Mu Dong was a little helpless, he asked cautiously: "County Magistrate Liu, it doesn't matter if you change it or not, how much do you want?"

Liu Jingyun heard Mu Dong's caution and embarrassment, and sighed secretly in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Mu Dong, can you help get three or five catties?"

Mu Dong was relieved all of a sudden, three or five pounds, fortunately, he should be able to convince his father. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He hurriedly said: "County Magistrate Liu, it's no problem to have three or five catties, I will definitely convince my father, it's really not good, I'll help you steal it out." ”

Liu Jingyun also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and finally she could give her father an explanation.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday on National Day, Liu Jingyun, as a government official, has been busy for several days, until the afternoon of October 8, when she hurried to BJ before leaving, she took away a small jar of wine that Mu Dong gave her that time.

On October 9, the children of the Liu family, both military and political circles, gathered at the residence of Mr. Liu in BJ Xishan to celebrate the birthday of the Republic together.

As a veteran who has experienced the baptism of war, Mr. Liu attaches great importance to this festival, and his family gathers at this time every year. It's just that later the children were busy in their respective posts, and slowly the day of the party became after the National Day holiday.

Mr. Liu's name is Liu Yuanshan, he is 92 years old, he shuttled through the smoke of war when he was young, experienced the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, until the National Day in 1951, under the arrangement of the organization, 34-year-old Liu Yuanshan married a 21-year-old female textile factory worker and completed his life events. Therefore, for Liu Yuanshan, National Day is not only the birthday of the Republic, but also his wedding anniversary.

After marriage, Liu Yuanshan soon participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and grew up rapidly, and in the nineties of the last century, when Liu Yuanshan retired, he was already a well-known boss in the army.

As the youngest daughter in the family, Liu Jingyun was born in 1969 and is 40 years old this year. When Liu Jingyun was born, she already had three elder brothers, so Liu Yuanshan and his wife were very precious to this little princess, and they have always loved her very much, and the three elder brothers also loved Liu Jingyun very much. It can be said that 20 years later, Liu Jingyun's treatment at home is a copy of the current Liu Wei.

The three sons of the Liu family, the eldest Liu Jingguo and the second Liu Jingjun are all in the army, among which Liu Jingguo has already worn the golden epaulettes of the major general, and the second has also been a colonel for many years and will soon be promoted. The third child, Liu Jingtang, works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Now, Liu Jingguo's son Liu Tian also has a child, and he just added a cute male treasure last year, and the Liu family is finally in the same house for four generations.

At noon, in the small courtyard where the old man was recuperating, the four generations of the Liu family set up two large round tables and gathered together to set up a banquet.

Liu Yuanshan looked at this room full of children and grandchildren, and was happy in his heart, he only got married at the age of 34, and it was not easy to see his great-grandson born. Although the health doctor had long advised him to quit drinking, he still poured a small glass of Moutai and touched his lips from time to time.

At this time, Liu Jingyun lifted the wicker basket as if offering a treasure, opened the small black porcelain altar, stretched the jar under the old man's nose, and said flatteringly: "Dad, do you smell fragrant, this wine is also cellar wine, I heard that it has been buried in the ground for more than 20 years." ”

A wine aroma completely different from the sauce aroma of Moutai entered Liu Yuanshan's nasal cavity leisurely, and he suddenly became energetic, wondering in his heart, what kind of wine is this, how can there be a vaguely familiar aroma, thinking of the place where Liu Jingyun works, he suddenly thought, could it be that bar?

He hurriedly said loudly, "Bring me a cup and pour it for me." ”

Old man Liu hasn't spoken so violently for many years, but Liu Jingyun, who was standing next to him, was startled, and it also shocked others, what's wrong with the old man?

Liu Yuanshan saw that everyone was flustered, and he was even more anxious, snatched the small wine jar, and didn't wait for any cups, holding the jar with both hands, directly to his mouth, and raising his neck was a big mouthful.

Liu Jingyun was frightened, hurriedly grabbed it, and said in a panic: "Dad, Dad, drink slowly, drink slowly......"

At this time, Liu Yuanshan also put down the jar and laughed, making the room even more puzzled.

After laughing, Liu Yuanshan said loudly: "Okay, good wine, Xiaoyun, this is a melon dry bar in Shuhe County, I've been thinking about it for decades, hahaha......"

After speaking, Liu Yuanshan took another sip to his mouth, smacked it carefully, and said: "It's the aroma of melon dry wine, but the bitterness in the entrance is not at all, yes, good wine, good wine." ”

The wine glass was finally brought, Liu Jingyun hurriedly poured a small glass for her father, and asked, "Dad, have you drunk this wine?"

Liu Yuanshan looked around and said, "Children, do you know why I have been addicted to alcohol all my life? In fact, it has something to do with this melon dry wine, I only told your mother about this, I am happy today, so I will tell you about it again." ”

"It was 1938, I was 21 years old at the time, and I followed our Gu regiment commander to fight guerrillas in the area of Guanshan in what is now Shuhe County. ”

Liu Jingyun nodded again and again, and Liu Yuanshan continued to speak.

It turned out that in 1938, Liu Yuanshan was injured in the calf in a fierce battle. At that time, there was a shortage of medical treatment, and the injuries that were not serious showed signs of inflammation, and the wounds slowly festered. And the guerrilla hygienists had no other way but to clean the wounds and change the bandages.

At that time, Liu Yuanshan, who was already unable to move, lived in a mountain people's house, and the mountain people also tried to find ways to ask for home remedies to help with treatment.

Later, an old hunter came up with the idea to clean the wound with the local mountain people's own dried melon wine, then apply herbs, and told Liu Yuanshan to drink a small glass of warm melon wine a day to promote blood circulation, which slowly cured the ulcers on the calves. It was at that time that Liu Yuanshan learned to drink, and since then, he has been a lifelong addict to alcohol.

Speaking of this, Liu Yuanshan was emotional.

"Children, you don't know, the common people at that time were poor, they couldn't eat enough, how could they have extra grain to make wine. Especially in the mountains, there is little land and many mountains, so there is no way to grow food at all, so you can only grow sweet potatoes, which are now called sweet potatoes. Although dried sweet potatoes are no longer available now, at that time, dried melons were life-saving food, and dried melon wine was very expensive. In order to treat my injuries, I used four or five catties of dried melon wine, which the mountain people exchanged for dozens of catties of dried melons. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yuanshan stopped, and the atmosphere became solemn.

Liu Wei hurriedly came out to liven up the atmosphere, she said, "Grandpa, have you been there later?"

Liu Yuanshan was a little happy, and said: "I have been there, and I have found the mountain people, their family lives very well, when I was more than eight years old, I also took the old couple to BJ to live for a while, but the old couple died more than ten years ago." ”

Liu Wei hurriedly said, "Grandpa, haven't you looked for dried melon wine?"

Liu Yuanshan sighed and said: "I have found it, there is a winery in Shuhe County, which still produced this kind of melon dry wine in the seventies and eighties, but it was discontinued in the 90s, and I haven't seen this kind of wine for nearly 30 years." ”

Also, this kind of melon dry wine with bitterness is originally a very low-grade liquor, and it is naturally too eliminated in the market tide.

Liu Wei asked two questions in a row, but the final conclusion was a little frustrating. Liu Jingyun hurriedly said: "Dad, this wine was given to me by a young man in Shuhe County, it is said that when he was born, his father bought some buried in the ground, it has been more than 20 years, he should still have it at home, don't worry, I will order it again, to ensure that you can drink this wine often." ”

Although Liu Yuanshan is very old, he is not confused. He sighed and said, "Xiaoyun, since this wine has been stored for so many years, it is also very expensive for others, and it cannot be forced. If people are willing, they will ask for three catties and two catties, and they can't ask for it in vain, and they will exchange it for the Moutai liquor in the cellar. If people don't want to, forget it, this small jar of wine is enough for me to entertain for a long time. ”

Liu Jingyun nodded when she heard this, and said solemnly: "Dad, don't worry, I will pay attention." ”

Liu Yuanshan stood up tremblingly, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and said to his family: "I am happy today, I have drunk the taste of decades ago, come, let's have another drink together, you must do your duty in the future, work hard, and work hard for the republic." ”

After speaking, Liu Yuanshan drank this cup to the fullest, and his family members quickly stood up and drank all the wine in their respective cups.

The health care doctor who rushed to hear the news was frightened, and persuaded the old man not to drink anymore, but Liu Yuanshan also listened to the persuasion, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't drink, I'm happy today, listen to you." ”

The old man was called to rest by the health doctor, and the rest of the Liu family continued to drink and eat, and everyone left one after another after they were full.

In the evening, Liu Jingyun, who had packed up everything, dialed Mu Dong's phone and said that he wanted three or five catties of melon dry wine.

Fortunately, Mu Dong agreed, Liu Jingyun breathed a sigh of relief, and then introduced in detail the situation of the old man and the reason for his love for melon dry wine.

Liu Jingyun said this, in fact, he wanted Mu Dong to understand that he would not use this wine to run for official ranks, it was completely his father's favorite, so he reluctantly opened his mouth.

Mu Dong was shocked when he heard it. One is to be shocked by Liu Yuanshan's glorious past, until now, the Shuhe County Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery is publicizing the heroic deeds of the guerrillas in those years, and displaying the relics of many guerrillas in those years. The second is that Liu Yuanshan has been shocked by his dedication to melon wine for decades, which shows that the old man has embedded his passion for this land into his bones, and melon wine has become a carrier for him to miss this land.

Mu Dong settled his mind for a moment, and immediately said: "County Magistrate Liu, don't worry, I will definitely persuade my father to take out a large jar of dried melon wine and dedicate it to the old heroes who once fought bloodily in this land." ”

Liu Jingyun was very happy and thanked her again and again.

After hanging up the phone, Mu Dong immediately left the cold storage and went to his house.

Mu's father was watching a few workers debugging various electrical appliances in the house at home, and it happened that the boss of the housing design company was also there.

Boss Mu now has money in his hand, and he confidently tells the other party that as long as the decoration is completed and the acceptance is passed, the final payment will be paid immediately.

After a while, the workers finished debugging and left after work.

Mu Dong sat on the sofa in the living room and talked to his father about County Magistrate Liu's desire for some liquor, and then focused on Liu Yuanshan's revolutionary past.

Mu Dad's age people, the heroism complex in his heart is heavier than that of Mu Dong's age, he immediately agreed, give the old hero two large jars, 20 catties, if you need it in the future, as long as the Mu family still has it, you must give it.

Mu Dong admired his father's generosity in his heart, and he immediately called Liu Jingyun back, saying that his father had promised to give the old hero 20 catties of dried melon wine from the cellar, and returned it after drinking.

Liu Jingyun's excited lips trembled, she didn't expect that she opened her mouth nervously, but she got a reply that far exceeded expectations, she thanked her vigorously on the phone, and felt that her language was so poor for the first time.

Liu Jingyun is now in BJ, and she and Mu Dong have agreed that they will contact Mu Dong immediately after returning to Shuhe County.

When Liu Jingyun answered the phone, Liu Wei happened to be next to her, and seeing her aunt's joyful appearance, Liu Wei had a different feeling in her heart, feeling that Mu Dong was really interesting.

After Mu Dong finished dinner, he chatted with Xiao Xiao for a long time, and just hung up the phone, but the mobile phone rang again.

Mu Dong thought that Xiao Xiao had something unfinished, so he quickly picked it up and said, "Daughter-in-law, what's the matter?"

"Phew, who's your daughter-in-law, stinky Mudong, what are you talking nonsense?"

Mu Dong hurriedly looked at the phone screen, it turned out to be Liu Wei, and he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Liu Wei, I read it wrong." How's it going, it's been good lately, isn't it?"

Liu Wei originally called Mu Dong to thank him for the melon dry wine, but he was made in no mood at all by his daughter-in-law, and she said angrily: "What's good?

Mu Dong was helpless, and said in his heart, didn't he just say the wrong thing, why did he come up and be anxious?

"Liu Wei, I really didn't mean to, I kept talking to my daughter-in-law on the phone just now, and when the phone rang, I thought she had something to say and made a mistake. ”

Liu Wei was even more angry, and said bluntly: "Thank you for the melon dry wine." Then he hung up.

Mu Dong was speechless, what is this.

Early the next morning, the third uncle brought the latest price news, the price of first-grade garlic rose by 1 cent to 10 yuan per catty, and the second-grade garlic remained unchanged at 8.9 yuan per catty.

The cold storage is still busy, and customers who have already paid are still waiting in line to load the truck. In the past two days, with the continuous expansion of the idle area in the cold storage, the loading of workers has become more and more skilled, and they can basically load more than 1,600 tons per day, and they can get off work at 6 o'clock in the afternoon without overtime.

In the morning, Mu Dong received several customers who came to purchase.

Mu Dong is sensitive to a problem, that is, the customers who come to purchase are all small companies, and the purchase volume is not large, 50 tons or 100 tons, and there are even two customers who only purchase 30 tons of second-grade garlic. Fortunately, the number of customers is not small, and in one morning, Boss Mu sold 200 tons of first-class garlic and 400 tons of second-grade garlic.

At noon, the price was the same as yesterday, still unchanged, and Boss Mu only sold 100 tons of first-grade garlic and 300 tons of second-grade garlic in one afternoon.

Fortunately, Boss Mu's inventory is not much, and after taking inventory, Mu Dong found that there were still 150 tons of first-grade garlic and 560 tons of second-grade garlic left on the books.

Tomorrow, it should be sold out, Mu Dong thought to himself.

As a result, there was no need to wait until tomorrow, and that night, Zhang Jishun called and asked Mu Dong how much garlic he still had, and he asked for it all.

It turned out that Zhang Jishun had raised some funds in the past few days, and in addition to the high-interest loans for employees, he also urgently applied for a bank loan, so he wanted to quickly purchase some more garlic from Mu Dong.

Knowing that Mu Dong only had about 700 tons of garlic left on his books, Zhang Jishun sighed, and he rushed to the primary school overnight, signed a purchase contract with Mu Dong, and agreed to pay for the goods early tomorrow morning.

There will definitely be some discrepancies between the final inventory and the actual book data, and Mu Dong and Zhang Jishun have also agreed on a compensation mechanism.

At this point, all the garlic in the cold storage has been sold out.

In the evening, Boss Mu stayed in the office until late at night, and he was counting the sales data of garlic. In the end, counting the payment that will be in place tomorrow, Boss Mu calculated an astronomical amount.

146.508 million yuan.

According to the initial investment ratio, Mu Dong can get 117 million yuan, minus various loans, and then deduct various expenses, and the cash in his hand should be more than 100 million.

Finally a billionaire!" Boss Mu let out a long breath.

There wasn't much joy, and it was completely different from the first two times when I made a lot of money. Mu Dong felt that from this moment on, wealth could barely be said to be a number for himself. But he knows that he still has a long way to go, and his responsibilities are still very heavy, in addition to his family and friends, he is still carrying the heavy trust of Shi Kun.

Thinking of Shi Kun, Mu Dong couldn't help but sigh, perhaps, there will never be a chance to meet this mysterious fellow practitioner again.

Early the next morning, Uncle Mu came again to tell Mu Dong the latest garlic price. Mu Dong said to him helplessly: "Third uncle, the price change of garlic has nothing to do with us now and in the future, our garlic has all been sold out, last night, Boss Zhang of Shengtong came to sign an agreement and bought the last batch of garlic." ”

Third Uncle Mu was stunned for a moment, it was sold out, why was it sold out?

He muttered: "It's a pity, today's first-grade garlic has risen by 3 cents, and the second-grade garlic has risen by 2 cents." ”

Recently, Uncle Mu has been very happy every day, he enjoys the feeling of rising prices every day and shipping crazy every day, but now, all this has come to an abrupt end, and Uncle Mu feels that he has no motivation all of a sudden, and his whole expression instantly becomes extremely lonely.

He got on his electric car and left dejectedly.

Mu Dong was also very helpless, and he didn't know how to comfort the third uncle.

In Mu Dong's later express delivery plan, there is no position for the third uncle, the main reason is still on the third aunt, she is too troublesome, and if she doesn't get it right, it will drag her feet and affect the overall situation. Express delivery is an industry that is racing against time, and any mistake will have a serious impact, so Mu Dong does not dare to take this risk.

But now, the third uncle's lonely demeanor made Mu Dong change his mind. Let's invite the third uncle myself, if he is also willing, then bring him with him, and everyone will work together.
