Chapter 339 Good quality and low price
Most of the disaster victims fled with their families, or in groups like Wen Meijiu and her group.
If one person comes to buy water, they will definitely bring a whole bunch of people with them.
Why is this water so cheap?
Some people had just inquired about the price from the soldiers at noon, and the price was sky-high. They dared not buy it and were surviving on the little water they had left.
Hearing that Wenmei Wine is selling water so cheaply, I can't help but question it.
Despite the doubts, the bold will thrive and the timid will starve. As long as the water isn't poisoned, what wouldn't they dare drink?
"Can I try this water?"
A bold man, carrying a large bowl, walked up to Wen Meijiu and the village chief, and hesitantly asked a question.
"Sure, you can try it for free."
Without a word, Wen Meijiu took the bowl from his hand, filled it to the brim, and handed it to the man. She was incredibly generous, unlike other water vendors who would pour some back after filling the bowl to the brim.
"Okay, let me try it."
The man was still a little guilty, so he turned around and carefully took out the silver earring he had prepared beforehand and dropped it in.
After a long while, the silver earring in the large bowl remained unchanged. Overjoyed, he took out the earring, tilted his head back, and drank the large bowl down in no time.
The warm wine was made with mineral water bought from the space, which was sweet, refreshing, and thirst-quenching.
Even after passing through a puddle, the smell remained largely unchanged because it didn't pick up much dust.
He smacked his lips, savoring the taste, and couldn't help but exclaim that the water was comparable to mountain spring water.
"I'll take ten buckets, pay up."
After saying that, the man reached into his pocket, took out a string of copper coins, and slapped them directly into Wen Meijiu's hand.
"Alright, that's great!"
After receiving the money, Wen Meijiu pointed to the water source in the distance and said:
"We need a lot of water, so you'll have to send someone with buckets to get some from over there. I don't have enough here."
The man said it was alright and immediately went back to get someone to bring a bucket of water.
The village chief, who was watching from the sidelines, was extremely envious of the wine he had sold and quickly stood up to enthusiastically promote it.
"Grandpa, here's the money. I need to go keep an eye on the water source to prevent anyone from causing trouble."
Wen Meijiu was worried that if too many people came to buy water, they would all go there to get water, and something else would go wrong.
"No, no, no, this money is yours, how can I accept it?"
"Oh dear, this stall was originally set up for you. I'm just here to join in the fun."
While the village chief was still hesitating, someone else ran over and asked:
How much is this water?
"Fifty coins a bucket."
With business in hand, the village chief quickly pushed Wen Meijiu's hand back and went to greet the customer.
"Give me five buckets, and I'll pay you."
The village chief was in a bit of a rush to collect the money, and worried that there wouldn't be enough, so he had to count it carefully, which made him a little flustered.
"Come with me, the water is over there, you need to bring the bucket."
Seeing that the village chief was not familiar with the work, Wen Meijiu quickly told people to follow her.
"Everyone, bring your buckets! The water here is really cheap!"
The person who came shouted to two or three people who were already prepared not far away, and those people ran over with buckets of water.
Wen Meijiu led her men towards the water source, leaving the village chief alone to sell water. He anxiously turned and shouted to his family in the distance:
"Come and help quickly."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a group of disaster victims were already approaching from not far away, each carrying a water container. The village chief grinned from ear to ear, having never seen such an easy business opportunity before.
"We're here, we'll be right there."
The village chief's wife also noticed that this business was really lucrative, so she called her son and daughter-in-law and ran over here.
Before long, the village chief standing by the roadside was surrounded by people, three layers deep. Even his wife, Jiang, had to squeeze through while shouting to get in.
The village chief greeted people, his wife collected money, and his son and daughter-in-law delivered customers to the water source one by one.
To prevent chaos from the large crowd, the village chief used the slips of paper that Wen Meijiu had written for him in advance, each with a different number on it. Only after receiving a number could he queue up to fetch water.
The news that the well in the village across the street had exploded spread quickly, eventually reaching even passing disaster victims.
"Serves them right, they cheated people."
"If we don't drink, they won't have an easy time either."
"What retribution!"
"Thank goodness, there's cheap water here, otherwise everyone would be dying of thirst. It's like a living saint descended to earth."
The women who had been gathered together earlier, whispering about the warm wine, were all dumbfounded when they saw the village chief's family busy making money.
"No, what she said is true!"
These people couldn't believe it. How could there be such a magical woman who could make whatever she said come true?
"Tsk tsk tsk, if I had known it would turn out like this, I would have gone to discuss it with Meijiu beforehand and joined in too. Now I regret it, I wonder if it's too late?"
"Oh dear, look at that village chief's wife, she's so tired from collecting money that she can't even straighten her back. I'm so envious."
"Wait, that's not right. What did Meijiu say to Wen San?"
Some quick-witted people, upon hearing this reminder, immediately realized what was going on.
"She told Wen San that she could make him rich and help him get married."
Someone slapped their thigh, waking the person from their dream with a single sentence.
"Doesn't this mean that Wen San can also sell water?"
"If Wen San can go, why can't we? Isn't this a highly profitable business?"
Wow, everyone suddenly understood! They all ran home to get buckets, filled their water containers, and set up stalls. They could do this kind of business too.
"No, you guys, where are you going?"
Seeing a group of people standing together whispering, Liu Kerong ran over to join in the fun.
Unfortunately, before she could even get close, everyone had excitedly run off and disappeared.
"Have they all gone mad?"
Having heard nothing and being bumped around by the running people, Liu Kerong patted her clothes and couldn't help but curse.
Others don't want to play with her, and she doesn't want to play with them either; she just wanders around aimlessly.
She was in an exceptionally good mood today and decided not to argue with them. After all, God had been so kind to her, taking such good care of her and granting her every wish. She was waiting to see Wen Meijiu make a big fool of herself.
She found a rock, leaned against it, and her back was still being warmed by the rock, but she didn't mind the heat. She hummed a little tune and looked around to see where Wen Meijiu had gone.
Huh, what's she doing standing by the water source?
Seeing Wen Meijiu standing by the water source, with a group of people lined up in front of her carrying buckets, Liu Kerong suddenly jumped off the rock and onto the ground.
"Damn it, she's selling water!"
At first, Liu Kerong went to join the fun, but she didn't hear clearly what the group of women were saying about Wen Meijiu. She only went up to them out of hatred, telling everyone not to believe Wen Meijiu.
Now look at the group of people who ran away earlier; they've all gone to the water source to fetch water and are carrying it to set up stalls by the roadside.
As long as they are villagers in the queue, Wen Meijiu not only doesn't charge them money, but also lets them fetch water as they please, without having to wait in line at all.
Because everyone needed the water, she also asked Zhizheng and his men to dig a large water pit so that it would be convenient for many people to fetch water together for business.
