Chapter 289: A Surprise
Although they are here to buy ducks today, they also need wine and rice.
The wine and rice in that shop last time were pretty good, but Ji Liangqing and others guessed that there was a layer between them.
When he lamented that the price was so good before, he still had extravagant hopes. If one day he could get to know the farmers who grow wine rice, the cost price of his family's wine rice would be even lower.
But I didn't expect to meet him while I was here.
Thinking of this, Ji Liangqing suppressed the excitement in his heart and was about to ask.
But I found that there was someone who was more excited than me and reacted faster than me.
"Old man, is this a wine and rice farmer?" Wang Goudan raised his eyebrows, obviously very interested in this matter.
After hearing this, Old Man Xu turned his head and glanced at the three of them.
Except for Li Jiang, whose expression remained as silent as ever, the other two people's expressions were very excited, and they were obviously very interested in this issue.
But he still subconsciously said: "Yes, this is Old Man Xiong. His house has a wide land and is planted with wine rice. However, it is difficult to sell wine rice now, so I am really worried."
Now that the topic has reached Old Man Xiong, Old Man Xu stepped forward and opened the fence.
Old Man Xiong had not spoken to Old Man Xu for a long time, so he came in with him.
He obviously heard the question just now. At this moment, he looked at the three of them with deep meaning in his eyes and did not take the initiative to speak.
"How come wine and rice are so hard to sell?" Wang Goudan came to Jiangnan for the first time and didn't know much about Jiangnan.
But Jiangnan's business is really developed, and it stands to reason that people love wine very much. Moreover, he heard from his captain that their wine was sold to Jiangnan before, and the sales volume was very good.
How could wine rice not be sold well?
But as soon as he said these words, Old Man Xu and Old Man Xiong both looked at him very strangely, as if they thought what he said was very strange.
"The wine in Jiangnan is not easy to sell. I don't know where the pear blossom wine shipped from a few days ago is very popular. I heard it was from Lin'an County, but I'm not sure..."
"Anyway, the old wine bugs in the stomachs of us people are now completely spoiled. Now we don't even want to drink any other wine!"
When Old Man Xu said this, he looked a little regretful, as if he was still recalling the taste of the pear blossom stuffed wine at that time.
Wang Goudan is not as cunning as Ji Liangqing and others. When he heard what Old Man Xu and others said, he immediately turned to look at Ji Liangqing with a smile in his eyes.
The captain had told himself before that the wine they used to sell was called Lihua Niang.
It is clear that the wine that Mr. Xu and Mr. Xiong are obsessed with is the captain’s wine.
Ji Liangqing did not look at Wang Goudan.
He lowered his head, still thinking about things.
If what Old Man Xiong and Old Man Xu said is true, then the local brewing industry in Jiangnan is definitely not good.
If they can take over the brewing industry quickly...
Ji Liangqing is no longer a novice who has never been involved in the brewing business. He clearly knows how profitable the brewing industry can be if it tightens its grip.
What's more, they had no experience and no capital when they started making wine.
It can still be done to that extent.
The conditions now are not only ten times better than then, but at least a hundred times better.
Moreover, the people in Jiangnan are obviously much richer.
They don't need to rely on Shopkeeper Ye, they can do business on their own.
Moreover, Ji Liangqing has a very strong business acumen and he has his own plans in mind.
If winemaking can drive the development of other things, it is not certain that we will learn from Shopkeeper Ye’s restaurant and start a bundled industry in the future.
When Ji Liangqing thought of this, he had a complete plan in mind. He turned around and said to Mr. Xiong with great respect:
"Mr. Xiong, can we go see your wine and rice?"
Under Mr. Xiong's surprised eyes, Ji Liangqing had a convincing smile on his lips: "If it's suitable, I will buy these wine and rice."
Old Xiong looked at Ji Liangqing blankly, as if he hadn't reacted yet.
He really didn't react.
I just wanted to come over and see my old friend, why did the wine and rice at home suddenly find a way to go?
Of course, Old Man Xu was still very happy for him. Seeing that he had not made any move, he knew that he was stupidly happy.
Afraid of wasting time, Old Man Xu patted him: "Old Xiong, what's wrong with you? Are you so happy? Take us to have a look!"
"...Oh! Okay, okay, please come over here!" Old Xiong woke up from a dream at Old Man Xu's voice, and hurriedly took a few people with him.

Ye Mansion is also very busy at the moment.
Mr. Ye was in the study, and as for the others, they were mostly gathered in the backyard.
Even children like Ji Miaomiao and Ye Zhixuan were playing in the backyard.
Because Ye Qiuyun and Wang Xueyan had to prepare for tomorrow's meal, they were busy in the backyard at the moment.
Mrs. Ji was worried that her two daughters-in-law would be too busy in the backyard, so she came to the backyard to help them.
It's just that there are too many children. Su Xiu'er is now tired and falls asleep easily. She is afraid that something might happen if she doesn't take care of the children in time.
So Mrs. Ji brought the children to the backyard, thinking that adults like them would not let the children run around here.
And they can also take care of the children in their free time.
The five little boys of the Ji family all like their little sister very much. There are a lot of mosquitoes in the backyard now. When they see the mosquitoes surrounding Ji Miaomiao, all the little boys are trying to swat the mosquitoes.
Don’t let mosquitoes bite my sister!
Before the Ji family came to Ye Mansion, Ye Zhixuan had always been a relatively silent child.
Now after playing with the Ji family's little boy for a long time, his temperament has become much more cheerful, which makes the old slave feel much happier when he is with him.
Ye Xiao went back to duty in the afternoon anyway, Master Ye was not around, and no one was keeping Ye Zhixuan in check.
He played wildly with the little boys of the Ji family, and then swatted mosquitoes for Ji Miaomiao.
Ji Miaomiao also really likes teasing this old-fashioned little guy, and always likes to call him "brother Zhixuan" sweetly.
As you can imagine, the young lady, who is extremely shy, always gets her ears turned red by Ji Miaomiao's words.
Then he continued to hang around Ji Miaomiao and continued to be teased by Ji Miaomiao.
Repeat this over and over again, never get tired of it.
Ji Miaomiao's special treatment of Ye Zhixuan made the brothers of the Ji family unhappy for some time.
But as the only grandson of the Ye family, Ye Zhixuan still has a lot of interesting gadgets at his disposal, even though he doesn't like playing very much.
Whenever Ye Zhixuan brings out something novel, the little boys of the Ji family will forget that their sister called this guy so affectionately, and will continue to bring Ye Zhixuan to see Ji Miaomiao next time.
So every time Ji Miaomiao laments that her brother brings Ye Zhixuan to see her, it is all the result of Ye Zhixuan's contribution of interesting gadgets.
