"This man's calculations are so subtle!"

Miaoyin also started taking a long exam, and the more she looked at the chess game, the more frightened she felt in her heart. The person in front of her who she had once regarded as a killer and who frequently made unreasonable moves turned out to be a peerless master of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger!

Looking back at this moment, Zhou Yi's unreasonable moves and bad moves made up for each other and turned into excellent moves. Looking back, many of the ordinary moves at the time, The unreasonable hand actually turned into a masterful hand. Not only did it not leave any flaws that could allow her to settle the score in the future, but it actually left her with nothing to attack and could only end the game honestly!

Some moves were bad moves fifty moves ago, but now these bad moves are like sharp knives, piercing her vital points. Let alone counterattack, she can complete it safely in this situation. Thank God for the ending.

What kind of calculation is this! Miaoyin has been immersed in Go for more than ten years, so he naturally knows how much calculation is required to calculate all changes fifty steps in advance. Is there a super computer hidden in his mind?

Such computing power is no less than that of the 'Stone Buddha' who dominated the world for more than ten years and created an era, right?

Cold sweat broke out on Miaoyin's forehead. Facing such a master, could she turn around at the official stage? In the current situation, she was at least an eye and a half behind, not much more, but in a national-level competition, As long as the opponent doesn't make big mistakes during the official stage, it will be extremely difficult for her to come back.

A chess game that started out chaotically ended up being played in a delicate manner... Miaoyin really couldn't calm down anymore, her opponent's control over the chess game was really terrifying!

But until now, she had no choice but to end the game with her heart. Now the little master has some regrets. If she had known that Zhou Yi's chess skills were so good, she shouldn't have chosen the piano skills for the second game. Well, based on Zhou Yi's performance at the Kunqu opera concert that night, it would probably be harder to beat him in piano than in chess.

After entering the official stage, Miaoyin finally understood what life is worse than death...Zhou Yi had a "chaotic fight" before. Although she was always led by the nose, she still had the idea of ​​"settling accounts after the fall" in her heart. She hoped that her mood was not bad; but after entering the Guanzi War, she finally understood why the working people hated Zhou Papi and Huang Shiren. The man named Zhou was an out-and-out 'Zhou Papi'! There was a place for chess. He refuses to give an inch, and even though there seems to be no place to move, he still wants to search for it. His intricate finishing technique, which is like mercury pouring down the ground, can make the "Stone Buddha" get angry, but it just leaves you unable to find a place to counterattack.

In the one-hour final battle, Miaoyin felt that she had suffered a double blow both physically and mentally. She, who had always been proud, felt her heart was broken and she really wanted to cry! She had obviously tried her best, but the gap between the two sides was getting bigger and bigger. The bigger. Seeing that the gap of one and a half eyes was suddenly opened by Zhou Yi to three eyes, four eyes, and the gap continued to increase, such torture, even the most enlightened monks couldn't bear it? What's more, she There are still three thousand worries... Don't continue, I lose... Miaoyin gritted her teeth and took out a chess piece from the chess box and placed it on the chess board.

To surrender is to admit defeat.

Sister Miaoyin, are you just giving up?

Tang Bao couldn't believe his eyes.

Miaoyin's parents died during a certain movement when she was young, and she was adopted by Tang Bao's parents as their adopted daughter. Tang Bao grew up with this god-sister and knew her character very well.

The pride and nobility in his heart made him respect and admire her at the same time. In his memory, his sister had never bowed to anyone and admitted defeat.

In fact, even Tang Bao himself can't explain clearly what kind of feeling he feels towards Sister Miaoyin, whether it is respect or love, admiration or admiration. It seems that he feels more admiration and admiration...

Therefore, Tang Bao couldn't accept Miaoyin's defeat. Originally, he thought that even if Zhou Yi were to win, it would be in the second game. In any case, he would not be able to take any advantage in sister Miaoyin's 'home'.

But he broke his glasses.

"Mr. Zhou is indeed a real person without showing his face, and his chess skills have reached a state of perfection. Miaoyin is ashamed of himself... Miaoyin raised her head and took a deep look at Zhou Yi: "It's a pity that you are so good at chess, but you are unwilling to serve the country. Otherwise, I would

Chinese Go will definitely dominate the world chess world for at least ten years!"

"Haha, these words are really strange coming from Miss Miaoyin's mouth."

Zhou Yi smiled slightly: "Given Miss Miaoyin's chess prowess, even male chess players have a hard time dealing with it, let alone a woman. Then why doesn't the girl want to bring glory to her country?"

"I am an outsider, how can I be compared?"

Miaoyin shook her head and said: "Mr. Zhou won the first game. According to the rules we agreed on, this second game... is slow."

Zhou Yi interrupted her and said: "It's better to put the piano art competition in the third game. I'm very interested in the content of the third game that Miss Miaoyin proposed before. How about bringing it up to the second game?"

To be honest, it was difficult for him to feel sympathy for a woman with Miaoyin's personality. However, after seeing Miaoyin lose the chess game, Tang Bao looked disappointed, and felt that he should save some face for his 'good sister Miaoyin'. If

If we were to compete in piano skills now, Miaoyin would definitely continue to lose, so it would be better to see what she could come up with that was "made by her own hand and could amaze everyone".

When Zhou Yi came to Kyoto this time, he brought with him a Douxian Jinhong. Where else can there be any other treasures that can be used in competitions? But if you really want to beat her, just having egg fried rice can also seal the victory. Now since

The victory has been sealed. If what Miaoyin comes up with is really good, it doesn't matter if he messes up a bit in this round. That way Tang Bao's face will look better.

"Mr. Zhou, are you afraid that I will lose two games in a row and lose face?"

Miaoyin frowned slightly and looked at Zhou Yi with some displeasure.

"That's not true. Since I've determined to win you, isn't it the same as winning early and winning later?"

Zhou Yi chuckled and spared no effort in attacking this proud little peacock: "Actually, I was afraid that Miss Miaoyin would lose. If I refused to share the good things with everyone, wouldn't I be a sinner?"

"Okay, let me accept you as a favor... Miaoyin gave a rare toothy smile: "Actually, the thing I prepared to use for the competition has been sent to the kitchen, and it is a jar of 'Hundred Flower Honey Wine'."

"Flower mead?"

Zhou Yi was slightly startled. Ever since he turned himself into the current 'Bacchus' with a ninth-level magical thing, many secret brewing recipes naturally emerged in his mind, among which the 'Hundred Flower Honey Wine' was one of them.

"Take the essence of hundreds of flowers, combine the two qi of yin and yang, the spirit of the lower part, and the essence of the five grains. This is how you get this wine."

This kind of honey is brewed in summer and stored in winter. The most difficult part is the fermentation process. Even Zhou Yi was too lazy to do it. Who would have thought that this little mistress would be so leisurely and relaxed?

Are they really like-minded? Before even testing his piano skills, Zhou Yi already felt like he had met a close friend, because if this wine wasn't the best in the world, he wouldn't be tempted to do anything, eat and wait to die.

Brewing, even he felt it was too time-consuming and too extravagant... Sister, have you really brewed the nectar? Haha, I miss you so much, so what are you waiting for, Xi'er, hurry up and bring it to me!"

Tang Bao glanced at Zhou Yi excitedly: "Brother Zhou, you will be convinced that you lost this time. I'm not bragging, but Sister Miaoyin's Baihua Nectar is amazing. If you have money, you won't be able to buy it. This time.

You are in luck."

"Haha, of course. If it's pure honey, regardless of how it tastes, I'll be convinced just by the intention."

Zhou Yi laughed heartily and felt very pleased that he could drink the most troublesome wine in the world. At the same time, he was also a little lucky. If he hadn't proposed this competition first, with Miaoyin's character, he probably wouldn't have done it after losing two games in a row.

If this wine is taken out, the loss will be too great.

It didn't take long for a Tang family helper to bring up the Baihua wine. The wine was put in a yellow glazed wine pot, with a glazed burning plate of the same color underneath, with two pieces of alcohol burning inside.

Under the blue flames of cooking, the aroma of wine comes to your face. It is not an intoxicating aroma, nor is it spicy like Lao Gan Shao, but a fragrance of flowers, warm and warm, which makes people feel happy after just one sip.

It feels like it's spring, with flowers blooming outside and the fragrance filling the air.

Zhou Yi took a sip lightly and nodded slightly. Miaoyin deserves to be called a talented woman. I don’t know if the Buddhist teachings are profound, but her wine-making skills are really top-notch. I just don’t know who she makes wine for. Those who knock jade from the mountains.

Pan, the literati who nudges Yuexiamen?

A beautiful mountain with a temple with colorful names. There is a beautiful little nun in the temple who makes good wine. This is so fascinating...

The wealth of the Tang family is reflected in every detail. Matching this set of drinking utensils is a set of yellow glazed cups. The material of the cup itself is not valuable, but the beauty lies in the firing craftsmanship and the inner painting in the cup.

Above, after the light green wine is poured in, these four-season flowers carved with special techniques will appear in many scenes as the wine fluctuates. For a moment, it will be difficult to tell whether the wine is in the cup.

The glass is still on the wine.

Tang Bao and Xi'er couldn't wait for a long time. They took the wine glass and sipped the beautiful and fragrant wine in small sips. They looked very cautious, as if they were afraid of accidentally spilling it.

It seemed like a few drops. After the wine entered his mouth, he immediately pursed his mouth, his cheeks trembled slightly, and a very slight and continuous swallowing sound came from his throat.

No one was willing to swallow the wine directly, they were all savoring it carefully, just like appreciating the greatest work of art.

"Mr. Zhou, from what you just said, it seems that you also know a lot about wine making. Can you please give it a taste?"

Miaoyin looked at Zhou Yi seriously. She was really impressed by Zhou Yi's chess skills, but this did not dampen her spirits. Seeing that Zhou Yi just spoke like a wine master, she couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied and wanted to Say goodbye to him.

"Okay, then I won't be polite... Zhou Yi didn't let the helper pour the wine, but picked up the wine bottle and poured himself a glass.

Seeing the way he poured wine, Miaoyin's heart moved again: "He is indeed an expert. Is it true that the capable can do anything?"

The so-called "pour shallowly and drink slowly". When pouring wine, the ancient wine masters would use a flask with a small mouth to pull out a two-meter-long wine line. This was to allow the wine to fully contact with the air and evaporate the unique fragrance. ; In modern times, some people like to shake the glass when drinking red wine, which is actually the same reason. Of course, there are also people who don’t know how to pretend to shake the glass, which is called arty.

When Zhou Yi poured the wine just now, although he did not stand up and throw out the wine string intentionally, he relied on the power of his wrist to raise the wine string into the air, circled in the air before falling back into the wine glass. If he calculated the length of the wine string, I'm afraid It's already three meters tall.

Miaoyin has seen quite a few wine masters and drunkards, and of course she recognizes this as the ‘Crane Raising His Head’ in the art of wine. But this is the first time she has seen someone who can play to the level of Zhou Yi.

"The wine you made is quite good... Zhou Yi took a sip lightly and put down the wine glass. He seemed to have no intention of taking a second sip: "Well... such fine Baihua Nectar, although Not getting a perfect score is rare; if you compete with it, it really gives me a headache."

"Can't get full marks?"

A flush of red flashed across Miaoyin's fair face. Although it passed away in an instant, it was still seen by Tang Bao. The guy immediately started to complain: "Brother Zhou, don't tell me that. Sister Miaoyin's wine can't get full marks." ?Can you make sense?"

"Although this honey of flowers uses the best sorghum, barley, wheat, rice and glutinous rice, it is not used as the main ingredient. It is just used as a wine-like substance to make the wine more mellow. "The real main ingredient is brewed from one hundred and eight kinds of nectar from the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, right?" Zhou Yi glanced at Miaoyin and said with a smile.

"good."

Miaoyin nodded. But she didn't say much, because what Zhou Yi said was just common sense, not the real secret of brewing Baihua Nectar.

"Haha, that's right... Zhou Yi picked up the wine glass and said: "But ready-made distiller's yeast cannot be used when brewing this wine. The grains are pressed by the nectar, and it is impossible to ferment. So it needs to be fermented into wine. You also have to rely on some fruits; it is best to be pure natural green food, not the kind that is stimulated by hormones, otherwise the taste will not be pure... If I am not wrong, in order to find these fruits, Miss Miaoyin must You've traveled a lot, right? Because you have to buy it now and use it now, and everything brought by the train will lose its original flavor... You actually really know?"

Miaoyin looked at Zhou Yi with admiration in her eyes at this moment. She had always believed in her talent and regarded all men in the world like chickens and dogs. Even she was aloof from Tang Bao, only treating him as an ignorant younger brother; But Zhou Yi shocked her again and again today. How many mysteries did this man hide in his chest?

"Miss Miaoyin has put in a lot of effort, and in terms of the brewing technique, there's nothing wrong with it, so this wine is pretty good...Brother Zhou, aren't you right? Since the materials used to make the wine are fine. , there’s nothing wrong with Sister Miaoyin’s technique, so why can’t she still get a perfect score?”

Before Zhou Yi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Tang Bao. The more he listened, the more unconvinced he became. He had to find fault with such a good wine. Brother Zhou, can't you be a troll?

"Brother Bao, let Mr. Zhou finish!"

Miaoyin glared at Tang Bao, looked at Zhou Yida and said: "Please give me Mr. Zhou's advice... This woman can be taught...

Zhou Yi is very satisfied with Miaoyin's performance. Although her temperament is a little arrogant and she easily looks down on others, once she determines that you have real talent and learning, she immediately humbly asks for advice. Compared with those women who are gentle on the outside and queen on the inside, they are much better.

How many times.

"The materials used by Miss Miaoyin are actually not without problems... When meeting such a studious and beautiful student, Zhou Yi is willing to say a few more words: "There is no problem with the one hundred and eight kinds of four-season nectar, the problem lies in the use of it.

On fermented fruits. Not only should these fruits be green, they should also correspond to the 108 kinds of nectar. For example, pear blossoms should correspond to wild pears. If they are peach blossoms in the temperate zone of the south, they should correspond to the peaches produced locally.

, but in Miss Miaoyin’s hundred flower nectar, there are at least fifteen kinds of fruits that cannot correspond to the nectar, so no matter how clever your brewing technique is, it will destroy the taste of the finished wine... Oh my God, Brother Zhou, aren’t you? Even there are

How many kinds of fruits can you taste?" Tang Bao was confused when he heard this, but he admired Zhou Yi even more.

"Mr. Zhou, if I make the flowers and fruits match each other, can I make the best wine?" Miaoyin listened very seriously. She only regretted that she didn't bring a notebook and pen to record Zhou Yi's words.

"Haha, in addition to flowers and fruits, we also need to pay attention to the quality of the water used in brewing. The water you used is pretty good, but it's still a little bit worse... People all have the problem of 'becoming a teacher'. I don't think Zhou Yi said too much.

, suddenly my heart skipped a beat, no! If she asks where the water is good, then of course the water in Baiquan Valley is good. Should I answer it or not? I quickly changed the topic and said: "Actually, the truly exquisite Baihua Honey is not

What humans can make is the monkeys in the mountains. They collect the nectar of the four seasons and various wild fruits corresponding to the nectar, and use the dry pools in the mountains as vats to brew this wine, so this wine is also called 'monkey wine'.

"Erjiu', this is absolutely true, it's not a fantasy novel, right?"
