The sage said well, if you listen to the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening.
Seeing that there was a better brewing technique, it was impossible for An Yunying not to be tempted. But skills are not taught lightly. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that Kitahara Shuji would not be able to teach him the secret techniques he had painstakingly studied so easily.
Generally speaking, in brewing, you have to do the rice washing and rice washing for three years first, and then work your way up step by step. Only after you have worked for another ten or eight years, and you are truly trusted, can you understand how the core processes operate.
What's more, this skill also involves huge benefits.
Based on An Yunyingsuke's understanding of the sake industry, as long as Kitahara Shuji sends the wine to the competition, the door of Junmi House will be knocked down by a swarm of brewery bosses.
Everyone wants their own wine to be the best, and if the wine-making industry does well and becomes famous, it will really be huge profits. If you don't look at the history, just issuing a "prohibition order" will not stop illegal brewing!
In the history of mankind, tens of thousands of heads have been chopped off in pursuit of this huge profit.
And even if it is not for this huge profit, as long as you are a brewer, you will definitely be curious about the difference between Kitahara Shuji's brewing process and your own, and you will definitely want to try the new koji in his hand, or even the ones in his cellar.
I want to dig out the mud and examine it carefully.
In this case, after the first request failed, An Yunyingsuke felt that begging and stalking would not be effective at all, so he bribed Kitahara Shuji...Looking at the prosperity of Chunmi House's business, he didn't think so either.
He had the capital, so he could only hope to be introduced by an acquaintance - he did not dare to expect Kitahara Shuji to hand over the music directly to him, but it would be great to let him watch the brewing process and give some personal guidance.
It would be even better if I could work as a consultant for his sake brewery and push the quality of "Yukimi Dongzang" to the top in one fell swoop. Even with quality as a foundation, the previous bad reputation can be ignored.
Don't say good wine is afraid of deep alleys. Those who are afraid of deep alleys are definitely not good wines. The power of alcoholics is infinite. If there is really good wine in deep alleys, drunkards can level the alleys.
As long as the quality of the wine is really good, drunkards will naturally come to your door and you can't stop them.
He hopes that his daughter can be a friend of Kitahara Shuji, and that her daughter can act as an introducer so that Kitahara Shuji can allow him to work for free and learn some skills. However, An Yun'ai is a little confused. She has just transferred to another school and can become ordinary friends with the girls.
It's amazing, there's no way this boy can do it.
She quickly shook her head: "I'm just a classmate, not very familiar with him."
An Yunying was disappointed for a while: "Ah, that's it..."
An Yunai looked at the wine bottle in her father's hand and asked hesitantly: "Dad, do you really want to ask Beihara-san to work in a sake brewery?"
She also heard that An Yuyingsuke asked Kitahara Shuji to be a brewing consultant. She only thought it was because he wanted to ask Kitahara Shuji to work part-time or because he was interested in talents. She did not think of anything else - her father's brewing time should be the same as Kitahara's.
Xiuji has lived almost as long, so he can't be sure that his father has been brewing wine for so many years and the wine has been brewed on dogs, right?
The consultant should have a nice name, and essentially he should want to be accepted as a disciple.
An Yunyingsuke was stunned for a moment and said bluntly: "No, I want to learn wine-making techniques from Kitahara-san!"
An Yun'ai was stunned and speechless. Have you really brewed wine on a dog in the past ten years? She hesitated for a moment, not believing it, and asked: "Is he... very good at brewing wine?"
This makes no sense. My father is a master of winemaking and has won an association award. How could he learn the craft from a seventeen-year-old boy?
An Yunyingsuke stroked the wine bottle lovingly and said softly: "This cannot be said to be amazing, it should be said to be extraordinary. Ai-chan, you don't understand, a real winemaker will get to know another winemaker through wine..."
He slowly closed his eyes and murmured softly: "Through this bottle of wine, I can see the real Kitahara-san! He is a tenacious fighter and an amazing person! He is not afraid of failure and is willing to take the initiative to face difficulties.
On the other hand, he will rack his brains for excellence, strive for excellence, and do everything possible to achieve perfection - this is a painful journey. Onlookers will think he is a fool, laugh at him, sympathize with him, pity him, and those who work together
Companions will be unable to bear to try again and again, curse him, hate him, hate him, but the moment this bottle of wine comes out, everything changes, everyone needs to worship him, be grateful to him, and praise him!"
He slowly opened his eyes again, "He chose to transcend. When the path of his predecessors came to an end, he did not feel complacent. Instead, he overcame obstacles and opened up a new world, allowing this wine to reach the highest level. What's even more admirable is
However, he did not show off his success to the world in a hurry, nor was he blinded by money... In order to make the wine perfect, he properly cellared it for two to three years. This is amazing, it is hard to imagine a teenager
The young man can achieve such a level, his soul as a winemaker is impeccable, and people can’t help but admire him! At that time, he was about the same size as your brother, look at him, and then look at your brother..."
He was indeed inspired. He believed that this wine was brewed by Kitahara Hideji. Based on Kitahara Hideji's cooking skills alone, he did not believe that Kitahara Hideji would be a person who talked nonsense and bragged. But he could not imagine a seventeen-year-old
How did the boy reach such double heights?
It's just that the facts are right in front of him, and he has to believe them even if he doesn't believe them. He just sighs that some people are born to create miracles, to become the belief of a certain group of people, and to exist by cheering and singing praises.
In his opinion, this bottle of wine is only slightly better than those famous wines of mythical and legendary level. It should be the ultimate state that human beings can reach. Anyway, he has never drunk such a "perfect" sake. Kitahara
Showetsu deserves this kind of evaluation.
And he also has children. Now look at the Kitahara brothers and sisters. One is seventeen years old and the other is fifteen. They are already independent at a young age. They are capable of what others cannot do. Let’s not mention his own daughter. She is very hardworking and motivated. In the modeling industry
He is slightly famous, but he gets angry when his son is asked to carry rice without pay... Isn't this a waste of time?
The hardships, fatigue, and grievances that the Beiyuan brothers and sisters have endured are not a hundred times worse than carrying rice. They don’t want to suffer this little pain. This son is absolutely useless. I will beat him tomorrow.
Until you carry rice!
An Yun'ai listened, her big beautiful eyes slowly widening. She had never heard her father praise someone like this before, and she immediately looked in awe at the half bottle of wine.
A man of literary ability, a reserve member of a prestigious school, a martial artist of Capture the Flag, dominating all of Japan, and a part-time job as a chef at a famous restaurant. Will he still be a master of brewing in the end? What else can he do in a few days?
I should be among the top batch of college students, right? Why do I suddenly feel that I am a head shorter?
Could it be that the quality of universities in Tokyo is not good enough, and universities in Nagoya are the battlefield for the elite?
She lost her voice for a moment, but An Yunying got her mind back on track after thinking about her son, "In the brewing industry, wine is the only truth, so don't be surprised, Ai-chan. Kitahara-san brewed perfect sake, then
He is worthy of respect from any winemaker and worthy of learning from him, so..."
An Yunai suddenly understood and asked softly: "Do you hope that I can ask Beiyuan to give you some advice?" She felt very embarrassed. She was not familiar with this and it was difficult to speak. "Dad, can't you introduce me through someone else?"
?”
An Yunyingsuke shook his head, but looked at his daughter expectantly - Kitahara Shuji has not yet publicly sold this perfect sake, so no one should know that Kitahara Shuji's brewing skills are so good, and he does not want to share this secret with others.
.
At least until he gets some guidance, he doesn't want to create dozens more competitors.
Looking at her father's expectant eyes, An Yunai thought for a while and could only say reluctantly: "Okay, I'll try my best."
Dad doesn’t have any other hobbies, he just likes to make wine. As a daughter, she should help out when she’s in trouble.
"Please, daughter, we must succeed!" An Yunying cheered up and prepared to buy new clothes, new shoes, and new bags for her daughter. Anyway, she will give her son a Spartan education in the future, and the pocket money should also be cancelled.
If it falls, then let’s turn it to my daughter.
…………
The next day, An Yunai gritted her teeth and went to school under her father's expectant eyes.
Today is Saturday, and there are only half-day classes. The atmosphere in the school is relatively relaxed. Many people are discussing what activities to do in the afternoon. An Yunai nods all the way and gives angelic smiles to those who take the initiative to greet her, which makes these
People are in a good mood at the beginning of the day.
When she entered the Class B classroom, she looked for Kitahara Hideji at first glance, and found that it was still the same - Kitahara Hideji's small group was still together.
Japanese universities like to create cliques, with small cliques within a big circle. Once established, it usually lasts for three years and is basically unbreakable. If she were in this class in this academy as soon as the university started, she would feel like she would naturally fit in.
There is no problem with Kitahara Shuji's circle, but this circle is fixed, and if you want to squeeze in again, it will be a bit of a waste of effort.
When she passed by Kitahara Hideji, she smiled and said hello: "Kitahara-san, you worked hard last night. Thank you for the hospitality."
Kitahara Shuji turned around in surprise and said politely: "It's not a treat. Are you satisfied with it, classmate An Yun?"
Although this kind of customer who is happy to spend money is a little annoying, he is not too much.
"The cooking is excellent! By the way, the wine seems to be brewed by Kitahara-san, right?" An Yunai praised her and then blinked, asking curiously.
Kitahara Hideji nodded and said with a smile: "There is not much brew, Mr. An Yun will have to wait until later if he wants to drink more."
There are still fifteen bottles left, and he plans to keep them for later entertaining particularly picky guests, and sell them at a super high price. This is considered a revenge to rip off customers. He doesn't want to spend any more money on An Yunyingzhu - it's a bit embarrassing to rip him off, and he wants to drink it.
I’ll talk about it later when I can make my own spring vegetables.
An Yun'ai once again confirmed that the wine was indeed brewed by Kitahara Shuji. She wanted to directly tell her father's request, but hesitated for a moment and did not say it.
Yuma Uchida and Ritsu Shikishima were watching curiously. On the one hand, they felt a bit embarrassed. On the other hand, she felt that if she said it now, she might be rejected by Kitahara Shuji, and it would be even harder to ask for it in the future.
The relationship must be more familiar, and the request must be successful, and you must also think about what to exchange for the request, and you must not let him take advantage of you.
As an angel, of course you have to be pure and innocent, and having a boyfriend is not an option.
She smiled sweetly at Kitahara Shuji, greeted Uchida and Shikishima softly, and went to sit down in her seat.
Okay, now the question is how to get more familiar with this guy... This is really a problem!
