Jiang Ying picked up the bamboo tube and took a small sip. “That’s right. I once drank such wine at a palace banquet. It’s fruit wine from foreign countries. At that time, General Zhenbei also drank it and even embarrassed himself because he was greedy.”

Thinking of the palace banquet, Jiang Ying couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Hearing Jiang Ying mention Ning Feng, the smile on Ning Yue’s face lessened.

Jiang Ying could tell what she was thinking and quickly changed the topic. “Yueyue, are you planning to buy this wine from a foreign country and sell it here?”

“Not really. I know how to make and sell wine so I’m asking for you to help me,” Ning Yue said.

Jiang Ying looked at Ning Yue in surprise. She knew how to do everything. She was amazing!

“Yueyue, you’re really amazing!” Jiang Ying said.

Ning Yue smiled. She liked to hear praise from him.

“Don’t worry. I’ll help you think of a way to get the land. What position do you want and how big do you want it to be?” Jiang Ying asked.

“Let’s do it in Laifu Village. I want to set up a brewing place in town and a planting place in Laifu Village.”

“Wouldn’t you need a lot of people to plant, brew, and sell it? Do you have enough people?” Jiang Ying asked.

He knew that Ning Yue had set up an oil press and almost used up all the labor in the original Ning Family Village. Did she still have people to do things?

Ning Yue nodded. “I plan to hire female workers from the entire Laifu Village to do it because we have to pay attention to the quality of the wine from planting to brewing. A woman’s meticulousness is the most suitable.”

“But will they be willing to let the women at home come out to work?” Jiang Ying frowned.

“It depends on whether the salary and publicity are enough. Women can actually create value that is not lower than yours. What men can do, women can do,” Ning Yue said.

The status of women in this era was too low. She had to do something to make people take them seriously.

Ability determined status. If she wanted to improve the status of women in this era, she had to show them their value.

Her first step was to set up a winery. She would plan the rest later.

Hearing Ning Yue’s answer, Jiang Ying was very shocked. He had an idea in his heart. That was about it.

He did not favor boys over girls. It was his subconscious belief that women usually did not go out to work, but he had forgotten that Ning Yue was not an ordinary woman. If not for Ning Yue, he would not know how to earn money.

Before Ning Yue appeared, he would fail every time he did business. After meeting Ning Yue, his slowly became rich.

“By the way, Yueyue, what are your plans for the sale of wine?” Jiang Ying asked.

“I plan to make two packagings of wine with the same taste and quality. One is ordinary packaging, and the other is premium packaging. The former can be affordable by ordinary people, and the latter can be sold to rich families. They should be happy to buy better packaging.” In this era of harsh class differentiation, she would make different packages according to the psychology of people of different classes.

She wanted to change the situation, but her ability was limited. She could not instill the idea of equality in others at once. Therefore, she could only start with what she could do and improve the status of women at home first.

Food had to be eaten bite by bite. The path had to be taken step by step.

Jiang Ying nodded repeatedly. “Indeed, selling it like this will create greater value.”

He especially agreed with Ning Yue’s idea. When the time came, Ning Yue could make more exquisite packaging. He could bring it to the palace and specially provide it to the palace.

“I’ll have to trouble you with the land,” Ning Yue said.

“Don’t worry, leave it to me,” Jiang Ying promised.

After returning, he asked his subordinates to hurry up and buy the land and do what Ning Yue had instructed them to do.

When Ning Yue returned home, she discussed brewing wine with the Ning family.

“You want to use female workers?” Old Master Ning looked at her in shock.

“Yes, women are meticulous and I have higher requirements for brewing wine. I can pay them five taels a month. If they do it well, I can give them a few extra copper coins.”

“What about management? Someone has to manage such a big winery, right?” Old Master Ning asked.
