Chapter 44: Daimyo Distillery
Back at the hotel, Mu Linfeng was about to rest when he heard a knock outside the door.
When I opened the door, I saw Wanwan standing at the door, her head down, rubbing the corners of her clothes with both hands, as if she had something to say to Mu Linfeng.
"Wanwan? What's wrong? Seeing Wanwan's appearance, Mu Linfeng was a little unsure of what she was going to do when she knocked on the door at this time, so he asked.
Wanwan still lowered her head, her hands played with the corners of her clothes, and her toes kept pressing on the soft carpet in the corridor, the urn was angry, and Mu Linfeng didn't hear what she said.
"You can't hear clearly." Mu Linfeng has never seen Wanwan like this.
"Master, didn't you come to Haizhou to look for Xuanshui Cave? How do you think about doing business? Wanwan raised her head and asked.
Mu Linfeng smiled and said, "That's it?"
"Wanwan, I have also inquired in many places in Haizhou in the past few days, but I don't have the slightest clue about this Xuanshui Cave. I think the first is that this Xuanshui Cave is relatively deep, and the second is that I have no roots in Haizhou, so I can't get in touch with them. ”
"Master, do you want to get to know more people through business, so that you can find the Xuanshui Cave conveniently?"
Wanwan was also smart, and immediately understood Mu Linfeng's intentions.
Mu Linfeng smiled, nodded and praised: "Not bad!" ”
But that's not all. It seems that it is not easy to find this Xuanshui Cave, if I can't find it, I can't wait in Haizhou. It's better to do something, if you can't find it, even if I die, I haven't wasted my life, is it? ”
"Phew, Bah, Bah! Master, you won't die, you're a fairy-like figure! ”
"No need to pat yourself on the back, come on, what's the matter with coming to me so late, you definitely won't just ask this!"
Wanwan continued to twist again, lowered her head, and did not speak.
"If you don't say anything, I'll close the door and rest!" Mu Linfeng said that he turned around and was about to close the door.
"No, Master. I, I was trying to ask, if you are in business, can you take me with you? Wanwan raised her head and looked at Mu Linfeng a little timidly, as if she was afraid of being rejected.
Mu Linfeng frowned, and asked with some puzzlement, "Won't I always take you with me?" When I arrived in Haizhou, I didn't even bring your Sister Yan, so I took you with me. Qingwen still came by himself. ”
"Oh, Master. I'm talking about belt, can I also become a shareholder! Wanwan had a showdown, threw her hands behind her back, and said loudly.
Mu Linfeng was amused by Wanwan and looked at her with a smile.
"Master, don't laugh! I want to make money, right? ”
"That's right, that's right! But I didn't expect that you little girl is still a little money fan. ”
Wanwan glared at Mu Linfeng, and said a little angrily, "Master, I'm not." I, I just want to build the biggest Taoist temple for my grandfather! ”
At the mention of Wen Miaozi, Wanwan's eyes were red, but she seemed to endure it and not let herself cry.
"Grandpa took me out to travel once when I was a child, I was young at that time, and I only remember that in front of a particularly large Taoist temple, my grandfather wanted to go in and spend the night, but the Taoist in the temple drove us away and made hurtful words. At that time, I thought to myself, in the future, I want to earn a lot of money and build the largest Taoist temple in the world for my grandfather. But Grandpa is gone. ”
Mu Linfeng saw Wanwan mention Wen Miaozi, and his heart suddenly had thoughts surging. His life was saved by the old Taoist priest, and he Mu Linfeng will always remember it.
Without waiting for Mu Linfeng to speak, Wanwan took out a card from her pocket, handed it to Mu Linfeng, and said, "This is left to me by my grandfather, it seems that there is not much money, and I haven't checked it." Master, it's all for you, even if it's my principal. ”
"Wanwan, you remember, your grandfather is gone, I am your family, understand? You've always had a share of the money I earned. Mu Linfeng touched Wanwan's head and said comfortingly.
Wanwan felt the temperature of Mu Linfeng's palm, her mood improved a little, wiped her tears, looked at Mu Linfeng with a very firm look, and nodded.
"Wanwan, you don't want to get involved in the winery! I have something important for you to do, and you have to do it! ”
When Wanwan heard this, her big eyes, which were still tearful just now, seemed to be shining at this moment, and her body was not curled up like just now, but completely stretched.
It was as if he was about to accept a sacred mission.
"The main purpose of coming to Haizhou, you know. It's to find the cave of the water. Xuanshui Cave is famous for its medical skills, so let's open a medical hall and make a name for ourselves in Haizhou, which should be of some help. And you have studied with Master Wen Miao since you were a child, and I know that you have a foundation in Chinese medicine. This is the only thing you need to do to open a medical center! Mu Linfeng said solemnly.
When Wanwan heard that it was the opening of a medical hall, she couldn't help but show a smug expression.
"Master, I'm really good at this, it's not me bragging, my medical skills are even praised by my grandfather. But can you make money by opening a medical clinic? ”
"Leave the matter of making money to Master, and my newly opened company will be a shareholder in your name. But you don't have to worry about it, concentrate on doing a good job of this medical hall for me, and you must be famous, so that you can have a chance to touch the Xuanshui Cave. ”
"Moreover, the doctor is benevolent, since we practice medicine, although it has our purpose, we must uphold the responsibility of the doctor, truly cure the disease and save people, it does not matter whether you make money or not, it can be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good deeds for yourself."
Wanwan nodded vigorously and looked up at Mu Linfeng, seemingly satisfied with the outcome of this conversation. Then he returned to his room.
The next day, I had breakfast.
Jia Nan had already taken King Kong and the goldfish and was already waiting in the hall on the first floor of the "Pearl of Haizhou".
The location of the distillery is very remote, two hours by car from the center of Haizhou, almost 80 kilometers from the "Pearl of Haizhou".
The group drove to a small town, and as soon as they entered the town, they could see how influential the "Daimyo Distillery" was in this place.
There are several roads with names related to "Daimyo Distillery" displayed on the navigation map, such as "Distillery 1st Road, Distillery 2nd Road," and large advertisements for distilleries can be seen everywhere in the town, and there is even a statue in the center of the town, which is also in the shape of a "sake jug".
"Daimyo Distillery Hospital?" Han Qingwen saw the name of the gilded degree on the hospital in front of him and read.
"How big this famous distillery must be, even the hospital has to be, I feel that this town belongs to yours!" Han Qingwen said in disbelief.
Jia Nan pointed out the car window again, let everyone look, only to see a somewhat dilapidated football field came into view, behind the football field are several school buildings, take a closer look, the name of the school is "Daimyo Distillery Middle School".
Han Qingwen gave Jia Nan a thumbs up, saying that he was really convinced.
The scale of their Han family's Han Ji jewelry doesn't have their own hospitals and schools.
"Actually, this place was originally a mountainous area where no one lived, and you can see that it is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces water on one side. Transportation is extremely inconvenient. My grandfather chose to build a winery here because the water quality and climate were more suitable for sake brewing. ”
Jia Nan pointed to the building outside and explained to everyone.
"At the beginning, the scale of the distillery was not large, and there were not many workers, so my grandfather took those old workers to live in the distillery, and then the scale expanded, and the factory area could no longer live, so he found a construction team to build a dormitory building, but it was still too far away from the city. The worker will be homesick after being away from home for a long time, and the efficiency of the factory will be affected. ”
Jia Nan pointed to the row of six-storey old residential buildings in front of him and said, "That's the first dormitory building to be built." ”
Later, the scale of the distillery was further expanded, and when it came to recruiting workers, priority was given to the families of the original workers. In this way, husband and wife work together, and everyone can work with peace of mind. ”
"You see, there's the first kindergarten in front."
Everyone looked outside, only to see an old building, with some small fish and animal patterns pasted with tiles, and some wooden horses, seesaws and other toys on the flat ground outside.
"I stayed in this kindergarten for a while when I was young, and although I was poor here, I was really happy to live here." Jia Nan said with a smile.
"The efficiency of the winery has always been very good, and my grandfather is also kind, so the winery rarely loses employees, unless they can't do it anymore. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of educating the children of these workers, primary schools and middle schools were built one after another. ”
Jia Nan introduced these past events, and seemed to be very proud of his grandfather.
"So these people are here all the time, won't they get bored?" From the perspective of a young man, Wanwan really thinks it's too boring here.
Mu Linfeng was a little surprised by Wanwan's question, because this girl and the old Taoist priest Wen Miao had lived in Yanzi Mountain for a long time and rarely went out, which was much more boring than here.
"What Wanwan said is that later, for those workers who couldn't do heavy work due to physical reasons, my grandfather allowed them to open some shops, chess rooms, and other entertainment venues here."
"Actually, there are some in the city, and there are basically all here, but they are not so complete. But the prices in this town have always been very low, and the employees of the distillery have been getting along with each other for a long time, and just like their families, they basically don't sell things at high prices. ”
"We're in front of the winery!" Jia Nan said with some excitement.
In front of me was a huge square gatehouse, about fifteen meters high and twenty meters long. The overall shape is simple and heavy, like a red giant tripod, which is very spectacular.
In the middle of the gatehouse, there are two golden characters "Daimyo".
If it weren't for Janan saying that this was the gate of the winery, everyone would probably think that this was a tourist attraction in the town.
Through the gatehouse, you can see the reinforced concrete factory buildings in a row, and there is no end in sight.
"Jia Nan, if it was before, your family would be a real big landlord!" Wanwan looked like she had never seen the world, and said enviously.
"The distillery covers 6,000 acres and at its peak had 12,000 employees, not including retirees. The annual output is more than 20,000 tons. The total population of this town, including the old man and children, was forty-one thousand three hundred and twenty-eight! Janan said.
Mu Linfeng saw Jia Nan say some data of the winery like a few treasures, and he already knew that he had feelings for this winery. It's just that the situation is stronger than people, and it has come to the point of decay now.
When the car arrived at the bottom of the gatehouse, an old man had already come out of the security room at the door, wearing clean and neat gray overalls, and the four small words "Daimyo Distillery" were printed on the overalls.
"Uncle Fang, it's me!" When Jia Nan saw the old man, he immediately ordered King Kong to stop, got out of the car and waved to the old man.
"Young Master Jia?" The old man replied in disbelief, but from his tone, he knew that he and Jia Nan were extremely familiar.
