Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm
Chapter 385 Will you throw away your dignity for the sake of wine?
Chapter 385 Will you throw away your dignity for the sake of wine?
The main reason Wang Yun's parents were able to stay in Taoyuan Village was that they had retired.
Or rather, being idle at home.
Zhang Ruoxi's parents, however, are different.
Previously, Yang Qingyi was doing better and generally had no problems.
But things are different now.
She opened a beauty salon, which now has branches in major cities and is favored by celebrities, socialites, and wealthy women. Business is booming, and she has naturally become very busy.
She also developed several beauty products with amazing effects and high prices, but they were not available for sale.
Zhang Ruoxi actually knew why Wang Yun asked.
Wang Yun's parents felt somewhat awkward about staying at their son-in-law's house.
The key point is that their food, clothing, and daily necessities seem to be provided by Xu Jianghe's nephew.
Xu Yue and his group returned quickly.
The villa instantly became lively.
Fortunately, Xu Yue's villa is big enough; otherwise, it would have been a bit crowded with so many people.
"Sister Ruoxi, where's Dahuang?"
Xue Yan patted Xiao Bao's head, then asked about Zhang Ruoxi.
Xiao Bao is already quite large, much bigger than the average giant panda, after all, he doesn't eat ordinary bamboo.
However, perhaps due to increased contact with humans, the three pandas have become increasingly docile.
"They probably went to the camp."
Zhang Ruoxi wasn't entirely sure either.
However, Xu Yue mentioned last time that Da Huang often accompanied Xu Jianghe to the camp with Xiao Hua and Xiao Hei.
She still rarely sees Dahuang these days.
Even though she would occasionally visit Xu Jianghe's house.
"Oh!"
Xue Yan nodded, her tone seemingly tinged with regret.
She really likes Dahuang.
However, she still subconsciously looked at Xu Jianghe.
Does she know that Da Huang is now with Xu Jianghe?
“I’ve been going to the camp every day lately,” Xu Jianghe said. “I reckon I won’t be back until tonight.”
When Xu Jianghe mentioned rhubarb, the corner of his mouth seemed to twitch involuntarily.
Xu Jianghe naturally knew why it went to the camp.
Training, training with the people inside.
Sometimes they would even stand up and mimic the movements of martial arts practitioners.
It seems to want to practice martial arts, but the difference between humans and dogs makes it look comical.
This meal was very lavish.
After the meal, Xu Yue took the person to the guesthouse.
It's impossible to arrange for all other relatives and friends to stay at the guesthouse, but Zhang Ruoxi's aunt and cousins can stay without any problems.
Yang Qingyi didn't go over immediately, but stayed to play with the child.
Besides, their whole family doesn't stay at the guesthouse.
The villa is ready for occupancy.
Yang Qingyi is very well-maintained and looks much younger than her actual age. When she is holding a child, strangers might mistake her for the child's mother rather than the grandmother.
Li Xiurong looks much younger than before, at least her skin is much better, but she looks much older than Yang Qingyi.
Of course, in reality, Li Xiurong is also slightly older.
However, the gap between the two is narrowing.
They used to look like mother and daughter, but now they look more like sisters.
Li Xiurong now spends all her free time getting beauty treatments and maintenance done by Zhang Ruoxi.
"If you need anything, you can contact me directly."
Xu Yue said to Zhang Ruoyu.
"Of course I won't stand on ceremony with you."
Zhang Ruoxi smiled and nodded; she naturally understood what Xu Yue meant.
Here, Xu Yue has it much easier than him in getting things done.
Zhang Ruoyu and Han Lingxue's wedding took place as scheduled.
The day before, Zhang Zelin brought his relatives and friends from that side.
Most of them stayed at the Yue Lai Hotel in the city.
"Old Cheng, you said Old Zhang's eldest son was getting married, why are you here?"
Someone asked about Cheng Yueting.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Cheng Yueting is a well-known and wealthy man in China. Anyone who can chat with him must be quite wealthy.
Zhang Zelin was quite famous in Beijing's business circles, and that goes without saying now.
And among them, Cheng Yueting grew closer and closer to him.
"Why can't it be here?" Cheng Yueting said with a smile. "His son and daughter-in-law both work here."
"I thought it would be in Beijing, or abroad."
The man shook his head and said.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Cheng Yueting could easily guess.
It's simply that they felt it didn't match Zhang Zelin's status and was somewhat beneath them.
Gong'an City is, after all, just a third- or fourth-tier city. The key point is that the wedding was held in a rural farmhouse, not a five-star hotel.
"The wedding will be held in Peach Blossom Village," Cheng Yueting said. "Don't tell me you haven't heard of it?"
"Taoyuan Village?" The man pondered for a moment, then looked surprised and said, "The Taoyuan Village in Taoyuan Rural Area?"
“Otherwise!” Cheng Yueting said, “Xu Yue, the owner of Taoyuan Farm, is Old Zhang’s son-in-law.”
The man didn't say anything more.
He naturally knew that the owner of Taoyuan Farm was Zhang Zelin's son-in-law.
This is an open secret in Beijing's business circles.
He originally wanted to get a bottle of Peach Blossom Immortal Wine, so he went to Zhang Zelin.
"Do you think the wedding banquet will feature only the finest cuisine?" the man continued. "And will the wedding wine be some kind of celestial brew from Peach Blossom Spring?"
"The possibility of enjoying top-quality cuisine is very high, but whether we will be able to drink the Peach Blossom Immortal Wine is hard to say."
Cheng Yueting remained silent for a moment before speaking.
It should be fine to serve top-quality cuisine.
After all, the farm doesn't really need another wedding banquet.
But Peach Blossom Immortal Wine is different.
Because the output is really low.
"Whether we can actually drink it or not is secondary," the man said with a smile. "The key is whether we can take the opportunity to buy a few bottles to take home."
“Ask Lao Zhang later,” Cheng Yueting said. “There are quite a few people who think like you.”
They were all well-off, so they didn't mind spending money on alcohol.
"Want to buy Peach Blossom Immortal Wine?"
Xu Yue looked at Zhang Zelin with some surprise.
Is Taoyuan Immortal Wine still hard to buy?
Hasn't production increased significantly now?
After all, the rice produced around Peach Blossom Village and in the desert is astonishing.
In addition, the farm also grows crops such as sorghum for brewing.
"Is there any?"
Zhang Zelin spoke first.
"There should still be a considerable amount in stock. How much do you need?"
Xu Yue nodded and asked.
For Zhang Ruoyu's wedding banquet, the liquor used was Taoyuan Xianniang.
Of course, the main reason is that there weren't many guests.
The Zhang family is not short of money.
Businessmen need to save face.
Once you've earned enough face, you'll naturally have no shortage of profit.
"I really don't know," Zhang Zelin said. "It depends on whether you have purchase restrictions. If you don't, they can probably clear out your inventory."
Zhang Zelin invited quite a few wealthy people this time.
Those people spend tens or hundreds of millions to buy an antique, or donate to charity, without batting an eye.
Faced with such a fine wine as Taoyuan Xianniang, which is also beneficial to health, how could they be reluctant to spend money?
Otherwise, how could the exorbitant prices of wine outside be driven up?
Don't underestimate the spending power of wealthy people.
If it were merely a matter of satisfying their appetites, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths.
Those who become extremely wealthy possess a level of self-control that is unmatched by ordinary people. Yet, no wealthy person can resist the changes in their body.
The Peach Blossom Immortal Wine not only satisfies the appetite but also benefits health, which is why it is sought after by the wealthy.
It's okay domestically, but overseas the price is more than ten times higher; you can't buy a bottle without spending a million.
"I'll tell Huang Liang, and we'll just go directly to him," Xu Yue said. "He knows better than I how much stock we have and how much we need to keep. But two bottles each shouldn't be a problem."
"it is good!"
Zhang Zelin nodded.
Once this deal is done, there will naturally be many benefits for their family.
To put it bluntly, he would owe Zhang Zelin a favor.
As for the price, Zhang Zelin didn't ask, nor was there any need to.
Those people don't lack that little bit of money.
Besides, the selling price will never be higher than the price outside.
Zhang Ruoyu's wedding was not grand, and the number of guests was not as many as Xu Yue's, which had thousands of tables.
Unlike Xu Yue's wedding banquet, this one wasn't open to tourists.
Most of them were relatives, friends, and colleagues of both sides.
There were only a few dozen tables in total.
However, several celebrities from the rich list attended.
This surprised Han Lingxue's relatives and friends.
"Wasn't it said that the man was in the military?"
"Didn't you see anyone wearing military uniform over there?"
"The man is a soldier, but his family is very wealthy; I heard they own several listed companies."
"They must be incredibly wealthy, otherwise why would those celebrities on the rich list be invited to this wedding?"
"Ling Xue found a good husband. I've met him; none of those celebrities are as handsome as him."
Birds of a feather flock together, and this is evident at wedding banquets.
The celebrities on the rich list were also seated at one table.
"I heard you can buy two bottles of Peach Blossom Immortal Wine to take home?"
"fake."
"Yes, it's fake."
"We're already lucky to have any food and drink today, and you still want to eat and take some home?"
"Exactly, you gave me two hundred yuan as a gift, and I ate top-quality food and drank the finest wine, and you're still not satisfied."
"Old Ma, you're so busy, go home after you eat."
Upon hearing this, Old Ma immediately curled his lip, thinking, "They really think I'm a fool?"
If I leave, you can buy two more bottles?
“Since we’re here, we should naturally take a look around,” Old Ma said. “We’ll go to Huashan later, and tomorrow we’ll go to the Taoist temple in the mountains to offer incense. I heard there’s a White Bird Forest outside the temple, which is worth a visit.”
“Old Ma is a smart man too,” Cheng Yueting said with a smile. “You’re still too green to fool him.”
"Old Cheng, just let us have it this time. You and Old Zhang are neighbors, and I heard you go over for a free meal and drinks every now and then. You're short two bottles of wine? I heard Old Zhang's wine is even better than Peach Blossom Immortal Wine?"
“Old Lei is right,” Old Ma said. “We should indeed take care of those of us who are not in Yanjing.”
Other wealthy people who weren't in Yanjing echoed this sentiment.
"You're really kicking me while I'm at it," Cheng Yueting said with a smile. "I was the one who got Lao Zhang to help me make this happen."
Everyone laughed upon hearing this.
"Is it really only two bottles per person?"
Lao Lei asked about Cheng Yueting.
In fact, they had more business dealings with Zhang Zelin.
And what about Cheng Yueting?
He was in the clothing business and had no business dealings with Zhang Zelin at all, but what could he do when they were neighbors?
Being in a good position gives you an advantage.
“Old Zhang’s son-in-law promised at least two bottles per person,” Cheng Yueting said. “Old Zhang said his son-in-law doesn’t know how much stock is currently in stock. We’ll probably have to wait until Old Zhang talks to Mr. Huang from Taoyuan Agricultural Trade Center to find out.”
"You might only be able to get two bottles, but I'll get at least four. There's no other reason; I brought my wife."
Someone spoke up with a smile.
"If it can be calculated like this, then wouldn't my reporting assistant be considered a person?"
"My family has twelve members, so buying twenty-four bottles is reasonable, right?"
"Do you have that many people in your family?"
"Don't grandchildren count?"
"Your grandson isn't even a year old yet, can he drink alcohol?"
"You've lost all sense of shame for the sake of alcohol!"
Amidst laughter and conversation, the wedding ceremony quickly came to an end, and then the banquet began.
"By the way, is this wine served one bottle per table, or can we have as much as we want?"
There was a bottle of Peach Blossom Immortal Wine on the table, but with eight people at the table, it would only be a little over one car per person.
These seasoned businessmen naturally have a high alcohol tolerance.
Two ounces is probably just enough to moisten the throat.
One bottle isn't nearly enough to drink.
One bottle per person would probably be barely enough.
"Drink as much as you want? You're dreaming!"
“Indeed, it’s difficult for us to buy a bottle of wine, and you want to provide it wirelessly? There are dozens of tables here.”
"You can find out if you just ask."
"How dare you ask?"
"Ask the waiter, not the host!"
Who limits the amount of drinks at a wedding banquet?
However, this is no ordinary wine; it is a rare and highly sought-after beverage from Peach Blossom Paradise.
There's no need for unlimited drinks, but it could be other types of drinks.
Other drinks, naturally, wouldn't catch their eye.
Even if they are all famous wines.
"Do you want more? How many more do you need?"
When the waiter heard them ask, he immediately asked how much they wanted, which left everyone at the table completely bewildered.
How much do you want?
This is unlimited.
And you know what? This actually stumped them.
Given their drinking capacity, if they drank freely, they could easily drink at least one bottle each, if not two.
But wouldn't that be too unseemly?
They all have a sense of shame.
He was just saying he'd throw away all pride for the sake of alcohol; that was just talk.
But the allure of that Peach Blossom Spring Wine was too great.
They had all drunk it, but none of them had ever truly enjoyed it.
The group exchanged glances, their gazes finally settling on Cheng Yueting.
He and Zhang Zelin were the only ones at this table who were close to each other.
"Give me one bottle first, and I'll get more if I need more."
Cheng Yueting spoke.
The cup in front of us should be able to hold two ounces. With eight people at the table, that's one pound and six ounces.
Anyway, the cup in front of you should be filled, right?
As for what happens later, once you're really into it, nobody cares about anything else.
Once the wedding banquet started, people couldn't stop eating.
too delicious!
Some people eat alone, ignoring everything else.
They were much more refined than Cheng Yueting's table.
Of course, the same was true for Shen Yu and his group; they were even more refined when drinking.
Shen Yu and his group of five, plus Lu Zhenyu, Xiong Yan, and Xiong Yong.
Xie Qingqing, Xu Jianglin, and others were at another table.
"This wedding was truly extravagant."
Xiong Yong was somewhat moved.
The ingredients were sponsored by Xu Yue, just like when he and his sister got married.
However, the drinks weren't sponsored; they were purchased by someone else.
On average, there are at least two bottles per table, which adds up to over a hundred.
If we're talking about the selling price, that would be tens of millions.
Of course, it won't be sold at the original price, but it will definitely be a large sum of money.
At least Xiong Yong dared not even think about it.
"Actually, compared to the weddings of the super-rich, this is quite low-key," Shen Yu said with a smile. "If there were no limit on the amount of money given as a gift, it would probably be an astonishing figure."
No one else would disagree with this point; just look at that table over there, none of them have a net worth of less than 10 billion.
Can they give less in gifts?
