Chapter 1: Cider
Chapter 101 Cider
After thinking about it, Xiao Yu still thought that it was indeed inappropriate not to go out with Liu Xiaogang during this winter vacation. Although he had promised him, he did not think so carefully at that time. Moreover, there was a more important thing to do during this winter vacation, that is, to make a peach wood sword.
"Brother Liu, why don't you wait. I still have very important things to do during the winter vacation. You work in the ancient tomb of the back mountain and don't go home, and you don't have to hurry in the past few months. By next summer vacation, I will definitely go, how about it?"
Liu Xiaogang was going to say something, but Xiao Qiang walked in and said, "Classmates, come on, have a bite of hot rice. After walking for several hours, I'm all hungry."
"Uncle, I'm really troubled you..." Ding Xue said politely.
"Hey, is there any trouble? There is nothing delicious in the countryside, don't dislike it," Xiao Qiang said with a smile.
After being interrupted by Xiao Qiang, Liu Xiaogang didn't say anything, so he followed Xiao Qiang to the main hall. At this time, there was an Eight Immortals table in the main hall, and the tabletop was filled with a basin of charcoal fire and the red flames baked the house very warmly.
"Wow, so many delicious foods," Liu Xiaogang said excitedly.
Ding Xue touched Ajie at this time and whispered, "I said I wanted to buy something. Now I'm so embarrassed to let Xiao Yu's parents treat her like this."
Liu Xiaogang listened on the side, but said disapprovingly, "What are you buying? The grades of those tobacco and alcohol are too low, and it's embarrassing to take them out. It's better to come empty-handed and not have the identity."
"What do you Mr. Liu know? Do you understand the worldly style?" Ding Xue muttered angrily, then hurried to the kitchen to greet Xiao Yu's parents for dinner.
Xiao Yu found a large pot, filled a pot of fruit wine, then poured it into a teapot, added ginger and green onions, and placed it on a charcoal fire. The fruit wine and ginger and green onions have the effect of driving away the cold. In this Shimo Village, cider is the most in short supply, so it is also an indispensable thing for every family to eat.
Xiao Yu's parents had eaten, and they were not familiar with Liu Xiaogang, so Ding Xue called him many times, but they didn't come. Xiao Yu finally went to shout him a few times, but Xiao Qiang still didn't come. He said that everyone was uncomfortable sitting together when they came, and Xiao Yu had no choice but to start the meal with Liu Xiaogang and the others.
"Okay, everyone eat quickly, it will be cold again later," Xiao Yu urged.
"That's right, eat quickly. I want to eat the chicken head. Don't be too strong with me." Ajie first put the chopsticks into the basin, pressed the chicken head, and said proudly.
"Hey, don't you like to eat blackheads? Why have you become a chickenhead again?" Liu Xiaogang joked.
"Get out, you love to eat and return home." Ajie glared at Liu Xiaogang, happily put the chicken head into the bowl, and then looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Xiao Yu, this Liu Xiaogang is not good, don't go out with him, you will go to Xi'an in the future, Brother Ajie will take you to play."
Xiao Yu looked at the few people and just smiled, then picked up the teapot and poured wine for them. Because there were not many guests at home, he usually used small bowls to drink, which was not very elegant.
When the wine was poured out, a sweet and sour aroma of apples suddenly filled with it, which immediately made several people's eyes lit up, especially Ding Xue said, "What kind of wine is so fragrant."
"It's cider, my mom makes it, you can try it," said Xiao Yu.
Liu Xiaogang held the bowl and blew the heat while saying, "Citrine? I have drunk Maotai and Xifeng, but I have never drunk this thing."
"Wow, it tastes sour and sweet, I like it." Ding Xue took a sip, then her eyes lit up, and she immediately said excitedly.
"That's right, this tastes good, but the degree is a little low," Ajie also exclaimed.
After hearing their praise, Xiao Yu was not only a little proud, but this cider has been brewing for more than ten years. Although they cannot compare with those of the elderly, they are also very famous in this village.
"Xiao Yu, is there any wine left? Can you sell it to me?" Ajie said suddenly.
Xiao Yu was stunned, but then said, "Yes, there are two more cylinders. I have drunk three cylinders after repairing the house. Now there are not many."
Xiao Yu also knows that cider can be sold for money, but there is no sales. Generally, when collecting apples, people from other places buy some, but basically don’t sell anything else, so they can only keep it for themselves to drink.
"How many pounds are a tank?" Ajie said while eating the chicken head.
How many pounds does a tank of cider look like it is about 80 pounds, but the apple pomaces that are taken out of the tank of cider are probably fifty pounds.
"It seems to be fifty kilograms," Xiao Yu answered truthfully.
Liu Xiaogang had already drunk several large bowls at this time and muttered with oily mouth, "Ajie, why do you want so much wine? Your home is not a supermarket."
"Okay, I've asked for fifty kilograms, how much does it cost per kilogram?" Ajie said.
Xiao Yu didn't dare to make decisions by himself at this time, and hurriedly said, "I don't know this, I'm going to ask my dad."
Ajie nodded and said, "Okay, ask your dad. If it is appropriate, I will ask for your cider in the future."
Now it was not only Xiao Yu, but even Liu Xiaogang was shocked and said, "You are crazy. Although this wine is good, it is not produced by a regular manufacturer and is not allowed to be circulated. Do you still want to use your aunt's strength to sell these wines to major hotels?"
Liu Xiao seemed to be very familiar with Ajie, and even said Ajie's aunt in one word.
However, Ajie did not deny it, but nodded and said, "What's wrong? I'll find a source of goods for him and sell it. Isn't it okay for each of us to make their own money? Don't think that you can do business, I'm very smart."
At this moment, Liu Xiaogang didn't say anything, holding a steamed bun in one hand and giving Ajie a thumbs up with the other, which was considered to be agreeing with Ajie's approach.
Some people have to contract the cider at home. This is a big order. If it can be done, then there is no need to grow apples in the future. They directly recycle apples to process fruit wine. Isn’t this easier to make money?
When Xiao Yu told Xiao Qiang about this, Xiao Qiang was also very surprised and immediately said, "Since he is going to help us discuss business, this jar of wine will be free of money, so I will give it to him directly. If the negotiation is done, he will be our great nobleman."
Seeing Xiao Qiang's excited look on his face, Xiao Yu hurriedly said, "But I heard from Brother Liu that it is not a regular manufacturer's thing and the country does not allow it to be circulated. Will something happen?"
"Don't worry about it for now. It's not worth it anyway. I'll give it to him first. Let's talk about what happened next." Xiao Qiang didn't know where the courage came from at this time, but he actually left the country's policies behind.
In order to make it difficult for Ajie to take this matter to heart, Xiao Qiang came forward and talked with Ajie for a while. Finally, Xiao Yu understood it. It turned out that Ajie was like being a second-hand dealer. He bought the wine from here and then increased the price to his aunt. Her aunt was giving it to the nine o'clock table. Of course, the wool still needs to be paid by consumers.
There is only the circulation issue, which involves food safety issues, so Ajie has to go back and ask his aunt, but he has made a promise and this matter will definitely be done! And Ajie also pointed out the way for Xiao Yu and asked him to find Officer Sun. As long as Officer Sun comes forward, it will not take a minute to get the license.
"Brother Ajie, can this work? Do you still have to give gifts when looking for Officer Sun?" Xiao Yu said.
Ding Xue also put down her chopsticks and said, "If someone else looks for him, he must accept gifts, but if you look for him, he will never accept it."
“Why?”
"Because you are a Taoist priest, you can see things that he cannot see, it's that simple," Ding Xue said with a smile.
Xiao Yu understood this time, but after hearing Ding Xue's words, Xiao Yu thought that when he went to Muma Village, Old Dao Li seemed to have made a statement for Officer Sun. I'm afraid the other party is still thinking about it now. If this is the case, this may really happen.
