Mei Hongfang lifted up a small ceramic wine jar from the bottom of the table. The wine jar was very ordinary in texture and slightly ugly in appearance, but it had a rustic flavor.
The few old people did not look down upon it because of its appearance. Each of them held a cup and waited for Mei Hongfang to pour the wine. []
Mei Hongfang carefully opened the seal of the ceramic jar, and a strong aroma of wine immediately hit his nose. Although it was not the first time that Mei Hongfang smelled the wine, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Even Li Yueji, who doesn¡¯t know much about wine, thought of taking a sip after smelling the fragrance. At the same time, Li Yueji was vaguely confused. The aroma of the wine seemed familiar.
"Well, this wine tastes really good! Old man Mei, hurry up, I want to see how this wine tastes?" Lin Juedong said.
Lin Juedong loves wine very much, but elderly people should not drink alcohol, especially those with high alcohol content. But grain wine is different. The alcohol content itself is not high. In addition, there are some soluble solids in the wine, which itself is relatively nutritious.
¡°I won¡¯t give it to you, I¡¯ll make you an old drunkard die!¡± Mei Hongfang said with a smile.
"You dare, if you dare not pour me a drink, I will expose all your past embarrassing things. You will be embarrassed to see others!" Lin Juedong laughed.
Lin Juedong and Mei Hongfang are neighbors. Although the age difference between the two is not small, they are very familiar with each other.
Mei Hongfang did not feel guilty, "How can I compare to you when it comes to embarrassing things? I couldn't finish talking about your embarrassing things for three days and three nights. How about we talk about it in detail that day?"
When it came to getting serious, Lin Juedong hesitated a little, "Stop talking nonsense, pour the wine quickly, and finish the business first. Are you bragging?"
Lin Juedong said as he put the cup under the mouth of the wine jar first.
Mei Hongfang tilted the wine jar slightly, and a stream of pure and slightly viscous liquid flowed out of the wine jar. The wine was slightly red.
A few old people used beer glasses, which could hold about two or three taels.
When the wine is poured into a transparent cup, a golden mirror is formed on the surface, which looks very dazzling.
"Hehe, this wine is interesting!" Lin Juedong said with a smile. When the wine glass was full, he quickly picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Lin Juedong rolled his eyes a few times, as if he was savoring the taste of the wine, but after a while, he didn't say whether the wine was good or bad, and instead picked up the cup again.
The other old men, without waiting for Lin Juedong to comment, each picked up the poured wine and tasted it.
After a while, everyone burst into admiration, except Lin Juedong who did not speak, but the wine glass in front of him was almost bottomed out.
"Old drunkard, don't just drink. You also want to tell me how the wine is. Xiao Li is still waiting aside!" Mei Hong said to Lin Juedong.
"It's good, but I haven't had enough of it yet. Pour me another glass!" Lin Juedong said and handed the cup over again. It goes without saying whether this wine is good or not!
Although Mei Hongfang poured wine for Lin Juedong, he still advised him, "Old drunkard, don't underestimate this wine. The alcohol is not high when you drink it, and it goes down your throat easily, but it has enough staying power." Very well, you must not get drunk!"
"It's not like you don't know my drinking capacity. There's no problem in drinking two glasses of low-alcohol wine like this!" Lin Juedong didn't care.
Mei Hongfang smiled, turned back to Li Yueji and asked, "Xiao Li, would you like to have a drink?"
"No, no, I don't know how to drink." Li Yueji refused.
"It's okay. The alcohol content of this wine is low. It's okay for girls to drink a little. Moreover, this wine is rich in nutrients. Like wine, it can also beautify people!" Mei Hongfang said with a smile. Whether this wine can beautify people, Mei Hongfang can't. Sure.
"Really?" Li Yueji smiled.
Seeing that Li Yueji seemed a little moved, Mei Hongfang immediately said, "Come on, come on, have a taste."
After saying that, Mei Hongfang poured a small glass of wine from a small wine glass and handed it to Li Yueji.
Li Yueji carefully took the wine glass, put it to her lips, and took a sip.
"Huh?" Li Yueji exclaimed.
"Isn't this good?" Mei Hongfang asked.
Li Yueji nodded, "The smell of this wine is a bit familiar, like the medicinal wine from our hometown."
"Haha, Xiao Li is very talented in drinking. He can actually feel like home when he drinks wine!" Mei Hongfang joked.
"No, this wine really tastes like the medicinal wine we have there." Li Yueji said.
"Oh, where is Xiao Li from?" Mei Hongfang asked.
"She's from Shanmen Town, Jinlu County." Li Yueji said.
Mei Hongfang said in surprise, "Are you from Jinlu County too?"
Li Yueji naturally heard the word "ye" in Mei Hongfang's words clearly, and immediately asked, "Has the old gentleman met other people from Jinlu County?"
Mei Hongfang nodded, "I actually met one, and she brewed this wine!"
"Do you know where she is from Jinlu County?" Li Yueji asked casually. Li Yueji was a little excited at first, but then she thought that Jinlu County was so large that it was unlikely that she would meet an acquaintance.
"She seems to have said that she is from Banshan Village in Shanmen Town." Mei Hongfang said.
"She's from Banshan Village? What's her name? I'm from Banshan Village too!" Li Yueji almost shouted with excitement.
"Kid, don't yell so much! You almost choked me to death!" Lin Juedong really choked. While Mei Hongfang was talking to Li Yueji, this guy poured a glass of wine by himself, and just drank it in his mouth. Thinking, Li Yueji came suddenly.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'll bring you a towel to wipe it clean!" Li Yueji said apologetically.
Mei Hongfang smiled and said, "Haha, Xiao Li, just ignore him and steal my wine. He deserves to be choked to death! It's okay, leave him alone. Let's talk about this. Are you really from Banshan Village?"
"Yes!" Li Yueji nodded.
"So, do you know Liu Huijun?" Mei Hongfang asked.
"Of course I know you! You said Sister Huijun has also come to Qiantang City? Is she the one who brewed this wine?" Li Yueji was so excited that she couldn't restrain herself.
Mei Hongfang nodded affirmatively.
"No wonder the smell of this wine was so familiar to me when I first smelled it! It is indeed the medicinal wine that can only be made by Sister Huijun and her family! Old sir, let me tell you, in our Banshan Village, they are the only ones who can brew such delicious wine. ." Li Yueji was obviously in tears when she saw a fellow villager. She was extremely excited.
"Haha, this world is so small. I didn't expect that such a coincidence could happen just by drinking a little wine!" Lin Juedong laughed.
Li Yueji also laughed. It was a coincidence that Qiantang City was so big that she and Liu Huijun happened to bump into each other.
"Then it won't be a problem to sell this wine here?" Mei Hongfang said with a smile.
"Even without Sister Huijun's relationship, of course we have to sell such good wine. But I have to tell Sister Yalin that she is the boss!" Li Yueji said with a smile.
"If Yalin doesn't agree to serve this wine, I will never come here to eat fish again!" Lin Juedong said.
"If you don't come, you won't come. I'll make you hungry when I make new dishes!" Xiao Yalin walked out at some point.
Lin Juedong noticed that Xiao Yalin had already come out, and looked a little embarrassed, "What, my good niece, I just said it casually. Don't take it seriously!"
"It doesn't matter if you don't just say it casually!" Xiao Yalin said, but couldn't help but smile on her face.
"Sister Yalin, I just want to tell you about this matter. You make the decision!" Li Yueji said.
"Yueji, you can make your own decision on this matter from now on. Don't ask me. I believe you will never do anything detrimental to the fish restaurant. Please tell your fellow countryman that you must not mix alcohol with it. ." Xiao Yalin warned.
"Sister Yalin, don't worry, Sister Huijun will definitely not do such a thing. She is such a kind person! When she was in the village, she often helped others!" Li Yueji quickly defended Liu Huijun.
"That's right, Huijun is a good girl, she wouldn't do such a thing! Originally, the winery she took over had dozens of jars of wine, and she would rather just throw it away than sell it. She said the quality of the wine was too poor If she didn¡¯t pour it out, she would ruin her own brand. She made her own wine, but she didn¡¯t sell it right away. She said that the wine was not fully mature yet and the flavor was not at its best. In fact, I think the wine tasted pretty good. She hasn't done any business for more than a month, and everyone is worried about her. Fortunately, the wine has been stored for a few months, and the taste has indeed improved a lot. The medicinal materials soaked in it have also lost their taste." Mei Hongfang said.
¡°Originally I only knew that their wine had a good reputation in the village, but I didn¡¯t expect that there were so many specialties.¡± Li Yueji said.
"This packaging is a little bit bad. If it were packaged properly, it would be no problem even entering a big hotel!" Xiao Yalin said.
"That's right! People nowadays eat food in packaging. I will tell her when I get back and find a way to come up with better-looking packaging," Mei Hongfang said.
"Mr. Mei, where is Sister Huijun's wine shop? I want to go over and see her when I have time!" Li Yueji asked.
Mei Hongfang will LiuThe location of Huijun Winery was told to Li Yueji in detail, as well as Liu Huijun¡¯s current mobile phone number.
In fact, Liu Huijun still keeps the original number, but she just doesn¡¯t use it. The roaming fee is too expensive, and Liu Huijun is reluctant to use it. However, this mobile phone number is very important to Liu Huijun, and Liu Huijun has always kept it.
Fortunately, the mobile phone has dual-SIM dual standby, and it is convenient to add a local SIM card.
Liu Huijun¡¯s wine shop has already been up and running, and the wine Mei Hongfang brought to Yalin Fish Restaurant was the first batch of products.
Liu Huijun¡¯s winery didn¡¯t hire anyone. She was the only one inside and out. The winery had just started and there was no need to do sales yet. Liu Huijun had to personally control the brewing process, so Liu Huijun didn¡¯t hire anyone. All the hard work of clearing goods is done by one's own hands.
Finally, the winery is on the right track, and Liu Huijun is ready to recruit a few people to try to expand the sales.
Mr. Mei Hongfang was very enthusiastic. He was afraid that Liu Huijun¡¯s wine would not be sold, so he contacted acquaintances everywhere to find sales for Liu Huijun¡¯s wine.
Liu Huijun finished all the work and felt a little exhausted. She sat down on a chair, leaned on the backrest, and fell asleep.
