Traveling through 70's wine

Chapter 124 Design

Wen Qing went to the backyard, found Wang Jianguo, took him to the wine cellar, and said, "This 2000 kilograms is a 30-year-old strong-flavor wine, and this 2000 kilograms is a 10-year-old light-flavor wine."

He then said, "I have bought a kind of white clay and a kind of yellow clay, both for making cellar mud. They have already been put into the winery. You ask someone to apply the mud to the wine."

In the past, it took more than ten years to build a wine cellar, but now we have adopted the method of artificially cultivating cellar mud, so that the wine cellar can be built in a shorter time and winemaking can begin.

Wang Jianguo took out a wine bucket, took out some from the three-year base wine, five-year aged wine and thirty-year aged wine respectively, poured them into a ceramic jar and mixed them, then took out the wine and poured it into three cups, handing one to Wen Qing, one to himself and one to Liu Quan.

In order to blend the best wine, Wang Jianguo visited nearby wineries during this period, found old masters to learn the tricks of blending liquor, and obtained different recipes. He sorted out several commonly used ones, and this time he made it according to one of the recipes.

After Wen Qing tasted it, she felt that it was a little different from before. It was sweet at first and the cellar aroma was more obvious.

After hearing this, Liu Quan nodded and felt that Wang Jianguo's skills had improved.

Wen Qing took out the wine bottles and filled them with ten bottles, preparing to give them as gifts after school starts.

Wang Jianguo was very happy to receive everyone's recognition.

Wen Qing brought back 2000 kilograms of -year-old wine, which gave Wang Jianguo confidence in improving the quality of Changxia Special Brew, and he immediately began blending.

Wen Qing has already installed the filling machine and capping machine bought from Gangcheng in the new winery. There is only a small filling machine and capping machine in the backyard.

This time they blended a larger amount, so Wen Qing asked them to use a new bottling line, so that the liquor packaged in screw-cap bottles appeared to be more high-end.

Wang Jianguo asked the workers to move the wine he needed to the bottling line, and he blended it according to the proportions himself. This time he filled 5 bottles of liquor, which was enough for the winery to sell for a while.

When school started, Wen Qing carried her things to Professor Xu's office and waited outside for a while until there was no one in his office. Then she went in, bowed to Professor Xu, explained her purpose, put the wine on the table, and left.

Professor Xu was very surprised to think that his students were actually making wine. He took it in his hand and looked at it. It was "Changxia Special Brew", 53 degrees, and the packaging was quite decent.

Wen Qing went to the school-run factory again and found Director Li. Director Li usually liked to have a drink, and was very welcoming of the homemade liquor that Wen Qing mentioned. He took it and looked around, then said with a smile: "Xiao Wen, let me help you taste it."

Wen Qing thought that she needed to make fruit wine. Ordinary fruit wine was not as popular as sparkling wine. If she wanted to expand overseas markets in the future, she still had to make sparkling wine, and she still lacked some equipment.

So he said to Director Li: "Director Li, I want to make some winemaking equipment. Is that okay with you?"

Director Li thought about it and said, "I wonder what equipment you are going to make, Xiao Wen?"

Wen Qing said: "It is a pressure brewing tank, pressure filling and capping machine."

Director Li was very happy. There was a great demand for packaging equipment in the market. Their school-run factory now only served the school's teaching and made some simple experimental products. It had always lacked core products. If Wen Qing could design the packaging equipment, the development of the school-run factory would be much smoother in the future.

So he said, "Xiao Wen, as long as you can design it, we will definitely make the product."

Wen Qing was actually still unsure, so she thanked Director Li and left quickly.

When she arrived at the classroom, she was still worried. The pressure tank was easy to design, but how to design the pressure filling equipment still required more thought.

This semester is my senior year and there are only a few professional courses, leaving students with more time. Last semester, Wen Qing was still ranked first in the grade, but she was not on the scholarship list.

Wen Qing no longer cared. Anyone who asked about this kind of evaluation with vague standards would be asking for humiliation.

In her spare time, Wen Qing devoted herself to product design. What she wanted to produce was an isobaric filling and capping machine. The glass bottles would be inflated before filling to make the pressure in the bottles the same as the pressure in the pressure fermentation tank, and then the carbonated wine would be injected into the bottles. It is suitable for filling liquids such as soda, beer, and carbonated wine.

Wen Qing spent two months, consulting countless materials, making repeated revisions, and drawing hundreds of drawings before finally finalizing the design of the filling and capping machine.

The product she designed consists of three parts. The first part is the bottle washing and drying structure, which consists of a glass bottle conveying group, a water adding and washing island, and a draining and drying box. She uses resistance wire heating.

The second part is the isobaric filling structure, in which the control arm stabilizes the glass bottle on the filling table. There are two injection ports, one for air and the other for liquid. This part requires the use of an air compressor to increase the air pressure, and there is also a filling metering control valve that can control the filling weight or volume.

The third part is the capping or plugging structure, which has a cap transmission tube and a pressure head. When the robotic arm stabilizes the bottle on the capping seat, mechanical pressure is used to compact the cap.

She designed a three-head filling machine, which means it can fill three bottles at the same time.

Wen Qing handed the design drawings to Director Li. After receiving the drawings, Director Li immediately handed them over to the factory technicians and invited Director Xu from the Mechanical Department. Together they analyzed and evaluated the design drawings.

Several people spent a week calculating the process and design parameters, and after suggestions for modification were made, Wen Qing made the modifications.

Director Xu said that this design could be used as her graduation project, so Wen Qing became even more meticulous and attentive.

On the filling and capping machine, she used a single-chip microcomputer as the control unit, adjusted the filling table parameters, and increased the specifications of the glass bottles. This equipment can fill glass bottles ranging from 250ml to 1L. The liquid is injected into the bottle to prevent liquid spilling and better maintain the hygiene of the wine.

After the design draft was handed over to Director Li again, it was finally approved and Director Li arranged for the production of the prototype.

Wen Qing began to care about the decoration of her own yard, and now she has three yards to renovate.

Although Wen Qing was very busy in the past two months, she still found time to harvest the crops in the space, replenish the grain for brewing, and plant the new season's grain. Grain is the foundation, and no matter how busy she was, she never gave up.

All the affairs of the winery were handed over to Wang Jianguo and Liu Quan. She devoted herself to the design of the pressure filling machine. Even when Zhuang Xian came back from Ji Zhong on May Day, the two of them only had a meal together.

Now that the design is complete, she can finally relax.

Wen Qing went into the courtyard. Originally, she only used one room in this courtyard. This time, she bought a flush toilet in Gangcheng and now she has refitted the bathroom with a flush toilet.

She took out the furniture bought from Hong Kong City from the space and decorated the living room so that she could live here in the future.

Wen Qing found Master Hu and heard him say that Zhuang Xien's house had been repaired. Wen Qing nodded. She had been very busy since the New Year and had no time to go there. After all, it was Zhuang Xien's house.

Knowing that Master Hu did not have any new projects at the moment, Wen Qing asked him to renovate No. 48 Majia Lane and the second courtyard by Yulin Lake. No. 48 Majia Lane was sold to her by Master Hu on behalf of the owner.

Wen Qing took Master Hu to see the two houses. They had been bought for more than two years and looked very dilapidated as no one lived in them.

Wen Qing now had money in her hands, and said to Master Hu: "Master Hu, these two houses have a history of 70 or 80 years, maybe even longer. The walls and beams need to be replaced, and the wires and pipes need to be re-laid. I want to renovate them."

These two courtyards are just ordinary residential buildings and have no commemorative significance. There is no need to preserve them, and there is no problem with rebuilding them.
