technical type

Since that day, Guo Yuan and Ji Mo’s daily routine in the wine shop has almost settled down. When they come in the morning, they will report to Du Kun, and the other party will drag them into the small living room of the room and start giving lectures. , mainly some things related to wine making, not only the ingredients and recipes, but also the relevant knowledge of the wine making process, and some of them are about etiquette.

It may be to pave the way for the activities in mid-July. There is a bit of superstition in the ceremony. It cannot be said that it is right or wrong. The growth of knowledge points also has changes. Sometimes it does not move, and occasionally moves, although it can be regarded as real-time feedback. , but after seeing the feedback, it is a bit troublesome to recall whether it should be remembered or not.

The process of teaching is also mixed with the learning of some commonly used words, which is really a surprise.

"I'm here to learn how to make wine, so I need to learn how to write!"

Guo Yuan complained to Ji Mo after class.

Du Kun has very low requirements for them to learn characters. They can recognize and read. There is no requirement for writing. It is best if they can write. It is also possible to come out.

The key point is to be able to read and read, because after the wine is brewed, some wines need to be stored in sealed altars, and there are also requirements on the storage time. If it is a small amount, the human brain memory can also play a heavy role. It is rare for a person in charge of memory to have such a good brain, not to mention how often geniuses appear among ordinary people.

If you allow illiterate people to use private marks, it is not impossible, or it may have been done this way at the beginning, but the disadvantage of this is that if the person who made the mark has something wrong, forgets or something, it will make things troublesome stand up.

For good winemakers, they can also judge the age and approximate age by tasting the taste of the wine. However, the sealed wine jar is opened just to taste the taste and judge how many years it will be stored. Trouble or not, even the opening of the altar during this process will spoil the taste and dissipate the smell of wine.

This kind of attention is a bit metaphysical. Ji Mo thinks that it should be the same as opening the lid casually when making rice to release most of the steam, and finally the rice becomes raw rice.

Maybe there is indeed some truth in it, and it is not easy to get to the bottom of it now.

Therefore, there will be words posted on the outside of the wine jars stored in the wine shop, a rectangular note with the name of the wine and the storage period on it. If it is more romantic, it will write more words such as "Peach and plum fragrance" "Occasion" and other words to specify the good weather of the day.

If the top is so unified, the people below must be able to recognize these words, and outsiders are not allowed to enter the place where the wine jars are stored, that is, they disciples can come in and out, and they have to register with the steward.

"It's always good to learn more."

Ji Mo always comforts Guo Yuan in this way, and he is still grateful for this in his heart. It is not easy to be able to read. After reading, he can read some things by himself. He has long discovered that there is a Some books, I don’t know if I can borrow one or two in the future.

At noon, the two of them would eat together with their brothers and sisters. The food here is really good. After eating for a few days, Ji Mo felt that he was getting fatter. Guo Yuan even made a big wish, that is, For this meal every day, he is willing to clean the yard every day.

Yes, the cleaning of the yard is also their job. Later every day, before going back, they will roughly clean it, and they don’t require too much detail, but it’s enough not to accumulate dust everywhere. Winemaking also needs an environment Clean.

In the afternoon, most of them have to go to the drying hall with the sixth brother Dong Chao to work. The crops of grain are continuously steamed and dried, and there are times when the rice is mixed and needs to be dried. The two of them just flipped over, and it wasn't too tiring, and they managed to master a little more labor-saving skills after doing a lot.

Guo Yuan even invented a fancy [-]-turn style, like children fighting with a stick, everyone wants to be the Monkey King who turns the world upside down, he can perform a fighting scene in the air, and it’s quite a bit to turn over the grain Heh heh heh posture.

Dong Chao didn't get annoyed when he saw it, and he applauded Guo Yuan, one big and one small, they could do a few tricks with bamboo rakes, watching the food flying between their bamboo rakes, Ji Mo just wanted to roll his eyes , What kind of childlike innocence is this!

Fortunately, they have a sense of proportion and will not really turn the grain beyond the border. Dong Chao often used his hands to test the temperature, and taught the two of them how to judge whether the temperature reached the standard by touching. They took it out to dry at different times. What temperature should the grain reach.

Before mixing the koji, after mixing the koji, if it is like throwing rice repeatedly, it is necessary to keep the temperature of the rice not higher than that of the rice to be thrown, and it must not be cold, and it must not be alternately hot and cold, so that it is mixed, and it is easy to be sour when mixed. .

This kind of small knowledge can also add a little bit of professional knowledge, but it cannot be added repeatedly. Ji Mo was not impatient and continued to observe and study.

Later, I learned the method of Wubotang from Dong Chao. The so-called Wubotang is related to the water used for wine making.

"There is Jiuquan on the mountain, it would be better to just get the spring water, why do this?"

Guo Yuan's question was always one step ahead of Ji Mo's, and it was Ji Mo's question again, so he stopped talking and listened to Dong Chao's answer.

Dong Chao didn't make a fool of himself, and said directly: "Water is water, but when is the best time to draw water to make wine, do you know?"

"I don't know, please give me some advice." Ji Mo hurriedly spoke in front of Guo Yuan. For this kind of rhetorical question, Guo Yuan was able to push the topic further. Past experience told Ji Mo that when it comes to key issues, It is best not to let him take over the topic, otherwise it will be close to the topic if it is thousands of miles away.

Among the two, Dong Chao preferred Guo Yuan, but he didn't mean to be sorry for Ji Mo. Hearing his question in a serious manner, he gave him a dull look, and replied: "I want to be frozen in the first day of the mulberry tree." Time to get water is better..."

He obviously hadn't finished speaking yet. Guo Yuan was cut off from speaking just now, and now he couldn't wait to ask: "Ah, why! How do you make wine at other times? Is there still a big water tank to store water?..."

Look, look, this is Guo Yuan's divergent thinking, and he turned the question to him in one breath. Why hasn't anyone heard of the big water altar, where is the water altar stored, etc. This kind of digression can be described as Is very good at it.

Dong Chao laughed, thinking that Guo Yuan's question was funny, and after listening to him talk for a long time, he still smiled and didn't say anything, and when Guo Yuan urged him, he joked and said, "Just now, I was interrupted by you before I finished speaking." , I won’t talk about it, you just need to talk about it, I’ll see what reason you can come up with…”

"If I know how senior brother bullies people, I won't learn from senior brother..." Guo Yuan retorted, and in his words, he brought in some small things from the time when the two of them played around in the past, arguing Dong Dong like a general ledger. How does Chao love to bully people, and he only bullies him and so on. At the end, Ji Mo, who has been patiently waiting for the topic, complains: "Senior brother just bullies me!"

In the end, he gave Ji Mo a small look, which meant "I'll help you with the disaster".

Oh, thank you so much.

Ji Mo was a little dissatisfied. He didn't like Dong Chao's attitude very much. Maybe teasing children is really fun, but this kind of fun is only between the two of them. It doesn't matter whether Guo Yuan likes to be teased, he just serves as a foil Yes, I always feel that it is a waste of time. However, those senior brothers who really have time to explain some knowledge to the two of them, except for the senior brother, that is, the sixth senior brother Dong Chao.

Others who don't talk about being taciturn, but who admit that they are not good at talking, don't like to take on this troublesome thing. They can't benefit if they talk well, and they can't get benefits if they don't talk well. Just like senior brothers, when the master lectures, he must It's quite embarrassing to be scolded a few more times for taking the lead.

What's more, the knowledge learned by oneself is always one's own. If you tell it out, it seems to be cheap for others. They don't say how narrow-minded they are, but they are not willing to let others enjoy it.

It's as if some people who are good at learning are willing to waste their time giving lectures to others, while others don't want to at all. Of course, they can't force those who don't want to. With a not-so-serious naughty temper, I love to talk to them.

After the slander is over in my heart, I just sigh helplessly, what can I do?bear with it.

After those two had wasted a long time talking and talking, during which time there was still a little fighting and Guo Yuan was picked up and tossed twice, and then they got back to the topic.

During this long waiting time, Ji Mo has been watching the two laughing and playing like a wooden stake. When Dong Chao started to speak, he concentrated and listened seriously.

The water taken during the first freezing of mulberry trees is good, but it cannot be used to make wine all year round. The amount of other water is too small to meet the needs of the winery, so it must be collected from other times at other times. Water is drawn from Jiuquan, so there is a season for drawing reclaimed water. The climate here is warm, and it is mostly available in February.

Again, regardless of the season, the water drawn at any time must be boiled five times to become five boiling soup, and then soaked in koji after cooling down. This is also a compromise.

So, five boiling soup is water that has been boiled five times.After remembering this concept, Ji Mo and Guo Yuan followed Dong Chao to do it again by themselves. They boiled the water and let it cool down. There was also a requirement that they should not lose their temperature completely. Cool a bit, just enough to use.

I did it myself, and I’m sure it’s not difficult. Ji Mo is also relieved. This one is mainly a conceptual problem, and the operation is not difficult. It is really laborious to pour water or something.
