Chapter 502: Brewing(1/2)
The shopkeeper was about to answer when he heard a commotion downstairs. It turned out that many armed soldiers lined up and ran over from a distance. When they arrived outside the inn, they immediately spread out and surrounded the Yuebin Building. Then, a
A middle-aged man about fifty years old came in with a group of soldiers. The middle-aged man had a majestic look on his face, and it seemed that he had been in a high position for a long time.
The shopkeeper sighed in a low voice: "Oh, the Lord of the City is indeed here." He quickly stepped forward and saluted the Lord of the City: "I have met Lord Su!"
"Who dares to hurt the son of the city lord?" the middle-aged man asked proudly, completely ignoring the shopkeeper who was saluting next to him.
The other diners stayed far away and watched the excitement. Wu Lai and the other four did not stand up at all, but when the city lord Su asked the question, Wu Lai stood up directly and said unceremoniously: "It's me.
, so what?”
Mr. Su saw that Wu Lai ignored him and said angrily: "You are so brave. You dare to cause trouble in our Nagano City and even hurt the son of the city lord! Now that you see the city lord, you are still so arrogant and unreasonable. You are so bold."
!”
"Master Su is so powerful!" Wu Lai sarcastically said.
"They openly contradicted the city lord. Come and capture them!" Mr. Su said angrily. His guards immediately surrounded the four of Wu Lai and pointed their swords at Wu Lai and the others.
Wu Lai snorted coldly and glanced at them casually. They suddenly felt cold all over and their legs and feet were shaking, as if they were naked in the ice and snow. Wu Lai withdrew his gaze and looked at them contemptuously.
"What are you doing standing still? Let me, the city lord, take them down quickly." Mr. Su urged when he saw that the guards did not move.
When the guards heard the order, they had no choice but to rush forward.
"You are just looking for death." Wu Lai waved his hand gently, and the swords held by the guards flew into his hands involuntarily. Wu Lai shook his head and said softly: "It's just scrap metal!"
Under everyone's surprised gazes, the swords turned into iron balls in the blink of an eye. "I'll help you change the shape." Soon Wu Lai casually kneaded the iron ball into an iron rod.
Everyone was shocked, those were real swords and real spears! They could kill people, but this man's hands actually kneaded these swords into iron balls, and then straightened them into iron rods. What kind of power is this? His hands could melt gold and forge iron.
If it hits someone, wouldn't it mean death with one slap?
Mr. Su began to sweat on his head, and his back was also chilly. If he got a slap casually, wouldn't he be dead?
Looking at Wu Lai, who was approaching him step by step, Mr. Su stammered: "Ben, the lord of this city is an official of the imperial court. If you dare to touch me, you will kill everyone in your family." However, he did not have the confidence to say this at all.
, you must know that this country attaches most importance to
A master. A super master like Wu Lai is the target of the country's wooing. Even if he is killed, the emperor will not care about it. Instead, he will welcome Wu Lai as an honored guest. Of course, Wu Lai does not know this, otherwise
These people are long dead.
Wu Lai looked at him jokingly: "Why would I touch Mr. Su? I just want to keep this iron rod as a souvenir for Mr. Su." After saying that, he put the iron rod in Mr. Su's hand. Mr. Su felt this
The iron rod is still hot and a bit hot to the touch.
Mr. Su stood there in a daze, and the guards did not move. Wu Lai asked strangely: "What, Mr. Su, why don't you leave?"
Mr. Su stammered and asked: "You, you let us go?"
Wu Lai said angrily: "If you don't leave, do you still want to stay and have dinner with me? There are so many of you, and I don't have the money to treat you to dinner.
Mr. Su quickly evacuated with his guards as if he had been granted amnesty.
"Sir, how did you -" the confidant next to him asked, but was interrupted by Mr. Su: "Don't ask, the young man just now has unfathomable strength, we can't afford to offend him."
"Sir, can this be the end of it?" the confidant said unconvinced.
Mr. Su turned around and glared at him: "What else can we do? In the final analysis, it was that boy Su Chao who caused the problem." The confidant could only sigh: "There is a peerless master in our city. I really don't know where they came from.
of."
Mr. Su said helplessly: "Forget it, don't worry about it. The world is so big and strange people and strange people are everywhere." He made up his mind to teach his son a lesson after returning home. However, there was no need to teach his son a lesson.
If he was thrown upstairs, he would have to lie in bed for several days.
Of course Wu Lai listened to their conversation and just smiled without saying anything. The whole country did not take Wu Lai seriously, let alone a small city lord? He was an ant among ants.
After Mr. Su withdrew, the shopkeeper was already sweating all over his body. You must know that although the city lord is not the kind of person who likes the common people, he dotes on his son the most. How can he let go after hurting his son? Unexpectedly, this time
He was kicked against the iron plate and frightened away. It seemed that the person in front of him was unfathomable.
The shopkeeper bowed his hand to Wu Lai and said: "It turns out that you are an expert." Wu Lai smiled and said: "What is the difference between an expert and a master? He only knows some means of self-protection. By the way, what I discussed with you just now, can you think about it?"
how?"
The shopkeeper promised: "No problem, your wine is no less than our Bi Yuanchun, I won't suffer any loss in exchange." He was still hesitant just now, but after seeing Wu Lai's strength, he immediately made up his mind.
Wu Lai thought for a while and suggested: "Okay, in order to show fairness, I will teach you the brewing method first. After you brew Maotai, you can teach me the brewing method of Biyuanchun. What do you think?"
How about it?"
"Don't you think it's too much of a disadvantage?" The shopkeeper was very surprised after hearing Wu Lai's suggestion.
"It's okay, I believe you. What if you teach me first and I leave? Besides, I don't want to do business with this brewing method, but brew it for myself." Wu Lai explained with a smile.
.
The shopkeeper immediately said: "Thank you for your trust. Then I'll ask you and your companions to stay in the shop for a few days."
Wu Lai nodded and said: "That's no problem, but the accommodation and food expenses-"
The shopkeeper said generously: "Haha, you are so polite. All your purchases in the store will be free of charge."
"How can this work? You also want to do business!" Wu Lai immediately refused.
"It doesn't matter, you won't spend much."
But in the next few days, the shopkeeper felt heartbroken. He regretted what he said at the beginning. Since it was said to be free, Wu Lai and the others were naturally rude. They didn't take advantage of the bastards. Not only did they taste all the side dishes, but sometimes they even
The portion is not enough, so I want two portions. When the waiter mentioned this, the shopkeeper really wanted to slap himself.
Wu Lai began to teach the shopkeeper how to brew Moutai. The brewing method of Moutai is very complicated. It is a craft inherited from ancient times and has gone through thousands of years.
"Jinquanju Zalu" records: The method of making Maotai shochu is to use pure sorghum to make sand, steam it and mix it with wheat flour into three parts, put it in the grain cellar, steam it for months, and then brew it again, which must be brewed several times before it is ready;
At the beginning, it is called sand, and at the third and fourth rounds, it is called sui.
The six or seven rounds of sand are called Dahui Sha, and the following ones are generally called Xiaohui Sha. Finally, you can get wine to drink. The mellowness of the product and the fragrance of the gas are the result of hundreds of classics. It is not made from false yeast and spices. It is not easy to make.
, it is difficult to imitate elsewhere, so it is also called Maotai.
The pure and top-quality Moutai has the characteristics of outstanding sauce aroma, elegant and delicate, mellow and full body, long aftertaste, and long-lasting aroma in the empty cup.
At first, the natural taste of the brew made by the shopkeeper according to Wu Lai's method was not that mellow, but then it gradually became mellower, but it still needs to be stored in the cellar to make it more mellow and fragrant.
Brewing wine means that the method is correct. Wu Lai did not lie to him. Brewing good wine is also a matter of time. However, for shopkeepers who are doing business, they are doing long-term business, so waiting for a few years is no problem.
The shopkeeper did not hide his secrets and taught Wu Lai the brewing method of Bi Yuanchun. The brewing method of Bi Yuanchun is very special, completely different from the Chinese brewing method. Of course, this is natural, a different world, and a different world.
civilization.
After understanding the process and steps, Wu Lai devoted himself to understanding the brewing method. His expression was very focused, which made people feel solemn involuntarily.
Song Jia asked curiously: "Brother Wu Lai, why did you learn to make wine without any trouble?"
Wu Lai replied calmly: "Jiajia, you don't understand. What we cultivators pursue is the way of heaven. Although the way of heaven is illusory, there are traces to follow. You don't need to understand the way of heaven.
Deliberately comprehend, but start from every bit of life. Just like making wine, if I focus on it, I will gain a lot. Besides, I brew good wine for myself to enjoy, so why not
Why?"
It is Wu Lai's attempt to understand the way of heaven while making wine. After studying the divine words in the book of heaven, he found that the way of heaven is far away from him, but very close. It is in every bit of everything around him.
Bit by bit, you can feel the way of heaven more deeply.
Wu Lai's words made Han Xue half understand, but watching Wu Lai brew wine was a kind of enjoyment. Wu Lai brewed wine like a work of art, and his technique was so natural. Watching it, Han Xue's mood turned out to be...
It has increased a lot, and the shopkeeper seems to be ten years younger when he sees Wulai Brewing.
When Wu Lai finished brewing, the shopkeeper said with great admiration: "Master Wu is really a master. I seem to be younger when I see Mr. Wu brewing wine." At this moment, the shopkeeper already knew Wu Lai's surname, and Wu Lai knew that his surname was Li.
Wu Lai did not speak, and Han Xue smiled and said: "Haha, the ancients said it well, a conversation with you is worth ten years of reading! The ancients do not deceive me, I think watching Lai make wine is a kind of enjoyment, and I can live ten more years.
Eight years.”
Shopkeeper Li looked at Han Xue in astonishment and asked, "May I ask, Miss, which ancient person said this? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Han Xue couldn't answer for a while, and then she remembered that she was no longer in China, and this was not in ancient China.
Wu Lai came to her rescue and said: "Shopkeeper Li, she sometimes likes to use ancient people's words to express her words, which is more convincing. In fact, this sentence is her own creation."
Shopkeeper Li suddenly realized: "Oh, that's it." Then he bowed his hand to Han Xue and said, "Young lady is so talented and admirable."
Han Xue glanced at Wu Lai gratefully, and Wu Lai responded with a gentle look. The two looked at each other with affection, which was naturally noticed by Song Jia and He Wen.
Song Jia deliberately curled her lips and said, "Brother Wu Lai, let's see how the wine you brew goes."
"Okay, let's all have a drink and take a look." Wu Lai gave everyone a small cup.
As soon as you take in the Biyuanchun brewed by Wu Lai, you will feel a refreshing feeling flowing straight into your body, making you feel very refreshed.
"What a great wine! Even better than the Biyuanchun we brew at home!" Shopkeeper Li exclaimed in surprise after tasting the wine.
He was really shocked. According to the secret method passed down from his ancestors, he had been brewing wine for decades, but he had never brewed such a top-quality Bi Yuanchun. But after Mr. Wu understood the brewing method, he brewed it easily.
The best Bi Yuanchun.
Shopkeeper Li said with great admiration: "Master Wu, you are really a master. It is really an honor for Li Gui to meet you." How could he not admire Wu Lai's magical skills?
Wu Lai smiled modestly and said: "Shopkeeper Li, you're too polite. Anyway, we want to stay with you for a few more days. How about we help you brew some Biyuanchun. If we can brew such a wine again, it can be regarded as a reward for taking us in these days."
The kindness." But in his words, he was also quite proud!
