Chapter 55: Wine Tasting

When he got up early the next day, Zhang Shuting got up to go to the pot, and through the window, he suddenly saw Zhang Yuping, who lived in the same room with the eldest old lady, going out with a urinal, knowing that the child was going to pour urine for the two old ladies. For a while, I suddenly remembered what I said to my child yesterday.

Therefore, when Zhang Yuping came back from urinating, she also called him to come to his house through the window. Zhang Yuping thought that Zhang Shuting called him to ask him to pour urine for their house. When he came in, he lowered his head to look for a urinal, Zhang Shuting asked him what he was looking for, and Zhang Yuping replied to find a urinal for his father and mother to take out. Zhang Haoshi on the side told him that he had fallen early in the morning.

Zhang Shuting also waved his hand and asked him to sit down and talk. Zhang Yuping didn't sit again, but stood in a proper manner.

"Sit down and talk, kid!" Zhang Haoshi on the side was also busy talking, and his words were full of love for children.

Zhang Yuping still shook her head and replied:

"Parents tell me that children can't sit."

Zhang Shuting knew that this child was sensible, but he didn't know that he was so sensible. In addition, his daughter and son are still young, in fact, they are not much smaller. Daughter Zhang Ruonan is only three years younger than this child, but she can't see a little sensible, and her son Zhang Ping'an is also five years old, and he is used to being used to it by the two old ladies. Therefore, seeing that Zhang Yuping understood etiquette so well, I liked it more in my heart, so I asked more affectionately and simply:

"Dad called you in, just to hear the truth from you, do you want to study?!"

saw that Zhang Yuping's face was red at first, and then he nodded simply and said:

"Yes!"

Again

"However, I'm not going to study, I'm going to work in a pot!"

When Zhang Shuting heard this, he was stunned, but before he could speak, he listened to Zhang Haoshi on the side speak first.

"Why don't you children, isn't it better to study than to work?" Zhang Haoshi asked puzzled.

"Studying is a mother who costs money, and when my father rescued me at Yongdingmen, he had already spent a lot of money, and I didn't want to spend my father's money anymore." Zhang Yuping said.

As he said, he also told Zhang Shuting and his wife that when his father was alive, he was a scholar and taught him to read and write when he was a few years old. Now I know a lot of words.

When Zhang Shuting and his wife heard this, they were even more moved, and for a while, Zhang Shuting shook his hand again and said:

"In the future, we must always remember the children, we are all a family, and in front of my father, we are not allowed to see each other when we speak."

Again:

"Since you want to study, Dad will send you to study today!"

Speaking of which, in the spring of this year, in the Runquanyong Pot Shop Hall, that is, on the basis of the original Gusui Academy, a new model primary school was established, at that time, as a donation squire, Zhang Shuting also attended the opening ceremony of the school. I know that this is a junior primary school that specializes in children of the size of Zhang Yuping. For a while, it was decided to send Zhang Yuping to study in the Model Primary School.

However, I haven't heard that Zhang Yuping will not be sent to the model primary school to study, and when Zhang Yuping is sent to the school, I heard from the school director and principal that Governor Wang Qintang, who has been serving in Ansu for almost three years, has resigned as governor of Ansu because of his illness due to long-term hard work, and is ready to leave for his hometown in Handan to recuperate in a day or two.

Zhang Shuting didn't hear about it, and it was nothing. When I heard about this, my heart moved. When he came back and talked to Qi Zhankui, Qi Zhankui also felt a lot of emotion, and immediately said:

"In my opinion, since I have heard about it, it is better to send a few jars of good wine over to show my gratitude."

Again:

"Speaking of which, the governor of this king treats us not badly!"

After hearing this, Zhang Shuting first nodded, then shook his head and said:

"Actually, I didn't want to send a few jars of good wine when I discussed with you. According to Governor Wang's temperament, even if we send it over, I'm afraid he won't accept it. ”

Again:

"Governor Wang came to Ansu and did so many good things for the local government, I want to organize local squires, see where to set up a few tables, and collectively come to see Governor Wang off."

"On the wine table, I simply drank the freshly burned wine on Lao Yang's mouth, although I brewed some, but it would definitely surprise everyone at that time. In this way, those rumors are also self-defeating. Qi Zhankui said with some comprehension.

"That's what I mean, too." Zhang Shuting also smiled a little excitedly.

Again:

"I'm just worried about whether it's inappropriate to do this, think about it, we set up a banquet to see off Governor Wang, if things get like this, isn't it appropriate?"

Qi Zhankui pondered for a moment, and then said:

"If that's the case, we won't say that we will see Governor Wang off, just set up a few tables in the front yard of our pot, and simply sing that everyone is invited to taste the wine cooked by Lao Yangxin, we believe that Governor Wang will not not come."

Again:

"If you're worried that Governor Wang won't come. We simply told Governor Wang about the rumors, and according to Governor Wang's enthusiasm for local industries, he would definitely come again. After eating and drinking, it is not too late for us to express our intentions, and it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. ”

Zhang Shuting nodded and said:

"I'm afraid it's only like this, let's go, we'll go to the county office now and ask Governor Wang to go."

For a while, Zhang Shuting finished speaking, and went to the county office with Qi Zhankui.

When I came to the county office, I saw the secretary Xiao Zhang, who was packing up something in Governor Wang's office, and when I asked, he said that Governor Wang was talking to several major leaders of the county office in the meeting room next door.

Zhang Shuting and Qi Zhankui sat down and waited. It was only half an hour before I saw Governor Wang walking back from next door. As soon as Zhang Shuting saw it, he found that Governor Wang's face was indeed much paler than before. He also sounded a little short of breath.

For a while, Zhang Shuting couldn't help but retreat in his heart, and his thoughts suddenly felt a little unbearable to say.

However, when he saw that it was Zhang Shuting and Qi Zhankui, Governor Wang seemed very happy, and he didn't wait to ask them what they were looking for him, so he first asked about the situation on the pot.

This question, Zhang Shuting was a little uncontrollable, so he sighed, and then said that the pot had died since last year, and then the rumors started again, which seriously affected the business and hired a new style to burn good wine, 1510.

As I said, I thought about inviting Governor Wang to go to the pot to taste the freshly brewed wine, but looking at Governor Wang's somewhat pale face, I couldn't help but stop.

However, when Qi Zhankui saw Zhang Shuting hesitating and stopped, he said very simply:

"They all rumored that our cellars, which had been destroyed by the men, were no longer drinking. But after recovery, not only did he drink more, but the wine tasted better. ”

Again:

"We are here to invite Governor Wang to come over and give us a testimony to see if the cellars produce wine or not, and what kind of wine is being burned. If it's as I said, the rumors are self-defeating. ”

Wang Qintang nodded, but he said:

"It's okay for me to go, but I don't know how to drink, so I can't give you a testimonial?"

After that, he muttered for a moment and said:

"Besides, now that I have resigned as governor of Ansu, I will soon leave Ansu and return to my hometown in Handan. I'm afraid I don't have much strength to speak. ”

Wang Qintang didn't say this, Zhang Shuting was still hesitating, and when he heard Wang Qintang say this, he stood up and said:

"In any case, Governor Wang is the governor of one party, as long as Governor Wang is present, it will be an affirmation of us!"

Governor Wang nodded and said:

"I said, there is no problem for me to go, the key is, how can I give your pot a fair statement?"

Said and said:

"Since it's wine tasting, you should find someone who understands wine. I don't think it's as good as this, I suggest that the county office let them come forward and invite the owners of the pots in the county to come, and let them give you a fair explanation, how about I, as an old man, go and preside over it? ”

Again:

"The reason why I was able to select the wine of your pot and go to the United States to participate in the competition as Zhili sorghum wine is not entirely dependent on those of you who know wine."

When Zhang Shuting heard it, of course this is better. However, he added:

"I also hope to invite the squires in the county and the public officials of the county office to try it, so that the rumors will naturally have no place."
