How can I go back to the past?

Chapter 276: The Three Whites of the Imperial Capital
Not only will you not get paid, you will also be fined. If you are late for less than an hour, you will get paid but will also be fined.

Those who take leave like Cheng Fei will not receive salary, but they will not be fined either.

Even if Cheng Fei went to the company in the afternoon, he still wouldn't get any salary. To be honest, this is very inhumane.

Of course, the business department is excluded, because Xinrong Investment’s current business department mainly relies on salesmen to run business outside.

"By the way, Cheng Fei, how is Hu Kai now?"

Li Le hasn't seen Hu Kai for some time.

In fact, this was just his own feeling. The time he and Hu Kai had not met was definitely no more than two weeks.

"Hu Kai is still a pretty good kid now, there will be no problem in completing the mission."

Li Le nodded and said, "That's good. By the way, you didn't help him secretly, did you?"

"Absolutely not!" Cheng Fei shook his head and said.

“This guy really works hard!”

Li Le smiled. It was not that he couldn't help Hu Kai. He even thought about letting Hu Kai work in his company.

But Hu Kai, like Cheng Fei, was unwilling to go, so Li Le had no choice.

As for helping Hu Kai complete the task, I have secretly helped him once before, so I can't help him all the time.

Besides, he was afraid that Hu Kai would lose his job at that time, but now he is not worried at all.

If Hu Kai really lost his job, even if he was unwilling to come to his company, with Li Le's current network of contacts, it would be easy to find Hu Kai a new job.

"I'll go in and wash up first. I think the restaurant will deliver the food soon. Listen for the doorbell."

"Ok!"

Li Le went back to the bedroom, took a shower, and changed his clothes.

Just as he thought, the restaurant had already delivered the food and Cheng Fei was placing the food on the table.

"Would you like to drink?" Cheng Fei asked.

Li Le thought about it, shook his head and said, "I may have something to do in the afternoon, so I won't drink. If you want to drink, drink some!"

"Okay! I'll drink less by myself."

Then Li Le saw Cheng Fei take half a bottle of Lotus White from the wine rack.

"Brother Fei, why do you drink this wine?" Li Le looked at Cheng Fei in surprise.

Needless to say, this half bottle of Lotus White was what Cheng Fei had left over, because Li Le himself had never drunk it.

It’s not that Lotus White is a bad wine, on the contrary, it’s a very good wine, a very tonic wine.

Lotus White, Chrysanthemum White and Fu Niang Baijiu are known as the Three Whites of the Imperial Capital.

Among them, Lotus White and Chrysanthemum White are produced by the famous Tong Ren Tang.

Lotus Liquor was first brewed in the Ming Dynasty. After the Qing Dynasty, the raw materials for brewing it were taken from the white lotus of Wanshou Mountain. This wine was used to entertain princes and ministers at banquets on the banks of Kunming Lake, and it was listed as "Imperial Wine".

More than twenty kinds of medicinal herbs are added to the brewing of Lotus Liquor, which is also known as a high-end tonic wine.

Chrysanthemum White is a blended liquor made by distilling more than 20 kinds of Chinese medicinal materials such as chrysanthemum with base liquor.

The wine is crystal clear, colorless and transparent, with a mellow and refreshing taste. It combines the aroma of chrysanthemum, medicine and wine, and is nourishing to the body.

It was originally a secret recipe in the palace of the Qing Dynasty and was later introduced to the common people.

In 2007, the chrysanthemum liquor brewing technique was selected into the list of imperial city-level intangible cultural heritage.

In 2008, the traditional brewing technique of Chrysanthemum Liquor was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage.

Unfortunately, after Tong Ren Tang’s public-private partnership in 1955 or 1956, Lotus White and Chrysanthemum White have been discontinued.

It was not until the 1980s that it was produced again, but unfortunately due to the quality problems of the medicinal materials, it no longer had the same efficacy and taste as before. In other words, there was only the secret recipe and brewing technology, and there was no way to produce it again.

The raw materials of Funiang Baijiu are high-quality sorghum Baijiu as the base wine, with bergamot as the main ingredient, supplemented by fresh fruits and medicinal materials such as pomelo, papaya, and artemisia capillaris. It is made through soaking, distillation, aging, and blending.

It has the special aroma of bergamot and other fruity and medicinal aromas. The wine has a mellow body and has the effects of reducing turbidity, clearing the lungs, nourishing the essence and replenishing qi.

Funiang Baijiu was privately brewed by the palace of Prince Qing, the "Iron Hat King" in the late Qing Dynasty, and was once produced in the Tong County Distillery in the imperial capital.

These three wines were once traditional famous wines of the royal family in the Qing Dynasty. Together with Lotus Liquor and Chrysanthemum Liquor, they are commonly known as the "Three Liquors" and are well-known throughout the world.

"What's wrong with this wine? It tastes great!" Cheng Fei looked at Li Le in confusion and asked.

Li Le curled his lips. How could he not know that this wine tasted good? But this was a tonic wine!

Cheng Fei is a man who is not even married, but he drinks this wine without worrying about anything happening.

"It tastes good, but you don't feel anything after drinking it?" Li Le asked.

"Feeling? Yes! After drinking it, I feel refreshed, my waist and legs don't hurt, and I have the energy to do anything. Does this count?"

"Okay!" Li Le nodded.

"Hehehe!" Cheng Fei laughed lewdly and said, "And I drank this stuff all night without stopping."

"Damn..." Li Le looked at Cheng Fei in surprise.

No wonder this guy wants to drink Lianhua Bai, it turns out he has become addicted to it.

"Brother Fei, you can't drink too much of this wine. This is a tonic wine. Drinking too much will cause trouble."

"I know, didn't you see that this is half a bottle? I've already had two meals of this bottle of wine."

Cheng Fei did not tell Li Le that he had drunk a bottle of liquor at once and felt very unwell. He ran to Yard No. 7 and stayed there for a night before he recovered.

When I drink again, I don’t dare to drink so much, only about two taels at a time. I have finished two meals of this bottle of Lianhua Bai, and there is still more than half a bottle left.

"That's good. Drink less. It's good for your health. But I still suggest you drink this stuff after you get married."

"Uh!" Cheng Fei was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I won't drink after I finish this bottle."

"Ok!"

Li Le was not worried about the wine, but was afraid that Cheng Fei would ruin his body.

People nowadays are different from those in the past. In the past, all the dignitaries had three wives and four concubines, and it was no problem for them to drink Lotus White or Chrysanthemum White.

Nowadays, there are many people who have three wives and four concubines, not to mention Cheng Fei who is not even married.

One of them lowered his head to eat, while the other drank a little wine while eating.

"Brother Fei, how are things going at home?" Li Le suddenly asked.

"It's been dealt with. If you hadn't come back, I would have already returned home." Cheng Fei said after taking a sip of wine.

"Ah! It's been dealt with? How was it dealt with?" Li Le asked curiously.

"Marry Chen Ying."

"What?" Li Le was really surprised this time.

It's only been a few days! Not even a week, and they decided to get married.

This is different from him! Because his previous marriage was just a fake marriage, but Cheng Fei's was obviously not.

"Alas! There is no other way. If I don't get married, I will probably have to live in your house for the rest of my life."

After hearing what Cheng Fei said and looking at his current appearance, Li Le knew that what he said must be true.
