Selling wine

  Although the dishes were all green vegetables, not even a hint of meat was seen. However, everyone still enjoyed the meal, after all, Zhang Jin, this master-level chef and master-level brewer, is not just for show, and his pairing of wine and dishes is absolutely unique. The light and refreshing small dishes and the fragrant 'assassin' (wine) are an absolute perfect match.

  Of course, the sinister 'assassin' also greatly stimulated Xiao Fei and Wei Feng under the premise that Zhang Jin and Qi Bing deliberately did not remind them. Moreover, the reactions of these two brothers afterwards were almost identical to those of Qi Bing before, even the words they said were almost exactly the same.

  The first word is unanimously "cool", and the subsequent evaluation is also "as sinister as Lao Da"!

  After the "assassin" won such a good review, the consequences of wine tasting can be imagined. The next day, when several people left, there were a few more wine jars in the trunk of the Land Rover. Eating and drinking, playing, and packing before leaving has become a habit for Wei Feng and Xiao Fei.

  …………

  On Sunday afternoon, Xiao Fei and Wei Feng's families left, Zhang Jin and Qi Bing, this lazy pair of brothers, returned to their recliners according to habit, drinking tea and surfing the internet.

  Before long, Liu Lao Da Ye, who had gone out to visit some relatives because he was afraid that these young people would feel uneasy, also sauntered back.

  Xiao Fei and Wei Feng's two families didn't have Zhang Jin's temperament after all. Although Old Man Liu had already shown a very kind and gentle demeanor, the four people from both families still appeared to be quite awkward in front of him. So for these two days, Old Man Liu was very self-aware and spent most of his time outside except for eating and sleeping.

  Anyway, there are many old men in the village of Haiwazi who play cards and chess, and they have many friends. Moreover, after these old people knew that Mr. Liu lived in Dr. Xiao Zhang's house, they became even more enthusiastic and got along very well, which made this 'old cultural youth' who should not be compatible with the villagers feel quite happy.

  "Have they all left?" Old Liu asked casually as he walked through the backyard to Zhang Jin's chaise longue after entering the gate.

  "Yeah, he's gone. I've still got work tomorrow, can't keep up with this unemployed slacker."

  "Unemployed vagrant? You're living a pretty good life as an unemployed vagrant, we people who have worked hard for half our lives can't even compare to you after retirement..." Old Man Liu muttered sourly.

  After two people chatted for a while, Old Liu casually opened his mouth: "Little Zhang, you said you brewed so much wine, can you drink it all by yourself?"

  Zhang Jin still didn't bat an eyelid, "Can't finish it? Then drink slowly! This thing isn't urgent anyway. Besides, there are many people who can help me digest it! It won't go to waste. Besides, haven't you heard? This wine doesn't fear storage, the longer it's stored, the more fragrant it becomes."

  Mr. Liu saw the direction of the conversation was completely different from what he had expected, and he became a bit anxious, "This wine may not be afraid of storage, but I see you every now and then have new brews of several tanks, won't the stored wine become more and more? Later on, if the cellar can't hold it or it's not taken care of properly and gets spoiled, wouldn't that be a waste?"

  I feel that Old Man Liu's tone has changed, and Zhang Jin only then realized that the old man had an ulterior motive. He finally raised his eyelids, which had been staring at the computer screen all along, and looked at Old Man Liu sitting beside him: "I hear that you seem to be hinting at something? Alright, you'd better be straightforward and not make me guess, what do you really want to say?"

  His face was somewhat red with shame, but he still said what he wanted to say: "I just want to ask if you sell wine?"

  "Oh? You want to buy it? I've already said so, even if I sell the wine to you, during my treatment period, you're not allowed to touch my 'assassin'." Zhang Jin stared into Liu Laoye's eyes and said.

  When Zhang Jin said that, Old Man Liu's mind was like a light bulb turning on, and he secretly rejoiced 'There's hope!'

  Then, Old Man Liu hastily picked up where Zhang Jin had left off, "Alright, alright, I won't drink it, I won't drink it. Actually, I'm asking on behalf of my old brothers. Last time, didn't they come to your place and bring back several jars of wine? Now they're almost empty, so they wanted me to ask you if you could sell them some more..."

  Zhang Jin is now getting more and more comfortable in Haiwazi Village, originally planning to live for a few years before returning to the city after reaching a certain level. But now, Zhang Jin has completely abandoned this plan and decided to settle down here. As a result, income has become a major problem. Although the fruit trees, vegetables, chickens, ducks, and fish he raised are the main source of his experience points, they don't help much with his economic situation.

  Because Zhang Jin's Master-level Gardener and Master-level Breeder were limited by the game's scale restrictions, this little bit was almost his limit. After all, in the game, these secondary occupations had always been about quality over quantity. Even if Zhang Jin raised and grew good things, how much money could he make from selling a few vegetables, poultry, fish, and meat at sky-high prices? Could that support Zhang Jin's extravagant spending habits?

  So when Old Man Liu made this suggestion, Zhang Jin's eyes lit up involuntarily. Although the experience of brewing wine is far from comparable to growing vegetables and raising chickens, in terms of economic benefits, it is much greater than growing vegetables and raising chickens.

  Although Old Man Liu and the other old men were in a hurry to find him, Zhang Jin did not intend to use tricks such as "desiring to capture but first letting go" or "valuing one's own broom" to "ask for an astronomical price". Instead, he very straightforwardly said: "Sell? Of course sell! Speak up, what price will you give?"

  Liu Lao Ye Zi is also an unqualified politician, who has no experience in price negotiations and doesn't understand that as a buyer, the price should start from a low point. He directly gave out several old men's negotiated prices, "Our intention is to still sell those few types of wine at 3,000 yuan per vat, your 'assassin' will first buy two vats at 5,000 yuan each to taste and then decide on the actual price. What do you think?"

  To be honest, the price given by Old Man Liu was already quite high. So Zhang Jin was also very satisfied and nodded in agreement. Calculating according to his maximum production capacity, he would keep one-third for himself, give one-third as gifts, and sell one-third, and the income from that would be much more than what he earned from making black money in the pharmacy department.

  Not to mention that this price is for buying entry-level fine wine! When top-grade fine wine comes out in two years, the price will be...

  What's more, Zhang Jin doesn't care about money at all now! He has no great ambitions and is 100% satisfied with his current life. As long as the money he earns can maintain his current lifestyle and save some for emergencies, he is content.
