A big event happened in Pingcheng.
Liu Fushun, the son-in-law of the Zhou family in Pingcheng, was jealous of the huge profits of the Xiao family's fruit wine and cans, so he learned the Xiao family's brewing methods, invested countless money, purchased a lot of fruits, and brewed a new batch of fruit wine and cans.
There is a tendency to get a piece of the pie with the Xiao family, and many people are optimistic about it.
Of course, many people praise the Zhou family for having a good son-in-law who is capable and does great things.
For a long time, Liu Fushun walked with wind.
The scenery is endless.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Suddenly, the Liu family heard that the fruit wine coming out of Kaifeng had a very different taste than the canned fruit wine and could not be eaten. Many merchants who had paid deposits were clamoring for their money back. This matter was quite noisy, and everyone in the city knew about it. , even Master Peng was alarmed.
The Zhou family's face was dull, and all kinds of gossip came.
However, the son-in-law of the Zhou family was also ruthless and responsible. Knowing that the fruit wine and cans were broken, he not only paid the two of them the deposit, but also destroyed the fruit wine and cans.
Yes, ruined.
Xia Xiaoba came back after asking about it and told Xiao Ming vividly.
"That pretty boy from the Liu family, what a look on his face at that time! White, red, purple, so colorful. He took an ax himself and broke the wine jars one by one, and the soup and water spilled all over it. Damn, that smell is really unpleasant.
You can smell the rotten smell mixed with wine from a distance. No wonder those who paid a deposit are clamoring for a refund. No pig would drink such a weird smell.
Xia Xiaoba shook his head repeatedly, looking gloating as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
Liu Fushun poured all the broken wine and cans into the moat. Many people watched the fun at that time, but what the consequences! He was scolded by Mr. Peng and said that he had polluted the water in the moat.
Liu Fushun had no choice but to have people pull the rest up the mountain.
The Liu family made a big joke and became the laughing stock of Pingcheng people after dinner.
This happened just a few days ago, and now there are several wine jars floating in the moat.
The Xiao family gathered together and listened to Xia Xiaoba talking about the excitement of the Liu family.
"Oh, this Liu Fushun is really willing to give it up. It cost so much money to make it, so it's just a waste." Aunt Ming slapped her thigh and said, "It's a pity."
"This is not a joke, Liu Fushun is using this clever trick." Yi's mother said, holding a string in her hand and playing with it. She didn't see her eyes staring at her, but her movements were very fast.
"Why isn't this a joke? There is a saying that says, 'A tiger cannot be compared to a dog'!" Aunt Ming said with a smile. Then Liu Fushun didn't seem to be a good person. She was smooth-tongued, careless in words and deeds, and erratic in her actions. This time He also tried to imitate Xiao Ming in making fruit wine, but he was so angry that he went to heaven.
I dare not get the porcelain job without that diamond.
No, retribution is coming! She just wanted to despise her. If he dared to come back to the village, she would have to spit on him.
"If a strong man cuts off his wrist, his reputation will be good. Just watch! The prefect still has to praise him."
"Why are you praising him? Praise him for his good studies!" Aunt Ming didn't understand, and felt it was strange that the official would praise him for making such a big joke.
"That's a compliment. Mr. Peng not only summoned Liu Fushun in person, but also praised him in public for his courage, good conduct, and honesty and ability in business." Xia Xiaoba confirmed Mother Yi's guess.
"Hey! This doesn't make any sense anymore." Aunt Ming quit and retorted loudly, "Why didn't anyone praise him for his honesty, ability and good conduct when that guy was robbing us of our fruit and business?"
"Oh! He must have smashed it because he couldn't sell it." Aunt Ming suddenly felt that she had revealed the truth. Yes, she must have thought that everyone knew that his fruit wine was spoiled and that he couldn't sell it, so she smashed it in public. Good reputation.
"Isn't it important to be honest and trustworthy when doing business? He dared to smash the wine jar in front of the people of the city, which shows that his character has been recognized by Mr. Peng, and it is not enough for Mr. Peng to praise him." Xiao Ming said, Who doesn't want to do business with people of good character? After this, in the eyes of many people, Liu Fushun can gain the reputation of a gentleman of good character.
"He has a good character? What a big joke. If he had a good character, he wouldn't do anything to steal business." Aunt Ming waved her hand with obvious disdain.
A good character is just an appearance. If Liu Fushun really has a good character, he will fight for business with the Xiao family. He still owes many people in Liujia Village money.
People with good character will ignore relatives and uncles. Don't think that she is from out of town. She doesn't know how the village chief helped Liu Fushun and his family when they were in Liujia Village and supported them in everything. Make the decision and take care of them in everything. When the boy got married, Village Chief Liu also ran up and down to help. Now that he is rich, he no longer recognizes his poor relatives. Village Chief Liu wants to send his grandson to study in the city. This is a perfect example. He is not willing to help them with any small favors. He stays behind closed doors and does not come back during the holidays to see the uncle who has helped them. This is obvious. Cut off contact.
What kind of relatives are these?
White-eyed wolf.
If his character is good, sows can climb trees.
Aunt Ming thought vulgarly, but after a look from Mother Yi, she swallowed back some inappropriate words in her heart, moved her position, and started talking with Mother Yi, listening to Xiao Xiao. Ming talked to Xia Xiaoba.
"Were the wines sent up the mountain really destroyed?" Xiao Ming asked, truly believing that Liu Fushun could be generous was like believing that he had suddenly traveled through time.
"I really didn't look at this." Xia Xiaoba shook his head. He just heard what others said, "I heard that it was transported up the mountain at night, and a few people paid attention to it."
"There's a lot of intrigue here. By the way, where did his brother Liu Fugui go?" Xiao Ming asked. She suspected that Liu Fushun was trying to deceive others.
I heard that Liu Fushun spent more than 10,000 jars of fruit wine and cans this year.
Xia Xiaoba thought for a while and suddenly said: "I really haven't seen it. In the past, Liu Fushun was very high-profile, holding a purple clay pot, a gold chain around his neck, and a dozen big rings on his hands, walking down the street. He showed off like a great man, either visiting brothels or molesting good women on the streets. There has been no legend about him for many days."
Speaking of which, Liu Fushun's brother Liu Fugui was quite famous. He was well-dressed and well-dressed, and he visited major restaurants and gambling houses. His style is ostentatious, showy, and high-profile. He is a beautiful sight in the streets and alleys of Pingcheng. I haven't seen him for several days, which makes people very uncomfortable.
Just like a common thing, when people get used to it, they will naturally bring it into their lives and become a part of their daily life. If it suddenly disappears one day, it will naturally make people accustomed to its existence. People become very unaccustomed to...
That's what Liu Fugui is.
