Chapter 163 - 162: Brief Tenderness (Third Update)
The wine sold even better than rice wine as soon as it was released. According to Brother Jianye, many organizations are ordering their wine.
Old Tang has some connections in S City, and he hasn’t stopped pulling orders all month. Liu Yanmin is young and a sent-down youth, so he finds it hard to get a foot in the door. Although he hasn’t pulled in as many orders as Old Tang, he still manages to bring in a few dozen boxes every month. The commission per bottle ranges from one to five cents, making the commission higher than the salary. Their income is much higher than those in regular factories or organizations. At this rate, in two to three years, they can afford a small courtyard.
This makes the two of them even more motivated.
Their rice wine production is now stable, but production of mulberry and plum wine has stopped. There are only a few thousand bottles left, which probably won’t last until next year’s mulberry season. The main limitation is that they only have one winemaking machine, which restricts their production capacity.
In mid-September, it has been raining for three consecutive days, and the temperature has dropped rapidly. The night market of the restaurant has to stop.
The crayfish and grilled lamb skewers are quite popular. Lin Wan didn’t remove these two from the menu; instead, she asked the renovation workers to create a small space of a few square meters on the left side of the store, dedicated to selling these items. They can be taken out or consumed inside the store.
Lin Wan specifically told Huang Dashan to deliver some crayfish and fish by 11 AM.
The two of them discussed and decided to deliver once every three days, as it can be stored in cold weather.
This year, Lin Wan made preparations by having Mom buy plentiful beans from the morning market during the autumn, along with pumpkins from Aunt Jin and Grandma’s homes, and they collected quite a few, sun-drying them all.
They didn’t make much, but buying some from outside should last through the winter.
After the hot pot started business, there were a couple of days when business wasn’t very good. Citizens were still thinking about the night market dishes, and suddenly they were gone, causing some discomfort.
