Chapter 149 Your wife is so young!
The prison was already in the suburbs, so Han Jianwu stepped on the accelerator and drove the car to a farther suburb. By the time Huo Qingqing reacted, the car had already reached a sparsely populated winding mountain road.
Huo Qingqing grabbed the security guard and asked, "Where are you going?"
Han Jianwu, "Let's go to the top of the mountain to get some fresh air."
Han Jianwu seems to have never been able to relax properly after coming to Kyoto for so many years. The scenery in the suburbs is so beautiful but he does not have the time and energy to appreciate it. The only few times he came here were to accompany business partners. Huo Qingqing had never been to the suburbs, let alone climbed a mountain. She had never even climbed the legendary ancient city wall. The two of us were always tied up by one thing or another and couldn't take the children out together. Huo Qingqing never dared to take the two of us on a long trip by herself, always feeling it was unsafe.
Han Jianwu drove the car to the top of the mountain with ease. Looking ahead, he saw peaks and ridges in the distance, and looking back, he saw a densely packed city.
There are villages and fertile fields along the way to the top of the mountain. Some people are working in the fields. Farmers close to the roadside scenic spots have set up simple restaurants at home, serving vegetables grown by themselves and chickens, ducks, pork and other food raised by themselves.
Han Jianwu parked the car in front of a house, and someone came out to greet him, "Boss, are you here? What would you like to eat today?"
Han Jianwu said, "Fellow villager, please park the car in your yard first. Kill a local chicken for us and stew some mushrooms. We will come back to eat after we finish our tour of the mountain."
The boss and his wife, who seemed to be in their fifties or sixties, were grinning from ear to ear and said we could park anywhere as long as we weren't in the road.
"Are you going to pick out your own chickens?"
Han Jianwu, "No need, just watch and kill, I trust you."
The lady boss couldn't take her eyes off Huo Qingqing and asked Han Jianwu, "Boss, who is this girl?"
"My wife." Han Jianwu said.
The boss lady said in surprise, "Your wife is really pretty, as young as a school girl, much younger than you, right?"
Huo Qingqing smiled and said nothing. Han Jianwu, "You are only four or five years younger! Do I look old?"
The proprietress waved her hands quickly, "No, no, you look young and handsome, but your wife is too young and pretty, isn't she? Do you have children?"
Huo Qingqing: "..." Are all women in the world so gossipy? No, how does Han Jianwu know these two people?
Han Jianwu, "Yes, twins, a boy and a girl, both eleven years old."
The conversation was interrupted when the boss asked his wife to help kill the chicken.
The two of them were playing all over the mountain. Huo Qingqing asked, "Why do you seem to be very familiar with those two people?"
Han Jianwu, "I've been here a few times. When I was traveling around with some out-of-town partners, I saw this place and ate there twice. It was pretty good."
Huo Qingqing said, "People here probably won't farm in a few years. If urban and rural development is fast and land is requisitioned, they will all be very rich. Then they can open farmhouse restaurants and bed and breakfasts, and become the first group of wealthy people in the suburbs of Beijing."
Han Jianwu didn't take Huo Qingqing's words too seriously, and only said, "This is also an advantage of geographical conditions. No matter how much our Hanjiagou area develops, it is difficult for farmers to make money other than farming."
It is true. Hanjiagou is a authentic northwestern loess plateau and mountain ravines. A few decades later, the country roads were paved with cement, cars could drive into the village, and every household built a brick house. People with ability and quick change of mindset went out to work and earn some money, and their children who were promising went to university and caught up with the dividends of the times and settled down in the city. If other ideas and concepts remain unchanged, children who are not good at studying will mostly rely on working for a living in the future, and at most they can run a small business. Entrepreneurs like Han Jianwu are rare in a century, and not just anyone can do it.
The two of them picked a lot of wild flowers and returned to the farmyard.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they smelled the fragrance. The boss had already set up the tent, arranged the dining table and stools, and prepared soda for them.
"Would you like a drink today, Boss?"
Han Jianwu, "I don't dare drink today. I have to drive."
Boss, "Would you like some wine, Madam? Homemade fruit wine, not too strong."
Huo Qingqing looked at Han Jianwu, "Have you drunk it?"
Han Jianwu nodded, "I've tried it, it's not bad, do you want to try it?"
Huo Qingqing said, "Let's try it!" After tasting it, she took a lot of mulberries away when she left. The backyard of the farmhouse is a private plot with several walnut trees and mulberry trees. The boss and his wife make fruit wine with mulberries, which is actually water soaked with mulberries with sugar added. Sometimes saccharin is added for taste.
After going down the mountain, Han Jianwu asked Huo Qingqing, "Why did you buy so many mulberries? They go bad very easily."
Huo Qingqing, "I'll take it back to make wine!"
Han Jianwu raised his eyebrows, "Can you make wine?"
Huo Qingqing, "Do you think that's difficult? Let me tell you, their fruit wine is actually very simple."
Han Jianwu, "How is it simple?"
Huo Qingqing, "What they call fruit wine is just water made by soaking mulberries in cold boiled water and white sugar. Are you stupid? This folk recipe for making wine can be made with any fruit, such as grapes, and the resulting wine is the high-end red wine you sell."
Han Jianwu, "How can it be that simple? If wine is that simple, why do the owners of the several brands we represent build such large wine estates? Why do they need so many processes and equipment?"
Huo Qingqing, "I'm talking about the craftsmanship of the fruit wine that we drink from farmers! This kind of wine has definitely not been industrially refined or processed. It must be brewed and drunk right after it's brewed, otherwise it will go bad.
How did such a stupid person become a boss? ”
Han Jianwu held the steering wheel with one hand and reached out to pull Huo Qingqing over. He grabbed her head and kissed her hard on her blabbering mouth. Huo Qingqing screamed in fear, "You lunatic, why are you not driving properly?"
Han Jianwu already had his hands on the steering wheel, looking at the road ahead, and said, "Kiss my schoolgirl-like wife."
Huo Qingqing, "..."
Both of their pagers rang at the same time. They were in a place that was neither close to the village nor the store, so they had no way of returning the call and could only drive forward.
Han Jianwu said, "I heard that people in other countries now have mobile phones, but we don't know when they will have them?" It is really inconvenient for big bosses like them to go out without a phone.
Huo Qingqing said, "I heard it will be available next year, and some people in Shanghai and Shenzhen are already trying it out."
Han Jianwu, "You are more informed than I am?"
Huo Qingqing, "That's right, don't underestimate the doctor!"
Finally passing a town, Han Jianwu parked the car in front of a store and answered a phone call. It was his assistant Zhang Zhe.
After the call, Huo Qingqing asked, "What happened?"
Han Jianwu looked unhappy and said, "Let's go back first and talk about it later. He didn't explain it clearly, but just said that he had something important to ask me to decide."
Huo Qingqing understood that he was not telling the truth, so she said, "Then let's go back to the city first!"
