  Chen Yuan didn't want to give them that impression, so even though the wine was sold out, he continued chatting with these people, making the guests feel like it wasn't just a business transaction, but also an attempt to make friends.

  The sky had already darkened, and the luxurious carriage came back in front of the inn. There were still four people on the carriage, and Fatso's expression was somewhat dejected. Chen Yuan guessed that he hadn't found a better inn than this one, so he could only come back to stay.

  Four people came in and went straight to the room on the second floor. The fat man looked at those shabby scholars, his eyebrows furrowed again, as if living with these people was a very humiliating thing for him.

  The groom lived in a room at the very back, while Fatty and a woman lived in the room next to the stairs.

  Only one woman stayed in the room in the middle, she was obviously a maid or servant, and it was her who did some miscellaneous chores going in and out.

  The room had been swept very clean by Lianhua, but this obviously couldn't satisfy Baozi. He wasn't dissatisfied with the cleanliness, he simply didn't want to stay in this inn. So no matter how clean Lianhua swept, Baozi wouldn't be satisfied.

  "Xiao Lei, go to the street and buy some sandalwood back! Get the kind that costs five taels of silver per box. Throw away the sandalwood here, I can't stand this smell!"

  "Xiao Lei, bring me that quilt with the satin filling from the carriage! This bed is so hard, how can anyone sleep on it?!"

  "Xiao Lei! ……"

  The fatty was busy running around, the servant girl was also busy running up and down the stairs, until the fatty got tired from all the commotion, only then did things calm down.

  "Father, he sold a total of six taels and one mace of silver. After deducting the principal of four taels and three maces, and then subtracting the rent of one tael and seven maces, there is still one mace of silver left." Lotus Flower said softly in front of Manager Yang.

  Yang looked at Chen Yuan who was chatting with the wine guests outside and sighed after a while: "Alright, bring him back."

  Some of the scholars immediately stopped what they were doing, and one of them stepped forward: "Shopkeeper! We are all staying in this inn to rush for the exam, but that Chen Shimei is gathering all sorts of riffraff downstairs, making a huge commotion. How can we concentrate on our studies?"

  Other scholars also echoed him.

  Chen Yuan heard the shouting inside the house, but didn't turn his head. He continued to chat with those wine customers, while Yang Zhuang suddenly shouted: "What are you driving me out for? I'm running a shop, they paid rent, where is my reason to drive them away?"

  The room fell silent instantly.

  At this moment, Chen Yuan suddenly saw a figure rushing towards here. When he got closer, the figure shouted loudly: "Where is the wine-selling young master?"

  Chen Yuan hastily stood up: "Xiao Ke is here, may I ask which brother?"

  That figure rushed over and grabbed Chen Yuan's shoulder: "Young master, Bin Yue hugged, ten jars of wine!"

  Ten buckets! A whole vat!

  Chen Yuan carefully sized up the figure in front of him before realizing it was the little beggar who had spoken to him earlier.

  The little beggar's face was full of smiles, Chen Yuan quickly turned around and went back into the house, saying to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I'll have another jar of wine, do you have any?"

  The shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, then said: "There isn't any now, but there will be some early tomorrow morning."

  Chen Yuan shook his head: "No way, I want it now. Tell me where the wine is and I'll go get it myself."

  The shopkeeper said, "It's still at the South Gate, and it'll take at least an hour to come and go. Plus, we need to use a cart to push a jar of wine, so it can't be returned within two hours. It's better to tell others that there is no wine, and say that it will be delivered early tomorrow."

  Mr. Chen said firmly, "Since the guest needs wine at this time, it must be an emergency. Boss, tell me the detailed address and I'll hire a horse carriage to fetch it. I just want to take back some of the money I earned earlier, and I'll return it after collecting the wine money."

  The shopkeeper was also pleased at this time. After telling Chen Yuan the address, he gave him three taels of silver: "Just say I sent you, and he'll give you a discount."

  Chen Yuan smiled and said: "Thank you, Manager Yang."

  It so happened that there was a wine guest outside who was in a hurry to catch the bus. Although he had drunk some wine, it did not affect his catching the bus. Besides, the Song Dynasty's capture was not checked for drunk driving.

  Watching the backs of Chen Yuan and his two companions as they hurried away, Yang's heart was filled with complex emotions. A scholar suddenly giving up the opportunity to take the imperial examination and turning to trade instead - such behavior was not only unacceptable to Yang, but also difficult for people in the entire Song Dynasty to accept.

  However, seeing Chen Yuan sell out the two jars of wine that would normally take him three or four days to sell in just over an hour, Yang suddenly felt that this person would definitely be a good businessman if he were to do business.

  The carriage's speed was much faster than Zhang's estimated walking pace. Chen Yuan secretly calculated in his heart that a jar of wine, which cost 2 taels and 1 mace to make, would be sold to Bin Yue Lou for 3 taels.

  Made a profit of nine silver coins, two coins were spent on the carriage fare, and one coin was given to that little beggar. Chen Yuan himself took six coins. In other words, Chen Yuan sold wine for an afternoon and earned seven silver coins.

  Everyone who was rushing to get off work had taken on another job, and they were extremely happy to be able to earn two silver coins. They hurriedly drove the horse carriage, running very quickly, and before long, they had loaded a full jug of old wine onto the carriage.

  Chen Yuan and the little beggar sat shoulder to shoulder in the cart, holding onto the wine jar to ensure its safety. He was very interested in this kid who had helped him sell a jar of wine: "What's your name?"

  "I don't have a name, they all call me Little Sparrow. Since I was young, I've been following Uncle Lame." Little Sparrow raised her head and looked at Chen Yuan.

  Chen Yuan rubbed his head: "Can you tell me how you sold off ten jars of wine?"

  The little sparrow smiled: "It's a good sale, I went to each wine house to ask if they wanted wine, and when I asked Bin Yue Lou, they happened to have run out of wine. This is all thanks to this dress, otherwise people wouldn't let me into the wine house."

  It's easy to say, but from Bin Yue Building to Chen Yuanqi's inn is a good five or six miles away. Along the way, there are several large and small wine houses. Several wine houses mean that Xiao Que was rejected many times. Facing rejection again and again, he can still move on to the next one, which shows that he has great potential as a salesperson.

  Chen Yuan patted his shoulder: "Where did this clothes come from?"

  The little sparrow's expression suddenly turned solemn: "Every year when I pick up some clean clothes that I can wear, I keep them. I don't want to be a beggar for my whole life."

  Chen Yuanshou patted him on the shoulder: "I believe you will never be a beggar for your whole life."

  Chen Yuanting really believed that Xiao Que'er would not be a beggar for his whole life, because he didn't want to be one and he was trying hard to change, so he definitely could do it.

  The two people stopped talking, but they both felt the same joy. When they reached the entrance of the inn, Chen Yuan asked again: "Having a silver coin, what are you planning to do?"

  "Can I help sell wine again tomorrow?"
