Chapter 341: Foreboding
The guys in the lounge of the wine shop were very busy, everyone was very anxious, and the guy who sent the letter to Kui Jiu came over in a hurry, "Young shopkeeper! You are back!" The shopkeeper got down from the wine table, and just returned to the lounge of the wine shop and fell to the ground, unconscious, everyone pinched people, put hot towels, and poured hangover medicine.
If the shopkeeper can vomit out, that's the best, but no matter how much he tosses, he just won't vomit! This really makes us feel a lot of headaches, if we don't vomit, the wine will nest in the stomach and can't come out. We even thought of pouring more tea on him to relieve his hangover, but it still didn't work, and he just stayed in a coma after taking the medicine. What do you think is going to be?"
Kui Jiu didn't listen, this heard that his father was always in a coma, his heart was very anxious, he hurriedly came to his father's bed, looked at the pale and puffy face, and felt that his father's physical condition was not optimistic, he complained in his heart, guys, everyone is like this, why don't you invite Lang Zhong to come over and take a look? However, looking at the anxious and worried expressions of these guys, his heart softened again, "Pony, hurry up and find Lang Zhong to show the shopkeeper!"
The guys were busy, and Kui Jiu reminded them that yes, please Lang Zhong! The pony went out non-stop.
After a while, an old man with a gray beard and over the age of sixtieth birthday was invited, and he put the medicine box on the table, hurried to Lao Kui, put his fingers on his wrist, and checked his pulse.
After a while, he shook his head helplessly, got up and picked up the medicine box and prepared to leave.
Everyone waited very anxiously, never thinking that this Lang Zhong would not even say a word, and was ready to leave, as if he did not even intend to collect the consultation fee. This also made everyone very confused.
Kui Jiu hurriedly stepped forward, blocked Lao Langzhong's way, and asked anxiously: "Sir, is my father okay? Why did you shake your head just now? Is there anything bad to say? It doesn't matter! There are no outsiders here, but it doesn't matter if you say it, as long as you can cure my father's illness, it doesn't matter how much it costs." ”
Lang Zhong shook his head helplessly, "Young shopkeeper! This is not a matter of money! Your father's pulse is weak, his spleen and stomach are completely damaged, and his days are running out, so he is still busy preparing for the future! As for this consultation fee, I don't take a penny, after all, there is no medicine to cure, even if Zhongjing and Hua Tuo are alive, they are still lacking in skills, and there is nothing they can do! You don't want to waste your mind anymore. ”
After hearing this, Kui Jiu and the guys were also stupid there, they couldn't believe that this was true, after all, the shopkeeper was physically strong on weekdays, and rarely got sick, it was the wine that was drunk too much today, and injured the internal organs, which caused him to be terminally ill, and the guys hated those people who set up a situation to frame the shopkeeper from the bottom of their hearts, if they didn't encourage these customers to pour so much wine into the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper would not be like this.
Kui Jiu's tears flowed, and he clung to the placket of Lao Langzhong's clothes, and fell down on his knees and begged bitterly: "Sir, you must save my father! He has always been in good health! But after drinking two more cups today, it will be like this! As long as his illness can be cured, we will not hesitate to do anything even if we have a thousand daughters!"
"As I just said, it's not about money, it's about things in the world sometimes, things that can be solved with money
Often, it's not a thing, and the most difficult thing to do is something that can't be solved with money, and that's really a big thing! You're right, judging from the pulse, your father's health is indeed very good, but he is by no means a matter of drinking two more glasses, his internal organs have been seriously damaged by the stimulation of this wine, and there is really no way to cure it! You have this time to beg me, so you might as well be busy preparing for him!" Lang Zhong explained bitterly, and then walked away.
Kui Jiu was paralyzed on the ground, crying like a tearful person, the news of Lao Kui's death came out quickly, and for a while these customers were also surprised, they were still drinking with everyone that day, why did this person say that he was gone?
The news of Lao Kui's death soon reached the ears of Zhang Yuelai of Yuelai Wine Workshop, and he was so happy in his heart! But don't mention it, he pondered in his heart, making you proud, aren't you having a hot business? Don't you make a lot of money? Now let you see the king of Hades naked, so that all the money you have worked hard for in your life is in vain, you don't bring it in life, and you don't bring it in death. Now it's up to you to keep your brewery running. He was very proud in his heart, and the hatred that had been accumulated in his heart for so many years could finally be released. He was full of confidence and was busy with the business of Yuelai Wine Factory.
After Lao Kui's death, Kui Jiu's mother washed her face with tears day and night, crying into tears, her relationship with her wife was too good, this wine shop was also founded by the two of them with great effort, and now the wine shop is still there, this person has passed away. is that the more I think about it, the more sad I become, I don't think about tea and dinner, I can't sleep at night, and I lose weight into a small strip, even if Kui Jiu tries to persuade and enlighten, it is useless. After only a few months, he also followed Lao Kui.
Kui Jiu cried to death again, and in less than half a year, the shopkeeper and his wife both passed away.
The guys are also depressed one by one, the business of this wine shop has been stagnant for more than half a year, and seeing that the customers of the Kui Jiu family have no choice but to go to the opposite Yuelai wine shop to drink, they are even more unhappy in their hearts. Kui Jiu was busy with the aftermath of his parents, keeping filial piety for his parents, during which he did not drink a drop of wine and ate vegetarian food. As a result, the winery was closed. However, he did not let the guys go, but still supported their wages, not only that, but he also doubled the monthly salary of each guy, and these guys followed Lao Kui for so many years.
Therefore, this affection is far more important than the money. He even promised to revive the brewery to its former prosperity. Kui Jiu was also very touched to see the guys so loyal. He knew that there was something more important than money in the world, and that was the love of the years, as well as the hope and longing for the future of the winery.
Time is like an arrow, time is like a shuttle, three years of filial piety have passed, Kui Jiu and the guys can finally manage the reopening of the winery, everyone is in one go, the heart is put in one place, from raw materials, brewing, sales, publicity and other aspects have done enough articles.
What they didn't expect was that after three years, the golden sign of Kuijiu Distillery was charming, and when it opened, the old customers poured in from all directions and lined up in a long line, blocking the street, and the mellow aroma of the wine wafted out from the winery and spread to the whole street, and the customers enjoyed this familiar taste while queuing. The scene of three years ago reappeared at this time, and I have to say that the perseverance of Kui Jiu and the guys made the wine shop rejuvenated.
Distillery
Soon after opening, it was on track, and with that series of repetitive things ensued. Kui Jiu is very busy, in the past, his father planned to handle these large and small affairs, and he just helped him, so he didn't feel anything, but now when this big and small matter completely fell on his own shoulders, he felt an invisible pressure. Compared with the previous physical exertion, this worry is more tiring, after all, it is not an easy task to do everything well.
On this day, he was drinking to the customers in line at the winery, when a strange thing happened.
The gold-lettered signboard of Yuelai Distillery on the opposite side fell to the ground and was cut into two sections. Its storefront was smashed to the eye, it was a mess, and the large and small wine jars in the house were also smashed.
The shopkeeper Zhang Yuelai himself has not opened for three days, and today he wanted to get some good wine from the winery, but when he saw that this good winery was a mess, he was taken aback and hurriedly reported the matter to the official yamen.
The prefect Yamen Xuangao was furious when he heard this, who was so bold and reckless, and dared to smash this wine shop so badly in broad daylight, is there any royal law. He ordered a strict and thorough investigation of the matter.
After some detailed investigation, Xuan Gao started from the motives of the person who smashed it. Analyzing the case, he arranged for someone to investigate in detail the people around the shopkeeper Zhang Yuelai, and the general reaction was that the shopkeeper Yuelai was kind and kind to people on weekdays, and few people couldn't come up with him, and he made friends, fought for righteousness and squandered money, and his popularity was still quite good. As soon as they heard that their storefronts had been smashed, they were all surprised, and what kind of grudge was this? In this way, the motive for this deep resentment should be ruled out.
Xuan Gao considered it from the perspective of the business of this winery, is it possible that it is a grievance between peers? Through the understanding of the situation and the information conveyed by the subordinates, the opposite side of this Yuelai winery is the Nakui Jiujiu winery, after all, this peer is a rival! Of course, this possibility cannot be ruled out. arranged to catch the catch quickly and came to Kuijiu Distillery.
At this time, Kui Jiu was giving wine to the customers, and when he saw the two Pu coming soon, for some reason, he hurriedly asked the guy Pony to take over the guy in his hand and continue to drink to the customers, but he greeted him a little inexplicably, and said very kindly: "Two masters, do you have anything to do with me? This wine in the shop is mellow and delicious, and the two masters can take two jars and taste it casually!"
Kui Jiu has a mirror in his heart, these two must be gluttonous, come to beg for it, this is also something that traders often encounter, who can afford to provoke the people in the yamen! Usually some small favors are inevitable.
The two of them were fat and thin, and the fat and fast expressions were very serious: "Young shopkeeper! You don't have to be busy! Our brothers came to you today for an important matter." Do you know about the smashing of the Yuelai Wine Shop across the street from you?"
When Kui Jiu heard this, he was stunned, and when the store opened in the morning, he saw that the Yuelai Wine Shop opposite was smashed beyond recognition, and he was still a little puzzled in his heart at that time, it was okay yesterday! Why was it smashed like this overnight? He felt very puzzled. However, seeing that the expressions of these two catchers were so serious, they felt the seriousness of the matter, and it was obvious that there was something strange about this matter.
Kui Jiu thought about it, could it be that he had doubts on his head, and an ominous premonition enveloped his heart. ”
