Wanjin Lady

Chapter 79 Training
Shopkeeper Zhu was very considerate of Yuan Jing. "But if you sell this grain, what will happen to the Cheng family's winery? If they lack grain for making wine... and the higher-ups blame them—"

The Cheng family is no different from other wine merchants.

The Cheng family is a semi-imperial merchant! Their Changchun French wine is even supplied directly to the imperial court!
If we miss out on the Cheng family’s important affairs, it will be a big trouble!

Yuan Jing steeled his heart, "What are you afraid of! Let's go to Bingzhou to make some money first, and then go to the nearby area to collect grain. As long as the timing is right, this transaction will bring in a lot of money. If a man doesn't have some courage and blood, what's the point of doing business? It's better to learn from women and go home to take care of their husbands and children!"

"Brother, the price of grain in Ping County is only fifty coins per bushel right now, but it would be one hundred and fifty coins if shipped to Bingzhou! Our two families have at least several thousand kilograms of grain in total, so we can earn at least several thousand taels just from selling it!" Yuan Jing's eyes flashed, his face crimson and distorted. "This opportunity is fleeting, and it will never come back!"

What Wen Family Winery is? It’s nothing but a barking roadblock!
As long as we stop the Wen family from getting the grain they need to make wine, that bitch won’t be able to do anything!
Wait until he goes to Bingzhou and makes a fortune, then come back and play with that bitch slowly!
Shopkeeper Zhu was also excited by him, and completely dispelled the doubts he had along the way, and immediately became brothers with Yuan Jing again.

What is he afraid of?
After all, he is not from the Cheng family.

Old Zhu sells grain. He sells it wherever the price of grain is high!
"Brother, you're right. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your child. Although the waterway is unsafe right now, with the brothers of the Cao Gang escorting us, I'm sure the food and fodder will be safe along the way."

At this point, Yuan Liulang's face darkened. "Speaking of which... I still need your help on this matter. You know, those women from the Wen family drove up the grain prices, causing me to spend several hundred taels of silver. Now I've spent all the silver I brought from Bozhou, and I'm short of money. As for the cost of the grain transport by the Cao Gang... I'll have to trouble you to advance some money."

Shopkeeper Zhu's face tightened.

"Don't worry, Manager Zhu. My Cheng Family Winery is a royal merchant in Bozhou after all, so we won't owe you these hundreds of taels of silver. We'll split the cost based on the weight of the grain we each escort. Once this batch of grain is sold in Bingzhou, I will return it immediately."

Shopkeeper Zhu thought for a moment and then asked, "How much does it cost to transport grain through the Cao Gang?"

Yuan Liulang roughly counted, "Right now, the Bingzhou area is not peaceful. If we don't have the brothers from the Cao Gang to escort us, the food and fodder will probably be robbed by pirates along the way. We still have to spend some money to save our lives."

Shopkeeper Zhu thought about it and it made sense.

If you have the life to earn money, you also have to have the life to spend it, right?

Besides, the fact that Yuan Liulang borrowed money from him to transport food and fodder was enough to prove that this guy had no intention of leaving him alone to make a fortune.

Besides, the Cheng family of Bozhou...wouldn't come to take advantage of him for such a small sum of money.

It's a very profitable business.

Shopkeeper Zhu smiled, and in his heart, he put aside all the previous grudges. "Okay, okay. As long as Yuan Liulang is willing to help me make a fortune, the rest will be easy."

--------------------------

Under the bright autumn sun, Zhu the shopkeeper and Yuan Liulang's boat headed towards Bingzhou with the hope of making a fortune.

However, the Wen family winery is still shrouded in dark clouds.

As long as there is less grain for making wine, the Wen family winery cannot start production.

The clearance event was carried out with great fanfare, clearing out all the inventory of the Wen family over the years.

Now everyone in Ping County knows that the Wen family winery does not have a drop of wine or even a pot of wine!
In the past few days, the young master of the Wen family simply closed the door of the wine shop and dragged the bored employees to Lingshan behind the winery for training.

A large, shaky enterprise needs to avoid unrest among its employees. Although Wen Wan has streamlined her staff, if her subordinates remain idle, they will inevitably develop other concerns.

Let her practice everything!
When they are exhausted like dogs and collapse on the bed, unable to utter a word, they no longer have the energy to make trouble.

On this day, a carriage slowly drove along the official road. When it passed a village, a sharp-eyed villager called out to Zhang Jiping, "Old Zhang, isn't that your former employer's carriage? Why don't you go up and say hello?" Zhang Jiping was lying on a bamboo chair, basking in the autumn sun, holding a pipe in one hand and teaching his grandson, who was lying on a stone bench, to practice calligraphy with the other.

When Zhang Jiping heard the words "old boss", his face turned red and he waved his hand to drive the man away, "Go away, what old boss? I am just a free and easy person now, and I don't care about the winery anymore!"

The man looked regretful and said, "Oh, you are only sixty years old. Many workshop masters who are a generation older than you are still in charge. If you were still in the Wen family, you would probably earn a lot of money in a month."

Zhang Jiping laughed contemptuously, "Still want to make money? I'm lucky if I don't lose my life."

He pointed in the direction of the winery. "The winery has been operating non-stop ever since it was handed over to that yellow-haired girl! Now, they're even bragging about challenging the Cheng family. Isn't that courting death? Just wait and see. Soon, the sign for the Wen Family Winery won't be seen in Ping County anymore..."

Wenwan stepped inside and looked around the winery.

All the items were neatly put away, the bluestone slabs were polished to a shine, the windows were clean, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard were also renovated, giving it a vibrant look.

Wen Wan was very satisfied.

Although everything in the winery is currently shut down, the guys are still keeping their fighting spirits high. The whole winery is completely different from the lazy and decadent scene she saw when she first came here.

Good. As long as she didn't lose her fighting spirit. She didn't want to have a bunch of weaklings under her command.

Feng Shuigen was taking inventory of the remaining supplies in the backyard. Seeing Wen Wan coming over for inspection, he reminded her of his discovery yesterday, "Young Master, I took inventory of the warehouse yesterday and found that there is not much koji left. It can only last until the second half of next year at best. Our relationship with the Cheng family is tense now, so the koji issue...you need to consider it in advance."

Wen Wan nodded.

This is really a problem.

However, Wen Wan was already so inflamed that she wasn't afraid of the itch. Compared to her father, who was constantly worried and anxious, Wen Wan seemed much calmer. "My son-in-law is in the winery today?"

When Zhao Heng was mentioned, Feng Shuigen's face turned bitter. "He's here. These past few days, my brother-in-law has been training his brothers in the back mountain. If you go looking for him, don't tell him I'm here."

The man in his twenties was terrified. "I'm afraid he'll come and catch me... Young Master... I've had nightmares every day these past few days. My son-in-law's face is all over my dreams. He whips me with a whip and tells me I can't eat until I run ten laps... Young Master, even my black-hearted stepmother hasn't abused me like this..."

This……

Wen Wan looked at Feng Shuigen, a tall and strong man with a bulging chest. With his physique... it wasn't impossible to let him go.

The demon boss smiled gently and said, "Didn't you say it yourself? The winery is out of work right now. Are you panicking inside when you receive such high wages from me?"

Feng Shuigen shook his head like a rattle, "That's because we were blind and didn't realize how powerful the brother-in-law was..."

They even privately speculated about what their son-in-law used to do.

Some said he was a soldier, some said he was a guard, some said he was a bodyguard, and some said he was a butcher.

This is not some kind of son-in-law, he is clearly a great killer——

Wen Wan smiled and said, "Okay, I will definitely talk about him."
