Chapter 45
"Okay, that's it!" Song Chen felt that there was no need to continue talking. He didn't like to manage these trivial matters.
As the actual owner of the winery, he is surrounded by these trivial matters every day, which is not the life he wants.
Uncle Tong was driving the ox cart, and Song Chen and Aunt Tong sat next to him, and arrived at Lao Zhangtou leisurely. Not to mention that he had a special feeling when riding the ox cart.
As soon as the three of them arrived at Lao Zhang, the weird old man congratulated Uncle Tong and Aunt Tong, saying that they had raised a good son, and his boy was simply a genius. This time, many problems with the still were solved by A Niu.
This stupid big man felt a little embarrassed and touched the back of his head, "Am I that powerful?"
Lao Zhang, who has always regarded himself very well, said confidently that in just two years, this boy's skills will surpass him, and A Niu's talent is not only that. As long as he has his own unique vision for the firing craftsmanship.
Even Song Chen thought this was a miracle. Maybe the matter of burning glass in the future can be relied on A Niu.
In a joyful atmosphere, the distillation test began. This time, Song Chen must get out the high-alcohol liquor!
Everyone stopped chatting, and the few people started to get busy. The experiment of setting up firewood, burning fire, lifting pots, filling wine, and distilling wine started.
According to Song Chen's memory that had expanded n times, distilled liquor may have appeared in the north during the Song Dynasty, but Song Chen did not think that this would pose any threat to him.
In this world, he will produce highly liquor on a large scale and industrial scale, and there will be only him and no branches!
Everyone is very busy. This kind of busyness is meaningful and busyness. Even the dissatisfied old man Zhang is helping, but this matter has nothing to do with him.
The fire soon rose, and Song Chen repeatedly warned them not to be too big. When they saw the first steam coming out of the distiller, they had to control the fire, control the temperature, and control the temperature in a range, which could only fluctuate slightly. This is very important to success or failure.
But this is difficult to grasp. However, at least he made a rough mercury thermometer, and the water distillation temperature was 75 degrees Celsius. When the water evaporation temperature was reached, a mark was made on the mercury meter and repeated tests and marks were barely enough.
Several people kept shuttled through this small space, everyone was a little nervous, and there was a constant situation in the middle.
It is true that Song Chen is a time traveler, but he is not a god. During the distillation process, many unexpected situations occurred. Fortunately, several people worked together to solve the problem, and this is the strength of the team.
After tasting the cooled liquid in the distillation furnace, Song Chen could hardly taste the smell of wine, which indicated that he had been almost distilled. He waved his hand and signaled that he could stop. If he continued to practice now, fuel would be wasted.
The other container in the distillation furnace is naturally wine!
The principle is to heat the wine to a certain level, which is 75 degrees Celsius, which is the volatilization temperature of the wine. The water vapor emitted is actually the wine. The water vapor passes through the pipe to the container on the other side, and slowly cools and turns into liquid again.
It is wine that removes moisture, and this kind of wine becomes purer and has a higher degree. A rare high wine in this world has been released.
Uncle Tong, despite the fact that the heat in the distillation furnace had not subsided, scooped a bowl of distilled wine, "Xiaochen, this is the first bowl of wine, you, the big boss, should try it!"
"Xiaochen, don't refuse!" Aunt Tong followed her, and she also wanted to see what the difference was like in this wine.
After saying this, Song Chen naturally couldn't refuse. He knew that the wine after the first distillation had a heavy sorghum smell and was not good at all, so he had to drink it with his teeth.
The moment I drank it, my throat was sore, the wine was still primitive and rough, but the distillation was successful because the alcohol content was really improved. This was a huge leap in the brewing industry. Today is definitely a day worth recording in the history of brewing!
You should know that in this era, even for princes and nobles, high wine is a luxury item, and it is hard to find. Think about how huge a market Song Chen has opened!
And he relies on the experience and common sense of modern people, and he has successfully made it without spending much money, with a low cost and high selling price. Think about how high the gross profit it has.
High-level wine has huge profit margins, and the winery will soon become a goose that can lay golden eggs!
Seeing Song Chen's reluctantly swallowing, Uncle Tong's heart suddenly became tight. In his heart, Xiaochen was no different from his own children. This "distilled liquor" took a lot of effort and even his family's assets were betting on it. If he didn't succeed, his partner would really feel guilty.
So as soon as he saw Song Chen put down the bowl, he almost grabbed it and took a big sip. He was quite drunk, but the moment he sipped, he actually choked and coughed violently.
Seeing this, Aunt Tong kept slapping his back hard, shouting: "Old man, don't be stubborn if you can't drink!"
At this time, Uncle Tong was shocked in his heart, and this choke was very worth it.
Only then did he feel the potential of this wine. He had a deeper understanding of the market attractiveness of this high wine than Song Chen.
So he was very happy that this distilled liquor would succeed, compared to this, the aftertaste of sorghum is simply a small matter.
Lao Zhang is usually an old alcoholic, but because these people are his financial supporters, they should be "reserved" in everything they say. The alcoholic's intuition told him that he had never drunk the wine in front of him.
So I kept swallowing my saliva and restrained my urge to not grab the wine bowl, so as not to annoy the financial owner.
The wine brewed by this new method looks crystal clear and fragrant. It is still this aunt of Tong's family who has the strength to see and hand it to him tactfully. He took it with both hands, afraid of missing a drop of wine. There is nothing to stop it at this moment, and he yearned for wine.
The moment he drank it, he felt a feeling of tears. The wine he drank in the first half of his life could no longer be defined as wine, it was just sweet water.
This wine that makes the throat hurt is the wine that real men drink, and the wine that alcoholics should drink!
Aunt Tong saw that the people who had drunk this wine had different reactions. Old Zhang obviously liked the wine. The old man of his family was very excited and liked the wine very much. The key point was that he liked it very much.
And Song Chen is completely like drinking rotten water!
As for herself, she is usually a person with a little alcohol tolerance, so she took a sip.
I think this wine is really the rumored high-end wine, and it feels hot and spicy when I sip it.
She has heard of Gaojiu, and it is rumored that even if she has money, she can't buy it. If this wine is sold, all major high-end restaurants will rush to buy it, which is stable.
