Hong Huairen hesitated for a moment, and then said sincerely: "If it were someone else, I would have accepted this money, but it was Zheng Gongzi, and it only took seven hundred yuan." ”

No, only 700?

Someone else pushes money out?

In Zheng Peng's puzzled gaze, Hong Huairen said frankly: "Zheng Gongzi, these daughters are red, they are ten years old, and the year is not old enough, and some of them may not be brewed well, and I dare not guarantee that every jar is good wine, so I deliberately reduce it, so as not to bury bad wine." ”

This is the celebrity effect, Zheng Peng said briskly: "It is rare for Hong Gongzi to be high-minded, just seven thousand." ”

The delivery went smoothly, the money was collected, and the contract was signed, but Hong Huairen simply left the key and left.

Zheng Peng immediately asked Chen Liang and Lu Ping to take over here and began to prepare for winemaking.

"Uncle, where is this piece placed?" Cui Er asked, holding the plaque of "Drunken Eight Immortals".

Zheng Peng looked at the somewhat rotten and dusty plaque, shook his head and said, "It's useless, you can dispose of it." ”

It's hard to fight the country, it's even more difficult to keep the country, look at this signboard, I don't know how long it hasn't been wiped off, when Hong Huairen left, he didn't even take off the plaque, and he abandoned it, which shows that he doesn't care about this winery at all, otherwise he won't sell it.

Cui Er answered, and then asked in a low voice: "Uncle, the plaque of this winery has been removed, you give it a name, and the old slave has someone make a good plaque and hang it up." ”

"Name?" Zheng Peng waved his hand and said, "Gonggong Gao has taken so many shares, and he is responsible for this plaque." ”

"Yes, yes, it's safer for Gao Gonggong to do this." Cui Er echoed.

A good plaque can not only enhance the reputation of the business, but also a talisman, if someone wants to attack it, they have to weigh it themselves when they see the words on the plaque.

As soon as he finished dealing with the plaque, Li Bai hurriedly ran over and said expectantly: "The owner, the winery has been bought?" ”

"Xiaobai, why, did you wake up now?" Zheng Peng said with a smile.

Li Bai said a little embarrassedly: "I drank a little too much last night, Dongjia, did you take it?" ”

When he woke up and found that there was no one at home, Li Bai heard that Zheng Peng was going to buy a wine shop, so he hurried over.

"Seven thousand, I won." Zheng Peng said lightly.

"The owner" Li Bai rubbed his hands and said: "This drunken Eight Immortals wine shop is a time-honored brand, is there any wine in the press?" ”

What is the price, Li Bai is not interested, anyway, it has nothing to do with him, for Li Bai, making friends with nobles and drinking fine wine are his two favorite things, so in a hurry, it is to find some good wine from this time-honored store.

Zheng Peng had already guessed his intention, and he didn't care when he heard the words, so he pointed in a direction casually: "It's nothing to store wine, it's more than a hundred jars of ten years of daughter red, the taste is not bad, you have to drink it yourself." ”

"Hehe, the owner, then you are busy first, Taibai will taste the press room wine for you."

Li Bai was not polite, and after speaking, he went to find wine to drink.

This is Chen Liang coming over and discussing some problems with Zheng Peng about the winery, Zheng Peng said directly: "In the end, the small courtyard was left to me, and in other places, you can change it as you want, and ask for money to find Steward Cui." ”

There is a secluded courtyard behind the winery, which was originally used to store wine, Zheng Peng liked it, and was ready to change it into a distillation room, and then it would be distilled in it.

"Understood, young master." Chen Liang said happily.

"Okay, let's get busy, remember not to be afraid of waste, try more methods, just follow the path that Young Master Ben said, or don't brew, and you have to ask for good wine, understand."

Chen Liang said with a resolute face: "Young master, don't worry, the old slave will definitely make wine that satisfies the young master." ”

As soon as Chen Liang was sent here, Zheng Peng hadn't breathed a sigh of relief, only to see someone shouting, "It's not good, it's not good." ”

Turning his head to look, he saw Li Bai running out of the warehouse in a hurry, saw Zheng Peng, and said loudly: "Dongjia, it's not good, it's not good." ”

Zheng Peng frowned and said, "What's bad?" I just got off the winery, and I have a good talk. ”

Li Bai didn't care so much, and asked directly: "Owner, just now you said that the wine cellar has a daughter of ten years, Hong, who is the pressure of the wine shop?" ”

"That's right."

"Boss, how many cellars does this winery have?"

"Just one, didn't you just go down?

Li Bai patted his thigh and said: "The owner, you have been calculated, just went below to find the altar daughter Hong, picked up a jar casually, at that time I felt that the mud sealing was a little strange, unlike the mud sealing of the previous year, open it and see, it is the cheapest farmer's muddy wine, it is not well sealed, the wine is still broken, I thought it was accidentally misplaced, and more than ten jars were opened in a row. ”

And this kind of thing?

"No, that Hong Gongzi, it looks very easy to talk, we have tasted it too." Cui Er, who was on the side, heard it and said in disbelief.

Zheng Peng said as he walked: "Let's go, just look at it." ”

There were torches and lanterns hanging in the wine cellar, Zheng Peng saw that there were several jars of wine jars with open mud next to his daughter red, and before he could check it, his heart began to beat the drum.

With so many jars open, in such a closed space, the aroma of wine should be very strong, however, there is a smell of inferior water wine floating in the air.

grabbed a jar casually, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, Zheng Peng almost didn't vomit: this is a jar of bad wine, and it has a sour taste.

Without Zheng Peng's orders, Cui Er began to check:

"This jar of wine will not work."

"Ordinary water wine."

"Don't look at it, this mud hasn't dried all yet, and it won't be ten years of wine at first glance."

"Hey, this jar of wine is good."

Cui Eryi slapped several jars of wine in a row, and said with a depressed face after hearing it: "Uncle, Li Gongzi is right, we are surnamed Hong." ”

Obviously, Hong Huairen knew which jar was good wine, and the wine he picked up casually was the good wine he had placed in advance, and he didn't check it carefully at that time, which allowed him to take advantage of the loophole.

Zheng Peng walked over, grabbed a jar of wine in the middle, skillfully patted the sealing mud, smelled it, and then said coldly: "Okay, I played a trick for Young Master Ben to secretly cross Chen Cang on the plank road, you are ruthless." ”

When Hong Huairen was delivered, there was no problem with all kinds of utensils and food, but where there was any shortage, he also took the initiative to put it forward, and he was very sincere, and only after negotiating the price did he say that he would move away the old wine, and deliberately opened a jar of good wine for Zheng Peng and others to drink, and generously offered to give Zheng Peng a few jars, leading Zheng Peng to open his mouth to buy.

In the end, he took the initiative to drop three hundred times, so that Zheng Peng had a good impression of him, seeing him so sincere and refreshing, Zheng Peng didn't think to check his batch of pressed wine, but he didn't expect to turn over here.

Obviously, Cui Er's performance was too shrewd, and Hong Huairen knew that he couldn't fool him, so he asked Cui Er and the others to relax their vigilance first, and pit Zheng Peng fiercely when he left.

It is estimated that only the first few jars of wine placed in the front are real, and the back is purely to cheat money.

Seven hundred pieces of wine, at least more than six hundred times of Zheng Peng.

Talent, Zheng Peng has been somewhat convinced of him, and after being in Datang for so long, Hong Huairen was the first to deceive himself.

No wonder after receiving the money, Hong Huairen even refused Zheng Peng's invitation to dinner, and walked so fast, at that time Zheng Peng thought that he was afraid of others robbing, so he hurriedly went to find a place to store it.

Cui Er was so angry that his face turned green, and he gritted his teeth and said: "What a gut, a market child dares to deceive his uncle, it is simply breaking ground on Tai Sui's head, I don't know whether he is alive or dead, young master, you wait for a while, and the old slave will recover the money." ”

A few hundred times is not much, Cui Er's anger is not money, Hong Huairen's success means his dereliction of duty, and his uncle's loss is because he has not fulfilled his responsibility as a housekeeper.

"No need" Zheng Peng waved his hand and said: "This person knows my identity, and he dares to deceive, he must have arranged a retreat long ago, and it will definitely be difficult to find him now, wasting time and manpower." ”

"Uncle, that's it?" Cui Er said with a disgruntled face.

Zheng Peng said calmly: "In order to save trouble when writing the contract, it is only written that 7,000 yuan is the winery and its real estate, and the rest should be gifts, and it is useless to chase him, even if the lawsuit is filed, the family will also take advantage of it." ”

"But, but let him cheat so much money for nothing?"

"It's okay, the mountains and rivers meet, and sooner or later there will be a day when it falls into my hands, and he had better ask for more blessings."

Li Bai said with a wry smile: "Owner, what should I do with this wine?" ”

"Smashed" Zheng Peng said as he spoke, and threw the jar of bad wine in his hand into the corner.

The sound of a broken jar of wine rang out, and this throw smashed several jars of wine, and all of a sudden, the whole cellar was filled with the taste of inferior water wine.

Cui Er said cautiously: "Young master, smashed it all?" There may be a few jars of good wine in it, should you pick them out first? ”

"Don't do it, smash it, who knows if the wine is clean."

Ten years of daughter Hong, the quality can only be regarded as average, hundreds of guan have been thrown away, and he doesn't care about the dozens of guan, Zheng Peng is upset when he sees it.

Li Bai also echoed: "Yes, if you smash it, keeping it will only ruin the reputation of the winery." ”

For a person who likes to drink, it is especially annoying to see someone shoddy.

Just as Zheng Peng and Li Bai were about to leave, Ah Jun, who had been following behind, suddenly said, "Young master, slow down." ”

Zheng Peng turned his head and said a little strangely: "Ah Jun, what's wrong?" ”

Ah Jun didn't speak, picked up a torch and walked over, and took a picture of the pile of broken jars, and then said, "Young master, look at it, it's a little weird." ”

Eccentric?

Zheng Peng looked over and saw broken porcelain pieces in one place, nothing special, but since Ah Jun said that it was weird, he must have a reason.

Just when Zheng Peng was puzzled, Li Bai suddenly said loudly: "That's right, it's weird, you see, these wine jars, one jar has thirty catties, smashed a few jars at once, and more than a hundred catties of wine didn't flow out, look, all seeped into the ground, seeping so fast, there is a problem here, maybe, there is a big article below." ”

Speaking of this, Li Bai suddenly said excitedly: "Many wineries will build some secret wine kilns to store good wine, maybe there is a secret cellar below, people, quickly dig with a hoe." ”
