At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner
Chapter 27 Beer
The first step is naturally to disinfect these tools with boiling water, and then add boiling water. Qiu Yingying and the women of Huyue Village boiled water to wash the pots. In this tea garden, Yu Yunxin took the spring water in the middle directly from the spring on the top of the mountain, and made a diabolo to divert water to the tea garden. A filter was also added at the final water outlet. It was made of clean gravel and gauze. This makes the beer water cleaner and the taste of the beer more unique.
Next, put the grains in. Wheat, corn, and rice are soaked in the gauze bag and put into the boiling water at 70 degrees. The temperature must be kept at 70 degrees. The temperature is adjusted by the special stove. After a while, stir with the iron spoon on the pot cover to prevent the grain bag from burning.
In order to prevent her secret recipe from being leaked, Yu Yunxin, who was operating inside, divided the people into four groups. The first group was the villagers from Huashan Village. They were asked to soak the wheat and then someone would be responsible for harvesting it after it sprouted.
The second group was the women of Huyue Village who made malt juice. The third group put the cleaned malt juice water into the big pot and started to boil. Finally, they put in the hemp snake flower and started to boil it on low heat and wait for fermentation. Yu Yunxin made a pot first for fear of failure.
A day later, five or six people in the wine room gathered around the iron pot, looking at it and smelling the aroma. "Miss, can we start the pot now?" Qiu Yingying asked, smelling the aroma of wine.
Uncle Liu was also a drunkard. He smelled the aroma of wheat and asked, "Is this ready, girl? Can we eat it now?"
"Let's open the pot first!" Yu Yunxin looked at the residual heat in the pot and started to do it herself. After the pot was opened, waves of beer aroma wafted over.
Yu Yunxin was the first to see the white foam begin to overflow and immediately closed the lid again. She said, "You should be careful when opening the lid. I think we should wait for it to cool down before adding more wine. Be gentle."
So Qiu Yingying picked out a few female relatives who were usually diligent in their work and put the beer in the iron pot into white porcelain bottles. These white porcelain bottles were specially made by Yu Yunxin and were similar to modern beer bottles.
Even the bottle caps were covered with bamboo stoppers and kraft paper. This kraft paper was used by ancient people to paste window paper to prevent water, wind and air leakage. It was wrapped on the outside, and finally tied tightly with hemp rope. There were not many bottles in total. She asked people to put them in well water to cool them down. Then Yu Yunxin started to choose a few trustworthy people to continue brewing. Qiu Yingying knew some skills, so Yu Yunxin gave her the stirring work.
Liu Bo brought two bottles back to Shulin in Nanling County, wanting to taste this delicacy with Yu Linshan.
"Don't worry, Miss. I have learned everything. You can leave it to me from now on." Qiu Yingying said as she picked up a special pot.
Yu Yunxin looked at him and smiled, "Sister Qiu, you are a smart person. My father told you to work here and you will be paid."
"It's not right for us to get paid when we are guilty!" Qiu Yingying replied.
Yu Yunxin smiled and clapped her hands, saying, "Don't worry, you guys should take what you deserve."
The next day, Yang Yunsheng heard that the beer was ready, so he brought some homemade ice cubes and placed the beer in the well directly into the ice cubes.
"Miss Yu, you really made this beer." Yang Yunsheng opened a bottle of beer and poured it into the teacup. When he saw the foam coming out, he asked, "Is this poisonous..."
"There's no poison in this, it's the white foam produced by fermentation." Yu Yunxin said directly, took the bowl from Yang Yunsheng's hand and drank it all in one gulp. Half of the bowl of beer was white foam so Yu Yunxin didn't have to put in much effort to finish the teacup-sized bowl.
Yu Yunxin looked at the teacup and said, "Looks like we need to make some beer mugs too."
Yang Yun watched Yu Yunxin finish a glass of beer, then picked up another glass and poured himself a glass. He felt nothing after drinking one glass, then drank two glasses in a row and said, "Not bad, refreshing and delicious, and it also relieved a lot of heat from my body."
Yu Yunxin looked at it and smiled, "What do you think, Boss Yang? Why don't you take these beers to Jiangnan to sell first? You can also build a beer workshop in Jiangnan, but you have to pay me for the secret recipe and you can't sell it to others."
"What you said is true." Yang Yunsheng said excitedly.
Yu Yunxin nodded: "That's right, I want to make a lot of money with such good beer. You know the situation in Nanling County in recent years. The people don't even have food to eat. I believe that there are not many people in Nanling County who buy this beer. This beer can only be sold at a high price in the richest places."
"You are right. What should we name this beer?" Yang Yunsheng asked.
"Wangshan Beer, what do you think?" Yu Yunxin asked.
"That's right, but what about this beer bottle? And are the beer cups you mentioned also produced here?" Yang Yunsheng asked.
"No need for that. You can recycle beer bottles in Jiangnan. For example, you can exchange five empty bottles for one bottle of beer, or buy two bottles and get a beer glass for free." Yu Yunxin said, "I think you should know that there is white clay in Shanghe Village. The white clay there can be used to make white porcelain. Don't worry, I will make this wine glass."
"Miss Yu, how about I take these wines to Jiangnan to buy some first?" Yang Yunsheng asked.
Yu Yunxin asked, "Boss Yang, do you have no money left? Do you want to get something for nothing from me?"
"Get something for nothing?" Yang Yunsheng smiled. He didn't understand what it meant at first, but later he understood and said, "Indeed, didn't you set up a night market town some time ago? I bought a few towns close to the city and the official road. Some places took me less than two days to renovate, but some places had to be renovated in a similar way to your Huyue Village. I used all the money to buy the official road towns."
"Boss Yang, I understand." Yu Yunxin smiled playfully and said, "Then you can go buy it first. We'll split it 50-50. After all, all the materials are yours. I've provided the space, manpower, and formula."
"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for a beer workshop in Jiangnan first. When I find it, don't forget to give me the secret recipe of Wangshan Beer!" Yang Yunsheng was very satisfied and smiled after hearing the answer.
"Okay, I'll ask some strong men outside to move the goods for you. And be careful when transporting these bottles and cans." After Yu Yunxin finished speaking, she walked out of the winery and greeted a few strong men who were building houses in the tea garden. There were two hundred people left here, basically all of them were soldiers left by Lin Gongmo. With these people, the entire tea garden was renovated quickly. It didn't take much effort for them to load the two trucks of beer into boxes. Each bottle in the box was separated by a wooden box, and some discarded scraps of cloth and straw were added to cover it, so that it would not be easily broken by collision.
After Yang Yunsheng left, she became busy again. She received letters from the prince and her second uncle, all of which praised her ducks and praised the pest control in Quanzhou and Yuzhou. She also encouraged the villagers in Quanzhou and Yuzhou to raise ducks.
She read the two letters and walked out of the beer workshop, and came to the tea garden to take a look. Yang Yunsheng was really amazing. He gave her all the chickens and ducks she wanted. This time, although there were some different breeds of ducks, there were even thousands of white geese. She drove the ducks to the fields for the villagers, and also drove the ducks to eat rice worms throughout Nanling County. She trimmed the tea garden and thought that she could plant some tea trees at this time, so that the space for raising tea garden chickens could be expanded.
She also raised more than a thousand white, black and yellow cattle on the land she bought in Huashan Village and Chenjia Village. She also raised a thousand sheep and rabbits on the wasteland on the other side. These sheep and rabbits are not only edible, but their wool can also be used to make various woolen materials, especially the puppets that Chunyu is making now.
It would be even better if wool and rabbit hair could be woven into cloth, but unfortunately there is no sophisticated spinning wheel now. Yang Yunsheng should be asked to solve the problem of spinning wheel, after all, Jiangnan in Dacheng Kingdom is a major textile province.
"Miss, look at these plush toys. I made them with rabbit fur, including a little rabbit and a little duck. I even dyed the fur the same color as the little duck!" Chunyu said as she walked over holding the plush toys she had sewn.
Yu Yunxin took a look at the handicraft and found it was similar to modern ones, so she said, "Chun Yu did a good job. If you have extra raw materials, you can give them to others to make. You can make some samples, but don't work too hard."
"Miss, it's not hard for me. These are much simpler than embroidery. Only the eyes were embroidered by me with black and white threads." Chunyu said, pointing at the rabbit's eyes.
Yu Yunxin looked at it and smiled, "Chunyu, didn't you look at the rabbit carefully? Their eyes are red."
"Ah! I didn't look at the rabbit's eyes carefully. I just know that rabbit meat is delicious." Chunyu said blushing.
When Qiu Shuang heard this, she teased, "No wonder Chunyu, you've gained weight in the past few days, didn't you know?" After that, the two of them started playing around.
Yu Yunxin looked at the two people playing and shook her head and said, "Chunyu, next time you can just embroider two small red eyeballs in the rabbit's eyes. I've also started raising some rabbits here, so there will be no shortage of rabbit fur next time. You can provide a few samples of these jobs, and the rest can be given to women nearby or in the county, and you can just pay them accordingly."
"Yes, miss, how do you plan to buy these?" Chunyu asked.
"Of course we'll sell them when the weather gets cold. There's no rush now. And Chunyu, don't be too tired. I'll draw some dolls for you later, including kittens, puppies, red pandas, and various other small animals." Yu Yunxin said.
"Okay, leave these to me." Chunyu replied immediately upon hearing this.
"Let's go to Shanghe Village to take a look at the white clay. I also need to make several styles of porcelain cups for you." Yu Yunxin said and got on the carriage and came to Shanghe Village, not far from the county town.
There are the most workers digging the canal here because the canal was diverted a few days ago, so the county magistrate Yu Tinghai sent more people.
When they arrived at the White Earth Mountain in Shanghe Village, a white porcelain kiln was built next to it, and a large porcelain kiln was being built in another direction. Yu Yunxin came to the completed porcelain kiln and asked Qiu Shuang to bring some white clay. She then began to make cups, which were larger than ordinary teacups.
She didn't know how to do these things, but she had to look at some things carefully. After looking, she would be able to do them. After several failures, she finally made a cup with a handle, which was similar to the modern white porcelain tea cup. She also made a Wangshan Beer mark on the bottle. In the past ten days, Yu Yunxin was basically designing cups at the porcelain kiln, and also made some white porcelain lotus incense burners, various teapots, and even several figures. She made them according to the shapes of spring rain and autumn frost, and they looked really good after being painted. The figures were made of a mixture of white clay and glutinous rice, which was very plastic and light. They only needed to be baked in the porcelain kiln for a while.
"Miss, is this us? They are so pretty, miss. You have such a skillful hands." Chunyu looked at the girl who looked exactly like her, even the flowers on her clothes were not spared. She could be said to be a replica of both of them.
Qiu Shuang also picked up her own figurine and exclaimed: "It's so lifelike. Miss, why don't you make one for yourself? Miss, you are so beautiful and look like a fairy, why don't you make one for yourself?"
"Okay, it took me several days to make it for you two! How are the tea garden and Huyue Village going?" Yu Yunxin asked.
"The house and fence over at the tea garden have been completed. I have arranged for the workers to go to Huyue Village." Chunyu said while holding her figurine, "Yang Yunsheng has never been here. He sent his subordinate, Jin Chen, to get beer three times, but he didn't give us the money."
"There's no rush for the money. Also, take the beer glasses and bottles made in the past few days to the beer workshop." Yu Yunxin said, pointing to the beer bottles and glasses packed in boxes.
"Miss, this wine bottle is really beautiful. There are mountains and water on the Wangshan beer bottle, and the seal characters and small regular script are also well written. How long does it take to make so many wine bottles with these patterns and words?" Qiu Shuang opened a box and asked while looking at the porcelain inside.
Yu Yunxin smiled and said, "Only one was made. These were copied from a mold. Who would be stupid enough to draw and engrave on each bottle?"
"Qiushuang, you don't understand this. Our young lady is so smart, not as stupid as you. The same words and the same patterns can be completed with just one wood carving." Chunyu looked at Qiushuang and said.
Yu Yunxin was speechless about the fight between the two maids and didn't say anything. She asked the porcelain kiln workers to move the beer bottles and cups that had been made in the past few days onto the ox cart. The ox cart moved slowly and was not easy to break.
The rice ears in the rice fields along the way were drooping. Yu Yunxin even stopped to take a look at the rice ears. The rice ears here were not as numerous as the modern hybrid rice ears. There were sparse rice grains on the rice ears, and they could be harvested in a few days.
An old farmer saw Yu Yunxin staring at the rice field in a daze and asked, "Miss, this rice harvest is already very good this year. In previous years, a lot of rice was eaten by rice worms. The key is the lack of rain! Fortunately, you, the county magistrate, discovered the water diversion and canal diversion. I'm afraid that the rice fields in the entire Wangshan County will die this year."
"No, old man. Look at the rice. The weather is still so hot. Have you ever thought about letting the rice grow another crop?" Yu Yunxin expressed her thoughts.
The old farmer shook his head and said, "It's impossible that the rice will grow again if we don't plant rice after harvesting it. I have been planting crops for forty years. You can't do what I say. You ladies who have never planted crops should not think about it."
"What are you talking about, old farmer? Our lady is..." Qiu Shuang got out of the car and wanted to say something about the old farmer in front of her, but was stopped by Yu Yunxin.
"Miss, why don't you tell him that you are the county magistrate's son?" Qiu Shuang asked after Yu Yunxin got on the carriage.
"Let's go to the beer workshop in the tea garden first." Yu Yunxin asked the driver to continue driving.
The old farmer beside the rice field watched Yu Yunxin's carriage go away and smiled, "This young lady in the boudoir loves to look at the rice, but a girl in the boudoir is a girl in the boudoir and has never even been to the fields. She really thinks that rice is a flower and can grow again after being picked." After saying that, he walked barefoot into the rice field to weed the rice field, and the weeding was done by hand.
Unexpectedly, Yang Yunsheng's carriage and I entered the beer factory one after another.
When Yang Yunsheng saw that it was Yu Yunxin's carriage, he immediately came forward and said, "Miss Yu, I have been in the Jiangnan area these days and have not stopped. I have something to discuss with you."
Yu Yunxin took Yang Yunsheng into a small building next to the workshop and asked, "Boss Yang, what's going on?"
