Chapter 241: A Chance to Rise Up

"Really?" Gao Yuxing's eyes only lit up for a moment and then dimmed again, "Eldest sister, you must be teasing me, not me blowing, my family's wine is unmatched in the whole of China, what is the use of such a wine party?" ”

"Don't underestimate it." Xia Yan smiled confidently, "What I took out my hand, which one is unreliable?" ”

"But ......"

"Don't." Xia Yan interrupted Gao Yuxing, who was about to speak, "Let me ask you, what are the raw materials used by your Gao family to make wine?" ”

"Sorghum." Gao Yuxing replied honestly, "Rice is occasionally used." ”

"Do you know what other breweries use?"

"It's basically both." Gao Yuxing looked at Xia Yan with a puzzled expression, although he couldn't understand what she was asking for, but he still explained to her in detail, "Not only my family and Qin County, but also our Huaguo only use these two things to make wine." Sorghum wine is too strong to be drunk by men only, while rice wine is specially made for women and people who don't like sorghum wine. ”

"You also know that we only have rice wine and sorghum wine in China." Xia Yan smiled and nodded approvingly, "But as you said, your Gao family is a century-old brand, and novices like us don't have the strength to fight with it at all." Not to mention the Gao family, even other wineries are afraid that we can't fight. First, the best sorghum wine needs to be cellared, and we only have a year, so it's too late. Second, sorghum wine has a history of hundreds of years, and after many generations of improvement, the taste has reached the extreme, and there is basically no possibility of improvement. Third, in China, as long as they are true wine lovers, they only drink sorghum wine, and they only know sorghum wine, they just want to drink nothing else, and rice wine is not a bar for them at all. ”

Gao Yuxing nodded and agreed with Xia Yan's words.

"So......" Xia Yan pointed to the wine recipe in Gao Yuxing's hand, "If we want to make a name for ourselves, we can only rely on one word - 'new'." ”

"New?" Gao Yuxing looked down at the wine recipe and muttered softly, as if thinking about what Xia Yangang said.

"That's right." Seeing that Gao Yuxing seemed to have listened to his words in his heart, Xia Yan smiled with satisfaction, "You also know that your sorghum wine has almost reached the extreme, and in the hearts of Chinese people, the king of Gaojia wine is the best sorghum wine, there is no one." So many wineries are trying to survive in the shadow of your Gao family, drinking soup behind your house. If we get involved, we're afraid we'll just make a joke. So, we had to recreate a wine to break this situation. We want people to know that there are many types of wine in this world, and this is not the kind of wine that does not refer to this at all. ”

"There is more than one kind of wine...... More than ......" Gao Yuxing muttered softly, suddenly raised his head, and looked at Xia Yan with a radiant look, "Eldest sister, you are right, as long as you brew a kind of wine that no one has ever drunk, even if it is for freshness, there will be an endless stream of people who come to taste the wine." As long as the taste can be guaranteed, there is hope for our goal of becoming popular in China. ”

Gao Yuxing really didn't care about any worries and fears at this time, his heart for winemaking had been successfully stimulated by Xia Yan, and he couldn't wait to get into the wine cellar and never come out again.

For a long time, almost everyone has assumed that wine is made from sorghum, and only sorghum can be used to make spicy and refreshing wine. The rice wine made from rice was as plain as water, and the wine had no strength, and no one except the woman was willing to drink a few sips.

Occasionally, a few breweries will try to make sake from something else, but all of them will end in failure.

Not only did it not make any wine that could be eaten, but it even went bankrupt and ended up empty, which was seen as a joke. So much so that later, no one was willing to try it anymore.

Even Gao Yuxing himself thinks so, he has secretly studied winemaking for so many years, and the method of using sorghum to make wine has long been deeply engraved in his mind, if someone else comes to tell him that he can use something else to make wine, he is afraid that he will beat that person out of the door.

That is, Xia Yan was able to speak wildly in front of him, and even he felt that what she said was right. Looking at her confident appearance, he actually felt that they had a chance of success.

There is basically no hope of surpassing his father with sorghum wine, but if he changes to other wines, there is hope to give it a go, and it is not impossible to surpass the Gao family.

Gao Yuxing suddenly felt that he saw the hope of Xiongqi, and he saw his father's regretful appearance in front of him.

Suddenly, he only felt that he was in a good mood, and his eyes immediately lit up, and he was full of energy, and asked, "Eldest sister, what are we going to use to make wine?" ”

"I don't understand either." Xia Yan shook his shoulder, "You decide." ”

As she spoke, she pointed to the wine recipe again and said, "You can pick one out of this according to your ideas." ”

"As I said, the power of this matter is up to you, and I'm only responsible for helping." Xia Yan smiled and slapped Gao Yuxing twice on the shoulder, "Young man, don't be careless, don't worry about it and do it boldly." ”

is obviously just a bright smile full of encouragement, but falling into Gao Yuxing's eyes can't help but give him goosebumps.

Why did the smile on the eldest sister's head give him a bad premonition? This feeling is like going back to the time when he was tortured by her five years ago, which made him shudder and fight a few cold wars in a row.

"Lao Gao, no problem, right?" Xia Yan looked at Gao Yuxing expectantly.

"I didn't ...... No. Gao Yuxing was still in a state of fear, and he didn't come to his senses, but responded numbly.

"That's fine, I know I'm right." Xia Yan smiled with satisfaction, "Winemaking is not in a hurry at this time, just start tomorrow, now we have to go and pick a shop first." ”

"Shop?" Gao Yuxing was stunned, "What shop?" ”

"Let's open a brewery first." Xia Yan grinned, "How can we do without a winery, when you brew wine in the future, where should we sell it, is it possible to put it in your Gao family's winery?" ”

"But we haven't started making wine yet?" Gao Yuxing was a little confused, "What kind of wine shop do you open if you don't have wine to sell?" What do we want to sell? ”

"Gee, that's not important." Xia Yan pulled up Gao Yuxing's sleeve and walked out, "Let's open the wine shop first, so that the villagers can know that your shopkeeper Gao has finally started to fight with the Gao family, I think they have been looking forward to this day, this year's wine fight must be very lively." ”

"Big sister, big sister, don't worry, don't worry, let's discuss it again." Gao Yuxing almost squatted on the ground, and didn't leave, "When I brew the wine, will you open that wine?" ”

"What do you say?" Xia Yan smiled at the corner of his mouth, squinted his eyes, and said four big words sonorously: "Dang!" Correct! No! Yes! ”

"But......" Gao Yuxing's mind spun quickly, just thinking of finding a satisfactory excuse.

Just kidding, before these eight characters are over, he opened the winery first, isn't it obvious that this is to tell the world about his winemaking?

If he makes the wine, it's fine, but if he can't, it's not him who is ashamed.

No, until he succeeded in making wine, he resolutely disagreed with the opening of a sake brewery.

But...... Xia Yan's stubborn temper that couldn't be pulled back by the horses, he really couldn't convince her without a suitable reason, so he had to quickly think of a way.

In this way, Gao Yuxing squatted on the ground and couldn't get up, his head was lowered, and his eyes kept rolling.

When Xia Yan couldn't stand it and wanted to drag him up, he saw him raise his head and shouted: "Eldest sister, you have a problem with this wine party, we have to think about it in the long run!" ”

"What's the problem?" Although Xia Yan didn't believe his words very much, she still stopped and asked just in case.

"Eldest sister, I can still accept it if I use something else to make wine, but the few wine recipes you wrote above all need to be made from fruits." Gao Yuxing took a breath, revealing a look of extreme disgust, "Do you know, the wine made in this way is sweet, how can you drink sweet wine?" ”

"What's wrong with the sweet? Can't you drink sweet wine? Xia Yan tilted his head sideways, as if he didn't understand, "There is still sugar in rice wine, why can't fruits be used to make wine?" ”

"It's not the same thing at all." Gao Yuxing stood up and looked at Xia Yan righteously, "The rice wine with sugar is for women and children, where do the old men like to drink this kind of wine?" Naturally, the spicier the better, the more fragrant the better. ”

"I don't know that much, but there's more to the words I gave you than just sweet wine." Xia Yan squeezed his eyes, took the recipe from Gao Yuxing's hand, and nodded twice in a few places, "Look, these are wines that have no sweetness at all, not only are they not sweet, but they are even stronger than your sorghum wine." ”

"Really?" Gao Yuxing's face was full of doubts, "Eldest sister, don't fool me, I have eaten several kinds of fruits written on it, and they are sweet one by one, especially the ones sold in the sweetness of our fruits, which are sweeter than honey." You say how can you make unsweetened wine from this fruit? Could it be that we should use other fruits? I didn't say it...... There is nothing in the whole Qin County that can compare with us, so why don't we ...... if we put it well?"

"Alright, it's not what you think." Xia Yan frowned and stopped Gao Yuxing's nagging, "Just use our fruit, not other people." ”

"But ......"

"But what is it?" Xia Yan couldn't help but be angry, and really wanted to punch Gao Yuxing, "A big man, what does your mother-in-law do, whether it's sweet or not, don't you know if you brew some of it?" ”

Seeing that Xia Yan was about to get angry, Gao Yuxing didn't have the courage to raise the bar with her, so he could only sigh and respond: "I...... I'll try it. ”

"That's pretty much it." Xia Yan smiled, although it took a lot of words, but finally persuaded Gao Yuxing.
