Chapter 691: Chapter 691 Hostility Chapter 691: Chapter 691 Hostility Doing the accounts is busiest at the end of the month.
To make ti to accompany his little wife to the Fuman Building to deliver the fruit wine, Gu Ya purposefully started early and finished late over the past two days. After handling all the accounting books that needed to be dealt with, he could go with his little wife to deliver the wine.
In addition to the fruit wine brewed for Young Master Chu, Su Yunjin had also made quite a bit of other fruit wine ready for consumption. Su Yunjin planned to start doing business at the beginning of next month.
Once the fruit wine was ready, Su Yunjin also planned to package it like other wineries, using jars of different sizes to store it, and then price it according to the size and quantity of the jars. This would eliminate the need for weighing, and custors could simply pay based on the prices marked.
This little shop used to be a winery, and there were plenty of wine jars available, in all different sizes, with prices already marked on each one.
Unfortunately, the price of Su Yunjin’s fruit wine was different from the rice wine sold by the previous shop, otherwise, it would have been much easier for her now.
She could have directly used the prices already marked on the jars.
There wasn’t much space in front of the winery, not enough to hold too much wine. Su Yunjin filled the storefront with jars of wine to the brim. The remaining jars with unmarked prices would have to wait for Gu Ya to co back. Then, she could have him write the prices on red paper, which she would later paste on the outside of the jars with wheat paste. In ancient tis, there wasn’t glue, so pasting paper and other things was done with wheat paste.
After just putting a jar of fruit wine on the counter, Su Yunjin heard soone enter. She thought it was Gu Ya returning, and turned around subconsciously, only to be surprised to see a young lady with a maid walking in. The young lady seed a bit younger than Su Yunjin, around fifteen or sixteen years old.
The young lady had a fair complexion, and her tender pink dress made her skin look even more like white jade. Seeing the fine attire on the young lady, and the little maid attending to her,
Su Yunjin could imdiately guess that she must be the daughter of a wealthy family. Assuming the young lady was there to buy wine, Su Yunjin smiled and said, “Miss, our winery will not be open until next month. We’re not selling wine right now. If you would like to buy wine, please co back next month!”
After all, this was the first potential custor to co to buy wine, so Su Yunjin added, “If you co next month, Miss, I can give you a jar of wine for free.”
Offering complintary items to custors at the start of a business is a good way to attract them. As a modern person, Su Yunjin had often seen shops holding grand opening giveaways in modern tis.
Monkey see, monkey do.
On the day her shop opened, Su Yunjin also planned to prepare a small portion of fruit wine to give away to patrons who ca to support her. Su Yunjin assessed the young lady,
and the young lady was assessing Su Yunjin as well.
Having heard Su Yunjin’s words, the young lady finally responded, “I don’t drink, and I’m not here to buy your wine.” The young lady didn’t want wine.
And Su Yunjin didn’t recognize her.
Now Su Yunjin was puzzled. If not to buy wine, then what was this young lady doing in her shop? While Su Yunjin was wondering, the young lady continued to speak.
“I am the young miss from the Hongyun Building across the street, and the Shopkeeper of the Hongyun Building is my father.” The young lady’s voice was lively, showing clear pride and satisfaction on her little face as she spoke.
Indeed!
Having such a rich father, no wonder the young lady in front of her was proud. Yet, Su Yunjin couldn’t tell if it was just her imagination, but she felt that this sudden visitor seed to hold so veiled animosity toward her.
She hadn’t offended this young lady in front of her, had she?
Why did she show hostility the mont she arrived?
