Chapter 269： wine making

After listening to the instructions, Mario wrote down one by one, and was going to go to Captain Jack to discuss the next development.

Not long after Mario left, Rose came to Narant's study, "Sir, the grapes you brought back have been cleaned and dried!"

"Very good! Let's start brewing!" Nalanda nodded, and immediately followed Rose downstairs.

Now that the grapes have been obtained, and many of the island's grapes will be ripe, there is not much time left for Narant.

He needs to try making wine as soon as possible so he doesn't miss out on this year's batch.

Coming to the vestibule, all the grapes have been cleaned and dried as required.

"Ross, now follow the steps I told you to start making!"

Although Narant has not personally tried brewing, he remembers the process clearly, mainly because there is no technical content in brewing wine.

First, wash and dry the grapes, then find a container to crush the grapes one by one with the skins into the container, and add an appropriate amount of sugar as an ingredient to increase the sweetness.

When the above steps are completed, the container can be sealed and waited for fermentation. When the fermentation is almost complete, the container can be opened again and the grape pomace in it can be filtered and removed.

After the grape pomace is removed, the rest is pure grape juice, but the grape juice at this time still cannot be called wine, and needs to be fermented a second time until it becomes wine.

Narant even remembered that her grandmother had specially put egg whites in the second fermentation.

Narant asked the reason out of curiosity, and his grandmother told him that adding egg whites during the second fermentation would increase the transparency of the wine.

Although I don't know if this method really works, but now he has done the first step before talking about it.

As for whether to add egg white or not, we will see later.

Under the guidance of Narant, Rose and a few little maids began to crush grapes into large clay pots.

It took more than half an hour and ten large clay pots, and finally the more than 200 kilograms of grapes that were picked today were processed.

After putting in an appropriate amount of sugar, and then sealing it, the first step in making wine is complete.

"Ross, you are optimistic about these pots during this time, and remind me to check the pots after more than ten days!"

Although Narant remembered the general process of making it, he forgot the fermentation time.

However, it is roughly estimated that the first fermentation will take ten days and a half months, and now the weather is still hot, so it is possible to open a jar for about ten days.

At that time, as long as all the grape pomace floats, it means that the first fermentation has been completed.

"Yes, Lord Lord" Rose was a little excited, because she had heard her Lord say that this was making a very delicious and noble wine.

Rose doesn't know what her other abilities are, since she doesn't go out much.

But when it comes to making food, Rose's admiration for her own adults has reached a blind level, and every time her own adults make delicious food, they are all unique in the world.

The island exploration has been completed, and the wine has also been tried, and then Narant finally has time to relax.

Time flies to the day that there are only three days before the Harvest Festival.

"My lord, a convoy came from outside the castle, sent by the count!"

This morning, when Narant had just finished his breakfast, Thomas quickly found Narant and reported it.

"Huh? The convoy sent by the Count? Why did you send the convoy at this time?" Narant was a little puzzled.

Narant is also waiting for the arrival of the earl and a group of nobles these days, and the work up and down the castle has basically been completed.

Even the seven manors on Maiye Village Square had been renovated last night. As long as Narant went to check it out today to confirm it was correct, everything would be ready.

Lord Earl will send a messenger in these two days, but Narant has expected it. After all, Lord Earl will also notify the arrival time and the number of guests in advance, so that Narant can be ready to welcome.

But now that the team was sent, it was not what Narant expected.

"Bring them to the vestibule!" The surprise turned to surprise, but the team still had to put them in.

Following Narant's orders, the convoy sent by the count was soon put into the castle.

"Little Peter, is the personal servant of the Earl, and has met Sir Narant!"

"Sir Narant, the villain, on the order of the Earl, brought ten barrels of high-quality beer to Stormwind in advance, plus 200 kilograms of monster meat! These are prepared for the nobles to eat at Stormwind in the next few days."

The convoy stopped in the vestibule, and a middle-aged man immediately came to Narant and gave a respectful salute, and also informed the convoy of the reason for coming.

Hearing this, Narant was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that the Count would send another good thing.

When he was in Tulip City last time, the count had already given him twenty gold coins as a fund. UU Reading

Really pay attention to people!

Narant gave a big compliment to the earl in his heart.

Not to mention high-quality beer, just 200 catties of monster meat is equivalent to 200 gold coins, and it is estimated that it is the meat of a whole monster.

"Thank you for your generosity!" Narant immediately respectfully shouted into the distance.

After speaking, Narant looked at the earl's personal servant with a smile on his face.

"Your Excellency Peter, how tired you are on the road, let's go to the lobby to talk, and leave it to my butler here!"

As the so-called seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, this Peter is still the personal servant of the earl. Even if he does not have a title, he is considered a great **** by the emperor's side in his previous life.

Narant didn't dare to underestimate him, so he politely invited him into the inner castle.

When they came to the reception hall on the first floor, Narant let Peter sit on the sofa.

Peter had been polite to Narant, claiming that he was just a servant, but he didn't dare to sit on the sofa.

However, Narant just continued to persuade him, but he did not insist.

Obviously, this personal servant has enjoyed more than servant treatment in other places in the past.

After being seated, Narant did not speak in a hurry. After the servant had prepared the tea and cakes, he said, "Your Excellency Peter, you must be very tired to come all the way, let's eat something first! This is the characteristic of my storm leader. Cream cake, I don't know if you are used to eating it!"

"Thank you Sir Narrant, the villain heard about Sir Narrant's birthday cake when he was in the Tulip Castle, and I didn't expect to have the honor to eat it today!"

When Peter saw the cream cake appear, his expression immediately became bright.

Being polite, Peter started to enjoy the cream cake very naturally.
