After staying in Jingzhou City for a few days, Lin Chen and Li Xiaoran finally found out the whereabouts of the Jiuqi lay Buddhist.
"Brother, I heard that in addition to the restaurant and food industry, your family also has the business of a restaurant?" Li Xiaoran asked Mu Jiawang.
"There is such a business, but our family's focus in this regard is not a winery, but a winery." Mu Jiawang nodded, and he looked at Li Xiaoran and asked, "Why, are you interested in wine too?"
If Lin Chen would ask him such a question, then Mu Jiawang would not find it strange. Although they had not known each other for a long time, Mu Jiawang deeply understood how much Lin Chen could drink. On the contrary, although Li Xiaoran also drank, he only drank a few drinks every time. Judging from his appearance, he should not be a person who is interested in the winery?
Li Xiaoran smiled and said, "Hehe, we went to inquire about people a few days ago. Now we have found out and want to visit them, but there is nothing to do, so we have to trouble you, brother."
A few days ago, when they were in the restaurant, the three of them became sworn brothers while drunk. Mu Jiawang is the oldest and deserves to be the eldest brother. Although Lin Chen is the same age as Li Xiaoran, he carefully calculated that he is more than a month older than Li Xiaoran, so Lin Chen is the second brother and Li Xiaoran is the third brother.
"So this is the matter..." Mu Jiawang nodded. A few days ago, Lin Chen did ask him to find someone.
"What is that, what layman?" Mu Jiawang asked, "But if it's the first time I'm visiting someone else's house, it's not good to use wine as a gift, right? I'll add something else to you?"
Li Xiaoran waved his hand and said, "No, my brother doesn't know. The wine and chess lay Buddhist we are visiting has two good things in his life, good wine and good chess. If we give away something, we won't say whether he can collect it or not. I'm afraid it's a question whether he can enter the door, but if he gives away wine, it's his hobby..."
"If this is the case, then he is really a strange person!" Mu Jiawang thought for a while and said, "If you want to give wine, it's okay to drink the wine in the mansion by yourself, but if you want to give it to someone, you're a little unprofitable. It just so happened that I haven't left the city for a long time. Second and third brothers, let's go with me to the wine cellar outside the city. Although this outside Jingzhou City is not as colorful as the city, if you walk leisurely on a horse and a car, you can also enjoy a different pastoral beauty."
So the three of them rode out of Jingzhou City.
Everyone left the city, walked through fields after fields, and then stopped in a place more than ten miles away.
Rather than saying that this is a wine cellar, it is better to say that this is a very large manor.
They walked on a hazy path with sunlight scattered through the gaps of the leaves, and the breeze blew gently. Because it had just rained in the morning, the air was mixed with the moisture of the soil and the fragrance of flowers and plants, making people feel indescribable comfort and comfort.
"Are those grapes?" Lin Chen looked at the corridor not far away, vines with a few tender leaves were intertwined with each other. Because it is just the season of rejuvenation, there are not many leaves on the vines, and they look bare.
"Yes." Mu Jiawang nodded and said, "Didn't I have given you two jars of wine last time? But those two jars of wine were shipped back from the Western Regions. It was probably two years ago. Our caravan brought a lot of wine from the Western Regions. At that time, we just wanted to transport it back and try it myself. But once when we were transporting wine from the winery to the wine shop, someone mistakenly transported the wine out. As a result, we found that the sales of the wine was pretty good. And later we found that no one in Jingchu sold this wine, so my father thought, maybe it was a business opportunity?"
Mu Jiawang said, but sighed, and then continued, "Later, my father asked the winery to start trying to make wine, but the result was not very good. Although there was no one selling wine in Jingchu, my wine could not be sold. Later, after careful comparison, we found that the wines in the Western Regions had a very unique mellow aroma. Although the wines we brewed ourselves had done many processes, they still had a faint astringent feeling. The taste was similar to plum wines that cost one or two taels of 15 patterns on the market. But our cost was here, and at least we had to sell more than twenty patterns to ensure that we did not lose money. So in the end, those wines that could not be sold were no longer sold and were sealed in the underground wine cellar."
He pointed to the vines that Lin Chen looked at and said, "Those grapes were actually planted at that time, but a lot of them were planted at that time. Later, because the wine could not be sold, they stopped planting them, leaving only a small part for viewing."
Mu Jiawang smiled and continued to walk in front of the road, saying, "No more, most of the ingredients for my brewing wine are produced by myself, so most of the places in this manor are fields, and for wineries and wine cellars, you have to walk in for a while to see it."
As they walked into the manor, they could see that there were many people working in the fields on both sides of the road.
The winery is a very large house. Before they could enter, someone saw them at the door.
"Master!" someone shouted.
"Uncle Huang!" Mu Jiawang also greeted with a smile.
The person standing in front of the winery was the old Huang that Yan Huaixing said.
Huang Zheng put down the bag of things carried on his shoulder and asked, "Is the eldest young master here to transport wine?"
Huang Zheng and Yan Huaixing are both elderly people who have worked in the Mu family for decades. Yan Huaixing is the chief shopkeeper of the Mu family restaurant, in charge of more than ten restaurants and hotels of all sizes, while Huang Zheng is Yan Huaixing's deputy. However, because of the Chinese New Year some time ago, people either rest at home or visit relatives, and the restaurant business faded, so Huang Zheng went to the winery to take care of his work.
