Chapter 69: Burying the Wine - Back to 18, I became rich by spending money
"System, where did you bury the thing? How deep is it?" Wen Yan asked the system in her heart. She wanted to determine the specific location. If it was too deep, it would be a bit difficult to operate.
"It's not deep. It's located under a purple wildflower to the right of the tree. Dig about 30 centimeters down and you'll find it."
Wen Yan gestured secretly. It was okay, not too deep. But how to dig was a bit worrying. Who would dig for no reason? The purpose was too clear.
Wen Yan went into the old house and looked around to see if there was any excuse he could use. After searching around, he found a hoe, but it was useless. What could he say?
At this moment, grandma walked into the yard and said to Wen Yan, "Old man, go to the village entrance and get some wine. Today is a festival, let's have a couple of drinks together."
After hearing this, Wen Yan quickly said, "I want to go too!!!"
Wen Yi also quickly shouted, "And me."
"Okay, okay, go ahead, let your grandfather take you there." Grandma said lovingly.
"Grandpa, hurry up, let's go buy some wine!" Wen Yi hurriedly urged. He didn't want to stay in the house any longer and listen to his grandfather nagging him. It was too suffocating.
Grandpa glared at him and said, "You little bastard."
When he was about to get up and go to the house to get the money, Wen Yan saw it and quickly said, "Grandpa, I have it. Your granddaughter is a little rich woman. I'll treat you to a drink!"
"Okay, grandpa can drink the wine bought by my granddaughter today, hahaha." Grandpa was so happy to hear that. He didn't expect that he would be able to enjoy the blessing of his granddaughter so soon.
The grandfather, grandson and his two children walked slowly towards the village entrance. There was a small shop and a vegetable market at the entrance to meet the daily needs of the villagers.
When we got to the place where the wine was sold, we found it was a large storefront with many wine jars inside.
"Old Wen is here. Want some wine?" Grandpa Sun, who was selling wine, greeted Grandpa Wen when he saw him stand up.
"Give me two kilograms of wine. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. My wife asked me to get some wine so that the family can have a couple of drinks while we have dinner." Grandpa Wen said happily, then turned around and said to Wen Yan and his sister, "The wine your grandpa Sun has here is all homemade sorghum wine. It has this purity and is much better than those fake wines on the market!" He raised a thumbs up as he spoke.
"Hahaha, your grandfather has been drinking our wine for decades. Our craftsmanship is passed down from our ancestors. Old Man Wen, this is your number one granddaughter, right?" Old Man Sun said to Wen Yan and her brother after pouring the wine. He looked at Wen Yan and felt that she must be the granddaughter that Old Man Wen always showed off in the village. Everyone in the village was almost wearing calluses on their ears from Old Wen's bragging.
"Yes, yes, that silly boy next to my granddaughter is my grandson. Yanyan can call me Grandpa Sun." Grandpa Wen called the brother and sister to call people.
"Hello, Grandpa Sun." The brother and sister acted as mascots and followed their grandfather around, doing whatever he said.
"Oh, okay, okay." When people get older, they like well-behaved young girls and boys. It makes them happy just looking at them.
Wen Yan looked at the jars in the room and felt like his chance had come. "Grandpa Sun, what's in those little jars?" he asked casually.
"Oh, you mean those? Those are the sorghum wines I brewed specially. They are 53% alcohol. The jars are sealed. The villagers buy them and bury them in their yards. Those who give birth to daughters can take them home as daughter wine, and those who give birth to sons can take them home as champion wine." Grandpa Sun saw that she was interested and explained to her.
Wen Yan rolled his eyes and said, "Grandpa Sun, we are all grown up now, can we still buy it?"
When Wen Yan was born, the custom of burying wine had not yet spread here. It was only in the past two years that information technology developed, so the Sun family's business expanded to other places.
"Of course, you can buy it and use it to entertain your son-in-law when he comes to visit, or use it when your son gets married. It's all fine." Grandpa Sun certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity. Friendship is friendship, and business is business. Seeing that Wen Yan was interested, he quickly tried to sell her the product.
Wen Yan looked at his grandfather, his eyes sparkling and blinking.
"Grandpa, this is so interesting. Let's buy two jars and bury them under a big tree. Then we can dig them out when I get married, okay?" Wen Yan quickly pulled her grandfather and acted coquettishly. Burying the wine was a small matter, but digging the soil was a big deal.
"Okay, okay, buy, buy, buy. Stop shaking, or your old bones will be shaken apart." Although Grandpa Wen enjoyed his granddaughter's coquettishness, she couldn't stand it if it happened a few more times.
"Yeah! Brother, hurry up and pick a jar to take back. Grandpa Sun, how much is it in total? I'll pay you." Wen Yan quickly asked Wen Yi to go and see, then took out his mobile phone to prepare to pay.
"I usually sell a jar of wine for 399 yuan to others, but we are old friends, so I will charge you 300 yuan for a jar of wine. This is a fair price. Including the wine your grandfather just bought, the total is 620 yuan." Old Sun saw that Old Wen was staring at him. Haha, this old guy, after so many years of friendship, would he still cheat him? Girls are more likable.
"Okay, Grandpa, do you have WeChat? I'll scan it for you." Wen Yan asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes. This was done for me by my eldest son. Here, just scan this." Grandpa Sun took out a QR code and handed it to Wen Yan. His eldest son also sells wine in the city. His children are grown up and don't want to stay in their hometown, but it's enough to pass on the family business.
Grandpa Wen watched his granddaughter pay the bill with a smile. When he came back, her mother told them that his granddaughter had grown up and would be able to earn money, which was great, and they could all enjoy the blessing of having a granddaughter.
Wen Yan and Wen Yi went in and each chose a jar of wine. The jar was not heavy, a standard 5-jin wine jar.
Wen Yi was also very interested in this kind of thing, and it was fun to listen to.
"Grandpa, come back soon. Let's go back and bury the wine." Wen Yi urged his grandfather to go back and bury the wine. It would be so interesting.
Grandpa Wen looked at his grandson unhappily, saying he looked so useless and asked why he was so anxious.
"Let's go, Old Sun. Come to my house later and we'll play a couple of games." Grandpa Wen greeted Old Sun and took the siblings back home.
As soon as she entered the house, the grandmother saw the grandfather and grandson, each holding a jar. Although the sizes were different, she still glared at the old man and said, "I asked you to buy some wine, but you brought back three jars. What's wrong with the wine in the hands of the sister and brother?"
"Grandma, don't blame grandpa. I asked him to buy this. Grandpa Sun said to bury it in the yard so I can drink it when I get married. The same goes for Wen Yi's." Wen Yan put down the wine and quickly explained to his grandmother.
Grandpa Wen didn't dare to say a word, and just looked at his wife with innocent eyes.
When grandma heard this, she thought, "Okay, go ahead and bury the bar. Let your dad and Wen Yi do it. They're strong, and you just watch from the side."
"Uh-huh"
