Huang Shaolan and Fatty Xie helped the Cheng family pack up the snack stall and load it onto the donkey cart.
Seeing that Cheng Yue had something to discuss, Jiang took Cheng Jinxing to go shopping. The weather was getting warmer, and she planned to buy some cloth. The whole family had been very tired recently, and she planned to wait until Shanshui came back and there was someone to help at the stall, and then she would work with her daughter-in-law to make clothes for everyone in the family.
In the skewers shop, the decoration workers were still working, and Fatty Xie took Cheng Yue and Huang Shaolan to the backyard.
"Ayue, let me tell you, the nobles in the capital, especially the ladies, all like to drink this wine. But ordinary people can't drink it!"
“It’s not that you can’t buy it, but even if you have money, you don’t have anywhere to buy it.”
"This wine is an annual tribute from a small country in the west. After the emperor distributes it to the nobles in the palace, he rewards some to important ministers. So, it's something that money can't buy."
"Some merchants went to small countries in the west specifically to buy this wine, but after shipping it back, the profit was completely unworthy! So the major wineries in Da Qi started brewing it themselves, but each one couldn't make it! The winemaking method used by each one was completely ineffective!"
"Ayue, if you can make wine, our Huang Family Winery will definitely be taken to the next level!"
"Ayue..."
As soon as Huang Shaolan sat down, she began to talk incessantly about the frustration of the people of Da Qi who could not make wine. She also talked a lot about the value of wine and how their winery was trying to make wine.
"Shao Lan, the grapes aren't ripe yet, so I can't show you the wine I brew. But I can brew other fruit wines. Many fruits can be used to make wine."
After hearing this, Cheng Yue spread his hands and said.
"Oh, yes, Yue, you just mentioned mulberry wine! Mulberries, right? There are a lot of them around my farm, and there are also cherry trees. The cherries should be ripe in a few days. Oh, yes, yes, and loquats too!"
Huang Shaolan said excitedly.
"Cheng Yue, my farm also has these fruits. During these days every year, people from the farm below will send baskets of fruits here."
Fatty Xie said on the side.
"So Shaolan wants to cooperate with me on this fruit wine? Let me make it clear, I won't sell this recipe. It has to be a collaboration between us!"
Cheng Yue sat upright, looked at Huang Shaolan and said.
Huang Shaolan paused. If she cooperated, she might not be able to make the decision.
She was not like Fatty Xie, the only son in the family. She was just a girl, and the family business would eventually be passed on to her younger brother.
Cheng Yue didn't rush to speak, just waiting for Huang Shaolan to think about it herself.
To be honest, she had a lot of things in her hands, and she would definitely make a lot of money if she used them, but she was short of manpower. Moreover, in this feudal ancient times, even though the status of women was higher than in the history she had learned, it did not mean that women could really do things outside as conveniently as men.
If she had traveled through time during the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty and the reign of the Queen, she wouldn't have to worry about certain problems.
But now it is not the empress who is in power. It is the empress's descendants who are in power for many generations. Moreover, Da Qi only had one founding empress, and after that all the emperors were men. The status of women is not like that when the empress was in power.
Therefore, she wanted to see whether Huang Shaolan had the determination to start her own business before finally deciding whether to work with her.
