Da Sheng's face fell slightly. She said politely, "My son's name is..."
"I'm telling you, old man, can't you understand human language? I told you to get out of here, don't you understand?"
"How dare you talk like that? You're a businessman, how can you talk about selling people like that? Don't you have parents or elderly relatives?"
Shen Wanli glared with his large, round eyes and a stern face, and reprimanded him unhappily.
That's really harsh of you.
They keep calling me "old man"!
"Hey, you bunch of country bumpkins, what do you want?" the waiter shouted, and immediately a lot of people came and surrounded the Shen family.
The Dasheng family hadn't expected things to develop this way, and with no other option, they decided to leave.
Although it might be a little embarrassing, it's better than causing trouble for my son.
Unexpectedly, just as they were about to leave, Mingqiu, the youngest son of the Dasheng family, ran out.
"Mother? What brings you here?"
Fourteen-year-old Mingqiu was not tall and was thin and small. When she saw her mother, she immediately ran over happily.
Da Sheng's wife was also happy to see her son: "Mingqiu, I've come to see you about something. I didn't expect to have a little misunderstanding with these young men."
For the sake of their son, Dasheng's family could only say it was a misunderstanding.
"Mingqiu, don't let your family come to the winery next time. It's not a good influence." Seeing that it was true, the waiter didn't say anything about kicking them out, but the look of disgust on his face was still very obvious, and he spoke very rudely.
Anger surged on Mingqiu's youthful face, unable to hide her emotions. "I didn't hear the boss say that family members weren't allowed to come looking for me."
"you……"
"What's all the noise about?"
When the voice of an adult man came, both Xiao Er and Ming Qiu immediately became obedient.
The waiter explained the situation: "...I was worried that it would affect the reputation of our winery, so I told Mingqiu not to let his family come looking for him. Who knew that Mingqiu wouldn't be happy about it?"
"No!" Seeing that Mingqiu's face was flushed, clearly indignant but not daring to speak, Shen Liuliu immediately opened her righteous little mouth, pointed her fair finger at the waiter, and shouted in a clear voice, "He cursed, saying that old bastard, bad!"
While adults might find it difficult to complain, she, as a child, had no such concerns.
She's just a little kid, how can you argue with a little kid?
The waiter immediately blushed and tried to explain, "No, it's because..."
"You can't talk to customers like that!" the shopkeeper scolded the waiter and punished him accordingly.
Then he told Mingqiu to bring her family to the backyard to meet and talk, so as not to affect the business.
From beginning to end, the shopkeeper never even glanced at them.
The Shen family felt a chill run down their spines.
Today's trip... I'm afraid it won't end well.
Sure enough, after Mingqiu called his master to taste the osmanthus wine, he praised it highly.
But when the shopkeeper arrived, he thought it was just so-so.
"...The taste is alright, but there's nothing particularly outstanding about it. However, if you gentlemen are interested in selling the recipe, I can buy it for twenty taels of silver for Mingqiu's sake, so you won't have made a wasted trip."
The shopkeeper, with a belly that looked like he was five months pregnant, spoke in a deep, old-fashioned voice.
His tone carried an air of superiority and condescension.
Although it was a bit better than the waiter's attitude, it wasn't much better.
Shen Wanli stroked his daughter, who was about to explode with anger, and said with great certainty, "In that case, let's go and take a look at other wineries. Thank you, manager."
You think you can buy a wine recipe for just twenty taels of silver?
Are you trying to fool kids?
Moreover, they had no intention of selling the wine recipe!
For the long term, it's better to just sell the wine directly.
The shopkeeper hadn't expected these country bumpkins to refuse. An impatient look flashed across his face as he threatened them, "Don't think that just because you know how to brew wine, you can make a lot of money in this city. There are many wineries in the city, and wines like yours are too ordinary. I'm only giving you twenty taels because of Mingqiu's influence."
"Well, we're too kind, we won't take advantage of you!" Shen Liuliu couldn't help but grumble sarcastically.
Even if it's a sarcastic tone, coming from the mouth of a cute little baby, it just makes it seem incredibly adorable.
Tian Guifen and the others suppressed their laughter.
My daughter said it beautifully!
The shopkeeper, losing face, snapped at Mingqiu, "Mingqiu, since your mother has come to see you, you should go back with them so your family won't worry about you."
The Shen family members: ...
The Dasheng family panicked: "Manager, this, we..."
Da Sheng looked back at the Shen family. If this were wine she brewed herself, she would definitely have offered to sell them the recipe so that her youngest son could stay here.
But this belongs to the Shen family...
"Shopkeeper, I've been well taken care of here, and my parents are very at ease. Why would I need to go back?"
Although Mingqiu was young, she was used to such occasions. Although she was a little flustered, her answer was still quite appropriate.
Upon hearing this, Da Sheng's son immediately echoed, "That's right, the shopkeeper takes great care of my son, how could I not trust him?"
"Hmph, if you trusted me, why wouldn't you sell me the recipe? Do you think I'm trying to scam you?"
The shopkeeper first snorted coldly twice.
Then Mingqiu's master, who hadn't spoken until now, told them again how difficult it was to do business in the city.
If you take the recipe to another place, you're likely to not only not get a higher price than here, but you're also more likely to be scammed!
In short, the two of them worked together so well that they wanted the Shen family's wine recipe!
Just as the master was speaking excitedly, a sound suddenly came from inside—
"Yue!" Shen Liuliu tilted her head and gagged.
The Shen couple were terrified and asked with great concern, "Daughter, what's wrong?"
Shen Liuliu slumped listlessly onto her father's shoulder and said, "It's a bit disgusting."
Everyone: ...
Shen Erming couldn't help but smile.
His sister is really clever!
The shopkeeper was furious!
It's just not appropriate to yell at a little kid like that, so I just kicked them out: "Mingqiu, you'd better pack your things and leave. My winery is too small to accommodate a big shot like you! A bunch of country bumpkins, thinking they can turn themselves into city people just because they have some broken recipe? They're a laughingstock, really..."
Say it again!
Shen Erming clenched his fists, staring coldly at the shopkeeper.
It looked as if it was about to pounce on him and bite his throat off at any moment.
"A bunch of stinky..."
"Li Changgui, are you getting angry because you can't fool us? Is it fun to bully a group of honest people?"
Suddenly, a cold, mocking voice came from the courtyard gate, interrupting the shopkeeper, Li Changgui.
Li Changgui's expression changed instantly!
Why is he here?
