$952, Dongsheng Winery (1/2)

"What a strong aroma of wine."

The sturdy man walked out of the dark room, took a deep breath, and said with an intoxicated look.

The sky of Jiushen Valley was clear and bright, which was rarely seen in other valleys. White clouds floated on the blue sky.

Under the sky, there were huge warehouses lined up in a row. The tall chimneys of the warehouses spewed pale white steam. The billowing steam dissolved in the air, and the strong aroma of wine drifted around.

Su Wu looked at the scene in front of him and saw many painted words on the walls of the tall warehouses.

'Dongsheng Winery'.

'Grain Storage Plant'.

'Cell'.

'Distillery'.

...

All the warehouse buildings in Jiushen Valley belong to the 'Dongsheng Winery' and are the production workshops of the 'Dongsheng Winery'.

"Is the Dongsheng Winery the only winery in Jiushen Valley?" Su Wu looked at the rows of warehouse buildings in front of him and asked the sturdy man next to him.

"Among the thousands of valleys, only Jiushen Valley produces wine, and Jiushen Valley has only this Dongsheng Winery, so the whole world has only Dongsheng Winery that makes and sells wine." The strong man sniffed hard a few times and answered Su Wu with a smile.

Su Wu nodded.

He walked towards the large wine jars that surrounded the many high warehouses.

Those wine jars were stacked layer by layer on all sides of the "Dongsheng Winery", which had become the outer wall of the entire Dongsheng Winery. Many ropes and wooden ladders were lowered from the wine jars piled high, and many figures went up and down with the help of those rope ladders and ropes. These people were all employees of Dongsheng Winery.

Their residence was the wine jars.

"Dongsheng Winery is equivalent to owning the entire Jiushen Valley, so who is in charge of this winery?

Is he also a "wall man"? "Su Wu walked towards the stacked wine jars while talking to the strong man behind him.

"Dongsheng Distillery has 'base wine master' and 'cellar master' who are from the wall, and 'bartender master' and 'tasting master' who are from the locals, but who is in charge of the entire Dongsheng Distillery... this is uncertain.

In many cases, the three great masters who are higher in status than the 'base wine master', 'cellar master' and 'bartender master' take turns to manage the entire Dongsheng Distillery.

These three great masters are not fixed.

They are 'self-elected' from the employees of Dongsheng Distillery. When each great master is in charge of Dongsheng Distillery, the body of the wine produced by Dongsheng Distillery will show obvious changes, and the 'aroma', 'foretone', 'taste' and 'aftertaste' of the wine will show various differences. It can be said that the Dongsheng wine of this period is just like two different wines from the Dongsheng wine of the previous period!" The strong man said, and shifted the topic to wine.

Su Wu approached the rows of wine jars-the living area of ​​the factory workers.

Among the many wine jars, the smallest one is only the size of a fist, and there are people living inside.

The largest one is as big as a thatched cottage.

Su Wu came here mainly to find 'Zhang Shuangguo'.

In his reply to Su Wu, Zhang Shuangguo clearly told Su Wu where he lived.

'Dongshengqi District, Blue and White Jade Porcelain District, Room 127 on the third floor'.

At that moment, Su Wu was in the 'Dongshengqi District'. A wooden sign was erected in front of the stacked wine jar rooms. Su Wu stood in front of the many wine jars. At a glance, he could see that the containers of various materials were arranged in several rows. The place where he stood belonged to the 'pottery area'.

He identified the location of the more high-end blue and white jade porcelain, and walked towards that place.

Many people came and went along the way, all wearing the work clothes of Dongsheng Winery. Su Wu walked past them and could smell the various different aromas, sourness, and odors of grain fermentation emanating from them.

"Every three Grand Masters are 'self-selected' by the employees of Dongsheng Winery.

In this way, Dongsheng Winery has continued to this day, and I think there must be dozens or hundreds of Grand Masters, right?" Su Wu asked.

"There are still three." The strong man said as he looked at the many containers with different craftsmanship and materials around him.

Su Wu frowned: "Why are there only three?

Could it be that since the establishment of Dongsheng Winery, the first three Grand Masters have not been rotated yet?"

The 'Grand Masters' and 'Grandfathers' in this world are very different from ordinary people. They can live 'outside' of the boundary and can go in and out 'inside and out' at will - Su Wu speculated that in this dream world, ordinary people are ultimately just 'parts' of an unknown existence in the dream. They have no way to escape from the dream. Once they escape from the dream, they will 'die in the light' and 'melt' on the spot.

The existence of the 'Grand Masters' and 'Grandfathers' generation is different.

They may have the ability to walk on the edge of dreams and reality, so they can leave the boundary and contact the outside world.

Even more, they can really enter the reality and become real "people" in the eyes of others!

The three great masters of Dongsheng Winery have reached this level. Each of them has been in charge of the winery for hundreds of thousands of years. The three have not yet rotated. In Su Wu's opinion, it is reasonable.

However, the strong man shook his head when he heard it: "How can it not be rotated?

Dongsheng Winery has rotated more than a hundred great masters.

Basically, one is rotated every year, and a new group of great masters must be selected every three years."

"Then how can there be only three great masters?

The great masters who rotated are no longer great masters?" Su Wu asked again.

In Su Wu's opinion, this strong man from Mantou Mountain was not an ordinary person. He could always give answers to any questions he asked, which showed that he was extraordinary.

Su Wu guessed that he might be the person sent by the 'existence in the dark' to guide him.

“Every master of Dongsheng Winery needs to step into the cellar within one year of being ‘on duty’, so that he can complement the aroma accumulated in the cellar to brew wine.

Wait until their shift is finished.

Naturally, they completely melted and dissipated.

Where would anything be left?

After this rotation from generation to generation, naturally there will always be only three great masters. "The strong man replied nonchalantly.

Su Wu paused after hearing this, and said: "The so-called Dongsheng Distillery employees self-determined to elect three great masters, but in fact they finally chose three people to die?!"

"That's right." The strong man said matter-of-factly, "Everyone will die.

No one can live forever.

After those "people on the wall" became cellar workers, their strong emotions would also infiltrate into the koji during the process of brewing the koji. When the blenders prepared the wine, the wine slurry would also infiltrate them - all brewing Every step in the process consumes the life of the worker.

In my opinion, instead of being a brewer, living hard for more than ten years, and finally being completely transformed into wine, it is better to be selected to be the Supreme Master and use oneself to brew unique wine. Dominate the direction of the entire Dongsheng Winery for a year! "

Su Wu was silent for a while.

He glanced at the strong man and said, "Because you are not a winery worker, so you would naturally say this."

The strong man opened his mouth and was speechless by Su Wu's words.

He is indeed not a winery worker.

If he were a winery worker, he would definitely not want to live for only one year before dying.

Round, square, long-necked, short-necked, and round-bellied blue and white porcelain vases were stacked up into a mountain. Many people walked in and out of the mouths of the blue and white porcelain vases along the rope ladder.

The strong man looked at the many porcelain bottles in the blue and white jade porcelain area, and sighed: "Grandpa Tian, ​​your friend should also be a well-established worker in Dongsheng Winery... It is very good to be able to get a residence in the blue and white jade porcelain area. ”

"They all live in bottles and jars, so what's the difference between them?" Su Wu shook his head.

The strong man disagreed: "If you want to put it this way, people either live in stacked blocks or in bottles and jars. Why are we pursuing these blocks and jars?

It's always because these things are given various different values.

So people always look at these things with a veil.

People are always affected by other people's opinions. "

"You're right." Su Wu nodded.

His eyes were searching among the mountains of blue and white porcelain bottles, and he soon found the 'Room 127 on the third floor' - a round-bellied general bottle stood there, with a rope ladder extending from the mouth of the bottle.

However, even though he had found Zhang Shuangguo's residence, he could not rashly crawl into someone else's house now.

——There are people guarding the main entrance of every 'residential complex'.

Just when Su Wu was considering whether to send another letter to Zhang Shuangguo, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around and saw 'Zhang Shuangguo' standing behind him wearing work clothes, with a strong aroma of wine coming from him. Radiate out.

Zhang Shuangguo's face was full of exhaustion. While his body exuded a strong aroma of wine, his figure also became a little unreal.

——Brewing will consume the lifespan of brewing workers!

He must have just gotten off work. When he saw Su Wu, a smile appeared on his tired face: "Benefactor, I thought it would take a few days for you to arrive, but I didn't expect you to come so early.

Come on, come home with me first. "

"You were able to recognize me right away?" Su Wu said with some surprise after hearing Zhang Shuangguo's words.

He had never had any interaction with Zhang Shuangguo before. In this dream world, he only sent Zhang Shuangguo's memory, but to his surprise, the other party seemed to recognize him directly.

“You have the aroma of my secret wine.

Of course I know him. " Zhang Shuangguo replied with a smile. He glanced at the smiling strong man next to Su Wu and said, "I brought some wine back from the factory. I'll make some dishes later. Let's talk while drinking. . "

"Okay." Su Wu nodded.

The strong man next to him couldn't help being happy when he heard that he could have a drink today. He also nodded quickly and thanked Zhang Shuangguo repeatedly.

With Zhang Shuangguo leading the way, the guard at the door naturally did not stop Su and Wu.

The three of them climbed up to the third floor of the Blue and White Porcelain Vase Mountain and entered Zhang Shuangguo's residence.
