Chapter 259
Zheng Tu only thought that this young gentleman Ling had a big appetite, so he immediately sighed and said, "Five-five, let's make a fortune together."
Ling Jing still shook his head.
"Six, I, four, you six, can't be more. If it weren't for the hot-selling liquor now and it's hard to get the goods, it would be impossible for you to count it." Zheng Tu felt a little unhappy. This little white face had a big appetite.
Ling Jing picked up a piece of pig ears and threw them into his mouth. The sauce pig ears with white wine are really a perfect match. "This liquor is exclusive to Huaihuang. Looking at the world, there is no other company that can be brewed. Do you know how many merchants are coming to Huaihuang now just to get a batch of liquor back?"
Of course, Zheng Tu knew that Huaihuang’s liquor has always been a hot seller, but the output was too low before, and it only produced 50,000 kilograms of liquor per month. That little output was long eaten by those big merchants. Other merchants had no hope at all. Every time they took out a little bit of it and were even more shockingly sold at a high price. It was priceless and hard to find a jar. Even Huaihuang’s own restaurants would have a few jars of liquor restaurants, their business would be very popular. Now, Huaihuang’s largest white horse restaurant is said to be the private property of Yi Dashuai, but only one hundred kilograms of liquor is supplied every day, first come first served, and each catty can be sold at a sky-high price.
Zheng Tu had long seen this hot situation, but he was a slaughter of three-quarters of land outside the city, but when he entered the city, he was just a pig slaughter. However, in the past few days, news came from Qixingbao that the winery over there had been expanded. The new winery now produces more than 100,000 kilograms of wine a day, and more than 3 million kilograms of wine a month. The output is already a hundred times that of the previous one. Many people think this is an exaggeration, but Huaihuang has indeed made a statement. The first batch of wines started selling before the New Year, and this batch of wine reached one million kilograms. So many new wines have already attracted countless excitement that they did not have the opportunity to buy liquor. Now liquor is everywhere
They are all extremely popular. As long as you can get wine, it will definitely be a big profit. Countless merchants flocked to the city, and the inns in the city were already full. Even the small shanty towns outside lived in merchants wearing gold, silver, and silk and satin. Zheng Tu started to think about it and wanted to get it in. He happened to meet Mr. Ling. According to a friend, he was said to have someone in the General Administration Office and was familiar with the managers of the Qixingbao winery and could get wine. Zheng Tu wanted to cooperate with Ling Jing, but he didn't plan to transport the wine to other places. He just wanted to use Ling Jing's connection to get wine. Then he directly sold it to those merchants from other places, making a big profit from it. It was simply direct.
"I heard that after the expansion of the winery, the output is very high now, and it is said that it produces 50 million kilograms of wine per year." Zheng Tu told the news he heard, but he didn't believe it. It would be as much as 50 million kilograms of wine per year.
Ling Jing smiled but said nothing. He knew the output of the winery in Qixingbao. It turned out that only 50,000 kilograms in January, but now there are 3 million kilograms in January. This is true, not an exaggeration. Now, the workers in the winery have reached more than 10,000, and the scale is huge. But the most powerful thing about the winery is not the huge scale, but the unique winery brewing process. Before the appearance of BA wine, the wines in Dasu were all rice wines, and there was no distilled wine technology. In the Bashu area, some of the most primitive earth-sauce wine brewing methods have begun, but they are thousands of miles away from the brewing of distilled white wine. Therefore, Yifeng's white wine is indeed unique.
Especially at present, since the re-issue of the ban on alcohol in the 16th, most of the private wineries in various places have been closed, and a small part of the secretly private brews are left. Most of the wines are brewed by the arch wineries, but the output is not high, which is simply difficult to meet the demand for the general public. The ban on alcohol has caused the price of wine to continue to rise, and the rampant private brewing smuggling. The biggest reason for the ban on alcohol in the imperial court is indeed the consumption of grain. The traditional brewing process, which costs three pounds of grain per pound.
The price of wine was quite expensive at this time. Even the rise of drinking tea was because of the high price of wine, so the people had to turn to drinking tea.
How expensive is wine at this time?
A expensive wine is worth ten thousand ciders, and a general wine is worth three hundred ciders, and a bucket of one hundred ciders. How much is a bucket of wine? At this time, a bucket of wine is about 6,000 ciders. The wine is lighter than water. Six thousand ciders have twelve ciders of water, but generally only ten ciders of wine. Therefore, a expensive wine costs about one thousand ciders, and a cheaper one ten cider. A thousand cider can buy a pig or two sheep, which is indeed of great value. However, in modern society, the price of wine is also ten million times different. There are hundreds of thousands of good ones per bottle, and a few dollars a bottle of cheap ones.
After the imperial court banned alcohol, the ordinary wine brewed in the imperial court's wine shops were generally brewed in spring and sold in autumn, called small wine, with twenty-six levels, the cheapest one was five cents per pound, and the most expensive one was thirty cents per pound. The wine brewed in winter and sold in summer was called large wine, which was divided into twenty-three levels, the cheapest one was 8 cents per pound, and the highest one was 48 cents per pound. But this can only be considered medium and low-end wine, as well as high-end wine, 72 cents per pound of silver bottle wine, and 81 cents per pound of lamb wine.
At this time, the rice price is twenty or thirty cents per pound of rice. Buying a pound of lamb wine is equivalent to three pounds of rice. A pound of rice costs about five or six cents, and wine is much more expensive than rice. The cheapest small wine is the same as rice, but good lamb wine is equivalent to more than ten pounds of rice.
At this time, there were some foreign wines transported from the Western Regions or Linyi, Funan, etc., such as Linyi's plum wine, gravy wine, Persian Sanlejug, wine, etc., which were not cheap. However, the wine produced in Huaihuang is white wine, which is a brand new wine. Compared with rice wines with generally low levels, although some people are not suitable for white wine, most people still like this new wine.
Of course, the wine from Huaihuang produces is delicious, but it must be expensive.
In fact, modern people know that wine is a highly profitable commodity.
Before the expansion of the winery, Yifeng asked the winery to produce fruit-based liquor, which had a low yield, but had a good taste. Later, he began to buy sorghum used to feed livestock to make liquor. The cost of making liquor with fruit and sorghum is much lower than that of traditional glutinous rice. Ordinary rice wine is three kilograms of grain per kilogram, while Yifeng used fruit and sorghum to make liquor, and the cost of making liquor is controlled at one kilogram of wine per kilogram, and this grain is several times cheaper than glutinous rice. This is equivalent to the cost of liquor made by Yifeng compared to traditional rice wine. Of course, if only this is the case, Huaihuang Wine House will not be able to shout the slogan of an annual output of 50 million kilograms now.
In fact, several technologies controlled by Yifeng are the key, allowing Huaihuang Winehouse to rapidly expand its production capacity.
The key technologies are the two technologies: alcohol blending technology and low-alcohol blending technology.
After Huaihuang expanded its production capacity this time, the newly produced wines were divided into more than 20 levels, just like the official wine. Among them, they were divided into two categories, namely grain wine and alcohol blended wine. As the name suggests, grain wine is white wine brewed from pure grain. After distilling out the wine, it was stored for 90 days. These pure grain wines cost from 100 citrus per kilogram to 3,000 citrus per kilogram, and even the packaging is carefully made. The 3,000 citrus per kilogram is even in celadon bottles. In addition, some are placed in the wine cellar, which will not be sold one year later, three years later, five years later, and ten years later, which is a higher-level cellar wine.
Of course, the raw liquor brewed by these grains is relatively high and the output is not too much. The one with the most real output is blended wine.
Blend wine is divided into alcohol blended wine and low-grade blended wine. Most modern white wines are actually not pure grain brewing wine, but mostly blended wine. This blending is not mixed with water, but uses a small amount of raw slurry, some grain alcohol plus some additives and spices, etc., according to a special process ratio, blended wine with almost the same color, aroma and flavor as pure grain brewing wine. This blended wine is cheaper than pure grain brewing wine. In summary, the cost of one pound of pure grain brewing wine can blend ten kilograms of blended wine. The most important point is that blended wine does not even require a storage period of at least ninety days, and after blending, it can be sold directly out of the factory for drinking. For wineries, this blended wine is equivalent to unlimited production. As long as grain alcohol, raw slurry and additives follow, the energy source will continue to produce wine.
Huaihuang Wine House produces one pound of pure grain and brewed liquor, which is only one tenth of the rice wine of the Sui Dynasty Wine House. The blended liquor can blend ten pounds of blended liquor. Calculate that the grain required for one pound of rice wine can brew 100 pounds of blended liquor. Even if the cost of removing some spice additives is also an astonishing proportion.
What's more, Yifeng has a more profitable technology. It is the blending technology of low-alcohol wine. Generally, the degree of white wine is higher, and the cost is higher. Yifeng learns the modern winery's method to produce a small amount of grain and produce a large amount of blended wine. It produces a small amount of high-alcohol wine and a large amount of blended low-alcohol wine.
To put it bluntly, low-alcohol wine blending is real water mixing. But this water mixing has a relatively powerful technology that can reduce the degree after adding water, but there will not be much difference in taste. Without this technology, random water mixing will only result in water or water, and wine or wine. But with this technology, there is no problem. Moreover, while the cost of low-alcohol wine is reduced, more consumers will accept this kind of liquor that is originally higher than rice wine, so that liquor can also seize the market at a low price and sell it to more people.
Raw wine must be produced locally in solid grain, with complex brewing and long production cycles. The output is restricted by the fermentation tank, limited output and high cost. However, through blending technology and using edible alcohol, it can be produced in industrial mass, with low cost and as much as possible.
