The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 17
Rosacea's stubby brows twitched: "Sun Jun also plans to sell wine?"

"That's exactly what I mean." Sun Shao said as he walked out, "However, I don't plan to open this restaurant for the time being. I just want to find a partner I can talk to. I will provide him with wine, and he will sell it. This will also prevent everyone from competing with each other and making no money. You and I have finally met, and if you are interested, I can give you a priority."

Rosacea thought about it quickly, then chased to the door and asked: "Then...how much is a bucket?"

Sun Shao raised a hand and waved it in front of Jiuxuan's eyes: "Five hundred dollars."

"Five hundred dollars?" Jiuzai gasped, then shook his head, and said with a smile, "Sun Jun, I'm not boasting. I have some experience in the wine business. Although this wine is strong, it's worth five hundred dollars." I'm afraid it won't sell for a bucket of money."

Sun Shao chuckled: "Things are rare and expensive. If it is the only one, there is no semicolon. No matter how expensive it is, it can be sold. Ordinary people can't afford this wine, but there are many people who can afford it. , I don’t want to sell too much, I’ll be satisfied if I earn a few hundred gold a year. Shopkeeper, you can think about it. I still have something to do, so I won’t accompany you. Come to my mansion to look for me, after three days, hehe, it's hard to say."

After finishing speaking, he strode away without waiting for the rosacea to say anything.Back at the Qiandian, the shop was really lively. A large group of people gathered around Dunwu and Shuai Zeng holding wine glasses, shouting "Pour me some" and "Let me have a taste too", but some people held wine glasses. The wine glass, under the envious eyes of others, is sipping triumphantly, as if drinking some fine nectar.Dun Wu and Shuai Zeng were busy pouring wine to the countless wine glasses in front of them. When they saw Sun Shao coming out, they ignored those people, put the wine jar on the ground, turned around and left.

When the shopkeeper of Jiuxuan chased him out, the huge Tiantianju was already full of turmoil, and the two wine jars for which he had paid ten gold fell to the ground without even a drop, and his face was flushed red with anger.He chased to the door, but he didn't see Sun Shao's shadow. After thinking for a while, he stomped his feet, gave a few orders, turned around and went out, and went straight to the market building.

With ten pieces of gold in his pocket, Sun Shao went to the gold market to fetch an iron pot, and asked Dun Wu to carry it on his back. Then he bought some necessities, and then returned to the mansion.When he arrived in the kitchen, he arranged for someone to put the iron pot on the repaired stove, and said to Aunt Qin who came over: "Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and then arrange for someone to choose, and then I will Come on."

"Young Master, how can that old slave feel bad about you cooking the food yourself?" Aunt Qin said with a fat face, seemingly unable to bear it.

"Then can you cook different dishes from Zhou's?" Sun Shao asked rhetorically.Aunt Qin raised her face and shook her head repeatedly, the fat on her face swayed, making Sun Shao feel sick to his stomach.He took out a piece of gold from his pocket and threw it into Aunt Qin's hand: "In that case, then you can do as I tell you. You spend the money first, and come to me if you don't have enough."

As soon as she saw the bright yellow gold, Aunt Qin's eyes disappeared from the smile, and she replied repeatedly: "Don't worry, young master, I will definitely not miss your business."

"Also, go and buy some high-quality clasps." Sun Shao threw her another two gold pieces: "Don't begrudge the money, you must choose the right ones."

Holding three pieces of gold at once, Aunt Qin's eyes hidden in the fat suddenly widened, and there was a gurgling sound in her throat, which made people worry that she would faint soon.

Sun Shao ignored her, turned back and said to Dun Wu: "Go pick some trustworthy people, arrange them to steam the wine, and the monthly fee will be doubled, but whoever wants to leak this method, don't blame me for asking him to do it." Fate." At the end, Sun Shao had a hideous face and gritted his teeth.Dun Wu was taken aback, and quickly agreed.

Sun Shao went back to the backyard and pushed the remaining seven gold pieces in front of the bridge: "Mother, you take care of these gold pieces. I have already arranged the banquet for my aunt and the others tomorrow, so don't worry."

The bridge was not connected, and after a long silence, he still couldn't help but said, "Aman, this money...can't be taken."

"Why not?" Sun Shao retorted in confusion.

"It's not a good thing to bet with people in the market, and to make money from it, a gentleman will not do it."

Sun Shao smiled: "A gentleman? I can't be a gentleman. What a gentleman does or doesn't do has nothing to do with me."

"Aman..." Daqiao scolded angrily, "Although you have no hope of official career, you can't give up on yourself."

Seeing her like this, Sun Shao scratched his head in embarrassment, and said with a wry smile: "Mum, I'm not giving up on myself, I'm just willing to gamble and admit defeat, and I'm not just stealing by chance, so why not? Besides, he wants to give , I don’t want it, is it possible to trap him in a place of untrustworthiness? A businessman is also a human being, and he also has dignity.”

Daqiao was choked by Sun Shao's unreasonable reasoning, and before she could react, Sun Shao got up and left in a hurry.Daqiao was a little annoyed, bored seeing the gold on the case, and was about to push it away, but Qiaoying stopped her and said with a smile: "Ma'am, this is your fault."

"I taught him the right way, why is it my fault?" Daqiao gave Qiaoying an unhappy look.

"Young master's current situation really doesn't care about his reputation. If his reputation is good, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing." Qiaoying put away the gold while persuading: "Ma'am, don't you see that?" Well, young master, this is self-defilement in order to survive."

"Self-pollution to survive?" Daqiao's heart moved, and he couldn't help feeling sad, and his voice was a little sad: "I really wronged him."

"Who says it's not." Qiaoying also sighed.

Sun Shao strode back to his yard, but there was no trace of Daqiao and Qiaoying's sorrow. He was in a very happy mood. It was a small matter to cheat that rosacea nose ten gold, but it was a big thing to find a way to make money for the family. With this In the business of distilled liquor, the Sun family no longer has to live so tight. Even if they can’t become a rich man, it’s not a problem to be a small landlord. Sun Quan, if you don’t let me lead soldiers to fight, I don’t mind it. You do Your Soochow Emperor, I will be my Tao Zhugong, and when the time comes, I will take the beautiful women to go boating on Taihu Lake, and let you fight the sky, the earth, and the people in the middle.As for the gentleman that Daqiao talked about, he had no interest at all.There are two kinds of gentlemen in this world, one is a hypocrite, which he disdains to be, and the other is a real gentleman, which he is unwilling to be—because a real gentleman usually dies badly, and he would rather be a willful and comfortable ordinary person.

The premise is that you can't be tricked by others, and the first person to guard against is your uncle Sun Quan.Fortunately, he is busy with Cao Cao and Liu Bei now. As long as he does not take the initiative to cause trouble, Sun Quan will not care about him for a while.
