Chapter 89: As long as you come, you will fall into the trap
"Alas, I am devoted to martial arts. I heard that Shen Yun Sect is the only top-grade martial arts sect in the surrounding counties, so I came here specifically to become a disciple. I didn't expect that I have already passed the age for entry."
Lin Ye had a look of disappointment on his face. Actually, not being able to become a disciple of Shen Yun Sect was just a pity for him, and he didn't have to join Shen Yun Sect.
What he wanted was someone to tell him how to break through Jingzhe.
When he followed Lei Yangpo's mental method, he felt as if there was a layer of membrane blocking in front of him. No matter how he practiced his mental method, he could not break through this membrane.
"Junior brother, you don't need to be disappointed. No matter how strict the Shen Yun Sect is, it can't be as clear-cut as our Buddhist and Taoist sects. If you can get the abbot to make an exception, I think the Shen Yun Sect can handle it too."
Dao Hai suddenly interrupted with a sentence, which Wu Si could not understand, but Lin Ye smiled knowingly.
Even my senior brother knows my ability to make money.
Wu Si didn't quite understand, but he was smart enough not to interrupt and just listened quietly.
"Wu Si, can you introduce me to an elder of Shen Yun Sect, preferably one who is more interested in talent?"
"Love talent?"
Seeing Lin Ye gave him a look, Wu Si understood. It was because he loved money.
"Mr. Lin, this is a bit difficult. The elders of Shen Yun Sect are not short of gold and silver items, but I know that one of the elders has a unique preference."
"What's your hobby?"
"He loves wine and is addicted to it. If you want to get him to do something, all you need is some good wine."
Lin Ye's heart moved. He had tasted the wine from the other world before. The alcohol content was not very high, a bit similar to the rice wine in the real world. If so, he could go back to the real world and buy some rice wine.
After the banquet, Lin Ye left a few ounces of silver as consulting fees. Wu Si was very happy and excitedly promised to find out more about Shen Yun Sect.
After returning to his room in the inn, Lin Ye teleported back to the modern era without hesitation and came to the wine cellar in the basement.
There are all kinds of wine in the wine cellar, including white wine, yellow wine, red wine, foreign wine...
Lin Ye picked out a few bottles of white wine that he had heard of and several types of yellow wine and sent them all to ancient times.
The next day!
Lin Ye found the owner of the restaurant.
"Mr. Lin, what's the matter?"
"Want to do business with the shopkeeper?"
"Business, Master Lin, you must be joking. How could a noble like you be interested in my small business?"
"To be honest, my ancestors once owned a winery. I came here this time to supply wine to the owner's restaurant."
"Supply wine. I already have a wine shop here. Master Lin, your request..."
The shopkeeper looked embarrassed, but Lin Ye knew it clearly. No matter in the other world or in reality, purchasing was a lucrative department. The shopkeeper must have some profit transfer with the winery and would not easily switch to another winery.
But this is not the kind of cooperation model he wants.
"Shopkeeper, my cooperation method is a little different. The production of my wine is not large, and it is a rare product. I want to use your restaurant to hold a wine tasting conference and invite wine lovers from all over the county to taste it. Each type of wine is priced at 100 taels."
"One hundred taels?"
The shopkeeper was shocked by the price offered by Lin Ye. Their entire inn and restaurant were only worth a few hundred taels. This bottle of wine was worth half of the restaurant. What kind of wine was that?
"Whether it can be sold or not, don't worry about it, I'm just borrowing your restaurant to hold the event. I'd also like to trouble you to help publicize it."
This price must be high, Lin Ye is very clear about it, but his purpose is not to sell wine, but to attract the elder of Shen Yun Men. A wine tasting conference alone may not be able to attract him, but if he marks the wine at a sky-high price, anyone would be curious about what kind of wine is worth this price, let alone those who are wine lovers.
Fifty taels!
When Lin Ye offered the venue fee, the shopkeeper readily agreed. Wasn't it just borrowing the restaurant's venue? This could also help promote the restaurant's reputation .
Only a fool would not make money like this. As for whether the wine can be sold, Master Lin also said that it has nothing to do with their restaurant, so I'm sure the owner will agree.
"Boss, after the wine tasting, if anyone asks about the origin of this wine, you don't need to tell ordinary people. If there is someone who really loves wine, tell him that this wine was brewed by Xu's Winery in Shangyang County."
"Okay, let's do everything according to what Master Lin said."
The shopkeeper readily agreed, saying that since you are the one paying the money, you have the final say on everything.
…
…
Lin Ye handed over a bottle of each of the several types of wine he brought back from the modern era to the shopkeeper, indicating that the shopkeeper should open them at the wine tasting conference. He also informed him of the process of opening rice wine and foreign wine.
After agreeing on the cooperation, Lin Ye did not stay in the county town and returned to Shangyang County with Dao Hai.
"Junior brother, you are not going to Shen Yun Sect?"
"No, instead of going there first, it's better to wait for others to come to you."
Lin Ye answered meaningfully. In many cases, when both the buyer and the seller have needs, the initiative is very important.
After returning to Shangyang County, Lin Ye took Xu Bo to Chen's Winery in the city.
At first, the other party refused to sell it on the grounds that it was an ancestral winery. But when he offered a ten-fold premium, the other party sold the winery readily, muttering that he felt guilty towards his ancestors, and also gave away the secret recipe for winemaking passed down from his ancestors.
What a filial descendant.
Chen's Winery was renamed Xu's Winery, and Lin Ye asked Xu Bo to be the person in charge of the winery.
After finishing all this, Lin Ye returned to the mansion and practiced martial arts leisurely every day.
Three days later, Xu Bo brought an old man into the mansion.
"Uncle Xu, are there any guests coming?"
"Master Daohai, this person wants to see our boss."
Daohai looked at the old man in front of him. The old man was dressed very shabbily, not much better than a beggar on the street, but Daohai did not dare to underestimate him. He had a deep spiritual power and was a true martial arts master.
"I wonder what this senior's name is, and what do you want to see my junior brother for?"
"Junior brother?"
The old man glanced at Xu Bo and asked curiously, "Your boss is a Buddhist disciple . It's really rare for a Buddhist disciple to make wine."
Xu Bo didn't know how to explain it, so Dao Hai took over and said, "Amitabha, Junior Brother is a lay disciple of my Buddhist sect, so you don't need to observe the precepts."
"Whether it is a secular sect or not has nothing to do with me. Where is your junior brother?"
"It's unfortunate that my junior brother has recently encountered a difficult situation and has been in seclusion. I'm afraid it's difficult for him to see guests. If you have anything to say, please tell me. I will definitely pass it on when my junior brother comes out of seclusion."
"I can tell you, do you still have the Quanliang liquid brewed by your junior brother?"
"Quanliang Liquid?" Dao Hai shook his head and said, "Only my junior brother knows this."
"Then what the hell is your junior brother in seclusion for? How long will it take?"
"I can't be sure about this. In addition to practicing my Buddhist magical powers, my junior brother also loves to practice martial arts. He has recently encountered difficulties in martial arts, so he chose to go into seclusion."
When the old man heard Dao Hai's words, a playful smile appeared on his face: "So you are waiting for me here. In that case, I should show myself when I come."
Dao Hai was stared at by the old man, and the scar on his forehead turned slightly red. He knew that his junior brother was not really in seclusion, and these words were also told to him in advance by his junior brother. If anyone came to visit, and was a martial artist, he should respond with these words.
As a monk, he was not good at lying, and being found out was extremely embarrassing. Fortunately, his face was full of flesh and his fierce look concealed the embarrassment.
The old man strode towards the inside. Seeing this, Xu Bo was about to stop him, but Dao Hai gave Xu Bo a look and said that his junior brother had told him that if he was seen through, there was no need to stop him.
backyard!
Lin Ye smiled as he looked at the old man who came in, clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "This junior greets you, senior."
"Stop talking nonsense. Give me ten jars of your Moutai liquor. I can help you solve a problem, but it must not violate my moral principles."
The old man got straight to the point. Lin Ye was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said to Uncle Xu who followed him in: "Uncle Xu, show me out!"
After saying that, Lin Ye turned around and walked towards the inner room.
Old man: ...
Michikai: ...
"Please come in, guest."
The old man ignored Xu Bo and looked at Lin Ye's departing back, staring at him until one of Lin Ye's feet stepped over the threshold of the inner room, then he spoke.
"Two things..."
Lin Ye seemed not to have heard and stepped his other foot into the threshold.
"Three... most... that's the most."
The old man was unwilling to give up. Lin Ye paused for a moment, but then continued to walk inside.
"As long as it's not murder or arson, three things!"
Lin Ye had his back to the old man with a smile on his face. This was within his expectations.
The old man already knew that this was a trap he had set up deliberately, but he did not leave. Instead, he took the initiative to propose conditions for exchange. It seemed that he had taken the initiative, but in fact he exposed his weakness of loving this wine.
Lin Ye turned around, his face Senior, your words are too polite. How dare I ask for anything? But since you have spoken, I dare not refuse the gift. I will do as you say."
The old man opened his mouth slightly and was silent for a moment, as if he couldn't find any words to describe his emotions at the moment.
After all, the language of people in other worlds is not as rich as that of people in modern society.
