Chen Mo saw that the matter was about the same, so when he left, he turned around and asked, "Uncle Delin, does fourth uncle still make wine now?"
The fourth uncle in Chen Mo's mouth is Delin's younger brother, the fourth eldest, so Chen Mo's generation in the village calls him Fourth Uncle Chen. In the past, grain wine was brewed in the village, and when he went to school, he was still brewing and selling wine in the village. However, he has not been back in the past few years, and he doesn't know if he can still make wine, so he asked this question.
"Your fourth uncle still has some wine, but the quantity is much smaller. In recent years, fewer people drink it, so the time between turning on the stove becomes longer. But if you want to drink it, go to your fourth uncle and ask for it. He There are still a lot of old wines there," Chen Delin said with a smile.
"We have a good relationship. I have long missed Fourth Uncle's good wine. I haven't had it for so many years since I was in school, and I miss it a lot. Uncle Delin, I'm going to Fourth Uncle's place first." Chen Mo said with a smile. I still remember that after I went to junior high school, I basically bought Fourth Uncle’s wine. Although it was not as beautifully packaged as other wines from outside, and it was not as fragrant as some wines, Fourth Uncle brewed it from pure grains. Not only was the wine delicious, but it was also It doesn't hit the head, unlike some blended wines. If you drink too much, you will have a terrible headache the next day.
Uncle Delin smiled and said: "Go!" He also waved his hand, indicating that he would leave on his own.
After Chen Mo said goodbye to Uncle Delin, he first went to his parents' place and told them about the land contract. Then he bought the homesteads of several other households in the old house where he wanted to live. At this time, the parents didn't say much. Since their son was determined to do something, they would support it.
After lunch, Chen Mo and Chen Jianguo went out together. The father went to the families of those old houses to build relationships and talk, so that his son could feel more relaxed when he bought it. Chen Mo didn't stop him. They were all from the countryside. Some things were discussed before they were discussed on the scene. It could be handled much more smoothly, so if his father, Chen Jianguo, wanted to go, he would let him go, and he would go to Fourth Uncle Chen.
"Fourth Uncle, I'm here to see you." As soon as he arrived at Fourth Uncle Chen's courtyard, he shouted at the door.
Fourth Uncle Chen's courtyard may be said to be small, but it is actually not small at all. He is also one of the few people in the village who still lives in the old house, but the location of Fourth Uncle Chen's old house is not at the same location as Chen Mo's old house, but far away, on the other side of the village. Because the old house used to be large, the backyard of the fourth uncle's house was used as a wine-making workshop, and the front yard was just a small place.
"Oh! The second baby is here! Come in and sit down!" Fourth Uncle Chen welcomed with a smile. He heard people talk about Erwazi's return yesterday, but he never saw Chen Mo. He was planning to go to Jianguo Village in his spare time. What he didn't expect was that Chen Mo would come right now, so he was very happy.
"Uncle Fourth, I know you love smoking, so I brought you two good cigarettes." Chen Mo smiled and handed the good cigarettes he bought to Uncle Chen. Friendships between families in the village are actually very simple and difficult. You can go to your home empty-handed at ordinary times, but if you don't leave for a long time, and there are Chinese New Year and festivals, it's best to bring something with you. The gifts don't have to be expensive, they are all thoughtful, otherwise you won't be People will say they are not polite.
The good cigarettes that Chen Mo said are not too expensive. The price of a piece is no more than 100 yuan. This is also what his father told him. If the gift is too expensive, the recipient of the gift may murmur or even complain, because favors are not worth it. If you give something too good and too expensive, how will others return the favor in the future? So when giving out favors in the village, it's always about the same. Just choose mid-range items, so that the person who gives them is happy, and the person who receives them is also happy. It will also be convenient if you return gifts in the future.
This also reflects some differences. If the family is rich and the relatives are relatively ordinary, then the relatives will gradually stop communicating with each other, because the wealthy people will give high-priced items, and when they return the gift, the others will It gives me a headache, the cheap ones are said to be insincere, and the expensive ones are heartbreaking, so I gradually stop interacting with them, and there are certain reasons for that. Unless you are asking someone for something, you will buy something expensive and give it as a gift. Otherwise, in the village, it is just a matter of personal favor, and no one can say anything about it.
Fourth Uncle Chen put away the cigarette with a smile and said, "Okay, I didn't expect Erwa to still remember your Fourth Uncle's hobbies."
"Haha! I will never forget that! And I can't forget Fourth Uncle's wine. After I go out, I always miss Fourth Uncle's wine." Chen Mo also smiled. He found that after returning to his hometown, he laughed more often. It was better to be in his hometown and he felt happy.
"That's not because your fourth uncle is boasting about himself. Anyone who drinks the wine I brew here will never forget it." Fourth Uncle Chen is very proud of his wine. After brewing wine for a lifetime, his love for wine has become A habit.
"Uncle Fourth, I came to you today to buy some of your wine. I wonder how much liquor you still have in stock." Chen Mo asked directly while sitting in the main room.
"Huh? It probably weighs several thousand kilograms. What, you want to drink? If you want to drink, just tell me and I will take care of it." Uncle Chen said, for a kid who has been growing up, drinking a little wine is nothing.
"No, I want to buy all the liquor you have. I have a friend who wants to buy some local liquor made from pure grains, so I thought of you, Fourth Uncle." Chen Mo said. The wine brewed by Fourth Uncle Chen has no brand name. It is made from pure grains. It is not overpowering and is very fragrant. It is said that it is a craft passed down from the generation of Fourth Uncle's grandfather. However, among their brothers, only Fourth Uncle has inherited it, and the others have There is no inheritance and learning.
"That's it, that's it! Now the total of finished wine is more than 6,000 jins. Even if it is a round number of 6,000 jins, it costs 10 yuan per catty. What do you think?" Fourth Uncle Chen usually buys wine for 12 yuan per catty. But Chen Mo wanted it in large quantities, and he was a child of his own village, so of course it was cheaper.
"No, just pay your usual price." Chen Mo didn't want to cheat people in his hometown. He bought these wines to store them in the Qiankun Pearl. If the time was doubled and one year equaled ten years, then these wines could be It tastes better than some famous wines. Besides, with the nourishment of Qiankun Pearl full of spiritual energy, it would be strange if it doesn't become a super good wine.
"Okay! If you say so, then so be it. I won't be pretentious. When will you come to drink?" Fourth Uncle Chen asked.
"Fourth uncle, you have to help me with the wine. Send it to my old house first. You don't need to worry about the rest." Chen Mo said.
"Okay! I'll send it to you later." Fourth Uncle Chen was also a straightforward person and nodded directly in agreement. I used to deliver wine, and the car was my own small three-wheeler.
The two of them talked about common things, and Fourth Uncle Chen also took out a small jar of old wine from his collection, which was probably more than ten years old, and drank with Chen Mo. Not to mention, this wine is really fragrant and very pure.
The fourth uncle's children are all healthy, but they are all working in other places. There is no child who can inherit his family business and skills. Only the fourth aunt helps him, so when he saw Chen Mo coming, he started chatting and talked a lot about his heart. talk.
