Chapter 1098 Returning to Hometown and Making Mooncakes
Even if someone washes and crushes a million kilograms of fruit into wine, Mo Yan only needs to add sugar according to a certain proportion. She can't do it by herself in just a few days. In the future, the output of fruits will increase, and she will be even busier by herself. It is necessary to tell Zhao Mu and others about the added sugar and the proportion.
As long as the proportion of added sugar is mastered, it is not difficult to make fruit wine, but Mo Yan is not afraid of Zhao Mu and others leaking it. Before she decided to tell them how to brew each fruit wine, Xue Tuanzi gave them another dream spell.
On weekdays, Zhao Mu and others can clearly remember every brewing process, but once they have the idea of divulging the brewing method, they will intermittently lose this memory, and they can't remember how to do it anyway. .
This kind of dreaming technique is much more convenient than erasing memories directly. It has no adverse effects on the body of the recipient, and the effect is very good. However, it is much more difficult to apply. Xue Tuanzi directly exhausted his spiritual power, and the entire weapon spirit was destroyed. Exhausted.Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only
It's not that Mo Yan doesn't believe in these soldiers who are strong-willed and take good care of their own orchards as if they were their own children. What she did was just to prevent the danger before it happened, and to nip all the buds that might leak at the source.
In this way, she can safely use these people and give them maximum trust. They can also not worry about leaking secrets if they make a mistake, which is good for each other.
This time, the grapes alone weighed 200,000 kilograms. Apart from eating and sleeping, Mo Yan, Zhao Mu and others worked non-stop for two days before crushing all the grapes into the vat.
In the process of putting the grapes into the vat, for every ten kilograms of grapes, put three or two kilograms of sugar on top. When the vat is two-thirds full, the lid is put on, then tightly wrapped with airtight oil paper, and finally sealed with yellow mud, just waiting for the grapes to ferment.
The reason why only two-thirds of the vat is filled is because the remaining one-third is used to contain the gas produced after fermentation. Otherwise, the generated gas will have no "place to stay" and the pressure in the cylinder will become greater and greater. When the pressure reaches a critical point, either the large tank will burst and break, or the sealed lid will be blown off. No matter which one it is, it means that the winemaking has failed, and the vat of grapes is considered useless.
The weather is neither cold nor hot at the moment, and fermentation can usually be completed in about forty days. During this period, the lid must be opened and stirred for a certain period of time to allow it to fully ferment. When it is finally completely unsealed, it is necessary to clean the impurities in the vat, filter out the grape skins or impurities produced during the fermentation process, and then seal and store it for a period of time before drinking.
If you want the wine to taste more mellow and rich, the storage time can be extended appropriately. Some wines are well preserved and can be stored for decades without any problem. Just like in modern times, many people like to collect wine. The older the wine, the more fragrant and mellow the wine is, and the higher the value.
Huhits done! Boss, the amount of sugar consumed this time must be tens of thousands of kilograms, right?
The last jar of grapes was sealed, and Zhao Mu and others breathed a sigh of relief. But when I saw that only a few buckets of sugar were left in the mountain-like pile of sugar, I felt a burst of pain on my face. When I thought about how almost all the sugar was used by their hands, my hands started to hurt.
Mo Yan waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Not much, just fifty thousand catties." This is just after the grapes are brewed. When all the remaining fruits are put into the vat, the sugar consumed will probably be hundreds of thousands of catties. In comparison, these fifty thousand kilograms are nothing.
The sound of gasping came one after another, and Zhao Mu and others stared at the densely packed large vats lined up in rows, as if they were trying to pull out the white sugar that had been integrated with the grape juice.
In Dachu, white sugar is more precious than salt. Most farmers have salt in every household, but white sugar is only seen during New Years and holidays. The price of salt within the capital city is 40 cents per pound, and sugar is three times the price of salt, costing 120 cents. The imperial court had very strict controls on sugar, and a large part of the tax revenue came from sugar.
Mo Yan was able to obtain hundreds of thousands of kilograms of sugar at once, all thanks to Yan Junyu's contribution. If he hadn't had connections and had not communicated with the government, he would never have been able to get so much sugar.
At this time, some people are already silently calculating in their hearts how much a pound of wine must be sold to avoid losing money: grapes have a price but no market, a pound can be sold for 600 Wen, and a pound of sugar can be sold for 120 Wen. , the cost of this vat of grapes is one hundred and twenty-seven taels of silver, and the wine produced is about one hundred and sixty kilograms, which means that one kilogram of wine must be sold for at least eight hundred pence to avoid losing money. ...SsWho would really buy such expensive wine?
There was more than one person who calculated this amount. Zhao Mu looked at Mo Yan who picked up the sweet apple and gnawed it, and felt that her throat was extremely dry. "Master, how much silver do you plan to sell for a pound of this wine?"
Mo Yan swallowed the apple in his mouth, thought for a while and said: "The cost is so high, and so much manpower is required. It costs at least three taels of silver per catty, right? This is unvintage wine. If it is vintage, less It cant be sold for less than ten taels of silver.
How are they doing?
The atmosphere was heavy and depressing, and Mo Yan's mood was not much better. Comparatively, if it were her, and she couldn't see her relatives for decades and didn't know their life and death, I'm afraid she would have gone crazy. Even if those relatives are gone or missing, she doesn't want to live alone in a muddle. She has to see them with her own eyes.
Now that these people are no longer a burden to the family, there is no burden in their hearts. She will help them again and realize their dream of meeting their relatives. In the future, if they are willing to come back, the door here will still be open for them; if they are not willing, it means that they have finally found their true destination, and it is always a joy to be able to return to their roots.
In the end, except for those who were carefree like Zhao Mu, everyone else expressed their desire to return home and take a look. Mo Yan agreed without saying a word, planning to make some arrangements in advance and find out the general situation of their hometown through the hometown address they provided so that they could be mentally prepared.
As for the date of return home, it is tentatively scheduled for the beginning of next spring. At that time, another group of retired soldiers had already settled in Liuyang Village, and the work in the orchard would not be delayed because of the departure of this group of people.
The matter of returning home to visit relatives was settled, and everyone's mood gradually calmed down. Mo Yan pointed to the workshop opposite through the window and said: "The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I don't have time to come over that day, so I have to rely on you to bring the rest of the fruit. There are one hundred and fifty pestles and mortars in that room, which are specially used for Those who crush large fruits such as peaches and pears will have to crush them and put them into the vat at the same time. You can discuss among yourselves how to divide the work."
Pears and pears are too big to be crushed one by one like grapes. These pestles and mortars were specially made by her in advance. They are exactly the same in shape as those used for pounding rice and medicine, but the volume is enlarged more than ten times. It operates using the lever principle, which is very convenient to use and saves time and effort. One pestle and mortar can crush at least 800 kilograms of fruit a day.
Zhao Mu nodded and said, "My boss, I will arrange these. You can go and celebrate the festival with peace of mind."
Mo Yan said with a smile: "As my boss celebrates the festival, you also have to take a holiday, don't you? We will make moon cakes at home tomorrow, and you can come and get them then. You will also have a rest the day after tomorrow. It's okay to delay for a day."
Zhao Mu glanced at the others and thought about going to work as usual, but he thanked Mo Yan.
Mo Yan didn't know what Zhao Mu and others were thinking, so when he saw that it was getting late, he asked them to go back and rest. After she locked the door of the workshop, told the dogs guarding every corner, added water and food to their bowls, and placed piles of minced meat in hidden places, she felt at ease. Go home.
Mo Yan did not arrange for anyone to be on duty at night. Firstly, the workshop was too big, and if someone were to come in, the person would not play a big role. Secondly, she needed someone who could fully manage the winery, and this person had to sign a death certificate.
Now, she temporarily handed over the security of the orchard to the children of the local dogs who guarded the orchard and medicine garden. There are more than thirty of these dogs in total. They have been drinking spiritual spring water since they were young. Their size and intelligence are better than their parents. It is perfect for them to guard the orchard.
In addition to dogs, there are several birds of prey lurking in the treetops, and there are many big snakes entangled in the grass. With their presence, they can't benefit from the cruel bad guys, and there is no need to worry about anyone sneaking in to steal fruit and wine.
The next day, the Mo family got up early and started making mooncakes after breakfast. Da Chu's mooncakes have relatively simple fillings. Among them, Mo Yan's least favorite five-nut mooncake "dominates" almost 90% of the market. Mooncakes with rose fillings and lotus seed paste and egg yolk mooncakes are extremely rare.
Its not that no one likes mooncakes with rose fillings and mooncakes with lotus paste and egg yolk, but they are very expensive. They are the aristocrats among mooncakes. Only people with spare money at home will buy and eat them. If a wealthy family knows how to make these two kinds of mooncakes, they can make them themselves; if not, they can go to a pastry shop to buy them.
Mooncakes are not difficult to make. Mo Yan made all the mooncakes she ate in her previous life. The texture and taste of the mooncakes she made were definitely better than those produced by pastry shops.
Since coming to this era, Mo Yan has rarely made mooncakes. The demand for mooncakes is huge this year, and it is a celebration with friends and family, so she decided to show off her skills and let everyone eat more delicious mooncakes.
Sister, look, these eggs are all oily. Xiner peeled off the cooked and cooled pickled eggs, looked at the oily yolks, and shouted happily.
Looking at the yellow pickled eggs that were leaking oil, Mo Yan swallowed unconsciously. She reached for the cooked eggs in the basin and found that her hands were covered with flour, so she urged Xin'er: "This kind of Eggs are the most delicious, peel another one for me to try."
Xiner nodded, swallowed the egg in her hand in a few seconds, and peeled one for her sister.
Mo Yan took a bite towards the thin part of the egg white where she could see the yolk, and she swallowed most of the yolk. She tasted it carefully, nodded and said, "This is the taste. It's not too salty. It's just right for making stuffing."
As she spoke, she took another bite and ate the remaining egg yolk. The salty egg yolk is delicious, not greasy at all, and doesn't taste fishy at all.

Da Chu's mooncakes have relatively simple fillings. Among them, Mo Yan's least favorite five-nut mooncake "dominates" almost 90% of the market. Mooncakes with rose fillings and lotus seed paste and egg yolk mooncakes are extremely rare.Its not that no one likes mooncakes with rose fillings and mooncakes with lotus paste and egg yolk, but they are very expensive. They are the aristocrats among mooncakes. Only people with spare money at home will buy and eat them. If a wealthy family knows how to make these two kinds of mooncakes, they can make them themselves; if not, they can go to a pastry shop to buy them.Mooncakes are not difficult to make. Mo Yan made all the mooncakes she ate in her previous life. The texture and taste of the mooncakes she made were definitely better than those produced by pastry shops.Since coming to this era, Mo Yan has rarely made mooncakes. The demand for mooncakes is huge this year, and it is a celebration with friends and family, so she decided to show off her skills and let everyone eat more delicious mooncakes.Sister, look, these eggs are all oily. Xiner peeled off the cooked and cooled pickled eggs, looked at the oily yolks, and shouted happily.Looking at the yellow pickled eggs that were leaking oil, Mo Yan swallowed unconsciously. She reached for the cooked eggs in the basin and found that her hands were covered with flour, so she urged Xin'er: "This kind of Eggs are the most delicious, peel another one for me to try."Xiner nodded, swallowed the egg in her hand in a few seconds, and peeled one for her sister.Mo Yan took a bite towards the thin part of the egg white where she could see the yolk, and she swallowed most of the yolk. She tasted it carefully, nodded and said, "This is the taste. It's not too salty. It's just right for making stuffing."As she spoke, she took another bite and ate the remaining egg yolk. The salty egg yolk is delicious, not greasy at all, and doesn't taste fishy at all.
