As we all know, baijiu is a distilled liquor made from grain as the main raw material, which is blended through a series of operating processes.
In the past, liquor was blended with edible alcohol and additives, and some unscrupulous vendors even used industrial alcohol for blending.
However, since the release of the new national standard, the method of blending liquor with edible alcohol and additives has been banned. All legally sold liquor must be brewed with pure grains.
But in the wasteland world after the catastrophe, even edible alcohol and additives are almost impossible to find, and the completely destroyed ecological environment makes it difficult to grow food.
Even if there is a small-scale grain output, it is far from enough to fill the stomach, so how can it be used to make wine?
Of course, those bigwigs who control large or top forces may have a way to drink real liquor at any time in such an environment.
However, except for those top figures, it is pure wishful thinking for others to drink white wine.
So it is obvious that both liquor and tobacco are real luxury goods in this wasteland!
So when the old man mentioned white wine, Chen Yan did not give an immediate answer, but instead rubbed his chin with his hand and began to think.
When the old man found that Chen Yan did not directly refuse, but was really lost in thought, a look of hope appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but start to worry about gains and losses for a while.
Is it really possible?!
The old man subconsciously held his breath.
Chen Yan could probably deduce the value of liquor in this wasteland.
Even the Niulanshan Erguotou in his world, a 62-degree Niulanshan bottle packed in a large plastic bucket of ten kilograms, is so cheap that it only costs seventy-five yuan, but as long as it is brought to this wasteland, it will still undergo a gorgeous turn!
It is of course an easy thing for the old man to get some liquor.
But he must not agree too readily!
Many times, no matter how simple the task is for you, you must first act as if you are struggling.
Even in extremely difficult situations, you still try your best to help your friends get things done. This is a favor that is worth remembering.
But if you act too nonchalantly and make people think that you solved the problem with just a casual remark, then no matter how difficult the task is, people will not remember it.
Although Qin Yourong knew his background, it was obvious that this was a secret between him and Qin Yourong.
As long as he doesn't do anything to hurt the old man in front of him, Qin Yourong will never reveal his true identity, but will have to cover for him!
So facing the old man's extremely expectant gaze, Chen Yan thought for several minutes, and then he took a deep breath as if he had made up his mind.
He looked at the old man solemnly and said, "Grandpa Fei, Rongrong said you treat her like your own daughter, and she also respects you very much and regards you as her own grandfather. So, for me, I must be consistent with Rongrong and treat you as her own grandfather as well. In that case, I won't hide it from you, white wine... I can indeed provide it."
Chen Yan’s statement made the old man suddenly excited!
Before the catastrophe broke out, his only hobby besides programming was drinking white wine!
Especially when he is half drunk and half awake, his excited brain will often greatly stimulate his inspiration!
But after the catastrophe broke out, only in the first few years could he occasionally find some white wine to satisfy his cravings.
He hasn't had any liquor since the tenth year after the catastrophe.
I thought I might never be able to taste baijiu again in this life, but I didn't expect...
Just as the old man's face turned red with excitement, Chen Yan smiled wryly and said, "Grandpa Fei, don't be too happy yet. I haven't said 'but' yet."
The old man's expression froze immediately, his heart skipped a beat, and he said blankly, "But...but? But what?"
Chen Yan sighed and said, "But you also know that the difficulty of brewing baijiu is extremely terrifying at present. So even if I can provide baijiu, I can't give you too much at once. Therefore, the baijiu I can provide you will be extremely limited. Please don't be disappointed."
The old man was relieved when he heard Chen Yan only said that he couldn't provide too much liquor, not that he couldn't provide any at all.
He laughed at himself and said, "Liquor is a precious commodity that is even rarer than pollution-free water. As long as I can have a little bit to satisfy my cravings for decades, I will be satisfied. How can I ask for more?
Chen Yan, right? Since you're with Rongrong, I'll just call you Xiao Chen. How much liquor can you get? Two taels? Hmm... that's unlikely, but one tael is fine? If I take a sip every day, it'll last me about a month."
Chen Yan didn't keep the secret any longer.
I have already put on a big show. Next time I come, it is impossible for me to just bring a few bottles of wine.
So Chen Yan stretched out a finger and said seriously: "One or two taels, you really look down on me. I promise you, ten catties! Of course, the quality of the wine will not be very good, at least it can't be compared with the good wines before the catastrophe broke out.
I can't promise whether there will be more in the future. Although the power behind me has given me great authority to allocate supplies, this authority is not unlimited after all. I believe you can understand this."
"Ah? How much?"
The old man's voice has changed.
He was suddenly a little dazed when he heard the number "ten kilograms".
Chen Yan smiled and said, "Grandpa Fei, you heard me right, ten kilograms. The forces behind me have mobilized a lot of supplies for me at once, but ten kilograms of liquor is all the liquor in this batch, so I can't promise whether there will be more in the future. But at least I have the right to use all ten kilograms of liquor in this batch at will. If you like it, then I will give it all to you. After all, you are Rongrong's grandfather."
The old man stared at Chen Yan blankly, obviously shocked.
Qin Yourong quietly made a heart shape with her hands towards Chen Yan, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Chen Yan was as if she was drawing silk directly.
Soon, the old man came back to his senses from his shock.
He looked at Chen Yan with a complicated expression, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Xiao Chen, this wine... I really can't refuse, but I can't let you suffer! Give me your smart bracelet, and I'll implant a... real AI in you!"
