Before approaching the manor, a middle-aged man rode up to the manor with several servants. When Chen Zining saw it, he felt familiar. Then he remembered that this man was the leader of the Guangtong Chamber of Commerce on his way to Qinghua City last time.
The leader of the team, Chen Zining, also received a reward of two hundred gold coins from him.
Du Tao shouted: "Third uncle, are you here too? Didn't I say you were leading a team to Nan'an City some time ago?"
"I just came back yesterday."
The middle-aged man smiled and introduced himself to Chen Zining and Miao Shufang: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Miao, welcome to the Du family manor. My wife, Du Yue, is a steward in the Chamber of Commerce. When you come here, you will feel like you are at your own home.
No need to be formal."
Chen Zining said: "We and Xiao Tao are like brothers, but we really have no intention of being polite."
Du Yue made a gesture of invitation, walked side by side, and said with a smile: "That's good. Speaking of which, Mr. Chen is still the benefactor of my Du family. He has never had a chance to thank me. I'm here today, so I might as well stay a few more days."
"Guan Du is serious about what he said. The meeting coincided with the meeting that day and it was not due to Chen's fault."
After speaking, he handed over the gift box containing eight blood dragon fruits and said: "A small gift is not a sign of respect."
"Mr. Chen is too polite."
"Let's go in quickly. If we have anything to say, we can talk inside." Du Tao said impatiently.
"Yes! Yes! Please come in quickly, the master is waiting in the hall."
The so-called manor is actually a large castle, covering an area of no less than two thousand acres. There is also a wall nearly ten feet high surrounding the manor. The walls are densely covered with crossbows and are heavily guarded. Once you enter the gate, you will see that there is an inner city inside.
, the city wall is higher than the outer city. Obviously, the farmers and servants of the manor live in the outer city, while the people of the Du family live in the inner city.
After entering the inner city gate, the group got off their horses and handed the reins to the people in the manor. After passing several pavilions, they entered the center of the inner city. Along the way, there were groups of servants and strong warriors, showing that the Du family should not be underestimated.
strength.
Du Tao said: "This manor is more important to my family than the Chamber of Commerce in the city. I lived here until I was ten years old."
At the door of the hall, Du Xing, the head of the Du family, came out. Chen Zining felt a little fond of him when he saw him. This fat man was 50% similar to Du Tao, but he was just a bit bigger. Anyone who looked at him could recognize him and Du Tao.
Tao is a father and son.
Chen Zining said: "Master Du, I am taking the liberty of coming. I hope I won't disturb you."
Du Xing opened his mouth with a hearty laugh and said: "What are you talking about? From now on, you two will treat it as your own home. You can come whenever you want. If you don't mind, just call me uncle, or call me uncle."
It’s okay to call me senior, because I was also a graduate of the college back then, and now more than 20 years have passed.”
The four of them entered the hall, and several beautiful maids each presented a cup of tea. Chen Zining and others picked it up and smelled it. A refreshing fragrance penetrated their noses, and they suddenly felt refreshed.
This is a spiritual tea. Chen Zining doesn't need to taste it to know that it is the Mengxian Lingcha that is as famous as the Miwu Lingcha he planted in the Immortal Mansion. Just this cup is worth a lot of money.
"Uncle Du really enjoys Mengxian Lingcha. It's a pity that I came in a hurry. I have a few Miwu Lingcha plants at home and I haven't been able to pick some." Chen Zining said with a smile. The ten Lingcha trees in the fairy mansion now only have a thigh.
It's tall, but it grows very well. If you insist on picking it, you can still scrape together half a tael or eighty yuan, but in a month or two, it will be produced continuously. It doesn't matter how much you can sell, just drink it for yourself.
, and it is enough for giving gifts.
"Oh! Mi Wu Ling Tea? Because this tea is difficult to grow, it is even rarer than Meng Xian Ling Tea. It seems that I will have the pleasure to taste it in the future." Du Xing looked very interested.
Du Xing chatted with Miao Shufang for a few more words and said with a smile: "I have admired the name of the Donghu Miao family for a long time, and the Lingyu Brocade is even more famous in the world. I also have a Lingyu Brocade inner armor in my house, which I plan to keep as a legacy.
It’s a family treasure.”
Several people were polite in the hall. Miao Shufang knew that his boss was here to discuss matters with the head of the Du family, so he said: "I heard from Xiao Tao that there is a big garden in the manor, and there are strange flowers blooming all year round.
, the scenery is great, I wonder if we can take a tour?”
Du Tao jumped out and said, "I'll take you there. Now is the time when the garden is most beautiful."
As soon as the two people left, Chen Zining did not beat around the bush and said directly: "Uncle Du, please take a look at the samples. The low-grade Golden Silk Spirit Valley weighs 590 kilograms, and the medium-grade Amethyst Spirit Valley weighs 420 kilograms.
It’s all up to you, whether you buy it or share the final share.”
Du Xing pondered for a while and said: "If the spiritual grains are sold in small quantities and kept secret, there will be no big problem. If they are sold in large quantities, it will definitely attract the attention and investigation of the families who cultivate these two types of spiritual grains. In that case
, it will be difficult to keep secrets."
Chen Zining also knew that this was a one-time business. If he wanted to sell it in the future, it would definitely arouse the anger of many aristocratic families. He thought about it and said: "Guangtong Chamber of Commerce has dozens of branches in various cities in Qingyang County, which can be dispersed
We sell it in various cities at the same time, and by the time someone reacts, we will have stopped selling it. If it doesn't work, we can grind it into spiritual rice, which will make it easier to sell."
"Since Zi Ning said so, I took it. However, there is no fixed price for Linggu, and the price can be high or low through auctions, black markets and other channels. I will take the price of Golden Silk Linggu at three hundred pieces per pound.
Gold coins, Amethyst Spirit Valley is purchased from you for a thousand gold coins per pound, what do you think?"
"Okay! It's settled then. You will send someone to Shuiyue Residence to receive it at noon tomorrow."
Chen Zining was not surprised by such a high price. At first, he wanted to buy some spiritual rice through the black market for planting. He consulted several black market shops but failed. Finally, he used his unique cultivation skills to give birth to spiritual rice that was still alive.
He got some seedlings from this, and he believed that the Du family could make no less money than he did.
