The Black Duke of the Pirate

The nobles of the kingdom who killed Ge Fu last time knew that the Lehrman family would definitely come back, and the collection of heavenly gold from Bell Tower Village had not yet been completed, so they would not give up.

But there is currently no better solution, we can only take it one step at a time.

Just like what Dorag said in the original work, everything that happened here is just a microcosm of the entire world. Similarly, what happened in Bell Tower Village, including but not limited to the conflicts and contradictions in the collection of heavenly gold, is just a microcosm of the entire world.

Mingxiao had a plan in his mind a long time ago. Combining the oppression of common people by nobles in the pirate world and the life and death of a series of refugees, he was ready to take advantage of the trend to do something big. Perhaps this was the best opportunity to start from scratch. He was reborn six years ago.

In the 1990s, I have long understood that this is a real world, and if you want something, you must fight for it with your own hands.

He had a comprehensive plan in mind.

"Let's go, let's reorganize the brewery plan first."

He spent a whole night developing the preliminary planning process for the brewery.

Start-up capital is also a problem. Although it is much stronger than the treasures of the Archie Pirates, it is probably not enough. Moreover, another plan that was suddenly conceived just now also requires a lot of money.

He plans to complete the preliminary plan for the brewery first and then make other plans.

So he took Roentgen and Bratt to the tavern, found a remote corner, and spread out the paper recording the entire planning process on the table.

The first step was to choose the location of the brewery. He chose the chaotic port city and defense town at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, which was affiliated with the Kingdom of Polkaya.

The island where Polkaya is located is ring-shaped and is the largest island in the North Sea. In addition, there are two other kingdoms on the island, namely Maple Leaf Kingdom and Utan, which are rich in maple leaves.

The Kingdom of Polkaya is the largest in area and is located in the southwest of the island. It occupies a central position and is close to the other two countries. The city defense town is located at the junction of the three countries, but it belongs to the territory of Polkaya.

It was precisely because of this unexpected incident of heavenly gold that Mingxiao had the idea to build a brewery in Chengfang Town. Chengfang Town is a natural seaport and is located at the junction of the Three Kingdoms. It is very popular, with the sea to the west and the Maple Leaf Kingdom thirty miles to the east.

Forty miles to the north is Utan, and fifteen miles to the southwest is the royal city of Polkaya, a natural trading port and a must-have for merchants.

It is hard to imagine that such a perfect geographical location has ended up in such extreme poverty that there is not even a chamber of commerce.

According to the preliminary idea, Dawn will take the lead in establishing a brewing factory in Chengfang Town, with Chengfang Town as the center, and gradually radiate to the three countries, and then use the Three Kingdoms as the logistics basis to sell the brewed liquor to the Great Sea Route.

Another purpose of choosing a city defense town is that as the captain of the city defense soldiers, Brat can avoid some armed conflicts. After all, development is the last word, and fighting all day long will not be good for the economy.

Neither Röntgen nor Brat had any objections. In their opinion, the city defense town was obviously the most suitable place to build a factory.

The second step in the planning process is the breakdown of the brewing process: material selection, fermentation, distillation and blending.

This series of processes was broken down into many steps by him, but he did not write much about the specific proportions and detailed processes.

Seeing this, Mingxiao began to reorganize the improved brewing process, and then started to implement it in front of Röntgen and Bratt.

"Brother, do you want to help?" Röntgen asked in confusion as he saw Mingxiao carrying several large buckets of materials.

Dawn shook her head: "You can record whatever I say later, every word."

He wants to record this series of processes, which will also help with future improvements.

There is no shortage of distilled liquor in the world of pirates. The rum that pirates often drink is distilled liquor with sweet potato molasses as the raw material. However, the selection of raw materials and the process flow are different from those of liquor, so although rum does not have much reference value

, but it provides some ideas for Mingxiao’s liquor brewing.

He slightly changed his thinking on the raw materials. He removed the barley, buckwheat and glutinous rice, leaving only four main materials: corn, rice, highland barley, and sorghum. Considering that the pirate world is mainly rum, Mingxiao added sweet potatoes.

Molasses, but in a very small proportion, is only used as a decoration to add a hint of sweetness to the fragrance.

Based on the memory of his previous life and the summary of five years of research, Mingxiao divided the brewing process into fermentation, distillation, and blending. Fermentation was broken down into six processes, namely 1. Crushing the proportion of raw materials, 2. Selection and addition of ingredients, 3. Cooking.

Gelatinization, 4. Cooling after cooking, 5. Mixing the fermented fermented rice and adding koji and distiller’s sake, 6. Fermentation.

He started to work. First, he distributed the proportion of raw materials, crushed them step by step, blended the previously prepared distiller's yeast into it, then added the new sweet potato molasses and starch in proportion, and finally added water.

The water is not seawater, but taken from an underground spring five miles away from the mountains behind Chengfang Town. It is natural mineral water, which is most suitable as the source of wine making. This is why he envisioned building the factory in Chengfang Town.

one.

After all this is completed, start the fire at dawn and cook the ingredients. It takes about five hours. After the cooking is completed, it begins to cool naturally.

It took half a day to cool down, and Dawn was not idle during this half-day. In order to remove the impurities, harmonize the aroma, and reduce the spiciness, he blended the previously brewed liquor.

Blending is also a tedious project, but he has no experience in blending because it is a scientific and tedious process. He just adds water and adjusts the fragrance based on his feeling.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, the basic blending was finally completed. I took a sip at dawn and found that the alcohol taste was still a bit strong, so I continued to place it in a cool place and wait for it to evaporate.

The cooling of the raw materials was finally completed. He put the wine barrel filled with raw materials into the fermentation tank and finally sealed it. It would take at least two weeks of fermentation before the next step of distillation could be carried out.

He is not a winemaker, but he has done some research on wine in his previous life, so he was able to rely on the impressions in his memory and spent five years trying to figure out the current recipe.

"Brother, do you think we can really make a fortune by doing this?" Röntgen obviously didn't believe it. The mess that was put in the barrel before was just some crushed grains mixed with water and starch.

He obviously didn't understand the meaning of fermentation, and naturally he didn't know that winemaking was an extremely rare profession. At least in the six years since Mingxiao came to this world, he had never seen a professional winemaker.

Dawn smiled and clapped her hands: "Of course."

He picked up the paper Roentgen recorded and read it for a while, and then began to improve it. The two of them did not disturb him and waited quietly.

It took about an hour to finally finish.

"These brewing processes need further improvement." Mingxiao suddenly sighed: "Although I have researched these things, after all, my brewing talent is too low. If there is a professional brewer, the whole process should be better

It went much smoother.”

Brewing also requires talent. As a reborn person, you are extremely lucky to inherit the superb swordsmanship talent of the owner of this body.

"I'll try to find one for you." Brat was silent for a while and then said.

Dawn nodded: "Okay, there's no rush in this matter. Let's continue studying and straighten out the whole process."

Time passed very quickly. They spent three whole days researching without leaving home. Except for working hours, Brat was at Mingxiao's residence. After some sorting, the plan of the entire brewery was finally revealed. Now

Just waiting for implementation.

"Brother Mingxiao, are you looking for me?" Mozer stood at the door, followed by six pirates led by Eugene.

The six people who were originally pirates are now managed by Moser at dawn.

After entering the house, Dawn divided one third of the treasure and gave it to Mozer.

"This is?"

"I'll give you a list. You can buy according to it. The money should be enough." Mingxiao smiled.

Moser took the list and the treasure, which was worth at least ten million beli. After a series of instructions at dawn, he left with the six people.
