Those who left the Zhang family gave up the livelihood security of the wine industry and went out to open folk martial arts gyms one after another.
During that period, the popularity of the movie "Shaolin Temple" set off a craze for martial arts across the country, which in turn led to the Zhang family who ran away making a lot of money.
Strictly speaking, today's Yonglian County is as prosperous as a small city, which has a lot to do with the opening of these martial arts schools. Therefore, the Zhang family was prosperous during that period and gained both wealth.
Fortunately, the two Zhang families have not become alienated because of this. At least they can still move around normally as before during major holidays, but only once.
The reason for this is naturally that Bian Lianxi's existence plays a key role, just because he is the chief coach of the entire Zhang family, and almost everyone is trained by him.
And no matter which generation or branch of the Zhang family, they have always maintained the biggest secret of the Zhang family, which is the identity and origin of Bian Lianxi. Even the entire Yonglian County has become a martial arts practice. Except for the Zhang family, no one outside knows about the Zhang family. There are very few things about this man.
From this aspect, it can be seen that the Zhang family is still very ethical in terms of character. The so-called phenomenon of people talking too much has almost never happened because of the persistence of people of all generations.
But after Bian Lianxi fell ill five years ago, and as his influence in the Zhang family became smaller and smaller, the Zhang family gradually gave up the idea of maintaining the bloodline of the Zhang family. Moreover, they made a lot of money and mostly stayed in the city in those years. I bought a house and moved out of Yonglian County one after another.
But two years ago, the appearance of Liu Qingshan suddenly made the Zhang family prosperous. The wine industry, which had not been open for a long time, once again began to make wine. It is said that the quality of the ancient wine that had suddenly improved was sold at sky-high prices.
It's just that people didn't know that the formula of the ancient wine was exchanged by the Zhang family who insisted on guarding it, and in exchange, Bian Lianxi was reborn.
They didn't even know that the current owner of the winery, Liu Qingshan, had not abandoned the Zhang family, but had let them collectively become shareholders and still controlled the production and management rights.
The Zhang family, who were well aware of the twists and turns, would naturally be moved by him with tears of gratitude, so under the order of the head of the family, the Zhang family of this branch would actively cooperate with Liu Qingshan's needs.
More importantly, Liu Qingshan added a spiritual substance to the ancient wine, which not only completely replaced the serious lack of spiritual medicinal materials in the original wine recipe, but also caused a qualitative change in the quality of the wine.
It’s just that they don’t know that in addition to the green-leaf sunflower that looks like okra, has red flowers, and has fruits like honey locust, it also requires the blessing of other spiritual substances.
This is the diluted stalactite marrow. Originally, only the green leaves were added, which has improved the quality of the ancient wine countless times, but it is still very different from the addition of the stalactite marrow dilution.
The only people who knew this more secret formula were Liu Qingshan, Bian Lianxi and Zhang Jinghua, and not even the second generation of the Zhang family knew anything about it.
Therefore, after today's cellar opening ceremony, only Liu Qingshan will enter the wine cellar, and Zhang Jinghua is not qualified to enter.
After diluting the stalactite marrow, and then eighty-one hours of spiritual immersion, it can be officially opened for sale, just in time for the opening of Sanrenlu on September 9.
And the current Zhangjia Winery has more than just this way of making money, because Liu Qingshan obtained an ancient porcelain formula through Xiaoxing and opened the Zhangyu Porcelain Factory not far from the winery.
It was only built to meet the bottling problem of Zhangyu Shaojiu before, but since the first batch of Zhangyu Liquor was bought at a sky-high price, the reputation of the small porcelain bottle has also been rising.
Although ordinary people do not understand the true value of this ancient porcelain, it has set off an ordering boom in the industry.
The finished products are not only porcelain bottles for wine, but also several well-known cosmetics brands have come to place orders.
In addition, tea dealers, cigar factories, and high-end gift companies have also come to place orders. You must know that the masters in the porcelain factory are all hired from the porcelain capital Jingdezhen at a high price, and they are only fired with ordinary recipes. Porcelain has a high collection value.
As a result, the business of Zhangyu Porcelain Factory is even more prosperous than the main wine industry. Now the Zhang family is extremely rich. The usual salary is not counted, but the dividend at the end of the year is enough to buy a house in the city.
At this time, the other branch of the Zhang family was moved again, and collectively called for Zhang Jinghua's cousin, Zhang Jingyue, to come forward and plan to return to the main branch of the Zhang family.
After all, they are from the same line. Although there were many dissatisfactions before and it was difficult for Zhang Jinghua to reject them, the current winery and porcelain factory were built by Liu Qingshan, and this matter must be approved by him.
Therefore, Liu Qingshan came in the middle of the night this time, and there was still this matter that needed to be settled.
He had consulted Bian Lianxi's opinion in advance on this matter. Although the latter was not a member of the Zhang family, he had developed a deep relationship with him over the past few decades. Moreover, the Zhang family had already regarded him as similar to the ancestor of the Zhang family.
Therefore, Bian Lianxi's right to speak in this regard is no lower than that of the family leader Jinghua, and his words also have the same prestige as the family head.
Since he was born in Taoism, the main purpose of Taoist thought is to advocate that Tao follows nature, tolerates nothing, does nothing naturally, and lives in harmony with nature.
Therefore, he treated the return of another branch of the Zhang family with a very calm and welcoming attitude, even though such a return was obviously driven by interests.
But he believes that the bustling world is all for profit. It is human nature to only have common interests and no permanent friends, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Because everyone has their own pursuits, if we cannot create common interests, we will not be able to survive. Only when we have common interests or goals can we work together to achieve our goals.
It can be seen that people have understood this truth since ancient times, not to mention modern people. Now we pay more attention to interests and want to maximize our own interests.
And there is nothing wrong with us getting the benefits we want through our own labor. We work not just for money, but money is the common interest of us and our bosses. It is normal for us to work hard in order to make more money. This is also a kind of benefit. Pursue.
Precisely because he recognized this point of view, Liu Qingshan came here tonight with the purpose of accepting another Zhang family. However, he was not a Zhang family and could not tell it himself. He revealed it to Zhang Jinghua in private, and he would handle this matter in detail. Things are the purpose.
Moreover, knowing that there are entangled interests, only the Zhang family can work out a more reasonable distribution of interests, but the bottom line is that the interests of him, the real big boss, cannot be cannibalized.
More than two hours of driving passed by in a flash, and just as he expected, many more Zhang family members appeared in Zhangyu Winery this time.
In the past, only the head of the family and the eldest brothers of other direct generations were allowed to attend the cellar opening ceremony. These seven or eight extra people were obviously representatives of the other branch. Although they have not officially returned yet, there will definitely be verbal recognition first. In order to show respect for the main branch and lineage, it is inevitable to make such a gesture in advance.
After Liu Qingshan got off the car, he introduced Jin Xishan, Taylor, and others around him.
They belong to the boss's side and do not need to follow the Zhang family's rules. It is reasonable for them to enter such a secret place.
In addition to his identity as the boss, Liu Qingshan's other name is a transcendent existence in today's martial arts world. The Zhang family present more or less have some martial arts practice, so they have an extra kind of respect for his arrival.
After he smiled and exchanged greetings, he called Zhang Jinghua aside and told him and Bian Lianxi's suggestions.
It is necessary to recognize the return of the other one before the ceremony, otherwise there will be no formal status and the state of those people will be very embarrassing when the ceremony begins.
This was a big deal. Even though he was mentally prepared, Zhang Jinghua still pondered for a long time before going out to discuss the matter.
Liu Qingshan would not participate in the internal meetings of the Zhang family, so he took his two daughters to take a stroll along the Yuanli River outside the factory.
The Yuanli River is an ancient river in Yonglian County. The river surface is not wide, and the narrowest part can even be crossed by an adult in one step. However, it has been flowing continuously for many years and has never stopped flowing.
Its reputation outside is not obvious, and it is even mentioned only in local gazetteers. However, it is the source of water quality for several ancient wineries in Yonglian County.
Just like Moutai, which is one of the three major distilled spirits in the world along with vodka and brandy, not only its production methods are highly confidential, but even the brewing process is listed as a world intangible cultural heritage.
The production site of Maotai is close to the Chishui River. It is said that its unique fragrance is inseparable from the water from the Chishui River. This is the same reason that Zhangyu wine is inseparable from the Yuanli River.
The soil and water support the people. Changyu Shaojiu had previously tried the idea of moving away from this place, but the quality of the wine developed made the Zhang family decisively abandon this idea. Because the wine brewed with the water quality of other places made the wine The quality is greatly compromised.
Although this narrow river is covered with dead leaves and looks like a pool of stagnant water, there is absolutely no water pollution.
This is because Yonglian County has a customary rule since ancient times, that is, no paper mills, chemical plants and other manufacturers that can pollute water quality are allowed to appear on both sides of the river or even in the surrounding areas.
The source of the Yuanli River comes from the deep mountains and old forests in the southeast. It is branched off from the mountains and streams at a not too high altitude, and finally converges into the Yuanli River, becoming a river that will never be exhausted as long as the mountain stream water is not exhausted. A clear mountain spring waterway that will stop flowing.
What makes the local people strange is that even if a flash flood occurs, the water flowing down the mountain will never flow into the Yuanli River. Instead, it will automatically flow from the mountain stream to another river, the Zhili River.
Both Yuanli River and Zhili River are taken from Qu Yuan's "Yuan Zhi Li Lan". As for why no matter how big a flash flood is, it will not flow into the Yuan Li River, there is currently no scientific basis.
That's why the locals are so attracted to this river. There has always been a folk saying that holy water comes from heaven. Even the Yuanli River does not look unique at all, let alone spectacular or fast.
Even the scenery on both sides of the river is ordinary and featureless. Just like an ordinary river in the countryside, it is not only overgrown with weeds, but also has shrubs growing across the river in the narrow places, and a lot of dead branches and trees have accumulated, making it look very unsightly.
