Chapter 144 Selling Wine
Jiang Cheng nodded: "Honey is right. A girl like you has more ideas than you men. You need to reflect on this. You can't just live your lives by clinging to your own little corner of the world. You're still young, what are you afraid of? Even your old man isn't afraid!"
Jiang Yan felt ashamed after being told off by his own father, so he stopped saying anything discouraging.
"Honey, it must be hard work making this. I see you've lost weight recently. Eat more and don't forget to eat. You look better when you're a little chubby. It's heartbreaking to see you so thin."
Perhaps because everyone is often with Jiang Mi, they knew she had lost weight, but this was the first time they had noticed how much weight she had lost.
Jiang Zhi was the first to lose his temper: "What happened? Is Honey sick? She used to be so cute when she was chubby, how come she's suddenly lost so much weight?"
“Yeah, I’ve noticed that Honey is eating less too. She used to love eating, and she could eat a lot of anything she saw. Now she only eats a little bit,” Jiang Xuan said. The twin brothers had the same expression.
Jiang Mi was delighted to hear this: "Isn't it good to be thin? I like being thin, and it's healthier that way. Being fat is bad. Clothes don't look good on you, and people will laugh at you. I don't want to be laughed at for being a fat person."
Hearing Jiang Mi say this, the Jiang family members all showed expressions of heartache. Jiang Mi quickly changed the subject: "That's why I've become thin and beautiful now, and a lot of people have praised me."
That's the truth. After the restaurant opened, everyone who saw Jiang Mi praised her for being beautiful. Many people even wanted to arrange marriages for her. Jiang's mother was overjoyed every day, but she was reluctant to marry off her daughter so soon.
"By the way, Mom and Dad, could you help me brew some wine tomorrow? Let's try selling it as soon as possible and see how it goes. If it's good, we'll hire more people to help. If business is good, we'll need to hire more workers."
Jiang's mother said worriedly, "But if we're all at the restaurant, what about the fields? The potatoes are almost ready to be harvested. Oh dear, we're so busy. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing."
Jiang Cheng said to her, "Of course it's a good thing. Do you want to be idle? You know, you won't have any money to spend if you're idle. Being busy like this makes life more fulfilling. It's all thanks to our Honey. When Honey was born, some people said she was a little lucky star. My Honey really brings us good fortune."
The family chatted and laughed as they ate dinner. The next morning, Jiang's mother went back to Hongyang Village and entrusted the work in the fields to Zhu Qiancheng. Although he was her own father, she didn't want him to help her for nothing at his age.
"Dad, Honey recently brewed some wine that's really good. I'll bring it to you to try in a while. We really can't take care of the work in the fields anymore. Could you help look after them? We've hired workers to do the work, so you don't have to do anything. Just come and check on things when you have time. The workers are all from our village, and we all know them."
Zhu Qiancheng readily agreed: "We're all family, no need for formalities. You just go about your business. I've heard that the restaurant is doing well. It's all thanks to Honey's skill and the good fortune of your Jiang family. You must seize this opportunity."
Jiang's mother nodded, then sighed. She felt that she was already so old, yet she still had to trouble her parents. It was really wrong of her. It would be best if she could come back and take care of things herself.
"Dad, this is some tonic that Honey asked me to bring. It's specially for you and Mom. Remember to take it."
Zhu Qiancheng said disdainfully, "Why are you buying all this nonsense? Don't think that just because you've made some money you can start spending it recklessly. These things are unnecessary and they're all scams."
Jiang's mother smiled and said, "It's all the child's good intention. She doesn't have time to come back now, but she'll definitely let her come back to see you when she has time."
For the elderly, companionship is always more valuable than money.
The Jiang family brewed a large vat of peach blossom wine in just two days. Even if it didn't sell well, they could drink it themselves. The taste was so delicious that Jiang Cheng had already stolen a few drinks. Once, he was caught by his mother and was severely scolded.
"This bottle is really beautiful." Su Yindi saw that the table was full of wine jugs, all of which she had never seen before.
"Isn't it beautiful? I specially selected this one. Only something like this can match our peach blossom wine. If we just used an ordinary wine pot, it wouldn't be worthy of such fine peach blossom wine. Therefore, the price can't be cheap."
Hearing this, Jiang's mother asked worriedly, "If it's too expensive, won't anyone buy it?"
Jiang Mi smiled and said, "Our restaurant's food is affordable so that ordinary people can have enough to eat. But ordinary people don't have much interest in alcohol. I want to sell to rich people. If it's cheap, everyone can afford it. Then we will not only be in short supply, but we will also work very hard to make money. Only by offering less but better quality food will people have a greater desire to buy it."
None of the women in the group understood what she was saying, but they all felt that what she said must make sense.
"Mother, have the waiter put these wines on the counter so that customers can smell them as soon as they arrive. Also, put the name 'Peach Blossom Wine' next to them, and anyone who is interested will definitely come and ask about it."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Actually, Jiang Mi was overthinking it. They were drinking in the backyard, and the smell could be smelled by pedestrians on the surrounding street. Not to mention those who like to drink, even those who don't drink much were drawn in.
"Shopkeeper, I smell a wonderful aroma of wine here. Is it from your shop?"
Jiang Yan quickly said, "You can smell it? It's from our family, just brewed. Would you like to try some?"
That person was a drinker, so naturally he didn't want to miss out.
"Okay, but this wine smells so good, it must be expensive, right?"
Jiang Yan smiled mysteriously, recalling what Jiang Mi had taught him, and said, "It is indeed not cheap, half the price of ordinary wine, and the quantity is also small. There is only one vat today. Do you still want some?"
Upon hearing the price, the man considered backing out, but when he learned that there was only one vat available, he steeled himself and said, "Give me a pot! It smells so good, it's really awakened my thirst for alcohol. If I don't try it, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well tonight."
Jiang Yan smiled and asked the waiter to bring over a pot. The area was surrounded by people, all drawn by the aroma of the wine. They had also heard the price Jiang Yan mentioned. Some who were reluctant to buy it decided to come and see if it was worth the price.
Jiang Yan didn't chase these people away. He was counting on them to help him build his reputation, which would attract even more people to buy his peach blossom wine.
