Chapter 298 This time it’s all thanks to you
The shopkeeper carefully lifted the red cloth covering the jar, and just when Diao Xinyan thought he was being mysterious, a rich and mellow aroma of wine instantly spread and drifted throughout this small, inconspicuous shop.
With a smile on his face, he picked up the wine jug beside him and skillfully poured the fine wine from the jar into the wine. The wine was as crystal clear as amber and rippled gently in the jug.
"Girls, take a good look! This is the monkey wine that we have treasured for a long time. It is made with the freshest wild fruits from the mountains. It is carefully brewed by our tribesmen and has been sealed in this cave for many years..."
Diao Xinyan is not a drunkard, but she has learned how to taste wine. She can tell from the smell that if her drunkard uncle smells it, he would probably kneel down and beg the shopkeeper.
"I don't even let ordinary guests take a look at it, let alone taste it. It was only when Miss Meng asked that I took it out. Please taste it carefully."
After saying that, he quickly brought two exquisite wine glasses, filled them steadily with wine from the jug, and respectfully handed them to Mengna and Diao Xinyan with both hands. His eyes narrowed into slits, and he smiled brilliantly.
Mengna declined on the grounds that she was still young, but Diao Xinyan took it and said she had tasted both cups.
She gently picked up the wine glass, put it to her nose and took a light sniff. The mellow and rich aroma of the wine instantly went straight to her heart and lungs through her nasal cavity. She couldn't help but close her eyes slightly and indulge in it.
As she expected, she was amazed by the wine.
Diao Xinyan took a sip, and the wine spread on the tip of her tongue. At first there was a refreshing sweet and sour taste, which was the original taste of wild fruit, as if it carried the scent of sunshine in the mountains.
Then, the mellow aroma of wine spreads in the mouth. The spiciness of the wine and the fruity aroma blend perfectly, stimulating the taste buds without making people feel abrupt.
The wine slides down the throat, bringing a warmth that warms the heart and makes the whole body feel comfortable.
"This wine..." Diao Xinyan opened her eyes, her eyes full of amazement, "I've never tasted such delicious wine! Even I, who don't like drinking, can't help but want to drink a few more glasses."
When the shopkeeper heard the compliment, the smile on his face became even brighter, and his eyes almost narrowed into a line.
"Girl, you have good taste! It's not easy to brew this monkey wine. Our tribesmen select the freshest wild fruits in the mountains. Those wild fruits have absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and grow on cliffs and in places where few people go. After picking them, we brew them in a specific cave according to the secret recipe passed down by our ancestors. After being sealed for many years, it has this excellent taste."
Diao Xinyan took another sip, savoring the flavor of the wine. The scene of wild fruits all over the mountains and the shopkeeper's relatives busy picking them in the mountains and forests emerged in her mind.
"Such good wine must be expensive, right?" she asked.
The shopkeeper rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Miss, this wine is precious, so the price is naturally not cheap. But for a distinguished guest like you who knows wine, if you really like it, I will naturally give you a fair price. Moreover, if I can make this deal with you, if you want to taste it again in the future, we can also supply it for a long time."
Diao Xinyan nodded. She really liked the monkey wine and thought about bringing some back to her second uncle. He would be ecstatic.
Maybe he would no longer despise her for not having a penis and urge her father to take in a few concubines to give birth to a son.
"I'm afraid the shopkeeper has misunderstood what I meant. What I meant was that if this order is completed, my Diao family can sell your wine all over the world."
The shopkeeper's eyes widened in surprise. The smile on his face froze for a moment, and then bloomed again with an even more exaggerated amplitude, as if he was hit by a pie in the sky.
He was so excited that his hands were shaking slightly, and he stammered, "Girl...you...are you serious? Can the Diao family...really sell our monkey wine all over the world?"
He originally thought that Diao Xinyan just wanted to buy a few more jars of wine, but he didn't expect it to lead to such a huge business opportunity. At this moment, he felt his heart beating like thunder and even his breathing became rapid.
Mona watched the shopkeeper's loss of composure and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
She gently touched Diao Xinyan, her eyes full of admiration: "Sister Xinyan, let me tell you, the deal I'm introducing to you is a big deal."
The shopkeeper quickly came to his senses, took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said to Diao Xinyan sincerely: "Miss, you don't know that it is precisely because monkey wine is precious that the production is really limited.
For ordinary-grade Monkey Wine, we can guarantee a certain supply to meet your needs for distribution in various places. But the 'Jintan' monkey wine you just tasted can't be produced in large quantities in a year.
As you know, the wild fruits used in this 'Jintan' monkey wine are of the highest quality. They are extremely difficult to pick, the brewing process is even more complicated, and the requirements for the sealing environment are also extremely harsh, so they are scarce and very hard to come by. ”
Diao Xinyan frowned slightly. She was obsessed with the unique flavor of "Jintan" monkey wine. She wanted to promote this top-quality wine to the world and make monkey wine famous, but the production problem became a stumbling block.
However, as the eldest daughter of the Diao family, she never gives up easily.
"Boss, I understand the difficulty. But since I am willing to cooperate with you, I will not let this problem become an obstacle. Tell me, how much of this 'Jintan' monkey wine can be produced in a year?"
The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said cautiously, "Girl, if you're lucky, you can make two or three hundred jars of this 'Golden Jar' Monkey Wine a year. If you're unlucky, you might only make a hundred or so jars."
Diao Xinyan was speechless: "..."
She thought there were only a dozen or twenty jars, but there are so many?
But if we think about selling it to places other than Ningtong, each country will only get a few dozen jars, and then distribute them to different families and tribes...
Diao Xinyan smiled and said, "Boss, let's put it this way. I will manage the 'Jintan' monkey wine independently and take the high-end route. For the ordinary monkey wine, we will promote it with all our strength according to the normal distribution process. What do you think?"
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded quickly: "Miss, this is a good suggestion! With the help of the Diao family in promoting it, our monkey wine will definitely shine. But the price of this 'Jintan' monkey wine..."
Diao Xinyan smiled and said, "We can discuss the price. But don't worry, I will never let you suffer a loss. Moreover, I will highlight the rarity and uniqueness of the 'Jintan' Monkey Wine in the publicity, and ensure that it will become a treasure among wines and be highly sought after."
The shopkeeper was filled with joy. He stretched out his hand and said excitedly, "Miss, it's a deal then! It's our honor to cooperate with the Diao family."
Diao Xinyan also stretched out her hand and shook it tightly with the shopkeeper.
After just a short stroll, they had already closed two deals. Diao Xinyan really felt that Mona was a treasure and knew what she wanted.
With these two things, as long as she builds up her business, her say in the Diao family will become stronger and stronger. By then, even without her father, no one else can shake her position.
"Mona, this time it's all thanks to you," Diao Xinyan looked at Mona with gratitude after leaving the store and said, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have discovered these business opportunities."
Mengna blinked her eyes playfully and said with a smile: "Sister Xinyan, why are we still saying thank you to each other? I know you have always been ambitious and want to make a name for yourself in the Diao family. So, when I saw the right opportunity, I quickly dragged you here. How about me, a younger sister, treating you well?"
"Yeah! You've been so good to me! From now on you will be my real sister. If anyone dares to bully you, tell me my name and I will definitely protect you. Although I can't protect you and let you walk around Ningtongguo as you please, but if you need money anywhere, just tell me and I will definitely transfer it to you." Whether it was out of gratitude or for the sake of this connection, Diao Xinyan held on tightly.
