The old man picked it up and sniffed it, nodded, and glanced at Chen Dami, who decisively turned his head to the other side, out of sight and out of mind.

The old man was happy, raised his head and poured the wine into his mouth, took it in his mouth, swallowed it, snorted, and said, "Why is it not delicious, this is not delicious, what do you want to drink, that's it, two bottles a day in the future." ”

Zhang Xingming was happy and said: "Two bottles a day, one bottle in two days is not good, this is wine, not soda." One bottle every four days, I'll take care of it, no bargaining. Either one bottle every four days or none at all, the choice is yours. ”

The old man smacked his lips, raised his glass and motioned for him to pour some more, then took another sip, swallowed it and said, "Okay, one bottle every four days, listen to you, eight bottles a month, ninety-six bottles a year, get a hundred bottles, when will they be sent to me?"

Everyone laughed, even Chen Dami, who had been suffering from a bitter face.

Zhang Xingming said to Secretary Chen: "Brother Chen, you can take this half bottle back and find a place to test it, so that there is an explanation." Although this thing is wine, there is alcohol will get drunk, but the benefits to people are greater than harmful, because it has a vascular softening effect on the middle-aged and elderly is obvious, and it is still good to drink it every day. ”

The old man asked, "Isn't there any production in this country?"

Zhang Xingming said: "This is actually similar to the domestic fruit wine, but the red wine only uses grapes, the foreign red wine industry developed earlier, from planting to the process are more mature, and the quality of this thing is affected by the temperature and sunshine soil quality, and it may take some years for the domestic scale to form." Moreover, there is a big cultural difference between domestic and foreign countries, and the same fruit wine is produced, and the product is a completely different thing. ”

Uncle Mao asked, "Is this thing expensive?"

Zhang Xingming said: "It's not expensive, a few dollars cheaper in foreign countries, more than a dozen dollars more expensive, and it can reach a hundred dollars is a very high-quality wine, which is rare in the market. ”

The old man was interested in this and said, "Does this mean that the price is different every year?"

Zhang Xingming said: "Yes, basically this means, this year's grapes grow well, the quality of the wine is good, the more people buy, the price will naturally be higher, next year may be due to some reasons, the quality of the wine will decline, then the price will come down." This is very different from our country, we are a unified price system, talking about the brand, Moutai is now eighteen yuan a bottle, whether it is last year, this year, next year, no matter where it is sold, all eighteen, in fact, the quality of each batch of wine is different, this is the biggest difference between liquor culture and red wine culture, even if the red wine is famous in your winery, it is not good to drink and it is in vain, and the liquor is more and more as long as the reputation goes out. ”

The old man frowned and thought, Zhang Xingming said: "Old man, don't think about it, the regional culture is different, if we implement such a system and policy, we must be chaotic, we can only ask from the raw material process, and then directly from this grading pricing, or have to unify the price, we have a lot of people." ”

The old man loosened his brows and nodded, and said, "That's right, there are too many differences in the proportion of the population, and there is no comparison." ”

My mother asked, "Are there few foreigners?"

Zhang Xingming said: "Well, much less, the population of one country can be more than half of the countries in Europe and the United States combined, and a province with a large population like Sichuan and Henan, one province can top several of them." ”

My mother said, "Oh, are they? They're such a small number of people, so why can't they get them?"

Zhang Xingming said: "It's because there are many people who can't get them, their little people, planting two acres of land will be full, and then they will ponder the development of science and technology, we just fill our stomachs is a big problem, and the development of science and technology will naturally lag behind, but now it's good, our development has been getting faster and faster in the past two years, and it will not be too far to catch up with them and surpass them." ”

The old man nodded and said: "Yes, filling the stomach is a big problem, now half of the people in our country can't eat enough, the country is big, the regional differences are too big, the harvest here, the drought there, the flood on the left, the insect pest on the right, just the problem of eating has been tossed for decades, now it's a lot, at least the supply of grain and oil has basically met the basic needs of the urban population, and there is bargaining grain, which means that some areas have a surplus, and in a few years, eating enough is not a problem." ”

Zhang Xingming nodded and said: "When the food stamps disappear and the food book is canceled, it means that we can really eat enough, and that time is the time for our great development of science and technology." ”

The waiter cleaned up the restaurant and came over to make tea for everyone, grandpa and grandpa went back to the house to take a nap, and the rest of the people gathered around the sofa to listen to the old man.

The old man said, "I heard that you are going to build another research institute in the capital, why don't you get it back?"

Zhang Xingming glared at Li Chun and said, "Not all projects can be taken back to do, and this should also pay attention to the right time and place." Our country's computer started late, there are few talents, and talents are concentrated in the capital. ”

The old man said: "Why do we go far and seek the near and far, don't we have talented people in Liaodong? From the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present, how many things in all walks of life did not start in Liaodong? Let's just say that computers are not Soviet technology received in Liaodong, so what does the capital have?"

Zhang Xingming said: "The most advanced computer technology is now the Americans, and the United States technology and equipment are now concentrated in the capital, and this is the first, and the second is the reserve of technology and qualified personnel; this research institute depends to a great extent on the computer research institute, can you move the computer research institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to Liaodong? But old man, don't worry, as long as the product is marketized, you can build a factory for mass production, you must still consider our Liaodong first. ”

The old man nodded unhappily, reluctantly accepting this statement.

The waiter brought some washed fruits, Zhang Xingming picked up an orange, peeled it with a knife and cut it open and handed it to the old man, and said to Chen Dami: "After lunch and dinner, when there is a condition, give the old man an orange, which helps digestion, and the orange itself is also delicious, and the content of various nutrients is very high." He cut a few more and put them on the table, and let everyone eat them with toothpicks.

The old man took a bite and nodded in satisfaction.

My mother said: "It's delicious, it's just too troublesome, why are the fruits of the south so troublesome to eat?"

The old man helped: "Yes, it doesn't taste pleasant." ”

So a complaint against southern fruits began, this one has thick skin, that one has a big core, this one is not easy to peel, and that one is full of hands, Zhang Xingming is about to turn into an emoji when he listens to it.

After drinking tea for a while and eating a few fruits, the old man left, for him, this is a rare holiday, very happy, but when the next time, he himself does not know, this is the distress of the big man.

As soon as the old man left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, although they felt good, but there was still pressure in their hearts.
