Zhao Ming accepted the invitation to play, and no longer spoke harshly to the two of them, but seriously talked about the competition between the two:
"Since we are competing, let's set the rules: You and I use the same materials to make wine, and we will blindly compare the wines we make, and the person with the most votes wins. Is that okay?"
Zhang Dachuan nodded:
"No problem. I believe that all of you here are people with the ability to taste. I also believe in Master Zhao's character and will never cheat on this kind of thing."
Zhao Ming snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the factory:
"Don't worry, I, Zhao Ming, have been brewing wine all my life and I have never done anything fraudulent."
"If your wine is really delicious, then I'm willing to admit defeat."
…
Under the leadership of Zhao Ming and others, Zhang Dachuan and Su Yun came to the brewing plant of the winery.
Immediately, Zhao Ming asked Zhang Dachuan:
"Whatever ingredients you need for brewing, just make a list and I'll have someone prepare it right away."
Zhang Dachuan shook his head and said:
"Not to mention that the normal brewing steps are cumbersome and take ten days and a half. We don't have that much time to waste, so I suggest that we directly use the fermented semi-finished products and quickly brew them for comparison. How about it?"
Normal brewing requires material selection, koji making, fermentation, distillation, blending, filling and other steps to complete.
Each step of this process has extremely strict requirements. If there is a problem in any step, it will lead to the failure of brewing.
So even Zhang Dachuan couldn't omit and reduce the brewing steps.
But three months is very tight, and spending ten days and a half on a competition is really too luxurious.
But if you use fermented semi-finished products, there are only the last three steps left.
And distilling, blending, filling...it won't take too long.
Zhao Ming knew a lot about wine making and knew that what Zhang Dachuan said made sense, so he nodded in agreement without thinking:
"Okay, then I'll do as you say."
In winemaking, fermentation is a crucial step. A good winemaker can often tell at a glance whether the fermented semi-finished product is perfect, and can evaluate the wine before it is finished.
And only in the most perfect state, the high-concentration original wine obtained after distillation is the most delicious.
Therefore, controlling the degree of fermentation of raw materials is also a very important test of vision.
Zhao Ming didn't believe that this young man could see through the quality of the koji and the degree of fermentation at a glance.
Zhao Ming asked the employee named Wang Peng to fetch some of the fermented semi-finished products.
Pointing to the semi-finished products, Zhao Ming said to Zhang Dachuan:
"This is our latest fermented semi-finished product. You and I can extract some of it and brew a small amount of wine. This saves a lot of time and eliminates the need to waste too much food. Do you have any objections?"
Zhang Dachuan nodded:
"No comment."
Zhao Ming said seriously:
"Then let's start now!"
After saying that, Zhao Ming took out the container, put some semi-finished products in it, and began to distill and purify it.
Zhang Dachuan also began to carefully observe the fermented raw materials in front of him.
His expression was extremely focused, and there was an imperceptible light flickering in his eyes. He was observing with the power of perspective, the power of evolution.
Su Yun noticed that Zhang Dachuan was in something wrong, so she couldn't help but stepped forward with concern and asked:
"Dachuan, what are you looking at? These semi-finished products are all produced in the same batch. The differences are very small. You can just use them."
Zhang Dachuan shook his head:
"Fermented koji is actually mycelium. Even if it is the same batch of koji, the concentration will be different... The concentration of mycelium has a lot to do with the quality of the wine. I want to look for the best."
Su Yun nodded repeatedly and asked with concern:
"Then are you sure?"
Zhang Dachuan subconsciously turned his head and looked at Su Yun:
"Of course."
It didn't matter what he saw, because he was using the power of perspective, so he looked directly through the small suit Su Yun was wearing and saw the perfect body under the clothes.
Zhang Dachuan felt a rush of heat gushing out of his nose, and he almost had nosebleeds.
He hurriedly took back his ability, controlled his mind, and then said to Su Yun with a smile:
"If I win today, you have to come to me tonight."
Since the last time the two of them had sex, Su Yun had not come to see Zhang Dachuan in the past two nights because she was worried about being discovered by Guo Yinyin, but Zhang Dachuan couldn't hold back the sweetness.
As soon as Su Yun heard this, her cheeks immediately fluttered. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded shyly and timidly, and said in a voice like a mosquito:
"We'll talk about it after you win."
Zhang Dachuan was immediately excited and said confidently:
"Then you have to watch and see how I defeat this bad-tempered old man today."
While he was talking, he had already poured some semi-finished products for himself into the wine jar, and then added a little spiritual liquid into it while stirring. At the same time, he used water to control the temperature of the wine jar to keep it within a stable range.
The boiling point of alcohol is lower than that of water, so the brewing temperature cannot be too high, otherwise the alcohol will evaporate.
This step has a great impact on the concentration of the wine. One point more water or one point less will greatly affect the degree and taste of the wine.
This process requires an amazing amount of patience and energy. If you are not careful, you will turn good wine into bad wine and fail.
Of course, the final distillation and purification are also crucial.
However, Zhang Dachuan has the power of clairvoyance, so it is quite easy to deal with it.
On the other side, Zhao Ming purely relied on his years of experience to control the temperature and stir. Although he did not have Zhang Dachuan's eyesight, he could still do it with ease by relying on his nose and feeling.
Moreover, while Zhao Ming was brewing, he was also teaching Wang Peng’s employees:
"This kind of semi-finished instant wine is actually very undesirable, because if you only know what it is but don't know why, you will never be able to become a winemaker."
"What I'm doing today is just to teach a young man who doesn't know the heights of the world a lesson. You must take this as a warning and don't think about taking shortcuts, you know?"
Everyone nodded with sincerity:
"yes."
Zhao Ming was extremely satisfied and explained again:
"Wine-making and making wine, the most important thing is the word 'brew'."
"So we must keep our breath, calm our hearts, keep our spirits in check, and be calm and calm. Only in this way can we make good wine."
“If you treat wine with time and patience, the wine will reward you with deliciousness and mellow aroma.”
Zhao Ming's words benefited everyone a lot, and even Zhang Dachuan couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Although this old man has a bad temper, he does have some real skills.
In this way, time passed slowly, and a morning passed just like that.
Until lunch time, Zhang Gensuo and the others had not returned yet.
But Zhang Dachuan and Zhao Ming were still stirring boringly and couldn't stop at all.
So, Su Yun simply called and ordered a dozen takeaways, and greeted everyone to hastily finish their lunch.
