Outside the city, in a secluded alley, "Master! ”

A crisp call, reflecting a flower-like smile, brought vitality to this dead courtyard.

"Hehe, but it's raining?" Looking at Hu Shijiu's slightly wet sideburns, the old man asked with a smile.

"No," Hu Shijiu replied with a grin, a pair of big eyes shining on his red face.

The rain came and went quickly, and Hu Shijiu was anxious to come over, so when there were still scattered raindrops in the sky, she rushed out of the drunkard building.

Is this kid running all the way again?

Running to work, running to work, running to this cold courtyard, this child, always seems to have inexhaustible strength, flashing her bright eyes, curious and happy to look at the world.

I don't know what kind of poor family can have such an optimistic and carefree child.

The old man decided to go to Hu Shijiu's house in a few days to see if he could help.

"Master, is it still practicing to recognize the road today?"

Although, with his sense of smell, Hu Shijiu will never make a mistake in the secret passage, but if he has to stop and tell the direction every time, this seems to be a short pause, but it will one day become a major matter of human life when the gate is opened to release water.

Therefore, the old man must train Hu Shijiu to rely on his memory, and even with intuition, to walk this secret path unimpeded, like a flat road.

So, before the old man could speak, Hu Shijiu strode towards the house that had been abandoned for a long time......

When a wisp of cold incense filled the air, behind the dilapidated door, Hu Shijiu's pointed face poked out.

"Master!" She twitched her nose slightly, her face full of frustration, "I'm late again......"

The old man smiled and beckoned Hu Shijiu to come over, Hu Shijiu drooped his head, and just walked to the stone table under the tree, she stared at the table in surprise, as if she saw something incredible, and quickly turned her head to look at the old man.

"The third Hanmei, I just washed it." The old man nodded and gave Hu Shijiu an affirmative reply.

Just flushed!

Hu Nineteen cheered, jumped on the spot, and almost hit the stone table.

"Master! I did it! ”

"Yes!" As if infected by Hu Shijiu's joy, the old man couldn't help but redden his eyes slightly.

Hanmei, in the ice and snow forest, different peaches and plums are mixed with fragrant dust.

This tea needs to be brewed with a special technique every time, and it has a very strict time. Therefore, looking at the Drunkard Building, and even the entire Langjing, the only person who can brew this tea is Xu Qing, the shopkeeper of the Drunkard Building.

And the silent and quiet Jiu'er is currently only staying in the imitation of conformism, as the so-called "painting the skin of the tiger is difficult to draw the bones", but it is difficult to understand the essence for a while.

Others, such as Sun Wu and others, don't even see the creation of this tea on weekdays.

The first few times, whenever Hu Shijiu came out, the old man had already drunk three cold plums. And today, the third Hanmei has just been washed!

The difference is self-evident.

"Master, I didn't run in the secret passage! I use 'go'. Hu Shijiu deliberately accentuated his tone and said a little proudly.

"Oh? Why? ”

"Because," Hu Shijiu was about to paint a vivid description, but suddenly thought of something, and his expression gradually became gloomy, "Because...... If there is a day when the light in the secret passage is very dark, and there are many people in the cellar, what if ...... Everybody runs, somebody gets hurt......"

May that day never come.

If the hundreds of men in the cellar were running chaotically in that narrow passage, perhaps, before they could get out of the passage, they would fall down or even be trampled on, and the consequences would be unimaginable......

Hu Shijiu shook his head violently, that scene was too tragic to imagine.

"In this way, time is enough." The old man didn't notice Hu Shijiu's abnormality, but just put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the hut leading to the underground wine cellar with a distracted look.

The old man had walked through the secret passage of the wine cellar several times, and it was nearly an hour because there was a special person to guide him at that time. According to his calculations, if the sluice gate is opened to release water, it will take at least four hours when the water fills the cellar.

At this time, Hu Shijiu went back and forth, and Hanmei had just made the third lamp, so there was more than enough time.

The old man groaned, silently recalled it in his heart, and nodded with satisfaction, but found that Hu Jiu was also looking at the room leading to the secret passage with great concentration, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Nineteen," called the old man, "for the master to teach you the method of making wine, you must listen carefully." ”

Every time Hu Shijiu entered the secret passage, her mood was like entering it for the first time, such a well-conceived tunnel, such a magnificent wine cellar, this is all the master's painstaking efforts. Although the master ordered her to practice recognizing the way, Hu Shijiu had different plans. She was secretly thinking about her own strategy, but she heard the master's words mention "brewing"!

All of a sudden, there seemed to be a light shining through the thick clouds and reaching Hu Shijiu's eyes.

"Winemaking?" Could it be that I was too eager for it, so I had auditory hallucinations?

"Winemaking." The old man said.

"Winemaking!" Hu Shijiu's gaze instantly shifted from the hut to the old man's face, and her eyes widened, as if she wanted to confirm that what she had just heard was true and valid.

The old man's expression was still solemn, but there was a faint smile in his eyes.

"Yes, yes, master, master." Hu Shijiu stammered, "What should I do?" Master, please be seated. ”

She wiped the stone pier next to the old tree with her sleeve.

Looking at Hu Shijiu, who did not match the preface, the old man shook his head slightly. This time, it made Hu Shijiu even more nervous.

She stood up straight, clutching her sleeve with her hands.

This kid will be like this when he is nervous......

The old man slowly sat down opposite the old tree and motioned for Hu Shijiu to sit down as well.

Hu Nineteen was well-behaved, sat down upright, and stared at the old man intently.

"Nineteen, what are you doing here?" Hu Shijiu's demeanor as if he was facing a great enemy made the old man a little helpless.

"Back to Master. Nineteen is learning to make wine. Hu Jiu looked at the old man intently.

The old man was stunned and couldn't help laughing.

"Silly boy, if you stare at me, can you know the method of brewing?"

Under the old man's warm smile, Hu Shijiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression relaxed a little.

"Come here."

Hu Shijiu hurriedly walked to the old man's side.

"Nineteen, what is wine?"

Wine?

"It's just delicious water...... Hu Shijiu suddenly thought of the old fox's description of "wine" in the world when he was in Fox Mountain.

She blurted out, but quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

"Hehe, hehe......" The old man didn't expect Hu Shijiu to give such a simple and straightforward answer.

Although these words are childish, there is some truth in them.

The old man stood up and pointed in the direction of the wine cellar, his expression was solemn and proud, "Nineteen, remember--Xu family wine, there is affection and spirit." ”
