Chapter 263: All the calculations are in vain
"Not only that, besides him, there are two other people in the Gu family who are said to be his cousins, and they are also studying in Moyun Academy." Ji Yunzhan said, but the other two are a few years older than him, and they don't have very similar interests, so he is only good friends with Gu Jiulang.
After hearing his words, Cen Yan fell silent for a while.
If she was in a hurry to use the money, she would really sell the medicine.
But the medicine needs to be used with spiritual spring water, and it is really troublesome to take it to the pharmacy and resell it.
"Originally, I wanted to open a shop selling fruits and vegetables myself because I didn't want the restaurant to make the difference anymore. So the restaurant stopped doing business with me. It's only a matter of time. It's no big deal. If I can't open this fruit and vegetable shop, I won't open it. I can go and make wine. Although the Zhou family is in the restaurant business, the most prosperous restaurant in Xiangyao County is not owned by the Zhou family, but by the Chen family." Cen Yan pondered and soon came up with an idea.
If someone else heard her say she wanted to make wine, they would definitely ask her where she went to make the wine, whether she knew how to make it, and where she got the recipe.
I have to doubt her again, how dare she say such big words?
But after hearing what Ji Yunzhan said, he felt that whatever she said could be accomplished.
"What a coincidence. Gu Jiulang is good friends with Qilang from the Chen family. Perhaps I can get in touch with the Chen family through him." Ji Yunzhan just said this.
"There's no rush for this matter. Let me brew the wine first." Cen Yan waved his hand, looking calm and composed.
Since she didn't take it to heart, Ji Yunzhan naturally felt relieved as well.
Brewing wine is not something that can be done easily. It will take at least ten days or half a month.
It is summer now, but summer is not suitable for making wine.
Fortunately, she has a portable space with a suitable temperature.
Cen Yan began to experiment with brewing wine according to the recipe she learned from the medical book. She tried making both grain wine and fruit wine.
The first time I just wanted to try the taste of the food, not too much.
During this period of time, she stayed at home leisurely every day and did not go anywhere. On the contrary, when Madam Zhou Jiu found out that she had no reaction at all, she became a little restless.
She dealt such a fatal blow to a person, seemingly targeting Cen Yan, but her real intention was on the Thirteenth Lady of the Gu family.
Madam Zhou Jiu's thoughts were also very simple and crude.
Cen Yan was a girl from the countryside. She had finally gotten close to Lady Thirteen. If her business failed, she would certainly ask Lady Thirteen for help. When Lady Thirteen came to find her, she would have to give in.
What she wanted to see was that Lady Thirteen would submit to her, take back the face she had lost last time in the circle of aristocratic women in Xiangyao County, and let everyone see that she still had the most say in this circle.
But who would have known that after being put in such a difficult situation, Cen Yan simply gave up doing this business.
Then naturally, Lady Thirteen would not come to her house to say soft words to her.
Madam Zhou Jiu's plan was in vain.
She was a little restless, but it was impossible for her to take the initiative to run up to Cen Yan and say something, otherwise wouldn't she lose face again?
The several restaurants that had previously followed her instigation and stopped supplying fruits and vegetables to Cen Yan were now completely unable to sit still.
Especially the Chen family’s restaurant.
Originally, the Zhou family's people found the manager of the Chen family's restaurant and said that they would just block Cen Yan's supply of fruits and vegetables for the time being and restore it later. The Zhou family and the Chen family were also good friends, and the manager was afraid of offending the Zhou family and that the Zhou family would say something to the Chen family, which would cause him trouble, so he agreed immediately.
But without the supply of fresh fruits and vegetables day after day, the customers have long been accustomed to eating them, and the business has been somewhat affected.
When the Chen family checked the accounts, they found that business had been much worse in recent days, so they naturally had to call the manager over to question him.
The manager didn't dare to lie and had to tell the truth.
These words reached the ears of the head of the Chen family, who immediately cursed the Zhou family. He then asked someone to find out that some time ago, Lady Nine and Lady Thirteen had a dispute because of Cen Yan. The Chen family immediately figured out Lady Nine's plan.
The manager was also scolded and fined, so he naturally went to discuss business with Cen Yan again.
However, when Cen Yan heard his friendly words and the apology gift, she just smiled faintly and said, "Business requires mutual consent. We were cooperating well before, but you suddenly didn't want to, so my mood was naturally affected. So now I don't want to supply not only the restaurants of your Chen family, but also others. I will no longer supply goods. Shopkeeper, just pretend that we have never cooperated."
This is a straightforward rejection!
She didn't want to, and the Chen family couldn't force her to do the sale, so they had to turn around and scold Madam Zhou Jiu. The young lady of the Chen family refused to associate with Madam Zhou Jiu anymore because of this, and started to play with Madam Shisan instead.
Only then did Lady Thirteen realize that Cen Yan had suffered such a great injustice during this period!
She went to the door angrily, and as soon as she saw Cen Yan, she asked, "I treat you as my sister, but when you ran into trouble, you refused to ask me for help. Don't you take me, Gu Yinyin, seriously at all?"
There was a hint of grievance in her words. Cen Yan felt like a heartless scumbag when she heard it. She was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and at the same time, she also felt a little guilty.
"Of course not. It's just that we just met, so it's not easy for me to ask you for help. That's one reason. But on the other hand, that's just my personality. I think if I do this, Madam Zhou Jiu's life won't be easy, right?" Cen Yan said hesitantly. She didn't know what happened to Madam Zhou Jiu afterwards, so what she said was just a guess.
The purpose of doing business is to make money.
She just didn't believe that if Madam Zhou Jiu acted in this way and affected her own business, no one in the family would complain.
But considering that the Chen family’s restaurant took the initiative to come to the door, the business must have been affected.
However, fruits and vegetables are just a dish for a restaurant, so the impact won’t be that big. It’s just a loss of money.
"Of course she is not having a good time. The Sixth Lady of the Chen family refuses to have anything to do with her because of this. The Sixth Lady's close friends have been coming to my house these days. Otherwise, how would I know that you have suffered such a great injustice? Sister Cen, you are really capable. Before I came to Xiangyao County, I heard that Madam Zhou Jiu was not a good person. After I came here, I also experienced her methods. You are the first one who may have caused her to suffer such a great loss!" As Madam Thirteen said this, her eyes were full of admiration when she looked at Cen Yan.
"Really? Who told her to set her sights on you? I care about you, too." Cen Yan coaxed her with a smile, but he knew all about Madam Zhou Jiu's complicated thoughts in his heart!
