Chapter 168: Waste Ah Feng
Feng Mu and Xiao Chucai are no longer looking aimlessly, but looking for a larger winery, since the uncle likes to drink, those famous wineries can't be let go.
It took some time for the two to arrive in Jiujiang, where the largest winery in Jiujiang is called "Xinglongfang", with a total of more than 200 guys, not only in the local area, but also in the country.
When the season arrived in May, it was already a little hot, Feng Mu and Xiao Chucai were eating in a small inn, and planned to go to "Xinglongfang" to inspect the whereabouts of their uncle after eating.
In Xinglongfang, workers are busy steaming sorghum to get koji, and more often they use wheat, which is ground into flour, then mixed with water, and then pressed into square koji pieces, each weighing about five kilograms.
After the koji block is made, it is then sent to the koji cultivation room to ferment, and the koji bacteria multiply in large quantities inside the koji block, and this process takes about a month. After the completion of the koji block, move out of the koji room to dry and store, after the curvature, it is earthy yellow, and must be ground into koji powder before it can be mixed into sorghum rice to make wine.
And that's just koji-making, and there's a more elaborate craft of winemaking, and while the workshop was busy, a bearded, unkempt man fell to the ground with a basket of wheat in his arms, and the wheat in the basket was scattered all over the ground.
The guy at the brewery is angry, this man has been here for some time, but he only drinks secretly, and he makes a mess when he does things, and this kind of thing happens several times a day, and the guys are tired of it.
"Useless waste, you can't do this little thing well, you know how to drink all day long, what is the point of living except for drinking?"
A tall man, wearing a sackcloth and no buttons on his chest, sweating profusely in the heat, seeing that people are doing a disservice and delaying his work, how can he not be angry?
Unkempt man who fell to the ground just raised his head, grinned a hearty smile, and muttered, "Wine, good wine." ”
"Drunkards. The fellow glanced at him in annoyance, and kicked him with his foot, and the more he kicked, the harder he became, the scruffy man just smiled and kept shouting, "Good wine, good wine." ”
A guy on the side couldn't stand it, and stepped forward to stop him: "Okay, if you kick it again, he should be crippled." ”
The kicker stopped, still angry, and said, "I don't know what the owner thinks, this waste will only add to the chaos, and let him be in the winery, but it will slow down our work." ”
"I can't say that, Ah Feng is also pitiful, he is a homeless homeless man, and his mind is not clear, if it wasn't for the owner to take him in, I'm afraid that he would have starved to death on the street, so he should accumulate virtue and do good. ”
Listening to his companion's words, the man who kicked the man complained: "As far as your heart is good, I am a wicked person, and you are responsible for sweeping up the wheat that he has knocked over." Then he cursed and left.
Seeing the man walking away, the relatively thin guy squatted down to help Ah Feng, a sloppy man who fell to the ground and was kicked countless times, Ah Feng looked at him, also grinned, and then a wine jug came out of his arms, and said, "Wine, wine, wine." ”
The guy who was helping him snatched the flask and said angrily: "Don't drink any more, if you continue like this, you will die sooner or later." ”
Ah Feng, who was half-drunk and half-awake, seemed to be weak, but he unknowingly snatched the wine jug, pulled the stopper and poured the wine into his mouth.
The guy wanted to snatch the wine jug from Ah Feng's hand, but Ah Feng just stood up straight and fell to the ground with a "plop", still drinking.
The guy who persuaded the wine was angry, and he raised his foot to kick the wine jug in Ah Feng's hand, but Ah Feng turned sideways and kicked him right in the back of the head.
The guy didn't give up and continued to kick, but the flask in Ah Feng's hand was kicked away and smashed into the head of a guy, who fell backwards and knocked down a wine vat, and then the other wine vat was also knocked down by a chain reaction.
Seeing this scene, more than a dozen guys immediately surrounded him, punching and kicking Ah Feng who was lying on the ground, Ah Feng hiccuped, and did not dodge, let those punches and feet hit his body, and kept shouting wine in his mouth.
"Stop, this matter is none of Ah Feng's business, it's all my fault. ”
"Okay, Ah Cai, it's rare that everyone doesn't care about you, let them teach Ah Feng a lesson, this drunkard deserves to be killed. ”
Another guy with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks pulled Ah Cai and didn't let him help Ah Feng who was beaten, the guys fought for a while, and saw that Ah Feng was just protecting his head, so he stopped, and one of them scolded: "Waste, it's better to die if you live like you." ”
As if he understood the man's words, more like he didn't understand, Ah Feng showed a face full of mud, drunk and confused, and then grinned and smiled.
Ah Cai looked at this idiot, and felt a little unbearable, he saw Ah Feng, as if he saw his eldest brother who died of illness.
These guys are all from poor families, and it is not easy to earn a little salary in this winery, so why bully a fool like this?
What's more, Ah Feng has never asked for wages, and the owner naturally won't give it, and the owner of the workshop won't know about Ah Feng's stealing of alcohol, but why did he acquiesce to him so nonsense, the honest Ah Cai really can't figure out the reason.
The owner does not often come to the winery to inspect, but at the end of each month, he will personally come to pay them wages, never in arrears, but only not to Ah Feng, Ah Cai knows in his heart that the fool Ah Feng is only afraid that he will not use the money, and the owner will not give him wages, so it will be his wine money.
However, the owner of the workshop actually appeared today, to be precise, he was tied up and appeared in front of everyone.
The guys stopped what they were doing, and they all looked at the three villains who tied up the owner in a daze, while Ah Feng was still lying on the ground, shouting wine in his mouth.
"From now on, Xinglongfang has been taken over by our brothers, the salary has been halved, if anyone is unwilling to do it, they can get out, and if they are willing to stay, they will continue to work quickly. ”
One of them, armed with a broadsword, shouted to the fellows. The guys looked at the owner who was tied up, and one of them asked out loud: "Master, what happened, how can this be?"
"The three men made a bet with me, and if I lost, they didn't want to ask for money, but asked me to get out of the winery, and I wouldn't give in, so they tied me up here. ”
Hearing the owner's words, the guys suddenly became angry, picked up the wooden sticks one after another, and hit the three people, who knew that instead of threatening the owner, the three men confronted the two hundred guys head-on.
The flat pole was cut off with a knife, and then he was stabbed on his body, one guy spurted blood, fell to the ground and wailed in pain, and another guy rushed up and was stabbed in the lower abdomen with a knife, and then was kicked away, and fell right on Ah Feng's body.
Seeing that these three people were so powerful, the other guys retreated one after another, not daring to step forward again, but Ah Feng, who had been lying on the ground, slowly stood up, pushed through the crowd, walked to the three men with knives, and grinned: "I want to drink." ”
"Is this a dead shit?" asked the guy who kicked him earlier, blankly.
"Ah Feng, get out of the way!" Ah Cai saw Ah Feng walking in front of the three people without knowing whether he was alive or dead, and one of them had already raised his knife and slashed at him, he hurriedly exclaimed.
