Chapter 685 (1/2)

Alaska is vast and quiet in winter. Except for the coastline, most areas are covered with ice and snow.

It was evening when Huang Liang and Kui wolf arrived in anchorage.

The days in Alaska are very short this season. It's dark before four o'clock. The lights of the city have long been on, but they are not as bright as the snow reflected by the chugaqi snow mountain behind it. A golden moon hung high on the top of the mountain, without any dust and fog to block its light, just as bright as the sun in the night.

A young man named nruk came to pick them up. According to Hong Kui, he is also an Inuit and is still his distant cousin. However, they don't pay as much attention to seniority as Chinese, so they don't care much about this, but they are extremely United because of their race and blood relationship.

Anchorage is the largest city in Alaska, and the wolf family will certainly not give up this place.

As early as 100 years ago, they began to invest here when it was just a port of the newly built Alaska railway. At that time, the Wolff family was far from as strong as today. They could not touch the construction of Meryl airport and lissen fortress, but they also made good achievements in developing scattered businesses around the railway, and became a considerable commercial block many years later.

In 1964, a 9.2-magnitude earthquake struck anchorage, and everything was facing reconstruction. The wolf family inevitably suffered huge losses, but reconstruction gave them a chance. They began to fully intervene in the construction of cities and towns and the development of local resources. In 1968, oil was discovered in Prado Bay on the north coast of Alaska, which is the home of Eskimos, and the wolf family became the biggest beneficiary. Accordingly, anchorage, located in the southern transportation hub, has also been better developed.

Enruk is very talkative and tells them everything about here while driving. Of course, he mainly told Huangliang, a foreigner, and Hong Kui had already dozed off in the back seat.

Huang Liang knew that he had a heavy responsibility and should not and did not want to linger around the scenery, but Enrique's enthusiasm infected him and made him think about the past and present lives of the city.

It can be seen that nruk is very proud of being a member of the wolf family, even if he has never participated in the core affairs of the family or even been to Vancouver.

Instead of staying in the luxury tourist hotel in the center of anchorage, nor seeing the imagined Grand Manor, they entered a small villa on the outskirts of the city.

Hong Kui said that this is the first property of the wolf family in anchorage. A hundred years ago, it was covered with simple sheds. Although it was a little far from the port, many dock workers were willing to live here for the sake of a mouthful of hot wine that can make people's viscera and even bones hot.

Huang Liang drank this wine in front of the fireplace in the house. It is said that this wine is brewed by the ancient Indian method. The wine is not particularly strong, but it is really warm. When it is imported, it is like a warm flame swallowed into the abdomen and scattered into all parts and bones.

Hong Kui asked him, ”how about wine?”

”It's probably the best wine I've ever had in my life,” he said

Hong Kui sighed and said: ”Indians don't think so. They prefer to drink spirits from Europe. The colonists used this to get more benefits from the fur trade. Spirits spread in the Indian tribes like drugs, quickly consuming their wealth and spirit. They forgot that their ancestors would also make wine in their drinking, and Can brew the most beautiful wine in the world. ”

Looking at the wine as white as goat's milk in the glass, Huang Liang asked curiously, ”so where did the wine I drink now come from?”

Enruk, who had been with them, said, ”this was brewed by our family's winery. When the railway was just built here more than 100 years ago, Lord Wolff wanted to open a winery here. He invited some Indians to make wine, and the technology has been preserved. Now the winemakers in the winery have changed for many generations, and none of them is Indian.”

Huang Liang is a little sad. People always can't see the precious things they have, and it's good to easily believe in foreign things.

He said: ”fortunately, it has been preserved. Finally, I have a good mouth. If only I could drink such wine every day, the citizens of anchorage are really lucky!”

Hong Kui smiled and said: ”You are lucky, but the citizens of anchorage are not so lucky. The production of this kind of wine is very low. In the past, wine was very precious in Indian tribes because the production of wine was too low and Indians were very good. Usually, the wine produced by this brewing method is not enough for people of a tribe to drink. They can only store it every year on special days Only tribal leaders and important people can drink freely. Although we have improved our technology, we can't change the raw materials and basic technology to maintain the taste, and the output is still very low. Therefore, we only serve internal staff, and this wine can't be sold outside. ”

Huangliang felt that the cup in his hand was a little heavier, but its mellow wine flavor was much lighter. The wine flavor was always mixed with human flavor. No matter how good the wine lacked human flavor, it would not be wine.
