Zhang Xiaoyu has a great figure.
That's why she was able to succeed with her difficult technical moves.
"Young Master Jing... please say it again..."
Not hearing Jing Zhe's voice for a long time, Zhang Xiaoyu looked up and saw him staring intently at her. She was immediately embarrassed, but at the same time, she felt a strange joy.
So... I do have an advantage after all!
Thinking this, she actually straightened her body boldly and then bravely looked at Jing Zhe.
Jing Zhe snapped out of his daze, gave an embarrassed smile, and repeated himself.
After listening, Zhang Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then said "okay" and walked out.
Looking at her slightly frail but incredibly resolute figure, Jing Zhe smiled and shook his head: What a strong girl!
"Manager Song!"
A crisp sound rang out, and the crowd stopped their noise, all looking up at the beautiful Zhang Xiaoyu.
"Oh, so it's Miss Zhang! They all don't understand big principles. But you're literate, you must understand, right? Tell me, isn't it wrong of you not to sell me strong liquor?"
Manager Song took the initiative, making it clear from the start that if Zhang Xiaoyu refused, she would be considered unreasonable.
But Zhang Xiaoyu wasn't buying it at all.
"Manager Song thinks our spirits are too expensive?"
"That's true."
"So Manager Song went to buy cheaper spirits from another store?"
"If there's a cheaper option, I'll buy the cheaper one. I'm not stupid!"
"But since Manager Song bought cheap liquor, why is he selling it at the original price at your Wenxiangju? Manager Song is indeed clever, and does he think everyone is a fool?"
Zhang Xiaoyu's words hit the nail on the head!
The local people immediately started discussing it, and some who frequently dined at Wenxiangju felt cheated.
Manager Song hadn't expected Zhang Xiaoyu to turn the tables on him. His round face turned bright red, but he still retorted defiantly, "We're talking about how your liquor is not only more expensive than others, but you also won't sell it to me! Don't bring up anything else!"
"Okay, that's all for now."
Zhang Xiaoyu chuckled lightly and didn't press her advantage any further. Her calm and collected demeanor was pleasing to everyone.
"As Uncle Li just said, the reason our liquor is more expensive is because our distillery's spirits have a higher alcohol content than theirs. If you want something cheaper, we can lower the alcohol content. But is that a good idea? Since people can afford strong liquor, they probably won't care about a little extra money and affecting the taste, right?"
Jingzhou City is full of wealthy merchants, and even the common people are much richer than in other places. It's not a problem for a few people to pool their money and drink strong liquor a few times.
So someone said, "Miss Zhang is right! If you're buying strong liquor, you're just going to drink it for the sake of a strong drink. Who would be so greedy for a little bit of cheap liquor? If you're worried about the money, just buy some cloudy liquor. Nobody's stopping you."
Yes, yes!
"Support Ms. Zhang!"
Seeing that the onlookers were all supporting Zhang Xiaoyu, Jing Zhe couldn't help but sigh, "Sometimes, this is where the advantage of a pretty girl lies!"
If you let a rough guy—like a simpleton—say the same thing, the effect would probably be the opposite…
Zhang Xiaoyu smiled sweetly at everyone and continued, "And I can tell you all that another Zhang Family Distillery will soon become ours. At that time, the standards for spirits will be restored to the same level as ours, but to give back to everyone, the prices will be lowered!"
Wow, I love it!
Is what Miss Zhang said true?
"Miss Zhang is truly kind-hearted!"
"I've decided, from now on I'll only buy strong liquor from Miss Zhang's shop!"
"Are you talking nonsense? If you don't buy Miss Zhang's, do you have anything else to buy?"
"..."
Manager Song's face flushed red and then turned pale. He never expected things to turn out this way. He said in disbelief, "Their winery is doing just fine. I heard they just received a large order for several thousand taels of silver. How could they possibly sell it to you? Heh, are you just daydreaming?"
Zhang Xiaoyu glanced at him and said calmly, "If Manager Song doesn't believe me—there's nothing I can do. But you can wait a few days and see. Oh, I forgot to tell you, our Zhang Family Winery will never sell a single jar of its strong liquor to Wenxiangju again."
These words were spoken casually, but Manager Song was terrified! Ever since strong liquor came into being, it had become a standard feature on the tables of wealthy diners at Wenxiangju. If strong liquor were no longer available, would customers be satisfied? Moreover, other restaurants offered strong liquor, but Wenxiangju did not. If this continued, would anyone still go to Wenxiangju?
Thinking of this, Manager Song became afraid.
This is absolutely catastrophic!
Judging from Zhang Xiaoyu's expression, she didn't seem to be joking. Could it be that Zhang Xuehou really gave the distillery to his older brother, Zhang Xuexian?
Damn it!
I wish I hadn't bought their spirits!
So he said with a smile, "Miss Zhang, please don't be angry. In business, harmony brings wealth! If there's money, why not make it?"
Zhang Xiaoyu glanced at him coldly, "Because I'm afraid of getting my hands dirty! Besides, this winery is my family's winery, and I can choose not to sell it to you!"
"..."
Manager Song's face turned a deep purplish-red, and he finally pointed angrily at Zhang Xiaoyu, saying, "Miss Zhang, speak your mind. If you're going to make such baseless accusations, don't blame me for suing you for defamation!"
"Hehe, Manager Song, do you really want me to tell you? What is your relationship with the three Du brothers? Why did you introduce my uncle to them?"
Upon hearing this, Manager Song was so frightened that his face turned from red to white.
"How...how did you know?"
"If you don't want anyone to know, then don't do it in the first place. Manager Song, would you like me to continue?"
No sooner had Zhang Xiaoyu finished speaking than someone asked curiously, "Who are the Du brothers that Miss Zhang is talking about?"
"And what is your relationship with Manager Song?"
Why was Manager Song afraid after hearing that?
"..."
Zhang Xiaoyu glanced at Manager Song.
"Manager Song, do you want me to say something?"
"don't want…"
"Shopkeeper Song said in a low voice, his eyes full of pleading."
"Then let's go. Don't come to our wine shop again, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
After Zhang Xiaoyu finished speaking coldly, Manager Song nodded repeatedly, seemingly no longer caring whether they could buy strong liquor or whether Wenxiangju could continue operating in the future.
Compared to life, what do those things matter?
He had a premonition that since Zhang Xiaoyu dared to openly name the three Du brothers, something must have happened to them!
Moreover, the distillery that Zhang Xuehou was running so well was suddenly going to be handed over to Zhang Xuexian, which probably means that something bad has happened to him too!
It was hard to say whether he would be implicated if something happened to them. Manager Song was afraid and had no mind to care about anything else.
Instead, they were wondering whether they should go back, pack their bags, and run away as soon as possible.
