Chapter 343 Business is Good
Jiang Mi greeted him, then went to the backyard to take a look. Seeing everyone busy at work, she asked Manager Wang, "Is business good lately? Why is everyone producing such a large quantity?"
Manager Wang is now beaming with pride, much more so than when he first arrived.
"Manager, please forgive me for criticizing you, but you really have a big heart. You haven't been here since the winery opened. This is the first time I've seen a manager like you. No wonder Manager Liu kept praising you, saying that working here is more comfortable than anywhere else. It's true."
Jiang Mi listened, and it didn't sound like something nice.
"Isn't it because you're here? You were recommended by Manager Liu, so you must be serious and responsible. Since I've hired you, I naturally have to trust you. I understand the principle of trusting those I employ and not employing those I don't trust. Besides, I've been very busy lately and don't have time to stay here every day."
Hearing Jiang Mi's words, Manager Wang felt immense trust and became even more responsible for the winery, so as not to betray Jiang Mi's trust in him.
"To be honest, when this winery first opened in this place, you weren't promoting it around, and I was worried about how long it would last. Now it's great, everyone's coming because of the smell, like dogs with noses. Then word spread, and now our winery's business is at its best. I haven't been able to show you the accounts since you haven't come these past few days, so please take a look."
Manager Wang's attitude towards Jiang Mi has completely changed. He is now much more respectful and shows great respect to the little girl. They admire people who are truly capable.
Jiang Mi glanced at the bill and saw that business was indeed very good. It was already quite impressive to achieve this at the very beginning.
"Besides ordinary people coming to buy alcohol, who else comes?"
Manager Wang said, "I was just about to discuss this with you. Several restaurants and eateries in the capital have approached us, saying they want to buy wine from me, and they'll be buying a lot of it. What do you think?"
Jiang Mi opened her winery, and this was the day she had been waiting for. Any restaurant that wants to do good business needs the best wine. Now that her winery's wine is so popular, other restaurants naturally want to take advantage of the opportunity to get a share of the pie.
"Sure, as for the price... the more you buy, the cheaper it will be, since people buy a lot."
Manager Wang nodded: "We offer a lower price, so they buy more wine. But once it gets to their restaurant, it will probably be more expensive than ours."
Jiang Mi knew, of course: "They also need to make money. We only sell alcohol here, so we're not really their competitor. If someone just wants to drink, it's a good deal to buy from us. But if they also want to eat good food and drink good wine, they can only go to their restaurant. So our businesses are completely unrelated."
After hearing Jiang Mi's words, Manager Wang boldly went ahead and did it.
"Shopkeeper, you see, these larger quantities are bought by wealthy people or people from noble families. Nowadays, our wine is not only popular with ordinary people, but also with high-ranking officials and nobles."
This is exactly the effect Jiang Mi wanted. She didn't have to do anything; just giving people a mysterious name was enough to attract them.
"Okay, I understand. We still need to keep an eye on those winemakers; there are bound to be people who want to know our secret recipe right now."
Manager Wang wasn't worried at all: "Without your final step, the flavor wouldn't be this rich and delicious. Even if they stole the secret recipe, they couldn't make it taste like ours."
When Jiang Mi didn't have time, she would ask Mo Hua and Si Qin to come over. She had already handed over the final step to Mo Hua and Si Qin, but only the system could provide her with the final materials, so without the system, these wines would not exist.
Therefore, the only person who could betray her, besides the system, is no one else.
As she was leaving, she noticed An Ziqing was still drinking there, so she couldn't help but go over and ask him, "How long have you been drinking?"
An Ziqing's face turned bright red: "It hasn't been long, has it? Your wine is so delicious that even my business here is better than before. I have to thank you a lot."
In fact, not only An Ziqing's family business has improved, but the business of the entire alley has also improved. Other shop owners are very grateful to Jiang Mi for opening the winery here.
"You should drink less. Drinking too much is bad for your health. Even if it tastes good, you have to be careful about the amount. Don't drink too much."
An Ziqing raised his glass to Jiang Mi, then downed another glass.
Jiang Mi wasn't that close to him, and she only spoke to him briefly. If she interfered too much, she would only be meddling in his affairs.
Jiang Mi never expected that the wine she brewed would actually reach the palace.
"I've heard that this wine is very popular among the people. Have you all tried it?" The emperor sat on the dragon throne, looking at his close ministers and son, waiting to see how they would explain.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the Crown Prince had no choice but to step forward and explain: "Your Majesty, this wine... I only tasted it yesterday. Like you, I am also very busy with many things every day, so I don't have time to drink. Therefore, I only just learned about this wine."
The second prince said, "Like my elder brother, I only just found out."
The other ministers were also making excuses. The Emperor glanced at Huo Ran, who remained silent, and asked, "Why aren't you saying anything? Did you already know about this wine?"
Huo Ran readily admitted, "That's right, I tasted it a long time ago. I even brought it for Your Majesty to try back then, and you praised it highly."
The Emperor was stunned: "When did this happen? I don't remember it."
Huo Ran reminded him, "I was out on business at the time and only came back briefly. I brought you a pot of wine, which you praised highly after tasting it. Have you forgotten?"
The Emperor then remembered: "Oh, it was that time. I felt that this pot of wine seemed somewhat familiar, but it didn't seem to be exactly the same as the previous ones."
Huo Ran explained, "The wine I brought you before was peach blossom wine, but this pot of wine is called plum blossom wine, so the taste is naturally different."
The Emperor nodded approvingly: "Indeed, they are all very good. I haven't tasted such fine wine in many years. The person who brewed it is..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but Huo Ran knew what he was talking about. He was simply asking if the person who brewed the wine was Huo Ran's sweetheart. Huo Ran nodded, and the others had no idea what kind of riddle the two of them were playing.
The Emperor remarked, "They really are capable. They can do everything so well. I'll have to meet them another day. But since this wine is so good, please send more to the palace."
