Hearing Jiang Ning's words, Chen Nianyin was a little surprised, and then said: "Yes, the guest will wait a moment, and I will go get some."

After he left, Ding Yu asked: "Shopkeeper, is this wine not good? I have never seen such a fragrant and delicious wine."

When he said this, he said with a little regret: "I heard that there is a strange rule in this wine shop. On the first and fifteenth day of every month, the first passer-by who passes by the wine shop will be stopped, and they will be invited to taste wine. Grandpa even asked me to avoid them, but I didn't expect their wine to be so delicious. If I had known, I should have come here at the right time every month, and I missed all these years in vain."

Jiang Ning smiled slightly, and was about to speak, when Chen Nianyin's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Grandpa, let me get it, I can."

The old man refused: "Okay, I will do it myself."

After a while, the old man who was in the side room before came in. He was slightly hunched, holding a wine jar in his hand, and stood still by the table. Chen Nianyin followed behind him, holding a wine jar in his hand as well. He smiled apologetically at the two of them: "I'm sorry for the delay, I hope the guests don't take offense."

The old man carefully placed the wine jar on the table, then raised his eyes, and said slowly: "I heard from Nian Yin, the guests think that the Luo Fuchun in our wine shop is not strong enough?"

Jiang Ning smiled and said: "No, Luo Fuchun is already very good, but I want to try a stronger wine."

The old man touched the jar under his hand, glanced at him, and said slowly: "Although our winery is small, there is nothing else, but there is still enough wine, and there is no shortage of stronger wine," he said, turning his head Turning his face, he gestured to Chen Nianyin behind him: "Nianyin, come, pour the wine for the guests."

Chen Nianyin complied, put down the wine jar in his hand, took what the old man handed over, placed a bowl, and lifted the mud from the mouth of the jar.

For a while, the aroma of the wine overflowed, and as the wine gurgled out, the old man said slowly: "This wine is called Drunken Eight Immortals, and its original name is Fresh Wine. of."

Chen Nianyin whispered: "Please."

Jiang Ning picked up the bowl, and in the white porcelain bowl, the light red liquor swayed slightly. .

Seeing this, the old man's face changed slightly, and he signaled Chen Nianyin to change to another jar of wine, saying: "Good wine making, the traditional wine of the previous dynasty, but now the skills have been lost, the guest will try again."

Jiang Ning thanked him, picked up the wine and drank it down, hesitating for a moment, not waiting for him to speak, the old man knew the result by looking at his expression, and said with a little surprise: "The strength of these two wines is already considered to be superior. Have you ever drank anything stronger than that?"

Jiang Ning replied calmly: "I have indeed drank it, and five taels of wine can be intoxicating."

Hearing this, the old man was shocked, and then he said angrily: "Is the guest just kidding? We have been drunk and brewed wine for so many years, and we have never heard of such a strong wine in the world! Just be honest, why bother to play with you?" My door?"

Jiang Ning cupped his hands and said: "Old man, calm down, everything I said is true. It is precisely because I have tasted such a strong wine that I feel that the taste of these wines is bland. Maybe everyone has different tastes."

Hearing what he said, the old man managed to calm down, waved his hands again, and said, "Forget it, forget it, what am I arguing with you about?"

As he said, he stopped talking to Jiang Ning, turned around and went out.

Chen Nianyin smiled apologetically and said: "My grandfather has such a personality, please don't mind the guests." He said, and said: "However, we have never heard of the wine that the guest mentioned. I don't know where the guest drank it. of?"

Jiang Ning thought for a while, and could only say, "It was given to me by a tourist I met on the road when I was a businessman a few years ago."

Hearing this, Chen Nianyin couldn't help being fascinated, and said with a smile, "I don't know what it's like to drink five taels of intoxicating wine? If you can taste it in your lifetime, you won't regret it."

Jiang Ning thought for a while, and promised: "If one day I get this kind of wine, I will give it to you as a gift."

Chen Nianyin waved his hands and said with a smile: "Our winery will be sold in a few days, I'm afraid that customers will not be able to find me by then."

Hearing this, Jiang Ning immediately understood the reason. The distillery only makes wine, not sells it, and it has lasted for so many years, and brewing wine requires a lot of financial resources. After this, the distillery can last until now, I am afraid it will be empty Lao Di.

So Jiang Ning said: "Has your winery been sold out now?"

Chen Nianyin shook his head and said, "Not yet, but it's just a matter of time."

Jiang Ning pondered in his mind for a moment and asked, "Since it hasn't been sold yet, I wonder if you can sell it to me?"

Ding Yu on the side asked in surprise: "Shopkeeper, you want to buy this winery?"

Chen Nianyin was also very surprised. After thinking about it, he said uncertainly, "Yes, but, do you really want to buy it?"

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Yes, if I bought the winery, would you still be willing to make wine here?"

Hearing this, Chen Nianyin hesitated a little, Jiang Ning saw his expression, and said softly: "Don't worry, you only need to make wine every day, and the wages will naturally not be short of you."

Chen Nianyin's tone was a bit embarrassed, and he said: "But the ancestors have taught us that the wine we brew at home cannot be sold outside."

Jiang Ning smiled and said to him: "You can think of it this way. I will pay you to make wine for me. This wine is naturally mine. It does not conflict with your ancestral precepts. You can continue to make wine and make a living based on it. , why not do it? You have the unique skills in brewing wine, but because of the pressure of life, you can no longer brew fine wine, isn't it a great pity in life?"

Seeing that Chen Nianyin was still hesitant, he continued to increase the weight, and said, "I have a method here, which can brew the kind of extremely strong wine I mentioned. I wonder if you are interested?"

After hearing this, Chen Nianyin's eyes lit up immediately, and his tone was a little eager: "Is this really true?"

Jiang Ning nodded with a smile, Chen Nianyin suppressed the excitement in his heart, thought for a while, and said, "I need to discuss it with Grandpa."

Jiang Ning smiled and nodded: "Naturally."

Chen Nianyin said: "Then please wait a moment, I will come as soon as I go."

After he finished speaking, he went out, and Ding Yu who was at the side immediately asked eagerly: "Shopkeeper, do you really know that method of brewing wine?"

Jiang Ning pondered for a moment, and then replied: "I only know a general process, and the detailed method needs to be carefully considered."

Ding Yu's eyes lit up immediately, and he said: "The wine making skills have been passed down from ancient times to the present, and I have never heard of such a strong wine being made." Really, I don’t know if I can…”

Jiang Ning naturally knew what he meant, so he just smiled and said, "If you work hard, you might have a chance."

Hearing this, Ding Yu immediately patted his chest and vowed: "Please rest assured, shopkeeper, I will definitely do a good job."

While the two were talking, Chen Nianyin came in from the door. With a smile on his face, he said to Jiang Ning: "My grandfather agreed." At this point, he hesitated a little: "But there is a small request .”

Jiang Ning said, "But it's okay to say."

Chen Nianyin said: "If there is wine we don't want to brew, please don't force it on us."

Jiang Ning was a little surprised, and asked, "What is the wine that you don't want to brew?"

Chen Nianyin replied: "For example, adding water to the wine and cutting corners, we would never do such things, please forgive me."

Jiang Ning suddenly smiled: "So that's the case, this is natural, you can rest assured."

Only then did Chen Nianyin feel relieved, and said with a smile: "Then the matter is settled."

The two talked for a while about the price of the winery. After finalizing, Jiang Ning sold the winery at a price of 80 taels of silver. Chen Nianyin took the deed of the house and the land. Since then, the winery has been under the name of Jiang Ning and has been renamed Yu Nian Winery.

From the beginning to the end of the winery business, Old Man Chen never appeared again, as if he didn't hear anything outside the window, the sound of gurgling water still came from the ear room, unhurriedly, Chen Nianyin looked at the small courtyard of the winery, He sighed and said, "Unexpectedly..."

When he said this, he didn't go on, just shook his head helplessly. Their family has been making wine for generations, and it seems that they have an almost morbid obsession with wine making in their bones. Relying on other jobs to maintain, and saving a few months' wages, I dared to brew wine once. If my father was alive, the winery could barely support it, but now there are only two of them left, and the winery is closed. It's just a matter of time.

Jiang Ning looked at the sky and said to him: "It's getting late, we will discuss the wine making in detail tomorrow."

Chen Nianyin naturally agreed.

Jiang Ning took Ding Yu out of the winery, Ding Yu clicked his tongue, and after a while, he bought a winery, the shopkeeper is really brave.

Jiang Ning said to Ding Yu: "Go and tell Shitou that in the past few days, the wine in the restaurant has been temporarily purchased from Zhaoji Winery."

Ding Yu quickly complied, and the two went to the restaurant.

Early the next morning, after Jiang Ning arranged all the affairs in the restaurant, he went to Yu Nian Winery in the north of the city alone. As soon as he entered the yard, Old Man Chen was slowly drying the linen. Say hello.

Jiang Ning returned the gift, and Chen Nianyin's voice came from the room: "Grandpa, I have taken out all these 30-year-old Xinfeng wines, let's take them away together later."

Old Man Chen hummed, put the linen cloth in his hand on the bamboo pole, slowly pulled it apart, and said, "Take them all away."

After a while, Chen Nianyin came out from the door, saw Jiang Ning, after being stunned, he smiled and said, "The shopkeeper came so early."
