Chapter 389 Ruyi Signboard

The women were already quite impressed with the fruit wine's appearance, even before tasting it! Its looks alone were a feast for the eyes.

"Hey buddy, is this wine really free to sample? No charge?" The woman was a connoisseur of wine and was eager to try it! But this wine didn't look cheap at all, which was why she was surprised. She hoped it wasn't like those unscrupulous merchants who break their promises!

The new waiter, a quick-witted young man, hurriedly said with a smile, "Madam, you're too kind. Our Ruyi Restaurant aims for long-term business, so we always keep our word! Our boss said that all these fruit wines are for tasting today. However, only one glass is allowed per person. Ladies, please try them and see which one suits your taste. If you don't like any, it's perfectly fine not to buy any."

The young waiter smiled on the surface, but felt sorry for his boss. So many wines had been sampled; wouldn't he lose money? But the boss said, "If we don't let people taste them, how will they know how good our wine is? This is called playing the long game."

Indeed, the boss is the boss; his magnanimity is unmatched by ordinary people.

Thinking back to the complicated sales gimmicks of her previous life, Qin San Niang realized that they were still very advantageous compared to Da Sheng's current monotonous sales model! She had never heard of bundled sales tactics such as buy-one-get-one-free or VIP memberships, so she dared not be too hasty and could only take it slowly.

Hearing the waiter's promise, they had no more worries and immediately asked the maid to fetch their favorite fruit wine!

After one bite, everyone's expressions lit up!

"It's so delicious!"

The young lady, dressed in a pale yellow ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), exclaimed sincerely, "I have never tasted such delicious fruit wine before. It is sweet and refreshing without being cloyingly sweet. The wine itself is also very light, but it still leaves a slightly spicy aftertaste."

"Hmm, it's really good." The older woman, who considered herself to be quite knowledgeable, had never tasted fruit wine of this flavor before, and couldn't help but take another sip.

I don't know if it's the intoxicating luster of the glass or the brilliance and sweetness of the fruit wine itself, but it gives me a very wonderful feeling.

Seeing that the ladies were quite satisfied, the waiter serving them was also very happy. It seemed that they would make a profit today!

The boss said there would be a bonus! Although we don't know exactly how much the bonus is, judging from the bright eyes of Xiao Liu and Big Brother, it must be quite a lot.

Even without any bonuses, he still had to work hard; it was twenty-five coins a day! He even got a set of clothes, saving him money on fabric at home, and the best part was, it was cotton! Not bad at all!

The scene downstairs was also bustling. The liquor on the first floor mainly consisted of strong spirits, with the main offerings being Peach Blossom Wine, Pear Blossom Wine, and Drunken Red Dust. Drunken Red Dust was the most basic cellar-aged sorghum liquor, with a high alcohol content, a sweet aftertaste, and a mellow flavor. Because it was aged for the longest time, it had the most unique flavor and was also the most expensive. A two-jin jar of liquor was worth two taels of silver, but compared to Chen Ji's, it was quite reasonable!

Peach blossom wine has a light pink color, unlike the pale yellow of pear blossom wine. It has a very sweet and refreshing taste, and you can really taste peach blossoms when you drink it. Pear blossom wine, on the other hand, has a very crisp and refreshing taste. In short, each has its own merits. Both of these wines are slightly cheaper, with a two-jin jar costing one tael and two mace of silver.

Baijiu (Chinese liquor) doesn't look good in a glass, and it looks out of place. So, Qin San Niang took out some small white porcelain wine cups from her space. When she gently poured the liquor into the clean white porcelain cups, the men couldn't sit still.

Some of the wine lovers were so enticed that they were practically begging for more wine!

I couldn't wait to ask the waiter for a drink. He moved his lips slightly, closed his eyes a little, and then suddenly opened them, looking completely incredulous! This...this wine should only exist in nature!

"Brother Zichang, what do you think of this wine? Why do you look so unhappy?" asked the person who came with him, almost saying, "If you're finished, get out of the way! I haven't had a sip yet!"

The man called Zichang didn't say anything, but he extended his wine cup and asked for a cup of Pear Blossom Wine. After taking a small sip, he showed an expression of amazement and exclaimed, "These are all fine wines! This Pear Blossom Wine truly lives up to its name! In all my years, I have never tasted such fine wine. Come on, waiter, fill my cup with Peach Blossom Wine, I'll have a taste."

"Alright, alright!" Seeing that he was quite prestigious among the patrons and might bring in a lot of customers, the waiter, who was obviously self-taught, quickly stepped forward to pour the drinks.

Those around them, however, were impatient and hurriedly asked the waiter to pour them more wine. They all knew that their elder brother was a connoisseur of wine, capable of composing excellent poetry after drinking; if he said it was good, then it must be good!

How could such good things be complete without them!

Some of the more astute among them began to ponder and ask, "What is the connection between your Ruyi Tavern and Ruyi Cake Shop?"

"My lord, our Ruyi Cake Shop and Ruyi Tavern are owned by the same person! So rest assured, the quality of Ruyi Cake Shop will be the same as that of Ruyi Tavern. We would never ruin our own reputation! Everyone knows that our Ruyi Cake Shop is honest and trustworthy!" Xiao Jin replied with a smile.

Now he finally understood what his boss meant when he said he wanted to make the Ruyi brand big and famous! From now on, no matter what kind of shops Ruyi opens, they will definitely be a guarantee of quality!

The official put on an "I see" expression and laughed, "Oh my, I never thought you two were really from the same family! I knew it! What a coincidence! This is great, I'm a regular customer of Ruyi Cake Shop, your products are very honest!"

After the official finished speaking, many people began to discuss, no wonder the shop assistant looked familiar, wasn't that the shop assistant from Ruyi Cake Shop?

Everyone believed it without a doubt, and they started asking the waiter to pour the wine quickly.

Seeing that everyone was too busy, Xiao Jin quickly came in to help. He was quick and efficient and had a sweet tongue, soon making the customers laugh and bringing in a lot of orders for the shop.

Taking advantage of the siphon effect, pedestrians outside, seeing the huge crowd inside, also came in to join the fun.

Some of the customers were clearly big clients, and they were all invited to a private room on the second floor by Xiao Liu and the others.

At the beginning, the man who had a small argument with Xiao Jin outside also took advantage of his inattention to secretly buy three jars of wine from the store, spending a total of five and a half taels of silver. This was with a 10% discount during the opening. If there had been no discount, it would have cost nearly six taels of silver.

The man sighed, "Good heavens, this is more expensive than my own wine! I don't know why all those wine drinkers are willing to be ripped off? Such a small jar costs two taels of silver, isn't this robbery?"

Hmph, selling like this will only be a hit for a while. In the end, won't they all come back to their own store? Besides, their boss is not someone to be trifled with!

Today, he also received some explosive news, enough to make him report back! The owner of Ruyi Tavern and Ruyi Pastry Shop is actually the same person?! He could already foresee the owner's thunderous rage soon!
