After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure Novel - Chapter 589
589 Good face-smacking
After drinking the white wine, everyone had higher expectations for the bamboo leaf green wine.
“Princess, is the bamboo leaf green wine also similar to this type of white wine?” One of them couldn’t help but ask.
Shi Qingluo smiled. “It was brewed with white wine, but the alcohol content is lower than the white wine just now. It’s higher than the fruit wine and flower wine. It doesn’t taste as strong as white wine.”
Bamboo leaf green wine had a moderate alcohol content and was more suitable for scholars.
!!
“Judging from the name, is the bamboo leaf green wine brewed with bamboo leaves?” Another person asked curiously.
“Yes,” Shi Qingluo said with a smile, “it contains tender bamboo leaves. However, it’s not brewed with bamboo leaves. It’s brewed with some medicinal herbs.
“Not only does it taste fresher, but it also soothes the internal organs and nourishes the blood.”
At this moment, a new batch of manservants and maidservants came over with wine jars and wine glasses.
“You’ll know it after you taste it.”
This time, there were still drinking with the blue and white porcelain wine cups, and everyone had a cup.
When they held the glasses in their hands, they saw that the wine in the glasses was golden with a hint of green.
It was pure and transparent, without the slightest impurity or cloudiness.
A faint fragrance of wine lingered around the tip of his nose.
Everyone took a sip.
A civil official was amazed by the taste of the wine. “It’s mellow and sweet, soft and refreshing. Good wine!”
“It’s soft and mellow, the best wine I’ve ever had,” another family head said with a smile.
The bamboo leaf green wine was more popular than white wine. Many people liked it, and some madams even praised it.
Although Madam Tu was expressionless and silent, she tasted all the wine that the maidservant handed her.
At first, she was hoping that the rest of the wine wouldn’t taste good, but after tasting it, her eyes became more and more numb.
Especially after the last two kinds of wine were served, she felt very upset.
She knew that she was not the only one who had lost.
The Tu family had lost too.
The Tu family’s master was drinking white wine and bamboo leaf green wine.
He was in shock.
Although he didn’t care about his family’s wine-making business, he knew how to make wine.
He would drink a cup of his family’s wine every day.
So he couldn’t figure out why Shi Qingluo’s wine was so clear, with no trace of impurity or murkiness.
The wine that their family brewed had a turbid feeling, and the taste was much inferior.
If Shi Qingluo’s winery only sold this kind of wine next time, would anyone still buy their wine?
With this kind of wine, he was concerned that everyone here could figure out what kind of wine they liked.
Just as he was thinking this, someone impatiently looked at Shi Qingluo and asked, “Princess, can I have a few more cups of this bamboo leaf green wine?”
“Yes, yes. I would like to have more white wine too. How can one glass be enough?” A general licked his lips, savoring the aftertaste.
“I’ll have more flower wine too.”
“I prefer fruit wine. The green plum wine is too good. Give me more.”
Everyone asked for more wine.
Shi Qingluo apologized with a smile. “I’m so sorry. I was just brewing this for fun. I originally planned to drink it at home or entertain guests.”
Everyone was speechless.
The wine that you brewed for fun is already so good. This is really a slap in the Tu family’s face!
Shi Qingluo smiled again. “But who knew that when I went to the Tu family’s flower banquet that day, Madam Tu and the others insisted on tasting the wine I brewed? I couldn’t refuse.
“Fang Zhijun of the Fang family is also my husband’s friend. I can’t bear to see such a wine-making family fall so easily. That’s why I thought of buying their distilleries and wine shops. I’ll use my recipes to make wine and sell it. The Fang family won’t have to leave Northern City anymore.
“By the way, I would also like to thank Madam Tu and Fourth Young Master Tu for their kindness. They’ve given my husband so many beauties, so I can only return the favor with good wine.”
Madam Tu and Fourth Young Master Tu were speechless.
So, Shi Qingluo wanted to open a winery because of them?
At this moment, Madam Tu was full of regret.
If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have shown off the apricot-flower wine she brewed at the banquet that day.
Originally, she only wanted to make a fool out of Shi Qingluo and let her know who was the better one.
Who knew she’d be the one to be embarrassed instead?
Tu Lihuan regretted listening to his mother’s words and finding beauties to send to Xiao Hanzheng.
Shi Qingluo was a woman that would be jealous.
Not only could she not tolerate Magistrate Xiao, having a concubine, but she was also particularly petty.
Just because of this, she actually hated them.
From just now until now, she had been openly mocking them.
The main point was that they couldn’t refute her.
After all, their wine wasn’t as good as hers, and it was a fact that they had sent beauties over.
This was the first time Tu Lihuan felt defeated.
How could this happen?
He wondered how those from Northern City would laugh at him and his mother after today.
Of course, his hatred for Shi Qingluo was even stronger.
He lowered his head to hide the ruthlessness in his eyes.
He must be able to get Xiao Baili and make her cry in the future.
Shi Qingluo waited for everyone to digest the reason on why she wanted to open a winery.
She continued. “That’s why I didn’t brew a lot for each type of wine. Today, I’m just letting you all try it. I really can’t provide any more.”
This was also the reason why she didn’t display such wine out like the types of other wine and let everyone drink it.
Of course, there was still stock available, but the wine had to be sold in the winery.
After the advertisement was done, she would, of course, use hunger marketing to whet their appetites.
As expected, everyone was very disappointed when they heard that there would be no more.
A general who especially liked strong white wine asked, “Can I buy it? I’d like to buy a few jars of white wine.”
Shi Qingluo apologized with a smile. “I’m sorry, but it’s not for sale now.”
“But when my Nanxi Winery opens, I’ll display these wines for sale,” she added.
“It’s just that there’s a limited number of them, first come, first served.”
This also made the disappointed people’s eyes light up.
All of them were eager to get their hands on the wine.
When Nanxi Winery opened, they would let their servants and guards line up to fight for it.
The madams and young ladies also wanted to let their maidservants and manservants line up to snatch the flower wine and fruit wine.
They were really delicious.
Suddenly, one of the descendants of an aristocratic family who had been constantly eating raised his head and asked, “Princess, will this buffet be available again in the future?”
It was simply too delicious. Moreover, he liked the style of serving himself.
His words also echoed everyone’s thoughts.
That’s right. Will there be more buffets in the future?
Shi Qingluo pretended to be in a difficult position. “This was something I initally organized to entertain everyone.”
“If you open a restaurant, I can have such buffet every day,” said the aristocratic young master who asked previously.
“Yes, yes. Princess, please open another restaurant.”
“I’ve long heard that you have many recipes. Today, I’ve tasted them. I’m really amazed. Princess, please open a restaurant.”
“I also support the princess to open a restaurant. I will definitely come and support.”
There were so many delicious dishes. If they didn’t get to eat them in the future, they would be very regretful.
She stood in silent as everyone suggested that she open a restaurant.
Shi Qingluo seemed to ponder for a moment before she reluctantly said, “It’s fine to open a restaurant. In the future, how about we hold a buffet at this wine shop every 1st and 15th day of the Lunar New Year and at every festive occasion?
“We’ll charge by the number of people. We’ll give out the reserved spots three days in advance.”
Even though they could not eat at the buffet every day, Shi Qingluo’s words still made everyone happy.
Having them on the first and fifteenth days of the new year and festive occasions were not bad either!
