Chapter 403: The Origin of the Secret Recipe for Chrysanthemum Wine

Because he slept late, when Zhou Yu woke up the next morning, Liu Qingshan had already finished feeding the animals and poultry on the mountain and was making breakfast in the kitchen.

The breakfast was very light, and the two of them had a big bowl of shredded noodles with eggs and meat, but the chef was the chef, and the ordinary bowl of noodles was also made very fragrant, and Zhou Yu drank all the soup at all. Seeing that he hadn't eaten enough, Chef Liu allocated half of his own big bowl to him, and Zhou Yu was full.

After breakfast, Zhou Yu took the big jar where the handwriting was found last night outside, wanting to see if the words on it could be seen in broad daylight, but Zhou Yu couldn't find the handwriting on it at all without touching it with his hands.

Zhou Yu guessed what kind of process this thing might have used, and it couldn't be seen in strong light and dark places, so he carried the wine jar to the car, and then carried the paper that he copied last night and drove down the mountain.

Liu Qingshan followed behind him, the more he looked at it, the more puzzled he became, there was not much chrysanthemum wine in the jar, what was the second dog doing down the mountain with a jar?

So he asked, "Ergouzi, what are you doing in a hurry to pull the jar down the mountain early in the morning?" ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, he quickly patted his head and complained to himself, he really had to tell his eldest uncle about this, otherwise it would be bad if he knew that there was a gap in his heart in the future. Although this matter needs to be kept secret now, the eldest uncle is definitely a trustworthy person. So I told Liu Qingshan about last night's events as they were.

Chef Liu trembled with excitement when he heard this, as a famous chef in Qingshan County, he knew the value of this chrysanthemum wine, if there was a recipe and brewing process, Ergouzi could build his own winery to make wine, if such a fine wine was continuously supplied to the market, how much profit would it be?

Thinking of this, Chef Liu couldn't stop it. Hurriedly urged Zhou Yu to go down the mountain, of course, he had to follow. It's no wonder that you can stay in the mountains when you encounter such an important matter. So the father and son drove back to the village.

Although a small western-style building has been built, some furniture and bedding have not yet been completed. So Zhou Dingguo still lives in the original old house.

When Zhou Yu and Liu Qingshan entered the courtyard, Wang Guilan was standing by the pigsty to feed the pigs, and when she saw that the two of them came back early in the morning, she asked with some surprise: "Brother-in-law, Xiaoyu, why did you two go down the mountain so early?" By the way, have you had breakfast? Why don't I order you some noodles? ”

Zhou Yu shook his head and asked anxiously, "Mom, what about my dad and my grandfather?" ”

"Are you looking for them? Oh, it seems that you are walking around the corner of the new house, you two are in a hurry, right? You wait, Mom will go and get them back. After speaking, Wang Guilan took off her apron and trotted out of the gate.

After that, Zhou Yu asked Liu Qingshan to look after the house. I drove straight to the third uncle's house.

Ten minutes later, Taigong, Wang Yunhai, Liu Qingshan, Wang Guilan and Zhou Dingguo's brothers were all sitting on the kang, except for Liu Qingshan, these people looked at Zhou Yu directly, and couldn't understand why this kid was so excited.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhou Yu ran to the gate and carried the wine jar from the car to the upper courtyard, then plugged in the door and ran back to the house.

The elders sat on the kang with big eyes and stared at each other, and the old lady finally couldn't help but ask: "I said, Ergouzi, what kind of crazy are you?" What are you doing when you call us all into the house in broad daylight and plug the door shut? Those who don't know the way still think that our family has dug up some treasure, and I'm afraid that people will know about it. ”

"Hehe, Taigong is Taigong, as soon as this is said, I guess that I can't leave ten, isn't it just to get a treasure?"

"Get out of here, pull it off. Isn't that nonsense, you kid? In the past two hundred years, there has not even been a landlord in Zhoujia Village, where is the treasure? Don't fool yourself and get down to business. "Zhou Dingguo is a hundred people who don't believe in his son's words.

"Oh Dad, we can't be too cheesy. Why do you have to think about gold and silver treasures when I talk about treasures? Couldn't it be something else?

Okay, don't be angry, I'll tell you, I couldn't sleep last night and went out to drink with the jar of wine......"

Zhou Yu told his family about last night's events again. These people are stupid, how can they encounter such a bizarre thing?

So the old lady urged: "Two dogs." What about wine jars? Why don't you hurry up and bring it to us? ”

Zhou Yu hurriedly walked out of the house and brought in the wine jar.

The wine jar was placed on the kang, and everyone didn't find anything abnormal no matter how they looked at it. I saw that the faces of my father and third uncle were getting darker and darker. Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Third uncle, you go and help me close the curtains, you must make it tight, it can't be transparent." Dad, you can find a cloth to block the door and leave a small crack. ”

Seeing that Zhou Yu didn't seem to be joking, and giving him a guts, this kid didn't dare to joke with so many people at the same time, so Zhou Dingbang and Zhou Dingguo did so.

When the light in the room dimmed, the surface of the jar changed, and the originally smooth surface emitted dense traces, and the discerning person knew at a glance that those dense traces represented Chinese characters.

Wang Yunhai excitedly stretched out his thin big hand and touched it, felt the slight word marks, and couldn't help but sigh: "Our ancestors are really amazing, a wine jar can have such exquisite skills, you can't see the words on it during the day and the night, and you can only see it in the dark, it's really amazing!"

By the way, Xiaoyu, you said you copied all these words? Hurry up and show us. ”

At this time, Zhou Dingbang opened the curtains again, and the room became bright again, Zhou Yu took out the paper from his coat pocket and handed it to his grandfather, and everyone also gathered around to see what was going on.

Others just looked at it, but Wang Yunhai and the old lady looked at it more and more excitedly, and when they saw that the last two old men were Ha Lu and Ha Da Lu smiled, the old lady said excitedly and loudly: "Yunhai, this matter is done, and in the future, our grandfather and son can be full of chrysanthemum wine." ”

"Hehe, Uncle is right, as long as we have this recipe and process, don't we have as much as we want? If we brew too much, we can still sell it, how can such a good wine cost dozens of dollars a catty, right? It's an absolute treasure! ”

The others couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw the two old men say this, and Zhou Yu asked excitedly: "Grandpa, grandpa, is this really the recipe and brewing process of chrysanthemum wine?" ”

Wang Yunhai stroked his beard and said with a smile on his face: "Xiao Yu, this time you have found a treasure, and the paper you copied is the recipe and brewing method of chrysanthemum wine."

It turns out that this chrysanthemum wine is made by the Qing Dynasty Daoguang people, people are wine-making families, not good for others but the wine liking, determined to make peerless wine. So he went away to find and test the method of winemaking, and after more than ten years, the winemaking technique reached the extreme.

But when others reached middle age, the family changed dramatically, and was persecuted by the government at that time, so he had no choice but to take his family away from home to avoid trouble, and when he passed by Phoenix Mountain, he was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery here, and he found that there was a water curtain cave on the side of Sun Island, so he took his family to live in the cave temporarily.

As mentioned earlier, this person is a master from a winemaking family, when he saw the chrysanthemums all over the mountain and drank the water of the Moon Lake, he was overjoyed, and used an ancient recipe to improve it, and combined with more than ten years of winemaking experience, he finally studied the recipe of chrysanthemum wine, which made a peerless chrysanthemum wine......

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, just when he was enjoying the mountains and forests every day, a close friend came to deliver a letter, saying that the opponent had found out his whereabouts, and someone would be sent to get him in a few days. There was no choice but to continue to flee with his family. It's just that before leaving, these fine wines couldn't bear to break, so they all sank to the bottom of the lake.

At the same time, he also has an extravagant hope in his heart, that is, he hopes that future generations can get the recipe of chrysanthemum wine and let it be passed on, because it is a pity that such a good wine is lost. So he carved the recipe and craft of winemaking on three jars, in order to be insured, he adopted a carving technique passed down from the ancestors, and the other party salvaged these chrysanthemum wine from the lake and could not find the recipe on it, and at the same time hoped that future generations of people who were destined to get the secret recipe to pass on the chrysanthemum wine......"

Speaking of this, Wang Yunhai took a breath, and then continued with some emotion: "Xiaoyu, I have to say that you are really blessed, you actually found the recipe for chrysanthemum wine by mistake, with this recipe, our family doesn't have to worry about food and clothing." ”

Everyone listened to Wang Yunhai finish the story like listening to a book from heaven, this is Wang Yunhai, if Zhou Yu or Zhou Hu said this, it is estimated that Zhou Dingbang and his brothers would not believe it if they were killed, after all, this matter is too bizarre.

Zhou Dingguo grinned happily at this time, and said to Wang Yunhai with a smile: "Dad, we have this recipe, and we can get the raw materials, but what's the matter with the winemaker?" You name it, I'll buy it. ”

The old lady shook his head at this time and said with some solemnity: "Dingguo, it's really useless for you to buy this thing, because the master has pointed out that it is not possible to use gold utensils to brew chrysanthemum wine, and you must use pottery casting wine-making equipment, otherwise the taste of the wine will change."

Oh yes, the gold of those days is the metal of today. And people are very kind, and they also left a method of firing utensils in this recipe, but maybe because of the tight time, the size and appearance of those drinking utensils were not said, what do you say about this thing? Taigong shook his head with some regret.

"Uncle, aren't you looking? Since we can't get the original sake brewing equipment, let's explore it slowly, even if the brewed wine tastes less, it is a rare wine. ”

When the old lady heard this, he smiled and said: "You can still see the sea of clouds, the old man is really in love this time, too, there are recipes and processes, and we are afraid that we will not be able to make peerless chrysanthemum wine?" Ergouzi, call your fifth master when you catch up with Ming'er, Dingguo and Dingbang also come over to help, let's study and study it well and strive for a success. The old lady said proudly.
