Rebirth 78: Hunting for Treasure in the Mountains, Spoiling My Wife and Daughter to the Heavens

"By the way, Weiguo, I heard you have some kind of Wuliangye liquor where you live. It's said to not give you a headache, is smooth and mellow, and has a high alcohol content. Could you get some?"

As Hu Dayun chatted, he remembered the bottles of Wuliangye liquor that Commissioner Zhang had served to his guests a while ago.

Wuliangshao liquor is similar to Wuliangye liquor, both being brewed from five kinds of grains.

The only difference is the manufacturing process.

One type is fermented and has a soy sauce flavor, while the other is made from grains.

In Northeast China, many people don't like the soy sauce flavor of Wuliangye, but instead have a special fondness for baijiu (Chinese liquor).

"Wuliangye? How did you know?"

Lu Weiguo, who was still telling Milan how cute the roe deer was, suddenly became interested.

After all, this wine was the result of his work over the past month.

To welcome the Russian team, he brought along Village Chief Huang from Fendou Village and several experienced drunkards from Fendou Village.

I stayed in Zhao Family Village for more than half a month.

Made from a mixture of various grains, it finally produced a flavor that would satisfy every alcoholic.

You should know that in Northeast China, these old drunkards basically drink a small glass of alcohol every day.

Over the years, their sensitivity to alcohol has become comparable to that of professional wine connoisseurs.

As soon as the liquor was brewed, several bottles were sent to Commissioner Zhang.

He initially thought that Commissioner Zhang also knew how to appreciate art.

Unexpectedly, this leader was truly capable of getting things done, as Hu Dayun listened to the lavish banquet hosted by Commissioner Zhang that day.

He could easily imagine how much Commissioner Zhang valued the reform and development of Fendou Village.

"You wouldn't believe it, Milan was there that day too. It was the first time I'd ever seen Commissioner Zhang so happy. He was practically accepting every toast offered to him. I was lucky enough to have a glass at another table that day, and I have to say, this stuff is even better than Moutai. Moutai has too strong a flavor and gets you drunk, but this liquor is mellow and smooth on the palate, just like Milan... cough cough!"

"Well, I later had someone go to your place to inquire, but we still couldn't find that Wuliangye liquor."

Hu Dayun said with some regret.

"You mean the wine that Commissioner Zhang treated us to a few days ago? Hu Dayun, you're quite something, you opened five bottles that day and managed to get a turn?"

The other woman had a standard lesbian short haircut and was dressed neatly and cleanly.

Even when he frowns, there's a hint of heroic spirit.

Just like a man, he stepped forward and put his arm around Hu Dayun's shoulder.

"Liu Cuihua, a tough woman from the Women's Federation, may have a name with 'flower' in it, but she's even more dedicated to her work than any man. She's a well-known strong woman in the industry."

Hu Dayun flicked his hand away, his eyes showing not only admiration but also a hint of fear.

When women get to work, they are not only serious but also meticulous.

Hu Dayun found this hard to accept.

"Lu Weiguo, from Danjiangkou Redevelopment Zone."

"Liu Cuihua from the Women's Federation, I've also heard about the Wuliangye liquor from your area. It seems to be a special supply for the provincial party committee, intended as a complimentary drink at the Russians' banquet."

"It's a real pity, though. I arrived late at Commissioner Zhang's banquet that day and missed out on a drink." Liu Cuihua looked at Hu Dayun with envy.

It has to be said that in just a few days, the name of Wuliangye liquor spread throughout the industry.

If a family can produce a bottle of Wuliangye liquor, it signifies that the family holds a prominent position.

Or perhaps they have close ties with the top officials in the provincial party committee.

"Hu Dayun, didn't you say you were all-powerful, that you could get anything I needed? Sister Cuihua wants to drink that wine, could you get her a bottle?"

Milan rolled her eyes at Hu Dayun, then said leisurely.

"Ah? This...this...this is a special supply from the Provincial Party Committee, wine reserved for official receptions. Even the internal staff might not have enough. I...I..."

Milan knows Hu Dayun too well.

If it's something related to his specialty, the entire venue will probably only hear his loud voice.

The most authoritative voice within the public security system.

On many occasions, when arresting criminals, a few shouts were enough to confuse them.

This is well-known even in Heilongjiang Province.

But now, this hesitant look clearly shows a lack of confidence.

This was the first time she had ever seen Hu Dayun so embarrassed.

It seems there's really no other way.

"Milan, let's not make things difficult for Brother Dayun. I'm not anyone special, just someone who does things for women. Brother Dayun can get it."

They won't give me any to drink, will they? Brother Weiguo, aren't they?

To be able to become the head of the Women's Federation at such a young age, one's mouth must be incredibly sharp.

A few simple words almost made Hu Dayun want to crawl into a hole and disappear.

Lu Weiguo pursed his lips and smiled secretly.

Who says these officials are hard to approach?

Those who can be judged as outstanding young people have all been trained at the grassroots level, and at least they are not the spoiled sons of leaders.

In our relationship, he's almost like the older brother next door.

"Sister Cuihua, if you like that liquor, I'll bring you a few bottles after the banquet. Sister Milan, if you like it, I'll bring you a few bottles too."

It's all homemade liquor made by rural people; it's not worth much.

"Brother Weiguo, this isn't the coarse grain liquor from your rural area, it's five-grain liquor..."

As Hu Dayun spoke, his eyes widened.

As frontline police officers, they immediately noticed the problem in Lu Weiguo's words.

You should know that the Wuliang liquor that everyone is talking about is not the kind of liquor that can be bought for a few cents or even a few dimes in the countryside.

And at this moment, he was able to pick up the conversation, as he had just introduced himself as someone who had changed his business.

Change to a new office.

Commissioner Zhang was specifically in charge of the pilot reform and opening-up issues.

And so on...

"Grain burning? Five grains burning??"

"Hmm, what else could it be? Three-grain liquor, pure grain liquor? Even officials of your rank wouldn't be worthy of it."

Lu Weiguo said calmly.

However, none of the three people gathered together paid attention to Lu Weiguo's teasing.

Instead, they asked very seriously.

"Weiguo, stop joking. We're not kidding you. Commissioner Zhang is hosting a banquet specifically for that Wuliangye liquor. The provincial party committee has been discussing changing the type of liquor for the banquet for three days."

Ultimately, the provincial party committee made the final decision; it's for internal use only and not for sale to the public!

Looking at Lu Weiguo, Hu Dayun felt he was becoming increasingly mysterious.

After all, he was the one among the three who knew Lu Weiguo the best.

"Comrade Weiguo, could you give me a few bottles?"

"Five or six bottles, I guess. I came in a hurry this time and didn't bring too many. I was originally planning to send them to Commissioner Zhang, but his secretary said he didn't have enough wine at home before I came."

Five or six bottles...

Five or six bottles!!!

Throughout the entire banquet, with hundreds of people, Commissioner Zhang only opened a few bottles!

That'll give her five or six bottles right now!

Liu Cuihua plopped down on the stool and, for the first time, seriously looked Lu Weiguo up and down.

This stuff is just like specially supplied cigarettes.

The leaders also smoke, but they always smoke the good kind of cigarettes without labels.

The cigarettes produced by the factory in a year could circle the Earth hundreds of times.

It's possible that only a hundred or so of these were sent as special supplies to leaders, and that's about the annual total.

To be designated as a special supply by the provincial party committee, it's not simply a matter of brewing with five kinds of grains.

The craftsmanship and materials used are absolutely top-notch!
