Mu Xiyue's Request
Wei Han's expression suddenly turned strange.
He had thought that the other party would use her power to seize things by force, and he had also thought that the other party would use intimidation and inducement to force transactions, but he never thought that she actually wanted to become his disciple?
"I've heard of people joining various major sects these days, but I've never heard of anyone taking a peer as a teacher to learn how to brew wine!" Wei Han couldn't help laughing.
Mu Xiyue blushed in embarrassment: "Excuse me, Senior Brother Zhao. Actually, Yue'er is very obsessed with winemaking techniques. She has been exposed to these since she was a child. After seeing the unique features of Qiongjiang Liquor and Yuye Liquor, she naturally wanted to study them."
"Also, to be honest, although these two kinds of wine have only been stored for a short time, their quality is definitely better than any other recipe of my Mu family. If I don't learn how to brew them, my family will probably be doomed!"
Mu Xiyue revealed her shortcomings without any hesitation or attempt to hide them!
In fact, she also knew that she couldn't hide it. Not only Wei Han knew this, but if the drinkers outside had tasted the Mu family's wine, they would probably be able to tell the good from the bad.
"You can rest assured about this!" Wei Han waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "I have no interest in dominating the wine market, and even less interest in making money. I just opened a wine shop to kill time. In addition, my family's wine production is not high, and it is only sold in the store every day. It will not have any impact on your Mu family."
"Brother, you don't understand!" Mu Xiyue shook her head bitterly: "Even if you just open a small shop, it won't have much impact on the Mu family's business on the surface. At most, some regular customers will be pulled away. But over the years, I don't know how many forces have wanted to break my Mu family's monopoly on alcohol. Once they find someone who can suppress the Mu family's alcohol, what will be the consequences?"
The girl stopped there!
Wei Han knew what she meant.
I am afraid that by then there will be countless forces who will want to pounce on him openly or secretly and control this good knife of his to stab the Mu family fiercely.
This is because I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me!
Mu Xiyue has been accustomed to these open and secret struggles for many years, so it is normal for her to be so vigilant, and her analysis is likely to become a reality.
Wei Han also didn't want to become the center of the storm for no reason.
"What do you want?" Wei Han frowned and asked, "Become my disciple, learn my craft, and then protect the Mu family?"
"That's right!" Mu Xiyue nodded awkwardly: "If you feel that you are at a disadvantage, our Mu family can pay for the formula. Besides, you and I have a master-disciple relationship, and outsiders will not be able to provoke us to fight. Why not?"
"Aren't you worried about your reputation?" Wei Han was surprised.
"Compared with reputation and family interests, Yue'er can still clearly tell which is more important." Mu Xiyue sighed and smiled bitterly: "The inheritance of aristocratic families may seem as stable as Mount Tai, but in fact, everyone is walking on thin ice. If you receive benefits, you will naturally have to pay a price."
Wei Han secretly admired in his heart!
This is a smart girl.
She saw things very clearly, without the stupidity and arrogance of ordinary noble ladies. She never thought of using her power to threaten Wei Han, because she was afraid of forcing him into the arms of the enemy.
Being so frank with each other, we have a basis for negotiation!
"Okay, two million!" Wei Han thought for a moment and said, "These wines of mine are derived from the ancient Qiongjiang Yuye recipe. They are divided into Qiongjiang wine, Yuye wine, and Qiongjiang Yuye wine. If you pay me two million, I can teach you how to make Qiongjiang wine and Yuye wine."
"And the nectar?" Mu Xiyue was shocked. With a hint of desire on her pretty face, she asked, "Can't it be taught together?"
"Okay, but it'll cost extra, and I'm afraid you can't afford it." Wei Han smiled, and Mu Xiyue was immediately speechless.
He can't afford this, I'm afraid it will be a sky-high price!
"Don't worry!" Wei Han said casually, "I only brewed a small batch of Qiongjiang Yuye wine for my own use. It will not be circulated on the market. You buy the first two kinds of wine, which is enough to resolve the family crisis and even take yourself to a higher level."
"In that case, two million taels is not expensive." Mu Xiyue showed surprise, while the two maids looked shocked and confused.
Two million taels isn’t expensive?
This is not a small amount!
Although the Mu family is wealthy and powerful, the expenses of training disciples, guests, and guards in the family are also very huge. If such a large sum of money is used rashly, it will probably alarm the elders of the family. How dare the young lady make the decision alone?
"You don't have to become my disciple!" Wei Han said casually, "I'll sell you the recipe for two million taels, and I can even teach you how to brew a batch of wine. But how well you learn is up to you. I can't guarantee that everyone can learn my methods."
"So natural!" Mu Xiyue chuckled confidently, "As long as Master doesn't hold back, I will be confident that I can learn. Besides, since I have learned your craft, you should not be stingy with the title of master and apprentice, right? I greet you, Master!"
Mu Xiyue chuckled playfully!
He bowed to Wei Han decisively.
The way she takes advantage of the situation is as if she is afraid that he will change his mind.
"You are really smart!" Wei Han couldn't help but sigh: "In fact, two million taels is not a lot of money for me. Just selling the formula to your Mu family can also reduce my troubles. It is mutually beneficial for both parties."
"I understand, Master!" Mu Xiyue expressed her gratitude again: "I will ask someone to send the apprenticeship gift and banknotes to me when I get home. I wonder when Master will teach me?"
"I make wine at Shenjian Villa outside the city." Wei Han pondered for a moment and said, "I will personally go back to the villa every three days to get wine and preside over the winemaking. You can come and watch at any time, but don't bring outsiders. Also, don't tell everyone that I'm your master. Keep a low profile. I don't like trouble."
"Yue'er understands!"
Mu Xiyue nodded solemnly in agreement.
After a while, he left with two bottles of wine.
"Hurry, go home!"
Mu Xiyue urged the driver anxiously.
At this time, the maid couldn't help but remind her: "Miss, aren't you too anxious? You should go home and discuss this matter with the master."
"Yes, it also involves two million taels of silver." Another maid couldn't help but feel distressed: "What kind of crappy formula is worth this price?"
“You don’t understand!”
Mu Xiyue shook her head and was too lazy to explain to them.
He went straight back to the Mu family mansion in the north of the city.
When she hurried to the study room, holding up her skirt and carrying some wine, her father Mu Qingfeng was writing in an attempt to show off his elegance.
"Dad, please prepare a generous gift for me and another 2 million taels of silver notes, quickly!" Mu Xiyue spoke anxiously, as if she was afraid that others would go back on their word, which immediately made Mu Qingfeng laugh.
"What are you doing?" Mu Qingfeng said lovingly, "Did you see something good at the auction and come back in a hurry to get the money?"
"No, no, no, my daughter is going to become an apprentice!" Mu Xiyue explained what happened while opening the Qiongjiang wine and Yuye wine she brought back.
Mu Qingfeng sniffed the aroma of wine in the air, and his old face suddenly became dull.
When he tasted it himself, the shock in his heart turned into a strong curiosity: "Nectar of Jade Liquor, could it be the guy who fought with me for it at the last auction? Did he really imitate this ancient formula?"
