Early the next morning, as soon as Jiang Ning entered the Fortune Restaurant, he saw several waiters gathering together to chat their teeth as usual. When they looked up and saw Jiang Ning coming in, they immediately shut their mouths, and hurriedly scattered, their hands and feet were extremely agile.
Jiang Ning glanced at them, and said softly, "Don't rush away, just stand here for a while, I have something to tell everyone."
All the guys immediately looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, those who ran back back, those who didn't run stopped, a group of people squeezed each other, slowly moved over like a group of chicks, and stood in front of Jiang Ning , Jiang Ning said to Wang Accountant and Ding Yu who were watching the excitement: "You all come here too."
At this time, someone among the staff boldly said: "Shopkeeper, what can we do?"
Jiang Ning smiled slightly, and casually called the guy's name: "You go to the back kitchen and call the rest of the people over."
Hearing this, the guy had no choice but to go in doubt, and after a while, when he came back, he was followed by four people from the back kitchen, two chefs, Bao Yuan who was a handyman, and Wang Shitou who was in charge of the warehouse.
Jiang Ning looked at it and asked casually, "Where's Guanshi Liu?"
The caller shrank his neck, lowered his head and replied, "Guan Liu said that his heart hurts and he can't come."
Jiang Ning smiled, nodded, and said: "That's right, Guanshi Liu is getting old now, and he will inevitably have various problems. If you encounter anything in the warehouse in the future, don't bother him, just ask Shitou That's fine."
Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and they all agreed, Jiang Ning looked at them again, and suddenly asked: "Except for Liu Guanshi, who feels distressed, is everyone in the restaurant now?"
There was a moment of silence in the lobby, and after a while, Ding Yu reminded in a low voice: "The shopkeeper, there is one missing, and Chen Guanshi hasn't come yet."
Jiang Ning smiled slightly: "So he also has a heartache?"
Everyone kept silent, Jiang Ning didn't care, and continued: "I have been in Fuyun Restaurant for more than a month, and I haven't seen that elusive Chen in this month or so. On the management side, it's a pity, but according to the rules of Shen's firm, those who absent from work for seven days without permission can have their contracts voided, so this manager Chen is no longer a member of the restaurant from today onwards."
Although his tone was still gentle and gentle, as if he was talking about a very common thing, the meaning in it left no room for comment.
After getting along with each other these days, everyone has a full understanding of Jiang Ning. The new shopkeeper's wrist is almost exactly the same as his temper. It is more than vigorous and resolute. Looking at the posture of the new shopkeeper today, he must rectify the restaurant.
Just as everyone thought, Jiang Ning planned to clean up the restaurant today. He came here for more than a month, and he was quiet at the beginning, just to get a feel for the bottom of the restaurant, and now he has found out clearly. Naturally, it's time to do it.
Jiang Ning said in a gentle tone: "You don't have to be nervous. I called everyone here today, just to set up a few rules. As the saying goes, there is no rule, no circle, and everyone knows that we work in restaurants. It’s all bad, if the restaurant has been poorly managed, it can only empty its foundation and detain its own people, you say, is this the reason?”
Everyone naturally didn't dare to have any opinions, and they all nodded their heads. Jiang Ning continued: "I don't have many rules, only three simple ones. Listen carefully. If you have any opinions, you can bring them up to me later. , Firstly, you are not allowed to neglect the guests, no matter what you are doing, as long as there are guests entering or exiting the gate of the restaurant, there must be someone to greet and see them off, do you understand this rule?"
Seeing that everyone agreed, Jiang Ning said again: "Second rule, you are not allowed to argue with guests, even if the guests are unreasonable, he can scold you, but you can't scold back."
Hearing this, Zhang An couldn't help it anymore, and said in a low voice, "You can't scold me back. What should I do if I meet a troublesome guest?"
Jiang Ning looked at him in response, and was not angry, just said: "Just imagine, when you are not at fault, the guest scolded you unreasonably. This person is not a broad-minded person. You can scold you back, and then you will continue to scold me." What will happen next?"
Zhang An choked, and closed his mouth resentfully, next?Based on his past experience, if it is better, a scolding battle breaks out. After you come and I scold for half a day, all the customers in the restaurant have already run away. If it is worse, the two sides refuse to give in to each other. His business was ruined, and his month was wasted...
Jiang Ning continued: "Think about it again. If you make a mistake, the guest scolds you, and you scold you back. In the end, who is right? After solving the guest's problem, I think as long as he is not insane, he will naturally not be missed. It makes things difficult for you for no reason, but if he still wants to mess around, you can't be like a soft persimmon, let others rub it round and squash it flat."
"Article [-], you are not allowed to have disputes with your own people in the restaurant," Jiang Ning said with a serious expression: "This article, how I dealt with it before, I think everyone has seen it. If you commit it again in the future, the punishment will only be worse than the last time. Ten times better, you all have to remember."
Everyone nodded, Nuonuo responded, Jiang Ning smiled slightly, and said, "Do you have any other opinions on my three-day rules?"
There was no sound in the lobby. Seeing that everyone was shaking their heads scatteredly, Jiang Ning said with satisfaction: "Since there is no problem, you all go to work."
Everyone quickly responded and dispersed.
Jiang Ning suddenly called to stop the last two people in the crowd, and said: "Master Li, Master Gan, please stop, I have something to discuss with you."
The two masters, Li and Gan, looked at each other, and finally followed Jiang Ning to the next room. Jiang Ning motioned, "Two sit down."
Master Gan sat down, a little uneasy and said: "The shopkeeper, this is..."
Jiang Ning smiled: "Master Gan, don't be nervous, I just want to ask something."
Only then did Master Gan feel relieved, nodded, and Jiang Ning said, "I want to ask you two, what are the exclusive dishes in the restaurant now?"
Master Gan thought for a while, then hesitated: "There are signature dishes, but..."
Master Li snorted: "It's better not to say it out of shame, those dishes have already been turned over and over again by other restaurants eight hundred times."
Hearing this, Master Gan was silent. After Master Li finished speaking, he said to Jiang Ning: "I have been in the restaurant for four years. In the past, Fuyun Restaurant was quite famous. Its exclusive dishes are immortal duck and fish head soup. , squirrel mandarin fish, attracted many guests, but the good times didn’t last long, in just one year, the recipes of the dishes were leaked out, and now it’s a joke to talk about exclusive or not.”
Master Gan whispered to Jiang Ning: "Those dishes are all made by Master Li..."
Master Li sneered, and said, "If I didn't owe my old boss a favor back then, I wouldn't have worked here long ago."
After hearing this, Jiang Ning thought about it, and then said: "What if we want to make new dishes now?"
Master Gan was startled: "A new dish?"
Jiang Ning nodded: "That's right, if you want to attract customers, it's better for the restaurant to have its own unique dishes in order to make a name for itself."
Master Li was silent for a long time, and Jiang Ning said to them with a smile: "The two masters have been immersed in cooking for so many years, and they are the pillars of the restaurant. Thinking about it, they should be able to make up their minds."
Master Li thought for a while, and then said in a muffled voice, "Let me think about it."
"Naturally," Jiang Ning smiled slightly: "Now that the third young master has handed over the restaurant to me, I naturally want to take care of the restaurant. However, the restaurant still focuses on the dishes. As long as the dishes are good, there is no fear that there will be no customers. I need to ask the two masters to take a lot of trouble."
His attitude is modest, and his words are sincere, which can easily attract people's favor. Master Gan immediately nodded and said: "Yes, please rest assured, shopkeeper."
Master Li looked thoughtful, and after a while, he said to Jiang Ning: "I know about this, as long as you don't let some messy people come to the back kitchen to mess up, we will be thankful."
Jiang Ning said it was natural, and then the three of them discussed the new dishes for half a day before the two chefs left.
In the evening, Jiang Ning came out of the house. It was already dark outside. Ding Yu was cleaning the wine jars behind the counter. When he saw Jiang Ning, he greeted, "Shopkeeper, are you back?"
Jiang Ning nodded, and ordered as usual: "After closing, remember to check the doors and windows."
Ding Yu hurriedly agreed, and Jiang Ning left the restaurant and walked slowly along the street to the north of the city.
After walking for more than half an hour, Jiang Ning unlocked the familiar yard. He glanced at the door and saw a small corner of a letter stuck in the crack of the door. He opened the door and entered, and the envelope dropped When it reached the ground, there was a soft sound, and Jiang Ning bent down to pick it up. The small courtyard was quiet, only the sparrows were yelling loudly in the trees, chirping endlessly, which added a little vitality to the lifeless courtyard.
Jiang Ning pushed open the door, and there was a scream from the creaking old door hinge, which broke the silence of the room, and then it fell into silence again. He looked at the dark room, and there was a large group of water-soaked marks on the front wall , covered with light moss, like a entrenched monster, opened its mouth wide to him.
Jiang Ning looked at the wall, was silent for a while, went to the window, pushed the window open, then opened the letter, read it at a glance, after reading it, he thought for a moment, then folded the letter paper , pressed it with a paperweight, took a piece of rice paper from the side, and began to write and draw on the paper...
In the early morning of the second day, Jiang Ning was looking at the account in the account room of the restaurant. After a short time, he heard the door of the account room being smashed. It could be seen that the anger of the visitor was almost burning on him through the door panel.
He has been in the restaurant for more than a month, and this is the first time someone dared to smash his door. Jiang Ning closed the account book and listened for a while in surprise. rest.
Only then did Jiang Ning stand up slowly, and went to open the door. Outside the door was an angry strange middle-aged man with a horse face, a pair of inverted triangle eyes, a mustache, and a short stature. According to visual inspection, he was only Jiang Ning's shoulder height. Looking up and glaring at him with an angry face, Jiang Ning glanced behind him, and several good guys immediately retracted their heads, cleaning the table and sweeping the floor, pretending to be serious.
Jiang Ning laughed and said: "Be careful, clean it up. Although I don't like to fine people monthly, but fly legs are also meat. If the restaurant has other income, it would be a good thing, don't you think?"
After hearing this, all the clerks became more diligent in cleaning their hands, for fear of being watched by the shopkeeper.
Seeing that he was completely ignored, the middle-aged man couldn't help but angrily said, "Are you the new shopkeeper?"
Jiang Ning hummed, then looked down at him slightly: "I am, who are you?"
The middle-aged man always had an attitude of provoking a teacher, but this time he almost choked to death after hearing his words. He stared at a pair of triangular eyes furiously, and cursed: "Who am I? Open up your dog!" See clearly, I am the steward of this restaurant!"
Jiang Ning hugged his shoulders, leaned against the door frame, and said lightly: "Sorry, I have been in the restaurant for more than a month, and I don't remember seeing you. Who are you in charge?"
This attitude didn't take him seriously at all, the middle-aged man was suddenly furious, and said angrily: "Which corner did you come from? I have been in the restaurant for so many years, and I have never seen you before!"
Jiang Ning didn't bother to argue with him, but just looked him up and down silently for a while, only to see that the middle-aged man was uncomfortable, and his hairs were about to stand on end, as if an animal had encountered a natural enemy.
Jiang Ning frowned, and simply said: "I've heard of you, Chen Jin, the former Guanshi Chen, but since yesterday, it's no longer."
Chen Jin jumped and scolded: "I was invited by the young master back then! You are a yellow-haired kid, why should you fire me?"
Jiang Ning laughed, and said: "Let's not talk about the rules of Shen's firm, Chen Guanshi, let me ask you, do you know the account entry for the three months of Yuzhao's February 21, July and August?"
Hearing this, Chen Jin was at a loss: "What's not clear?" After a while, he came to his senses, with an angry expression on his face, and said sharply, "What do you mean? Do you suspect that I stole money from the restaurant?"
Jiang Ning didn't answer, but said slowly: "Think about it again, starting from the first month of the 22nd year of Yuzhao, every other month, the restaurant will have an extra vague account, because there is no shopkeeper, all accounts are only You really didn't know about this matter after you and Wang's accountant did it?"
Following what he said, Chen Jin's complexion gradually changed. He stared at Jiang Ning as if he had seen a ghost. He suddenly thought of something, and immediately turned to look at the counter at the door, but he could only see Wang's accountant in the pile of books. The back of the pen and book.
Jiang Ning chuckled: "Wang's accountant is very careful in accounting these days. He has been an old accountant for decades. If you still don't understand, you can ask him for advice."
Chen Guanshi's face turned gray and gray in an instant, just like the wall beside him, and he was still struggling: "So many debts, and it's been so long, who can remember clearly?"
Jiang Ning let out a sigh, and wrote lightly: "Chen Guanshi, people's brains can be difficult, but the account book can't lie. Didn't you remember it clearly when you kept the account back then?"
When he said this, he straightened up slightly, and said seriously: "Since this is the case, Guanshi Chen knows that according to the laws of Daze, people who fabricate false account books are going to see officials and go to prison. Guanshi Chen did this in the restaurant. After so many years, don't you know?"
Chen Guanshi's face turned pale, his expression flustered, he took a step back, his mustache kept shaking, and he said incoherently: "I don't understand what you are talking about, the account... I didn't do the account back then, I don't know anything about it." Affection--"
Jiang Ning calmed down and said, "It's all signed by Chen Guanshi's own handwriting, black and white, clear and clear, how could he not know about it? Could it be that someone faked Chen Guanshi's handwriting?"
"I, I have other things to do today, so I'm too lazy to entangle you." Steward Chen walked out hastily while talking.
Jiang Ning didn't stop him, but just crossed his arms, watching his flustered footsteps, and left in a hurry.
Although those accounts were done by him and the accountant Wang, how could they dare to swallow half a year's profit of the restaurant with their guts?
Jiang Ning stood at the door for a while, and was about to return to the account room, when he suddenly saw Zhang An and Ding Yu muttering something in front of him, Ding Yu frowned and shook his head, Zhang An saw him, and immediately said: "You Didn't you tell me to go and get scolded? Otherwise, you can send this wine up."
Ding Yu argued: "The wine we sell has always been like this, how can we change it?"
Zhang An raised his eyebrows, he was about to lose his temper, but he restrained himself abruptly, and said in a rough voice: "No, I can't deliver this wine, you can figure it out, why do you want me to offend others? do it?"
The two were in a stalemate when they suddenly heard Jiang Ning asking, "What happened?"
Ding Yu shrank his neck, Zhang An shut up, the two of them stopped talking immediately, Jiang Ning smiled: "Tell me, what's going on?"
Zhang An signaled Ding Yu with his eyes, and Ding Yu saw Jiang Ning also looking over, so he could only lower his voice and say: "The guests at the Gengyin table ordered a pot of Xishi accent."
"No more wine?"
Ding Yu immediately shook his head: "There is wine...just..."
Zhang An couldn't understand his stammering, so he simply answered it himself, saying, "This wine can't be sent up."
Jiang Ning was surprised: "Why?"
Zhang An replied: "Xishi accent is the most expensive drink in our place. The guest said, we can't fool him, or we will look good on us."
Jiang Ning immediately glanced at the big wine jar behind Ding Yu, and asked, "Is there a problem with the wine in our restaurant?"
This time Ding Yu nodded honestly and said: "Yes, there is a problem. When this wine was delivered to the restaurant, it was mixed with water. If it is delivered, I'm afraid..."
Jiang Ning frowned slightly: "Why do you want to buy wine mixed with water?"
Ding Yu lowered his voice and said: "The wine is the same as the vegetables. It is bought by Liu Guanshi. This wine has its own problems. If it is mixed with water, it will turn sour after a few days. Therefore, the wine in our restaurant is sold every few days. If you want to buy it once, it will be a year."
Jiang Ning was silent for a moment, and told Ding Yu, "Solve this matter first, and then you can pay the money from Wang's account immediately, go out and buy wine, and come back quickly."
Then he said to Zhang An: "Go to the guest and delay the time. You must wait until Ding Yu buys the wine."
Both of them responded, and hurriedly split up and went to work.
Jiang Ning thought for a while, opened the wine jar of Xishi accent, scooped a spoonful of wine from it, took a small bowl, tasted it, and frowned, the wine was very weak, basically only a little The smell of wine is in it, so it can't be regarded as wine at all.
Immediately afterwards, he tasted all the wines, only to find that the taste of Xishiqiang was still the strongest, and the rest were probably mixed with seven or eight parts of water in one serving of wine. It can also be sold, and it has been sold for more than a year. The customer is not mentally retarded, so how could he come back again?
Jiang Ning put down the bowl, pondered for a moment, Ding Yu had already bought the wine and came back, sweating profusely and said to him: "Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, I bought it, authentic Xishi accent."
Jiang Ning responded and ordered: "Weigh it out and let Zhang An deliver it to the guests."
After Zhang An brought the wine back, he said that the guests were very satisfied, and didn't say much.
Jiang Ning thought for a while, and said to Zhang An: "Go and tell the other waiters that from today onwards, if there are customers ordering wine, just say that the restaurant will clean up the wine cellar in the past few days and will not serve wine for the time being. We will talk about it later."
Zhang An responded, and Jiang Ning said to Ding Yu, "Where did Guanshi Liu buy wine?"
Ding Yu replied: "It's a wine shop in the north of the city. The price of their wine is extremely low, but the quality..."
Jiang Ning nodded to show he understood, and then asked, "How long have you been selling wine?"
Ding Yu chuckled, and replied: "My family used to be a wine shop, but after the wine shop was closed, I came out to work. I dare not say anything else. I have been selling wine for ten years at least."
Jiang Ning said with a smile: "In that case, you can go out with me in the afternoon."
In the afternoon, Jiang Ning took Ding Yu to the north of the city. The two walked around the market a few times and turned into an alley. After walking a few steps, they smelled a faint scent of wine. Walking further inside, the aroma of the wine immediately became stronger, as if all the air in this alley was stained with the aroma of wine.
Ding Yu looked at the shops on both sides of the alley, and said a little excitedly: "Our family's former wine shop is also here, but it was demolished later."
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Do you know which one here makes the best wine?"
Ding Yu chuckled, and said bluntly: "Of course it belongs to our family."
He thought for a while, then sighed again: "The distillery has long since disappeared, so it's useless to talk about it. The current wineries are probably the best wines in Zhaoji Distillery and Liu Weng Distillery."
Jiang Ning nodded: "Then let's go to these two wineries."
Ding Yu pointed to the front and said, "It's right in front, with two wineries facing each other diagonally, so it's easy to find."
The two walked a few steps, and they saw a Zhaoji wine shop, with wine flags waving, and a man unloading a car at the door, saw someone stopped at the door of the wine shop, wiped the sweat from his head, came over and asked: "Two Do you want to buy wine?"
Jiang Ning nodded and asked, "Can I have a look?"
The man enthusiastically said: "Of course, you two please follow me."
Jiang Ning glanced at them, and said softly, "Don't rush away, just stand here for a while, I have something to tell everyone."
All the guys immediately looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, those who ran back back, those who didn't run stopped, a group of people squeezed each other, slowly moved over like a group of chicks, and stood in front of Jiang Ning , Jiang Ning said to Wang Accountant and Ding Yu who were watching the excitement: "You all come here too."

Jiang Ning smiled slightly, and casually called the guy's name: "You go to the back kitchen and call the rest of the people over."
Hearing this, the guy had no choice but to go in doubt, and after a while, when he came back, he was followed by four people from the back kitchen, two chefs, Bao Yuan who was a handyman, and Wang Shitou who was in charge of the warehouse.
Jiang Ning looked at it and asked casually, "Where's Guanshi Liu?"

Jiang Ning smiled, nodded, and said: "That's right, Guanshi Liu is getting old now, and he will inevitably have various problems. If you encounter anything in the warehouse in the future, don't bother him, just ask Shitou That's fine."

The middle-aged man always had an attitude of provoking a teacher, but this time he almost choked to death after hearing his words. He stared at a pair of triangular eyes furiously, and cursed: "Who am I? Open up your dog!" See clearly, I am the steward of this restaurant!"
Jiang Ning hugged his shoulders, leaned against the door frame, and said lightly: "Sorry, I have been in the restaurant for more than a month, and I don't remember seeing you. Who are you in charge?"
This attitude didn't take him seriously at all, the middle-aged man was suddenly furious, and said angrily: "Which corner did you come from? I have been in the restaurant for so many years, and I have never seen you before!"
Jiang Ning didn't bother to argue with him, but just looked him up and down silently for a while, only to see that the middle-aged man was uncomfortable, and his hairs were about to stand on end, as if an animal had encountered a natural enemy.
Jiang Ning frowned, and simply said: "I've heard of you, Chen Jin, the former Guanshi Chen, but since yesterday, it's no longer."
Chen Jin jumped and scolded: "I was invited by the young master back then! You are a yellow-haired kid, why should you fire me?"
Jiang Ning laughed, and said: "Let's not talk about the rules of Shen's firm, Chen Guanshi, let me ask you, do you know the account entry for the three months of Yuzhao's February 21, July and August?"
Hearing this, Chen Jin was at a loss: "What's not clear?" After a while, he came to his senses, with an angry expression on his face, and said sharply, "What do you mean? Do you suspect that I stole money from the restaurant?"
Jiang Ning didn't answer, but said slowly: "Think about it again, starting from the first month of the 22nd year of Yuzhao, every other month, the restaurant will have an extra vague account, because there is no shopkeeper, all accounts are only You really didn't know about this matter after you and Wang's accountant did it?"
Following what he said, Chen Jin's complexion gradually changed. He stared at Jiang Ning as if he had seen a ghost. He suddenly thought of something, and immediately turned to look at the counter at the door, but he could only see Wang's accountant in the pile of books. The back of the pen and book.
Jiang Ning chuckled: "Wang's accountant is very careful in accounting these days. He has been an old accountant for decades. If you still don't understand, you can ask him for advice."
Chen Guanshi's face turned gray and gray in an instant, just like the wall beside him, and he was still struggling: "So many debts, and it's been so long, who can remember clearly?"
Jiang Ning let out a sigh, and wrote lightly: "Chen Guanshi, people's brains can be difficult, but the account book can't lie. Didn't you remember it clearly when you kept the account back then?"
When he said this, he straightened up slightly, and said seriously: "Since this is the case, Guanshi Chen knows that according to the laws of Daze, people who fabricate false account books are going to see officials and go to prison. Guanshi Chen did this in the restaurant. After so many years, don't you know?"
Chen Guanshi's face turned pale, his expression flustered, he took a step back, his mustache kept shaking, and he said incoherently: "I don't understand what you are talking about, the account... I didn't do the account back then, I don't know anything about it." Affection--"
Jiang Ning calmed down and said, "It's all signed by Chen Guanshi's own handwriting, black and white, clear and clear, how could he not know about it? Could it be that someone faked Chen Guanshi's handwriting?"
"I, I have other things to do today, so I'm too lazy to entangle you." Steward Chen walked out hastily while talking.
Jiang Ning didn't stop him, but just crossed his arms, watching his flustered footsteps, and left in a hurry.
Although those accounts were done by him and the accountant Wang, how could they dare to swallow half a year's profit of the restaurant with their guts?
Jiang Ning stood at the door for a while, and was about to return to the account room, when he suddenly saw Zhang An and Ding Yu muttering something in front of him, Ding Yu frowned and shook his head, Zhang An saw him, and immediately said: "You Didn't you tell me to go and get scolded? Otherwise, you can send this wine up."
Ding Yu argued: "The wine we sell has always been like this, how can we change it?"
Zhang An raised his eyebrows, he was about to lose his temper, but he restrained himself abruptly, and said in a rough voice: "No, I can't deliver this wine, you can figure it out, why do you want me to offend others? do it?"
The two were in a stalemate when they suddenly heard Jiang Ning asking, "What happened?"
Ding Yu shrank his neck, Zhang An shut up, the two of them stopped talking immediately, Jiang Ning smiled: "Tell me, what's going on?"
Zhang An signaled Ding Yu with his eyes, and Ding Yu saw Jiang Ning also looking over, so he could only lower his voice and say: "The guests at the Gengyin table ordered a pot of Xishi accent."
"No more wine?"
Ding Yu immediately shook his head: "There is wine...just..."
Zhang An couldn't understand his stammering, so he simply answered it himself, saying, "This wine can't be sent up."
Jiang Ning was surprised: "Why?"
Zhang An replied: "Xishi accent is the most expensive drink in our place. The guest said, we can't fool him, or we will look good on us."
Jiang Ning immediately glanced at the big wine jar behind Ding Yu, and asked, "Is there a problem with the wine in our restaurant?"
This time Ding Yu nodded honestly and said: "Yes, there is a problem. When this wine was delivered to the restaurant, it was mixed with water. If it is delivered, I'm afraid..."
Jiang Ning frowned slightly: "Why do you want to buy wine mixed with water?"
Ding Yu lowered his voice and said: "The wine is the same as the vegetables. It is bought by Liu Guanshi. This wine has its own problems. If it is mixed with water, it will turn sour after a few days. Therefore, the wine in our restaurant is sold every few days. If you want to buy it once, it will be a year."
Jiang Ning was silent for a moment, and told Ding Yu, "Solve this matter first, and then you can pay the money from Wang's account immediately, go out and buy wine, and come back quickly."
Then he said to Zhang An: "Go to the guest and delay the time. You must wait until Ding Yu buys the wine."
Both of them responded, and hurriedly split up and went to work.
Jiang Ning thought for a while, opened the wine jar of Xishi accent, scooped a spoonful of wine from it, took a small bowl, tasted it, and frowned, the wine was very weak, basically only a little The smell of wine is in it, so it can't be regarded as wine at all.
Immediately afterwards, he tasted all the wines, only to find that the taste of Xishiqiang was still the strongest, and the rest were probably mixed with seven or eight parts of water in one serving of wine. It can also be sold, and it has been sold for more than a year. The customer is not mentally retarded, so how could he come back again?
Jiang Ning put down the bowl, pondered for a moment, Ding Yu had already bought the wine and came back, sweating profusely and said to him: "Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, I bought it, authentic Xishi accent."
Jiang Ning responded and ordered: "Weigh it out and let Zhang An deliver it to the guests."
After Zhang An brought the wine back, he said that the guests were very satisfied, and didn't say much.
Jiang Ning thought for a while, and said to Zhang An: "Go and tell the other waiters that from today onwards, if there are customers ordering wine, just say that the restaurant will clean up the wine cellar in the past few days and will not serve wine for the time being. We will talk about it later."
Zhang An responded, and Jiang Ning said to Ding Yu, "Where did Guanshi Liu buy wine?"
Ding Yu replied: "It's a wine shop in the north of the city. The price of their wine is extremely low, but the quality..."
Jiang Ning nodded to show he understood, and then asked, "How long have you been selling wine?"
Ding Yu chuckled, and replied: "My family used to be a wine shop, but after the wine shop was closed, I came out to work. I dare not say anything else. I have been selling wine for ten years at least."
Jiang Ning said with a smile: "In that case, you can go out with me in the afternoon."
In the afternoon, Jiang Ning took Ding Yu to the north of the city. The two walked around the market a few times and turned into an alley. After walking a few steps, they smelled a faint scent of wine. Walking further inside, the aroma of the wine immediately became stronger, as if all the air in this alley was stained with the aroma of wine.
Ding Yu looked at the shops on both sides of the alley, and said a little excitedly: "Our family's former wine shop is also here, but it was demolished later."
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Do you know which one here makes the best wine?"
Ding Yu chuckled, and said bluntly: "Of course it belongs to our family."
He thought for a while, then sighed again: "The distillery has long since disappeared, so it's useless to talk about it. The current wineries are probably the best wines in Zhaoji Distillery and Liu Weng Distillery."
Jiang Ning nodded: "Then let's go to these two wineries."
Ding Yu pointed to the front and said, "It's right in front, with two wineries facing each other diagonally, so it's easy to find."
The two walked a few steps, and they saw a Zhaoji wine shop, with wine flags waving, and a man unloading a car at the door, saw someone stopped at the door of the wine shop, wiped the sweat from his head, came over and asked: "Two Do you want to buy wine?"
Jiang Ning nodded and asked, "Can I have a look?"
The man enthusiastically said: "Of course, you two please follow me."
