Volume 1 Rise Chapter 082 The Distinguished Guest Comes to the Door and Pours Bitter Water
Liu Qin was very humble and quipped: "Uncle, don't listen to Chief Liu, I'm not a distinguished guest." I have to know the governor, the governor, the affairs of a county, the big and the small, in the final analysis, I am a housekeeper, just like you, I work for the people. ”
"Governor Liu, how can this be the same?" Liu Xiangqian was about to speak.
Liu Qin smiled: "Besides, I am an alumnus of Li Rui's same school, a few years older than him, he called me senior sister, I heard that you have always taken good care of him, do you say I shouldn't call you uncle?" ”
"Ahem, old ...... Lao Mao, what kind of wine is this, it smells so fragrant, hooking out the wine worms in my stomach. "Liu Xiangqian shouted Uncle Mao Buyi just now, but Liu Qin called Uncle, how dare he take advantage of this?
"You haven't even drunk your mouth, and you're here. Li Rui, have you caught any fish, can't I go to the river to net a few? ”
I paid too much attention to the guests just now, and I didn't pay attention to Li Rui.
However, the bucket was carried in the hands of the driver Zhang Zhe, Zhang Zhe stood at the end, and no one noticed the big fish fluttering in the bucket.
"Old village chief, who do you look down on, Brother Zhang, Shangyu will open his eyes......" Li Rui made a small joke, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing.
Zhang Zhe carried the bucket to the yard, poured the fish to the ground, fluttered and fluttered, and several fierce big fish jumped around, out of the water for a long time, still tenacious, struggling.
The old village chief's eyes lit up and said, "Ah, this is a golden catfish, this is a black fish, this is a red carp, and the old turtle ...... Li Rui, you are really capable, you can catch so many big fish after going out for a while! ”
Among these fish, only the golden catfish is the rarest, and the other fish are all common goods in Turtle Village, and anyone can catch a few of them. The common catfish with a black back and a white belly and a golden yellow body is called the golden catfish by the locals, and its nutritional value is several times higher than that of ordinary catfish.
Invite the guests to the living room of the hall to talk, Li Rui went to the back room to check the samples of loose wine sent by the ninth master, three bottles of small sorghum wine, three bottles of Wuliang wine, three bottles of corn wine, and one bottle of five-year-old wine and one bottle of ten-year-old wine.
The bottles are all clay pottery products, with black glaze inside and out, and the bottle body has the words "Maojia Wine Shop". The price tag was glued with scotch tape, and at a glance, the price was so low that it could only be described as cheap. Except for the corn wine, which is too rough in taste, the other wines are good, Li Rui has drunk every wine, and knows the true value of this wine.
The reason why Jiu Ye sent samples was mainly to find a reasonable pretense to turn ordinary fine wine into medicinal wine without letting others know.
Originally, he didn't send corn-like wine, but it seems that Jiu Ye couldn't help it and wanted to show all his brewing results. The bottle is marked with the retail price, and if it is wholesaled in large quantities, the price will be cheaper. However, Li Rui didn't plan to lower the price anymore, and he also wanted to contribute to the brewing business of the Jiu Ye family.
However, after buying the wine, the money on Li Rui's bank card was all gone, and he was already destitute, and he was completely penniless.
"If you want to get rich in Turtle Village, you have to find a suitable road, alchemy or pharmaceutical, although you can make a fortune, but the money is in my pocket, the villagers are still living a poor life, only this wine-making is a major feature of Turtle Village, Turtle Village, if you can create a 'Turtle Wine' and 'Turtle Fairy Wine' such a brand, relying on the herbs I concocted, as long as you drink it once, the effect is immediate, and it is not many times better than the mission Coconut Island Deer Turtle Wine sold outside, and the people who buy it will naturally not be less, so you will not worry about not being able to spend the road."
At this moment, I suddenly heard a loud voice from the yard: "Ouch, what kind of delicious food does Aunt Sixth make, the fragrance is floating in my house, my saliva is flowing, I can't help but come and take a look." My mother-in-law's craftsmanship can be one percent of the six aunts, and I will be happy to crook my mouth. This dish is really sumptuous, come to the guests? ”
The sixth aunt's tone was also very loud, and she was busy in the kitchen and talked: "It's Liangping, go to the hall and sit." Hehe, look at you, if you want to eat with your mouth open, what else do you want, I'm afraid I won't get chopsticks for you? I'm not so picky, am I? ”
"How can it, I have been sending my father to the town to see a doctor these days, and I just came back and smelled delicious."
This Liangping is none other than Hou Liangping, the son of Hou Delin, the deputy village head.
Hou Liangping is a short man, fat and dunden, and he has a big general's belly. The appearance is also very strange, with a pointed head, but the face is round, and there is a small flat head, so that the head is more pointed and the face is more round.
The appearance is not good, but the ability is not small, when he is young, he can fight and make trouble, but he takes care of the people in the village. If there is a contradiction and friction between neighboring villages, he will be the first to charge, copy the guys, lead the men in the same village, make some fame, and gain a foothold in the village, so his reputation in the village is much stronger than that of his father.
Hou Liangping has gotten a little closer to Mao Buyi these days, and intends to ease the contradictions between the two families. However, his drunkard's intention was not to drink, but because he fell in love with the position of the village accountant.
Now the accountant of Guicun is Mao Qingchun, another cousin of Mao Buyi, the fourth in line, known as the fourth master. Mao Qingchun studied in a private school for several years when he was a child, and the enlightenment education was the doctrine of Confucius and Mencius, who was honest, rigid and conservative.
Hou Liangping usually doesn't come to Mao to walk around much, let alone carry gifts to the door, but it is because of the arrival of Liu Qin that he came to stammer.
Li Rui glanced at the gift in his hand, it turned out to be two cans of tea, or the kind of high-end tea sold outside, it seemed that he had made a lot of money.
"Come on, and bring gifts." Saying that, Mao Buyi took the gift and gave him face.
In the countryside, guests bring gifts, and if you don't take them, you will look down on people.
"How many people are there? Is Vice Governor Hong not there? Hou Liangping asked in a whisper.
"Four people, plus the governor's assistant and the driver. The guy surnamed Hong is gone. ”
"Gone? It's okay to go! That guy doesn't drink well, I'm afraid he's drunk too much and spills in the village! Oh...... Why did the governor come to your house? If I hadn't seen it when you came back from fishing, I wouldn't have believed it. Hou Liangping muttered a few words in a low voice.
"That's the way it is, if you don't believe it, I can't help it, you talk, I'll help Aunt Six cook a few side dishes."
Li Rui is not interested in the people of the Hou family, and it is difficult to talk to Hou Liangping, so it is better to cook in a pot.
After a while, a few mountain vegetables were already out of the pot. Spicy catfish pot, sauerkraut black fish, whole pepper wild boar, stewed soft-shelled turtle soup, the red carp because of the many spines, and afraid of the same method as other fish, after processing with a squirrel knife, pat dry powder and fry it, pour on the reconciled tomato sauce, and make it into a squirrel fish. These are several main dishes, the side dishes are mainly farm vegetables, plus two wild vegetables, with ten dishes and two soups, the color and flavor are complete, and the table of eight immortals is filled.
"Wow, Auntie, your craftsmanship is amazing, it's a pity not to open a big hotel! This pangasius pot is delicious...... You eat too, don't just watch me eat, let's do it together, it's delicious. In the face of food, Liu Qin has no governor's frame at all, no different from ordinary women, but she doesn't forget to greet everyone to eat. After all, her status is on hold, she doesn't take the initiative to speak, and some people really can't let go.
"Come on, come on, don't just eat vegetables, try the wine of our turtle village!"
Saying that, Mao Buyi had already poured it for everyone.
Five catties of wine, the driver Zhang Zhe did not drink it, Liu Qin and assistant Chu Ying each had a glass, and the rest was divided by Liu Xiangqian, Mao Buyi and Li Rui and others.
If it's bad drinking, most men will excuse it, saying that they don't drink well. But when you encounter really good wine, men who love wine will rush to drink it.
"Governor Liu, it's not me bragging, the wine in our Turtle Village is much better than what Moutai or something outside!" With the strength of the wine, Mao Buyi also began to boast about the wine in Turtle Village.
"The flavor of Moutai's sauce is very unique, let's say it fairly and justly, it is indeed the people who love it that are crazy, but if you can't stand the flavor of the sauce, it is also difficult to swallow." Mao Buyi said, "Compared with Moutai, the fragrant old wine brewed by our own Guicun is so mellow that it makes people heartbreaking." ”
Like Mao Buyi, who is old and has lived and worked in the mountain village all his life, he is loyal and honest, and he has never talked much, let alone speaking in front of the leader, but after drinking, he has also become a chatterbox, pouring bitter water on Liuqin, saying that the road from the village to the town is too narrow, too difficult to walk, and the cart can't get in, and some people want to go outside to sell fish from the river.
"I've heard about it, too, but isn't the road already repaired?" Liu Qin asked.
"The road has been repaired, but there are a lot of troubles." Mao Buyi sighed and said, "Don't hide it, we built this road with debt, and so far, the money has not been repaid." ”
Mao Buyi seems to have recognized the reality, it is hopeless to rely on the appropriation from above, and he doesn't want to mention it, so he can only pour bitter water and win a little sympathy.
"There's no support from the town?" Liu Qin asked.
"Hey, the village has a thin foundation, don't blame anyone."
"Then you haven't thought of any way to get rich?"
When Li Rui heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he thought: Don't you just want to lead everyone to get rich, I happened to meet Liu Qin, why not take this opportunity to ask her for help, so that my entrepreneurial road will be much smoother and less troublesome.
"Yes, yes, but it's a bit troublesome." Li Rui deliberately did it.
"Why, I did my research before I came here. Our village environment is good, it should be a rich land of fish and rice, but the mountain is too complicated, the mountain road is too difficult to repair, and the transportation is inconvenient, so it leads to poverty and backwardness. ”
"What Senior Sister said is very true, but now that the road has been opened, we are still very poor, what should we do?"
"Li Rui, you are a top student of Jiangmen University, you should lead the whole village to get rich, this matter is not clear in a word, I have a meeting in the afternoon, otherwise, I will come back after a while, let's study it carefully."
After lunch, Liu Qin and his party said goodbye and left. Their car was parked on the south side of the village, and there was a spacious threshing floor where they could park and turn around.
Li Rui put them in the car, still waving his hand. The rest of the village heard the news that the new governor was coming, and they all came out to see. When Liuqin's car left, more than 60 people had come out of the village.
