Chapter 740: 740 Earn big money 3

“No problem.” Su Qingyue readily agreed.

“What a missed opportunity.” Shopkeeper Duan shook his head, his face full of regret. “Having nothing else to do, I’ll leave first.”

“I also have some fine bayberry wine for sale,” Su Qingyue said, “I wonder if you are interested?”

Shopkeeper Duan paused. “Can bayberries be made into wine?”

“Yes.” Su Qingyue said, “Please follow me.”

The group walked into the hall.

Su Qingyue spoke to Tao Meijiao, “Can you please get three cups and a small spoon for serving the wine?”

Tao Meijiao motioned to the maid Du Juan.

Du Juan then left the living room, and when she returned, she was carrying a tray with four cups on it.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Third brother, pour four cups of wine.”

Xiao Yuchuan opened the wine jar beside the chair and filled three cups halfway with the wine.

Su Qingyue motioned for Tao Meijiao, Shopkeeper Duan, and Jin Xun to each hold a cup.

The three tasted the wine. Jin Xun took a sip and said, “Aromatic and full-bodied, this is good wine!”

Tao Meijiao also praised it nonstop, “Unique flavor, indeed, it’s a good wine.”

Shopkeeper Duan also nodded continuously, glancing at Jin Xun, “It seems that Big Boss Jin also likes this wine. With you here, there’s no way I can compete with you.” He then asked Su Qingyue, “I almost forgot, I heard you had acquired a lot of fresh wild bayberries recently, everyone was wondering what you would do with the sour and astringent wild bayberries, and it turns out it was to make wine. How much of this wine do you have and how do you plan to sell it?”

“Two hundred cents per jin. I have 2,500 jin and plan to sell it all at once,” she said indifferently. “For those who like wine, they’re willing to pay a high price. My bayberry wine is also one of a kind in the world before the bayberries are grown on the mountain next year. Not for retail, whoever can afford it can buy it. If not, I don’t mind keeping it.”

“Two hundred cents per jin is too expensive… Not many people can afford it, you should know that waiters who run errands only make three hundred cents a month, and regular wine costs only ten cents per jin.” Shopkeeper Duan shook his head as he listened, “And you want to sell all 2,500 jin at once, that’s too much… ”

“Yes.” Su Qingyue admitted as well, “For ordinary people, it’s unaffordable. But for the powerful and rich, it’s nothing. From my purchase price of two hundred cents per jin, big restaurants, especially high-end ones like Drunken Immortal Pavilion, can easily sell it for half a tael or one tael of silver per jin. A total of more than 2,500 jin is not enough to sell. Like it or not, buy it or not, it doesn’t matter. The longer the bayberry wine is stored, the better and richer it becomes.”

Tao Meijiao considered for a moment, “The clientele of our restaurant and inn is not as high-class as the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, so I’m afraid it’s hard to consume such good wine. Even if some can afford it, the sales volume might be too low. In case the mountain grows new bayberries next year and the wine is not sold out yet, it would be a loss. Even though this is a good wine, if I were to buy a few dozen or a few hundred jin to test the market, I might consider it. But 2,500 jin in one go, I have to pass.”

Shopkeeper Duan nodded, “I have the same considerations as Miss Tao.”

Su Qingyue glanced indifferently at Jin Xun, “What do you think, Boss Jin?”

“I was just worrying about not having a new variety of wine with a good taste,” Jin Xun pondered for a moment and said. “Send all 2,500 jin, and once the wine has been weighed, come to my Drunken Immortal Pavilion to settle the bill. There are not many carts of wine. Let’s just waive the delivery fee, shall we?”
