seven relics
Chapter 27
Lian Jiangyue picked up the wine cup and asked, "What else do you know about Lian Wu Hate? I will do what I say. If you tell me something that I find interesting or useful, I will definitely give it a try." A heavy reward." He also said, "Don't worry, my criteria for judging are very loose, but you must not make up stories or lie to me."
After speaking, he sniffed the wine in the glass.The aroma of this Vientiane wine is not strong, you need to pick up the wine cup to smell it, the burnt aroma of wheat grains is mixed with the delicate fragrance of lily, magnolia, jasmine, gardenia and some white flowers, and smelling again, he smelled some vanilla, The aroma of some Chinese herbal medicines such as orange peel and musk, and the aroma of crops in the aftertaste - but it is longer and fuller than the aroma of wheat, which seems to be rice aroma.
The liquor is light amber in color.
After Lian Jiangyue finished speaking, Bao Zhimei was speechless. She looked at him carefully and clenched her fingers, as if she had a lot to say to him, but she didn't know how to say it.Lian Jiangyue decided to give her some time to organize her words, so she took a sip of wine.
At this time, Bao Zhimei held her hands, as if she had finally made up her mind, her hesitant eyes suddenly became firm, she looked at Lian Jiangyue, and said: "Let me tell you frankly, all I know about Lianwu hate is in There is such a jar of wine for him in our wine cellar. I was really desperate just now, so I thought of calling you. I really didn’t expect you to come and you would help me. Actually, I didn’t hold anything hopefully……"
The more Bao Zhimei said, the lower her voice became, and she became a little hesitant, because she found that since Lian Jiangyue took that sip of wine, she seemed to have lost her soul, as if she had been drunk, and her pair of shining eyes suddenly disappeared. She went dark and sat there without saying a word, not sure if she heard what she said.Bao Zhimei picked up the glass wine bottle and looked at it, wondering: "Is there something wrong with this wine? I finally snatched such a bottle from Bao Renhui, and he took all the others to water. As a result, the factory couldn't last for a few years, and now it can only wholesale other people's..."
When Bao Zhimei said this, Lian Jiangyue raised her hand, the brilliance in her eyes returned, and the corners of her mouth raised, revealing a pleasant smile like a spring breeze. He looked at the wine cup in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh : "Good wine!"
It turned out that the sip of wine just now made Lian Jiangyue, a good wine drinker who has tasted countless wines, speechless.He said: "It smells like an ordinary mixed fragrance, but it tastes really different, the entrance is smooth, and the aroma of wheat is prominent, like standing in a harvested wheat field, the sun shines on the golden ears of wheat, the wheat The unique refreshing and crisp aroma has been preserved. In China, wheat is mostly used to brew beer, and wheat is used to brew distilled wine. It is basically used to make koji. When wheat is added to wine, the bitterness of the skin is too strong, but you This Vientiane wine... how should I put it, it is more like whiskey, Scotch whiskey often uses barley, and whiskey is brewed in North America with wheat, is the wheat used for brewing local wheat?"
Bao Zhimei listened to Lian Jiangyue's thorough analysis of such a long list, and said in surprise: "Do you know how to make wine?"
Lian Jiangyue put the wine in her hand on the table, bent down, stretched her neck to look at the wine in the glass, and said, "It's light yellow, doesn't it also look like whiskey? Whiskey barrels are enough for one year Yes, the longer you put it, the more intense the color will be. This light amber color is almost 20 years old, but your wine must be more than [-] years old. It takes [-] years for the fragrance of flowers and fruits in it to have such a taste. "
Bao Zhimei also bent down and stretched her neck to look at the glass of wine: "Isn't rice wine also yellow?"
Lian Jiangyue laughed loudly, and looked at her: "How can rice wine taste like this, have you never drank it?"
Bao Zhimei said softly, "I'm allergic to alcohol..."
Lian Jiangyue fanned the wind with her hand, motioned her to smell it, and said: "I smelled this wine earlier and thought it was medicinal wine. In China, this kind of wine is called dew wine, which is based on white wine or yellow rice wine, with some food or Chinese herbal medicine added. It is blended, and the most famous foreign wine is gin, but after drinking it, I realized that I was wrong. This is original brewed, distilled wheat burnt. If you smell it again, can you still smell some wood? The smell, it's not the smell of oak, it's very similar to..." Lian Jiangyue touched the desk, "It's very similar to the smell of your desk!"
Bao Zhimei's face was almost pressed against the table, she sniffed hard, and said, "It seems a bit similar when you say it this way."
"Is this made of your local wood?"
"Liuhuamu is only available in Minshi. It is said that its taste can repel insects. The older generation still thinks it can ward off evil spirits. We use Liuhuamu for the statues of Fuxi Temple here, and some unscrupulous merchants use fake Liuhuamu. The wood is soaked in toilet water, in order to confuse buyers with that fragrance."
Lian Jiangyue said: "The fragrance of flowers in the wine is probably inherited from this Liuhuamu, but..."
"but?"
"This wine smells like grains when you taste it, and it smells like flowers when you taste it. The aftertaste is sweet and full, and it does taste like rice wine. It has a long finish and is soft. Only glutinous rice wine can have such a taste." Lian Jiangyue said As he spoke, his heart was agitated, and he took another sip. This third sip, the taste was still so good. He said with emotion: "The layers are distinct, the mellow and delicate, I have never drunk such a wine, the fragrance of grains, the fragrance of flowers , all the aromas of the plants are fused together, but they will not be noisy, the fusion is so harmonious, so natural, it can be said to be amazing!"
Bao Zhimei grabbed her hair, looked at Lian Jiangyue and said: "You know so much about wine, you can't be a wine maker, right?"
Lian Jiangyue couldn't stop drinking this Vientiane wine, she took two more sips one after another, and after finishing one cup, he said: "I usually like to drink two cups."
Bao Zhimei was about to add more wine to him, and said, "You have tasted so much from one glass of wine, you don't just like to drink two glasses, do you?"
Lian Jiangyue quickly refused, saying: "Although this wine is good, but the alcohol content should be high, this wine is easy to get drunk..."
Having said that, when he looked at the half bottle of yellow soup in the glass wine bottle, he was very greedy, but he was afraid that he would miss the appointment with Qian Baisui because of drunkenness, so he simply stopped looking at it, got up and said: "There is still food outside." Someone is waiting for me."
Bao Zhimei said: "Wait! Are you leaving now? Three days later..."
Lian Jiangyue said: "Although the only thing you know about pity and my hatred is that he has a jar of wine here, but this wine is really good. I see that the most expensive wine in your store sells for more than 3000. This wine is definitely more than that." At this price, I drank a glass of yours just now. How about it? After three days, I will go to find that Hong Hong and give her another three thousand. It will be considered that I bought your glass of wine. But your trophy will be used to exchange That wooden sign."
Bao Zhimei said: "Wait a minute! Since you know wine so well, I'll give you another taste!"
When Lian Jiangyue heard that there was a better wine than that glass of Vientiane wine, she was curious and looking forward to it, and stood at the door unable to move.Bao Zhimei excitedly took out a small porcelain bottle from behind the roller blind. The mouth of the bottle was sealed with yellow mud, and some mud could be seen on the body of the bottle.Bao Zhimei found a pair of scissors from the drawer, and tapped on the yellow mud seal.The mud shattered, and a sulfurous smell hit the face.
Lian Jiangyue frowned: "You pickled rotten eggs?"
Bao Zhimei pinched her nose and said, "Doesn't stinky tofu just smell bad and taste good?"
She wiped away the yellow mud from the mouth of the porcelain bottle and poured a glass of wine into the wine cup. The liquid was cloudy and the color was close to that of aged rice wine.The smell of sulfur became stronger. Bao Zhimei picked up the wine glass and handed it to Lian Jiangyue: "Try it."
Lian Jiangyue took a sip, it was bitter in the mouth, bitter when tasted, only bitter in the aftertaste, it can be said to be unspeakably bitter, hard to swallow.
But Bao Zhimei looked at him expectantly, pity Jiang Yueqiang to swallow the bitter wine, and asked, "What is this?"
"Wheat burning!"
"You made it?"
"Yes, how is it? Although it doesn't smell very good, does it taste like Vientiane wine?"
Lian Jiangyue really wanted to say some comforting words, but she couldn't go against her heart, so she told the truth: "It's too bitter, it's too bad to drink."
Bao Zhimei was angry for a while, and she was about to get angry when she stared at Lian Jiangyue, but when she opened her mouth, she coughed due to the smell in the porcelain bottle, blinked her eyes, sat down holding the porcelain bottle, and said quietly: "You are so easy Believe in people, and always tell the truth, Lian Jiangyue, you will suffer in this society, you will suffer."
Lian Jiangyue sighed, and said: "Although your father is gone, your mother is demented and can't remember the secret recipe, but you can ask the old craftsmen in the winery, maybe they remember something .”
Bao Zhimei said: "Shangguan Yuzhan is not my mother, my mother died of illness very early."
She also said: "Sister Qiu, she is the one who sells wine in the store. You have seen it just now, and you have asked those old masters about it. All I know is that the raw materials are wheat from the Mingshi City, glutinous rice from Taihu Lake, and they need to be soaked. Roasting or steaming, as for the heat, temperature, and fermentation time, they can't tell, it's all under my father's control."
"Did he leave no notes, notes or anything like that?"
"My dad did have a notebook, which he always carried with him, but he died in a car accident, and he was burnt badly, so he didn't keep the notebook. After he passed away, Shangguan Yuzhan was in charge, and I didn't either. Find a record of some secret recipe in her stuff."
Lian Jiangyue said again: "Then why don't you talk to your brother again, after all, this is your family's signature, your parents' hard work, your blood is thicker than water..."
Bao Zhimei sneered: "I came here because I couldn't get along with him," she clenched her fists, and said angrily, "I also made a poisonous oath that I will definitely brew Vientiane wine, and I must Make him look at me with admiration!" But after finishing speaking, she lowered her eyes again in frustration, and put the porcelain bottle in her arms on the table forcefully, "I researched on the Internet, looked up information, borrowed money to buy raw materials, and finally made it Such a thing..."
Lian Jiangyue asked: "Do you have any impressions of the winery? It's hot? How hot? Humid? How humid? Or what the workers are busy with, do you have the deepest impression?"
Bao Zhimei shook her head and said: "When I was a child, I made wine in the winery in the backyard of the old house. The place was too hot, and I didn't like to go there. Later, a factory was built, and I didn't go there either."
"Then where is your bottle of wine made?"
Bao Zhimei took him to the window and pointed down. Outside the window was a backyard.There are some bamboo mats, steamers, wooden buckets, wooden spoons, and shovels in the yard. There is a shallow pit on the ground, and some grain bags are piled up in the corner of the yard.
"That retort cost me a lot of money." Bao Zhimei said, "It was still collected from a bankrupt winery, and it was said to be used for brewing old wine."
Lian Jiangyue felt strange: "Why don't you go to the winery to brew, the utensils there should be more complete." He said: "The sulfur smell in your wine should be because you didn't use copper to distill it, and copper can remove the sulfur smell. "
Bao Zhimei said: "The winery is Bao Renhui's territory, I won't go."
"If you want to brew the taste of Vientiane wine, it's impossible with these utensils in your backyard." Lian Jiangyue said, "A man can bend and stretch."
Bao Zhimei turned her head and walked away: "I'm an old woman! I can't bend, I can't stretch! The winery is actually a blending place, and I haven't brewed wine there once after it was built!"
She said in a low voice: "The winery is under Bao Renhui's name."
Lian Jiangyue said: "No wonder you said it's his territory, what about this store?"
"It's shared by our brothers and sisters!" She continued angrily: "Although Wanxiang Wine is called Wanxiang Wine, the recipe is made by Shangguan Yuzhan! Bao Renhui just didn't like her, so he wanted to give this signboard to her." Damn it, he's avenging himself!"
Lian Jiangyue thought for a while: "The old house and wine shop you mentioned just now, are they also under the name of Bao Renhui?"
Bao Zhimei said: "I don't know, and I don't have the key there either."
"Then the newspaper said that the Japanese would buy it. Has the contract been signed? Has the date been set?"
"I don't know." Bao Zhimei looked up at Lian Jiangyue, and said: "My current situation is that I want to make wine, but I can't find the right way. There are still people chasing debts, and there is a vicious big brother who wants to force me to sign and sell the shop. Let him live in a bigger house."
She thought about it and said, "How about this, if you give me 12 yuan, even if you invest in Vientiane Chateau, we will brew wine together and revitalize Vientiane Chateau later, I will give you a share, the lending company knows that someone invested in us, Maybe he will let me go."
Lian Jiangyue shook her head and said: "If I really do this, then I will really be a charity. It's a pity that Vientiane Wine is gone, but wine making is a technical job that relies on experience, and it also has great requirements for the venue. I You haven’t done it before, and you don’t seem to be very good at it. It takes time to make wine, and it can’t be produced in ten days and half a month. The fastest rice wine takes a month, whiskey takes a year, and rice wine is the best in ten years. You If you really want to find someone to invest, how can 12 be enough?"
Bao Zhimei listened with a gray face, suddenly slapped her forehead, and said: "I remember, Shangguan Yuzhan has a letter to Lianwuhan, where did I put it? I have to look for it! I will definitely give it to you find out!"
Lian Jiangyue raised her eyebrows: "Don't lie to me."
"I won't lie to you! And I can take you to see her, maybe she will remember something!" She stared at Lian Jiangyue closely, "Then you don't need to pay, just ask you to make wine for me once, just Once, you don't have to stay here for a long time, the wine is sealed and stored in the cellar, and you go! You don't need to deal with debt collection, I will find a way to solve it myself, and you will help me make wine!" She blinked, her eye circles turned red, "You don't want Wanxiang Wine to be lost, do you?"
Lian Jiangyue said: "Even if I help you, we may not be able to brew that taste."
"Just try! Just this once!"
Lian Jiangyue still had the aftertaste of Vientiane wine in her mouth, thinking that Bao Zhimei's parents had died, she had turned against her blood relatives, and her life experience was pitiful, and it would be a pity if such fine wine as Vientiane wine was lost, he felt a little soft-hearted.Thinking about it again, although he is a layman and has never done wine making, but he came down the mountain to travel the world, isn't it just to experience something that he has never experienced before?Wouldn't it be great, happy, if some good wine and fine wine were really brewed?Lian Jiangyue couldn't help being a little excited, so she nodded: "Just try it."
"Really?"
"real."
Bao Zhimei grabbed his hand excitedly: "Are you here to save my Yamazaki?"
Lian Jiangyue was at a loss and didn't know what she was talking about, so she saw Bao Zhimei's eyes glowing, pulled him to the door, and said, "Let's go to the old house in Baojia Village now! Go over the wall and go in!" But when she opened the door, she hesitated, and said vaguely: "It's better to wait until it gets darker, because it's too eye-catching to climb over the wall during the day."
She looked at Lian Jiangyue and said, "Go to Shangguan Yuzhan first to inquire about Lian Wuhan."
"Didn't you take me there?"
Bao Zhimei straightened her face and said, "Oh, don't worry about it, you can find her at the Horse Neck Lake Nursing Home." She pushed him out the door.
Lian Jiangyue returned to the business hall of Vientiane Winery in a daze, there was no customer in the store, sister Qiu was cleaning the glass counter, the boy who played games was still playing games, and so was Qian Baisui.When Lian Jiangyue saw this old gentleman, she felt sorry for a while, walked over and apologized to him: "I'm so sorry, old Mr. Qian, I'm afraid we can't compare today, I have to find someone, and I have to go to make a package later. Jiacun, how about this, let’s make an appointment at a time and place, and I promise to attend.”
Qian Baisui said: "What are you doing in Baojia Village?"
Lian Jiangyue scratched the tip of her nose, and said: "I was also ordered to go to Baojia Village to help people make wine when I was in danger."
"Are you the master brewer?"
"No."
"Then you are the sommelier?"
"Not at all."
"Have you ever stepped on koji, shaved offal, boiled corn, steamed rice, sealed cellars, and paired wine in the winery?"
"Neither."
"No matter how bad it is, you used to be a doctor of wine? Or opened some kind of bar."
"I haven't done any of these things."
"Does the person who asked you for help know this?"
Lian Jiangyue nodded.
Qian Baisui clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "The person who came to see you rushed to the doctor in a hurry!"
Lian Jiangyue also laughed, and Qian Baisui asked again: "Then you still agreed to others? He rushed to the doctor in a hurry, and you are a dead horse as a living horse doctor?"
At this moment, Lian Jiangyue came back with some aftertaste: "I was impulsive." He smiled, "But, who said that a dead horse doctor can't live?"
He smiled and looked at his right hand: "A broken arm can be reborn, and a dead horse might be able to bounce back alive. Old man, where there is a will, there is a way."
Qian Baisui laughed after hearing the words, pointed out and said, "Let's go."
"Let's go? You're with me?" This was completely unexpected for Lian Jiangyue, and he said, "Don't worry, if we make an appointment, I will definitely show up."
Qian Baisui said: "Old man, I don't drink at all, but I'm familiar with Baojia Village. Every family there used to make wine, and they were all relatives with the same surname from Hunan. When I was young, I did some wheat turning and mixing. The work of the koji, little brother, do you think I can help that dead horse?"
Unexpectedly, this old man was still a warm-hearted man, Lian Jiangyue beamed with joy, and walked out with Qian Baisui, saying: "Now let's find Shangguan Yuzhan and ask about something."
Qian Baisui nodded and said, "Okay, Shangguan Yuzhan, I saw her a few times when I was young, but I haven't seen her for decades, so I knew she was ill, so I went to see her too."
When I got outside the gate of the winery, I heard sister Qiu shouting: "Xiaoqiu, where are you going?"
When the two turned their heads, they saw the boy playing games following them, and sister Qiu hurriedly came out from the counter.The boy handed her the phone to look at. Sister Qiu looked at the screen of the phone, knelt down and helped him arrange his clothes, looked up at Lian Jiangyue, and said with a smile, "I heard that you are going to see Grandma Shangguan." , also go."
Lian Jiangyue asked: "Today is Wednesday, isn't he going to school?"
Sister Qiu was still smiling, the thick powder on her face showed cracks, she said: "I don't feel well, I'm asking for leave."
Lian Jiangyue looked at Xiaoqiu with a ruddy complexion, as if she was sick.At this time, Qian Baisui patted Xiaoqiu on the head and said, "Then let's go together, it will be more lively if there are more people."
Lian Jiangyue nodded, and exchanged mobile phone numbers with Sister Qiu to make it easier to contact, so she took a taxi with the old man and the little baby to the Ma Neck Lake Nursing Home.
Along the way, Xiao Qiu still held on to his phone, Lian Jiangyue secretly glanced at it, Xiao Qiu was playing an rpg game with a story and a plot, and he was very involved in the game.
When they arrived at the nursing home, they applied to visit Shangguan Yuzhan at the nursing station. A nurse inside saw Xiaoqiu and said, "Xiaoqiu, here we go again." She took them to the reception room on the first floor.
From the reception room there was a view of a lake glistening with silver, which must have been Horseneck Lake.On the other side of the lake are continuous sand hills.
After entering the reception room, Xiao Qiu went straight to a white-haired old woman sitting in a wheelchair.Qian Baisui looked at it, and said thoughtfully, "Shangguan Yuzhan should be younger than me."
Lian Jiangyue looked at the old woman. Her hair was so dry, so white, and the hair was very thin. Her hands and feet were curled up, her head was tilted, and she seemed to be curled up in a wheelchair.
The TV above the old woman's head was showing the afternoon news.A mysterious underground palace was dug out in a Beijing Hutong, and hundreds of treasures were rediscovered.The rest of the old people in the reception room were either watching TV, cracking sunflower seeds, or just sitting in the sun.Everyone's eyes didn't seem to wake up.
Xiaoqiu sat down beside the old woman, leaning against the French windows, her black hair shining.The old woman reached out and stroked his hair gently.
Lian Jiangyue and Qian Baisui went up to say hello to her.
"Shangguan Yuzhan?" Lian Jiangyue called out to her.The old woman didn't respond to the name at all, Qian Baisui picked up the ID card hanging on the old woman's wheelchair and said, "It's Shangguan Yuzhan, that's right."
Her face was only the size of a palm, her eyes were big, wrinkles circled around her eyes, and her lips were dry and cracked.Her mouth is also small and her nose bridge is high.Must have been a beautiful woman when she was young.
Lian Jiangyue squatted down and asked: "Excuse me, do you know a person named Lian Wuchen? You still have the Vientiane wine left for him in your wine cellar."
"Vientiane Wine," Shangguan Yuzhan laughed, "It means all-encompassing wine."
Qian Baisui asked Lian Jiangyue: "Do you have a picture of Lian Wuhan, show her."
Lian Jiangyue shook her head.
"Then what does he look like? Tell her about it. You have the same surname, so you are relatives, so you should look a little like him?"
Lian Jiangyue thought for a while, he only remembered how Lian Wu hated to die, he was no different from any old man here, time took out his skin, leaving him shriveled and withered.
At this time, Shangguan Yuzhan touched Lian Jiangyue's right hand and said, "Go find a well without water, a tree without roots, a flower without stamens, and a burning moon...the sun rising in the west ...you go find..."
Lian Jiangyue wondered: "Lian Wuchen also said the same thing, is this the secret recipe of Wanxiang wine?"
Qian Baisui said in a deep voice: "A well without water, a tree without roots, these are impossible things to exist."
He looked at Shangguan Yuzhan, pointed at himself and said, "Thousands of years old, do you remember? I saw it in Baojia Village, 1980, in [-], at the Fuxi Festival in Baojia Village."
Shangguan Yuzhan was silent again, no matter who called her again, or said something to her, she seemed to be asleep with her eyes open, and she didn't respond at all.
After sitting with him for a long time, Lian Jiangyue and his party came out of the nursing home when they couldn't find anything.It was noon, and Lian Jiangyue didn't have breakfast. After running around, she was already so hungry that her chest was on her back, so she found a restaurant nearby to eat.There is a seller of loose rice in the shop, Qian Baisui is the master, he ordered three bowls of loose rice, and he mixed a bowl for Lian Jiangyue, and Lian Jiangyue ate half a bowl in one go, nodding repeatedly.Qian Baisui looked at him with a smile and ate slowly.Xiao Qiu also ate some, but he still didn't speak, and glanced at Lian Jiangyue's hair from time to time, and glanced at a brochure for nursing homes stuck in the pocket of Qian Baisui's jacket.
When they returned to Vientiane Winery, it was almost dark. Sister Qiu was wearing heavy makeup, wearing a flag dress, and took the ball away on a bicycle.Lian Jiangyue and Qianbaisui entered the office to find Bao Zhimei. Seeing Qianbaisui, Bao Zhimei raised her shoulders and leaned against the wall and asked, "Who is this? Your grandfather?"
Qian Baisui touched his cheek with a smile, and said: "My grandson is only in elementary school, and I'm just a nosy person, little girl, Old Chaihuo looks so old, alas, whatever, I will treat you well." Please teach me the secret of maintenance, I think you have just graduated from university, right?"
Seeing that Qianbaisui had a pleasant smile and what he said was quite flattering, Bao Zhimei also laughed out relaxedly.Lian Jiangyue said, "Then let's go."
Bao Zhimei waved her hand and said, "Wait a little longer."
If she didn't leave, Lian Jiangyue and Qianbaisui had no choice but to wait.Thousands of years are "as long as you come, you will be safe", sitting and dozing.Lian Jiangyue chatted with Fengxu Weiwei, Zhang Yuanshou surrendered himself to the Public Security Bureau, Fengxuwei was rehearsing a new play for a group of new actors, and was very busy.He sent a long voice to Lian Jiangyue, Lian Jiangyue was about to listen, Bao Zhimei patted him: "Go!"
At this time, the sky was getting darker again, and they came out of Vientiane Winery and took a ride to Baojia Village.
It took more than an hour to arrive at Baojia Village, and the taxi driver asked them: "Are you going back to the city? Waiting for you?"
Bao Zhimei huddled in a corner of the car, pushed Lian Jiangyue beside her, and whispered, "Let him park the car here and wait for us."
"It's here?"
"Climb over the wall and let him see what to do!"
"Then why don't you say it?"
"If you tell me, just say it!"
So they got out of the car in front of a Populus euphratica grove. Bao Zhimei led the way in the dark. On the wall, Bao Zhimei was grabbed, grabbed her against the wall, and turned into the yard with her.Lian Jiangyue wanted to turn in too, when she heard someone screaming behind the wall, Qian Baisui grabbed Bao Zhimei and turned back out again.
"It was a mistake." Bao Zhimei said with a dry smile.
After going through three wrong yards in succession, he finally turned into a yard with no lights or people. There was a well in the yard.Bao Zhimei pointed at it and said, "This is it!"
Qian Baisui and Lian Jiangyue said: "I think you are not a dead horse, but a blind horse."
Lian Jiangyue smiled.Bao Zhimei pointed to a rolling gate in the yard again, and said, "This is the winery where my dad used to make wine."
There was a big lock on the door, and Bao Zhimei looked left and right, muttering: "Where is the stone? Why is there no stone?"
Taking advantage of her inattention, Qian Baisui broke the lock and rolled up the shutter door.
The winery was very dark, with a sour smell.Bao Zhimei turned on the flashlight of her mobile phone, took a photo, stomped her feet and yelled: "Bao Renhui!!"
Lian Jiangyue also took out her mobile phone flashlight, and under the two strong lights, she could see everything in the winery at a glance.Except for a whole stone trough sunken into the ground and a huge kang bed, the winery is empty.
Bao Zhimei grabbed the phone and roared: "Answer the phone! Bao Renhui, answer the phone!!"
Qian Baisui hid outside, and Lian Jiangyue didn't dare to approach her, just watched her walking around, waving one hand in the air, and the phone seemed to be connected.Panting heavily, she crackled like lit firecrackers.
"You shameless brat, wait for me, you wait! I'm here, I'm coming now!"
"No, no, come here! If you have the guts, come here, you coward!"
She rushed into the wine shop and ran around, pitying Jiangyue several times, thinking that she was going to hit the wall.
Bao Zhimei asked Bao Renhui almost hoarsely: "Where are those old songs? You threw them away too? How could you do this!"
"how could you do this!"
"how could you do this……"
Bao Zhimei was so short of breath and hoarse, she walked two more circles around the winery, threw her phone on the ground, and sat down, her words were full of frustration that could not be concealed: "There is nothing... ...He's dealt with it all... gone..."
Lian Jiangyue went over to look at the stone trough, reached out to grab some air, touched it, and comforted her: "It's a good thing that the old winery is still there. The air here will be very beneficial to the microorganisms that are beneficial to grain fermentation."
Looking at the decadent and lost Bao Zhimei, looking at this empty wine shop, has strengthened Lian Jiangyue's determination to help her.He helped her up and said: "You and Mr. Qian are packing up your place here now, and you won't be going back in the city for the time being. I'll go back to the hotel to pack up and check out early. Bring those ingredients from the backyard."
Bao Zhimei nodded.Lian Jiangyue gave Qian Baisui a few words, please take care of Bao Zhimei carefully, and took a ride back to the downtown area of Minshi.
Back at Xinmin Hotel, Lian Jiangyue saw He Xiaoshu sitting on the sofa in the lobby.
He Xiaoshu also saw him, got up and said first: "Take a step to talk."
After speaking, he sniffed the wine in the glass.The aroma of this Vientiane wine is not strong, you need to pick up the wine cup to smell it, the burnt aroma of wheat grains is mixed with the delicate fragrance of lily, magnolia, jasmine, gardenia and some white flowers, and smelling again, he smelled some vanilla, The aroma of some Chinese herbal medicines such as orange peel and musk, and the aroma of crops in the aftertaste - but it is longer and fuller than the aroma of wheat, which seems to be rice aroma.
The liquor is light amber in color.
After Lian Jiangyue finished speaking, Bao Zhimei was speechless. She looked at him carefully and clenched her fingers, as if she had a lot to say to him, but she didn't know how to say it.Lian Jiangyue decided to give her some time to organize her words, so she took a sip of wine.
At this time, Bao Zhimei held her hands, as if she had finally made up her mind, her hesitant eyes suddenly became firm, she looked at Lian Jiangyue, and said: "Let me tell you frankly, all I know about Lianwu hate is in There is such a jar of wine for him in our wine cellar. I was really desperate just now, so I thought of calling you. I really didn’t expect you to come and you would help me. Actually, I didn’t hold anything hopefully……"
The more Bao Zhimei said, the lower her voice became, and she became a little hesitant, because she found that since Lian Jiangyue took that sip of wine, she seemed to have lost her soul, as if she had been drunk, and her pair of shining eyes suddenly disappeared. She went dark and sat there without saying a word, not sure if she heard what she said.Bao Zhimei picked up the glass wine bottle and looked at it, wondering: "Is there something wrong with this wine? I finally snatched such a bottle from Bao Renhui, and he took all the others to water. As a result, the factory couldn't last for a few years, and now it can only wholesale other people's..."
When Bao Zhimei said this, Lian Jiangyue raised her hand, the brilliance in her eyes returned, and the corners of her mouth raised, revealing a pleasant smile like a spring breeze. He looked at the wine cup in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh : "Good wine!"
It turned out that the sip of wine just now made Lian Jiangyue, a good wine drinker who has tasted countless wines, speechless.He said: "It smells like an ordinary mixed fragrance, but it tastes really different, the entrance is smooth, and the aroma of wheat is prominent, like standing in a harvested wheat field, the sun shines on the golden ears of wheat, the wheat The unique refreshing and crisp aroma has been preserved. In China, wheat is mostly used to brew beer, and wheat is used to brew distilled wine. It is basically used to make koji. When wheat is added to wine, the bitterness of the skin is too strong, but you This Vientiane wine... how should I put it, it is more like whiskey, Scotch whiskey often uses barley, and whiskey is brewed in North America with wheat, is the wheat used for brewing local wheat?"
Bao Zhimei listened to Lian Jiangyue's thorough analysis of such a long list, and said in surprise: "Do you know how to make wine?"
Lian Jiangyue put the wine in her hand on the table, bent down, stretched her neck to look at the wine in the glass, and said, "It's light yellow, doesn't it also look like whiskey? Whiskey barrels are enough for one year Yes, the longer you put it, the more intense the color will be. This light amber color is almost 20 years old, but your wine must be more than [-] years old. It takes [-] years for the fragrance of flowers and fruits in it to have such a taste. "
Bao Zhimei also bent down and stretched her neck to look at the glass of wine: "Isn't rice wine also yellow?"
Lian Jiangyue laughed loudly, and looked at her: "How can rice wine taste like this, have you never drank it?"
Bao Zhimei said softly, "I'm allergic to alcohol..."
Lian Jiangyue fanned the wind with her hand, motioned her to smell it, and said: "I smelled this wine earlier and thought it was medicinal wine. In China, this kind of wine is called dew wine, which is based on white wine or yellow rice wine, with some food or Chinese herbal medicine added. It is blended, and the most famous foreign wine is gin, but after drinking it, I realized that I was wrong. This is original brewed, distilled wheat burnt. If you smell it again, can you still smell some wood? The smell, it's not the smell of oak, it's very similar to..." Lian Jiangyue touched the desk, "It's very similar to the smell of your desk!"
Bao Zhimei's face was almost pressed against the table, she sniffed hard, and said, "It seems a bit similar when you say it this way."
"Is this made of your local wood?"
"Liuhuamu is only available in Minshi. It is said that its taste can repel insects. The older generation still thinks it can ward off evil spirits. We use Liuhuamu for the statues of Fuxi Temple here, and some unscrupulous merchants use fake Liuhuamu. The wood is soaked in toilet water, in order to confuse buyers with that fragrance."
Lian Jiangyue said: "The fragrance of flowers in the wine is probably inherited from this Liuhuamu, but..."
"but?"
"This wine smells like grains when you taste it, and it smells like flowers when you taste it. The aftertaste is sweet and full, and it does taste like rice wine. It has a long finish and is soft. Only glutinous rice wine can have such a taste." Lian Jiangyue said As he spoke, his heart was agitated, and he took another sip. This third sip, the taste was still so good. He said with emotion: "The layers are distinct, the mellow and delicate, I have never drunk such a wine, the fragrance of grains, the fragrance of flowers , all the aromas of the plants are fused together, but they will not be noisy, the fusion is so harmonious, so natural, it can be said to be amazing!"
Bao Zhimei grabbed her hair, looked at Lian Jiangyue and said: "You know so much about wine, you can't be a wine maker, right?"
Lian Jiangyue couldn't stop drinking this Vientiane wine, she took two more sips one after another, and after finishing one cup, he said: "I usually like to drink two cups."
Bao Zhimei was about to add more wine to him, and said, "You have tasted so much from one glass of wine, you don't just like to drink two glasses, do you?"
Lian Jiangyue quickly refused, saying: "Although this wine is good, but the alcohol content should be high, this wine is easy to get drunk..."
Having said that, when he looked at the half bottle of yellow soup in the glass wine bottle, he was very greedy, but he was afraid that he would miss the appointment with Qian Baisui because of drunkenness, so he simply stopped looking at it, got up and said: "There is still food outside." Someone is waiting for me."
Bao Zhimei said: "Wait! Are you leaving now? Three days later..."
Lian Jiangyue said: "Although the only thing you know about pity and my hatred is that he has a jar of wine here, but this wine is really good. I see that the most expensive wine in your store sells for more than 3000. This wine is definitely more than that." At this price, I drank a glass of yours just now. How about it? After three days, I will go to find that Hong Hong and give her another three thousand. It will be considered that I bought your glass of wine. But your trophy will be used to exchange That wooden sign."
Bao Zhimei said: "Wait a minute! Since you know wine so well, I'll give you another taste!"
When Lian Jiangyue heard that there was a better wine than that glass of Vientiane wine, she was curious and looking forward to it, and stood at the door unable to move.Bao Zhimei excitedly took out a small porcelain bottle from behind the roller blind. The mouth of the bottle was sealed with yellow mud, and some mud could be seen on the body of the bottle.Bao Zhimei found a pair of scissors from the drawer, and tapped on the yellow mud seal.The mud shattered, and a sulfurous smell hit the face.
Lian Jiangyue frowned: "You pickled rotten eggs?"
Bao Zhimei pinched her nose and said, "Doesn't stinky tofu just smell bad and taste good?"
She wiped away the yellow mud from the mouth of the porcelain bottle and poured a glass of wine into the wine cup. The liquid was cloudy and the color was close to that of aged rice wine.The smell of sulfur became stronger. Bao Zhimei picked up the wine glass and handed it to Lian Jiangyue: "Try it."
Lian Jiangyue took a sip, it was bitter in the mouth, bitter when tasted, only bitter in the aftertaste, it can be said to be unspeakably bitter, hard to swallow.
But Bao Zhimei looked at him expectantly, pity Jiang Yueqiang to swallow the bitter wine, and asked, "What is this?"
"Wheat burning!"
"You made it?"
"Yes, how is it? Although it doesn't smell very good, does it taste like Vientiane wine?"
Lian Jiangyue really wanted to say some comforting words, but she couldn't go against her heart, so she told the truth: "It's too bitter, it's too bad to drink."
Bao Zhimei was angry for a while, and she was about to get angry when she stared at Lian Jiangyue, but when she opened her mouth, she coughed due to the smell in the porcelain bottle, blinked her eyes, sat down holding the porcelain bottle, and said quietly: "You are so easy Believe in people, and always tell the truth, Lian Jiangyue, you will suffer in this society, you will suffer."
Lian Jiangyue sighed, and said: "Although your father is gone, your mother is demented and can't remember the secret recipe, but you can ask the old craftsmen in the winery, maybe they remember something .”
Bao Zhimei said: "Shangguan Yuzhan is not my mother, my mother died of illness very early."
She also said: "Sister Qiu, she is the one who sells wine in the store. You have seen it just now, and you have asked those old masters about it. All I know is that the raw materials are wheat from the Mingshi City, glutinous rice from Taihu Lake, and they need to be soaked. Roasting or steaming, as for the heat, temperature, and fermentation time, they can't tell, it's all under my father's control."
"Did he leave no notes, notes or anything like that?"
"My dad did have a notebook, which he always carried with him, but he died in a car accident, and he was burnt badly, so he didn't keep the notebook. After he passed away, Shangguan Yuzhan was in charge, and I didn't either. Find a record of some secret recipe in her stuff."
Lian Jiangyue said again: "Then why don't you talk to your brother again, after all, this is your family's signature, your parents' hard work, your blood is thicker than water..."
Bao Zhimei sneered: "I came here because I couldn't get along with him," she clenched her fists, and said angrily, "I also made a poisonous oath that I will definitely brew Vientiane wine, and I must Make him look at me with admiration!" But after finishing speaking, she lowered her eyes again in frustration, and put the porcelain bottle in her arms on the table forcefully, "I researched on the Internet, looked up information, borrowed money to buy raw materials, and finally made it Such a thing..."
Lian Jiangyue asked: "Do you have any impressions of the winery? It's hot? How hot? Humid? How humid? Or what the workers are busy with, do you have the deepest impression?"
Bao Zhimei shook her head and said: "When I was a child, I made wine in the winery in the backyard of the old house. The place was too hot, and I didn't like to go there. Later, a factory was built, and I didn't go there either."
"Then where is your bottle of wine made?"
Bao Zhimei took him to the window and pointed down. Outside the window was a backyard.There are some bamboo mats, steamers, wooden buckets, wooden spoons, and shovels in the yard. There is a shallow pit on the ground, and some grain bags are piled up in the corner of the yard.
"That retort cost me a lot of money." Bao Zhimei said, "It was still collected from a bankrupt winery, and it was said to be used for brewing old wine."
Lian Jiangyue felt strange: "Why don't you go to the winery to brew, the utensils there should be more complete." He said: "The sulfur smell in your wine should be because you didn't use copper to distill it, and copper can remove the sulfur smell. "
Bao Zhimei said: "The winery is Bao Renhui's territory, I won't go."
"If you want to brew the taste of Vientiane wine, it's impossible with these utensils in your backyard." Lian Jiangyue said, "A man can bend and stretch."
Bao Zhimei turned her head and walked away: "I'm an old woman! I can't bend, I can't stretch! The winery is actually a blending place, and I haven't brewed wine there once after it was built!"
She said in a low voice: "The winery is under Bao Renhui's name."
Lian Jiangyue said: "No wonder you said it's his territory, what about this store?"
"It's shared by our brothers and sisters!" She continued angrily: "Although Wanxiang Wine is called Wanxiang Wine, the recipe is made by Shangguan Yuzhan! Bao Renhui just didn't like her, so he wanted to give this signboard to her." Damn it, he's avenging himself!"
Lian Jiangyue thought for a while: "The old house and wine shop you mentioned just now, are they also under the name of Bao Renhui?"
Bao Zhimei said: "I don't know, and I don't have the key there either."
"Then the newspaper said that the Japanese would buy it. Has the contract been signed? Has the date been set?"
"I don't know." Bao Zhimei looked up at Lian Jiangyue, and said: "My current situation is that I want to make wine, but I can't find the right way. There are still people chasing debts, and there is a vicious big brother who wants to force me to sign and sell the shop. Let him live in a bigger house."
She thought about it and said, "How about this, if you give me 12 yuan, even if you invest in Vientiane Chateau, we will brew wine together and revitalize Vientiane Chateau later, I will give you a share, the lending company knows that someone invested in us, Maybe he will let me go."
Lian Jiangyue shook her head and said: "If I really do this, then I will really be a charity. It's a pity that Vientiane Wine is gone, but wine making is a technical job that relies on experience, and it also has great requirements for the venue. I You haven’t done it before, and you don’t seem to be very good at it. It takes time to make wine, and it can’t be produced in ten days and half a month. The fastest rice wine takes a month, whiskey takes a year, and rice wine is the best in ten years. You If you really want to find someone to invest, how can 12 be enough?"
Bao Zhimei listened with a gray face, suddenly slapped her forehead, and said: "I remember, Shangguan Yuzhan has a letter to Lianwuhan, where did I put it? I have to look for it! I will definitely give it to you find out!"
Lian Jiangyue raised her eyebrows: "Don't lie to me."
"I won't lie to you! And I can take you to see her, maybe she will remember something!" She stared at Lian Jiangyue closely, "Then you don't need to pay, just ask you to make wine for me once, just Once, you don't have to stay here for a long time, the wine is sealed and stored in the cellar, and you go! You don't need to deal with debt collection, I will find a way to solve it myself, and you will help me make wine!" She blinked, her eye circles turned red, "You don't want Wanxiang Wine to be lost, do you?"
Lian Jiangyue said: "Even if I help you, we may not be able to brew that taste."
"Just try! Just this once!"
Lian Jiangyue still had the aftertaste of Vientiane wine in her mouth, thinking that Bao Zhimei's parents had died, she had turned against her blood relatives, and her life experience was pitiful, and it would be a pity if such fine wine as Vientiane wine was lost, he felt a little soft-hearted.Thinking about it again, although he is a layman and has never done wine making, but he came down the mountain to travel the world, isn't it just to experience something that he has never experienced before?Wouldn't it be great, happy, if some good wine and fine wine were really brewed?Lian Jiangyue couldn't help being a little excited, so she nodded: "Just try it."
"Really?"
"real."
Bao Zhimei grabbed his hand excitedly: "Are you here to save my Yamazaki?"
Lian Jiangyue was at a loss and didn't know what she was talking about, so she saw Bao Zhimei's eyes glowing, pulled him to the door, and said, "Let's go to the old house in Baojia Village now! Go over the wall and go in!" But when she opened the door, she hesitated, and said vaguely: "It's better to wait until it gets darker, because it's too eye-catching to climb over the wall during the day."
She looked at Lian Jiangyue and said, "Go to Shangguan Yuzhan first to inquire about Lian Wuhan."
"Didn't you take me there?"
Bao Zhimei straightened her face and said, "Oh, don't worry about it, you can find her at the Horse Neck Lake Nursing Home." She pushed him out the door.
Lian Jiangyue returned to the business hall of Vientiane Winery in a daze, there was no customer in the store, sister Qiu was cleaning the glass counter, the boy who played games was still playing games, and so was Qian Baisui.When Lian Jiangyue saw this old gentleman, she felt sorry for a while, walked over and apologized to him: "I'm so sorry, old Mr. Qian, I'm afraid we can't compare today, I have to find someone, and I have to go to make a package later. Jiacun, how about this, let’s make an appointment at a time and place, and I promise to attend.”
Qian Baisui said: "What are you doing in Baojia Village?"
Lian Jiangyue scratched the tip of her nose, and said: "I was also ordered to go to Baojia Village to help people make wine when I was in danger."
"Are you the master brewer?"
"No."
"Then you are the sommelier?"
"Not at all."
"Have you ever stepped on koji, shaved offal, boiled corn, steamed rice, sealed cellars, and paired wine in the winery?"
"Neither."
"No matter how bad it is, you used to be a doctor of wine? Or opened some kind of bar."
"I haven't done any of these things."
"Does the person who asked you for help know this?"
Lian Jiangyue nodded.
Qian Baisui clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "The person who came to see you rushed to the doctor in a hurry!"
Lian Jiangyue also laughed, and Qian Baisui asked again: "Then you still agreed to others? He rushed to the doctor in a hurry, and you are a dead horse as a living horse doctor?"
At this moment, Lian Jiangyue came back with some aftertaste: "I was impulsive." He smiled, "But, who said that a dead horse doctor can't live?"
He smiled and looked at his right hand: "A broken arm can be reborn, and a dead horse might be able to bounce back alive. Old man, where there is a will, there is a way."
Qian Baisui laughed after hearing the words, pointed out and said, "Let's go."
"Let's go? You're with me?" This was completely unexpected for Lian Jiangyue, and he said, "Don't worry, if we make an appointment, I will definitely show up."
Qian Baisui said: "Old man, I don't drink at all, but I'm familiar with Baojia Village. Every family there used to make wine, and they were all relatives with the same surname from Hunan. When I was young, I did some wheat turning and mixing. The work of the koji, little brother, do you think I can help that dead horse?"
Unexpectedly, this old man was still a warm-hearted man, Lian Jiangyue beamed with joy, and walked out with Qian Baisui, saying: "Now let's find Shangguan Yuzhan and ask about something."
Qian Baisui nodded and said, "Okay, Shangguan Yuzhan, I saw her a few times when I was young, but I haven't seen her for decades, so I knew she was ill, so I went to see her too."
When I got outside the gate of the winery, I heard sister Qiu shouting: "Xiaoqiu, where are you going?"
When the two turned their heads, they saw the boy playing games following them, and sister Qiu hurriedly came out from the counter.The boy handed her the phone to look at. Sister Qiu looked at the screen of the phone, knelt down and helped him arrange his clothes, looked up at Lian Jiangyue, and said with a smile, "I heard that you are going to see Grandma Shangguan." , also go."
Lian Jiangyue asked: "Today is Wednesday, isn't he going to school?"
Sister Qiu was still smiling, the thick powder on her face showed cracks, she said: "I don't feel well, I'm asking for leave."
Lian Jiangyue looked at Xiaoqiu with a ruddy complexion, as if she was sick.At this time, Qian Baisui patted Xiaoqiu on the head and said, "Then let's go together, it will be more lively if there are more people."
Lian Jiangyue nodded, and exchanged mobile phone numbers with Sister Qiu to make it easier to contact, so she took a taxi with the old man and the little baby to the Ma Neck Lake Nursing Home.
Along the way, Xiao Qiu still held on to his phone, Lian Jiangyue secretly glanced at it, Xiao Qiu was playing an rpg game with a story and a plot, and he was very involved in the game.
When they arrived at the nursing home, they applied to visit Shangguan Yuzhan at the nursing station. A nurse inside saw Xiaoqiu and said, "Xiaoqiu, here we go again." She took them to the reception room on the first floor.
From the reception room there was a view of a lake glistening with silver, which must have been Horseneck Lake.On the other side of the lake are continuous sand hills.
After entering the reception room, Xiao Qiu went straight to a white-haired old woman sitting in a wheelchair.Qian Baisui looked at it, and said thoughtfully, "Shangguan Yuzhan should be younger than me."
Lian Jiangyue looked at the old woman. Her hair was so dry, so white, and the hair was very thin. Her hands and feet were curled up, her head was tilted, and she seemed to be curled up in a wheelchair.
The TV above the old woman's head was showing the afternoon news.A mysterious underground palace was dug out in a Beijing Hutong, and hundreds of treasures were rediscovered.The rest of the old people in the reception room were either watching TV, cracking sunflower seeds, or just sitting in the sun.Everyone's eyes didn't seem to wake up.
Xiaoqiu sat down beside the old woman, leaning against the French windows, her black hair shining.The old woman reached out and stroked his hair gently.
Lian Jiangyue and Qian Baisui went up to say hello to her.
"Shangguan Yuzhan?" Lian Jiangyue called out to her.The old woman didn't respond to the name at all, Qian Baisui picked up the ID card hanging on the old woman's wheelchair and said, "It's Shangguan Yuzhan, that's right."
Her face was only the size of a palm, her eyes were big, wrinkles circled around her eyes, and her lips were dry and cracked.Her mouth is also small and her nose bridge is high.Must have been a beautiful woman when she was young.
Lian Jiangyue squatted down and asked: "Excuse me, do you know a person named Lian Wuchen? You still have the Vientiane wine left for him in your wine cellar."
"Vientiane Wine," Shangguan Yuzhan laughed, "It means all-encompassing wine."
Qian Baisui asked Lian Jiangyue: "Do you have a picture of Lian Wuhan, show her."
Lian Jiangyue shook her head.
"Then what does he look like? Tell her about it. You have the same surname, so you are relatives, so you should look a little like him?"
Lian Jiangyue thought for a while, he only remembered how Lian Wu hated to die, he was no different from any old man here, time took out his skin, leaving him shriveled and withered.
At this time, Shangguan Yuzhan touched Lian Jiangyue's right hand and said, "Go find a well without water, a tree without roots, a flower without stamens, and a burning moon...the sun rising in the west ...you go find..."
Lian Jiangyue wondered: "Lian Wuchen also said the same thing, is this the secret recipe of Wanxiang wine?"
Qian Baisui said in a deep voice: "A well without water, a tree without roots, these are impossible things to exist."
He looked at Shangguan Yuzhan, pointed at himself and said, "Thousands of years old, do you remember? I saw it in Baojia Village, 1980, in [-], at the Fuxi Festival in Baojia Village."
Shangguan Yuzhan was silent again, no matter who called her again, or said something to her, she seemed to be asleep with her eyes open, and she didn't respond at all.
After sitting with him for a long time, Lian Jiangyue and his party came out of the nursing home when they couldn't find anything.It was noon, and Lian Jiangyue didn't have breakfast. After running around, she was already so hungry that her chest was on her back, so she found a restaurant nearby to eat.There is a seller of loose rice in the shop, Qian Baisui is the master, he ordered three bowls of loose rice, and he mixed a bowl for Lian Jiangyue, and Lian Jiangyue ate half a bowl in one go, nodding repeatedly.Qian Baisui looked at him with a smile and ate slowly.Xiao Qiu also ate some, but he still didn't speak, and glanced at Lian Jiangyue's hair from time to time, and glanced at a brochure for nursing homes stuck in the pocket of Qian Baisui's jacket.
When they returned to Vientiane Winery, it was almost dark. Sister Qiu was wearing heavy makeup, wearing a flag dress, and took the ball away on a bicycle.Lian Jiangyue and Qianbaisui entered the office to find Bao Zhimei. Seeing Qianbaisui, Bao Zhimei raised her shoulders and leaned against the wall and asked, "Who is this? Your grandfather?"
Qian Baisui touched his cheek with a smile, and said: "My grandson is only in elementary school, and I'm just a nosy person, little girl, Old Chaihuo looks so old, alas, whatever, I will treat you well." Please teach me the secret of maintenance, I think you have just graduated from university, right?"
Seeing that Qianbaisui had a pleasant smile and what he said was quite flattering, Bao Zhimei also laughed out relaxedly.Lian Jiangyue said, "Then let's go."
Bao Zhimei waved her hand and said, "Wait a little longer."
If she didn't leave, Lian Jiangyue and Qianbaisui had no choice but to wait.Thousands of years are "as long as you come, you will be safe", sitting and dozing.Lian Jiangyue chatted with Fengxu Weiwei, Zhang Yuanshou surrendered himself to the Public Security Bureau, Fengxuwei was rehearsing a new play for a group of new actors, and was very busy.He sent a long voice to Lian Jiangyue, Lian Jiangyue was about to listen, Bao Zhimei patted him: "Go!"
At this time, the sky was getting darker again, and they came out of Vientiane Winery and took a ride to Baojia Village.
It took more than an hour to arrive at Baojia Village, and the taxi driver asked them: "Are you going back to the city? Waiting for you?"
Bao Zhimei huddled in a corner of the car, pushed Lian Jiangyue beside her, and whispered, "Let him park the car here and wait for us."
"It's here?"
"Climb over the wall and let him see what to do!"
"Then why don't you say it?"
"If you tell me, just say it!"
So they got out of the car in front of a Populus euphratica grove. Bao Zhimei led the way in the dark. On the wall, Bao Zhimei was grabbed, grabbed her against the wall, and turned into the yard with her.Lian Jiangyue wanted to turn in too, when she heard someone screaming behind the wall, Qian Baisui grabbed Bao Zhimei and turned back out again.
"It was a mistake." Bao Zhimei said with a dry smile.
After going through three wrong yards in succession, he finally turned into a yard with no lights or people. There was a well in the yard.Bao Zhimei pointed at it and said, "This is it!"
Qian Baisui and Lian Jiangyue said: "I think you are not a dead horse, but a blind horse."
Lian Jiangyue smiled.Bao Zhimei pointed to a rolling gate in the yard again, and said, "This is the winery where my dad used to make wine."
There was a big lock on the door, and Bao Zhimei looked left and right, muttering: "Where is the stone? Why is there no stone?"
Taking advantage of her inattention, Qian Baisui broke the lock and rolled up the shutter door.
The winery was very dark, with a sour smell.Bao Zhimei turned on the flashlight of her mobile phone, took a photo, stomped her feet and yelled: "Bao Renhui!!"
Lian Jiangyue also took out her mobile phone flashlight, and under the two strong lights, she could see everything in the winery at a glance.Except for a whole stone trough sunken into the ground and a huge kang bed, the winery is empty.
Bao Zhimei grabbed the phone and roared: "Answer the phone! Bao Renhui, answer the phone!!"
Qian Baisui hid outside, and Lian Jiangyue didn't dare to approach her, just watched her walking around, waving one hand in the air, and the phone seemed to be connected.Panting heavily, she crackled like lit firecrackers.
"You shameless brat, wait for me, you wait! I'm here, I'm coming now!"
"No, no, come here! If you have the guts, come here, you coward!"
She rushed into the wine shop and ran around, pitying Jiangyue several times, thinking that she was going to hit the wall.
Bao Zhimei asked Bao Renhui almost hoarsely: "Where are those old songs? You threw them away too? How could you do this!"
"how could you do this!"
"how could you do this……"
Bao Zhimei was so short of breath and hoarse, she walked two more circles around the winery, threw her phone on the ground, and sat down, her words were full of frustration that could not be concealed: "There is nothing... ...He's dealt with it all... gone..."
Lian Jiangyue went over to look at the stone trough, reached out to grab some air, touched it, and comforted her: "It's a good thing that the old winery is still there. The air here will be very beneficial to the microorganisms that are beneficial to grain fermentation."
Looking at the decadent and lost Bao Zhimei, looking at this empty wine shop, has strengthened Lian Jiangyue's determination to help her.He helped her up and said: "You and Mr. Qian are packing up your place here now, and you won't be going back in the city for the time being. I'll go back to the hotel to pack up and check out early. Bring those ingredients from the backyard."
Bao Zhimei nodded.Lian Jiangyue gave Qian Baisui a few words, please take care of Bao Zhimei carefully, and took a ride back to the downtown area of Minshi.
Back at Xinmin Hotel, Lian Jiangyue saw He Xiaoshu sitting on the sofa in the lobby.
He Xiaoshu also saw him, got up and said first: "Take a step to talk."
