Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1079
I saw that this old lady is still a master who cares about the country and the people, and I respectfully said: "Aunt Wu, you are so right! The country has realized this, and now the carbon neutrality is proposed internationally. The concept of harmony not only requires our country to be environmentally friendly, but also calls on all countries in the world to protect the environment together!"

Aunt Wu smiled and said: "Yes, the country and the people are making progress, not only materially, but also intellectually and spiritually. The reason why people can still live so easily is because I can see the rapid development of this society at a speed visible to the naked eye every day, and if I live one more day, I can see the fresh world outside!"

Du Shiyang comforted: "Aunt Wu, you are very healthy here, I think you may one day fly to the moon with us!"

I pursed my lips and said, "Is that maybe? That's definitely possible!"

Aunt Wu smiled and said: "You will make the old lady happy! But it's really possible, I dare not think about it! Just say that 10 years ago, when someone told me that I could see each other without meeting each other before. , how could I believe it? Now it has really come true, and you can make video calls. Some people told me that there will be a kind of railway in the future, and you can go from BJ to Guangzhou in less than a day. At that time, we took the train instead of the plane. It will take two days and three nights! Now? The high-speed rail is really invented, and it takes 8 hours. Can you believe it? Technology is really changing with each passing day!"

I hummed and said, "The advancement of technology has continuously shortened the distance between people and brought people together more closely. Otherwise, how could you have met us here?"

The more we talked, the happier we were. Before we knew it, Aunt Wu had already taken out three bottles of plum wine.

When Aunt Wu was going to get the fourth bottle, Du Shiyang and I were really embarrassed.

I stood up and said, "Aunt Wu, don't take it, we can't drink it anymore!"

Aunt Wu turned her head and smiled and said, "Is it because I'm afraid that I feel sorry for the wine? You're quite sensible. It's rare to meet a bosom friend! I'm very happy to meet you guys. I can just make wine again! My friends are not. We can meet you all the time!"

I still stopped Aunt Wu and said: "Then we won't drink any more. If you really don't feel bad about wine, then I'll have the cheek to ask you to take a bottle back, so that our family can also taste this fine liquid. You see Okay?"

Aunt Wu smiled and said: "Okay! From now on, you can come to me every year. This year you are a bit late, and I have almost delivered it. You all come to me to ask for wine. If you come, I will not give it to you." Well, this one will get two bottles, and the other one will get three bottles, not so much! Actually, I can teach you brewing, if you want to learn, I will teach you!"

I geared up and said, "Really? Then I'll just worship you as my teacher!"

But Du Shiyang gave me a blank look and said: "Are you doing nothing? Don't think that what you say is what you say! Next time you come, you will learn again, not this time!"

Aunt Wu smiled and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, since I promised you, I will keep counting. When you finish your business, you can come to me at any time, and I will teach you again!"

I said happily: "That's great, I'll come to see you as soon as I finish my work! Master!"

Aunt Wu sent the two of us away. I took the two bottles of wine that Aunt Wu gave me and put them carefully in my hand for fear of accidentally breaking them.

Back in the car, I kept complaining: "It's hard to find such a good opportunity to retreat from the world and learn a craft. Why are you stopping me from doing it?"

Du Shiyang pursed his lips and said: "Didn't you just say that it's time to stop? We still have to fight, why did you change your mind when you encountered temptation? It's just meeting an old lady. If you met a beautiful young woman, a young girl, wouldn't your heart fly a thousand miles away?"

I cut it and said: "It's getting farther and farther away. Is that an ordinary old lady? That's an old lady with unique skills. Intrigues and intrigues? If this makes me learn how to make wine, I will open a winery and sell a catty of wine for more than 1000 yuan. If I sell 10 catties a day, it will be more than 1 yuan. A month will be 30 yuan. A year It’s 360 million, where can I find this deal? There’s no risk, and you don’t need to use your brains, isn’t this business better than your experience center?”

Du Shiyang said disdainfully: "You have a beautiful idea. Can you learn it or not? Even if you learn it, do you know how many catties you can brew in a day? Also, 1000 yuan per catty? Are you dreaming? Right? Are you Wuliangye or Moutai? For a plum wine, you only want 1000 yuan a catty, what an idiot!"

I snorted and said, "It's all about marketing. What am I doing? I'm just selling things. I can't fool around when a product is in my hands. Besides, this plum wine is really delicious. Ah, you are so picky that people are full of praise, can others not say it's delicious? Good stuff, are you afraid you won't be able to sell it?"

Du Shiyang pouted and said: "That won't work either! You have to finish what you promised me first, and when this project is successfully implemented, you can do whatever you want! Now you are still mine, you have to listen to me! "

I said dissatisfied: "When did I become yours? You have to figure it out, I am here to help you, but I am not yours, and I am not your subordinate. I can help you with this matter." , but I'm not tied to your project."

Du Shiyang nodded and said: "I know, I know, no one can control you! Go to sleep, we have to hurry tomorrow morning!"

I hesitated and said, "Hurry up? Did you meet the local government officials here? The project of your experience center can't be completed by just opening your mouth. You have to explore local ideas first? If they don't have this What about intentions? You didn’t fetch water from a bamboo basket in vain!”

Du Shiyang said confidently: "These are not matters we care about. Someone will follow up on the follow-up matters. What we need to do now is to make decisions. When things are finalized, how to operate them will be done by specialized personnel. ! This is called a clear division of labor!"

I smiled and said, "Big companies are different. You don't have to do everything yourself! Don't let the people below mess it up!"

Du Shiyang said proudly: "Don't worry, I don't have anyone who can help me in the company's decision-making, but there are still many capable people in specific matters."

I said oh, "I believe this!"

Since both of us drank, we found a place by ourselves, lay down and fell asleep within a short while.

I got thirsty in the middle of the night, got up, and found that my arm was numb. At this time, by the moonlight, I saw Du Shiyang wearing a long T-shirt, showing long snow-white legs, sleeping next to me. Her head was numb.

I gently put her head on the pillow, stretched my arms, got out of bed, took a bottle of water from the refrigerator, took a big sip, looked at the scenery outside the car, and looked at it again. Looking at the watch, it was already past 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, and it was already dawn outside.

Sitting by the car window, thinking that when Mrs. Wu offered to teach me how to make wine, I was really moved. At that moment, I didn't think about anything, just wanted to let go of everything, it was really idyllic.But when I think of Yaoyang, Wei Hua, and everyone around me, including Du Shiyang who is sleeping, am I being too selfish? At least at this time, it is not suitable for me to retire. I am waiting to help Du Shiyang After completing this project, I will complete several projects in hand. The most important thing is that Weihua Group has not been destroyed by me yet.

Du Shiyang moved a bit, turned over, and then continued to fall back into a deep sleep.

I also went to bed again in a daze, and fell asleep.

In the morning, I was woken up by the knock on the door. Du Shiyang woke up first, and then pushed me, meaning let me go and have a look.

I rubbed my eyes reluctantly, got out of bed, and saw a middle-aged woman carrying a basket, I opened the car door, and heard the middle-aged woman say Trump, "Aunt Wu asked me to bring you some breakfast." !"

I gratefully took the basket and said, "Thank you so much!"

The middle-aged woman smiled honestly, waved her hand, and walked away.

Back in the car, Du Shiyang sat on the bed and asked, "Who is it?"

Holding the basket, I replied, "Aunt Wu's nanny, brought us some breakfast!"

Du Shiyang pulled his hair, combed it to his head and said: "This is too thoughtful, does this mean that you really like your apprentice?"

I cut my throat and said: "Do you think that someone with special skills can fall in love with a person like me who can't even explain his origin? He is polite! Wash up quickly, we have to hurry, we have to wait in the dark Before that, drive to Norgay!"

Du Shiyang asked puzzledly: "Why?"

I rolled her eyes and said, "Hey rice! Because if we go further, the temperature at night will not be the same as it is now. Although we have a car, we still need to charge it and add water! We can't just park on the side of the road and sleep for another night." Right? We have to find a place to stay today, and strive to reach Brother Dawa’s house at night!"

Du Shiyang asked curiously: "Who is Brother Dawa?"

I didn't answer her, but opened the basket, and saw dry noodles, soy milk, and tea eggs inside.

While picking up the tea eggs, I said, "In a while, let's go over and say goodbye to Aunt Wu, and then we'll be on our way!"

Du Shiyang held the chopsticks and wanted to eat directly, but I stopped him and said, "Pick the noodles apart first, mix them before eating!"

Du Shiyang handed me the chopsticks directly, and I reluctantly helped her mix it, and then I tried it first, it was delicious!

After eating, I thought for a long time what to give back to others, and they don’t accept money, so I know what to give?

After much deliberation, I finally had to ask Du Shiyang: "You said that he gave wine and breakfast. Do we have to give him something in return? Think about what to give him?"

Du Shiyang thought for a long time, and said, "Why don't I give some money? Send a red envelope?",

I cut it and said: "Vulgar! Last night, I wanted to give money, but no one wanted it! Do you have any valuables on you?"

Du Shiyang curled his lips and said, "No! I have nothing on me except money!"

I scratched my head and said, "Then what should I do? You can't just go there empty-handed like this? It doesn't make sense!"

Du Shiyang also thought for a long time and said: "I think we should help build roads for their house?"

I asked with a question: "Building roads? How to fix it? It will cost a lot of money, right?"

Du Shiyang smiled and said: "You see that you are not sincere in giving gifts, right? You are going to be someone else's apprentice, and building a road will make it easier for you to travel in the future! Besides, there is no ceremony for apprenticeship, I think , this road construction is the best!"

I looked out of the window, and this tree-lined path is full of small stones piled up. Although it looks very romantic and beautiful, it is really not very usable. If our car hadn’t been driven by the hard mud on the side of the road Yes, I guess they all have to fall into it.

I thought for a while and said, "Yes, yes. After repairing this section of road, we can still claim credit from the government, and at the same time give it back to Aunt Wu. I just don't know how long this section of road is and how much it will cost?"

Du Shiyang smiled and said, "I know you're stingy, so I'll just pay the money!"

I laughed and said, "That's pretty much the same! The crown prince's children are different, they really are rich and powerful!"

After entering Aunt Wu's villa, Aunt Wu was sitting in the hall, pouring new plums into a basin, and then a man in police uniform poured a bucket of distilled water into the basin, and scrubbed them with his hands continuously, Seeing us come in, she said enthusiastically, "Are you here? Sit down quickly, I'll be done in no time!"

I walked over curiously, ready to help, but Aunt Wu hurriedly stopped me and said, "You don't wash your hands, you can't touch plums. If your hands are oily, the plum wine will become moldy!"

I hastily withdrew my hand and asked, "Are you so particular?"

Aunt Wu hummed and said: "My plum wine is not the same as that made by ordinary people. First, there are three steps of washing, all of which must be washed with distilled water, without any impurities. After washing, marinate it with rock sugar. Get up, a layer of plums, a layer of rock sugar! Then add some rice wine brewed by ourselves. After three months, you can try the taste. The ratio of rock sugar, rice wine and plums is very important, one part less It just lacks the taste of wine, or the smell of plums, and the distribution of time and ingredients must be balanced. If you really want to learn, just live here with me for three months. After three months, I believe you will learn Already!"

I said sincerely: "I really want to learn, but I can't do it now. There are still many things waiting for me to do. Aunt Wu, can you see if this works? When I come back this time, I will I just don’t go anywhere, just follow you to learn the technique of brewing plum wine with all my heart, I’m really learning from a teacher!”

Aunt Wu said with a smile: "Understood, young people should have things that young people should do. Come over after you are done with your work. Aunt Wu welcomes you here anytime!"
