Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 739: Purchasing Polar Bear Wine

When Chu Xiangqian heard his master's wife's exclamation, he became nervous and rushed into the hall.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. The master's wife put Chu Jingrong on her legs with a look of surprise, and held the back of the little guy's neck with one hand.

One hand unbuttoned the little guy's cotton jacket and reached out to touch his arms and legs.

Chu Xiangqian knew at a glance that his master's wife was touching Chu Jingrong's bones. He shook his head subconsciously, thinking to himself, how could it be possible to tell whether such a little thing had a talent for martial arts just by touching its bones.

But as soon as this thought came to my mind, I remembered that I had added 5 points to my baby son's physical fitness.

Sure enough, the master's wife carefully touched Chu Jingrong's bones, then placed her hand on the little guy's left chest for a moment, then looked at Chu Xiangqian with surprise and said.

"Xiang Qian, come and see your son."

Chu Xiangqian walked forward in a pretentious manner, but he knew in his heart that during the one hour he had been practicing, some changes must have taken place in the little guy's body.

It seems normal if you think about it. After all, Chu Jingrong's current physique is 5 times that of an ordinary person, although his body size and bones have not become bigger or smaller.

But the internal organs and other things have definitely been strengthened a lot.

When I placed my hand on Chu Jingrong's left chest, I could immediately feel his heartbeat being strong and powerful. As the child grows up, all five points of his physical fitness will gradually be fully developed.

This made Chu Xiangqian regretful.

The better the heart and other internal organs are, the more nutrients they can provide to the body.

Chu Xiangqian was not worried that the little guy would grow crooked, he was only worried that when he grew up, his height might be much taller than that of an ordinary person.

If I were the same height as Yao Ming, it would be suitable for me to play basketball, but it would be troublesome for me in life.

Not to mention other things, in daily interactions with people, not many people are willing to stay with a giant for a long time.

In this day and age, basketball is still just a second-rate sport even in Magnesium. Since my family is so rich, there is no need for me to play basketball.

But on second thought, when Chu Jingrong grew up, it was already the 80s.

Even though he was 30, it was already the 90s, which was the period when basketball took off and spread all over the world.

Thinking about it this way, if Chu Jingrong really wants to play basketball in the future, it doesn't seem impossible.

Chu Xiangqian even wondered whether he should buy some shares of the Los Angeles Lakers in advance?
Not only were the Lakers cheap at that time, but the 70s and 80s when Chu Jingrong grew up happened to be one of the Lakers' most glorious periods.

And in the future, when I am at the ranch, I can go to the scene to watch the game.

Chu Xiangqian smiled and shook his head, putting these thoughts aside for the time being, and then said to his master's wife, "It seems that this little thing has inherited my talent."

The master's wife shook her head and said, "No, it should be that after your skills broke through the limit, you improved your own genes and then passed them on to our precious grandson."

At this point, the master's wife showed a relieved expression, "Fortunately, you gave birth to your child a year or two later, otherwise your skills would not have broken through the unprecedented limit, and little Rongrong's bones and muscles might not be as good as they are now."

The master's wife spent two winters on the ranch. Perhaps because she had lived with the cowboy wives on the ranch for so long, she actually knew about the concept of genes.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care what his master's wife said. He smiled and agreed repeatedly, which made his master's wife smile even brighter.

Then he fastened Chu Jingrong's cotton jacket, and affectionately put his cheek on the top of the little guy's head, smiling and saying words of praise.

Chu Xiangqian could only sigh helplessly in his heart at the intimacy between his master's wife and Chu Jingrong.

The master's wife simply put her cheek against the child's forehead, which was very, very restrained.

Nowadays, many mothers and grandmothers will chew the food into pieces before feeding it to their children.

Chu Xiangqian felt his scalp tingling just thinking about it, but in this era and in the past, this kind of behavior was too common.

Also, many people of this era, even those living in cities, don’t take a bath for the entire winter.

Just think about it and you will know how unhygienic people are these days.

Coupled with nutritional deficiencies and medical shortages, most villages and towns have no doctors, or only a few. The result is that the average life expectancy is 47 years and the child mortality rate is 20% to 30%.

Even decades later, most people will see parents, grandparents kissing their babies mouth to mouth.

So when Chu Xiangqian saw that his master's wife was so restrained, he immediately knew that she had always remembered the doctor's reminder.

I felt very relieved that my master's wife was greeting Chu Jingrong.

Unfortunately, even so, Chu Jingrong still caught a cold.

As for who infected him, Chu Xiangqian could only suppress his irritation and suspicion.

If someone really wanted to harm others, Chu Xiangqian would naturally not let that person go.

But this matter has to be observed in secret.

Then I decided to let my child see less people in the future.

The grandparents and grandchildren played around for a while, and the master's wife suddenly said to Chu Xiangqian who was sitting next to them, "Xiangqian, from now on, let me lay the foundation for Xiao Rongrong, how about that?"

Chu Xiangqian shrugged. To him, the work of laying the foundation for the child was the same no matter whether it was given to the master, Yixiantian, or the master's wife.

Anyway, the foundation laid by each school and sect is almost the same in summary.

Whether the final result is good or not depends more on how hard the child learning martial arts works, and whether the master can teach and teach the child strictly.

Moreover, the child's physical fitness is already 5.1, so it should be easy for him to learn Kung Fu in the future.

Seeing Chu nod forward, the master's wife's smile became even brighter and kinder.

She held Chu Jingrong tightly in her arms, and even when Master, Yixiantian and Lao Jiang knew that the little guy had the same talent as his father, they still held him in their arms.

It was not until the little one was hungry that Sister Tao carried him into the bedroom and handed him over to his mother, Xue Jinglan.

But Chu Jingrong’s appetite now is at least several times stronger than yesterday.

Chu Jingrong, who had a lot of food stolen from his biological mother by his father Chu Xiangqian last night, actually didn't drink enough.

Not long after, the little guy, who was not full, opened his mouth and started crying.

Xue Jinglan and Tao Jie just thought that the baby had defecated.

Fortunately, he drank until he was 6% full. After some coaxing, the little guy finally calmed down, staring at Xue Jinglan with his eyes rolling.

This caused Xue Jinglan to hold the little guy with infinite love and not let go. However, she didn't know that the little guy just didn't drink enough and his brain didn't have much thinking, so he instinctively looked at his mother.

During the day, the mother-in-law came to see the children as usual, but she didn't see the old lady of the Xue family.

When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he realized that the old lady was not feeling well and was afraid that it would affect the child, so she did not follow her.

Chu Xiangqian felt relieved after hearing this. Since the cause was caused by the old lady of the Xue family, it ruled out the speculation that someone wanted to harm Xue Jingrong.

Besides, it was winter now, and the old lady had been coming here every day, and she couldn't stop him. It was normal for her to catch a cold. Chu Jingrong was just a few days old, so Chu Xiangqian naturally wouldn't send him to his mother-in-law's house.

Chu Xiangqian then began to worry about the old lady's condition.

After hearing from his mother-in-law that it was not serious and that she had taken some Chinese medicine in the morning, Chu Xiangqian stopped asking any further questions.
-
Since Chu Jingrong's physical condition reached 5.1, Chu Xiangqian has not had a sip of milk from his wife.

All of them were occupied by the little Chu Jingrong. Even Xue Jinglan, the biological mother with a huge breast, could not feed Chu Jingrong anymore.

This forced the master's wife and Tan Youli, the grandmother, to find a wet nurse for Chu Jingrong.

Being able to come to the Chu family to help is definitely a good thing for the newly hired wet nurse. She can have lunch at the Chu family and eat not only rice but also steamed buns.

Crucian carp soup, mutton soup, pork rib soup and the like were also served in different ways every meal, with a big bowl of soup given to the wet nurse.

Then, she would stay at the Chu family for two hours before and two hours after meals, feed Chu Jingrong twice, and then she could go home to breastfeed her own child.

Once, Zhaodi secretly reported that the wet nurse only ate half a bowl of fish soup or meat soup, and only ate two steamed buns.

I took the remaining half bowl of soup and the two steamed buns I saved home.

After listening to this, Chu Xiangqian told Zhaodi not to worry about it.

Then he thought about it and gave another order. From now on, the bowl of meat soup should be replaced with a large bowl for eating noodles with soybean paste, and the steamed buns should be made according to the quantity of 1 steamed buns for 5 jin of flour.

Zhaodi smiled and nodded. The family had always used 1 pound of flour to make 8 dumplings, which was a disguised way of giving the wet nurse a lot more food.

Not to mention that the broth is served in a large bowl for eating noodles with soybean paste, which doubles the weight.

As for giving money to the wet nurse, Chu Xiangqian had never thought about it.

If you exchange one meal for two meals of milk and more oil and water, people will only be grateful.

But if it is converted into money, it is hard to say what people think.
-
Three days later, Vladimir and Elena finally received 100 boxes of Beluga Vodka airlifted from Polar Bear.

Moreover, the two of them originally thought that they would only send a few boxes of mead and sweet wine as samples for Chu Xiangqian to taste.

Unexpectedly, the forces behind the two of them directly filled the transport plane in order to avoid another air transport.

And the Beluga Vodka is not 100 boxes, but 1000 boxes.

There are three types of wine: honey wine, sweet white wine and sweet red wine, also 1000 boxes.

要不是楚向前订购的是6瓶一箱的酒，换成12瓶一箱的话，一架载重64吨的安-10运输机还装不了这52吨的货。

Seeing 4 boxes of wine being dragged off the plane in piles, Vladimir and Elena were overwhelmed. If they couldn't sell them, they would be held responsible.

But it was clear from the higher-ups that they were forcing us to sell more wine and earn more foreign exchange.

At the same time, it was also a test of Chu Xiangqian's attitude towards polar bears.

So these 4 boxes of wine were transported to the warehouse at the airport. Vladimir and Elena immediately drove to find Chu Xiangqian with four boxes of four types of wine.

When they saw Chu Xiangqian, the two Russians were extremely enthusiastic.

After trying the four kinds of liquor, it goes without saying that Beluga Vodka was the best choice. I had tasted it before, and this time as long as I was sure that the taste was consistent, these one thousand boxes of vodka would soon be shipped to Hong Kong Island.

Otherwise, Chu Xiangqian would have no way to explain how so much wine disappeared.

When I drank the mead again, I immediately smelled the rich aroma of nectar, accompanied by a slight fruity aroma.

It smells really nice.

When taking a sip, the mouth was filled with the sweetness of honey and soft sourness. The alcohol content should be 12%. Chu Xiangqian thought it was okay, but he knew in his heart that this wine might be more popular with the elves and dwarves than sweet white and sweet red wines.

The only thing that cannot be compared is probably the raw materials, which cannot compare to the honey and grapes in Middle-earth.

But in terms of output, they crush the elves and dwarves.

Chu Xiangqian was very satisfied with the wine, and even more satisfied that a bottle of 750 ml of mead cost only US$1.2.

These 6 boxes of 7200 bottles only cost US$. Compared with the sweet wine in China, this wine with the same sweetness is indeed not expensive.

Moreover, China basically did not produce sweet wine at that time. Even Changyu, which was founded in 1892, did not have honey wine.

Since Changyu was mentioned, Chu Xiangqian naturally became a little harsh on Polar Bear's sweet white and sweet red wines.

After taking a few sips, he thought it wouldn't taste good. After all, he had never drunk polar bear red wine in his previous life or this life.

But I didn't expect that both the sweet red and sweet white wines tasted better than the wines from Margaret's own farm winery.

He drank a few more sips in surprise, and then asked in confusion, "Why do I feel that the taste, color and aroma are better than the wines from some wineries in England?"

Vladimir and Elena were immediately happy, and they also knew that Chu Xiangqian had a big misunderstanding about Red Polar Bear's wine industry, just like Europeans and Americans.

Elena spoke first, "Chu, do you think that our country's winters are long and cold enough to be unsuitable for growing grapes for winemaking?"

After listening to this, Chu Xiangqian knew there was a misunderstanding, but he still nodded.

Elena continued with a smile, "In fact, most of the wine-producing areas in Soviet Union are along the Black Sea coast and several southern states. The wine grapes grown in Georgia, Ukraine and other places can be traced back to the ancient Roman period.

In the past two or three decades, the top management of Su Lian has consciously improved grape varieties and made large-scale investments, and also introduced the world's most advanced winemaking equipment and technology.

It can be said that our wines, although less well-known than those in Europe and America, are no worse in taste and color, and are more cost-effective.”

In the past, Chu Xiangqian would have thought that Elena was bragging, but the sweet red and sweet white wine he had just drunk were indeed good.

Of course, the wines shipped this time are all high-end products of the same type.

It’s a pity that the best ones are only available on the upper level of Polar Bear, otherwise Chu Xiangqian really wouldn’t mind buying a few hundred boxes to collect, or drinking slowly by himself or when he has guests.

Since it is a high-end product, the price is naturally not low. It seems that relatively speaking, its low fame means that the price will be one or two levels cheaper than the same level of wine in Europe and the United States.

After some bargaining, the sweet red was $5, and the sweet white was surprisingly $8 a bottle.

Chu Xiangqian knew that since he was willing to pay $4.5 to acquire Beluga Vodka, the Russians would not sell him Sweet White or Sweet Red for less than $5.

After all, they also want to make more money.

Of course, if Chu Xiangqian was not satisfied with the price, Frankimir and Elena would recommend two other wines to him.

Fortunately, Polar Bear knew not to fool a new customer like him with inferior goods, so he chose these two relatively high-end wines and airlifted them over.

So the price is naturally not low.

As for why Vladimir and his partner insisted on paying $8 for the sweet white wine, the reason is very simple. This wine is a noble rot wine, that is, a sweet white wine made from grapes infected with noble rot.
