Xu Wei talked to Jiang Nu for too long at night, and when he saw Fusang and Gu Huacheng the next day, Fusang frowned and poked Jiu Niang's forehead.

"What are you doing!" Jiu Niang yawned loudly.

Fusang pinched Jiu Niang's cheek and smiled: "Where did you go to steal last night?" Look at the darkness under this eye. ”

"Nothing." Jiuniang slapped Fusang's hand awkwardly and glanced at Jiang Nu with some complaint.

Fuso looked at this and then at that, and coughed lightly.

Jiang Nu twisted the hem of her clothes, and smiled apologetically at Jiu Niang: "It's all because I pulled my senior sister to talk for half a night last night." ”

"Isn't that how?" Jiu Niang rolled her eyes at Jiang Nu.

“…… When did my junior sister have such a big sense of getting up? Fusang poked Jiuniang.

Jiuniang stepped on Fusang viciously, made a big white eye, and sat down to pour tea for herself.

"Ouch, it's a little one, and you're good at it." Fusang smacked her tongue and pulled Jiang Nu to the side and muttered, "You said that your senior sister and my junior sister have such a big temper, did you carry you under the bed last night?" ”

“…… No. Jiang Nu glanced at Jiu Niang cautiously and shook her head at Fusang.

Fusang nodded, glanced at Jiu Niang, and then at Gu Huacheng: "Master, just let the junior sister rest here first?" ”

"Jiuniang." Gu Huacheng glanced at Jiu Niang and stretched out his hand to pull her, "Today we will go to the outside of the city to find spring water, will you come together, or will you rest for a while?" ”

Jiuniang took a few more sips of tea before standing up with a frown: "Naturally, they followed together." ”

Water is as important as winemaking. No matter how sleepy Jiuniang is, she can't give up the opportunity to go to Pinquan. And the one who sleeps with his head covered. Besides, drowsiness is such a thing. It's good to walk more. In fact, in the past, Jiuniang didn't sleep enough every day, and she didn't feel so uncomfortable at that time, but now how can she sleep a few times and become so squeamish? Thinking of this, Jiu Niang couldn't help but spit on herself.

Looking up at Jiang Nu still looking apologetic, Jiu Niang couldn't help but sigh, and stepped forward to take Jiang Nu's hand: "Senior sister, I don't blame you. We're just ...... I'm sorry. ”

"Senior sister is serious." Jiang Nu saw Jiu Niang smiling with herself, as if she had let go of something in her heart, and grinned at Jiu Niang.

Gu Huacheng looked at the appearance of their senior brothers and sisters, smiled, turned around and took a few water bladders and handed them to them.

Out of the courtyard, a few miles to the north, there was a pool. Listening to Gu Huacheng, this waterhole has existed for many years. It seems that since the settlement of people in Beihu, this waterhole has existed. It's just that this waterhole obviously looks like a backwaterhole, but it never sees less water, nor does it grow. It seems that no matter what time of year you come, there is always so much water here.

The surrounding families take their daily water from this pool. But the water is still clear.

Jiuniang couldn't help but imagine for a moment, if it was in a modern society with advanced technology. Don't say that if a village takes water in one place, it is a family that takes water. I'm afraid that the vicinity of the waterhole will be dirty and messy, right?

"What is Senior Sister thinking?" Jiang Nu pulled Jiu Niang's sleeve, tilted her head and asked.

Jiuniang immediately came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "It's nothing." ”

Gu Huacheng glanced at them and didn't say anything, just filled a little water with a water bladder, took a sip of it himself, and handed the water bladder to Fusang. Fusang took it, took out a few small porcelain cups from his arms, poured a few cups, and handed them to Jiuniang and Jiang Nu.

Jiuniang took it and smiled: "The things that Senior Brother brought are all there." ”

Fusang grinned: "That's, who are you senior brother and I, it must be prepared at all times." ”

"Well, yes, I don't know who forgot to wake up the spirit flower when I made wine before, and I don't know who made wine with not enough koji, who ......"

"Senior sister, I beg you, can't you forget these things?" Fusang had a big head and reached out to cover Jiuniang's mouth.

Jiu Niang dodged with a smile and took a sip of spring water: "It's so sweet." ”

Gu Huacheng nodded: "Indeed, the spring water here is sweet and clear, but it is very suitable for brewing thousands of red caves." ”

A thousand red caves? Jiuniang accidentally thought of the Nalaoshzi wine that Brother Bao drank in "Dream of Red Mansions". Glancing at Gu Huacheng carefully, Jiu Niang stepped forward with a little obscene smile: "Master, can you tell me what the Thousand Red Caves are?" ”

"......" Gu Hua blushed.

Jiuniang looked at this jiashi, and silently turned her head, it seems that this Qianhong Cave is really a real flower wine, maybe it ...... Gu Huacheng also often drinks ......

Gu Huacheng raised his head and glared at Jiu Niang, and stretched out his hand to greet Jiang Nu: "Fill this water with the water bladder." ”

Jiang Nu nodded and squatted down to carefully fill a water bladder, Jiu Niang covered her mouth and laughed on the side: "Master, why do you like this kind of ......?"

"What nonsense!" Gu Huacheng glared at her.

Jiu Niang blinked, puzzled: "I just want to say how do you like this kind of spring water, Master, what are you doing with such a big reaction?" ”

“……”

Gu Huacheng got up and walked out without saying a word, Fusang took a few steps behind, grabbed Jiuniang and said with a smile: "Senior sister, you are so capable." ”

Jiuniang received Fusang's praise and nodded: "Senior brother taught well." ”

"......" Fusang was stunned for a moment and slapped Jiuniang, "you, if the master is angry, you have to block it for me, don't say that I instigated you." ”

Jiuniang tilted her head, noncommittal.

After walking a little further north, Gu Huacheng stopped, pointed to the front and said, "Do you see the boundary monument over there?" ”

Jiu Niang stood on tiptoe for a while and shook her head. Jiang Nu grabbed Jiu Niang, stretched out her hand and pointed in front of Jiu Niang's eyes: "That's what Master said." ”

Jiuniang stuck out her tongue, nodded, and turned her head to look at Gu Huacheng.

"After that boundary monument is the boundary of the Jin Kingdom, if you come here in the future, you should be careful."

Fusang and they nodded hurriedly, but Jiuniang didn't know what to think of, and frowned slightly.

Gu Huacheng glanced at Jiu Niang and pointed in another direction: "Let's go over there and have a look." ”

"Master. Doesn't it mean that there are also some wine merchants from the Jin Kingdom in Beihu? weishenme: When you just talked about the boundary monument, it was so solemn? Jiuniang tugged at Gu Huacheng's sleeve.

Gu Hua replied without replying: "Because of the land of trade." Only Beihu. Or rather, in this large area of land where the two countries meet. Only this part of Beihu is inhabited. ”

Jiuniang nodded, didn't ask anything more, but she still had some doubts in her heart.

After walking west for a while, there is a lake.

The miracle of the lake is like a masterpiece left by the creator on this land. The surrounding area is not like a large area of yellow sand like Beihu, with red flowers and willow green, but it looks a bit of Jiangnan atmosphere. It's just that in Beihu, it's a little abrupt in the end.

Gu Huacheng had a strange expression, and went to the lake to hold a handful of water. Nodding.

This time, without waiting for Gu Huacheng to speak, Jiuniang went to the lake, followed Gu Huacheng's example, held her hand, and tasted it.

In addition to being cold, Jiu Niang did not taste anything special. Unlike the one they tasted before, there is a sweet taste when you drink it, and the biggest feeling of this is that it is cold.

Looking at Jiu Niang's expression, Gu Huacheng couldn't help but smile. asked, "Jiu Niang, what kind of expression do you have?" ”

"This water is so cold." Jiuniang frowned.

Gu Huacheng nodded: "I heard that this lake has a name that is Bingquan." The water temperature here is so cold all year round, Jiuniang, don't you think it's very refreshing? ”

Jiu Niang nodded. Let Gu Huacheng say this, he really feels a little sober, but isn't that because the water is too cold?

"What kind of wine is such cold water for?" Jiang Nu also held a handful of water. looked up and asked Gu Huacheng.

Gu Huacheng glanced at Jiang Nu and asked, "How much have you read the Wine Sutra?" ”

"I've seen a lot. I've already seen the chapter on wine tasting. Jiang Nu thought about it and replied.

Gu Huacheng nodded, and asked again, "Then how much do you remember?" Remember what water means to winemaking? ”

Jiang Nu was stunned for a moment. Go see Jiuniang.

Gu Huacheng frowned: "Let me ask you, what are you going to do to see your senior sister?" ”

"Senior sister remembers the things in the book better than I ......"

"Then are you reading for nothing?" Gu Huacheng couldn't help but be a little louder.

Jiang Nu's eyes turned red. Jiuniang couldn't help but sigh, pulled Jiang Nu, and smiled: "Senior sister, don't be nervous, just say what you remember." ”

"I'm afraid of making the mistake." Jiang Nu almost buried her head in the water.

Gu Huacheng couldn't help but reach out and pull her, frowned, and said, "If you don't say it, who knows if it's right or wrong?" Even Fuso made more mistakes in one day than he drank water. Jiu Niang, do you think that her endorsement is haode fast? You can't make a single song! Jiang Nu, how are you different from them? What don't you dare to say? ”

The ginger girl bit her lip, looking like she was about to cry.

Fusang couldn't help but patted Jiang Nu on the shoulder: "Yes, little junior sister, you can say whatever you think in your heart, even if you say it wrong, what does it matter?" Why are you so timid? ”

"Hmm." Jiang Nu nodded, snorted, and spoke, "Qu is the soul of wine, and water is the bone of wine." That's what Master asked? ”

"Isn't that very nice?" Jiu Niang smiled at Jiang Nu, "Isn't that what Master asked?" ”

"You answered positively." Gu Huacheng glanced at Jiu Niang, smiled at Jiang Nu and nodded, "This is what the teacher asked." ”

The quality of water quality can directly affect the quality of their winemaking, Gu Huacheng has always paid attention to these, along the way, the sake he carried, one is for the convenience of blending, but on the other hand, it is because he is worried that when he needs it on the road, he will not be able to find haode spring water. Now that he has arrived in Beihu, the spring water of these two sides is still the same as in his memory, which also makes him feel relieved.

Immediately, Jiuniang and Fusang poured water and brought them back. Gu Huacheng adjusted the taste for another two days, and finally took Fusang back with a large wooden barrel filled with a bucket of water.

During this period, Jiuniang was also taken by the dumb woman to administer several injections and pour a few jars of medicine. Jiu Niang snorted, and the whole person was going to smell bad to death.

"Why don't we go to the hot springs?" Fuso didn't know what to think.

As soon as these words came out, they both Jiu Niang and Jiang Nu felt itchy in their hearts. (To be continued......)
