Chapter 347 Cheng Yi, happy birthday!
The next day, Shen Xiangwan personally led the servants to put the finished linings into the bamboo boxes one by one. When the first batch of fired glass wine glasses arrived, they divided into two groups, one group was responsible for installing the linings and the other group was responsible for installing the wine glasses. The finished products were all sent to the winery one after another. Therefore, three days later, Wei's Winery began to officially sell wine.
When they first learned that a two-jin bottle of wine would be sold for a hundred taels of silver, everyone was shocked and thought they were crazy. But when Cheng Yusheng took out a crystal clear wine glass and said that it was a gift for buying wine, everyone fell silent, and the wealthy families who received the news sent people to come.
Just as they expected, there were indeed people who wanted to hoard large quantities and collect the wine glasses individually to sell for money. Cheng Yusheng only said lightly that the word "gift" was printed on the bottom of the glass, and after showing it to the buyers, those people almost burst into tears on the spot, and secretly cursed the Wei family for being so immoral that they could even think of such a shameless operation.
However, even as a gift, the glass wine cup still has collection value, and many wealthy families choose to buy it. They not only collect it themselves, but also give it to others as gifts. Needless to say, even though the price is as high as one hundred taels of silver, the wine from Wei's Winery is still selling like hot cakes, and the sales are getting worse and worse, because people who have drunk the wine gradually discovered that it really seems to have the miraculous effect of calming down and promoting sleep, as well as beautifying the skin.
"Ma'am, the remaining wine and glasses have all been sent to the winery."
Ten days later, Yuan Yue strode into the main hall. The wine sold better than they expected. She had just delivered the remaining one thousand bottles to the winery in person. This was under the premise that Cheng Yusheng withheld the sales, otherwise they would have been sold out long ago. It was said that some people even came from the provincial capital to buy it, not to mention the wealthy families in other counties. Now, if a wealthy family has never tasted wine, others will look down on it from the bottom of their hearts.
"Well, hard work."
Shen Xiangwan personally poured her a cup of warm tea. It was the end of March and the weather was getting warmer. They took off their warm down jackets and started to wear light clothes. Yuanyue went out for a run and was so hot that her face was covered with sweat.
"Thank you ma'am."
Yuan Yue took the tea and drank it all in one gulp: "Madam, are we really not going to make wine anymore? Didn't you see that there is a long queue outside the winery? It's all servants from every household queuing up to buy wine. They buy at least five bottles at a time. It's really too arrogant!"
In her impression, border cities should all be very poor. She didn't expect there were so many rich people there. One hundred taels of silver for a bottle. Those people were really willing to spend so much.
"Who said we won't do it anymore? We'll do it some other day, but we won't be selling it for now."
She made the wine just to make money, so how could she just sit there and watch and not make money?
However, in order to whet the appetites of those people completely, she planned to adopt the method of hunger marketing, temporarily out of stock for a few days, and then restock the products when those people were itching to buy them. Moreover, the quantity would be limited, so that they could buy them but could not buy them to their heart's content.
"Yes, the wine needs to ferment for more than ten days. Add in the bottling process and it will take at least twenty days to get the product."
Yuan Yue obviously didn't understand the deeper meaning of her words, and Shen Xiangwan didn't want to explain. Last time, she brewed tens of thousands of kilograms of wine, and there was still a lot stored in the cellar. If she really wanted to sell it, she would have time to bottle it immediately, and there was no problem of wasting time on fermentation.
"By the way, Master's wife, isn't Cheng Yi's birthday coming up in a few days?"
No longer continuing that topic, Shen Xiangwan turned around and asked, if I remember correctly, April 7th is Wei Chengyi's birthday. Today is the end of March. Although he has not come back until now, after arriving in the East Territory, he would go back to the space to rest almost every night, so they were not separated.
"Well, are you going to prepare a gift for Cheng Yi?"
Yun Mengyi nodded and asked with a little curiosity. She was already eight months pregnant. Her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and the old man was getting more and more nervous. He was almost going crazy.
“Yeah, I have that idea.”
Shen Xiangwan curled her lips and smiled. There were still several days left. She had to think carefully about what gift would be most suitable for Wei Chengyi. "Oh?"
Raising her eyebrows, Yun Mengyi looked at her meaningfully. Why was she a little curious?
Everyone in the room pricked up their ears quietly, wanting to know what gift she was going to give Wei Chengyi, but Shen Xiangwan just smiled mischievously: "I have to think about it carefully, I have to give him a surprise!"
"Are you sure it's a surprise, not a shock?"
Not hearing the answer she wanted to hear, Yue Ruyan complained reflexively.
"No matter whether it's a surprise or a shock, you won't have the chance to know it anyway."
Little guy, do you really think she doesn’t know that she is deliberately provoking him?
Shen Xiangwan stood up and stretched as he spoke: "I'm going back to my room to do research, you guys can chat slowly."
"Ah."
Yun Mengyi nodded with a smile. No matter what gift she would give, it was just the interest between the couple, and she didn't really have to know.
“What kind of research is she doing?”
Watching her back disappear from her sight, Yue Ruyan murmured in confusion. Recently, whenever she had nothing to do, she would hide in her room every night to do research. Except for meal times, she seldom saw her. The same was true for Mu Yunran. They had already extracted and produced the penicillin, and were producing it in large quantities. They were so busy that they were nowhere to be seen all day long.
The last thousand bottles of wine delivered by Yuanyue were sold out in less than half an hour. Knowing that they were temporarily out of stock and uncertain when they would have more, those who did not buy any or bought less could not help but wail. They all asked Cheng Yusheng to urge the Wei family to make more wine as soon as possible. At the same time, they also believed that the wine brewing process was extremely complicated, otherwise how could they not make any money?
As the calendar entered April, Wei Chengyi finally returned with Yuan Shu and the others, and they were brought back through space and asked Shen Xiangwan to pick them up.
"Chengyi, happy birthday!"
On the seventh day of April, Wei Chengyi's birthday, Shen Xiangwan opened his eyes early. Without saying a word, he turned over and pressed on Wei Chengyi and slapped him hard, smiling like a cat that had successfully stolen some fish.
"It feels good to be so naughty, doesn't it?"
He flicked her forehead unhappily with his fingers, then Wei Chengyi held her and sat up. The next second, they were already in the bathroom. "Do you want to wash yourself or do you want me to help you?"
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but free his hands and patted her on the butt a few times, his face and eyes full of deep doting.
"How about I help you wash up today?"
Jumping off him, Shen Xiangwan raised her hands and hooked them around his neck, then winked at him mischievously after she finished speaking.
