Chapter 317 Apricot Blossom Wine
The fact that they no longer stand on ceremony indicates that their relationship has improved.
"Alright, stop joking around. Go prepare some food and lamps for me. I'm going to be working late tonight."
Hearing Jiang Mi's words, Si Qin and Mo Hua both showed expressions of heartache. Their young lady was always so tired, but no matter what, they would stay by her side.
Jiang Mi first made peach blossom wine. Sometimes, one skill is enough to make a living for a lifetime, but now that Jiang Mi has a system, she has many skills, so she made some changes to the peach blossom wine recipe.
"It smells so good!" Mo Hua was half asleep, but the aroma of the wine woke her up. Before she even opened her eyes, her nose was already close to the wine.
"Why do you smell like a cat? Does it smell nice?" Jiang Mi tapped her little nose and said affectionately.
Mo Hua nodded repeatedly: "It smells so good, Miss, may I have a taste?"
"Okay." Jiang Mi gave her a little bit to try because she didn't know how much Mo Hua could drink, and she figured that neither of the two girls could hold their liquor very well.
Siqin also came over, and Jiang Mi fed her a sip. Her eyes widened immediately, and she said with surprise, "It's so delicious! I've smelled many kinds of wine in the wine alley before, but none of them smell as good as this. It tastes so sweet too. Miss, how are you so amazing? You can do everything. Are you a fairy from heaven who has descended to earth?"
Jiang Mi was amused by the two of them and laughed: "Alright, alright, stop flattering me. You two really know how to praise me in different ways. Back in our hometown, our own restaurant sold this wine, and it was because of this wine that our business was so good."
"No wonder," Siqin advised Jiang Mi. "Even if the food is just average, with such good wine, many customers will come. If you want to open a restaurant, Miss, it's not impossible." She continued, "You just need to hire a top chef at a high price and decorate the restaurant in a unique way, and naturally, many customers will come."
Jiang Mi had planned to do the same before, but now she has changed her mind. It's better not to be too high-profile. She is already quite famous, and even the nobles in the palace know about her soap. If she always shows off, she might attract jealousy and cause unnecessary trouble.
“We have enough money to live on now, so I plan to open a small winery. I’ll take my time and do business slowly. This is peach blossom wine, and I’ll try making apricot blossom wine next.”
Mo Hua immediately became expectant again: "That should taste very good too. Miss seems to particularly like flowers."
Because Jiang Mi's soap also contains a lot of flowers, Mo Hua naturally assumed that Jiang Mi must really like flowers.
Jiang Mi shook her head: "It's alright. The flowers are nice, but I don't like them to a certain extent. It's just that the things made from them are very attractive. The previous flower-scented soap attracted women, but this wine made from flowers attracts men."
Mo Hua puffed out her cheeks and said, "Who said that? It attracted me too. I'm a woman, after all."
Jiang Mi was exhausted after a long night, but after talking to the two of them, she felt no longer tired at all.
"Alright, you've all been working hard all night. Go get some sleep. I'll take the wine to my family so they can try it too. If it's good, I'll have someone start making it in large quantities. I also need to check out the small wineries. The alley behind the academy was pretty good last time; I think they sell wine there too."
Siqin thought for a moment and said, "That alley is really nice. There's a very mysterious shop at the very end. It doesn't even have a signboard. Many people are guessing what it is."
Jiang Mi suddenly remembered that she had gone in there once before and even met Huo Ran there.
"Forget it, let's not rush this. I need to prepare the wine first before we can do business. You guys go to sleep."
After Jiang Mi finished speaking, she went to the front. Jiang Cheng and his mother were used to working in the fields and never slept in late in the morning. They even cultivated a small plot of land in their yard and started growing vegetables. This saved them money on buying vegetables. The cook would come over and pick a few bunches of vegetables to cook whenever he had free time. The family lived a very comfortable life.
Jiang Mi felt very warm inside as she looked at this heartwarming scene. She thought how wonderful it would be if her older brother and sister-in-law were here too, making the family complete.
"Dad, Mom, I brought you here to enjoy your lives, why are you working again?"
Jiang's mother said with a smile, "Since we're just idling around anyway, we might as well do something. This way, we can save money on groceries. Although we're not short of money now, we should still save where we can."
Jiang Mi was at a loss; the two elderly people were already used to it, and it wouldn't change them in a short time.
"Alright, then you two mustn't overwork yourselves. By the way, have your elder brother and sister-in-law written to you recently?"
Jiang Cheng said, "I just arrived this morning. I said everything at home is fine and business is very busy. I'll come over when I have a little free time."
Being busy with business is a good thing, at least it allows you to make money and showcase your skills. Now that the restaurants in both counties have been handed over to Jiang Yan, he must be under a lot of pressure.
"Alright, I've added a little wine for everyone today."
When Jiang Mi took out the wine, Jiang Cheng's eyes lit up: "This is... peach blossom wine? Oh my, I've been so bored these past few days. I haven't had this wine in so long, I've really been craving it."
Upon hearing this, Jiang's mother couldn't help but laugh and scold him: "You good-for-nothing! I've never seen you talk about your daughter like this before. This wine is your treasure, though. I think you should just spend your life with wine."
Jiang Mi watched her parents bickering and laughed along, "Mom, you should try it too. I added something to this wine, so it's a little different from before. You two try it and see if the old one is better or the new one."
Jiang Cheng couldn't wait to pour himself a small cup and slowly savor it, while Jiang Mi also poured a cup for her mother.
"This wine seems to have become even more fragrant and mellow. The previous peach blossom wine was already very good, but now it seems to be even more mature. Honey, your skills have become even more refined."
I had a sudden idea to make ginger honey last night, and it turned out pretty good.
"If Dad thinks it's good, then it's good. I'm planning to open a winery. I'll just sell wine then, which will save me from having to deal with other things."
Jiang's mother and Jiang Cheng originally thought that Jiang Mi was going to open a restaurant here, so they were quite surprised to hear her say that.
"That's good. If the business is simple, things will be simple too. This wine alone has already won over the entire capital. If you don't open a restaurant, you're also letting other restaurants have a better chance of doing business."
