Chapter 665: Chapter 665: Got Smashed Chapter 665: Chapter 665: Got Smashed Over half a month had passed, and the dozen or so jars of fruit wine that Su Yunjin had brewed were ready to be consumed. Since there was nothing pressing at the shop, Su Yunjin planned to deliver the fruit wine to Fuman Building.
Now, by sending the fruit wine to Fuman Building for sale, not only could she earn a substantial amount of silver, but more importantly, Su Yunjin hoped that selling this batch of fruit wine through Fuman Building would help promote her product.
By the time she opened her own shop, everyone would know that the fruit wine sold by her was the same as what was sold in the town’s largest tavern, Fuman Building. Surely, everyone would be convinced to buy it,
and would come to purchase her fruit wine.
In the past, whenever Su Yunjin went to Fuman Building to sell fruit wine, Gu Ya would accompany her, but this time, Su Yunjin went to Fuman Building to sell fruit wine on her own, as Gu Ya was busy doing accounts at the tavern and couldn’t accompany her. After repeatedly instructing his little wife to be careful, Gu Ya left for the tavern.
Su Yunjin had hired an ox cart in advance. With Gu Ya not there and each jar of fruit wine being quite heavy, Su Yunjin, a woman, couldn’t carry them herself, so she gave the driver a few more copper coins to help load the dozen or so jars onto the ox cart. With the prospect of making money, the driver was more than willing to help Su Yunjin move all the wine from the house onto the cart.
Last time, Fan Wenxuan had seen Su Yunjin at Fuman Building and learned that Su Yunjin would occasionally go there to sell things. In order to plot against Su Yunjin, Fan Wenxuan also made frequent visits near Fuman Building. Having done this for half a month without any sighting of Su Yunjin, he began to think that the servant’s words from Fuman Building were meant to fool him. Cursing his bad luck, Fan Wenxuan ran out of patience and decided not to continue waiting near Fuman Building to catch Su Yunjin off guard.
However, just when Fan Wenxuan was about to give up, he unexpectedly spotted Su Yunjin sitting on an ox cart, pulling a cart full of wine to Fuman Building. His eyes narrowed dangerously, and he quickly retreated to a spot where Su Yunjin couldn’t see him.
While Su Yunjin sat on the ox cart, Fan Wenxuan saw her,
but Su Yunjin didn’t notice Fan Wenxuan. As usual, after getting off the ox cart, Su Yunjin took out some silver to pay the driver. Of course, with so many jars of fruit wine on the cart, Su Yunjin still planned to pay the driver to help her carry them to Fuman Building. Before that, however, it was necessary for Su Yunjin to go to Fuman Building to give them a heads-up.
The servant and manager of Fuman Building knew Su Yunjin, but not the driver, so if Su Yunjin allowed the driver to deliver the fruit wine to the tavern directly, the people of Fuman Building would definitely not accept the wine delivered by the driver.
She first had to give notice, letting the people of Fuman Building know that the fruit wine was sent by her through the driver. That way, they wouldn’t stop the driver from delivering it.
Entering Fuman Building, Su Yunjin first found Manager Liu and told him she had brought fruit wine. Upon hearing that Su Yunjin was there to deliver fruit wine, Manager Liu immediately arranged for servants to move the wine.
Manager Liu, having tasted the fruit wine before, had been eagerly waiting for Su Yunjin to deliver the wine to Fuman Building. Finally, the wait was over.
Manager Liu took it very seriously and personally arranged for people to move the wine. Su Yunjin followed Manager Liu outside, only to see the driver running over hastily from outside Fuman Building.
“It’s bad, it’s bad, the wine on the cart has been smashed!”
The fruit wine has been smashed?
Su Yunjin immediately rushed outside and saw that the entire cartload of fruit wine had been shattered, with the wine flowing all over the ground, and the jars smashed to pieces.
