Farming with kids: My deceased husband returns and I spoil him rotten.
Chapter 87: Exceptional Skill
Shang Qing walked alone down a side path. After confirming that Manager Jin hadn't followed her, she entered the system, took out the red wine, and then repackaged it in the intelligent product packaging warehouse.
When she presented it to Manager Jin, he stared at it intently.
Shang Qing poured some for him to try.
Manager Jin took a small sip, then exclaimed in admiration, "My goodness, Shang Qing, I'm not trying to flatter you, but how did you come up with this idea? This red wine is truly excellent. It has a rich aroma and a perfectly balanced aftertaste. My regular customers love this kind of wine!"
That's exactly the kind of attitude Shang Qing wanted.
She feigned indifference, saying calmly, "I'm glad Manager Jin likes it."
Ignoring everything else, Manager Jin kept praising, "Shang Qing, it's no exaggeration to call you a genius. No one has ever tried these things before. You've really pioneered this!"
Seeing that things were about right, Shang Qing began to quote a price: "The production process for this red wine is quite complex, so the price per bottle will need to be three times that of before. I wonder what Manager Jin thinks?"
For a businessman, money is the most important thing. With Shang Qing asking for such a high price, Manager Jin felt a little pained.
But he also understood the same principle: you get what you pay for. Moreover, if this unique item came from his Juxianglou, he would naturally make a lot of money. So after a struggle in his mind, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
"I promise you, but you also have to promise me that you can only supply one family."
Shang Qing nodded slightly: "No problem, but I have one small request."
Seeing Manager Jin's unpleasant expression, Shang Qing continued, "Every profession has its own skills and rules. I'll pretend you were never here today. But if you come uninvited again, don't even think about cooperating with me in the future."
Shang Qing had the authority to make him do it, so Manager Jin had no way to refute him.
He sighed deeply and said, "Shang Qing, I've discovered that you're even more shrewd than I am as a businessman. I think you're destined for great things! If you ever achieve great success, don't forget me!"
Shang Qing chuckled but didn't reply. He simply handed the red wine to him, and Manager Jin settled the bill in front of him.
Just as they were about to see Manager Jin off down the mountain, they ran into Gu Yu and Lao Zong, who were coming up the mountain.
Manager Jin carefully carried the red wine himself. The mountain path was full of stones, and he rarely walked on it, so he was careful at every turn, afraid of falling.
But sometimes, what you fear most is what happens. Manager Jin hadn't gone far when he tripped over a stone and looked like he was about to fall into the brambles beside him.
At this moment, Gu Yu was still some distance away from him, but he was quick-witted and nimble-fingered. In a flash, he arrived next to Manager Jin, pulled him up with one hand, and did not forget to support the red wine with the other.
Manager Jin also exclaimed in surprise. He wasn't worried about himself falling, but rather about the wine being damaged.
Fortunately, everything turned out alright in the end, and he finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Who is this guy? He's incredibly skilled. He was quite close to me, yet he still managed to save me and my wine."
Manager Jin cast an admiring glance at Gu Yu, and Shang Qing stepped forward to introduce him: "Manager Jin, this is Young Master Zhao, he is our tenant."
Manager Jin couldn't stop laughing as he looked at Gu Yu: "Oh my, this young man looks quite strong. How about this, you become our henchman?"
Before Gu Yu could even make up his mind, Manager Jin started quoting a price.
He thought that Gu Yu and Shang Qing were not familiar with this area, so he wanted to show off and save as much money as possible. However, Shang Qing was not stupid. She had been listening to all sorts of people and knew a lot about it. As soon as she heard the price quoted by Manager Jin, she knew that he was not sincere.
Seeing that Gu Yu was about to reply, she quickly gave him a subtle look, signaling him not to agree.
Fortunately, Gu Yu understood her meaning and remained silent without answering.
"What's wrong, Young Master Zhao? Is it too little?"
Shang Qing stepped forward, as if to protect Gu Yu behind her, and directly refused on his behalf, saying, "Manager Jin, this isn't how business is done, is it? If you're not sincere, why do you expect us to agree?"
Manager Jin immediately felt embarrassed that his thoughts had been exposed.
Shang Qing also gave him a cold look and urged, "Manager Jin, please go back quickly, don't delay my work."
After Manager Jin left sheepishly, Shang Qing said to Gu Yu, "Young Master Zhao, the price Manager Jin offered was far too low. I didn't want you to go because it's for your own good. Don't end up putting in the most effort for the least pay."
Gu Yu laughed: "He probably thought you didn't know the tricks of the trade either, but he didn't expect you to know so much."
"If I didn't know much, I don't know how many layers of skin would have been peeled off my body!"
After saying this, Shang Qing went up the mountain to plant saplings. Gu Yu felt a pang of sympathy for her upon hearing this. It seemed that she had struggled and persevered to get to where she was now.
Even though Shang Qing had already made his point, Lao Zong still had this idea in mind.
He felt that even if the money was small, it was still money. Although he and Shang Qing had acknowledged their sibling relationship, he couldn't just live and eat at Shang Qing's house for free; he still had to do something to help support the family.
As for this side, Manager Jin descended the mountain with extreme caution.
As he was pondering how to deepen his cooperation with Shang Qing, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice reached his ears.
"Manager Jin, how is it? Have you seen Shang Qing?"
He turned his head and saw that it was Liu the Scarface.
Liu Bazi immediately noticed the red wine in the shopkeeper's hand. He had seen from afar that the shopkeeper was treating it like a treasure, so it must be very valuable. He continued to ask, "Shopkeeper Jin, did Shang Qing give you this red wine? Did you find out about the winemaking process from her? Why don't you tell me about it?"
"Why should I tell you? I won't tell you anything."
Manager Jin refused directly, after all, he had thought of what Shang Qing had said earlier, and realized that Liu the Scarface was indeed an untrustworthy person, otherwise why would Shang Qing have broken off cooperation with him?
Liu the Scarface was displeased upon hearing this: "Manager Jin, don't forget who told you Shang Qing was here today? If it weren't for me, would you have been able to see her?"
Manager Jin scoffed, "Even if I don't see her here today, I can see her somewhere else tomorrow. Don't think you're so great just because you gave me this information."
