The two little minions listened for a long time and were speechless: "My dear! There is such a thing!"
Liu Jishou and Liu Neng were stunned when they saw him: "We usually say that the second master is a hero, fighting tigers with bare hands, but I didn't expect that only after meeting today did I realize the second master's magical power!"
Xiao Tianqing said with envy: "If I can practice to this point one day, even if I am not as good as the teacher, it will be okay!"
"Practice diligently, and one day will come naturally." Wu Song looked at Xiao Tianqing with a very serious look in his eyes: "You are not very talented, but there is nothing more than seriousness in the world. Diligence can make up for weakness, and you can do it too!"
Xiao Tianqing turned over after hearing this and thanked Wu Song for his advice. When Ximen Qing called for everyone to come forward and take a look, they saw that the entrance of the cave was dark and cool air was coming out of it.
"The entrance of this cave is a little small, and it is a little inconvenient to get in and out." Liu Jishou looked at the entrance of the cave and said, "I don't know which dynasty it was passed down?"
Ximen Qing touched the ground and said: "It's hard to say which dynasty it belongs to, but it's not that the entrance of the cave is small, but that the dust has covered the original entrance of the cave over time. It is estimated that there were about one person at the height, so getting in and out is not a problem."
After hearing this, everyone looked at the ground. Wu Song tried it with a steel knife, and sure enough, it was filled with dirt instead of hard stone. As Ximen Qing said, it was due to the passage of time that the dust gradually covered it up.
"My master's knowledge is extraordinary." Xiao Tianqing praised: "If I hadn't reminded you, I really wouldn't have noticed."
Yan Qing said "Hey" on the side, not knowing what he found. He stepped forward and touched the top of the cave door twice: "It seems that there are some words engraved on it, but it has become flat over time."
Ximen Qing looked carefully and saw that there were some faint marks. He asked Wu Song to clear away the vines above. It seemed that three characters were engraved on it, but it was too old to see clearly.
Yan Qing looked at it carefully: "The first character on the right is weathered and can't be seen clearly. Half of the character in the middle seems to be the character "王", and the characters on the left are intermittently incomprehensible."
"It's not Wang, it's a jade character." Lu Jishou seemed to have thought of something, and even his beard trembled with excitement: "There is a treasure character in the middle!"
Ximen Qing was wondering why Liu Jishou was so excited, and Liu Neng suddenly realized: "Father, could it be Tianbao Cave? That Tianbao Cave?"
"That's right, it's the Tianbao Cave." Liu Jishou started to tremble all over, and pulled Ximen Qing to explain: "My boss, this Tianbao Cave has been circulating in the brewing industry for who knows how long. It has always been a legend until it came here.
I didn’t expect to be able to stand at the door of Tianbao Cave in my lifetime, little old man, this life is worth it!”
Sounds like a winemaking mecca?
Can't be such a coincidence?
Ximen Qing's heart beat wildly, he was so lucky?
"Let's go in and take a look!"
"Master, please wait!" Liu Ji held Ximen Qing's hand and said, "It is said that this Tianbaodong is the wine cellar of the founder Du Kang. We must pay our respects to this before we can enter."
At this point, even Liu Neng's face was filled with the urge to kneel down and worship.
Du Kang? Ximen Qing vaguely remembers him as a figure from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. It is almost a myth. Legend has it that he invented wine making. It is no wonder that Liu Jishou and Liu Neng regarded Du Kang as their ancestor.
However, Ximen Qing still vaguely felt that something was wrong: "Isn't Du Kang from Shaanxi? Even the monarch of the Xia Dynasty should be in the Central Plains. Why did he go to the mountains in the middle of Shandong's water pool to build a wine cellar? But there are legends about this kind of thing
"?"
Under the attention of everyone, Liu Jishou and Liu Neng knelt down at the cave door, kneaded earth into incense, kowtowed three times respectfully, and prayed incessantly.
Ximen Qing listened to a few words, which were nothing more than "Master bless me, and my disciples will make good wine" and so on. Even Liu Neng, who was looking for a breakthrough, prayed seriously and non-stop.
Everyone waited patiently, and Ximen Qing took the opportunity to ask the two minions: "How is the air in the cave?"
One of the gangsters replied: "It's okay. A brother went in and took a look. Although the entrance is small, the inside is very open, and there are front and rear holes. But the light is not very good, so you need to light a torch."
Ximen Qing can also light it by listening to a torch. The air inside will definitely circulate with the outside world and there will be no lack of oxygen.
The two young men had prepared a lot of torches. At this time, they took them off their backs. Each of them had one to spare, so they lit them one after another, waiting for the two of them to finish praying and go into the cave to check.
Liu Jishou and Liu Neng prayed sincerely for two cups of tea before standing up and signaling to everyone that they could go in.
Immediately, a young man holding a torch got in first, and everyone filed in. Ximen Qing was afraid that something might happen, so he asked Yan Qing to guard the entrance of the cave while he and others went in to explore the cave.
After entering, there is a long and narrow stone passage that can only accommodate one person. However, it is indeed higher than the entrance of the cave. It is no problem for someone as tall as Wu Song to walk upright.
Ximen Qing held up a torch and looked at the passage carefully. There were not many man-made traces. It looked like just a crack in the stone. He secretly admired the uncanny workmanship of nature.
There seemed to be something knocked down in the darkness under his feet. Ximen Qing used a torch to shine it, and it seemed that they were all broken pottery fragments. It was hard to tell how old they were, but they were definitely traces left by the ancients.
After walking for more than thirty steps, the figure of the little gangster in front of him disappeared in a flash. Wu Song rushed forward to see what was going on. It turned out that there was a big bend in front of him. He heard the little gangster's voice coming from far away, suddenly far away and sometimes close.
, seems to be saying that the front hole has arrived.
Wu Song was careful and took the first step, followed by Liu Jishou and Liu Neng and his son, and finally Ximen Qing took the lead.
After turning a big bend, Ximen Qing's eyes lit up. He actually came to an open place. It was estimated to be the size of a basketball court and it was not high enough to reach the top. However, there must be a small gap above, allowing some light to come in. The inside of the cave was not included.
dark.
Looking at the way it came, it turned out to be a crack in the stone. I don’t know how the ancients discovered this hidden place.
There was a strange smell permeating the air. I couldn't tell whether it was the aroma of wine or something else, but looking at Liu Jishou and Liu Neng breathing heavily in ecstasy, I knew it must be something good.
"The cellar! The cellar of the ancestor!"
If Liu Jishou and Liu Neng hadn't yelled at each other, no one would have thought that several stone pits several feet square surrounded by blue bricks on the ground were cellars. No matter what era they were left behind, the cellar mud inside
Fermentation is crucial to the fermentation process.
This is why Liu Jishou and Liu Neng were so happy that they wanted to jump in and get their faces covered with mud.
It's so rare.
Ximen Qing estimated that even if the father and son were asked to return to Qinghe County to make wine, they would refuse to leave at all costs.
It doesn’t matter whether this cave is the legendary Tianbao Cave or whether it was left by the legendary Du Kang. Ximen Qing already feels like he has found a treasure. Thousand-year-old?
This name is enough to scare a lot of people to death.
How much should a bottle cost? This is a vexing question.
Limited quantity, must be limited quantity!
This kind of wine should not be sold, but should be auctioned in limited quantities! The minimum price is 50 gu!
There were so many thoughts running through Ximen Qing's mind at that moment, but after thinking about it over and over, there was nothing more than one sentence: Get rich!
This is just the front hole. The back hole has a larger space. It must have been used to store fine wine. Unfortunately, except for a few broken jars, there is nothing inside.
It can be seen from the broken pottery fragments all over the floor that no less than a thousand jars of fine wine were once stored here.
"What a pity! What a pity!" Liu Jishou and Liu Neng, father and son, stamped their feet and beat their chests: "Why didn't you leave one or two jars of the wine brewed by our ancestors?"
Wu Song and Xiao Tianqing were also surprised by the scale of the cave and the discoveries inside. They did not expect that the cave wine cellar was so large and ancient.
Ximen Qing estimated that this cave might just be a relic from hundreds of years ago. He didn't know why the original owner abandoned this place. However, it seemed that there was no trace of wine left behind. They had moved everything away.
of wine, and then left calmly.
No matter who the owner was, he must have been a great person at the beginning. This cave, no, maybe the entire Liangshan Mountain was this person's secret base.
The most critical thing right now is rational development.
When Ximen Qing was the first to get out of the cave and return to the bottom of the cliff, what he was thinking about was how to develop the wine cellar rationally.
The open space in front of the cliff is large and can be opened up as a winery; the road here needs to be repaired so that the produced wine can be transported continuously; there is no need to worry about confidentiality, the eight hundred miles of water is a natural barrier
.
Yan Qing saw Ximen Qing looking around with straight eyes as soon as he came out, mumbling incessantly, and couldn't help asking about the situation inside the cave.
Only then did Ximen Qing wake up and briefly explained the situation inside the cave: "We need to discuss this place with King Chao Tianwang. How to develop and utilize it is the key."
Others also came out one after another. Ximen Qing didn't see Liu Jishou and Liu Neng and his son come out. After Wu Song told them, he realized that the father and son were very happy. They were inspecting everywhere in the cave and refused to come out for a while.
Ximen Qing shook his head after hearing this: "It seems that even three meals a day will be delivered to them."
Then he asked Yan Qing, "Is there anything unusual outside?"
Yan Qing replied: "Except for the two rabbits, there is nothing unusual about it."
After saying this, the prodigal Yan Qing kicked two hares that had been dead for a long time on the ground next to him. Only then did Ximen Qing notice that Yan Qing was carrying a crossbow today, and it was just hidden under his clothes just now.
"I saw Xue'er come back after hunting a lot of wild ducks the other day, and my hands were itchy for a while." Yan Qing shook her head: "Originally, this crossbow was given to Xue'er for use, but I couldn't help but get it for fun."
Ximen Qing knew that Yan Qing gave the crossbow to Xue'er because of Fahua Temple. He didn't say much and ordered two minions to guard the entrance of the cave. He took Wu Song, Yan Qing, and Xiao
As the weather cleared, the four of them headed back, preparing to discuss the development of the cave with King Chao Tian.
Halfway through the journey, looking from a distance, I saw a wide water surface at the foot of the mountain, which was the 800-mile water park surrounding Liangshan Mountain.
Seeing this beautiful scenery, Ximen Qing was moved and couldn't help but stop and watch it: "The beautiful scenery of the water park is so intoxicating."
Yan Qing, the prodigal son, saw that Ximen Qing seemed to be interested in poetry. He wanted to write a few words to cheer him up, but he didn't expect that he suddenly heard an extremely subtle "bang" sound in his ear.
Loosen the fully drawn bow string, this is the sound.
