Inside the wine cellar of the Simple Winery.
Wu Jun was holding a porcelain bowl in his hand.
Inside the bowl was a bright yellow, translucent liquid that was about the same colour as honey.
The hut that Xu Shuzai had taken him to visit in the beginning was the place where the super rice was distilled after completing the fermentation process.
Even though all the finished alcohol had been transferred to the cellar, the intoxicating aroma of alcohol still lingered in that distillation room.
“General Manager Wu, quickly taste how it tastes, this wine will definitely not let you down.”Xu Shuzai urged a sentence from the side with an excited face.
Old Xu’s family had been brewing wine for several generations, and when he was seven or eight years old, he had followed his father and grandfather around, feeling that turning grain into wine was incomparably magical.
When he was a child, he learnt from experience, and when he grew up, he joined the industry and worked for a long time.
Although brewing did not make Xu Shuzai rich and famous, but also his livelihood skills, this line also has a deep affection.
Alcohol blending to save time and effort, objective profits, and gradually become the mainstream, pure grain brewing more and more declining, the family brewery has been passed down for three generations, to his own generation, also failed to brew what has the characteristics of a good wine.
In order to support the family, Xu Shuzai can only bow to life, with the cheapest materials, to brew the most inferior wine, in exchange for a meagre income.
At this moment, for a rural winemaker to be able to make wine of such good quality in his lifetime was an infinite honour for Xu Shuzai.
This is just like those ancient times, those who year after year to catch the examination year after year to fail the poor scholar, suddenly one day high school scholar.
When Wu Jun explained to him, super rice brewing this matter do not tell anyone, low-key.
The wine brewed out, and the quality is also particularly good, but can not be for outsiders, can be Syushu material suffocated.
On the way back from Wu Jun’s car, Xu Shuzai finally found someone to share his joy, three words without leaving the wine, a sea of boasts.
This kind of joy, Xu Shuzai anxious to share out.
“Uncle Xu you’ve worked hard for a while, then I’ll taste Uncle Xu’s handiwork.”Wu Jun said with a smile, his arm slightly raised, his lips close to the rim of the bowl, and took a small sip of the wine made from super rice.
As the wine entered his throat, the expression on Wu Jun’s face became so wonderful that he almost lost control of his eyes.
This wine, it was too good!
The honey fragrance is elegant, the entrance is soft, the falling mouth is crisp and refreshing backfill, and the lips and teeth remain flavourful after drinking.
After savouring it for a while, Wu Jun came back to his senses from his delight.
“Good wine!”Wu Jun complimented the wine, and then gave a thumbs up towards Xu Shuzai, complimenting him, “Uncle Xu deserves his ancestral craft, this wine is brewed, absolutely.”
“It’s mainly because the raw materials provided by Mr Wu are good.”Xu Shuzai let out a simple smile, a very self-aware and modest sentence.
Wu Jun did not drink a lot of good wine during this period of time, Moutai, Wuliangye, Jiannanchun, as well as thousands of dollars a bottle of that kind of Luzhou old cellar, he has tasted.
In all fairness, unbiased to say, with the super rice brewing wine, absolutely can hang all the white wine on the market.
Flying Moutai has to be slightly backward in front of the wine brewed with Super Damien.
This result far exceeded Wu Jun’s expectations and made him elated.
Originally he thought, can brew with Maotai similar quality of wine has been very satisfied.
At this moment, the super rice brewed wine, even the national wine Maotai this big brother are dry down.
Although the quality of the super rice is absolutely excellent, but, Xu family this kind of small workshop type of winery, brewing process is certainly not comparable with Moutai kind of regular big winery.
The same share of ingredients, at home to fry their own is a taste.
The wild chef in the street restaurant fried out is a taste.
Star hotel chef fried out is another flavour.
When Wu Jun brewing this work to Xu Shuzai to do, he had no choice, no choice.
He knows the winemaking and only Xu Shuzai this one only seedling.
Plus there are Xu Fei and Xu Minli these two layers of relationship in, give this matter to Xu Shucai to do, Wu Jun also assured.
After all, the quality of super rice is too overbearing, if the super rice brewing thing to the other person to do, Wu Jun also do not feel at ease.
At this moment, Xu Shuzai, who was driven by Wu Jun, gave Wu Jun a satisfactory answer sheet.
Wu Jun let Xu Shuzai take a plastic wine pot to hold a pot of wine, the two of them out of the wine cellar, into the room where Xu Shuzai rested and slept.
The room was very small, only a dozen square metres, the arrangement was very simple, there was only a bed for sleeping, and a high legged bench made of wood.
“Mr Wu, please have a seat, the place is simple, don’t mind.”Xu Shuzai wiped the surface of the bench with his sleeve and handed it to Wu Jun.
“Uncle Xu, you don’t need to be so formal with me, you sit too.”Wu Jun took out his cigarettes, handed one to Xu Shuzai and sat on the bench.
Both of them sat on the bed and one on the stool, Wu Jun asked Xu Shuzai a few questions about the wine.
The wine made from the super rice, he had already tasted it and was beyond satisfied, now his main concern was the rate of wine production.
“Mr Wu, this semi-finished rice you provided, how can I put it,” Xu Shuzai’s face glowed as he talked about the process of brewing wine, “I, Old Xu, have lived for most of my life, and I’ve never seen such a special rice before.”
“Generally speaking, the grain that produces the highest rate of wine, is sweet potato, with a rate of about 70%, that is to say, a catty of sweet potato, can eventually produce 7 taels of wine.”
“Generally speaking, the rate of alcohol production in rice is around 40%, this rice of ours, the rate of alcohol production is simply great, a catty of rice can produce more than 9 and a half taels of alcohol, there is almost no waste.”
“Wine output rate so high?”Wu Jun was surprised after hearing Xu Shuzai’s words.
The quality is so good and the wine output rate is still so high, does this still allow other grains to live.
Wu Jun asked again, “What about the alcohol content?Has it been tested?”
Xu Shuzai said, “My family does not have a professional alcohol measuring instrument in this winery, according to the local method of conversion, the alcohol content is about 68 degrees.”
“So high?”Just now Wu Jun tasted the wine, feel strong, not head, the specific degree of light by mouth to drink is not drink out.
68 degrees, a lot of original wine do not have this degree.
“Drinking is not like,” Xu Shuzai said with a face of certainty, “but definitely this degree, up and down the difference of not 1 degree, I went back and forth to measure five times.”
“Let me think about ……” after getting the rate of alcohol and alcohol content, Wu Jun into contemplation.
In addition to the external packaging and the fame of the wine, the quality of the wine, the wine yield, and the number of alcohol, these determine the selling price of a wine.
Now that the wine was brewed, Wu Jun started to have a headache about the selling price again.
Super rice brewed wine, the quality of hanging Mao five sword, good quality to let Wu Jun a little headache.
How much is the right price for a bottle?
Sell more expensive than Maotai, too high-profile.
It doesn’t match with Wu Jun’s idea of getting rich in a low profile.
The quality is there, sell low, he will not be willing.
