Chapter 064 Talking about Business

Fourth Uncle Tang turned around and looked at her in confusion.

Tang Shiyue said seriously, "When you are a person or do things, you must stand up straight! You must remember that it is not a good deal if you are the one who asks for it. Our wine is unique. When the time comes, there will be people who will come to ask us for it, not us asking them for it! Even if that is not the case, when doing business, never feel inferior to others, otherwise, you will just be waiting for others to take advantage of you."

She slowed down her voice and spoke word by word: "You can have plans and calculations in your mind, but you must not be weak in momentum. You must pretend to be calm and composed. Only then will you be qualified to discuss business with others on an equal footing."

After saying this, she calmed down and became the soft and sweet girl again: "Fourth Uncle, logically I am the younger generation, I shouldn't say this, please don't blame me."

Fourth Uncle Tang hurriedly shook his head and said, "How could that be? What you said makes sense."

Tang Shiyue took the jar from his hand with a smile: "Then I'll try it, you watch."

Qi Jing opened his mouth but still said nothing... There are four people here, no matter what, it's not up to you, a little kid, right?

But Tang Shiyue really went there. She didn't even look at the mediocre restaurants like Yunlai Restaurant, and went straight to the largest restaurant in town, Sifang Restaurant.

Anyone who can open a restaurant in a place like this must have a very good background. She looked outside and saw that the Sifang Restaurant was bustling with people and doing very good business. The waiter was also smiling and thoughtful. Everything was in order, busy but not chaotic, so she nodded.

Then she went in directly holding the small jar.

...

...

Fourth Uncle Tang was a little surprised. Such a big restaurant, who knows how many nobles come in and out, he never dared to go in, but seeing Tang Shiyue had already gone in, he was afraid that she would suffer a loss, so he hesitated for a moment, rubbed the soles of his shoes at the door, and then mustered up the courage to follow in.

Tang Shiyue looked around and called out loudly, "Little Second Brother!"

The waiter came over in response.

She was still wearing Tang Junchen's old clothes. At that time, the winery was doing a booming business and the clothes were of good quality. She was full of energy and vigor, and standing there, she looked like a young lady from a good family.

The waiter smiled and asked, "What would you like to use, young master?"

Tang Shiyue asked: "Is your shopkeeper here?"

The waiter asked, "What can I do for you?"

"Of course I have something to say," Tang Shiyue said with a smile, "Can I trouble my second brother to introduce me to you?"

"This is not very convenient," the waiter said politely, "Our boss has a lot of business and doesn't usually take care of mundane matters. I wonder what the young master wants?"

Tang Shiyue knew what was going on, and said with a smile, "My uncle had an appointment with your shopkeeper last month, and he sent me here today. Please take me there, little brother, so as not to delay the appointment."

The waiter was stunned: "Who is your uncle?"

"My uncle's last name is Wang."

She didn't say anything else and the waiter didn't want to ask any more questions, so he said, "Then wait a minute." She went upstairs. Tang Shiyue followed her with a smile. After the waiter entered the door, she stood not far away and waited. Sure enough, after a while, the waiter came to invite her in.

Tang Shiyue walked in confidently. The shopkeeper was about forty years old, with a square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a beard. He looked more like a warrior than a businessman.

Tang Shiyue smiled and bowed. The shopkeeper looked at her and asked, "Who are you?"

Tang Shiyue admitted her mistake with a smile: "What's your name, shopkeeper?"

"Shen."

"It turns out to be Shopkeeper Shen. I'm sorry, I was anxious to recommend myself, so I lied." She smiled and lifted the lid of the wine jar: "Actually, I took the liberty to ask you to taste our newly brewed wine."

As soon as the lid was lifted, the sweet fruity aroma mixed with the aroma of wine wafted out, and Shopkeeper Shen stopped talking immediately. He waved for the waiter to bring the wine bowl and said, "Then try it."

Tang Shiyue poured him half a bowl. Manager Shen smelled it carefully first, then took a sip. He closed his eyes slightly and tasted it carefully, then took another sip. He didn't put down the bowl until half a bowl of wine was finished. He raised his eyes calmly and said, "Did you brew this wine?"

"Yes," Tang Shiyue said, "This is the fresh wine we brewed. We added some herbs and fruits to it. It can nourish the kidneys and the heart, strengthen the essence and replenish the Qi. We named it Fushou Guyuan Wine."

Shopkeeper Huo asked, "What medicinal ingredients were added?"

Tang Shiyue smiled but didn't answer. Manager Shen also smiled and said, "Are you planning to sell it? What's the price?"

"Yes," Tang Shiyue said, "One catty, ten taels, no bargaining."

Shopkeeper Shen's face darkened immediately, he stood up and glared at me, "You are taking advantage of me! Why don't you ask what I, Shen, do? Go, go! Go!"

At this moment, Fourth Uncle Tang and Qi Jing were both standing outside the door. Upon hearing this, Fourth Uncle Tang panicked. He wanted to speak, but didn't dare to.

Tang Shiyue, however, was neither hurried nor slow, still smiling, and bowed neatly: "Sorry to bother you then." He walked out holding the jar. Fourth Uncle Tang was anxious but did not dare to say much. After hesitating for a moment, he followed and planned to persuade him later.

Tang Shiyue didn't care at all. He went downstairs and got on the mule cart. It wasn't until the mule cart drove several feet away that two waiters ran up and said, "Young man, please stay!" The mule cart was reined in, and the waiter bowed and said, "Our shopkeeper asks you to go back."

Tang Shiyue pushed open the door halfway and raised his hand generously: "No need, our wine is not difficult to sell, the shopkeeper doesn't have to be embarrassed, please!" At the same time, he called Qi Jing: "Let's go!"

The mule cart drove a little further, and someone caught up with it again. This time it was a horse carriage, which stopped in front of the mule cart and said with a smile: "Good young man, it is Shen who is rude, please stay and let's discuss it."

Tang Shiyue then pushed open the door and did not mention the previous incident. She just smiled and said, "It's my fault for making the shopkeeper make such an trip." She got into the other's carriage leisurely.

The advantage of this era is that as long as a young man of twelve or thirteen can stand on his own feet, he will be treated as an adult. No one will ever tell you to "call your father". Moreover, the indigenous people have been influenced by their environment since childhood, and there are many precocious people, so it doesn't seem abrupt for Tang Shiyue to come forward to talk.

Shopkeeper Shen was very straightforward this time and said with a smile, "I really want to buy it, but I have to think about it."

Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "Boss, the purpose of drinking is to get drunk. As for the taste, you are an expert, so I don't need to explain more. Besides, since we dare to call it Guyuan wine, it must have medicinal effects. These recipes have been passed down for generations and have passed through countless hands. You don't have to worry about the efficacy. We will not ruin our reputation."

Shopkeeper Shen narrowed his eyes, and Tang Shiyue continued: "As for the rest, we will sell it to you for ten taels of silver, and you can sell it for twenty, thirty, or a hundred taels. That's all up to you, and we won't say anything more. In addition, is there anything else you want to consider?"

Shopkeeper Shen laughed and said, "What a good young man, you are so eloquent!"

He laughed twice, then asked seriously, "How much wine do you have?"

Tang Shiyue said, "You can smell the fruit aroma in this wine, right? Then you should know that we make one kind of wine for each fruit of the season. When we first started selling it, we didn't have much wine, only about 200 kilograms. But I can guarantee that even if we change the fruit and the prescription, the aroma and taste of this wine will not be inferior, but the effect will be slightly different."

Shopkeeper Shen thought for a moment and said with a smile, “Shen has one more thing to say.”
