Chapter 346 Buying Wine

I uploaded late today, so I apologize in advance. This is a big chapter of 6,000 words, two chapters in one.

The conversation in the room was not pleasant. The young and passionate faction headed by Wang Laoqiang firmly disagreed with the merger of the village. The village was no longer the same village as before, and they had the confidence and determination not to merge. During this period, the village chief rarely spoke, as if this was the case.

It seemed that the matter had nothing to do with me. In the end, it was naturally an unhappy ending.

After Zhang Taiping came out of the village house, he first saw Ye Ling, followed by a man and a woman. He was slightly stunned, but after a while he understood the purpose of their visit.

Ye Ling saw Zhang Taiping and said quickly: "Master, these two people said that your friends have something to do with you." After saying that, he stood next to Zhang Taiping.

Zhang Taiping stepped forward and asked with a smile: "I don't know what to call you?"

I was a little surprised that this woman who once wore a bright red cheongsam found her way to the mountains so quickly, but since she had already found her way here, there was no need to introduce her name.

Although the woman was 1.8 meters tall, she was still a lot shorter when she stood next to Zhang Taiping. She had to raise her head to see his face clearly. She said, "Mu Hongli." Then she joked, "You...

You have such a tall handwriting that others need to look up to you when talking to you."

Zhang Taiping smiled and ignored this remark, which he didn't know whether it was a joke or something else. Since the woman didn't introduce the man behind her and the bald man behind him didn't have the consciousness to introduce himself, Zhang Taiping didn't ask any more questions.

"Are you here to buy wine?" Zhang Taiping asked.

"Yes, I forgot to ask you for your address at that time, so I went through a lot of trouble to find it," Mu Hongli said.

Zhang Taiping knew that this was just a joke. It was not difficult to find out the details of a person who had been in and out of the auction house. For her, it was just a matter of saying a few words.

Since he is here to buy wine, he can be considered a guest. Zhang Taiping invited him: "Let's go sit inside first."

"Okay." Mu Hongli responded.

While walking back behind Zhang Taiping, looking at Ye Ling who followed Zhang Taiping silently, Mu Hongli asked with a smile: "This little girl just called you master, is she your apprentice?"

Zhang Taiping smiled and said, "He is indeed a disciple."

"What are you learning?"

"Learn some boxing and kicking skills."

Mu Hongli said: "I guess your kung fu is pretty good?" She said and looked at his tall body.

Although Zhang Taiping didn't publicize his kung fu, he couldn't hide the fact that he knew kung fu. He couldn't be proud or said modestly: "It's okay."

It was unclear how satisfied she was with this answer. She smiled and pointed at the cold bald man beside her and said: "This is my bodyguard, and he is also a man who knows some kung fu. Do you want to compare notes?"

Zhang Taiping looked at the bald man who had walked one meter away from Mu Hongli because of his presence. Judging from his condition and restrained aura, he was a man who had worked hard in the bath and now achieved something. His face

There was no ostentatious or disdainful emotion on his face, and he replied: "Then let's learn from each other later."

There was no need to wait for the bald man's response, thinking that this woman could help him make a decision. At this moment, the bald man looked at the strong man walking slightly in front again, and his eyes began to become serious. He couldn't tell the depth at all, but the feeling in his heart

But full of fighting spirit.

Halfway through, two little girls walked towards me, followed by two big dogs and a golden little monkey.

Zhang Taiping asked: "What are you going to do?"

Yaya glanced at a man and a woman and replied: "We are looking for dad."

Zhang Taiping looked at their posture. They were looking for their father, and they were clearly going to save him. He smiled and said, "Okay, I've found them now. Let's go home."

Two big dogs sniffed around the two of them. There was nothing when the teacher arrived, but Ah Huang suddenly growled lowly at the bald man. Wukong behind him also bared his teeth at him and made a fierce gesture.

Ah Huang obviously smelled the unusual smell of the bald man, or the strong strength hidden under the calm surface. Ah Huang has undergone great changes in this year. His previous timidity has disappeared, but after doing so

The dog has retained its years of experience and acumen. The lion is much more immature, and its physical fitness may be stronger than Ah Huang's, but when it comes to observation and experience, it is far inferior to Ah Huang.

As for Wukong, I don't know if he is following Ah Huang's Yun Yiyun or if he has discovered something himself.

The bald man glanced at Ah Huang, who was growling in a low voice, and looked sideways slightly, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times. Although a dog is nothing worthy of attention, when the dog reaches a certain age, it cannot be treated with a normal attitude.

Zhang Taiping stopped the roaring Ah Huang.

The wooden red carp didn't care much about the two big dogs in front of it, but cared about the golden monkey in the back. Its eyes were rolling, and it looked endearing.

"Is this the golden monkey you raised?"

Zhang Taiping nodded and introduced a few words: "It came out of the mountains and now lives in my house. Well, his name is Wukong."

"Sun Wukong?" Mu Hongli asked with a half-smile.

Zhang Taiping, however, had no idea of ​​being laughed at. He replied with a smile on his face: "If you don't have a surname, just call him Wukong."

"I thought it was the Monkey King."

Zhang Taiping smiled and shook his head.

The wooden red carp didn't feel that there was anything delicious on his body, so he consciously didn't come up to get close to the little monkey. He didn't think that he was the kind of animal that had great affinity and could put his palms on the golden fur and stroke it as soon as they met.

People turned their attention from the little monkey to the two little girls.

"Is this your daughter?"

Zhang Taiping stroked Yaya's head and said, "This is my daughter." He stroked Tiantian's head with his other hand and looked at the longing in her eyes. Finally, he couldn't bear to disappoint her and said, "This is my daughter."

Goddaughter."

Although there is an extra word "gan" in front of "daughter", as long as there are two words "daughter" in it, Tiantian will smile like a flower, and there will be a sense of joy from the inside out.

After arriving home, Cai Yazhi had already learned about the arrival of a man and a woman from Yaya and Tiantian. After giving up her seat, Cai Yazhi was served fruits and tea.

Sniffing the lightly fragrant tea, Mu Hongli looked a little surprised: "I didn't expect you not only have good wine but also good tea here."

Zhang Taiping showed a rare moment of humility: "The vulgar wild tea I roasted by myself is far from elegant."

Mu Hongli smiled noncommittally and savored the rare good tea. Zhang Taiping also sat next to her, drinking tea, but the bald man stood behind the woman and acted competently as a bodyguard.

When Xiao Xi saw a stranger coming into the room, she flew to Zhang Taiping's shoulder and looked at the two people opposite.

"You also raised this magpie?" Mu Hongli asked slightly surprised.

Zhang Taiping nodded: "It's called Xiao Xi."

Xiao Xi took a look at the woman sitting on the chair, but didn't see anything valuable or something she liked on her, so she didn't bother to come forward to express her closeness, and stood on Zhang Taiping's shoulder for a while before flying away.

Putting down the tea cup, Mu Hongli said with a smile: "You can ask the commander for advice." When he spoke, he looked at Zhang Taiping with a smile. He was talking to the bald man behind him, but also to Zhang Taiping in front of him. After investigation, I thought that

This big guy is just a little gangster with some strength, but now it seems that the investigation is not very detailed, so it would be a good idea to let the bald man try it.

Zhang Taiping smiled and stood up and said, "Let's go outside."

When they came to the yard, the two of them stood still. Before they started, a ghostly face lying listlessly under the eaves in front of the door suddenly stood up, shook its hair and came to Zhang Taiping's side. The meaning was very

obvious.

Zhang Taiping understood that Ghost Face had misunderstood, thinking that the person standing opposite and letting go of his momentum was the enemy, and wanted to fight with his master. However, Zhang Taiping did not dare to let him join. Ghost Face was different from Ah Huang, who had lived in the village since he was a child.

Although it sometimes shows its ferocious side, it will not bite people to death. If it had a grimace, Zhang Taiping believed that it would definitely attack the neck with a fatal blow.

After Ghost Face retreated under the eaves, Xiao Jin's voice came from the sky again, and it was already swooping down. Zhang Taiping smiled wryly and shook his hand, so Xiao Jin and Xiao Feng did not rush down and hovered over the courtyard.

Mu Hongli looked at the big dog squatting under the eaves like an old man with dragon bells and the two eagles circling in the sky. An inexplicable light flashed in his eyes, and he looked at the giant man in front of him again.

When the bald man saw that Zhang Taiping was ready, he made a gesture and attacked. Since they were just sparring, the style of the fist was just fierce but not murderous.

Although Zhang Taiping didn't take the bald man's strength seriously, he still understood the basic respect and quickly held his breath and concentrated on taking the punch seriously.

Putting on the Tai Chi stance, he advanced instead of retreating, took a small step forward, wrapped his hands softly around the fists swung by the bald head, and used the momentum to tilt his bald body forward.

Just like that, the bald man knew that although he didn't despise this big man, he still didn't pay enough attention to him. He was also impressed. He leaned forward and raised one knee, aiming at Zhang Taiping's wide-open chest.

According to common sense, the bald man came forward with momentum, and his raised knees were extremely strong. The best way was to move backwards. In this case, Zhang Taiping lost the opportunity, and the bald man made up for the lack of strength just now.

Pay attention to the mistakes that occur.

However, there are always exceptions. Zhang Taiping did not step back. One hand was like a ball of cotton floating down on his knee, which was extremely powerful. He blocked the extremely powerful force and then pressed it down.

Then his shoulder quickly hit the bald head's chest.

The feeling of being bald is very strange. First, the critical blow that he took advantage of was blocked by a cotton-like palm, and then, it was as if a thousand pounds of gravity were pressing on his legs, causing his legs to fall down without any suspense.

.Then there was a loud bang in my chest and a dull and uncomfortable feeling, as if I had been hit by a sledgehammer. Finally, I instinctively retracted the arm that was blocking my chest, and the pain was excruciating.

The impact directly sent the pipe flying to the ground. The bald man endured the tightness in his chest and quickly rolled up from the ground. He was confused for a while. He didn't know whether the attack just now was considered to be softness overcoming hardness or strength. After a while, he got into a posture and waited for an uproar.

He put down his hand and said, "I'm not as good as you." Then he walked behind Mu Hongli and stopped talking.

Although the expression on Mu Hongli's face did not change much, her heart was quite uneasy. There were not many people who could defeat the bald head, but not many, but they had never been able to defeat the bald head as neatly as the person in front of her. She understood the bald head, even if

He underestimated the enemy only a little bit, so the strength of this big man was far superior to that of the bald man, and he could probably be compared to some old monsters who had never been born before.

"Dashuai just used Tai Chi?" The word "Dashuai" in her mouth did not have the close connotation in the village chief's words, it was just a nickname.

Zhang Taiping led the two of them into the room again and said, "Well, it's Tai Chi passed down from our ancestors."

"Zhang style Tai Chi?" Mu Hongli frowned slightly in confusion.

There are many Tai Chi surnames in the world, such as the Chen family and the Li family. I guess this Zhang family is not in her impression. Zhang Taiping nodded and said: "That's right."

Mu Hongli poured another cup of tea and tasted it slowly. He didn't know what he was thinking about. After a while, he put the matter behind him and asked: "The two eagles flying in the sky just now were also raised by you."

of?"

Zhang Taiping nodded, looked at her eyes as she continued to look at him, and said, "I picked them up from the snow when they were injured with a shotgun. I saved their lives, and they are willing to get close to me."

Mu Hongli asked with a smile: "How many other animals do you have?"

Zhang Taiping also smiled and said: "There are really quite a few." But he did not elaborate.

Mu Hongli didn't waste any time on this matter and got down to business: "I came here to buy some wine, the kind you took out to promote last time and had been hidden for ten years. Of course, there is a longer version of me.

I don’t mind either.”

"How much do you want for ten years?" Zhang Taiping asked.

"Do you want it delivered to your door?" the woman asked.

Zhang Taiping smiled and said: "As I said last time, if you want to buy it yourself, we will never have it delivered to your door."

"But I want a lot, can't there be an exception?"

Zhang Taiping smiled and said nothing.

Mu Hongli thought for a moment that his car could not hold much space, and then said: "Then let's make five jars like the one you made last time."

Zhang Taiping said: "Okay, you wait here for a moment, I will go down to the cellar to move it up." After saying that, he turned around and entered the cellar in the back room. There was also a lot of wine in the cellar, but it was not what Zhang Taiping wanted to sell today.

Yes, what I want to sell today is placed in the space, but it has to be hidden in the cellar.

The host didn't invite, so the man and the woman didn't follow him. Everyone would keep something like this, which could be said to be a secret recipe, a secret. There was no need to bother people with the past. They sat and stood at the table and waited quietly.

After a while, Zhang Taiping brought in five jars of wine one after another.

Mu Hongli asked: "Is it still two thousand yuan per pound?"

Zhang Taiping nodded: "Yes, if nothing else happens, the price will be the same in the future."

Just when Cai Xiaomei and Shang Jun came in from outside and heard this sentence, they asked curiously: "What two thousand yuan a pound?"

Zhang Taiping replied: "Wine from the cellar."

Cai Xiaomei's eyes were full of surprise when she heard Zhang Taiping's answer. However, since there were guests present, she did not ask questions immediately. Instead, she restrained her surprise and stood quietly with Shang Jun watching.

"How to weigh it in the jar?" Mu Hongli asked.

Zhang Taiping thought for a moment that this was also a problem, so he said: "Let's do this. This jar is only fifteen pounds, just a lot more. You will never suffer a loss. A jar costs 30,000 yuan. How about it?"

"Okay." Mu Hongli replied easily.

After Zhang Taiping and the bald man moved the five jars of wine to a car parked at the wheat field, they paid 150,000 yuan in cash, declined Zhang Taiping's invitation to stay for a meal, started the car and drove away.

After returning home, Cai Xiaomei couldn't wait to ask: "What's the matter with that wine? A jar sold for 30,000 yuan?"

Zhang Taiping said: "I claim to the outside world that this is ten years of fine wine. It is priced at 2,000 yuan per catty. Anyone who wants it can come to our house to buy it."

"Two thousand yuan per catty, how can anyone buy it when it's so expensive?" Cai Xiaomei felt a little unbelievable. The most expensive wine she had ever drank was only a few dozen yuan a bottle, less than a hundred yuan. It's not that she didn't have any money.

The expensive wine I drank does not exist, but I feel that it should not appear in such a ravine, and it comes from my own brother-in-law.

Zhang Taiping clapped the 150,000 yuan in cash in his hand and said with a smile: "This just proved that someone still bought it."

Cai Xiaomei looked at the cash in Zhang Taiping's hand and believed that this was reality, but she still had some other doubts: "Is this wine really a ten-year vintage?"

Zhang Taiping was silent for a while and said: "Ten-year-old wine really does exist. There are many different kinds of wines that my father brewed in the cellar."

When Zhang Taiping mentioned Uncle Zhang, Cai Xiaomei didn't ask any more questions. Uncle Zhang's reputation for making wine back then was very famous in these eight villages. It was not impossible for Uncle Zhang to stay.

Cai Yazhi also came over, and Zhang Taiping handed her the money. She knew about the wine and was one of the participants. She was just a little worried about Zhang Taiping setting such a high price, but it was only a little bit.

, her current life is good enough or the money she earns is enough in her opinion, and it doesn’t make much difference if she earns more or less. So although she is happy to have 150,000 yuan, she doesn’t feel surprised or excited.

.

Zhang Taiping glanced at the three of them, and then said to Cai Yazhi: "There is one more thing I want to tell you. There are a lot of things about hot springs in the village. I can't get away these days. I won't accompany you tomorrow.

You are going to the mountains."

They had originally planned to go to Chaoshan tomorrow, and their things were already prepared.

Hearing this, Cai Yazhi said: "Then I won't go and cook at home."

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said: "Go ahead, I haven't been to the mountain in many years. I'm busy these days, but if you have nothing to do, just take the time to go back to the mountain. If the grapes are ripe in a few days,

Even if you want to go there, you won’t have time to spare.”

Cai Yazhi agreed after a little hesitation. As Zhang Taiping said, she had not gone to the mountain for several years, and after the grapes were ripe, she would never have the chance this year. She said to Zhang Taiping: "Since you are not going, then do

Don’t let the old man take care of the food, you can cook it.”

Zhang Taiping nodded and said: "Of course, although I am busy, I still have time to cook. I will definitely not let the old man with a few little girls go hungry."

Yaya whispered from the side: "Dad, I also want to go to Chaoshan with my mother." She raised her head and looked at her expectantly.

Zhang Taiping knelt down and said: "You are too young now. It takes seventy or eighty miles to go up the mountain. If you go there, it is not safe and will tire your mother out. When you grow up, Dad

Take you there, oh."

Hearing that it would be a drag on her mother, Yaya, as a well-behaved child, immediately stopped asking.

Fan Ming was full of reluctance. He had grown up and would not be a drag on anyone. However, the time for acupuncture was only in these two days, and he had to boil medicine and take it every day, but he could not go with the three of them. He could only go there with them.

The person next to me was sulking, and I didn’t know who I was angry with.

Zhang Taiping comforted him: "When your treatment is over, go with Da Nier, Er Nier and the others next year."

Cai Yazhi touched Yaya's head and said: "You must listen to daddy at home."

Yaya nodded: "I listen to my father the most."

Zhang Taiping couldn't help but laugh when he saw Cai Yazhi explaining things to Yaya as if she was about to travel far away. Suddenly he remembered something. He entered the bedroom and took out the camera from the drawer under the computer desk and handed it to Cai Yazhi and said: "Take this

Take it with you and take some pictures of the scenery on the way as a souvenir."

"Yeah, if you didn't tell me, I almost forgot the camera." Cai Xiaomei said with a smile when she saw the camera.

The next day at dawn, the three women were ready to set off. Each of them carried a backpack on their back, which contained a few pieces of clothing to keep out the cold and some emergency anti-hemostatic medicine. Preparing clothes to keep out the cold in summer sounds a bit ridiculous.

, but the situation on the mountain is like this. It's fine during the day, but at night the temperature is very likely to drop suddenly below zero, so bring some clothes to be prepared.

As for things like food and incense, Zhang Taiping didn't let her buy them at the foot of the mountain. When she got to the mountain, she just had to put some money for incense in the temple, and the incense would naturally be delivered to her when the incense was burned.

Zhang Taiping sent them to the entrance to the mountain in Fengyukou Village and said: "I will ask Xiaofeng and Xiaojin to follow you. They will always hover above your heads. If anything happens, you can call them down and send me a message."

Cai Yazhi said: "I know, it's okay. I used to go into the mountains often."

Cai Xiaomei patted Ah Huang and said, "With Ah Huang here, nothing will happen. Don't worry, brother-in-law."

Xiao Xi stood on Cai Yazhi's shoulder and screamed at him, as if to say, nothing will happen to me.

Zhang Taiping smiled and came to Cai Yazhi, placed his lips on her ear and whispered: "Remember to ask your empress for a son."

Cai Yazhi's ears and cheeks instantly turned red as if she was drunk. She didn't know whether it was because of the words or the intimate gesture, but she still nodded slightly.

When I returned home alone, I looked at the somewhat empty house and felt like something was missing. I couldn't help but laugh at myself and said, "I miss you so quickly. I really..."

He muttered something in his mouth, shook his head and went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

ps: Please give me flowers!
