My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 240 Wine Accident

   "This, brother, is the kind of fruit wine you put on the woman's table when you put the full moon wine on the doll at home."

  Liu Xiangqian smiled slightly awkwardly, and then pointed to the two female leaders behind him to explain to Chen Ling.

   One of the female leaders with her hair **** was the last time she came, from this county, she was in her thirties, and she was relatively young.

The other was sent by the city and was in charge of flood control in Lingyun County. She was a middle-aged woman in her mid-forties, with short, short hair, army green pants, short black high heels, and a very short stature. Thin, his name is Li Min.

It probably means that they are going to prepare a reception banquet for this Commander Li today. This person in the county drank the fruit wine from Chen Ling Farm and was obsessed with it, so he told the instructor sent from the city. found it.

   They didn't come all the way to find them.

   But the surrounding provinces and cities have suffered severe floods one after another, and the city also attaches great importance to it, and a notice was issued at the end of last month.

   Up to now, nearly half a month has passed, the Jinshui River, Nansha River, Beisha River, Xiaocang River, and several rivers in the surrounding counties have been stationed on various sections of the dams and dams of the flood control headquarters.

  Including the reservoir on Chenwangzhuang's side, manpower has also been arranged, and all of them will be in place within the next two days.

   In order to facilitate timely observation of flood conditions, timely prevention, and timely reporting. And appropriately carry out some preliminary flood control preparations, and organize and arrange the retreat of nearby villagers in case of danger.

  Otherwise, most ordinary people can't even read the flares, and it is easy to be aware of the danger in the face of danger. Run too late and you will suffer loss of life and property.

After listening to the introduction, Chen Ling hugged his son and a few people and simply said hello, and said: "I have a lot of fruit wine here, but there are several types, not the same, I don't know which one you drank that day. , come and have a look with me."

  In the past, there were people who came to buy eggs, duck eggs, eels, and even a dog at first…

   Today, this group of people came to buy wine, Chen Ling was really surprised.

  Because the fruit wine at home is seldom taken in front of outsiders, it is all drunk by relatives and friends.

   In other words, the son's full moon wine was put out once, which made me remember?

   While a little surprised, I was also a little confused.

   I haven’t sold it before, how can I sell it?

   The wine he brewed was his own, and he never thought about selling it, so he didn’t know what price to set for a while.

  I thought that since I've come to the door, I'll show them first, and if they want less, I'll just send them some and send them away.

   So he handed his son to Wang Susu.

  Chen Ling took these people to the back of the farm.

   "Little comrade, you have done a really good job in this place. It's beautiful, quiet, cool and pleasant."

   Hearing the chirping of birds and the sound of babbling water, the conductor Li from the city raised his head and looked around at the bamboo and wooden buildings, and said admiringly.

   Several county leaders also nodded and praised. When they came last time, the farm was full of people, and the voices were noisy and noisy. They were not in the mood to observe, and after it rained heavily, they were even less in the mood.

This time I came here, I just felt that it was very different from the last time. There were birds singing, flowers and greenery everywhere, small fish and tadpoles swimming back and forth in the canal, and ducks and geese swimming past in the distance, full of unspeakable scenes. Vitality and vitality.

   And the farther you go to the back of the farm, the cooler you feel, and the sound of rushing water makes your body and mind feel more comfortable on a hot day.

   "It's alright, my farm was just built this year, and some places are still rough, and the trees in the orchard haven't grown up yet. Let's say it's cool, but it's not too cool."

  Chen Ling's words are somewhat modest, and partly true.

   At least next year, when the orchards flourish and cover the surrounding area of ​​the farm, and the bamboo forest grows up a few knots, it will meet his and Liang Yuemin's previous visions. At that time, living here in summer will really feel comfortable.

   It can only be considered cooler now, far from reaching the point of comfort and comfort.

"Little comrade is very demanding. I just saw that you wrote a lot of introductions outside the farm. Among them, there are banquet items, and the writing is very poetic. If we want to have lunch with you today, it is inconvenient. How about cooking for us?" Commander Li Min asked.

  Chen Ling was immediately embarrassed when he heard it. This was a saucy poem created by Liang Yuemin. Combining the words in the Lanting Preface and the Preface to Tengwang Pavilion, he forced him to add a few strokes.

   said that his farm was doing such a good job, and the introduction should not be too rough, so he added a few sentences to the title.

  Otherwise, even if a normal person runs a farm and provides food and lodging to the outside world, no one will write about the banquet. After all, no one in the countryside can understand this.

   At this point, Chen Ling had no choice but to explain: "I have this project, but it hasn't been perfected yet, so I can't entertain guests at the moment..."

  The full moon wine has just been set up at home. He is very happy, but he is also very tired after finishing it. He doesn't want to entertain outsiders anymore.

   Furthermore, these food and lodging items in the farm are planned to be opened to the outside world in a few years. After all, no one comes to play in this valley now, right?

But what I didn't expect was that just after he said this, a bald and round-brained cadre among the county leaders was unhappy. With a shy belly, he said in an official tone: "Hey, you little boy, you can't be enlightened. In a place as big as your farm, you can set up a full moon wine in your own house, so why can't you entertain Commander Li for a meal?"

  Chen Ling glanced at him when he heard the words, and recognized the identity of this man.

   The last time Wang Laishun introduced him, he was the county flood control commander, so he glanced at him and ignored him.

However, he was already unhappy in his heart, and the smile faded from his face, and he said to Commander Li, "I'm sorry, the crops in the field have not been planted yet, and the baby is still young, and I have been busy inside and out recently, it is indeed a reception. No."

   Just now he thought that if these people wanted less wine, he would just give them away, but now he doesn't want to go back.

   "It's okay, I'm taking the liberty." The female leader smiled at him.

   Then he said seriously to the cadre who just spoke: "Lao Feng, you go out and wait for us first."

   "I...this..." Lao Feng's expression changed instantly, and he wanted to defend himself, but looking around, no one of the people accompanying him spoke to him, and no one asked him to go down the stairs.

   After standing there for a few seconds, he had no choice but to leave with an ugly face.

   On the other hand, this Commander Li seemed even more happy after reprimanding Lao Feng, and expressed his apology to Chen Ling again implicitly, asking him to continue to pick wine.

   This time, Chen Ling's face softened a lot. After taking them to the farm, they went in from the kitchen and opened the warehouse door of the warehouse.

There are two large wine jars in the warehouse, which are mixed fruit wines of wine and kiwi, and the other medium wine jars are mulberry wine and sour plum wine that my father-in-law had nothing to make when Wang Susu was about to give birth two months ago. There are two jars of Baogu wine bought from the county.

   In addition to these wine jars and wine jars, there are sauerkraut jars, rice jars, noodle jars, grain jars, and oil barrels.

   Although there are many things, it looks orderly and not cluttered.

   "The two large tanks are wine and kiwi wine, which are the fruit wines we drink a lot here."

  Chen Ling pointed to the two most conspicuous jars, and then introduced what was in the wine jar: "This is mulberry wine, sour plum wine, and baogu wine, let's take a look..."

   "This, rich brothers, can we all taste it? Just a little less, we'll pay for it later."

   Liu Xiangqian, who didn't speak just now, rubbed his hands together and asked.

   The last time he came, he saw a few people with rather scary identities who had a close relationship with Chen Ling. The old Feng just now followed him last time, and even his money was with him.

  It's a pity that my brain is too bad, I'm used to the tone, it's hard to change for a while, and suddenly I'm confused.

   "Okay, the big brother at the back can help me get some wine glasses from the kitchen."

  Chen Ling nodded and greeted the back.

   "Okay, thank you."

After bringing the wine glasses, Chen Ling first filled them with mulberry wine and sour plum wine. The female leader of the county drank them and immediately said that they were the two wines that she drank that day.

   "Sour plum wine tastes better, but I don't know what medicinal herbs are in it, and it has a faint medicinal smell. I can't drink sour plum wine."

   "How do you sell this wine?"

   Noticed that everyone was looking at it, Chen Ling thought about it and quoted: "The price of sour plum wine is the same as that of mulberry wine, five yuan a tael."

   "Ah? Five dollars a tael? Little comrade, what you sell is so expensive. It's more expensive than some wines in the city." Commander Li was slightly stunned.

"It's not expensive. This is the wine that my father-in-law gave us to drink. He is an old medicine farmer in Fenglei Town. The wine is full of good things. When the wine is full moon, it is only when he is happy. Yes, I don't usually take it out at all."

  Chen Ling shook his head and said seriously.

   He was telling the truth.

The statement    may have become a cliché after more than ten or twenty years, but at this time, the people present listened to it but subconsciously believed it.

   But they all said: "It's too expensive, little comrade, do you misunderstand us? We are cadres who serve the people, not old feudal rich people. How can we buy such expensive wine."

  Chen Ling still shook his head: "It's really not expensive, the price of conscience."

He said that the price of conscience is really the price of conscience. For example, the health wine sold after two or three years, even if the two kinds of wine have no effect of 1%, they dare to charge the sky. The real fruit wine, at this price, really has a conscience and can no longer be conscientious.

   "What about the wine and kiwi wine here? We bought you a few kilograms of sour plum wine and mulberry wine. Can you give us two jars of wine? We don't often drink the farmer's fruit wine." Commander Li asked.

   "Give you two altars?"

  Chen Ling smiled: "This wine and kiwi wine are more expensive than the two just now. If you want to sell it, at least 50 yuan a tael, I won't lose."

   This is what he made with diluted spirit water. It is very nourishing to drink, and it is much better than the fruit wine made by Lao Zhang’s medicinal herbs.

  The price is naturally more expensive.

   "What, what? Fifty dollars? One or two?"

   "You, you, it's really expensive, one or two, spit at the mouth is fifty dollars."

  Liu couldn't help shouting loudly when he heard it.

   I was also secretly scolding this kid for really daring to ask for a price, and treating people as livestock?

Commander Li was also surprised, but he didn't have such a big reaction from Liu Xiangqian, but said to Chen Ling: "Can we try these two wines? I would like to see what kind of medicine you sell in this wine, and what kind of fame does it have? ."

   "Okay, let you taste."

  Chen Ling walked to the wine jar, opened the wooden lid, scooped out a little, and poured half a glass for each person: "This is what I asked you to lead, in fact, it's almost a hundred dollars."

   Everyone was speechless, but they became more and more curious, and hurriedly tasted the cup carefully.

Then…

   Just took a sip, and their eyes lit up.

  These two kinds of wines, those who are used to eating Chen Ling's family's food and drinking his water, can't notice anything, but those who have never touched it, taste it for the first time, it is enough to be called amazing.

   "Hey, no wonder you dare to ask for the price. This wine is really delicious, and it has a strong taste, which makes people's tongues salivate." Li Min swallowed a few saliva, squinting and savoring the aftertaste.

  Other leaders are not as literate as her, but they just keep saying that this wine is delicious.

   Also, for people who are not used to the smell of medicine, this wine is more friendly.

   "This one is more expensive, but why doesn't it smell like herbs?"

   After hurriedly finishing the glass of wine, Commander Li asked.

  Chen Ling said nonsense when he heard the words: "Because the flavor of the medicine has already been absorbed, and the age is sufficient. Good wine depends on the age."

   Actually this goes against common sense.

   But now these people have been fooled, and they all believe it.

   Then I went to try the kiwi fruit wine, and after tasting it, I thought for a while before deciding which one to buy.

   In the end, the wine and the kiwifruit wine were sold for two catties each for fifty yuan for a tael, and four catties of wine were sold, which was two thousand yuan.

   Mulberry wine and sour plum wine are cheaper and sell more, but the price is far less than the first two.

  Forget it, selling some wine, it sold for more than 2,000 yuan, nearly 3,000 yuan.

   These people are not short of money, the money in their purse is enough, but they ordered it on the spot, and there is no need to go to the county town to get the money.

  Chen Ling carefully packed them with wine jars, sent the group away, counted out ten pieces of money, and took them to Wang Cunye. This was considered mulberry wine and sour plum wine, and it was not too much to give.

   But when my father-in-law saw him bringing the money, he refused to ask for it.

  's mother-in-law also said: "The money you sell is yours, and the family doesn't say anything, so why give us this."

"Also, your second brother followed a great professor into the mountains last year, and they gave him so much to lead the way because of your face, but they haven't told you anything yet, take it back, I've learned your thoughts from your father, Family don't do this."

Last year, Wang Qingzhong led the way to Han Ninggui and the others. He gave him 150 per day. There are many years and years. The old couple knew it and thought about the good of his son-in-law. Comfort, for them, it is more than happy to get any money.

  Chen Ling had no choice but to take it back.

   "Where does this leader come from, why are you so rich? Buy some fruit wine and spend two or three thousand yuan, even if it has a little medicinal effect, it will not be enough. I really don't understand this group of people."

  Wang Cunye frowned and asked, at the same time he was a little worried that his son-in-law would be asking for a higher price, and that he was afraid that someone would find him.

"Hey, you don't know this for a long time. My friends in the city said that in the situation like last year, there was a flood of water everywhere, there was an extreme shortage of food, and there were still people in the food bureau making jokes, and there were people who made big fish every day. , I'm eating a large perch."

   "So, the life of others is beyond our imagination."

  Chen Ling also heard a lot about Zhao Dahai and Bobcats. At this time, when he talked to his father-in-law, the old man was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him, and even scolded this group of idiots.
