Chapter 784: Chapter 784: Wait and See Chapter 784: Chapter 784: Wait and See Gu Ya had not signed a contract for a collaborative business with that group of crafty foxes. Although relieved, Su Yunjin soon began to worry, “Husband, if the fruit wine doesn’t drop in price, won’t we then be unable to sell it?”
At the beginning of opening the shop, Su Yunjin was full of confidence. She believed the fruit wine she made was delicious, and the promotion was adequate. After opening, Su Yunjin thought she would be collecting silver every day from selling the fruit wine but had not expected to encounter a series of problems. First, customers complained the fruit wine was too expensive, and now Gu Ya’s business negotiations had failed.
Su Yunjin looked at the shop brimming with bottles of fruit wine and worried. If they really couldn’t sell it, then her only option would be to lower the price of the fruit wine.
Otherwise, was she to keep all the fruit wine in the shop for herself to drink?
When his little wife suggested lowering the price of the fruit wine, Gu Ya had more patience than she did and advised her not to rush, “Yunjin, we can wait a bit before we talk about reducing prices.”
Did Gu Ya have a better plan in mind? Su Yunjin looked at Gu Ya, “Husband, what do you mean by that?” Gu Ya had tasted the fruit wine made by his little wife.
The fruit wine was mellow and tasted better than any rice wine he had ever had. After all, if something tasted good, people would buy it, it was just a question of how many.
The little wife and his shop had only just opened, and one bad day did not signify much. In Gu Ya’s view, they could afford to wait a few more days.
First, why not see how the business does over the next while? Besides, Gu Ya planned to try even harder by asking a few more inns to secure more collaborative deals for his little wife, “Yunjin, on the first day we opened, we sold quite a few jars of fruit wine. People who tasted your fruit wine and liked it will surely come back for more. It’s only been one day, and with a few more days’ wait, the shop’s business should gradually improve.”
Su Yunjin had been hasty and had not thought everything through, but after hearing Gu Ya’s words, she too felt they made sense.
As the saying goes, good goods will sell themselves. The fruit wine she brewed was fragrant and delicious, and no one who had tasted it had said it was bad. With such fine wine, surely there would be buyers.
Moreover, her price was not too expensive, just costlier than half of the rice wine available at the market. There was still a significant portion of people who could afford the fruit wine from her shop.
With that in mind, Su Yunjin decided to listen to Gu Ya and wait a while longer.
At least another month or so.
One or two days were simply not enough to determine the final fortunes of the business.
After a month, if the fruit wine still had many people finding it too expensive and unwilling to spend the money, then lowering the price wouldn’t be too late.
If, after a month, there wasn’t a shortage of buyers, she would stick to the current price. Taking advantage of the current lull in the business, Su Yunjin planned to find time to visit Master Chu’s mansion and return the congratulatory gift he had given her. Otherwise, with time passing,
it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to return it later.
After some thought, Su Yunjin decided the sooner she returned it, the better.
“Husband, I would like to return the congratulatory gift Master Chu sent us tomorrow,” she said. Since it had to be returned, doing it tomorrow meant Su Yunjin wouldn’t have to think about it anymore.
When his little wife mentioned going to Master Chu’s mansion the next day to return the congratulatory gift, Gu Ya instinctively said, “I’ll accompany you.”
