Chapter 186 Fame
After they drove for a while, Gu Zijing said to the young man, "I think it's her. Her voice sounds familiar to me.
At that time, they fed me sleeping pills, and I was a little confused the whole time. I felt like I had been traveling for a long distance in a car, and I woke up all of a sudden after being pushed into the water. My hands and feet were tied at the time, and when I was struggling, I heard a voice that seemed to say "Bear with it" or "Wait a minute", and then I felt a headache and passed out. When I woke up again, I was at the lakeside and found that the ropes on my hands and feet had been untied. Later, I opened the iron gate and climbed out. "
The man driving the car had heard this process more than once, and each time he felt terrified. He was silent for a while and said, "Dad, let's investigate further."
After they dealt with the thief within, they kept looking for the kidnappers, but they couldn't find any trace of them. So they turned to figure out who saved him?
After a long period of open and secret investigations in this area, there was no news. In the past few months, they often came to Qingyun Lake to fish on weekends, always hoping to meet their savior. Today, they finally got some clues.
Wen Qing thought it was just a chance encounter. After returning, she found the villagers and the orchard keeper to pick apples and pears together. She also bought hawthorns in the village. Changxia Winery now has business dealings with many grocery stores. She contacted them one by one and sold all the pears. She also made all the apples and hawthorns into wine.
After finishing this matter, Wen Qing went to attend the Autumn Sugar and Wine Fair with Liu Quan.
There were more than 1000 manufacturers participating in this Food and Drinks Fair. Wen Qing asked Liu Quan to go there early and asked the organizer for a booth of more than 30 square meters, and also hired a decoration company to design the booth.
Wen Qing arrived before the opening with the products and some staff members, and worked with Liu Quan to customize small gifts, print DMs, and arrange the booth.
Wen Qing told Liu Quan and the staff that this Food and Drinks Fair is the preliminary round for next year's famous wine competition, and everyone must cheer up and strive to expand the reputation of Changxia wine.
She learned that the organizer would add a dealer dinner, and exhibitors could sponsor the wine, snacks and drinks for the dinner for free.
While other manufacturers were still thinking that they were at a disadvantage by sponsoring for free, she immediately found the person in charge to sign up and brought over twenty boxes of Changxia liquor and ten boxes of fruit wine. In order to ensure that these wines could be served on the table, she also gave them red envelopes privately and asked them to put the Changxia liquor in the most conspicuous place.
Wen Qing hired five more beauties, who wore red ribbons and served as waitresses. They stood by the table and poured wine for everyone, but of course not just Changxia wine.
At the dinner, snacks, candies, drinks and alcohol provided by exhibitors were placed on different tables for everyone to use freely. Wen Qing paid special attention to the table of alcohol.
The table where alcohol was placed was filled with white wine, yellow wine, red wine, beer, and fruit wine. The women attending the dinner party didn't care much for white wine and preferred soft drinks or low-alcohol wines, while 80% of the men liked to drink white wine or beer.
Wen Qing held a glass of fruit wine and stood quietly not far from the table, watching the men choose wine.
Sichuan liquor is very famous, so everyone chose it at the beginning, but northerners like to drink light-fragrance liquor, so many people ordered Jin liquor.
At the beginning of the banquet, not many people ordered Changxia wine. Later, people kept coming to ask the waiter to pour Changxia liquor. Wen Qing noticed that there was still a lot of Sichuan wine and Jin wine left on the table.
She was watching from the side, taking note of the number of people who ordered Changxia wine and their comments.
Although the dinner party was unremarkable, Wen Qing felt that she gained a lot, mainly because she got first-hand customer feedback.
During the three-day Food and Drinks Fair, everyone gave Changxia Wine the following evaluation: its light-fragrance wine is as good as Shanxi wine, its strong-fragrance wine is better than Sichuan wine, and its price-performance ratio is outstanding.
Changxia wine became famous and received a large number of orders. The distributors mainly came from eastern Shandong, northeast China, northern Hebei, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Now the fame of Changxia wine has spread to half of China.
Wen Qing quietly packed up her things and returned to Pingjing. Actually, there was nothing much to pack. The one hundred boxes of wine she brought were sold or given away, and they were all consumed. The small gifts were also given away, and the printed materials were distributed on the spot. The booth became garbage after being dismantled. The only thing she could take home was the ribbon. After packing up, she left with Liu Quan and the other workers.
Liu Quan had made a great contribution this time and couldn't help feeling a little proud. After returning, he boasted to Wang Jianguo about how he was so creative in designing the booth, how he debated with many people, how he defeated powerful enemies, and how he won orders from many dealers. Wang Jianguo just nodded and smiled.
Wang Jianguo found Wen Qing. Seeing that he looked unhappy, Wen Qing thought something had happened. Her heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly asked him what was wrong.
Wang Jianguo took out a bottle and said, "Sister Wen, this is the first batch of fragrant wine blended in our new factory. You can try it."
He poured two glasses of wine and handed one to Wen Qing. Wen Qing tasted it and frowned.
Wang Jianguo took out another bottle of Changxia Qingniang, "This is blended with the wine from the old winery. Sister Wen, try it." He poured the wine for Wen Qing, who compared the two and said, "The wine from the new factory doesn't taste as good as the old winery."
Wang Jianguo said: "Sister Wen, you can taste it too, there is a big difference between the two wines."
Indeed, the wine produced by the new factory tastes obviously not as good as the previous ones. It lacks fragrance and is a bit bland. The key is that there is a bitter aftertaste.
Wen Qing's face turned serious and she asked, "Jianguo, what's the problem?"
Wang Jianguo said: "This bottle of wine was recently blended at the new factory. The grain ratio, koji, brewing process and blending technology have not changed, but the taste is different. We compared the entire process and found that the problem may be the water source."
The new factory uses tap water for brewing wine, the source of which is Qingyun Lake, while the old winery uses well water in Wenqing’s backyard.
Wen Qing, together with Wang Jianguo and Wang Guozhang, tested the wine produced in the new factory.
The test results showed that the ethanol and acetic acid content of the fragrant wine produced in the new factory was only slightly less than that in the old winery, but the other ingredients were more than 10% less than that in the wine produced in the first workshop.
Wen Qing's heart tightened, and she asked hurriedly, "How much inventory do we have in the new factory?"
Wang Jianguo said: "We have brewed more than 3000 kilograms of light-flavor liquor, and there are now 100 wine cellars fermenting strong-flavor liquor, and it is estimated that 12 kilograms of liquor will be produced."
Wen Qing said, "The water problem is easy to solve. I'll find someone to dig a well. What about the wine?"
Wang Guozhang said at this time: "Director Wen, there is no need to worry. There is no big problem with this batch of wine itself. It can be used to maintain the wine cellar, or it can be slowly digested and used to blend white wine."
All three agreed to keep this batch of wine separately so as not to affect the quality of Changxia liquor.
Wen Qing immediately found the drilling team and dug four wells in the new factory area. The groundwater level in Pingjing is relatively high now, and there is groundwater 20 meters down. Wen Qing asked them to drill another 10 meters down to ensure the water quality is sweet and pump it up with pipes.
They tested the water quality and found that it was pure, with a pH of 7 and rich in strontium and selenium. The water output from the four wells was relatively large, which was fully able to meet the needs of winemaking.
Wen Qing asked Wang Jianguo to brew wine with well water. After the wine was produced, it was tested again. The effective ingredients were improved compared to before. Although good data does not mean good taste, Wang Jianguo was still quite satisfied.
Next, Wen Qing shuttled between the feed factory and the winery every day. The feed factory had completed the civil construction of the factory area, the workshop had been renovated, and the customized equipment had been installed. The construction team was renovating the office building, installing sewer pipes, electrical wires, and pipes. Once all the roads in the factory area were repaired, it was estimated that production would begin in March next year.
