Chapter 1256: Chapter 1256: What to Do if the Secret Recipe is Leaked

"Yunjin, the business at Zuixiang Restaurant is good, and we sell a lot of fruit wine. If I were to make the fruit wine alone, I definitely wouldn’t be able to handle it. I’m considering hiring someone to help us make the fruit wine, what do you think?"

Gu Ya laid out his plan directly.

Hiring someone?

It sounded good.

But if they hired someone to help, wouldn’t their secret recipe be leaked? The fruit wine recipe was the fundamental basis of their earnings.

Because no one else in this place knew how to make fruit wine, their business was flourishing. The saying ’scarcity adds value’ was literally exemplified as they dominated the market alone.

If the recipe were leaked, and everyone could make fruit wine, how could they still earn money? "Husband, if we hire someone, won’t our wine-making secret be revealed?"

Gu Ya had considered this issue long before and wouldn’t have suggested it if he didn’t have a complete strategy.

"Yunjin, don’t worry! I have a way. Even if we hire someone, our secret recipe won’t be leaked." Gu Ya was very confident in his manner of speaking.

Su Yunjin became interested, "Husband, what good method do you have?" It was hard to predict human nature, and no matter whom they hired, they couldn’t guarantee complete secrecy.

Gu Ya said he had a method.

And he said it with full confidence.

Su Yunjin was curious what Gu Ya’s method might be.

"Yunjin, what is the most crucial step in making fruit wine?" Gu Ya asked instead of answering.

Su Yunjin blinked, "Is that even a question? The most crucial step is obviously the ratio of sugar to water. If the ratio isn’t right, the wine won’t taste good... Oh, husband, I understand now." By the end, Su Yunjin suddenly had a realization.

Seeing his wife grasp the concept, Gu Ya smiled and said, "Yunjin, we’ll bring workers in to help with the simplest initial steps. For the vital subsequent steps, we’ll handle them ourselves. This way, we don’t have to worry about the workers leaking our secret recipe, right?"

If they only let the workers handle the simplest initial steps, their secret recipe wouldn’t be leaked. Moreover, she and Gu Ya would be able to save a lot of effort.

Su Yunjin strongly agreed.

"Husband, let’s do as you suggested." To make fruit wine, the simplest initial steps were handling the fruits, peeling and cutting them, placing them into wine jars, and adding water—all tasks they could assign to the workers. There were absolutely no issues there, nor were there any concerns about the workers leaking the fruit wine recipe.

The workers would handle the simplest steps, and she and Gu Ya would then take on the final step: adding sugar at a precise ratio to the wine jars for the fruit wine to ferment.

Gu Ya knew his wife would agree, "Yunjin, tomorrow I’ll go and select workers." He wasn’t worried about the workers revealing the fruit wine recipe.

But, when selecting workers to help them make the fruit wine, careful selection was still necessary. Nothing else was as important as character and diligence.

He would choose strong, earnest men to assist them. Su Yunjin watched Gu Ya intently, making him feel slightly uneasy.

Unable to help it, Gu Ya had to ask.

"Yunjin, why are you staring at me?" If his wife’s gaze had been ordinary, Gu Ya wouldn’t have felt anything unusual.

His wife looked at him with eyes like those of someone obsessed with wealth, yet he wasn’t silver. Her gaze made Gu Ya somewhat uneasy.
