An Yun Yingsuke held the white porcelain wine bottle tightly, as if it was his life, and he was not embarrassed at all about the chaos caused by his son in the store, but just frowned and pondered there - this doesn't make sense, there are several wine tasting conferences every year, how come this kind of wine has never been tasted, never seen, or even heard of?

Kitahara Shuji ignored him and continued to greet guests, and An Yun Yingsuke thought for a long time and still couldn't say anything about this wine, and finally asked Kitahara Shuji: "Kitahara-kun...... No, General, where is this wine produced?"

Kitahara Shuji was laughing with an old customer, and he didn't bother to answer for a while, and Haruna said quietly, "It's made by my general." ”

They have a license, so there's nothing to shy away from, and even if they don't, it doesn't matter – about 10 in 10 izakaya sell their own sake, and many people in the countryside also sell their own wine, plum wine, and the like to the city, and no one cares about it.

The government is going to collect a liquor tax, but the liquor tax is mainly aimed at large liquor manufacturers such as sake breweries, and if you brew 30 bottles or 50 bottles at home, even if you report it, it is a verbal education, and even the wine will not be confiscated.

Even if the government is idle, it doesn't hurt to that share, and there is a cost to collecting taxes, and it doesn't feel like it's worth it for five bottles and three cylinders, anyway, izakaya also has to pay business tax and urban construction tax, and it has the same money to collect when it sells wine.

Of course, the premise is not to drink the dead, but according to the degree of sake, as long as you don't want to poison it, it is basically impossible to drink the dead.

An Yun Eisuke listened to Haruna's answer, took a deep breath, and looked at Kitahara Shuji's gaze with some solemnity.

It's easy to make wine, but it's hard to make good wine, and it's even harder to make wine that you can't fault in the slightest, and it's almost an impossible task.

Rice is very important, the variety of rice, the growing environment, the maturity, whether it is mildew, will affect whether the aroma of the rice can be accurately passed on to the sake, and even many sake breweries will ask farmers to grow rice suitable for sake brewing, that is, sake rice - it tastes very bad and is rotten when cooked, but it is quite easy to use.

Water is also important, and the minerals contained in it also have a great influence on wine. More calcium and magnesium ions will make the wine taste rougher; more sodium and potassium ions will make the wine alkaline and cause the taste to lose softness; too many iron ions will make the wine change color, dark and gray, and in severe cases, it will have a very unpleasant iron smell; too many tin ions will cause the wine to appear serious turbidity......

These will determine the final quality of sake, but not the most important thing, the most important thing is the koji genre, the soul of koji, and this is also true in sake.

There are few miscellaneous bacteria in the koji, the fermentation is not complete, and what comes out is sweet rice soup instead of wine; there are many miscellaneous bacteria in the koji, which will cause the mash to be rancid, and what comes out is a vat of sour water, and even if it is dead koji, the final result is a vat of stinky lumps that even pigs don't eat.

How many repeated attempts will it take to get a perfect bottle of wine when you put so many conditions together, how many times you have to endure the blow of failure, how many times will you have to be discouraged and get by, and how many times will you have to regain the courage to try again...... As a winemaker, no one knows more than Eisuke Yasuke.

This kind of thing is simply impossible to try lucky, interlocking, complicated, to be perfect casually, that is really luck, then what kind of wine, it is better to buy lottery tickets!

In an instant, Kitahara Shuji seemed to be plated with a shallow layer of golden light in An Yun Yingsuke's eyes. This young man's posture is so upright, his words and deeds are so charming, and even the smile on the corner of his mouth reveals a unique persistence and belief - An Yun Yingsuke's eyes passed through the handsome skin of Kitahara Shuji, and directly saw the pure soul of Kitahara Shuji's exclusive sake brewer, and his heart was pounding in an instant!

To be able to do this at such a young age, a great young man, a real powerhouse among brewers!

His demeanor involuntarily became polite, and he no longer dared to put on the shelf of the predecessors of the wine country. The brewer uses wine to speak, and his wine is compared to the wine of Kitahara Shuji, and it is a compliment to say horse urine, and if you don't accept it, you have to accept it.

That little "win-win" little thought had already been thrown aside-Pure Flavor House had the perfect sake worthy of any Japanese cuisine, and he had nothing to say-he was so polite that he didn't even dare to interrupt Kitahara Shuji and the other guests' small talk, although he was obviously not talking about serious things, just discussing what fruits and vegetables to eat to satisfy his stomach and lose weight, but he still didn't dare to interrupt rudely, so he could only ask Haruna softly: "Did Miss Kitahara help Brother Ling make wine?"

Kitahara Shuji introduced Haruna as his sister, and Eisuke Anyu really thought he was a brother and sister. Haruna didn't care, although she didn't like An Yun's family very much, but as a general, it was also an obligation to accompany the drinkers to gossip: "Yes, Mr. An Yun." ”

"Did you help all the way?"

"Yes!"

"It's hard, isn't it?" "It's not difficult to make wine, but there is a period of time when you boil the wine out, or the wine boils you to death.

"It's not hard, I can learn a lot of things that others can't learn, and I'm lucky. Haruna doesn't talk to strangers for a long time, and she can be regarded as studying, basically telling the truth - she likes to be busy with Kitahara Shuji, and there is an inexplicable sense of fulfillment. When Kitahara Shuji succeeded, she felt very happy, and she felt a sense of honor.

Of course, she did learn a lot.

An Yun Yingsuke nodded thoughtfully, now that Kitahara Shuji wants to make wine again, he is willing to work for free, or even pay for it, anyway, as long as he can be allowed to see all kinds of details up close, it will really be okay.

He was a little envious of Haruna, looked at Haruna there skillfully carved carrots to decorate the dishes, quite a bit of skill, and then looked at her calm but focused little face under the white turban, standing there slightly shaking like a green bamboo in the wind, and couldn't help but appreciate it - a very good child, sensible, able to endure hardships, I am afraid that he is also a good seedling of a winemaker!

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at his pair of children, wanting to make a comparison. There's nothing wrong with my daughter, she's been fine, but what's the matter with that impatient kid...... Why do you suddenly feel that this kid is such a waste? Is it because his wife dotes on him too much?

Girls of the same age have begun to work hard, or unpaid, just to learn and improve themselves, and their own family is still eating and waiting to die, and the difference between the heart and character ability is huge, and it is really the wife who spoils the children too much!

It's not too late to change, go back and get this kid to work in the sake brewery, start from carrying rice and grinding rice, what is dirty and hard!

An Yun Yingzhu decided to go back to give his son a Spartan education, and turned his head to Haruna and asked politely: "Do you want to make wine in the near future?"

Winter is the best season for sake. In ancient times, it was brewed five times a year, and it was based on the ripening period of rice, but in modern times, it has been found that the rot rate of sake brewed in winter is low, and the yield rate of sake is high.

He wanted to know how this perfect sake was made, but he didn't dare to ask directly, for fear of committing a taboo, so he could only inquire about the date and see if he could help him do something.

Haruna shook her head: "There is no brewing plan in the near future, and my family will not have time." ”

"How can there be no time?" An Yun Hero was a little incredulous, there is such a craft that is not used to save the people of the wine country, this is a crime, right?

"We were all in school, and we had to keep the store open, so it was inconvenient for the sake brewing to be without people for several days. Haruna replied very calmly, and the more profitable imitation Buddha jumping over the wall they didn't have time to make it continuously, so they could only barely make it once a week, and it was even more impossible to make wine that was several times more troublesome.

An Yun Yingsuke was a little annoyed, and at the same time a little suspicious that Haruna had discovered his attempt, which was refusing in advance, and Kitahara Shuji turned around at this time and smiled politely: "Mr. An Yun, are you still satisfied with the wine?"

This family is very troublesome, the old one is very picky, and the little one is stupid and not polite, but it also costs a lot of money, so you have to care about it, and you can't be too cold.

Facing Kitahara Shuji, An Yun Yingsuke immediately treated him solemnly, straightened his waist and sat upright, bowed his head and said sincerely: "Very satisfied, it can be said that it is impossible to be more satisfied." Kitahara-san, it's the frog at the bottom of my well who lacks knowledge, and today I finally understand what perfect sake looks like, thank you very much!"

"It's really a prize, it's good that you're satisfied. Kitahara replied with a smile. He doesn't pay much attention to this guy who is demented after drinking a glass now, and he feels that he should be rare and strange - Kitahara Shuji knows that this is good wine, but he doesn't want to touch the wine, he hasn't tasted a sip, he doesn't have an intuitive feeling, and now looking at An Yun Eisuke like this, not only can he not understand, but he wants to laugh a little.

The situation of the Fukuzawa family is similar. Fuyumi is the same as Kitahara Shuji, she only cares about whether the input and output can be proportional, Yukiri only thinks it's fun, Xia Ori Natsusha only cares about overtime pay, and she treats Haruna down-to-earth and wants to keep doing it, but she is caught in the middle and says it doesn't count.

Kitahara Shuji finished his politeness and was about to appease the other guests, but An Yun Yingsuke finally talked to him, refused to let him go, and quickly took out his business card, pinched a corner of each hand, and respectfully handed it over: "I was rude just now, Kitahara-san, this is my business card, please take care of it in the future!"

In the past, the self-introduction of the two parties was centered on An Yunai, which was regarded as the nature of classmates, friends and family members, but now it is a mutual introduction at the social level, which is obviously a lot more solemn. Kitahara Shuji was a little surprised, quickly wiped his hands and took it with both hands, and said at the same time: "Sorry, Mr. An Yun, I don't have a business card." ”

As he spoke, he glanced down at his business card and was surprised to find titles such as "President of Kikuki Sake Co., Ltd.", "Chief Superintendent of Yukimi Sake Brewery", and "Standing Director of the National Sake Appreciation Conference".

No wonder you're so picky about drinking, it turns out to be a wine seller!

An Yun Yingsuke didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "Let Kitahara Kurumi smile!" The reason why I came today was originally to reach a cooperation intention with your store, but I didn't expect to gain something else, and it's amazing to be able to see such a perfect sake...... It's amazing!"

He was not very interested in this, they only had 100 guests a night, and the normal sake consumed about 60 bottles—not everyone drank sake—an ordinary bottle was between 2,000~4,000 yen, and the total was sold for 1780,000 yen, and the profit was only about 30,000 yen, plus the profit from high-priced famous wine, it was only about 40,000 yen, which was not a big part of the revenue at all.

Therefore, even if Eisuke Azumi supplies directly from the sake brewery, it is not very attractive...... The main reason is that each of the pure flavor houses is purchased in a few boxes and boxes, and the sake brewery is not in the city, so it is not necessarily willing to deliver it to their door.

In the past, Dongmei was not very distressed when he called her back and forth, but now that she is a pre-girlfriend, she feels that she still has to cherish it, so don't let her pull the cart and run all the way to grind those two little short legs - she is already very short, so she should raise and strive to grow taller!

He smiled directly: "You are so polite, I tried it out occasionally, and I was really lucky to be able to meet your taste...... If we need wine in the future, we will definitely contact Mr. An Yun. ”

This is actually equivalent to not contacting, but An Yun Yingsuke didn't mind, just looked at Kitahara Shuji seriously and said: "Kitahara-san is too modest, your strength has said everything through this wonderful wine." ”

After he finished speaking, he put his hands on his knees, bowed his head and begged seriously: "Now that the contemptible person has a rude request, can you ask Kitahara-san to be the special advisor of Yukimi Sake Brewery?"
