Chapter 333 Brewing

It only took Xu Ming half a day to build a special chicken coop.

Not far behind Happiness Castle, he circled a 30-square-meter circular site, with a mahogany fence around it, wrapped around it with nylon nets, and a black sunscreen net should be covered on the top to prevent the hen from flying away.

Then, a 4-square-meter double-layer chicken coop was built in the middle of the chicken pen to protect the wind, rain and sun.

The food tank and sink for consumption are also ready.

Only the last step is left: Raise chickens.

However, in order to avoid biological contamination, Xu Ming did not buy the kind of chickens that just hatched, but bought 100 fertilized eggs that could hatch chicks.

Then the surface of the egg was cleaned and disinfected to remove 99% of the microorganisms.

But Xu Ming was not at ease. In order to be more thorough, he used his mental power to attach to the spiritual particles, then wrapped each egg, inactivated the remaining microorganisms and even the tiniest virus, and processed them into sterile eggs.

It is guaranteed that there is no attachment of microorganisms, which is absolutely hygienic.

Finally, put these 100 eggs in the insulated box and hatched them, waiting for the chicks to break out of the shell.

"There will be some of this batch of eggs, and some of them are hens. The proportion of hens is about 65%. The rest are all roosters. The roosters will not lay eggs. At that time, pick out all the roosters, raise them a little and eat them. All the hens are left, and they will lay eggs for us to eat."

"If you get 50 egg-laying hens in the end, laying one egg every day or two eggs in three days, and because they are in the world of their own, compared with Blue Star, these 50 hens are at least equivalent to 100 chickens laying eggs, which is not only enough for us to eat, but also may not be enough to eat more."

Xu Ming, wearing gloves and putting eggs into the incubator, said to the women watching him.

"It's just one hundred eggs a day."

Li Yiqing held his chin and thought for a while, "We have four adults, two children, and my parents, there are eight people in total. Eat twenty eggs every day, and there are eight more. How to digest them?"

"You can give some to relatives and friends."

Lan Mengxin, who was standing beside her, said: "If you really can't finish eating, you can send a batch out. In addition, we can also learn how to make cakes and make some pastries. If you still can't finish eating, you can only store them in the refrigerator and make them into braised eggs or something."

“Anyway, there are many ways to deal with it.”

"Hatch the chicks out first."

Xu Ming covered the insulated box and said, "If there are so many eggs that you can't finish eating, then kill a few hens to replenish your body."

Yesterday he took his second daughter to the Maternal and Child Care Hospital for a prenatal examination. Lan Mengxin's due date is at the end of November, with less than three months left; Li Yiqing's due date is at the end of December, with less than four months left.

Now the chicks have just started to hatch, but at the time flow rate of the world, three or four months later, those hens must have grown up and started laying eggs, just in time to catch up.

Excess roosters and hens can be slaughtered to nourish their bodies.

In short, Xu Ming definitely provides top-notch treatment for nutrition.

"Okay, let's go back quickly. We can't stay here for too long. The baby in my stomach is growing fast. I told the doctor that I was pregnant in April and was born in March. It was a mild premature baby of 8 months, but it was actually a premature baby of 7 months, compared to the time outside."

Lan Mengxin stroked her belly with her hands.

“I think there is one more thing to prepare for.”

Li Yiqing suddenly spoke.

"What's the matter?" Xu Ming looked at her.

"Wine, the wine you need to use at the wedding banquet." Li Yiqing said: "We should use better wine."

“Isn’t this already arranged?”

Xu Ming said: "Each table of two bottles of immortal Maotai, and I have a total of 200 bottles, which is not low in grade."

"We can use our own wine."

Li Yiqing said: "There is such a large underground wine cellar under our castle. Why not make some wine in it? The raw materials for making wine are lifted with crystal red, and the water in the gem pool or the water in the crystal valley are also fine... The raw materials are all top-notch, and the wine produced should not be worse than the immortal Maotai. Moreover, this is wine. We are not used to drinking white wine. After brewing, we can drink some to nourish our bodies and cultivate our sentiments."

Her thought immediately made Lan Mengxin next to her lit up her eyes.

"My sister has a good idea!"

She said: "There are all wine cellars here. Why not brew some wine? Use it at our wedding banquet to make the guests happy. I have tried a bottle of that fairy Maotai before. In addition to its good taste and fragrance, it tastes too steep and suitable for those big men to drink. We ladies still drink less intense red wine... I just don't know what the taste of wine brewed with crystal red is like?"

A strong curiosity appeared in her eyes.

He grabbed Xu Ming's arm and said, "Honey, you are not very busy anyway, so you might as well work harder and make some wine for us to drink."

Not very busy?

Xu Ming looked at her and didn't know how to refute it.

Indeed, on the surface, he was not very busy, but he was not idle either. He carved jewelry, built infrastructure projects, accompanied, occasionally cooking and improving food, and racked his brains to "surprise" them on special days, etc., which took up most of his spare time.

Now we have another winemaking project. I want to leave a deep impression on my relatives and friends at the wedding banquet, earn some face, and satisfy their little vanity. When I am bored, I can also drink a few sips to increase the sense of ritual in my life.

No matter how you look at it, it is a troublesome thing that affects your leisure time.

"Okay, absolutely no problem!"

Xu Ming immediately agreed and said to the two girls: "This task is included in me. Let's first study the wine brewing method together, and then choose one that is more suitable for us, write down all the procedures and steps, and buy some wine koji for making wine."

"If you want to hurry, I will start working tomorrow. For the first batch of red wine, we will make 300 barrels. It's okay to make 500 barrels more. Anyway, this underground wine cellar is so big, I think there's no problem with setting up two or three thousand barrels."

"Two wives, what do you think?"

Xu Ming looked at the two girls and asked.

"Well, try the water in the first batch first. Don't make too many. Brewing 50 barrels is enough. A barrel of wine can hold hundreds of bottles." Li Yiqing said.

"I think we can use different brewing methods and recipes to divide them into ten control groups, and brew a total of 100 barrels. When we can drink it, we can see that the brewed wine is the best and then brew more in the future. If it is not very delicious, brew less or eliminate it."

Lan Mengxin proposed her idea.
