Wanjin Lady

Chapter 244 The lion opens its mouth

Although he didn't know what Wen Wan was going to do tonight, Zhu Wang had a hunch that this demon was not holding back his fart well.

This girl is very smart and clever. You will definitely have a good life if you follow her.

Wen Wan curled her lips into a smile and tilted her head to ask Zhu Xuewang, "Shopkeeper Zhu, do you know all this?"

Zhu Wang snorted twice, "Do you think I've been drinking for nothing these past few days? I was just gathering information for my brother Wen!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Wan slammed the teacup onto the table, splashing tea everywhere. The scalding hot tea scalded Zhu Wang's thighs. Zhu Wang gritted his teeth, held down his thighs and endured it.

Then he glared at Wen Wan.

Damn it, you can pretend to be cool if you want, but why do you want to hurt me, Old Zhu?
"Let's go, let's go. Anyway, I just want to talk to Brother Lei tonight about selling the Rui fruit syrup recipe—" Wen Wan looked like she had said something wrong just as she finished speaking. Shopkeeper Xu was stunned and asked, "Shopkeeper Wen wants to sell his house?!"

These words immediately attracted the attention of Zhang's grandfather and grandson. They stopped and did not move forward or backward, feeling increasingly embarrassed.

They can't stand Wen Wan, but they didn't say they can't stand money.

The recipe for Ruiguo pulp... The wine merchants are all guessing how much this recipe is worth, and they all say... it must be worth at least a thousand taels of silver.

Although everyone in the Chen Dynasty was familiar with the "Eight-Step Winemaking" method, each family had a different recipe and the resulting wine tasted different, especially for medicinal wines and fruit wines. A mistake of a millimeter could lead to a huge mistake.

As soon as the Narui fruit syrup was presented at the cocktail party, experts naturally understood the value of this recipe.

The Chen Dynasty was not short of people with sharp business acumen. Many wine merchants who tasted the Ruiguo pulp that day, like Manager Xu, immediately discovered business opportunities.

This sweet fruit syrup... is perfect for the ladies in the backyard!

The Chen Dynasty has always had a tradition of drinking. From the palace to the common people, in all walks of life, whether it is a wedding or a funeral, the host will prepare wine and drinks. This is undoubtedly a huge market.

This is also the reason why Manager Xu refused to refund the deposit despite the risk.

Wen Wan stood up and bowed to Shopkeeper Xu. "To be honest, Shopkeeper Xu, today's dinner... was originally intended to ask you to be the middleman and witness. My family has been in trouble and urgently needs money, so I can only sell the recipe."

Everyone present knew about Wen Wan's story of saving her father, and they mostly believed it. Only Shopkeeper Xu advised, "This recipe can ensure food and clothing for several generations. Miss Wen... don't let your impulses ruin the Wen family winery. This is a serious matter, you must ask Shopkeeper Wen for his opinion!"

"I've made up my mind!" The young lady said with a determined look. "Besides, the prescription is in my hands. To save my father... I'd be willing to give up even ten prescriptions! Thank you, Shopkeeper Xu, for your kindness, but... there's no need to persuade me!"

The wine merchant surnamed Lei slammed the table and laughed, "Shopkeeper Wen is very decisive!"

But he thought in his heart: This girl is so reckless. Even if she sells the prescription, can she rescue Wen Weiming?
Innocent!

The case is settled, how can we overturn it?

Use money to smooth things over?
As expected, he came from the poor place of Ping County. He had never seen the world and didn't know that a case in which a death sentence was overturned would not make any difference even if thousands of taels of silver were thrown in!
Shopkeeper Lei was delighted, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Wen, for your consideration. Please sit here..."

The wine merchants who were about to leave also pulled back and returned to their seats with a smile. "Since Shopkeeper Wen wants to sell the house, why not take out the recipe and let everyone judge it and help estimate the price? Don't sell pearls as fake eyes!"

Wenwan glanced at the person who was speaking.

Oh, you want to trick her into giving you the recipe?
However, Shopkeeper Xu knew that the Zhang family's grandfather and grandson were moved, so he simply dragged them back to their seats, "Uncle Zhang, the girl from the Wen family is young and has no control over her words. She didn't mean it. At your age, don't bother with a child. Take a seat quickly."

The old man of the Zhang family took advantage of the situation and sat back in his seat. He then called out to his anxious grandson, "You sit down too."

Since Wen Wan wants to sell her son, how can the Zhang family be absent? They can't let Lei Laowu's family dominate the market any longer!
Wen Wan didn't say anything, but Zhu Wang spoke first to smooth things over.

He has to speak. This Yaksha comes prepared tonight. Don't sell him out with just a few words!

"How can I give you this recipe in advance? Since ancient times, it's been a principle of hand over money and hand over goods. If I show it to you, what if someone shameless enough steals it?"

Several wine merchants who had been bullying Wen Wan for her youth and inexperience laughed, "Boss Zhu, you think too highly of us. How can we remember the entire recipe just by looking at it once? We are just trying to help Boss Wen out of good intentions."

"Yes! They all mean well..." Wen Wan pretended to take something out of her sleeve, "I can show it to everyone."

Zhu Wang was dumbfounded.

Bah!
Yaksha, what on earth are you going to do?
You only know how to cheat pigs and not others, right?
Zhu Wang's eyes almost twitched from winking, but fortunately he heard two voices coming out one after another.

"No!"

"No!"

Wen Wan looked in the direction of the voices and saw that it was Shopkeeper Lei and another shopkeeper surnamed Wang who were talking. This shopkeeper surnamed Wang had been very quiet from beginning to end. In the previous dispute, he had not assisted Wen Wan or the Zhang family grandfather and grandson. He was obviously just watching the fun. Only just now...

The expression on his face was even more anxious than that of Manager Lei.

Shopkeeper Lei said with a threatening face, "Since Shopkeeper Wen just said he wants to do business with me, Lei, if your prescription is shown to others, then there is no need for us to continue the discussion. I, Lei, am not willing to pay for a piece of waste paper."

"Ah..." Wen Wan showed a frightened expression, as if she had not expected it at all.

Shopkeeper Lei's face was clearly filled with dismay.

This woman...is indeed not suitable for doing business!
Shockingly stupid!

It's a pity that the Wen family winery fell into the hands of such a woman who has no talent for business!

When Wen Wan came into the room, she was so impressive that he thought he had met a smart woman.

Wen Wan quickly assured: "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Lei, I won't show it to anyone!"

Seeing that his plan had failed, the Zhang family's shopkeeper asked, "How do you plan to sell this recipe, Shopkeeper Wen?"

"I'll sell it to whoever pays the most. Anyway, I need money urgently... Oh... yeah... and I need someone who pays quickly... but don't let me do anything big."

"How much do you plan to sell this recipe for?"

Wen Wan glanced at Zhu Wang with an indecisive look, and Zhu Wang said: I've had enough.

Zhu Wang then saw the young woman's eyes gradually narrowing, clearly indicating she was about to slaughter another pig. With a startled thought, he quickly spoke, "Didn't Shopkeeper Wen already say we'll sell it to whoever offers the most silver? A recipe is worth a thousand taels of gold. This recipe for Ruiguo Juice...it's got to be at least three thousand taels, right?"

Three thousand taels?
Damn, you’re so bold to ask for such a high price!
Why don't you go and grab it!
Zhu Wang naturally dared to ask for a price. If he couldn't see that Wen Wan was not going to sell the house tonight, he would be a pig!

Since you don't plan to sell it, then just tease everyone for now.

As expected, Shopkeeper Lei flew into a rage upon hearing this: "Three thousand taels? How dare you ask that!"

Zhu Wang smiled and said, "Business is always a slow process. I can't just ask for a few hundred taels and let my niece suffer a loss, right?"
