"Hey, it's rare for everyone to get together like this. Let's all try some of my homemade liquor!"
Jiang Ning said, leisurely descending the stairs from the upper floor, two bottles of white liquor held steadily in his hands.
In reality, the liquor had been retrieved from his system space. Fearing that the others might see it, he had deliberately gone upstairs first to create the illusion that he had just come down from there.
"Jiang Ning, you can actually brew liquor?" Tang Xiachuan's face lit up with surprise, his eyes widening.
At that moment, his mind was racing. How good could Jiang Ning's brewing skills be? Could it rival the Supreme Emperor Maotai, which cost tens of thousands per bottle? After all, Jiang Ning's culinary skills were well-known. Perhaps his homemade liquor could truly compete with the Supreme Emperor Maotai. Otherwise, why would Jiang Ning specifically bring out his own brew amidst such a lavish spread of dishes?
Tang Xiachuan's curiosity was piqued, and he couldn't wait to taste the liquor.
Jiang Ning smiled and nodded modestly. "I know a little."
"Hehe, when Daddy says he 'slightly understands,' it definitely means he's the most skilled!" Mengmeng giggled, her clear laughter tinkling like silver bells.
Su Meng couldn't help but playfully roll her eyes at Jiang Ning. "Honey, I've tasted all the wine you've brewed. Yet you still claim to 'slightly understand'?"
"Hearing you say 'slightly understand' makes me wonder what you actually mean. Does it mean you know just a tiny bit, or is it a hidden depth of profound knowledge?"
"Ahem, Mengmeng, stop teasing me. Come on, everyone, try it quickly."
Jiang Ning cleared his throat and quickly changed the subject.
He respectfully poured a glass of baijiu for each person—except Mengmeng, of course.
"Daddy, Daddy, what about Mengmeng?" Mengmeng blinked her big eyes, looking up at Jiang Ning with a pleading expression.
"Mengmeng, don't you remember what Daddy said? Children shouldn't drink alcohol. It can harm the little cell babies in your body."
Jiang Ning reminded her patiently.
Mengmeng pouted, tilted her head, and thought for a moment before reluctantly saying, "Okay."
Everyone raised their glasses, the rich, mellow aroma of the wine drilling straight into their nostrils. Even before taking a sip, their hearts felt slightly intoxicated.
Su Yunlong took a gentle sip first. In the blink of an eye, his expression transformed from anticipation to shock. He couldn't help but exclaim, "This wine! The moment it touches your tongue, it feels incredibly smooth and mellow. The rich flavor slowly unfolds on your palate, and after swallowing, a warm current flows down your throat, bringing a sense of utter comfort to your entire body.
I've tasted countless wines, but I've never experienced anything like this before!"
Hearing this, Tang Xiachuan quickly took a sip himself.
The liquid swirled in his mouth, revealing distinct layers of complex aromas that harmonized perfectly. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Jiang Ning, this wine is simply divine!
Compared to those astronomically priced Supreme Emperor Maotai and other renowned liquors, it not only holds its own but even surpasses them!"
Old butler Zhang Haichen nodded slightly, his face filled with admiration. "Master Jiang's culinary skills are already exceptional, but I never imagined his winemaking would be even more extraordinary. This wine is undoubtedly a rare and exquisite brew."
Liu Mengyan took a shallow sip, a faint blush gradually spreading across her cheeks. She smiled and said, "Jiang Ning, this wine has truly added a touch of brilliance to tonight's gathering."
Su Meng drained her glass in one gulp, smacked her lips, and said, "Honey, you've been hiding this wine pretty well. I searched your room for ages and never found it."
Before anyone could reply, the group gradually entered a marvelous state of mind. Their eyes closed, and their faces relaxed into expressions of pure bliss.
"Daddy, look how happy Grandma and Grandpa are! Is the wine you made really that delicious?" Mengmeng whispered curiously.
"Shh," Jiang Ning gently motioned for silence. He didn't want to disturb their immersion in this wonderful state of mind. He wanted them to enjoy it quietly, to let their hearts settle into peace.
You see, when Jiang Ning first brewed this batch of wine, it was late at night, and he felt particularly calm. During the brewing process, images of a forest surfaced in his mind, and he could almost hear the chirping of birds and the buzzing of insects.
As a result, anyone who drank this wine naturally entered the state of mind Jiang Ning had envisioned.
Five minutes passed. One by one, they opened their eyes and slowly came back to their senses. Then, their faces filled with astonishment as they stared at Jiang Ning.
"This wine... did you really brew this yourself, Master Jiang?" Tang Xiachuan's voice trembled with excitement, and the wine glass in his hand shook slightly.
"Indeed, Old Master Tang. My winemaking skills have reached the Grandmaster level, surpassing even my culinary prowess. When you drink this wine, you're experiencing the scenes I envisioned during the brewing process, naturally immersing you in the intended artistic realm," Jiang Ning explained with a smile.
"Then... have you ever considered establishing a winery? If you could mass-produce this wine, I tell you, people would clamor for it at hundreds of thousands per bottle—no, even a million! The wealthy elite, the business tycoons... they'd fight over it like mad!" Tang Xiachuan proposed excitedly.
Jiang Ning replied frankly, "To be honest, Old Master Tang, my wife and I are already planning to establish a winery."
Tang Xiachuan's face fell slightly. "Ah, you've already started!"
With decades of experience navigating the business world, Tang Xiachuan knew this wine would sell without a problem at a million per bottle.
Those in the elite social circles would undoubtedly clamor for it.
This was, after all, wine brewed by a Grandmaster. Calling it an Immortal Brew wouldn't be an exaggeration. Drinking it could bring inner peace and lead one to extraordinary states of mind.
Compared to this brew, even a bottle of Supreme Emperor Maotai costing nearly one hundred thousand yuan paled in comparison.
*If only I could partner with Jiang Ning to establish a winery,* he thought. *The performance of the Tang Group's restaurant division would be secured. With this wine, influential connections would flock to our door, expanding the Tang Group's network exponentially and elevating the entire enterprise to new heights.*
"Um, Master Jiang, what do you think about me becoming the general agent for Kyoto?" Tang Xiachuan asked, his face thick with shameless persistence.
Jiang Ning looked troubled. "Old Master Tang, Mengmeng is still searching for a suitable factory site, and the company registration procedures haven't been completed yet. Moreover, we haven't finalized the classification, positioning, planning, or marketing strategy for this wine."
"I feel it's a bit too early to discuss the Kyoto general agency," Jiang Ning said.
Tang Xiachuan quickly waved his hand, saying anxiously, "Not at all! I just want to secure the Kyoto general agency slot first. Once your winery affairs are settled, you can send me your plans for marketing, positioning, and distribution."
Jiang Ning smiled helplessly. "Alright, then we'll reserve the Kyoto general agency slot for you."
In truth, Jiang Ning felt quite confident entrusting the Kyoto agency to Tang Xiachuan. The Tang Group had extensive experience in sales and market expansion in the capital, and he was certain their sales performance there would surpass what he or the Su Group could achieve.
Perhaps Kyoto could even become the nation's top-selling region. After all, with its concentration of wealthy individuals, the Tang Group was the perfect fit to manage the capital's distribution.
Hearing this, Tang Xiachuan exclaimed happily, "Then it's settled!"
