Chapter 170: The Means of Filling Old Bottles with New Wine
Among the men and women present, Du Ruo's status was the lowest, she was embarrassed to sit down, so she stood up and said: "I am entrusted by Principal Wang to sing two Henan operas to Mayor Han today to cheer Mayor Han Zhen, and wish Han Zhen a long life and health and happiness than Nanshan." ”
After Du Ruo finished speaking, he was about to start singing, Han Pengcheng waved his hand and said, "Teacher Du, don't worry, since you are here, sit down and eat something." ”
Du Ruowan excused herself, "I still have classes in the afternoon, I'm afraid it's too late, I'm afraid I won't be able to give face to Mayor Han." ”
Principal Wang said: "Teacher Du, it's okay if you don't attend music class, Mayor Han didn't treat you as an outsider, just sit down, there are many people and it is lively, let's eat for a while, you sing again." ”
Du Ruo responded with a smile and did it at the very end.
Han Pengcheng really didn't treat her as an outsider, since then Han Pengcheng saw Du Ruo, he was attracted by this generous, generous and temperamental woman, and later whenever he thought of Du Ruo, he reminded him of his wife who had been dead for many years.
If Du Ruo can come today, whether it is Principal Wang invited him to help him sing and cheer up, or for whatever reason, Han Pengcheng's mood is very happy.
Han Pengcheng took out two bottles of Moutai from the cabinet, and there was a thin layer of dust on the bottles, which seemed to have been treasured for many years.
Everyone felt that Han Pengcheng was really generous enough to take out such a precious liquor to entertain them.
Han Pengcheng wiped off the dust on the wine bottle, stood up and filled it for everyone, picked up the wine glass and said: "Everyone, thank you for coming to celebrate my birthday today, I haven't been so lively in this room for a long time, thank you, I toast everyone." ”
In front of him, Han Pengcheng got up, and everyone quickly stood up and raised their wine glasses.
Du Ruo spoke at this time, she pointed to the birthday cake in the middle of the table, and said softly: "Mayor Han, since there is a birthday cake today, you might as well make a suggestion, according to the etiquette of eating birthday cakes, we can eat this birthday cake before we can drink and eat." ”
Dong Zaikang also said: "Nizi, who just gave the birthday cake, said the same thing, and cut the birthday cake before the meal and eat it." ”
None of the people present had ever eaten a birthday cake, and when they heard Du Ruo and Dong Zaikang's proposal, everyone put down their wine glasses.
Han Pengcheng said with a smile: "Since you have put forward your opinion, then this matter will be handed over to you." ”
Zhu Lingling pointed to the cake and said, "It looks like this birthday cake is soft, how to cut it?" ”
Yuan Yuan got up and said, "How can you cut things without a knife, I'll go to the stove room and get a kitchen knife to cut it." ”
Du Ruo smiled and said, "This birthday cake can't be cut with a kitchen knife. ”
Yuan Yuan was about to get up and go to the stove room, but as soon as Du Ruo said this, she stopped and asked, "Then what do you use?" Why don't you use a kitchen knife to cut things? ”
Du Ruo asked Han Pengcheng, "Mayor Han, do you have knives of other materials at home?" ”
Han Pengcheng thought for a while and said: "I have a wooden short knife at home, and I also used the toy knife that Han Zheng made for him when he was a child, I don't know if I can use it?" ”
"Mayor Han, please bring it to me to see if it can be used."
Yuan Yuan was displeased, and glared at Du Ruo, it is really unheard of for you to be able to use a wooden knife to cut things, are you in the limelight or a joke.
In a moment, Han Zheng took out a short wooden knife from the cabinet, which was more than 20 centimeters long, and the blade was not thick or thin.
Du Ruo took the wooden short knife and said, "This is just right, I'll take it to the stove to wash it and cut it first." ”
Du Ruo washed the wooden short knife cleanly, and did not start cutting the birthday cake, but continued to say softly: "I have seen from the movie that you have to blow out candles before eating birthday cakes, I wonder if Mayor Han has any candles at home?" ”
Under the gaze of everyone, Han Pengcheng went to find a few candles.
Du Ruo picked out five red candles, then lit them with matches, placed them in front of Han Zheng's seat, and asked people to close the doors and windows.
Yuan Yuan muttered in her heart, this woman is really chattering, she is so knowledgeable when she eats like this, and no matter how knowledgeable she is, it is also a play.
Du Ruo still smiled and said: "Mayor Han, these five candles represent your 50th birthday, each one represents ten years old, before you blow out the candles, sit down, put your hands together and make a wish, and then blow out your candles, your wish can come true." ”
Du Ruo's set of sets made the men sitting dumbfounded, what kind of road is this, but I have never heard of it, this Du Ruo seems to know a lot.
I don't know if it's because Han Pengcheng really has a wish in his heart, or because of Du Ruo, he did what Du Ruo said.
Everyone read two words from the movement of his lips, Han Zheng.
The father always cares about this son.
After making a wish, Han Pengcheng blew out the candle in one go.
Du Ruo handed the wooden short knife to Han Pengcheng and said, "Now you can cut the cake, you cut it in the middle, and then it will be cut into equal parts." ”
Han Pengcheng cut it, Du Ruo brought some plates, put one in each plate, and placed them in front of everyone as skillfully as a hostess.
The taste of the cake was so delicious, everyone showed a very satisfied smile, especially Han Pengcheng, this taste he liked the most.
Originally, these procedures for eating cakes were what Song Qingtian wanted to introduce, but she couldn't stay longer, so she didn't say so much, but she didn't expect Du Ruo to complete the procedures for eating cakes for her.
If Song Qingtian knew at this moment, he would definitely have a feeling of making wedding dresses for others, because until now, no one has mentioned anyone who makes birthday cakes.
Finally someone began to mention Song Qingtian's name.
Dong Zaikang praised the deliciousness of the cake, and said: "Song Qingtian's Nizi actually has such a craft, it's really not simple, I haven't eaten anything yet." ”
Tong Yujie echoed: "It's really delicious, people sent it well, and they left without taking a sip of tea, I couldn't help but eat it." ”
Han Pengcheng said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you are blaming me for not greeting guests well." Song Qingtian is a little girl, I don't think she knows us well, she is also young, I think she is a little cramped and uneasy, so I didn't leave her to eat. However, I liked this gift from her very much, and I personally thanked her for going when I had time. ”
Tong Yujie continued: "Song Qingtian's Nizi cake is well done, and Mr. Du's way is also ingenious, Mayor Han, your birthday today is cheaper for us people, and we can eat good things, which can be regarded as an eye-opener." ”
People who live transparently are different, Tong Yujie praised Song Qingtian and Du Ruo at once, and it also made Han Pengcheng very face-saving.
Yuan Yuan was unhappy in her heart, Du Ruo, a woman, had exhausted her limelight today, and she didn't look at her identity, she pretended to be presentable.
Zhu Lingling and Su Yaowen are also uncomfortable, Du Ruo brings out the limelight, Tong Yujie says good things, Song Qingtian has a good reputation, and they don't show anything at the moment.
Han Pengcheng only looked at everyone to show a group of harmony, and he was happy in his heart, so he raised his glass and drank with everyone.
After Hao Jianguo finished drinking, he smacked his lips and said, "Old Han, are you blinded by us, the taste of this wine is not Moutai." ”
Dong Zaikang also nodded, "It's true that it's not the taste of Moutai, but this wine tastes very sweet, and it has its own merits with the taste of Moutai, and it is on par." ”
Su Yaowen, who was bent on scolding Han Pengcheng, saw that he had an opportunity at this moment, and said even more exaggerated words, "The taste of this wine is not much worse than that of Moutai, and there is even a fight." ”
Hao Jianguo asked again: "Old Han, what kind of good wine are you, and how did you put it in the Moutai bottle?" ”
Han Pengcheng looked at the wine bottle in his hand, frowned and said: "I haven't touched these two bottles of wine for several years, they were given to me by one of my comrades-in-arms, I have never been willing to drink them, how could they change their taste?" ”
Dong Zaikang took the wine bottle in Han Pengcheng's hand, looked at it from beginning to end, and found that it was all original, he suddenly thought of something, so he picked up the bottle cap, carefully identified it, and saw a hole the size of a needle's eye on the lid, which was sealed with wax.
"The taste of this wine seems to be ......" Han Pengcheng saw the hole on the bottle cap, and then suddenly realized: "It must be Han Zheng's kid who stole my wine, and then poured the loose wine into the Moutai wine bottle, this kid is really not restless at all, I said that he was so kind to buy me a dozen catties of loose wine some time ago, it turned out that the old bottle of new wine deceived me, this unproductive thing, it really disgraced me." ”
The trick of old bottles of new wine was not played by Han Zheng, but planned by Han Pengcheng, that day, he saw that Song Qingtian's family had a lot of liquor, so he thought of the wine that Han Zheng bought for himself from Song Qingtian's house, and it tasted good, probably no one knew, so there was no market.
Song Qingtian has already begun to negotiate with him about setting up a factory, if he runs a factory in Sanchuan Town, it will have a huge driving effect on the local economy. As the mayor of Sanchuan, who also wants to contribute to the development of Sanchuan, Han Pengcheng feels that he should also do something to Song Qingtian.
The day before his birthday, he learned that the leaders of the town's institutions had come to celebrate his birthday, so he went to buy a syringe, put Song Qingtian's Laobai dry wine into Moutai's wine bottle in advance, and then sealed it with wax, and excused himself with the reason that Han Zheng stole the wine, as long as everyone thought the wine was good, so that Song Qingtian's liquor could be promoted.
In this matter, the others present didn't know that Han Pengcheng was acting. But when they heard Han Pengcheng's name in his mouth, they felt a little sad, this birthday, the only son was not around, everyone was embarrassed to ask, and they were even more embarrassed to mention Han Zheng, so they shifted their target to liquor.
Dong Zaikang is the oldest and the most knowledgeable about human affairs, so he asked curiously with wine: "What loose wine has such a good taste, but it is not worse than Moutai." ”
Han Pengcheng said: "It's the two catties of liquor that Song Qingtian brought just now, you can taste it and see if it's a taste." ”
Han Pengcheng opened the loose wine that Song Xifeng was carrying, and poured a glass for everyone, "Let's try it, isn't it the same?" ”
Everyone took a sip, and sure enough, it tasted exactly the same.
At this moment, the person who regrets it the most is Su Yaowen, he obviously hates Song Qingtian very much in his heart, but just now he said that Song Qingtian's liquor is comparable to Moutai, he really wants to slap himself twice, why is his mouth so cheap?
Han Pengcheng pushed the boat and said: "Song Qingtian may be the first factory in our town in the future, as the leader of the town, we should support her more, if everyone thinks his wine is good, you can help publicize it, if you drink it yourself, you can buy some back." ”
When Han Pengcheng said this, everyone nodded with a smile, even if some people were unhappy, they could only force a smile.
If it is said that Song Qingtian worked hard to make a cake and made a wedding dress for Du Ruo's performance, it would be worth it, because Han Pengcheng's wine bottled new wine, not to mention the beautiful trick of selling liquor, it opened up a particularly good situation for the sales of liquor.
