A sudden thought occurred in Xu Ping's heart: "Young Master, this, I..."
Although Qin Zhan was temporarily in charge of the winery, Qin Zheng was the actual owner of the winery. How could he have expected that he would be exposed all of a sudden and was speechless?
It took him a long time before he said: "Young Master, I admit that I do have selfish motives, but I stand with the interests of the winery. If I launch a new wine rashly, even if it is a temporary success, in the long run, the gains outweigh the losses."
Less, two months. As long as you give me another two months, I guarantee you that the batch of wine I brew will definitely make Jiuqitai famous."
Xu Ping's words made sense. Qin Zheng nodded: "You're right, I can afford to wait for two months."
Xu Ping was overjoyed: "Young Master, do you agree?"
"I agree, of course I agree." Qin Zheng chuckled, "However, Lao Xu, I am not here to brew new wine for you. I have a wine recipe in my hand. You can prepare it. I need to brew it in the shortest possible time."
Xu Ping just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Qin Zheng say these words, "Wine recipe, brew new wine?"
"Master, are you saying that you plan to use the wine brewed from the recipe in your hand to promote it?" Not to mention that even if new wine is brewed, it needs a certain period of aging before it can be drunk. The quality alone is questionable.
The batch of wine Xu Ping is brewing now is based on his more than ten years of experience in the Duntai wine industry and his research on ancient recipes. The semi-finished products in the winery are indeed not drinkable, but he had already made a small amount of them before.
He brewed some wine and it tasted very good, which can be said to be on par with the quality of Duntai wine. This is why he had the confidence to make Duntai Group regret it after launching it.
But now, Qin Zheng actually planned to brew a new wine based on a recipe he didn't know where he got it from, and Xu Ping was a little stunned.
Looking at his suspicious eyes, Qin Zheng didn't care. The fine wine in Chaotian Palace was fairy wine, and it was not comparable to the fine wines in the human world. He smiled and took out a piece of paper from the table, and filled the wine recipe with a few swipes.
I wrote it out, "Lao Xu, you can take a look at the wine recipe first."
There are not many raw materials required for the wine recipe. Xu Ping read it all at a glance and muttered: "Young Master, the ingredients used in this recipe are very precious, but winemaking is not a tonic. A wine must ensure the uniqueness of the raw materials.
What’s more important is the taste.”
In fact, the raw materials on Qin Zheng's wine recipe are not only precious, they can be described as rare. Think about it, since it is an immortal wine, the only people who drink it are the immortal families in the ancient world.
These great powers have never eaten or drank anything, and their mouths have already become cunning. The wine brewed with ordinary raw materials is simply unpalatable, so Chaotian Palace's fairy brew is brewed from various essences of heaven and earth.
, not only tastes great, but more importantly, it is good for their practice.
Xu Ping only pointed out the problem of the combination of raw materials on the wine recipe, but Qin Zheng immediately thought of the source of the raw materials. This is the human world, where can you find those precious raw materials? Even if there are, there won't be many.
"This is because I didn't think carefully. In this way, Lao Xu, if the raw materials are not available, we can lower the specifications and replace them with something of slightly lower quality." After thinking about it, Qin Zhengdao, "For example, this rootless water,
I definitely can’t find that much, so I’ll use water from the Qingshui River instead, and this flower dew. I’m sure I won’t be able to get it all in a short time, so it doesn’t matter if it’s less.”
He didn't say it was okay. The more he talked, the more Xu Ping opened his mouth. He was sure that Qin Zheng had messed up. Winemaking was not a house game. Which wine recipe was not matched after rigorous testing. And look.
None of the raw materials above are easy to get. If he really wants to brew according to these, he must be tonic wine.
Although tonic wine is also wine, there are fundamental differences between the two. One is a health product and the other is a drink, and they are aimed at completely different groups.
"Young Master, although it will take some time for this batch of wine I brewed to leave the factory, you can rest assured in terms of quality. I assure you, it will definitely not be inferior to any other wine on the market." Xu Ping considered his words.
, the reason why he jumped to Jiuqitai
This small workshop-style winery is just for his own new wine. If Qin Zheng plans to change the winery into a health product winery, Xu Ping will have no choice but to change his career. But he is a winemaker. What does it mean to change his career to brew health products?
Well, I really don’t want to do it.
"Young Master, as long as you give me a little more time, I am confident that the winery will occupy its own place in the wine market."
Although Xu Ping said it tactfully, his meaning was very clear. In the final analysis, he just didn’t believe in his own recipe for making wine. But on the contrary, Qin Zheng was full of confidence in it. This was a magical brew, even if it was limited by the quality of the raw materials.
The finished product will be a little worse, but no matter how bad it is, it cannot be compared to other wines on the market.
He smiled: "Lao Xu, you just said that the quality of a wine is determined by its taste, so let's speak with facts. You can brew a batch of wine according to the recipe I gave you. I know how to make wine.
The process is very complicated, but my batch of wine does not need to be settled. It can be drank directly as soon as it is brewed. How about you take a look at the finished product and make a final decision?"
This is the advantage of privately owned enterprises. Everything is decided by the boss. Qin Zheng said so. Even if Xu Ping still doesn't believe it, he can only do it according to his wishes, otherwise he can only leave and nod: "
Well, sir, I will prepare the raw materials now to brew new wine."
Seeing Xu Ping reluctantly walking out, Qin Zhan couldn't help but ask: "Brother, your wine recipe is really that good. Where did you get the wine recipe?"
Qin Zhan always felt that his brother had been very strange since he woke up from a car accident last time. Not to mention the change in his surname, when he heard Qianqian say that a big fish had a brain stone, he had to travel all the way to see it.
, and now he has come up with some kind of wine recipe. He knows his circle very well, where he comes into contact with such people.
"Why, you don't believe me either." Qin Zheng smiled, "Brother, I know you usually like to drink. I will let you try this batch of wine when it comes out. If you think it's not good, let me
If you lose, I will owe you a condition from now on."
The Qin family is a business family, and Chinese people always like to discuss business at the wine table, but Qin Zheng was not in good health since he was a child. Qin's father could only train his youngest son as his successor, and took Qin with him when he was very young.
Zhan meets the world at the wine table. It can be said that Qin Zhan is a big drinker. He has a good drinker and loves to drink.
Now when he heard that there was not only wine to drink, but also a condition that brother agreed to, Qin Zhan disagreed and nodded quickly: "Okay, brother, then I will wait for this batch of wine to come out, haha." Even if he loses in the end.
Yes, but being able to taste a fine wine is also a big temptation for Qin Zhan.
After leaving Jiuqitai Winery, Qin Zheng asked Qin Zhan to take him to the vicinity of Qingyang Palace. After getting out of the car, Qin Zheng walked slowly among the crowd.
Qingyang Palace is the first Taoist temple in Xichuan. It started in the Zhou Dynasty. It was first named Qingyangsi. It was renamed several times. It was only named Qingyang Temple in the Five Dynasties. It was renamed Qingyang Palace in the Song Dynasty and is still in use today.
There are ancient buildings in the Taoist temple such as the Hunyuan Hall and the Octagonal Pavilion Sanqing Hall. However, these buildings were restored one after another in the early years of this dynasty. The original ancient buildings were almost destroyed due to military disasters in the Ming Dynasty.
Qingyang Palace occupies a very large area, with a majestic mountain gate. The main hall, Sanqing Hall, enshrines the statue of the Taoist Supreme Sanqing, which is the object of worship for countless good men and women.
When he was in Linglong Pagoda, one of the Three Pure Ones, Taishang Laojun, could be said to be his leader in spiritual practice. Since he was passing by, Qin Zheng had to pay homage to him. Following the flow of people into the Sanqing Hall, Qin Zheng bowed down on the futon and bowed respectfully.
He kowtowed nine times to the statue of Sanqing God respectfully.
Most people only kowtow three times before standing up, but Qin Zheng kowtowed nine times, which immediately attracted the attention of an old Taoist priest standing behind him. When he stood up, he nodded slightly.
Qin Zheng also smiled at the old Taoist priest, but didn't say much. Although Qingyang Palace is a famous Taoist place, looking at the old Taoist priest's cloudy eyes, it was obvious that he had not inherited the authentic Taoist practice.
After leaving Qingyang Palace, Qin Zheng went to Qingyang Street outside. Nowadays, Qingyang Palace is not only a Taoist holy land, but also a famous tourist attraction. There are countless vendors on Qingyang Street outside, buying and selling tourist souvenirs and some Taoist-related things.
And so on.
Qin Zheng planned to refine Qi Dan. Although an ordinary small copper tripod could meet his requirements, he still wanted to see if he could find a better one. Refining alchemy requires more than just putting the materials inside.
, techniques and heat all have strict requirements. In addition, the equipment for alchemy is equally important. A good cauldron plays a very good role in improving the quality of the elixir.
As Qin Zheng knows, the Bagua furnace used by Laojun himself to make alchemy is a top-notch alchemy magic weapon.
In the seventh chapter of Journey to the West, Taishang Laojun caught Sun Monkey and threw it into the Bagua furnace for refining. Not only did the monkey not be refined, but Sun Wukong was given an indestructible body of copper skin, iron bones, and a pair of fiery eyes.
The monsters have no way to hide in front of the monkeys. Not only that, most of the top magic weapons produced in the entire Journey to the West were refined in Laojun's Bagua furnace. It can be seen that a Bagua furnace has the power to conquer the heaven and earth.
Fuwa used the Bagua Furnace at that time. Unfortunately, now that he has left the prehistoric world, he can only drool over the Bagua Furnace Qin Zheng. Of course, without the Bagua Furnace, the elixir still has to be refined, and in the human world,
Want to find a replacement for the Bagua stove?
Impossible, it's just that Qin Zheng still wants to try his luck. Even if he doesn't have a high-quality furnace, it's good to buy one of some quality. Qingyang Palace is a Taoist holy land, and there might be Taoist priests left over from the previous dynasty nearby to make alchemy.
alchemy furnace.
This thing is similar to picking up leaks in treasure appraisal. Qin Zheng is walking around Qingyang Street. There are alchemy furnaces in the stalls. Each one has extraordinary appearance and workmanship, and has an ancient charm. If you stop, the vendor will even talk to you.
It’s not a simple story to tell. After all, Taoism has always been famous for its alchemy.
But after listening to a few words, Qin Zheng shook his head and left. The hawker said what he said was ridiculous, but he was not a fool. If he really wanted to do what he said, he was left by some ancient emperor, Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, not to mention how he ended up living in your place.
In my hand, just from the material, I can tell that it is a modern imitation, and the lions have their mouths wide open. This is not to treat people like sheep.
After walking around for an hour, Qin Zheng became more and more disappointed. Thinking about it, even an alchemy furnace left by the previous dynasty was an antique. How could it appear in such a stall? He shook his head and was about to leave.
As he turned his head, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a small tripod.
