Chapter 218: Auspicious Liquor Store

 Chapter 218: Auspicious Liquor Store

Tang Mu was also trying to prevent such situations from happening too often, fearing that her son would be delayed as a result, so she simply kept her distance from the villagers. Therefore, when she encountered others on the road and they greeted her, Tang Mu would simply nod reservedly and not pay much attention.q Over time, others became less willing to be overly friendly with them. On the other hand, when Tang Wenqian went to the county town alone, he was greeted by more people. One sentence from him left Tang Mu momentarily speechless, and she didn't speak again. She just watched the receding mule cart, her brows furrowing tighter and tighter. Shu Yu had already driven the mule cart into the city. It was still early, so they planned to return to Liufang Lane first, put down things like the chicken coop, and then go to the county yamen. However, not long after entering the city, Shu Yu suddenly slowed down the speed of the mule cart. The old lady asked her curiously, "What's wrong?" "Grandma if we ask for help, should we buy something? It wouldn't be good to come empty-handed." The old lady nodded slightly, a little perplexed. "Then, what should we buy?" If it were villagers, the old lady would have some ideas. But when it came to giving gifts to officials, the old lady not only had no experience but also worried whether the gift would be too valuable. If they spent too much money, the old lady would be reluctant. It was quite a dilemma. Shu Yu smiled and pointed to a shop not far away. "Let's buy from there." The old lady looked out of the window and saw the wine barrels displayed outside that shop. She immediately clasped her hands together and said, "Yes, giving wine would be the most appropriate." Shu Yu drove the mule cart to a vacant space next to the liquor store and hopped off the cart. "Grandma, wait for me here. I'll go in and buy a few bottles of wine." The old lady whispered, "Don't spend too much money, you hear?" "I know what to do." Shu Yu reassured her, then strode towards the liquor store. The store's name was also simple and straightforward—Auspicious Liquor Store. Although the storefront wasn't very large, it was more impressive than their clothing store. As soon as she stood at the entrance, Shu Yu caught a whiff of the fragrant scent of alcohol, wafting directly to her nose. Perhaps hearing footsteps, the man behind the counter suddenly looked up. When he saw Shu Yu at the door, he was momentarily taken aback but then smiled and said, "Miss, are you here to buy some liquor?" "Sure, I'd like to buy a few bottles of wine as gifts. Can you recommend a suitable kind?"  As soon as she stated her request, Jiang Yi had a clear idea. He walked out from behind the counter and said, "Please come this way, customer." Shu Yu followed him inside and they walked towards the left side of the shop. This area had a different decor, with more eye-catching wine barrels on the floor and exquisite and transparent small bottles on the countertop. While introducing, Jiang Yi asked, "Miss, take a look at these. If they are not suitable, we have more in the backyard." Shu Yu waved her hand and said, "Let me have a look first. I'll talk to the shopkeeper once I've made my choice." Jiang Yi nodded and said, "Alright, take your time, miss." After saying that, he returned to the side of the counter. Shu Yu had some knowledge about wine, as it was the most basic common knowledge in her previous life. The wine from Auspicious Liquor Store was somewhat turbid and had a relatively low alcohol content. After a moment of consideration, Shu Yu chose three different bottles from the cabinet. When she returned to the counter, Jiang Yi was no longer there. Instead, there was a woman standing behind the counter.
