Chapter Seventy-Six: The Cheats

"Qin Jiuzheng?" Qu Gang stiffened his voice and amplified it a little, Hu Shijiu didn't think anything of it, but saw that the guy in the wine cellar immediately changed his face.

"Long-winded!" Behind the screen, "Qin Jiuzheng" sounded sleepy.

Qu Gang immediately silenced and took a step back, and the guy immediately lowered his waist.

Hu Shijiu stood behind them inexplicably, this is nothing more than entering the palace to meet the emperor, right?

Seeing that among the two boys, the younger one was biting his fingers and looking at them with a grin, Qu Gang and the guy also felt more and more embarrassed, but they couldn't go, and they couldn't stay.

The older boy seemed to be accustomed to them, and put on a demeanor like an old monk who had nothing else at all.

"Steward, let's go first." The "Qin Jiuzheng" behind the screen doesn't seem to wake up for a while. Hu Shijiu really couldn't figure out why the three of them had to wait here stupidly.

Qu Gang didn't seem to expect Hu Shijiu to suddenly speak, he was like he was frightened, and he was just about to wave his hand desperately to stop Hu Shijiu from opening his mouth at will. At this time, behind the screen, a wrinkled, somewhat yellowed book suddenly threw out.

"It's kind of a bit of eyesight, take it back, and come back when you're familiar with it."

That "Qin Jiuzheng" seems to have woken up a long time ago.

Hu Shijiu suppressed his desire to go behind the screen to see the true face, only to see Qu Gang take three steps and two steps, quickly walked to the screen, and lightly picked up the shabby and old book.

"Thank you Qin Jiuzheng." I don't know where that book came from, so Qu Gang couldn't hide his excitement, and he couldn't stop saluting while holding the book.

"It's not for you. Let's go. I'm going to smoke you all over my old man's place. Behind the screen, there was an impatient voice of "Qin Jiuzheng".

"Yes, yes, yes!" Qu Gang agreed repeatedly, and dragged the cellar guy who was still in a daze, "Don't go quickly!" ”

The man was dragged by him like a dream, and followed him out in a panic.

When the two of them passed by Hu Nineteen, "Nineteen brothers! Qu Gang couldn't hide his joy, he was just about to say something to Hu Shijiu.

At this time, a cough sounded behind the screen, and Qu Gang immediately took the book in his arms and pulled Hu Shijiu out.

It wasn't until Qu Gang took Hu Shijiu to the hall at the entrance of the wine cellar again that he carefully took out the old book from his arms.

Qu Gang held the book in his hand and presented it to Hu Nineteen, his face was full of envy, and he couldn't stop rubbing: "Brother Nineteen, you have to put it away!" ”

Hu Shijiu took the book in a daze, and was just about to open it, only to see Qu Gang immediately turn his back, and as if he couldn't control himself, he couldn't help but look back at the seemingly ordinary book in his hand.

"Qu Guan, why don't you watch it first?" It's just a book, and Hu Shijiu thinks it's a bit of a fuss.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Qu Gang hurriedly waved his hand and stood a little farther away, as if the book had a magic that he couldn't resist.

Even looking at his back, Hu Nineteen could feel his "thirst for knowledge" mood, Hu Nineteen's eyes rolled around, "Or," she walked to Qu Gang's side, "Let's watch together?" ”

Qu Gang said "don't dare", but his eyes kept looking at the book, "This, is this okay?" ”

"Yes! If there is anything I don't understand, I still have to ask the Qu steward! Hu Jiu said with a smile.

"In this case, then I'll accompany you to see it." Hu Shijiu's suggestion was right in Qu Gang's arms, and Qu Gang couldn't help but smile.

He sat in front of the desk with Hu Shijiu, and as soon as Hu Shijiu opened the book, a burst of dust was raised.

"Cough, cough ......" This Qin Lao'er is too unparticular, Qu Gang secretly slandered in his heart.

At the same time, there is an indescribable smell in the book, which seems to be musty and earthy. Thinking that he was still in his arms like a treasure just now, Qu Gang's stomach couldn't help but churn.

He endured the disgust, after all, this Qin Lao'er is said to be the chief of the wine officials of the court of the previous dynasty, and even the shopkeeper who occasionally comes has to give him three points of thin noodles and call him "Qin Jiuzheng".

It is rumored that this "Qin Jiuzheng", who came from a large background, did not know when he began to live in the pine forest of this wine cellar for several years, and Qu Gang counted the number of times he saw him with one hand.

It's just that everyone knows that the best wine in the drunkard building is from this "Qin Jiuzheng". Every New Year's Day, someone will wait in front of the wooden house, and when it is about the time of Shen, a boy will come out of the wooden house with a copper plate, and in the plate, there will be a random cut of paper, on which a few numbers are scrawled.

However, only Qu Gang and a few old guys in the drunken building knew that this was a hard-to-find wine recipe, and it was also one of the reasons why the drunkard building could be praised by all levels in Langjing.

Therefore, Qu Gang firmly believes that it is the wish of every winemaker to be able to get the guidance of this "Qin Jiuzheng".

He watched Hu Nineteen read carefully page by page, and unlike Hu Nineteen's concentration, Qu Gang's face became more and more weird.

"Nineteenth brother, I still have something to do, you can take your time." Qu Gang stood up suddenly, looked at Hu Shijiu, who was almost buried in his book, and said.

Hu Shijiu raised his head in a daze, and found that Qu Gang had already walked to the screen, and was about to step into the corridor and return to the wine cellar.

She asked with some surprise, "Steward Qu, are you leaving?" ”

"Hmm." Qu Gang nodded, opened the door and entered the hallway.

In the hall, there was one less person, and it was suddenly empty.

Hu Shijiu looked at the direction of the screen in puzzlement, she didn't understand why Qu Gang's attitude was always changing rapidly.

She shook her head, and greedily leaned her face to the book.

It's not so much that she's reading, it's better that she's "smelling books".

In addition to the detailed explanation of the knowledge of sake brewing, each chapter of this book uses a special method and has its own flavor.

For example, there is a chapter in the book that mentions the "Immortal Sake Method", which only explains how to preserve the koji and the effectiveness of the sake after making the "Immortal Brew", but does not mention how to make the koji of the sake in a word.

However, Hu Shijiu smelled the smell of "glutinous rice, atractylodes, woody fragrance, angelica......" and so on.

In the next chapter, I mentioned a recipe that "changes the hair and nourishes the qi and blood", but it only explains what should be paid attention to when brewing, and the amount to take every day. However, on that page, there is clearly a strong atmosphere of "glutinous rice, rehmannia and old ginger ......".

How could there be such an amazing book! Hu Shijiu didn't dare to read it too fast, for fear that he would miss any interesting smell, this seemingly ordinary book, in Hu Shijiu's heart, suddenly became a priceless treasure.

On the other side, Qu Gang, who had just passed through the corridor, couldn't help but glance at the pine forest.

"Qin Lao'er", Qu Gang muttered to himself depressedly, thinking that the so-called "Jiuzheng" could throw out some peerless secrets, who would have thought that it was actually a long-winded book that taught how to make wine.

How can there be such a boring book!

He thought disappointed......
