Chapter 145 Suddenly Returns
The man poured himself a glass, smelled it first, then took a small sip, exclaimed in amazement, and widened his eyes: "This...this wine tastes so good! This wine should only exist in heaven! I never thought I could drink such good wine here. My life has really been worthwhile!"
Hearing him say that, the others couldn't help but swallow hard. The smell of the wine was enough to attract people, let alone the taste. Some wine lovers, in particular, couldn't control themselves.
"Waiter, bring me a pot too. This wine is so fragrant, I have to try it no matter how expensive it is."
The others were also tempted. Some ordered drinks, while others, reluctant to spend the money, simply smelled the aroma and looked completely captivated.
"Shopkeeper, where did you get this wine from? It's such good wine, how come we didn't know about it?"
The children, having received news about Jiang Mi, all truthfully replied, "Our family's wine is brewed using a secret recipe; it can't be bought anywhere else. If you want to drink it, you can only do so by coming to our house."
"Oh, I see. Your manager is amazing! He can brew such good wine. Why didn't you bring it out sooner?"
The boy said, "It was just brewed recently, and the daily quantity is limited. The earlier you arrive, the better; if you arrive late, there might be none left. You're lucky. More than half of the wine in the vat has already been sold. If you want to drink more, you'll have to wait until tomorrow."
Someone nearby asked, "Why is there so little? What if more people buy it tomorrow? Won't you increase the quantity? Today is only the first day, so there will definitely be fewer people. What will you do if there are more people?"
"Exactly, it's rare to have business like this, why wouldn't you make money? What are your boss's plans?"
At this moment, Jiang Mi came over and explained, "It's like this, everyone. Right now, we don't have enough manpower. We're already doing our best to produce one tank a day. If we want to increase the output, we'll have to hire a master craftsman, but it's not easy to find a suitable one. However, since everyone is so supportive, we will definitely find a way to increase production."
"You must produce more! I need to work hard to earn money so I can come and drink your wine. This wine is so good, I can never get enough of it."
"Definitely, definitely, I won't let everyone down." Jiang Mi was very happy to receive so much affirmation, which gave her even more motivation.
When she returned to the backyard, she found that the wine jars were empty. In just half a day, the wine had sold incredibly well.
"System, this wine is so good, are there other flavors?"
The system, which hadn't appeared for a long time, lazily spoke.
Of course, but there's no such thing as a free lunch. If you don't trigger any new quests, how can I give you any benefits?
Jiang Mi said with dissatisfaction, "You haven't shown up for a long time. Have you been slacking off?"
The system seemed to have been caught and coughed awkwardly.
[What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly slack off? You should focus on managing your current business properly. You're far from being a good woman. All you think about is making money; you don't even bother to improve your image.]
Jiang Mi thought to herself, "Nothing is more important than making money. Clearing my name won't bring me any benefits. But I won't say it out loud. I've learned my lesson after being shocked so many times. Being outspoken won't do me any good."
"Alright, alright, I'll try my best to clear my name. By the way, how can I get other brewing recipes?"
This secret cannot be revealed; you can develop the new mission yourself.
After saying that, the system disappeared. Jiang Mi was helpless. Lately, the system had been appearing and disappearing mysteriously, as if it were very busy, but she didn't know what it was busy with.
Wait, isn't it a good thing that the system is no longer bothering her? Why is she still so reluctant to let go?
The peach blossom wine sold very well, and more and more people came begging to taste it. People from other counties even traveled a long way just to taste this legendary wine. Many people didn't believe it at first, but when they smelled the aroma, they were already captivated.
The wine they brew now is far from enough to drink; it's often sold out very early in the morning, leaving those who arrive late to only be able to smell it with regret.
"Honey, the wine business is booming! It's even boosting our restaurant's business. Should we brew more wine?"
Seeing how well the business was doing, Jiang's mother thought it would be a waste not to make money. She tapped Jiang Cheng's head and said, "You, we can't even sell enough wine, and you still sneak drinks every day. You've become an alcoholic."
Jiang Cheng would only sneak a sip of about half a pot of wine each day. The wine tasted good but wasn't very intoxicating, so many women liked it.
"Oh dear, it would be a waste if I didn't try such good wine. Everyone else would be so envious. You want to brew more? We only have so many people, how can we brew more? Are we really going to invite the master brewer over?"
They were all worried that the precious secret recipe would be learned by other masters.
Jiang Mi wasn't worried: "It's alright, you don't need to worry. This secret recipe requires a very crucial step, which I won't tell those masters, and naturally I won't let them know. That's why we invited the masters here. They've studied for hundreds of years, but they still haven't grasped the essence, and their peach blossom wine won't taste like ours."
Hearing Jiang Mi's words, everyone felt relieved.
"Then what's there to hesitate about? Hurry up, boss, go find a skilled master today. Don't just bring anyone back casually. Choose carefully. The person should be honest and upright. Don't take those who look dishonest. Be careful."
“I understand, Mother. We’ll look for those respected elders in our town. With all the disasters lately, many people are stuck at home with no work to do. Those skilled workers will definitely be easy to find.”
Jiang Yan went to find the master craftsman himself. Jiang Mi instructed him to find two experienced masters and then find a few more apprentices so that they could brew more each day.
There was only one pot left for today, and Jiang Mi planned to keep it for herself to have a few drinks, but unexpectedly she ran into Huo Ran, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you. Have you been very busy lately?" Jiang Mi specially arranged a private room for Huo Ran and prepared food. After all, they were old acquaintances, and besides, Huo Ran was the one who helped open this restaurant.
"I've been quite busy lately. Your sweet potatoes were a great help to me last time, so I came here specifically to thank you."
Actually, while he said he came to thank her, Huo Ran hadn't seen Jiang Mi for a long time. Although he had been busy these days, he would unconsciously think of Jiang Mi whenever he had a spare moment, especially last night when he even dreamed about her for no reason.
