Chapter 67: The First Night
(Ask for a ticket!) Ask for a ticket! )
“… Authentic North Highland whisky is made from 1,000 feet of pure water from underground springs and rainwater from the sky, as well as malt raw materials from the local area and nourished by fertile soil.
It is fermented for a long time to give the wine a full-bodied and deep body, and through slow and small batch distillation, it creates a supple feeling.
Finally, it is aged in 50% sherry oak and 50% bourbon oak barrels to create a round, richly layered and balanced taste.
Complex yet clear, the aroma of this wine is too complex, as I said before, a little too deliberate! ”
Ron's words can be regarded as clarifying the difference between real wine and fake wine.
But he followed up with a sentence:
"But it's not easy for fake wine to do this level, and I want to meet this winemaker."
"Soon you will be able to see him, just tonight, from now on, he will be our partner, and we hope we will all work together." Li Yaoyang restrained his smile and said with a straight face.
"Really? Have you found this person? That's great, and with the help of this person, we can look forward to the development of the winemaking business. Ron looked more excited than Lai.
"Of course it's true, but before that, there are a few things that I need your help with~"
"You just open your mouth~"
After raising this rich third generation for so long, Li Yaoyang is finally ready to use this chess piece.
"I need a qualification to import medical supplies; a sufficiently secluded and large enough winery; There are also raw materials related to sake brewing. ”
Li Yaoyang was not polite, and made three requests in one go.
Ron scratched his head, looked embarrassed, struggled for a long time, gritted his teeth and said:
"The latter two are no problem, but for import qualifications, I'm afraid you need to use your family's political resources."
"Oh?"
"Lee, don't get me wrong, I don't mean to shirk, this thing is not simple, I need to go home~"
"Thank you, I can provide assistance if you need anything~"
Ron put down his glass and sighed:
"As you said, we are a team, so we naturally have to contribute, and I hope that my family will not set too many obstacles for me~"
It can be seen that he really wants to achieve a career on his own, and he will not hesitate to bow his head to his family for this.
"There is no rush for import qualifications for the time being, after all, the wine has not yet been brewed."
"I see what you mean, go out and come back in the evening to meet the winemaker."
"Fat Dun'er, you work with Ron to keep him safe~"
It is said to be protection, but in fact it is surveillance, and he can't run away until he completes his mission.
Of course, the possibility of running away is relatively low, after all, he has not yet achieved a career.
————————————
The streets of Chinatown are full of joy, and unlike in China, even on the first day of the Lunar New Year, hard-working Chinese people are still working.
Small traders doing business, restaurants selling snacks, barber shops, medical clinics, and all open their doors to welcome the delivery.
The faces of the Chinese were full of smiles, and many of them changed into red Tang costumes, revealing the festive atmosphere.
But as soon as you leave Chinatown, you immediately feel the coldness of this world-class metropolis, one cold and one hot, obviously on the same island, but forming two completely different worlds.
From Chinatown to the Hudson Theatre, Lai Yaoyang felt the two heavens of ice and fire.
But as soon as you enter the theater gate, it is a hot scene.
The actors are rehearsing intensively, and with the premiere approaching, it's impossible not to be nervous.
This performance is not only a matter of life and death for the theater, but also directly linked to their income, who doesn't want to make more money?
Now that you've become an actor, who wouldn't want to be part of a classic play?
After watching the audience for a while, Li Yaoyang stopped the rehearsal and explained the key points to the actors.
Mainly aimed at 'Eric', he is played by Pete Hughes, who used to be the principal of Hudson Theatre, and is now classified as a dog leg under Lai Yiuyang.
Since he accepted Li Yao's sunny and righteous 'discord plan', he is destined to separate himself from the style of ordinary actors.
He is no longer the core that actors can rely on, on the contrary, he has become a wage earner of capital.
After listening to the explanation, he said:
"I'll try again~"
"Let's take a break, everyone take a break, and continue in 15 minutes~"
Li Yaoyang snorted at him, and the two found a remote corner to chat.
"The actors are still emotionally stable, right?"
"At the beginning, there was someone who wanted to make trouble, but I pressed him down, don't worry, with me, they can't afford to turn over the storm~"
"Hehe~ Good job, I'll give you a salary increase when the performance is successful~"
"Thank you~Thank you~"
A good art practitioner will eventually bend his waist to Dao Le.
"I heard you've been getting close to Abby lately?" Li Yaoyang asked, his tone inexplicable, sounding profound.
"Huh? This..."
"Okay, don't hide it, she's very beautiful, it's normal for you to want to tax her, they're all men, I can understand~"
Before Pete could show a smile that all men understand, Li Yaoyang suddenly pulled his face and said:
"But you can't affect the performance, I don't care what your relationship is, as long as it affects the performance, I will never let you go, believe me, there is no second chance."
"Ah~ this... You can rest assured, absolutely not, in fact, we are just ordinary colleagues. ”
"Ordinary colleagues? So how do I know? ”
Li Yaoyang looked at him coldly, this guy has a problem, not only greedy for money, but also his mother is lustful, and he doesn't look in the mirror to see if he has the ability.
If it weren't for the fact that he was similar to a ghost after putting on makeup, Li Yaoyang would not be willing to use him to play Eric.
Pete was in a cold sweat, and he only cared about sneering, and even forgot to explain.
"It's okay to do it yourself, don't let me hear gossip if you have the ability, and if you don't have the ability, you can pick up your tail and be a man, understand?"
"Understood~understood~"
Watching Pete flee in the wilderness, Li Yaoyang sighed helplessly, there are countless bullshit things in the backstage of Broadway, and he can't control it.
But the bottom line can't be broken, no matter how you play, you can't affect his play, otherwise you will be the enemy.
Treat the enemy, Li Yaoyang will never show mercy!
After the break, the rehearsal continued, watching Abby Durent sing on stage, Li Yaoyang's face was expressionless.
The rehearsal is very boring, and the same plot, Li Yaoyang, the producer and director, has to watch hundreds of changes.
Expecting him to have mood swings is not ordinarily difficult.
The rehearsal lasted until nightfall, when Li Yaoyang announced that he would leave work and hurried back to the Dongxing Tavern.
Coincidentally, as soon as I arrived at the gate, I saw Albert wandering outside.
This guy who is obsessed with winemaking seems to have some social fear, and I really don't know how he sells alcohol on weekdays.
I went over and patted him on the shoulder, startling him.
"Who? Oh~It's you, Lee, it scares me to death~" Albert patted his chest and complained.
"Why don't you go in?"
"The door is closed, I thought it wasn't closed~"
"Knocking on the door is, at this time, how can a tavern dare to open its doors openly?"
"That's what I said~"
Li Yaoyang took him into the house, and the tavern was crowded.
Dongxing Tavern has been open for a few days, and people who like to drink and suffer from nowhere to consume come to it when they smell alcohol, and they don't need to deliberately advertise it at all.
However, due to the low quality of the wine, the people who come to consume at this stage are the lowest people who can't afford to pay much money.
As for those beautiful modern girls, they can only get over their eyes, let alone consume, and they have to wonder if their purses are thick enough to invite people for a drink.
The room full of swear words provokes the eardrums, and the smell of smoke and alcohol is mixed, and people who are not used to it will subconsciously cover their noses.
But whether to say it or not, there are so many people, as far as the eye can see, dozens of people are crowded into the room, and the originally spacious space has now become crowded.
Xiao Er, they also went into battle to help, the wine delivery was delivered, the food was ordered, and the busy feet did not touch the ground.
Albert wore glasses, pushed it gently, and said in surprise:
"There are a lot of people~"
"Hehe~ Damn the prohibition of alcohol, imprisoning the fundamental desires of human nature, those who can resist not drinking for a week are talents, obviously, these are not the ones in front of you~"
Albert chuckled:
"Indeed, a group of ordinary people who are bewitched by alcohol~"
This is the 'view' of ordinary people from geniuses, and does not mean contempt, because they are born to stand tall and naturally have a habit of bowing their heads and looking down on all beings.
So why can he intersect with Li Yaoyang on an equal footing?
may be in his eyes, Li Yaoyang and him are the same kind of people.
"Let's go, let's go to the back, it's too noisy in front~"
The two of them squeezed through the crowd before and after, the place was already small, people were crowded, people were next to people, and their actions like this would inevitably affect others.
The sound of scolding and scolding was endless, Li Yaoyang turned a deaf ear, and Quan Dang didn't hear it.
I finally passed through the back door, and the spacious backyard instantly became quiet.
"Whew~ Just now, my ancestors were scolded for eighteen generations~" Albert smiled bitterly.
"It's good to get used to it, I spend every day being scolded~" Li Yaoyang relieved and took him into the warehouse.
The brewing equipment was in full view, and Ron was tinkering with something.
Hear the movement and flash out from behind the large retort:
"Lee, good evening~"
"Good evening Ron, this is the genius winemaker Albert Louis I am talking about~"
"Albert, this is Ron, an amateur bartender, and my assistant for you~"
Introducing the two to each other, Albert was a little twisted, or a symptom of social fear.
In comparison, Ron is definitely a social cow patient, and he took the initiative to reach out and greet the other party.
After they got to know each other, Li Yaoyang said:
"It's a makeshift brewery, and it's barely enough in the beginning, but it's not enough when the production comes up, but don't worry, I'm looking for a bigger brewery."
Albert rubbed his hands excitedly: "No~ It's already very good here, it's much stronger than mine, look at it, it's all good stuff~"
He patted the smooth and shiny distillation barrel, unable to hide his joy.
It was his dream to have such a space for winemaking.
Although the sparrow is small, it is like a single online writer who has been on the street for 30 years, yearning for a simple home with a wife.
