The group gods who retired to fish in Genshin Impact

"That's another price."

Diluc said lightly what a qualified capitalist would say.

However, the brewing of Mond wine does have a lot to do with the processing of raw materials in the brewing process.

It is even one of the important factors that affects the pricing of the final finished wine.

The making of Mond wines in general, and wines from Château de la Morte in particular.

In the brewing process, the following steps usually go through:

These steps have nothing to do with the winemaking process, but they are essential steps before starting winemaking at Chenxi Winery.

After a series of complex steps such as exploration, planting, tending, grading, care, picking, testing, sorting, selection, distribution, selection, etc., winemaking begins.

And these complicated steps are not used to make things difficult for others or to promote things, but are a tradition that Chenxi Winery has always had.

First of all, exploration refers to the investigation of the water quality of a piece of land used to select an area for growing winemaking raw materials.

Only fertile land and high-quality spring water can grow high-quality winemaking raw materials. This is a tradition that Chenxi Winery has always adhered to.

At the same time, every piece of land selected by Chenxi Winery as a raw material for growing wine will also be protected and cared for by Chenxi Winery.

In this way, the land can exert its fertile value in the longer term.

Although the exploration step is the most critical beginning, it does not always exist.

Only during the initial period when the Legenfund family gradually transformed from an old aristocracy to a new aristocracy based on their winemaking skills, they hired many people to explore for fertile land and high-quality water sources suitable for planting in the surrounding areas of Mondstadt.

Then I found the place where Chenxi Winery is now established.

Then during the development of Chenxi Winery, due to its growing scale, there were several subsequent explorations.

Responsible for continuing to look for areas outside Chenxi Winery where fertile land and high-quality water sources coexist, in order to expand the planting area and increase wine production.

At present, the most recent exploration was conducted when Diluc had not yet joined the Knights of the West Wind.

Now based on the scale of Chenxi Winery, which is equivalent to saturation, if he does not continue to explore foreign markets, at least Diluc can be sure that he will not continue exploration before he is 50 years old.

Because the larger the planting area, the more manpower is needed, and the more manpower there is, the more uncontrollable it is. Therefore, even the maids are Chenxi Winery, which has been passed down from generation to generation. At the current stage, there is no need to expand the scale and manpower to provide for itself. Add some unstable factors.

In particular, Diluc himself is currently relatively inaccessible to people and light according to the laws of various countries.

If he is discovered and gets into some trouble, it will not be good news for Diluc, the Knights of the West Wind and Mondstadt.

Then the next few steps can basically be understood as growing vegetables or ordinary farmers taking care of some of the crops, fruits, etc. they grow.

First, carefully prepared high-quality fruit seeds are planted into the land, and then carefully taken care of.

After the seeds germinate, break through the soil, and grow new seedlings, and after the new seedlings grow for a while, specialized personnel will go to various planting areas of Chenxi Winery to check the growth status of these new seedlings.

The new seedlings are then divided into different grades based on their overall quality to roughly determine which new seedlings are likely to produce high-quality fruit in the future.

Then there are these planting areas where professional personnel live every day. Take care of these new seedlings, guide them to grow, and wait until the fruits are ripe before picking them.

According to the seedling levels divided at the new seedling stage, the fruits of different seedlings are picked and stacked in different areas.

Then the fruits in each area are screened more carefully. Among them, ordinary fruits with outstanding excellent seedlings are divided into ordinary areas, and those excellent fruits produced by ordinary seedlings are divided into excellent areas.

After this step of classification is completed, more detailed screening is carried out. This round of screening mainly focuses on high-quality fruits and above.

Among high-quality fruits, fruits with good taste and sweetness are classified into the best category.

Then, after the pulp and juice of these fine fruits and top-quality fruits are pressed out and brewed into wine, these seeds will be sent to specific areas for planting again.

This is to preserve the annual output of fine fruits and top-quality fruits.

Although it is just a stupid method, I have to say that relying on this stupid method, Chenxi Winery has accumulated a grove of top-quality fruit over the years.

The fruits grown in that area are all large, sweet, and juicy.

Although some possibilities are not ruled out, such as that the ground is full of corpses.

After these fruits have been divided into levels and the high-quality fruits and top-quality fruits have been distributed, the next step is to select people.

According to the tradition of Mondstadt, it is also the brewing method that Chenxi Winery has adhered to for many years.

First, maids aged 18 and under are selected from the internal staff of Dawn Winery.

The requirements are that the skin is fair and beautiful, and the appearance is cute. At the same time, the body must not have any diseases, spots that affect the appearance, or some parts that are not perfect.

At the same time, they should not have calluses on their hands and feet.

Although this is a very demanding requirement for maids who work all year round, in Chenxi Winery, the maids do not actually have to do much work, because there are so many people and Diluc himself is not a lot to do. noble.

The maids at Morningside Winery only need to be responsible for cleaning and washing clothes every day, and then do whatever they need to do when they have nothing to do. They can also go back to their rooms to rest. When something happens, they just have to obey Adeline or Diluc's request.

The overall work intensity is not high, so their hands rarely have thick calluses, and at most there is only a thin layer.

After selecting these girls, Chenxi Winery will announce the recruitment.

A group of young and beautiful girls were selected according to the same strict requirements.

Then, according to each girl's image and personal physical condition, they are divided into different areas to trample different levels of brewing raw materials.

The more perfect girls are assigned to higher-level areas.

For example, the area where top-quality fruits are piled up can basically only recruit one or two girls every year.

Occasionally, if luck comes, there may be three or four, but compared to the top-quality fruit that Chenxi Winery can produce every year, these people are still far from enough.

After enough girls have been selected, the next step is to start the brewing stage. The girls will crush all the cooking wine raw materials they are responsible for, and mix the pulp, juice, and core together.

After they are almost stamped, they are poured into huge wine barrels, and professional workers screen them. The cores and magazines are filtered out, and the pulp and juice are left in the barrel, and the wine yeast brewed by the girls' stamping is added.

Next comes the normal brewing phase.

I won’t go into this part, but let’s talk about the previous preparation process before brewing and why it will determine the price of the subsequent wine.

First of all, this may start from the bad habits of an old noble.

Hey, we are still talking about the old aristocratic period of Mondstadt. In that dark age, the nobles could come up with any tricks for fun, including the beauty wine method.

Basically, the nobles themselves selected beautiful girls, and then asked those girls to step on the fruits, mix the fruit juice and fruit oil, pour them into wine barrels, and then brew them into wine.

The more beautiful the girl who tramples the fruit is, the better the wine will be, and the higher the value of the bottle of wine and the girl.

Whether the nobles are trying to save face or trading with other nobles, they are a good resource.

And there are some darker stories among them.

Some nobles believed that girls contained a strange essence that other people and other age groups did not possess.

As long as they can consume this essence, they can delay aging and strengthen their body.

So this group of quite perverted nobles made those girls trample all the fruits that were used to brew the wine.

Have people escort these girls down, then put them into huge stone mills or simply chop them into pieces, collect their flesh and blood, and mix them into wine barrels to brew a unique blood fruit wine.

This part of the old aristocracy believed that as long as they drank the blood fruit wine brewed from the girl's flesh and fruit, they would be able to absorb the life essence of the girl's body, thereby delaying aging and strengthening the body.

The value of this kind of blood fruit wine among this part of the old aristocracy is determined by the girl's age and her overall appearance and temperament.

Even the Lawrence family didn't want to deal with this group of nobles.

Although the Lawrence family did all kinds of evil, killing, arson, burning, looting, raping women, and promiscuous wives were all commonplace.

All kinds of fancy torture and all kinds of cruel torture and killing are also their games.

But they really refuse to break people into pieces and mix them with wine and drink them into their stomachs. They don't like it to the extent of cannibalism.

Later, as the old aristocracy was overthrown, this tradition of people trampling on fruit wine should have been abandoned with the fall of the old aristocracy.

But how to put it, this thing can be preserved, and it can also be described with one word. Of course, this word is definitely not accurate, but the meaning is this. This sentence is called Xiao He who succeeds, and Xiao He who fails.

The one I am currently using is definitely not accurate, but the meaning is roughly this.

This tradition of beautiful girls stepping on the raw materials for making wine to determine the value of the wine has been preserved from the old aristocratic period because of these girls who stepped on the wine.

This matter is also a story to tell, and it will definitely not be finished in this chapter, so we will talk about it in the next chapter.
