Chapter 64 - You Are Here!
With Yu Dong’s spiritual power she was able to prepare a lot of jam, she hurriedly filled them in small wooden jars that she bought from the villager carpenter after specially ordering them. She knew that for jam, glass bottles were more appropriate but right now she had no idea where to get so many tiny glass jars. In the end, Yu Dong instilled a little more of her spiritual energy for the preservation of her homemade jam.
Because Yu Dong worked hard for an entire night, her jam was ready to be sold by morning. If it wasn’t for spiritual energy she would have to wait for a day for the true flavour of berries to come out but with her spiritual energy it was like she had some cheat trick in hand, not only was the jam made by her tastier but it was also really good for health. Just a single scoop and all the tiredness from the day would vanish in seconds!
So without wasting any time in the morning, Yu Dong hired Aunt Wang’s ox cart and loaded the buckets that were filled with jam jars and wine jars. Filling the ox cart to its brim, until only the space for two people to sit was left, of course, the one who followed her to the town was Ye Liu. He reasonably argued with Shen Li, saying that among the three he was the only one whose strength was good, if he went with Yu Dong then he can help her in loading and unloading things.
The gentle Shen Li was no match for the forceful Ye Liu and as for Chen Mi, he was still asleep when Yu Dong and Aunt Wang were loading the ox cart.
Seeing the cart full of goods, Aunt Wang couldn’t help but praise Yu Doing as she slapped her on the back ” Dong Dong you are good! You learned to do so many things, just keep on working hard like this and one day you will be just as rich as the village head! Ah, you are really a good child! I always said that! “
Actually, Aunt Wang was the one who scolded the original owner the most for being useless and wasting her life. And Yu Dong of course knew it, but she didn’t say anything as she knew Aunt Wang scolded the original owner only because she cared about her, though her lips twitched she still smiled and answered ” I know Aunt Wang, I’m really thankful for your firm belief in me.”
Aunt Wang wasn’t someone who liked to waste her time, she would casually discuss something but it didn’t hamper with her speed to work. As she continued to chat with Yu Dong, her hand that was holding a bamboo whip never stopped swinging, and soon they were standing in of the ‘ Delicacy’ restaurant owned by Song Yixu.
As soon as Yu Dong jumped down the cart and helped Ye Liu down, she heard the boisterous voice of Sister Xi ” oh my dear ancestor you are finally here ” though her words were reprimanding, Sister Xi seemed to be in a good mood as she looked at Yu Dong and the cart filled with wine jars and something else ” fortunately you came here or else I would have to go to your village and hunt you down, seriously where were you ?”
Yu Dong’s furrowed her brows, a little startled at Sister Xi’s question she couldn’t understand why Sister Xi was complaining like an old lover would complain to their partner for coming late on their date ” is there a problem, sister Xi?” though she was confused she asked politely, Sister Xi was her money bank and it doesn’t matter if she has to entertain Sister Xi’s weird tantrums.
Sister Xi laughed flatteringly and rubbed her hands ” of course there is a problem. Dong Dong your wine is a big hit! Every mistress who comes to drink at our restaurant would only order your wine and even your fruit wine is really popular with the mers, they would occasionally send their servants to bring them your fruit wind. Just four days in the week and your entire stock was sold out! I don’t even know how many advance orders our restaurant received! Some madams even came to ask me when I will restock their favourite wine”
Yu Dong finally understood the matter under Sister Xi’s enthusiastic boasting, fortunately, Yu Dong went to the back door and didn’t stand in the front of the restaurant or else she might have been mobbed by the excited ladies who were itching to buy her wine. And why won’t they, that wine was fermented by her spiritual energy, one sip you will feel your tiredness leave, two sips your entire body will be rejuvenated, and an entire cup was enough to relax the entire body and heal whatever minor ailments one had.
Sister Xi would have continued to chat but then Song Yixu who heard the news rushed over in surprise as she exclaimed ” ah Doing Dong, you are really my restaurant’s lucky star! You don’t know your wine just came at the correct time or else I would have been ripped to shreds by those enthusiastic customers of mine. What are you all waiting for, hurry and unload the cart” Song Yixu’s enthusiasm was a bit overwhelming as she ushered them inside ” you have no idea how popular your wine became, at first I won’t lie, I was indeed sceptical but then it was like a miraculous surprise! Dong Dong why don’t you just sign a contract with me and I promise I won’t treat you badly “
Song Yixu didn’t hurry to sign a contract before because she thought that it was nothing but simple wine.. But later on the reactions of her customers left her speechless, they wouldn’t even buy the wine that was brewed by the wine shop that was run by a person who was once responsible for brewing wine for the Emperor instead they came to clamour in her restaurant asking her to bring out her latest wine. Only Song Yixu knew how overwhelming it was for her, only then did she realise that Yu Dong’s talent, and was now in a hurry to sign a permanent contract with her, in case Yu Dong was poached by their rival restaurants! If that happened she wouldn’t be able to cry!
