The Transmigrated Farm Girl Has a Cheat Code

Chapter 73 Selling Liquor

With a stall set up, Lin Yan took out jars of wine from her spatial storage and placed them on the stall.

He even set out a few wine glasses on the side, cleared his throat, and started shouting.

"Plum wine! Plum wine! Everyone come and have a taste!"

Passersby heard something interesting coming from the street and began to be attracted to it.

A man walked over and asked, "What kind of wine did you just say this was?"

"Brother, this is plum wine, made by soaking green plums. These jars have been soaking for three months. The wine tastes mellow and sweet, with both the aroma of wine and the aroma of fruit!"

The man smiled after Lin Yan's long explanation, "What you're saying sounds very impressive and interesting! How much does it cost?"

Lin Yan held up one finger, "One tael of silver!"

Upon hearing Lin Yan's offer, Lin Yu was stunned, his eyes twitched, and he sighed at how ruthless his older sister was.

The wine was bought at the restaurant. A jar cost only fifty coins. Even if two jars were distilled to make one jar of wine, it would only cost one hundred coins. The green plums were picked from the mountain. Adding two coins for labor and five coins for the jar, it would only cost one hundred and eight coins.

"One ounce? In ordinary restaurants, this kind of wine would cost no more than five hundred coins. Do you think your wine is better than theirs?"

The man frowned. He had initially considered buying some things because it was a young girl selling things and enthusiastically recommending them, but he knew he couldn't let her take advantage of him.

Lin Yan smiled, "We have cups here. Let me pour you some to try. If you're satisfied, then you can buy it!"

As she spoke, Lin Yan opened a jar of wine, poured a glass, and handed it to the man.

The man looked at the amber-colored liquid with some curiosity, then took a sip. As soon as it entered his mouth, he exclaimed in relief, "Wow, good wine!"

Lin Yan smiled and thought: The alcohol content of this wine is unmatched in the entire Daliang. I refuse to believe you can't tell me it's not good!

"Besides the aroma of wine, there's also a hint of plum tartness. This wine is stronger than any I've ever tasted! How did they manage that? Can soaking green plums really produce such an effect?" The man's eyes lit up as he looked at the wine glass.

"That's a trade secret!" Lin Yan smiled slyly.

"So, sir, are you satisfied with this wine?"

"Satisfied, satisfied! A jar of Yunxiaozui wine in the capital costs five taels of silver, but I just can't compare to yours!"

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, "Yunxiao Zui, what a piece of trash, even more of a rip-off than me!"

But his face was still full of smiles. "Let me pour you another glass!"

"Thank you very much!"

The man downed another drink, his expression one of pure enjoyment. "Ha!"

"I want five jars! I'd like more, but I only have five taels of silver on me. Please leave some for me! I'll go home and get some money!"

"Guest, purchase limit is five jars!"

"What?! There's still a purchase limit?!"

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Since we've just started our stall, we want more people to try our wine. However, we have a limited stock this time, so there will be a purchase limit."

The man sighed regretfully, "Alright! You're in business, I won't make things difficult for you! Five jars, please!"

"Alright!" Lin Yan smiled and tied a hemp rope around the wine jar, handing it to the man. She accepted five taels of silver.

The man hurried away with the wine in his hand, seemingly off to share it with someone.

Lin Yu was stunned. He had thought he was going to lose money, but he had already made it all back. "This...it's sold?! Sister, you actually sold it for one tael of silver!"

“What’s wrong with one or two taels of silver! Didn’t you hear that person say that Yunxiao Zui in the capital sells for five taels? I must have set the price too low!” Lin Yan was quite reasonable.

“However, this price is acceptable given the cost of living here. If we were to sell it in the capital one day, I would sell it for five taels of silver.”

"How can ordinary families afford to buy alcohol?" Lin Yu said, feeling somewhat aggrieved.

Lin Yan glanced at him and said earnestly, "Ordinary families wouldn't spend a month's living expenses on alcohol. These things are meant for those who enjoy life. What's wrong with earning money from the wealthy? That's what you call the target audience."

Lin Yu frowned. "Target audience?"

Seeing that someone had bought many jars of wine and carried them away, some people curiously gathered around and asked, "Are you selling wine?"

"Yes, sir!"

"What kind of wine is this?"

"Green plum wine!"

"Plum wine? Never heard of it. Is it made from plums?"

The plum wine this person mentioned is a dessert made with plums and wine. "No, it's wine! You can try some!"

Lin Yan took a wine glass and poured him a glass of wine.

"Hey, I want to try it too!" A person who had gathered around was also very curious about the product. Hearing that it could be sampled for free, they also asked for some wine.

Lin Yu then picked up the wine jar and poured wine for everyone.

"Wow! This liquor is quite strong, and it has a fruity aroma! Not bad!"

"Hmm? I've never had this before!"

"This plum wine really does taste like plums!"

Lin Yan smiled and said, "There are indeed green plums inside. After you finish drinking the wine, you can eat the green plums!"

"Hey! How much is a jar of this wine? I want some!"

"One tael of silver!" Lin Yan said with a smile.

"what?!"

"One tael of silver?!"

Everyone was startled and put down the wine jars they were holding.

"One tael of silver for such a small jar, isn't that too expensive!"

"If it's five hundred coins, I'll buy it!"

Lin Yan pretended not to hear everyone's objections and still smiled and said, "Hey, our wine is different from what's sold in the market! It's all about the freshness. It's okay if you don't buy it; consider it a free sample for everyone."

Some people felt the price was too high, and although it was a pity, they still turned around and left.

Some people hesitated for a moment, but still bought two jars to satisfy their craving.

Some people didn't care about the price, were satisfied with the drink, and wanted more, but due to Lin Yan's purchase limit, they could only take five jars.

Lin Yu was in charge of packing everything up for everyone, tying ropes around the wine jars to make them easier to carry, and he was so busy that his hands never stopped moving.

Looking at the taels of silver that had come in, he swallowed hard and thought to himself: This is truly a prefectural city. If this were in a county town, no one would buy it, and it would be even more impossible in a village.

Lin Yan and her brother were busy at their stall. The busier they were, the more people gathered around, and the more people gathered, the more people bought things, which made them even busier.

Meanwhile, in the restaurant opposite Lin Yan, a man dressed in dark purple brocade sat by the window, looking outside.

The man had well-defined features, a high nose bridge, and deep-set eyes; anyone who knew him could tell he carried the characteristics of the Great Ye region.

At this moment, the man's gaze was deep and unfathomable, like the dark night sky, making it difficult to discern his true thoughts.

"Cheng Lin, that liquor stall downstairs is really popular, go buy some and try it."

When the man spoke, people noticed a subordinate standing ramrod straight behind him, hidden in the shadows and easily overlooked.

Cheng Lin looked in the direction he was pointing and nodded, "Yes, Your Highness!"
