After arriving home, Wang Xiaoshan gently took the wine out of his bag, and then hurriedly went to the house to find his grandfather.
Wang Xiaoshan: "Grandpa, we found a treasure, come and take a look!"
Grandpa curiously followed Wang Xiaoshan to the yard and found two wine jars on the ground. He was also a little puzzled how his grandson could get back two jars of wine when he went to dig for mountain goods.
Wang Xiaoshan: "I dug two jars of liquor in the mountains today!"
Hearing that it was liquor, Grandpa walked to the wine jars and took a closer look. They may have been buried for a long time, and the two jars were a bit dusty.
If Wang Xiaoshan hadn't said it, it would be difficult for most people to guess that these were two jars of liquor that were hundreds of years old.
Grandpa: "Dig it in the mountains?"
Grandpa was a little puzzled. Wine was usually buried in his own yard, and the two jars of wine seemed to be well sealed. He should be a person who knew wine, but burying wine in the mountains was against common sense.
Grandpa has lived in the village for so many years, but he has never heard of anyone digging a wine cellar in the mountains to bury wine.
Wang Xiaoshan: "Well, they were dug in the mountains. Judging from the wine seals, these two jars of wine were sealed more than 200 years ago!"
Two hundred years ago, grandpa was not sure whether this village had a history of 200 years. Grandpa even looked at the wine seal, but he didn't see any clues.
I’ve seen 50- and 60-year-old baijiu before, but I’ve only seen 100-year-old baijiu in TV series. In reality, this kind of bar may only exist in century-old distilleries.
Wang Xiaoshan: "Two jars of wine, one jar is for you to drink. If someone takes the other jar, I will sell it!"
Grandpa: "I'd better keep the 200-year-old wine, and I'd rather drink the bottled liquor!"
The old man is a little reluctant to drink it. He has been too old to drink it.
Wang Xiaoshan: "Drink it. Isn't it just for drinking? There is a lot of wine in the jar."
Grandpa is a little excited and wants to taste the taste of hundreds of years old wine.
Grandpa: "Okay, let's try it another day!"
Wang Xiaoshan moved two jars of liquor into the house, then sat in the yard and chatted with the winery owner who sent him a private message during the day. When he came back, he had already added the other person's e-mail.
The owner of the winery said that he was unable to determine whether the wine dug by Wang Xiaoshan was well preserved, whether it was still drinkable, and what its quality was, so he could not give a valuation for the wine.
But the owner of the winery said that if Wang Xiaoshan is willing to sell, he can get it to his factory for testing. If there is no problem with the wine, he is willing to buy it.
It seems that it is a bit difficult to deal with liquor without testing this time. It is also troublesome not to have a car. It is inconvenient to go out with a jar of wine.
If he opened the wine jar and just took the loose wine with him, Wang Xiaoshan didn't know how to seal it. In the end, he had no choice but to go find his second uncle and ask him to drive him to the winery tomorrow.
Fortunately, this winery is not very far from Wang Xiaoshan's home. It takes about 3 hours' drive to get there. We set off early in the morning and came back in the afternoon.
There is no problem with the second uncle. Wang Xiaoshan sent another message to the winery owner and went to the winery tomorrow to test the old wine.
If there are no problems with the test tomorrow and the price offered by the other party is also suitable, Wang Xiaoshan will be ready to sell it. If it is not suitable, he will find another one.
Wang Xiaoshan really needs to take a look at the car some other time. If the cargo is too big to be carried on a motorcycle, or if there are high-speed rails or planes that do not allow carrying cargo, you can drive.
After arranging tomorrow's itinerary, Wang Xiaoshan went to tie up the puppy. There was no rope tied up in the past few days, and the puppy was peeing and peeing everywhere in the yard.
After dinner in the evening, Wang Xiaoshan went back to the house early. He made an appointment with his second uncle to leave at 8 a.m. tomorrow. If he goes there early, he can come back early.
......
Early the next morning, Wang Xiaoshan was in a hurry and didn't make breakfast, so he bought some outside. After eating, he went to find his second uncle with the wine jar.
Fortunately, the wine jar is not big, so it is not easy to put it in the car. The trunk cannot fit the wine jar, so it was finally placed on the back seat.
The second uncle thought it was a small jar that could hold 5 kilograms, but when he saw it, he realized that it was actually a wine jar that could hold 20 kilograms. After loading the wine jar, the two set off.
There was no traffic jam on the road, and the second uncle drove fast. They arrived at the winery in less than 3 hours.
The owner of the winery had already greeted them yesterday, and there would be someone to greet them when they arrived.
The two waited in the reception room for a while, and a middle-aged man about 50 years old walked in from outside the reception room.
"Hello, Lao Wang, I am Sun Guangqing." Sun Guangqing said.
Wang Xiaoshan: "Hello, Sun Changzi."
Wang Xiaoshan introduced his second uncle to the other party, and then the two parties chatted politely for a while.
Wang Xiaoshan: "This is the jar of liquor dug out yesterday, please show Director Sun a look!"
After chatting for a while, Wang Xiaoshan found out that Sun Guangqing was not only the director of the winery, but he was also born in a family of winemakers and was very familiar with liquor culture.
Sun Guangqing checked the seal and then looked at the seal, but from the jar and the seal, it could be seen that the jar of wine was quite old.
Yesterday, Wang Xiaoshan mentioned the age of this wine in the live broadcast room. Sun Guangqing carefully read the seal and determined from the handwriting of Mohu that this jar of wine had indeed been sealed for more than 200 years.
After looking at the appearance and sealing, the only thing left is to open the forum. Wang Xiaoshan must agree to this. Not everyone is willing to open the forum for testing.
Sun Guangqing: "Old Wang, this jar of old wine can be confirmed to be more than 200 years old from the wine seal. Whether the wine inside is bad needs to be opened and tested, and it can only be determined through tasting."
Wang Xiaoshan: "Will it affect my sales after opening it?"
This is the issue that Wang Xiaoshan is most concerned about. The shadow after opening the wine jar will not affect his subsequent sales. He is more concerned about the price.
Sun Guangqing: "It's hard to say this. Some people value old wines for their collection value, but some people value the drinking value more in order to enjoy the pleasure brought by quality."
Sun Guangqing paused and continued: "And the value will decrease after opening, but if you don't open it, you won't know whether the wine is bad or not."
If it is a wine bottle, it is easier to tell. There is some information about the wine on it. You can know what kind of wine it is, how much alcohol it is, and who the manufacturer is. However, wine jars generally do not have such detailed information.
Wang Xiaoshan felt that it would be impossible if he didn't open it, and there was also a jar of wine for his grandfather to drink. If he opened it and tested it, he could safely let the old man drink it.
Sun Guangqing saw that Wang Xiaoshan was hesitant, and then said: "If there is no problem with the liquor inside after opening it, I am willing to buy it."
If the wine inside is good, Sun Guangqing really wants to buy it, but now he doesn't know whether the wine jar contains high-alcohol wine or low-alcohol wine, and whether it has gone bad. No one wants to buy a wine jar that has gone bad.
This sentence also dispelled Wang Xiaoshan's worries. He was not afraid of opening it, but was afraid that no one would buy it after opening it.
Wang Xiaoshan: "Then open it and ask Sun Changzi to help you check it!"
Since Wang Xiaoshan agreed, Sun Guangqing made a phone call. After waiting for a while, several workers came in from outside the door, and then began to remove the seal on the wine jar.
