"The guys in the lounge of the winery are very busy, and everyone is extremely anxious. Among them, Xiao Ma, the guy who delivered the letter to Kui Jiu, hurried over, "Young shopkeeper!You are back!The shopkeeper came down from the wine table and fell to the ground as soon as he returned to the lounge of the wine shop. free.

It would be best if the shopkeeper could spit it out, but no matter how hard he tried, he just wouldn't spit it out!This really made us feel very headache. If we don't vomit, the wine will be lodged in our stomach and we won't be able to get it out.We even thought of giving him more tea to soothe his hangover, but it still didn't work, and he took medicine, but he was in a coma all the time.How do you think this should be done? "

If Kui Jiu didn't listen, he heard that his father was in a coma all the time, and he was extremely anxious. He hurried to his father's bed, looked at the pale and swollen face, and felt that his father's physical condition was not serious. Optimistic, he blamed the guys in his heart, everyone is like this, why didn't he invite the doctor to come over and show him?This brain is too dead.Then, looking at the anxious and worried expressions of these guys, his heart softened again, "Little Ma! Hurry up and find the doctor and show the shopkeeper!"

The guys were all busy, it was only when Kui Jiu reminded them that they suddenly realized, yes!Please doctor!The pony went out without stopping.

Not long after, an old man with a gray beard and over sixty years of age was invited. He put the medicine box on the table, hurried to Lao Kui, put his finger on his wrist, and checked his pulse.

After a while, he shook his head helplessly, got up, picked up the medicine box and prepared to leave.

Everyone waited anxiously, never thought that the doctor was about to leave without saying a word, it seemed that he didn't even plan to charge the consultation fee.This also made everyone very puzzled.

Kui Jiu hurried forward, blocked the old man's way, and asked anxiously: "Sir! Is my father okay? Why did you shake your head just now? Did you have something difficult to say? It doesn't matter! There are no outsiders here." , you just say it’s okay, as long as my father’s illness can be cured, it doesn’t matter how much money you spend.”

The doctor shook his head helplessly, "Young shopkeeper! This is not a matter of money! Your father's pulse is weak, his spleen and stomach are exhausted, and time is running out, so he should be busy preparing for the funeral! As for the medical fee, I will not charge a cent, after all, There is no cure, even if Zhongjing and Hua Tuo are still alive, they are helpless and powerless! Don't waste your time thinking about it."

After hearing this, Kui Jiu and the other staff were also dumbfounded. They couldn't believe it was true. After all, the shopkeeper was usually in good health and rarely fell ill. It was because he drank too much wine today and It hurt his internal organs, which made him terminally ill. The guys hated those people who set up a trap to frame the shopkeeper. If they hadn't tricked these customers into pouring so much wine into the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper wouldn't be here.

Kui Jiu's tears streamed down, and he tightly grasped the lapel of the old man's clothes, then knelt down on his knees and begged bitterly: "Sir! You must save my father! He has always been in good health! But today After drinking two more cups, it became like this! As long as it can cure his illness, we will not hesitate even if it is worth a thousand dollars!"

"I just said it! It's not about money. In fact, things in the world are like this sometimes. Things that can be solved with money are often not a problem. The most difficult things to solve are things that can't be solved with money. That's true. It’s a big deal! You are right. Judging from the pulse, your father’s health is indeed very good. Of course, he definitely didn’t drink two more glasses. His internal organs have been severely damaged due to the stimulation of the wine. What’s more, there is no cure! You have time to beg me, why not get busy preparing for his funeral!” The doctor explained earnestly, and then walked away.

Kui Jiu lay limp on the ground, weeping like tears. The news of Lao Kui's death came out very quickly, and the customers were surprised for a while. They had a drink with everyone that day. Why did this person just disappear after saying nothing? ?The world is really impermanent!

The news of Lao Kui's death quickly reached the ears of Zhang Yuelai from Yuelai Winery, he was so happy!But don't mention it, I thought to myself, let you be proud, aren't your business booming?How much money do you earn?Now let you see the King of Hades naked, and let all the hard-earned money you have earned in your life be in vain.Let's see how your winery continues to operate.He was very proud that the great hatred accumulated in his heart for so many years could finally be released.He confidently started the business of Yuelai Winery.

After Lao Kui's death, Kui Jiu's mother shed tears day and night. Now, this person is dead.The more he thinks about it, the more sad he becomes, he doesn't think about food and drink, he can't sleep at night, and he becomes thinner. No matter how Kui Jiu persuades and enlightens him, it is of no avail.After only a few months, he also followed Lao Kui.

Kui Jiu cried to death again, and less than half a year later, the shopkeeper and his wife both passed away.

The guys were all downcast. The business of this winery had been stagnant for more than half a year. Seeing the customers of Kuijiu's family ran to the opposite Yuelai Winery to buy wine in desperation, they felt even more uncomfortable.Kui Jiu was busy with his parents' funeral affairs and kept a filial piety for them. During this period, he did not drink any alcohol and ate vegetarian food.Therefore, the winery closed down.However, he did not let the guys go, but still paid for them. Not only that, he also doubled the monthly salary of each guy, and these guys had followed Lao Kui for so many years.

Therefore, this feeling is far more important than that money.He refused to say anything, and even promised to restore the prosperity of the distillery to the past.Kui Jiu was also very moved to see the guys so loyal.He knew that there were things more important than money in the world, and that was the friendship of these years, as well as the hope and longing for the future of the winery.

Time flies, time flies, three years of filial piety have passed, Kui Jiu and his staff can finally handle the reopening of the winery, everyone is working hard, putting their hearts in one place, from raw materials, brewing, sales, publicity And so on all the links have done enough articles.

What they didn't expect was that after three years, the golden sign of Kui Jiu Distillery was still charming. When it opened, regular customers poured in from all directions and formed a long line, blocking the street. It was full, and the mellow and tangy aroma of fine wine wafted from the wine shop and permeated the whole street. Customers queued up to enjoy the familiar good taste.The scene from three years ago reappeared at this time. It must be said that Kui Jiu and the rest of the guys persevered and made the winery regain its youth.

After the winery opened, it quickly got on the right track, followed by a series of repeated things.Kui Jiu is extremely busy. In the past, it was his father who planned and managed these big and small affairs. He just helped him, so he didn't feel anything. Now, the big and small things are completely on his own. On his shoulders, he felt an invisible pressure.Compared with the previous physical fatigue, this worry is even more tiring. After all, it is not an easy task to do everything well.

On this day, he was serving drinks to customers queuing up at the wine shop, when a strange thing happened.

The golden signboard of Yuelai Winery on the opposite side fell to the ground and was cut into two sections.The storefront was smashed into a mess, and the large and small wine jars in the house were also smashed to pieces.

The shopkeeper Zhang Yuelai hadn't opened for three days. Today, he wanted to get some good wine from the winery, but he was surprised to see that the good winery was smashed into a mess, so he hurriedly reported the matter to the government office.

After hearing this, Xuan Gao, the magistrate's yamen, was furious. Who would act so recklessly, and dare to smash the wine shop so badly in broad daylight? There is no law for this.He ordered a strict investigation into the matter.

After a detailed investigation, Xuan Gao started from the motive of the smasher.Analyzing the case, he arranged for people to check in detail the people around Zhang Yuelai, the shopkeeper, and the general response was that the shopkeeper Zhang Yuelai is usually kind and friendly, and there are very few people who can't get along with him. .When they heard that their store was smashed, they were all very surprised. What kind of hatred is this?In this way, the motive of this deep hatred should be ruled out.

Xuan Gao thought about it from the perspective of the wine shop business, could it be a grievance between colleagues?Through the servants' understanding of the situation and the information conveyed, the opposite of Yuelai Winery is Nakuijiu Winery. After all, this colleague is an enemy!This possibility cannot of course be ruled out.So he arranged for the police to come to Kui Jiu Winery.

At this time, Kui Jiu was making drinks for the customers. Seeing the two pus coming soon, for some reason, he hurriedly asked the guy Xiao Ma to take the guy from his hand and continued to make drinks for the customers, but he greeted them inexplicably. Come over and say very kindly: "You two masters! What can I do for you? The wine in the shop is mellow and delicious. You two masters can take two jars to taste!" Then he prepared to bring wine to the two policemen.

Kui Jiu's heart is like a mirror, these two must be greedy for alcohol, come here to ask for it, this is also what businessmen often encounter, who in the yamen can afford it!Usually some small favors are unavoidable.

One was fat and the other was thin. The fat one said with a very serious expression: "Young shopkeeper! You don't need to be so busy! Our two brothers came to see you today for an important matter. Do you know that the person opposite you is What happened to Yuelai Winery being smashed?"

Hearing this, Kui Jiu was taken aback. When the store opened in the morning, he saw Yuelai Winery across the street was smashed beyond recognition. At that time, he was still a little puzzled. He was fine yesterday!How could it be smashed like this overnight?He felt very puzzled.However, seeing the serious expressions of the two policemen, one could feel the seriousness of the matter. It was obvious that there was something strange about this matter.

Kui Jiu thought about it for a second, could it be that he suspected himself, and an ominous premonition came to his heart. "
