Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 232

Chapter 232: Tonic Wine
Li Chenmo knocked on the door and waited for a while before the door was opened by Houzi’s assistant. Seeing them, the young man’s eyes lit up and he said, “Brother, sister-in-law, please come in.”

Li Chenmo nodded to him and walked to the room with his wife. After the young man locked the door, he followed them to the inner room. Houzi heard the footsteps and asked, “Bajie, who is coming?”

“Boss, it’s brother and sister-in-law,” Bajie said with a smile.

When Houzi heard this, he looked up and smiled. Although he knew a lot of people because of his business, he only called Li Chenmo his brother and Lu Jueyu his sister-in-law. Not only because of Lu Jueyu’s relationship with his cousin but also because Li Chenmo was his eldest brother’s comrade in the army.

“Brother, sister-in-law, you are finally willing to come again. Did you bring anything for me today?” Houzi asked with a smile.

“We brought some snacks, wild honey, and sauces today.” Li Chenmo said as he put the bamboo basket on the table.

Houzi helped him take out the things from the bamboo basket and looked at the snacks with wide eyes. Because Lu Jueyu sent fewer snacks lately, the wealthy customers have been a little dissatisfied with him recently. Even if he manages to divide the snacks equally to ensure that everyone has a portion, the number of snacks they can get is too small.

So when he saw the snacks on the table, he was very happy. Not to mention anything else, the fruit slices alone were enough for him to distribute to those wealthy families. As for wild honey, he will sell it to government and military officials.

Seeing the small wine jar, he took a sniff and asked, “Sister-in-law, what is this?”

“This is my family’s tonic wine. It used several medicinal herbs and 300-year-old wild ginseng to make this small jar.” Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

Houzi and Bajie were stunned by her words. Not to mention medicinal materials, 300-year-old wild ginseng alone is already very rare. As long as it is certified safe by a doctor, they can sell this small jar of tonic wine for hundreds or even thousands of yuan.

“Sister-in-law, how much does this tonic wine cost?” Houzi asked, slowly placing the wine jar on the table.

Lu Jueyu thought for a while and said, “Eight hundred yuan.”

When Houzi heard the price, he took a breath due to shock. He thought Lu Jueyu would ask for five hundred yuan at most. He didn’t expect her appetite to be so big. This wine jar can only hold up to 500ml of wine!

Noticing Houzi’s hesitation, Lu Jueyu said, “Brother Houzi, I guarantee that my tonic wine is effective. As long as you drink one spoonful a day, even chronic diseases can be cured.”

Houzi was silent after listening to her words. Despite his misgivings, he was willing to believe in the health benefits of her product. Just when he was considering whether to buy tonic wine or not, he heard Lu Jueyu’s words.

“If Brother Houzi is afraid that no one would want to buy the tonic wine, how about you sell it first and then give me the money after you sell it?”

Since she was willing to believe him, Houzi did not refuse and said, “Since my sister-in-law is willing to let me sell it first without paying for the wine, then I will only charge 10% of my fee.” ”

Lu Jueyu nodded and agreed to his offer. She was confident in the effectiveness of her tonic wine. It will definitely be able to sell for a good price.

Houzi calculated the prices of snacks and other items and handed over the money. Lu Jueyu earned nearly 2,000 yuan from snacks, sauces, and wild honey alone. After the transaction, Li Chenmo took his wife to another place to buy food.

Unlike how they do business with Houzi, Li Chenmo had no intention of bringing his wife with him this time. When he reached a dark corner, he pulled his wife and whispered, “Wife, wait for me here.”

Lu Jueyu frowned when she heard this, but looking at his expression, she had a hunch that the food seller might be someone from the dark side. She took out her wallet from her clothes, handed it to her husband, and said, “Husband, be careful.”

“Mhmm. I’ll be right back. “Li Chenmo assured her and then walked into another alley.

Lu Jueyu stood there waiting for him anxiously. On the other side, Li Chenmo knocked on the door rhythmically. Not long after, a man with a long scar on his face opened the door, and his eyes lit up when he saw him.

“Captain!” The man exclaimed in a low voice, full of excitement.

Li Chenmo put his finger on his lips and said in a low voice, “Let’s go in first.”

The man nodded and quickly let him in. The two came to a room and entered a dim corridor from a door after he locked the door. After walking for a while, they came to a large basement. The room was filled with grain, flour, dried meat, and several large boxes.

Several people in the room were busy weighing grain. They stopped working and turned around when they heard a series of footsteps. When they saw Li Chenmo, they all said in unison, “Captain!”

Li Chenmo smiled when he saw them. He nodded at them and asked, “How is everyone?”

“Captain, why are you here in person?” asked a one-armed young man.

“I’m here to buy some food.” Li Chenmo said with a slight smile.

“Captain, you don’t have to pay us. Just take whatever you want.” Another man in a wheelchair said with a grin.

“No, just give me the same price as usual. My wife gave me a lot of money and coupons to buy grains.” Li Chenmo took out his wallet and said proudly.
