Traveling through 70's wine

Chapter 234 Assistant

Although the living environment of this welfare housing is not as good as Dongcheng Lijing, it has a good location and low housing price, so it is cost-effective to buy.

Director Li said: "I heard that there is a unit in our area that is building a staff dormitory, it seems to be in the Xingfu community area, and I heard that several universities are also preparing to build teacher dormitories."

Wen Qing said hurriedly: "Sister-in-law, go find out clearly. If anyone wants to sell a house, I will take it. I want to buy a few houses like this."

Mrs. Li promised to keep an eye on it and call her if there was any news. A few days later, Wen Qing got the news that an employee's elderly family member was sick and urgently needed money, and was willing to transfer the quota. Wen Qing paid 2 yuan to buy the quota. Led by that employee, Wen Qing signed a purchase agreement with the housing construction unit, so that she would not be afraid of the seller going back on his word. This way, she would not be afraid of the seller going back on his word. This is a later story.

After dinner, she sent Section Chief Li and the others back home and went back to farm. The apples and pears in the space were ripe, so she picked the fruits. The pears could be stored in the warehouse until there was an opportunity to sell them; the apples could be used to make cider or apple juice.

Making apple cider is very simple. Just wash the apples, crush them and put them into a stainless steel wine barrel, then add appropriate fruit wine yeast, stir evenly, and seal it with a one-way valve. During fermentation, the temperature is kept at around 20 degrees. Stir once a day to ensure that the wine ferments evenly. The general fermentation time is 15 to 20 days. After the fermentation stops, filter the wine, put it into the bottle and ferment it again. After the fermentation is completed, pour out the residue in the bottle to get apple sparkling wine. Gaulish champagne is also brewed in this way.

A total of 6 large jars were made before Wen Qing made cider from all the apples.

She cleaned the utensils and tidied the place. Feeling a little tired, she went to the warehouse and opened a bottle of cider brewed last year. The matured cider had a strong apple aroma and a very low alcohol content.

After leaving the space, I sat on a lounge chair in the yard and started drinking by myself.

In the evening, Wen Qing ate stir-fried clams with green peppers and winter melon and seashell soup. She had caught 6 to 7000 kilograms of pearl oysters from the sea, and had opened half of them. She found more than 370 pearls, 176 of which were of good quality. She put aside the others that were not very round or had obvious flaws for later use.

After dinner, Wen Qing took out ten buckets of pearl oysters from the space and continued to peel the shell meat. Sure enough, she found pearls in some shells. After peeling all ten buckets of pearl oysters, Wen Qing found another 182 pearls. She picked all large pearl oysters, so the pearls she peeled were relatively large, and the proportion of pearls with perfect shapes was also higher. The luster of seawater pearls is much better than that of freshwater pearls. You can see yourself in the light of one when you pick it up.

Wen Qing put the shellfish meat into the dryer to dry. She also fished out more than 1000 kilograms of abalone and peeled them. To her delight, she actually found 8 large pearls in the abalone. She had never heard that abalone had pearls. The abalone pearls she peeled this time were as big as peanuts. The colors were pink, rose red, and blue. They were very bright, but the shapes were relatively poor. None of them were round. After the abalone was rinsed with water, it was also put into the dryer to dry. This kind of dried shellfish meat and dried abalone can be preserved for a relatively long time.

She looked at the more than 1 kilograms of sea fish in the warehouse and she really didn't have the energy to continue working. She could only put them in buckets. Fortunately, the sea fish in the space were not dead and could be kept for another two days.

After finishing these things, Wen Qing practiced for three hours as usual before leaving the space to rest.

It took another four days for Wen Qing to dry all the sea fish into dried fish fillets. It was indeed quite enjoyable to fish in the sea, but she caught too many fish and couldn't eat them all. However, she could sell some of them.

During the National Day, Dongcheng Lijing was sold out. After the holiday, Liu Quan recommended his youngest son to her as Wen Qing's assistant, mainly to help her manage her own properties.

His youngest son is Liu Honggang, 22 years old this year. After graduating from high school, he went to work in a winery and has been working there for 4 years. He is married and has a 2-year-old daughter.

Being Wen Qing's assistant is much better than being a salesman in a winery. Liu Honggang was very willing to do so. Wen Qing was also satisfied after meeting the young man. The young man was relatively honest and obedient. The first job Wen Qing gave him was to renovate the 42 houses in the first phase of Dongcheng Lijing and rent them out.

Wen Qing bought him a computer and asked him to master its operation. The young man was very excited to see the computer. This was the only two computers in their winery, and the other one was given to the Finance Department.

Wen Qing suggested that he take a computer class outside to learn how to operate a computer, and asked him to register all the information in his house on the computer for easier management, and that other things should also be entered into the computer for her to check.

When Liu Honggang saw that he had to learn computer knowledge, he looked embarrassed. He didn't like studying himself, so Liu Quan slapped him on the back and said, "If you don't study hard and just muddle through every day, what will you achieve in the future?" Liu Honggang had no choice but to nod and do as he was told.

After the National Day, the Canton Fair is about to open. Wen Qing and Liu Quan are going to attend the Canton Fair together. Director Huang Ping'an will also go, but one of them is in the light industrial products category and the other is in the food category, so they are not in the same period.

Changxia Winery brought fragrant wines such as Changxia Qingniang and Changxia Jingyun, as well as Changxia apple wine and hawthorn wine.

The production of Changxia fruit wine is not large, and it is only brewed in autumn every year. He has drunk it and it is sweet and sour and tastes good, but the taste is relatively light, so it is a wine for women.

When Wen Qing arrived in Dongyue, Ping An Electric Bicycle Factory (it had changed its name) had already dismantled its exhibition. Their products were very popular at this Canton Fair and they received orders for 30 bicycles, with customers mainly from Europe and Southeast Asia.

When Director Huang saw Wen Qing, he smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. He asked Wen Qing for her opinion: should we give dividends or expand production as soon as possible? Wen Qing's opinion was, of course, that development should be given priority. Therefore, the factory still did not plan to give dividends this year, and everyone continued to live a tight life.

Electric bicycles only have a development window of three or four years at most, and they should quickly expand production scale and extend their lead.

Wen Qing asked, "Has Secretary Quan asked the county government for the policy?"

Director Huang said: "The county government agreed to sell us 40 mu of land at a low price and exempted us from income tax for five years. The only requirement was to expand the production scale to more than 5 million vehicles per year."

Wen Qing: "Brother Huang, let's expand the factory as soon as possible and try to start production in the second half of next year. If there is anything in the factory, call me."

Ping An Electric Bicycle Factory left with a generous order, and Changxia Distillery began to set up the exhibition. Except for the first-line products on the first floor, the other exhibited liquors were on the second floor. Changxia Distillery's booth was next to the elevator on the second floor. Although the location was not the best, it was also conspicuous.

The booth style of Changxia Winery was chosen after that of the Songjiang specialty store. The leisurely Jiangnan style is also very suitable for the taste of light-fragrance liquor and apple sparkling wine. She bought a refrigerator and prepared some ingredients suitable for making cocktails. After completing the preparations, she waited for the opening of the exhibition.
