"Uncle Hua, this should be the nineteenth, right?" Zhang Baoer wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked at the alley in front of her and asked.
If you want to make good wine, you must find connoisseurs, just like Yang Ke is an expert in rouge. Zhang Baoer had no shortcuts, so he had to take such a stupid method, he asked Yangu to mark all the large and small wineries in Luzhou City, and inspect them one by one.
"That's right, it's the nineteenth!" Uncle Hua nodded and said, "However, it's another small winery, if it is according to my meaning, we only need to go to those big wineries, and we don't need to go to this small winery." ”
Zhang Baoer went to inspect the wine shop alone, where could Jiang Xiaotong rest assured, so he asked Uncle Hua to follow him every step of the way.
Uncle Hua was very unimpressed with Zhang Baoer's stupid method, and suggested many times that Zhang Baoer should only look at the big wine shop, but Zhang Baoer was very stubborn, but he didn't fall behind.
Sure enough, after listening to Uncle Hua's words, Zhang Baoer shook her head and said: "Just look at the big wine shop, if you miss the right candidate, won't you regret dying?" ”
Uncle Hua stopped talking, led Zhang Baoer into the alley, and stopped in front of the store.
"Uncle Hua, is this here?" Zhang Bao'er looked at the hanging wine banner in front of the door
Uncle Hua looked down at the mark on the paper in his hand, nodded and said, "That's right, it's here!" ”
"Opening a wine shop in such a deep alley, isn't it really good to be good at wine, not afraid of deep alleys?" Zhang Baoer seemed to be talking to herself, and beckoned to Uncle Hua: "Let's go, let's go in and take a look!" ”
With that, he walked towards the sprinkler.
The sprinkler is not big, and there are more than a dozen large wine jars, which makes it even narrower.
"Why is there no one?" Zhang Baoer muttered as she opened the wine seal of the wine jar and sniffed it.
After sniffing out the wine jars one by one, Zhang Bao'er showed a disappointed look on her face.
Uncle Hua saw the result from Zhang Baoer's expression, and he said with a smile. "It seems that this family will not work, let's go!"
Zhang Baoer nodded, and was about to turn around, but saw a man in his thirties coming out from behind.
"This son, do you want to buy wine?" The man greeted Zhang Baoer with a smile on his face.
He exhaled a breath of wine from his mouth, apparently freshly drunk.
"I ......" Zhang Baoer was about to speak, but swallowed back raw.
Zhang Baoer can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, but the face of the man in front of him still startled him: the entire right half of his face is uneven and scarred, and he looks extremely hideous.
Uncle Hua was also shocked by the man's appearance, and he couldn't say a word.
Zhang Bao'er settled down, pointed to the surrounding wine jars and said to the scar-faced man: "I don't want these wines!" ”
The scar-faced man smiled and said, "Childe, all the wine brewed in the small shop is here, and there is no other wine!" ”
"No, there's more!" Zhang Bao'er shook her head and said, "I want the kind of wine you drank just now!" ”
"What I just drank?" The scar-faced man looked surprised, but said nothing.
Zhang Bao'er said proudly: "You don't have to hide it from me, I can smell it, the wine you drank just now is different from these wines!" ”
"This ......," the scar-faced man didn't know how to answer.
Zhang Bao'er restrained her smile and said to the scar-faced man: "Shopkeeper, can you find a secluded place to talk!?" ”
The scar-faced man hesitated slightly, nodded and said to Zhang Bao'er: "Childe, you wait a minute!" ”
After speaking, the scar-faced man walked out of the door and picked up the disguise, which is the rule of the wine shop: if there is wine to sell, hang the wine banner; If there is no wine to sell, accept the wine under the guise of it.
The scar-faced man came in, closed the door from the inside, and beckoned to the two, "Please come with me!" ”
Behind the winery was a small courtyard, and the scar-faced man led them into a room!
After the three of them sat down, Zhang Baoer asked, "The shopkeeper, I don't know what to call it?" ”
"My name is Dong Fei!" The scarface man replied.
"Oh, it's Shopkeeper Dong!" Zhang Baoer groaned slightly and said bluntly to Dong Fei. "I want to ask Shopkeeper Dong to go out of the mountain and help me make wine in the future, I don't know what Shopkeeper Dong thinks?"
Uncle Hua looked at Zhang Baoer in surprise on the side, the two of them found more than a dozen wine shops and met many shopkeepers, but Zhang Baoer was always dissatisfied, and I don't know why she valued the person named Dong Fei in front of her so much.
Dong Fei shook his head without thinking about it and said: "Thank you Gongzi for your love, Dong is just an ordinary winemaker, Gongzi should please be smart!" ”
"I'll pay you a thousand taels of silver every month!" Zhang Baoer stared at Dong Feidao.
Uncle Hua couldn't help but be moved, one thousand taels of silver, this is not a small amount, let alone a month's income, even if you buy a wine shop like him, you can buy three or five.
Dong Fei didn't expect Zhang Bao'er to be so generous, he blushed and said: "Childe, you will be mistaken, I don't think I have less money, this, this is not a problem of money at all!" ”
"What's the problem then?" Zhang Baoer asked.
"This ......" The muscles on Dong Fei's face became distorted, and his already miserable appearance made people feel even more hideous.
Seeing Dong Fei like this, Zhang Bao'er tried her best to slow down her voice and said: "Shopkeeper Dong, I can see that you have encountered a very tricky matter, and it is estimated that you can't solve it by your ability alone, if you can say it, maybe I can help you." ”
Hearing Zhang Bao'er's words, Dong Fei's mood eased slightly, he breathed a deep sigh of relief, nodded and said, "If the son is willing to listen, then I'll tell you about it......"
……
It turned out that this Dong Fei was from Huazhou, and his father was called Dong An. The Dong family is a wealthy family in Huazhou, with a lot of wealth, a family of three, and only Dong Fei is an only son.
Dong Fei was very sensible when he was young, and he was a child who was favored by his neighbors. But when he grew up, he made some fox friends and dog friends, often gambled outside, and lost a lot of money in the family. Dong An saw that his son had repeatedly taught him and realized the seriousness of the matter. He invited many masters to come and train him, but he never got better.
