The shopkeeper put down the wine glass and said, "Although this spiritual wine is good, if you want to cooperate with our winery, this amount may not be enough."
"Don't worry, boss. Since I've found the winery, I won't just brew this batch. But the second batch of spirit wine will take more than a month to prepare. How long it will take depends on the winery."
Xu Chunniang smiled slightly and asked calmly, "I just wonder how much this spiritual wine is worth?"
The shopkeeper pondered for a moment, "Number One Spiritual Wine is very strong, and male cultivators mostly like to drink it. Number Ten Spiritual Wine is sweet and refreshing, and is suitable for both young and old. The spiritual energy contained in the two is almost the same, so let's count it as twenty spirit stones per pound, how do you do it?"
Xu Chunniang did not reply in a hurry, but calculated the cost of brewing wine in her mind.
One pound of pearl rice can only be exchanged for two taels of wine, and the purchase price of pearl rice is at least two spirit stones per pound.
By this calculation, the cost of spiritual rice alone for one pound of spiritual wine would require at least ten spiritual stones.
Add to that the "spiritual spring water" she condensed with spiritual energy, and the time required to brew wine, and it seemed like a good deal to sell it for twenty spirit stones.
But others don't have her ability to conjure spiritual spring water out of thin air. If they want to brew spiritual wine, purchasing spiritual spring water is a considerable expense...
Seeing that Xu Chunniang remained silent for a long time, the shopkeeper knew that his price was a little low, so he raised the price a little, but at the same time he also put forward a condition.
"If you can provide more than 500 kilograms at a time, I may purchase it at the price of 22 spirit stones."
Xu Chunniang was stunned when she heard this and swallowed the words she was about to agree to.
Since the shopkeeper is willing to raise the price, it means that the wine she brews is not bad.
She decided to try again, maybe she could get a higher price.
"Spiritual wine number one tastes spicy, but has a strong aroma and a long aftertaste. Spiritual wine number ten tastes light and sweet, and even a cultivator like me who doesn't drink alcohol can accept it.
Although I don't know much about wine, the spirit wine sold in the restaurants outside is often sold for thirty or forty, or even sixty or seventy spirit stones per pot. Moreover, the spiritual energy of the materials I use to make wine is quite good, and I believe that the shopkeeper can taste this from the spirit wine. "
The controller hesitated for a moment, "Junior Sister Xu's cooking skills are not bad, but these are new wines after all. Besides, why don't we both take a step back and offer 25 spirit stones?"
After reaching this price, no matter how Xu Chunniang tried to persuade him, the shopkeeper still insisted on the price and refused to budge.
She knew that this was the limit of what she could strive for.
The price was finally agreed upon, and the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief. "Do these two kinds of spirit wine have names? If not, please help me come up with names, Junior Sister Xu."
Xu Chunniang thought for a while and said, "Let's call them Pearl Drunk and Sweet Dew Fragrance."
The shopkeeper nodded slightly, wrote down two contracts, and handed one to her.
"According to the contract, Junior Sister Xu will provide the winery with 500 kilograms of Pearl Drunk and Nectar Fragrance each within two months. As for the suitability of subsequent cooperation, it will depend on the specific sales of the first batch of spirit wines."
Xu Chunniang took the contract and the deposit of five thousand spirit stones, and after confirming that everything was correct, she left the winery and headed towards the cave.
Nearly two months have passed since the market town was attacked. After the sect sent more personnel to each market town, there have been no more attacks by evil cultivators.
During this period, the sect was relatively peaceful.
However, there was still no news coming back from Wuwang Mountain.
The sect later sent some disciples to investigate, but they found that the entire Wuwang Mountain seemed to be in some kind of barrier and could not be entered.
Therefore, a Jindan elder speculated that the cultivators from the five sects who were fighting against the evil cultivators were most likely trapped in some kind of formation.
This thought flashed through Xu Chunniang's mind, but she then suppressed it.
Not long ago, her spiritual consciousness had a breakthrough and reached the Golden Core level, but her cultivation was still at the third level of Foundation Establishment.
It was not her turn to take care of these important matters, so she should go back to the Brewing Spirit Bar first.
After returning to the small world, Xu Chunniang directly began to condense spiritual spring water with the spiritual spring water.
With the previous experience, he was undoubtedly more skilled in brewing the spirit wine the second time. It only took ten days to soak and steam all the spirit rice and put it into the jar for fermentation.
It takes a month for the spiritual rice to ferment. During this time, she upgraded the quality of the six spiritual fields to the second-level lower grade, and planted a field of apricot flowers.
Just after she planted the apricot flowers, the aroma of wine gradually wafted through the small world.
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 nearing completion.
That 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 jar to check the quality, but suddenly her eyes paused and fell on one of the opened jars of wine.
The jar that was originally full of spirit wine now only has a smooth bottom.
Next to the wine jar lay Xiaojuzi and Xiaobai, who were both very drunk.
After realizing that what they drank was Pearl Drunk, Xu Chunniang's expression changed slightly.
This jar of pearl wine weighs a hundred kilograms. Did they drink it all
She hurried forward. The closer she got, the more she could smell the rich aroma of wine emanating from them. They were simply marinated in wine.
Because they drank too much spirit wine at once, Xiaojuzi and Xiaobai were in a state of drunkenness. They would probably have to sleep for a long time before they could wake up from this state.
After checking their condition, Xu Chunniang felt a little amused and helpless.
After successfully brewing the spirit wine for the first time, Xiaobai and Xiaojuzi showed great interest in the spirit wine and drank up all the remaining Pearl Drunk and Ganluxiang.
After drinking it all, the two drunken little guys kept pestering her, looking quite addicted.
So this time, Xu Chunniang specially brewed a few more jars to satisfy their cravings, but she didn't expect that these two guys would directly finish a whole jar.
Fortunately, they are spiritual animals, so they drank a whole jar of spiritual wine without any problems.
Xu Chunniang pressed her forehead, checked the quality of the wine, and put away all the jars.
It's not that she felt sorry for the wine, but being addicted to drinking was not a good habit.
In order to prevent them from secretly drinking the wine when she is not around, it would be better to put all the wine away.
Xu Chunniang exited the small world and went to the winery where she had been last time.
The person who received her was the owner of the winery, who smiled slightly when he saw Xu Chunniang.
"Did Junior Sister Xu bring the spirit wine?"
"Five jars of pearl wine and five jars of nectar incense, please have a look, shopkeeper brother."
As she spoke, she took out ten large jars.
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he stood up and checked the goods one by one, revealing a look of satisfaction. After placing two bags full of spirit stones on the table, he took out a sound transmission note and placed it on top.
"This is the final payment of 20,000 spirit stones. Please check it, Junior Sister Xu. As for future cooperation, it won't be too late to discuss it later."
Xu Chunniang took a quick look with her spiritual sense and then put away the spirit stone and the sound transmission talisman.
She naturally understood the shopkeeper's implication. If these two kinds of spirit wine sold well, there would naturally be opportunities for cooperation.
But if it doesn’t sell well, I’m afraid that’s the end of it.
