Chapter 292 Buying wine
On April 21st, the coolness in Yancheng had faded away, and the clothes of the people were getting thinner and thinner.
No longer as bulky as before.
Zuitingxuan is now destitute due to Qiaozi's incident, while the business of Hongfulou and Sanweiju has gradually improved.
"Sister Nanzhi." Nanzhi was looking at Uncle Heping's account book when Shen Miaomiao suddenly came over with a serious look on her face.
"Miaomiao, didn't you order some wine?" Nanzhi was a little surprised when he saw Shen Miaomiao. Now that the weather is hot, his skewers business has improved a lot, and the wine is getting less and less every day.
Today it looked like there were only the last three jars left, so I asked Miaomiao to order the wine. Why did she come back so soon.
"Sister Nanzhi, that restaurant no longer sells wine to us." Shen Miaomiao had a rare anger on her face when she spoke.
"Uncle Ping, you look at it first." Nanzhi motioned to Uncle Ping to continue reading the account book, while he pulled Miaomiao into the house.
"Why is this?" Nanzhi asked, frowning.
Although the Xu family was reluctant to sell wine to them at first, they signed the deed later. How come they suddenly turned against each other in just over a month?
"I don't know either. I went to sell wine with Aze just now, but the Xu family didn't even let us in the yard. They only said that they would not sell us wine anymore." After saying that, Shen Miaomiao seemed to think of something again. He took out a deed and two taels of silver from his pocket.
"They threw this out of the yard. They said they would give us two taels of silver as compensation and the deed would be invalid."
Looking at the deed and the two taels of silver handed over, Nanzhi's fists clenched tighter.
The price of a jar of wine was only six hundred silver, so how could they suddenly be willing to give two taels of silver to destroy the deed?
"Sister Nanzhi, we have three jars of wine left. It's hot now, and there are more people eating and drinking at night. I'm afraid these three jars of wine won't last a few days."
Shen Miaomiao was also a little anxious.
At first, because the Xu family was unwilling to sell wine to them, they looked for other restaurants.
But in the end, after much competition, only the Xu family's wine was the best.
If the wine is changed suddenly, the guests will not be happy either.
"Miaomiao, don't worry, let's think of a solution later." Nanzhi patted the little girl's shoulder comfortingly, but she felt like she was on fire.
The biggest fear in doing business is that things suddenly change. If the things are better and the price remains the same, then it can still be justified.
If it gets worse, we won’t be able to retain people.
It was sunny for three days in a row, and some guests even stayed until midnight before leaving with their friends.
As a result, the only thing left in the restaurant was the last jar of wine.
Nanzhi and Shen Miaomiao also went to Xu's house in the past three days, but no matter what they said, they were unwilling to sell them wine.
Even if Nanzhi increased the price to 700 yuan, they would stay behind closed doors.
"Old man of the Xu family, why on earth didn't you sell wine to us at Sanweiju? We clearly signed the contract back then!"
When the old man from the Xu family heard what Nanzhi said, he even started scolding him in the yard: "I told you not to sell wine to you women, it's bad luck! I've already given you the two taels of silver for those who don't have the deed or not." ! The two women were not at home caring for their husbands and raising children, but they ran out to do Lao Shizi’s business! Bah!
If I hadn't sold the wine to you, so many bad things wouldn't have happened to my family!
Get away from me! If you don't annoy me for a while, I'll splash you with dirty water! "
As soon as the old man of the Xu family finished speaking, the surrounding neighbors also looked at Nanzhi and Shen Miaomiao with doubt.
After being scolded like this, Nanzhi and Shen Miaomiao looked unhappy, but from what they heard, they guessed that something had happened to the Xu family.
Only then did Mr. Xu blame everything on the two of them.
Aze had never heard such unpleasant words. Seeing that the two bosses were being looked at, he was about to go up, but was stopped by Shen Miaomiao.
Aze was a little puzzled, but Shen Miaomiao had already straightened her expression and just shook her head at him.
Nanzhi walked to an aunt on the side to inquire about the news.
"Auntie, I want to ask you about the Xu family." Nanzhi looked a little embarrassed. Seeing that she was not very old, the aunt just nodded a little softly.
This Xu family has a weird temperament, and these two little girls were scolded for no reason, which is really pitiful.
"There are only two husband and wife in the Xu family and that Du Miaomiao. I heard that the free-spirited Du Miaomiao was beaten up two days ago, so I suddenly turned my anger on you." The aunt shook her head, Then he said: "This old man Xu is very talkative. When he started doing business, he never sold wine to women. Even if the head of our family wants to drink, he has to ask the male child in the family to get wine. I guess he thinks that selling wine I broke the rules for you, so I fell out."
"That's it, thank you so much, ma'am." Nanzhi smiled a little reluctantly, just said thank you and then followed Shen Miaomiao and Aze to drive away in the mule cart.
After turning a corner, the expression on Nanzhi's face relaxed.
"Sister Nanzhi, what should we do now?"
"Since he doesn't sell wine to women, let's let the men buy it. Let's hold on like this first and then look for other restaurants."
Nanzhi sighed, this method can last for a month at most, but after one month, where will they find wine?
I just hate that she doesn't know how to make wine.
After returning to Sanweiju, Aze went to return the mule cart, and Nanzhi went to find Liu Da to inquire.
After all, Liu Da and Wang Sheng were locals in Yancheng, and they both worked as waiters in restaurants, so they might know where to find good restaurants.
"Boss, I really don't know about this. I just work as an errand boy in Zuitingxuan. The purchasing is usually done by Manager Peng, and the wines in Zuitingxuan are all specially supplied by the winery. We really don't know. You can buy it.”
Liu Da scratched his head and said a little embarrassed.
After all, Zuitingxuan has been in Yancheng for so many years. Although their Sanweiju looks good, it cannot be compared to it.
"That's it." Nanzhi said a little disappointed, and then looked at Wang Sheng aside: "Wang Sheng, you are older, do you know where I can get better wine?"
Wang Sheng did not deny it immediately. This Xu family wine was always used by Baiweizhai, and it was not like he had never heard of other good wines.
"Boss, we do have good wine, but it has been many years. When I was young, I heard my father say that there was an aunt selling wine in Niuniu Village outside the city, and the wine made by that aunt was fragrant. It tastes good, but after all these years, I don’t know if it’s still there.”
After all, I haven't seen my father go to that village to buy wine for so many years. Maybe he has stopped this business long ago.
"Niuniu Village?" Nanzhi felt familiar when she heard the name, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before.
It was Shen Miaomiao who spoke up: "Sister Nanzhi, when Xu Chou returned to the village to take care of his mother's affairs, he returned to Niuniu Village!"
