If Ning Huan was after money, given Yu Chengren's status, she could easily have lived a life of luxury in town, but she didn't.
Si Yan knew that Ning Huan was also a doctor who genuinely wanted to save people and cure their illnesses.
Hearing Si Yan's words, Ning Huan knew that he was speaking up for her, and smiled slightly, saying, "Thank you for your kind words, Manager Si. This young master Si Mo is in the restaurant business, so it's not wrong for him to talk business from a purely commercial perspective."
"I do have a business opportunity that I can discuss with Young Master Si Mo's Drunken Smoke Pavilion. I wonder if Young Master Si Mo would be willing to listen?"
Simo replied, "I would like to hear the details."
Ning Huan and Madam Pang exchanged a glance, then handed the cup to Si Mo: "The wine here is brewed in our own home. Young Master Si Mo, would you like to try it and see how it tastes?"
The wine glass that Ning Huan held up emitted a fragrant aroma. Si Mo had always enjoyed wine tasting, so he had tasted quite a few fine wines.
But this glass of wine seemed different from any he had ever drunk before, so he picked it up and took a small sip.
It has a smooth and sweet taste upon first sip, and surprisingly, it has a refreshing feel upon closer tasting. After the wine goes down the throat, there is a surprisingly sweet and crisp sensation.
This wine has a very unique flavor; very few wines can combine both sweetness and crispness at the same time.
Even though he had tasted wines that had both a sweet and a crisp flavor before.
But it tasted like a forced melon, not particularly delicious; it was just something to satisfy a curiosity.
But the taste of this wine was as if it was meant to be this way.
The delicate sweetness and the bold, refreshing taste blend together perfectly, just the right amount.
Such a taste made Simo unable to resist pouring himself another glass of wine to savor it.
Seeing Si Mo pour himself another glass of wine, Ning Huan smiled faintly and then handed two more glasses to Si Yan and Chen Liu.
Their reactions after tasting the wine were exactly the same as Si Mo's.
Si Mo couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "Ning Huan's winemaking skills are truly amazing! The taste of this wine is absolutely wonderful!"
He suddenly realized that if this wine appeared at Zuiyanlou, the business of Zuiyanlou would definitely be booming in the future.
So he couldn't wait to ask, "How about we ask Lady Ning Huan to name a price for this wine and sell it to our Zuiyanlou?"
Ning Huan thought for a few seconds without rushing, glanced at Pang Shi, and then nodded to Si Mo.
That's exactly what she was waiting for.
Since Pang returned, Ning Huan has asked her about her liquor business.
After returning home from the Pang family, he had a fight with Ning Xingde and Ning Xu, and put the liquor business aside.
In fact, the Ning family started out in the liquor business. Many people in the village saw that the Ning family had made a small fortune by selling liquor, so they followed suit and started selling liquor as well.
At first, it wasn't a big deal if only one or two families did this kind of business. But over time, half the households in the village started selling alcohol.
When business people compete, they don't care about friends and family; lowering prices, reducing quantities, and lowering quality are common tactics.
This made it difficult for the Ning family to do business. They went from making a small fortune at the beginning to barely being able to support their family later on.
However, because Ning Xingde and the Pang family were honest people, they did not lower the quality of their wines even if they earned less money.
Therefore, many people do business with the Ning family because they believe the Ning family's wine is authentic and genuine. This allows them to barely make a living.
Ke Ning's family's liquor business had never been very good, so even if they had excellent-tasting liquor, it would take some time for buyers to spread the word.
Although good wine needs no bush, Ning Huan had a better idea after seeing Si Mo today.
If they could cooperate with Zuiyanlou, the Ning family's business would grow considerably, essentially providing them with a stable income in the future.
Moreover, with such a prestigious brand as Zuiyanlou, many people will likely come to the Ning family specifically to order wine because of its taste.
At first, when Ning Huan and Madam Pang came up with this idea, Madam Pang was somewhat incredulous and quickly waved her hand, saying, "Daughter, I know you're doing this for the good of the family, but how could such a large restaurant as Zuiyanlou possibly do business with a small family like ours?"
"How can our drinks possibly meet their standards?"
Ning Huan advised, "Mother, you should have confidence in our own wine. What do you think of the taste?"
After thinking for a moment, Madam Pang nodded and said, "The taste of this wine is truly excellent, Mother. In the past, the quality of our wine has always been much better than that of other people, but the buyers didn't seem to notice much difference. Even though we thought it was good, they just thought it was cheap."
"The wine you're brewing now, Huan'er, is made using a method similar to ours, but the taste is worlds apart. I've been in the wine business for so many years, and I've never tasted any wine that tastes this good."
Ning Huan nodded and replied, "That's it then. Since Mother has said so, do you think Zuiyanlou will do this business with us?"
As it turns out, Ning Huan was right.
Si Mo couldn't wait to move the wine from Ning Huan's house. Si Yan reminded him, "This is someone else's house. How can you start talking business before you've even eaten? And you want to take their things right now?"
Pang said with a smile, "We will send as much wine as Zuiyanlou needs in the future, so please rest assured, Young Master Si Mo, there's no need to rush."
Ning Huan didn't mention the price of the drinks, only saying that they would discuss it after dinner.
Upon hearing this, Chen Liu's heart skipped a beat. He had been wondering why his eyelid had twitched earlier. Judging from Ning Huan's words, it seemed she was about to rip off his employer again.
It's really tough for him to run a business without real power as the manager.
However, seeing that Si Mo's mind was completely focused on the wine business, he had no choice but to agree.
Besides, the wine did taste quite good.
However, Zhou Jing'an, who was standing to the side, did not listen to Ning Huan and Si Mo's business conversation; he just stared intently at Si Yan.
She thought to herself: Why is this man always speaking up for Ning Huan today?
Zhou Jing'an frowned slightly. The relationship between Doctor Si and Ning Huan was merely a business transaction, so why was he taking such good care of her?
Could it be that he has feelings for Ning Huan?
Thinking of this, Zhou Jing'an was somewhat displeased, but then he changed his mind and put on a gentler expression.
He smiled and said softly, "My wife, the wine you brewed is very fragrant and delicious, and the dishes you prepared today are exceptionally sumptuous. You've really worked hard."
