Chapter 969: A woman’s confidence is money
"Yes, I can. It's not a difficult task. The recipe for brewing wine is in the book. You will learn it if you read it more." Li Mingxia said indifferently.
Yi Xuan also knew this truth, but it also required a very high level of comprehension and hands-on ability, which ordinary people could not do.
Ever since he met Li Mingxia, he has never heard that there is anything that Li Mingxia cannot do.
"Hearing you make it sound so easy, I want to give it a try. Gong... there are many drinks suitable for women at home, but they are all fruit wines, too sweet and greasy. There is no taste of wine at all. The one brewed by Xia Xia is just right. I like it very much." Yi Shuishui poured herself a glass of wine, and her eyes lit up after taking a sip.
Others may find this wine too mellow, but it is very much to her liking.
There was neither the burning sensation of strong liquor nor the cloying sweetness of fruit wine, which really made her feel extremely satisfied.
"This is the wine brewed by Miss Mingxia, so of course you think it tastes good. Not to mention wine, even if I gave you a glass of plain water, you would still drink it with relish. Don't you think I don't know you?" Yi Xuan said unhappily.
Yi Shuishui shrugged her shoulders, feeling that there was really nothing to refute about this matter. That was just the way it was.
"Although what you said is true, this drink is really to my taste. Xia Xia, can you sell me some?"
Yi Shuishui is a very sensible person. Every time she wants something in large quantities, she will not ask Li Mingxia to give it to her. She will say she will buy it, which means she wants to get it with money.
Li Mingxia knew very well that no matter how outrageous the price he offered, Yi Shuishui would definitely accept it.
Although he knew that this was a sure-win business, Li Mingxia really had no way to do this business.
"I brewed thirty jars in total and gave them all to my eldest brother. I didn't keep any for myself. I said at the time that these wines were given to my eldest brother, so even if I wanted to sell them to you, I couldn't." Li Mingxia spread his hands and handed Yi Shuishui two more skewers of medium-rare wine.
Although thirty jars of wine were brewed at that time, they were not particularly large jars. Li Zhengpin loved drinking. If he drank every day, it would probably be gone in half a year. That would be the best time to brew wine. If some of the wine from the thirty jars was taken out to give to Yishui, Li Zhengpin would probably not have enough to drink.
Li Mingxia would never do this.
Li Zhengpin was sitting nearby, so he naturally heard what Li Mingxia and Yi Shuishui said.
"Little sister, I can't drink that much. If you need it, just take it all. It's the same if I drink other wines." Li Zhengpin said to Li Mingxia.
Although Li Zhengpin cherishes those wines very much, if they can be sold for money or Li Mingxia needs them, Li Zhengpin's first reaction is that his thoughts are not important.
Li Mingxia also knew what his brother was thinking, and spread his hands helplessly.
"Brother, I said I'm giving you these wines, so that's it. If you want to sell them, you can negotiate the price with Shuishui. I don't want the money, I'll give it all to you and sister-in-law." Li Mingxia said to Li Zhengpin.
"How can that be? This wine... this wine was brewed by you. How can I accept this money, brother?" Li Zhengpin felt a little embarrassed as he spoke.
Li Mingxia knew this is what Li Zhengpin was thinking. He felt that everything he ate and used was all spent on his sister's money. Now someone wanted to pay for what his sister made. How could Li Zhengpin say no and say he wanted to drink it?
Li Zhengpin could not do such a thing.
Putting aside other things, this is also the subtle influence of the Li family's old house on these people. They feel that they are not worthy of "enjoyment". If they lose some money because of their own reasons, this is wrong and despicable.
Even though Li Mingxia has said many times that life now is different from the past, neither Li Zhengpin nor the other people in the third house can change their "nature".
"Mingxia, you just need to talk to Miss Yi about this. It will cost a lot of money to arrange a marriage for me. Just leave me a jar of this wine, nothing else." Li Zhengpin said quickly.
Li Mingxia was a little helpless and casually handed over a dozen skewers of medium-rare grilled pork. Just as Xiao Tianyue was about to take it, Song Li got there first.
He kept five skewers for himself and gave five to Li Zhengde, and then gave the rest to Xiao Tianyue. In total, there were only five or six skewers left, which had to be divided between Xiao Tianyue and Yi Xuan. If it weren't for the wrong occasion and his own slow hands, Xiao Tianyue really wanted to punch Song Li.
Fortunately, Yi Shuishui didn’t have to share the food with them, otherwise how could there be enough to eat!
"Brother Li, how about this? You have thirty jars of wine. Sell ten of them to me. I won't give you more. Twenty taels of silver per jar. How about that?" Yi Shuishui said to Li Zhengpin.
Twenty taels of silver? Li Zhengpin's eyes instantly widened to the size of a cow's!
Does Miss Yi know what she's talking about? Twenty taels of silver for a jar of wine? Twenty taels of silver for ten jars of wine? Did she hear it wrong?
"Twenty taels of silver for one jar? Or twenty taels of silver for ten jars? Miss Yi, I didn't hear it clearly. Can you say it again?" Li Zhengpin hesitated for a long time and asked in a low voice.
If Yi Shuishui had not been listening carefully to what Li Zhengpin said, she might not have heard this sentence, after all, the voice was too soft.
Now that I heard it clearly, I felt like laughing again.
"Of course it's twenty taels of silver for a jar of wine. The wine brewed by Xia Xia tastes so good. If I want to buy ten jars for twenty taels of silver, wouldn't that be too disrespectful to Xia Xia? What do you think? Brother Li, are you satisfied with this price?" Yi Shuishui said to Li Zhengpin with a smile.
Although the words were directed at Li Zhengpin, Yi Shuishui was looking in the direction of Li Mingxia.
Obviously, what she really cared about was whether Li Zhengpin was satisfied with the price she mentioned, not whether Li Mingxia was satisfied.
Although twenty taels of silver is already a high amount, if Li Mingxia is not satisfied, Yi Shuishui can offer thirty taels of silver or fifty taels of silver. Anyway, silver is nothing to her, and the thing she has the most is silver.
"this price……"
"Okay, brother, sell ten jars to Shui Shui." Li Mingxia said to Li Zhengpin.
Li Mingxia naturally wouldn't want the money from selling the wine. She wanted Li Zhengpin to give it to Yin Cuicui.
As a woman herself, she understands Yin Cuicui very well. A woman's greatest confidence is not how good her husband is to her, but how much money she has.
