Build a farm from the mountains

Chapter 178

"I have a good relationship with Director Li." Zhao Yunchang nodded and asked again: "Brother, how much wine do you buy, and I can get a few bottles if you want."

Wu Hao replied: "I'm going to Lao Maozi's place, I want to buy some more wine to take there, but I only have ten catties of wine tickets."

"Then I understand." Zhao Yunchang nodded: "I'll go home later and find some wine tickets."

He bent down to take the meat, but Wu Hao stopped him and said, "I'll take this meat."

"I'll go home first." Zhao Yunchang turned around and entered the house to go home through the front door.

Wu Hao and the chef moved the meat into the house, and he sat at the table drinking tea and waiting.

Nowadays, the purchase of most things is restricted, and you can buy more bulk wine with a ticket, but you can’t buy much good wine with a ticket, so you have to go through the back door.

The country of human feelings, and this human society is vividly reflected in the Northeast, with both advantages and disadvantages.

When Zhao Yunchang came back and led the way to the backyard, he took the initiative to drive the car.

Wu Hao didn't feel surprised. It's normal for the restaurant owner to drive the car. In a small town, there are actually rural people.

It will be different ten or twenty years later. A classmate’s family moved to the outskirts of the town. Once I met a classmate while passing by, I went to see his house.

The classmate's wife lived in an old village, and she hated the countryside very much, and didn't know what kind of city people they were, so he never went to that classmate's house after that.

Now not everyone knows how to drive a carriage, everything looks easy but is difficult to do, the horse and the old cow are not as obedient as imagined.

In some poorer villages, there are not many big animals. Nowadays, the main means of transportation for people to travel is two legs, and they can walk tens of miles at will.

The current horse-drawn carriage can be compared with the private car in the future, and adults will envy the children who don't understand which village to drive.

The carriage went to the east side of the village and turned, Zhao Yunchang drove directly into the winery, and when he saw acquaintances nodding in greeting, Wu Hao also looked at the small winery.

Nowadays, there is nothing to report when the factory manager is blocked by the guards. People who are acquainted can enter the factory directly, and there is a stable for horses to feed fodder in the courtyard.

The factory buildings are brick buildings, and the office area is also old and new brick buildings. The small winery is not big, and there are many people, because it is not a private enterprise.

Normally, I was only responsible for supplying wine to two nearby towns, but I couldn't develop it even if I wanted to. In the first two years, I relied on horse-drawn carriages for transportation.

Now that railways and highways are connected, the sales volume of the factory is still the same. As for why there are roads in poor mountainous areas, it is because of supporting the construction of China.

The two parked the carriage and went to the office area. A middle-aged man with a medium build and slightly bald head was looking at the sky and the sun at the door of the bungalow.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned his head and saw that Zhao Yunchang was coming. He smiled and stretched out his hand to say hello. Zhao Yunchang has a lot of contacts, and his brother is still the leader of the bureau, so he has to show face.

Director Zhao Yun will handle affairs, so he first introduced: "Director Li, this is my brother Wu Hao."

Don't look at Wu Hao wearing a sheepskin jacket and a dog fur hat, Director Li didn't look down on people at all, because everyone in the township is dressed in the same way.

He was also wearing a big padded jacket and a green military uniform on the outside. He was already an upright man. He smiled and shook hands and greeted the two of them into the house.

The two parties drank tea and chatted for a while. Director Li was a little embarrassed when he heard that he wanted to buy wine. Zhao Yunchang had wine at home.

People come to him to buy more, and there are not necessarily many tickets. Nowadays, the purchase of alcohol is restricted, so you can sell as much as you want. He smiled and asked: "Brother, how much do you want to buy?"

"It depends on how much Director Li can sell me." Wu Hao didn't reply positively, and that's it for now.

After [-], when the supply of most things became open, and many private enterprises developed, those who received wages would be laid off.

He came to buy a lot of wine, so to put it bluntly, these guys can nail a board and confess him as the God of Wealth.

Nowadays, most of the small factories are grasshoppers after autumn, and they will not be able to jump for a few days.

Seeing Director Li frowning, Zhao Yunchang smiled and said, "It's already noon, Lao Li, why don't you arrange a meal?"

This is only because of a familiar relationship. Director Li patted the table: "Oh, look, I forgot."

Get up and pull the two of you: "Let's go and eat first."

Wu Hao saw that the two of them had a good relationship, so let's eat first. In the private room of the small cafeteria in the factory, the three of them chatted while eating.

In the south, they drink tea and do business, and in the north, they do business at the wine table. After a meal of wine, the three of them are already brothers.

Factory Manager Li can drink two catties. He wanted to drink too much for the two of them, and then sent them out with some wine to knock them down. He knew that Zhao Yunchang had the same drinking capacity as himself.

But this young man doesn't look good like a drinker, but he seems to be fine after drinking two catties by himself.

He had already drank a catty and a half, and if he drank more, his tongue would grow louder. He hurriedly chatted about business, pointing to two kinds of wine bottles.

"Brother, I actually produce a kind of grain wine here. The difference between the number of distillations and the craftsmanship is that it is divided into two bottles. The better bottled wine is stored in the cellar."

"Some of them have been stored for more than three years. I can sell you fifty catties for two yuan per catty."

He pointed to another bottle: "I almost sell you one hundred catties for this one, one yuan for five catties, you can choose whichever you want."

He didn't mention the ticket after drinking the wine. Being the director of the factory for so many years was not for nothing. He can make decisions about the wine.

Zhao Yunchang nodded: "Lao Li gave the real price."

"That's all." Wu Hao raised his glass: "Come on, brother Li, continue drinking."

Lao Li was going to drink just now, so he had to return it.

Factory Manager Li was a little scared, raised his glass and said, "Brother, let's just drink this one. I have to go to work. Let's drink after dinner."

When they met for the first time, Wu Hao couldn't really drink him. After drinking this glass of wine, the three of them chatted for a while and began to load the car.

Factory Manager Li gave him five more bottles of good wine. Wu Hao covered the wine with a tent, took out his pockets including the wine tickets of Director Zhao Yun, and gave them to Factory Manager Li. Send Zhao Yunchang back to the hotel first, and then drive home.

When I came out, I took 500 yuan from home, and I planned to go directly to Lao Maozi on the highway, but now it is not a small sum to spend two hundred and fifty.

The good wine needs to be sent home, and the distance from the road to Lao Maozi is a bit far. He wants to lead the dog over the back mountain, and find deer for Zhao Yunchang by the way.

People are helping him today, so he has to do things for them.

The alcohol content of these two kinds of alcohol is not high. Nowadays, most liquors are in the 30s and [-]s. The good wine he bought is more than [-] degrees.

The almost wine was more than 40 degrees, Wu Hao picked up the bad wine and opened the bottle to take a sip. Looking back, it seems to be similar to the better vodka from Lao Maozi.

The strength is about the same, but the taste is better, and the stamina of this wine is not strong. He bought this wine because it is like vodka.

More than 40 degrees is compared with other people's vodka?Didn't the old Maozi drink 96% vodka?

There is indeed 96-degree vodka, but the old man is not a fool!
When Lao Maozi did not disintegrate, especially from the 70s to the 80s, this period was called the "golden" period, and the living standards of ordinary people were very high.

Medical education is free, the 80s is a developing country, and refined sugar cubes are 2 rubles and 40 kopecks per kilogram.

The ruble is extremely strong. A professor at a university in South Russia, before the old Maozi disintegrated in 1991, the old couple accumulated 4 rubles, which was equivalent to about 6 to 8 dollars at the time, which was quite rich.

By 1993, 4 rubles could not buy 10 bottles of vodka.

Lao Maozi was going to mess up in 83, it would be over after 85, and it would be completely abolished in 90.

Lao Maozi does have a lot of good things, but the main food of the poor is potatoes!Eat bread and drink milk.

Only rich people eat meat, fruits and vegetables.

After the disintegration, their rural areas were still very poor, and they will still be very poor 30 years later.

After the disintegration, the wine production was only about 20.00% of the peak period, which caused a shortage of wine.

But Lao Maozi's place is too cold, many people can drink some since they were young, and after they are more than ten years old, they rely on alcohol to drive away the cold.

In this way, some alcoholics are also raised. They will shake their hands if they don’t drink alcohol. Alcohol is not just bought casually, it is a controlled product, and pharmacies don’t sell alcohol.

Some alcoholics drink 96-degree vodka straight away, and the lightest ones are hospitalized, and they drink more and go straight to bang.

Many people died, so it was rumored that Lao Maozi drank 96% wine.

What they usually drink is vodka mixed with water, the degree of which is only over 40 degrees.

Wu Hao drank the good vodka from the big driver, but it was not much better than the good wine he bought just now, and the strength was about the same.

Now that the purchase of alcohol is restricted, he can't buy alcohol in large quantities to exchange things. This time he went to visit to exchange some small items.

Every household lit up their carriages and entered the courtyard. Wu Weiguo was in the courtyard and asked, "Why are you back?"

Wu Hao replied: "I'll go from the forest in the north tomorrow, it's near here."

Wu Weiguo nodded, walked to the side of the carriage and opened the tent to take a look: "Why do you buy so much? Who's stopping by to get hundreds of dollars worth of wine?"

"It's such a good wine, life is over? Your father has never had such a good wine!"

Wu Hao waited for him to finish speaking and asked back: "Can I still give it away for nothing?"

"Huh?" Wu Weiguo was right when he thought about it, he would not come back empty-handed when he went to the big driver, he reacted and said angrily, "What's your attitude?"

Wu Hao continued to ask, "What's my attitude?"

"Oh, fuck me!" Wu Weiguo picked up the whip from the car and beat him.

Wu Hao circled around the carriage and shouted: "Mom! Old Wu finds fault and beats me up!"

Gao Lijuan heard the conversation outside and knew her son was back, so she went into the outer room to reheat the dishes, and now there was another shout from outside, she pushed the door open with a fire stick: "What time is it!"

"Don't delay beating your son at any time!" Wu Weiguo muttered in his heart, put down the whip in his hand and stared at the little calf: "You wait!"

"Don't drink the wine I bought!" Can Wu Hao convince him?He set up the carriage and let Hei Feng take off the harness and lead him into the barn to feed the horses.

"I don't know who is who?" Wu Weiguo took the initiative to unload the car after saying the mantra. It was too cold in his house to put the wine outside.

After Wu Hao feeds the horses, he goes out to carry wine into the house, and keeps all the good wines. You can't give one good and one poor when giving things to others.

After finishing work and going into the house for dinner, Wu Weiguo picked up a bottle of wine and sat down on the kang. He shone the light on the bottle and prepared to drink some more.

He took this bottle as a good wine, the packaging was good, and the style of the bottle was pretty.

Xiaodoubao sat on the kang and stretched his neck to look at it. Just now, he heard outside talking about wine, but this bottle is beautiful. What if it is a drink that he has never drunk?

She couldn't help asking: "What?"

"Wine." Wu Weiguo didn't fool the old girl.

Wu Hao took the wine bottle, opened it and poured a bowl to fool her: "This is cooking wine, the newly produced one is better than the drink."

After finishing speaking, he picked up half a bowl and slapped his mouth: "Well, it is indeed better than drinks."

"Delicious?" Xiaodoubao's eyes began to roll. She remembered that the wine was hot and she was tricked by his father, but the eldest brother can't fool people.

Sitting on the kang, she moved to the front of others and stretched her neck to look at the wine bowl. She smelled wine indeed, but it was much more fragrant than the wine at home.

She swallowed: "Give me a taste?"

"Come on!" Wu Hao picked up the bowl and handed it over to feed her. His idea was simple, the old Wu family had good genes.

The younger sister can practice wine, and it is enough that she is not an alcoholic and will not be drunk.

He didn't give her a big mouthful, but let her stick out her tongue to lick it. When she was young, she got used to the taste of wine, and when she grew up, he could let her drink more.

Whoever thought that Xiaodoubao was not stupid at all, she smelled the smell of wine and hid away, wrinkling her nose and staring at the wine: "You are going to fool me!"

"Brother can still lie to you?" Wu Hao looked very unhappy, took the wine back and said, "If you don't drink, you'll fall down."

This child really grows wise after eating. Mom is in the outhouse, she can't trust dad, she looks at the bowl and at the elder brother.

The greedy cat couldn't help it, she hesitated before saying, "Dip some with your chopsticks and give me a taste."

"Okay." Wu Hao moved the chopsticks over and inserted them into the bottom of the bowl, so that the wine would be soaked in a lot and gather into a drop.

When Xiaodoubao saw that the chopsticks were all brought to her mouth, she raised her head and stuck out her tongue to catch it. A drop of wine under the chopsticks fell on her tongue.

Alcohol with a temperature of more than 30 degrees is hot enough for adults to drink. Xiao Dou Bao felt that her tongue was numb and she knew she had been fooled. She opened her mouth and said, "Ahhh~"

He raised his small hands and stroked his mouth and wiped his tongue. He shook his head hotly, stood up and ran from the top of the kang to the top of the kang.

He stuck out his tongue and breathed like a puppy, wiped it with his hand from time to time, then ran to his father and knelt down and pushed his arm: "Water! Water!"

Wu Weiguo scooped up water for her with a suppressed smile, and she tilted her head to look at her elder brother and gasped: "The donkey lied to the snow boy!"

His tongue was numb and he couldn't speak clearly. Seeing his father bringing in water, he hurriedly took it and took a sip and spit it on the ground with a "poof".

Spit three mouthfuls in a row and then swallowed one mouthful, then sat there with head held up and mouth open: "Ah~"

After half a minute of chattering, her tongue was numb and her mouth was bitter. When she saw the fish that her elder brother brought over, she walked over to take a bite.

Then he raised his little foot and kicked him on the back: "I'm not with you!"

Turn around, go to the corner and sit there, put your head on the wall and mutter: "The cauldron is not reliable!"

This child can eat spicy food with a glutton's mouth, but she doesn't drink alcohol at all, and now the whole thing is waiting for someone to coax her.

Wu Hao took out a shuttlecock from his pocket, this one was made of copper coins with chicken feathers inserted, it was about to come when he saw it at Zhao Yunchang Restaurant.

He stretched out his hand and asked, "If you don't treat me well, I will give it to another child!"

When Xiaodoubao turned around, she saw that someone else had played, so she held back her mouth: "I don't want it."

When someone threw it over, she quickly grabbed it, smiled "hehe", and pulled the shuttlecock with her small hands, her little face was full of joy.

The four of them watched TV and went to sleep. The next morning, Wu Hao reloaded the car with wine and took the dog and mink into the back mountain.

After crossing the small river, we went north-east and hit a small wild boar on the way. When we approached the border camp on the third morning, three soldiers came in front of us.

The leading man in his thirties looked a little old-fashioned, but with a smile on his face, it didn't feel right: "Are you visiting or passing by?"

Wu Hao stopped the car and shook his head: "Not visiting, just passing by."

There are many rules here, he and his grandfather will have a meal when they bring food, and rarely live here. The platoon leader Zhang in front of him is an old acquaintance and a veteran, and he is willing to practice skills with him.

"Passing by!" Platoon Leader Zhang showed a businesslike look, lifted the tent on the carriage and asked, "What are you pulling?"

Wu Hao turned his head and said: "Damn wine, if you need a beating, wait for me to come back!"

"Okay!" Platoon Leader Zhang laughed, sat behind him and said, "I'll take you there."

Wu Hao nodded and drove the three soldiers north to Jiehe. It was a rule for people to check, and he always wandered north and south without stopping him.

But it has to be sent to the border, and only by watching him pass by can we rest assured that someone will have an accident at the border.

After walking two miles out of the forest, there was a lot of snow on the river. Platoon Leader Zhang picked up the shovel on the car to collect the snow, and said, "If the big driver hadn't come back, I really wouldn't let you pass."

He and Wu Hao are good at playing. When they are not patrolling, they will fight. If they are not wrestling, he often wins.

Wu Hao didn't know the two recruits and could only talk to him: "I can go there with the little driver, and it's not about robbing them."

Paichang Zhang gave him a white look: "Is the old Maozi saying that you can grab it if you grab it?"

Wu Hao looked to the other side, there was a wide road in the middle of the forest, and he could see the village at the end of the road.

Five soldiers came from the village. Lao Maozi's military uniform and hat were very nice at this time, and the leader was about the same build as him.

No beard, good looks, fair skin, it was the little driver, he walked to the middle of the river and asked the other four people to go back to pick up the shovel, then raised his head and asked, "What are you looking at?"

The mandarin he speaks also has a northeast flavor.

Wu Hao was not polite to him, walked over and suddenly hugged and fell, pressed the ground and poured snow into his neck.

The old Maozi's big driver is covering the sky with one hand, and there are not so many rules. He will fight with the little driver when he meets him.

As long as he holds him down, the kid won't be able to get up.

The little driver was stubborn, and he refused to persuade him. He grabbed the snow and wiped it on his stomach. When he let go, he stood up and shook the snow while saying, "You wait until you get ashore!"

Wu Hao turned around and stopped a few dogs who wanted to help. These guys wanted to pay the driver, so he led the dogs back.

Four or five people cleared the snow very quickly, and both sides did not cross the border. The veteran of the platoon leader Zhang knew the veterans on the other side but did not have much contact with them, so they went back after saying hello.

Wu Hao drove to the other side and asked, "Where's your father?"

He spoke Northeast dialect to the little driver, and this guy understood it and said, "I'm in the village, I've scolded you several times!"

He opened the tent and saw Jiu's eyes lit up, and the other four had the same expression. Seeing the little driver nodding, he carried two boxes and left.

Wu Hao didn't care, chatted with the little driver and came to the open space in front of the village. The guards in the bungalows on both sides were all acquaintances.

There are three old cannons and two tanks on the open space. Opposite him is a big wooden house with beautiful woodcuts and glass windows.

After driving to the warehouse on the right, the little driver opened the door, and he locked the dog in, leaving the rest alone. He put the mink on his shoulder, picked up a case of wine, went to the big house, opened the door and walked in.

The living room is more than 30 square meters. The fire in the fireplace directly opposite is very strong, and the room is very warm. On the sofa on the left of the dining room and on the right, there is a middle-aged man who looks exactly like the little driver sitting on the sofa.

Wearing a colonel's uniform, he has been promoted.

The big driver looked at the carriage outside the window and turned his head to stare at him.
