Chapter 394: Three hundred and ninety-four good wine good leek_1

Early the next morning, after his wife had driven to work and also dropped their daughter off at kindergarten.

Gu Chen also arrived early at Qiwei Vegetarian.

Following behind him was a small tricycle, with a huge porcelain jar in the carriage.

He took out his keys to open the front door of the shop, to find that the two girls who had moved in were already up early.

Even before Gu Chen arrived, they had taken cloths and wiped the shop clean, making it look brand new.

Gu Chen was quite pleased with this, feeling that having employees really made a difference.

Before, he was always too busy to touch the ground, and besides selling buns, he simply didn’t have time to tidy the place up.

But now, he could finally free up his hands to do more things.

However, when he saw Xiao Fang’s face slightly red, he couldn’t help feeling a bit embarrassed.

He scratched his head and handed a bag of food to the two of them.

"I don’t know if you’ve had breakfast yet, but here’s some extra food I made this morning.

If you haven’t eaten yet, let’s try some together."

As he spoke, his gaze shifted to Liu Xiaofang next to him and said,

"Uh, about yesterday, I’m really sorry for singing so badly that I made you cry."

Gu Chen said somewhat embarrassingly.

He never felt that being a boss made him any better than anyone else.

To apologize for something he hadn’t done well was not something he found unacceptable.

However, when Xiao Fang heard him say this, she quickly waved her hands and hurriedly explained to him.

"No, boss, it wasn’t like that... Yesterday, I cried because I was too happy.

I’m sorry, at that time I really couldn’t help myself, and I truly am sorry, boss."

"Really? Is that so?"

Gu Chen saw that her expression didn’t seem to be faked, aside from her face being a bit red, and she always avoided making eye contact with him.

She didn’t appear to be lying to him, which greatly relieved him.

"As long as you’re not angry, that’s good," he thought to himself.

He instantly became cheerful again, after all, today was the grand day of his second opening.

Then he said to the only two employees he had at the moment,

"You guys go ahead and eat, no rush; I’ll go and prepare in the kitchen.

Try to eat plenty, as I expect we’ll be quite busy soon."

As soon as he said this, Gu Chen turned around, lifted the big jar with one hand,

And directly carried it to the large stove in the kitchen.

He then skillfully started the fire and began heating it up.

This jar of rice wine was something he had put a lot of effort into making after returning home the previous night.

For this, he even made an excuse to stay in the System Domain for several days.

After experimenting with several formulas, he finally settled on one.

The wine was brewed with millet as a base and then supplemented with a small amount of Millennium Ganoderma, matsutake, ginseng.

As well as the Spirit Spring Water unique to the space, along with more than a dozen other medicinal herbs.

It took several days of work to completely brew this jar of wine.

Its taste was not only crisp and refreshing, with spiritual energy overflowing, but it also contained a subtle and mellow fragrance.

More importantly, the alcohol content of this rice wine was even lower than that of beer, at around five degrees.

After drinking it, one would not only experience no side effects but also benefit from improved energy and blood circulation, mental clarity, and enhanced constitution.

It truly had many benefits.

Gu Chen was extremely satisfied with his first foray into brewing, having created such an excellent fresh brew.

And he named it "Xunxian Brew."

It could be said that he went to great lengths to ensure the successful transformation of his restaurant.

As the fire under the stove grew stronger, the aroma contained within the wine started to emerge.

A small portion even began to slowly waft through the tightly sealed lotus leaf mud.

By this time, the two girls in the shop had finished their breakfast.

Attracted by the enticing fragrance coming faintly from the kitchen, they both gathered around without prior arrangement.

Cui Hua looked at the large wine jar heating up on the stove with curiosity.

She couldn’t help but ask aloud.

"Boss, what is this? It smells really wonderful," she said.

Gu Chen just smiled and replied mysteriously.

"This is a new wine I’ve brewed, called Xunxian Brew. Don’t look at it as just this one large jar now.

But if we sell it all, I estimate it could fetch at least ten thousand yuan.

This is our shop’s secret weapon for making big money."

As soon as these words were spoken, Cui Hua and Xiao Fang both had their mouths agape with astonishment.

To date, they had hardly ever touched a hundred-yuan note.

Not to mention ten thousand yuan, which, to them, was more than the total sale of a year’s harvest from their families.

And now, the wine in this large porcelain jar in front of them was worth that much.

As they looked back at the jar, there was now a hint of reverence in their eyes.

Gu Chen paid no attention to the girls’ surprise but found a fist-sized bowl.

These were usually used for holding various condiments, which he washed clean.

He then instructed the two of them.

"Remember, if someone wants wine later, serve it in a small bowl like this.

As for the price of one bowl, let’s start at fifty yuan for now.

Only those willing to buy wine can come in and sit down to eat.

If they don’t want to buy, we’ll just sell them steamed buns to take away.

In any case, wrapped in a plastic bag, the food can be eaten anywhere, so there’s no need to have people taking up space inside."

Although our shop is one hundred square meters, it really can’t seat that many people.

As the saying goes, use good steel for the blade’s edge, just choose the customers who can make money and serve them."

Upon hearing this, both girls became serious and nodded solemnly.

It was as if they had received a most sacred mission.

Gu Chen couldn’t help but smile. Seeing that it was about time, he turned off the stove.

He then placed a few thick cloths on top and with a bit of effort, lifted the large jar down.

"Cui Hua, Xiao Fang, go open the shop door. We’re opening for business," he said.

"Okay, right away," they replied.

Each girl hurried out to act on the instructions.

Outside the shop door, a long queue had already formed early on, which was no longer a surprise to Gu Chen and Cui Hua.

However, the newcomer Xiao Fang was somewhat taken aback and intimidated by this sight.

She had never been the focus of so many people’s attention at once.

She instinctively wanted to retreat, but just at that moment,

Gu Chen came out carrying the large jar straight from inside.

Xiao Fang saw his handsome, sunny face, brimming with confidence.

Suddenly, her timidity melted away like ice and snow, and she felt a sense of calm.

Even the long queue in front of her didn’t seem as intimidating as before.

But Gu Chen wasn’t thinking so much about it. He just smiled as he looked at the bustling crowd in front of him.

It was as if he was looking at a field of lush green leeks.
