Chapter 111, year-end changes

Back in Shanghai, life continued, and within a few days, Li Ya went to the wine cellar to get wine and found that there was not much rice wine. The degree of rice wine is very low, almost beer-like, and the two of them usually like to drink some, but now that there is no more, Li Ya thinks that it is possible to go directly to the manufacturer to pull a batch.

Rice wine is one of the oldest liquors in the world, originated in China, and only China has it, and beer, wine and called the world's three ancient liquors, the Shang and Zhou dynasties have begun to brew in large quantities. The production area is wide, there are many brands, the most famous of which is Shaoxing Huadiao wine, Zhuangyuan red and daughter red is Huadiao wine.

Rice wine is rich in nutrients, containing 21 amino acids, including 8 essential amino acids that the human body cannot synthesize and must rely on food to ingest.

Less than six o'clock, when Shu Yue came back, Li Ya's meal was almost ready, and after it was put on the table, he took the scalded rice wine, and drank a glass of it alone, Li Ya said: "I went to the cellar to get the wine just now, I see that there are only a few bottles of rice wine." Why don't I go to Shaoxing once and pull a batch back directly from the winery?"

"It's a lot of trouble to go, isn't there other wine? Shu Yue didn't want Li Ya to be tired, "Moutai Wuliangye has all of these, why do you do that." ”

"Those are high alcohols, not suitable for regular drinking. Li Ya explained, "Rice wine is rich in nutrients, contains a variety of amino acids and minerals, prevents cardiovascular diseases, and has anti-aging functions. ”

"How much of a benefit can this have?" Shu Yue said with a smile, "but it tastes really good to drink, and it's good to drink a little to relax from time to time." ”

"Then I'll go tomorrow, it's not far, I'll be back soon. Li Ya said, "Get more back, and by the way, buy some old wine." ”

There are a lot of rice wine on the market, and in recent years, it has become popular to be a high degree of wine and wine, white wine for friends gatherings and unit dinners, and small couples drink coffee and red wine, and the sales of rice wine are not very good. However, if you want to buy a large amount of rice wine, the store does not have it, and even if there is, the price is much more expensive.

"You don't have to go. Shu Yue said, "I'll just send two people from the company." The company has Shaoxing, and they are familiar with Shaoxing. If you stay at home during this time, you can go out for a walk. ”

"What's so depressing, this time has been very fulfilling, and most of the time has been pondering and carving. Li Ya was a little proud, "Now my carving skills have improved a lot." ”

Shu Yue casually praised a few words, even if Li Ya was very focused on learning carving during this time, but without the guidance of a famous teacher, it was all up to him to figure it out, where can he be smart?

However, in the past few years, Li Ya has been cooking and doing housework at home, which has allowed Shu Yue to get rid of housework and go to work with peace of mind. She sometimes thinks about it and is very satisfied with her married life. There is no shortage of money at home, and there is no need to calculate the life of the family, and the husband takes the initiative to take care of the housework, so he does not have to take care of the housework after work every day. After a day of work, Li Ya was already cooking and waiting for him when he returned home, and he felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

A few classmates who married rich people, although they don't have to take care of housework, they don't have the opportunity to work, so they can only stay at home bored, which is also a kind of torture. How can you work like Li Ya, you can work if you want to, you can not work if you want to work, life is simply not too beautiful!

On this day, Li Ya was reading the newspaper after finishing his housework, and suddenly a report caught his attention. In the early morning of December 3, Union Carbide (India) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Union Carbide in Bhopal, India, a pesticide factory located near the slum of Bhopal, suffered a methyl isocyanate leakage, killing more than 2,000 people and maiming tens of thousands of people.

After Shu Yue came back from work, Li Ya told Shu Yue about the poison gas leak that happened in India while eating.

Shu Yue said: "I have also seen this report. More than 2,000 people died and tens of thousands were disabled, the biggest accident in years. ”

"That's just the number of people reported now, there are hundreds of thousands of people living near the pesticide factory. Li Ya said, "In the future, more people will die because of ineffective rescue." ”

"I don't know what's going on, but there's never been such a serious leak before. Shu Yue said, "It's too dangerous to think about chemical plants now." ”

"Chemical plants are generally built in sparsely populated areas, and even if they leak, they won't kill so many people. Li Ya said, "Besides, chemical equipment is actually very safety-oriented, and generally there will be no leakage." ”

"But this incident reminds us not to enter the chemical industry in the future, this is too dangerous. Shu Yue said, "In this incident, the United Carbide Company is in big trouble, and if it is not good, it will go bankrupt, and the person in charge will have to go to jail." ”

"Hehe!" Li Ya smiled unkindly, "Bankrupt, imprisoned? People are American companies, India is a poor and backward country, and it can't be tough in front of the world boss United States, people have a way to get rid of India's entanglement, as for the compensation, how much can it be?"

The facts are indeed as Li Ya said, except for the reports of increasing the number of deaths again and again in the newspapers, there is no news about the person responsible for the incident, and there is no shadow of the news of compensation.

Shu Yue admired Li Ya's judgment very much, Li Ya smiled and said modestly: "It's just casual nonsense." ”

In fact, of course, Li Ya knew that he had learned about this incident when he read the novel. The main person responsible for the incident was arrested and released on bail and returned to the United States, where he has been living in New York ever since. As for the compensation, it was four years later that the compensation of 280 million pounds was paid, but only about half of the money was paid, and there was no follow-up.

India** is even more odious, and many victims have not received the compensation they deserve at all. Moreover, people have not been relocated since then, and people are still living on contaminated land. The rate of cancer and child mortality is much higher here than in other regions.

When the news of the Bhopal gas leak was boiling, the company's two buildings were completed, and after Li Ya's uncle settled the money, Li Ya invited his brother-in-law's family to come over for dinner.

At the dinner table, Li Ya asked his uncle: "Uncle, now that the project is over, what are your plans next?"

"Well, I really have a plan. The uncle said, "You see that I studied biology, and building a house is not my major, so it is a bit difficult to do; I think that if you don't open a hotel, the investment will be small and the results will be quick. ”

"It's good to open a restaurant. Shu Yue said, "Shanghai has a large population, and its living habits are petty bourgeoisie according to Li Ya, and they like to go out to eat; As long as you open a restaurant, you don't have to worry about having no business. ”

Li Ya thought that the hotel was really a good business, but he didn't look down on the business of the hotel before, so he didn't think about it and ignored it. On the contrary, it is a construction company, and now there are few houses, and there are many state-owned companies, but it is not easy to develop, and it is really not a good time to enter the construction industry.

"During this time, uncle, you can do a survey, how to buy meat, vegetables, rice, etc., and then find a house, decorate it, and you can open it when you come back after the New Year. Li Ya said, "The decoration is a little more foreign, the food tastes better, and the young people are good now." Two little couples go out to eat, who wants to go to a place in Tubula?"

The little aunt smiled: "Why don't you go and help us take care of the cooking, the dishes you cook are so delicious that they will definitely be welcome." ”

Li Ya smiled: "I don't want to stay in the kitchen all day and suffer. However, I can recommend you a few chefs who are better at their craft than me, and I learned from them how to cook. ”

"Okay, it's up to you then. The uncle smiled, "As long as you find a good cook, then this is basically done." ”

There is a little doll on the dinner table who is still learning to eat, and the meal is joyful.

Shu Yue was very envious, and talked about the topic of children at night.

The next day, Li Ya took his uncle to visit the master who taught him how to cook, and several masters were overjoyed that they could still go out to the mountains to earn some money to subsidize their families. In this era, except for a few people who have made money in business, the wages of other cadres and workers are still very low, and everyone's living conditions are very poor, so of course they are concerned about things that can make money.
