Nine Hundred and Twenty Six. Frozen Grapes

The first batch of grapes did not grow well. Most of the vines had only one or two clusters of grapes, and some had not yet grown grapes.

However, the vineyard is over a hundred acres after all, and the amount of grapes produced is still considerable, and because of the irrigation of the Seagod's energy, the grapes grown are very full.

After being frozen by ice and snow, whether it is wine grapes or raisins, the grape grains are hard to the touch, and the grape skin is very tight and stretched. Few of them are frozen. Ice slag.

Papa Hixon was surprised at the beginning, but then he didn't care. He only cared about whether his ice wine could be brewed, what else? There are many strange things in the world.

Mao Weilong found it strange. He cut a grape into two slices, looked at the small ice slag between the pulp, and asked suspiciously: "Qi-beast, what is your grape variety? You are so awesome. Will it freeze like this?"

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "Maybe it's because of the high sugar content. If you're interested in digging some back up and planting them on your farm, I have plenty of grapes here anyway."

Avoiding the serious, he changed the topic calmly, and then decided that this year, he could no longer instill the Seagod energy in the grape seedlings so casually, and just instill some grapes that he wanted to eat.

Soon, more than a dozen wicker baskets were filled with grapes, and Michelle drove the pineapples and dragged the baskets to the freezer with a sleigh.

Seeing the pineapple running happily in the snow, Papa Hixon laughed and said, "What a nice little tool, it's much better than our car, maybe I should consider whether to raise a deer. "

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "Trust me, dad, don't make yourself guilty. It takes more money and effort to raise a deer than it takes to raise a classic car."

"But it's much more interesting." Shirley added, and then bouncing after the pineapple.

Nelson drove up in the jet ski. He took Qin Shiou to the icehouse.

The ice storage in the fishing ground is not the kind of trivial thing in my hometown. The cold storage in my hometown covers an area of ​​less than 400 square meters, while the ice storage in the fishing ground covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters and is more than ten meters deep underground. It is the most important building in the whole fishing ground.

Not only the Daqin fishery, but every fishery is like this. The fishery owners caught some of their catches and sold them while they were fresh.

The other part is to be stored. Wait until the fishing ban period to sell them in order to strive for a good price.

Now Qin Shiou has a total of six ice banks in his hands, but only one ice bank in Daqin Fishing Ground has been used, and the remaining five ice banks are still empty, because his fishing efforts are relatively small and he does not need to use other ice banks.

Now that the fruits are to be stored, Qin Shiou has to open another freezer. The storage temperature of fruits and vegetables is different from that of fish, shrimp, crabs and beasts.

The vineyard is located in the fishing ground of Mr. Ross, and it is naturally the ice bank of the fishing ground that is in operation.

The ice storage of each fishing ground is similar, and the ice storage of Mr. Ross's fishing ground is about 10,000 square meters. The area of ​​100 meters by 100 meters is divided into six freezers, and each freezer has a high-power refrigerator that can work.

When Qin Shiou took over the fishery, he cleaned the icehouse, and the things inside had already been cleaned up. Before picking grapes, he turned on the fan to replace the air, and the air inside was very fresh.

Except for the exhaust fan, the refrigerator and the external connection, the ice storage is well sealed, so it is freezing outside, but the inside of the underground ice storage is very warm, because the walls of the ice storage are insulated. This is the same as storing vegetables in an incubator.

After entering the freezer, Qin Shiou took off his down jacket and was left with only a woolen sweater. The fishermen were even tougher, and a jacket would solve the problem in the cold weather.

A group of people carefully took out the picked grapes. After checking for damage and insect damage, it was put into the freezer.

Grapes contain a lot of water and nutrients, which are good medium for microbial life. The way for microorganisms to invade the body of fruits and vegetables is in the wounds of mechanical injury or insect injury of fruits and vegetables, and the fruits and vegetables contaminated by microorganisms will all rot and deteriorate soon.

So, check, the pineapples dragging the sleigh will inevitably cause the baskets to bump into each other. Crushed grapes have to be sorted out to minimize the chances of microbial growth.

These grapes are not just placed on the ground, but wrapped in organic paper and placed on wooden shelves nailed in advance by Shaq and sea monsters.

Organic paper bags can prevent insects, moisture, and microorganisms from invading.

Twenty or thirty people worked hard all day, most of the wine grapes were taken away by Papa Hixon, and the rest were put together with the grapes and put into the ice storage of the fishing ground.

Fishermen are extremely skilled in using ice storage, and the fishing farm ice storage is used to store fruits and vegetables, so they know how to better preserve grapes.

Qin Shiou thought that it would be enough to directly adjust the temperature suitable for storing grapes. Shaq shook his head and explained: "No, it can't be like this. After the fruit enters the cold storage room, the method of gradually cooling down should be adopted, otherwise it will cause the fruit itself to deteriorate and cause physiological diseases. of."

The temperature of the freezer was originally about ten degrees, but Shaq adjusted it to five degrees. This lasted for two hours, and then the temperature dropped to two degrees, and then reached zero degrees in an hour, and finally stayed at minus one degree.

One degree below zero is the most suitable temperature for storing ice grapes. It preserves the fruity aroma of the grapes, and will not freeze the pulp due to overcooling, nor will it cause the grapes to spoil too quickly.

The refrigerator is very advanced, and the computer controls itself to gradually adjust the temperature. Qin Shiou checked that there was no problem, and went back to the villa to prepare for dinner.

After working for a day, Qin Shiou was covered in icy snow water. The most suitable time is to soak in a hot spring. He looked at the water vapor not far away with emotion, and he had to ask the geological team to check it. Hurry up and start building the hot spring.

Qin Shiou never quite understood how a small volcanic eruption on the seabed hundreds of kilometers away affected his fishing grounds? But he doesn't know the knowledge in this area, so he can only listen to the words of other experts.

On the way back, he met the three Sanders, the old professor was patrolling the fishery with two addresses, and Tia was carrying a bag filled with wet seaweed.

Qin Shiou greeted the three of them, asked if he was used to coming to the fishing ground, and then looked into Tia's bag.

Sanders explained with a smile: "I'm looking for research topics, I can't take your money for nothing, can I?"

Qin Shiou recruited fishery experts to come to the fishery, not only to protect the lives of fish, shrimps and crabs, but also to see if the fishery could come up with any scientific research topics. If there were suitable topics, he could apply for research funds from the Ministry of Fisheries.

In addition, if some patents are really researched, the income will come up.

Qin Shiou was not interested in research topics. What he was afraid of was that the fishing ground would encounter some crisis that he didn't understand. That's why he asked the old professor to sit in charge. In the final analysis, he was looking for peace of mind. (To be continued.) xh123
