Super Orchard

Chapter 105 Cider

In late September, the temperature here in Jinquan Village is dropping every day, and it is even cooler in the morning and evening, and the apples in the garden are already ripe.

The red apples are much bigger than an adult's fist, and they hang all over the branches. Standing at the gate of the orchard, you can smell the strong fruit fragrance, and see those red branches and leaves densely covered in the orchard that are very appetizing. middle.

Because the apple orchard is too big, covering more than 100 mu, even though the number of employees has expanded many times, it is still impossible to pick the apples in one day.

As soon as Zhou Jianguo got the news, he immediately came with his vehicle. The time he looks forward to the most every year is now, when the apples are ripe, because compared with the output of other fruits in Jinquan Orchard, there are many more apples, and it is also for Zhou Jianguo. Come and get the most fruit.

Zhou Jianguo walked back and forth in the apple orchard excitedly with his hands behind his back, looking here and there, nodding his head incessantly.

Walking to Shen Yangguang's side, Zhou Jianguo said happily, "I saw that this year's apple production is only a lot more than last year's. Congratulations, brother Shen, congratulations!"

Shen Yangguang can also see that this year's apple production is a little more than last year, but not too much. It is impossible to achieve the growth rate of last year.

This is mainly because Apple's land was left here by the uncle's family for several years without management. It is good that Apple can survive, and there is no hope for the output at all.

Last year, after a whole year of careful care, these apples have almost returned to normal production levels, so there will be explosive growth. It is almost impossible to think about it in the future, after all, the production of each fruit is different. There is a peak, no matter how well taken care of it is, it cannot be broken through.

Zhou Jianguo looked at the workers busy picking fruit with a smile on his face, and suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked, "By the way, Brother Shen, don't you have a fruit winery now? How much wine do you plan to make?"

Zhou Jianguo couldn't help but be indifferent to this matter, because the more fruit wine he brewed, the fewer apples he would sell to himself, and on the contrary, the less fruit wine he brewed, the more apples he would sell to himself.

Shen Yangguang had already calculated this, and replied: "I will keep [-] jin of apples to make wine, and I will sell the rest to you."

Zhou Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought you would make a lot of wine this year, so it's not much, hahaha!"

Last year’s apple production in Jinquan Orchard reached more than 77 jin. This year, it will be 90 million jin. After subtracting 70 jin of wine-making apples, Zhou Jianguo can still buy more than [-] jin, which is almost the same as last year. With so many apples, he only needs to change hands through his own powerful channels, and he can easily earn millions!
Shen Yangguang smiled and said: "I have to save some more for Boss Zhou, otherwise I will use all of it to make wine, and Boss Zhou will be very sad, hahaha! But there is another reason, that is, the scale of my small winery is too small One hundred thousand catties per brewing is already the limit, so you can’t use that much, if you brew in batches, you’re afraid that the fruit will not be fresh if it’s kept for a long time, which will affect the quality of the wine.”

There are some truths and falsehoods in what you said, but Zhou Jianguo is still very happy: "What do you say, how much of the fruit wine on the market is made from fresh fruits? Besides, the storage time of apples is much longer than that of wild grapes. The second brew was perfectly fine."

"There are enough fruit wines, and I would be thankful if they could all be sold, so I don't think about expanding the scale of the fruit wine factory. After all, our orchard still focuses on fruits and other supplements. "

Three days later, more than 100 mu of apples were all picked, and the yield was just as the two expected, more than last year. The average yield per mu also increased from less than 92 catties last year to about [-] catties this year. The output has also reached a staggering [-] jin!
Except for the 82 catties of apples that were transported to the fruit winery for brewing cider, and Shen Guangguang kept a little for himself, the remaining 30 catties of apples were all sold to Zhou Jianguo at the old price of 460 yuan per catty, and the total income reached [-] million yuan!
Shen Yangguang's account balance also changed again, reaching a full 3000 million yuan!
Seeing so much money, Shen Yangguang began to think about continuing to expand the orchard, but now the fruit wine department is brewing cider, Shen Yangguang decided to go and have a look first, and he didn't care about building a greenhouse to expand the scale.

The process of brewing cider is similar to the process of brewing wild wine, only some details are different. After training again, with the experience of brewing wild wine two months ago, Guo Fugui and others are more comfortable now.

In the fruit wine factory, Guo Fugui and other ten people from the fruit wine department were also the main ones, supplemented by seconded personnel from other departments, and began to brew cider in large quantities.

After cleaning and crushing, the most important main fermentation begins. No one else can help in this process, and it can only be operated by professional staff of the fruit wine department.

Shen Yangguang walked around the fermentation workshop for a while, and then thought of the wild wine stored in the underground wine cellar, so he called Guo Fugui and asked, "It's been two months since the wild wine, how is it now?"

Guo Fugui took out the notebook he carried with him and flipped through it and said: "The wild wine has been fermented and is completely drinkable, but it needs to be left for a while to taste better."

At this time, Shen Yangguang was planning to build a new greenhouse and the idea of ​​building a resort. These were large sums of capital investment, and he definitely couldn't wait that long, so he decided to fill part of the wild wine first and sell it on the market first.

In the underground wine cellar, fifty large wine barrels were neatly arranged. Guo Fugui held a cup at the first barrel, turned on the switch at the lower part, and immediately a stream of purple-red transparent fruit wine flowed into the cup.

Shen Guangguang took it, and before he drank it, he smelled the aroma of the wine, which also carried the aroma of wild grapes. The liquid flowed down the throat and spread all over the body in a short while. After a long time, the aroma of wine and fruit in the mouth still lingered for a long time.

After savoring carefully, Shen Yangguang felt that the taste of the wild wine this time was much better than the one brewed by himself at the beginning. It is true that when he brewed it all by himself, such as the proportion of various materials As well as a series of procedures such as filtration, crushing, pressing, and fermentation, they are definitely not as precise as these fully automatic machines, so the taste is certainly not as good as the current wild wine.

Guo Fugui also drank a small cup and couldn't help but nodded. Both the taste and texture were much better than he expected before.

Shen Yangguang immediately decided to take out [-] barrels of wild wine to bottle and sell, and as for the remaining [-] barrels, they will continue to be sealed for the time being and will be taken out later.

In the filling workshop, a series of filling machines, bottle washing machines, sealing machines and other equipment are all available, and even the packaging and labels of wild wine are all ready.

Now that the cider is being fermented, Guo Fugui led his staff to start filling the wild wine without being too busy for the time being.

With the start of the machine, a bottle of wild wine after filling goes down the assembly line and is packed into a beautiful packing box.

These thirty barrels of wild wine weighed [-] catties, and each bottle was exactly one catty in capacity, so there were [-] bottles of wild wine in total!
According to Shen Yangguang's idea, the price of these wild wines will be set at 1000 yuan a bottle. You must know that two catties of wild grapes can produce one catty of wild wine. The cost is calculated based on the market price of 50 yuan per catty, which is one hundred Including the various expenses of the fruit winery, the total cost is less than two hundred yuan, and now the price of 1000 yuan has been set, which has increased the value of the wild grapes that were originally sky-high by five or six times!"
