Chapter 15 Quick Projects (5)
When the people in front of Mr. Zhu saw Huo Chong coming out of the workshop, they were even more noisy. "Stealing the Master" and "Taking the Fraud", such words were fired at Huo Chong like a machine gun. However, the vocabulary of the country people was limited, and there were only a few words over and over again. It was just that there were many people and loud voices, and that was all.
After hearing this for a while, Huo Chong couldn't help laughing. He probably didn't expect Huo Chong to react like this. The person who was cursing on the street was stunned for a while. Huo Chong smiled at himself until he yawned a big shot and stopped laughing.
After yawning, Huo Chong suddenly wanted to laugh again. This wasn't really about mocking the guys on the other side. Huo Chong remembered that he had seen the p2p platform that was forced to debt, and those cheated users reacted like this. Huo Chong never expected that he would face such a situation in 1717 rather than 2017.
"Huo Chong, why are you so shameless! You are still laughing! Why are you laughing!" A curse came from the opposite side.
Huo Chong sighed, "It's so easy for people to be self-indulgent. He just sighed for a moment and had nothing to do with other people." At this time, Huo Chong also explained, and Huo Chong sneered, "Are you saying I'm a steal?"
"It's you!" "It's you!" A few guys who just quarreled were immediately noisy.
Huo Chong felt that he was very weak at this time, so he took a few steps forward and lowered his voice, "Hey! You said I stole the master, then whose master did I stole?"
"You stole my master!" shouted the guy who was obviously Mr. Zhu's apprentice.
Huo Chong looked at Mr. Zhu and saw Mr. Zhu holding the truth. Huo Chong said hello to Mr. Zhu. Seeing that Mr. Zhu didn't say anything, Huo Chong continued, "Uncle Zhu, do you think you are the only one who brews wine in the world?"
When Mr. Zhu didn't understand, he looked puzzled on his face. Huo Chong continued, "This radius is dozens of miles, and it is not the one who brews wine, you Mr. Zhu. I just want to ask, Mr. Zhu, if you learned to brew wine with your master."
As soon as Mr. Zhu said this, before his apprentice rushed over, trying to push Huo Chong. Huo Chong was a small captain and had already twisted the guy's arm to suppress him. Although his body was weak, the other party's flaw was too big, so that these guys knew that there was no chance of winning the fight.
Sure enough, when the others saw Huo Chong suppressing his companions so neatly, they did not dare to come up again. Huo Chong was about to speak, when he saw Landlord Liu, who was nicknamed Sanwa Gang in the village, came and shouted from afar: "Huo Chong, what are you doing!"
Huo Chong pushed the suppressed guy away and shouted: "Brother Liu, are you here to judge Mr. Zhu?"
This made Sanhuan unable to say anything directly. The fat face of the squat was a little angry. After a moment, Sanhuan said, "Huo Chong, if you have someone to steal the squat, what else do you have to say?"
"I want to say that if Mr. Zhu wants to say that the world's brewing wine is taught by him, then he can talk about stealing the master. If it weren't for this, there would be an explanation for stealing the master!"
Mr. Zhu probably understood this time and immediately shouted: "As long as I use my wine, it will smell like my wine. Did you steal my wine? You will know as soon as you drink it! Huo Chong, you can bring the wine out for everyone to taste, do you dare?"
Huo Chong felt even more at ease when he heard this. Mr. Zhu was right. Each type of wine koji will contain its own unique bacteria, and the alcohol produced by each bacteria after decomposing the grain is also different. This taste will come out.
"Since Mr. Zhu said that, I will go back and steam the wine." After that, Huo Chong wanted to go back. But seeing that the people outside were motionless, Huo Chong turned around and asked, "Are you all going to block the door and wait?"
"Huo Chong, don't be clever!" Mr. Zhu sneered: "Do you think you can fool people by secretly changing wine? I will just take my apprentice to guard the door, so don't think about going out."
Seeing that things were not good, Huo Chong had to go back to the workshop. Zhu Lianlian's brother-in-law was named Zhu Erniu. When he saw Huo Chong coming back, he immediately said in panic: "Huo Chong, let's say that the wine is sour, but it won't be better."
"Are you a hamper?" Huo Chong was so angry that he wanted to beat Zhu Erniu. Not long ago, Zhu Erniu scolded Huo Chong like a betrayal of his parents, saying that Huo Chong had ruined his wine. Unexpectedly, he felt that the wine was sour and became a reason to escape. In this situation outside, it doesn't matter whether the wine was sour or not.
Zhu Erniu clearly felt that he was doomed this time, so he said, "Isn't it just a drink? I won't win if I admit it."
"Don't talk nonsense! Huo Chong will do what I said!" Huo Chong pulled Zhu Erniu's collar and shouted.
Zhu Erniu whispered: "Brother Huo, I just took someone else's..."
"Fuck! You steal the things I added! You steal the wine-making thing I made! If you want to recognize it, I will return my things to me first, but I spent money! You pay me back the money!"
When he heard that he had to pay back the money and listened to Huo Chong's righteous speech, Zhu Erniu looked about to collapse and squatted directly to the ground with his head in his hands.
Huo Chong didn't want to pay attention to this coward, so he shouted at Zhu Erniu's two small workers: "You all work quickly! You can do whatever I ask you to do!"
It is best to steam wine in a ventilated place. Under the order of Huo Chong, two junior brothers Liu Shiwang and Zhu Erniu moved the distillation device built by Huo Chong to the yard. Copper pipes were installed on ordinary steam wine barrels.
Looking at the only valuable thing left to him by his master Uncle Liu, Huo Chong sighed in his heart. If it weren't for burning incense for the ancestor, Uncle Liu would probably even bring this copper furnace when he ran away.
Li Tongshan could punch iron pipes, so he took the opportunity to let Li Tongshan shoot out the copper pipe. I hope the copper pipe will work this time. There is no need to delay at this time. Huo Chongming said: "Shi Wang, just put this in the wine bit by bit."
"Put this?" Liu Shiwang was stunned. He pointed to the wooden barrel containing quicklime in suspicion and asked tentatively: "Senior Brother, do you really want to put this in?"
Huo Chong didn't say much, so he went to the house to take out a small pickup spoon of big wine, scooped half a spoon of quicklime and put it in the wine. Then he started stirring with a wooden stick. When the lime melted, Huo Chong scooped some wine and tasted it, which was still sour. Then he ordered Liu Shiwang, "Just do it like this. Every time you melt the lime, call me once."
Liu Shiwang timidly took the scoop and wooden stick and started to fuck it carefully.
Zhu Erniu's two small workers were also arranged by Huo Chong for the same job. Seeing that they were not sure about it, Huo Chong felt regretful. He really didn't have time. If he had enough time, he would have to do litmus test paper.
Although modern winemaking industry has long stopped using litmus, it means that such a thing is not obvious, and various pH testers have been popularized. However, without modern tools, litmus test paper is more effective than using human organs to judge.
The various mentioned in the winemaking report...
"Brother Huo, what do those people outside?" Xu Youlin's voice came from beside him.
Huo Chong asked back: "How do you talk about the so-called "shoulder"?
Xu Youlin sat down beside Huo Chong and asked slowly: "Do they have any connection with Yan Shenggong? Are they from the Jinshi family? Have they ever had Juren in their family?"
Huo Chongyi was shocked. He felt that Xu Youlin's words were simply enlightened, and many things that he had not figured out suddenly became clear.
In the 21st century, as long as you have money and ideas, you can do a lot of things directly. Whether you have a background or not will have a huge impact. This impact is reflected in how big you can do things and how big the wind and waves can be withstood.
But in the Qing Dynasty, whether there is a background, which is what Xu Youlin said, has decided to do anything and not think about anything.
"Senior Brother, I'm done." Junior Brother Liu Shiwang shouted.
Huo Chong stood up and went to the edge of the tank and tasted it a little. He felt that it seemed to be a little sour. According to his previous feeling, Huo Chong directly added several times quicklime and asked his junior brother to continue stirring.
Outside the wall, the ridicule of Mr. Zhu and his group came from the wall, "Hey! This smell is sour! Even if you can't learn to steal, you won't be embarrassed!" "If it were me, I would be so embarrassed! I'll just find a rope and hang myself to death!"
These words came to Huo Chong's ears, and Huo Chong had no response at all. He went to the other two tanks of wine and threw lime into it, so that the two workers could stir.
Huo Chong then walked slowly, realizing the direction pointed out by Xu Youlin. The more he thought about it, the more he became, the more he felt that he grasped the essence of the era in 1717.
I don’t know how long I thought about it, but Xu Youlin walked to Huo Chong, “Does Brother Huo remember these people’s feet?”
Huo Chong didn't want to deceive his partner and replied with ease: "I'm not a local, I don't know what outsiders have."
Xu Youlin looked up and down at Huo Chong for a moment, and said in a voice that was not surprised: "That's true, Brother Huo... doesn't look like people from this place." After saying that, Xu Youlin sighed a little, "If it weren't for your senior brother, but for Brother Huo, things would definitely not have changed like this."
Huo Chong also felt a little moved and sighed: "Brother Xu, you don't know some things, and you can't imagine them."
"Let me tell me." Xu Youlin became even more interested.
Huo Chong no longer hides his experience and tells Xu Youlin in Jiangsu and Zhejiang dialect. Of course, he won’t talk about time travel, but after being rescued by Uncle Liu, he was arranged by Uncle Liu, and Huo Chong told Xu Youlin all the things that followed.
Xu Youlin's face became stranger the more he heard it. He seemed surprised, and he seemed to be self-deprecating. He couldn't help but interrupt Huo Chong and asked for some details. After obtaining Huo Chong's verification, he couldn't help but mutter, "So that's it."
This process took less than a month in total, and Huo Chong made the matter clear without long. After listening to the complete process, Xu Youlin focused his head, but suddenly remembered something and asked: "Brother Huo, you know such an expert, why would you be willing to suffer here?"
"That master did not accept me as his apprentice. He just told me that I would encounter some changes in my life. I asked me to be at peace with the situation. When I came from the east, I fainted unexpectedly and was saved by my master Uncle Liu. I think this is probably what the master said. Since it comes, I will be at peace. If I don't accept my fate, it will anger God's will. God knows that something even worse will happen next time."
After saying that, Huo Chong added with a wry smile, "Haha, this time it's already so miserable. If you encounter other things, I'm afraid there's nothing else to do except die."
"I know! I know!" Xu Youlin nodded vigorously.
While he was talking, the three jars of wine added fresh lime had melted. Huo Chong tasted the taste again and could no longer feel the sourness.
This ordered people to introduce the wine that removes the sour smell into the wine steamer made by Huo Chong, and add fire to start distilling.
In addition to the copper tubes used for steaming wine, Huo Chong also made several spiral torque machines as torque thermometers to control the distillation temperature. The pipes of steaming wine were passed into the condensation jar soaked in cold water. Not long after, a slight sound of water droplets came from the jar.
The sound of water drops became clearer and clearer, and it was obvious that in the jar that was invisible to see, the distillation was more and more distilled liquid. The smell from the other end of the fractionation tube became richer.
I thought the alcohol tasted very strong, but I didn't expect that the alcohol in this taste was not strong, but it was a strong smell of various mixed flavors.
Smelling these scents, Huo Chong only felt that he was too lucky. Fractionation is not simple condensation. Fractionation requires the discharge of gas that cannot be condensed, so the structure is more complicated. Under the same raw materials, the condensation straight tube can collect more condensation liquid than the fractionation straight tube. If he had been smart before and used a simple condensation straight tube, God knows what would happen.
After a while, the sound of water in the pipe used for fractionation began to become faint again. Huo Chong did not dare to steam it desperately, so he removed the device. He opened the urn that collected the wine, and a strong smell of alcohol rushed out of it. Huo Chong had not stuck to the strong wine for a month, but the smell made him feel a little dizzy.
He used a clean small spoon to raise one or two wines, and Huo Chong tasted it, but there was no sour taste in the wine. With Huo Chong's feeling, the wine already had the feeling of being in the mouth of forty degrees.
I directly brought a burning branch from the stove sugar to the wine noodles. Although it was not as strong as pure alcohol, a small flame slowly ignited on the wine noodles, and then gradually spread around. After several seconds, light blue flames rose from the wine noodles in the small cup.
"This wine... is coming?" Xu Youlin murmured.
"Can you still call a strong wine without it?" Huo Chong smiled. However, before Huo Chong could show off, the flames on the wine were extinguished. It seemed that the alcohol content of this wine had not reached the high level of wine in the 21st century.
He took another spoonful and poured it into the wine bowl. Huo Chong entered the house with the wine cup. He saw Zhu Erniu sitting in the house in dismay, his eyes stagnant. He didn't know what he was thinking or was in a blank and dull state.
He clapped Zhu Erniu's shoulder hard, and Zhu Erniu was shocked and raised his head blankly. Huo Chong handed the wine cup to Zhu Erniu, "I drank this wine."
Zhu Erniu took the wine cup slowly, and poured it down with a muddy look, and then he became dull.
"I'm x!" Huo Chong was shocked by this guy's reaction. Even in the 21st century, it wouldn't work like this one or two. Is Zhu Erniu actually a rare constitution that has no reaction to alcohol? This constitution will not get drunk or feel uncomfortable if it is...
"Ah!!!" Zhu Erniu suddenly jumped up and covered his throat and howled.
Huo Chong finally felt relieved. It turned out that Zhu Erniu was a normal person.
"Uh...uh..." Perhaps because of the wounded throat by the strong alcohol, Zhu Erniu could no longer howl. He saw him covering his throat and jumping around, trying to recover from the strong stimulation as soon as possible.
After a long struggle, this guy recovered. He held the wine tank and started to breathe.
As soon as Huo Chong approached, he heard Zhu Erniu ask hard: "This... is this... what!"
"Wine. We brewed it. Haha." Huo Chong smiled.
As if he was about to echo Huo Chong, Xu Youlin outside also gasped. After a while, Xu Youlin rushed in and asked with difficulty: "What is this?"
Huo Chong finally put his heart back in his stomach. Although many things happened in the middle, at least this time the wine was done. He patted Xu Youlin on the shoulder, and Huo Chong replied: "Wine. This is our wine."
Xu Youlin covered his stomach, his face wrinkled into a bun, "I've never drunk such a strong wine."
"Everyone is packed with bottles. If there is nothing special, how can others agree?" Huo Chong sighed.
After saying that, he turned to Zhu Erniu again, "Do you think this wine is the same as that of Uncle Zhu's wine?"
"Can this taste be the same? Can this taste be the same?" Zhu Erniu, whose cheeks had already begun to turn red, shouted loudly: "Even if he drinks ten cups, he can't stand this cup! Uh..."
The wine head had already steamed, but Huo Chong didn't dare to be arrogant. "Brother Zhu, I heard that there is an old wine with great energy. I said that three bowls are not enough to stand."
"What old wine... well... is placed in the corner of the house." Zhu Erniu was a little drunk when he spoke.
Huo Chong felt that this was probably because Zhu Erniu had not eaten anything for a long time and was drinking on an empty stomach. He no longer cared about the goods that were swaying from side to side, and called Zhu Erniu's worker to search for it in the so-called corner of the house. There were a few small wine jars there, but there was no label. Huo Chong opened them one by one and tasted them, and immediately felt relieved.
Compared with each other, there is indeed a gap between these wines. Even the most powerful wines in it are like the difference between the rain in spring and the heavy rain in typhoon season. They are all rain, yes. That's all the similarities.
If Mr. Zhu is still a little bit more shameful, Huo Chong will be able to get through this time.
Just as he was thinking about what to say after he went out, Xu Youlin had recovered from his discomfort and walked to Huo Chong and said, "Brother Huo, I have to go out to do something. You don't have to wait for me to have a meal."
"Ah?" Huo Chong was confused by these slanderous words. Now, when is there any intention to keep Xu Youlin at the meal?
However, Xu Youlin actually went straight out and didn't know where he was going.
Chapter completed!
