After the divorce, he took care of his child and sold fried rice; his ex-wife was filled with regret

That is, before going out on a cold morning, take a sip of high-proof Daqu liquor. Its strong flavor can burn like fire in your stomach, making it the most effective way to ward off the cold.

"Hey! Boss Lin, serving drinks so early in the morning?" Li Dayong understood the situation and, far from finding it expensive, became quite interested.

He called out loudly, "Miss Su, give me a bowl of beef brisket noodles and a pot of this craft beer!"

Mr. Chen, sitting opposite him, glanced at the pricing on the blackboard and looked thoughtful.

"Drinking strong liquor so early in the morning?" Chairman Chen stroked his chin.

As a real estate tycoon, he has a lot of social engagements.

What kind of Shaoxing wine, Lafite, and Moutai haven't you drunk at the dinner table?

But in his opinion, the so-called high-end liquors on the market are a very complicated business.

Many exorbitantly priced wines are often consumed for their packaging, brand, and social appeal. If you really want to talk about the wine itself, you'll still get a headache and acid reflux the next day.

Thinking of this, Chairman Chen shook his head and gave up the idea of ​​trying it out.

It's best to skip it early in the morning, lest my stomach can't handle it.

Chairman Chen turned to Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, I only want a bowl of beef brisket noodles."

The other regular customers queuing in the hall also started to have doubts when they saw the price of 1,288 on the blackboard.

It was early morning, and the wine was quite expensive, so although everyone was curious, no one was in a hurry to order. They all wanted to see how Li Dayong would react after drinking it.

Lin Fan washed his hands in the kitchen and tied on a white apron.

Light the stove.

He set up a deep stainless steel tub next to him, filled it with water, and heated it to a near-boiling point.

Take a white porcelain wine pot from the constant temperature rack and put it into hot water to warm it.

Only by warming genuine aged pure grain liquor in a water bath can the accumulated fermented ester aroma be fully extracted.

Within minutes, the rich aroma of pure grains and the mellow fragrance of aged liquor wafted out with the steam, filling the entire hall with an intoxicating fermentation aroma, and even the air seemed to warm up a bit.

"Serve the food." Lin Fan pressed the bell.

Su Xiaoxiao carried a tray and delivered two steaming bowls of beef brisket noodles and two warm white porcelain wine pots to Li Dayong's table. There were also two small white porcelain wine cups to go with them.

Please enjoy your meal.

Li Dayong looked at the plain white porcelain wine pot in front of him, without any fancy packaging.

The kettle body, warmed by hot water, exudes a smooth, warm texture.

Although the cork stopper on the spout was very tight, the rich aroma of grains still couldn't help but waft out.

Li Dayong leaned closer to smell it, his eyes lighting up: "This smells just right. It doesn't have that pungent, alcohol-laden smell; just smelling it makes me feel reassured."

He swallowed hard, his hand resting on the warm wine jug, but he hesitated to pull out the cork.

Chairman Chen picked at the noodles with his chopsticks, watching his greedy expression as he only smelled them but didn't drink them, and found it somewhat amusing:

"What's wrong? You usually hold your glass up at the table all the time, but today the wine's been served, why aren't you opening it and having a taste?"

Li Dayong sighed and reluctantly withdrew his hand from the wine pot.

"I really crave it, but I can't drink this right now," Li Dayong explained casually, rubbing his hands together.

"After we finish eating, we still need to go to the new mining area on the outskirts of the city to check on the progress. It would be better if this bite went wrong."

"Then why did you order it?" Chairman Chen shook his head.

"Take the top spot first!" Li Dayong quickly moved the white porcelain wine pot to his side and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"The best items in Boss Lin's shop are always limited. I'll buy this teapot to reserve a spot!"

Chairman Chen smiled, said nothing more, and lowered his head to eat his noodles.

The other diners in the hall listened intently for a long time, but seeing that Li Dayong hadn't opened the bottle on the spot and hadn't seen the quality of the wine, they all suppressed their curiosity and obediently ate their noodles and rice bowls.

A dozen minutes later, the two finished their noodles.

Chairman Chen wiped his mouth with a napkin, stood up, and glanced at the wine jug that Li Dayong was tightly protecting.

Yes, what items in Boss Lin's shop are anything but ordinary?

Thinking of this, coupled with the rich aroma of aged fermented wine that had filled the room earlier, Chairman Chen's mind stirred slightly.

The final decision was to reserve a spot first.

Chairman Chen walked to the cashier, took out his phone, and scanned the code.

"Boss Lin," Chairman Chen said to Lin Fan in the open kitchen, "while you're at it, pack a bottle of this wine for me too, I'll take it home and try it tonight."

"it is good."

Lin Fan responded, dried his hands, took a room-temperature white porcelain wine pot from the temperature-controlled shelf, put it in a clean paper bag, and handed it out.

"Payment received: 1,476 yuan."

An electronic notification sounded.

Chairman Chen, carrying a paper bag, and Li Dayong, who was holding a warm wine pot, pushed open the door and went out together.

This morning, only two jugs of this pure grain liquor, priced at 1,288 yuan, were sold, and both were taken away in packs; no one drank it on the spot in the store.

Lin Fan stood in the open kitchen, holding a slotted spoon and steadily scooping out noodles.

His expression remained calm and unmoved by the wait-and-see attitude of the noodle shoppers.

Good wine needs no bush, and genuine products never lack buyers; he doesn't need this short-term revenue.

……

Shengshi Real Estate, Headquarters Building

That day, Chairman Chen was so busy he barely had time to breathe.

By the end of the year, the real estate industry was generally facing a tight cash flow.

Several construction projects are waiting for payment, and the bank's loan approval process is very strict. Just looking at various financial statements and approval documents every day makes him feel dizzy.

It's 6:30 p.m.

The sky over Jiangcheng was completely dark, and the streetlights came on.

The outside temperature dropped a few degrees, and the wind whistled against the glass curtain wall of the office building.

Chairman Chen leaned back in his boss's chair, rubbed his aching temples, and picked up the coat draped beside him and put it on.

"Xiao Wu, prepare the car, let's go home," Chairman Chen said to his assistant who came in.

"Yes, Mr. Chen." Assistant Wu nodded and turned to inform the driver.

Chairman Chen walked into the elevator carrying his briefcase.

All he wanted to do was get home quickly, have the housekeeper cook two light vegetarian dishes, warm up the bottle of old wine he bought from Lin Fan's shop that morning, and enjoy a couple of comfortable sips to get rid of the fatigue and chill that had accumulated throughout the day.

Just as he got into the car, before it even left the underground parking garage, Mr. Chen's personal cell phone, which was in his pocket, suddenly rang.

He took it out and saw that the screen displayed "Provincial Branch Manager Wang".

Mr. Chen's drowsiness vanished instantly. He sat up straight, pressed the answer button, and a warm smile unconsciously spread across his face.

"Good evening, President Wang."
