Chapter 42 - An eyesore!

"Dad!" Liu Yusheng lowered her voice and winked at Liu Dalin behind her, motioning for him to move forward.

She had made a good start, and the rest would be left for Dad so he could learn something useful.

Liu Dalin quickly stepped forward and sat next to Liu Yusheng, looking nervously at the small version of Maitreya, "How does it taste, Young Master?"

Little Fatty was in no hurry at all. He swallowed and then slowly savored all the wine in the cup before saying, "The taste is okay."

"This wine tastes really good, not that I'm boasting. It's hard to find this kind of wine that makes you feel good all over in the whole of Nanling. If Young Master feels up to it, shall we talk now?"

"I'll take the wine, name a price."

Liu Dalin's heart was jumping with joy. He ruthlessly suppressed his agitated emotions and said, "5-500 Wen a jar!"

"500 Wen? Are you kidding me, Uncle? In Xiangshan, the best wine sells for less than 500 a jar. What are you trying to do? I'm not going to suppress you on the price, 150 Wen a jar. You can deliver the wine in now, I'll take it all!"

150 Wen? The price went down more than half and he was saying that he won't suppress them?

Liu Dalin took a deep breath.

Nannan said that they were selling the wine to give people money, not begging for it, so they couldn't act inferior.

Most importantly, no price cuts! Otherwise, it would spoil their wine!

"Our wine not only tastes good, and is suitable for both men and women, but it also has a toning effect on the body and nourishes the spleen and stomach. If consumed over a long period of time, it regulates the blood and qi!" Repeating all the words that Nannan had taught him before, Liu Dalin gritted his teeth: "500 Wen, not a penny less!"

"A man whose heart isn't content is like a snake which tries to swallow an elephant. Uncle, it's bad for people to be too greedy." Little Fatty narrowed his small eyes, cold light flashing, and the shrewdness within revealing the true appearance of the young boss.

"Dad, let's go! The people in the county are so bad. They look down on people, and they keep trying to bully us!" Liu Yusheng jumped off the chair, hugged the wine jar, and dragged her father out in one fluid motion: "We're obviously sending them profitable opportunities, yet they're acting like they're giving us charity! Huh! We're the only ones who have this wine, but there are thousands of buyers! We're not gonna let him get to us!"

"Nannan is right! We're the only ones with this wine, but there are thousands of buyers! Let's go!" Liu Dalin replied loftily, and the two marched out, true to their words.

Little Fatty was dumbfounded. He hadn't even fully shown his strength yet. Why did it suddenly turn out like this?

Hmph, that little girl, she's got a temper just like him!

"Stop-stop-stop, you guys!" Little Fatty jumped to his feet, "Da Huang, stop them!"

Da Huang, the waiter, shut the door neatly, stopping the two from leaving.

The little fatty also jumped down from the chair, fat as a ball, but his movement was sharp. When he approached, he took Liu Yusheng back, smiling like Maitreya Buddha. "Look at your quick temper. Naturally, business is business. If you're not satisfied with the price I'm offering, we can negotiate. It's not the style of a businessman to walk away with just one wrong word, don't you agree?"

At the round table, Liu Yusheng threw away his hand and hugged the wine jar warily.

The little fatty was embarrassed and coughed, "Okay, okay, I'll take this wine, 500 Wen, not a penny less! But you have to guarantee that you'll only sell to me. Okay, let's do it now! Sign the paperworks and I'll pay the money in full! What do you think?"

The sudden change of heart was a bit too much for Liu Dalin to handle: "Young Master, do you really want to buy it?"

"Of course, I do! I, Qian Wanjin, have always kept my word. I stand by my word!" He would regret it for the rest of his life if he didn't buy this grapefruit wine! This was a tribute wine! It has never been produced by anyone but the Great Powers!

"Okay, okay, then it's sold!"

"Wait, no paperwork, it's a one-shot deal!" Liu Yusheng said crisply, "Our family didn't make much wine this time, so we can sell it all to you at once, but the paperwork won't be signed. It's too much trouble! We won't do anything that's disadvantageous to us!"

"…" The little fatty glared at Liu Yusheng and gritted his teeth.

How old was this baby? How come she had more tricks than him, who's been nurtured by his family? She was such an eyesore!

"Although we won't sign any paperwork, as long as this deal is done, I can promise you that if our family makes wine again in the future, we will sell it all to you first. Even though our family is from the countryside, we know how to write the word credit. We deliver on a promise!"

"Nannan speaks for us!" Without waiting for the little fatty's eyes to sweep over, Liu Dalin immediately stated his position.

"…Fine!" If he didn't agree, the little girl might really turn around and walk away.

He, Qian Wanjin, has always walked undaunted since birth, yet his first defeat was in the hands of a little girl.

Wow, she was capable!

Following the little girl down the stairs and seeing the wine jar on the ox cart, Qian Wanjin frowned, "That's all?"

What was this enough for? It wasn't even enough to get a share of publicity!

Liu Erlin was so excited when he learned that all the wine had been sold that he couldn't even speak straight: "This is all we brought with us on this trip. There's more at home! It's over 2,000 catties! 4-4,000 jars! Do you want all of them, young master?"

"Nonsense, of course I want all of them." Qian Wanjin rolled his eyes. More than 4000 jars? He still thought it was too few.

"There's a total of 100 jars of the wine you drank just now in the car. Here you go, 50 Taels." Liu Yusheng's white and tender palm stretched out in front of the little fatty, "The wine at home hasn't been dispensed yet. Give us five days. After five days, send someone to fetch it."

"You're going to let me pay for the wine I drank?" Qian Wanjin said in disbelief. So that meant she was unwilling to spend money even for her sales pitch?

Liu Yusheng blinked, "You drank that too, little brother."

"…Da Huang, pay up!" Gnashing his teeth, he wished he could pinch this girl's face!

"And a deposit!"

"Here you go!!"

Liu Erlin and Liu Dalin both marveled on the side. Their family's Nannan was too clever, knowing how to ask for a deposit first even when the Young Boss' head was smoking in anger.

Awesome!

The ox cart was cleared out, and with 50 Taels of silver plus 500 Taels deposit, the family went on their way filled with joy.

"Brother, my house is in Xinghua Village. When you come, ask where the house of the blessed baby is and you'll know where it is!" On the ox cart, Liu Yusheng turned and waved at the little fatty, her smiling face as brilliant as the sun.

Qian Wanjin's small eyes blinked and left his mouth twitched: "Why are you smiling like that? Does the sun belong to your family? Blessed Baby, my foot!"

Then he walked back into the restaurant.

Da Huang followed after him, "Young Boss, should we send someone to follow them? In case they're crooks…"

Qian Wanjin's footsteps paused: "No need."

500 Taels of silver, he could afford to gamble!

On the way back, Liu Dalin and Liu Erlin couldn't stop smiling, happy and excited at the same time, while also sighing deep within.

Within a half day's work, they've gone through expectation, frustration, anger, and then at the darkest hour, they tasted the joys of success.

Through this experience, they find out for the first time that the sky in the world they used to live in was too narrow.
