Chuncai soon came back with two bottles of wine, wiped them carefully with a rag and handed them to Beiyuan xiuci. Beiyuan xiuci stared at them for a while, looked at the label, put one bottle in front of an yunyingzhu and smiled: "Mr. An Yun, this wine is for our own use. It was originally not sold for export, but when you come to our store, we have the responsibility to keep you happy. If you don't mind, can I exchange this bottle of wine in your hand?"
An Yun Yingzhu has a hunch that Beiyuan xiuci is mainly taking out the goods at the bottom of the box, but he doesn't take it to heart. He says the wine on his hand is almost worthless, but in fact, this bottle of flower eight from Nara is a first-class product in Japan. After all, a bottle costs more than seven or eight ordinary bottles. Beiyuan xiuci wants to take out better wine, which is unlikely in his opinion.
He only looked at the bottle in front of him with great interest, smiled and asked, "is this bottle of wine good?"
Beiyuan xiuci nodded with a smile: "this bottle of wine is good!"
Chunweiwu has long been criticized for its poor wine and good cuisine, and the profits of wine are quite high. Beiyuan xiuci once thought about selling his own wine. At the same time, it is also very convenient to operate, and the tools are ready-made.
Fukuzawa Zhilong has brewed wine before and wants to engage in the integration of brewing and sales. That is probably the dream of every wine house owner. However, Fukuzawa Zhilong has a little back and can't do anything. Naturally, he decisively failed, but he got a full set of tools and licenses.
After Beiyuan xiuci moved his mind, it was very convenient. He tried it directly, but the result was not much better.
It's not that he failed to make wine. The production of Japanese sake is very simple, or it was born out of Chinese rice wine. The process is basically the same. It's really something that can be done by rural workshops - Japanese sake originated from chewing wine, which is actually a mixture of wine and distiller's grains. It's really a broken residue and tastes very bad.
Then the ancient winemakers added lime to the chewing wine, and only took the clear liquid from the upper layer after precipitating the residue. It was regarded as a new wine and renamed "sake".
This is "sake" The origin of this word is that the taste is worse after adding lime, which makes people's scalp numb and almost unbearable. This bad luck lasted until the eighth century A.D., the ancient Korean country Baiji finally introduced the brewing method of Chinese rice wine to Japan. Only then did the Japanese learn to use koji fermentation to make wine. The wine is not only clear and transparent, but also has a strong smell of rice So far, modern sake has taken shape.
Therefore, Japanese sake was originally made from rice, the raw material for chewing wine, and the koji making method, the traditional Chinese rice wine making method. Although after thousands of years of development, there are great differences between the two kinds of wine today, the basic process remains unchanged, and the core lies in the making of koji - the reason why Ichiro Fukuzawa failed is that he can't be handed down from generation to generation The unique distiller's yeast, which can only be made of popular goods, has high cost and poor taste, and is directly defeated.
In other words, xiuci Beiyuan wants to make money by making wine. Although his [cooking] skills can not be directly used to make wine, he can make koji - in short, adding mold to steamed rice is an alternative food material - and passive [patronage of the God of food] can raise the finished product to a level with a low probability.
It took him more than 30 times to get away with making [perfect distiller's yeast], and he threw away a large number of [inferior distiller's yeast] and [ordinary distiller's yeast], and then took this [perfect distiller's yeast] to try to make wine, completely following the ancient law.
The first step is to grind rice. This step is called step by step, which is to grind off the outer layer of brown rice and transform it into semi refined rice. The outer layer of brown rice contains components such as protein and amino acids that can make sake delicious, but these components are too high, which will make the wine taste more complex. Therefore, it is necessary to grind off part of the outer layer of brown rice. The amount of grinding depends on the situation. For example, grinding off 40%, which is called 60% refined rice Step in;
Secondly, wash the rice, wash and soak the rice, and increase the water content of the rice at the same time;
Thirdly, steam rice, set up a big pot to make a fire and steam the rice;
Then again, put a small amount of steamed rice into a shallow wooden basin, put Jiuqu and an appropriate amount of water, and then try hard to stir for several days to make wine mother;
Thirdly, put the mother wine and a large amount of steamed rice into a wooden barrel and let it stand. Under the action of Jiuqu, the blooming powder in the rice will be decomposed into sugars that can promote alcohol fermentation;
Finally, put the rice that has been fermented into rice paste in the wooden barrel into the bag, press it vigorously, and the sake will flow out.
The above process comes from a skill book "famous Japanese mountain and sea products" eaten by xiuci Beiyuan. 70% of it is the traditional Japanese food material collection method and 30% is the traditional wine production method.
Hsiu Chi kithara successfully brewed the wine, but he did not charge it. It took a total of 35 days. Although most of the time was spent standing still, he still took it in for two days and one night. He also mobilized the whole family to work collectively on five rest days, which made everyone half tired.
More importantly, this is trial production, that is, testing the formula. For example, 90% of the refined rice is steamed in one pot, 80% of the refined rice is steamed in one pot, and so on. Finally, only seven bags of rice paste are obtained. After pressing, it is obvious that the quality is very turbid and poor, and only 17 bottles of pure and good wine are obtained. If he feels that he can sell it, even if it is sold according to the super grade good wine, a bottle of 350000 yen is only 700000 yen, which is not enough Why don't you open a shop honestly!
The main reason is that continuous stirring is too tiring. It needs to change hands continuously for two or three days. It is suspected of child abuse in the fuze family.
Unless he plans to recruit people to open a winery directly, small-scale brewing is just a pain in the neck - only large-scale brewing can make huge profits, and small-scale brewing is just a toss.
He tried once and then gave up. He felt that the store he had opened for three years was not worth selling his own wine, so he sealed up the seventeen bottles of good wine - he carefully watched the quality of these wines for a while. The labels were generally [perfect sake], [excellent sake], and even two bottles of variant varieties. If he sold those diners to drink and become addicted, If he has nothing to do, he will be in trouble.
No money or money, but now there is not enough manpower and time. After all, what he wants is not to play a new world in catering industry, or to be a Dionysus or a god of food.
Spring cuisine is quite interested in making its own wine. Occasionally, when making miso collectively, it will encourage Beiyuan xiuci to try to brew another batch. I feel that with the experience of the last time, the wine output should be greatly improved this time, but Beiyuan xiuci declined.
Now it's not necessary to make money by making wine. Although the old customers of Chunwei house often complain, the operating income has not been affected, so don't waste that time and toss everyone. However, he gave the summarized technological process, brewing experience and sealed perfect distiller's yeast to spring vegetables. If she is interested, she can open a small distillery when she grows up.
His main goal has not changed, that is, to spend his childhood safely and smoothly. Just enough money is enough. For the time being, he is not in a hurry to complete the original accumulation. But now the whole family of his classmates comes to the store for dinner. After spending three big tickets, his father complains about the wine too much. He thinks about it and decides to take a bottle of good wine to let this guy see it.
After working as a senior general in Chunwei house for a long time, he gradually developed the self-esteem of a famous chef. Although an yunyingzhu didn't show too obvious, he still felt that this guy was accusing their store of something wrong - there was something wrong, but he didn't hit people in the face. There was no need to talk about things with wine all the time? Although you paid, we also took out a full set of skills and entertained them wholeheartedly. We always talk about things we can't produce ourselves. What do you want to do?
Beiyuan xiuci directly took out the bottom goods of the test article, and an yunyingzhu nodded happily: "Beiyuan Jun, I'm not polite, but I'll pay for both bottles of wine. I'll put the bottle of flowers on the counter for me for the time being!"
He didn't come here to offend people. He was too strong to mix wine. He didn't deserve kithara xiuci's cooking level. He also had other purposes - he was the new wine maker supervisor.
Wine making is a workshop for making sake, or winery. At present, there are more than 1000 wine manufacturers in Japan, and the scale is not too large. It mainly needs a lot of manpower. Sake brewed by modern machines is not recognized by drinkers and is considered to be low-grade. In the 21st century, it is still semi mechanical and semi manual production.
Nagoya City, Aichi County, as an important town in Guanzhong, although all conditions are not suitable for brewing, of course, there are also wine manufacturers, including Xijiuxi Wine Co., Ltd., to which an yunyingzhu belongs. However, because he can't sell wine, he is about to close down - an yunyingzhu is the new supervisor who came to revive the company's once pillar wine "see winter storage".
After he came, he first visited the local wine industry leaders, famous hotels and major banks according to the rules, and then went to meet his former classmates and friends to connect with them. He happened to hear the rumor of Chunwei House - it's so powerful. A family style wine house just squeezed the pillar branches of ara catering group.
What's more, he also heard that the pure flavor house has magical cuisine, but the wine is very common. For him, it is sleepy and meets a pillow - he is a famous wine maker and is confident to raise the quality of Xuejian wine to a higher level, but now the reputation of the wine shop is a little smelly. What can we do?
So he inquired about the pure flavor house carefully, and then ran to try the cooking level of the pure flavor house himself. He found that it was really very good. It was unusual. Naturally, he wanted to emphasize that the wine was bad and could not match this kind of cuisine. He just waited for xiuci Beiyuan to ask, "dare you ask, what kind of good wine can complement my cuisine?"
Then he replied, "of course, the famous wine in Guanzhong has been hidden in winter!"
Beiyuan xiuci suddenly realized it and nodded again and again. Then they met and smiled, shook their hands and sympathized with each other. Finally, he gave Chunwei house low prices or even free wine. Chunwei house used its reputation in the food circle to help him regain the name of the new wine and restore the reputation of the wine maker. His wine maker naturally lived again.
Totally win-win, no problem!
Unfortunately, Beiyuan xiuci didn't play cards according to common sense. Under his explicit suggestion, he not only didn't ask for advice with an open mind, but took out a bottle of "good wine" at the bottom of the box and didn't sell to the outside world
However, an yunyingzhu is not afraid. He is a real veteran of the wine country. No matter what kind of wine it is, as long as he touches his lips, he can spray kithara xiuci on the spot. After all, he can convince him and finally achieve a win-win situation!
Alas, he is indeed a famous chef, but he is still a young man after all. He doesn't know how broad and profound wine is. Today, as an elder of the wine country, I will teach this boy a good lesson!
