Chapter 267

After dinner the next morning, Confucius and his father and younger brother walked towards the wine shop together.

Because of the land planning, the Kong Family Winery is about three kilometers away from the Kong Family Village.

This is also the first time Confucius and Mencius came to his winery.

Due to insufficient funds, the Kong Family Winery only covers an area of ​​ten acres, which can be said to be very small.

But at the beginning of the establishment of the winery, Confucius and Mencius used the system to make an overall plan for it, so its output is not small at all.

The front row of the winery is a small two-story building, and the back is the factory building.

There are tricycles full of grapes coming in and out, showing its extraordinary popularity.

He followed a tricycle into the factory area, and when he saw the situation inside, Kong Meng froze for a moment.

It turned out that the square in the center of the factory building was full of people standing there.

Some of them waited quietly, while others talked in low voices.

Seeing the three Kong family father and son coming in, they immediately shouted: "Oh, old Kong Ke is here, hurry up, we have been waiting for a long time."

"Yeah, how is your wine? Show us quickly, I have three thousand catties of grapes under your pressure."

"..."

There was a lot of discussion, obviously knowing that the Kong family father and son were going to have a wine test today, so they came here early to wait.

But these voices were quickly overwhelmed by others:

"teacher!"

"Teacher Kong!"

"Mr. Kong!"

"..."

Everyone spoke only these two or three words, but they continued one after another, and the momentum was so great that Confucius and Mencius were startled.

When he saw the faces of these people clearly, he didn't know what to say.

It turned out that among these people were Long Aotian, Zheng Miao, Fang Zhenyuan and other students from Class [-], Grade [-];

There are also parents such as Long Acai and Zheng Wanqing;

Also Xie Meixuan, Zhou Qianqian and most of the teachers from Zhiyuan Middle School;

Including Fang Qiong, Lin Xiaoyu and so on.

What he is familiar with, what he is not familiar with, what he knows and what he doesn't know, all come.

No wonder no one contacted me last night. It turned out that these people had made an appointment to come directly today.

"Where are you?" Confucius and Mencius couldn't help asking despite his guesses.

Long Aotian laughed: "Teacher, your wine shop opens today. As a student, of course I want to come to support you."

As he said that, he added: "Teacher Kong, don't worry, we didn't skip class today, but came here after asking for leave from the school."

Long Acai also said: "Mr. Kong, I have to say a few words about you.

You didn't say anything about such a big matter. If I hadn't asked Xiaolong by accident, I wouldn't have known about it! "

As he said that, he clapped his hands, and suddenly four staff members in suits walked in carrying two large flower baskets together.

Long Acai immediately said: "I, Long Acai, on behalf of the Long Group, congratulate the opening of the Kong Family Winery!"

As soon as the words fell, the crowd immediately burst into continuous applause.

bang bang bang...

A large number of fireworks exploded in the air.

Although it is daytime, it does not affect its dazzling light at all.

Confucius and Mencius had black lines on his face.

What are these guys up to?
Don't you know that the country has banned fireworks and firecrackers because of environmental problems?

Then there's the issue of wineries.

He came back this time mainly because he wanted to spend more time with his parents, and as for drinking, he just followed the trend.

Why did it suddenly become the opening ceremony of the bar now?
But before he could speak, Lin Xiaoyu and Fang Qiong also walked out of the crowd.

Compared with the greasy uncle Long Ah Cai, the two young and beautiful beauties are obviously more eye-catching.

Moreover, someone had already recognized Lin Xiaoyu's identity, and when the news spread among the crowd, it immediately became even more explosive.

Lin Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Mr. Kong, although I don't have a company, on behalf of myself, I would like to wish you a successful business and wish you success."

Then two big flower baskets were brought out again, fortunately this time there were no fireworks to invigorate the atmosphere.

Lin Xiaoyu's words were like a fuse, and then Fang Qiong, Xie Meixuan, Zhou Qianqian and others came to congratulate him one by one.

In the end, even Confucius and Mencius almost believed that his winery opened today.

After the confusion, Kongmeng looked at the gap and pulled Long Aotian over: "Hey, what's going on?"

If the prediction is correct, this Long Aotian must be the middleman.

Even if he is not, he must know the cause and effect of the matter.

Sure enough, Long Aotian laughed: "Mr. Kong, didn't you hear that your winery opened? We came here specially to congratulate you."

"Really?" Kong Meng looked at the other party suspiciously, because this matter is very unreasonable.

Although he has contributed a lot to the Kong Family Winery, it is only a trivial matter to be left and right.

And although Kong Meng didn't ask, but he knew that people like Long Aotian must know that today is not the opening ceremony of Kong's winery.

It is completely unreasonable to come here on the premise that it is not the opening ceremony, and to pull everyone here.

Indeed, Confucius and Mencius helped the Long family a lot, and also indirectly helped other people.

But today's visitor is far beyond the scope of what he has helped.

The most obvious one is the teacher of Zhiyuan Middle School.

Because among these people, he has met at most one-third of them, and is familiar with less than half of them, and most of them just nod to them.

So, there must be something happening that I don't know about.

Long Aotian laughed loudly: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you, Mr. Kong.

I confess that we have so many people here today mainly because we know that you were dismissed from Zhiyuan Middle School, and we are afraid that you will be sad and embarrassing yourself.

So, I will take advantage of today's good day to give you some spiritual comfort, so that you won't be overwhelmed at home and do some irrational things..."

"Is that so?" Kong Meng frowned.

Although Long Aotian's words sounded much more reliable, he still had a faint feeling that something was wrong.

But there was no time for him to think too much, because several villagers in his own village yelled at Father Confucius:

"Old Kong, your opening ceremony is almost done, let's go to the bar first!"

Father Kong immediately looked at his eldest son, seeing Kong Meng nodding towards him, he immediately turned and entered the workshop.

Five minutes later, he pushed an iron shelf and walked out slowly.

On the iron shelf stood a super large oak barrel as tall as a person.

The body of the barrel is round and smooth, with an antique flavor. Even if the wine inside is ignored, it is still a rare work of art.

This thing was specially ordered by Confucius and Mencius who asked his father to go to a neighboring county and ask professionals to order it.

Although he didn't know much about economics, Confucius and Mencius also knew the importance of packaging for commodities.

Even the most common commodity, as long as it is well packaged, its value can be raised to a higher level.

Not to mention something like red wine, which was originally impressive.

Although friends and colleagues of Confucius and Mencius came here today with a special purpose, they also knew that this barrel of wine was the protagonist of today.

When Father Kong put the wine barrel away, they all slowly leaned over.

Of course, they were equally curious in their hearts.

Because according to Confucius' father, the red wine brewed by the Confucius family winery is the method, which was provided by Confucius and Mencius.

Regardless of teaching and writing songs, or writing poems to cure diseases, Confucius and Mencius' abilities in these aspects have been recognized by everyone.

But brewing is really the first time.

So they also want to know whether Teacher Kong's winemaking level can be as wonderful as other aspects.

Kong Meng walked over slowly, and was about to open the rubber stopper of the oak barrel, when a voice behind him suddenly said:

"Hehe, I said where did the villagers go today? So they are holding back here.

Huh, there are others?
Old Kong, I'm not talking about you, it's just a dilapidated winery.

Just buy some spices and mix them with water and sell them. Are you really planning to create a second Lafite? "

The one who spoke was none other than the main competitor of the Kong family distillery, Mr. Goudangou, the man behind the scenes who had secretly sabotaged Father Kong's preparations for the construction of the distillery.

Seeing Goudan coming, the faces of the Kong family immediately darkened.

This guy is here now, and his purpose can be figured out even with his toes.

Especially Kong Ren, the young guy knows that last time his father put in a lot of effort to set up the winery.

It was because of this person's mischief that he had to give up halfway, and he was so angry that he wanted to go to the other party to fight for his life.

If it wasn't for being held back by Kong Mu, who has quick eyes and quick hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Later, when Confucius and Mencius returned and brought the situation back in an almost miraculous way, he forced himself to suppress his anger and devoted himself to helping his father manage the winery.

I didn't expect that the winery was about to succeed, and this guy appeared again. Could it be that he was deliberately looking for a beating?
Goudan seemed to turn a blind eye to the hostility of the Kong family, he laughed and said:

"What? No welcome? I came here today with my best wishes for the successful brewing of your family's wine.

If you don't welcome me, then I will really leave. "

"You..." Kong Ren looked at the other party angrily.

The three words are not welcome, he is going to tell the other party to go straight away.

But now that the other party took the lead, he could only snort angrily, and then turned his head.

Kong Ren's performance can be clearly seen by Goudan not far away.

He secretly sneered in his heart.

Just this kid, still want to fight with himself?It's not even close.

After finishing speaking, he walked to the two villagers in the corner and said, "Lao Liu and Lao Qi, I heard that you send the most free grapes here, so you can ask for blessings."

The reason why Lao Liu Lao Qi is called Lao Liu Lao Qi is that they have five cousins.

But when it comes to blood relationship, they are real brothers.

Unlike other people who are separated from each other as soon as they get married, the relationship between the two has been very good since they were young, even if their son has reached the age of marriage.

The most obvious thing is that the land contracted by the two is cultivated together.

As the saying goes, brothers are united, and together they can break gold.

It is precisely because of this that the families of the sixth and the seventh are ranked first in Kongjia Village.

A few years ago, the Kong family made a lot of money by planting grapes, and other villagers followed suit, and the brothers were no exception.

Up to now, the two are also rare large grape growers in Kongjia Village.

It's just that Xiao He is successful, and Xiao He is also defeated.

This year's grape price crisis has also greatly affected them.

Just as they were running around in a hurry, the two heard that Goudan was going to buy grapes at a high price, so they hurried over to express their willingness to sell them.

Although the price offered by the other party is still not high, as long as the real money is obtained, the loss is still within an acceptable range.

In this regard, the simple two have thanked God and dare not ask for more.

In the end, within a few days, Goudan's behavior was proved by the boss of the Kong family that this guy's purchase of grapes was actually a scam.

Honest people are pedantic when they are honest, but once they get angry, they are the most terrifying.

Faced with being deceived, the two brothers pushed the cart directly in a rage, sending the grapes to the Kong family without paying a penny.

This is naturally a good thing for the empty-handed Kong family, but in the eyes of Goudan, it is a blatant slap in the face.

His main big client turned his back on the battlefield, and directly wiped out the little prestige left by Goudan.

Facing Goudan's provocation, the sixth and seventh raised their heads lightly:
"If you ask for more blessings, you will ask for more blessings. If I knew you were such a person, even if our grapes were thrown into the stinky ditch, we would not give them to you."

"You..." Being choked back so directly, Goudan couldn't help being furious even though he claimed to be well-mannered.

"Okay, you have a lot of money and you are self-willed, let's do it!"

As he spoke, he turned to face the crowd and said, "Fellow folks, I know that everyone has a big misunderstanding of me now, so I don't want to say anything more about it.

But there is one thing, I think it is better to let everyone know.

Do you know where the Kong family's recipe for wine comes from? "

"This..." All the villagers looked at each other, and then looked blank.

Is there a recipe for making wine?
This cannot be blamed on the ignorance of the villagers. Over the past two years, as more and more people grow grapes in the village, almost every household will make wine from the grapes they can't eat.

In their view, wine making is very simple.

The only difference between a winery and doing it yourself is whether you can spend a lot of money to build a wine production workshop.

Seeing the expressions of these people, Goudan laughed loudly, and then explained:

"Everyone, the edible wine brewed in the factory and the local wine brewed at home are two completely different concepts.

The most important of these is food safety.

During the fermentation process of grapes, in addition to alcohol, toxic liquids such as methanol and methyl ether will be produced.

The wine brewed by the local method does not need to be distilled, so its toxic liquid content is very low, almost negligible.

The winery's edible wines, however, are quite different.

Toxic liquids such as methanol and methyl ether will be enriched under evaporative conditions. If they cannot be removed, they will become what we call fake wine.

......"

After listening to Goudan's science popularization, although he didn't say a word, everyone knew the deep meaning in his words:

From the establishment of the winery to the present, the Kong family and his sons have most likely produced counterfeit wines.

In other words, even if these wines are opened, they cannot be sold on the market.

Now everyone panicked, because according to the agreement between themselves and the Kong family and his son, they wanted to get the remaining balance and a slight surplus, so they could only wait until all the Kong family's grapes were sold.

but now……

Sure enough, after Goudan's instigation, the faces of several people who were originally excited about drinking today turned pale.

If the Kong family winery really failed to sell a barrel of wine because of Goudan's words, they would lose all their money.

So someone couldn't hold back and asked, "Old Kong, what's going on?"

Father Kong looked at each other: "What's going on?"

"You are still pretending to be confused here." This time it was Goudan who spoke, "I just ask you, did your son provide you with the method you use to make wine?"

Father Kong nodded calmly: "Of course my son gave it to me.

At my level, wines of too high a standard cannot be produced. "

"Really? Then why didn't you say it earlier?"

The person who spoke just now beat his chest and stamped his feet.

In his opinion, this is not a small accident, it indicates that he is about to go bankrupt.
