Chapter 326
Everyone came to watch the fun or help.
It wasn't until he helped put all the food into the large warehouse where the food was stored that he left with envy and hatred.
Who wouldn’t envy such a large and sturdy granary?
Although it is the autumn harvest season of grain, most of the people with fields have harvested grain at home, and there is grain at home, but who has so much? Who has such a good granary?!
There is a golden daughter in Lao Xu's family, and her life is going to become more and more prosperous.
She knows how to make loquat paste, brew loquat wine, and now she knows how to brew grain wine. She also made a special trip to inspect the market situation. She is so jealous of such a powerful girl.
Xu Youde found a firecracker from somewhere and lit it at the gate of the wine shop.
It’s a celebration of the official opening of Xu Jiaojiao’s wine shop.
Mrs. Xu Zhang also stood at the door of the winery and said a few polite words to ask her rural neighbors to take care of her.
First, if you are too busy to ask for work, ask your neighbors to come over and help.
Secondly, if you want to buy wine at home in the future, you can come directly to the wine shop and be guaranteed to pay the cost price.
Everyone should come down.
These are all good things.
Mr. Li Zheng also came over and said a few words, hoping that Xu Jiaojiao's winery would prosper and make good wine.
Xu Jiaojiao also thanked her and turned back to her work.
Brewing is a physical job. In the first wave, she had to do it herself, brewing dozens of kilograms, and tried and tested repeatedly to master the alcohol content and taste.
After that, large-scale mass production can be achieved.
In the first few days, family members were watching, including Xu Laoer, Xu Laosi, Erlang, Sanlang, Silang, Xu Youde, Liao Qing and others.
Look at how Xu Jiaojiao operates. Xu Jiaojiao does everything herself and doesn't let them step in to help.
Of course, when lighting a boiler or something, she would tell them to use whatever heat she asked them to use. Liao Qing and the others would be responsible for burning the boiler and other menial chores nearby.
After several days of trying, Xu Jiaojiao finally brewed new wine.
New wine is pungent and does not have a good taste. It must be stored for a period of time and then blended before it can be used.
They were all put into separate jars and fermented.
She also took a piece of paper to record the time, method, etc.
While waiting for the wine to ferment, Xu Jiaojiao formulated the rules of the winery, the knowledge of production safety, precautions, hygiene, etc., the storage of wine, and storage methods. She made several rules and asked Liao Qing to compile them for her.
A brochure.
Safety production knowledge is briefly written in large characters and posted on the eye-catching exterior wall.
When people come, let the literate people read to the illiterate people.
As for the employee handbook, many people in the village are illiterate, so there is no need for everyone to have a copy for the time being, so Xu Jiaojiao kept it as a backup.
Regarding the name of the wine, Xu Jiaojiao asked the whole family for their opinions. Can anyone think of a good name?
No one in the family has any good suggestions.
Xu Jiaojiao offered a high price of one tael of silver to the people of Xujia Village, and even the entire Qingshui Town or surrounding villagers, to brainstorm a good name for the wine.
Of course, she is also learning modern marketing methods.
The naming is true, and the advertising is also true.
In this way, people in dozens of miles around may know that Xujia Village, the old Xu family, has opened a wine shop.
Her main plan is to sell the wine overseas, via He Yanxi to Bingyang City and other cold cities.
But that doesn’t stop her from wanting to start a nearby business!
In nearby businesses, no matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat.
The wine hasn't been brewed yet, let's get a name for it first.
First, she would pay a tael of silver to register her name, and then, after the wine was brewed, she would hold a free reception or something like that... This kind of marketing method could be readily used by a modern person like her.
Don’t be afraid that the winery won’t be famous.
…
While Xu Jiaojiao was busy with the wine shop, she did not forget about farming.
She also plans to plant wheat on her fifteen acres of empty land. When the wheat is harvested next year, she will make wheat wine. The taste of wheat wine is also good.
As a result, she discovered that after taking back the millet, their village stopped growing anything.
She was surprised and asked Xu Youde why he didn't plant crops anymore? Wheat, barley, rapeseed, soybeans, sesame, cotton, etc... You can grow anything!
Xu Youde said it was because he wanted to raise fields.
It is possible to plant for more than a year, but if the fields are not fertile, the harvest will not be good.
Buying seeds also costs money. It is better to only plant them for one season and harvest the millet once. Millet is more valuable than other miscellaneous grains.
Because the conditions for rice cultivation are harsh, it is not possible to grow rice just because it happens to be possible in this place, so they must try their best to grow valuable crops.
Xu Jiaojiao understood, it turned out to be like this.
Now in ancient times, there was no such thing as agricultural, industrial and chemical fertilizers, so we could only rely on nature, or collect cow dung, pig dung, dog dung, and our own human excrement.
No wonder Ms. Xu Zhang asked her children to run home to poop or pee when they went out to play.
These are fertilizers and cannot be wasted in the wild, or used in other people's homes to make it easier for them.
…
These little guys won’t be stifled, right?
Xu Jiaojiao secretly complained.
However, Xu Jiaojiao was somewhat helpless about replanting.
It seems...she can't make modern fertilizers.
In modern times, there are chemical fertilizers, various agricultural fertilizers, etc., which can be planted for two seasons, and the yield per mu can reach more than 2,000 kilograms!
Now, the maximum amount is four to five hundred kilograms, and we only grow one crop of rice a year.
The technology is not up to par and the productivity is not good. No wonder so many poor people don’t have enough to eat now.
…

After building the winery, Liao Qing would come to Lao Xu's house to report basically every day.
His daily routine is to go hunting in the mountains early in the morning. After hunting and selling things, he goes back to do business. In his free time, he stays at Lao Xu's house when he has nothing to do.
Mother Liao had some objections at first, "The child's father, look at this child, he hasn't even gotten married yet, and he runs to Lao Xu's house every day. What does this look like!"
Father Liao said, "Why do you care so much about the child? The child has returned everything he hunted every day, so it's not like he has no work. When he is growing up now, he eats more every day. He goes to Lao Xu's house to help with work.
It can also save our family money on meals! Also, think about it, go to Lao Xu’s house to connect with his wife Xu Jiaojiao and learn wine making from her. In the future, won’t our Liao Qing also have an extra skill? From now on, as a married couple
The two of them run a wine shop and live a prosperous life, how wonderful it is!"
Mother Liao thought about it, okay.
But, "The child's father, what you said makes sense, but our Liao Qing is not bad, so I was wondering if I could not let her go out to be a son-in-law. Last time I told Xu Jiaojiao to let her go back."
