"Everyone should try Yang Tou's fruit wine."
Yang Tou said somewhat embarrassedly, "These are all homemade, I hope you won't find them unpalatable."
Yang Tou brought quite a lot, several jugs, the flavors mixed together. Song Ning seemed to smell grapes, the rich aroma of wine spreading out, even Song Ning, who doesn't like drinking, couldn't help but swallow.
Yang Tou handed over the cup: "Miss Song, please have a taste."
Song Ning took the glass, took a sip, and found it sweet and mellow. Although it was wine, it wasn't spicy at all; instead, it had a refreshing peach flavor. It was delicious.
Yang Tou asked expectantly, "Miss Song, how was it?"
"Mmm, it's delicious. It's definitely better than the one we had at the restaurant last time. It even has a peach flavor," Song Ning said with delight.
"This is fruit wine specially brewed by my parents. It's suitable for young women and children. You won't get drunk easily, and it can be enjoyed as an everyday drink."
After tasting the fruit wine, everyone exclaimed, "Yang, you actually have such good stuff at home!"
"Yes, Mr. Yang, your fruit wine is so delicious, why don't you sell it outside?"
Today we brought four or five kinds of fruit wine. If these fruit wines were sold in a restaurant, they would definitely be popular.
The fruit wines on the market today are nothing compared to the ones Yang Tou brought today. They're ridiculously expensive, claiming they're all made from fresh fruit. Once chilled, a single pot can sell for half a tael of silver.
"No wonder you were so disgusted with that fruit wine last time. Compared to this, yours is really delicious," Song Ning said with a smile.
“Miss Song, you may not know this, but most of the restaurants in Huzhou are managed by the Li family. They have their own brewery, and all the restaurants and eateries in the city buy their wine from the Li family’s brewery. My family’s wine… is indeed not up to par.”
That was indeed an understatement, but Song Ning understood. She had already inquired and learned that the Li family was the most powerful in Huzhou, practically monopolizing the drinks in all the restaurants, and they also had ties to the government. Nobody wanted to offend such a family.
Even the Li Family Restaurant uses the same drinks; since everyone is using the same ones, no one else wants to cause trouble.
But Song Ning didn't think so. The drinks in the restaurant were naturally selected from the best. Since they were going to buy drinks anyway, why couldn't the Yang family make the money?
Upon hearing this, Yang Tou was naturally extremely grateful.
His family used to brew wine, but ever since the Li family opened their own winery, his family's wine has become unsellable, and they can only keep it for themselves.
But his parents loved brewing wine, and the family's wine was almost overflowing. Unexpectedly, Song Ning not only saved him, but has now become his family's cash cow.
"Then it's settled. From now on, I'll buy all the drinks for my restaurant from Yang's place."
Upon hearing Song Ning's words, the Su family members on the other side became somewhat worried.
Although the Su family had never owned a restaurant, they were aware of the Li family's status in Huzhou.
The Li family had a close relationship with the prefect, and aside from matters of alcohol, no one dared to offend them in any other aspect.
"Why do you all look like that? If our restaurant has such delicious drinks in the future, we're sure to have no shortage of customers."
Su Hongxiu whispered, "Master, the Li family has a lot of influence in Huzhou. We can't afford to provoke them easily."
Previously, a restaurant refused to buy wine from Li's winery, and the next day the restaurant closed down, and the owner disappeared without a trace. It's said that the Li family...
As he spoke, he gestured at his neck.
Song Ning smiled nonchalantly: "Don't worry, we do business openly and honestly. The law is still in effect. I don't believe those people can really disregard human life and treat the law as nothing."
Su Hongxiu wanted to say something, but seeing Song Ning's nonchalant attitude, she ultimately remained silent, glanced at Su Mingchao beside her, and sighed softly.
This fruit wine is indeed delicious today, but...
They had thought this Miss Song was a smart person, but they didn't expect her to be so impulsive. This restaurant probably won't last long.
Looking up, I saw my younger brother across from me, holding a wine glass and looking completely relaxed, without a trace of worry.
Shi Tou knew what his older brother and sister were thinking. He took a sip of fruit wine, raised his hand, and the meaning was clear: there was no problem.
Song Ning really didn't want to cause trouble, but now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to.
However, she now possesses a token given to her by Princess Jianing, which was personally bestowed by His Majesty. As long as she is in the Jin Dynasty, this token can make all officials bow their heads and kneel.
Princess Jianing left in a hurry last time and didn't have time to return the token, so it has been kept in the space ever since.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. Since I'm going to open a restaurant in Huzhou, I'm confident that I can keep it going. We'll all be family from now on, so just wait and see."
The next day, Boss Su found craftsmen and the shop began renovations, which would be completed in ten days at most.
These days, Su Mingchao and his wife are in charge of purchasing the things that the front of the restaurant will need, Su Hongxiu is taking Su Hongyu to buy necessities for the kitchen, Su Laoda is the supervisor and is in charge of renovating the shop, and as for the old lady Su, she has called a few close sisters to sew something.
The rest is a matter for Song Ning, Xiao Cui, and Shunzi.
That day, the girls from Qingyuefang went out to shop, and Zhao Qiao'er finally followed them out. When she passed by Song Ning's shop, she saw him coming out of the door.
Song Ning smiled at her, and Zhao Qiao'er was delighted, but out of consideration for the people around her, she remained silent.
As Song Ning walked down the steps and brushed past her, he quietly handed her the note in his hand.
Zhao Qiao'er quickly and discreetly clutched the note in her hand, then casually followed the others away.
Judging by the time, Li Ji should be arriving soon.
Sure enough, Li Ji arrived in high spirits the very next day.
The shop was crowded, so Song Ning led him to the backyard.
There was no one in the backyard. As soon as they entered, Li Ji couldn't wait to put his arm around her waist.
Song Ning dodged to the side, forcing a smile: "Young Master Li, what are you doing?"
Li Ji thought it was just a bit of fun between the two of them, but then said something that disgusted Song Ning: "Are you upset that I haven't come to see you these past few days? Oh dear, I have my reasons. I've been busy with business these past few days and I really haven't been able to get away."
Those who don't know him might really think he's some kind of upright gentleman based on these words.
What upright gentleman would abduct a woman in the street? He would use sweet words to deceive her, and once he got what he wanted, he would send her to a brothel and go there from time to time to seek pleasure and excitement.
Later, I got tired of it and stopped going, letting it fend for itself.
This is what Zhao Qiao'er told her that day.
If it were just Zhao Qiao'er, it would be fine, but there have been dozens, if not hundreds, of people like Zhao Qiao'er over the years.
Li Ji is a pervert. In recent years, people like Zhao Qiao'er are considered lucky, at least they are still alive. Others were played to death when they were only fifteen or sixteen.
It's an injustice from God that such a person is still alive.
