Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

"My master has always kept a low profile. I don't have a seal to prove it, but Brother Zhang has a Tianxiao Sect disciple badge. Can it be used as proof?"

When saying this, Li Yi's face looked normal, but he was still somewhat nervous in his heart. Although Dayu and Da Qi were bordering each other, the territories of the two realms were vast. Lingzhou was in the west and Tianxiaomen was in the east, with a difference of more than a million miles. It would be quite difficult for the two of them to prove their identities.

Zhang Sheng also knew the difficulty, so he took off the ID card from his waist and handed it to Song Luzhou.

Seeing Song Luzhou handing the badge to the waiter beside him, the two couldn't help but feel a little nervous. The badge was real, but they were afraid that these people wouldn't know its value.

Song Luzhou seemed to be doing his normal job, inviting people to drink tea and chatting.

The waiter quickly returned with the badge in his hand. After whispering a few words to Song Luzhou, he put the badge down, bowed, and left.

Returning the waist badge to Zhang Sheng, Song Luzhou said with a smile on his face: "You two fellow Taoists have come from afar. I wonder what kind of deal you want to make with our clan?"

Noticing the change in Song Luzhou's words, Li Yi and Zhang Sheng looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

They all had guesses about what the waiter was doing with the badge. He was just trying to verify its authenticity.

They originally thought that the Song family had only recently risen to power and was located in a remote area, so it would be difficult to verify the facts. However, they did not expect that the results would come out so quickly.

Although it was just a small matter, it reflected the Song family's ability in intelligence, which made the two of them even more impressed with the Song family.

Li Yi nudged Zhang Sheng with his elbow, and Zhang Sheng immediately understood what he meant. He coughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Song, may I ask if the nobles have a winemaking master?"

After hearing this, Song Luzhou understood their purpose. He put down the tea bowl in his hand and said calmly, "Why do you ask this question, fellow Taoist?"

Although he did not give a direct answer, he did not deny it either. The two of them immediately looked happy, knowing that they had not come to the wrong place. Zhang Sheng hurriedly said:

"It's like this. My two brothers and I accidentally got a pot of spiritual wine called Bamboo Leaf Green in Yu Shi Fang. After drinking it, we felt that it had miraculous effects and an endless aftertaste. We also saw the word "Song" written on the bottom of the pot, so we made this guess."

After hearing Zhang Sheng's narration, Song Luzhou was not surprised. Song Yushi's original intention was to attract other people's attention, trigger speculation and discussion, and then reveal the true identity of "Master Song" at the appropriate time, so as to make Xia Yunxue famous.

But I didn’t expect that the first people to come to me were people from the Dayu cultivation world. This was quite a pleasant surprise.

Song Luzhou no longer concealed the truth and said frankly, "Bamboo Leaf Green is indeed produced by our clan, and our clan does have a third-level brewing master.

However, her surname is not Song, but Xia, and she is the biological mother of our clan leader."

"I see. The transaction that Zhang mentioned is related to this spiritual wine. I hope the nobles can establish a long-term spiritual wine trade channel with us. I will take as many [Bamboo Leaf Green] as you can get. The price will definitely satisfy Fellow Daoist Song."

Zhang Sheng was full of confidence. Treasures that could dissolve the poison were urgently needed anywhere. The Tianxiao Sect was a large and powerful family, so they could handle as much as they wanted.

Hearing this, Song Luzhou seemed to be tempted, but still shook his head.

Zhang Sheng was a little anxious when he saw this, and quickly added: "Considering the distance between the Song family and our sect, our clan can also take care of all the transportation. What do you think, fellow Daoist?"

Before Song Luzhou could answer, a clear voice rang out from outside the door: "We already know your sincerity, but I have a question that I hope you two Taoist friends can answer."

Li Yi and Zhang Sheng turned around at the same time, and saw a pretty woman in a peach pink dress and a jade hairpin slowly walking into the hall. She smiled slightly, bowed to Song Luzhou, said "Fifth Uncle", and then looked at the two of them and said:

"My name is Song Yushi. I am currently the elder of the family and I am in charge of foreign trade. You two can talk to me about anything."

When they suddenly changed the person in the middle of the conversation, Zhang Sheng was a little confused for a moment and could only look at Song Luzhou: "Daoyou..."

Song Luzhou coughed lightly and said, "I am only responsible for the family affairs now. If you two really want to talk, please talk to Yu Shi. She can fully represent the family in this regard."

After saying that, Song Luzhou stood up, put his hands behind his back and left the hall leisurely.

"Farewell, Uncle Wu."

Song Luzhou just left like that. Looking at his departing back, Zhang Sheng's mouth twitched slightly. He felt as if ten thousand horses covered in mud and weeds were galloping past.

"Mmmm, I've almost revealed all my cards and you're telling me the negotiations have just begun?" Zhang Sheng cursed Song Luzhou in his heart for being treacherous, but he still had a sincere smile on his face and said, "Elder Song, what are your doubts?"

Song Yushi smiled and said, "Establishing a long-term spiritual wine trade is a big deal. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Zhang can make a decision on behalf of Tianxiao Sect?"

Hearing this, Zhang Sheng straightened his back and said, "As a direct disciple, I still have some authority. Don't worry, fellow Taoist."

Hearing this resounding declaration, Song Yushi remained silent. She looked at Li Yi and said, "What about Fellow Daoist Li?"

"My master is a famous wine brewer. Today, I came here to visit Master Xia and to buy a few jars of Bamboo Leaf Green. I have no other intentions."

Li Yike had no idea of ​​establishing long-term trade. His master was a well-known wine-making master. If he dared to do so, he would be beaten to death when he returned.

"I see. I can take the initiative to send two jars of Bamboo Leaf Green to you. You can follow the waiter to get them now."

"This...thank you very much, Elder Song."

Li Yi hesitated for a moment, then generously accepted Song Yushi's kindness. He knew in his heart that these two jars of wine were not for him, but for his master.

"You are too polite, fellow Taoist. Please don't think it is too little.

Chen'er, take Li Daoyou to get some wine. Oh, and give Li Daoyou two jars of [Hundred Fruit Wine].

"Yes." The maid standing behind Song Yushi knelt down and accepted the order, walked to Li Yi's side, and made a "please" gesture.

Li Yi knew that Song Yushi was asking him to leave in disguise, but the other party was polite and his reasons were reasonable, so he couldn't get angry. He had to get up and follow the maid to get wine, leaving Song Yushi and Zhang Sheng alone.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, this is a detailed list of the spiritual wines that our clan is currently producing. You can take a look at it first."

After the two men left, Song Yushi took out a list from her sleeve and handed it to Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng took a quick look and found that the Song family produced many kinds of spiritual wine, but except for [Bamboo Leaf Green] and another third-level spiritual wine called [Hundred Fruit Wine], he was not very interested in any of them.

Although Tianxiao Sect did not have a master brewer, there were still many low-level brewers. After careful consideration, Zhang Sheng put the list on the table beside him and said softly, "There are many purple mansion monks in our sect, and the demand for third-level spirit wine is very high. I wonder how much of these two third-level spirit wines the nobles can provide each year?"

"How much does your family need?" Song Yushi asked in return.

After doing some calculations in his mind, Zhang Sheng stretched out five fingers and then another finger and said, "Five hundred kilograms of Bamboo Leaf Green, and one thousand kilograms of Hundred Fruit Wine."

Hearing this, Song Yushi was a little surprised. The current market price of [Bamboo Leaf Green] is about one thousand spirit stones, and [Hundred Fruit Wine] also costs three hundred spirit stones. This person asked for a spirit wine worth eight hundred thousand spirit stones. He really was very rich.

Of course, she also knew that things are valuable because they are rare, and with such a huge demand, it is almost impossible to maintain the market price. But no matter what, hundreds of thousands of spirit stones are needed.

This is also a big business for the Song family. After all, the Song family’s current net profit per year is only a few hundred thousand spirit stones.

If possible, she really wanted to agree to it immediately, but unfortunately, it was impossible for the Song family to achieve this output at the moment.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, it is difficult to brew a third-level spirit wine. You want too much."

Hearing this, Zhang Sheng's expression remained unchanged. He was friends with Li Yi, so he naturally knew how impressive the production of third-grade spirit wine was. He deliberately asked for so much just to make bargaining easier.

"How much can the nobles offer?"

Song Yushi pondered for a while and then said, "50 catties of Bamboo Leaf Green and 200 catties of Hundred Fruit Wine."

Hearing the number she reported, Zhang Sheng was immediately very dissatisfied. This was too big a difference. Tianxiao Sect was not a small sect. This was not enough to fill the gap.

"Elder Song, please add more. This amount is really not enough. We can make appropriate concessions on the price."

"It's not that my clan is hiding it, it's really because the production is limited. This is already the limit, and we can't supply any more." Song Yushi refused.

The Song family's annual output is naturally more than this, but she also has to consider the future. The family will have to rely on them to open up the market in the Da Qi cultivation world in the future, so a portion of them must be kept on hand.

Also, it is not a wise move to put all your eggs in one basket.

Seeing Song Yushi's firm attitude, Zhang Sheng had no choice but to accept reality.

Finally, the two agreed that the spiritual wine would be delivered at the end of each year, with the Tianxiao Sect being responsible for transportation and a 20% discount on the price. [Bamboo Leaf Green] would cost 800 low-grade spiritual stones per catty (jar), and [Hundred Fruit Wine] would cost 240 spiritual stones per catty. The total payment per year would be 88,000 spiritual stones, with a prepayment of 17,600 each time as a deposit.

Nearing evening, Song Yushi sent Zhang Sheng down the mountain with a smile on his face, and gave him two jars of [Bamboo Leaf Green] before leaving.

She couldn't afford to be unhappy. Zhang Sheng had no talent for negotiation, which gave her an advantage in the negotiations.

With an annual income of nearly 90,000 yuan, there is basically no risk. After deducting the costs, there are nearly 50,000 spirit stones left. As long as the subsequent maintenance is good, it will be enough to become the fifth largest economic pillar of the Song family.

Once the stalls in places like Yangzhou and Bianzhou are successfully set up, the family's annual profit will be no less than 100,000, which will be close to or even exceed the family's annual income from the sale of spiritual plants and elixirs.

Song Yushi called a steward and ordered, "Ask the winery to increase production. The existing capacity is not enough."

The production volume was not expanded blindly. Due to the limitation of raw materials, the production volume of [Bamboo Leaf Green] and [Hundred Fruit Wine] was almost reaching the limit. Therefore, she did not lie to Zhang Sheng before. No matter how much more, Song's company would not be able to supply...

She had brokered a big deal, and other aspects were also proceeding in an orderly manner. As batches of spirit wine were released in various ways, because of its excellent quality and the secret promotion of Fengyu Palace, the name of "Master Song" became known to more and more people.

During this period, many people guessed the relationship between "Master Song" and the Song family, and came to buy. Xia Yunxue's identity as a third-level winemaker also spread like wildfire.

However, most of them were rejected by Song Yushi due to insufficient production capacity, and only ten jars were given to Baicaotang, Tianjian Sect, Huansha Sect, and Fumo Palace.

Yu Shi Fang also sent people, but they wanted to ask for the purchase of wine and offered a price of one million spirit stones. Song Yu Shi naturally couldn't afford that, so she tactfully rejected the other party and established a long-term supply chain with them.

Five jars of [Bamboo Leaf Green] are supplied every month, and sixty jars are supplied every year. Each jar costs eight hundred spirit stones and is delivered to your door.

This quantity exceeded the Song family's ability to supply, so they had no choice but to take some out of the family's own use.

There is no other way. This opportunity is too rare. If we establish contact with Yu Shi Fang now, we won’t have to worry about the sales problem in Luoxia City when the new wine comes out in the future...

The Song family's spiritual wine trade is in full swing, so Luoxia City naturally cannot be unaware of it.

Inside the hall, Zhan Tianxia stared at the information being reported from below, his face showing no emotion.

After a long time, he sent someone to call Niu Dazhuang, handed him a jade slip and said, "Take this to see Changsheng and exchange it for 100 jars of Bamboo Leaf Green. Remember, 100 jars per year."

As the most popular spirit wine at the moment, a jar of Bamboo Leaf Green has been sold for 1,400 spirit stones. Niu Dazhuang has naturally heard of this. When he heard Zhan Tianxia's words, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "You can exchange this thing for 100 jars of Bamboo Leaf Green? And 100 jars every year.

Master, if you want [Bamboo Leaf Green], just tell Junior Brother directly. This method is not appropriate."

Obviously, Niu Dazhuang misunderstood something.

Seeing his silly look, Zhan Tianxia said unhappily, "If I say it's worth it, then it's worth it. Do you think I'll force you to buy it or sell it to you?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing his words, Niu Dazhuang's eyes widened even more, and he shouted, "Master, what treasure did you take out from the bottom of your box? Does Master know?"

The veins on Zhan Tianxia's forehead gradually popped up. After a moment, he couldn't bear it anymore and pointed at the door and roared, "Get out!"

Seeing that Zhan Tianxia was really angry, Niu Dazhuang grabbed the jade slip and fled the hall as fast as possible, heading straight for Cangmang Peak...

Because he was in the Wutong Realm and could not receive any communication from the outside world, when Song Changsheng learned about this, Niu Dazhuang had already been living a life of freeloading on Cangmang Peak for more than a month.

During this month, Song Luzhou, Song Xianming, and even Xia Yunxue asked him many times about his purpose, but Niu Dazhuang refused to tell them and insisted on negotiating with Song Changsheng in person.

Song Luzhou had no choice but to send a deacon to the Wutong Mountains to look for Song Changsheng...
