Traveling through 70's wine

Most of the ginseng in Wen Qing's space grew from small seedlings, so most of them are only 50 years old, but there are also four or five that were dug out from the mountains and moved into the space. They have been growing for a long time. Last time, I sold an 80-year-old one. This kind of old ginseng means one less when you buy one, so I don't want to sell it.

Wen Qing asked: "Yes, I do. You know, old ginseng is hard to come by. I want to keep it for myself."

He stopped talking after that. Master Wei understood and said, "Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."

Wen Qing said, "Okay, I'll go home and get it later, and we'll talk about it then."

She didn’t sell the medicine yet, she got on her bike and left, and Master Wei went to call the buyer.

An hour later, Wen Qing came back and Master Wei took her to the conference room, where there was already a serious-looking middle-aged man and a young man.

Seeing the two people coming in, the two people in the room also stood up. Master Wei introduced that the man's surname was Wu, and asked Wen Qing to call him "Wu Si". Wen Qing took out a long wooden box from her bag and handed it to Master Wei: "What do you think of this ginseng?"

Master Wei took it, opened the box and examined it carefully, then handed it to Wu Si, "Wu Si, this ginseng is 150 years old and in very good condition."

Wu Si took it. This ginseng was about 8 or 9 inches long, slightly yellow in color, with a thick body and many reed rings on it. The ginseng roots were also neat and the large side roots were as thick as pencils.

He looked at Master Wei, who understood what he meant and explained, "Generally, a 3-year-old ginseng is worth 4 to 5 yuan, but this one is so well grown that its side roots are as good as a smaller ginseng. It's worth at least yuan."

Wu Si asked the young man to take out the money from his bag and said, "Here is 6 yuan. Thank you, Xiao Wen, and thank you, Master Wei, for helping us a lot."

The buyer was willing to pay a high price, so she had no reason to refuse. Wen Qing nodded to Lao Wei, and Lao Wei took the money and handed it to Wen Qing.

Wu Si carefully put the ginseng into his bag and left with the young man.

Wen Qing put the money into her backpack and took out a bunch of herbs from it. Master Wei checked the goods and found that they were of good quality, so he bought them at the same price as last time and sold them for a total of 3400 yuan.

Before the bank closed, Wen Qing deposited the cash in his hand, together with the 9 yuan he took out from the space, a total of 15 yuan into his bank account.

Three days later, Wen Qing and Zhu Hongying took leave and went to the Housing Management Office together to handle the transfer of ownership.

When they arrived, the owner of Jinxiu Garden had already arrived. After Zhu Hongying paid the money, the two signed the sales contract and asked Section Chief Li to apply for a new housing management certificate.

After getting the housing management certificate, seeing that the owner of the courtyard house on Wenxing Road had been waiting for a long time, she was anxious to inform her husband and had to pick up the children at noon, so Wen Qing asked her to leave first.

Wen Qing waited for a while before the owner of the courtyard house on Wenxing Road arrived. He was a well-mannered middle-aged man. When he saw Section Chief Li and Wen Qing, he bowed slightly to greet them and said, "I didn't expect that the buyer was a young girl."

Wen Qing said politely, "I mainly like the layout of this house." After they signed the sales contract, Wen Qing handed him the money.

The owner said: "I want to go to Hong Kong as soon as possible. There are jobs waiting for me there. If I don't live in or repair the house here, it will collapse soon. It's better to sell it to someone who needs it."

Wen Qing nodded, "You are so open-minded."

Wen Qing took the new property management certificate, on which the owner was written Wen Qing. She couldn't help but smile and put it into the space.

Since she had already taken leave, she did not rush back to school and rode her bike to the courtyard house on Wenxing Road.

After entering the courtyard, opposite is a screen wall with the words "Flowers Blooming and Wealth and Prosperity" on it. Turning around the screen wall is the front yard. There are five rooms in the main house, two rooms in the east and west wing rooms, and a winding corridor connecting the main house. Passing through the moon gate on the west side of the main house is the backyard. There is a bungalow in the backyard, which is probably for servants to live in, with only three rooms.

The courtyard in the front yard is roughly 100 square meters with a well and some trees planted in it. The courtyard in the backyard is estimated to be at least 300 square meters with a pond of more than 100 square meters. The water is very dirty with lotus roots and reeds growing in it. Wen Qing walked around the pond but did not find any inflow or outflow channels, so it was probably underground. There was also a garden in the backyard with no flowers and some messy bricks and tiles piled on it. It seemed that a house was built here before and then demolished.

Wen Qing looked at the houses in the front and back yards, and basically all of them had problems, such as peeling wall paint, rotten beams, falling doors and windows, etc. She changed the locks of the yard gate and the room doors.

There were just too many rooms and it took too many locks. Wen Qing searched the space and only found three locks. She had to go to the hardware store and buy twenty locks. She replaced the door locks of all the rooms and put the remaining locks into the space.

She had a headache as there was one more house that needed repairing.

There are more professional courses this semester, including electronic theory, automobile structure, fluid mechanics, etc. The course pressure is very high. Because of winemaking, Wen Qing also takes professional courses in the Chemical Engineering Department with Zhao Na from Room 307, and audits organic chemistry and biochemistry.

Her daily life returned to the routine between Erxia Village and school.

At school, she not only often goes to the library, but also to the chemistry laboratory. It is not enough to read books at night, so she can only bring the books into the space and read them, treating one night as a whole day.

She borrowed a lot of books from the library, and read, took notes and designed in the space.

This semester, she still had no time to participate in club activities. Even when Chen Rui asked her to participate in the school sports meeting, she asked Chen Rui to help her sign up. During class, Chen Rui said, "Wen Qing, I will help you sign up for the 3000-meter long-distance race and high jump. Do you think it's okay?" Chen Rui said to Wen Qing embarrassedly because no girls in the whole grade took the initiative to sign up for these two events.

There are more boys than girls in Pingjin University of Technology, especially in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, where there are only three or four girls in each class. The school can only organize projects for girls based on grade.

This competition was personally mobilized by the class teacher, who required the Class of 77 of the Mechanical Department to participate in all events. There were only three girls in their class, and the other two had signed up for other events, so the remaining two events were given to Wen Qing.

Wen Qing did not participate in the sports meet last semester. She has been practicing martial arts for six years. Although she cannot release her internal energy now, she can still hurt people by picking flowers and leaves. It would be unfair for her to compete with ordinary people.

Now that she has signed up, she might as well participate.

Wen Qing smiled at Chen Rui and said, "No problem."

Chen Rui said: "The sports meet is on October 10th, you have to remember it."

Wen Qing nodded and said, "But remember to remind me when the time comes."

After school, Wen Qing went to the chemistry laboratory to learn about the generation of chemical substances and the role of catalysts. Through learning, she gained a deeper understanding of the principles, processes, and microbial fermentation of winemaking.

After a month, the fermentation of the batch of light-fragrance wine made during the summer vacation was completed. On weekends, Wen Qing, Wang Jianguo and other new employees worked overtime.

They took out the mash from the earthen jar and steamed the wine. Wen Qing did not do it herself this time, but was more focused on guiding the new employees. Wang Jianguo also asked his apprentice Jin Zicong to do it.

There is strength in numbers. With two sets of wine distillation equipment started together, ten jars of wine can be distilled in one day, which is much faster than before.

The workers were working hard. Wen Qing no longer stayed here. She went to the new winery to see how the expansion project was going.

She found that all the pillars of the house were up and the walls were now being built.

She plans to build 100 mud cellars and 1000 ground vats in the new winery. In the future, Changxia Winery will be able to produce 100 million kilograms of liquor and some fruit wine every year.

Since liquor needs to be aged for more than three years before it can be sold, she will put one-third of it into the space to speed up the aging time. Otherwise, according to the current sales situation, they will soon face the dilemma of having no liquor to sell.

Wen Qing talked to Mr. Liu Erye for a few words to understand the progress of the project and the use of building materials. Everything was normal, so she left with peace of mind. Usually, Liu Quan would be watching over the place and would deal with any problems in a timely manner.
