Chapter 31 Breaking Flowers and Picking Wine
The so-called sake picking is the last of the four major processes in winemaking.
The master guarding the customs must be experienced, able to pinch the head, go to the tail, watch and taste in the middle, and with the details, the wine will be divided according to the degree and quality.
The hardest part of this is timing. If it is too early, it will be expensive, and if it is too late, it will be ruined, and if there is a slight difference, the hook aging will become nonsense.
The subtlety of picking wine can only be understood if you have been immersed in the wine shop for many years, have the guidance of a famous teacher, and have talent.
At the moment, the master is not there, and if no one picks it, this retort will be ruined. What's even more terrifying is that the lees in the cellar have been taken out, and if this retort is destroyed, you can imagine what will happen next.
For a while, everyone was dumbfounded, and a few were even more anxious like ants on a hot pot, complaining that the old lady had driven people away.
"What's the use of talking about this now?" the old lady said, "If any of you have a way, speak quickly!"
Uncle Wen was furious: "The cellar has been opened, and the mess is all mixed up, who can do anything at this time? Just take this year's hard work, and the money spent inside and out, all thrown into the stinky ditch!"
The rest of the people did not shy away from it: "Originally, I didn't earn as much as before, but now I have to take out the money to give you money. 」
The old lady was so squeezed by so many people that she couldn't answer, and it took a long time to say, "It's a big deal, it's not like our Wen family can't afford to lose this money......".
"What Wen family, we have to make it clear," Uncle Wen quit, "If this money is blind, it will naturally have to be deducted from your monthly profit." Those of us who didn't make a living in the first place, and if we still shared the losses of the winery, we wouldn't be able to live even more. 」
The old lady was so angry that her hands trembled, "When the wine shop made money, you knew that you would divide it, but now you have lost money, but you want me to be alone, how can there be such a reason?"
Uncle Wen sneered, and simply tore his face: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lost this money!" I knew that the wine shop was about to be released, and I drove the master away, I still wondered how capable you are to deal with tomorrow's situation, but it turned out that you did all the stupid things, waiting for others to wipe your ass. The second one, after so many years, you really live more and more back!"
The old lady was scolded so angry that her eyes were red, she opened her mouth for a long time, and she didn't know how to refute, "Forget it, you are poor, but my son can make money back......
She was forced to be helpless, and planned to deduct the money, but her grandfather rushed to stop her: "Can't forget it, mother!"
The old lady was surprised, and Wen Ti knelt on the ground: "This is the first time I have negotiated a business, and I must not forget it!" Mother, son, please go to the master yourself, it will be useful, you go and apologize to him, you go and beg him! Yes, as long as you go to him, he will definitely remember the old love......
「...... Ti, Ti'er. The old lady looked at her son in disbelief, and trembled.
"What...... What do you say?"
At this time, not only the old lady was completely panicked, but everyone in the Wen family questioned one after another.
When the old lady heard this, she immediately got out of the state of the six gods and no masters, as if she had finally found the source of the matter, and even pulled the bell that had not stood far away, "What kind of heart do you have? Why do you spread this!"
The bell was frightened, and the old lady raised her hand and gave him a slap, "It's all up to you!" said ...... start again.
Bai Yuan stepped forward decisively, stopped her directly, shook it hard, protected the bell behind him, and said, "Old lady!
The water in the pot was boiling and tumbling, and it was noisy as if it were urging life.
The old lady was thrown on the ground, as if she couldn't bear it anymore, looked at the bucket above the pot, and howled: "What can I do about this, why did you die earlier than me, you threw our mother and son here......
She had no complaints, and even scolded her deceased husband.
The bell was next to it, and half of his face was already swollen. Bai Yuan swept his aggrieved and resentful eyes, and the anger in his heart burned, and he suddenly decided to take care of the Wen family's affairs for Old Man Wen.
He leaned down, his elbows fell on his knees, and then he raised his eyes, his eyes full of cold light: "Isn't it wine, I can help you pick it." 」
The old lady immediately stopped crying.
"But there are conditions. Bai fell and said.
The person on the other side eagerly said, "What do you want?
"Reward?" Bai Yuan sneered: "Listen, it's not you who reward me now, it's me who will reward you with a chance to continue to have no worries about food and clothing." 」
The old lady didn't understand for a while, and the people around her were even more surprised.
Bai Yuan slowly stretched out his finger and made his own conditions: "One, the business of the Wen family and the Yu family will be stopped, and they will never be mentioned again. 」
The old lady nodded, without hesitation.
Bai Fall's finger stretched out again, "Two, the slap you just gave my brother just now, let me hit it back. 」
As soon as she finished saying this, the old lady's eyes froze obviously, and she could hardly believe what she had heard.
The Wen family's voices of opposition and rebuke also rang out, and they all said that he was disrespectful, and even Wen Shen advised: "Bai Fall, this is too much. 」
The persuaded person just gave his owner a hasty look, then got up and lowered his eyes and threatened: "It's okay if you don't agree, you can watch these wines be wasted, and then give Tai Yongde away." 」
After saying that, he paced, "I used to beg for food, and I know what it's like to be hungry and wait for someone to throw the soup in my face. Old lady, I advise you, no matter how many slaps you take, it is stronger than that taste. 」
Every time he said a word, he took a step beside the old lady, and with every step, the old lady's shoulders shook.
Wen Shen wanted to persuade him again, but Bai Yuan's eyes moved lightly and pressed him back again.
This detail did not escape the eyes of the old lady, she had a bottom in her heart, trembling and holding on, she reluctantly got up, gritted her teeth and responded: "You fight! The old man has been a businessman from the front, he can bend and stretch, as long as you can save Tai Yongde, the old man is willing to suffer this humiliation!"
Bai Cheng did not hesitate, raised his hand and hit, "snapped", and slapped it the master's face!
The old lady was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, she suddenly became hysterical: "How dare you! How dare you......
Bai Yuan raised his leg and kicked him to his knees, and gave him another slap with his backhand, "The old lady is old and has a high seniority, so she has to take it on behalf of her mother. 」
"You wretched!" the old lady was so angry that she picked up her crutches and was about to hit someone again.
Bai Yuan grabbed in front of her, picked up his arms, and slapped him sturdy!
"If you scold, I'll hit him once, and the old lady can see if it's your mouth or my hands. Bai Yuan said, slowly and steadily getting down her crutches, "This thing has already taken away the master, and it will fall on me again, Tai Yongde is afraid that it will be scattered today." 」
Fang Cai's fear seemed to come back in an instant, and the old lady's eyes turned twice in a panic, and suddenly thought of the last straw: "Shen'er, Shen'er, take care of him quickly, your brother can't be beaten or punished!"
Wen Shen not far away stood with his hands down, and his attitude was extremely deferential: "Mother, the wine in the retort barrel is still waiting to be picked, please think about Tai Yongde, as long as you don't entangle, Bai Shen will not be embarrassed." 」
The old lady understood what he meant, and fell to the ground in an instant, "Good, good, you are really a good proprietor of Tai Yongde! 」
Bai Yuan glanced at the mother and son of the Wen family on the ground, bent down and put the cane in front of the two of them, and walked to the retort bucket, waving his arm to cover the retort.
After the sound dissipated, the whole world fell silent with his heart.
The young man standing in front of the retort had a calm and solemn face, and his body exuded a kind of inappropriate age, but convincing and sophisticated.
"Come over here and help. Wine glasses, set the altar. And he said this to the second son and to the bell.
There is already wine flowing out of the bottom of the retort, which is clear and transparent, and the refraction is shadowy.
All the farces of Fang Cai are just to wait for this big event that cannot go wrong, so everyone around them is holding their breath one by one, so nervous that they dare not take a breath in the atmosphere.
Only white degenerates
Ran, watching the wine drip to the ground, with a click, the water splashed in all directions, and the column of wine suddenly increased, gathering a puddle in a very short time.
He rolled up his sleeves, saw the opportunity, and kicked the white cloth of the wine jar over.
The big wine fell on the altar, and the buzz was everywhere.
"Broken flowers and wine!" The crowd exclaimed, and then gasped.
Bai fell deaf, bent over, swirled the small cup in his hand, and then steadily caught the wine rolling down.
The wine overflowed the glass, stirring up a layer of cool, transparent, bean-sized hops, which disappeared before it could be seen.
As soon as he connected the three glasses, the hops on the cups changed slightly, and he immediately commanded in a deep voice, "Change the altar!"
The second son quickly removed the wine jar, and a man next to him quickly put another one.
This time, the cup went up again, and the hops seemed to be smaller, and they paused in the cup for a moment before they broke one by one.
Bai Yuan waited quietly, staring at the cup without blinking, and before everyone could see the clue, he suddenly got up, "Change again!"
The second son did not hesitate, stretched out his hand to move, and the bell was quick to change the wine jar.
This time, Bai Cheng didn't shoot as fast as before, the cup stretched out, and the hops on the face were already like millet, and they stopped in the cup without breaking, enough for everyone to take a closer look.
After a few glasses, he turned over his hand and buckled the cup, his eyes full of certainty: "Change." 」
The second son and the bell did as they were told.
The wine entered the altar, but the noise had become softer.
"Picked up. In just a few back and forth, the crisis was broken.
Everyone in the Wen family was stunned, and they still didn't come back to their senses.
Bai Yuan withdrew his hand, the wine flowed fast, he couldn't avoid it, and his sleeves were still wet in the end.
Before he could finish putting his sleeves down, Uncle Wen stepped forward a few steps, grabbed him, and asked in disbelief, "Break the flowers and pick the wine...... How could you be at your age?"
