Chapter 158 [Hundred Flowers and Honey Brewing]
"This man's arithmetic is so subtle!"
Miao Yin also began the long test, and the more she looked at the chess game, the deeper the fear in her heart. The person in front of her, who was once regarded as a starter and made frequent unreasonable moves, was actually a peerless master who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger!
Looking back at this time, Zhou Yi's bad and bad chess formed by unreasonable moves actually made up for each other in the process of running all the way and became a wonderful good chess;
Some moves were still bad chess fifty moves ago, but now these bad chess pieces are like sharp knives, straight into her vital point, not to mention counterattacking, she can finish safely and steadily in this situation, thank God.
Miao Yin has been immersed in Go for more than ten years, and naturally knows how much calculation is needed to calculate all changes in 50 moves in advance, is there a supercomputer hidden in his mind?
This kind of computing power is no less than the 'stone Buddha' who has dominated the world for more than ten years and created an era, right?
Miaoyin unconsciously oozed cold sweat on her forehead, in the face of such a master, can she turn over in the official stage? In the current situation, she is at least one and a half behind, not much, but in the national player competition, as long as the opponent does not make big mistakes in the official stage, it is extremely difficult for her to turn the tables.
A chess game that was chaotic at the beginning, and finally it was played into a fine chess game, which is really uncalm, and the opponent's control of the chess game is really terrible!
But now, she has no choice, she can only end with her heart, and now Xiao Shitai has faintly regretted it, she knew that Zhou Yi's chess skills were so clever, she shouldn't have talked about any demeanor to choose the second game of piano skills, with Zhou Yi's performance at the Kunqu Opera Festival that night, if you want to win him in the piano art, it is estimated that it is more difficult than winning chess.
After entering the official stage, Miaoyin understood what it meant to be a 'chaotic war' before life was better than death, although she was always led by the nose, but she still held the hope of 'settling accounts after the autumn' in her heart, and her mood was not bad; Where there is chess, he doesn't give an inch, and where it looks like there is no chess, he also has to search for it, the kind of ending technique that is like a mercury dump is intricate, which can make the 'stone Buddha' burst into flames, but it makes you unable to find a place to fight back.
In the one-hour finale, Miao Yin felt that she had suffered a double blow both physically and psychologically, and she felt that her heart was about to break when she had always been arrogant, and she really wanted to cry! She had obviously done her best, but the gap between the two sides was getting bigger and bigger, and seeing that the gap between one and a half eyes was forced to be pulled away by Zhou Yi to three or four eyes, and this gap continued to increase
"Don't go any further, I'm losing"
Miao Yin gritted her teeth, took out a chess piece from the chess box and placed it on the chessboard.
Throw in and admit defeat.
Sister Miaoyin, just admit defeat?
Tang Bao couldn't believe his eyes.
Miaoyin's parents passed away in a certain movement when she was a child, and was accepted by Tang Bao's parents as a righteous daughter, Tang Bao grew up with this godsister since childhood, and knows her character too well, and her sister's pride and loftiness in her bones make him both respectful and admirable, in his memory, his sister has never bowed her head to others and admit defeat.
In fact, even Tang Bao himself couldn't tell what kind of feeling he felt about Sister Miaoyin, whether it was respect or love, admiration or love, it seemed that there was more admiration and admiration
Therefore, Tang Bao was a little unacceptable to Miaoyin's brittleness. Originally, he thought that even if Zhou Yi wanted to win, it should be in the second game, and it was impossible to take any advantage in Sister Miaoyin's 'home field' anyway, but it turned out to make him smash his glasses.
"Mr. Zhou is really a real person, and his chess skills have reached the realm of supernatural beauty, and Miaoyin is ashamed of himself."
Miao Yin raised her head and glanced at Zhou Yi deeply: "It's a pity that you are so good at chess, but you refuse to serve the country." Otherwise, my Chinese Go will definitely be able to dominate the world chess world for at least ten years!"
"Hehe, it's really strange that these words came out of the mouth of Miss Miaoyin. ”
Zhou Yi smiled slightly: "With Miss Miaoyin's chess strength, even male chess players are difficult to deal with, let alone women, so why does the girl refuse to win glory for the country?"
"I'm an outsider, how can I compare it?"
Miao Yin shook his head and said: "The first game is won by Mr. Zhou, according to the rules we said, this second game"
"Slow. ”
Zhou Yi interrupted her and said, "It's better to put the piano art competition in the third game." I'm very interested in the content of the third game that Miss Miao Yin proposed earlier, why don't you mention it to the second game?"
To be honest, it is difficult for him to have pity for a woman with a character like Miaoyin, but after seeing Miaoyin lose the chess, Tang Bao looked stunned, and felt that he should still save some face for his 'Miaoyin good sister'.
Zhou Yi came to Kyoto this time, and what he carried with him was a bucket line golden red, where is there any treasure thing that can be used for the game? But if you really want to win her, you can also lock in the victory with a random egg fried rice, and now that the victory has been locked, if the things Miaoyin took out are really good, it doesn't matter if you put a lot of water in this game, then Tang Bao's face will look better.
"Mr. Zhou is afraid that I will lose two games in a row and lose face?"
Miao Yin furrowed her eyebrows slightly, and looked at Zhou Yi with some displeasure.
"That's not it, since you've won it, isn't it the same to win early or late?"
Zhou Yi smiled, and he spared no effort to fight this proud little peacock: "Actually, I'm afraid that Miss Miaoyin will lose, so I won't take out good things for everyone to share, so I won't become a sinner?"
"Okay, count me as a favor for you"
Miao Yin smiled rarely: "Actually, the thing I was going to use for the competition has been sent to the back kitchen, and it is a jar of 'Hundred Flowers Nectar Wine'." ”
"Hundred flowers and honey?"
Zhou Yi was slightly stunned. Ever since he used the ninth-level magic to transform himself into the current 'God of Wine', many secret recipes for winemaking have naturally emerged in his mind, among which is this 'Hundred Flowers Nectar Wine'.
'Take the essence of a hundred flowers, the two qi of yin and yang, the spirit of the lower place, and the essence of the five grains, and you will get this wine. ’
This kind of potpourri nectar is brewed in summer and stored in winter, and the most difficult thing is the fermentation process, even Zhou Yi is too lazy to get it, I can't imagine that this little master has such a leisurely feeling?
Before he tried his piano skills, Zhou Yi already had some feelings of meeting a bosom friend, because if this wine was not a hundred boring idlers who had nothing to do and waited for death, he would not be tempted to brew it at all, even he felt that it was too time-consuming and extravagant
"Sister, have you really brewed a hundred flowers of nectar?haha, you want to kill me, so what are you waiting for, Xi'er, quickly order someone to present it!"
Tang Bao glanced at Zhou Yi excitedly: "Brother Zhou, this time you are going to lose." It's not me bragging, Sister Miaoyin's 100 flowers are a must, you don't have anywhere to buy it if you have money, this time you are blessed. ”
"Hehe, that's of course, if it's pure potpourri nectar, don't talk about how it tastes, just this intention, I have to worship. ”
Zhou Yi laughed, and he was also very relieved that he could drink the most troublesome wine in the world, and at the same time he was a little glad, if he hadn't proposed to compete with this game first, with Miaoyin's character, I am afraid that he would not have taken this wine out after losing two games in a row, and the loss would have been too great.
It didn't take long, a Tang family helper to hold up the Baihua wine, the wine is in a yellow glazed wine jug, and there is a glazed roast plate of the same color below, two alcohol blocks are burning inside, under the boiling of the blue flame, the aroma of the wine comes to the face, not the intoxicating fragrance, nor the spicy old dry burning, but a kind of fragrant smell of flowers, warm, let people smell a mouthful, it feels like spring, the flowers are in full bloom outside the body, and the fragrance is pervasive.
Zhou Yi took a sip lightly and nodded slightly, Miaoyin is worthy of being called a talented woman, I don't know if the Dharma is profound, but her wine-making skills are really top-notch;
A beautiful mountain, there are many colors of the temple name, there is a beautiful little nun in the temple, and she brews a good wine, which is too reverie
The wealth of the Tang family is shown in the ubiquitous details. With this set of wine utensils, is a set of yellow glass glass, the material of the cup itself is not valuable, the magic is in the firing technology and the 'inner painting' in the cup, after the pale green liquor is poured, these four seasons of flowers carved with a special process will be biochemical with the fluctuation of the liquor biochemical many scenes, for a while it is a little difficult to distinguish whether the wine is in the cup, or the glass is on the wine.
Tang Bao and Xi'er couldn't wait for a long time, took the wine glass and sucked this beautiful, partial and fragrant liquor one by one, the cautious appearance, as if they were afraid that a few drops would be accidentally spilled, after the wine was entered, they immediately sipped their mouths, their cheeks trembled slightly, and there was a very slight and long swallowing sound in their throats.
No one was willing to swallow the wine directly, and they were all savoring it, as if they were admiring the greatest work of art.
"Mr. Zhou, listening to what you just said, it seems that you know a lot about winemaking, so could you please taste it?"
Miao Yin looked at Zhou Yi very seriously. Zhou Yi's chess skills really convinced her, but this did not discourage her, seeing Zhou Yi just speak, like a wine veteran, she couldn't help but be a little unconvinced, thinking about saying goodbye to him.
"Okay, then I'm welcome."
Zhou Yi didn't let the gang pour wine, but picked up the wine jug and poured himself a glass.
Seeing his method of pouring wine, Miaoyin's heart moved again: "Sure enough, he is an expert, is it really capable of anything?"
The so-called 'shallow pour slow drink' in ancient times when the wine doctor poured the wine can use a small mouth of the wine jug to pull out a two-meter-long wine line, this is to make the wine fully contact with the air, volatilize the unique fragrance; modern people like to shake the glass when drinking red wine, in fact, this is also the truth, of course, there are also people who don't know how to pretend to be messy, that is called vassal elegance.
Although Zhou Yi didn't deliberately stand up and throw out the wine line when he poured the wine just now, he relied on the strength of his wrist to raise the wine line into the air, and went around in the air before falling back into the wine glass.
There are not a few wine fairies and drunkards that Miaoyin has seen, of course she recognizes this as the 'crane raising its head' in the wine method, but it is the first time she has seen it to the extent of Zhou Yi.
"Your wine is not bad."
Zhou Yi took a sip lightly, put down the wine glass, and didn't seem to have the intention of taking a second sip: "Well, this kind of color of a hundred flowers, although you can't get a full score, it's rare; ”
"Can't get a perfect score?"
A red tide flashed on Miaoyin's fair face, although it was fleeting, it was still seen by Tang Bao, and the goods suddenly became unhappy: "Brother Zhou, don't you say that, Sister Miaoyin can't get a full score for this wine?" ”
"This kind of potpourri nectar, although it also uses the finest sorghum, barley, wheat, rice and glutinous rice, but does not use them as the main ingredient, but only uses them to make the wine more mellow;
"Not bad. ”
Miao Yin nodded, but didn't say much, because what Zhou Yi said was just common sense, not the real mystery of brewing honey.
"Hehe, that's right"
Zhou Yi picked up the wine glass and said: "But this wine can't be brewed with ready-made koji, the grains are pressed by nectar, and it can't be fermented, so to make it fermented into wine, you have to rely on some fruits; it's best to be pure natural green food, not the kind that is urged by hormones, otherwise the taste will be impure If I'm not mistaken, Miss Miaoyin must have traveled a lot of places in order to find these fruits, right? Because it must be picked and used, and the train will lose its original flavor."
"You really know?"
Miao Yin looked at Zhou Yi at this moment with admiration in her eyes, she was proud of her talent in this life, and regarded men in the world as if she were a chicken, even if she was divorced from Tang Bao, she only treated him as an ignorant brother, but Zhou Yi shocked her again and again today, how many mysteries were hidden in this man's chest?
"Miss Miaoyin has worked so hard, and in terms of wine-making techniques, people can't find faults, so this wine is good."
"Brother Zhou, what you said is not right, since there is no problem with the materials for brewing, and there is no problem with Sister Miaoyin's technique, why can't you still get a full score?"
Before Zhou Yi's words were finished, he was interrupted by Tang Bao, the more he listened, the more unconvinced he became, such a good wine has to find fault, Brother Zhou, you can't be a troll?
"Brother Bao, let Mr. Zhou finish!"
Miao Yin glared at Tang Bao, looked at Zhou Yi and said, "Please ask Mr. Zhou for advice"
This woman can be taught
Zhou Yi is still very satisfied with Miaoyin's performance, although her temperament is a little arrogant and she looks down on people easily, but once you decide that you have real talent and learning, she immediately humbly asks for advice, compared to those women who are gentle on the outside and queen on the inside, I don't know how many times stronger.
"The materials used by Miss Miao Yin are not without problems"
Encountering such a studious and beautiful student, Zhou Yi was also willing to say a few more words: "There is no problem with the one hundred and eight kinds of four-hour nectar, and the problem lies in the fruit used to ferment." These fruits should not only correspond to the best green ones, but also correspond to the one hundred and eight kinds of nectar, for example, pear blossoms should correspond to wild pears, and if they are peach blossoms in the temperate zone of the south, they should correspond to local peaches, but in the honey of the hundred flowers, there are at least fifteen kinds of fruits that cannot correspond to the nectar, so no matter how good your wine-making technique is, it will destroy the taste of the wine."
"My God, Brother Zhou, aren't you, aren't you? How many kinds of fruits can you taste?" Tang Bao listened to Du Xuan, but he admired Zhou Yi more and more.
"Mr. Zhou, if I achieve the opposite of flowers and fruits, will I be able to make the best wine?" Miaoyin listened very seriously, and only hated that he didn't bring a notebook and a pen, and couldn't record Zhou Yi's words.
"Hehe, in addition to flowers and fruits, we must also pay attention to the quality of winemaking, the water you use is not bad, but it is still a little worse"
Zhou Yi unconsciously said a little too much, and suddenly his heart jumped, not good! If she asked where the water was good, of course it was the water in Baiquan Valley, should I answer or not? Hurriedly changed the topic and said: "In fact, the truly superb Baihua nectar is not something that people can brew, but a group of monkeys in the mountains. They will collect the nectar of the four seasons and all kinds of wild fruits corresponding to the nectar, and use the dry pools in the mountains as a tank to make this wine, so this kind of wine is also called 'monkey wine', which is a true thing, not a strange novel?"
"What the master said is really right, the previous Miaoyin was really too arrogant and looked down on the world's figures, Mr. Zhou, thank you. ”
After listening to Zhou Yi's words, Miaoyin's face changed again and again, and finally she got up and stood up, walked to Zhou Yi and bowed: "Mr. Zhou, please accept my worship." It was you who let Miao Yin know the truth that there is a heaven outside the sky and a man on man."
She was proud of her life, but today she was repeatedly impressed by Zhou Yi, first her best Go was defeated by Zhou Yi, and then Zhou Yi pointed out that the nectar that she spent half a year and walked through several provinces had many defects, and Zhou Yi's erudition was only seen in her life.
Miaoyin even felt that the first two blows that Zhou Yi gave her were like an empowerment, which made her suddenly realize that she was not in the past, and that she was arrogant and withdrawn in the past suddenly became so hateful
At this moment, Zhou Yi is a guru, a life mentor, and a prophet in her eyes
"Sister Miaoyin, what are you doing, isn't this over yet?"
Tang Bao was stunned, and said in his heart, Sister, why did you change your temperament, what's so great about monkey wine, is it worth your so? Besides, Brother Zhou is just talking about it, and he didn't come up with anything good to compete with you?
"If Mr. Zhou can say such a thing, I also lost this game. ”
Miao Yin smiled lightly: "If you lose two games in a row, you don't have to compare the piano skills below, do you still want your sister to continue to be embarrassed?"
