Chapter 347 Cheng Yi, happy birthday!
The next day, Shen Xiangwan personally led the servants to put the finished linings into the bamboo boxes one by one. When the first batch of fired glass wine glasses arrived, they divided into two groups, one group was responsible for installing the linings and the other group was responsible for installing the wine glasses. The finished products were all sent to the winery one after another. Therefore, three days later, Wei's Winery began to officially sell wine.
When everyone first learned that a two-jin bottle of wine would cost a hundred taels of silver, they were shocked and thought they were crazy. But when Cheng Yusheng took out a crystal clear wine glass and said that it was a gift for buying wine, everyone fell silent, and the wealthy families who received the news sent people over.
As they expected, some people did want to stockpile large quantities of wine glasses and collect them to sell for money. Cheng Yusheng only said lightly that the word "gift" was printed on the bottom of the glass, and after showing it to the buyers, those people almost burst into tears on the spot, secretly cursing the Wei family for being so immoral that they could even think of such a shameless operation.
However, even as a gift, the glass wine cup still has collection value, and many wealthy families choose to buy it. They not only collect it themselves, but also give it to others. Needless to say, even though the price is as high as one hundred taels of silver, the wine from Wei's Winery is still selling like hot cakes, and it seems to be selling even hotter and hotter, because people who have drunk the wine gradually discovered that it really seems to have the miraculous effect of calming down and promoting sleep, as well as beautifying the skin.
"Ma'am, the remaining wine and glasses have all been sent to the winery."
More than ten days later, Yuanyue strode into the main hall. The wine sold better than they expected. She had just personally delivered the remaining one thousand bottles to the winery. This was under the premise that Cheng Yusheng was withholding the sales, otherwise it would have been sold out long ago. It was said that some people even came from the provincial capital to buy it, not to mention the wealthy families in other counties. Nowadays, if a wealthy family has never tasted wine, others will look down on it from the bottom of their hearts.
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Chen Xiangwan personally poured her a cup of warm tea. It was the end of March and the weather was getting warmer. They took off their warm down jackets and started to wear thinner clothes. Yuanyue went out for a run and was so hot that she was sweating all over her face.
"Thank you, ma'am."
Yuan Yue took the tea and drank it in one gulp. "Madam, are we really not making wine anymore? Didn't you see the long queue outside the winery? It was all servants from every household queuing up to buy wine. They were all buying at least five bottles at a time. It was really too extravagant!"
In her impression, border cities should all be very poor. She didn't expect there were so many rich people there. A bottle costing one hundred taels of silver. Those people were really willing to spend so much.
"Who said we won't make it anymore? We'll make it another day, but we won't be selling it for now."
She made the wine just to make money, so how could she just sit there and watch the money go unearned?
However, in order to completely whet the appetites of those people, she planned to adopt hunger marketing methods, temporarily out of stock for a few days, and then restock the product when those people were itching to buy it. Moreover, the quantity would be limited, so that they could buy it but could not buy it to their heart's content.
"Yes, wine needs to ferment for more than ten days. Add in the bottling process and it will take at least twenty days to get the product."
Yuan Yue obviously didn't understand the deeper meaning of her words, and Shen Xiangwan didn't want to explain. Last time, she brewed tens of thousands of kilograms of wine, and there was still a lot stored in the cellar. If she really wanted to sell it, she could bottle it immediately. There was no problem of fermentation delaying the time.
"By the way, Master's wife, isn't Cheng Yi's birthday in a few days?"
No longer continuing that topic, Shen Xiangwan turned her head and asked, if she remembered correctly, April 7th was Wei Chengyi's birthday, and today was the end of March. Although he had not returned until now, after arriving in the Eastern Territory, he would return to the space to rest almost every night, so they were not separated.
"Well, are you going to prepare a gift for Chengyi?"
Yun Mengyi nodded and asked with a little curiosity. She was already eight months pregnant. Her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and the old man was getting more and more nervous. He was almost going crazy.
"Yeah, I have that idea."
Shen Xiangwan curled her lips and smiled. There were still several days left, and she had to think carefully about what gift would be most suitable for Wei Chengyi.
"oh?"
Raising her eyebrows, Yun Mengyi looked at her meaningfully. Why was she a little curious?
Everyone in the room pricked up their ears, wondering what gift she was going to give Wei Chengyi, but Shen Xiangwan just gave a cheeky smile: "I have to think about it carefully, I have to give him a surprise!"
"Are you sure it's a surprise, not a shock?"
Not hearing the answer she wanted to hear, Yue Ruyan reflexively complained.
"No matter whether it's a surprise or a shock, you won't have the chance to know anyway."
Little guy, do you really think she doesn't know that she is deliberately provoking him?
Shen Xiangwan stood up and stretched as he spoke: "I'm going back to my room to do research, you guys can chat slowly."
"Um."
Yun Mengyi nodded with a smile. No matter what gift she would give, it was just the interest between the couple, and she didn't really need to know.
"What kind of research is she doing?"
Watching her back disappear from her sight, Yue Ruyan murmured in confusion. Recently, whenever she had nothing to do, she would hide in her room every night to do research. Except for eating, she rarely saw her. The same was true for Mu Yunran. They had already extracted and produced the penicillin, and were producing it in large quantities. They were so busy that they were nowhere to be seen all day long.
The last thousand bottles of wine delivered by Yuanyue were sold out in less than half an hour. Knowing that the wine was temporarily out of stock and uncertain when it would be available again, those who did not buy any or bought less could not help but wail. They all asked Cheng Yusheng to urge the Wei family to make more wine as soon as possible. At the same time, they also believed that the wine brewing process was extremely complicated, otherwise how could they not make any money?
As the calendar entered April, Wei Chengyi finally returned with Yuan Shu and the others, still through space, with Shen Xiangwan picking them up.
"Chengyi, happy birthday!"
On the seventh day of April, Wei Chengyi's birthday, Shen Xiangwan opened his eyes early, turned over and pressed on Wei Chengyi without saying a word, and kissed him hard, smiling like a cat that had successfully stolen some fish.
"It feels good to be so naughty, doesn't it?"
He flicked her forehead with his fingers in annoyance, then Wei Chengyi held her and sat up. The next second, they were already in the bathroom. "Would you like to wash up yourself or should I help you?"
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but free his hands to pat her butt a few times, his face and eyes full of deep and unwavering doting.
"How about I help you wash up today?"
Jumping off him, Shen Xiangwan raised her hand and hooked it around his neck, winking at him mischievously after she finished speaking.
