cultivating immortals and planting the fields

Chapter 542
Therefore, these high-level families, large and small, were left here to intrigue and fight, but Zhang Wei greeted everyone with a smile, and fled away.

These mortal matters are almost irrelevant to him, the Great Immortal Zhang, unless it depends on his mood.

Back at home, he took the two jars away, and put them in the world of lotus seeds. There are many things to do today, so Zhang Wei naturally didn't have time to talk to them. He looked at the rack of grapes behind the main room. , Zhang Wei couldn't help but feel that, in fact, this bumper harvest is still a troublesome thing, after all, you want to pick it off.

These grapes must weigh as much as a thousand catties. Of course, this must be counted together with the immature and ripe ones.

Think about it, it is really not an easy task to grow these thousand-jin grapes. Besides, although these grapes taste really good, after being cultivated in the soil, they can be regarded as excellent varieties. It tastes sweet and delicious, and the brewing is also good.If it wasn't for the fact that Master Zhang's wine was really good, Zhang Wei would have picked it lazily.

However, Keke, a little girl, likes to eat very much.In addition, other people also like it very much. On the day Zhang Wei's parents and Liu Li's family left, Zhang Wei picked a big basket, which is estimated to be at least a hundred catties, enough to feed the two families for a week, but , according to the old personality, the aunts and aunts in the community who are familiar with the mother are also lucky.Zhang Wei's mother couldn't finish eating the things grown in Zhang Wei's yard, and most of them were distributed to the neighbors in the community. Mom's reputation in that community has soared recently.

As long as mom is happy, Zhang Wei doesn't care about this.

Scissors, a frame, a ladder, Zhang Wei moved out the things that needed to be prepared, ready to wait for the sun to come out, and after the dew evaporates, you can start picking grapes. Scissors are essential tools for picking grapes. Moreover, it is connected by fibers. If it is pulled diagonally, it is easy to pull off a large piece of fiber on the entire grape branch, which has a certain impact on the vines. The most important thing is that the grapes are hanging under the vines. If you want to use If you want to remove the grape stems with your hands, you must see clearly, which is troublesome. If you have scissors, you only need to touch the grape stems and "snap" all of a sudden, and the wine can be easily picked off.Therefore, scissors are an essential tool for picking grapes.

As for the frame, it doesn’t matter what frame you use, but you must remember that the inside of the frame must be flat, and the walls of the frame must not have edges and corners. The grape skins are thin and soft. If the skin is punctured by a thorn, one will be damaged.

The most important one is that when eating grapes, you have to pick the grapes one by one to eat, but the grapes that were picked early and the grapes that are picked from the stems of the grapes are definitely two different flavors.

As long as the grape particles leave the grape bunches and are not used for an hour, the sweetness will be less and the sourness will be more sour. Therefore, when looking for a frame, you must also find a frame with clean fur.

As for ladders, grapes in ordinary vineyards are not needed now, and the height of the grape trellis is only more than one meter. Even if you pick the highest grapes, adults still have to bow their waists. However, Zhang Wei’s grapes are very big. Part of it grows on the ridge of the roof. Mr. Zhang has old arms and legs. Naturally, he can’t climb the roof like a skinny monkey like Xiao Keke. Moreover, there are many transitional parts that climb from the ground to the ridge. Grapes, if you don't step on a ladder, you can't reach them at all, so this ladder must be prepared.

Zhang Wei tidied everything up. According to what Master Zhang said, he lined the inner layer of the frame with a layer of canvas to cover the bamboo thorns in the frame. This frame should be able to hold [-] to [-] catties of grapes.

Then a large piece of ground was cleared next to the well, and the grapes that will be picked later, and those that need to make wine must be cleaned here.

According to Mr. Zhang’s explanation, the first thing to do when making wine is to choose the right variety of grapes. Only the varieties suitable for brewing can produce good grapes, and this kind of purple mountain grape is the best variety for brewing, regardless of taste or Sweet and sour, even with a faint fragrance, this kind of grape contains a lot of acid and sugar, and the alcohol that can be fermented by then will be the most mellow and the best alcohol.

Another thing to note is that when clearing grapes, you must use high-quality well water and spring water.

No matter whether the grapes are raised by the farmers themselves or in the vineyards, they are all sprayed with pesticides. Therefore, there must be pesticide residues on the grape skins. It is only a legendary thing to use pure mountain grapes to make wine. .

Although mountain grapes do not require cost, they are not all mountain grapes for you to pick. Not to mention that the current mountain grapes are hard to find. The worms were all gone, and the rest were either immature, or those grapes that even the birds didn't look up to.

However, it does not mean that there is no such thing. If you search patiently, you may not be able to find it. However, if you have the time to look for mountain grapes, it is better to spend money to buy some in the vineyard.

The grapes in the vineyard are all sprayed with pesticides. Therefore, when cleaning the grapes, they must be cleaned carefully. It is best to pick them off one by one and scrub them clean, although it will take a lot of time to do so.Unless it is a small amount of brewing for home-brewed wine, otherwise, such as those wineries, they will not achieve this level, maybe they are not clear, and they may be thrown into the fermentation tank for fermentation in a row .

Moreover, the most important thing is the water used to wash the grapes, which is directly related to the alcohol of the fermented wine. Winemakers know that only good water, combined with good recipes and techniques, can produce a peerless wine. The three, But nothing can be made into wine.Moreover, the wine is the key, which is why the wines brewed with different water in different places in the same winery are of different grades.

Therefore, the water used for winemaking is related to the quality of the finished wine, and naturally a lot of water is brought into the fermentation tank when washing the grapes, and this water is also needed when pouring the wine, so the water spring is very important, and Although the well water in Zhang Wei's house is not the legendary Jiuquan well, it is also a good well water for wine making. Zhang Huaiyi's house in the village uses water from the well water in his yard. Most of the well water here comes from the same underground waterway and is used for fermentation. Hehe, look at the strong aroma of wine from several fermented ceramic vats in Zhang Wei's yard. What is borrowed from home, wine fermentation is different from grain wine, and home brewing is different from large-scale winemaking factories. Here, everything is simplified.
