Chapter 367 Insider
When the sun in the west reluctantly approached the mountain and emitted the last little light and heat, the village in the middle of the mountain slowly calmed down, sweeping away the noise and excitement of the day...
The birds returning late were chirping and greeting each other, happily sharing their daytime experiences with their companions. A huge owl quietly drifted over the sky and fell on a branch.
Unexpectedly, as soon as it stood firm, before it could take a breath, countless birds of all sizes flew out from all directions, and rushed over as if they had seen their father-killing enemies.
This scene was so scared that it flapped its wings and wanted to escape. Unfortunately, there were several sparrow hawks in the flock of birds that were flexible and fast. When it was about to fly to the village to avoid it, it stopped in front of him.
After a wave of feathers flying all over the sky, as they became farther and farther away, they gradually became inaudible screams, and the tranquility here returned to its former tranquility.
Apart from the feathers that were still flying in the air, there was no sign of a scene where a big battle had just happened. The birds also suddenly dispersed again as if they suddenly appeared.
At this time, Wang Yong, who was sleeping in the room, suddenly opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed like stars in his eyes, and then it flew away in a flash and returned to normal.
For owls, they are usually called night owls in the countryside. This thing has a bad omen, just like a crow, it is not popular.
There is an old saying that goes, "The night owl comes into the house and does not come if there is anything wrong." When the night owl comes, it is prepared to cause trouble.
Although many people may say that this is superstition, the villagers don’t care about superstition or not, and they still believe in the old sayings.
In the countryside, night owls are usually called death birds. Generally, if you have this bird near your home, it means that someone in your relatives may die.
This is not superstition, because many examples make everyone believe this. Night owls have supernatural powers. Sometimes they will really repay people with destruction.
In ancient Greek myths and legends, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, had a little owl, which is said to be able to predict the future. Therefore, the ancient Greeks respected the owl or night owl as a symbol of Athena and wisdom.
In addition, many places and countries believe that owls can suppress evil and represent happiness. For example, Indians have owls' totem dance and costumes.
In fact, owls are still very cute, especially little owls, who are cute and cute, and they are definitely female killers!
It looks like a tumbler, with two big eyes that are rolling around, and the small looks are so cute!
Of course, the above are all evidence that Wang Han found that owls are good birds that were found by Wang Han to prevent Wang Yong from harming the owls again. However, Wang Yong has always been very upset about this thing.
Because he promised that the girls would not hurt them, Wang Yong had always walked around or bombarded them when he saw them.
Now that is not the case, if you tell the matter to the lord, the two kings will naturally arrange for their subordinates to do it.
On the night when Wang Yong finished his instructions, a small army under the command of the archer lived in the woods near his house. Their mission was to drive the owls that had arrived here.
I don't touch them, but you can't let me stop the birds from fighting and grabbing territory, right?
"Wake up, come and see the fruit wine we made ourselves." Yuanyuan's voice suddenly rang in her ears. Wang Yong turned his head and looked at the dining table. His wife and Erya were staring at about a dozen large glass bottles of different colors.
The largest of these glass bottles is only about one and a half liters, and the smallest of them is more than half liters. They are filled with some mixture of flesh and juice.
The two of them not only stared at the glass bottle, but also took action from time to time, pressing the lid with one hand. Turning the glass bottle entirely, then slowly turning back to the bottom and the bottle mouth facing upwards.
Well, the one that is gray should be a banana. And the one that is bright red is a watermelon or a strawberry? Oh, that one is not a rose-scented grape, right? The cost is too high!
"I said you guys did it yourself?"
Wang pointed at the glass bottles on the table and said incredible. Is the brewing method of this fruit wine so popular now?
"Hmph. How about it? Isn't it good? We all did it by ourselves. Of course, my godmother also guided us a few words."
The wife said this last sentence very unconfidence.
Others don’t know that they still know their wife very well. The ability to do things cannot be said to be good. At most, they can only be said to be similar. The most important thing is that their wife loves cleanliness very much!
It is a bit serious to say that you have a cleanliness, but it is almost the same as it is. At least Wang Yong himself thinks so.
I have to wash my feet every day, and sometimes I have to force myself to take a shower. I have to change my clothes every day. I have to wash my face and brush my teeth in the morning and night, no matter how late.
Every day, I have to wipe it with a towel at home, just like what I did in cartoons when I was a child. I didn’t listen to it, and I could only do it like this.
There are many such examples, but others don’t think so. They always condemn Wang Yong to be too lazy to be clean.
How is it possible? Why don’t I love to clean myself? Do I have to take a bath twice a week?
"You are just messing around, what do you know? Let you see the wine I make and give you a lot of insight."
As he said that, Wang Yong got up and ran aside, picked up his big bottle of wine. No, he can't call it wine yet, it should be said that it is grape wine.
By adding pectinase, the broken grapes have begun to precipitate more juice and pigments, tannins and other substances in the grape skin, making it look much better in color than when it was just broken.
Wang Yong found a long-handled spoon, put it into the glass bottle and stirred it a few times. Then he poured the juice from the bottom to the top one by one.
In order to make these grape mash fully contact with oxygen so as to better complete fermentation, of course, it can also play a certain role in cooling.
Isn’t there an idiom called Yang Tang Shuo Boiling? That’s what it means.
After doing this for five or six minutes, Wang Yong stopped and carried the bottle to the table.
"I'm made of wild grapes, natural green and pollution-free, where can you compare to that."
"Tsk, what's so amazing? We're so sweet!"
"What's the use of sweetness? Do you think you want to drink juice? I'm a really high-end, atmospheric and high-end dry red!"
Wang Yong was still stubborn like a dead duck. Li Fei's next words surprised him. He thought to himself, yes, these two people are OK! He remembered a lot of things!
"Hmph, no wonder Brother Zhang and Sean said you were half a bottle of swaying. Listen well, only when the sugar content reaches a certain standard can you make wine that meets the requirements. Especially when making dry red, sugar content is more important."
"That's right, let's see, why we didn't make wine, it's because we didn't find good wine grapes, and the sugar level was not enough. So we had to make fruit wine!"
My wife Yuanyuan also said this, which made Wang Yong feel embarrassed.
"Then you won't add sugar to it! White sugar and glucose are fine. Just let it have enough sugar, it's so stupid!"
When Wang Yong, who could have thought of such a good idea, was so complacent that his wife, Li Fei, and even her godmother opened fire on him!
"You're fake!"
"That's wrong, it doesn't comply with the relevant national library regulations. It's illegal."
"Well, according to the definition of wine by the International Wine Organization, it must be fermented with 100% pure grapes or grape juice to be called wine. The new Chinese national standard has also recently made this regulation. So it is indeed illegal for you to do that."
Wang Yong suffered a great blow to his godmother's words. Unexpectedly, he finally heard a good method, which was illegal?
But when Zhang Wei told him, that's what he said? This bastard is, how can I deal with you? How dare I imprison me?
But Wang Yong immediately understood that this must be the so-called insider of the industry. If the glucose level is not enough, add sugar. People in the industry must know such a simple thing, and even do it all the time.
Different from abroad, most of the wineries in foreign countries have their own vineyards and grow them themselves.
In China, farmers plant and winery purchase. If farmers want to pursue profits, they must pursue yields.
Once the yield is high, the quality of grapes will inevitably decrease a lot, which is inevitable.
To give a simple example, in foreign countries, the yield per mu of wine vineyards should generally be controlled at about five or six hundred kilograms. If the year is good or the year is bad, it should be appropriately increased or decreased.
However, in China, if the grapes produced by a mu of land are less than 3,000 kilograms, it is a bit unprofitable.
Because over the past year, fertilizers, water and electricity bills, pesticides, and increasingly expensive labor costs, as well as the not-so-high selling price, although they may not lose money in the end, they will not make much money.
This is what farmers planted in small quantities themselves. If they contracted a large amount of land and hired people to plant it, in recent years, they should not make much money, and they might have to pay some money.
In this case, how can you get the quality of grapes? It is all about rushing to produce. People plant well, but one acre of land can produce more than 4,000 kilograms of grapes.
In terms of price acquisition, in terms of wineries, except for those particularly large state-owned enterprises that stipulate the corresponding price when signing contracts with farmers, when they stipulate the level of the price they reach, other small wineries are priced at the same price.
No matter how good your grapes are, it is not as good as knowing the person who is responsible for quality inspection when collecting grapes in the winery. His words may make you less weight in a few boxes of grapes, which is quite useful.
"Okay, I won't make dry red! I'm making wine. How many degrees can alcohol be produced by then? It's three or four degrees, and it's probably okay if it's five or six degrees. I haven't thought about it before seven or eight degrees."
Wang Yong's heart moved and immediately came up with this idea. Do you have anything else to say this time? Fighting with me is far from it! You'd better go back and practice for a few years!
"Well, that's true. I'm drinking it at home anyway, and I don't make much. I guess I'll drink it all in one meal. I don't have to worry about the low alcohol level and it's difficult to preserve it."
"By the way, godmother, you won't keep making this thing until now, are you?"
Wang Yong asked in a low voice.
"Oh, it's not that much. I'm so busy that I forgot to cook."
After saying that, my godmother hurriedly stood up and walked towards the kitchen. (To be continued...)
