Chapter 1229: There is no place to spend money

A steaming ball was served on the table, accompanied by steaming heat and a strong smell of mutton.

The hostess, Jensen's mother, cut open the black lump and revealed a black mass of objects inside, which looked like dumpling fillings, but the color and shape were completely unappetizing.

Served with mashed potatoes and fries, and chopped carrots, Jensen's mother took turns serving Scotland's national dish, Haggis, on a plate and serving it to everyone in turn.

The Russians don't have much say in eating this aspect, so Yelena's expression is okay, and there is not much change, but Raphael is different, he is also from a country that produces food, so after seeing Haggis in front of him, although he still smiled, Gao Yang swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva with difficulty.

After waiting for a black mass to be filled with a black mass on the plate in front of everyone, Jensen said happily, "Everyone try our famous dish, Haggis, it is very time-consuming, but it is well worth the wait." ”

Jensen's father, Will, raised his glass and shouted, "Cheers!"

You can't drink red wine when you eat haggis, you have to pair it with whiskey, and the Jensen family now has a distillery, so whiskey is even more important.

The whiskey is good, really good.

As for Scotland's national dish, Haggis, Gao Yang tasted it and found that it was actually okay, at least much better than the appearance, the heavy peppery flavor covered up the smell of mutton, and the taste was quite delicate, although he thought that it was a complete waste to make haggis into this kind of ghostly thing, but it came to the UK. Gao Yang didn't expect to enjoy the food.

Gao Yang spent three years in the Sudanese steppe. Something strange haven't eaten. Not to mention the well-cooked haggis, or some strange object that was half-cooked and dripping with blood by burning him, he could eat it without changing his face, it was one thing whether it was delicious or not, and whether he could eat it was another.

Gao Yang's tolerance is very strong, and he can eat everything on the plate without changing his face, but the others can't.

After Raphael took a bite, he really couldn't do it. He looked indifferent, stirring the contents of the plate with a fork, but he just refused to put it in his mouth.

Erin looked firm, maintained the etiquette at the table, and ate the things on the plate little by little without changing her face, after all, she was a special soldier, and her training was different from others.

Jensen smiled and said, "I'll tell you how Haggis made it, the heart, liver, and lungs of the sheep." There is also minced lamb fat or something, and toppings such as pepper and onion. Then put it in the sheep's stomach, tie the sheep's stomach tightly with a rope and put it in the pot to cook, and it will be ready to come out of the pot for about three hours. ”

Jensen definitely did it on purpose, Yelena was holding on to a few bites, but after hearing Jensen's words, she refused to eat any more.

Fortunately, Will understood the matter, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "This dish is a kind of enjoyment for us, but many people may not be used to eating it, if you are not used to eating it, please leave it behind, it doesn't matter, you are not Scottish after all, I can understand it very well." ”

Raphael and Yelena were pardoned, but Gao Yang smiled and said, "It seems that I am the kind of person who can enjoy it, because I think it is delicious." ”

People have been busy for a long time, and they can't eat no one, for Gao Yang, although the food eaten here is not delicious, but there is no problem in eating, so let him be the diner who gives face to the master.

In fact, having said that, haggis is not really dark cuisine, and it is much better to be able to eat haggis than to be forced to learn about the famous dark cuisine of the British.

Compared to the food, the Janssen family's wine is much better, Janssen's father runs a small distillery, using very traditional methods to make whisky, Gao Yang is not very fond of foreign wine, but the good and bad can be distinguished.

After taking a small glass of whiskey and drinking it down, Raphael sighed and exclaimed, "This wine is wonderful! Mr. Jones, your wine must be in short supply now." ”

Will smiled: "The sales are really good now, thanks to Jensen having his two friends advertise for us, and now that our orders are coming up next year, we have gone through the most difficult period." ”

Jensen pointed at Gao Yang and said with a smile: "You have to thank him, Adele and Catherine are his friends, not mine." ”

Will raised his glass to Gao Yang and said with a smile: "Then I have to thank you, in order to express my gratitude to you, I have decided to provide you with free drinks for life, unlimited amounts, haha, cheers." ”

Gao Yang dried the whiskey in the glass, looked at the wine bottle on the table, and said strangely, "This taste seems to be different from what we used to drink." ”

Jensen smiled: "My wine is divided into four grades, the cheapest is ten pounds a bottle, then thirty pounds, one hundred pounds, and the most expensive is one hundred and fifty pounds a bottle, I used to give you one hundred and fifty pounds, and we are drinking thirty pounds a bottle." ”

After finishing speaking, Jensen pointed to his father and said with a smile: "My father's favorite is still this one, the price is different, because the process is different, the smaller the output, the more expensive, but the taste, it can only be said that it depends on which one you like." ”

Europeans drink alcohol, the most important thing is less than ten euros, one hundred and fifty pounds of wine must be high-end spirits, as for the kind of red wine that is tens of thousands of bottles, it is a luxury, and few people in the whole of Europe can afford to drink it, and few people have even seen it.

Will shrugged his shoulders and said, "Our wine is on the expensive side, it turns out that sales have been poor, and the winery is on the verge of going out of business, but then Jensen made money, and we got through the most difficult times, and after having two beautiful young ladies advertise, we are now selling well, this one for thirty pounds sells the best, followed by ten pounds, and as for the two wines of one hundred pounds and one hundred and fifty pounds, there is only a symbolic part of production." ”

Jensen smiled: "The most expensive wine is for you to drink, haha!"

Will put down his knife and fork and spread his hands: "No way, we are a new brand, I am very confident in the taste of our wine, but if we want to squeeze into the ranks of high-end wines, it will obviously take time, the British alcohol market is very competitive, to be honest, our winery can maintain the current situation, I am very satisfied." ”

Gao Yang smiled and said loudly: "Don't sell the most expensive one for one hundred and fifty pounds, change the brand, change the packaging, and then sell it for fifteen hundred pounds, you can find the gimmick yourself, and I will help you open the market and export it to the United States." ”

Will said in a daze, "Mr. Gao, are you kidding?"

Gao Yang shook his head and said: "I'm not kidding, in fact, your whiskey is really good, I know a few people, they are full of praise for your wine, but they have nowhere to buy it if they want to, and now the problem is, if you export the wine to the United States, it will be sold for two hundred to three hundred pounds at most, frankly, the price is too low." ”

Will said stupidly, "Three hundred pounds, too low?"

Gao Yang nodded and said: "Yes, it's too low, those rich people, well, if you sell a bottle for three hundred pounds, they will think that your wine can't be used to entertain friends, there is a ** share, to put it bluntly, they can't show off, you understand?"

Will shook his head and said, "I don't understand, three hundred pounds a bottle of wine, too low grade, can't show off? sorry I can't understand, because my product is originally a high-end wine, because the brewing process is very complicated, and it needs to be aged for a long time in special oak barrels, so there is no profit to sell for one hundred and fifty pounds." ”

Gao Yang smiled: "How many of the most expensive ones can you sell in a year now?"

Will smiled bitterly: "The dealer will buy a few bottles in very small quantities, except for his own usual, just as a display, but unfortunately, it has not been sold yet." ”

Gao Yang waved his hand and said curiously: "What is the annual output?"

Will frowned and said, "This year, I can produce a maximum of five hundred bottles, at most." ”

Gao Yang was very surprised, and said loudly: "Only five hundred bottles? so little? What about a hundred pounds?"

"Fifteen hundred to two thousand bottles, at most, this is already the limit. ”

Gao Yang sighed and said: "That's it! Limited, out of a limited edition, each bottle is numbered, one to ninety-nine, if you want to buy more, this is the best, how much does a bottle sell? Well, it's sold for 5,999 bottles, pounds! ”

Will said with a wry smile: "No one can buy this kind of wine, Mr. Gao, we are not a famous winery, nor is it a winery with a long history, I understand the meaning of high-end luxury, but we can't, we can't sell it like this." ”

At this moment, Erin's phone rang, and after she took out the phone and glanced at it, she made a gesture to Gao Yang.

Gao Yang nodded, and then continued to smile at Will: "You can't sell a bottle of high-end wine now, even if you sell 10,000 bottles, at most you will still sell all bottles, what are you afraid of? Besides, even if you sell all the most expensive wine, it will only be 500 bottles, how much money can you make? You just said that the profit is very meager, then even if I make a profit of 10 pounds, 500 bottles is only a profit of 5,000 yuan, and I don't do this to be famous." ”

After holding the wine glass and signaling to Will, Gao Yang drank the wine in one sip, and then he said with a smile: "You listen to me, just do what I say, you find a gimmick by yourself, make up a better story, and then leave the rest to me, I will help you open the American market first, what I can do is to make your wine popular in American high society, and let them compete to buy your wine." ”

Will also drank it all, and then smiled bitterly, "Unless they're all crazy." ”

Putting down the wine glass, he said solemnly: "Mr. Jones, you have to understand one thing, for rich people, they are not stupid or crazy, they just have money and no place to spend it, do as I say, number the wine, and then give me the rest." (To be continued......)
