This is the largest timber distribution center in Qingshan County, and almost all the wood produced and processed wood products in the Qingyun Mountains go to the whole country from here, so it is not wrong to buy your favorite wood products here.

It is jointly run by the Forestry Department and the state farm, and the timber is directly transported here by train after it is cut down in the mountains, and the wood products are bought here by self-employed people and then rented a store to process and make them directly here, and then sell them to the outside world. Due to the large number of visitors here, the buying and selling of those wood products is also very popular.

It was only ten o'clock at this time, which was the time when the business was hot, and from time to time you could see flatbed trucks pulling a full load of logs out of the market, and after a while, several large trucks drove in.

People stand on piles of thick logs, spitting about prices, or picking and discerning wood products in front of a door.

Demanding, bargaining, boasting...... The whole timber market is full of people and noisy.

Zhou Yu walked a few shops, but he also came across some wooden barrels, mostly pine. However, the wooden barrels are not atmospheric and beautiful, and some of them are not worthy of their own wines, so they should be prepared for the nearby villagers.

My wine is so sweet and delicious that it has the magical effect of strengthening the body, so I have to get a decent wooden barrel to put it, right? Besides, it is inevitable that you will have to give it away in the future, is it possible that you will carry a broken wooden barrel that your grandfather doesn't love and grandma doesn't love? I can't say anything about this face!

And the wine is only more authentic if it is fermented in oak barrels. This is why the world's best wines are fermented in oak barrels.

In line with the attitude of seeking refinement, Zhou Yu worked tirelessly around the huge market to find it.

After half an hour, Zhou Yu traveled through most of the market. I didn't find any oak barrels that I was satisfied with, and some of them felt okay. But there is still a certain gap from the degree of perfection in my mind.

"Let's go to a few more shops, and if you can't find it, buy the one you just had." Anyway, I can see it. ”

Having made a decision in his heart, Zhou Yu continued to walk forward without hurry.

After walking a short distance, Zhou Yu found that there was a shop at the turn in front of him, with a few poles outside and several antique oak barrels hanging on them, and under the sunlight, he could faintly see some patterns carved on the barrel wall.

Zhou Yu felt a little interesting, so he walked a few steps quickly to get closer and wanted to take a closer look. Zhou Yu was pleasantly surprised at this look, "I found it." Finally found it. ”

On the wall of several barrels in that antique place, the main body is painted as a vigorous pine standing among the clouds, a few cranes or spreading their wings looming in the clouds, or standing on the pine branches to lead the neck to chirp, the clouds and mist are swirling, the pine cranes prolong their years, and the end is auspicious and infinite.

Zhou Yu fell in love with these barrels at just one glance, but he didn't know what the price of the road was, and whether he could satisfy himself in terms of quantity.

The owner of the shop, Wang Changlin, has just made an order. I sold more than a dozen large wooden barrels, and I was sitting in the store drinking tea at this time, when I suddenly found that a young man had been looking at the wooden barrel hanging outside, and quickly drank two sips of tea and ran out.

"Little brother. Want to buy a cask? Heck, you've got the right place. Take a good look, I still have a complete range of goods here, and they are well made. The price is fair, and you are guaranteed that you will not lose money. As he spoke, he pulled Zhou Yu into the store.

Zhou Yu smiled. As the shopkeeper entered the store.

There is nothing else in the store, and the entire area of more than 200 square meters is densely packed with wooden barrels. There is everything big and small, round and square. Zhou Yu smacked his tongue.

"Boss, are there any of those patterned oak barrels hanging outside?"

"Yes, how can you not? But brother, that's not cheap, in fact, the pine is also good, and the price is not high, it's quite suitable for our people. ”

Wang Changlin saw Zhou Yu's dress, a typical posterior in the mountains, so he said a word to him honestly.

"Oh, how much is this oak barrel and a pine barrel?" Zhou Yu asked with a smile.

"Twenty pounds of pine wood are eighty pieces each, and fifty pounds are two hundred pieces each. As for the oak ones, there are no fifty pounds, but only ten pounds and twenty pounds. Ten catties are 200 pieces each, and 20 catties are 400 pieces. ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Changlin himself felt that it was a little expensive, but there was no way, the raw materials of this oak barrel were expensive, and the processing was particularly difficult, so he couldn't sell it at a loss, right?

Zhou Yu also felt a pain when he heard this, and muttered in his heart: "Damn, I need at least a few hundred oak barrels, is it possible that I will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy wooden barrels before the wine is brewed?" What's this called? However, there is only one oak barrel in the market, and there is no such shop in this village.

In order to make the wine more perfect, Lao Tzu will go out once and get a thousand of it! ”

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu asked again: "Boss, if I want to buy more, can you give it a little more?" ”

"Buy more? Little brother, let me tell you the truth, this oak barrel is very difficult to sell, so I didn't dare to sell it at a high price, this price is almost the capital.

That's it, I think you're pretty happy, little brother, if you want to buy a hundred at once, I'll save you thirty dollars each, and I'll lose money if I don't have any less. ”

Wang Changlin is not stupid, he has sold barrels for so many years, and he has never seen a few people who can buy a hundred at once, and it is such a dead expensive oak barrel. If you can't buy a hundred, I'm sorry, never bargain.

"Oh, I see, what if it's a thousand?" Zhou Yu nodded, and then asked again.

With a "plop", Boss Wang sat on the ground with weak legs, and said to Zhou Yu with a wry smile: "I said brother, you are not kind, today you are here to find my brother to be poor, right?" ”

Anyway, Wang Changlin has been in this business for more than 20 years, and he has never encountered thousands of big orders at one time, Zhou Yu said this, plus his wear, is it not a joke?

"Hehe, boss, you misunderstood, I'm right, if I buy a thousand ten-pound oak barrels, how much can you give me the cheapest?"

"Brother, are you serious?" Boss Wang jumped up from the ground and asked in disbelief.

"If the price satisfies me, I'll get it today." Zhou Yu said affirmatively.

"Oh, brother, I see that you are a person who does big things, okay, brother, I will specify the cheapest price for you, you sit first, and I will make you a pot of tea."

After listening to Zhou Yu's affirmative reply, Wang Changlin was so happy that his bones were lighter, and he hurriedly took out twelve points of enthusiasm to make tea.

Zhou Yu shook his head, muttering in his heart that this is really a standard businessman.

After a while, the boss brought out a cup of fragrant tea, with a few emerald green leaves floating on it, not to mention drinking, just looking at it had the urge to drink it all.

"Boss, your tea is really good, I'm full of your light today. But the price? ”

Zhou Yu took two sips of tea, feeling that the tea was fragrant and full of fragrance. But the price should be cut or it must be cut.

"Brother, if you can really buy a thousand oak barrels, brother, I won't play with you anymore, just one hundred and fifty yuan, if you think it's okay, we'll pay the money with one hand and deliver it with the other, if not, you can take a look again, our brothers can't buy and sell benevolence, and when we see each other in the future, we nod and smile and are friends, what do you think?"

Zhou Yu summed it up in his heart, this price is estimated to be the limit, so he simply bought it for a thousand.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu also said happily: "Okay boss, this matter is so decided, one hundred and fifty yuan a piece, I want a thousand." However, you need to keep the quality and quantity in order, and try to make the pattern on the wall of the barrel as elegant as possible. ”

"Brother, I didn't say it, if there is a leak, you will come to hit me in the mouth, I dare not say anything else, if you want to say that the quality of my barrels here is just right, you can rest assured that these oak barrels were originally prepared for some high-end customers, so the pattern is either a pine crane or a small bridge flowing water, tsk, the artistic conception is so high that there is no boundary. Let me tell you, if you use my oak barrels to make wine, you don't need to eat alcohol, you can drink two catties just by looking at the paintings on the walls of the barrels......"

Wang Changlin was so excited that he couldn't do it, his mouth didn't open the door, and Hu Tianhai blew it.

After that, the excited Boss Wang led Zhou Yu to his family's processing factory near the timber market and brought out some oak barrels for Zhou Yu to check.

Zhou Yu randomly spot-checked more than a dozen of them, and found that although the boss did not speak the door, the quality of his goods was indeed good, not to mention the exquisite pattern carving, even the combination of the barrel and the lid was also processed into threads, and after screwing on, not a drop of water leaked, and the quality was indeed not said.

Seeing that these oak barrels were of such good quality, Zhou Yuyi happily bought ten tall wooden barrels with a capacity of 200 catties. Although these barrels are assembled, they are of good quality, and they also have lids, which can be used for early fermentation of the peaches after being sealed, and then filtered and then put into oak barrels for later fermentation.

This time, Zhou Yu spent 200,000 yuan, but fortunately, he could swipe his card here, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to withdraw so much money at once.

The boss was very happy, and when he saw that Zhou Yu liked to drink tea, he simply packed and took away most of the remaining half of the best Biluochun for Zhou Yu, which made Zhou Yu cry and laugh.

As usual, Zhou Yu asked Boss Wang to find a big truck to load the barrels into the car and pull them to the open space on the outskirts of Taiping Town, and after unloading the car, he asked the driver and some laborers to go back, and Zhou Yu went back and forth to get the barrels into the space.

Then Zhou Yu went to the town and bought a high-power solar battery and an air compressor, as well as several air pumps and some plastic pipes. Because this time I have to make a lot of wine, I can't finish it by relying on my own manpower, so I just rely on machinery.

After the last, Zhou Yu bought a few sacks of rock candy and a large amount of fine gauze, and then drove back to the mountain in a van. (To be continued......)
