Li Yu came out of the chief of Bao's house, walked east along a green path, walked for about ten minutes, and in front of him was a verdant bamboo forest, there was a tiled house in the middle of the bamboo forest, and there was only this one family around.

Passing through the bamboo forest, it is a stone yard, more than one meter above the ground, an old man in the yard is breaking the bamboo with a knife in his hand, the crackling sound is like a firecracker, and the three children next to him are holding bamboo swords and comparing with each other, snorting and drinking in their mouths, it should be that I have watched too many martial arts movies, and Li Yu also did it when he was a child.

The three children had sharp eyes, and when they saw Li Yu coming in, they all stopped, looked at him curiously, and a child ran to the old man and whispered, "Grandpa, someone is coming." ”

The old man raised his head and saw Li Yu in the direction of the child's finger, and asked, "Young man, what's wrong?" ”

This old man is an old carpenter in the village, surnamed Xiang, and the village calls him Xiang Carpenter, and the bamboo products that the villagers need are all bought from him, but Li Yu came to find his son, the black dog.

"Master Xiang, the black dog is not at home, I have something to do with him."

"The old man is in the house, the old man, someone is looking for him." The old man shouted twice into the house, and when he saw that no one answered, he said to the child who had spoken to him earlier, "Xiang Ming, go in and call your father." ”

The child jumped into the house, Li Yu looked at the courtyard, there was a drying room on the left side of the courtyard, a few unknown animal skins hung on the wooden frame, and a bunch of newly woven bamboo baskets and bamboo mats were placed on the ground.

Not long after, a sturdy middle-aged man came out of the house, not tall, with dark skin, and a pitted face with Chinese characters, and looked at Li Yu in surprise, "Are you looking for me?" ”

Li Yu was stunned when he heard his tone as if he knew himself, and asked, "Do you know me?" ”

"Aren't you the grandson of Dr. Li's family, I also went there on the day the fish pond started, let's go, let's go in and have tea." The black dog invited Li Yu into the house.

"Oh!" Li Yu suddenly realized that there were many people who went that day, and he basically had no impression.

The black dog's house is an adobe house, the hall house is in the middle, it is the tallest and most spacious, the earthen wall was originally painted, it may be in disrepair, the wall is hung with psoriasis-like lime blocks, revealing the mud wall inside, the wall is pasted with a lot of pictures of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars in the 80s, there is an image of Guanyin on the front wall of the hall house, and a wooden board is placed horizontally below, and an incense burner is placed on it.

In the right corner, there is an old table of eight immortals, with a pile of miscellaneous items piled on it, near the edge of the table is a tea jar, on which there are yellow tea stains, and under the table is a book with a cover Zou Zou Baba, which has been rolled up, the ground is uneven, and there are a few chairs placed horizontally and vertically.

There was a musty smell in the house, which Li Yu has been familiar with in the past few days, and many houses in the countryside exude this smell.

"Sit!" Seeing Li Yu looking around, the black dog was a little embarrassed on his dark face, "There is no one in the house to clean up, and I don't have time for a day." "His daughter-in-law went out to work, and there were three generations of grandchildren in the family, and there was no daughter.

Li Yu saw that the black dog took out a cigarette, it was a five-yuan yellow fruit tree, which was rare now, and hurriedly said, "I don't smoke." Afraid that the black dog would open his mouth to entertain again, he said directly, "I'm here to see if you have any wild things, there have been a lot of people at home recently, and I want to buy some and go back to eat." ”

"That's it!" The black dog thought for a while and said, "I basically didn't get anything from going to the mountains this month, I caught a muntjac two days ago, and I didn't sell it, so I kept it for the family to improve the food, if you are not in a hurry, I will go to the mountain in two days, and if I hit a wild thing, I will send it to you, what do you think?" ”

"That's a good dare, but let me know when you go to the mountain, I haven't been there for a long time, and I want to go to the mountain to see it." Li Yu has always wanted to go to Qingyun Mountain again, and now that he has a professional guide, how could he miss this good opportunity.

"No problem, I'll call you then, but you have to be prepared to endure hardships, the mountains are full of wild forests, and there is everything in them." The black dog readily agreed, and enthusiastically instructed Li Yu to bring some necessary protective equipment.

Li Yu was satisfied with the reply of the black dog and was ready to go home, the black dog wanted to keep Li Yu to eat, Li Yu hurriedly excused himself, saying, "I have already eaten", and the black dog did not force him to stay, and sent him out of the yard.

The workers who came to plant the trees left after eating, the monkeys helped settle the wages, fifty yuan per person, the fish pond began to dig today, and there was already a lot of pond mud piled up on the side, after Li Yu and Uncle Ren discussed the specific range, the rest could not be intervened, and they were idle, so they took the three to go outside.

Walking to the back of the house, suddenly a strong smell of sake lees rushed to his face, Li Yu sneezed fiercely, and the three of them also wrinkled their noses and snorted.

In front of it is a house with a high wall, the smell of sake lees wafts out of it, this family Li Yu knows, it is Li Guobin, a young man, but older than his grandfather, there is a house next to it, it is the house of Li Gang's family.

Li Yu walked around curiously, and looked in through the open courtyard gate, where a layer of steamed sorghum was piled up, and an old man was churning back and forth with a rake fence, looking focused, as if there were priceless treasures piled up in front of him.

"Bingbo, are you going to make wine?" Li Yu walked in and said hello.

Li Guobin raised his head, saw Li Yu, and said with a smile, "It's Xiao Yu, come in and sit, old woman, pour a cup of tea and come out." Li Guobin may be the reason why he has been smoked by wine all the year round, his face is flushed, and he looks very energetic.

"Here we are." Aunt Bin's voice came out loudly, and then I saw a clean old woman walking out quickly with a cup of tea, Aunt Bin is not young, but her body is very tough, and she is famous for being quick in doing things, seeing Li Yu, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, "Xiao Yu, I haven't come to see my aunt for so long, and I am ready to let you Bingbo call you to play." ”

"I've wanted to come here for a long time, but there are a lot of things to do these days, and I can't get out." Li Yu gradually adapted to the enthusiasm of these neighbors and was able to cope with it easily.

"Xiao Yu, do you have a girlfriend? When will I bring it back to my aunt to see. ”

"Not yet, my aunt has a good-looking girl you know to introduce me to one." Li Yu said jokingly.

"Xiaoyu, my aunt watched you grow up, your brother Qingshan was already married when you were so old, my aunt will introduce you another day, there are so many beautiful girls in our Qinghe Town, my aunt has to pick a good one for you." Aunt Bin suddenly came to her senses, women of their age are very enthusiastic about being matchmakers, if the other party is their own nephew, even if it is from the south to the north, they have to match.

"Thank you, auntie! I only like beautiful nephews, and my aunt has to take care of them for me. Li Yu said with a smile.

"No problem, it's on my aunt." Aunt Bin got Li Yu's trust, smiled happily, and patted her chest to reassure.

"Old woman, just stop a little, the Xiao Yu you introduced is not eye-catching." Bingber laughed and joked next to him.

Aunt Bin was not happy to hear this, and said, "What did you say, old man, you didn't drink and were full of nonsense, Xiao Yu believed me." ”

Bingbo is a typical strict wife, and he immediately stopped making a sound, Li Yu hurriedly diverted, "Bingbo, what kind of wine are you brewing?" ”

Qinghe liquor is divided into three categories, one is the Qinghe liquor produced in Qinghe Town, the second is the alpine sorghum wine of the old high mountains, and the third is the Zhuyuan Shochu, the Zhuyuan Shochu is mellow and soft, and the taste is excellent, but the Zhuyuan Shochu is very mysterious, not much is produced every year, the formula is also passed down from family to family, outsiders will not, the alpine sorghum is the favorite of Orion, the mountains are cold, the wine is large, and the heartburn is drunk, and the average person is not used to drinking it, Qinghe Liquor is a decent liquor, the degree is not high, the taste is mellow, and the medicinal wine is generally used Qinghe Yuandu Liquor, In addition to these three wines, there are also quite a few local wines from the countryside.

"Qinghe liquor." At the mention of wine, Bing Bo suddenly looked radiant, his eyes were shining, as if he had changed a person, "Why, Xiao Yu is also interested in wine, and he will accompany Bing Bo to drink two glasses in a while." ”

Bingbo has been rolling in wine for decades, and Li Yu's three and a half sips of wine are not enough to take a sip with Bingbo, so he hurriedly said, "A little, how does this Qinghe liquor sell?" The sales volume should not be small, right? ”

When it came to selling wine, Bing Bo suddenly lost his smile, sighed, and said, "When it comes to sales, not many people buy them now, and when this year's brewing is finished, this winery will be closed next year." ”

"No, Bingbo, you have been a crafter for decades, and the wine you brew is also famous, how can you not sell it." Li Yu wondered, according to the psychology of people now, good goods should not be sold.

"The year before last, Qinghe Town built a distillery, specializing in the production of Qinghe liquor, and now many small distilleries are closed, I have already ordered here, and after brewing, my aunt and I will go out next year, while we can still earn two pension money." Even if the quality of the wine produced by the distillery is similar, the price of the small winery is not cheap, after all, the cost is the weakness of the small winery with low profits and low yields.

Li Yu looked at the two couples who were in a depressed mood, and felt uncomfortable, Uncle Bin would send some old wine to his house every year, grandpa likes to make medicinal wine, the longer the Qinghe wine is fragrant, the more than three years of Qinghe wine can be sold for fifty yuan a catty, and suddenly thought that he has space, if he uses the space to store wine, according to the probability of 10:1 in the space, he will definitely make a lot of money, and suddenly had an idea.

"Bingbo, I'm also going to introduce you to a big business, don't you just close the winery, a friend asked me to buy Qinghe liquor, every year, saying how much to collect, ten yuan a catty, is Bingbo interested?"

"Xiao Yu, are you serious? Didn't you make Bingbo happy? Bin Boru grabbed the drowning man who grabbed the life-saving straw, looked at Li Yu eagerly, his voice trembled slightly, and even Aunt Bin was full of hope. Bingbo has been immersed in wine for decades, and winemaking is already an industry that has been seared into the spinal cord, and if it were not for the persecution of reality, they would not have closed the winery and left their hometown to beg for a living.

"Of course it's true, I don't lie to anyone who deceives my dearest Aunt Bing Bo, my friend said that as long as the output is stable, you can sign a contract at any time, as long as Bing Bo can make wine, you don't have to worry about sales, you are only responsible for making wine and counting the money."

"This, Xiao Yu, this, let me say what? Xiaoyu, Bing Bo thank you. Bingber was so excited that he couldn't speak a complete sentence for a long time.

Aunt Bin wiped the corners of her eyes, choked up and said, "Xiao Yu, you don't know, the old man hasn't slept for months, this wine shop is his lifeblood, good boy, good boy!" ”

Looking at the two old men who were crying excitedly, Li Yu was suddenly a little moved, this is his simple villager, and joked at the moment, "Bingbo, don't get excited, if you can't brew wine, it will be very bad, ten yuan a catty, but it's all money!" This wine can't be broken, and I'm afraid that you two will be too busy in the future. ”

"Xiao Yu, don't worry, I'll call you Brother Qingshan back tomorrow, he can't earn two dollars outside, and this wine is guaranteed to be a lot more in the future." Bingbo solved the matter of the winery, the whole person had hope, and his speech was sonorous and powerful.
