Similarly, the output of strong-aroma liquor has also been rising steadily. The 300 wine cellars in the new factory of Changxia Liquor Industry have officially been put into production, and the fourth 100 wine cellars are currently being maintained. Together with the 110 wine cellars at the old distillery, the output of strong-aroma liquor has reached 200 tons per month.
After returning from Shanxi Province, Wen Qing led a team to the Gutan Winery in Anhui Province. She learned some of the brewing techniques of Changxia Winery from Gutan Factory. Wang Jianguo also studied and improved on this basis to form the current technology of Changxia Special Brewing.
The method used to persuade Gutan Winery was the same as that used for Jinfen Liquor. Wang Jianguo blended the strong-aroma base liquor they brought with him. Compared with Gutan Liquor, even experienced workers found it difficult to tell the difference.
Wen Qing also asked Wang Jianguo to blend the Changxia special brew base wine with the Gutan old wine. The blended wine tasted better than the one they blended themselves.
The director of Gutan Winery opened his eyes wide and said, "Director Wen, this is not a good idea. Aren't you stealing our jobs?"
Wen Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Brother, we blend it this way just to let you know that our Changxia wine can be blended this way. Usually our Changxia special brew has our own flavor." Changxia Winery doesn't have any old wine from Gutan either.
Together with Changxia Special Brew, three kinds of wine were placed in front of everyone. After drinking them, everyone felt that Changxia Special Brew and their Gutan Wine had their own merits. "Your Changxia Special Brew has a full body and harmonious aroma. It is worthy of being a silver medal-winning product."
Wen Qing said, "Our Changxia Special Brew is selling well at the moment, but your Gutan wine has a much smaller output than other famous wines, so the economies of scale have not yet been realized."
The competition among strong-aroma liquor factories to expand their scale and expand their market is becoming increasingly prominent. Gutan Liquor is also afraid that it will be squeezed out of the first echelon by other manufacturers due to limited production capacity, so the need to become bigger and stronger is very urgent.
Changxia Liquor Industry now has excess production capacity of strong-flavor liquor. Finally, Gutan Liquor rented their 200 wine cellars to produce Gutan Liquor according to their own technology. In fact, the profits are divided according to the output of liquor produced. Changxia Liquor Industry can now expand its production capacity with confidence.
Wen Qing had settled things in Pingjing. New Year's Day had already passed and the renovation of Wenxing Road was going smoothly. All the houses in Dongcheng Lijing had been renovated. Before the Spring Festival, outsiders in Pingjing were busy returning to their hometowns, so not many people rented houses.
Wen Qing was planning to take Xiao Liu to Songjiang, but she thought that it would be inconvenient for her to do many things if she brought someone with her, so she went first and asked Xiao Liu to finish the decoration of Dongcheng Lijing and then go to Songjiang to meet her.
Wen Qing did not drive to Songjiang, but took the train to Songjiang. When she arrived in Songjiang, she took out her jeep. She first went to the house at No. 110 Heqing Road, an old house in the concession in the 40s, which was well preserved. It faced the river to the south and had large windows. The furniture in the house was very shabby and not valuable. However, the two landscape paintings hanging on the wall were not prints. Wen Qing walked in and saw that the brushstrokes were delicate and the ink was rich. One was a picture of pines and cypresses on the mountains, and the other was a picture of the sunset over the long river. She saw that the seal on it was from a great modern painter. If it was authentic, it would be worth some money.
I didn't check them carefully the last time I came, and left these two paintings here exposed to the sun and rain. I felt sorry for them, so Wen Qing took them down carefully, brushed off the dust, and put them away.
She went to the street to find three cleaners, gave each of them 3 yuan and asked them to move the furniture in the house. After the three confirmed that she didn't want it anymore, they discussed dividing up the old furniture. Although it was old furniture, it could still be used after some repairs. They also cleaned all the corners of the roof and walls of the house. Although it still looked old, it seemed much more spacious.
After inspection, Wen Qing found that the wooden floor was loose, the walls were yellow and black, and it was estimated that the wires in the wall also needed to be replaced. Two of the window glass were colored, and the others were all white glass. The water pipes in the bathroom were rusty, and the sink and squat toilet were very dirty. The kitchen walls were not tiled, and were stained with smoke and oil. These all needed to be replaced, and Wen Qing wrote them down one by one.
At night, she would enter this room and rest.
The next day, she went to the small villa at No. 73 Wuling Road. This small villa has a separate courtyard and is connected to other people's houses on the north and west sides. The building area is 254 square meters according to the real estate certificate. There are three floors above ground, and the area of each floor is only more than 80 square meters. There is a basement underground, which is not recorded on the real estate certificate. It is about 50 square meters, like a cellar. The yard is about 80 square meters. There is a small house at the gate of the yard, about ten square meters, which may be where the gatekeeper lives.
Wen Qing walked up and down several times. The house was built at the beginning of this century and has a history of 7 or 80 years. The whole house is a French-style building with granite exterior walls. The roof is sloping with undulating lines. There are narrow and tall windows on it with decorative patterns on the windowsills. There are carved arched columns on both sides of the foyer. The house is symmetrical on the left and right. After experiencing ups and downs, the whole building shows an exquisite decay.
Entering the room is a small foyer, facing the large living room. On the left is a 30-square-meter dining room, and on the right is a 270-degree light-transmitting sitting room of about 20 square meters. The kitchen and bathroom are on the left, connected to the dining room. In the middle of the second floor is a hallway with a balcony, and on both sides are two suites, each with two rooms, one large and one small, and a bathroom. On the third floor are the huge bedroom, study, cloakroom and bathroom, and each room has a small balcony.
The basement should be a storage room. Wen Qing went in with a flashlight. The space was only about 2 meters high. Wen Qing looked at the ground carefully. It was paved with bluestone slabs very carefully and very flatly. Wen Qing squatted down and knocked on each piece. There was no hollow sound. She knocked on the walls again, and they were also normal. A house that has experienced war should have some unusual things.
Wen Qing went to several floors above and finally found a movable wooden board at the bottom of the closet in the cloakroom on the third floor. She pried up the board with a dagger, revealing a staircase leading downwards to the wall between the two bedrooms on the second floor. The key point was that this wall was not very regular, it was a very sharp triangle, and it became very narrow at the window, so there was no sign of anything unusual in the room from the outside.
Wen Qing went down the stairs. The space below was 3 meters long, 1.5 meters at the widest point, and only 30 centimeters at the narrowest point. It was estimated that no one had been in there for decades. The dust on the ground was more than an inch thick, and there were footprints wherever you stepped. This room with two walls was empty, but it could be used as a storage room in the future.
Wen Qing entered the space to have lunch, rested for a while, and continued to search the basement. There was nothing unusual under the floor, so she began to look for the roof ceiling, touching the ceiling bit by bit, and finally discovered that the ceiling was a very rough wooden board, which was very inconsistent with the exquisite decoration style of the small villa.
