Chapter 45: Selling Wine (I)
The next day, Lu Yu moved out a few jars of wine by the wall, and after putting them all on the cart, Shu Chen took out the room and said, "Xiao Jiu, I'll go with you." ”
The two pushed the cart and came to the largest wine alley in the county.
Found the most prosperous business in the whole street, the guy heard that the two were here to sell wine, looked at the two people who were poorly dressed, and sneered: "What good wine can you two have?"
Lu Yu opened the wine jar, and a fragrant peach smell mixed with the aroma of wine wafted into the air.
The guy who deals with all kinds of wine every day couldn't help but swallow his saliva, remembered the shopkeeper's instructions during the day, waved his hand and said: "What kind of thing are you, our house is the largest tavern in the city, and it's not a mess." ”
"You haven't tasted this wine before, how do you know it's not good?"
Lu Yu's tone was a little skeptical, she didn't dare to say what she could brew, but she dared to guarantee that this fruit wine had never appeared in the county now, and this guy refused indiscriminately, which was really unreasonable.
"Hey, you ugly girl, what do you mean?"
The man raised his voice abruptly, attracting the attention of the customers in the museum.
Lu Yu was not annoyed: "I just think, you don't want my wine if you haven't tasted it, and the price of my wine is not expensive, if you don't accept it, don't regret it." ”
"Poof. This drew a disdainful sneer from the guy: "Little girl, do you know where we are drunk? I can't find a second tavern of this size in the county, we have been dealing with wine every day for many years, and we can see at a glance whether the wine is good or not, you thing go to the street to see if you can give it away for free." ”
The man's words caused a burst of laughter in the store, and Shu Chen frowned and said, "If you don't accept it, why are you so arrogant?" Xiao Jiu, let's go!"
After Lu Yu and Shu Chen left Zuizhuxuan, they ran a few more stores, and the results they got were the same.
The guy who was drunk and humiliated by Zhu Xuan just wrapped his hands around his chest, leaned against the door and whistled: "I said it, no one will accept your, I don't believe it." ”
Lu Yu ignored him, and said to Shu Chen: "It's just that one family doesn't accept it, so many families don't even want to try, there must be a problem!"
Shu Chen suddenly remembered that yesterday, Zhang Lingling suddenly came to him, Uncle Zhang seemed to be in the business of transporting wine in the county, and he had also made some contacts over the years.
"Xiao Jiu, this matter has nothing to do with the Zhang family, let's go find a wine shop to sell it. ”
"No! The winery is supposed to provide goods to the tavern, and if our wine is sold to the winery, we won't even be able to get the capital back. ”
Just when Lu Yu was at a loss, a young man's voice came from the side: "How do you sell this wine?"
Lu Yu and Shu Chen turned their heads to see that it was a young man of about fifteen or sixteen who spoke, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and two small tiger teeth when he smiled.
Lu Yu hurriedly said, "Eighty copper plates and one altar." ”
"I'll buy two jars and try them, let's move them to my store first. ”
Lu Yu and Shu Chen moved the two jars of fruit wine to the Qimu Pavilion on the side, and Lu Yu smiled: "There is no one who accepts our wine in the whole street, and if you accept it, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to sell it?"
"If the wine is good, I'm not afraid that it won't be sold, my family's business is not very good, how much can I lose with two jars of wine?" the young man said indifferently.
Lu Yu glanced at the young man and smiled: "Don't worry, our wine won't be unsold." ”
Throughout the day, Lu Yu and Shu Chen only sold two jars of wine, and in the afternoon, Shu Chen frowned and said: "Xiao Jiu, if you can't sell it, forget it, with me, my family won't say anything about you." ”
Lu Yu thought about it, found a porcelain shop, bought two exquisite white porcelain wine jugs, and hid them on the bottom plate of the cart.
"What are you doing here?"
"You'll know when you go back, don't tell your family yet. ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you. ”
After the two pushed the rest home, the Shu family's faces darkened.
"You sold it for a day, and then you sold two jars out?" Shu Wang sighed heavily and said, "Xiaomei is right, you shouldn't expect Li Xiaojiu to make any money." ”
Seeing that Lu Yu's wine was not sold, Shu Duofu's family of four was secretly happy in their hearts, and Li Mei feigned anger and said: "Li Xiaojiu, why are you so useless? I thought you could save Ah Chen." ”
"What does it matter to you if she can save me?" Shu Chen blocked Li Mei's mouth with a cold face, and took Lu Yu's hand back to the room.
Lu Yu smiled helplessly: "No wonder your eldest uncle's family hates you, your temper is really big enough." ”
"I only have a good temper with my mother and grandmother, and in the future, I will treat you with the best temper. ”
When Shu Chen said this, a pair of peach blossom eyes looked at Lu Yu seriously, Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, realizing that he was actually amazed by a child's beauty, he coughed a little awkwardly twice, and turned his head: "Ah Chen, do you know if there is anyone in our village who knows the nobles in the county? For example, whose lady and miss?"
"Nope. Shu Chen said: "Except for a few businessmen in our village who know a few businessmen in the county, few people in our village know nobles, what are you asking for?"
Lu Yu sighed, and remembered the previous life in her mind, when she first returned to Lu Mansion, she clumsily pleased her father and mother, and at Prime Minister Lu's birthday banquet, she had studied a snack, which was stolen by Lu Wanjun halfway, and took the lead, and after winning the appreciation of her father, that dim sum was popular in Huajing for a while.
At first, Lu Yu couldn't figure it out, it was just a plate of dim sum, and there were countless delicious pastries in Huajing, but later I realized that the focus was not on that plate of dim sum, but because of Lu Wanjun.
Because Lu Wanjun is the first talented woman in Huajing, others will naturally think that there is something special about the dim sum she makes, if those people know that the dim sum is actually made by Lu Yu from the countryside, they are afraid that they will dirty their mouths if they eat it.
Although I think about it now, although I feel ironic, Lu Yu also discovered the trick, if her wine is changed to a beautiful porcelain bottle, so that the nobles in the county will like it, the price will not be the same as in the past.
Now you have to find a way to get in touch with the nobles in Beijing and spread the reputation of the wine!
In the early morning of the next day, Lu Yu half-squatted in the corner and looked at a few jars of wine, studying how to sell it.
It happened that Shu Ning Shuqing walked out of the house with a yawn, and when she saw such a scene, she couldn't help but sneer: "Li Xiaojiu, shouldn't you still be worried that your broken wine can be sold for money?"
"Don't dream, our family's medical expenses for Achen have been very hard over the years, how can you possibly, it's better to leave these wines at our house to drink. ”
Thinking of the sweet and fragrant taste, Shu Qing swallowed her saliva, but she didn't want to admit that Lu Yu's wine was good anyway.
After all, she and her sister can't, what kind of wine will Li Xiaojiu, a slut, make?
Lu Yu ignored the two sisters, and after the Shu family went to work in the field, they took out the two white jade porcelain bottles they bought yesterday, poured a bottle of peach wine, and after a bottle of wine, they went to the county seat alone.
Most of the rich and noble families in the county are in South Street, and it happens that the largest commercial street in the county is also here, and many ladies and ladies will pass through here.
Lu Yu found a vacant space, put two pots of wine on the ground, and shouted, and after a while, a group of well-dressed girls came, and at first glance they were the daughters of rich and noble families.
Lu Yu hurriedly said, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to buy wine?"
