Chapter 49: Introducing wine with wine
"Wine? Did you make it, manager? It's really weird!"
Hong Qigong touched his chin and showed a surprised look.
"I've heard you mention it a few times, but I'm not interested in wine. Why did you suddenly start making wine?"
Hong Qigong, who had red rosacea and kept sniffing, had indeed felt a strange aroma of wine, and couldn't help but feel like a wine bug.
"Wine? Did you make it?"
Nu Liang's voice sounded, carrying a world-dominating aura.
"Give me an altar!"
Without any other words, he just monopolized one of the five jars of wine. The others were really rude.
After all, judging from Nu Liang Hua Lao's aura, it is as difficult to reach as mountains and seas. It seems that Lao Tianshi can be similar, but Lao Tianshi obviously will not conflict with Nuliang Hua Lao on this matter.
'What a... what a domineering guy. His aura... the old guy seems to be far inferior to him. Is this a visitor from another world?'
Shang Xiu's eyes showed a bit of fear. She had just broken through the innate realm not long ago. When using breath and spirit to sense the strength of others, it is easy to be too sensitive. This is also the disadvantage of her directly relying on cooking to break through. In fact, it only takes a period of practice.
Enough.
But she was greedy again, because after eating the dishes cooked by Zhao Youqian, she didn't like the cooks at her ranch. If Lu Miaozi hadn't cooked a few dishes in person, she would have been starving herself.
A few days.
She didn't just choose to leave as soon as she could come to Zhutian Xiaoguan again. Fortunately, she remembered Lu Miaozi's request and chose to leave in front of him, but what was left behind was just an extremely shocked old man.
Even though Lu Miaozi was already a master-level martial arts master, it was difficult to understand the reason for Shang Xiu's sudden disappearance. She could only sit there with a wry smile and worry, waiting for the return of her rebellious daughter.
...
"Ha, let the old man and this little brother share the same altar!"
The old Heavenly Master pointed at Hu Zhou, who was sitting aside and did not speak, and gestured to Zhao Youqian. Then Tony Stark glanced at Shang Xiu, who was a little embarrassed, and pulled Hong Qigong.
"Then the three of us will have two jars of wine and some side dishes!"
Seeing their unceremonious looks, Zhao Youqian wanted to laugh a little.
"Anyway, you all have to give me an evaluation to see if there are any flaws in the wine, otherwise you won't be able to leave!"
As he spoke, Zhao Youqian sent the wine over one by one, along with wine glasses and rice bowls, and then served table after table some appetizers.
"You guys drink first. I have something to do in the kitchen. If you need anything, call me!"
Seeing that everything was ready, Zhao Youqian couldn't wait to redeem the intermediate ritual and enter the samadhi in the system that he had long preferred. After a few words of explanation, he retreated to the back of the kitchen and went to tinker with his own system mall.
Instead, the diners present looked at each other and fell into silence.
However, with a person like Hong Qigong, the embarrassing scene would never last long. Soon, the comfortable and transparent old beggar directly picked up a jar of wine.
Even if there is a peerless beauty like Shang Xiu in front of her, she is still not doing anything right.
"Young boy from the Stark family, this jar belongs to me! Let me see what the wine brewed by the manager, a non-drinker, tastes like!"
Holding a hand full of wine, there is absolutely no frailty of being over sixty years old, only an indescribable sense of heroism and grandeur.
At this time, Shang Xiucai discovered that this old beggar who looked inconspicuous was actually a martial arts master who had returned to his true nature.
But who is more powerful compared to the one in her family, she can't tell with her eyesight.
"Qi Gong, you want to rob it too? What if the store manager brews something sour?"
Seeing Hong Qigong pouring a jar of wine into his mouth, Tony Stark was not to be outdone. He directly picked up the jar, shook it, then opened the lid, and first gave Shang Xiu Shen the wine.
Fill up the cup in front of you, then fill up your own.
As soon as these two people moved, the other people would naturally not stop. Nuliang Huaguo drank by himself and had already put a cup into his throat.
Only the old Celestial Master and the mysterious scholar Hu Zhou were sitting across from each other. They were still smiling at each other. Finally, the Celestial Master broke the silence.
"This little brother is quite extraordinary. I wonder if he can drink alcohol?"
He didn't give Hu Zhou a chance to refuse, so he opened the lid of the wine, filled it for Hu Zhou, and poured himself a glass.
"It's been a long time since I've had a drink, and I really miss the taste of this cup!"
Hu Zhouzhao, who had been silent until now, finally spoke and picked up the full wine glass.
"I'm young at home, so I haven't had a few drinks, but..."
Hu Zhou's eyes moved.
"Since the store manager made it himself, you can try it too."
As he spoke, he put the wine into his mouth in one gulp, and the next moment his face flashed a bright red, which made the Heavenly Master look interesting.
"Hahaha, this wine has never been raised before. Little brother, you don't have to drink it in such a hurry. You can taste it slowly by tasting it..."
Master Tian took a small sip and looked surprised after just one sip.
"This wine?"
Before he finished his exclamation, Shang Xiu also showed a surprised look.
“It’s obviously wine that has never been stored, so why does it taste like this?”
Even though Shang Xiu had tasted a lot of wine, in the Tang Dynasty where distillation technology was underdeveloped, even if the alcohol produced by Zhao Youqian was not high in alcohol content, it had surpassed all the wines Shang Xiu had tasted, allowing her to have a taste of it.
Feeling tipsy.
Otherwise, in a place like this where she was surrounded by strangers and even visitors from other worlds, she would not have exclaimed so carelessly.
"This rich and aged taste...but it also has the refreshing and spicy taste of the wine that has just been made!"
Hong Qigong was the one who felt the most deeply. Half a jar of wine had gone into his stomach in a short period of time, but he had exhausted his past memories and could not think of any wine similar to this jar.
"But this wine...I can't tell what category it belongs to?"
At this time, Nu Liang Hua Lao rarely spoke.
"That's natural! This is how to introduce wine to wine!"
"In ancient times, the quality of wine was not good enough. If you want to brew better quality wine, you need to use the old wine as a starter and add it as part of the water during fermentation to replace the clear water..."
"However, this method soon became extinct because it was really uneconomical. Later, the so-called distiller's yeast appeared!"
There was a look of surprise on his face. If Nuliang Huaguo hadn't been around for a long time, he might not have known about this brewing technique.
Zhao Youqian is young and doesn't know how he learned it.
At this moment, Zhao Youqian walked out from behind the kitchen, and his demeanor seemed to have changed again. Every move and every gesture inexplicably carried a hint of the charm of ancient sacrifices.
