Mirroring the changes

"Oh my, the guest officer served me with good taste!"

The old man filled everyone's wine glasses again and said with admiration: "To be honest, these two things were given by the eminent monks in the temple."

In fact, the sorghum used to make wine is cultivated in Lichen using red corn + fertilized soil in Xuyu gourds.

For a moment, the gourd flickers for a moment.

Xi soil is also a spiritual creature from the beginning of heaven and earth. It has the character of 'proliferation' and has the effect of nurturing all things.

In addition, Li Chen obtained the Wanhe Spirit Spring water from the Wanhe Secret Realm.

The three combined have made red corn popular for many generations.

The good ones were all kept by Li Chen, while the bad ones were all favored by Li Ergou.

Just drinking someone else's wine is not the same thing.

The monk was obviously a little surprised when he heard this. He raised his head slightly, revealing a chin with a gray beard.

"profound?"

"I didn't expect that there are such strange species and spiritual springs in the Shasheng Temple."

He held the wine cup in his hand, shook it between two fingers, raised the wine cup, and lifted half of the hat.

A familiar face appeared, with rosacea and a mustache. It was none other than the alcoholic Qu Huanbo.

No wonder the store owner said that he was ‘the god of wine’, but the monks nearby laughed.

Qu Huanbo held down the bamboo hat with one hand and raised the wine cup with the other. He raised his head slightly, took a small sip and then smacked his mouth, as if he had thoroughly absorbed the wine.

"Wine is good wine."

"It's a pity that I want to be included in the "Famous Wine List" but I'm still a little behind."

The old man was slightly startled, but the smile on his face did not diminish by half. He had an idea and turned to call to the waiter: "Go, get some water to cook the mutton."

"Hey, sir, our wild goats are different from those in other places. The meat is fresh and tender, without any smell, and it's very beautiful."

After saying that, he was not idle, picked up a teapot from the side and filled it for all the monks.

Everyone couldn't help laughing, how could they not see that the shopkeeper had other desires.

They all looked at Qu Huanbo.

Qu Huanbo shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Boss, it doesn't have to be like this."

"What about the shortcomings of your wine?"

"It's just that the brewing technique is too rough, especially the steaming process. Although it improves the taste of the wine, it also removes the spiritual energy in the wine."

“It’s really a waste of time and money, what a pity~”

When the old man heard this, his face suddenly showed excitement, and he quickly stood up and saluted: "It's really amazing!"

"When this wine is first brewed, it is indeed fragrant and ecstatic when you smell it. But when you drink it, it seems a bit bland."

"The old man used a steamer and steamed it twice, which improved the taste of the wine a lot, but the aroma of the wine was not as good as before."

"It turns out that the problem is really with cooking~"

Qu Huanbo leisurely put down his wine glass and said in deep thought: "As I just said, this wine has two wonderful features: sorghum and spring water."

"Especially the taste of sorghum, which seems to have a natural simplicity, somewhat like the ancient southern sorghum recorded in ancient books."

"The wine brewed from this sorghum has a lingering flavor and a mellow aroma."

“That’s why this wine is a rare wine.”

"But you use a crude method of steaming the alcohol, which just removes the spirit in the wine. It's really a waste of natural resources."

The old man suddenly realized what he said, and his face was slightly excited: "Sir, you are an expert."

"Sir, I am also a lover of wine. I'm afraid I don't want to see this wine decline. Please give me some guidance."

“How can we retain the aroma of wine while also increasing the taste of wine?”

Qu Huanbo smiled softly, but he didn't show off: "Actually, it's not difficult to say it's difficult, and it's not easy to say it's simple."

"In ancient times, there were many similar fine wines, but they did not use steaming to enhance the flavor of the wine. Instead, they used a type of alien insect between heaven and earth, called the 'wine worm'."

"This insect drinks water and vomits when its stomach is full, which makes the smell of wine stronger."

"If this insect is present, the wine does not need to be steamed, and it can also add flavor to the wine."

When the old man heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Sir, could you please tell me where this insect can be found?"

Qu Huanbo shook his head: "The shopkeeper is going to be disappointed."

"This insect was common in ancient times, but now it is very rare. There are only a few of them in the world, and each one has its own unique features, which are all obtained by fate."

Speaking of this, Qu Huanbo couldn't help but groan.

I don’t know what it was like in ancient times when there were so many wine bugs.

At the same time, the old man's face darkened: What's wrong with you?

But at this time, Qu Huan Bozhong spoke again:

"but……"

"There is another thing, although it is not as good as the wine bug."

"But the effect is not bad."

As soon as these words came out, they immediately ignited the hope in the other party's heart.

The old man couldn't hide the joy in his eyes. Just when he was about to ask, he suddenly felt embarrassed. After thinking about it, he shouted inside: "Why isn't the mutton ready yet?"

"Alright, alright!"

The second brother was sweating and walked quickly towards the kitchen.

When the old man saw this, he turned around and said with a smile, "Sir, you don't know something."

"Little old man, I am addicted to alcohol."

"I have a special liking for winemaking. If I can make a good wine, my life will be worth it."

Seeing his sincerity, Qu Huanbo didn't hide anything at the moment: "Actually, this method is not a secret."

"There is a kind of moss on the water and land in Lingnan Prefecture, called 'Hu moss'."

“This moss grows on the bluestone and is reduced in half by water.

If the wine has been soaked with moss when it is first made, the water in the wine will be absorbed by it, and the remaining wine will be much richer. "

"Although it can't turn decay into magic like the wine bug, it can purify wine, which is just right for this wine."

"It's not a big secret in Lingnan Prefecture."

The old man was overjoyed when he heard this: "There is such a magical thing in the world!"

"Hahaha, there are many strange ways to make wine, and filtering wine with moss is indeed unique.

If you make wine with this method, although it is not good, it can be regarded as a local fine wine."

Qu Huanbo raised his wine and took another sip.

The old man was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was thinking about where to find the moss.

"Water basin mutton~"

Just at this time, the waiter shouted from behind.

A large basin of steaming mutton was served on the table.

The aroma in the basin was rich and went straight into the nose, which complemented the wine in the glass.

"Haha, good meat, good wine!"

"Shopkeeper, let's not talk about the wine, this dish is also a delicious food."

"Thank you very much, it's just a dish of mutton."

"Enjoy your meal~"

The old man poured more wine for everyone and was about to leave.

"Shopkeeper, wait a minute."

"Bring a bowl of mutton to this table~"

It turned out that the mutton was so fragrant that it had already attracted the guests at the next table to salivate.

But who knew that the old man suddenly looked embarrassed and said with a smile on his face: "Sir, I'm so sorry."

"We got this goat meat by chance, and there is only one portion. Next time there is more, I will ask this guest to keep an eye out for it, how about it?"

As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling person.

But who knew that the monk at the head of this table snorted coldly: "Hey, you old man, are you kidding us?"

"What a big bowl of mutton, right in front of us, dare you say there is no?"
