Chapter 276 Imperial Capital Sanbai
And not only will there be no salary, but there will also be a fine. Those who are less than an hour late will be paid, but will be fined.
People like Cheng Fei who take leave will not be paid, but they will not be fined.
Even if Cheng Fei goes to the company in the afternoon, he will still get no salary. To be honest, this is very inhumane.
Of course, the exception is the business department, because Xinrong Investment’s current business department mainly relies on salesmen to run business outside.
"By the way, Cheng Fei, how is Hu Kai doing now?"
Li Le hasn't seen Hu Kai for a while.
In fact, this was just his own feeling. He and Hu Kai had not seen each other for more than two weeks.
"That kid Hu Kai is still very good 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, right?"
"Absolutely not!" Cheng Fei shook his head and said.
"This guy really works hard!"
A smile appeared on Li Le's face. It was not that he couldn't help Hu Kai. He even thought about asking Hu Kai to 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, at that time he was worried that Hu Kai would lose his job, but now he is not worried at all.
If Hu Kai really loses his job, even if he is unwilling to come to his company, with Li Le's current connections, it will be easy to change Hu Kai's job.
"I'll go and wash up first. The restaurant will probably deliver the food soon. Just ring the doorbell."
"Um!"
Li Le went back to the bedroom, took a shower, changed his clothes and came out.
Sure enough, as he thought, the restaurant had delivered the food, and Cheng Fei was placing the food on the dining table.
"Do you want to drink?" Cheng Fei asked.
Li Le thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I might have something to do in the afternoon, so I won't drink. If you want to drink, just 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 are you drinking this wine?" Li Le looked at Cheng Fei in surprise.
Needless to say, this half bottle of lotus white was leftover from Cheng Fei's previous drink, because Li Le himself had never drank it.
It’s not that Lotus White is a bad wine, on the contrary, it’s so good, a great tonic wine.
Lotus white, chrysanthemum white, and Funiang liquor are known as the three whites of the imperial capital.
Among them, lotus white and chrysanthemum white are produced in the famous Tongrentang.
Lotus liquor was first brewed in the Ming Dynasty. After the Qing Dynasty, the raw materials for brewing were taken from the white lotus flowers in Wanshou Mountain. The liquor was used to entertain princes and ministers at Kunming Lake banquets for wine tasting, and was listed as one of the "imperial liquors".
More than 20 kinds of medicinal materials are added to the brewing of Lotus Baijiu, which is also known as high-grade tonic wine.
Chrysanthemum white is a prepared liquor made from more than 20 kinds of Chinese medicinal materials such as chrysanthemum and distilled by mixing with base liquor.
Its body is crystal clear, colorless, and the wine tastes mellow and refreshing. It combines the aroma of chrysanthemum, medicine, and wine to nourish the body.
It was originally a secret recipe in the Qing Dynasty that was introduced to the people after drinking.
In 2007, the chrysanthemum liquor brewing technique was selected into the imperial city-level intangible cultural heritage list.
In 2008, the traditional chrysanthemum liquor brewing technique was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage.
It is a pity that Lotus White and Chrysanthemum White have been discontinued since Tongrentang became a public-private partnership in 1956.
It was not until 80 years ago that it was produced again. Unfortunately, due to quality issues with the medicinal materials, it no longer had the same efficacy and taste as before. In other words, there is only the secret recipe and brewing technology, and there is no way to produce it.
The raw materials of Funiang Baijiu are high-quality sorghum liquor as the base liquor, mainly bergamot, supplemented by fresh fruits and medicinal materials such as mandarin orange, papaya, and artemisia, and are made through maceration, distillation, aging, and blending.
It has the special aroma of bergamot and other fruity and medicinal aromas. It has a mellow body and has the effects of reducing turbidity, clearing the lungs, and nourishing qi.
Fu Niang Baijiu is the private brew of the "Iron Hat King" Prince Qing in the late Qing Dynasty. It was once produced in the Tongxian Distillery in the imperial capital.
These three wines were once famous traditional wines of the royal family in the Qing Dynasty. Together with Lotus Baijiu and Chrysanthemum Baijiu, they are commonly known as the "Three Baijiu".
"What's wrong with this wine? It tastes good!" Cheng Fei looked at Li Le in confusion and asked.
Li Le curled his lips, could he not know that this wine was delicious? But this is a tonic wine!
Cheng Fei, who is not even married, is not afraid of getting into trouble if he drinks this wine.
"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 is not sore, my legs are not hurting, and I have the strength to do anything. Does this count?"
"Forget it!" Li Le nodded.
"Hehehehe!" Cheng Fei smiled lustfully and said, "And after drinking this stuff, I didn't stop drinking all night long."
"Holy shit..." Li Le looked at Cheng Fei in surprise.
No wonder this guy wants to drink lotus white, it turns out he has already tasted the marrow.
"Brother Fei, don't drink too much of this wine. This is a tonic wine. Drinking too much will cause trouble."
"I know, I didn't realize it was half a bottle! I've already drunk this bottle of wine twice."
Cheng Fei didn't tell Li Le that he had drunk a bottle before and his whole body felt bad. He ran to No. 7 Courtyard and stayed all night before he recovered.
When I drink again, I don't dare to drink so much. I only drink about two taels at a time. For this bottle of Lotus White, after two meals, there is still more than half of the bottle left.
"That's good. Drink less. It's really good for your health, but I still suggest you drink this stuff after you get married."
"Uh!" Cheng Fei was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I won't drink it until this bottle is finished."
"Um!"
Li Le didn't feel sorry for Jiu, but was afraid that Cheng Fei would damage his body.
People today are different from those in the past. In the past, those high-ranking officials had three wives and four concubines. Drinking some lotus white and chrysanthemum white is no problem.
There are many people nowadays who have three wives and four concubines, not to mention a man like Cheng Fei who is not even married.
One of the two people was eating with his head down, and the other was eating and drinking a small drink.
"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 gone home." Cheng Fei took a sip of wine and said.
"Ah! Is it done? How?" 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 passed before I decided to get married.
This is different from him! Because his previous marriage could only be regarded as a fake marriage, but Cheng Fei obviously was not.
"Alas! I have no choice. If I don't get married, I will probably have to live in your house for the rest of my life."
Hearing what Cheng Fei said and looking at his current appearance, Li Le knew that what he said should be true.
