The fermentation went smoothly and there were no problems until the end. It fermented very well.

This allowed Xu Zhixin to feel at ease and let the workers start smoking and roasting after the fermentation was completed.

Smoking and roasting means putting the raw materials in the vat onto the fire. The fire temperature is very important and you must control the fire well. It will not work if the fire is too big or too small.

After the smoking and roasting is completed, it is time to soak it in vinegar, also known as pouring vinegar. In this step, a large sieve should be placed at the bottom of the raw material, and then boiling hot water should be added to the raw material. At this time, what flows out of the sieve can be called vinegar, but the vinegar is not yet ready.

Put fennel, pepper, star anise, etc. in the pot, then pour vinegar into the pot, and you can make vinegar of various flavors.

After pouring the vinegar, because it is new vinegar and contains more water, it has to be dried in the sun. After it has been dried, the vinegar is ready and can be eaten, and naturally it can be sold.

The whole process of making vinegar takes more than twenty days. Fortunately, until the vinegar is completely made and ready to eat, everything goes smoothly without encountering any problems or difficulties.

After the vinegar was ready to eat, Xu Zhixin kindly gave each employee a pound of vinegar, asking them to take it home and try it, and even gave the Cheng family ten pounds of vinegar.

"Girl Zhixin, why did you give us so much vinegar? I'm afraid we'll have to eat it for several months." Cheng Guozhong was briefly surprised when he saw the ten kilograms of vinegar Xu Zhixin placed in front of him, then laughed.

"Vinegar can be stored for a long time, so you don't have to worry about it going bad." Xu Zhixin smiled. "I just don't know what this vinegar tastes like. What do you think? I tasted this vinegar in the factory before and it tasted pretty good."

The aroma of this vinegar is really pungent. She thinks it smells better than any vinegar she has tasted since she came to this world.

But she hasn't tasted the vinegar yet.

"This vinegar smells good! It should taste good too!" Cheng Guozhong took one of the vinegar bottles in front of him, opened it, sniffed it, and praised.

"Let's try it and see if the vinegar tastes good!" Liu Cuihua on the side said with a smile. "Jinxiu, go get a pair of chopsticks and let's dip them in the vinegar and taste it."

She hadn't tasted vinegar yet either.

"Okay, Mom!" Liang Jinxiu immediately went to get a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Xu Zhixin. "You are our factory director, you should be the first to taste the taste of our vinegar."

"Okay." Xu Zhixin took the chopsticks with a smile, put them into the vinegar bottle, dipped them in the vinegar, then took them out and put them in her mouth to taste it.

Sour! Not only sour, but also slightly fragrant!

Tastes as good as it smells!

good!

She might have some talent in this area. She had never made vinegar before. This was the first time. She didn't expect that the vinegar she made would taste so good when she led everyone to make it for the first time.

If vinegar has this flavor, there will be no problem selling it.

"How does it taste?" Liang Jinxiu and other members of the Cheng family stared at Xu Zhixin curiously.

"You'll know once you try it." Xu Zhixin smiled mysteriously, deliberately keeping the other person in suspense. She put the tip of the chopsticks into the boiled water that Liang Jinxiu had poured for her to drink, as a way of washing them, and then handed the chopsticks to Cheng Guozhong.

"Uncle, please taste this vinegar and give me some comments."

Seeing that the chopsticks had been rinsed in water, Cheng Guozhong put the tip of the chopsticks into the vinegar bottle, then took it out and tasted it, and immediately his eyes lit up.

"This vinegar is great! It has just the right sour taste, and a hint of fragrance... The vinegar I've eaten before never had such a fragrance." Cheng Guozhong praised.
