Chapter 22: The Great Ancestor of the Second Uncle
"Second uncle, how do you usually sell this wine?" Feng Fei didn't send wine to the restaurant, so there was no professional to estimate his price, and he didn't know how to drink, so he could only probe Liang Jingui in advance, in case he missed the price later.
"Our wine is made of traditional technology, I also know some about the wine made outside, Xiaoyao is not fermented with koji now, most of them use saccharification enzymes, although the yield is higher, but it is no longer a liquor in the real sense, and the taste is far from ours, you know who the second uncle is, the villagers in ten miles and eight towns basically know, so the price never makes much money,"
"And my wine is fermented in liquid state, and then distilled wine, is a real pure grain wine, unlike those wines that are fermented in a small state and then blended with flavors and fragrances, so the cost is a bit high, basically two catties of grain out of one catty of wine, plus various expenses and time, generally high liquor sells for seven or eight yuan, and medium liquor is about five yuan. “
After listening to Liang Jingui's words, Feng Fei had a general impression in his heart, and immediately said excitedly, "Second uncle, the purchase price that people told me is that all wine is required, and the purchase price is fifteen yuan, second uncle, you can make a fortune now."
Since Feng Fei bought it by himself, he would definitely not treat Liang Jingui badly, and he had a way to make these wines double and increase the price, so he couldn't lose the price of fifteen yuan, and he could also let his second uncle Liang Jingui earn more money, so that he could give Brother Hutou a daughter-in-law in the future.
"What?" Liang Jingui looked at Feng Fei in disbelief, plucked out his ears and asked again, "How much do you say is a catty??"
Feng Fei looked at the second uncle's reaction, and said with a smile, "You heard it right, fifteen yuan a catty, or a long-term acquisition!"
"Xiao Fei, this is no joke, you tell the truth, are you raising the price for others? Our wine counts the cost and manpower and material resources, at most it is four yuan of capital, how can you raise it to such a high price, isn't this a pit for others" Liang Jingui has been making wine all his life, and he knows how much money his family sells without losing money, so when he heard such a high price, he immediately felt that Feng Fei had fooled others.
"Second uncle, this is not the price I said, it was ordered by the hotel owner himself, and he said that there are not many such traditional crafts now, and he is going to use your wine as a feature of the hotel to attract customers, so the price will be so high. Don't worry, you can rest assured, I grew up watching you, I can do that lack of morality" Feng Fei felt sad about the reaction of his second uncle Liang Jingui, he has made good wine all his life, just because of his simple personality, he has never made a fortune, if those black-hearted businessmen had the technology of the second uncle, and then mixed some alcohol and made some gimmicks, they would have made the wine famous a long time ago.
Hearing Feng Fei say this, Liang Jingui was relieved, and the wrinkles on his face were happily stretched, but tears welled up in his old eyes.
Feng Fei was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Second uncle, what's wrong with you?" Don't scare me, Brother Hutou, come here!" for fear that the old man would be overstimulated, he hurriedly called Liang Hutou over.
Liang Jingui waved his hand, wiped a handful of old tears, and said with a smile, "It's nothing, the second uncle is happy, since my great-grandfather, our family has been making wine, and it is also an old craft, when your grandfather passed it on to me, he said, make good wine honestly, be a good person in a down-to-earth manner, don't fake the real materials, it's good wine, don't steal, don't rob, don't cheat, it's a good person,"
"But the second uncle also understands in his heart that in today's society, those who really make good wine will also sell it after blending, why? If you don't do this, others will do it, the same cost, others will pay five catties, and you only have two catties, so it is difficult to be a good person, but since I was a child, your grandfather taught me that I would rather earn less than cheat others. ”
Feng Fei sighed in his heart, it is still the older generation, but it is also in the previous society, if at the moment, you don't have the money to advertise and promote, no matter how good the wine is, it can only be sold in the village, and it can't be on the big stage, because you don't have popularity, and now people drink, don't you go to the brand.
"Okay, second uncle, our family's wine is known, you should be happy, don't talk about those sad things, I'll bring a car today, let's go, let's go and fill the wine now!" Feng Fei patted Liang Jingui's thin shoulder and comforted him.
"Okay, don't talk about it, don't talk about it, fill it up! Tiger head, go open the cellar!"
Liang Hutou nodded "hey", ran into the house, lifted a wooden board under the corner of the wall, lifted a layer of felt, and finally there was a layer of stone slabs, revealing an underground space with a ladder diagonally.
Feng Fei went out to greet the drivers Liu Kedong and Liu Yilong, and asked the two and Liang Jingui to wait on it, and he and Liang Hutou went down to the wine cellar.
As soon as he entered, he smelled the strong aroma of wine, Feng Fei staggered, this smell was really rushing, I was really afraid that I would get drunk if I stayed for a long time.
Liang Hutou turned on the electric light, and what caught his eye was a row of wine jars, all sealed with mud, and the degree and type and year were written on red paper, under the guidance of Liang Jingui, the two moved the ladder away, vacated the exit of the wine cellar, and then moved the wine jar to the exit, and several people handed down the rope, bolted it and then lifted it up, a jar of wine was about 100 catties, and there were only ten jars for 1,000 catties, and soon all of them were put out of the wine cellar.
After the incident, Feng Fei and Liang Hutou wanted to go up, but found that Liang Jingui came down by himself, "Second uncle, what are you doing here, you are so old, the light here is not good, don't touch you." ”
"It's okay, my bones are still hard, come Xiaofei, I'll show you my baby." As he spoke, he led the two of them to a corner of the wine cellar, asked them to move a few jars, pointed to the innermost one and said to Feng Fei, "Xiao Fei, look at when this wine is." ”
Feng Fei took a closer look at the faint light, this jar was obviously different from the others, it was full of simplicity at a glance, and the note on it was no longer bright red, but faded a little whitish, and the handwriting was still written with a brush, "On the sixth day of the first month of 1913, Liang Qiqi"
And it's not the current reading order, it's reading from right to left, Feng Fei asked suspiciously, "Second uncle, this is"
Liang Jingui stepped forward and touched the wine jar, the whole person fell into memory, and only replied after a while, "Liang Qiqi is my great-ancestor, this is the wine he brewed back then, I heard that Liang Qichao and his beloved apprentice Cai Ye have drunk it,"
Liang Qichao and Cai Ye have both drunk?? Feng Fei was shocked beyond measure, that is a celebrity, a figure from the same era as Yuan Shikai and Sun Yat-sen, etc., Liang Qichao, Liang Qiqi, what does it matter?
Just as he was about to ask, Liang Jingui himself said slowly, "Liang Qichao and Liang Qiqi are brothers of the same clan, when Liang Qichao was dissatisfied with Yuan Shikai's appointment, his family moved from Guangdong to Tianjin, and when he passed through Shandong, there was a lineage of people who stayed here, which is the great ancestor Liang Qiqi's line,"
