Chapter Ninety-Five: Wine Evening
At the end of the meeting, Xiao Yao announced in public the establishment of the board of directors of Xinghuacun Distillery, and briefly introduced the significance, rights and obligations of the board of directors in a few sentences. In addition to Xiao Yao, there are five other people, namely the village head, two patriarchs and Wang Dali, and the last position will be voted by the villagers to elect a villager with outstanding ability and political integrity.
Five people have six votes, Wang Dali holds two votes, and the remaining four have one vote each, and Xiao Yao has the right to remove any board member. After Xiao Yao leaves the village, a qiē thing will be voted on by the board members.
Everyone was a little stunned when they heard Xiao Yao's temporary decision, and Wang Dali was even more dumbfounded, like being struck by lightning, he couldn't understand why he became that board member for no reason? Is it really pie in the sky that hit me?
Wang Dali's position was thought of by Xiao Yao in advance, and the incident that happened at the entrance of Tongguò Village made Xiao Yao have a good impression of Wang Dali, and this person met his requirements. Xiao Yao even saw that the two patriarchs were forgetful of profit, but they had a special status in the village and had to be used, so Xiao Yao set up a board of directors and pulled Wang Dali's father and son into the board of directors together to coerce them from doing wrong.
After the meeting was over, it was noon, and Wang Dali took Xiao Yao and his party back home. Before the meeting, Wang Dali told his wife to prepare wine and food, and stewed the only old hen in the family to eat. When Xiao Yao and the others arrived, the table was already full of dishes, and there were several jars of wine next to them.
After a few rounds of drinking, everyone drank happily and in high spirits, only Meng Ling'er, the master and servant, only drank a small amount and sat aside to chat with Wang Dali's wife about the affairs of the village.
Wei Wu came to Xiao Yao's side, still asking Xiao Yao with regret on his face: "Boss, that's tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets!" You can pile up a small mountain of silver, don't you really feel distressed? Now thinking of Xiao Yao's chic movements, Wei Wu had an urge to scold his mother, but he didn't dare to scold when the words came to his mouth.
Xiao Yao looked at Wei Wu's appearance, smiled proudly, and said, "Do you really think that Lao Tzu's brain is in water, and there is still a lot of money?" Hehe" said and put his hand into his arms, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, he took out the silver tickets from inside. Then, under the stunned eyes of several people, the silver ticket was slowly unfolded little by little.
It turned out to be intact! How is this possible! Everyone in the courtyard looked at this qiē in disbelief, and couldn't believe their eyes.
Wei Wu rubbed his eyes vigorously and pinched his thighs again before confirming that this qiē was all true. snatched the silver ticket in Xiao Yao's hand and looked at it repeatedly, that's right! Sure it's the ones he gave him. Raising his head and asking Xiao Yao excitedly, "Boss, how did you do it?" It's amazing! ”
This was a trick that Xiao Yao inadvertently learned in a magic show, but he didn't expect it to come in handy today and deceive everyone's eyes.
Xiao Yao smiled mysteriously and only said: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed!" ~" attracted countless eyes around him.
After the joke, Xiao Yao returned to the truth, and wrote down his preliminary idea of the wine shop on paper by Ling'er and handed it to Wang Dali. After explaining clearly, Wang Dali took Xiao Yao to the wine well in the center of the village, and brought a bucket of well water, which was really clear and clear without a trace of impurities. Xiao Yao drank a few sips, it was really sweet and refreshing, comparable to the soda he drank in his previous life.
In the afternoon, Xiao Yao toured around the village for a few miles, and after comprehensive consideration, he finally chose to build the winery in the upper reaches of the river in the west of the village. The scenery is pleasant, surrounded by mountains and rivers, lush trees, and apricot blossoms in the forest, which is the best choice.
It was sunset when they returned to the village, and Xiao Yao and his party, who wanted to rush to the town before dark, had to stay under the kindness of the village chief and several people, and set off to Lingxiu Peak early the next morning.
At night, the village chief specially made an exception for Xiao Yao and others to hold an annual wine party to see them off. As the name suggests, each company will bring out its home-brewed wine for the judges to evaluate, and the top three will be awarded the titles of Wine King, Wine Saint and Wine Fairy respectively. The conference attracted many villagers to participate, and each brought out their home-brewed wine for Xiao Yao and others to taste, so that several people feasted on their mouths.
Meng Ling'er accompanied Xiao Yao tonight to drink a few small bowls of the village's special brewed rice wine, which is the best in the wine, and listened to the village chief introduce to a few people, this wine is made of pure glutinous rice, and the koji is not mixed with any flesh and blood, so the wine tastes the most mellow. Wet and clean, into the porcelain urn solid storage, after years of yellow, the taste is particularly beautiful, is also named for this.
The starry sky, the bright moon, the apricot blossom village is full of joy and dance, and the planning is staggered.
Xiao Yao felt the strong customs of Xinghua Village, and couldn't help but praise: "The wine flag wind, the smoke is heavy, the water is soluble, the wild boat is crossing, and the willows are thick...... What a beautiful view. ”
The son of a patriarch surnamed Zhou is the only talent in the village, named Zhou Youcai, only sixteen years old, every New Year, there are many villagers who come to ask him to help write couplets, and are praised as a prodigy by the villagers, and his father is often proud of it, complacent, and gave birth to a good son.
Zhou Youcai went to the town's academy every day to attend classes, and only returned to the village in the evening. When I returned to the village tonight, just in time for the wine party held for Xiao Yao and others, I was pulled by my father and wanted to introduce Xiao Yao to him, intending to let his son occupy the fifth place.
Zhou Youcai's father and son came to Xiao Yao's side, and overheard Xiao Yao casually reciting a few words, the patriarch's heart was happy, and he was worried about how to introduce his son to him, and God gave his son a great opportunity to create zào.
Patriarch Zhou deliberately amplified his voice to attract everyone's attention to this side, and said: "Talented, there are a few distinguished guests in our village today, who have helped our village solve the big trouble, I really have to thank them, come, Dad will introduce you, this is Xiao Gongzi" only introduced Xiao Yao, and automatically ignored the other people around Xiao Yao.
Zhou Youcai didn't want to mix this kind of occasion, so he was bored. was pulled by his father, and accidentally saw Meng Ling'er beside Xiao Yao not far away, so he couldn't take his eyes off it. Yi is quiet and leisurely, tender and graceful, and there is a faint touch of red between the pink neck, reflecting the sparkling jade slightly reddened shame, which is fascinating, and makes people's hearts beat faster unconsciously.
In order to get Meng Ling'er's attention, before coming here, he deliberately tidied up his clothes. After his father's introduction, Zhou Youcai stared at Meng Ling'er intently, and said politely: "No, Zhou Youcai, I've seen you." "A personable young man, people unconsciously have a good impression.
Li Er took a sip of wine, raised his head and quipped to him, "Then are you talented or not?" After asking, he said to Wei Wu next to him, "The reader is really profound, talented, and not talented, I really don't understand." ”
Wei Wu hooked his finger to his head and chiseled it, and replied disdainfully: "No culture, it's terrible!" How can I know such an uneducated person as you! What people mean is that there was no talent before, but then there was talent, so stupid! Right, Boss? After training, Li Er turned his head and sought affirmation from Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao put down the bowl in his hand, smacked his lips, blinked his eyes, and affirmed, "It seems to be." After finishing speaking, he breathed a long sigh of relief, "Sure enough, there is a diligent path in the book mountain, and there is no end to learning from the sea, and there is no end to learning!" This son still has to work harder. ”
Lian'er on the side was already amused by the conversation between Wei Wu and the two, and when she saw Xiao Yao's infinite sighing expression, she almost laughed and trembled on the young lady's body.
