Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

Chapter 268 [Original] and [Absolute Purity] (4k, 3.22 days of supplementation)
There is a fully automatic bottling machine in the kitchen of Monster Hunter World.

The machine is a small machine, not a product assembly line.

This machine was purchased directly by Bai Zhen for 10 alliance coins.

The machine can complete the bottling of a bottle of red wine in about 10 seconds. The efficiency is much lower, but it is completely sufficient for current farms.

Just leave the operation of the machine to the Elumao wearing protective clothing.

It only takes two and a half hours to complete the bottling of 900 bottles of red wine.

While waiting for the red wine to be bottled, Bai Zhen started making vodka non-stop.

The vodka made by Bai Zhen is high-quality vodka, not flavored vodka.

Premium vodka is an extremely pure alcohol brewed from grains.

The biggest requirement for this type of wine is purity!

Whiskey is distilled using a special [still pot], while the distillation vessel used for vodka is called a [continuous distillation column].

The water used by Bai Zhen is Yanhuo water from Yanhuo Village.

Dilution water also has many requirements.

Wine bottles are thick, black, opaque glass bottles.

After some distillation, from 3 tons of grain, Bai Zhen only distilled 2100 pounds of 96% vodka.

Bai Zhen also checked the Yanhuo Water in particular. The water here was purer and of higher quality than the water on his island.

In order to ensure the absolute purity of vodka, Bai Zhen even set up a temporary sealed room in a different-dimensional farm to make vodka.

The water in Yanhuo Village has special effects. For example, rabbit dumplings soaked with mugwort in Yanhuo water, the rabbit dumplings did not rot for a long time after being soaked in Yanhuo water.

The cork is engraved with the Richen Farm logo, and the bottle's seal is made of synthetic plastic material that is not available in Monster Hunter World.

Vodka of this purity also needs final dilution, preferably to between 40% and 50%.

According to the original process, the liquor obtained by continuous distillation also needs to be filtered with charcoal to completely absorb the impurities inside.

The method is also very simple, which is to freeze the wine. Because the freezing point of alcohol is lower, throw away the frozen part of the wine, and you will get purer alcohol.

The bottle was purchased by Bai Zhen in the Pokémon world.

The 96% alcohol content is so high that almost no one can drink it directly.

2100 kilograms of vodka was diluted with 3150 kilograms of fire water, and finally Bai Zhen got 5250 kilograms of vodka.

A bottle of vodka is 1000ml. These vodkas can be bottled in about 2625 bottles. Of course, there may be a few bottles in the end, depending on the bottling efficiency of the machine.

On it were written the words "Richen Winery Original Wine" in the language of Monster Hunter World.

Glass bottles are still considered assembly line products, with no design at all.

For example, the top-notch French Gray Goose vodka in the past was brewed and diluted using top-quality French wheat as its raw material, and was naturally filtered with crystal Champagne limestone to achieve optimal purity.

The continuous distillation tower will continuously distill the vodka, and finally obtain a neutral alcoholic liquid with an alcohol content of 96%.

Generally, high-purity natural water or spring water is used for dilution.

There are four steps: raw material pretreatment, fermentation, distillation and filtration.

Last time Rodna brought Bai Zhen vodka, which was said to be extracted from wine.

There is a white label on the bottle, with white layout and black fonts.

Even if he uses charcoal to filter, it may destroy the absolutely pure vodka that is finally distilled.

As far as Bai Zhen knows, continuous distillation technology does not currently exist in the world of monster hunting.

It's like applying a layer of color-changing ink.

In one morning, the bottling machine finally completed the bottling of red wine and vodka.

Bai Zhen uses a universal tool to filter and purify these flaming water, and then he can get absolutely pure mountain spring water.

But this method is not enough for modern craftsmanship! And it’s far from enough!
The last time Bai Zhen drank vodka, he noticed some tiny impurities suspended in the wine.

The process of making vodka can be simply divided into.

Looking at the continuous distillation tower with the universal tool in front of him, Bai Zhen murmured: "Let you see what absolutely pure vodka is."

The method they are using now is freeze distillation.

Mix vodka and mountain spring water in a ratio of 4:6.

The texture feels as smooth and comfortable as satin, and there are special anti-counterfeiting measures on the seal. The Sunrise Farm logo on the top of the bottle can be seen in completely different colors when viewed from different angles.

The previous raw material pretreatment and fermentation are exactly the same as the production of whiskey.

The year is written as 731 in the Hunter Calendar. 731 is the grape picking time, not the bottling time.

The difference is the distillation process and the steps after distillation.

To a certain extent, the vodka extracted in this way is indeed equal to the result after distillation.

But the cork of the wine bottle, the seal of the wine bottle, and the sticker of the wine bottle are all customized.

But because of the blessing of the continuous distillation tower [distillation purity +1000%], the final charcoal filtration can be ignored.

Bai Zhen established 'Richen Winery' on the basis of the original farm.

The first wine launched was named 'Original', which means it is the first wine launched by the winery.

In addition, on the wine labels, Bai Zhen also numbered each bottle of wine, which is very commemorative.

The overall design of the wine, as well as the level of luxury it looks like, definitely outshines all the wine bottles in the current Monster Hunter world.

After all, the vessels used to hold wine in this world are still ceramic bottles or jars.

The luxury of the ceramic jar cannot be compared with the glass bottle launched by the winery.

In addition, Bai Zhen also prepared an independent burgundy wooden box for each bottle of wine, with some fluffy raffia padded in the wooden box.

While fixing the red wine inside, put in the four-piece red wine set, a wine knife (for cutting the plastic seal and opening the bottle), a tapered wine stopper (a temporary stopper), and an anti-drip ring (for opening the bottle and before pouring it, Put the anti-drip ring on the neck of the bottle. The sponge on the inside can absorb the wine drops remaining on the mouth of the bottle when pouring the wine, so as to prevent the wine drops from flowing down the bottle and staining the wine label or tablecloth), wine pourer (a small device that assists in pouring wine) .

Putting the red wine inside, Bai Zhen also used a special universal tool to stamp the number of the red wine inside on the wooden box.

After doing this, the red wine to be sold to Rodna was completely packaged.

Bai Zhen handed the wine box to Huo Ya and Shui Yun and asked, "What do you think of this packaging?"

Huo Ya and Shui Yun looked at the burgundy wooden box carefully.

The two looked at each other and said, "It feels like a special tribute to the royal family. Every utensil in it looks priceless."

In the Monster Hunting World, a world where the industrial level is not developed, these industrial products look like real treasures.

Like the bottle and the four-piece set that comes with it, this really pushes the specifications to the highest level. And what surprised them the most was that Bai Zhen had numbered each bottle of red wine.
This can be regarded as improving the quality of these red wines.

People who don’t know may think these wines are limited edition.

But when the two of them help on the farm, they know that these red wines can only be regarded as the initial experiments of the winery, and the red wines produced in the future will only be better and more precious than these red wines.

Bai Zhen chuckled and said: "Only the royal family and nobles can afford this level of red wine anyway. If we expect to sell them 100 bottles each, it is better to sell them a limited edition red wine that can earn them 100 bottles."

Are these custom labels expensive?

Of course it’s not expensive, it’s even terrifyingly cheap!
The wine bottle costs 3 alliance coins, the customized cork, plastic seal, and label add up to a set of 10 alliance coins, and there are discounts for large quantities.

The wine box and four-piece set are only 50 alliance coins per set.

The total cost of these things is only 63 alliance coins, but they can create the feeling that this wine costs tens of thousands of dollars.

This is the productivity gap, which brings about the gap in commodity prices.

If Bai Zhen puts a bottle of ordinary wine commercially available in the Pokémon world in the wine box, he can actually make a lot of money, and if others drink this commercially available red wine, they will also find it extremely delicious. .

But this is the first shot of Richen Winery.

Bai Zhen will never allow the winery to launch another brand of red wine.

Richen Farm must be synonymous with quality.

Bai Zhen glanced at the neatly arranged wooden boxes in front of him and said: "A total of 912 bottles were produced. It would not be nice to sell all 912 bottles to Rodna, so just sell her 888 bottles directly, and the number will stay at 888. , I will keep the remaining 24 bottles at home and drink them myself.”

Bai Zhen knew that the demand in the kingdom was only that big. Even if he released thousands of bottles at once, the nobles of the kingdom might not be able to consume them.

In the end, the red wine has to be sent to the Pokémon World and sold all at a relatively low price. Of course, the quality is here, and even if it is a wholesale price, the price will definitely not be low.

Pack up these 888 bottles of numbered limited edition [Richen Winery Original Wine].

Bai Zhen looked at the 2634 bottles of vodka that had been bottled. There were 9 more bottles than expected.

The bottles used for these vodkas are completely transparent 1000ml glass bottles.

There is no large-area sticker on the outside of the glass bottle with a white base like red wine.

Instead, use the kind of transparent stickers with button words.

In addition, the bottle containing vodka is custom-made.

The Richen Farm logo is directly engraved on the bottle, which is absolutely impossible to imitate or change.

This kind of customized bottle also offers high quality in large quantities. When Bai Zhen ordered it, he directly ordered 30 bottles at a price of alliance coins each.

It cost him a full 30 yuan, and if he wanted to continue ordering, the unit price would be reduced to 25 alliance coins each.

On the font sticker on the vodka bottle, the name is written in thick blue font, and some content is written in thin black font below.

The thick blue font is written in the language of the Monster Hunter World, with the name of the product - Absolutely Pure.

The fine font below stated in detail that this bottle of wine was produced in Yanhuo Village in 731. It was the first vodka launched by Richen Winery, and it was labeled as a 40-proof spirit.

The most prominent thing about wine is the word "absolute".

Absolutely pure liquor.

Absolutely perfect taste.

Absolutely magnificent art.

Bai Zhen handed this [Absolutely Pure] to Shui Yun and Huo Ya and asked them how they felt.

They quickly got their approval.

Huo Ya said: "A very simple design, the completely transparent bottle, and the absolutely pure liquor look so beautiful! Moreover, the blue font and black font do not overwhelm the original design, and the bottle is still kept clean."

Shui Yun was not very good at saying complimentary words. She only said: "It's very beautiful. I'm also willing to collect the bottle."

After receiving the approval of the two aborigines, Bai Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They all feel beautiful, so even if other people don't like it, they won't feel bad about it.

These vodkas are not intended to be numbered or sold in limited quantities.

Unlike red wine, whiskey needs time to mature. Vodka can be made as soon as the grain is ripe, and can be sold as soon as it is made.

For Bai Zhen, the cost is much lower than the other two wines.

In addition, the audience of vodka is not as high as that of wine. After all, it is a 40-proof spirit, and not many people like to drink it.

And he heard Rodna say last time that the royal family and nobles like to collect red wine and whiskey, especially red wine.

A well-sealed red wine can be stored for a long time.

In fact, many times, what sells wines such as red wine and whiskey is not the quality of the product, but the time it takes to sell it.

Time is the real scarce commodity.

There is not enough material, and a solution will be found one day.

Even if your skills are insufficient, you will eventually be able to grow.

But time is the only thing that passes by. One bottle of wine produced in the past year is consumed. Without artificial fraud, it is impossible for there to be a lot of old wine inexplicably.

When a bottle of wine has been stored for 50 years, its time value has long exceeded the quality of the product itself.

Therefore, when the demand is unknown and the value cannot be accumulated, it is better not to price the vodka too high. Of course, it must be worthy of the high-grade materials used in it.

Bai Zhen kept 9 bottles of these vodkas for himself, and the remaining 2625 bottles filled 25 wooden boxes with 105 bottles per box.

After carrying the red wine and vodka to Monster Hunter World, Bai Zhen yawned and went to his room to sleep.

Yesterday, he started working in the morning and has been busy until 11 a.m., basically without a wink for 28 hours.

Now that he had finally finished brewing these famous wines, he was just about to have a good sleep.

When he wakes up, he will continue grinding Level 7 flour.

Bai Zhen said to Huo Ya and Shui Yun, "I'm going to sleep for a while first. When Rodna comes, I'll trouble you to wake me up."

"Thank you for your hard work." After watching Bai Zhen leave, the two of them started busy with their work.

Rodna also arrived at Yanhuo Village at 4 p.m. as scheduled.

As soon as she arrived in Yanhuo Village, she went straight to Richen Farm.

After seeing Huo Ya, she said hello: "Good afternoon, Mr. Huo Ya. I'm here to purchase the alcoholic beverages that Mr. Bai Zhen mentioned a few days ago."

Rodna came specially from the kingdom for the wine that Bai Zhen mentioned before.

Seeing Rodna, Huo Ya invited Rodna into the house to wait. Huo Ya said to Rodna, "Please wait a moment. I'm going to wake up Bai Zhen now. He didn't sleep a wink all night to make wine yesterday."
