Chapter 122 Not Good!
Zhuang's father took out a bottle of warm pure water, washed it in the bottle, and soaked it. Not far away, Zhuang took out a steamer made by Lao Banglong, and asked Lao Banglong to bring a few bags of grain to prepare the wine.
Although the manor still only sells four kinds of vegetables to the outside world, almost all the manor’s needs are now produced for its own use. Beans, rice, millet, wheat, etc. are grown and cooked immediately, so they are delicious and will not be wasted.
Jiuqu is a carrier used to cultivate microorganisms before making wine. It is usually cooked white rice or wheat, but also medicinal materials or beans.
There is actually no need for koji to make wine, because the hoarfrost on the grape skins is some unique microbial colonies, so most of the time wine is made with the skins on.
The "qu" in koji is Aspergillus, a microorganism that has been domesticated by humans for thousands of years and plays an important role in making wine, making stinky tofu, making sauce, making vinegar, etc.
Of course, Aspergillus is a huge family, and there is also a notorious species, Aspergillus aflatoxin.
Aflatoxin secreted by Aspergillus flavus, which grows in dark and humid places, is a strong carcinogen that everyone avoids.
Because there are countless fungi that are extremely harmful to humans, in the modern brewing industry, purified fungal yeasts are often used to control the production of dangerous substances.
For example, in the case of liquor, "bran koji" has been used to make wine. This is to inoculate pure strains of bacteria into the bran and cultivate relatively pure bacterial colonies.
But as mentioned before, it purely means that the aroma is light, the quantity is large but the taste is thin. After generations of domestication and selection in traditional methods, many excellent strains or colonies have been passed down in the form of "jiu koji", often It produces a very distinctive flavor, so there are still many people who use traditional methods to make wine.
Many people say that modern industrially produced wine does not taste as good as before, but this is not unreasonable.
Throughout the ages, delicious food has always been accompanied by danger. If you want to be healthy and hygienic, you can't eat more delicious food.
Cultivating a new bacterial colony is actually similar to conducting experiments in the laboratory.
Dad Zhuang was a bit savvy, so he first took out his somewhat tattered winemaking book and flipped through it for a long time, fearing that he had forgotten some operating essentials.
Lao Honglong stood aside and watched curiously.
He has a strange curiosity and reverence for knowledge.
Dad Zhuang flipped through it for a while. Seeing that he was very curious about the book, he handed the book in his hand to him.
Old Honglong held it respectfully, looked at it for a while, and closed the book with a sigh.
He cannot read.
At most, he could recognize the parts stained with ink, but what he saw before him were square, beautiful, and rhythmic words.
It seems to be more mysterious and greater than the words written by the manor owner.
Old Honglong's heart was filled with awe of knowledge.
After finishing the preparations, Zhuang's father set up a plastic tent as a sterile room, put on sterilized gloves, a mask, and a hood, and drove Zhuang Buyuan out: "Okay, you wait outside. What kind of wine do you want to make? High-alcohol wine? Low-alcohol wine?"
"Low-alcohol wine is enough, no need for distillation." Zhuang Buyuan's requirements are not high, as long as it can cure diseases. If the wine can cure diseases and is related to microorganisms, after distillation, maybe all the microorganisms will die.
"I'd better make wine for you, as there are plenty of ingredients." Father Zhuang pointed his finger: "Go put on your gloves and peel off the skins of the grapes."
Zhuang Buyuan yelled, moved a small bench, and started peeling the grape skins.
I peeled one off and stuffed the other into my mouth, and soon I started to burp.
"Dad, how much do you need to peel..." Zhuang Buyuan asked. Peeling grape skins is so hard!
Dad Zhuang: "..."
I knew this stupid son was unreliable!
I asked you to peel the grape skins to make wine, not to eat them!
Simply!
At this moment, Zhuang Buyuan's cell phone rang.
On the phone, Li Mingzhe said while coughing: "Chairman, cough, cough, cough, it's not good...cough, cough, cough, I heard that Zhoujian Group submitted a package plan to the government, and Zhoujian Group invested in geological exploration. , preliminary planning and construction, the Huanshan Tunnel will be built within ten years, with a preliminary plan of 40 kilometers and a total construction cost of 42 billion! The entire Xu City is in shock! The government has held an emergency meeting to start discussing this matter!"
What Li Mingzhe is worried about is not actually this large tunnel with a total construction cost of 42 billion, because he cannot even think about such a large project.
He was worried about another thing: "Chairman, I also heard that there is a small additional condition in the package plan of Zhoujian Group, which is that they hope that they will take over the follow-up project of the two-kilometer tunnel to complete the accumulation of technology. , Chairman, our Xucheng Tunnel construction encountered a waterloo in the two-kilometer Huanshan Tunnel. No matter what, I want to get this project back, Chairman!"
Li Mingzhe was really anxious, his voice was like a cuckoo wailing, and he was weeping blood every word.
Zhuang Buyuan was also surprised after hearing this.
That’s awesome, Mr. Xu!
Even as an opponent, Zhuang Buyuan also had a sincere admiration for Mr. Xu.
Big deal! A real big deal!
A package plan, a super project with a cost of 42 billion!
If the construction is completed in ten years, there will be 4.2 billion project funds every year. With this big project alone, the Zhoujian Group will be full.
By signing this plan, the Xucheng government no longer has to worry about anything. As long as it spends 4.2 billion every year, it can be its own Party A. In 10 years, the magical mountains and natural chasms will be cleared, and all officials can comfortably make money from their political achievements. .
Of course, all the risks involved have been borne by Zhoujian Group, but Mr. Xu has the courage!
Zhoujian Group has never been a company that lies around and waits. They have their own R&D team, their own technical strengths, and the confidence to conquer the Huanshan Tunnel, which is the most difficult to construct in the world, within ten years.
Moreover, if there is force majeure during the construction, or it really cannot be completed within ten years, can't it still be postponed?
Not to mention, if this agreement is really signed, the subsequent impact it will bring will make the reputation of Zhoujian Group the highest in the industry. I don’t know how many big projects will come to our door!
It’s worth losing money!
It’s so awesome!
And Mr. Xu’s package plan is too exclusive.
The tunnel construction companies in the entire Xu City, all tied together, may not have the financial resources and courage!
Even though he had the manor, Zhuang Buyuan still had a sincere admiration for Mr. Xu.
In a small place like Jiahu, he might not even be able to compete with Deng Yali, and he wouldn't have any advantage in competing with Almighty Manor for the construction of the virtual city tunnel.
But once he opened his eyes and stood at the height and level he was accustomed to, even ten Deng Yali tied together could not catch him, let alone Zhuang, who was still a newbie in the engineering world.
Conspiracy? No, this is simply crushing!
If it weren't for Da Niu, a super creature from the manor owner's era, Zhuang Buyuan wouldn't even be able to think about competing with a big company like Zhoujian Group. He could only be like Li Mingzhe, eager to get back his own leftovers.
But now...
I'm afraid Mr. Xu can only sigh, why should I be bright when I am pregnant with Yu!
Across the way, Li Mingzhe seemed to be still arguing with others: "Let me out, I'm not in the hospital anymore, let me out, cough cough cough cough..."
"Mr. Li, you should rest assured and recuperate." Zhuang Buyuan said, "Leave the state construction group to me."
"Chairman, you don't understand...this Mr. Xu is too scary..."
"I understand." Zhuang Buyuan nodded and sighed, "This Mr. Xu is really powerful, I really want to take him under his wing..."
Next time we meet, I will give him a card! That’s it!
When he thought of such a powerful person becoming his servant in the manor, Zhuang Buyuan thought, wow, I am so awesome!
"Ah? What did you say? Chairman? Chairman?"
Over there, Zhuang Buyuan hung up the phone. Li Mingzhe held the phone and thought about Zhuang Buyuan's words for a long time, and suddenly screamed in fright: "It's not good, the chairman is bent!"
Chairman, no, that’s just an old man over fifty!
