Chapter 147: Dilemma
(Ask for a ticket!) Ask for a ticket! )
It took two days of hard work for Old Man Yao to study and understand the golden needle obstacle extraction technique.
Of course, it is only to understand, and I dare not say that I hold the handle in my hand, or even the needle to the extent that the disease is removed.
But time waits for no one, he must contact Long Ye as soon as possible and tell the other party what he has mastered.
This year's year has not been peaceful at all, at least for Guangjitang, the life of the leading brother is in the hands of others.
The remaining old brothers are busy saving people, and they have to deal with the problems of the apprentices from time to time, and they are busy and exhausted.
And Li Yaoyang and the others were not idle, they sat on Kenny Street all day long, for fear that the Tongfu Chamber of Commerce would give them a salary.
Not only them, but all forces in Chinatown are waiting for them.
What happened on the night of the 29th day of the Lunar New Year is still vivid, and they hate and fear the Tongfu Chamber of Commerce.
If everyone can hold together, they will naturally have nothing to fear, but the Chinese people's tradition of liking infighting will not disappear at any time.
It may be that there are too many people, and the proportion of traitors is infinitely magnified.
In fact, traitors are everywhere, not only Chinese, but also blacks, but they don't pay attention to them.
Of course, it has nothing to do with the Chinese how the blacks fight, everyone knows very well that this group can't hold it at all.
Obviously, they already have the same hatred for the enemy, but in the face of interests, they don't even have the person to take the lead, so they can only settle their own destiny.
Lamentable! Alas!
As a direct result, this Spring Festival has become extremely deserted, and the people are of course as lively as ever, but without the activities of various chambers of commerce, they always feel a little less fun.
Prohibition has entered its second year, and restrictions on all fronts have finally reached a peak.
After experiencing the peak of sales in the New Year, it immediately fell to the bottom.
The winery had a large backlog of goods that could not be exported, and even Ricardo, a major purchaser, had to reduce the purchase amount.
Thankfully, the sales of 'Wild Boar' did not fluctuate much, which is a blessing in disguise.
For this reason, Li Yaoyang had no choice but to ask Albert to adjust the production structure and take 'wild boar' as the main production.
However, the factory still has a backlog of nearly 20,000 bottles of high-end whisky, and there is no need to worry about expiration, but the goods cannot be realized, which is not good news for a distillery.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, Li Yaoyang came to the winery, and as soon as he entered the ground, he saw Albert's sad face, and he didn't know that his wife ran away with someone.
Stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder:
"Don't worry, I said, you are responsible for production, I am responsible for sales, there will be a way."
Albert shook his head:
"What else can be done? New York is under strict control, and shipments are down by two-thirds compared to before, and if this continues, our warehouses will be running out. ”
"I know that too, but give me some time to figure it out."
"The best thing to do is to ship to Atlantic City, where alcohol consumption hasn't decreased in the slightest."
Li Yaoyang is also envious, Atlantic City is different from New York, it can be said that it is an extralegal place, even if Roy Haynes goes, it is not easy to use.
By the way, Roy Haynes was the number one contributor to the enforcement of New York's Prohibition, and his crackdown on New York's underground taverns plummeted by 50%.
At the same time, it has also made drinking really a luxury, and those who want to drink have nowhere to buy wine, and those who sell alcohol have to go through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties before they can barely sell a few bottles.
If this continues, the situation will only get worse!
Shipping to Atlantic City is easier said than done.
Originally, relying on the hard work of the mules, they could barely maintain the delivery channel.
But since Li Yaoyang repeatedly rejected the 'olive branch' thrown by the Irish, the situation of the mules has become extremely difficult.
Maybe the Irish don't have time to deal with Li Yaoyang, but it is still possible to block the way of the mules.
They are also broken jars, I can't beat Chicagoans, but you Chinese don't want to take advantage, you want to die together, no one should live!
The person who can come up with the damage trick of killing 1,000 enemies and self-inflicting 800 damages, except for Colin Donner, really can't think of a second one.
As for Frank Ceylon? Li Yaoyang always felt that he was a puppet.
Sighing slightly, he said:
"There's going to be a way, trust me."
Albert scratched his head vigorously:
"I'm sorry, I don't want to force you, but the workers have to eat and spend, and we can't throw money into it indefinitely."
"You're right, I said, I'll figure it out!"
Li Yaoyang felt that he had come to the wrong place today, and if he continued like this, he didn't know if he could come up with a way, and he would definitely be nagged to death by Albert.
There must be a middle-aged woman living in this guy's body!
At this time, Ron came down from upstairs with a glass of wine, dressed in a dark gray tailored suit, looking refined and stylish.
"They said you're here, I'll come and see."
"Hmm~ Bring me a drink, if you don't come again, I'll be annoyed by Albert."
"Ha~ He complained to you again, right? Man, you're finally able to empathize with my suffering. ”
One of them is in charge of the distillery and the other is in charge of Shaqima's production, and they don't look up all day long, so you can imagine how much 'sin' he has suffered.
Albert stood up puffy:
"You two bastards, I'm getting down to business!"
"Yes, yes, I know you're down to business, man, pour me a glass of wine first, your business has to be accompanied by a drink to be strong."
It was impossible to count on Albert to pour the wine, or Ron was interesting enough to help pour a glass of red wine.
made Li Yaoyang a little strange:
"What's wrong with your change of taste? Tired of whiskey? ”
"No, I bought it for you to taste, you can drink it."
"Huh? Is there anything strange? ”
He shook the wine glass, the rose-red body hung in the glass, a mellow aroma came to his nose, sour and sweet, very different from the Bordeaux red wine in his impression:
"This wine..."
After taking a sip slightly, it has the taste of spirits + vinegar, and the sweet and sour taste is difficult for first-time tasters to accept, but after swallowing, the long aftertaste makes people interested.
This wine has a high acidity, which does not feel suitable for pure introduction, and is more suitable for food.
In addition, the aftertaste has a soft earthy aroma, as if you are walking on a mountain road, grabbing a handful of wet soft earth, mixed with grass and mushrooms, and placing it between your nose to take a deep breath, the pure aroma from nature will sink into your heart.
Acidity and earthiness, typical of Italian red wines.
He opened his eyes abruptly to look at Ron, and he chuckled:
"Drunk out? I just bought a red wine from Sicily from a friend. ”
"Ricardo?"
"Hmm~ It must be him, he has been increasing the shipment of red wine recently, and the source of goods is from his hometown."
Li Yaoyang took a sip and put down the wine glass:
"In addition to being the head of the Hey Hand Party, he is also a businessman, so there is nothing wrong with this."
"But I would say that this wine is really good, with the sun and pure rain of the Mediterranean and the breeze blowing from the foothills of the Alps."
Li Yaoyang said suspiciously:
"You're not going to suggest that I buy wine from Ricardo and sell it, do you?"
