Chapter 793: 783. Gifts are valuable, but sentiment is more invaluable_1

That makes sense!

Song Tan always considered herself quite quick-witted, hadn’t all the profitable ventures in the fields been named after the Song family?

But now in comparison, even the roots in the pasture seemed destined to carry the Niu surname!

She was extremely enthusiastic and quickly poured a cup of wine for Niu Ben:

“Boss Niu, is there more? Can you tell us more?”

Since he was here, she might as well pick Boss Niu’s brain clean!

However, he politely declined, “No more for me, no more, I’m just accompanying the teacher for a drink or two as a gesture. I have to tend to the cattle this afternoon, and it’s not good to drink too much.”

Hearing this, Song Tan set the wine down as well.

However, Professor Song smacked his lips, not quite satisfied, “You should have said so earlier! I thought you wanted to drink. Next time, don’t bother with these formalities, just having a meal together as a family is good enough.”

Niu Ben was taken aback, “Professor Song, you don’t drink anymore?” Before, he would have a little drink every few days, whether it was erguotou or Maotai, he would have it.

Speaking of this, Professor Song also seemed wistful, “I had some really good wine a while back, that taste… sigh, forget it, I don’t need to drink this ordinary stuff anymore.”

Niu Ben: …

He picked up the wine bottle to take a look–over eight hundred a bottle, that wasn’t too shabby, right?

What kind of good wine had the professor had?

Meanwhile, the little one in Niu Jia’s arms started laughing again, “Drinking! Getting smacked! Sleeping on the sofa!”

Everyone looked over, only to see Niu Jia’s face turning red once more. Feeling the eyes on him, he blustered,

“Our sofa is worth tens of thousands, what’s wrong with sleeping on it!”

Nothing, nothing, we didn’t say anything, as long as you’re happy.

But Niu Ben looked on sympathetically, “Jiajia, don’t worry, when you’re here, we sleep on wooden plank beds, we definitely wouldn’t make you sleep on the sofa.”

Niu Jia: …

With his brother saying this, he’d rather go back to sleeping on the sofa!

After a satisfying meal and drinks, Yan Ran finally handed over the half jin of tea leaves she had been carrying, “Brother Niu, the teacher often speaks of you, saying you’re bold, hardworking, and down-to-earth, that your life will only get better and better. So, this time we came, we didn’t bring anything else, just some tea leaves…”

With her words, Niu Ben took them to heart–he really was bold, hardworking and down-to-earth, so he was deeply moved,

“Professor Song, if it weren’t for your introduction to the teacher back then, I wouldn’t be where I am today… Since you’ve come all this way, why bring a gift? That makes me feel like an outsider!”

Yan Ran used her spring and autumn brushstrokes with skill, “Brother, this isn’t being distant, it’s just that the teacher also wanted to see how you’re doing these days.”

“As for this tea, while it’s not famous, I witnessed its price rise with the teacher, from eleven thousand a jin to now fifty thousand a jin, monopolized and impossible to find on the market. Please don’t look down on it.”

This wasn’t a lie; after all, if Boss Chang was willing to spend fifty thousand on it, then its target market certainly wasn’t for someone at Niu Ben’s net worth. He might not even have the chance to come across it.

As for the online store… when the time comes, and everyone’s perched on their routers, it really wouldn’t be easy to secure a purchase.

With this explanation, Professor Song also nodded along, “Keep it for your own enjoyment. In the future, you really might not be able to buy it.”

Niu Ben was shrewd in business, and he could tell at a glance that the tea leaves came in a half jin gift box. But he didn’t feel slighted at all; instead, he was pleasantly surprised.

What does “witnessing it” mean, and why say “impossible to find on the market”?

Given the teacher’s current status, saying something like that proves this tea is specially provided!

Why is Teacher Song so nice wahhhhh…

The burly Niu Ben turned his back to open the tea so that no one could see his reddening eyes, and he also took the opportunity to say:

“Alright, then I’ll borrow Buddha’s flowers to offer a cup to everyone, to taste this flavor!”

“We don’t need any.” Professor Song and the others brewed a cup before they left, and now they’re only on the third infusion, still good for a few more sips. Let’s not waste it.

Even Song Tan presented her own teacup, saying we are already drinking this.

But…

Niu Ben blinked blankly: Why do your cups still have yellow leaves?

He looked at the pinch of tea he had taken out, dark green with subtle hints of silver tips, beautifully shaped, the scent of the dry tea was faintly discernible, tempting him to take a deep breath…

But in any case, it had not a trace of other colors.

Niu Ben understood: The teachers must be drinking an inferior product, and what he brought for himself must be a premium supply for internal use!

He sincerely began brewing it, putting slightly, just slightly, less in Jia Jia’s cup.

As hot water poured into the cup, the tea leaves began to unfurl, and soon, Niu Ben took a deep breath and quickly repacked the tea leaves and placed them in the fridge!

In any case, it was his treasure, and from now on, no one else better think about touching it–unless there’s another industry gathering!

Hahaha, then he would tuck his wallet in his elbow, holding a teacup with one hand… Drink, and make them all green with envy!

All in all, there’s nothing in this world that can’t be resolved with tea. If there is, then bring another two measures of liquor.

Luckily, Niu Ben was already content, not even mentioning a nap anymore, holding his teacup, he was eager to take everyone to see the cattle.

That was perfect because as for Niu Ben’s place for meals… Professor Song had only slowly eaten one bowl anyway. It couldn’t be said it was inedible, but between a state banquet and a regular hotel feast, everyone has their preferences.

And look, Jia Jia’s son didn’t sleep either, following everyone to see the cattle.

The first thing they saw was the cattle pen.

In this regard, Niu Ben wasn’t completely a businessman: “Our cattle pen is large, this is just one of them, and basically, apart from winter and during extreme heat or snowstorms, this place is just for sleeping at night.”

“Boss Xiaosong, I am only happy with free-range cattle. Free-ranging is truly good; it results in better quality beef.”

He sighed: “Have you seen those pen-raised cattle? They tie up the cattle with short ropes in the pen, with fences separating each one where they eat.”

“From young to old, they’re hardly given a chance to walk, except for weighing… I can’t say that’s wrong, we’re all farmers, working hard to earn money to support the family, it’s not easy for anyone.”

“But for me, my family likes cattle, we’ve raised cattle for so many years, the cattle understand us, and they have feelings too. We may eat them, but let’s let them live happily for the rest of their lives…”

It may sound a bit hypocritical, but Niu Ben didn’t think so much about it; he just felt at ease doing it this way.

Now he opened the pen to let everyone in: “But that kind of cattle, because they’re always fed a formulated feed, their price won’t go up–when sold off whole, it’s usually eight yuan per jin.”

“It’s different here; I’m targeting the mid-to-high-end market.”

“Boss Xiaosong, our economy isn’t doing very well right now, you have to trust me, just focus on quality.”

“Nowadays, people are no longer as enthusiastic about clothing and luxury items as before. Instead, they are becoming more and more willing to spend money on food.”

“You work on quality, and once it’s good, I’ll introduce my customers to you, and you won’t worry about sales!”
