Ugly Cultivation Notes

Chapter 290 Bargaining
The shopkeeper put down his wine glass, "Although this spiritual wine is good, if you want to cooperate with our winery, the quantity may not be enough."

"Don't worry, shopkeeper. Since I have found a winery, I will naturally not only brew this batch. However, the second batch of spiritual wine still needs to wait for more than a month. How long it will take depends on the winery."

Xu Chunniang smiled slightly, and asked calmly, "I just wonder how much this spirit wine is worth?"

The shopkeeper pondered for a while, "The No. [-] spirit wine is extremely strong, and most men like to drink it. The No. [-] spirit wine is sweet and sweet, and it is suitable for all ages. The spirit energy contained in the two is almost the same, so it is counted as one of the twenty spirit stones." Jin, how about it?"

Xu Chunniang didn't reply in a hurry, and calculated the cost of wine making in her heart.

One catty of pearl rice can only get two taels of wine, and the purchase price of pearl rice is at least two Lingshi per catty.

Calculated in this way, a catty of spirit wine is the cost of spirit rice, and at least ten spirit stones are needed.

Coupled with the "spiritual spring water" she condensed with spiritual energy, and the time required for brewing wine, it seems that selling twenty spirit stones is not bad.

But other people don't have her ability to conjure spirit spring water out of thin air. If they want to brew spirit wine, purchasing spirit spring is a considerable expense...

Seeing Xu Chunniang's silence for a long time, the shopkeeper knew that his price was lower, so he took the initiative to raise the price, but at the same time, he also put forward a condition.

"If you can provide more than five hundred catties at a time, you may be able to buy it at the price of 22 spirit stones."

Xu Chunniang was taken aback when she heard the words, and swallowed her promise.

Since the shopkeeper is willing to take the initiative to raise the price, it means that the spirit wine she brews is not bad.

She decided to fight for it again, maybe she could get a higher price?

"The No. [-] spirit wine is spicy, but has a rich aroma and long aftertaste. The taste of the No. [-] spirit wine is light and sweet, even a monk like me who doesn't drink alcohol can accept it.

Although I don't know much about wine, the spirit wine sold in restaurants outside often sells for thirty or forty, or even sixty or seventy spirit stones a pot.What's more, the materials I use for brewing wine are not vulgar, presumably for this point, the shopkeeper can taste one or two from the spirit wine. "

The master pondered for a while, "Junior Sister Xu's craftsmanship is not bad, but they are new wines after all, and it's not as good as you and I. We both take a step back and sell them for 25 spirit stones?"

After reaching this price, no matter how much Xu Chunniang tried to talk it out, the shopkeeper always insisted on the price and refused to let go.

She knew that this was the limit of what she could fight for.

The price was finally negotiated, and the shopkeeper heaved a sigh of relief, "I don't know if there are names for these two spirit wines? If there are no names, please ask Junior Sister Xu to help you choose a name."

Xu Chunniang thought for a while, "Let's call it Pearl Drunk and Sweet Dew Fragrance."

The shopkeeper nodded slightly, wrote down two contracts, and handed one of them to her.

"According to the contract, Junior Sister Xu will provide the winery with five hundred catties each of pearl drunkenness and nectar fragrance within two months. As for the appropriate follow-up cooperation, it depends on the specific sales of the first batch of spirit wine."

Xu Chunniang took the contract and the deposit of five thousand spirit stones, and after confirming that they were correct, she left the wine shop and headed towards the cave.

Nearly two months have passed since the Fangshi was attacked. After Zongmen sent more manpower to each Fangshi, they have not been attacked by evil cultivators.

During this period of time, the sect was fairly calm.

It's just that there is still no news from Wuwang Mountain.

The sect later sent some disciples to investigate, but found that the entire Wuwang Mountain seemed to be in some kind of barrier and could not be entered.

Therefore, some elders of Jindan guessed that the monks of the five sects who were crusading against evil cultivators were probably trapped by some kind of formation.

This thought flashed through Xu Chunniang's mind, and then suppressed it.

Not long ago, her spiritual consciousness had made a breakthrough and reached the Golden Core level, but her cultivation was still the solid foundation-building third level.

It's not her turn to take care of these important matters, so I'd better go back to Brewing Spirit Bar first.

After returning to the small world, Xu Chunniang directly used the spirit spring technique to condense the spirit spring.

With previous experience, the second brewing of spirit wine is undoubtedly more proficient, but in ten days, all the spirit rice is soaked, steamed, and fermented in the altar.

It takes a month for the fermentation of Lingmi. During this period, she raised the quality of the six pieces of Lingtian to the second-grade low-grade, and planted a piece of apricot flower by the way.

Just after she planted apricot blossoms, the small world gradually smelled of wine.

In the next few days, the aroma of the wine became stronger and stronger, which meant that the fermentation of this batch of spirit wine was coming to an end.

This day Xu Chunniang entered the small world, and was surrounded by the aroma of wine as soon as she stepped into it.

She was about to open the jars to check the quality, when she paused for a moment, and landed on one of the unsealed wine jars.

The wine jar was originally full of spiritual wine, but now there is only a clean layer left.

And next to the wine jar, lay Xiao Orange and Xiao Bai who were not lightly drunk.

After realizing that what they were drinking was Pearl drunk, Xu Chunniang's complexion changed slightly.

This jar of pearls weighed a hundred catties, did they all drink up?
She hurried forward, the closer she got, the more she could smell the rich aroma of wine emanating from them, it was almost marinated.

Because of drinking too much spiritual wine at one time, Xiaojuzi and Xiaobai were in a state of intoxication, and they might have to sleep for a long time before they could wake up from this state.

After Xu Chunniang checked their status, she couldn't laugh or cry.

After successfully brewing the spirit wine for the first time, Xiaobai and Xiaojuzi showed great interest in the spirit wine, and drank all the remaining pearl drunk and nectar fragrance.

After drinking it all, the two drunken little fellows kept pestering her, as if they were addicted.

Therefore, Xu Chunniang brewed a few more jars of wine this time to satisfy their hunger. Unexpectedly, these two guys killed the whole jar directly.

Thanks to them being spirit beasts, they didn't have any problems after drinking a whole jar of spirit wine.

Xu Chunniang pressed her forehead, checked the quality of the spirit wine, and put away all the jars.

It's not that she feels sorry for these spiritual wines, it's just that indulging in alcohol is not a good habit.

In order to prevent them from secretly drinking when she is not around, it is better to put away all the spirit wine.

Xu Chunniang withdrew from the small world and went to the wine shop last time.

The shopkeeper of the wine shop who received her smiled slightly after seeing Xu Chunniang.

"Junior sister Xu brought the spirit wine?"

"Five altars of pearl drunkenness and five altars of nectar fragrance, please take a look at the treasurer."

As she spoke, she took out ten large jars.

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he got up to inspect the goods one by one, showing satisfaction. After placing two bags full of spirit stones on the table, he took out another sound transmission talisman and put it on it.

"This is the final payment of [-] spirit stones, please check it with Junior Sister Xu. As for the future cooperation, it will not be too late to talk about it later."

Xu Chunniang took a glance with her spiritual sense, then put away the spirit stone and the sound transmission talisman.

She naturally heard the shopkeeper's implication. If the two spirit wines sell well, there will naturally be opportunities for cooperation.

But if it doesn't sell well, I'm afraid that's it.
