Chapter 334 Do you dare to drink?
The Feng couple felt a little embarrassed, but they did not dare to get angry directly at Master Qingyun.
The woman stepped forward and pulled Xiaobao over, scolding him in a gentle tone:
"Why are you pestering the master, kid? Don't go and cause trouble. The master has serious things to do!"
After that, she smiled and said to Yun Qingqing:
"Master, please come in quickly. Please let me know how Xiaobao cooperates with you. As long as you can get rid of the dirty things that are haunting him, our whole family will be grateful to you!"
The man also said:
"Yes, Master, we are all counting on you!"
Yun Qingqing glanced at the two of them calmly and said in a calm voice:
"Don't you want to know the real reason why Xiaobao cries and wakes you up every night?"
She pointed to a small door next to the Feng family's house:
“That’s the reason.”
The couple looked at each other, with a hint of vigilance on their faces.
"This... Master, that's just a warehouse. What does it have to do with this matter?"
"There is wine in the warehouse. Take out a jar and share it with everyone to taste. Then I will tell you what is going on." Yun Qingqing said.
"Uh..." The man looked unhappy and hesitated.
One of the neighbors laughed and said:
"Master, you are really putting Old Feng in a difficult position. He is a good person except for being very careful with money. This jar of wine should be sold for at least seven cents of silver. If you ask him to give it away for free, it would be like asking him to die!"
The man felt relieved when his worries were revealed, and smiled apologetically:
"Haha, we are a small business, and our family is living frugally. Please forgive me, Master."
"I also told you to give it away for free."
Yun Qingqing took out a silver ingot and handed it to him, saying:
"I bought this wine. Please drink it with everyone. Is that okay?"
When the man saw that the silver ingot was actually five taels in size, he immediately smiled, took the silver, nodded and said:
"I'll get the wine right away!"
When the woman saw that there was so much money to be won, her expression changed from subtle at the beginning to a smile.
But Yun Qingqing did not miss her action of secretly pulling the man and giving him a look.
The man obviously understood what his wife meant. He nodded slightly and then went into the warehouse and brought out a jar of wine.
The families in the compound were not so particular. They all ran back home to get their own wine glasses and shared the wine and tasted it in a lively manner.
Someone even handed Yun Qingqing a cup and said enthusiastically:
"Master, please try it too. This cup is very clean. Please don't despise it."
Some people around also laughed and said:
"Yes, Master, you must try this wine. Although the wine of Old Feng's family tastes ordinary at first, it becomes more and more fragrant the more you taste it, and it makes people have an endless aftertaste!"
"So even though each jar of his wine is one penny more expensive than other brands, he still has regular customers. Many people in our courtyard are used to drinking his wine and look down on other brands."
"Really?" Yun Qingqing took the wine glass with a smile and took a sip. "It doesn't seem to be anything special. It's not as magical as you say."
"Hey, this is just a sip. If you taste it more, you will definitely feel the difference!" said the neighbor who handed her the cup earlier.
But another person next to him smacked his lips twice, then suddenly frowned and said:
"Hmm? Today's wine really doesn't taste right... Lao Feng, what's wrong with your wine? Did you make a mistake? This is not the taste of your wine."
After he said this, several more people spoke up.
"That's right, today's wine is really different from usual!"
"You noticed it too? I was just wondering if it was my illusion. I always felt that the wine didn't smell as good as usual."
"Old Feng, you are being disrespectful. The master spent so much money to buy a jar of wine from you, but why is it that the wine he gave to others is not fragrant?"
"Did you take the wrong one? It's not like you did it on purpose. Lao Feng, quickly check what's wrong with this wine!"
The man thought that they were all neighbors and were invited to drink, so even if they tasted something wrong, they would not bring it up openly.
But Master Qingyun's words drew everyone's attention to the taste of the wine. For a moment, they were so embarrassed that they didn't know what to say.
Seeing this, the woman rolled her eyes quickly, stepped forward and said with a smile:
"Master, please don't be offended. It's not that we don't want to give you good wine. It's because the wine has been sold out. The remaining wine in the warehouse was taken by the supplier by mistake. We were supposed to return it, but you just said that you only want the wine in the warehouse, and then you can help exorcise the evil spirits. We didn't think much about it. After all, we don't know much about exorcism. We must do whatever you say, Master, don't you think?"
Everyone understood after hearing this, as they all knew that the couple ran a small business and did not brew their own wine. It was just that they kept a close eye on where their wine came from, which was understandable for a businessman.
The man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone accepted this statement, and quickly changed the subject:
"Master, I have drunk this wine. When will you help our little treasure to exorcise the evil spirit?"
Yun Qingqing curled her lips lightly:
"What I just said was that if you drink the wine in this warehouse, I will tell you the real reason why you attracted evil spirits. I didn't mean to help Xiaobao exorcise the evil spirits."
"Because it wasn't him who brought the evil spirit here, but you and your wife!"
The two men's faces changed drastically and they were about to refute angrily, but Yun Qingqing didn't give them a chance.
She pointed to the warehouse door and said:
"You just took this jar of wine from the last row of shelves in the warehouse. You lied when you said that the good wine was sold out. In fact, except for the wine on the last row of shelves, the others are all the ones you sell every day. If you still don't admit it, take another jar from the front and let everyone taste it and you will know!"
The two men suddenly fell silent, and it was obvious that they felt guilty.
The neighbors saw something was wrong and started to chime in:
"Brother Feng, Sister Feng, what is going on? Is what the master said true?"
The woman secretly pulled her husband.
The man's eyes flickered, and he suddenly clapped his hands and said in sudden realization:
"Oh! I was so busy these days that I forgot. I was afraid that my regular customers wouldn't be able to buy wine, so I moved some of the wine that I had kept for myself to the warehouse to sell. My wife didn't know about this, and I didn't think of it just now!"
"I'm sorry, Master, and everyone else. I'll bring out another jar for you and your neighbors to taste. The previous jar is mine!"
When the neighbors in the yard saw him take out another jar of wine so openly, no matter whether they believed what he said or not, they stopped talking.
But Yun Qingqing said mercilessly:
"You're lying again."
The scene was quiet again, and the Feng couple's faces twitched.
"You don't have to bother to argue," Yun Qingqing said calmly, "I just want to ask you one question: Do you two dare to take a jar of wine from the first row of shelves and drink a glass each in front of everyone?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the couple's faces turned pale.
