Chapter 36: The Old Dealer

After leaving Jiao Haiqing's house, it was almost noon, and Wei Renshi went to the winemaker's shop.

Follow the road until you reach the south of Fuchang City, go out of the city gate, slip out of the city wall and walk a short distance, you see a mud house on the side of the road, a shed is set up in front of the door, a few desks are placed below, a few Hu Zhuang, and a few people are sparsely sitting.

There was a wooden sign hanging on the pillar next to it, and the word wine was written. The wooden sign on the other pillar has the word tea.

Xi'er pointed and said, "Lang Jun, that is Uncle Sun's house." ”

Wei Renshi nodded, walked over, and sat down on the hut outside.

After a while, a little doll ran out of it, about seven or eight years old, and asked in a milky voice, "What do you want to drink?" ”

"A bowl of turbid wine, a bowl of tea soup." Wei Renshi said to the little doll with a smile.

The doll turned around and ran in.

Not long after, a middle-aged man walked out with two large bowls.

walked up, was stunned, and said, "Lang Jun? Xi'er? ”

He put the bowl in his hand on the table again, and saluted Wei Ren: "I've seen Shaolangjun!" ”

Wei Renshi didn't expect him to recognize himself, but he smiled when he saw Xi'er very familiar, and said, "Brother Youqing, is Ah Weng here?" ”

"Aya is behind, I'm going to call him out." The middle-aged man saluted Wei Ren again, and then turned around and walked back.

"I thought he didn't recognize me." Wei Renshi saw that he went to the back, turned his head and said to Xi'er.

Xi'er covered her mouth and smiled: "Last year, Brother Youqing and Sun Aweng went to the house together and sent a few times of food, how could they not recognize Lang Jun." ”

Soon, Sun Youqing walked out again, followed by an old man, walked closer, and like Sun Youqing of Fang Cai, he saluted and said, "I've seen Shaolangjun!" ”

"Ah Weng, don't be so polite." Wei Renshi got up and pulled him: "Come, sit down together, and Brother Youqing will also sit together!" ”

After everyone sat down, Wei Renshi smiled and said, "Sun Aweng, after so many years, you still remember our family, and I thank you here." ”

"Where is Shaolangjun, we were able to survive because of the kindness of our old club, and we had such a big family later. Although the owner is down, this kindness cannot be forgotten. If it weren't for the fact that my old man had no ability, why would I let Shao Langjun live this hard life? The old man shook his head and said, "Don't blame me for the old man, that's all I can do!" ”

"If it weren't for Sun Aweng's constant help, my family would only be afraid that life would be even more difficult. Sun Aweng's kindness is remembered in my heart. Wei Renshi said to him: "Now our family's life is better, we have no worries about food and clothing, and we still have an account." is to think of Sun Aweng's help for so many years, and he wants to repay Sun Aweng's kindness. ”

The old man shook his head again and again and waved his hand: "How can this be made?" I can't help it! I can't help it! The old club saved the lives of our big family, and failed to help the old club greet the family, we have no face, how can we teach Shao Langjun to treat it like this! ”

Wei Renshi looked left and right, but asked again: "Brother Youqing, how is the business of this wine shop?" ”

Sun Youqing shook his head and said, "It's not good." ”

Wei Renshi tasted the wine in the bowl, and the taste was okay, but it was also thick and green, and there was a strange sweetness of slightly fermentation.

"Sun Aweng, can I go to the back and have a look?" Wei Renshi said to Sun Laohan.

"Yes is naturally can, but I'm afraid of smoking Shaolangjun." Sun Laohan said.

Wei Renshi stood up and said with a smile: "I'll go and have a look at the back." ”

With that, he walked to the back, and several other people got up and immediately followed.

At this time, the sake brewery was generally a sake brewery in the back, and a sake shop selling sake in the front. Wei Renshi walked to the back and saw only a small earthen house, which exuded the smell of fermented grain.

The place was too small, and Wei Renshi stood there, with almost no place to put his feet.

The small size of the place actually affects the brewing of sake.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the dried grain, whether the grain is clean or not, and how well it is dried, directly determines the color of the wine. This place is so small, and the grain can't be dried thoroughly. Batch by batch, the degree is definitely different.

Not to mention that the grain has to be steamed in the small house, and the grain and koji cannot be leaked when the grain and koji are cooked, and if the air leaks, there will be no taste.

After fermented and half-cooked grain goes abroad, it has to be spread out for mixing, batching, accumulation and pre-fermentation, and this place can no longer be squeezed.

The cellar pond is also too small, which is not conducive to uniform fermentation and aging.

"Teach Shao Langjun to smile." Sun Laohan rubbed his hands a little embarrassed behind him and said.

"Sun Aweng, I'm going to set up a winery to make a new wine. This new wine is as clear as water and has a long aftertaste, which can be pleasant and pleasant, but also rich and deep. When it is light, it is like a clear breeze and bright moon, and when it is hot, it is like a scorching sun. Wei Renshi said to Sun Laohan: "I want to ask you to help me for a few days to make some finished products first." If not, you have been brewing wine all your life, and you will definitely be able to see the shortcomings. If it succeeds, I just need a master who knows how to drink to take charge of the winery. ”

"The old man was kind to the old owner, and Shaolangjun asked the old man to help Shaolangjun make wine, and the old man helped Shaolangjun to make wine." Sun Laohan said.

"Aye......" Sun Youqing pulled him beside him, seeing that his father did not react, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward and said: "Shaolangjun, you mean, you want to do this winemaking business, and you want me Aya to be a master?" ”

Wei Renshi nodded and said, "Not bad." If Sun Aweng is willing to be a master, Sun Aweng will have a monopoly on the annual dividend. ”

"Shaolangjun, this winemaking business is actually not easy to do." Sun Youqing said to Wei Renshi: "Not to mention whether this wine is good or not, even if it makes good wine, there are also official wineries, and other big wineries are in control, and they can only earn a small amount of money from passers-by." ”

"The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys." Wei Renshi shook his head and said, "It's still not good enough for wine." ”

"Shaolangjun, you are a scholar, the old owner and the owner are dedicated to studying, if you know that you want to do business, wouldn't it be ......" Sun Youqing said: "Shaolangjun, don't be impulsive, if you really don't succeed, it's better to take a look at our wine shop for a while before deciding." If you look at it, you can see that this is not a good business. ”

"As for whether you want to be the master of my winery, I'll talk about that later." Wei Renshi said: "Sun Aweng will help me brew some first, and see if my method can be successful, it doesn't matter, right?" ”

Sun Youqing thought for a while and said, "Okay, where is Shaolangjun going to brew?" Everything here is ready-made, so I'm here. ”

Wei Renshi looked left and right and said, "Okay, let's try it here at Sun Aweng first." Before that, I had to build a guy, and when I did, I'll bring it over and try it. It won't be long, three or five days later. ”
