Chapter 297 - 296 Another Mid-Autumn Festival
In order to make liquor-filled chocolates, Shen Mingzhu specially stocked up on two cases of Maotai liquor.
In this era, Maotai liquor was really cheap, the low-priced ones were only twelve yuan per bottle, and the most expensive Feitian Maotai was only fifty-eight yuan. If only she had money, she would have stocked up ten or eight cases of Feitian Maotai and made a fortune in twenty or thirty years, right?
But on second thought, a small western-style house only cost a little over ten thousand yuan. Wouldn’t it be even better to invest in real estate if she had the money?
Unfortunately, she was broke.
With Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, Shen Mingzhu made five kilograms of liquor-filled chocolates, packed them in beautiful boxes, and gave them away as Mid-Autumn Festival gifts along with mooncakes.
After giving away the chocolates, the next day, she received numerous phone calls from relatives and friends wanting to order liquor-filled chocolates, so Shen Mingzhu took the opportunity to officially sell them at Mingzhu Restaurant.
However, to avoid business disputes, she didn’t advertise using the Maotai brand name; instead, she promoted them as being made with ten-year-old soy sauce-flavored liquor.
Zhuang Xueqi ordered liquor-filled chocolates to enjoy with friends during the Mid-Autumn Festival. To ensure the best taste, Shen Mingzhu made them the day before the festival and personally delivered them to the Zhuang Family.
After the chocolates were delivered, Zhuang Xueqi casually picked one to taste and then asked Shen Mingzhu to find the housekeeper to settle the bill.
"Miss Zhuang, the liquor-filled chocolates this time are made with Feitian Maotai, so they are more expensive," Shen Mingzhu mentioned.
