NOVEL NEXT Chapter 58 Self-defeating
The Gao family and their daughter once again took the myrtle wine they had brewed, delivered the goods to the shopkeeper of Qingxiang Tower as agreed, and received the remaining fifteen taels of silver.
Shopkeeper Hu felt that he had made a profit. Recently, by selling this myrtle wine, Qingxianglou had many more customers than before. He also took a bite of Shuxiang's Liuxiang snacks and said that the environment in her store was not as good as Qingxianglou. , but the Cabernet Sauvignon he sells is more expensive than his Myrtle wine.
The rumor quickly spread to Liuxiang Snack Shop.
Lou Lan'er felt unhappy, so she took the time to go to Qingxiang Tower to inquire about it.
"Ah Shao, I went to find out. Your second aunt and her daughter sold the myrtle wine to Qingxiang House! The shopkeeper Hu from Qingxiang House also told people everywhere that the wine in our store is more expensive than his. No. It’s a good deal and has attracted some of our regular customers to his store.”
"It's a mule or a horse, just take it out and walk it!"
Mao Xi is not afraid. Qingxianglou has myrtle wine, and so does she. She also gave her own myrtle wine a rather nice name: Zixia Niang.
The brewing period of Liuxiang Snacks' Myrtle wine is longer than that of Gao's. Originally, she made this wine because her second aunt and her wife climbed up the wall of her house to peek at her making wine. She didn't expect her aunt and her daughter to make myrtle wine. I learned the recipe for Niangjiu and sold it in the market in advance.
Not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing goods.
In Mao Xi's Liuxiang snack shop, anyone who drinks her Zixia wine can clearly feel that it tastes sweeter than Qingxianglou's.
So diners slowly returned to Liuxiang snacks.
Shopkeeper Hu was also a little annoyed and directly lowered the price of myrtle wine.
But God is not as good as God. Shopkeeper Hu did not do a good job in controlling the quality of the wine. One tank of the wine sent by the Gao family and her daughter was not brewed properly, which upset several customers and ruined their own wine. The restaurant's sign.
As for the Gao mother and daughter, as soon as they received the final payment, they bought all the rice wine and shipped it to their home, preparing to order another season of Myrtle wine from Qingxiang House.
When shopkeeper Hu saw the two of them, he became very angry.
"No more, no more! You said you have the ancestral secret recipe of the Liu family's glutinous rice wine. I'm afraid you're not trying to trick me. Leave now, leave now!" Boss Hu issued an eviction order.
"Why don't you order it, shopkeeper Hu? Isn't this wine selling very well?" Mrs. Gao asked puzzledly and tried her best to redeem her.
Daughter Yuying looked around at the diners in the restaurant and found that no one drank the myrtle wine.
She pulled Gao's sleeve to stop her from talking: "Mom, it seems no one drinks this wine now."
"You still have the nerve to say that your Mao Xi also sells myrtle fruit wine in her store, but hers is stronger and sweeter than yours. As a result, you took away all my old customers! And that's not all. You gave me a jar of wine that has not yet been brewed, and you have eaten up my guest’s stomach! You gave me back the money for a jar of wine..."
Before Shopkeeper Hu finished speaking, Mrs. Gao quickly pulled her daughter Yuying out of Qingxiang Building and muttered: "There is no reason to refund the money. Shopkeeper Hu, we were clear of money and goods at the beginning!"
The mother and daughter walked in embarrassment on the way back to the village.
Yuying frowned: "Mom, we just spent all our money, what should we do with the wine?"
Gao had an idea, thinking that his family had been supplying food to Ruifeng Tower for a long time, and wondered if he could ask Boss Liu to give him some advice.
"When your father comes home, I'll discuss it with him. If Qingfeng Tower doesn't want it, we'll sell it to Shopkeeper Liu of Ruifeng Tower! We have to make the wine well this time and there won't be any mistakes!"
"Shopkeeper Liu in Ruifeng Tower is so smart, can she buy them all?" Yuying still didn't know that her father was secretly causing trouble for Mao Xi's new store, and he was entrusted by shopkeeper Liu.
"Why not? Let your father take action when the time comes."
When his second uncle Liu Yongde returned home, he saw that the yard was full of rice wine. He thought that his wife had negotiated a big business of selling wine. He was very happy. When his mother and daughter came back, he stepped forward and asked: "How much deposit did you receive today?" ah?"
"What's the deposit? Shopkeeper Hu doesn't want to place an order anymore. All the money I just earned has been used to buy these rice wines. Why do you think there is still a broken vat?"
"Aniang, you have clearly seen how to make wine. Is it really just a matter of drying the myrtle? Could it be that the wine is not good? Ah Xiao uses the glutinous rice wine she brewed herself, not rice wine." Yuying analyzed, hoping to recover some losses.
Mrs. Gao was a little unwilling. She had not yet taken the 20 taels of wine money she had just received from selling wine, but now she had invested it all in the rice wine in this yard.
"Master, can you talk to Shopkeeper Liu of Ruifeng Tower and see if she accepts the myrtle wine? At least it can't be left in the yard and it will be a total loss."
Liu Yongde was a little angry: "You are such a prodigal bitch. You are in a hurry to buy back the wine before you sign the sales contract with anyone!"
The next day, Liu Yongde took a can of brewed myrtle wine to the shopkeeper of Ruifenglou. Seeing that he was usually served food, Boss Liu reluctantly agreed and charged him 50 cents per liter. .
As soon as Lou Lan'er found out that the myrtle wine from Qingxiang House made people feel sick, she ran back to Liuxiang Snacks and said to Shu Xi, "Ah Shu, Qing Xiang House no longer sells myrtle wine. He bought it from you." The wine that Second Aunt brought in was not brewed properly, and it made people’s stomachs full!”
When Lu Da heard this, he was also very happy: "Let me tell you, the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley. Many of the people who come to our store to buy wine now are also regular customers of Qingxiang Building!"
"Ah Shu, you said they all use rice wine to make myrtle, why aren't theirs as good as yours?" Lou Laner asked in a low voice.
"When making wine, you have to pay attention to the right time, location, and people. They must have forgotten to worship the wine fairy before making wine! Haha~"
Mao Xi said this, but she actually knew in her heart that the degree of rice wine was only over ten degrees, which was too low. Using rice wine to soak myrtle requires three steamings and three dryings before it can be sealed in the wine. If you want to put fresh fruit directly into the brew, that’s not impossible, but it requires a high degree of liquor of more than 40 degrees.
"I was on the road just now and saw that your second aunt and her daughter were going to Qingxiang Building to sell myrtle wine, but they were driven away by shopkeeper Hu. He shouted that they should pay for the bad wine." Lou Lan'er was in the baking kiln. Playing with the barbecue, he gloated.
Mao Xi kneaded the dough for baking naan, and felt happy. The second aunt and the others had done it themselves.
"Ding!" Shu Xi's eyes lit up, and the virtual mall screen appeared again.
*** L8 ***＜Upgrade completed＞
Unlock: Eligibility to purchase kitchenware.
She browsed in the mall, oh my God! You can actually buy modern kitchen utensils, but they are a bit expensive, and some of them are so expensive that you simply can’t afford them.
Ma Xi gritted his teeth and bought a small butter machine for twenty taels of silver.
She came to the inner kitchen and entered the space to check. The creamer had been installed and placed in the open kitchen next to the refrigerator.
It turns out that the machine comes with a small kitchen, which is really worth the 20 taels spent.
With this cream maker, making cream cakes will be a piece of cake in the future!
