"No problem." Su Qingyue readily agreed.
"What a missed opportunity." Shopkeeper Duan shook his head, his face full of regret. "Having nothing else to do, I'll leave first."
"I also have some fine bayberry wine for sale," Su Qingyue said, "I wonder if you are interested?"
Shopkeeper Duan paused. "Can bayberries be made into wine?"
"Yes." Su Qingyue said, "Please follow me."
The group walked into the hall.
Su Qingyue spoke to Tao Meijiao, "Can you please get three cups and a small spoon for serving the wine?"
Tao Meijiao motioned to the maid Du Juan.
Du Juan then left the living room, and when she returned, she was carrying a tray with four cups on it.
"Third brother, pour four cups of wine."
Xiao Yuchuan opened the wine jar beside the chair and filled three cups halfway with the wine.
Su Qingyue motioned for Tao Meijiao, Shopkeeper Duan, and Jin Xun to each hold a cup.
The three tasted the wine. Jin Xun took a sip and said, "Aromatic and full-bodied, this is good wine!"
