Hu Die coldly hooked the corners of his lips and turned his head to look at Hongyuan: "I never knew that you were also such a person." ”

Willing to be used by Soho, knowing whether it was to be used, or rushing forward like a moth to a fire, just to take a look at Hu Die's surprised face?

It's ridiculous.

"Hongyuan, Sister Butterfly treats you well, why are you ......" As soon as Qing'er opened her mouth, she was glared at by Hongyuan viciously. Stunned, Qing'er lowered her face suddenly.

Only then did Honglu smile: "Sister Die, whether you treat me well or not, you and I know it." It's just that what kind of person I am, I don't have to judge my sister. ”

Hu Die sneered, and finally just nodded and invited Honglu out.

Qing'er turned her head to look at Hu Die, a little uneasy: "Sister Die? ”

"I'm fine. Qing'er, now it's inconvenient for me to go to Jiuxiang anymore, you go over there and inquire carefully, what's going on. Hu Die frowned.

Qing'er nodded, glanced at Hu Die, and silently retreated.

Hu Die's brows furrowed tightly, as if he couldn't figure it out.

At this time, the aroma of wine was cloudy on everyone's face.

Especially Jiuniang.

She couldn't figure out what was wrong, why after so many days, the brewed things still smelled strange. Not to mention the aroma of hops, there is not even a hint of alcohol.

Crushing, gelatinization, wort filtration, high-temperature boiling, clarification and cooling, adding yeast for fermentation......

It stands to reason that there should be no problem.

Jiuniang frowned and circled around the green jade porcelain bottle several times.

Fusang sighed: "Senior sister, forget it, we can ...... again"

Jiuniang frowned and interrupted Fusang's words: "How can you forget it?" Something must have gone wrong, it must be ......"

"Jiu Niang, think about it." Gu Huacheng sighed, stepped forward and patted Jiuniang's shoulder, and glanced at Fusang. He glanced at Fuso.

Fusang frowned and looked at Jiuniang for a while before sighing and following Gu Huacheng away.

Jiang Nu stepped forward and pulled Jiu Niang's sleeve: "Senior sister, let's go back first." ”

"You go back yourself, I'll have to think about it." Jiu Niang smiled reluctantly at Jiang Nu.

Jiang Nu nodded helplessly, and walked away step by step.

Crushing, gelatinization, wort filtration, high-temperature boiling......

Jiu Niang frowned, and walked around the wine pool again, with some crushed barley piled up on the side. Jiuniang frowned, and suddenly wanted to do it again. Anyway, until the work before fermentation, one person can do it.

Add the crushed barley to the pot. Add warm water and boil slowly. Jiuniang frowned while adding firewood and thought about what went wrong, knowing that there was a burst of wheat fragrance coming from the pot, Jiuniang suddenly came back to her senses and immediately extinguished the fire. I brought a bucket of water from the side, covered it with a filter cloth, and strained the wort out.

After that, I went to get the hops.

When she was about to throw the hop flower into the pot, Jiu Niang suddenly stopped for a moment.

If you do that, it won't change from before. And all this, if there is something wrong. Then it can only be ......

Jiu Niang's eyes fell on the filtered wort, and her brows were about to twist out a small pimple. Gritting her teeth, Jiu Niang poured the wort back into the clean pot and re-ignited the fire. Waiting for the wort to start gurgling and bubbling, Jiu Niang threw another bag of hops into it. After that, he stared at the pot in a daze.

When Qing'er entered the door, she saw Jiuniang standing in the courtyard with her brows tightly locked, as if she was very decadent.

"Jiuniang girl." Qing'er was stunned. I still couldn't help but call Jiu Niang.

Jiuniang turned around, looked at Qing'er and was stunned for a while before asking, "Hu Die asked you to come?" What happened to her? ”

Qing'er nodded: "Sister Die asked me to come." Sister Die is afraid that she won't be able to come these days. But Miss Jiuniang doesn't have to worry, Sister Butterfly didn't come because she didn't want to be too proud of Hongmo, and Mama didn't feel sorry for Sister Die. ”

Jiuniang nodded, Qing'er is an understanding person. It's just: "So what did you come to me for?" ”

"I've heard you've failed, what has failed? Sister Die is also very concerned about this, so she asked me to inquire. Qing'er lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye.

Jiuniang sighed: "The brewed wine failed." ”

"Serious?" Qing'er frowned.

Jiuniang looked at Qing'er and shook her head: "It's not very serious, you go back, don't let Hu Die worry too much." ”

Qing'er nodded, she was not very good at communicating with people, not to mention that she and Jiu Niang were not very familiar. Nodding and walking a few steps outside, Qing'er was stopped by Jiu Niang again.

"Hu Die can't come out, but what's the trouble? Qing'er, you should know that she cares about me, and I care about her too, so you'd better be honest with me. Jiuniang looked at Qing'er and frowned slightly, but the words she said were with a soft smile.

Qing'er pursed her lips, lowered her head and thought for a while, and then told Jiuniang about Hu Die and Hongzhi.

Jiuniang nodded, and said to Qing'er: "You wait a while." So he went to the wine cellar, took two jars of drunken immortal wine, and handed them to Qing'er, "Take this back, I don't believe that the wine given by Soho can compare to our drunken immortal wine." ”

The wine given by Soho is naturally not comparable.

After all, the drunken immortal wine has not been circulated in the market, and the last time Hu Die brought the drunken immortal wine back, he has been praised by his grandmother for a long time.

As soon as Qing'er heard that the wine given by Jiu Niang was a drunken immortal, she immediately ran back with two jars of wine in her arms.

Jiuniang smiled and watched Qing'er run away, and didn't forget to tell behind her: "Slow down." ”

Turning his head, he saw Gu Huacheng standing not far away with his hands behind his back, looking at him expressionlessly.

Jiuniang was stunned for a moment, rubbed her hands and lowered her head a little embarrassed, but suddenly remembered the wine in the pot. Hurriedly went over to clean up and extinguish the fire, and Gu Huacheng sighed over there and stepped forward to take a hand.

Gu Huacheng's slender hand stretched out, glanced at Jiu Niang, and sighed: "Still don't give up?" ”

"Hmm." Jiu Niang nodded loudly.

Gu Huacheng glanced at Jiu Niang, reached out and touched Jiu Niang's head: "You should know why I didn't believe you before becoming a teacher, right?" Not because I don't trust you, but because I know your craft of winemaking. Jiu Niang, I like you, but it's one thing to like you, and it's another thing to be able to let you do it. Let alone. This matter is related to the reputation of our wine. ”

Jiuniang nodded: "I know everything, I just ...... Master, I am not reconciled. ”

"What are you unwilling to do? You are only a teenager, a teenage girl can make excellent wine, so many years, I have only seen one ......" Speaking of this, Gu Huacheng suddenly shut up and stopped talking.

Jiu Niang turned her head and glanced at Gu Huacheng, and curled the corners of her mouth: "Master has only seen one for so many years?" Jade Jiao Niang? But Master Yu Jiaoniang can have such a ability because your master teaches him well. Why doesn't Master believe that he can teach me well? ”

Gu Huacheng frowned. It seemed that this question was difficult to answer, and after thinking for a while, Gu Huacheng sighed: "Jiu Niang, it's not that the teacher doesn't believe you, it's just ...... the teacher."

"Master, if this time, it still doesn't work, I will definitely live in peace. It's just that I didn't try to the end, how do you tell me to be willing? Jiu Niang interrupted Gu Huacheng's words and paused. Only then did he look at Gu Huacheng and asked, "Over the years, you have never believed me, so why do you still say you like it?" Is it true that your men's faith is so great? Can you say that you like it, but at the same time you are full of infinite doubts about yourself? Master, you know that there are many criticisms of the world for the love between master and apprentice. But you still said you liked it. But what about after that? Have you really thought about the rest of the story? In the past, Hu Die told me that I still don't believe ......."

Jiu Niang said this. The small bowl of wort boiled with hops was put into a green jade porcelain bottle, fermented with yeast, and then sealed the bottle and brought it back to his room.

And in this issue, Gu Huacheng didn't say anything.

Jiu Niang, who returned to the room, threw herself on the bed and buried herself deeply in the quilt, a little empty. In fact, what is my persistence for? Why does she sometimes feel like she can't figure it out?

He frowned and thought for a long time, until Jiang Nu came and knocked on the door.

Jiu Niang crawled out of the quilt, grabbed a handful of unkempt hair, and Jiu Niang got out of bed and opened the door.

Jiang Nu glanced into the room with some concern and asked, "Senior sister, what's wrong with you?" I haven't moved for so long. ”

"Oh? Is it? Didn't you just call me? Jiuniang frowned, not remembering that someone called her before.

Jiang Nu frowned: "Senior brother said that he called you three times, but he didn't rush in, but he was still worried about Senior Sister, so he asked me to knock on the door." ”

Jiuniang grabbed her hair, glanced at the sky outside, and began to wonder if she had fallen asleep before, why did she think that it was only a moment later, and the sky was already a little dark?

"Senior sister, are you okay?" Jiang Nu stretched out her hand and shook her head in front of Jiu Niang's eyes.

Jiuniang suddenly came back to her senses and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

"Shall we go to dinner then?" Jiang Nu smiled at Jiu Niang, but her smile was still mixed with a little worry.

Jiu Niang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that if she followed Jiang Nu to eat like this now, she would inevitably have to look at Gu Huacheng's icy face, as well as the inquiring eyes of the retest. couldn't help but shiver all over her body, Jiu Niang waved her hand at Jiang Nu: "What, I suddenly remembered that Qing'er came to tell me that Hu Die was looking for me today, you eat first, I'll go find Hu Die." Don't wait for me......"

After Jiuniang finished speaking, she ran out of the door as if she was running away, and kept looking behind her as if she felt a little uneasy when she went out.

Sure that no one chased it out, Jiu Niang patted her chest as if she was very relieved, and when she lowered her head, she found that she had forgotten to bring her purse. Could it be that you really want to go to Fenghualou to find Hu Die? You must know that she just said it casually, can't God not take what she says so seriously?

In frustration, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "What, Jiu Niang, you have been kicked out?" (To be continued......)
