Chapter 414 It’s About to Explode!

What is it like to work overtime at work on Saturday night?

That's probably... everyone doesn't want to work, they all gather around a desk and watch wine making.

The sudden collaboration and the overwhelming amount of work. I probably won’t be able to go back tonight. It’s a long night and there’s a lot of work, so why bother.

Let’s make some wine first.

"Here comes the rice!" Zhou Ye came back with several boxes of rice. Just now, the takeaway boy handed the takeaway to Zhou Ye with great disgust. He only wanted rice with pork ribs and rice, and it was eight portions of rice. What the hell is this?

"Supervisor, yogurt machine!" A girl who cares about health rummaged through the cabinets and found a yogurt machine that had been gathering dust for a long time.

"what else?"

"It's gone!"

A group of people were in a daze around several disposable lunch boxes and yogurt machines.

A yogurt machine, a few boxes of rice...

Is this enough to make wine?

Just kidding?

In this way, you can make wine. What if you ask people to go to the mountains above 2,000 meters above sea level to pick up snow before dawn, melt it in the bluestone, and then wash the rice with 2 degrees cold ice water? What to do with the craftsmanship spirit!

"Try it, it's just idle time anyway."

"We are very busy as supervisors, we are not idle at all."

“Anyway, we won’t be able to finish our work in a short while!”

So, the rice was poured out and put into the yogurt machine. The supervisor tore open the "package" and poured the fermented bacterial colonies into it.

It had a strange number and the well-proportioned strains were poured into the yogurt machine, then stirred with chopsticks for a few minutes, and then put back into the yogurt machine.

Then, a group of people gathered around and watched.

"It seems...no different."

"Yes, the mixing is done, what next?"

"Director, is this a lie? This can make wine!"

"Didn't I say it would take ten hours? Everyone go to work! Go to work!" The supervisor began to drive people away.

A group of people started to get busy again. The employees who shuttled back and forth walked to the yogurt machine from time to time to take a look, and then left with a sigh.

Finally, when another girl walked over, she suddenly said: "Eh...that's not right! Look, everyone! The rice is moldy!"

Suddenly, another group of people gathered next to the yogurt machine.

In fact, the rice in the yogurt machine has already changed.

I don’t know when, clusters of milky white mold appeared on the rice, like small white hairs.

It's just that the light at night is not very good, so no one noticed.

These white furs gather more and more, multiply faster and faster, and eventually turn into balls of cotton-like stuff.

"It's moldy..."

"It can't be that the rice is spoiled!"

"Tell me, who didn't wash their hands just now!"

A group of people immediately started blaming each other.

"Wait a minute..." The supervisor was quite authoritative at this time, "Don't make any noise yet! Maybe this is a normal phenomenon!"

Yes, this is indeed normal.

This white, cotton-like mold is Aspergillus oryzae, a common mold in distiller’s yeast domesticated by Mr. Zhuang.

This is a fungus.

If there is a person with three eyes here, he will definitely see that when the 2g strain mixed with various strains is poured into the rice, the spores of Aspergillus oryzae begin to become active.

In fact, there are various kinds of mold in nature, such as Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium, etc., so unless it is cultivated in the laboratory, usually when mold grows, it will rarely be a simple color. Among the white spots, there are also cyan or black spots.

But in any environment, there will only be one or a few dominant strains of bacteria. This type of Aspergillus oryzae was selected by Dad Zhuang because it has extremely powerful reproductive ability and exclusivity.

When the temperature is suitable, Aspergillus oryzae spores begin to grow into hyphae, and immediately begin to release substances that inhibit the growth of other molds. Before the spores of other molds have time to develop, Aspergillus oryzae has already taken over. status……

Then they began a brutal siege of the city.

Their hyphae are getting longer and longer, weaving more densely, and constantly releasing various enzymes. These enzymes cut cellulose and starch into simple sugars...

I don't know when, a sweet smell suddenly filled the air in the office.

A group of people couldn't help but twitch their noses and returned to the yogurt machine.

"This is..." Everyone was shocked when they saw the scene inside the yogurt machine.

At some point, a large pile of rice turned into an off-white liquid. The upper half was clear, while the lower half contained some turbid white objects.

"so amazing!"

"The rice turned into liquid!"

The girls who had never seen this process were surprised.

"Can you drink it?"

"It feels like an enzyme..."

The sweet taste hit the face, making everyone couldn't help but take a few more sips.

At this time, Aspergillus oryzae has actually withdrawn from the stage of history.

After the various cellulose and starches in the rice are decomposed, Aspergillus oryzae gradually loses the soil in which to live, and the dormant yeast, acetic acid bacteria, and lactic acid bacteria begin to become active.

In fact, this small 2g material package is like containing a well-trained army.

Aspergillus oryzae is like the vanguard death squad. They eliminate almost all other molds and microorganisms, occupy the entire rice battlefield, and transform the rice into a saccharified and liquefied "stock solution". At this time, they are basically They fought until they ran out of ammunition and food.

Fallen flowers are not heartless things. They turn into spring mud to protect the flowers. Even their own bodies have become nutrients for this battlefield.

The walls have fallen and the traps have been cleared.

The cavalry appears!

Amidst the rumbling war drums, the three armies came laughing wildly. Bacteria and yeast began a massacre of seven in and seven out on the flat battlefield!

In front of the yogurt machine, a group of people were sniffing it intoxicatedly.

"I seem to smell honey."

"The taste of White Rabbit toffee when I was a kid."

"It smells a bit like loquat paste."

"The smell of cold medicine..."

"Hey, who farted!"

"who is it!"

"stand out!"

In the midst of blaming each other, everyone retreated hastily, but no one admitted it.

"It seems... the wine made me fart..." Finally, a girl weakly pointed this out.

Everyone immediately stayed away in disgust.

"Who said you have to brew wine in the office!"

"not me!"

"This wine must have been spoiled!"

"Open the window, open the window!"

The office windows were opened, and the smell that filled the room dispersed.

Everyone was fanning themselves, and some were shouting: "Take it, take it! Take it from me quickly!"

Zhou Ye, the culprit, was ordered to do this job. He held his breath and couldn't help but feel discouraged as soon as he picked up the yogurt machine.

Then took a puff.

"Huh?"

Perhaps because of the sloshing of the wine, the rich aroma of the wine suddenly surged out and poured into the nasal cavity. Four hundred and fifty flavors exploded continuously, as if someone had released an olfactory fireworks in his nasal cavity!

At that moment, Zhou Ye felt like his head was exploding!

The smell wafted in, like curls of smoke, drifting out through the window.

Above the office is a conference room, where the company's top executives are discussing cooperation matters with people from Baishuang Winery.

At this moment, a smell of wine drifted in from the window.
