Chapter 28 10 Jars of Daughter's Red Wine Acquired!

After busying around, it was already noon.

Jiang Tao took Liu Zhiyuan and the other two to a small restaurant in Chengnan Village.

Each person ordered a dish, two meat and two vegetable, and also ordered two bottles of Bai Niu Er liquor.

Jiang Tao smiled and greeted the brothers, saying:

"Everyone, have a good rest this afternoon. Tomorrow, we'll continue to haul goods, and we should be able to start shipping the day after tomorrow."

The chubby Liu Zhiyuan chuckled and said:

"Hopefully, I can make a small profit with Jiang Ge this time, and I can be a little more comfortable financially for the New Year."

"Jiang Ge, is this reliable? I'm still feeling uneasy and very nervous."

Shan Yufei also invested 50,000 yuan. He didn't have as much confidence as Jiang Tao.

"Relax, if it wasn't reliable, would I have invested 250,000? Brothers, just wait to make money and have a good New Year!"

Jiang Tao smiled and handed out cigarettes to everyone. He had a lot of confidence in the information provided by the intelligence system.

The reason why Liu Zhiyuan and Shan Yufei dared to invest 50,000 was because they saw that Jiang Tao had invested 250,000, and that's when they made up their minds.

After a few jokes, the boss quickly brought the dishes and wine they ordered to the table.

Because they didn't have to drive and work in the afternoon, the four of them split two bottles of wine.

After eating and drinking their fill, Jiang Tao took the initiative to pay the bill.

When they walked out of the restaurant, it was already past 3 PM.

Every time Jiang Tao drank alcohol, he didn't want to do anything but sleep.

He rejected Liu Zhiyuan and the others' suggestion to play poker and went home alone.

When passing by a hardware store in Chengnan Village, Jiang Tao went in and bought a brand new iron shovel and a headlamp.

He still remembered the information about Daughter Red that was refreshed this morning.

However, it wasn't convenient to work during the day, so he could only wait until dark to try digging.

After buying the shovel and headlamp, Jiang Tao first put the tools in the small courtyard, and then went straight home to sleep.

He slept until after 7 PM when Jiang Tao was woken up by a video call from his wife, Xu Li.

The couple video chatted for more than an hour before ending the call.

"8:20, I can eat something to replenish my strength and then take action!"

Seeing that it was completely dark outside, Jiang Tao got up and went downstairs.

He ate a plate of meat fried cake and drank a bowl of pimple soup at a small restaurant on the street.

After eating and drinking his fill, he felt warm all over.

Only then did Jiang Tao leisurely come to the independent courtyard he had just rented today.

He took the key out of his pocket and opened the door, and then bolted the door from the inside.

Entering the yard, Jiang Tao's gaze turned towards the base of the west wall.

In his field of vision, there was a square area of about 1 meter long and wide at the base of the west wall that was faintly glowing.

According to his previous treasure hunting experience, the 10 jars of 20-year-old Daughter Red should be buried under that glowing area!

"I just don't know how deep they're buried."

"It's best to dig them out tonight, otherwise, it won't be easy to explain if Xiao Liu and the others see it tomorrow."

"Time is tight and the task is heavy, I have to act quickly!"

After Jiang Tao finished smoking a cigarette, he threw away the cigarette butt and stepped on it, carrying the iron shovel towards the glowing area.

Fortunately, this year is much warmer than in previous years, and the ground hasn't frozen much.

In addition, with the snow a few days ago, the area where Jiang Tao was digging was a little damp, so it wasn't too difficult to dig.

Jiang Tao huffed and puffed for more than an hour, and had already dug a large pit that was 1 meter long and wide and 30 centimeters deep.

He would dig for a while and then rest for a while.

After digging for more than three hours in a row, he had dug down more than a meter deep.

In the sub-zero temperatures of seven or eight degrees Celsius at night, Jiang Tao's clothes were almost soaked with sweat, and his forehead was also covered in sweat.

It was really tiring!

Digging a pit was much more tiring than driving a car to haul goods all day!

But when he thought of the Daughter Red buried below, worth a total of 200,000, it was worth it no matter how hard or tiring it was!

How many years would he have to haul goods to earn 200,000?

Bang!

Suddenly, the shovel hit downwards, making a bang, a different sound than before.

"It's hollow below! It seems like I've dug to the right place!"

Hearing the strange noise coming from below, Jiang Tao's face showed joy, and he dug even harder!

Sure enough, after digging for another ten minutes, a square cement slab similar to a floor tile appeared at the bottom of the pit.

Jiang Tao carefully used the head of the iron shovel to pry open the cement slab, and what came into view were 10 jars of wine arranged neatly!

Obviously, the tenant who hid the wine was also an expert, not burying it directly in the soil.

Instead, he built a mini wine cellar under the soil layer.

This small wine cellar was surrounded by a neat circle of stones, with a thick layer of wooden boards underneath and a cement slab on top.

Only by placing the 10 jars of Daughter Red in such an environment could they slowly ferment.

If they were buried directly in the soil, these 10 jars of Daughter Red would 100% deteriorate and be undrinkable!

Putting down the iron shovel, Jiang Tao carefully took a jar of wine from the pit.

This jar of wine was probably about 2 catty in size.

The label attached to it had rotted and been damaged, but the wine jar and the sealing clay at the mouth of the jar were still intact.

As the saying goes, good wine is three parts brewing and seven parts storing.

This wine, which has been stored for 20 years, must be of good quality!

The intelligence system estimates its value at 200,000, which translates to 20,000 per jar!

Compared to foreign wines that cost tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of yuan per bottle, this price is actually not too outrageous.

Seeing that it was almost 12 o'clock, Jiang Tao didn't bother to observe carefully and first carried the remaining 9 jars of wine from the pit.

Then, he spent another ten minutes filling the pit back in.

It just so happened that it had snowed a few days ago, and there was still a lot of snow at the base of the west wall.

After Jiang Tao restored the scene to its original state and covered it with a layer of snow, it didn't look like anything was wrong.

Carrying two jars at a time, Jiang Tao went back and forth five times, like a thief, carrying all 10 jars of Daughter Red back to his rented house.

After finishing all this, Jiang Tao took off his muddy clothes and collapsed directly on the bed.

Tonight, digging for a few hours was definitely the dirtiest and heaviest work he had done this year.

But when he thought of the value of those 10 jars of Daughter Red, Jiang Tao was tired but happy!

200,000!

This was the biggest windfall he had received in his half-life!

He lay on the bed and rested for about 10 minutes.

Jiang Tao picked up his phone and glanced at it. It was already 5 minutes past 12 o'clock at night!

"The intelligence has been refreshed, let's see what intelligence has been refreshed today!"

With a thought, Jiang Tao opened the intelligence system to view the details.

[Today's Intelligence]: You worked with Zhang Chao today and obtained relevant intelligence—

Zhang Chao is currently in a massage parlor in xiao shahe village, preparing to engage in a transaction involving money and sex with a woman.

The anti-vice squad will come here in 5 minutes!

…

"Zhang Chao, this kid, is so unlucky!"

"If it weren't for me, you would have to spend the New Year in jail."

Seeing the intelligence that was refreshed today, Jiang Tao was slightly disappointed.

He still preferred intelligence about making money!

But disappointment aside, Jiang Tao still found Zhang Chao's phone number on his phone and dialed it.
