052: Selling wine in a pawnshop (Part 2) [First order requested]
"Wine jar? Is Wulang good at drinking?"
This is hard to see.
Wulang has a face with a wild temperament. Just because he is too handsome and looks like a boy or a girl, he gives people the impression of being a teetotaler. But good wine is not a big deal. In today's troubled times, the atmosphere is heroic, regardless of gender. Young and old alike can enjoy a few drinks.
A good drinker can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.
Shen Tang was about to answer, but got stuck again.
By the way, how's her drinking capacity?
"Wu Lang, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Shen Tang was inexplicably distracted and her expression was in a trance, Chu Yao called her back to her thoughts.
Shen Tang shook his head.
Having your memory stolen is so troublesome.
She said depressedly: "I'm not feeling uncomfortable, I'm just wondering about my drinking capacity... I don't seem to be able to drink well?" As a homebody painter, her drinking capacity should not be much better.
Chu Yao burst out laughing when he heard this, and secretly thought that only a young man of this age would care about such a trivial matter. He was so proud of himself but also thin-skinned, and was afraid that he would be laughed at by others because he was a light drinker.
He comforted tactfully.
"Nothing is too much, and moderation is the best. Drinking is pleasant, but drinking too much is harmful to the body. Wulang is just growing up, so it doesn't matter if he drinks less. When he gets older, it won't be too late to practice his drinking."
Shen Tang: "..."
I always feel like the two of them are not talking on the same channel.
As soon as the market opened, there was an endless stream of cars, horses and pedestrians. The vendors with fixed stalls set up their stalls early to sell and shout, while the salesmen with stalls walked through the streets.
Chu Yao led his mule and motorcycle to a stop in front of a familiar wine shop. Not far away was the butcher shop where he often bought water. Occasionally, people who knew him greeted him, and he nodded in response.
Chu Yao: "The wine in this restaurant is quite authentic."
Most of them are liqueurs with a sweet taste, which should be more in line with Xiao Langjun's taste. The key is that the price of a bottle of wine is not expensive.
Shen Tang said: "I don't buy wine, I buy wine jars."
Only buy the wine jar but not the wine?
This is strange.
Chu Yao didn't know what Wu Lang wanted to do, but he didn't ask in detail. He took him to another store not far away, which was engaged in the pottery business and also sold wine jars. The wine jars of the previous wine shop were purchased from this store. He knew exactly what the price would be.
Shen Tang looked at the goods and ordered ten earth-brown wine jars with round bellies. The jars were round and the bottom was only about the size of a palm.
Chu Yao finally couldn't contain his curiosity.
"Why did Wu Lang buy the wine jar?"
"Selling wine! It's a pity that the jar is not exquisite enough, otherwise it would be packaged as high-quality wine, designed to deceive rich people and take advantage of them."
Chu Yao asked: "Wulang still has the skills to make wine?"
"No, but I can give anything a try."
Chu Yao's smile gradually became stiff: "???"
Give it a try???
He then watched Shen Tang buy a long wooden bench and found a random street corner to sit on. Wine jars were placed one after another, and he looked at some of them selling wine on the counter.
But Chu Yao knew very well that the wine jar was empty.
How do you sell wine here?
Shen Tang took out a small carving knife from the pouch on his waist.
The small carving knife moved like an arm in her hand, and in a short while, the big word "wine" was carved on the wooden board.
With a clang sound, she put the wooden sign on the stall and stood it up.
Chu Yao watched from the sidelines, wondering what his "destiny" wanted to do - was it selling wine or selling air?
Even if it is filled with water, it is more decent than selling air.
Passers-by couldn't help but cast some surprised or curious glances here - the most important thing is that the size and skin color of the motorcycle are too eye-catching, the second is that the painting style of Shen Tang and Chu Yao is incompatible, and finally that picture A simple wine stall.
Others watched with their own eyes as Shen and Tang came out of the pottery shop and knew that the wine jar was empty and not even filled with water.
"Little lady, what are you selling?"
I took the initiative to ask when I was free.
Shen Tang said: "What I sell is wine."
A passerby pointed to the wine jar and said, "But it's empty."
"It's empty now, but if you want to buy it, it will be full. A jar of wine will cost two pounds and three hundred cents, no matter the price!"
Passers-by laughed angrily when they heard this.
Not to mention that the price is more expensive than old wine from a wine shop. Even if it is cheap, who would be willing to spend 300 yuan to buy a jar of air or water?
"Little lady, are you suffering from hysteria?" The passerby said to Chu Yao without waiting for Shen Tang's answer, "Old man, don't accompany your granddaughter to go crazy. We still have savings at home. Go to the street drugstore to have a look at your brain. Go there. Morning, maybe we can save him."
Chu Yao: "..."
He couldn't understand what Wu Lang was doing, but he didn't intend to stop it. He just wanted to know what kind of medicine Shen Tang was selling in his gourd.
Ah, no, it’s the wine sold in the wine jar!
"Little lady, how do you sell this wine?"
Shen Tang sat on a simple pony, holding her chin with her hands and watching the passers-by. Just as she was thinking about whether to say something, a figure blocked the sunlight above her head. She and Chu Yao looked at the same time, waiting to see who was coming. His appearance made him secretly say that he was so handsome.
The person who came was indeed a handsome and outstanding young man.
Judging from the appearance, he has just passed the age of Dancing Elephant.
Although the cloth material on his body is very ordinary, his long hair is tied up with red ropes casually, his wrists are tied with black ropes, his waist is tied with coarse cloth, and his feet are wearing straw sandals, it is still difficult to hide the nobility around him. Because of this, his skin color is white and his speech is neat. How do you look at it? They are not something that ordinary people can raise.
Looking at this person's appearance, his nose looks like a hanging gallbladder, and his lips are greased. The most outstanding thing about the whole face is undoubtedly the pair of peach blossom eyes that look like a smile but not a smile. There is obviously no arc at the corners of the lips, but looking at those eyes, it always feels like the young man is smiling. , seeing her cuteness, she suddenly felt friendly.
Chu Yao looked at the 16 or 17-year-old boy in front of him, and then at the empty wine jars on his Wulang wine stall.
I suspect he has the word "taken advantage of" written on his forehead.
Shen Tang came to his senses and asked: "Do you want to buy wine?"
Teenager: "Can't buy it?"
Shen Tang said: "If you can buy it, you can buy it. Of course you can buy it. A jar of wine is two pounds and three hundred yuan at the same price. Do you really want to buy it?"
The young man took out a piece of broken silver from his purse.
It was placed on the wooden bench with a clatter.
Full of boldness: "Buy!"
Chu Yao: "..."
Passers-by watching the excitement were also chattering in low voices.
Unexpectedly, there are people who are stupid enough to spend too much money to buy empty wine jars.
Shen Tang weighed the corner of broken silver and put it into his pocket with satisfaction. He raised his hand to grab an empty wine jar. Before he could make any move, the young man stretched out his hand and said, "Little lady, you want to sell me the empty wine jar?"
After saying that, he turned around and looked in a certain direction behind him.
Wrinkled face, aggrieved: "How can we do business like this?"
Shen Tang asked funnyly: "When did I say that I would sell you the empty wine jar? You are an interesting young gentleman. Since you are worried that I will sell the wine jar short, why do you still "generously donate" and be deceived? Aren't you afraid of losing both money and wine?"
Chu Yao secretly tugged on Shen Tang's sleeve.
He pursed his lips at the young man's waist.
Shen Tang was puzzled at first, but when he looked closer, he found a dark tiger-head jade hanging on the young man's waist. There were dark golden patterns on the jade, and when he looked carefully, it turned out to be small seal characters. But this jade and his clothes The colors were too close, so I didn't notice them immediately.
Shen Tang: "..."
The courageous tiger talisman.
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
No wonder you don’t have to worry about being cheated.
If he really wanted to be defrauded of money, I am afraid that the young man would destroy the stall on the spot, beat the profiteer severely, and eliminate harm for the people.
The young man didn't know Shen Tang's mental activities, so he looked eagerly at the wine jar in her hand and urged: "Little lady, where is my wine?"
Shen Tang snorted.
Stimulate the literary heart.
He read: "Be generous when you are generous, and be unforgettable when you are worried."
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Generosity should be shown as generosity, and worry will be unforgettable: The next sentence is Boss Cao’s famous saying.
It stands to reason that I should write a testimonial for its release. In fact, I had a lot to say before, but when it came to its release, I couldn’t say anything. Regarding this new book, Shiitake itself doesn’t have much confidence.
Although the inspiration for its birth was early, the actual writing was when it was hit the hardest a while ago. In short, looking at it horizontally and vertically, I feel that I am overwhelmed. Unexpectedly, I still made it to the day it was put on the shelves. Looking at the collection data, it seems that it is not enough. It’s too shabby. Thank you everyone for your support and love. I even saw a super old old reader’s ID in the chapter review of the new book. It’s really hard to describe the feeling at that moment. Thank you everyone, there is nothing I can do in return, I can only update. (The subject of the new book is very important to me. The mushrooms in the science department are really difficult, and the plot arrangement is not smooth. Fortunately, I am getting better and I am slowly finding my hand.)
PS: The theme of the new book is an old theme. Some readers said it was novel or something, and Shiitake is really ashamed. In fact, the inspiration came from the Confucianism and Taoism that I read a long time ago. When it was serialized, Shiitake was always followed. The opening and article design It's really amazing. I remember that I had been following it for a long time, and I was inspired to write an ancient text about how to follow the elements, but I always put it aside. It's fate to pick it up again now.
PPS: There will be five updates on the first day of release. This is the first update, and there will be four more updates during the day.
