Chapter 170: The leader lacks a secretary

Views:

Soap making workshop, about to bring good earnings.

The peanut processing workshop is also about to bring good income. Among the newly bought serfs, several chefs were arranged to study delicious peanuts. At present, peanut butter, peanut crisps, salt and pepper peanuts, and fried peanuts have been developed, and small batches are sold to the thorn caravan.

The response was very good. Many nobles tasted these delicious peanuts and expressed that they would buy a lot next time.

The peanut production in Huahua Town is insufficient, and the workers are also insufficient. The head of the peanut processing workshop, Chef Lucas, has entrusted the Thorn Caravan to purchase peeled peanuts from North Valley City.

"Well done." Liszt only verbally praised and left. The entire peanut processing workshop is his idea, and these people are just executors, without creativity.

He likes to use gold coins, silver coins, and copper plates to encourage creativity, discovery, and set models instead of encouraging serious work—because serfs should work hard.

The last stop is the brewery.

Frank distiller's grains can brew fruit wine, Bordin can brew rice wine, and Huntera can brew beer. Now they are hurrying to brew wine, trying to brew it as soon as possible, so as to earn income for the workshop. In the Naihe workshop, no one can make baijiu, and no one can make wine either.

Ordinary wine is no different from fruit wine.

However, refined wine requires high technical requirements, and the selection of grapes is also very careful. Dry, semi-dry, sweet, and semi-sweet wines require different techniques.

Only Tulip Fort on Coral Island has mastered the brewing technology of sweet wine, Crescent Wine, which is sweet and bitter, and is well-known in the Grand Duchy.

The red wine that Liszt drank in the cellar of Lacy Mountain Villa in Long Taro Castle is the best among dry wines.

These techniques are secret techniques that are not handed down, and are mastered exclusively by the great nobles.

The same goes for liquor.

As distilled wine, the brewing process of baijiu is more complicated, and it is monopolized by the nobles. Baijiu such as gin is not necessarily available for purchase.

Therefore, the brewing workshop in Huahua Town can only brew some simple fermented wine.

After inspecting the workshop, Liszt began to ponder: "If I remember correctly, distilled wine has one more process of distillation than fermented wine... It seems that the difference in vaporization temperature between alcohol and water is used to purify alcohol. Distillation yields strong spirits."

Because he doesn't like drinking, he has little research on alcohol.

I've read a lot of novels before, most of which have references to distilling liquor. It seems quite simple, so I have a vague impression.

"Perhaps, I can let the brewery study the technology of distilling alcohol, maybe I can brew liquor and increase the special products of Huahua Town."

Rice wine is wine fermented from grains.

Liquor is essentially brewed from grains.

Liszt thought, if the rice wine is further distilled, will we get white wine

So he called three winemakers: "I'll give you a mission. Remember, this mission is highly confidential. If anyone leaks it, the whole family will be flogged to death!"

The three brewers tightened their buttocks and responded one after another: "Swear to the death to keep the secret of the mission!"

"Very good, I got a recipe, it is said that baijiu is obtained by distilling rice wine, heating the rice wine, turning it into steam, and then introducing the steam into other places to cool it into water, the water in the rice wine can be removed, and the final remaining It's baijiu... You should try to brew baijiu from Huahua Town a few more times!"

The three winemakers were ignorant of what they heard.

But he still responded simply: "Please rest assured, Lord Lord, we will definitely brew liquor as soon as possible."

The task is arranged.

Liszt felt that another special product in Huahua Town was beckoning to him, and he even thought of the name at this moment: "It's called Huahua Niang, um, it has a high grade. The Huahua Niang with low alcohol content is called five-year-old wine, and the alcohol content is high." Yes, it can be called ten years of aging, twenty years of aging, or even one hundred years of aging in the cellar, or five hundred years... "

It suddenly occurred to him that the Grand Duchy of Sapphire only had a history of more than 150 years. Before that, there were probably only monkeys on the island.

"Five hundred years of aging is fine. Let's just have an aging wine that is the same age as the country. Let's say that in the year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, a winemaker came to Coral Island and brewed a tank of wine by himself... There is only one tank, but you can make one every year. The tank, just like the Lafite in 1982, has not been finished after drinking it for many years."

Thinking of wine sales, many classic cases immediately popped up in his mind.

However, risks have also been discovered: "The profiteering industry of liquor, without the backing of strong strength, is difficult to guarantee. We must cooperate with Tulip Castle."

With the banner of Tulip Castle, the business will be easy. As the Earl of the Grand Duke, Li William Tulip is definitely one of the high-level figures in the Grand Duchy of Sapphire.

What's more, he also serves as the Grand Duke's groom, and has close contact with the Grand Duke every year.

If he wanted to raise the banner, he must share the profits with Tulip Fort, and Liszt didn't mind - the more he integrated into this world, the more he understood the importance of noble connections.

Levi's, Li Weila, and even Li Dun, no matter how intriguing they are, they are still relatives. It is the existence that can provide help in times of crisis.

The Viscount of Little Papa Island was wiped out, and the Viscount of Grand Papa Island, who has been separated, is still running around, investigating and urging the Grand Duke to find the murderer.

Of course, Liszt hopes that the Tulip family can grow and become a towering tree that can shelter from wind and rain.

Li Longma walked smoothly, with almost no ups and downs.

Liszt can think about problems very well on horseback. His mind jumps back and forth before he thinks about the distribution of benefits. Here he jumps to another idea: "Speaking of monkeys, maybe I can hype monkey wine?" Monkey It doesn't matter whether Erjiu exists or not, what matters is the gimmick.

Aristocrats love extravagance the most.

Extravagance includes not only wearing gold and silver, precious stones and famous horses, but also art and the pursuit of rare things. Monkey wine is obviously a rarity.

"However, after all, there are too few aristocrats with rich background. They are all nouveau riche of three or four generations, including the Tulip family, which only made a fortune in recent generations. I really don't know how much I like monkey wine. , they should prefer gems and gold coins."

In any case, when selling fruit wine, you can start with a wave of hype.

Subsequently, Liszt inspected several other shops and workshops.

At present, in Huahua Town, there are only three shops in the commercial area: bakery, grocery store, and barber shop. In the workshop area, there are only blacksmith shop, cobbler shop, locksmith shop, tailor shop, as well as the barrel shop and the newly built wine making workshop and soap making workshop. , Peanut processing workshop.

Many wooden houses that have been built are empty.

If there were not many serfs paving roads, building houses, and planting grass, Huahua Town would look like a ghost village.

Four hundred and seventy-six serfs joined and were assigned to farm in various villages, without causing much trouble. Most of the more than 100 craftsmen who have high hopes are workers who do not have the ability to independently support shops and workshops. For the time being, they can only follow along to farm, wasting their craft skills.

"In a short period of time, the commercial area can only be used as a trading market to receive occasional caravans." He looked at the empty house and was very emotional. "We must first vigorously develop the workshop area and become a production and processing center before we can drive business." development of the district."

He pointed to the business district.

I really want to gesture "how to build here" and "how to build here", but when I turned my head, I saw that only the servant Thomas and a few knights were following behind me.

They are all vulgar people.

For a moment, the ambition to show great ambitions was suppressed again.

"Leadership inspections, not to mention the grassroots cadres and the masses, at least two secretaries must follow, hold a small book, and record what I say at any time..."
