Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 387 Peach Blossom Paradise Special Offer
Zhang Ruohai doesn't want to get married yet, but Xue Yan is different.

After all, they are well past the age of marriage.

Furthermore, she doesn't believe she will marry anyone else.

Whether you marry early or late, you have to get married eventually, so why not get married early?
That way, you don't have to be shameless and go around asking for free meals.

After the wedding, Han Lingxue's parents did not go back immediately. Instead, they took their relatives and friends on a tour of the surrounding area before taking a bus back.

Zhang Zelin, Yang Qingyi, and others planned to stay a few more days to see the children.

Now that the newly built villa is occupied, it is much more convenient.

"Brother-in-law, you have to reserve one of those villas for me," Zhang Ruohai said. "I can come and stay for a few days whenever I have time."

"No problem," Xu Yue said. "But, are you available?"

There are still quite a few villas there today.

The villas belonging to Li Zhuting, Guo Tianyou, and Liu Chengji had already been repaired.

Currently, one building has been built for Zhang Zelin, one for Zhang Ruoyu and his wife, and one each for Shen Yu, Tie Wei, Wang Haolin, Hu Hai, and Mu Xiaoyan.

There were still quite a few left, and Xu Yue didn't plan to buy any, so giving one to Zhang Ruohai wouldn't be a problem.

Xu Yue had no intention of selling those villas.

Although many people offered high prices to buy it.

The price was even higher than that of villas in the city, but Xu Yue wasn't tempted.

He is not short of money.

That villa wasn't originally purchased.

"It's not a problem to squeeze in," Zhang Ruohai said. "It's also convenient to come here during holidays."

Zhang Ruohai knew very well that nowadays, people basically go here for holidays and festivals.

They probably won't gather in Yanjing anymore.

My older sister married and moved here, my older brother also works here, and my maternal grandparents and paternal grandparents also live here and won't leave.

If we don't gather here, where else can we go?
Is there a high chance you'll be transferred to a different job?

Zhang Zelin looked at Zhang Ruoyu.

Zhang Zelin didn't know the specifics of Zhang Ruoyu's previous job, but he knew it was very dangerous.

However, being transferred to Taoyuan Village later was undoubtedly much safer and more stable.

Currently, Zhang Ruoyu is in charge of security at the Agricultural Science and Technology College.

"I don't know," Zhang Ruoyu said. "They probably won't be transferred for the time being."

Li Liang advanced to the third realm and became the director of the Shu Prefecture Special Administration Bureau, so naturally he did not stay in Taoyuan Village.

Zhang Ruoyu has now broken through to the third realm.

But he wasn't transferred. Although he was promoted, he was still in charge of security at the school.

Zhang Ruoyu was well aware that the main reason he was transferred from the front line to Taoyuan Village for training was his sister's relationship with Xu Yue.

The military wanted to use this relationship to obtain more cultivation resources.

Actually, even without this connection, Xu Yue wouldn't have been stingy.

He's become stronger, but it seems he's also stuck here.

It became a bridge maintaining the relationship between the military and Xu Yue.

His subordinates changed batch after batch, and new batches were added and replaced, but he remained unmoved.

However, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to enter the third realm so quickly.

We might even be able to look forward to the Four Realms.

If you enter the fourth realm, you'll definitely have at least one star on your shoulders, if not two.

The military has no shortage of people at the third level, so he won't break through to the third level and be transferred like Li Liang.

After all, the enemy the military faces is different from that of the Special Administration Bureau. They don't rely on cultivation level, but rather on the weapons they have.

Of course, having a higher cultivation level naturally brings advantages. The higher the cultivation level, the greater the advantage.

But that is ultimately limited.

We live in the age of firearms.

However, the military doesn't lack the third realm, but it lacks the fourth.

If he breaks through to the fourth realm, he will definitely be transferred, because there will be a place more suitable for him.

As for the four borders?

It's still a long way off.

He had only recently broken through to the third realm and was still in the early stage of the third realm.

Currently, the one most likely to break through the fourth realm first is Xu Yue's third uncle, Xu Jianghe.

It's probably Liu Chengji.

Then came Grandpa Xu Yue, Xu Chengyang.

Xu Chengyang lagged behind Xu Jianghe, mainly because he focused his energy on researching elixirs.

And what about Xu Jianghe?
However, he was able to concentrate on practicing martial arts.

Perhaps it won't be long before Xu Yue's family has another "Four Realms".

This sect possesses two or four realms, a feat unmatched by any major sect within the country, except for those within the nation.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ruoyu looked at his younger sister again.

If it weren't for the time delay caused by childbirth, my younger sister would probably have entered the third realm before me.

It should be soon.

A few days later, Zhang Zelin and the others left.

Xu Yue's life returned to peace.

"Your brother-in-law's wedding has sparked a lot of discussion online, and many wealthy people have inquired about holding their weddings in Taoyuan Village," Tian Yizhi said. "Have you ever considered starting a business in this area?"

"What are your thoughts?" Xu Yue asked. "My father-in-law mentioned it before, but I just felt that they might not want to hold their wedding banquet here, but rather they want the Peach Blossom Spring Wine."

"Whether we do this kind of business or not, that area needs to be expanded," Tian Yizhi said. "Besides the wealthy, quite a few other people come here to hold their weddings."

The farmhouses have always catered wedding banquets, but they usually use ordinary ingredients.

Those people were more interested in the environment there.

"You handle it," Xu Yue said. "As for catering to those high-profile weddings, don't Yuelai Hotel and Shuxiang Pavilion have any ideas?"

“They have ideas,” Tian Yizhi said. “They even specifically asked Huang Liang about the inventory of Peach Blossom Immortal Wine. Huang Liang also specifically asked me if we should try to create something unique.”

What makes it unique?
The only thing we need to do is to hold a banquet with Peach Blossom Immortal Wine, so we have to come to Peach Blossom Village.

This will not only stimulate the business of homestays and farmhouses there, but also boost the business of the scenic area.

Should we do that?

Xu Yue was genuinely tempted.

While he was still struggling with his decision, Wang Zemin came knocking on his door.

That's what I'm after.

He knew very well that if he could attract wealthy people, it wouldn't just boost consumption, but it might also attract some investment.

Even if it doesn't attract any investment, boosting consumption is still a great thing.

How could a tycoon be without wealthy relatives and friends?

This is simply making full use of Gongan City's advantages.

What are the advantages of Gong'an City?
That naturally refers to the exquisite cuisine of Taoyuan Farm, as well as its freshly brewed wines.

As for the Yunwu Mountain scenic area, as well as the fishing grounds, flower fields, and homestays in Taoyuan Village, these cannot be considered advantages.

Because it lacks uniqueness.

There are other places that are more beautiful and famous than this.

Today, Taoyuan Village has become the most famous place in Gong'an City.

"Let me discuss it with Lao Tian and the others again."

Xu Yue did not refuse. He was already struggling with the decision, and now that Wang Zemin had spoken up, the scales had simply tipped a little.

It would be good to set one up.

Putting everything else aside, after Taoyuan Village became famous, the villagers' incomes all increased.

The income of bamboo craftsmen, such as Yao Gong, was among them.

Xu Yue initially planned to sell bamboo woven items online, but later he didn't have the energy.

However, the guesthouse has a shop nearby, and it's also listed for sale online.

Initially, sales were lukewarm, but now there's a shortage of supply.

Tian Yizhi also specially organized bamboo weavers from various villages under his jurisdiction, and now it has become a considerable operation. The styles are diverse and increasingly exquisite.

Of course, the key lies in the amazing quality of the bamboo, which gives people a feeling of being close to nature and also emits a faint fragrance.

This is why bamboo woven products from Taoyuan Village are so popular.

Even though it is much more expensive than ordinary bamboo crafts.

The wealthy people who came last time basically all made purchases.

“This will benefit Taoyuan Village, Yunwu Mountain Scenic Area, and even Gong’an City,” Tian Yizhi said. “It will also benefit the sales of Taoyuan Immortal Wine.”

Xu Yue looked at Tian Yizhi thoughtfully.

“The production of Taoyuan Immortal Wine has increased, resulting in a significant backlog of inventory,” Tian Yizhi said. “If we handle it through banquets, it won’t have much impact on the market.”

Although the production of Taoyuan Immortal Wine has increased and more of it has been put on the market, it has not been completely liberalized.

It still has a hint of scarcity marketing.

As the farm expands and the amount of brewing crops increases, the production of Taoyuan Xianniang (Peach Blossom Immortal Wine) is also gradually increasing.

However, if too many are released into the market, it will definitely affect the price.

However, if it is consumed in the form of a banquet, then it will not have any impact.

Are there that many banquets?
Don't underestimate the spending power of wealthy people.

Zhang Ruoyu's wedding consumed nearly three hundred bottles.

After the banquet, the guests bought over a hundred more bottles, directly consuming a portion of the previous inventory.

Correct!
The guests bought more than a hundred bottles.

They usually come in boxes of six bottles, and the price is 500,000.

It's cheaper than the Yue Lai Hotel and Shu Xiang Ge.

If the quantity hadn't been controlled, even more would probably have been sold.

Half a million?
Five million is just a drop in the ocean for those people.

"In addition, the winery and beverage factory will have products coming out next year," Tian Yizhi said. "Those can also be sold at high-end banquets."

"Ok!"

Xu Yue nodded.

Whether it's a beverage factory or a winery, production won't be too high in the short term.

I estimate they'll be going through Shuxiangge and Yuelai Hotel.

The Taoyuan series products are basically positioned as high-end items.

As for whether the quality will be lowered in the future, that's a matter for the future.

It's definitely not necessary in the short term.

The domestic high-end market is not yet satisfied, let alone the vast international market.

As for becoming ordinary?
That depends on when the college's graduates are spread all over the country.

"The sales of Taoyuan mineral water are phenomenal. Should we increase production?"

Tian Yizhi said with a smile.

The mineral water plant is incredibly profitable.

It's just that production has always been limited.

It hasn't been released to the market yet, but it's selling very well at Shuxiangge and Yuelai Hotel.

Unfortunately, the only cheaper product in the Taoyuan series is the mineral water.

However, compared to other mineral waters, it is somewhat expensive.

The factory price was ten yuan. After visiting the farmers' market, I gave a cup to Shuxiangge and Yuelai Hotel.

And the selling price there is basically never below fifty.

Moreover, the price is only that for bulk purchases; if you order it at a restaurant, it will be even higher.

However, bottled mineral water in five-star hotels is usually not less than ten yuan, and sometimes even several tens of yuan.

Taoyuan mineral water sells for tens or hundreds of yuan, so it is naturally very popular.

"Supply falls short of demand?"

Xu Yue asked.

The current production volume is actually not low, and the mineral water is not sold on the market. It is still targeted at high-end restaurants, so why is the supply still insufficient?
"Yes!" Tian Yizhi nodded and said, "Old Huang has contacted me a few times; I heard he has connections with quite a few large supermarket chains."

"Oh?"

Xu Yue was a little surprised.

Are large supermarket chains planning to stock Taoyuan mineral water?
This was somewhat unexpected.

And it seems there's more than one.

Many brands want to enter large supermarkets, especially chain supermarkets, which is extremely difficult. Unexpectedly, the other party took the initiative to come to them.

"Expand!"

Xu Yue thought about it for a moment and then nodded.

Taoyuan mineral water isn't that complicated; to put it simply, it's just spiritual rainwater.

Just add a few more Spirit Rain Arrays and it will be fine.

Of course, the spirit-gathering arrays around the mineral water plant also need to be expanded, otherwise it will be difficult to support the spiritual energy required by the spirit rain array.

The Spirit Rain Formation included not only Guo Tianyou and Liu Chengji.

The spirit-gathering array isn't a big problem either; it just requires a bit more effort.

The Spirit Transformation Array is still a bit difficult for the two of them, and Xu Yue needs to do it personally.

However, the mineral water plant is located in Xingdong Town, so it won't take much time at all.

Expanding a mineral water plant isn't something that can be done immediately by simply stopping the rainstorm; it also requires building water tanks and so on.

This also takes time.

As for the land issue, that's not a problem.

When the mineral water plant was first built, Tian Yizhi had planned it to be large-scale.

He knew very well that if this mineral water took a people-friendly approach, it could bankrupt other mineral water brands; even if it took a high-end approach, it would definitely sell well.

This mineral water factory is no small thing.

In any case, the government offered huge incentives for land leasing.

"I heard your mineral water factory has expanded?"

Jing Guohua came, mainly for the protective jade amulet.

However, to Xu Yue's surprise, he actually mentioned the mineral water factory.

"Hmm!" Xu Yue said with a smile, "The leaders are paying attention to this?"

“The higher-ups intended to have Taoyuan mineral water supplied as a special commodity, but they gave up before because the scale was too small,” Jing Guohua said. “Now that you’ve expanded the scale, they should bring it up again.”

"Special supply?" Xu Yue was a little surprised and said, "That Taoyuan mineral water is no different from the water used to water vegetables in the village, you all know that."

“I know about the Spirit Rain Water,” Jing Guohua said. “But it’s true that this water is good for your health, isn’t it?”

It's not that water is good for the body, but rather that the spiritual energy within the water is beneficial.

“Then let’s supply it!” Xu Yue said. “Just make a token price.”

Special supply?

Having these two words will instantly boost a brand's image.

There are actually quite a few special items available in Taoyuan Village.

Rice, vegetables, fruits, and various meats are available, and of course, Taoyuan Immortal Wine is also a special supply.

This is also one of the reasons why things from Taoyuan Village are so sought after.

"What if I asked you to set up the Spirit Rain Array in Yanjing?" Jing Guohua said. "Of course, we can do the math. That way, we can reduce the costs of transportation and other expenses."

Conversion?

Naturally, setting up the Spirit Rain Array costs money.

As for how to give it, that's something we can discuss.

“The Spirit Rain Array needs water vapor and spiritual energy to support it,” Xu Yue said. “Even if it is set up, the amount will probably not be very large. You know the environment in Yanjing. If we set up a Spirit Transformation Array or a Spirit Gathering Array to increase the spiritual energy, I really don’t know if other unexpected things might happen.”

"misfortune?"

Jing Guohua looked at Xu Yue with some confusion.

“Yanjing is the capital city, and there is a dragon vein underground,” Xu Yue said. “I really don’t know how to transform the dragon vein’s energy into spiritual energy. I really don’t know if it will cause any chain reaction.”
