Don't Be My Old Man [Entertainment]

Yang Li's acting skills are undoubtedly a surprise to the director.

Originally, Director Liu had already prepared that the other party would not know how to act, but Yang Li actually acted decently. He couldn't see the mediocre acting skills of the past at all. How could Director Liu be unhappy?

It's like buying a lottery ticket and winning the prize!Although Yang Li's performance cannot be said to be so wonderful, it is not difficult to complete the role of Chu Shuiyun so far.

That's right, anyway, he is also an artist signed by Zheng Wushu, how could it be possible that he can't act at all?

People's mentality is actually very strange.There is not much reaction to the improvement of 85 points for people with [-] points, but it will surprise people if a person who fails the test suddenly gets [-] points.

Yang Li felt the same way to the director at the moment.

The director didn't know what kind of magic Zheng Wushu used to prevent a person with such mediocre acting skills from reaching this level all of a sudden.

At this point, the director was really relieved.

As long as a few leading actors can't lose the chain, the rest is easy to talk about.Even, the director couldn't help but think for a while, it would be better if all the investors who plugged in were Yang Li's level.

Yang Li was able to live comfortably in the crew, and Xiao Yang's tavern at home was also opened in a hurry.

The location of the tavern is not far from the entrance of the town. It is a single house, so it is easy to find.There is not much popularity here, but fortunately, the road is spacious and looks very decent.

At first, the parents thought it would be good for them to rent a small shop, but they couldn't stand up to Yang Li's "richness" and the persuasion of the wealthy guests, so they gritted their teeth and bought a big one.

In the words of these wealthy guests, "you can't lose face."

When they took the wine and went back to brag with their friends, it would be easier for people to find the address.Besides, if the smell of wine in the tavern does not waft out, there will be no sense of mystery.But if it is crowded with other stores, it will definitely be disgusted.Could it be possible to make wine less fragrant for others?This is putting the cart before the horse.

When mom and dad heard it, they felt it made sense, so they didn't insist anymore.

After the opening of Xiaoyang Tavern, there were almost no customers.

When ordinary customers see this decoration, they will subconsciously feel that the things inside are expensive, just look at it; those who are rich will not rush to buy unknown wine, it is not good to drink, but the news of fake wine is harmful It can be found everywhere, and everyone cherishes their lives.

Mom and Dad are both a little worried.

Although they bought the storefront themselves, they invested all their wealth in it.Even in order to raise money, the new house that Yang Li bought for them before was transferred to someone else before the transfer of ownership, so as to raise enough money.

Anyway, this store has three floors, so it's the same for them to live here, there is no shortage of places to live, and it's convenient.

But it hurts to see so much money thrown down without even making a sound.

Duan Chi's father advised them not to worry, he will hold a reception soon, which will naturally increase their reputation.

Of course, Father Yang and the others had to watch the tavern, and they couldn't come because it was too far away, but Yang Li could come.

Yang Li is doing very well in the crew these days, and the director also likes him, so it's okay to ask for a day off occasionally.

"Invite me to the reception?" Yang Li was surprised, "I can't sing or dance."

"It's not about singing and dancing. If it's singing and dancing, then I'll be there." Duan Chi said angrily, "It's just that my dad brought a lot of wine back from your house last time, and there is no one to show off to. Now I plan to invite someone to come." You know, he is a master at drinking, but he is so-so in wine tasting, not expert enough. You can just come over to help, and then you can also make your tavern famous."

Yang Li immediately understood what Duan Chi meant.

"Come on, let me tell you a time. The director and I will take a leave of absence." Yang Li remembered her mother's worries about the family's business before, and knew that this was a good opportunity, so she immediately agreed.

"It's just this Saturday." Duan Chi said with a smile, "it just so happens that you also tell me about your crew. If you are short of a character who is more attractive, you can call me. I will give you a half discount for the film, really No, it’s okay for free.”

"Haha, okay, I will call you if there is one!"

The reception at Lao Duan's house is quite famous among the bosses who love wine.

Of course, Duan Chi's father, Duan Youliang, was originally a good man. He had countless friends. A few more receptions might lead to a few business deals. How could no one want to come?After going back and forth, they have gained some popularity.

Their receptions are not messy, and no one will bring any little honey lovers. The most common thing is that each of them brings their newly-purchased wine to show off.

Duan Youliang asked himself that the previous few receptions had been upstaged by outsiders, but this time he must find the venue again.

A week in advance, Duan Youliang started to send invitations to his friends, boasting that he had won a lot of good wine, and invited everyone to taste and taste.

When the time came, the friends came with their favorite wines.

"Old Duan, old Duan, look at me, my 25-year-old daughter!" A wealthy businessman was triumphantly holding a jar of fine wine, secretly proud that the first place in the reception this time must be his own, "That family has two daughters. , when his daughter was born, he brewed two jars of Nurhong and prepared to take them out to entertain guests after his daughter’s wedding. I happened to bump into him, hehe, his daughter’s wedding room was short of a down payment, so he gave up the jars of Nurhong to I, come, you smell it, is it fragrant?"

The rich merchant opened the lid, and the aroma of the wine wafted out immediately.

"This taste is very mellow." A boss couldn't help but exclaimed, "I have also drank 20 years old before. Hey, these wine sellers are really dishonest now. They dare to tell you that it is 20 years old if they are five years old. Liquor, other programs and crafts can be updated, only time cannot be changed."

However, it takes 20 years to make wine, which is too much a test of patience. How many 20 years can one live?

"Let me have a taste." The other wealthy businessmen couldn't bear it, and came over with their own spoons.

After a closer look, I realized that the color of this altar of daughter red is extremely beautiful, exquisite and translucent like amber, pure and lovely, just looking at it makes the mouth water.

"Wait, dig less! I plan to drink this pot for a few years." The rich businessman stared angrily, "It's full, don't drink too much, this wine will have enough aftertaste, when the time comes, the traffic police will sentence you Drunk driving!"

"Hey, I have a driver."

"I have it too."

"I'll take a bite too."

I was already attracted by the aroma of the wine, and I was blown like this by the rich businessman, how could I not try it?Besides, don't look at the rich businessman blowing his beard and staring, but he didn't stop everyone from tasting wine. Does it mean anything?

This old boy is dishonest, he must have got more than one jar of Nurhong, maybe he still has a few jars at home, otherwise he couldn't come here with a jar full of joy.

Yang Li also went up to dig a little, and poured a small cup.

At first everyone was very curious to see Yang Li, a young man with such a face, but the old Duan said that he was his son's friend and a drinker, so he didn't say anything more.

Everyone knows what his son Duan Chi is doing now. The fact that the old Duan failed to praise his son is not news among friends like them. Those who should laugh have laughed for several rounds.

What kind of wine can such a young man know?Young people feel that they are drinking too much after drinking a few more beers.

The rich businessman originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Yang Li, he just dug a little bit and it was fine.

Yang Li was really curious about this daughter Hong.

Shaoxing has been famous for producing Nuuhong since ancient times, but the real Nuuhong is becoming less and less, and even fewer are of high vintage.If you have such a leisurely way to brew wine, you must be an alcoholic yourself. If you can't drink enough by yourself, how can you share it with others?

In fact, Yang Li's family has also brewed a few jars of daughter red.

When Yang's mother was pregnant with Yang Li, she loved spicy food. Everyone said that she was a sour and spicy girl. Yang's father wholeheartedly thought that this would be a beautiful little girl like a daughter-in-law. As soon as she found out she was pregnant, she was very happy to make wine.

As soon as the result was born, well, bring a handle.

At the beginning, my father brewed a full twenty jars of Daughter Red. Because Yang Li was born, he opened a jar to drink every few years, and now there are only four or five jars left, so I don’t continue to drink it. .

It's all 25.

Yang Li felt that their daughter Hong might break the record, because he didn't plan to get married, and she might have to drink it by herself in the future.

Seeing this 20-year-old daughter red at the reception of Duan's family, how can I bear it?Immediately spoon some to drink.

After drinking a cup, Yang Li pondered for a while.

Well, this rich businessman was cheated.

What 20 years, at most ten years, and some water has been added!

He just said, the aroma of this wine is not as good as the one he drank when he was in junior high school, and he thought it was because the wine maker was not professional enough!

"What's the matter?" Duan Chi sneaked over, and he also took a sip, "Is it true?"

"Half-true, half-false." Yang Li blinked and said, "Actually, ten-year-old Nurhong is considered rare. I can't say it's a fake, I can only say that it's not so real."

"Pfft." Duan Chi laughed softly, "You don't know, my uncle has the best face, because he has been cheated a lot, and thanks to his family's great career and a good wife, otherwise he would have been cheated a long time ago." People are so deceived that they can’t find North.”

Yang Li also laughed.

"How about it, old Duan, doesn't it taste good?" The rich businessman looked at Duan Youliang triumphantly, "I heard that you also got a few jars of good wine, take them out for the brothers to taste?"

"Don't worry, Yang Li, come here." Duan Youliang waved at Yang Li, and said to the drinkers, "Although Yang Li is young, his ability to taste wine is extraordinary. Come on, Yang Li, tell me about this daughter Hong."

"What does a kid know?"

"Old Duan, don't fool me." The rich businessman frowned, "Either you just admit defeat quickly, what's the matter with you finding a junior?"

"Don't worry, Yang Li, tell me." Duan Youliang's eyes are so sharp, when he sees Yang Li talking and laughing with his son, he knows that there is something wrong with his daughter.

Yang Li looked at Duan Youliang with some embarrassment, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident, this really needs to be told the truth, wouldn't it be a bit too hurtful?

"Say it." Duan Youliang affirmed, "My friend has not been cheated once or twice. Everyone knows that there is nothing you can't bear."

"Old Duan, what are you talking about?" The wealthy businessman was not happy, "It's okay to be cheated before, everyone has tasted the taste of this altar girl, it's not bad!"

"Yes, this taste is very special, and it is different from those daughter reds on the market."

"I also think the authenticity of this jar of wine is very high."

……

Yang Li cleared his throat, and said slowly, "Actually, the altar girl red you bought is genuine, but the time has to be discounted in half. I think it should be something like 12 or [-] years, and it can't be regarded as a lie." , is a little exaggerated."

"You think it's right?" The rich businessman sneered, "Who wouldn't say empty words? Duan, you wouldn't use a young man to fool me, would you?"

"Don't worry." Yang Li tried his best to put on a sincere look, looking very well-behaved, "Listen to me and tell you slowly."

"It's okay to listen to him." A boss stood up and spoke to Yang Li.He was also one of the people who followed Duan Youliang to Yang's house to buy wine. As soon as Duan Youliang said that this person was called Yang Li, he immediately knew who he was.

This is a family tradition. Professionals, I don’t know how much alcohol I have drank since I was born. I am not very old, but when it comes to drinking, I may be older than them!

This old paragraph is also true, at least save some face for others.

"The reason why this Nurhong is special is mainly because of its unusual color and fragrance. Because it is rice wine, the color of Nurhong is mostly amber, and the clearer it is, the more precious it is. In this regard, the Nurhong you bought is indeed It’s rare, and it’s not surprising that you’ve been tricked by such a beautiful color.”

"Are you trying to say that this color is fake?" The wealthy businessman heard a little trick.

"Color is the most convenient to fake in terms of color and fragrance." Yang Li smiled, "But I can't tell you how to fake it. It's a commercial secret. Besides, it's just for better wine sales. I can't smash it." Its signature. Let’s talk about the fragrance and taste. Although this altar also has the fragrance of daughter red, it is not strong enough. The fragrance of daughter red is rich and fragrant. If it is really 20 years old, we can smell it even if we stand at the door, but this The altar does not have such a strong fragrance."

What Yang Li said was a bit dry, and those who really had something to do went to the door and stood there, and they really didn't smell much.

They don't have much ventilation here, and the living room is big. If they want to smell it at the door, it may take some time.

"After talking about the fragrance, let's talk about the taste." Yang Li smiled, ignored everyone's strange eyes, but continued, "Nurhong's wine has six flavors, sweet, sour, bitter, pungent, Fresh, astringent, and harmonious fusion of six flavors form the unusual style of Nurhong. Therefore, it tastes fresh and sweet, leaving a fragrance on the lips and teeth. This altar of Nurhong has all six flavors, but the sweetness and umami taste have been downgraded. The sour taste is slightly heavy, I think, apart from the difference in the year, it should be that the raw materials are not good enough.”

The best Nuuhong should be brewed with high-quality glutinous rice and koji wheat, and the water from the center of Jianhu Lake in winter is the best.If there is no water in the center of the lake, water from mountain springs can also be used.However, Yang Li guessed that the original owner of this daughter's red probably used well water, and the quality of the well water was average, which made the smell of this daughter's red a bit strange.

The longer the time, the more drinkable the water will be.In particular, most of the wines in their country are made of glutinous rice, so the difference in taste is particularly obvious.

"Nonsense." The rich businessman blushed at Yang Li's words, even though he believed Yang Li a little in his heart, his face was still stiff.

Yang Li obediently did not speak any more.

Others also want to save face, and the little fence is very considerate.

"Hey, come on, why don't you try the wine I bought." Duan Youliang greeted, and soon asked people to take out all the eighteen kinds of wine he bought, and opened the jar.

All of a sudden, different aromas of wine wafted out and merged together to form a wonderful aroma.If a person with a light drinker is here, I am afraid that after a few more sips, he will be slightly tipsy.

"Although the age of these wines is not high, they are good in raw materials and have a solid and dense taste. You can try them to your heart's content. If you like them, you can take some back."

Duan Youliang's generosity surprised everyone.

Immediately, a few friends came forward to dig up some wine and drank a few sips, "Old Duan, why are you so generous? This wine tastes very good. If it lasts longer, it will be a treasure!"

"It's easy to talk about, but it's just a few years of wine." Duan Youliang felt very face-saving, "Actually, I'm not the only one who bought it, Lao Zhang and the others also bought it before."

"Not bad, not bad, we bought it too haha."

"Come on, didn't you say you didn't drink enough last time? Let's drink at Lao Duan's place. I'm still waiting to receive the wine. It's not as good as Lao Duan."

"Okay, okay, try it too." A few other friends came up and put his shoulders on the shoulders of the wealthy businessman and let him go down the steps, "Although what you bought is not a 20-year-old daughter red, it is more than ten years old. Although the wine here is also very good, but after all, the age is a bit younger, after all, the most outstanding thing in this reception is your daughter Hong."

"That's right, come and drink, you won't return if you're not drunk."

With the persuasion of his friends, the face of the rich businessman also improved a lot.

In terms of quality, the Nurhong he brought was indeed better, but in terms of quantity, he failed completely.

Needless to say, the money he paid for these daughters' red flowers was probably several times that of Duan Youliang's wine, and he always felt a little uncomfortable.

Duan Youliang, as if he didn't see his friend's eyes, smiled and greeted everyone to drink, haha, his son invited Yang Lilai, it was really the right thing to invite, and he turned around and invested money in the play his son participated in!

"Anyway, I can't drink it." Duan Chi looked at the excited faces of these uncles, pulled Yang Li aside and sighed, "As for it? Anyway, it looks the same to me."

"How can this be the same?" Yang Li said seriously, "Just like you like different beauties, there are thousands of differences between these fine wines. If you say that, then I can also say that all beauties are the same, but you think you can Is it the same?"

Good wine and beautiful women have always been an inseparable part throughout the ages.And the wine table culture prevalent in their country is actually one of the inheritances of wine culture, but the way of inheritance is not so formal.

"Okay, I made a mistake." Duan Chi corrected himself when he realized his mistake, "Xiao Lili, all of these are well-connected. Today your wine is famous, and you won't have to worry about sales in the future."

"Well, the wine they drink must be old." Yang Li nodded helplessly, "But what my parents want is to promote it, and it's best to let ordinary people drink it enough to like it. Boutique routes increase fame, but recognition still needs public approval.”

"Then...then what do you want to do?" Duan Chi was stunned, as long as the money is not enough, these people at the reception can spend a lot of money for good wine, one person can be worth thousands of people, but Yang Li doesn't seem to really want to make money.No, it cannot be said that it is impossible to make money. It should be said that there are other pursuits besides making money.

"My parents' Taobao store training courses have been completed, and I want to officially register one in a few days, advertise, and put a batch of rice bars on the shelves first, which can be drunk by almost everyone, and the speed is fast. "Yang Li thought for a while, and still said his thoughts.

"Advertising?" Duan Chi was stunned for a moment, "Then what TV station do you want to put on? Why don't you go to your boss and ask if "Sword Family" still needs a title sponsor? This drama is recognized by the industry. The king of the drama, the three-channel simulcast plus the certification of the whole network, it is unreasonable not to be popular. I heard that the film will soon come out in a few days."

"No, no, no, I don't have that much money." Yang Li quickly waved his hand, joking, the title sponsor of "Sword Family" is about to lose his head, and giants in mobile phones, home appliances, beauty cosmetics and other industries are all watching, Yang Li Even from the time when the Three Emperors and Five Emperors started selling wine, they still can't earn this advertising fee!

"Then you are...?" Duan Chi asked cautiously.

"I plan to use my Weibo to advertise." Yang Li said righteously, "I will mention it when I become popular, even if the first batch of people are my fans, I believe that as long as everyone drinks it, they will understand of."

Duan Chi looked at Yang Li speechlessly, feeling that he was looking at a shocking idiot.

If Yang Li really did this, he doesn't know how many people will praise his family's wine, but being ridiculed and hacked is inevitable. There will probably be a bunch of people scolding him for being crazy about money.

Haven't you seen those celebrities who sell clothes and sell their own brand masks have been ridiculed for more than a few rounds?If you want to become a popular shopkeeper on Taobao, the best time has already passed!

"Why, you don't think so?" Yang Li asked suspiciously, "Everything is difficult at the beginning. My family's wine has a formal business certificate, and there is no problem in the procedure. Besides, my family's fine wine will definitely be limited at that time. The price will not be high, and the first batch will be given back to the public.”

Duan Chi had nothing to say, so he could only change the subject abruptly, "By the way, didn't you ask your uncle to find wild ginseng for you, did you find it?"

"They are all of average quality." Yang Li sighed, "Recently, my uncle's business is not very good. There is no way. In the past two years, there have been too many unscrupulous merchants who sell dried radishes as wild ginseng. My uncle's It has also been affected a lot.”

"My dad seems to have received a few boxes of wild ginseng for his birthday a few days ago. I'll find it for you when I go back." Duan Chi said indifferently, "You're welcome to pick a few at that time."

After finishing speaking, Duan Chi added another sentence, "Just give me 100 yuan, so that I don't say that I am taking advantage of you. For a rich second generation like me, if you don't take advantage of me, people will think I am stingy! "
