In the cold winter, the wine glass is steaming. A scent of osmanthus slowly spread in the building, and the senior drinkers who were nearby couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and watched the rich man drink it eagerly.
Yin Xu didn't expect that he would have such good things on his first day on the job. Although the requirements for acting skills were higher, he used to make a living by cheating in the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom. Later, he was caught by the government and entered the army. The battlefield became cannon fodder.
As the wine entered my throat, the imagined spiciness did not spread from my heart. Instead, it was sweet and smooth, as if what I swallowed was silk instead of wine. The strong fragrance of osmanthus spreads into the limbs and bones, and the pores all over the body seem to open, feeling extremely comfortable.
"This isn't alcohol, it's clearly an addictive poison!"
Yin Xu drank a glass and became a little drunk. At this moment, he had forgotten that he was still acting. He picked up an osmanthus cake and stuffed it into his mouth without any image. His whole mouth was immediately wrapped by another completely different sweetness. .
He chewed it carefully, it was smooth and oily, sweet but not greasy. The aroma of rice is wrapped in the fragrance of osmanthus, with distinct layers of deliciousness, sweetness mixed with freshness, and endless aftertaste.
Yin Xu was completely intoxicated, and there was no need for any artificial performance. His expression said everything. Many people couldn't help but place orders, wanting to know why Yin Xu looked like that just after drinking a glass of wine and eating a piece of osmanthus cake.
As pots of sweet-scented osmanthus wine are served to the wine table, the aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus in the entire winery becomes even more intense. Really good wine never needs any publicity. After those old drunkards took the first sip, they were immediately ecstatic and felt like they had found a treasure. After drinking, they walked out of the restaurant happily, obviously showing off to their drinking buddies. Yin Xuetong could imagine how lively the Lili House would be tomorrow.
"It tastes good, I want to drink it again!"
Yin Xu shouted with a red face, obviously forgetting his identity. Yin Xuetong shook his head and quickly asked someone to help him down. He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly. Seeing that this kid had successfully opened up the Liliju situation during this trip, he didn't blame him for drinking indiscriminately.
"The sweet-scented osmanthus brew alone is enough to make Linliju famous in Qinghe City. But the dishes are a bit monotonous. I wonder if Mr. Li has other ideas."
The lantern festival is very lively at night. The faint scent of osmanthus can be smelled from the streets close to Linliju. More and more people are following the smell, which makes the vendors on the street smile with joy.
Su Li stood on the top of the building, looking at the lively scene downstairs, with a smile flashing across his calm face.
Yin Xuetong's abilities are pretty good, so she doesn't have to worry about her daily routine, which is an unexpected surprise. only…
Her eyes looked towards the south of Qinghe City. In a few days, some caring people should make some moves.
On the second day, due to word of mouth among the wine drinkers, the number of people who came to try the wine at Linliju was indeed more than double that of yesterday. The waiters kept waiting, and soon even the second floor of the winery was full. .
The drinkers who came yesterday saw the sign on the wall and their expressions changed slightly. They seem to have forgotten something very important.
"Osmanthus stuffed with osmanthus, 10 taels/pot."
"Osmanthus cake, 5 taels/plate."
Yes, the shopkeeper said yesterday that drinks would be sold at a 100% discount on the first day of opening. Today... the prices have been restored to the original price!
"What are you doing? Lao Li, ten taels per pot? That's enough for me to drink ten bottles of green bamboo brew at Laifu Inn!"
"Lao Li, I came here after listening to your bragging. I didn't expect you to trick me!"
"Tell me! How much did you charge this winery?"
"We treat you as a friend, but you treat us like this?"
For a time, there were constant cries of defiance in the building, and many people like Lao Li looked extremely ugly. Anyone with good intentions who brought friends to share good things and was misunderstood would definitely not be in a good mood.
But the more this happens, the more Lao Li wants to prove that he is right!
"Are you kidding? I, Lao Li, am that kind of person?" Lao Li looked angry and waved his hand: "Xiao Er, bring three pots of osmanthus brew! Today I am going to show you what is real Liquor! The Qingzhu Niang from Laifu Inn is just bullshit. Compared with the Osmanthus Niang from Linliju, it can’t even be called wine!”
Seeing the furious look on their old friend's face that didn't look like he was faking it, many of the drinking buddies who were about to leave suddenly stopped in their tracks, turned around and sat down again.
"Okay! Lao Li, I'll try the osmanthus brew you mentioned and how magical it is, so much so that you admire it so much!"
As early as in the past, Hei Dan and the others brewed a large amount of sweet-scented osmanthus wine. After the original brew was diluted, it could be served directly to the wine table very quickly. Before Lao Li and others had waited long, the waiter brought three jugs of steaming wine and placed them on the table, along with a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
Lao Li looked stunned and said hurriedly: "Wait a minute, I didn't order the sweet-scented osmanthus cake."
The waiter immediately laughed and said: "Our master said that I am a wine lover, so this plate of osmanthus cake is a bonus."
When Lao Li heard this, his eyes suddenly became wet. Looking at the plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, he felt like he was about to cry, "Thank you, the shopkeeper, for me."
The waiter didn't correct the difference between "shopkeeper" and "master" after hearing this. He just nodded and left.
Su Li stood on the top floor watching this scene with a meaningful smile.
When a person is suspected and denied, even if you give him a small favor, he will remember it deeply and immediately make the person who gave the gift a close friend.
Sure enough, the human heart is so fragile.
The power of wine has no upper limit for wine lovers. When a group of old drunkards drank sweet-scented osmanthus wine, the scene from yesterday was immediately repeated and even crazier.
"Lao Li, I was wrong!"
"This wine can only be found in heaven, how many times can you smell it in the human world!"
"Old Li, you are hurting me! I drank the sweet-scented osmanthus brew, and when I think about the green bamboo brew, I can't even drink it!"
“For such a sweet and powerful wine, ten taels of silver for a pot is really not expensive at all!”
"Ah! Linliju, I want to live here!"
"I still like the spicy taste. I hope Linliju will release new wine soon!"
"Boy, please pack up two more plates of sweet-scented osmanthus cake. I want to take them back for my wife to try!"
“…”
For a time, the restaurant received constant praise and set off a buying frenzy. In just half a day, hundreds of pots of sweet-scented osmanthus brew and thousands of plates of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes were sold. Frightened, Yin Xuetong quickly announced that there was insufficient inventory today and would reopen the store tomorrow.
Although the winery has sufficient inventory, and dried osmanthus was collected in several warehouses last fall, it cannot withstand such crazy buying. Moreover, she also knew that there must be speculators hidden among the customers, otherwise no matter how good the reputation of the clothes was, they would not be able to sell so much in just one day.
"However, I'd better tell Su Li about this matter."
With this thought in mind, Yin Xuetong went to the attic on the top floor. Before she could knock on the door, she heard a voice coming from inside.
"I already know the specifics. From now on, the sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed rice and sweet-scented osmanthus cake will be limited, and you are not allowed to buy them in large quantities. The specific quantity is up to you."
Yin Xuetong was startled, and immediately her scalp became slightly numb. It turned out that she had long seen the current situation of the winery, but she had never said it clearly. If she doesn't come today, will the shopkeeper have to be replaced tomorrow
"Yes, I understand."
Yin Xuetong didn't open the door, she said something obediently outside the door and turned to go downstairs. At the same time, I secretly decided to do better than before.
That night in the underground secret room, Qu Qingning, Yin Xuetong, Fang Yuan, and Fang Mu gathered together.
"Xue Tong, please tell me how much money the winery has made in the past few days!"
Qu Qingning's eyes shone like a miser. Yin Xuetong rolled her eyes at him and said slowly: "The sweet-scented osmanthus brew we are selling now is diluted a hundred times, with a net profit of nine taels per pot, while the profit of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake is lower, about three taels per plate. Today we sold more than 500 pots of sweet-scented osmanthus brew and more than 1,200 plates of sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Excluding the odds and ends, Linli House earned at least 8,000 taels!"
At this point, Yin Xuetong couldn't help but take a deep breath. The profits from Osmanthus Brewing were too terrible!
Moreover, wine is not like food. Even if you drink it all the time, you will not get tired of it. People who like drinking even need to make some small wine to taste it every day to feel happy. It is not like food, if you eat it every day, you will definitely get tired of it one day.
So, as soon as Linliju opened its doors, it became a cash cow with a daily income of eight thousand taels
Fang Mu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he couldn't help drooling. It turns out that the eldest brother has hugged such a thigh. No wonder his cultivation level has skyrocketed. He has reached the acquired eighth level in less than half a year, which is much faster than in the family. .
Fang Yuan and Qu Qingning had a mediocre reaction. They had already seen Su Li's ability to make money, so they couldn't be surprised at this small amount of money. You must know that Su Li had blackmailed 400,000 taels of silver from Su Huanli without spending a penny, and that was how he founded Linliju. Compared with that, earning eight thousand taels a day is nothing.
"Why is Su Li so smart? Not only does he cook delicious food, but he is also so good at making wine."
Qu Qingning chuckled and couldn't help but pat Fang Yuan on the back, "In this case, we two won't suffer at all by following her."
Fang Yuan rolled his eyes, while Yin Xuetong and Fang Mu were both confused.
What's the disadvantage? What riddle are the two of them playing
…
But at this moment, in the south city of Qinghe City, in the study of a magnificent mansion.
"Master, many of the restaurants you are looking for have already agreed to transfer them."
The middle-aged man who looked like a butler bowed his knees and said respectfully. At the desk in front of him, a handsome young man wearing golden clothes and a stern face was staring at the ancient book in his hand for a moment. Looking at the back of his hand, it could be vaguely seen that it was a skill map.
After hearing the butler's words, the young man snorted softly and said slowly: "Tell me what restaurants there are."
The housekeeper quickly replied: "There are three in total. One is the Laifu Inn in the center of the city. The owner of this inn has no background, so naturally he does not dare to offend the young master. The other two are the Yuelai Inn in the east of the city and the Huaman Inn in the west of the city. Both of these are old inns that have been in business for many years. Their locations are a bit off, but they are both good places with a steady flow of people.”
The young man nodded slightly when he heard this, and seemed quite satisfied. He raised his head and asked, "Then... how is the income of the inn?"
"The Laifu Inn is the highest! It can earn 3,000 liang every day." The butler answered fluently, "And the other two hotels have 2,500 liang and 2,700 liang respectively."
The young man frowned slightly, put down the scroll in his hand, stood up slowly, and said with cold eyes: "You have been searching for so long, and you found three garbage companies for me?!"
The housekeeper was immediately horrified and knelt down with a plop, "Master! I have tried my best. The other restaurants and inns are either from wealthy families like ours or have the support of high-ranking officials. I really can't afford to offend you!"
The young man sneered, "I made a promise to my father. Since I want to make achievements in business, I can't do it in a small way. The three inns you mentioned can't even earn five thousand taels a day. How can they be worthy of me?" identity?"
The butler's expression turned bitter, remembering the young master's usual torture methods. His hands and feet were trembling. Suddenly, he suddenly thought of something and said loudly: "Master! Master! I thought of it! There is also a winery. This winery just opened today. It is initially estimated that the daily income can be 7,000 taels." .And whether it’s the decoration or the wine, they are all of the best quality, absolutely in line with the young master’s status!”
