Chapter 496

Xu Yin couldn't laugh or cry when she received the brocade box.

"Did you really return the gift?"

After opening it, I was shocked.

The magistrate's wife gave her a set of pure gold hair masks inlaid with seven-colored gemstones.

Mrs. Liu gave her a night pearl.

"..."

This is too precious!

Xu Yin supported her forehead.

"Is shopkeeper Zhang still there? Please go back the same way."

"It's absolutely impossible!" Xu Kui persuaded, "The girl returned it because she felt it was too valuable and deserved to be ashamed, but the wives of the two families might not think so, they might feel that the girl didn't give them face."

"..."

In the end, these two treasures remained.

Xu Kui's analysis makes sense. Even if she wants to return, she should come to the door in person and explain the reason clearly before returning. It is not formal to ask shopkeeper Zhang to return it on his behalf, and it is easy for them to misunderstand - they thought you looked down on them and brushed them off. face it.

But now that she is in mourning, it is not convenient for her to visit her.

After thinking about it, I can only wait for the spring of the next year, when roses and jasmine bloom, extract a few mixed essential oils, and give them to them.

She absolutely dare not give away perfume.Unless a wine strong enough to make a perfume is brewed.

This made her ponder over there if she had nothing to do—should I buy a brewery and provide a vodka recipe to try?

She remembered that vodka was also made from grain, potatoes, corn, barley, rye, but it was distilled.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this plan is feasible. As long as vodka is brewed, is the mass production of perfume still far away?

"Zi Yuan, tell the nurse to go to Xujia Village and give this letter to Xu Kui. Let him not have to go up the mountain to report to me, and just go back to Los Angeles to buy a winery after reading the letter. I need it."

"Yes, girl."

So, Xu Kui went back to Luo City that day, and when it was dark in the city, he went back to Xu's Mansion first.

The old butler wondered why this kid returned home at this time?Could it be that something happened to the girl?
Xu Kui truthfully said that the girl asked him to come to the city on business.

"Buy the winery? What does the girl want the winery for?" The old butler thought of the wine that the girl asked him to buy a while ago, stroked his beard and thought, "Could it be that the girl is using wine to relieve her sorrow?"

He originally thought that the girl used wine to worship the master and wife.

Xu Kui didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Father, where are you thinking! The girl is such a disciplined person, how can she drink alcohol during the filial piety period? The girl said fasting, so she really didn't eat a single bite of meat. We are servants, every day There are also eggs to eat, and the girl has never even touched an egg."

"But the girl just asked me to buy wine a few days ago, and now she asks you to buy the winery. What are you doing?"

"The girl is thinking about the family business. Oh, I told you that you don't understand! Anyway, the girl is doing business!"

Hearing what his son said, the old butler didn't ask any more questions.

The next day, Xu Kui was still sleeping when his father woke him up: "Kui, the girl told you to go back to the city, not to let you come to the mansion to sleep. Get up quickly! Get things done early and go back to the girl soon." Serve by your side."

Xu Kui rubbed his sleepy eyes and muttered, "Father, I never got up so early in Xujia Village..."

"So you've been slacking off, haven't you?" The old housekeeper looked around, saw the feather duster, and took it as a gesture to hit him, "I asked you to follow the girl, run errands for the girl, what are you doing? Ah? Lazy sleep Dajue?"

"I was running errands." Xu Kui was full of grievances.

He was really running errands, running up the mountain and down the mountain, down the mountain and up the mountain; Xujia Village ran to Liulifang, and Liulifang ran to Xujia Village.Most of the time, I have to run two or three times a day, and my legs are thin from running.

But having said that, my physical strength is much better than before.Now he doesn't cough all the time.

The old man said that his cough was caused by the cold when he was a baby, and he thought it would never get better in this life.Unexpectedly, after running with the girl for several months, it turned out to be healed!

"Then run and show me! Still not getting up?"

"Get up! Get up now!"

Xu Kui was yelled up from the bed by his father, and after eating a few mouthfuls of breakfast, his father kicked him out of the house to help the girl find a wine shop.

I ran to several companies, either they were unwilling to transfer, or the scale was too small to meet the girl's requirements.

Xu Kui thought that today he might not be able to complete the task assigned by the girl.

At this time, a man wearing a black cloak came from the end of the alley, his voice was cold and deep: "You want to buy the winery?"

"Ah? No, no, it's my master's house."

"Come with me."

"..." Xu Kui reacted, "Dare to ask the strong man, which winery do you belong to? Maybe I know."

He inquired about many houses back and forth, and almost broke his leg.

"Crane Year Hall."

"Huh?" Xu Kui was dumbfounded.

Crane, Crane Hall?

Isn't that a winery dedicated to delivering tribute wine to the capital?
Judging from the scale, it does meet the requirements of the girl.

However, this is a tribute wine shop, how could it be willing to change owners?
However, when he dubiously followed the man in the cloak into the carriage at the entrance of the alley, all the way to He Nian Tang in the east of the city, seeing the owner of the winery politely presenting the title deed of He Nian Tang, his jaw almost dropped to the ground in shock.

"Wait, wait, how much do you want?" Xu Kui boldly asked the other party with the remaining rationality, and he couldn't afford it if it was too expensive.

"How much is the general transfer price of an ordinary winery?" The winery owner stroked his gray beard and asked with a smile.

Xu Kui: "..."

Is this for him?

He said 100 taels of silver, is he willing to make a deal?

wake up!This is Gongjiu Distillery!Is it so out of line?

I don't want the other party to say with a smile: "You don't need to be stressed, He Nian Tang in Luo City, there will be no need to offer tribute wine in the future, and the old man also intends to return to his former residence, so he transferred it."

"Oh I got it!
Xu Kui breathed a sigh of relief.

Since it is no longer a tribute wine shop, he will not be polite.

"Ten taels?"

"...That's a little too little." The wine shop owner said, glancing at the man in the cloak.

Xu Kui looked innocent: "..." Didn't you ask me to make an offer?
Finally, 500 taels were sold.

Although the purchase price was higher than the purchase price of an ordinary small winery, Xu Kui couldn't help jumping for joy when he thought that the other party used to be a famous winery that produced tribute wine.

The girl must be very happy when she finds out, right?

Look at how lucky he is, he met noble people when he went out, and he picked up a great deal!
Xu Kui carefully put the land deed into his arms, and happily went back to the mansion to announce the good news to his father.

The wine shop owner closed the door and kicked at the cloaked man.

"Stinky boy! Not to mention the loss of 500 taels of silver for nothing, he even gave me a favor."

The man in the cloak turned slightly, avoiding his master's chain legs.

The owner of the wine shop was so angry that his beard rose wildly: "Forget about the favor, you give me back the money! Nine thousand and five hundred taels, not less than one tael!"

"No money."

"No money? You? Who are you fooling!"

"I have no money. I'm just a prostitute now."

After the man in the cloak finished speaking, he jumped out of the wall and disappeared into the alley in an instant.

"Stinky boy..."
