Chapter 119 Weaving

By the end of the year, the demand for seeds from the Xianshan area had increased significantly, with farmers from other countries also wanting to place orders.

After all, the advantages of the seeds from the Immortal Mountain region have been evident throughout the year. The seeds survived drought and floods intact, and the quality of the vegetables and rice that grew was excellent. Netizens are praising the Immortal Mountain region to the skies, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Xia Kingdom is also proudly promoting the Immortal Mountain region to other countries.

The researchers at the Xia Guo Academy of Agricultural Sciences were so busy that Li Chang'an was supplying more seeds.

At the end of the year, Meijiuhua Winery also launched its first batch of wines, which included grape wines and various fruit wines.

The reason it took nearly a year for the products to be launched is that wine needs to be aged in cellars. Baijiu (Chinese white liquor) needs at least another year before it can be launched. Only wine and fruit wine have the right taste and meet the standards for being launched.

Meijiuhua Winery has verified accounts on various platforms. The people in charge of managing these accounts occasionally post about the daily life of the factory, but even so, each account gets a lot of traffic.

After all, netizens have been looking forward to the wine from Xianshan Farm for a long time.

Of the first batch of wine produced by Meijiuhua Winery, a small portion was supplied to a few partner supermarkets, while the majority was sold online.

The Xianshan Farm mobile app has also updated the descriptions of these wines, which will be officially launched at 11:00 AM on the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, and purchases will still be limited.

[After waiting a year, it's finally here! There's so much fruit wine! I hope I can buy some.]

The product details page for the wine is so interesting! It includes reviews from different people and even spirits after they've tasted it, and the little illustrations are so cute!

Next to each type of wine is a bunch of intoxicated mushroom spirits, some more, some less. The official account says this represents how much the mushroom spirits like these wines; the more intoxicated mushroom spirits there are, the more mushroom spirits like that particular fruit wine.

The white fox spirit likes peach wine, saying it makes the skin better; the golden-bearded fox spirit likes mulberry wine, saying it's good for health and makes hair smoother and shinier. I looked closely, and it seems not all the spirits registered on the immortal mountain have appeared?

[Maybe he doesn't like drinking, or maybe he's embarrassed to be on camera, hahaha.]

The illustrations on the product details page sparked discussions among netizens, and the buzz surrounding Meijiuhua Winery didn't die down until the day it was officially launched and went on sale.

The hop flower replaced the yeast, and the resulting wine had no side effects. On the contrary, because the hop flower is a spiritual plant, the wine also contained some spiritual energy, which had some benefits for the human body.

This point has been confirmed by various official institutions, and it is now included on the product details pages of all kinds of wines, along with the test reports.

If other types of alcohol claim to have health benefits, netizens will be more skeptical and hesitant.

But this was brewed using spiritual plants, and its benefits are undeniable.

Seeing the effects of various wines, netizens couldn't wait any longer, picked out the wines they wanted to drink, and have been waiting for the 20th of the twelfth lunar month to arrive.

At 11 a.m. that day, all the wines and various fruit wines were sold out as soon as they were put on the shelves.

The wines sold online are all from the factory and are shipped directly from the factory, without using the express delivery teams of Lingyuan Bird and Qingfeng Sect.

The wine supplied to several partner supermarkets is stored in the sacred mountain and delivered daily by a courier team.

During this year-end clearance livestream, Li Chang'an also gave away a batch of rice wine in a lucky draw.

This batch of rice wine is made from ordinary glutinous rice grown in the sacred mountains and fine wine flowers. He'll let his fans taste it first and then consider whether to expand production at the factory.

This year is another good year.

Since the first day of the Lunar New Year, many people have given feedback on the wine from Xianshan Farm.

Even though the wine produced in the factory only uses one spiritual plant material, the wine still tastes surprisingly good.

Even first-time drinkers said that it wasn't as pungent and difficult to swallow as they had imagined; on the contrary, it was quite smooth and sweet.

Moreover, I thought those effects would only be visible after drinking several bottles, but who knew that drinking just one bottle intermittently would also have the same effect.

Just like the feedback from the spirits on the product details page, people who drank peach wine noticed their skin was better, and those who drank mulberry wine experienced less hair loss...

Some fans who won the rice wine also gave feedback. They said that after cooking the rice wine with water and adding a few eggs, they felt warm inside and out and that it could improve their sleep. Their family members also felt that their faces looked healthier and they were more energetic after eating it.

Now, netizens are urging Meijiuhua Winery to produce rice wine again.

After the factory resumed operations after the Lantern Festival, Li Chang'an put the production of rice wine on the agenda.

As the terraced fields on Wolu Mountain expanded again, he planted several hundred acres of glutinous rice.

After finishing all that, Li Chang'an saw several more spirit tree saplings on Jiarong Mountain.

Those sacred trees were ones he had seen in the past in Jiarong Mountain.

Although the basic manual did not explicitly state it, the appearance of these spirit tree saplings confirmed to Li Chang'an that Jiarong Mountain was recovering to its former glory.

In this way, one of the conditions for worshipping Qingyao Mountain should be considered fulfilled.

After thinking it over, Li Chang'an took out the collected spirit silkworm cocoons and began to try weaving cloth.

Boil the silkworm cocoons in hot water to soften the sericin, then clean out the silk ends and reel in the silk.

Spirit silkworm silk is a very precious spiritual substance, and it is also very fragile and soft, as fine and ethereal as clouds and mist. From the moment the silkworm silk is untangled, spiritual power must be slowly infused to maintain the spirituality of each strand. If it breaks or comes into contact with mortal objects, it will lose its spirituality and become dull and lifeless.

Therefore, Li Chang'an hardly ate or rested, focusing solely on reeling silk.

It takes a lot of silkworm cocoons to weave a single bolt of silk, and it took Li Chang'an five days to reel the silk.

These five days were essentially a period of secluded cultivation. After the spiritual energy was injected into the silkworm silk, Li Chang'an absorbed spiritual energy to cultivate. After five days, his cultivation level had improved considerably.

After that, the yarn is wound, combined, straightened, threaded, and then rolled up before finally being woven on the loom.

It took Li Chang'an a month and a half to complete a single piece of raw silk.

For a month and a half, he was constantly infusing spiritual energy, cultivating, and dealing with the spiritual silkworm silk.

The other members of the Immortal Mountain knew he was busy and didn't bother him. They handled the affairs of the Immortal Mountain in an orderly manner. Every time he sold vegetables in a live broadcast, the white fox spirit and the tea spirit would appear on camera to explain. Occasionally, they would take turns sending people and spirits to Li Chang'an to deliver spiritual fruits and meals so that he could replenish his spiritual power.

A month and a half later, Li Chang'an came out of the room and showed everyone the woven raw silk.

This raw silk, without needing to be refined, has already become exceptionally soft and has a pearly luster. From different angles, you can see different iridescent colors, making it extremely beautiful.

Everyone, including the spirits, looked amazed.

"It's so beautiful," Li Chang'an exclaimed, echoing everyone's sentiments.

Jingjing snapped out of her daze, smiled at Li Chang'an, and asked, "Can we perform the sacrificial ceremony to open Qingyao Mountain?"

Li Chang'an smiled and nodded: "Yes."

He had already brewed the best spiritual wine with spiritual sorghum and fine wine flowers, and he also had more than five kinds of spiritual fruits. With this silk and the current appearance of Jiarong Mountain, he had already met all the sacrificial conditions for Qingyao Mountain.
