Ants exploded, I opened a power plant to supply power to the world

Chapter 147 Chapter 146 The first batch of wine produced in cooperation with his uncle is shipped out, and Lin Zhe named it "Hutu Niang"

"An Internet cafe? Why don't you think of opening a foot massage parlor?"

After hearing Lin Zhe's teasing, Zhang Chen just smiled and continued to drive the car attentively.

Lin Zhe was also thinking in his mind that if the customer service center was moved to the second factory now, and there would be other supporting departments at that time, the number of people would definitely exceed a thousand.

For a large company with so many people, the entertainment and leisure facilities for employees can indeed be enriched.

It's unrealistic to count on the nearby village or something. You can't possibly want to open a foot massage parlor in the village just because of these thousand people, right?

Lin Zhe also knew that the nearest village was quite far from the factory, and it would take more than ten minutes to ride an electric bike there, which was not very convenient.

We can open a small supermarket in the factory in the future, as well as a billiard room and a small Internet cafe. This will be convenient for the employees and they will have a good place to relax after work when the factory is not closed for holidays.

……

The car drove through the rural roads of Lincheng and arrived at my grandmother's village.

After the previous few times, it was no longer surprising for the villagers to see this scene.

After Zhang Chen picked up some gifts prepared in the trunk and handed them to Lin Zhe, he returned to the car.

It’s not that he didn’t want to carry Lin Zhe’s things in, but he was a sensible person and he wouldn’t get involved in Mr. Lin’s family affairs. Besides, this Bentley was not cheap.

If you put it in the village, you are bound to encounter some naughty kids and so you have to keep an eye on them.

……

"Xiaozhe is back, mom, Xiaozhe is back!"

My aunt was also very happy when she saw Lin Zhe. She hurried over and took the supplements that Lin Zhe brought for my grandmother.

Now my two nieces are still studying in the primary school in town and haven't come back yet, so there are only my grandmother, my uncle and my mother-in-law at home.

"Xiaozhe, come sit inside. I'll cook for you what you like."

"Don't bother, auntie. I've already had breakfast."

After Lin Zhe said this, his aunt had no choice but to give up. She then took out her cell phone and hurriedly notified Lin Zhe's uncle.

Now that he was here, Lin Zhe would definitely stay for a while and chat with his grandmother. Although his grandmother didn't understand those things, she nodded happily after hearing Lin Zhe say that there was no problem with the company.

This person can't help his children much when he is old, so he can only hope for the best for his children.

……

At the village winery on the other side, Jiang Zimin was shoveling grain with a shovel. Distillation was going on in the brewing workshop and it was steaming hot. He was sweating profusely after picking up the tools and working for a while.

In such a high temperature, Jiang Zimin wrapped himself tightly for fear that sweat would drip in. Although a little impurity would not have any effect, he still chose to do so.

I bought three sets of clothes because I work in the workshop. I wear clean ones every day when I go to work in the workshop.

Even Lin Zhe's aunt teased him, saying that she had never seen him so clean before, but now he takes a shower and cleans himself up before working every day.

"Zimin~Zimin~"

Hearing the shouts outside, Jiang Zimin put down the shovel, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a white towel, and walked out.

"What are you doing? Why are you here in the factory? Wait until I finish my work before you tell me what you want."

As long as you work in a workshop, you generally have to finish your work first. Otherwise, when you walk out of the workshop and go back to continue working, you will have to change into new clothes and maybe even take a shower.

Anyway, Jiang Zimin is quite strict with himself in this regard.

"I called your cell phone but you didn't answer. I guess you left your phone outside and couldn't hear it, so I came to call you. Xiaozhe is back and is sitting at home with mom right now."

"Hey, Xiaozhe is back. I'll go back first."

As he spoke, Jiang Zimin simply tidied up the workshop, then locked the door and walked out quickly.

……

At his grandmother's house, Lin Zhe was chewing on a pig's trotter while chatting with his grandmother, talking about things from his youth.

Lin Zhe doesn't think that people talk more because they are old. It is more likely that the children are older and come home less often, so they seize this opportunity to talk a lot and make up for the time when the children are not at home.

Sitting on the edge of the yard, Lin Zhe saw his uncle coming back with his aunt from a distance.

Wow, I don’t know where my uncle got this set of white work clothes, but it looks quite authentic.

When he came in front of Lin Zhe, beads of sweat were hanging on his body and his clothes were obviously wet with sweat.

Now that winemaking has become a large-scale business, it is naturally not as simple as before.

In the past, we would brew some homemade wine to drink during the New Year, and a few dozen kilograms would be enough.

Nowadays, a cartload of grain can easily weigh thousands of pounds, and it’s very hard for one person to carry it.

"Uncle, you can't do this job by yourself, ask for some help."

"It's still unclear whether this wine can be sold. I'll do it alone for now and hire someone later if the situation permits. Xiaozhe, you sit here first while I change my clothes and wash my face, and we'll talk later."

……

If you walk from the yard to the east end of the village for a few minutes, you can see the factory building. It is actually a steel shed, and it looks pretty good.

Before he even reached the door with his uncle, Lin Zhe smelled a strong smell of wine lees. After sniffing a few times, Lin Zhe was intoxicated. The smell of wine lees made of pure grain was very fragrant.

When he arrived at the door, my uncle took out a pair of new boots and a new coat.

"Xiaozhe, put this on. Even though it's our own, we must be careful about the hygiene."

My uncle is such a rough guy, but he pays so much attention to details and you can see that he really cares about it.

After putting on their equipment with a smile, the two of them pushed open the door and walked in. At first glance, everything that should be there was there. It was just that my uncle had expanded his own winemaking techniques, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Then the two of them went all the way to the bottom of the wine cellar, where the first batch of wine, totaling more than 2,000 kilograms, was stored. As soon as they went down, the aroma of wine hit their noses.

Moreover, the wine here is stored in old-fashioned large wine barrels, which looks really good.

"There are only so many in this batch. The main thing is that we haven't sold them yet and I'm not sure. If they sell well, I'll brew more. You can try it and see if it tastes the same as before?"

After hearing what his uncle said, Lin Zhe didn't hesitate. He picked up a spoon, opened a jar and scooped some out. After taking a sip, he nodded.

"Yes, that's the taste. I'm happy to drink something with a low alcohol content. It's light and refreshing, and comfortable."

When Lin Zhe said this, his uncle naturally grinned happily, and then pointed to the wine jar next to him.

"The alcohol content you are drinking is low, only 36 degrees. I also brewed a higher alcohol content wine next to it, 47 degrees, which is also pure grain wine."

……

After coming up from the wine cellar, Lin Zhe discussed with his uncle and decided that this batch of wine could be canned and then handed over to Lin Zhe.

Two thousand kilograms is not a lot, and it’s not easy for me to find connections to help, so I’ll just put it into the market and see the reaction.

Lin Zhe is responsible for the selection and packaging of the wine bottles, and my uncle just needs to focus on making wine.

Lin Zhe will not save money in this regard. After all, although the packaging is more expensive, people nowadays pay attention to appearance, right?
Whether you drink it yourself, give it as a gift, or entertain friends and relatives, the quality will naturally improve if it is well packaged.

Moreover, Lin Zhe believed from the bottom of his heart that the wine brewed by his uncle was indeed good wine, and good wine needed to be paired with a good bottle.

Before leaving, the uncle gave Lin Zhe an account book.

"Xiaozhe, I made two copies of this account book. I'll keep one and give you one after a while. I know you trust your uncle, but we'll do what we have to do."

Since his uncle said so, Lin Zhe did not refuse and took the account book with a smile.

The account book is very detailed, recording every detail related to the winery.

……

A week later, my uncle had the first batch of wine delivered.

The packaging is very good, but the price is not very expensive. It is called "Hutu Niang", which is the name given by Lin Zhe.

My uncle was full of praise for the name. This thing really was brewed in a muddle, and when it comes to drinking, the purpose is to be confused.

The low-alcohol liquor of 36 degrees sells for 39 yuan a bottle, and the cost is just over 20 yuan.

The other one is the 47-degree one, which is sold for 59 yuan a bottle, and the cost is about 30 yuan.

According to my uncle's idea, we can't sell so many, but Lin Zhe believes that the price represents the positioning, so it is better to set it a little higher in the initial stage.

After the wines were delivered to Lincheng, Lin Zhe was not in a hurry to sell them. Instead, he asked his mother to take them to his family's small supermarket to try them out first.

……

Jiang Lan is in the store today, so she will naturally promote the wine that her brother and son have worked together to produce.

Not only did she place Hu Tu Niang in a prominent position in front of the cash register, she also prepared small disposable paper cups. She planned to have customers who often came to buy wine just open a bottle and give each of them a cup to try.

After all, they are all gourmets. If they taste that the wine is good, the reputation will naturally spread.

Just as they were ready, someone came to the store. It was Zhao Dasan, Lin Zhe’s neighbor in the old community. He bought the wine not to give to others, but to drink it himself.

"Hey, Lao Zhao, you came just in time. I have new wine in my shop, brewed from pure grains. Do you want to taste it?"

Hearing this, Zhao Laosan looked at the packaging of Hutu Niang in front of the cash register.

"Okay, I'll try it. The packaging looks pretty good. It's not cheap, is it? It's too expensive for me to afford."

"Thirty-nine per bottle of low-proof. That's not expensive, right?"

“You won’t know whether it’s expensive until you try it.”

Zhao Laosan took the disposable paper cup handed over by Jiang Lan and knew with just a move of his nose that the price was really not expensive.

Then he took a sip and gulped down the food, which confirmed his conclusion.

"This price is really good. The taste is not inferior to those fine wines that cost hundreds of dollars, and the packaging is also high-end. This is it. I'll buy two bottles of this when I invite people to dinner at home tonight."

The store opened as soon as the products were put on the shelves, and Jiang Lan was very happy.

"Okay, help me promote this wine later. I'm the only channel in Lincheng that can buy this wine right now."

Jiang Lan spent half a day selling the liquor in the store. By the time the clerk came to take over the shift at noon, she had already distributed the entire bottle of Hu Tu Niang. Basically, all the old customers said it was good after drinking it.
