Chapter 515: Light as Spring Breeze and Thick as Wine
The two old men were quite happy to be able to popularize Xu Guangling's knowledge.
This disciple was so evil that he actually became their teacher in the blink of an eye. Although there was nothing shameful about it, and it was the greatest pride of the two old men to teach such a disciple, but despite their pride, they still
There was a little bit of frustration.
Fortunately, this little grandmaster is very young after all. He doesn't have the time and energy to dabble in miscellaneous subjects, and this is what the two old people are good at.
It’s not easy to experience what it’s like to be a teacher again!
Every little bit is worth remembering.
Therefore, the two old men chatted enthusiastically and gave full play to their "personal library" expertise, describing and displaying fragments of Xu Guangling's life in the past years.
Speaking of a personal library is actually not appropriate.
Opening up their top skills not only brought the two old people a photographic memory and extensive reading, but also allowed them to reach the pinnacle of their respective professions, and then, as a generation leader, overlook other categories of knowledge.
And this point cannot be compared with anything like a library.
With them, knowledge slowly fermented bit by bit through expertise and years, and then turned from rice into wine.
Let's put it this way, if Xu Guangling looked for a book to read tonight, or many previous conversations, he would be able to read a lot of the contents of those conversations, but what he could see was only "rice grain", and with the two
The old man was talking, but he seemed to be drinking.
This wine is both light and mellow. When you drink it, you feel it is light, but after you drink it, what you taste is mellow.
It is true that wine does not intoxicate people, people become intoxicated themselves.
And this is the "edification" that Xu Guangling has always received.
Without those bizarre dreams, without the "Qinghua Precious Seal Script", this kind of influence would undoubtedly be the first level in the world. And even with Qingguang's encounter, this influence would only drop slightly, down to the second level.
But it's still among the best.
However, thinking about edification and wine, Xu Guangling also decided to brew some real wine.
It wouldn't be liquor, let alone some Shaoqiu. It was the favorite of drunkards, but it was not suitable for the three of them, especially the two old people.
Xu Guangling’s entry point is rice wine and wine.
In fact, he came into contact with rice wine after he met Dasha and Jiagongzi. They recommended him a delicacy from his hometown, "sweet white wine". The special thing about sweet white wine is that it is both wine and rice. It is both a drink and a food.
Food.
At first, after tasting a bowl of sweet white wine at a teahouse that was said to have been in business for more than two hundred years, Xu Guangling could only say that this delicacy was worthy of being dreamed of by so many people.
Well, Jiagongziyu.
It's easy to say you don't love it, but once you fall in love with it, it will be difficult to let go.
At first, Xu Guangling fell in love with her at first sight, but later on, they did not stay together forever.
Because this thing not only tests the raw materials, but also tests the craftsmanship. There is a huge difference between the top grade and the bottom grade. Later, Xu Guangling tasted a lot of sweet white wine and rice wine in other places and through other channels, but he was greatly disappointed.
.
It was too amazing at first, but later it became difficult to accept other dullness.
But now, he has the conditions to create that amazing thing with his own hands. Although, before reaching the amazing thing, more or less bad and mediocre things are definitely inevitable.
Wine can be classified as fruit wine.
Grapes are good, and so are many other fruits. Not to mention the "purple and green swords" of dragon fruit and kiwi, many other fruits are also good at it, at least in terms of texture and taste, especially
Yes, if wine is brewed, it must have its own flavor.
There are many, many categories that you can try. Anyway, making one type of wine is called making wine, and making dozens or hundreds of kinds of wine is called making wine.
On the contrary, the more you brew, the better you can accumulate experience.
Thinking of fruits, Xu Guangling thought of dried fruits. Well, what he specifically thought of here was ginseng.
Ginseng, sweet potato and yam vermicelli are the first food that Xu Guangling has come into contact with that can be classified as "extraordinary". However, among the food and medicine, it is more of a food. From Xu Guangling's current perspective, he no longer thinks much of it.
It catches the eye.
It's not that it's bad, it's that it can be better.
Taking ginseng as an example, it is not very good to eat it, nor is it suitable to drink it by soaking it in water, soaking it in wine, or making "ginseng paste".
Xu Guangling is now thinking about how to use the ginseng that was previously found underground in Changbai Mountain, ranging from hundreds to thousands of years ago. Can ginseng be used to make wine?
Instead of brewing wine, it is brewed directly using ginseng as raw material.
This still requires some careful research. Even if it is possible, at least the ingredients and strains will need a lot of thought.
When the topic turned to wine, the two old men dragged Xu Guangling into the ancient world of wine, starting with "Green Ant New Fermented Wine", and then moved from wine to tea, starting from Lu Yu's "Tea Classic".
We talked about tea, water, and tea sets.
Xu Guangling had no say in tea. The tea he drank in Zhang Lao's small building was the best tea he had ever tasted in his life. Before that, he was a complete layman in this field.
As for water, Xu Guangling can still chat with the two old people.
For example, well water, tap water, purified water, mineral water, or boiling snow into water in the records, etc. Xu Guangling can still express some opinions that will give the two old men some insights.
When it comes to tea sets, Xu Guangling has more say.
Because of a dream he once had, and in that dream, he "experienced" the identity of a pottery maker...
The three of them were chatting in a lively manner. Xu Guangling was certainly as refreshed as a spring breeze or drinking fine wine, but the two old men also felt novel and open-minded from time to time when facing the disciples who were already great masters.
Therefore, the quality of this conversation is actually more than one level higher than those in the past.
However, after all, we have a long time to come. After the topic of tea came to an end, Xu Guangling took the initiative to end the conversation tonight. From now on, the three of us can have such a conversation every day.
You can start with any topic and end with any topic.
But judging from the situation, the accumulation of the two old people is more than enough, but his accumulation is still very insufficient.
You can't always rely on the height of a great master to make up for your lack of knowledge. This is okay in the short term, but it will definitely be unbearable in the long run. So the next period of time will also be a period of studying?
What books do you read?
The books of sages are the first choice, and the Taoist, Buddhist, and other books are the second choice.
In addition, considering that the two old men were involved in ancient China, Xu Guangling also listed ancient Chinese history and culture as his third choice. With these three, it is estimated that it will be enough to interest him for a long time.
Yes.
