Chapter 270: Flowers Bloom on Moshang Fragrant Pavilion
…
Yan Zixiu came out of his residence and looked at the sun in the sky. He found that although he had been studying in the Immortal Mansion for a long time, it had only been about half an hour in the outside world.
He came to Xiangguang Pavilion again, pushed the door open, and saw that the interior was very elegantly decorated, with landscape screens, spiritual wood shelves, larch potted plants, and crystal chandeliers, everything was exquisite.
Sitting behind the sandalwood desk is a young female cultivator with a beautiful appearance and an indifferent expression, holding a book and reading it. Her cultivation level is in the early stage of foundation building.
When the female cultivator saw someone coming in, she put down her book, stood up and asked, "This...fellow Taoist, what do you need?"
The reason why she hesitated was because she saw that the person coming seemed to have spiritual energy and seemed to be a mortal.
Yan Zixiu asked: "I would like to know what your store sells and what you purchase."
The female nun replied: "Our shop sells all kinds of spiritual incense used by monks. We are not purchasing anything at the moment."
"Is there any spiritual fragrance that can help monks resolve inner demons?"
"Yes, but there is only one kind, one hundred spiritual stones."
"Can I take a look?"
The female cultivator took out a spiritual wood box from the storage bag, placed it on the desk and opened it. Inside was five green spiritual incense sticks.
Yan Zixiu gently flapped the incense box with his hand and smelled it with his nose: "With all due respect, this incense only has some effect on monks below the middle stage of foundation building."
The female cultivator was slightly startled: "Fellow Taoist, what you see is not bad. But there is only one kind. If you, Taoist, need it, you can give me an appropriate discount."
"I don't need it for the time being, but I can provide a better spiritual incense than this. I wonder if you are interested?"
The female nun was a little surprised, but also a little happy: "Of course I'm interested. Please sit down."
The two sat down, and the female cultivator poured some spirit tea and asked, "I don't know what you call me?"
"I'm Yan Ziling. May I ask your name?"
"Mohua."
"A good name. The flowers are blooming on the road, and you can return home slowly."
Mo Hua was very curious: "This sentence said by fellow Taoist Yan has a beautiful artistic conception. I wonder what classic it comes from?"
Yan Zixiu took a sip of spiritual tea: "In our hometown, there is a prince named Qian. He likes his princess very much. The princess goes back to her parents' home once every spring. Once, the princess went to her parents' home again. Prince Qian was taking care of political affairs.
After leaving the palace to relax, he saw that the embankment of the West Lake at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain was already full of pinks and willows, and a variety of colors. He thought that he and the princess had not seen each other for many days, so he wrote a letter, including this sentence: The flowers are blooming on the road, but you can slowly
Return."
"The relationship between this couple is so good. The prince's poems are also good, their love is sincere and delicate." Mo Hua sighed.
She lowered her head and thought about it for a while before picking up the topic, "Fellow Taoist just now said that he could provide better spiritual incense. Please tell me the details."
Yan Zixiu said: "Not only can I make spiritual incense with better effects, but the level of monks that the spiritual incense is suitable for can also be improved to the golden elixir stage and the Yuanying stage."
Mo Hua smiled: "Of course that's good. But how can fellow Taoists make me have confidence?"
Yan Zixiu pointed to the spiritual wood incense box on the desk: "The formula for this spiritual incense is twelve parts of Qingling flower, six parts of bitter root, six parts of snow mountain lotus, and one part of benzoin. Am I right?"
Mo Hua couldn't help but stood up: "Fellow Daoist Yan actually knew the recipe after smelling the fragrance. This is a strange thing that I have never heard of. Mo Hua admires it very much. Then, how can we cooperate?"
Yan Zixiu said: "I will provide the formula, provide the labor, and be responsible for the production. Fellow Taoist is responsible for providing raw materials and sales, how about it?"
Mo Hua said decisively: "No problem. How will the net income be divided?"
"Please, fellow Taoist, come up with a plan."
Mo Hua thought for a while: "How about a 50-50 split? Or you can have six and four of us. After all, the formula and production are more important. You can contact anyone for sales."
"Let's go to Five-Five. It's not easy to buy raw materials and expand sales." Yan Zixiu, as usual, pushed for more and took less.
Seeing his generosity, Mo Hua admired him very much. She took out a pen and paper: "Then please ask fellow Taoist Yan to make a list of raw materials."
Yan Zixiu wrote three lists and handed them over: "These correspond to monks below the foundation building stage, golden elixir stage monks and Nascent Soul stage monks."
Mo Hua looked at it and said: "The prices of these elixirs are not low. Let's make the first two first. Make 200 sticks of incense for the foundation-building stage and 20 sticks for the golden elixir stage. What do fellow Taoists think?
"
"No problem. I live in Futian Courtyard on Yangliu Street. If you have all the ingredients, you can send someone to deliver them to me."
"Okay, I'll send someone to buy the elixir right away. I'll send it over early tomorrow morning."
"Then I'll take my leave."
…
When Yan Zixiu returned to Futian Courtyard, it was getting late.
Gao Jin and Jia Gui came forward: "Mr. Yan, how is the situation?"
Yan Zixiu smiled and said: "I'm lucky. I found a shop that cooperates in manufacturing spiritual incense. The other party will send the raw materials tomorrow morning. As long as you sell them, you will have spiritual stones."
The two were very happy: "That's great. Dinner is already prepared and waiting for you."
When the three of them arrived at the restaurant, they were all waiting for Mr. Yan.
Everyone was very happy when they heard the good news. Now they had work to do, they had spiritual stones to earn, and they were finally at ease.
…
Early the next morning, Yan Zixiu sent Jia Gui and others to buy various tools for making incense.
Just as Jia Gui left, Mo Hua came with a maid. The maid was wearing a light yellow dress, had a delicate appearance, and her cultivation was at the Dzogchen level of Qi training.
Yan Zixiu welcomed the two of them into the living room and seated them separately.
Gao Jin offers tea. Now they have no money, only good tea from the world.
Mo Hua didn't mind it and took out a storage bag: "Fellow Daoist Yan, these are the raw materials for three hundred sticks of foundation-building spiritual incense and thirty golden elixir-stage spiritual incense. In addition, I have a proposal. Regarding the distribution of pure income, I
You can ask for 20% less, but I hope that my maid, Zhuang Ling, can participate in the incense making process. Of course, if something is wrong, just pretend that I didn’t say anything."
Gao Jin gently touched Yan Zixiu's arm.
Yan Zixiu understood what he meant, he was afraid that the other party would learn the craftsmanship and then abandon him.
Gao Jin and his gang still rely on this craft for their meals.
However, he also understood Mohua's difficulties. After all, he had invested a lot and it was his first time working together. What if he ran away with the raw materials? This was an investment of tens of thousands of spiritual stones.
As for Mo Hua not mentioning this request yesterday, I guess she was a little impulsive and didn't think carefully at the time. Now she wants to make up for it.
For Yan Zixiu himself, it doesn't matter who learns it. However, the interests of all parties must be balanced and taken care of. This will test the art of life.
He thought for a while and said: "Fellow Taoist Mohua, as for the distribution of net income, it remains unchanged. In order to show sincerity, Taoist friend Zhuang Ling can be fully involved in the production of the foundation-building spiritual incense. The production of the golden elixir-stage spiritual incense
, participate in half of it. I will not participate in the production of the Nascent Soul Stage Spiritual Incense. What do you think, fellow Taoist?"
Mo Hua was already very satisfied that the other party could open up to this extent: "Okay. I completely agree. Zhuang Ling, come here and meet Fellow Daoist Yan."
The maid Zhuang Ling stepped forward and saluted: "I've met fellow Taoist Yan."
Yan Zixiu stood up and held his hands in his hands: "I have met fellow Taoist Zhuang Ling."
Gao Jin feels that Mr. Yan's handling method is more appropriate. Now they have no relatives and nothing. If they insist on refusing and cause the other party to withdraw cooperation, then this group of people will be in trouble again.
One sign of wisdom is the ability to compromise appropriately.
"Okay. Zhuang Ling, you can stay here, I'll go back to look at the store." Mo Hua stood up and said goodbye.
Not long after sending Mohua away, Jia Gui and others came back with tools.
