Chapter 29 The best of the best!

Xiao Shahe Village is home to tens of thousands of migrant workers who have come to Beijing.

The Chengnan Village is a mixed bag, with people from all walks of life.

There are small bosses in the wholesale market who earn millions a year, and there are also miserable wage earners who earn four or five thousand a month.

There are also freight drivers like Jiang Tao and Zhang Chao who buy their own trucks and haul goods around, or sell fruit.

Three years ago, Zhang Chao was brought into the business by his classmate Liu Zhiyuan and started selling fruit at the surrounding fairs, earning about eighty to ninety thousand a year.

Compared to many people who work in factories tightening screws or in the service industry, his income is considered good.

Moreover, relatively speaking, the job is much more free.

However, he likes foot massages and spends a lot of money on them every year.

With the same job and similar income,

Liu Zhiyuan and Shan Yufei can save sixty to seventy thousand a year, but he can't even save thirty thousand.

This time, Jiang Tao invited his buddies to invest in a cooperative project, and Liu Zhiyuan and Shan Yufei were able to come up with 50,000 yuan to participate.

Only Zhang Chao didn't have the money to participate, so he could only contribute his labor to help out.

Zhang Chao was lucky yesterday. He played poker with Liu Zhiyuan and Shan Yufei until after 11 p.m. and won more than 700 yuan, so he decided to reward himself.

The person who received him was a woman in her forties with heavy makeup on her face and a somewhat out-of-shape figure.

Just as Zhang Chao was about to enter the small room with the woman, a cell phone ring suddenly rang, and a call came in.

Seeing the name "Jiang Ge" on the caller ID, Zhang Chao was stunned for a moment.

It was already past twelve o'clock, and he really couldn't imagine why Jiang Tao would call him.

However, despite his doubts, Zhang Chao gestured to the woman to be quiet and pressed his finger to answer the phone.

"Hey, Zhang Chao, a driver in one of our small freight groups just said that he saw the anti-pornography team coming to Xiao Shahe Village to crack down on prostitution."

"You like to play around, so I'm reminding you not to get caught."

"Ah? I, I, I'm at home. Let them crack down on prostitution. It's none of my business."

Zhang Chao said it was none of his business, but he was extremely nervous in his heart.

When it comes to cracking down on prostitution, it's better to believe it than not!

Although Zhang Chao likes to play around, he doesn't want to be arrested for it.

If he gets arrested for this and it spreads back to the village, his reputation will be completely ruined for the rest of his life.

Especially for someone like him who is unmarried, it will have a huge impact on future blind dates.

"Okay, it's good that you're at home. Then it's nothing. I'm hanging up."

Jiang Tao hung up the phone after fulfilling his obligation to remind him.

After ending the call with Jiang Tao, Zhang Chao's heart pounded, and the expression on his face became tense.

After hesitating for three seconds, reason finally prevailed over lust.

"Hey, sis, my buddy said there's something going on here tonight. I'm leaving first. You be careful too!"

Before leaving, Zhang Chao didn't forget to remind the woman who received him, and then he quickly trotted out of the massage parlor without looking back.

Sure enough.

Zhang Chao hadn't even walked 200 meters out the door when he saw a team of police officers in police uniforms with flashlights walking towards him.

Seeing this, Zhang Chao broke out in a cold sweat again, and his heart was filled with fear.

If it hadn't been for Jiang Tao's call just now.

He might have been in the middle of a transaction with that woman and might have been caught red-handed!

One of the police officers glanced at Zhang Chao and reminded him:

"Young man, if you have nothing to do at night, go home early."

"Hey, okay, okay, I just got off the night shift and was just about to go back."

Zhang Chao said with a smile, quickly quickening his pace towards the direction of his home.

At the same time, he secretly remembered Jiang Tao's favor and planned to treat him to a meal another day.

… …

The next day at 6 a.m.

Jiang Tao, Liu Zhiyuan, Shan Yufei, and Zhang Chao had breakfast at Guo's Shop.

Four trucks drove mightily towards the Huilongguan Fruit Wholesale Market.

They started hauling goods in the morning, and at noon, they each ate a pancake before continuing to work.

They didn't finish hauling the 10,606 pieces of sugar oranges ordered from Liu Yue until after 4 p.m.

They were all placed in the small courtyard rented yesterday and today.

After unloading the trucks, Jiang Tao took his buddies to a small restaurant in Chengnan Village for a meal.

After eating and drinking their fill, it was just after 5 p.m.

Liu Zhiyuan invited Shan Yufei and Zhang Chao to his house to play cards.

Jiang Tao didn't go. He was still thinking about the 10 jars of Daughter Red he had dug out yesterday.

The wine is just wine in his hands, but it's money when it's sold!

It was only 5:30 p.m. when he got home, so it wasn't very late.

However, Jiang Tao rented a place on the shady side, and the room was already dark.

After entering the door and turning on the light, Jiang Tao squatted down and took out a jar from under the bed.

"Before taking it to sell, I should check the quality!"

"If it's really good, I'll leave two jars for the new year and send one to Father and Father-In-Law."

Jiang Tao thought to himself, putting the wine jar on the floor of the rented house.

At this time, the family's foreign debt has been paid off, and there is no debt on him.

In addition, the sugar orange project can bring Jiang Tao hundreds of thousands of yuan in revenue in the next week.

It's not a big deal to reward yourself with a few bottles of good Daughter Red.

Besides, this wine was all dug out of the ground by him, and it wasn't bought with money.

Thinking of this, Jiang Tao wanted to leave a few jars to reward himself even more!

After working hard outside for a year, don't I deserve to enjoy a bottle of good wine?

Crack, crack, crack, crack—

Jiang Tao quickly knocked off the sealing mud on the wine jar with a small wooden mallet.

The moment he opened the lid of the wine jar, a rich aroma of wine instantly floated out of the jar.

"So fragrant!"

Jiang Tao sniffed his nose, and his eyes lit up as he smelled the intoxicating aroma.

The aroma of this Daughter Red is quite different from the light fragrance and sauce fragrance of ordinary white wine.

It is a compound fragrance composed of multiple components such as esters, alcohols, aldehydes, acids, and carbonyl compounds.

This fragrance is not single, but a fusion of multiple elements.

It has the sweet aroma of glutinous rice and longan, the mellow aroma of nuts, and a faint fruity and floral aroma.

It seems to blend the tenderness of the Jiangnan water town with the precipitation of time.

The Daughter Red in Jiang Tao's hand has been stored for more than 20 years.

The aroma of the wine is rich and mellow, with rich layers, and it is the supreme among supremes!

Holding up the wine jar, he poured half a basin into his usual enamel basin.

The original yellow wine has turned into a deep red color similar to red wine, which looks like a nectar.

Jiang Tao picked up the enamel basin and took a small sip, and his eyes were instantly lit up.

The moment the Daughter Red entered his mouth, the mellow wine instantly bloomed in his mouth.

It is not as thin as white wine, but has a rich and mellow texture.

It's like a carefully prepared milkshake, rich but delicate.

Every sip can feel the perfect fusion of the wine in the mouth, bringing an ultimate comfortable enjoyment.

That smooth feeling is like a piece of fine silk gently stroking the skin.

There is no roughness or irritation at all, only the ultimate delicacy and tenderness.

Although Jiang Tao is not a wine expert, he can also tell that this wine is definitely a rare good wine!

An old wine that has been stored for 20 years, selling it for 20,000 yuan a jar shouldn't be too expensive, right?

Drinking this kind of wine is not just drinking wine, it is drinking the taste of history!
