Chapter 52 Maotai-flavor liquor?

"Since the young master said that, the little old man will inevitably show his true skills. There is only one thing: Sifang Well is sealed. If the Sifang Spring Water cannot be obtained, the little old man's wine will be limited to the average wine, so this matter may need to be opened after the Sifang Well is open..."

"Haha, there is no need. I had already considered this issue before I came, so I brought dozens of kilograms of spring water into the water bag in advance, which should be enough for you to brew a jar or two first?" Ma Mingfeng laughed and pointed to the water bag that was removed from the horse's back in the yard and said.

When Wang Shouye heard this, he immediately said, "Although the water in the water bag is not as good as living water, it is not long and the problem is not big. The old man has thought about it and thinks there should be no problem. But now all the guys have been smashed by me. Now I have to re-built the guy and then find a way to brew the wine. In order to avoid the water in the Sifangjing well being stored for too long and weaken the effect of the wine. At the same time, in order to save time, the old man first brewed a pot of bran gu Qingxiang wine for the young master, which only takes four to five days to complete."

Ma Mingfeng calculated the day and thought that this time was acceptable, so he nodded immediately and agreed: "Then let's do it like this. The market has not yet ended. Let's go to the market to buy wine immediately. Maybe the work will start today."

Wang Shouye also thought it was feasible. In fact, although he hated brewing before, it was also a normal reaction from a fear of the past. In his heart, he deeply loved this industry. Now he suddenly burst out with motivation and enthusiasm suddenly came up. He still felt excited when he thought about it.

So Ma Mingfeng immediately instructed Chunwang and two young servants Changsheng to go out to buy wine brewing. Soon after, everything was already ready. Wang Shouye immediately started the brewing process. Because this was Chunwang's first experience, Wang Shouye didn't know how long he could live, so he taught Chunwang's brewing skills step by step, and even had no reservations about Ma Mingfeng, because Wang Shouye knew that a noble person like Ma Mingfeng could not do such a job himself even if he learned the brewing skills. Moreover, this was his own noble person. Without Ma Mingfeng, he would not have had such an opportunity.

Unexpectedly, Chunwang was quick to get started. Wang Shouye only said it once and he could learn to do it in a good manner.

It was getting dark soon, so Ma Mingfeng naturally couldn't choose to stay here overnight. He asked Chunwang to stay and help the old man make wine, and he took Changsheng and his old servant Ma Hua back to Gu Congxin's mansion.

After arriving at Gu's mansion, Ma Mingfeng made up a day's itinerary, then accompanied his third aunt and third uncle to have supper, practiced martial arts in the yard, and then fell asleep.

In the next few days, Ma Mingfeng went to Wang Shouye to see him brewing wine. On the one hand, he learned the basic process of brewing wine, and on the other hand, he was also looking at whether Wang Shouye was really capable.

As a result, Ma Mingfeng found that Wang Shouye's brewing skills were indeed very clever. No matter what he did, he had strict rules, such as temperature control. In fact, there was no temperature monitoring facility at that time, and it was entirely based on human feelings and experience. However, Wang Shouye's control of temperature was very accurate, which made Ma Mingfeng feel that even if he had a thermometer to measure, there would be almost no gap.

Wang Shouye introduced the precautions to Chunwang in detail. Many of them are unimaginable to people who have not experienced it. Ma Mingfeng knew that these are all valuable experience summary. These are the most valuable things in the brewing process, and are things that the brewing masters have no secrets.

However, Wang Shouye told Ma Mingfeng without reservation, which was enough to show his gratitude and trust in Ma Mingfeng.

By the fifth day, the last procedure left in the brewing process: distillation.

I have to say that Wang Shouye's skills are indeed amazing, with very tight seals and no wine run.

When the wine was released and stored, I opened the lid and smelled a strong aroma of wine. After taking a sip, Ma Mingfeng felt that the wine was soft and sweet, and the aroma was clear. It was definitely an authentic fragrant wine.

It was not until this time that Ma Mingfeng completely convinced Wang Shouye's brewing technology and immediately decided to invest 200 taels of silver to expand the factory for Wang Shouye, hired workers, bought guys, and purchased raw materials.

"This, this, the young master is so kind, it is really hard for the old man to repay him." Wang Shouye was grateful to Ma Mingfeng, not knowing what to say, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "If the young master did not support him all the way, the young man would still sit and sigh in the thatched hut. All this is thanks to the young master. Therefore, if the young master does not dislike him, 80% of the profits made by the young master in the future will belong to the young master. If the young master looks down on this dividend, the young man will be willing to repay three times the funds in the future. Today's 200 taels plus the silver spent in the first few days, a total of 800 taels of silver will be returned."

But Ma Mingfeng smiled and said, "Since I am willing to invest, I will naturally make long-term plans for the elderly. In other words, I am very optimistic about your winemaking workshop. Well, it will be a winery in the future. So unless I am stupid, I will only spend 800 taels of silver. In this way, I can also take advantage of the elderly so much. I know that we must hand over the profits from the future to the government. According to my calculations, it should be at least 20%. This is still the case with someone behind us.

Let’s count it at 20%. If it’s 28% share, you may only get 10% profit at most, which is unfair to you. So I decided to share 30% share 30% share, 70% share 30% each, and then each produces 10% share as taxes. The main thing is to use 20% profit to deal with the government’s exploitation. If 20% is not enough, the excess will be paid from me. The reason why I get more profits is that all kinds of investments in our winery will be paid from me in the future. You just need to pay dividends on the ground."

"This, how can this be like this? The young master treats us so favorably," Wang Shouye's face turned red with excitement, and said to Ma Mingfeng: "But our two men are not ignorant of advancing and retreating, how can we do this? So why not do this? I will take more points. I will divide it into 25% and you will divide it into 75% of your master. This kind of share cannot be less. If it is less, we are sorry for the kindness of the young master, which is simply worse than a pig or a dog!"

However, Ma Mingfeng still did not agree and said to Wang Shouye: "One of my shopkeepers said that the most important thing for doing business is to be fair, especially for the people they use. Otherwise, although I was excited to offer a condition that would make me take advantage of it, once I reflect on it in the future, I will feel unfair to it. In this way, we will be disloyal and unfair, so it is better to be fair from the beginning, so no one will suffer any losses, and the business will last for a long time. So you should follow me and do what I said. Of course, I am talking about these brewing technologies that the old man has mastered now. If new technologies are developed, whoever takes the dominant position in the process of research on new technologies will have two more points of profit."

"New technology?" Wang Shouye thought silently about Ma Mingfeng's words, and then said softly: "The winemaking technology mastered by the old man includes light fragrance, strong fragrance, rice fragrance, and medicinal fragrance. It seems that apart from these, I have never seen other types of white wine."

"Oh? This may not be true. As far as I know, the ancients once had a sauce-flavored liquor, but because of the age and the technology has been lost, I accidentally got some incomplete secrets. I wonder if the old man is interested in researching it?"

"Sauce, sauce-flavored?" Wang Shouye was stunned when he heard this. To be honest, he had never heard of such a type of liquor for decades.
