Regardless of their identities, Yang Ping and Cai Zifeng "represented" the two families and faced off outside Bearded's wine shop. Suddenly, a storm broke out!
In the wine shop, many drinkers were ready to watch this wonderful show, and Fang Lian, who heard the commotion, was very alert and ready to watch, while muttering to himself: "Isn't it said that there can't be friction before the wine evaluation competition?
Are they not afraid of punishment?"
The bearded man next to him drank a bowl of wine and said with some profound meaning: "Since they are members of the family, it is impossible not to know this. They all came here under the orders of the family elders."
"Order? No, how could you tell?"
"You can see that they all look like they want to take action, without any fear. The family elders asked them to come... probably because they want to see if they can find out the opponent's strength level before the wine tasting competition."
The bearded man raised his beard slightly and raised his square face to look at the lofts above the two higher wine houses. In both cases, there was a man in black robe looking at the two people confronting each other on the street.
The onlookers are all waiting for the fight between the two. Of course, the fight in the wine city is not a real fight, but a fight over wine!
In the crowd, a childish voice suddenly came to mind.
"Oh, uncle, please give in. My little body can't stand your squeeze."
The child who finally squeezed into the crowd turned out to be a boy wearing tattered clothes, no shoes, and holding a small stool!
Regardless of everyone's attention, the boy directly placed the small stool on the ground, sat down on his butt, and began to watch the two fighting in the middle like a well-behaved theatergoer.
Most of the crowd were attracted by Cai Zifeng and Yang Ping again. They no longer looked at the boy, but the bearded man in the crowd looked at the boy's back and let out a light sigh, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this time, Cai Zifeng in the crowd spoke: "What? Are you going to do something?"
Before Yang Ping could say anything, the boy sitting on the bench spoke first: "What are you doing? If we're going to compete in wine-making, why do two grown men have to keep grinding away!"
The boy's words made everyone around him laugh. Yang Ping didn't know where this boy came from. He glared at the boy and snorted: "Okay, Cai Zifeng, your grandpa, I will compete with you in winemaking today."
.How about it, do you want to fight?"
With so many people around, wouldn't it be a loss of face to be timid? Besides, he was asked to come here by his elders, so what should he be afraid of? Then Cai Zifeng pouted and said shamelessly: "I'm still afraid of you? Just come!"
The two of them turned their heads and stared directly at Big Beard's wine shop. They went in to get the table and the wine ingredients without asking Big Beard's intention at all.
The square-faced man frowned and was about to stop the two of them for their rude behavior. However, he was stopped by the bearded man, who asked him to watch the battle quietly.
It didn't take long for the two of them to set up a corresponding array on the street, a medium-sized wooden table, with many wine materials and wine-making vessels placed on the table, and the preparations were completed.
The spectators around them looked at the two men with fascination, waiting for them to show off their respective families' brewing skills.
"Most of the wine ingredients they prepare are the same, there is no difference."
"It seems they are going to make the same wine."
"It can't be monkey wine!"
…
At this time, the skills of the two people standing opposite each other had begun to show. The overturned wine-making vessels were swinging in front of their bodies. Each of them put the wine ingredients into the wine-making vessels according to the family's unique order.
As the hand shadows transformed and flashed, the step of collecting materials was basically completed. The square-faced person in the crowd asked softly: "Big Beard, how do you think their brewing skills compare to yours?"
"Although these two people have many tricks in their hands, if you observe carefully, you can still tell whether their techniques are good or not. The key now is what the core wine ingredients they use are."
Big Beard did not directly say how he compared with the two, but then said: "The difference between me and the two of them is the difference in the core wine ingredients, you see."
Then the bearded man turned his head and looked at the boy sitting on the bench, not looking at the two people on the court.
At this time, the arena was already heating up. The first person to make a move was Cai Zifeng. He took out a small jade bottle from his pocket, removed the stopper and poured an unknown liquid into the wine vessel.
Seeing Cai Zifeng's actions, Yang Ping, not to be outdone, also took out a medium-sized gourd from his pocket, and then sprayed some red powder into his wine-making vessel.
This action of the two people was naturally seen by everyone around them, and everyone was discussing the origin of the two items.
"I see that after ten years, the two companies have made changes to their unique secret recipe, but I don't know how effective it is!"
"Yes, I think both families are working hard to develop real monkey wine this time!"
"It's better for the Liu family to remain neutral."
…
After the last step of brewing by the two of them, two slightly different strong aromas of wine began to linger among the crowd, refreshing their hearts and minds, and suddenly an ordinary street turned into a fairyland on earth.
Just as the two were about to put away the medicinal materials they had brought with them, a sudden gust of wind swept over them for no reason. The streets were filled with dust and the wind howled, causing onlookers to hide their eyes.
"What's going on? Suddenly there's a demonic wind!"
"Ouch, there's sand in my eyes!"
"You stepped on my foot..."
…
Gradually, the sudden "demon wind" stopped. When everyone saw that the two tables that were thought to be in chaos were peacefully in place, there seemed to be no change.
But not long after, Cai Zifeng and Yang Ping shouted out almost at the same time: "Who is it!"
Before everyone knew what was going on, someone outside the crowd said, "Let them come out!"
It turned out that the elders of the two families came in person, asked the servants to take away the brewed wine, and then led the two of them away, while Cai Zifeng and Yang Ping kept arguing about who was who.
Someone in the crowd finally discovered that the exclusive secret recipe of the two people was missing, and now everyone understood what the two people just meant.
The wine disappeared mysteriously after the strong wind. Could it be the fault of another family, the Liu family?
After all, he was an outsider, and he didn't bother to discuss it any further. The onlookers dispersed in a hurry.
The bearded man who returned to the winery looked for the boy among the scattered people on the street. Unexpectedly, he disappeared. He said to the square face: "The wine tasting competition will be in four days. It's time for us wineries to show their faces."
, I need to prepare, but I can only serve poorly."
"It's okay, it's okay. Anyway, you are well prepared now, so I can have a full meal that day! Haha..."
Watching Fang Lian leave, Big Beard saw off the few drinkers in the wine shop and then closed the shop and called it a day.
"That boy's feeling... seems to have been seen before...".)
