After hesitating for a while, Bai Jiu 'er didn't say the word' and 'as if she was in a difficult position.
Until his buck-toothed woman came over and filled a bowl of wine for Ling Dong and Bai Jiu 'er, she said, "Boss, what are you hesitating for? You and I have been young master's people for a long time. If you want to say it, just say it. If you say it, just let young master decide. Why are you so hesitant?" After a pause, she said, "If you don't say it, then I will say it!"
Ling Dong sweated when he heard this. What do you mean by being young master's people for a long time? This buck-toothed woman is also a man. These words sound very ambiguous!
"Women shouldn't meddle in men's affairs!" Bai Jiu 'er scolded his woman, "Go, close the door first!"
Ling Dong looked at the future Heavenly Dipper Realm expert, buck-toothed crazy saber, who left obediently to close the door. His eyeballs almost fell out. She is too obedient! However, Ling Dong immediately understood that this was the so-called "everything has its weakness".
"I've let young master see a joke!" After hesitating for a while, Bai Jiu 'er drank the bowl of wine in front of her in one gulp, wiped the wine stains, and said with some self-mockery, "I'm not afraid of young master laughing at me. My Bai family has been passed down to my father and my generation. If you say that our ancestors were once a glorious family, I don't believe it! If I tell others that I, Bai Jiu 'er, have family rules and ancestral teachings to follow, I'm afraid everyone will think it's a joke! "
Although Ling Dong was confused, he also heard some clues. Bai Jiu 'er seemed to have something that was difficult to say.
"Family rules and ancestral teachings are the foundation of a family and the foundation of a clan. Since there are rules, no matter rich or poor, they must be followed! Moreover, life has ups and downs, and the family naturally has ups and downs! " The ups and downs of life, the rise and fall of a family, Ling Dong in his previous life had a deep understanding. At this time, he spoke with emotion and was extremely sincere!
Bai Jiu 'er, who heard this, was a little excited, "Thank you young master for your understanding. Then, there is one thing that I can say!"
"Speak!"
"Young Master, my ancestors came from a winemaking family, and they have passed down some mysterious ancient wine recipes. The military wine I gave you a few days ago came from one of these recipes! To tell you the truth, there are other similar wine recipes, but all of them require precious and aged herbs! Some of the recipes even required decades or even centuries of aging before they could be made! My father and ancestors loved wine as much as their lives. Their wish when they were alive was to brew this ancient wine! I don't want to restore the family's glory, I only want to restore the ancient wine! "Bai Jiu 'er said with some sadness in her eyes.
Ling Dong didn't say anything. He just looked at Bai Jiu 'er quietly, knowing that she had something else to say.
"A few days ago, I received Young Master's financial support, so I boldly bought some herbs and brewed this military wine! But you've seen the cost. As for this Marching Wine, it's just the simplest ancient wine. Fortunately, this Marching Wine was still useful to Young Master!
As for the wine that would be brewed in the future, not only would it require even more precious herbs, it would also take a longer time. Furthermore, it would be the first time it was brewed, so who knew how many herbs would be wasted. The cost would be enormous. As of now, if I want to brew it, I still need Young Master's financial support! "
At this point, Bai Jiu 'er's expression froze. "Most importantly, I don't know if the wine that I brew in the future will be useful to Young Master. If it's useful, then it's fine, but if it's useless …
"That's how it is. I want to brew wine for Young Master, an ancient wine that's even better than the Marching Wine. However, the cost is extremely high. Just the Marching Wine alone costs tens of thousands of silver taels a month. "Moreover, I also have a trace of selfishness in fulfilling my father's and ancestors' wishes …"
When Ling Dong heard this, he was overjoyed. There were other ancient wines, and they were even better than the current Marching Wine. This Marching Wine could increase one's cultivation by 30%. What kind of ancient wine would be better than the Marching Wine?
Ling Dong was looking forward to it!
"You don't have to worry about the money. Just brew as much as you want!" Others might not know, but Ling Dong knew that once he had the strength to protect himself, Bai Jiu 'er would no longer brew wine, but gold and silver. A mountain of gold and silver. Of course, the premise was that he had the strength to protect this treasure!
"In addition, if you need any precious medicinal materials, just give me a list. I'll send someone to purchase them for you. My Ling family has a shop in the South Mountain Market that specializes in medicinal materials!" Ling Dong said.
When Bai Jiu 'er heard this, she bowed to Ling Dong and said seriously, "Young Master, it's my principle to only brew wine for you. Regardless of whether you take over the Ling family in the future or not, I'll only brew wine for you and not for the Ling family! "It's one of the ancestral teachings of my Bai family to not brew wine for the big families!
"In addition, I know that Young Master has good intentions in purchasing medicinal materials for me, but the ancestral teachings of my Bai family — the process of brewing wine cannot be entrusted to anyone, and the ancient wine recipe and materials must not be leaked. This is also the way of survival passed down in my Bai family. Please forgive me, Young Master!"
Ling Dong stared at Bai Jiu 'er and nodded in satisfaction!
Principles, Ling Dong liked people with principles! Ling Dong liked Bai Jiu 'er, who still adhered to her principles, even when her family was in decline! Those who adhered to their principles were often very loyal! If Bai Jiu 'er did not abide by her principles and casually took a wine recipe to auction, she would probably not lack money!
Ling Dong now understood why Gu Jiu 'er had mentioned the ancestral teachings at the beginning. It turned out that she was preparing for this! She was afraid that Ling Dong would ask for the ancient wine recipe, so she had set up an ambush in advance.
Without any consideration, Ling Dong pretended to touch his chest, and the last 50,000 taels of silver in the storage talisman appeared in his hand. He slammed it on the table and said, "Brew four jars of Marching Wine every month and brew other ancient wines. This is 50,000 taels of silver. You can use it first. In a few days, I will send more silver over. I'm looking forward to your other ancient wines! "
Looking at the 50,000 taels of silver, Bai Jiu 'er was not overly excited. "Young Master, aren't you afraid that I will run away with such a huge sum of money?"
"I'm not afraid! You will regret it if you run away because in the future, I may give you 100,000 taels of silver, 200,000 taels of silver, or even 1,000,000 taels of silver at once. If you run away with 50,000 taels of silver now, wouldn't it be a big loss? "Ling Dong laughed.
Hearing this, Bai Jiu 'er laughed involuntarily and generously accepted the 50,000 taels of silver!
Then Ling Dong reminded her to pay attention to her safety. Not to mention the other ancient wines, just the Marching Wine and Sky Heart Wine that Ling Dong knew about were enough for Ling Dong to treat Bai Jiu 'er as a treasure.
Bai Jiu 'er did not care about this at all. She pointed at the cold wine shop and said to Ling Dong, "I'm just a wine seller. Who will pay attention to me? It's normal for me to brew and sell wine! "
Ling Dong thought about it and agreed. After chatting for a while, he took the two remaining jars of Marching Wine that Bai Jiu 'er brought over and left. He also declined Bai Jiu' er's offer to send him on his way!
After leaving the ancient wine shop and the alley, Ling Dong's hand flashed with a light, and the two jars of Marching Wine in his arms disappeared into thin air. They were stored in the storage talisman!
Ling Dong went straight to the South Mountain Market. Because he had no more silver.
The 50,000 taels of silver that he had just given to Bai Jiu 'er was the last bit of money he won from the gambling house last time. The rest was all spent! Someone would ask why Ling Dong went to the South Mountain Market if he lacked silver. Could it be that the South Mountain Market had silver for Ling Dong to use?
The South Mountain Market did not have silver to take, but there were medicinal herbs to take. And those precious medicinal herbs, in Ling Dong's hands, could be turned into medicinal pills, and medicinal pills could be turned into silver! No one was clearer than Ling Dong about the huge profits of medicinal pills!
Especially in a small place like the South Mountain Region, medicinal pills that could increase the strength of Xiantian Realm martial artists were worth a lot. Of course, the huge profits of these medicinal pills were only limited to Ling Dong.
Take the Ling family's consecrated pill refiner, Master Shui, for example. He could refine a bottle of Xiantian low-level medicinal pills. Each bottle had ten pills, which could be sold for 50,000 to 80,000 taels of silver! With his level, refining ten Xiantian low-level medicinal pills would require more than 15 sets of medicinal herbs. His success rate was only about 50%, and the cost was around 30,000 taels of silver. That was double the profit!
However, in the hands of Ling Dong, an Earth Pill Refiner from his previous life, the success rate of refining Xiantian low-level medicinal pills was definitely above 90%. He could save a lot of costs, and at least make 50% more profit than Master Shui!
However, Ling Dong was not willing to spend a few days desperately refining medicinal pills only to earn tens of thousands of taels of silver. What Ling Dong wanted to refine was a type of Xiantian high-level medicinal pill that could directly increase the cultivation of Xiantian Realm martial artists — the Three Flowered Demonic Aura Pill! While giving it to his father to increase his cultivation, Ling Dong wanted to make a few hundred thousand taels of silver!
The Three Flowered Demonic Aura Pill required a lot of medicinal herbs, and it was impossible to gather them all in a short period of time. Therefore, ten days ago, Ling Dong had entrusted this matter to the South Mountain Market Square's Deacon, and asked them to gather the medicinal herbs required to refine the Three Flowered Demonic Aura Pill!
It had been half a month, and Ling Dong estimated that he had collected almost all of them! The reason why he was rushing to the South Mountain Market Square was to collect the medicinal herbs!
South Mountain Region was not big, and with Ling Dong's speed, it only took him a quarter of an hour to reach it. After his cultivation had increased, his walking speed seemed to have increased by 20%!
When he arrived at the Ling family's business in the South Mountain Market Square, a sharp-eyed servant reported to the Deacon here from afar, and a middle-aged Deacon came out to greet him.
This Deacon's surname was Wu. When he was young, he had been Ling Yuanshan's follower for more than ten years. He had watched Ling Dong grow up, and Ling Yuanshan trusted him very much. After Zhao Songyuan was killed, Ling Yuanshan took over the South Mountain Market Square, and sent Deacon Wu to manage this place!
"Third Young Master, why did you come personally today? Where's Gao Yuan, that killing talent? If there's something you need, you can just send him here. Why do you have to trouble yourself? "
"Uncle Wu, I specially came to see you today!" Ling Dong laughed. This Deacon Wu had a deep relationship with his father, so Ling Dong usually called him Uncle Wu.
When Deacon Wu heard this, his mouth cracked into a smile, "How can this old servant be remembered by Young Master? I'm tough!" As he spoke, he invited Ling Dong into the inner room. "Third Young Master, you're here to collect the medicinal herbs you asked for last time, right?" This Deacon Wu was also a shrewd person, so he naturally knew what Ling Dong was here for!
Ling Dong nodded, "Yes, Uncle Wu. How's the acquisition going?"
Hearing this, Deacon Wu's face turned serious, "Young Master, the medicinal herbs you asked for are more expensive this time, and the quantity is also larger. Although it took some twists and turns, we've collected enough. However, because of some unforeseen circumstances in the family, the silver is very tight, and we're still short of one thing! "
"Unforeseen circumstances, what unforeseen circumstances?"
