Chapter 137: This Is the Wine I Made
The little thing raised his head, looked at the little one, raised his forelimbs and nodded his head a few times, the little one felt the recognition of the little thing, and rolled happily on the bed holding the little thing. At this time, the old ancestor came in and said, "Xiao Jiu, clean up and go out with me, the general has been waiting outside the door for a while, let's go and have a look." ”
As soon as the little guy heard why even the general was waiting at the door, he didn't know what was happening, so he hurriedly got dressed with the help of the twins, put the snowflakes in his arms, and followed the ancestor to the gate of the courtyard. As soon as I got out of the gate, I saw a car parked at the door, and after the three people got into the car, the general only said "go", and began to complain, saying so many things, the two of you are hiding at home, the door is not out, no one is seen, if you don't come in person today, I don't know when you want to hide. Saying that the car had already left the city, and after a while along the main road to the wine field, the little guy smelled the smell and muttered: "It's such a bad wine field, what emergency and bad things can there be in the stinky coax, make a fuss." ”
As he spoke, he entered the wine hall and saw that many people were busy, and saw a general and three old men standing there, seemingly waiting for their arrival. As soon as they saw the car enter the drinking field, the four of them hurriedly came over to salute and began to chatter. It turned out to be the shopkeeper of this wine field, because the wine was difficult to sell, and did not want to stop production, a backlog of a lot of wine, if not bought in time, the wine will deteriorate and sour after a long time, and it will have to be poured out, but how to sell the wine, the general has no way for a while, so he had to find a lot of people, sold a part, but the stock of wine is too large, and he has not even sold one-tenth, so he is anxious to find two people to come. The other is trust in the little guy now. As soon as I couldn't help it, I remembered that the little guy was coming. From the bottom of my heart, because I have often been with the little guy during this period of time, I haven't seen him for a few days, and I really miss it a little. So today, I had the courage to break into the royal backyard, which was to kill the head before, but now I have pulled the two out with the face of the ancestor. At this time, seeing a few people surrounding him, he began to nag, so he called his designated director of the wine shop and walked into a room, and the little guy saw this and knew that the general of the Dao Dao often came here. As soon as he entered the room, the general said to the old man in charge: "Now I tell you, you are not allowed to say anything about the Tao now." Otherwise, I'll dispose of you with my own hands, and you should understand what that means. This is my country's protector of the country, this is the ninth prince of the dynasty, and he will be called the ninth prince in the future, and he is also your master, the actual owner of the wine field, even I am running errands for him, and now I will listen to his arrangement. ”
The old man listened. I was so frightened that I trembled all over, and when I looked at the little doll in front of me, I couldn't believe that it was real. At this time, I heard the little doll say, "You always talk about the process of making sake first, and then we will talk about other things." As he spoke, he said to the general, "Did you let the blacksmith make the things last time?" Okay, send someone to bring it, maybe it can come in handy today. The general said yes, and went out to make arrangements. When the old man saw the general's behavior, he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat. Immediately let go of his curiosity, and described the whole process of production in detail in 1510.
After listening, the little guy said to the old man, "Don't be afraid. Now listen to me carefully, I'll just say it once. Don't ask me anything about it when you go out. Then after explaining how to install the facilities and how to use them, he asked the old man if he was still unclear, and the old man pretended to have the courage to ask a few questions, saying that there was no more. At this time, the general came in, and the little fellow said, "Now let all those who work in the wine house sign a pledge not to reveal the facilities and methods we use, and no one who comes, including the emperor, will be allowed to see our things." Then the general called the generals who came with him, and went down as he was told.
After a while, the old man came back and said that he was about to install the facilities as instructed, and the little guy said, "Be sure to clean it, and wash it with wine after the last day." The old man walked out again, and when he came back he said that he had already checked it himself, so everyone could rest assured. After waiting for more than half a day, the old man ran in with a trembling mouth, and as soon as he entered the door, he knelt down with a "plop" and said, "God, God, you really came out of the divine wine." ”
The old ancestor and the general stood up when they heard the sound, picked up the little guy and followed the old man to the place of the so-called divine wine, only to see a small trough dripping out of the water, but the two of them would never say that it was water, because this colorless and transparent liquid exuded a strong aroma of wine. The old ancestor couldn't help but reach out and take some in the palm of his hand, put it to his mouth and sniffed it, and then drank it with a "squeak" in his mouth, and only said after half a sound: "This is wine, I have already drunk it before, and I am drinking stinky water, and I feel disgusting when I think about it." ”
The general still looked at the old ancestor in a daze, and the old ancestor saw this and said: "Look at what, I don't know how to drink in front of such a good wine, my brain is simply broken." ”
The general also learned the method of the ancestors, and then took a sip, and when he was done, he stood still for a long time, and sighed and said: "I'm going to pour all the wine and horses that can't be sold, and now I want to vomit when I think about it." As he spoke, he was about to go out of the hall and call for someone.
The old man in charge said: "General, you must not pour it, this wine is made from it, if you pour it, even I will fight with you." ”
When the general heard this, he turned around and hugged the little guy and said, "I'm really convinced of you, I don't know if there is anything you can't do in this world." ”
The little guy nodded seriously and said, "Yes, there are too many, just say one and you can't do it." In the puzzled eyes of the general, after the little guy whispered in the general's ear, the general looked at the little guy with a strange expression, and then laughed loudly, and the laughter spread far away, and everyone was shocked. But whoever asks will cause the general to laugh, but never say what the little guy said, which has become an open secret for all those who know the Tao but don't know what to say. Since then, the relationship between the two has been even more extraordinary.
When the general had finished laughing, the little guy let the general carry him to see the wine he had stored, and then went around, and then called the old man in charge, and the little guy said, "You must now use a strict jar of wine, and then stuff it tightly with an odorless cork, and seal it with cloth and mud, and transport it to the warehouse below, and store it in a ventilated and dark storehouse." I mixed these grains to make wine, which was delivered to my home in porcelain jars. Then he turned to the general and said, "After I have finished the wine I have sent, I will give it to you to taste what I think is good wine." ”
The old man in charge heard that the wine that came out now was still a wine that the little master did not like, so he wanted to brew something else. After the most difficult time, I had to process it myself, and I couldn't help but suck the saliva in my mouth. The general turned to the old man and said: "What are you doing, let you make such a fuss, I can't hold back my saliva, it's really that the wine hasn't seen a shadow yet, there are two more old gluttons, don't do it like this, do things with all your heart, when the wine of the ninth prince is good, I must think of you when I drink it." It's going down. ”
The old man nodded, and secretly made up his mind in his heart that he wanted to do a good job, and he couldn't let the god-like little master look down on him. After the end, the old man in charge also signed a treaty, giving the old man fifty taels of silver per hundred catties of wine, continuing to expand the scale, building houses, and employing people must be reliable and credible.
Come to the barracks tent. The little guy took out the little thing and let the general see it, and the general shook his head after looking at it for a long time and said that he didn't know what kind of spirit beast this was. The little guy put the little thing in his arms and said to the general, "Now I think that the house in the square should be built." As he spoke, he took out a cloth bag from his bag and said, "This is the flour noodles that my grandfather has grinded." Remember the last time you ate meat, you know the program, this is the ingredient, each one uses this point. Just rub it with water or oil. After drawing the dosage of each one, he handed it to the general and continued: "You will go through the cooks who have selected a good one for you to watch last time, and then put this material into a jar for them, and let them go to the house they have built to open a business, of course, it must be contracted." Twenty percent of all income is set aside for them. Let them continue to develop and buy houses on other streets, the more the better. There is only one in this city, and the other people are sent to other cities to open a business, and only one is arranged in each city, and they can send as many people as they can, except for the cost of buying shops and building houses, the conditions are all the same, let them let go of the competition. But all the houses that are opened must be the same, this point cannot be changed at will, and it must be one size smaller than the current one, this is the rule, it must be strictly enforced, not sloppy. ”
The old ancestor and the general didn't know, so they asked, "The construction of a house should be decided according to the size of the place, why do you have to make other places smaller than this one?" ”
The little guy said: "This is the difference between the head and the tail, this is to clearly tell people that this is the birthplace, the head, and the center, so that they can't forget their roots." You will send someone to deliver the ingredients according to the time, and give the specified quantity. It is also a rule for them to plan the number of operations per day and never operate more. ”
The two didn't understand it even more, and the little guy said, "If you see something that is sold all day long, can you remember it?" When you see that you are a little late, you will not be able to forget? ”
The two thought for a moment, nodded at the same time, and then looked at the little guy strangely. The little one added, "Eating and drinking is a kind of satisfaction, and if it becomes regular, it is a kind of depravity." Therefore, I do not approve of the so-called gourmets, so everything sold is only ten taels of silver, and every pound of wine is also ten taels, which has become a uniform rule. ”
As soon as they heard it, they said that this was nonsense, and the two promised that it would not take ten days to open before they had to close the door, and absolutely no one would be stupid enough to know that you robbed the money and sent it to you, and asked the little guy to change the price immediately. The little guy resolutely refused to change his attitude, and threatened the two of them: "I'm the one who pays for it, why should I change it, you should listen to me, if you let me do this and that again, don't think about the good wine in the future." As soon as the two of them heard this, they gave up, and let the little guy make a fuss, and then he would talk about it. The little guy rolled his eyes and said: "In this way, if the scene you said occurs in ten days, I will invite you to eat a good meal, otherwise you two will have to give me something that I can like, how about it, come and gamble." The two looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and said, "Okay, just accompany your little guy to make a bet, and no one will be allowed to rely on it then."
After the three of them clapped their hands, the little guy told the general how to arrange the inside of the shop, and left with the ancestor after matching those things. (To be continued......)
