Chapter 193: Invite the wine master out of the mountain
I don't know if I don't turn around, and I'm scared when I turn around.
It was only at this time that Su Ying discovered that the lives of the people in this land of the original Wei State were no better than those of the Great Zhou.
Even worse.
Including the most famous winery before, that is, the Dawei distillery that Zuo Chengyi's caravan cooperated with before, it was empty.
The local people explained: "The distillery has made a lot of money over the years, but most of it has been collected by the palace people through various bright eyes. More than half a year ago, after a fight with Da Zhou, the imperial court was short of money, so it found an excuse to casually set up the owner of the distillery and copied the house......"
Wei lost the war, the country was torn apart and cannibalized by other countries, and in this world, Wei has become history.
But the merchants who were occupied and embezzled by the mediocre court at the beginning were in a slump, and even disappeared forever with the disappearance of the Great Wei.
Su Ying hated the Wei court, which was no different from hating the Great Zhou court.
The bitter ones are just the people who earn their hard-earned money.
"Uncle, do you know where the owner of this distillery went later?" Su Ying asked unrelentingly.
The middle-aged man gestured to the dilapidated house behind the dilapidated winery.
"The imperial court lost the battle, the emperor was also killed, the people of the Great Zhou came to take over, and recently released a group of wronged people, and the owner of this winery was also released. It's a pity that they don't have a home, so they live in that shabby house. β
Su Ying thanked the person for the direction and walked towards the dilapidated house.
Su Ying led the horse over, and happened to see an old man with white hair, leaning against the wall to bask in the sun.
"Old manβ"
"Humph!"
The old man didn't pay attention to anyone, got up, patted his buttocks and entered the house, and closed the door with a "bang".
It is clear that the living should not be approached.
The guide just now took a few steps to chase after him and explained: "This is the old owner of the winery, who has been doing it for decades, and the business is booming, and he was suddenly raided by the imperial court. β
Su Ying understands very well.
A lifetime of hard work was ruined once it was, especially at this age, how easy is it to talk about it again?
Even if you have the confidence to rise up, but the distrust of the new ruler is uncertain, who knows if you will be forcibly taken away by others under the same pretext when you do it again?
At the beginning, my own supermarket, when it was clear that the goods could be opened for business at the end, didn't it just stop?
Su Ying sighed, stepped forward and knocked on the door again, "Old manβ"
But she knocked on the door several times, but the old man did not move.
"This person's surname is Wen, his name is Wenjiu, and everyone in our area calls him the wine master." The guide continues to explain.
"Thank you." Su Ying thanked the well-wishers, and then called the door again: "Wine master, we are friends of the left owner of the Dingsheng caravan, and we are passing by here because of something, and we are here to visit." Could you please open the door? β
At this time, there was finally movement in the yard.
A middle-aged man's voice came.
"Dad, it's a friend of Zuo Dong's family, shall I go open the door?"
"Hmph." The old man snorted coldly again, but did not stop it.
There was a "squeak" and the door opened.
The middle-aged man was busy inviting people inside.
"It turned out to be a friend of the Zuo Dongjia, and it was rude." Don't forget to introduce yourself: "I'm Wen Yan, my father was offended a lot just now, please forgive me." β
It turned out that this man was the son of warm wine.
Su Ying hurriedly greeted, "Uncle Wen is polite. β
It can be seen from the attitude of the father and son that their relationship with Zuo Chengyi is still very good, otherwise she would not have been invited in after reporting Zuo Chengyi's name.
Soβ
That's a good thing.
"The wine master and Uncle Wen are famous all over the world for their liquor, and the left owner of the prosperous caravan is full of praise for the two. Today, the little girl passed by here, I wonder if I can ask for a cup to taste? β
The wine master had a very bad temper, and said fiercely: "The winery is gone, where is the wine for you to taste?" β
Su Ying pretended not to know.
"How could a good distillery be gone?"
This opened the old man's chatterbox, and he scolded the dead Emperor of Great Wei, and scolded the eight ancestors of the dead emperor.
If the emperor knew underground, he would have to turn into a cow ghost and snake god to beat this old man violently.
The old man scolded happily, and most of the anger in his heart was released.
Wen Yan, who was on the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "Since the accident in the distillery, my father has been depressed all day long, and he can't say a few words every day. Today, the girl mentioned it, and my father was finally able to say a good thing. There are many indecent things in the words, and I hope the girl is not strange. β
Of course, Su Ying is not strange.
Not only is it not strange, but he also scolded his own emperor.
"Your emperor really deserves to die, and our emperor of the Great Zhou won't live long......"
The wine master snorted.
"I heard that your emperor should have died a long time ago, it is best to die, and bad emperors should die."
Su Ying echoed: "That's it, that mediocre emperor should have died a long time ago." You don't know yet, it's the Zuo Dong family you know, who, together with his own brother, wants to pull our mediocre emperor down. The two brothers of the Zuo Dong family are really not easy, their father was the founding hero of the Great Zhou, but he was killed by the dog emperor, and now the dog emperor is also innocent. β
The Wen family's father and son, who have been doing business with Zuo Chengyi for a while, have ordinary dealings, and also appreciate his life, but as for his life experience and current situation, they don't know anything.
The wine master was immediately stunned and said: "No wonder I think that kid seems to have hidden his thoughts, it turns out that he still has such a life experience." β
A friend's friend is also a friend, and when he talked about the rise, the old man finally didn't have a cold face.
"Little girl, don't you want to taste my wine, you wait, I'll go get it."
"Thank you for your face."
"Don't be so polite yet, don't blame me when you're drunk later."
"Wine is strong and instigates people's courage, and when you get drunk later, you just have the courage to ask the wine master for something."
"Hehe, think beautifully!"
The old man's face was cold again, but he still happily took a jar of wine from his private collection.
Su Ying poured a full glass for the wine master first, and toasted to him: "Wine master, you have this wine-making skill, if you don't go out of the mountain again, it will be a pity for the world." The little girl came for this purpose this time. β
"You want to be beautiful!" The wine master drank the wine, but there was no door for other things.
Su Ying glanced at Zhao Yuan, who was eager to try, "It's up to you." β
Zhao Yuan received the hint and hurriedly bowed down to pour wine for the wine master.
"The wine master was bitten by a snake once, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years. Even if you go out of the mountain and open a distillery again, you're afraid that people will worry about it, right? β
"Hmph." The old man was back to his original appearance.
Zhao Yuan is not afraid of eating behind closed doors, and wants to do one thing so that he can behave in front of his wife and children.
Then he said excitedly: "The wine master is old and can't afford to toss, so it's better to be this yellow-haired little girl in front of you."
People set up a big stall, put the merchants of the whole Yunling County into it and built a big shop, as soon as the two countries started a war, people said to stop, and they were embarrassed to talk and laugh with people with a lot of debts.
No, now that the war has stopped, people are still making a comeback.
The wine master is different, half of his body is in the ground-"
"Stinky boy!" Su Ying and the wine master all gave Zhao Yuan a roll of his eyes.
