Chapter 251: Wine and Tea Drinks
Duran smirked: "Don't worry, there will be new things for you to taste later." ”
"And magical?" Chen Jingting's eyes widened curiously, "What kind of novelty is it?" ”
"The reason why it's new is that you haven't tasted something that will definitely blow your taste buds." Duran said confidently.
At this moment, I suddenly remembered the knock on the door, Chen Jingting and Xu Hening had already been whetted by Duran, so the two of them looked at the door together, only to see the shopkeeper coming in with a plate.
The two of them followed the shopkeeper until he placed the exquisite ceramic cups on the table one by one, the two looked down and looked inside, only to see that there were pale yellow, orange, and purple liquids in the cups, Chen Jingting was the most curious, and first picked up a cup of purple and sniffed it under his nose, "Duran, what is this, it smells very sweet." ”
Xu Hening was also quite curious, picked up a cup and put it under his nose, waiting for Du Lan's answer.
Duran looked at the two, and naturally picked up a glass of orange juice and took a sip: "How about you two taste this drink?" ”
Drink?
Chen Jingting and Xu Hening glanced at each other again, each saw the ignorance in each other's eyes, and both turned their heads to look at Du Lan, and then took a sip respectively: "Sweet." ”
This is the unanimous evaluation of the two.
"Duran, you're the juice of the fruit, right?" Chen Jingting said complacently, he thought he had guessed correctly.
"I tasted it, it does taste like a fruit juice, but it's not a pure fruit juice, it must be mixed with something else, right?" Xu Hening's family is a winemaker, and he has a very sensitive sense of taste for things like juice and water.
"It's still Brother Xu who is powerful, and he says the truth in one sentence, these drinks are made of fruit juice. What do you think it tastes like? If it is very popular with diners, it can be mass-produced and sold. ”
For this aspect of selling, Xu Hening has the most insight, he frowned slightly: "Duran, now that it is about to enter winter, fruits are fresh goods, limited by the season, the price of your drink mixed with water juice must not be low, right?" ”
Duran nodded in agreement, "What Brother Xu said is exactly, since the fruit is not in season, the cost of procurement is high, and the price is definitely not cheap, but it doesn't matter, because my food is the sky to sell unique things, so in the impression of the diners, I feel that the food is different from the restaurant, since it is different everywhere, it doesn't matter if the price is higher, anyway, what everyone wants is taste." Just like Brother Xu's wine, some people drink the inferior ones, and the high-end ones are for the rich and noble. And my drinks are the same, and I also have an idea, that is, in order to show the dignity of the diners, all the private rooms are given drinks, as for the specific delivery method, I have to think about it and then determine. Today is the day of the opening of the restaurant, not to make money, but to give everyone the opportunity to taste, so that everyone agrees with this taste, and wants to spend money to drink again, and the purpose is achieved. ”
"This ......" Xu Hening had doubts again: "Most of the people who come to the restaurant to dine are men, although the drinks taste refreshing, but most of the men like sweets, so it should not be profitable." ”
Chen Jingting watched the two discuss business topics, he couldn't interject for a while, only sweetly holding a ceramic cup and drinking a drink, eating sweet and sour tenderloin.
"Correct explanation, Brother Xu really has a business mind, and most of the people who like drinks are women and children, so the sales are small, just like the spirits in your winery are for men to drink, and the flowers are brewed for women to drink, and the sales volume is naturally different for different customer groups." The head of Duran's analysis is Dao, which she has long thought of, the ancient restaurant is very sure that there are fewer female diners.
But it is impossible not to do without, so drinks aimed at women naturally cannot be without.
Xu Hening laughed heartily after hearing this: "Haha, Du Lan is thoughtful, I admire it." What fruit do you need, tell me, I will help you buy it, although the variety is not very large, but the amount should not be small. ”
Duran nodded: "This will be after the diners are stable, and I will calculate the daily demand in detail, so naturally there will be more during the festival." ”
After chatting about this topic, Xu Hening took out a paper bag from his body, opened it carefully, and a fragrance came to his nose.
Du Lan glanced at it, and immediately rejoiced in his heart: "Brother Xu, this is to bring us the best tea to drink." ”
Xu Hening completely opened the paper bag, and the tea cake inside was the size of the mouth of the pot, which was very fragrant, "I will brew a pot of products for you first." ”
The tea business of the restaurant has not changed, Du Lan is more proficient in cooking and stir-frying, and she also knows a little about tea art, but she has no purchase channels, so she still enters the tea of the tea merchant in Wuwei Zhai.
Now that Xu Hening actually took out good tea, it can be seen that he must have a way.
Soon, Xu Hening brewed tea, and the ancient people were quite particular about drinking tea, so tea is a commodity related to the lifeblood of the economy.
I saw Xu Hening pour out the water for the first time and refill the water again, after about a quarter of an hour, Xu Hening took out the teacups on the table and filled them in turn.
"Taste it." As he spoke, Xu Hening picked up a cup, carefully served it to Du Lan, and then rotated another cup through the table to Chen Jingting's side, "Please." ”
Duran is not proficient in the art of tea, she is just good at cooking, sniffing the tip of her nose, the tea is fragrant, and the taste is thick and sweet.
I was sure that this must be the best tea.
Chen Jingting also took a sip, not in a hurry to swallow it, but put the tea in his mouth, stirred, moved, tongue, head, and tasted it carefully before saying, "Well, it tastes really good." Brother Xu, you are so selfish, you have such a good tea, you didn't even take it out to entertain me and Brother Xue, how could you be willing to take it out this time? ”
Xu Hening's face was stunned, "Isn't this Dulan Kai Restaurant, I provided it to her, help her town, when did Brother Chen care about such a trivial matter, and if you want to drink it in the future, just go to my house to drink." ”
Duran swallowed a small sip of tea, feeling that Xu Hening's face was unnatural, and he also had suspicions in his heart, since they met, he was very warm and familiar with the two of them, and tried to help if there was any difficulty.
She was grateful from the bottom of her heart, but later she gradually felt that Brother Xu was indeed very good to her, unconditionally good, which made her have some scruples in her heart.
In addition, Brother Xu and Brother Xue are of the same age, they are already in the age of weak crowns, but they have never been married, and they have rejected Bai Yingying's straightforward girl, which makes her even more worried.
There were only business partners and friends between her and him, and nothing else.
Thinking of this, Du Lan's eyes sparkled, "Brother Xu, where did this tea come from, I don't know if I can be lucky enough to get acquainted with this tea merchant, and I can also find him to buy goods in the future." ”
Sensing Duran's deliberate avoidance, Xu Hening smiled lightly, Duran was really quick-minded, at the beginning of knowing her, she made herself look at herself differently, after so much time, he found more and more that Duran was brilliant, and even more unusual for her, she would not owe favors to others, so that she fell into passivity.
He thinks that he deals with all kinds of businessmen, and most of them are profiteers who try to make a profit.
For a while, Xu Hening thought a lot, but he was not shocked on the surface, not letting them see that Chen Jingting was eating and drinking, and by the way, he teased: "Well, I eat too much sweet, and I drink sweet water, it's too tired, or drink tea to clear my mouth." ”
He smacked his mouth, poured himself another cup of tea, and drank it himself.
Xu Hening replied to Duran's question: "This merchant is not local, his tea business is on par with the sales of liquor in our Xu Mansion, once I went out to sell wine and accidentally got to him by chance, and his tea even became a tribute." I rarely see him, but I just have some experience in business. ”
"Wow, it's amazing that his tea leaves can be used as a tribute." Duran admired, "In the future, I also hope that my spices can be sold in the palace." "Duran's infinite yearning reverie, if she can enter the palace, not only will she become famous, but her position as a spice dealer will be consolidated, and she may even become an imperial merchant, which is what ancient merchants dreamed of.
When the conversation was almost over, Chen Jingting spoke at the right time: "Duran, in the past, there were very few drinks in Wuwei Zhai, only wine and tea, and in the future, your food will only go to the next level than Wuwei Zhai, come, I am here to wish you a prosperous business, a rolling source of wealth, a stream of guests, and a tide of wealth." ”
Xu Hening was unwilling to stay, and said: "I wish you a good opening!" ”
