Happy Tycoon

Lao Na bought this Xuande blue and white octagonal candlestick with a flower pattern for 300 yuan. It was indeed a big leak. Even in the 1980s, he could buy such a national treasure for 300 yuan. Heavy equipment, that is also absolutely missed.

　　 Yang Jing remembers that he had seen a similar blue and white octagonal candlestick with entwined branches and floral patterns on the porcelain materials that Cai Yi gave him. It was also from the Xuande period, but that candlestick was a bit smaller than this candlestick.

　　 The blue and white candlestick was sold at a price of 19.55 million at the Guardian auction in 2011.

　　 There is also a Xuande blue-and-white candlestick of similar style in the Shanghai Sea Museum. That candlestick can be called the treasure of the Shanghai Sea Museum.

　　 The blue and white candlestick that Lao Na received is better than that of the Shanghai Museum in terms of size and appearance. If this blue and white candlestick is shot in 2018, it will easily exceed 20 million!

　　 In fact, this blue and white candlestick style was similar in all periods of the Ming Dynasty. Not only was there this blue and white octagonal candlestick in the Xuande period, but also in the earlier Yongle period, there were also blue and white candlesticks of the same style.

　　 In the materials given by Cai Yi, Yang Jing has seen these two blue and white candlesticks of different ages. The shape of these two candlesticks is basically the same, and the most obvious change is in the decoration. The banana leaf pattern on the handle of the Xuande candlestick is replaced by a Ruyi head pattern, the square grid pattern and the chrysanthemum pattern on the neck are replaced by a smaller tangled branch pattern and a tangled lotus pattern, and the deformed lotus petal pattern at the folded shoulder In addition, the undecorated shoulders of the Yongle candlestick and the oblique wall near the bottom are decorated with zigzag geometric patterns during the Xuande period. This change is also reflected in other Yongxuan porcelains, such as moon holding vases and flower pouring.

　　 In any case, the blue and white octagonal candlestick with entwined branches and flowers that Mr. Na received is indeed an old object with a large opening, which can be called a national treasure.

　　 In order to celebrate Mr. Na, Yang Jing asked him to go out and buy a lot of food at noon. He set up a table in the yard and he and Mr. Na had a drink.

　　 The wine was naturally tasted like Erguotou. Maybe the old Yanjing people liked this taste. Even if there were Moutai and Wuliangye in the room, Mr. Na didn't drink those wines, so he caught Erguotou and drank it.

　　 But let alone, the Erguotou wine in the 1980s is really much better than the Erguotou in the new century.

　　 In fact, it’s no wonder that people in this era are very sincere, including wineries, and they don’t have as many flowers and bowels as later generations. In this era, Yanjing's state-owned wineries at all levels used real materials to make wine, and they all brewed with pure grains in accordance with traditional craftsmanship. The craftsmanship is authentic and the wines produced have great tastes.

　　 The wine of this era is said to be grain wine, it is grain wine, which is like those of later generations. Almost no pure grain wine can be found for wine under 150 yuan. Almost all alcoholic wines are blended with edible alcohol.

　　 "This wine tastes the most authentic!" After a few glasses of wine, Mr. Na gradually let go and talked more.

"The current Yanjing is not like the time when the People’s Republic of China was founded in the 1950s. In the year of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, I was eighteen. In the years after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, there was only one state-owned winery in the entire Yanjing, and that was the Yanjing Winery Experimental Factory. The output is only a few hundred tons. The Erguotou produced is really in short supply. Sometimes there are restrictions on purchases. Every household in Yanjing can only buy two bottles per month. Like now, there are 17 state-owned wineries in the entire Yanjing city. , The annual output has reached 60,000 to 70,000 tons, so you can drink a piece of Erguotou with a bottle of 71."

　　 Yang Jing had never understood these things before, so it was quite enjoyable. Seeing Mr. Na's cup was empty, Yang Jing picked up the bottle and filled Mr. Na with a glass of wine, making Mr. Na a little flattered.

　　 "Mr. Na, you don't have to be polite with me. Tell me about that time, especially about the Erguotou wine."

　　 "Hey, do you want to hear? I'll talk to you if you want to hear."

Mr. Na grabbed the wine bottle and said, "Have you seen this Red Star Erguotou Liquor? This is the largest Erguotou Liquor in Yanjing, but what you might not know is that this Red Star brand did not belong to the Red Star Erguotou Liquor before. The original right to use the factory belonged to the Lu Winery in Shishi City, Hebei Province, but this Lu Winery and the Yanjing Winery Experimental Factory were jointly affiliated with the North China Winery Monopoly Company. Not only that, there were also Jin Province and Jinmen at that time. Wineries in other places also belonged to the monopoly company. Therefore, at that time, most of the companies under the North China Liquor Industry Monopoly Company had the right to use the Red Star trademark. Fenjiu in the 1950s also used the Red Star brand."

"In fact, this red star trademark was not designed by Huaxia people. This trademark was designed by a Japanese expert who specializes in liquor production, like a guy named Sakurai Yaszo. This trademark has a certain meaning. Among them, the red star It represents the revolution of China, and the ribbon below means the celebration of victory. I remember that it was not until 1953 that this Red Star brand originally belonged to the Shishilu Winery was officially transferred to the Beijing Winery, and later it became our Yanjing Erguotou The most iconic Erguotou brand."

"Later, in addition to the Red Star Erguotou, there were also the'Shining Tombs' brand of Chang/ping Distillery, the'Xiangyang Brand' of Tong/ County Distillery, and the'Chaobaihe Brand' of Niulanshan Distillery. Erguotou and Hongxing Erguotou are together, and they are called the four kings of the old wine world in Erguotou."

　　 Yang Jing was also amused, and even the "Four Heavenly Kings" came out. He didn't expect that Erguotou wine would have so many anecdotes after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

“After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the brewing processes used by these state-owned wineries were basically the same. The raw materials were basically sorghum, barley and peas, so the taste of the wines was similar. If there is any difference, I am afraid it is because of the brewing. The water is different. But I have always liked to drink Niu Er, but since April this year, Niu Er began to reduce its alcohol in response to the country’s call for “limiting the alcohol content” in previous years. Sixty-five degrees has dropped to fifty-five degrees, and the taste is gone. So I now drink red two."

Mr. Na shook his head helplessly as he said, "I just don’t know when the Red Two will be lowered. This is a national call. How dare these state-owned wineries violate this call! So now, this reduction is inevitable. I am afraid I will never drink Erguotou wine with a degree of less than 65 degrees again!"

　　 Yang Jing knows about the lowering degree. After all, he was also the owner of Erguotou before, so naturally he knew something about this kind of wine.

　　 Niu Er began to decline in April 1986, and Red Second began to decline in October of the same year. They all dropped from the previous sixty-five degrees to the next fifty-five degrees.

　　 Of course, the 55-degree Red 2 is sold in other places, and the local Yanjing Red 2 is 56-degree.

　　 Yang Jing was also a little sad when he heard Mr. Na say this. With the rapid development of society, some of China's old heritage has inevitably been impacted, and some have even disappeared in the long river of history.

　　 is like this Erguotou wine. The real Erguotou Liquor is a high-grade liquor with a degree of 60 degrees or more. Only the Erguotou Liquor with that alcohol content is strong enough to drink, and it has that taste. It's like those old wines that Yang Jing received from Chengzi. Although there was no mark on the alcohol level, they were drunk once yesterday, and made Yang Jing dare to pat his chest and say that the alcohol content of those old wines definitely exceeded sixty. Spend!

　　 As for the 55-degree, 42-degree, and 38-degree wine produced later, although it is also called Erguotou wine, the taste is really far behind.

Seeing that Mr. Na was a little bit emotional, Yang Jing smiled and said to Mr. Na: "I said Mr. Na, I think you are quite knowledgeable about liquor, then I will add some more tasks for you, I don't know if you want it or not. What are you doing?"

　　 Lao Na smiled and said: "Boss, you only need to pay a salary. I don't dare to do anything except murder and arson. I don't dare to do anything else. You can do everything you ask."

　　 Yang Jing pointed at the old man and smiled helplessly, saying that Jingyouzi, Jinzuizi, the dog legs of Baoding Prefecture, according to Yang Jing, if the old Yanjing people become poor, their mouths are no worse than those of Jinmen.

　　 "I said Mr. Na. Actually, this task is not a difficult task. On the contrary, I think you must like to do this job. Well, I plan to collect some wine for storage. How about you come to do this job?"

Mr. Na listened for a moment, and then he smiled on his face and said, "Boss, I am willing to do this job. But I have to clarify one thing for you. Now some wines can't be bought casually, such as Moutai. Now If you want to buy Moutai, you have to add overseas remittance coupons in addition to spending money~www.readwn.com~ Of course, if the boss allows me to use foreign exchange coupons to buy it, it will naturally be no problem."

Yang Jing nodded, "I know what you said. It is natural to buy Moutai with foreign exchange coupons. You can buy more. Well, in addition to Moutai, such as Wuliangye, Luzhou Laojiao, Fenjiu, Xifeng, Dongjiu You can also buy more of these wines. As for the quantity, you can open up five rooms in the basement and fill up these five rooms!"

　　 Mr. Na took a breath and asked hesitantly, "Boss, this is a lot of money, it costs a lot of money."

　　 "Hehe, do you think your boss I am a person who lacks money?"

　　 Mr. Na shook his head, "That's true, you are a billionaire. It's okay to buy this wine."

"Lao Na, in addition to these wines, you'd better also pay attention to whether there are older wines that are older. It does not matter if you spend money. As long as the vintage is old enough, you will give it to me. Whether it is before liberation or after liberation, as long as it is I want old wine!"

　　 "Also, after these wines are collected, you must pay attention to seal them. Whether it's new or old wine, you'd better do the wax seal again. Don't be afraid of trouble, be sure to seal it well."

　　 Old Na nodded and said, "This is no problem. I know how to make a wax seal."

"Well, if you know how to do it, I will leave it to you. As a reward, I will reward you with a bottle of Erguotou every day. Of course, if you are willing to drink Moutai or Wuliangye, that's okay. As long as you can give me the wine It's done once it's collected!"

　　 "Go! Boss, don't worry!"

　　PS: Monday, ask for a recommendation ticket, thank you!
