Sun Cheng had thought that the plot would begin soon, but he had not expected it.
In the next half a month, Shangxiang Town was peaceful.
However, Sun Cheng was not in a hurry. He had already waited for six years, so he did not mind waiting a few more days.
Moreover, he had a lot of things to do now. Not to mention cultivation and looking after the shop, just the preparations for the wedding had to be put on the agenda.
Xiao Yun would turn fifteen in less than three months. When she reached adulthood, Sun Cheng would marry his cousin.
Recently, he had been considering buying a new property in town. He was even considering buying a few acres of land and hiring some people to help with the farming.
Apart from that, Sun Cheng was also constantly going in and out of some of the medicine stores in town.
He wanted to buy some fresh medicinal seeds and plant them in the inner world.
Sun Cheng was so busy that he quickly forgot the time. When someone hurriedly knocked on the Heavenly Grain Shop early in the morning, he was still a little confused.
"Shopkeeper Sun, sorry to disturb you!"
It was a square-faced middle-aged man who knocked on the door of the grain store early in the morning.
Sun Cheng knew him. They had even shared a meal at the same table half a month ago.
He remembered that the other party was also from the prominent Ma family in town, but he was only from one of the branches.
"Uncle Ma, you came to my shop so early. You don't need sweet potato flour at home, right?”
The Ma family was a wealthy family in town and had been operating in Shangxiang Town for hundreds of years.
Although the person in front of Sun Cheng was only a branch of the Ma family, his family also had shops and land in town. He was an out-and-out wealthy family.
"Hey!"
The man shook his head." My family is unfortunate…My family is unfortunate…Shopkeeper Sun, I came to disturb you early in the morning because I wanted to ask you how much wine you still have in your shop?"”
Sun Cheng was stunned for a moment, but he soon had some guesses in his heart.
"Uncle Ma, do you have something to do at home?" he asked tentatively.”
That person's expression was not good, but he still nodded." Lin Xiang, that brat, has been fooling around outside for many years. He only got someone to send him back last night. It had only been a few years since they last met, but they had already been separated forever.”
"Sigh, before Big Brother left, he even instructed us to take care of that brat. Now that he's gone, how do you think we'll explain this to Big Brother in a hundred years?”
Knowing that Ma Linxiang, that bastard, had returned, Sun Cheng was overjoyed.
However, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he pondered for a moment before saying,"Uncle Ma, since it's Brother Linxiang's matter, I'll definitely help out.”
"How about this? Tell me how much wine you need and what price you want. I'll get you a batch today!”
The man's face looked better and he sighed.""Then I'll have to trouble you, Shopkeeper Sun. Here, this is the wine that I estimated to need. Just in case, follow the requirements of the higher-ups and add another 20%.”
Sun Cheng took the note from his hand and looked at it. He immediately knew what was going on.
The Ma family was a prestigious family in the town. Although Ma Linxiang was an ignorant and incompetent prodigal, he was still the eldest son and grandson of the eldest son.
With this identity, if he died, even if the Ma family's uncles paid him, they would still do a good job in his funeral.
There were a total of 40 tables for the four secondary seats in two days, and each table required at least two jars of wine weighing three catties each.
On the third day of the main banquet, Ma tribe prepared eighty tables, and each table needed to prepare two jars of wine each weighing four catties.
Adding it all up, and adding in the excess reserves, he would need at least a thousand catties of wine.
Such a large amount of wine could only be obtained by some restaurants and grain stores with strong connections before the border war ended.
However, the wine sold by the former was very expensive. This was also the reason why the Ma family came to Sun Cheng's place.
In Sun Cheng's inner world, the wine brewed from the excess sweet potatoes in the past few years had now accumulated more than ten thousand catties.
Therefore, it was naturally easy for him to concoct more than a thousand catties of wine.
Seeing that Sun Cheng had agreed, the person thanked him gratefully and was about to go back to help.
Before he left, he did not forget to sigh,"If Lin Xiang had even one-tenth of your ability, he probably would not have ended up like this." Sigh…"
After sending off that Ma clansman, Sun Cheng's mood became cheerful again.
He could earn at least 60 to 70 dollars from this liquor business.
Shangxiang Town had many mountains and rivers. There was not much cultivated land, so the land price was slightly higher than other towns. However, one mu of high-quality paddy field only cost seven or eight yuan.
Of course, Sun Cheng was most happy that Ma Linxiang faked his death and returned.
And with his return, the scaring scene was finally about to begin.
After waiting for six years, this day had finally arrived.
With that thought, how could Sun Cheng hold back?
He quickly washed up and changed his clothes. Then, he hung a sign outside the grain store that said," I have something to do."
After a simple breakfast, Sun Cheng first took 200 catties of wine from the inner world. He used different wine jars to pile them all into the grain store.
He quickly went to the backyard and placed another 200 catties of wine in the grocery room.
After doing all of this, Sun Cheng went to rent a carriage from the peddler's shop and asked the coachman to follow him back to the grain store.
He called the coachman and spent the entire morning to send all four hundred catties of wine to the Ma family.
These 400 catties of wine was already enough for Ma tribe's deputy seats to consume for the first two days.
Therefore, Sun Cheng wasn't in a hurry to give it to him. After all, he needed time to concoct it.
After settling the accounts with the housekeeper arranged by the Ma family, he was not in a hurry to go back.
Sun Cheng bought a bundle of fire paper and first paid his respects to Ma Linxiang's remains.
Then, he lit an incense stick for him and met Ma Linxiang's fake wife, Li Yueying, under the butler's arrangements.
After exchanging greetings with Li Yueying and exchanging a few words of comfort, Sun Cheng's gaze could not help but fall on a man in a strange white Daoist robe who was following closely behind Li Yueying.
The butler had introduced this person to him earlier, saying that he was Li Yueying's older brother.
But Sun Cheng knew that he was actually Li Yueying's real husband.
"Sir, is there something wrong with my clothes?”
The Daoist frowned slightly as if he was being stared at by Sun Cheng.
Sun Cheng slightly circulated the zhenqi in his body and saw that the person's expression changed slightly.
" Qi Transformation Stage?!"
Sun Cheng nodded, then smiled and gestured to the side.
"Fellow Daoist, I am also a cultivator. It's rare to meet a fellow daoist. Can we move a little and have a chat?”
He looked at the Daoist with a smile, looking forward to his answer.
That Daoist was slightly hesitant, and then subconsciously looked towards Li Yueying.
After the woman nodded slightly, he smiled at Sun Cheng and said,""Alright, after you, Fellow Daoist."
"Please!"
