Chapter 30: Are You Still Worthy of Mankind?
"I became addicted to smoking, my family was ruined, and I borrowed a lot of debts, but thanks to the rescue of my old employer, I barely managed to live a new life, but I smoked too much and hurt my body. Li Pingxia said, tearing his clothes even bigger, "Those who smoke harm themselves, but those who grow and sell cigarettes are harmful! My fate is just around the corner, and those who are not afraid of retribution will be able to retribution even if they touch the tobacco soil, and the retribution will not be on you, but it will definitely be retribution on your children and grandchildren!"
He was like a demon skeleton, wandering in the blue sky and white day, with a chill of blood all over his body.
Every sentence, every word, is like a nail, poking at the key point of the Wen family. Everyone was so frightened by him that they lost their minds, and some of the timid even retreated.
The old lady slowly stood up with a cane, then raised her hand and slapped a stick on Li Pingxia's head!
"There are no rules!" she said, "You don't have a face, our Wen family still needs to be faced! I said a long time ago that I can't let you be this master, but the master refuses to listen, what is happening now? You are a big smoker, a guy who lacks virtue and smoked the roots of his descendants, why don't you say that others hurt you when you swallow smoke and spit smoke, *** You have done everything, so you want to come to set up the archway, is it late?"
Li Pingxia was blinded by her, her mouth was open for a long time, and she didn't say a word.
The old lady was disdainful: "Why do you say you stay in our Wen family? It's not that the master pities you! I have been idle all day long, and I have been stealing melons and dates in the room, and I have put up with you." I will tell you today that everyone in the wine shop will turn around if there is no one, and you will sell wine without you!"
The meaning of her words couldn't be more obvious, she wanted to expel Li Pingxia out of Tai Yongde in front of everyone.
Wen Shen hurriedly stopped her: "Mother!"
The clay figure still has three points of fire, Li Pingxia wrapped his clothes tightly, and choked: "I knew that the old lady would not be welcome, but since I made it clear today, then I can't continue to stay in the wine shop to hinder your eyes." 」
He flicked his sleeves after speaking, ignored the gentle dissuasion, and strode out the door.
When the old lady saw him leaving, her expression was very proud, and even her usually rickety waist straightened up, "Everyone is here today, I just happened to teach you the truth clearly, those who bully the master with servants, no matter how great their ability is, our Wen family will not stay!"
Bai Yuan also stayed in the courtyard of the deep mansion before, not without hypocrisy, but at such an age, it is really rare for a master who is still so disrespectful.
The wine will be out tomorrow, and at this time to drive away the master, he can't help but be a little curious, waiting to see how the old lady can end.
After the cruel words on the other side were finished, no one picked them up for a while, and at this time, Yu Wannan, who had seen the excitement from the beginning to the end, stood up and bowed his hand with a smile: "Aunt Wen is really a thunderbolt method, which even my father can't compare. 」
After he complimented him, Fu stepped forward again and signaled to the Wen family behind the old lady: "Based on this alone, Wannan is willing to show the greatest sincerity, there is no need to wait for the tobacco to be transported out of the city, as long as the Wen family agrees to cooperate, I will let the guy go back and bring the Yicheng Li and pay it in advance!"
As soon as the words landed, everyone in the Wen family suddenly exploded, and hurriedly picked up the old lady and Wen Shen one by one.
The more Bai Yuan listened, the amused it became, and threw out a sentence: "Let's discuss it." Then he turned and walked away.
Yu Wannan hurriedly came to stop: "Little Bacchus stays, the business is negotiated, we still have details to discuss." 」
"What details, let me carry the details of the wine?" Bai Yuan glanced at him coldly: "Yu Wannan, do you know how to write the four words of putting the cart before the horse?"
The philistine's voice immediately disappeared, and Yu Wannan was also stunned: "This is ...... I did want to ask the little Bacchus for help in private, but I think the little Bacchus may not want to have too much to do with this matter. Now that Wen Yu is cooperating with the two families, this matter has become Tai Yongde's business, and the little Bacchus doesn't give me face, and it depends on your owner......
"Tsk, it's really the young master who is used to it, and I feel that everyone has to listen to what the master says, right?" Bai Yuan took a step closer and interrupted him, "You can ask them the Wen family, who is worthy of letting me do those dirty things with a clear conscience!"
Yu Wannan was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and Bai Yuan ignored it
He simply turned to the Wen family led by the old lady: "If you want to make this money, the winery can simply be closed, and one person will take a shovel and go home to plant big tobacco! If I remember correctly, during the Jiaqing period, didn't the ancestors of the Wen family rush to farm? But your ancestors rushed to Chishui and planted fiery sorghum. The sand is blowing at the bottom of the cellar, and the name of the sword gu has directly broken into the capital! Look at you again, a hundred years ago, no one has been able to reconcile the taste of the sword Gu so far, right? As a descendant, it doesn't matter if you can't inherit the mantle, even if you lie on the merit book and eat and wait for death, but now you have to push this family into the fire pit, are you still worthy of being a human being?"
He said so much in one breath, and several people on the other side were scolded and turned pale, but Bai Yuan didn't care at all, but raised his hand and pointed directly at the old lady's door: "You just follow her, follow her, and see how she pulls you out of the eyes of money and into the poor sour road of eating chaff." 」
"Anti-...... It's against you......" The old lady panicked, she avoided the direction of Bai Shen's finger, and when she saw Wen Shen in a flash, she seemed to settle down, and scolded: "Look, look at your good fellow!
Wen Shen had been beaten away since Li Pingxia was beaten, and there was a vague anger in his eyes, and when he heard her say this, he tried his best to restrain himself: "Mother, I visited Brother Nan's business, but I came for Bai Yuan. 」
But the words he said still inadvertently brought out the taste of two parts, not so much an explanation as a confrontation.
The old lady struck twice with her crutches and scolded: "Then you go and find a way! Change him, find someone else, and then think of another way! Could it be that our Wen family will not do business without this miscellaneous matter? If you don't have the ability, why should Tai Yongde point to him every day to make money!"
"Let your good son Wen Ti think about it," Bai Cheng interjected, "Look at the King of Qianyang, who has been offended by him inside and out, and now that I know that he wants to smuggle tobacco and soil, will he skin him alive." 」
The old lady was so angry that she trembled, there was the Wen family in front of her, and then there was Yu Nanzan who praised her for governing the family thunder, and now in front of so many people, she was contradicted and disobeyed, she was like crazy, her eyes were split, and she pointed at Wen Shen and asked, "Do you want to drive him away? If you don't, I will die here today!"
As he spoke, he was about to hit the corner of the table, but Wen Shen was in a hurry and rushed up to stop her. The people around were completely frightened, and they swarmed around to comfort the master, and even wiped away their tears.
Wen Shen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, he glanced at Bai Yuan with some fear, and motioned for him to go out first.
Bai Cheng didn't think that things would get to such a point, he took a closer look at the crowd, and made sure that the old lady didn't bump into it, so he was ready to follow the instructions of the owner and avoid the limelight first.
But before he walked out on the front foot, the second son on the back foot hurriedly squeezed into the inner courtyard.
As if he hadn't seen Bai Fall, the second son walked around twice, as if he was looking for someone, but he didn't find it. In the end, he couldn't, so he had to force himself next to Wen Shen, "The owner, the wine is up, what about the master?"
A group of people gathered around the old lady in the yard, and after asking questions, everyone grabbed a word and I spoke, and it was so noisy that it was like the yard was crowded with ducks.
Wen Shen naturally didn't hear clearly, and he asked, "What?"
The second son didn't care about it, immediately pulled up his neck, and shouted, "The wine is up, the time is coming soon, what about the master?"
After this shouting, everyone stopped talking.
Standing up cautiously, his face turned pale, "Who let Shang Gong?"
"Great, master. The second son didn't know why.
After the lees are fermented in the cellar, they are mixed with steamed chaff shells according to the ratio of each family's secret recipe, and everything is distilled in retort barrels.
From the beginning of the retort to the end of distillation, it is only half an hour at most, and then the master must stay by the side to pick the wine, and there is no delay for a moment.
Wen Shen pulled his legs and ran to the retort, and Bai Yuan followed.
Those elders of the Wen family had all entered the wine shop earlier, and when they knew that this matter was serious, they all nervously followed.
The firewood crackled in the retort room, the water in the pot gurgled loudly, and the men who worked were shirtless, some holding bamboo baskets to mix
Some of them are staring at the water vapor, and some are busy spreading white cloth on the wine jar.
The retort on the far left had already been pressed into the fermented grain, and a few steps away, next to another pot, two men were cooperating with each other to retort.
What made Bai Cheng strange was that the bell was also running before and after it, busy with his life.
As soon as Wen Shen entered the door, the ice ballast between his eyebrows and eyes never disappeared. Uncle Wen was even more angry, grabbed a guy and asked, "Didn't you say that you would have a drink tomorrow?
The guy was stunned for a moment before replying, "It's the master's meaning, before he went out, he discussed with a few masters in charge, and said that the day of the wine should be back anyway, so don't delay it any longer." As he spoke, he pointed to the bell, "Not long after the master went out, the boy came to pass the word. 」
Uncle Wen turned his face and said, "You, come here." 」
Bell shrank her shoulders in fright and walked closer.
"What did Li Pingxia say?" Uncle Wen asked fiercely.
The bell trembled, and Bai Cheng knew that he had always been afraid of officials, so he hurriedly went over to protect him, and asked in a good voice, "What's going on?"
"I was wandering around outside with nothing to do, and I happened to meet the master who hurried to the account room. The bell stopped shaking, but his expression was still nervous, "He asked me to tell everyone about it, I don't understand it, so I'll pass on a message......
Uncle Wen jumped to his feet after hearing this: "Okay, Li Pingxia, just drive him away, I think he is sincerely ruining our wine!"
"What can I do about this? Wulong's contract has been signed, and not a drop of these cellars of wine can be missing. Ye was so anxious that he shook his hands, "Fourth brother, you call someone quickly, and get him back first." 」
Wen Shen frowned: "It's useless. 」
"Mother, mother!" Seeing that Wen Shen didn't care, he didn't know what to do, so he grabbed the old lady instead: "This is the first time I have negotiated a business, it can't be so yellow! Mother, you can help me think of a way." 」
The incident happened suddenly, and the old lady was also caught off guard, and when he begged, she was even more speechless.
The guys also understood that something was wrong at this time, and hurriedly put down their things and wanted to run outside, but Wen Shen stopped them, "It's too late. 」
As soon as he finished speaking, the man who was guarding the retort next to him got up and said, "Boss, this wine must be picked. 」
