Chapter 440 (Bottleneck II)
"Brother Ling, you can be invited, the old man is grateful!"
Old Man Tong's voice called Ling Zikai back from his reverie.
"The old man is polite, it is my honor to be able to taste the once-in-a-century dragon bud tea!"
"It's just a cup of tea, what an honor to say. It's a pity that there isn't much left of this dragon bud tea, or I'll take it back to you with a little bit!"
Ling Zikai hurriedly waved his hand and said, "A gentleman doesn't take the love of others!
In fact, Old Man Tong was really reluctant to share the remaining dragon bud tea, and when he saw Ling Zikai refusing, he no longer insisted. Then he picked up a small porcelain bottle on several cases, which was the bottle of wine that Hong Lei had served at the banquet before.
"This bottle of wine was originally intended to be given to the elder brother to help the wine, but I didn't expect it to be rejected by the elder brother in the name of uselessness. Haha, could it be that when you see that there is only a little bit of residual brew left in the bottle, you think that the old man's hospitality is not sincere!"
"The old man is serious, but I feel that the things in this bottle are too precious, and I can't afford it!"
"Oh, could it be that the elder brother can still see the origin of the things in this bottle?" Old Man Tong looked at Ling Zikai suspiciously: "Shouldn't you be like that dragon bud tea, you have tasted this wine before, right?"
Ling Zikai really wanted to say that he had indeed tasted this wine before, but he was told by Old Man Tong first, and he was embarrassed to admit it.
Old Man Tong took the small porcelain bottle and shook it gently, and said leisurely: "This bottle of wine was obtained by chance fifty years ago. At that time, there was only half a bottle left in the bottle. I don't know what this wine is made of, it looks like amber, just smelling the aroma makes people feel intoxicated.
Curious, the old man poured out a glass of wine to taste fresh.
Do you know what happened to the old man after he drank it? He immediately fell to the ground unconscious, and the frightened family was rushed to the hospital. When the doctor at the hospital saw me, he said that he had drunk too much wine and was drunk, and he washed my stomach and put a bottle of salt water on me, and then sent me home.
I slept in bed for seven days and seven nights before I woke up.
The first thing I did when I woke up was to throw the bottle away.
Is this fucking wine or poison, I almost gave my life away!
But in the evening, I picked it up from the ravine in the dark, wondering if it was really poison, would I still die?
Being able to get people drunk for seven days and seven nights without waking up is definitely a superb wine. The problem should be that you are greedy for a cup and drink too much!
It was after that drunkenness that I found a flow of air in my body when I was practicing boxing. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with drinking this wine, but I finally saved this bottle of wine.
When Xiao Leizi practiced boxing with me for ten years, I also tried to make him drink some wine. Of course, I was only given about a third of the amount I had drunk. Rao was like this, and the boy slept for three days and three nights. It's just that I don't know why, but there is no internal qi in his body, and I don't know if it is because he should drink too little. But the strength of the kid's body had nearly doubled.
Although there was still some wine left in the bottle, I didn't dare to give it to him anymore for fear of something unforeseeable. “
Ling Zikai nodded secretly, he had personal experience of the power of this wine. At the beginning of the Chen family, if he hadn't been there, Chen Yi's grandfather and grandson didn't know what danger would be.
The energy in this wine is simply something that ordinary people can absorb, and if you are not careful, you may explode and die. Old Man Tong and Na Honglei drank wine and brewed just a big drunk, it should have something to do with the fact that they are martial arts practitioners and have strong physiques.
Thinking about it, a trace of doubt rose in Ling Zikai's heart, and he couldn't help but ask: "Old man, I want to ask you a question: I'm just an ordinary customer who comes to your Bazhen Pavilion to eat, how can you, who you don't know, be willing to give such a precious wine as a gift?"
Old Man Tong seemed to have expected Ling Zikai to ask this question, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "It is said that it is a gift, but in fact, the old man is still selfish."
Although the old man has been hiding this sake for decades, he still has not figured out what materials it is made from.
If there is no wrong speculation, it should be prepared by a martial arts master, and it is an auxiliary product to improve martial arts cultivation.
The reason why I gave it to my brother to taste it was to see if my brother could recognize its origin, and secondly, I wanted to use this wine to confirm the identity of my brother as a child of a famous family;
Of course, the most important point is that I want to make friends with my brother, and I hope you can help me break through the bottleneck!"
Ling Zikai smiled dumbly and said, "I think in my opinion, you are always going to be disappointed!"
"Even if you didn't accept my kindness, wouldn't you be here now?"
Ling Zikai said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I will be invited here because I have a question in my heart and want to ask the old man for advice." ”
Old man Tong sighed and said, "My brother has something to say, but it's okay to ask, the old man knows everything." ”
"Old man, when I first came to Northern Province, I heard that the dishes of Bazhen Pavilion in Baishan City were a must. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name! Especially those eight treasured dishes, it was even more delicious. With the same ingredients and cooking techniques, why don't the eight treasures made in other restaurants have such a flavor?
Old Man Tong didn't expect that the question Ling Zikai said turned out to be about the practice of Bazhen cuisine, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Of course, if it's a trade secret, you can leave me alone. ”
Old Man Tong asked curiously, "Why do you ask this question?
Ling Zikai shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I won't be a business competitor of your Eight Treasures Pavilion. Even if you know the cooking secrets of these eight treasures, you won't leak them. You don't know, the forest farm I run is going to have a bonfire party recently, and there are a lot of people coming. I'm worried about how to entertain those guests! If I can make a few Bazhen dishes when the time comes, I will definitely surprise everyone!"
Old Man Tong understood what Ling Zikai meant, and couldn't help laughing: "So that's the case, it's not easy! When the time comes, I'll take Xiao Leizi directly to the forest farm and cook more than a dozen eight treasured dishes!"
Ling Zikai didn't expect the old man to be so righteous, but at the same time, he also blocked his idea of wanting to find out the secrets of Bazhen cuisine's cooking.
Ling Zikai is not interested in the secret method of cooking, and he doesn't want to open a restaurant, even if he learns it, it's useless. The reason why I talked about this topic was to find out the origin of the little mushroom that contained the essence of the life element. That's a good thing, both in terms of nutrition and commercial prospects, and its value is completely comparable to that of the understory ginseng planted in the forest farm, and it can be developed as a project.
