The son-in-law of a prosperous family
Chapter 545 Capsized in the gutter
Wang Fugui was obviously a little confused after hearing the price. After a moment of calming down, a mocking smile appeared on his face: "Didn't you claim that your wine was not cheap before? How come it's only two taels of silver now? This is too cheap."
As for the big ghost, his face showed no expression, and he said in a flat voice: "The wine in our house has always been of good quality and reasonably priced, and we never cheat people.
There are only two small jars of wine left, which are only worth two taels of silver. We should be conscientious in doing business. We can't force you to pay so much when it's obviously not worth twenty taels."
When Wang Fugui heard this, his eyes widened and his voice became louder: "What? I have been waiting in line for most of the day and only two jars are left for me?"
The big ghost tried hard to suppress the laughter on his face. The muscles at the corners of his mouth trembled slightly. He took great effort to control it. He nodded expressionlessly and said, "Sir, we really only have two jars of wine left. Do you want some? If not, I'll have to give the opportunity to the guests waiting in line behind me."
Indeed, there was a bustling crowd around this makeshift wine table, and there were many people queuing behind it, all eagerly waiting to buy wine.
At this time, someone in the line shouted impatiently: "Hey, if you don't want to buy it, give it to me quickly, I have wanted to buy it for a long time, I want it!"
Wang Fugui was furious and anxious when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Yes!"
Wang Fugui was filled with anger and felt like a clown being manipulated by others.
Under the scorching sun, he waited in line for a long time, but in the end he could only buy two small jars of wine. This was simply a drop in the bucket for him. What was the use!
At most, we can ensure that two guests are not snatched away.
But now that things have come to this, it’s better to have something than nothing, so I’ll just accept it for now.
As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, Wang Fugui's eyes rolled and a cunning plan instantly came to his mind.
He deliberately raised his voice and shouted at the top of his lungs: "You guys selling alcohol, don't you know to give us a heads up if you're out of alcohol? Look at this damn weather, it's so hot, aren't these people behind me just busying themselves for nothing, suffering for nothing, queuing in vain?"
He deliberately made his voice travel far away, trying to stir up the resentment in the hearts of the customers in the queue.
As the saying goes, no matter whether a trick is new or old, it is a good trick as long as it works.
As expected, as soon as this trick was used, some people in the crowd immediately became unhappy.
"That's right! How can you guys who sell alcohol be so unreliable? You didn't even inform us in advance when you ran out of alcohol, which really put us in a terrible situation. We had to queue here for half a day in such hot weather!"
This situation was exactly what Zhao Yunchuan had anticipated.
The big ghost knew what was going on and remained calm. He just responded according to the countermeasures the two had discussed before.
He cleared his throat and said loudly, "We are so sorry to all the friends who didn't buy any drinks! Everyone must have been exhausted from waiting in line, and we are not unreasonable. How about this? According to the order in which you line up, each friend can get a free cup of Coke, as our way of making amends to everyone."
When everyone heard what the big ghost said, their complaints and resentment immediately dissipated a lot, and the expressions on their faces also relaxed a lot.
Although I was unable to purchase the wine I was looking forward to, on second thought, it would be a nice thing to have a glass of cool and refreshing Coke.
The price of this Coke on the market is not cheap, one cup costs several cents.
It seems that this store owner still has some conscience.
Seeing that this not-so-small crisis was resolved so effortlessly, Wang Fugui felt more and more resentful.
A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He exerted force on his feet and suddenly moved close to the big ghost in one step.
The big ghost was startled by his sudden action and instinctively shrank back.
Wang Fugui didn't care, and lowered his voice and said viciously: "Do you know who is behind our boss? If you dare to go against us, I advise you to carefully and seriously consider the consequences."
The big ghost's face was instantly filled with innocence and confusion. He blinked his eyes and deliberately raised his voice a few notes, shouting at the top of his voice: "Ah? What did you say? Are you from Zuixiaolou going to bully others and overturn our little wine stand?"
This shout stunned Wang Fugui. He never expected the big ghost to do such a thing.
For a moment, he panicked, shaking his head like a rattle, waving his hands in front of him, and saying in rapid succession: "I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
The big ghost seemed to have his ears blocked, ignoring the noise around him. He raised his voice and said clearly and forcefully: "You want to rely on the prefect to bully us?"
"Everyone in this city, from top to bottom, knows that the prefect has always been fair and honest.
Even if your boss is the brother of the prefect's favorite concubine, the prefect will certainly stick to his principles before the law and will never condone your reckless behavior and help the tyrant to commit atrocities!"
Speaking of Mr. Lai, he usually relies on his slight relationship with the prefect to frequently show off everywhere using the prefect's name.
There is no need to spend much effort to explore the relationship between him and the prefect. You can find it out clearly by just asking around in the streets.
Wang Fugui's face turned as pale as death in an instant. His eyes widened, veins popped out on his forehead, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Stop talking nonsense here! I, Wang Fugui, swear to heaven that I never said the nonsense you said."
The big ghost just shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "Hey, you are a man after all. How dare you do it as a man? You don't even dare to admit it?"
Wang Fugui felt dizzy and looked around in panic, only to see that everyone was looking at him with contempt and disdain. Those looks were like sharp arrows piercing him straight, making him feel uneasy.
He knew that no matter what he explained now, no one would believe it.
In the end, he could only flee in a panic under the gaze of everyone.
I thought I had been in this world for many years and had already developed an indestructible body, but I never expected that I would be tricked by an unknown little character today. How can I swallow this anger?
He gritted his teeth secretly, thinking that if he didn't take revenge, how could he be considered a great man!
But right now, the impending storm over there from the boss's side is the most pressing problem.
He slowed down his pace, his brain working rapidly, thinking about what kind of excuse he could make up to have a chance of survival under the wrath of his boss, even if it was just to avoid the attack temporarily.
However, his thoughts became more and more confused, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead. He knew very well that this level would be difficult...
