Chapter 711: Chapter 711 What a Pity Chapter 711: Chapter 711 What a Pity “Miss Su, Young Master Gu, there’s no need for you to worry,” the butler reassured them. “The house servants from the Chu Residence have already set out in pursuit, and it shouldn’t be long before the one who fled is captured as well.”
The butler offered words of comfort.
Today, Su Yunjin felt fortunate to have saved the fruit wine and to have captured all the troublemakers who tried to smash the jars. The perpetrators had been dealt with, and now the priority was to move all the fruit wine to the Chu Residence.
To prevent any further mishaps.
“Uncle, I think we should move the fruit wine to the Chu Residence first!” Su Yunjin suggested.
The butler agreed, but at that moment, Gu Ya turned to him and asked, “Would it be possible for your residence to lend a couple of house servants to help us take these captives to the Governor’s Office?”
Having these people here was an eyesore, especially the one who wet his pants – it was like polluting his wife’s line of sight. Gu Ya thought it best to send these people away first. The butler looked at the ruffians and gave a signal with his eyes to the house servants of the residence, who then understood and stepped forward to seize a few troublemakers and send them in the direction of the Governor’s Office.
After dealing with the troublemakers, the butler finally arranged for people to start moving the fruit wine. Initially, Su Yunjin and Gu Ya planned to ask the hired coachmen to help them with the move.
But, well! Now that the butler of the Chu Residence had arranged for house servants to move the fruit wine, Su Yunjin and Gu Ya no longer needed to arrange for the coachmen to help them.
The five or six carts of fruit wine were not too little but also not too much. About twenty house servants were moving the fruit wine, and soon, carts of fruit wine were all moved to the Chu Residence.
The last two jars were of pickled fish sauce that Su Yunjin was gifting to Young Master Chu for tasting. Young Master Chu had previously instructed the butler that Su Yunjin would deliver one hundred and sixty jars of fruit wine.
Unaware that Su Yunjin had sent an extra two jars of pickled fish sauce, the butler, upon finding the surplus, said, “Miss Su, you have delivered two extra jars of fruit wine. We’ll have to trouble you to take these two back.”
With a smile, Su Yunjin said, “Uncle, the two extra jars are not fruit wine. They are jars of pickled fish sauce I’ve included as a gift for your young master to try something new.”
Upon hearing Su Yunjin’s explanation,
The butler was about to respond when Su Yunjin continued.
“Your residence purchased so much fruit wine from me; consider these two extra jars of pickled fish sauce a token of my sincerity. I hope the Chu Residence will not disdain them.”
Understanding that the two extra jars were a bonus from Su Yunjin, the butler smiled, “If that’s the case, I shall express our young master’s gratitude on his behalf right here and now.”
“No need for thanks,” Su Yunjin said, waving her hand with a smile. These extra jars may look like a gift, but the silver Young Master Chu paid was more than enough to cover the cost of buying these two jars of pickled fish sauce too.
Contented, Su Yunjin mulled over it internally.
The remaining two jars of pickled fish sauce were also quickly moved into the Chu Residence after Su Yunjin’s explanation. As for the silver paid for the fruit wine, aside from the initial deposit,
There was still one thousand taels left.
Actually, according to the prices at which Su Yunjin sold to the Fuman Building, the fragrant type of fruit wine cost ten taels of silver per jar. Young Master Chu had ordered eighty jars, which should have been eight hundred taels of silver.
The sweet type was six taels of silver per jar, also totaling eighty jars, which should have come to six hundred taels. However, Su Yunjin, remembering how Young Master Chu had once helped her teach Fan Wenxuan a lesson and considering him her first major customer, discounted a hundred taels on the price per type of fruit wine when they first negotiated.
Therefore, the total Young Master Chu had to pay Su Yunjin was only twelve hundred taels.
