Chapter 52 Wine
The commercial real estate project department of the textile factory is located in a small building next to Huazhongcheng. When Li Rui drove to the car, Zhao Wenlong and Wu Kangmei were coming out of the small building.
"Old Wu just said that he called you but no one answered him. It turned out that you ran here directly." Seeing Li Rui and Zhao Wenlong, he said with a smile. He had just known each other for a long time and called Lao Wu. It seemed that the talk was good.
"I was called by Minister Guo just now." Li Rui seemed a little absent-minded because he was still thinking about how to speak to Zhao Wenlong about stone.
Zhao Wenlong and Li Rui have been together for a long time and have learned a little about his temper and asked, "What, is there something wrong?"
"Nothing big." It's not convenient for people to talk here. Li Rui pointed to the bare billboard on the rooftop and then said, "I'm telling me why the name of your commercial real estate has not been picked yet?"
"I took a few names, but it was not appropriate to see. I haven't decided yet." Zhao Wenlong shook his head and said.
It is not convenient to call it without a name. Li Rui remembered the source of his creativity and said, "I think it's better to call it Tengfei Center." Li Rui was worried that Zhao Wenlong was unhappy, and then explained: "After the commercial real estate project is completed, it will be a commercial center integrating commercial, residential and tourism. Beggar Zhongcheng is a bit inappropriate, and Tengfei Center also sounds grand."
Zhao Wenlong was not dissatisfied at all and nodded, "Okay, I think this name is OK! I will discuss with Manager Yu in the afternoon, take off the flying center, it is so grand!"
"Secretary Li, Mr. Zhao, the time is almost over, let's go?" Wu Kangmei walked up at the right time and said with a smile on her face.
In fact, Wu Kangmei was very excited at this time. Before coming to Pengcheng, he knew Li Rui only based on some rumors. However, from Zhu Jie's hard work to find a bag yesterday, to Zhao Wenlong's courtesy in the morning and the relationship between Minister Guo that he heard from the conversation between them just now, it is enough to prove that Li Rui's energy in Pengcheng is amazing, and he is secretly happy that he can catch the line of Li Rui.
"Where is Yu Meixia? She can't come?" Li Rui looked into the building and asked.
"Manager Yu is busy contacting Hong Kong to hire supervisors, so she won't go." Zhao Wenlong said with a smile.
Li Rui smiled when he heard this. Yu Meixia was the strong woman he knew in his previous life who was decisive and never procrastinating.
"Today we changed places and we have been tired of eating in our own restaurant. A few days ago, my friend introduced me to a small restaurant that is said to be quite good. Let's go and join in the fun today."
Li Rui took the handbag that Fang Qiang had just handed over and happened to remember Zhu Jie. This man was quite reliable in doing business, and said, "What's the name of that small restaurant? Where is it? Otherwise, he would call Zhu Jie together and help us get the things back. I haven't thanked him well yet."
"I'm called Pengshui, right by the Pengshui River in the east of the city. If your phone is out of battery, I'll call it." Zhao Wenlong and Zhu Jie were already familiar with each other. While talking, they quickly took out their elder brother to call Zhu Jie.
After saying a few simple words, he hung up the phone and smiled, "It just so happened that Zhu Jie was on duty at the unit today. Their squadron is not far from Pengshui home. He also knew that place, let's go here."
Neither Li Rui nor Zhao Wenlong drove, and the four of them squeezed into Wu Kangmei's old Toyota. Wu Kangmei drove, Zhao Wenlong helped guide the way and drove eastward towards the city.
When I arrived at Pengshui, a police car had already parked in the yard. Zhu Jie came out of it and smiled and said, "This place is close to our squadron, and I often come."
There are no five bans these days, so it is not surprising that the police car parked at the entrance of the hotel and was wearing police uniforms and shouting.
Everyone knew each other. After shaking hands and greetings, Zhu Jie said, "I have ordered the dishes. I have cooked a wild turtle, stewed a wild turtle, a pound of salted shrimp, and then made some vegetarian dishes."
"Okay, but I've agreed that I will pay for the meal today." Zhao Wenlong laughed.
"The small restaurant doesn't have much money, so I'll sign a contract at that time. I'll borrow your brother's light when I go to Huazhong City next time." Zhu Jie also smiled.
"No problem, no problem." Just as Zhao Wenlong was about to enter the door, he remembered that he didn't drive the car today and forgot to bring the wine. He muttered to take out his brother and prepare to let the store bring some good wine.
Zhu Jie quickly stopped him and said with a smile: "I have brought the wine too. Everyone will try it carefully later. It is definitely not worse than Wuliangye and Maotai."
"Yes, then I have to try it." Zhao Wenlong was quite curious.
There was a small jar of two pounds on the table, and there were several bottles of very simple white wine next to it. Zhao Wenlong picked up the wine glass and looked at the label on it, "Qing Yunchun, thirty-five degrees."
He couldn't help but say in surprise: "This is what you are talking about! Low-alcohol wine doesn't taste strong enough."
Zhu Jie smiled and said nothing. Li Rui picked up the small jar on the table curiously, looked at it carefully, and said in surprise: "This jar should have been a lot of years, right? I think it will last at least fifty or sixty years, right?"
"Fifty or sixty years? What wine is it?" Zhao Wenlong was very curious when he heard this and took the jar from Li Rui. Unfortunately, he was a layman, and except for the jar being a little older, he could not tell anything special.
"Qing Yunchun, isn't this the wine from our Nanqiao? I've drunk it before, but it's gone on the market in the past two years." Wu Kangmei also looked at the bottle with the wine and said.
Zhu Jie smiled and said, "Yes, it's all Qingyunchun, including the wine jar, which contains Qingyunchun's raw juice. Secretary Li has good eyesight, but the wine in this jar has been filled for more than fifty or sixty years. It may be from the beginning of the Republic of China, at least sixty or seventy years. In fact, I'm going to hide it from everyone. In addition to Mr. Zhao and Secretary Li, three of us are from Nanqiao. My hometown is in Shagou Township, Nanqiao. My father is the director of Shagou Winery, who originally produced Qingyunchun."
"Zhu Jie, you are wrong about this. It's not that except Lao Zhao and me, but that we are all from Nanqiao except Lao Zhao. Qiangzi and I are old neighbors for many years. So let's try the wine from our hometown together today." Li Rui smiled and took the wine jar and patted the wax seal and mud seal. A tempting aroma of wine suddenly drifted in the air. Li Rui shook the jar, looked in, and said, "I said the amount I picked up just now was a little light, but it turned out that there was only half a jar left in it."
Zhao Wenlong also runs a hotel and has always been aware of wine. He sucked his nose and said in surprise: "Be good! This wine is at least 70 degrees up!"
"Seventy degrees up, can you still drink this wine?" Fang Qiang, who had been following behind, couldn't help but scream.
"So I brought some low-grade new wine, blended it and then drank it to ensure that I can't forget the taste." Zhu Jie smiled.
"There are also some specialties in this wine mix. Since Team Zhu Ling Zun is the director of the winery, you are naturally not a problem with wine mixing, right?" Wu Kangmei said curiously.
"I've got the boss ready."
Zhu Jie asked the boss to serve the food and brought a large bottle of ten kilograms and poured the raw pulp from the jar into it. The raw pulp is clear and mellow.
Zhao Wenlong and Wu Kangmei agreed and said, "Good wine!"
Zhu Jie poured all the five bottles of low-degree Qingyunchun he brought in, stirred them with long chopsticks with special strips, and then poured them into a small bowl in front of everyone.
"Try them all and see how they taste?"
Li Rui was also very curious. He picked up the small bowl and took a sip. He felt that the wine was pure and long, soft and mellow. The fragrance of the wine penetrated into the lungs and a warm feeling in his abdomen spread out and spread throughout his body in an instant, and every pore felt comfortable.
I couldn't help but blurt out: "Okay! What a great wine!"
Zhao Wenlong even drank all the wine of Xiao Erliang in the bowl and praised it endlessly.
"I have already asked for leave in the afternoon. Today we are rarely together. Let's drink happily without getting drunk." Zhu Jie picked up the wine bowl and said.
It was rare to drink such good wine, and Li Rui was also very excited and shouted: "Okay!" Kill the remaining wine in the bowl in one sip.
Everyone toasted at the same time, only Fang Qiang held a bowl and looked hesitant: "You drink, I drink less, I will be responsible for driving later."
"Drink not to drive, drive not to drink. Drink less, don't drive." Zhu Jie said with a straight face.
"Then I won't drink it, I'll drink it." Fang Qiang looked at the wine in the bowl. In fact, the wineworm in his stomach was also hooked out by the fragrance of wine, with a reluctant expression.
"Haha!" Zhu Jie suddenly laughed and patted Fang Qiang's shoulder and said, "Brother, it's okay, don't worry, don't drink it boldly. I'll send two people to take charge of sending you all back later."
"Really, I'll drink it." Fang Qiang was overjoyed when he heard this. He couldn't wait to get the wine in the bowl, smash the mouth and sighed: "It's really a good wine!"
Everyone focused their attention on Fang Qiang, which caused a burst of laughter.
"Zhu Jie, thank you for what happened yesterday. Come on, I'll give you a glass." Li Rui picked up the small bowl filled with wine and said.
"Yes, yes! Qiangzi, let's pay a cup to Team Zhu together, otherwise our losses would have been heavy yesterday." Wu Kangmei also hurriedly called Fang Qiang to pick up the bowl together.
