Chapter 225: Collaboration with the Divine Workshop
I have some things to discuss with the elder, and I may bother you when the time comes.
How about we wait until everything is finalized before starting the lecture? Qin Feng said.
As long as Master Qin is willing to give a lecture for us, just let us know if you have any needs. someone replied.
Thats right. In the future, if Master Qin needs our help, we wont ask for any payment.
Hmm? The others threw warning glances, clearly saying, Kid, you can eat a meal messily, but you cant talk nonsense.
The person who spoke immediately changed their tune, We can accept less compensation.
Hmm. Everyone nodded, looking harmless.
Bah, you bunch of flatterers, enjoying my knowledge for free. When I ask for your help, you dare to ask me for money? Qin Feng chuckled, half-smiling and half-serious, Well, thank you all then.
On the side, Black Charcoal Head was greatly surprised. He had heard about the reputation of the Divine Workshop before.
But it was the first time he saw these guys showing such respect to someone, even addressing him as Master.
Young Master, you are really amazing. he sincerely admired.
After bidding farewell to the group of flatterers, Qin Feng and the others, led by Huo Yuan, went to the third floor of the attic.
The old elder was standing in front of a large furnace, stuffing materials into it, presumably forging something.
Elder. Qin Feng greeted and, after a few pleasantries, stated the purpose of their visit.
Before the elder could respond, Huo Yuan exclaimed in surprise, A wine workshop? Weve tried that before, but its time-consuming and doesnt make much money.
Qin Feng shook his head, Ordinary alcoholic beverages have limited profits, but I have a new brewing technique here. It can significantly increase the alcohol content of the liquor, making it more mellow and unforgettable.
Can it compete with the Drunken Dreams from the Star Seizing Tower? Huo Yuan asked curiously.
I havent tasted Drunken Dreams, but the liquor I want you to brew should surpass it.
The distillation method of the liquor was revolutionary, and there probably wasnt a brewing technique in the present world that could compare to it.
This Huo Yuan opened his mouth. Though he didnt say it explicitly, his expression clearly showed disbelief.
But at this moment, the elder spoke, Is the liquor you want us to brew the same as the one you gave me last time?
Yes, I named it Drunken Immortal. I will teach you the new brewing technique, and you can help me with the brewing. Thirty percent of the profit from each barrel of liquor can be given to the Divine Workshop.
Huo Yuan pondered. The profits from the wine workshop were already limited. If it was only thirty percent, it seemed like a thankless deal.
But with the time spent on brewing, helping important figures, or forging tools for others, the amount of money earned was unknown.
Old Master, he probably wont agree.
Upon hearing this, the old master fell into contemplation. After a long time, he spoke, The Drunken Dream of Star Seizing Tower is the tribute wine of the royal familys, with less than a hundred barrels circulating in the world each year. Each barrel can be sold for a sky-high price.
Ive tasted your Drunken Immortal, and its quality surpasses that of The Drunken Dream.'
Huo Yuan showed a look of shock. He had never drunk it before, but the wine was so famous in the imperial capital that it was hard to live up to its reputation.
For him, it was the best wine in the world.
However, the old master said there was a better wine than Drunken Dreams ?
The old master had drunk countless fine wines, and Drunken Dreams was one of them.
Naturally, Huo Yuan believed in the words of the old man, hence his increased astonishment.
Because such a fine wine would undoubtedly bring astronomical profits!
Drunken Immortal is a creature that spits out gold. If its brewing process is spread in Heavenly City, profits will only roll in. Are you really willing to teach us its brewing technique? The old master raised his head and looked at Qin Feng.
Since the junior has come seeking the old masters help, naturally, it is with sincerity. Qin Feng replied with a smile.
Good, I agree. The old master did not hesitate much and immediately agreed.
The Divine Workshop was known to lack funds, and a deal that was a guaranteed profit was something he had no reason to refuse.
Then the two finalized many details, such as the price of the wine, the quantity circulated to the public each month, and the fixed ratio of different purities of Drunken Immortal.
During this, Qin Feng repeatedly emphasized the need to control the brewing speed of Drunken Immortal.
His concerns were not baseless. If this group of Scroll Kings mastered the new brewing technique and became addicted, brewing Drunken Immortal day and night without rest, then the wine would flood the market, and the price would inevitably plummet.
Having lived for two lifetimes, he knows better than anyone else the principle that rare things are valuable.
The old master naturally knew the temperaments of his little disciples. He nodded in agreement and said, The matters here are basically settled. In two days, we will return to Imperial City. However, every month at a fixed time, I will send someone to bring the brewed wine and the profits obtained to you. Any problems with that?
No wonder these Scroll Kings were packing up; it turns out they were leaving.
Of course, no problem, Qin Feng replied without hesitation. The premise of cooperation was mutual trust, and he trusted the old masters character.
Then he added, Since thats the case, I will explain the brewing technique when I give lectures later.
Good. The old master said no more.
Huo Yuan suddenly spoke from the side, In addition to the brewing technique, dont forget to explain some knowledge about physics books.
Qin Feng had just agreed when suddenly his brows furrowed.
Oops, he had drunk too much tea in the morning, and now he couldnt hold it.
He awkwardly said, Ill go take care of something first, and Ill be back in a moment.
Leaving these words, he hastily departed.
Seeing this, Huo Yuan exchanged a glance with the elder, and the latter nodded slightly.
Then, Black Charcoal Head saw the burly man who had brought them up, hastily running down the stairs.
Not long after, the stairs echoed with the sound of many footsteps.
Master Qin, just thinking about parting with you soon makes my heart feel indescribably uncomfortable.
Yeah, Master Qin, when you have time, you must come to the Divine Workshop in Imperial City to catch up. Well treat you to good wine and food.
Whenever I have the chance, for sure, next time for sure. Qin Feng looked at the sincere expressions of these people, finding it hard to associate them with the way they were blocking outside the bathroom earlier.
On the third-floor attic, with a burst of steam rising, something appeared in the center of the hall.
If Qin Feng were here, he would surely widen his eyes because these were the tools used to distill alcohol!
The elder stroked his chin and couldnt help but sigh, Hes really an extraordinary kid.
As he spoke, he waved his right hand, and the distillation tools instantly disappeared.
Then he bent down, picked up a blank scroll covered with writing on the ground, recording the content of Qin Fengs class today.
Amidst the reluctant farewells of the crowd, Qin Feng finally left the Demon Slaying Department.
Xing Sheng asked, Young Master, its getting late. Are we going directly back to the Qin Mansion?
Qin Feng initially wanted to nod in agreement but then thought of the strange dreams for two consecutive days, feeling an inexplicable unease and restlessness.
No, lets go to Listen To Rain Pavilion first.
He wanted to talk to the old man about the dream, otherwise he would always be worried.
