Qin Lin naturally knew the value of this Quality 1 watermelon, but he had to cultivate this watermelon seed first.
After eating a slice of watermelon, Chen Shengfei asked Qin Lin, “Boss Qin, is this quota enough for the six of us?”
Qin Lin smiled and said, “Of course. It’s almost dark. Should I arrange it for you now?”
This time, he was not stingy with the lucky draw for the Supreme Set. He had prepared it according to the weight of the entire family.
After all, there were many families who came out to travel. There were five or six people. If they won the prize, he couldn’t be stingy and only prepare enough for two people.
Naturally, this amount could also be flexible. If the other party only had two people or one person, then just about the same amount would do. There was no need to waste it.
Chen Shengfei nodded and said, “Alright, make the arrangements. This time, Old Ma and I have agreed to take turns eating.”
Ma Liewen also said, “Boss Qin, arrange three more rooms for us. Old Chen and I have already arranged the company’s matters. We plan to spend two days on vacation. Your bridal room should still be available, right?”
“Since you asked, Mr. Ma, there must be one.” Qin Lin nodded.
The bridal chamber would only be reserved for 140 rooms a day. There were still 10 rooms that were always kept in reserve just for such an occasion.
Qin Lin also picked up his phone and called Gao Yaoyao. “Yaoyao, register Room 1-3 and get Sister Hong to clean the rooms.”
Each bridal chamber had a room number. Naturally, he reserved the number 1 to 10. Furthermore, it was a specially separate area. Each chamber was also more widely separated and the courtyard had more room.
Gao Yaoyao also knew what the 10 bridal rooms were for. After receiving Qin Lin’s instructions, she immediately made arrangements.
......
As for the ID information, the boss had personally arranged for it to be filled in later.
Qin Lin did not arrange for Chen Shengfei’s set meal to be served in the dining room. He arranged it in the main hall and asked Master Lin to bring the ingredients over to the kitchen.
After all, there were too many people at the restaurant. These two rich people might be able to be recognized after this acquisition. If they squeezed into the restaurant, they would definitely attract attention.
On the other hand, there was no one in the main hall. It was empty and there was no one to disturb them. It was convenient for them to talk about anything.
When the manor villa was done, he would arrange for them to go directly to the manor villa.
After making arrangements for Chen Shengfei and the others, Qin Lin went to continue collecting the melons. Then, he asked Chen Dabei to bring a cart over and send the melons to the sales center.
Not long after Chen Shengfei and the others sat down, Master Lin started cooking. Not long after, an apprentice served the dishes to the six of them.
“It’s rare to see such a big conch in the wild,” Chen Shengfei said in surprise.
“This eel is classic.” Ma Liewen had already picked a slice of eel meat into his mouth. He picked up another slice as he spoke.
Both of them were clearly enjoying themselves. They had eaten everything, no matter how expensive, but this meal was definitely a treat even for them.
A moment.
Gao Yaoyao came over with a bottle of Qinglin Medicine Wine and placed it on the table. “Mr. Chen, this is your wine.”
Ma Liewen picked up the antique bronze wine glass and looked at it. “Boss Qin, this wine is getting more and more high-class. The craftsmanship of the wine bottle is very exquisite and high-end. It’s finally no longer a glass container bought for 20 yuan outside.”
Chen Shengfei took the wine and nodded. “It’s indeed more classy. Only this wine bottle is worthy of this wine.”
With that, he opened the wine and poured a glass for himself and the others. Then he set the bottle down and drank from the glass.
When the wine entered his mouth, he was surprised. “This wine seems to have a much better texture than all the others.”
“You can taste it too? The texture is indeed better.” As he spoke, he asked Li Qing, “Li Qing, what year is this wine?”
“More than 10 years.” Li Qing was also surprised. This wine that was more than 10 years old was indeed better than the new wine from before. After drinking a glass, he sighed and said, “Looks like Boss Qin is still hiding something good.”
Previously, he had already felt that Boss Qin’s medicinal wine had been unsealed too early. This effect coupled with the taste was a little wasteful. Today’s medicinal wine perfectly made up for the flaw in the taste and directly surpassed the wine brewed by the two ancient Chinese medicine families.
Even rich people like Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen were completely satisfied with this meal.
They acknowledged that this was the Supreme Set meal, and they were also qualified to do so.
After the meal, Gao Yaoyao led the six of them to Rooms 1-3.
…
The night passed.
On the third day of the Qinglin Villa’s Supreme Set Meal, there were only seven spots left.
After two days of fermentation, the third day’s tourist tide reached its peak.
In the chairman’s office.
Qin Lin was already sitting at the tea table making tea. Beside the tea table sat Chen Shengfei, Li Qing, and Ma Liewen.
When their wives went to the Sea of Flowers to play, the three of them came to him to make tea.
Qin Lin picked up the brewed tea and poured a cup for the three of them. “Mr. Li, Mr. Chen, Mr. Ma, there are still many scenic spots in Youcheng County that you can visit. Since it’s a vacation, you can all go and visit them.”
As he spoke, there was a knock on the door.
“Come in!” Qin Lin shouted.
Gao Yaoyao opened the door and walked in with Chen Li.
“President Qin, sorry to disturb you again.” Chen Li came in with a briefcase in his hand. He greeted Qin Lin and then looked at Chen Shengfei and the other two in surprise.
He naturally recognized Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen.
These were the two tycoons of the city.
If these two people were willing to invest in the county, Sun Xian would probably be rushing to welcome them warmly.
The county had always known that these two were regulars of Qinglin Villa, but now it seemed that they were very familiar with Boss Qin.
He did not know the other person. To be able to sit with Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen meant that his identity was not simple.
Qin Lin immediately welcomed Chen Li over. “Let me introduce you to each other. Mr. Li, Mr. Chen, Mr. Ma, this is Chief Chen from the Youcheng County Tourism Bureau.”
Chen Li immediately said to Chen Shengfei and the other two with a smile, “Youcheng County welcomes the three of you to travel.”
“Chief Chen is too polite.” Chen Shengfei could tell that this Chief Chen had an extraordinary relationship with Boss Qin, so he replied politely.
Ma Liewen and Li Qing did the same.
They didn’t care about the chief of the Tourism Bureau of a small county, but they gave Boss Qin face.
Qin Lin asked Chen Li to sit down and poured him a cup of tea before asking, “Chief Chen, why did you come all the way here?”
“Indeed. I wonder if Boss Qin is interested in taking over a winery in the county?” Chen Li came over because of the winery in the county.
In order to convince Qin Lin, he had prepared information and excuses for the entire night.
“Take over the winery?” Qin Lin was a little surprised. He had never thought about this before. After all, he knew nothing about wine.
However, he was not stupid. On careful thought, he could roughly guess what was going on. The county must have taken a fancy to the current reputation of the Qinglin Medicine Wine.
Chen Li immediately nodded and said, “There’s an old winery in the county. If Boss Qin is interested, the county can sell it to Boss Qin at the lowest price. Moreover, the winery will be tax-free for three years.”
“Chief Chen, tell me in detail.” Qin Lin didn’t directly refuse or agree.
It was sold at the lowest price and tax-free for three years. It was obvious that this winery was not well run. It was definitely a burden on the county.
Now, they probably thought that he knew how to make wine and could make a winery, so they wanted him to take over.
But the county was obviously asking the wrong person. He did not know anything about alcohol.
However, Chen Li didn’t know what Qin Lin was thinking and explained, “Boss Qin, actually, the wine brewed by this wine factory in the county has always been good. It was brewed by more than ten old masters with special skills, but it’s not famous at all and couldn’t be publicized. Moreover, there’s a wine cellar in the wine factory that has been around for decades.”
“A decades-old wine cellar?” Li Qing exclaimed.
In addition to the ingredients, the wine cellar was also very important.
A good wine cellar is also an important prerequisite for producing strong-smelling wines, especially strong-smelling white wine.
Because there were a wide variety of microbial communities that had different functions and were beneficial to brewing in the cellars and mud, only with high-quality cellars and mud could good wine be produced. Therefore, the longer the cellars were, the better.
A thousand-year-old cellar is worse than a ten thousand-year-old cellar. The wine is good because the cellar is old! This was talking about the wine pool and the wine trough in the wine cellar.
If you really wanted to know how much the winemakers’ technology was worth, you might as well ask if they had a few more valuable old wine cellars.
Nowadays, many companies use new cellars to make wine. Thick fragrant wine could not reach the standard of T10781.1.
And decades of old cellars were rare enough.
At the thought of this, Li Qing couldn’t help but say to Qin Lin, “Boss Qin, you’re also someone who knows wine. A wine cellar that has been around for decades is rare. Why don’t we go take a look together?”
When Qin Lin heard this, he really wanted to say, “Mr. Li, you’ve misunderstood. I really don’t know how to drink.”
However, he understood what Li Qing meant. A wine cellar that had been around for decades was a good thing.
Moreover, he had heard that the wine he bought in the countryside might not be inferior to those brands. Many people would rather go to the countryside to buy their own wine.
If this wine cellar was really something good, he really didn’t mind taking it over. After all, it would be more convenient for him to get the Qinglin Medicine Wine in the future, and it would also be easier to conceal it from the outside world.
He remembered that in Ranches Story, Ore Town had a wine recipe. It seemed to be grape wine. Other versions had the same recipe. If he could get it, this wine cellar would be useful again.
Moreover, with an expert like Li Qing here, it would be a pity not to make use of him. Li Qing could tell if there was a problem with the winery.
Thinking of this, he said to Li Qing, “Mr. Li, let’s go and take a look. Besides, since you’re so interested, how about I give you a stake?”
“What kind?” Li Qing was interested.
Qin Lin smiled and said, “A bottle of medicinal wine in an ancient silver bottle.”
Li Qing’s attention was caught. “Medicinal wine in an ancient silver bottle?”
Qin Lin smiled and said, “Gold, silver, and copper. Copper is naturally the lowest grade.”
“Silver-bottled wine is better than bronze?” Li Qing’s eyes instantly lit up, even a little hot.
There was no need to mention the effects of this medicinal wine. The taste of the 10-year-old medicinal wine yesterday was already very good. Now that Boss Qin said that it was only the lowest grade, wouldn’t it be at the level of old wine if there were higher grade silver bottles?
Li Qing immediately said impatiently, “Boss Qin, how can I get this prize?”
Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen also looked over.
If it was gold, silver, and copper, and there were copper and silver, then there was also gold, right? So what kind of wine was it?
Li Qing was right. Boss Qin hid a lot of good stuff.
When Qin Lin heard Li Qing’s words, he smiled and said, “Mr. Li, when we go to the wine factory later, I won’t say anything. You can check the wine cellar and wine of the wine factory and evaluate the wine. Let’s see how far your evaluation is from mine. If you can do it as well as mine, then I’ll give you a bottle of medicinal wine in an ancient silver bottle.”
When Li Qing heard this, he said decisively, “Boss Qin, even I can’t compare to you in brewing wine. However, if you want to taste wine and verify the winery, then if I, Li Qing, say that I’m second in the province, then no one will dare to say that they’re first. I’ll definitely take your prize.”
Qin Lin smiled. He wanted him to be so confident!
