Chapter 684

In the underground wine cellar of the winery, Su Xinghui saw a strange kind of wine-holding utensil. It was a large basket woven from thick rattan. This basket was woven very finely, and the diameter of the basket reached more than two meters, as tall as a person.

Su Xinghui asked with some surprise: "Factory Director Chen, can this kind of basket also hold wine? Won't it leak?"

Chen Xiangui smiled: "Town Mayor, these baskets are full of wine. Look, is it leaking?"

Su Xinghui looked at the dry outer wall of the basket and shook his head.

Chen Xiangui said: "This thing is called a 'Wine Sea,' woven from the kind of long rattan produced in the mountains. After weaving, hemp paper and white cotton cloth are pasted on the inner wall with deer blood and lime, and it must be pasted for a hundred layers. Then it is coated with a mixture of egg white, beeswax, rapeseed oil, etc., and then dried. It becomes a Wine Sea. It doesn't leak when holding wine. This one Wine Sea can hold five or six tons of wine."

Su Xinghui was a bit unbelievable: "Factory Director Chen, are you telling the truth? This is too magical, right?"

Chen Xiangui said: "There is more magical. This Wine Sea doesn't leak when holding wine, but it leaks all when holding water. So as long as it is stored in the Wine Sea, it must be genuine raw liquor. And the wine stored in this Wine Sea, the longer the time, the better the quality, which is much better than other containers."

Su Xinghui finally understood why the wine Chen Xianyi gave him to drink that day was so delicious. It must have been stored in the Wine Sea, stored for thirty years, and its quality can be imagined.

Su Xinghui counted roughly, and there were at least more than 100 Wine Seas in this wine cellar. Each Wine Sea was fixed with a kind of wooden frame. In this way, these more than 100 Wine Seas could store at least more than 1,000 tons of wine. If these were all aged wine for many years, this could also be considered a huge wealth.

In addition to these Wine Seas, there were also some wine jars and other wine-holding utensils in the wine cellar. These utensils were naturally not as magical as this Wine Sea.

Chen Xiangui added: "Our Pengjiawan Winery has a history of more than 100 years. The oldest of these Wine Seas also has a history of more than 100 years. Such a long time makes these Wine Seas carry the taste of time."

Su Xinghui nodded: "It seems that your winery still has some old foundations!"

Chen Xiangui said: "That is of course. Pengjiawan Winery has a history of more than 100 years, so there will always be some old foundations. It is a pity that the production of this Wine Sea is too time-consuming. It takes nearly a year for a Wine Sea to be completed. Now the raw materials are becoming less and less, and the people who can make this Wine Sea are becoming fewer and fewer, so now the new Wine Seas are becoming fewer and fewer."

Su Xinghui pondered: "With such a foundation, I think Pengjiawan Winery can still reshape its brilliance."

Chen Xiangui nodded: "I also hope to see this day soon."

Su Xinghui said: "Factory Director Chen, I will leave first. You should write a report on the current situation of the winery and your plan to revitalize the winery as soon as possible, and hand it to me after you write it."

Chen Xiangui nodded and agreed, and then sent Su Xinghui and Liu Yongjun to the car.

Su Xinghui drove the car out of the winery gate. He smiled and asked Liu Yongjun: "Did you record everything Factory Director Chen said just now?"

Liu Yongjun nodded: "Yes, I recorded it all."

Su Xinghui said: "I can't tell that you are still a person with a heart. If you have this kind of care, you will definitely succeed in the future."

Liu Yongjun said embarrassedly: "My memory is not very good. As the saying goes, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen, so I have developed this habit."

Su Xinghui nodded appreciatively and said nothing more.

Next, the two went to the food factory, porcelain factory, furniture factory and other enterprises one after another to conduct research on these enterprises. These enterprises were also quite prosperous enterprises, but now they have all fallen into a predicament to varying degrees.

The reasons for these enterprises falling into a predicament are naturally diverse, but they are nothing more than the two factors of cost increase and sales decline mentioned by Chen Xiangui.

Seeing the current situation of these enterprises, Su Xinghui also frowned. These enterprises are state-owned enterprises or collective enterprises, with heavy burdens, and equipment and technology are becoming backward day by day. Wanting to reverse such a predicament is not a matter of overnight.

After seeing these enterprises, Su Xinghui and Liu Yongjun returned to the town government. These enterprises are the main sources of GDP and tax revenue in Pengjiawanzhen. If you want the economy of Pengjiawanzhen to develop, these enterprises must get out of the predicament. Su Xinghui also needs to think carefully about this problem. ===== CHAPTER 686 =====
