【Chapter 211】 Spring is blooming

The first time I talked to my father about opening a distillery, the two sides did not reach a consensus. However, Liu Rui was not discouraged, and still set the goal of the future to establish a large-scale brewing enterprise, and all future actions should be towards this goal.

Seeing that his son seemed to have died down, Liu Jiahong's nervousness gradually relaxed. Of course, Liu Jiahong knows that Liu Rui is not the kind of person who gives up easily, but Liu Jiahong still hopes that his son can consider it more carefully.

After all, starting a business is not a trick, and it is not something that can be carried out with a hot head and a pat on the head.

Liu Jiahong is very satisfied with his current life, he has both children and daughters, his husband and wife are harmonious, his eldest son is capable, his younger children are smart, and there is nothing to worry about. According to the current situation, the family's winery has a net income of 180,000 yuan a year, as a farmer, what else can you ask for?

Although Liu Rui's lack of wanting to go to school has become a regret for Liu Jiahong, but under Liu Rui's almost perfect entrepreneurial performance, the regret has gradually been reduced.

There was a slight disagreement between the father and son about the future development, but it did not affect the normal operation of the Liu family.

Every morning, Liujia Distillery still steam rice on a fire before dawn, and the wine can be finished at ten o'clock in the morning, and the rice wine is loaded on a truck waiting in the yard and sent to the county seat. If the customer demand is large, Liu Jiahong will continue to brew another pot to meet the supply of the market.

Because the products of Liujia Distillery taste mellow, even if they are drunk, they will not go up, and they have gradually gained a certain popularity in Qingshan County and Qingzhou City. Many food stalls and restaurants have begun to order Liu's rice wine with sellers.

For this reason, Liu Rui also specially asked his grandfather to write the four big characters of 'Liujia rice wine', and tried to spray it on every wine barrel sent out. In this way, Liu Rui is gradually creating a brand belonging to the Liu family.

Of course, when setting up a business in the future, the registered trademark will have to be named separately, after all, bottled wine and bulk rice wine are two different products, and the concept is completely different.

It was only the fifth day of the first lunar month, and Liu Zhi and Tongtong had already left home and went to school in advance to make up classes. Over the years, the Ministry of Education has been stating that it wants to reduce the burden on students and cannot make up classes, but in practice the implementation is not in place.

However, the pressure of going to school is like a mountain on the heads of parents, students and schools, making them almost breathless. As a result, make-up classes during the holidays have become the norm for the graduating class.

However, because the family's economic situation has improved greatly, Liu Zhi and Tongtong's minds are also focused on studying, and they no longer worry about their families. They packed their bags and books and went to school in high spirits. This year's Spring Festival is very lively in the village, and it is estimated that there will be many topics to talk about with classmates and friends.

After the younger siblings returned to school, the Liu family suddenly became much quieter. The renovation project of the leisure farm and the cultivation base of the tung tree seedlings will not start until after the Lantern Festival. Liu Rui, who was extremely bored, could only set his sights on the brewing of secret koji and special liquor.

Since the establishment of a large-scale distillery is regarded as a future development goal, Liu Rui naturally understands that relying on the current rice wine varieties alone is far from enough. Among the Liu family's ancestral recipes, there are more than a dozen methods for making koji, as well as corresponding brewing processes. Liu Rui has to conduct a comprehensive test of these secret recipes, so that he can truly master these recipes and make corresponding technical reserves for the establishment of the winery in the future.

In these years, no matter what product you do, it is essential to have the corresponding characteristics. If there is no product quality, the future development will be greatly limited.

In Liu Rui's plan, he first experimented with fine wines with different tastes on a small scale, and explored some technical problems in large-scale production. Secret recipes can never create value when placed in a box, and can only be gradually effective if they are practiced accordingly.

Of course, the most important thing is to carefully study the market demand and produce liquor suitable for the taste of Chinese. After all, these ancestral recipes are decades old or hundreds of years old, and the market and consumer tastes have changed dramatically. Although Liu Rui respects tradition, he is not a dead and old-fashioned spirit.

Just when Liu Rui was concentrating on the study of the secret koji and brewing process, the outside world had quietly undergone a slight change.

Perhaps in the north, just after the Spring Festival, it was still covered in snow and covered in snow, but in Liangcun, the Spring Festival already means that the spring avenue is approaching.

Just after the Spring Festival, the cold north wind in the air seems to have become gentler. The gentle wind swept gently over the hill, and the continuous tree waves were like a green ocean, making bursts of waves; The calm lake is also blown with waves, making people feel the slightest gentle breath.

The sun in the sky climbs more diligently, and the warm sunlight is everywhere, making the whole world more warm.

The warmer weather has lifted the spirits of the migratory birds that have shrunk in their nests a few days ago, and they have left their nests one after another to frolic and forage for food on the lake and the lake. It seems that I can feel that the time I live in Xiaojing Lake is getting shorter and shorter, and these migratory birds are a little reluctant.

Qingyue's bird cry broke through the boundaries of space and reached the ears of the villagers of Liang Village, which gave the villagers a familiar feeling again.

It is no wonder that the villagers of Liang Village have been guarding these migratory birds for decades and have long been accustomed to the every move of these neighbors. If you can't see the graceful figure of migratory birds and can't hear the cry of Qingyue, the villagers will naturally feel a little empty in their hearts.

Now, the sun is out, and the migratory birds have also recovered their spirits, which is enough to bring the lives of the villagers of Liangcun back to a normal trajectory.

The chirping of these migratory birds seems to be a signal, a rallying cry urging the villagers to go out and work.

Here in Liangcun, there is a saying, that is: 'At the beginning of spring on the fifth day of the first month, do what you have to do!' ’

Often on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, many villagers have already finished their vacations and began to pick up various tools to support their families.

Villagers who are fishing begin to collect fishing boats and nets, and after paying homage to the god of water and their ancestors, they row like water and cast the first net of the new year. Perhaps, the market demand for all kinds of fish in the market after the New Year is not high, but fishermen do not rest for such reasons, because the harvest of the year depends on whether you are industrious at the beginning of the New Year.

There is a sentence in the book that says: "The plan of the year lies in the spring!" The villagers of Liang Village don't know much about these big truths, but they are already used to working hard after the beginning of spring.

Last year, he earned a lot of income from growing vegetables on the sand by the lake, which made the villagers of Liang Village more enthusiastic about growing vegetables for a living. Even though the freezing rain before the Spring Festival caused a lot of losses to the villagers, the villagers were more active. No, it's just spring, and more and more villagers are carrying various tools and driving small agricultural machinery to the lake.

Under the illumination of the sparkling waves and the company of the birds, the villagers of Liang Village sowed the seeds of happiness and nurtured hope for the future.

Around the Spring Festival, Liang Village began to flutter rain for one or two days, but it made the whole Liang Village like a fairyland. Compared with the cold and bone-chilling rain some time ago, the rain has become very gentle, and people can't help but indulge in it.

At night, Liu Rui, who had nothing to do, got up early and thought about something.

Lying on the bed, Liu Rui listened to the dull thunder, the whistling wind, and the creaking sound of the branches swaying outside the window, and it was difficult to sleep for a while. Although the misty spring rain of the past few days brought the breath of spring, it was only that.

The insects that hibernate in winter have not yet woken up, and the croaking frogs have not yet sung their cries for spring, so that spring now feels unusually quiet, so quiet that it feels a little unreal. I think the arrival of the stinging day should wake up the insects and make the season lively.

Slowly, the sound of the wind became quieter and quieter, and the thunder gradually increased, stretching endlessly, as if a firecracker was being set off in a person's ear. Immediately afterward, the sound of raindrops hitting tiles and leaves began one after another, crackling, and the raindrops, which turned out to be the size of beans, had begun to pour down eagerly.

The spring rain of the previous days was the kind of moisturizing and silent drizzle, which was completely different from the imposing rain tonight. The sound of the night rain hitting the banana leaves is like the feeling of big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate, and slowly, Liu Rui fell asleep in this rhythm.

The next day, Liu Rui was woken up by a burst of birdsong, and when he walked out of the yard, he found that everything in front of him seemed to have changed.

The blue sky in front of you is so pure that it hurts to feel the pain, and the white clouds float leisurely in the sky, changing shapes from time to time, as if to show people their charm. The mountains and forests near the Liu family's compound seem to have been cleaned, and they look very refreshing, and the emerald green color makes people feel bright.

After the spring rain, the entire Xiaoqing Mountain Range seems to come to life, and all kinds of scenery emerge at once, which makes people overwhelmed. It seemed that overnight, the world changed dramatically.

The spring color became thicker overnight, and the spring rain that had just fallen washed the earth and swept away the lifeless remnants of the long winter. The sun's rays gently embraced everything, and the warm air trembled with the steam rising from the awakened ground.

The grass of the next year showed green again, the new green grass lazily collapsed on the ground, and a layer of green smoke floated from the willow branches by the small mirror lake; Passing over the river and in the willow smoke, the air was filled with their murmuring sounds; The tabby frog began to call powerfully in the narrow, deep mud holes along the mountain stream.

Originally, the leaves fell barely, and there were only some hideous branches left on the peach tree, and I don't know when three or two pale red peach blossoms appeared. These beautiful elves that quietly appeared stood on top of the dark tree trunks, showing off their beautiful bodies to the people.

The impact of the coquettish and cold appearance at the same time is extremely strong, and people's eyes are attracted by these small pale red flowers that appear on the trunk of the tree. In the past, people would always use the beauty and the beast to describe the bizarre nature of certain fairy tales, but in the face of the magic of nature, all words turned pale.

As if overnight, the spring flowers bloomed all over the mountains, just like a fairy in the sky scattered countless petals in the air and landed on the bare tree trunks. It was just like an overnight event, and spring immediately came to people.

'Blowing the face does not chill the willow wind', the spring breeze is like a beloved caressing his cheeks, making people feel a burst of heat on their faces. The moist, warm spring breeze blows gently over the hills, mixing the fragrance of flowers, plants and trees, and the smell of spring.

The smell of spring is always so refreshing that it is unforgettable.

From a distance, the goose-yellow willow forest is very eye-catching, maybe they are the first green plants to feel the charm of the spring breeze. The low-hanging willows were already a tender yellow patch, swaying gently with the breeze. The slender wicker is like a dancer with beautiful movements, bringing people a pleasing performance in the spring breeze.

The orioles in the willow grove are singing, and after a winter spell of cold spells, they are back in their favorite season.

Dots of pale red, fiery red, upturned or white flowers dot the mountains and forests near Liang Village, radiating an enviable color of life.

The area around Liang Village has become a world of flowers, and those bright flower bones bloom all over the mountain forest, covering up the color of those green leaves and branches. All that catches people's eyes are those flowers of different colors and shapes, and all of a sudden, the breath of spring hits the depths of everyone's heart.

The whole world is as if it has just been washed, it is very refreshing, the air is very fresh, and the breath is sweet, like drinking honey. The spring breeze is warm, the bright spring light shines on the earth, and everything presents a piece of vitality, forming a beautiful landscape map.

All sorts of wildflowers also woke up, and they stretched their waists, raised their heads, and scrambled to be the first to bloom, red, yellow, blue, white, purple...... It's really colorful and colorful. Although these flowers are not precious, they decorate this youthful meadow with their own little gestures, and selflessly dedicate everything they have to the earth.

The fragrance of flowers in the spring breeze is getting stronger and stronger, and there seems to be a smell of new life wafting in the air.

The birds, which were rarely seen in winter, had finally appeared in the willow grove, and they could clearly feel the warmth of spring, so they began to sing excitedly one by one. These birds are singing melodies and breezes and streams.

Orioles, cuckoos, magpies, and many, many other unknown birds, as if they had emerged from the ground, suddenly turned the mountains and forests around Liangcun into a world of birds.

The green leaves on the tree are sparse, the flowers are like a brocade, the flowers are fragrant and the birds are singing, and the breeze and water under the tree are dingdong dong, and they respond to each other. Those migratory birds who know that they are not many here are even more excited, and they can always make various sounds, as if they want to express their affection for Xiaojing Lake and Liangcun in this way.

So, they flew over the lake to their heart's content, wanting to start recovering their instincts to fly and fully prepare for the upcoming long journey.

The wide wings of the migratory birds are flapping gracefully, and the graceful figure is like the finishing touch, which suddenly enlivens the entire Liangcun and even the Xiaoqingshan area.

If there are only changes in the scenery, and there are no traces of migratory birds and animals, I am afraid that the so-called spring will not live up to its name.

The originally cold water has now become a different look, and even the silent water is showing people the traces of the arrival of spring. The water of Xiaojing Lake has turned pure green, and it seems that they are all dyed with the color of spring.

The whole Liang Village is now like a beautiful picture, which can only be watched from a distance, and it does not attract people's thoughts of destruction at all.

Blue sky, white clouds, green water, red flowers, ,......, are all mixed together, but they don't feel abrupt or complicated. These landscapes are organically combined, as if they are one, but it is a bit natural.

Standing on the courtyard dam, looking at Liang Village, Xiaojing Lake, and the nearby Xiaoqingshan Mountain Range like a beautiful picture scroll under the mountain, even Liu Rui was deeply attracted.

To say that before, Liu Rui had seen this kind of scenery countless times, but now that he looks at it again, Liu Rui finds that he has more feelings.

In the past, Liu Rui always felt that these landscapes were rustic, and they were not as neatly planned as the neatly planned landscapes in the city in TV and movies. However, since owning the Shennong space, Liu Rui has become more and more intimately aware of nature, and can always experience the breathtaking beauty in the messy scenery.

With this understanding, Liu Rui is more confident in developing the tourism resources of Liangcun, Xiaojinghu and Xiaoqingshan. Although Liu Rui does not know the thoughts of tourists in the city, in his opinion, beautiful things will always be welcomed by most people.

Liu Rui firmly believes that as long as a large number of dove trees are planted without destroying the scenery of Liang Village, so that Liang Village becomes a 'Dove Tong Village', it will definitely make the picture in front of him more beautiful. After Liangcun becomes beautiful, it can attract more tourists to travel, promote the development of Liangcun, and make it more famous.

With fame, Liu Rui's future winery and various products can be known to more people through the fame of Liangcun and Xiaoqingshan, and enter the fast lane of development.

It is precisely because of this cycle of good surnames that Liu Rui is willing to put his mind on the planning and thinking of the development of Liangcun.

As the saying I learned in politics class: "The big river has water, and the small river does not dry!" ”

Liang Village has a greater development, which in turn will definitely promote the development of the Liu family's various undertakings, which is a complementary reason!
