Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
The Sun Family hadn't lied; their wine shop was located on the most prosperous street of the Loose Cultivators' Market, where foot traffic was high, and both sides were lined with various pill shops and talisman shops.
There was even the only Lingshan Restaurant in the entire Loose Cultivators' Market.
It was said that even Jin Dan Wang Zhenren, the manager of Dongqing City, occasionally came here for a meal.
For this reason, this street became the most prosperous and liveliest street in the entire Loose Cultivators' Market, with people coming and going every day and customer traffic bursting at the seams.
Xu Zhangqing was also quite surprised.
Just a wine shop, yet the Sun Family actually attached such importance to it.
The shop hadn't opened yet, and there was no signboard, only a layer of red cloth hanging.
After looking at it a few times, Xu Zhangqing stood up and walked toward the teahouse directly opposite.
He had agreed with Sun Peng to meet at this teahouse called Chunxiang Teahouse.
Just as he crossed the threshold, a male waiter immediately stepped forward: "Sir, are you drinking tea alone, or have you made an appointment with a friend?"
Xu Zhangqing glanced at the position by the staircase entrance, then said: "I have an appointment with someone, on the top floor."
The waiter suddenly understood: "You must be the esteemed guest Immortal Master Sun is waiting for, right?"
"Mm." Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly.
The smile on the waiter's face became even more brilliant; bending over while leading the way: "Please follow me. Immortal Master Sun instructed that he must personally take you to the top floor."
Afterward, Xu Zhangqing followed behind him, soon arriving at the staircase entrance, stepping up the stairs one by one.
The entire teahouse had three floors.
Most of the first floor were ordinary people who had some connection to cultivators.
Of course, this "ordinary" was not truly ordinary people.
But rather wealthy merchants, rich people, the kind with some background.
The tea they drank was the relatively ordinary Spiritual Resonance Tea.
Tea leaves made by stir-frying low-rank spirit plants Qingxin Grass with ordinary tea.
Having a relatively weak mind-calming effect.
Can slightly relieve fatigue.
More refreshing than ordinary tea.
Long-term drinking can also slightly improve one's constitution.
As for the second floor, most were true cultivators.
Although most people inside were loose cultivators, they were already distinguished from the "ordinary people" on the first floor.
The tea they drank was called Bloodvine Tea.
A kind of bloodvine that grew after being stained with demon beast blood.
Whatever effects Spiritual Resonance Tea had, Bloodvine Tea had them too.
The taste carried a hint of bloody smell, able to briefly increase qi blood activity.
As for the third floor, only cultivators famous throughout Dongqing City, members of cultivation clans, or disciples of immortal sects were allowed to ascend.
The tea they drank had a very pleasant name, called Youlan Mist Tea.
Made by stir-frying a rare spirit plant called Youlan Fragrant Grass.
When brewed, a faint mist would swirl around, with excellent visual effect.
Not only possessing the same effects as Spiritual Resonance Tea and Bloodvine Tea.
It was said that long-term drinking could also increase spiritual power.
But the price was also expensive; one pot of tea cost one middle-grade spirit stone.
Under the waiter's guidance, Xu Zhangqing ascended to the third floor.
Here, four private rooms were divided according to Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding.
Each private room had a window, through which one could see the blue sky and white clouds outside; the scenery was very good.
The waiter stood in front of the Yi Room, grinning: "Immortal Master, Immortal Master Sun is inside!"
Xu Zhangqing said expressionlessly: "Thank you for your trouble."
Hearing this, the waiter hurriedly waved his hands excitedly: "No trouble, no trouble. Being able to lead the way for an Immortal Master is my great honor."
Afterward, he gently knocked a few times on the door of the private room.
Knock~
Knock knock~
There was a particular way to knock.
Once meant urgent.
Three times meant respect.
Nine times meant reverence.
After knocking, the waiter softly said inside: "Immortal Master Sun, your esteemed guest has arrived."
Almost instantly, the tightly closed room door opened with a "creak."
There was only one person inside: Sun Peng, whom he hadn't seen for a month.
Seeing Xu Zhangqing in disguise, his eyes lit up, and he was extremely excited.
Xu Zhangqing narrowed his eyes, sizing the other party up and down, and teased, "Haven't seen you in a month, but you seem to have put on weight."
Sun Peng laughed heartily: "Haha... I have to thank Dao Friend Cai for that!"
Back then, without the top-grade Spirit Rice from the Second-grade Spirit Field Produce, he could never have brought Lei Yunna home.
Because the Sun Family had made the acquaintance of "Xu Zhangqing" and could obtain stable top-grade Spirit Rice every month, the Lei Family thought the Sun Family was worth cooperating with, which is why the marriage proposal and wedding went smoothly.
Eating a lot, and happy.
How could he not put on weight.
Xu Zhangqing smiled too, then stepped into the Yi Room.
Sun Peng shouted at the shop attendant: "Attendant, bring me the tea leaves of the best 【Youlan Mist Tea】!"
"Alright, Immortal Master Sun, please wait a moment!" The shop attendant, hearing this, nodded vigorously and hurriedly, then turned and ran downstairs.
After he left, Sun Peng closed the door of the room, then turned to look.
He discovered Xu Zhangqing hadn't sat down, but was standing by the window, looking at the wine shop directly below.
Sun Peng stepped forward while chuckling: "Dao Friend Cai, this shop was pried away from my father-in-law; are you satisfied?"
Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly: "The location is good, and the position is good too!"
Sun Peng came to his side, and the two stood shoulder to shoulder, then said: "Everything is ready; we're just waiting for your Spirit Rice Wine, and the name of the wine shop."
Xu Zhangqing thoughtfully: "The name."
Sun Peng said seriously: "Although we are in a cooperative relationship, and we're the ones putting up the money and effort, after all, what's being sold is your Spirit Rice Wine, so the naming must be done by you personally."
Xu Zhangqing thought for a moment, then said: "Just call it Changqing Wine House."
Sun Peng made an "oh" sound and asked curiously: "What's the meaning behind the name?"
Xu Zhangqing replied: "I hope this wine shop can stay open forever."
Sun Peng nodded vigorously: "Alright, I'll arrange it immediately. Do you have any requirements for the font, brushwork, and such?"
Xu Zhangqing waved his hand: "That doesn't matter; you handle it yourselves."
Hearing this, Sun Peng without hesitation took out his Communication Talisman.
Notify who?
His father Sun Rong!
Tell him this good news first, then have the other side find someone to do it, after all, the older the ginger, the spicier it is.
At this moment, a "knock knock knock" came from outside the door.
Sun Peng put away his Communication Talisman, then stepped forward and opened the door.
Outside the door stood several people.
Not just the shop attendant from before.
These people were all holding things, and at a glance they were all for brewing tea.
Such as spirit charcoal stoves, celadon teapots, bamboo and wooden tea tools, and pine-patterned cups.
Soon they had placed everything used for brewing tea on the table.
Especially the shop attendant who had led the way earlier, who was even holding an exquisite green wooden box.
Before it was even opened, a faint, enticing fragrance spread out.
Once opened, a refreshing aroma surged out.
Sun Peng stepped forward to examine it carefully.
The tea leaves were ink-colored, slightly dry, and curled like green snails.
"Immortal Master Sun, these are the 【Youlan Mist Tea】 leaves you requested!"
"Not bad, indeed acceptable!"
"Then... shall this humble one serve you?"
"No, I will personally brew it for Dao Friend Cai!!!"
