Don't Be My Old Man [Entertainment]

"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Yang Li went straight to the house.

As soon as the door was opened, there was a strong aroma of fruit wine.

Ok?

It tastes like pear wine.

In winter, the fruits are not as abundant as in summer and autumn. Although there is no shortage of other varieties of fruits, they are relatively more expensive, and it is not cost-effective to use them to make wine.Fruits like apples and pears are more convenient and taste better.

"Little Lili is back." Seeing Yang Li's appearance, her mother was a little taken aback, "You're thinner, whiter, and look better than before. Xiaolili, have you had plastic surgery?"

"...Mom, you are really my own mother." Yang Li heard her mother say this as soon as she came back, and almost didn't come up, "I have a team to take care of my styling, teach me etiquette, etc. If it doesn't look good , I don’t have the face to work in the entertainment industry.”

When he came back this time, he had already applied for it, and there was almost two catties of fat space!

Ah, he really wants to eat meat.

In the past, when I had no money, I only thought about making money. Now that I am a little richer, my biggest thought is to eat a good meal of meat.

Life is so impermanent.

"Your father is making pear wine." Mom smiled and hugged her son, "What are you carrying? It's so heavy?"

"Special products." Yang Li put down the bag, "Our boss asked me to bring back these supplements. Among them is a set of skin care products, which are especially suitable for you, mother."

This set of skin care products is a proper lady's brand, and the price of a single bottle is already painful for ordinary people.With such a complete set, the price is even more amazing.But it doesn't matter, their boss is the spokesperson of this set of skin care products, and the other company gave dozens of sets to the people in their studio, which is definitely enough as a gift.

Going to work in the studio of a top superstar, in addition to the normal salary allowances and bonuses, the luxury of these endorsements is also one of the benefits.It doesn't matter if you give it away, use it yourself, or sell it back, the odds and ends add up to almost double your income in one year!

"I know, it's Wushu's endorsement." Mom's eyes lit up when she saw the skin care product, but she cared more about Zheng Wushu's endorsement and gift than skin care products.After all, their family is a brewer, and it seems that their skin is much younger than ordinary people, and they don't have such an urgent need for skin care products.

I knew that Zheng Wushu was the best representative of her son in her mother's heart!

Yang Li couldn't laugh or cry.

"The meals are all ready, and they are all your favorites." Mom put away the things in different categories, "Your dad also took out the jar of Sanhua wine in the wine cellar on purpose. Don't look at your dad who usually says you Talk a lot, but after all, you are the only one who can drink with him."

This is not a bad thing to say, there are many people who drink, but few people know how to drink.As a brewer, Dad not only understands wine, but also knows about wine. Unfortunately, there are not many drinking friends, and it is basically impossible to chat with him.After Yang Li was born, he was able to chat with his father under the influence of his ears and eyes.When Yang Li grows up, learns crafts, and goes to university abroad, combining experience with scientific theories, he will be able to talk to his father more.

Yang Li touched his belly, thinking that it was impossible for him to develop abdominal muscles anyway, so he decided to give up his life to accompany the gentleman, "Dad at Sanhua Bar is really willing. As long as the food and drinks are delicious, I will accompany Dad for two drinks." cup."

Sanhua wine needs to be steamed three times and boiled three times. It is one of the two treasures of rice-flavored Xiaoqu wine. Extracted slowly from the water of the Lijiang River, it takes almost three times as much effort as ordinary wine before and after, so that the authentic taste can be obtained.

For a small winery, such time-consuming and labor-intensive wine is undoubtedly not suitable for sale. In addition, the materials must be obtained from other places, so Yang Li's family only brewed ten jars and put them in the wine cellar.Now one after another, there are almost no five altars left.

If someone else's family inherits an inheritance, it is probably a house, a car, jewelry or something.But if it was Yang Li's family, there would only be an entire cellar of fine wine.

Yang Li still remembers that when he was very young, his father's master needed an operation because of illness, and he couldn't afford the money.Dad took out a jug of wine from the cellar, and after going out for half a month, he exchanged the money back. Although the master left in the end, at least the operation was a success, and he lived a happy life after a few years.

Things like wine are getting less and less.

Over time, the storage conditions will become more stringent, and even to a certain extent there is a danger of deterioration.But a jar of good wine may take decades to brew.A generation of brewers started from consciously making wine for themselves, and when they were about to die of old age, they probably could only make a jar of wine that they cherished.

This generation of the Yang family has inherited an interesting rule left by their ancestors, that is, each generation of craftsmen brews a jar of wine for themselves after they have successfully learned the art, regardless of the type, and it is not limited to the existing wine or self-created wine. The altar is not opened until the time of death, and relatives and friends are invited to drink it together as a farewell.

In my impression, the most delicious wine Yang Li had ever drank was almost the same bowl of wine that the old master invited the whole family to drink before he died.The master's life was extremely rough, and he also experienced many years of turmoil, so the jar of wine he brewed was very strong.

In my impression, the time Yang Li remembered getting drunk was when he drank the farewell wine.

When Yang Li walked into the living room, the table was already covered with his favorite dishes, and his father was sitting beside him, with the jar of Sanhua wine beside him.

Dad looked Yang Li up and down, and smiled, "Just now I heard your mother say that you had plastic surgery, it's not bad, it's indeed better than before, and you look like a man."

Look, Dad just can't talk.

What does it mean to have a personality?

Even when he killed Matt in the second shot, he was still the most handsome in the entire county!

"Plastic surgery is not necessary." Yang Li poured himself a glass of wine slowly, "Although my innate genes are not very good, but fortunately, I worked hard the day after tomorrow, and it is both fitness and maintenance, so I can see more than before. gone."

Dad pretended not to hear Yang Li's teasing, raised his glass and took a sip.

Well, it has been a long time, and the taste of the jar of wine that was opened three years ago is a little different.

The father and son talked without saying a word, sometimes they tasted the taste of the wine, and sometimes they talked about the family business, which was very enjoyable.The mother is relatively simple, holding the mobile phone and starting to watch the TV series played by Zheng Wushu, then eat slowly, and wait for the father and son to talk slowly.

Only when his son is around, Yang Li's father can drink to his heart's content, after all, he has something to talk about.

After drinking more than a dozen cups, Yang Li also became a little drunk.The wine at home is different from the one outside, and this is not small, "Dad, Mom, actually, besides seeing you this time, I have another news to tell you when I come back this time, but don't rush to be happy, it may not be successful yet." .”

If you want to get good wine from your father, it is tantamount to cutting his flesh, it is better to directly explain the stakes.

"That's right, CCTV is currently planning a program called "Special China"..."

Yang Li talked about the influence and positioning of this program in detail, and then said what Wang Chuhong said before, telling them that many people stared at this program, and it was very difficult to succeed in the position. It's just a chance.

By the time Yang Li finished speaking, Dad had stopped drinking, and Mom had also suspended the TV series.

They are all thinking.

"CCTV." My mother sighed, "I really believe in the programs run by the state. If we can really be on this program, our family will not only have no worries about selling wine, but I'm afraid there will be no shortage of apprentices."

"How can it be so simple?" Dad frowned. "I don't know how many brewers like me are all over the country. I'm afraid everyone will stare at it."

Who wouldn't want the chance to become an instant hit?

Thinking about how many dishes the "Bite of the Tongue" series has made popular before, this time the investment is bigger and the influence is wider. I am afraid that more people will grab this opportunity.

"Hey, what do you parents mean..."

"Of course you must, otherwise you have no intention of inheriting my craftsmanship. Wouldn't the inheritance of our ancestors be ruined in my hands?" Dad said firmly, "I also told you about the history of our craftsmanship. But I learned the art from the best winemaker in the palace. At that time, the palace almost included the secrets of famous wines from all over the world. Your grand master later traveled all over the world to learn the craft. If it wasn’t for the turmoil in the country...we wouldn’t have reached this point .”

It can be regarded as a rough fate.

I don't know how it happened, starting from Taishifu's generation, almost all the brewers of their generation are honest and honest, and they are not very lucky.There is not much custom of drinking in this place, but it is better to have a stable life and barely survive.Finally, the economy took off. With the support of local governments and other famous wines from all over the country, a hundred flowers bloomed, and new craft winemaking technology developed vigorously. As a result, there was no place for this small handmade workshop that was more crowded.

It's not that they can't make those famous wines, but the time, cost, and energy it takes can't be compared with other companies?Coupled with the emergence of various counterfeit and shoddy products, many people have changed their faces when talking about the workshop, making life even more difficult.

When Yang Li went to study brewing engineering, he actually wanted to understand the difference between new craft brewing and ancient brewing.But after studying the system, Yang Li understands that new craft winemaking methods are the general trend these days. They have undergone systematic quantitative standards and artificial winemaking environments, which can not only produce wine quickly and well, but also guarantee the taste.

However, the ancient method of winemaking relies on craftsmanship and experience, and sometimes it depends on whether God will give it or not, and there are too many limiting factors.Of course, the ancient method of brewing wine can sometimes produce top-quality wine because of the right time and place, but the chances of this are really small and it takes a lot of effort.The group's wine is different, at least it can guarantee that the bottles are all seventy or eighty cents.

It was the best of times, and it was the worst of times.

Of course, Yang Li's father can also rely on his own income to become a winemaker or consultant in a large wine industry group, but in this way, he can almost only brew one kind of wine in his life. It should also be branded as a group.

Wine is like tea, different people brew different tastes.

"I don't know if it will be possible, but I have the same idea as you, Dad, and we must work hard. I will take some materials and videos of our winery in the past. What kind of fruit wine is there at home? I also bring a little to others to taste."

"I need to bring fruit wine, but I have a bottle of self-brewed willow, you can also take a bottle. We want to compete with other wineries for this opportunity, and we must be better than others." Dad was silent for a long time, biting He gritted his teeth and said.

"Yangliu?" Yang Li was really a little stunned, "I haven't even drank it, Dad, you are too willing."

My father's surname is Yang, and my mother's surname is Liu. This Yangliu wine is a homonym. It was specially brewed when my parents got married, and it is also a pot of wine that my father has learned from his life.Only on the wedding anniversary of my parents, my father was willing to take it out to drink with my mother.

Yes, drink with mom.

It has nothing to do with this little bastard Yang Li!

In the words of his father, this is the love between him and his mother. If he wants to drink it, he waits for someone to brew it himself. Don't come to drink theirs. The angry Yang Li had a cold war with his father for two or three days when he was a child!

... It is said that my father is simple and honest, but if he is really simple and honest, it is impossible for a brewer from a poor family to marry such a beautiful woman as my mother.It is said that those young talents my mother rejected at the time are all successful and famous now.

But the relationship between parents is indeed envied by Yang Li.

Decades have been like a day, although they occasionally make noise, but what mother wants dad to do, dad will do it at most with nagging.All the money in the family belongs to my mother, and occasionally my father saves some private money to buy gifts for my mother, and almost none of it is distributed to Yang Li.

When Yang Li resisted once in a while, his father bought him a bunch of exercise books as gifts when he was young. After Yang Li suffered a loss, he didn't dare to push him anymore.

"Well, next year will be the [-]th anniversary of my marriage with your mother." Dad showed a smile on his face, "The other jar of willow wine I brewed can also be opened. Hey, I brew a jar of wine for your mother every year. It's almost time. As for this pot, I guess your mother is tired of drinking it, so you can give it away."

and many more?

When was it brewed?Why doesn't he know?

Yang Li looked at his mother, and her fair skin blushed a little, and she glared at Yang Li's father, "What are you talking about?"

The pink bubbles almost drowned Yang Li.

……it is true!

Seeing his mother's reaction, Yang Li knew it.

"Am I really my own?" Yang Li couldn't help asking, "Why don't I know when you made it?"

"How could you know about the love between husband and wife? If you knew, would there still be wine left?" Dad asked Yang Li back, "You little bastard, you tortured your mother to death when you were born. Fortunately, your old man, I went to have a vasectomy later. You said that if you were not a handlebar, like your mother, I would have tolerated it, but when I was a child, I did everything when I was naughty. When I was a teenager, I still had big dreams with others. Zui family, you and I have never been so humiliated in half my life!"

"...Don't talk about it, it's shameful." Yang Li covered his face, he didn't want to recall the time when he was a sophomore in middle school.

At that time, Yang Li felt that burying a loving family was too ugly. Relying on the fact that he was "specially drinkable", after drinking more than a dozen boys in a row, he became the boss of the gang, and the name of the gang was "Big Brother". I don’t get drunk in my dreams”, mischievous every day, even stealing the wine at home when I have nothing to do, going out to blow the bottle with my brothers.

The angry old man was about to raise his blood pressure.

Later, my mother had a way. She bought a camera and a DV player and came back. She took pictures of Yang Li’s second appearance and made a video. If she had nothing to do, she would show Yang Li once. Yang Li was so ashamed that she immediately disbanded the gang. Seriously. I went to study.

Now he tried every means to destroy the video tape without success, God knows where his parents put the things?

"Come, let's eat vegetables." Mother probably felt embarrassed, and put a lot of vegetables in their bowls, trying to block their mouths.

"Okay." My mother's words were still very useful, and my father immediately ate up all the dishes that my mother cooked. Have a drink."

"Row."

... Damn, I can't eat this meal anymore.

Yang Li silently lowered his head, feeling that the reason why he has never been in a relationship is purely because his parents have been obsessed with him since he was a child.

Either he will not fall in love, or he must find someone who is more dazzling than them, so that they can also taste the pain he has suffered since childhood!

The next day, my mother got up late.

Yang Li has passed the age of thin-skinned, and he has nothing to say to his father, "Fortunately, Dad, you have a circumcision, otherwise I'm afraid I will have more than a dozen younger brothers and sisters."

"What do you want so many children?" Dad waved his hand impatiently, "Children are very mischievous, and they will leave home after working so hard to raise them. It's better for my wife to stay with me for the rest of my life. If not Everyone has a baby, and I don't want your mother to suffer. I have never made her shed tears in my life, and the worst time she cried in her life was when she gave birth to you and brought you up, and she cried because of your anger. "

Yang Li was blocked by his father and had nothing to say.

I endured it, I endured it, the wine is still in his hand.

Yang Li comforted himself, "Just wait, I will definitely find someone better than Mom in the future."

"Then I'm afraid you won't be able to find it." Dad said with a serious face, "I'll tell you, what other people said is false, and you have caught up with the good times. If your father and I were born in your era, I would It’s the DINK family you talk about. After all, if you have a child, don’t ask your mother to take it. A woman with a child is at least ten years older. Look at those second-born children, do they all look younger than your mother? Much older?"

This is true.

Having more children is irreversible for women.

But it depends on the fate of the individual. Some people like children, while others don't.Mother actually likes children very much, but after all, Yang Li spends less time with her, and father spends more time with him.Dad's workplace is at home, and he stays with his mother every day.

Mom rarely drank alcohol before, and she has learned a lot for Dad over the years, so she was able to help Dad a long time ago.

When Yang Li was boarding in junior high school, in order to find the most authentic local famous wine, his father would take his mother to travel abroad and exchange feelings with local wine makers.

...Thinking about it this way, maybe it is really impossible for me to find another person to show off in front of my father.

Yang Li was a little depressed for a moment, but Zheng Wushu's image suddenly flashed in his mind.

It seemed that he was really confused.

It's boss boss boss!

no one else.

Sober up, little fence!

Fortunately, Dad is angry, but his words still count.

Soon, Dad took Yang Li to open the wine cellar, and gave Yang Li a jar of wine and plum wine. This was brewed in the year when the rain was the most abundant and the sweetness was the highest. The taste was particularly good, mom I also like to drink, so my father brewed a few more jars.

It's not an illusion, when Yang Li took out these two jars of wine, Yang Li felt more heartbroken than when his father took out the jar of willows!

Yang Li acted as if he couldn't see, and skillfully weaved the rope, held the wine jar in his hand, and took over the jar of willows.

Because my mother prefers fruit wine, this altar of willow is almost made from various kinds of fruits. The wine is reddish, which looks a bit like orange juice.But the taste is very rich, with a little sweet and sour taste, and a faint medicinal fragrance, which is suitable for both men and women.

Well, it's better to deduct half of this altar of willows first, then invite the boss to drink together, and then give the remaining half to the program group.

Rare things are more expensive.

It's a pity to give it away without drinking it yourself.

Yang Li had a plan in mind, but his face remained calm.

"Son." Dad suddenly called out.

"what?"

"You are distracted when you have nothing to do at home, do you have a sweetheart?" Jiang was still hot, and something wrong with Yang Li was quickly noticed.

"...No, you read it wrong, I'm just too tired from work."

"Oh." Dad didn't continue to ask, "You have also learned how to make wine for so many years, and you should make a jar of wine for yourself. You young people break up and reunite too quickly. If you really meet someone you like, even In the end we can't be together, and it's a good memory to drink a glass of wine that you brewed specially for her."

"...You used this hand to soak my mother back then?"

"This self-brewed wine, what you drink is not the taste, but the heart." Dad glanced at him slowly, "I'm afraid you still have to study hard. You are not thick-skinned, and you are slow to act. How can you catch up with your sweetheart?"

"Hey, I don't have much time to ask for leave. Daddy, give me another jar of the sorghum wine you brewed earlier, and I'll go back to my alma mater to give my teacher a drink." Yang Li ignored him, and instead began to think of other ideas. "Don't be stingy, give me the strongest, I will get drunk those teachers who underestimated my skills!"

Dad took a look at Yang Li, and gave him a jar from the corner, "Well, this is a strong tonic, you can give it to your teachers. Your teachers are old, if you drink too much But there is no compensation. Bullying the elderly is useless!"

Yang Li hummed angrily, what if he bullied him?

He won't trust Yang if he doesn't drink those mentors down after he goes back!
