Chapter 1104

After calming Gaochang, the Tang army had no war. They just had to wait for the next order of the imperial court. All the generals were bored waiting for the new order.

"By the way, why don't you see Mojia Zi? What are Mojia Zi doing?" Hou Junji frowned and asked. Recently, they often meet with various generals, but only Mojia Zi's Dragon sees the head and doesn't see the tail.

"General, I heard that Mohist was recruiting Gaochang craftsmen to Datang. Everything was going very well and the craftsmen cooperated very well. However, the wine workshop encountered difficulties. The stubborn winemakers didn't hand over the secret recipe and didn't want to go to Datang. They thought that Mohist was solving the matter." Xin liaoer gloated.

Everyone knows that once the Mohist family obtains these two secret skills, it will be rich. Now the Mohist family is frustrated, and it is the most valuable wine secret skill. Xin liaoer can't help feeling gloating.

"The benevolence of women." Hou Junji snorted coldly. Now they are winners and conquerors. Just give an order, who in Gaochang dares to refuse their plan and kill those who refuse, he doesn't believe that the workshops dare to resist.

Xin liao'er said, "it's a pity to come to mojiazi. It is said that the condition of the wine making workshop is that if mojiazi wants to move the wine making workshop to Datang, he must find another livelihood for a group of grape farmers."

"Another livelihood!"

Hou Junji moved in his heart and waved, "go and find out what the Mohists are doing?"

"Yes!" Xin liao'er left reluctantly. Now it's noon. Gaochang has an extremely hot climate. It's not a good job to go out in the sun.

Gaochang city is located in the famous Turpan Basin of later generations. It is known as the three furnaces. The famous Flame Mountain of later generations is here. It is extremely hot every summer, and the high temperature can reach daytime.

Fortunately, the battle of Gaochang was ended ahead of schedule because of the destruction of the city by the powder of the Mohist school. Otherwise, I'm afraid some people will suffer if it is dragged into the hot summer.

"It's still comfortable in Chang'an city."

Merton looked up at the hot sun and only felt waves of heat coming. Although the summer in Chang'an city is very hot, it can be borne by people. Not to mention the popularity of ice making technology, it can make people spend the summer easily.

Of course, such hot weather does not bring all the heat to Gaochang, but also sweet and juicy fruits, and Gaochang grapes are among the best, which makes every business trip passing Gaochang full of praise.

"Young master, the grapes have been transported." Zhang Mu came in a hurry in the scorching heat, with a group of Gaochang fruit farmers pulling a cart of newly picked grapes behind him.

"Sure enough!" Merton came forward, picked up a bunch of grapes and tasted them. They were really sweet and delicious.

"Thank you for your exaggeration," the old winemaker said proudly.

"Let's go"

Merton touched his sweat and waved his hand.

Suddenly, Gaochang fruit farmers pushed the grapes they had just picked and put them into a strange house in front of them. Ordinary houses only left doors and windows, and the house had many dense holes on all sides. It could even be said that it was ventilated on all sides, and it was covered with ropes. Fruit farmers hung clusters of grapes on the rope.

"This batch is the most mature grapes." the old winemaker was a little reluctant. In the past, the first batch and the best grapes were specially used for wine making in wine workshops. However, now they are hung in such a room full of pores by mohou. If the grapes are bad, it will be a natural thing.

Merton looked at the expression of the old winemaker. He didn't know what he was thinking. At the moment, he said with a smile: "don't worry, the climate of Gaochang is unique, the summer is high, and the temperature difference between day and night is great. The sugar content of melons and fruits is very high. If grapes are put into the shade room, they will only evaporate the moisture of grapes quickly, leaving sugar, just like preserved fruits?"

The old winemaker couldn't help but look at the preserved fruit. He naturally knew that if it could be made into preserved fruit, it could be preserved and transported for a long time, but the grapes were too wet. Once the preserved fruit was generally cut, it would soon break down, but he didn't think that mojiazi had a wonderful idea to hang the whole bunch of grapes and specially invented a house to dry the grapes.

In this way, grapes have peel protection and will not break down. They can also evaporate water and retain sugar in a short time. They will not break down naturally, and even have a higher sweetness, just like icing honey.

Other winemakers are also skeptical, but when they think of the legendary experience of mojiazi, they are a little relieved. After all, what mojiazi said has a certain truth.

Once the raisins mentioned by mojiazi are successfully made, it is not only convenient for preservation, but also convenient for transportation. It can be popularized by every household, which is much better than the income of brewing wine.

"The old man naturally believes in mohou, but those fruit farmers have never seen this method, so I'm afraid they will question mohou." the old winemaker hesitated. After all, this method is the first time. These fruit farmers must have doubts. After all, this is the result of their hard work for a year. In previous years, they were purchased by the winery for money, but now they let them stay in the shade to dry. In case it doesn't work, Then I'm afraid they have nothing to lose.

Merton stalled and said, "how could the first winemaker know the formula of wine? It must have been questioned until he brewed sweet and delicious grape wine, which caused everyone to follow suit. The same is true for raisins!"

The old winemaker could not help but be silent. It was passed down from generation to generation in Gaochang that the first person to make wine inadvertently discovered it. It is so similar to today's situation, but now that Gaochang has just lost the war, fruit farmers' livelihood for a year is on grapes, so they naturally worry about gain and loss.

Merton waved his big hand and said, "what's the difficulty? Go and tell those fruit farmers that the grapes in Gaochang this year are all collected according to the price last year, so that they can transport them safely."

"Thank you, mohou!"

The old winemaker couldn't help but rejoice. It is worthy of being a generous Mo family. In this way, the fruit farmers have no worries.

Soon, with the carts of raisins pulled into the shade room to dry, the great pen of mojiazi spread all over Gaochang city. Everyone knows that mojiazi is not letting the workshop make wine, but preparing to dry raisins.

"Raisins!" Hou Junji raised his eyebrows when he heard Xin liao'er's report.

"That's right! Now the mojiazi has requisitioned the wine workshop to dry raisins, and spent money to buy all the grapes. Now it has spread all over Gaochang city." Xin liaoer frowned.

"Raisins! Forget it, it's up to Mojia Zi to toss!" Hou Junji waved his hand. When Tuyuhun was in the last western expedition, Mojia Zi made green reserve feed. This time, it's not surprising that Mojia Zi made raisins again in Gaochang.

What really concerns Hou Junji is another thing, that is, the good news of the western expedition should also come to Chang'an city.
