Chapter 14: Is This a Place to Mess Around?
"It's not that I don't care, but I can't care if I don't have evidence. Wen Shu saw that his face had changed, and he hurriedly changed his attitude.
The moldy grain has been buried, and the experts can't find it for a while, and now if they want to find evidence, I'm afraid they can only start from Wen Ti.
Bai Yuan thought of this, and Wen Shu also thought of it, "Don't run around, Ti'er will wake up in a while, I'll ask about that batch of grain, you go back and wait for me first." ”
It was already dawn, and the servants began to clean.
When Bai Yuan came out of the yard, he happened to meet two old mothers who were sprinkling water.
He nodded and said hello, but he still couldn't let go of the koji, but he didn't have a clue, so he could only walk to the granary.
The old man Wu who was in charge of the granary had just gotten up, and when he saw him coming, he asked curiously, "Why didn't the bell come?"
"Wu Bo, can I go in and have a look?" Bai Cheng looked at the granary and discussed with him.
Old man Wu was very refreshing: "If you don't lock it, you can enter by pushing the door." After the song was made in May, Tai Yongde didn't buy new food, and it was empty. ”
Bai Yuan's eyes lit up, and he rushed straight in, plunging headlong into the sack pile.
Soon, he shook out a small pile of wheat grains, which were small, wrinkled, and extremely dark.
This is old grain, old grain for more than three months!
There was a gong sound in the winery in the distance, and Tai Yongde played the song, which was extremely ceremonial.
Bai Yuan grabbed a handful of wheat and put it in his pocket, got up and ran wildly to the cellar.
When he broke down the door, the guy at the brewery was holding the guy to shovel off the mud on the top of the cellar.
"Wait a minute!" shouted the whole room.
The deserted cellar in Suri was full of people at this time, those who worked, those who took care of things, and the masters and servants of the Wen family. And among these people, Bai Yuan only noticed one, his young owner, Wen Shen.
As if he had seen a savior, he rushed forward in a few steps and pinched Wen Shen's wrist, "This song can't be played!"
Wen Shen slowly withdrew his hand, took a half step back, his eyebrows were distant, and asked him, "Aren't you the guy in charge of watching the cellar? Why did you come to work so late?"
“...... I," Bai Cheng didn't expect him to react like this, and he didn't know what to reply for a while.
After Wen Shen asked, he no longer looked at him, but instructed the guy: "Open the seal." ”
"Wen Shen!" Bai Yuan gritted his back molars, "Tell people from Chishui to bring a new song, it's not a day or two!"
Wen Shen looked at him in silence and did not speak.
Instead, the fifth young master Wen Ti clasped his hands and walked out: "Pay attention to your identity and occasion, is this a place where you can mess around?"
Old Madam Wen hung from the corner of her eyes, and her expression was dissatisfied: "When did our Tai Yongde's buddy learn to be so unruly? Shen'er, how did you discipline it?"
The Fifth Young Master turned around and grabbed Old Madam Wen's arm, "Mother, I am in charge of this person, don't worry about him." ”
The old lady's face quickly softened: "You, you have been eclectic since you were a child, and you can get along with your subordinates the most, and make any kind of friends." ”
"That's right," the fifth young master replied with a smile: "If we do business, don't we have to pay all the three sects and nine streams, but we can't be too high." As he spoke, he looked at Wen Shen intentionally or unintentionally, and then said, "A fellow, I can train you when you go back, don't be angry." ”
The old lady nodded lovingly: "My son knows the general situation, it is still important to get down to business, let's open the seal." ”
"Can't be opened!" Bai Yuan dragged the fifth young master, took out the wheat grains from his pocket, and threw them directly in front of his eyes: "Now that it's enlightened, beware of Tai Yongde's signboard falling down and killing you." ”
"How can you talk to the fifth young master!" there was a guy next to him who didn't follow.
Then someone chimed in: "That's right, don't think it's great to have the eldest lady to support you! Before you talk and do things, let's see how many pounds and taels you have." ”
Bai Yuan turned a deaf ear, only stared at the fifth young master and asked, "Is this new grain or old grain?"
"Of course it's new grain," the fifth young master replied quickly, "Besides, even if it's the old grain, what's wrong with it? ”
Bai Fall: "What if it gets moldy?"
“...... You, what nonsense are you talking about?" the Fifth Young Master's eyes flashed unconsciously.
Bai Yuan took a step forward, and his eyes, which had always been moist, deepened, "The taste of wine is all in the song." From Chongyang last year to the present, the people in the entire wine shop have been busy for a year, can you bear to see it being ruined? Fifth young master, I will say it in front, on the day of the wine, can you afford to lose this person, you think about it yourself. ”
The fifth young master lowered his head, and his round eyes kept blinking.
At this moment, Master Wang, who was in charge of the song test, suddenly walked out of the crowd.
He first saluted the old lady, and then said to Wen Shen: "Young master, I'm sorry for you." This year's Daqu is not fermented well, and it is rotten inside, so I still listen to this little brother, take Daqu from Chishui, and then open it. ”
The people around listened and immediately whispered.
The old lady looked even more incredulous: "Master Wang, you are an old man from Chishui, why didn't you say it earlier?"
Master Wang turned around: "Tai Yongde has been in trouble recently, and he has just started in Qianyang, I was confused for a while, and I felt that it was a waste to throw away these big songs, so I shaved the rotten places." But the little brother is right, the ancestors of the winery are all watching, the song can be remade if it is gone, but the reputation is gone, and it will be difficult to stand up again. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the fifth young master immediately raised his head, "Master Wang, although business is difficult to do now, our Wen family is not short of this money, don't you take it as an example, you know?"
"Hey, thank you Fifth Young Master for your kindness. Master Wang bowed his head in response.
The fifth young master shook to Wen Shen's side again, "Fourth brother, since this is the case, I will look at the matter of Kaifeng, so let's change the day." ”
"Don't you explain the matter of the old grain?" Wen Shen turned his face slightly and looked at him with lowered eyes and asked.
The Fifth Young Master's eyes drifted left and right, and finally put on a nonchalant look, "Xu I was deceived, I bought new grain, they saw that I was young and deliberately fooled me with old grain." ”
Wen Shen: "You don't know about the mold?"
"Fourth brother, why do you believe what that person said?" The fifth young master raised his round face and shouted: "He is talking nonsense......"
"Wen Ti," Bai Yuan interrupted him faintly, "I'm paper paste, and when I encounter dirty water, I can't keep it and it will leak." The last two words, biting extraordinarily hard, the threat is self-evident.
The fifth young master was obviously stiff, hesitated unnaturally for a long time, and finally broke the jar and broke it: "I did know that those wheat were moldy for a long time, thanks to this brother's good ability, he found the clue, otherwise the loss of the wine shop would be even greater." On behalf of Tai Yongdeok, thank you very much. ”
The rapid change in his attitude caught everyone off guard, and his words were even more shocking, and even Wen Shu's eyes widened, not to mention the stunned guys around him.
"Did he really get him right?"
"I didn't think that guy had some skills. ”
As soon as Wen Ti finished speaking, he immediately threw himself on the old lady's knees and said in a trembling voice: "Mother, I really have no choice." Master Wang still knows that he feels sorry for our family's money, so how can I not feel sorry? Isn't the process of making koji just making the grain moldy, and who wants to make the difference between mold first and mold later? If I had known that it would affect the wine, I would never have hidden it!"
He spoke earnestly, tears broke down, and the old lady was distressed, rubbed his head and comforted him again and again: "It's okay, it's okay, it's all your father's fault, he never taught you this." ”
After coaxing him, he wiped his tears with a handkerchief, "Just ask your brother to go back and get some big songs, it won't delay anything, not to mention that you are still kind." ”
The fifth young master cried even more fiercely: "Mother, only you can understand your son......"
"Oh, don't cry," the old lady pulled him up, and the two walked out, "How old are you, and you're still crying like this, my mother will take you to wash." ”
The cellar soon fell silent, and the men did not dare to talk about the affairs of the owner, and they all hung their hands and did not speak.
Only Bai Yan stood in the center of the crowd with his eyebrows raised and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Wen Shen walked over, the chill in his eyes had already receded for the most part, "Well done," he said, "These five cellars are all thanks to you." ”
"Don't dare to be. Bai fell but didn't have a good face, "This wine is the credit of all the guys' hard work for a year." ”
"Listen to what people say," Wen Shu followed, complaining to Wen Shen, "Listen to my mother again." The grain was broken, trampled, and fermented, and how many people's mental energy and time were put into it, but as a result, the things made could not be used, and she said that she would not delay anything......"
"Enough. Wen Shen glanced at her.
Wen Shu also realized that what he said was inappropriate, so he didn't dare to contradict it, but said: "Fourth brother, Bai Cheng has made meritorious service this time, should there be some reward?"
Wen Shen nodded, called Shen Zhixing, and said, "Starting tomorrow, take him to the master master to learn how to pick wine." ”
"This ......" Shen Zhixing couldn't believe it: "It's too fast, isn't it?"
Generally speaking, a guy has to work in the winery for three years before the owner will consider changing him to a position where he can learn, and some of the most important processes such as wine picking can even take up to ten years to wait for the opportunity.
Wen Shen took two steps back, distanced himself from everyone, and said loudly: "Everyone comes to me Tai Yongde, in addition to earning some wages to supplement the family, more I want to learn a skill, he has some status in the winery, or if he goes out to set up his own door, he relies on the craft of winemaking, isn't it?"
"Yes!" they replied in unison.
Wen Shen pointed at Bai Cheng and said, "I reward him today so that all of you can understand that anyone who is down-to-earth and willing to work hard and think about the winery, even if he has little qualifications, I am willing to cultivate him." On the contrary, it is those who are casual all day long, cheating and cheating, and no matter how long they work, I will not teach them skills!
"Understood!"
is really a good hand to win people's hearts, Bai Cheng took his eyes off Wen Shen, and sighed to himself, Old Man Wen Wen Zhengren is good at business, and it seems that his son is not bad.
He came out of the cellar silently, and the sun outside had risen high, shining a bright white on the ground.
"The people inside are waiting to congratulate you," Wen Shu also chased after him, "Why did the protagonist leave the scene early?"
