Xia Haoran casually walked forward for more than ten meters. Suddenly, a billboard came into view. To be precise, it was a sentence written on the billboard that piqued his interest.
"Brew your own wine if it doesn't taste good; if you make wine using local methods, it will taste good but not intoxicating."
The literal meaning of this sentence is easy to understand. If you are not used to drinking other wines, then you will only drink the wine you brew using local methods. Moreover, it seems that the wine this guy brews using local methods is not bad.
Xia Haoran, a native winemaker, has heard that people in the countryside usually like to make their own wine using traditional wine-making techniques using various food crops. This kind of wine is also called "forced wine", which means to force wine from food crops.
, some people vividly jokingly call it "pouring sweat". Because they use local methods to make wine, and finally use local methods to distill the wine, which drips down drop by drop, much like the sweat drops dropped by farmers' uncles when they work hard.
Usually, one hundred kilograms of fermented sorghum koji can produce about 50 kilograms of wine. These local wines are not only popular among local people, but the remaining part is also sold abroad. It is said that the price is very popular.
Looking at it, the stall in front of me is also selling kebabs. However, although this stall has its own unique approach (only drinking home-brewed wine), there are not many diners, and the business is obviously not as good as that of the previous stall selling mutton kebabs.
Hot.
The corners of Xia Haoran's mouth formed a beautiful curve, and he stepped forward slowly and said: "Boss, here are 20 skewers, and a pound of your home-brewed wine." After saying that, he went straight to an empty table.
go to the table.
"Okay, please wait a moment, little brother. You'll be ready soon!"
The boss who spoke to him was a middle-aged man in his forties, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a full beard. There was also a middle-aged woman in plain clothes next to him. Xia Haoran guessed that this must be the boss's wife.
Soon, the wine was brought.
Xia Haoran took it in his hand and took a look. It was also in a glass bottle. The color was not as clear and transparent as the liquor sold on the market.
Open the cork of the bottle, and immediately, a long and mellow aroma of wine overflows.
Xia Haoran took a deep breath. Although he was not a heavy drinker, he could still be considered a lover of wine. At least, he could tell which wines were good and which ones were not of high quality.
Before tasting the wine, the wine smells good!
"It is indeed a good wine!" Xia Haoran nodded slightly.
He grabbed the wine bottle and poured a glass. After picking up the wine glass, Xia Haoran shook it gently a few times, then nodded and shook his head. Then he took a small sip, letting the wine roll in his mouth and touch it all over his mouth.
Any part that can absorb the sensation will only be swallowed in one gulp when the fragrance is lingering in your mouth.
Finally, gently close your eyes and savor the wonderful feeling brought by the wine!
"good!"
The taste is good, but the workmanship is still not refined enough. However, it is very good to be able to use the most basic raw materials and the most primitive craftsmanship to achieve this step.
Xia Haoran slowly ate skewers and drank wine while secretly sizing up the bearded boss (he will be called the bearded man from now on).
After all, most of the night market stalls are young men and women.
Chasing social trends and pursuing excitement, they generally rarely choose to drink this kind of self-brewed wine with a temperature of about 35°C. Moreover, even if there are people, Xia Haoran estimates that they can drink a pound of it in one go like him, then
There are definitely only a handful of them.
After all, most people at this night market are just having fun, not drinking. On such occasions, beers with lower alcohol content, drafts, etc. are more refreshing and more acceptable to everyone.
.
Therefore, the business of Da Beard's stall is destined not to be too prosperous.
Let's observe him for a while first. If he is really a useful talent, he will inevitably have to run again in the future.
In Xia Haoran's business blueprint, wine is also a major project. Because he also found several ancient wine brewing recipes from Tian Yuanzi's memory. And Xia Haoran believes that these things that originally belonged to the world of cultivation are absolutely
They are all good things. If you can really get rid of them, you will definitely make a lot of money!
"What's your name, boss?" Xia Haoran stepped forward and asked while taking advantage of the checkout moment.
"Zhou Mingming." The bearded man responded gruffly.
Xia Haoran said casually: "It turns out to be Boss Zhou, the wine is pretty good!"
The bearded man said quickly: "Haha, the secret recipe of wine making passed down from our ancestors. I have been making wine with my father since I was a child. Later, he passed away and returned to the west. In order to make a living, I gave up the wine shop at home and went out to do some business to make a living."
"Oh, not bad! Work hard and we will meet again if we have a chance." Xia Haoran finished speaking and walked out.
Back at the hotel, Xia Haoran simply freshened up and went to bed. To be honest, he was really exhausted from running around today.
In the early morning of the next day, Xia Haoran was woken up from his sleep by a burst of cell phone ringing.
"Who?" Xia Haoran asked.
"Hello! I'm Liu Yu. I want to talk to you." A voice mixed with anxiety, anxiety and relief came from the other end of the phone.
"Okay. In 10 minutes, come to room 808 of the hotel yesterday." Xia Haoran hung up the phone after saying that. After thinking about it, he called the hotel front desk and asked the waiter to deliver breakfast for two to the room.
Come.
After washing up, Xia Haoran just lay down on the sofa in the living room when breakfast was served. He asked the waiter to put the breakfast on the coffee table, took out another Mao Zedong and handed it over. The waiter took the tip and thanked him very much.
Withdrew.
After a while, there was a knock on the door outside. Xia Haoran knew that Liu Yu had arrived.
"Have you thought about it?"
Xia Haoran asked calmly.
Liu Yu had dark circles under his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I have thought about it. I can promise you to do things for you. But there is one thing, I will never do anything that violates laws and disciplines!"
"Okay! I feel sincerity from your words."
Xia Haoran clapped his hands and said with a slight smile: "You haven't had breakfast? Come on, let's sit down and eat and talk."
After sitting down, Xia Haoran said: "I said, I just want to set up a security company to protect my company and my family, so there will be no violations of law and discipline. Of course, if others offend us without opening their eyes,
, then treat it like a tooth for a tooth and give the enemy a swift blow and iron-blooded revenge!"
After a pause, Xia Haoran continued: "The strength of your special forces may be considered somewhat capable for ordinary people, but in front of me, it is not even as good as an ant. If there is not really a shortage of people, you are the only one."
I really don’t like people like this. So, for those of you who agree to work with me, after the new year, I will dedicate 1-3 months to give you a period of special training.”
Seeing Liu Yu's unconvinced look, Xia Haoran glanced at him and said lightly: "Don't be unconvinced, what I said is all true. The world is very big and complex, and there are many levels of things. You
I haven’t come into contact with them at all, so I can’t appreciate their terror and power.”
Liu Yu was completely shocked.
Yesterday's heart palpitations made him clearly understand that the young man in front of him was not lying. He was indeed incomparable to him, even worse than an ant. Speaking of which, he had seen countless opponents over the years, but there was no one like him.
He can exude such a dangerous aura.
This is the intuition of an excellent special forces soldier!
"who are you?"
"My name is Xia Haoran. You can call me boss." Xia Haoran smiled slightly, showing his white teeth.
"Well, since you agreed to work for me, you will be mine from now on. Go and quit your job later, because next, you will start working for me."
Then, Xia Haoran waved his hand, and a suitcase flew from the corner not far away and landed gently in Xia Haoran's hand.
This scene shocked Liu Yu to the point where he stood up and rubbed his eyes violently, looking as if he had seen a ghost. Even the chopsticks in his hands fell to the ground unconsciously...
"you you……"
"Okay, don't look like you're making a fuss. This move is called 'photography from the air', you'll know about it later." Xia Haoran seemed to have revealed this move accidentally, but in fact he did it intentionally. The purpose was to let people know.
The other party understands what real power is, and also reveals a message: as long as you follow me and do things for me, you will have such power in the future.
It was Xia Haoran's inadvertent scene that strengthened Liu Yu's determination!
Xia Haoran threw the suitcase in his hand to Liu Yu and said calmly: "Open it and take a look."
"What is this?" Liu Yu took the suitcase and opened it, and the expression on his face suddenly became wonderful. There was disbelief, but also a bit of surprise.
It took quite a while.
He slowly looked at Xia Haoran and said seriously: "Boss, what is this?"
Xia Haoran glanced at him and said calmly: "There are 100,000 in cash in the suitcase. 20,000 of them are your salary this month, and the remaining 80,000 are your expenses."
After a pause, Xia Haoran continued: "In that folder is a list of special forces soldiers who have retired from some military regions in China in the past two years. There are more than 120 people on it. Your mission: recruit 20-40 people for me.
I only have one requirement: absolute loyalty! Therefore, when recruiting people, you have to check their character for me. Of course, this list is only part of it. If you have other channels, just
Anyone under 30 years old can contact us.”
Liu Yu looked at the list of retired special forces soldiers in his hand and asked in surprise: "Do you believe me so much?"
Xia Haoran said lightly: "Don't doubt people, don't doubt people. In the eyes of many people, millions or tens of millions may be an astronomical figure, but in my opinion, it's just a small amount of money, not to mention this mere ten thousand dollars."
Ten thousand yuan? Besides, I think it’s quite a deal to use this little money to give you a test.”
