Chapter 64 The eldest sister in the desert 8
Ye Huan was afraid that Erlan would come looking for trouble, so he specially reminded the little Er in the restaurant to pay special attention to the people of the Hu family.
For the next month, Ye Huan has been busy with the warehouse.
The newly purchased warehouse is very large. The previous vegetable field, Ye Huan, was completely leveled, and a wooden shed was built, and a stove was built under it, which was used for steaming glutinous rice and making shochu.
When the warehouse was cleaned up, Ye Huan also signed orders with several restaurants in the city, and began to deliver wine to them during the Chinese New Year.
Because it was the first time to work together, Ye Huan was very careful, from the selection of glutinous rice to the winemaking process, she personally checked every process.
She breathed a sigh of relief after the wine jar was sealed.
A month later, when it was time to deliver the wine, several restaurants that originally wanted to buy wine suddenly regretted it, and would rather pay the deposit than ask for Ye Huan's wine.
After some inquiries, I found out that the three restaurants had ordered drinks with the Hu family.
In the evening, in the main hall, Ye Huan's family sat around the table.
"The Hu family never sells wine, why is there suddenly so much wine being sold to restaurants?" Yan Youde felt anxious when he thought that the wine could not be sold, "We hoarded so much wine and spent the family's money to buy warehouses. We also asked someone to help. If the wine can't be sold, our hard work in the past will be in vain!"
Ye Huan guessed what was going on when he heard that the Hu family was doing something.
She analyzed, "We stocked up 400 jars of wine, which we originally sold and sent to the restaurant, just enough to be sold out in December and January. To meet the orders of the three restaurants, the Hu family must prepare early. But the Hu family never sells wine, and suddenly they want so much wine, they don't even have that many wine jars."
Turning to look at Yan Zhi, "Go and check, where did the Hu family's wine come from."
The next day Yan Zhi went to investigate, while Ye Huan stayed at home, wondering if there was a new way out.
Her family's wine is not suitable for long-term storage. If it is stored for a long time, it will affect the quality of the wine. It must be sold during the New Year.
Other restaurants in the city have already ordered other wines, and even if there is demand, it will not be too much.
In their restaurant, even if the business is full every day, it is not bad to sell three cylinders in one day, and in two months, they can't sell it all.
Still need other guests.
There is a canal on the north side of Wuzhou City, and there are many people going from south to north to do business.
Ye Huan planned to go to the pier to try his luck.
Thinking of this, she immediately set off for the pier. But when she got to the pier, she found that there were very few boats after the winter, not to mention the sale of wine, and there were not many fishing.
Ye Huan went home dejected, and Yan Zhi also came back.
Yan Zhi said that it was clear that the wine of the Hu family was shipped from a winery outside the country. The winery had no signboard, but it sent 200 cylinders of wine to the Hu family at one time.
Ye Huan felt strange when he heard this. The winery that can deliver 200 jars of wine at a time must have a certain scale, but the other party doesn't even have a signboard.
She found someone to go to the restaurant to buy wine, and just after tasting a glass, she vomited on the ground.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Yan Zhi also tasted a cup, but didn't taste anything strange.
Ye Huan tasted it in one sip, "It's wine mixed with water and added with spices to enhance the flavor. Most people can't drink it, but the shopkeepers of the three restaurants must be able to drink it. They also choose the wine from the Hu family. , it means that the Hu family offered a low price."
The lower the price, the greater the profit and the temptation.
After not thinking much, Ye Huan knew that Erlan was deliberately attacking them.
Within two days, Ye Huan saw Erlan.
Erlan took the initiative to look for it and saw Ye Huan steaming glutinous rice, she couldn't help laughing, "Now you can't even sell the wine you've hoarded, but you still make wine, eldest sister, are you out of your mind?"
Ye Huan stopped what he was doing and looked at Erlan, "What are you doing here?"
"Of course I'm here to buy wine." Erlan wanted to enter the warehouse, but was stopped by Ye Huan, "It's all my sisters, listen. Said that your wine could not be sold, so I thought of helping you. One tael of silver and two cylinders of wine, how about you sell all the stock to me?"
"Erlan, are you dreaming?" Ye Huan laughed "The best one is drunk, and it costs five taels per tank. I won't sell it to you, so you should go back." Erlan refused to leave. She took a step forward and wanted to grab Ye Huan's clothes. Ye Huan was grabbed by the wrist, "Sister, why are you so persistent? I've heard that your wine won't be worth much if you don't sell it. Can you keep dragging it on? " Your business." Ye Huan pushed Erlan away. Seeing Yan Zhi coming, Erlan fell to the ground and cried, "Eldest sister, you...how can you hit me, I'm here to help you, why are you doing this? Woo, I'm not good... ah Yan Zhi didn't listen to Erlan 's nonsense, he poured a bucket of cold water over it and pointed in the direction of the gate, "Get out of here, we don't welcome you here, if you don't go by yourself, I'll drag you out! " In the winter, a bucket of cold water was poured on her body, and Erlan's teeth were shaking from the cold. She stood up tremblingly, glared at Yan Zhi and said, "Yan Zhi, you don't regret it in the future!" "You don't regret it!" Yan Zhi said bluntly, "Don't think that no one knows what you do, one day you will There is retribution!" Erlan walked away in embarrassment, Ye Huan silently applauded Yan Zhi in his heart. Yan Zhi was still very angry, "Who is she, she really thinks of herself as a queen, how can everything go smoothly." "Don't be angry, it's not worth being angry with her, did you find the person I asked you to find?" Ye Huan asked. "I found them. They are all drunkards. I told them that the three restaurants have a new kind of good wine. When they go to buy it, they will definitely make trouble." Yan Zhi said.
Ye Huan thought about it, but he couldn't find any other sales in a short time, so he still had to start from those three restaurants, at least to get through this year's difficulties.
So she asked Yan Zhi to guide a few alcoholics to buy wine. After the restaurant was exposed to be sold with water, the people in the restaurant would definitely panic. At that time, not only Erlan, but also the stewards of the three restaurants would have to follow suit. .
Others were unkind, so Ye Huan had no choice but to take action.
Two days later, when Ye Huan was selling wine in the restaurant, he heard the news that Lai Zi was making trouble at the entrance of those restaurants.
After the alcoholics are drunk, they are not afraid of the sky and the earth, and it is useless to reason with them.
Yan Zhi hid in the dark and watched.
The two people he found kept rolling around at the door of the restaurant, saying that the restaurant was selling fake wine to them. No matter what the people in the restaurant said or how they tried to persuade them, they refused to leave, and the crowd soon gathered around.
In the restaurant, there are also other people who come to drink often. They only thought it was a little strange. After tasting it again and again, they realized that something was wrong, and they began to ask the steward to quit the wine.
Within a day, the news of the restaurant selling fake wine spread, and the next day, the number of customers dropped by half.
The end of the year was the busiest time, but seeing the business in the restaurant was deserted, shopkeeper Wang sighed with regret.
At the beginning, he also tasted a little problem with the wine, but the taste is mellow, and ordinary people can't taste it. When people are drunk, all wines are the same. In addition, the price given by the Hu family was half of that of the Yan family, and the shopkeeper Wang was blinded by the lard. Forget it, even if he broke the contract with the Yan family, he could still earn several hundred taels more, so he simply broke the contract.
As a result, I didn't expect that the wine that was sold for a few days was seen through.
And those two rascals come to make trouble every day. If they give money today, they won't make trouble today, but they will continue to come tomorrow.
One to two to go, the restaurant's business is even worse.
"The shopkeeper, the Hu family has brought wine." Xiao Er came in and said.
"Send the wine, they are too embarrassed to bring it? I don't want it!" Shopkeeper Wang scolded, "It was clear that no one could taste it, but the result was good, and the reputation of our restaurant was lost."
Xiao Erwei , "But we paid for it. If we don't want wine, where can we buy wine and sell it?"
Shopkeeper Wang lowered his eyebrows and thought about it. .
But when they got to Hu's house, they didn't see Erlan. The Hu family's steward said that it was impossible to refund the money, and there was no good thing for cheap.
Shopkeeper Wang was so angry that he immediately took action, but the Hu family was so powerful that he beat a few of them out instead.
No money, no business, and a beating.
Shopkeeper Wang regretted it.
However, the business of Ye Huan's restaurant was full.
Many restaurant customers came to her to buy wine. If the restaurant was not too small to accommodate so many people, Ye Huan's business would have been even better.
But selling alcohol alone can double the profit.
That evening, when Ye Huan was about to close the door, he saw Shopkeeper Wang bowing his head.
"Boss Yan, how are you." Shopkeeper Wang said with a smile.
"Hello, shopkeeper Wang is a rare guest, why are you free to come to me today?" Ye Huan asked shopkeeper Wang to sit in the shop and poured tea for shopkeeper Wang.
After Mr. Wang sat down, he slapped himself first, "Manager Yan, we were temporarily blinded by money and betrayed our promise. On behalf of the three restaurants, I apologize to you."
Ye Huan had expected someone to come. , smiled and said, "Treasurer Wang is serious. In doing business, he always pays attention to your love and my wishes. You have your reasons for refunding orders, and I don't blame you."
"No, you can blame us." Shopkeeper Wang said with a sullen face, "Don't you know that the Hu family has done us a lot of harm, and they even sold us wine with water. Now our restaurant has lost its credibility. , the business is not as good as before, and it will soon be unsustainable."
"Wang shopkeeper didn't know there was a problem with the wine before?" Ye Huan asked suspiciously.
Shopkeeper Wang shook his head and said he didn't know.
Ye Huan didn't believe that shopkeeper Wang didn't know, and he wasn't a newcomer to the business. Shopkeeper Wang was over forty years old and had been running a restaurant for nearly 20 years. It was impossible not to know that there was a problem with the wine.
But this time, Ye Huan pretended to believe the shopkeeper Wang, "If that's the case, what are you doing with me?"
"I...I want to say, can you sell us the wine according to the previous order, so that we can continue Open the door to do business and restore your credibility." Shopkeeper Wang pleaded.
Ye Huan paused, wondering, "But these days, our restaurant has been doing very well, and if we sell it to you, I'm afraid I won't be enough."
"Manager Yan, we still know this, your restaurant is not big. , the door is open from morning to night, and the sales are limited." Shopkeeper Wang said, "We were wrong in the previous matter, and this time we promise not to go back on it."
Ye Huan asked, "Then how is Shopkeeper Wang going to deal?"
"Just It is done according to the previous deposit, as much as I ordered before, and now I will have it." The shopkeeper Wang.
Ye Huan nodded and said yes, "But you need to pay the deposit again. The deposit for the last time is a matter of the last time."
As soon as these words came out, the face of shopkeeper Wang froze, but he thought that he was wrong, in order to save the restaurant, Still gritted his teeth and agreed.
In other words, Ye Huan's wine was not only sold, but also earned an extra deposit.
After sending away shopkeeper Wang, Ye Huan arranged for someone to deliver the wine.
After Yan Zhi came back, he was a little puzzled why Ye Huan still sold the wine to shopkeeper Wang who had breached the contract.
Ye Huan dragged Yan Zhi to a place where no one was there. "We sell our wine by ourselves. Although we can make money back, it is difficult to make money. There must be a sales outlet for the wine, so we sell the wine to them." Although Erlan earned a sum of money from Shopkeeper Wang and the others, because of this, she was ostracized by the noble lady circle in Wuzhou City. Before, many people didn't think she was a concubine, but now her reputation for being black-hearted has spread, and good people are reluctant to associate with her. Not only could the restaurant not be able to go to the restaurant, but there were even four people who couldn't get together for a horse hanger.
"Of course, I also have other plans."
Ye Huan had been planning to sell a restaurant, but the money was not enough. After selling the wine, he could borrow a sum of money from the bank to buy the restaurant.
Ye Huan and Yan Zhi shared their thoughts, "When I get the final payment tomorrow, I will buy the restaurant near Shopkeeper Wang and decorate it quietly. When the spring of next year begins, our wine will be served in the restaurant in the city. After I sold my fame, I cut off their wine and opened my own restaurant to attract their customers."
Ye Huan's business has always been honest with others, and she is also honest. But if others have cheated on her, don't expect her to let go.
Yan Zhi was dumbfounded and uncertain, "Is this really okay?"
"Just wait for next year to live in a new house!" Ye Huan said with a smile.
The next day, Ye Huan went to Pan Restaurant after receiving the liquor money from the three shopkeeper Wang.
The location of the restaurant is in the downtown area. The place is as spacious as the eight previous restaurants. The price is naturally not cheap. It cost her 8,000 taels of silver, half of which was borrowed from the bank.
After buying the restaurant, Ye Huan asked someone to clean up the restaurant in someone else's name.
But the shopkeeper Wang and the others, relying on the wine Ye Huan sold to them, slowly recovered some of their reputations. After tasting a drink, everyone praised that the wine was different this time.
From December to January, although the income of shopkeeper Wang and the others was not as good as in previous years, it was not bad.
However, they also hated the Hu family because of this, and they refused to accept the Hu family whenever they came to the restaurant.
Because of the propaganda from Shopkeeper Wang and the others, all restaurants in Wuzhou City knew that Erlan had done something inauthentic, and no restaurant was willing to earn their money.
Erlan has been turned away by those restaurants several times, and her reputation in Wuzhou City has gradually become stinky.
When Erlan was depressed, Ye Huan's "Yipin Lou" restaurant opened on the sixth day of February.
Originally, everyone only knew that Yipin Zui was the name of a kind of wine, and many people didn't know that Yipin Zui came from the Yan family, but after the sign of Ye Huan was hung up, most of the people who had drunk Yipin Zui would be curious to inquire about Yipin Zui. Does it have anything to do with "Yipin Building"?
When everyone asked, they found that this is the restaurant that brews a pint of drunk, and they are willing to come in and try.
After they entered the restaurant, they discovered that there were more than 20 kinds of wine in the "Yipin Building", and each type of wine had its own merits.
In addition to the dishes in the restaurant, many of them have never eaten before.
For a time, "Yipin Lou" became popular in Wuzhou City, and the business was full every day.
