Chapter 692 [The hard-working Tang Da Shao Part 2]
Refined honey.
Honey is actually food stored by bees for the winter. It will solidify in individual bee cells and form a semi-solid form. Therefore, when honey is extracted, it must be refined and diluted to give the appearance of honey that everyone sees.
.
This refining and dilution process will actually cause the loss of nutrients and taste, especially royal jelly, which is the most nutritious and rarest. Refining it with this conventional method is simply a waste of natural resources.
Tang Boguang had the best royal jelly, so the honey-making masters of the Tang family developed a method of 'refining honey without water'. The top-grade Jingdezhen thin-bodied porcelain was used to make the pot, and the best pine charcoal from Daxinganling was used to make the fire.
To really test the fire control ability of honey makers, they must at least have a cultivation level of Huajing or above. Even so, the success rate is only about 80%, which will inevitably waste some precious jade bee royal jelly.
But in Zhou Yi's hands, everything became so simple.
After the honey is sucked in by the long penetrating needle, it is drawn into a golden-red-amber honey thread, and slowly flows into the original wine jar from the tail. The Tang family man in his fifties is Tang Ziqingzhengpai's father, Tang Changfeng, who has martial arts skills.
He is not among the top ten in the Tang family, but he has the ability to refine and make honey. Tang Boguang is usually most valued by Tang Boguang. When he saw the color of the honey thread, his face changed: "This is the purified Baiquan syrup."
Ah, you...how did you do that?" In his excitement, he forgot to be polite, and actually forgot that this young man was a 'senior expert' who had friends with his great-grandfather.
"Don't be rude!" Tang Boguang glared at him, his eyes a little more solemn. Although he was not good at refining honey, he could see that Zhou Yi's move was actually to penetrate the inner family's true energy into the needle wall and force the silver needle to move.
Molecular friction causes the silver needle to constantly heat up. After the jade royal jelly is sucked into the array tube, it goes through a 'refining' process from the needle head to the needle tail.
This method sounds simple. It seems that even masters of Danjin and Hunyuan who have mastered the inner family's true power can do it, but it is not the case. Tang Boguang sensed it with his mental power and knew that Zhou Yi's control was so subtle that it had reached an abnormal level.
Although this one-foot-long special 'penetrating needle' is constantly heating, the heat at different locations is not the same. It is often one temperature in this millimeter, and another temperature in the past two or three millimeters. And it is still going on.
Amidst the changes, there are thousands of 'temperature control points' that are changing at the same time on a one-foot silver needle, which is astonishing!
Some top chefs, such as Feng Qingfan, who is known as "The Fire of Nanshui Palace", claim to have unparalleled fire control skills. When using a wok, he can keep the bottom, body and rim of the wok at different temperatures at the same time.
And they are all under his control. With the same materials, the dishes he makes are the best and will be unforgettable for a lifetime. But even Feng Qingfan's fire control skills are as small as those of Zhou Yilai. It's simply
It became the level of an elementary school student.
Like Zhou Yi, a silver needle can control thousands of 'temperature control points' at the same time, making the silver needle conduct heat more evenly than Jingdezhen's special ultra-thin thin-body porcelain pot, and there is no need to use firewood to raise the fire.
How strong is the control over the inner family's true power? When a martial arts master reaches Dan Jin, his mental power is doubled. At this time, he can merge with the inner energy to form the true power, which is tangible and intangible. Control from the heart, and he can control the inner family's true power in this way.
.How much mental energy will be consumed?
Tang Boguang did not dare to try. Although he was also a Hunyuan-level expert, and in addition to martial arts, he also practiced Taoism. However, he was over a hundred years old after all. His energy and blood were gradually exhausted and his spirit was weak. Although he was weaker than ordinary people,
People are still a hundred times more tyrannical, but they never dare to imitate Zhou Yi and do this.
When the royal jelly was put into the tank, what he got was the expensive green equipment in the system, the "Drunk Liu Ling's wine tank"; after getting the fifth hive, he calculated that the ratio was almost the same, Zhou Yi held the needle in one hand and continued to absorb the jade royal jelly.
The other hand gently stroked the can of puree, then stretched out his middle finger, flicked the can body, and in the blink of an eye, he dropped his fingers a hundred times, tapping on different positions of the wine can.
Zhen Zi Jue!
As Zhou Yi dropped his finger, the wine in the jar rippled, and he was very particular about the speed, position, and strength of his finger drop, which caused the ripples to agitate each other, triggering a slight resonance; raw wine, jade honey jelly, each
The essence of growing grains and medicinal materials is perfectly fused under this resonance; this is not using frying, drying, and steaming to blend the flavors of wine, but stimulating the molecular structures of various materials to create an incomparable process.
Nature, a very perfect integration, just like the process of human evolution, is magical and in line with the laws of nature and natural science.
As soon as the prime minister and prime minister of the six countries came, all parties were subdued and integrated into one to fight against the Qin Dynasty!
Done!
An unprecedented and indescribable aroma of wine gently swelled up. The aroma of puree that made Tang Boguang salivate before was like shit compared to the aroma of wine now, and became tasteless white water.
...
"I can't stand it anymore!" Tang Boguang's old face turned red and his heart beat rapidly. He was restless. He waited eagerly for Zhou Yi to finish taking the last hive, and said angrily: "Brother Zhou, this puree has been prepared, right? Can you...
Can you let me taste it first?" Seeing that Zhou Yi didn't speak, he hurriedly said: "Don't want too much, just a small cup."
Don't talk about him, except for Liu Xu and Chang Xianggu, who among the people here is not an expert in wine making? Tang Ziliang is uneducated and has no skills, but he is also an expert in drinking. Everyone's eyes widened and their saliva almost fell to their chests.
.
"A small cup? OK..." Zhou Yi chuckled: "But this is pure puree. If Brother Tang drinks a small cup now, the three jars of sixty kilograms of wine I promised you will become
Fifty pounds..."
"Ah! Forget it then..." Tang Boguang could only swallow his saliva. This calculation is inappropriate. If you drink one drink now, you will lose ten kilograms in the future. You must endure it.
"Okay, I have taken the Jade Bee royal jelly. In half a month, Brother Tang can send someone to get the new wine. This can be regarded as my repayment of the Tang family's gift of the Jade Bee. Now Brother Tang can continue to talk, what's the matter?
You want to entrust it to me?" Zhou Yi said with a genuine smile. It's not that he was rushing to help the Tang family, but with Tang Boguang's ability and the potential power of the Tang family, there were still problems that he couldn't solve, so he had to entrust it to him, which made him very happy.
It's curiosity.
"Changfeng, please ask your cousin to come out. He is also the most important figure in the country. It is always not good to hide one's head and tail like this, not to mention Brother Zhou is not an outsider..."
"Yes. Mr. Zhou, please wait a moment."
"Haha, Mr. Zhou, we meet again."
Not long after, he saw a person coming out from behind the white wall, and followed Tang Changfeng into the rockery pavilion. After seeing the face of the person clearly, Zhou Yi was stunned: "Yeah, why didn't I think that he must have a relationship with the Tang family, otherwise Tang
Even if our family is a wealthy and reclusive family, how can we possibly get the 'Thousands of Snow Rollings'?" Zhou Yi only had the Thousands of Snow Rollings in his hands. Only Nanshui Palace bought some from him. When he first met Tang Boguang, he
I have eaten steamed buns made with this kind of flour here. Since I didn’t get it from him, it must be Nanshui Palace.
I originally thought that some of it was leaked from Nanshui Palace. It was purchased by the Tang family in some way. It was just some flour. Zhou Yi didn't bother to ask more. But when he saw this man appearing, he immediately understood everything. Isn't this Tang Bao's father? Tang Gong, who holds the highest authority in China...
"Uncle Tang..." Seeing Tang Gong, Zhou Yi hurriedly stood up. He and Tang Boguang discussed their friendship. From here on, Tang Gong became his junior; but Tang Bao was his kowtow brother. , This is different from the hierarchy of the world, no matter how big or small, and you can't mess around at all.
"Great-grandfather..." Tang Gong walked into the pavilion. The first person he met was Tang Boguang, but as soon as he bent down, he was stopped by Tang Boguang: "You are the head of a country now, but you don't need to worship me. Lord of Heaven and Earth My dear master. The word "Jun" comes before "Kiss". Tang Jiazun has restored the ancient etiquette. But I can't bear your bow."
Tang Gong was not pretentious, nodded with a smile, and sat opposite Zhou Yi: "Mr. Zhou..."
"Uncle Tang, Tang Bao and I are sworn brothers, you can't call me that." Zhou Yi said hurriedly: "You'd better call me Xiao Zhou."
"That's good. You and Bao'er are good brothers and good friends, so uncle won't be polite to you. This time, uncle has encountered a problem. I'm afraid I have to ask you to help me. You can be regarded as helping Tang Bao. The Tang family in Maple Valley."
"Is this related to Tang Bao?" Zhou Yi didn't understand. With the relationship between Tang Bao and himself, if anything happened, he should just come to him directly. Why did Tang Gong ask Tang Boguang to come forward in person? This is a miracle. Condition?
"Is it Tang Bao's marriage?"
"Oh? Brother Bao is getting married? I didn't hear him say that the last time I talked to him on the phone... But it's time to get married. Is it Miss Yu or Xiao Xi'er?" Zhou Yiyue He was more and more surprised. Tang Bao was not right. The brothers knelt on the ground one by one. He was the sixth in the ranking. How could he hide such a big thing? Then I thought about it, it might not be that simple. Otherwise, why bother? The head of the Tang family came forward to ask for help? Yes, yes, it was probably because Tang Bao had incurred too many romantic debts, and something happened between Yu Linglong and Xiao Xi'er, but I don't know who he hurt this time. Heart? The Tang family values Mr. Tang, and Mr. Tang cares about his precious son. It’s not necessarily true that he hopes that he will come forward to change things, but even so, there is no need to make it so mysterious and grand, right? This matter is extremely weird, I really can’t understand it... ..
"It's not those two girls, you also know this person, it's..."
Duke Tang smiled bitterly: "It's Duke Gu's daughter, Gu Yun."
"Gu Yun!" Now that he has advanced in cultivation, Zhou Yi almost jumped up from his seat. Are you kidding me, Tang Bao matches Gu Yun? Who is Gu Yun? She is the witch of Kyoto, a powerful elixir, Brother Bao If I fall into her clutches, will there be any life in this life? It will be darkness without light. What if a couple gets into a quarrel? If you can't beat your wife, you will have to kneel on the washboard...
Zhou Yi felt worried for Tang Bao when he thought about it, and even more sighed for Yu Linglong and Xiao Xi'er. Who is Gu Gong? He shares the party and government with Tang Gong, and jointly controls the power of China. This marriage is probably another political marriage, and he can't control it himself. The decision is made, but with Gu Yun’s domineering personality, it is estimated that she will never agree. The Tang family asked her to do this. Is it because they want her to be a matchmaker and contribute to this love tragedy? This is not possible, my buddy has it. In principle... "How is Tang Bao doing now?" Zhou Yi is worried about Tang Bao. With this kid's personality, he might do something extreme under the coercion of his family; but Don't drink sleeping pills, man...you're so worthless.
"He escaped because I usually pampered him too much. After hearing this, I left without a trace that night..." Tang Gong sighed.
"It would be weird not to run away. If it were me, I would have to run away." Zhou Yi secretly cursed. No wonder Tang Bao still said on the phone that day that he wanted to take Liuxu to Kyoto to play when he had time, but then he disappeared. Even the phone was turned off. It turned out that he was running away from his marriage.
"Mr. Tang, maybe I shouldn't say it. Don't blame me if I say too much. This is the 21st century, and you are a big shot that thousands of people look up to. Do you still want to take the lead in feudal arranged marriages and designate a wife for your son? I have also met Gu Yun, I am afraid she is not suitable for Brother Bao, right?" Zhou Yi thought for a while and said: "And it seems that I can't help much. If it doesn't work, just cancel the marriage. Gu Gong must also understand How can a person who respects etiquette still blame the Tang family for this?"
It sounds rare. Although political marriages like this have existed since ancient times and are commonplace, I have never heard of anyone doing this in modern times, and it is also a high-ranking figure like Tang Gong. Zhou Yi really can't understand it.
Mr. Tang smiled bitterly: "Xiao Zhou, do you think I don't want to quit because of that old antique from the Gu family? Even if I can afford to offend him, the Tang family in Maple Valley can't. Am I going to harm the entire family and my great-grandfather?" After saying that, he looked at Tang Boguang with very complicated eyes.
"Don't look at me. No one can offend the 'Great Immortal Guli', not me. Even the great monk Mingxing whom Zhou Yi knows is the same. Xiaohui, after you recognized your ancestor and returned to the clan, you have also seen the magic of these hidden masters. , it is not something that your 'big inner masters' can handle. The ancient monster is famous for his bad temper and unreasonableness. He is the number one person in the Taoist sect in the past two hundred years, and his comeback has made the Gu family hidden for hundreds of years. The family is also about to surface. I’m afraid that Mr. Gu is not very clear about the stakes involved!”
Tang Boguang sneered and said: "It concerns the fate of the Tang family and the face of the Gu family. Should Brother Debao and the girl from the Gu family make their own decisions? I see that you have been a high-ranking official for so many years, but the more you do it, the more you go back!"
"Great-grandfather..."
The dignified ancient Duke of China, a big man who could decide the fate of others with just one word, did not dare to disobey in front of his great-grandfather and could only nod silently.
"Mr. Tang...Brother Tang, why can't I understand what you are talking about?"
The more Zhou Yi listened, the more curious he became. Who is the number one person in the Taoist sect? What is the 'Great Immortal Guli'? Is this Journey to the West or the Romance of the Gods? He is not asleep, so why are he daydreaming? But Liu Xu and Chang Xianggu are... I heard it with great interest. I have seen Tang Gong on TV. Now sitting face to face with him, he is just an ordinary old man. It turns out that he can also worry and be scolded by his elders...
"Fate, destiny..."
Tang Boguang looked at the Book of Changes and sighed: "Since the Song Dynasty, the Yuan people massacred the Central Plains, and how many aristocratic families were destroyed in one fell swoop... Our Tang family and the ancient Huaxia family are actually great families who have been passed down for thousands of years and have cultivated and studied. The family also hid in order to avoid misfortunes and watched the rise and fall of dynasties. They gradually became tired of the way of being born in the world and becoming officials, and began to enjoy life and pursue the bliss of the great road."
"What does that have to do with Brother Bao?"
"During the time of my great ancestor, the Tang, Gu and several big families had become a family of cultivators. However, despite the emergence of capable people in each generation, they were still unable to break through the limit of life and go to the legendary Baiyujing; so great ancestors of the Tang family and the Gu family They did not hesitate to waste their essence, blood, and energy, fighting to shorten their lifespan by ten years, and jointly learned a lesson. It was predicted that three hundred years later, today in the 21st century, China will enter the age of the end of the Dharma, and practitioners will not flourish. However, under the great destruction, there will be A glimmer of hope is that in this generation, both Tang and Gu families have a side branch, which will be contaminated by the dragon energy and become the person who controls the Chinese Cauldron! After these two side branches return to the clan, the descendants should marry and have a blind date, and perhaps they can be brought together. The luck of the family allows the two families to find an opportunity to break through the natural life! Brother Zhou, you are a genius who has learned the dragon's energy through acupuncture and has experienced the spirit of a true dragon. You shouldn't doubt the prophecies of the ancestors of the two families, right?"
"Marriage... an opportunity to gather luck and break through the natural life?"
Zhou Yi couldn't help but be stunned, and said in a loss of voice: "No way? Brother Tang, do you really believe the prophecy made two or three hundred years ago? It will fall on Brother Bao'er?"
"Haha, I have been practicing for many years and I know that things in this world cannot be forced. How was Emperor Qin back then? Didn't the result be all in vain? I want to just go with the flow, but who made me unable to offend the ancestor of the Gu family? Who can
Can you imagine that he would suddenly be born after hiding in seclusion for many years?"
"Yes, Xiao Zhou, I don't want to force my son. But even Gu Gong can't help himself. His lineage is also a branch of the Gu family. Although he received help from the family in the past, since the ancestor of the Gu family retreated, the Gu family seems to have
has disappeared from this world. Who would have thought that the ancestor of the Gu family would suddenly appear and ask him to take on the responsibilities and obligations of the descendants of the Gu family? To be honest, Gu Yun... she also escaped from her marriage...
..."
"Ah? Gu Yun also ran away from marriage?" Zhou Yi was dumbfounded. Reality is really more mysterious than fiction? A big family that has been handed down for thousands of years, what kind of 'Great Immortal Gu Li' is there? Fortunately, our Zhou family is clean and has not escaped from the grave.
An ancestor jumped out of the screen to arrange my brother's marriage. Brother Bao is so miserable...
The dignified ancient Chinese Duke, Tang Gong, was actually forced by his family to arrange a feudal marriage for his son and daughter? The reasons given by Tang Boguang and Tang Gong seemed to have no flaws or flaws, but Zhou Yi always felt that something was wrong, but he chose to find it for a moment.
Without an answer, he could only say: "Brother Tang, Mr. Tang, how do you want me to help? Do you want me to persuade Tang Bao to accept this marriage? Even if I am willing to say it, Tang Bao has agreed, and Gu Yun is also dignified.
He is a master of Danjin and has a fiery temperament, can she agree?"
"She'd better not agree, then she can't blame my Tang family." Tang Boguang smiled slightly: "No matter how angry the ancient monster is, he still has to be reasonable. As long as he can't find a reason to blame my Tang family, even if it's
Brother, you have done me a big favor, and the Tang family is very grateful."
