178 Strange scent
Finally making new sake?
Zhang Heng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Brother Lu, new wine, can it be released tonight?" ”
The work of Xia Weitang, Liangshi Spring, and water transportation is progressing smoothly, but most of them are Lu Ting taking an idea, explaining a direction, and then executing it by the people below, the winery is the most important job for Lu Ting, and the work of selecting the location of the winery, buying and making wine, and keeping it confidential are all taken care of by Lu Ting alone, this is the first time Zhang Heng has seen Lu Ting do things so seriously.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a secret winery, and even Zhang Heng can't enter it.
It is definitely not easy to make Lu Ting take it so seriously, Zhang Heng is full of expectations for the winery.
"Yes, wait." Lu Ting said confidently.
When the reservoir was still being built, Lu Ting brewed a lot of rice wine in a natural big stone cave on Liangshi Mountain, and after a few days of fermentation, the wine had been successfully brewed, and now what he had to do was to purify the wine.
Huaxia liquor can be traced back to the Xia Dynasty or even earlier, the brewing technology has long been not a secret, ordinary people can also brew and drink at home, whether it is good or not depends on technology, there are many famous wines in the Tang Dynasty, Yingzhou's rich water, Wucheng's Ruoxia, Xingyang's soil cave spring, Fuping's stone frozen spring, Jiannan's burning spring, as well as jade shallot, koji rice spring, old spring, pine mash spring, pear blossom spring, bamboo leaf wine, osmanthus, Yichun wine, Xuanhua alcohol, mulberry wine, Wuyun pulp, tulip and so on, there are many varieties.
Lu Ting investigated and found that there was a lot of good wine, but unfortunately the Tang Dynasty did not have the purification technology, the degree of the wine was about the same as that of the beer of later generations, and the color and smell were also unsatisfactory.
Now it's different, with Liangshi Mountain, the location and materials, the expansion of Xia Weitang, and Li Er also got a liquor brewing license for Wuyitang, which can be brewed and sold, just to show his strength.
"Okay, I'm not going to leave tonight." Zhang Heng said decisively.
The two chatted a few more words, and then divided the labor and cooperated, Lu Ting went to the winery to make wine, and Zhang Heng went to see the progress of the craftsman repairing the water wheel.
Xue Wanche said, make the water inlet a little bigger, and you can see the inside clearly after opening the lid, so that you don't have to stretch out anything to check, so as not to get dirty with the mountain spring water.
Zhang Heng is a person who does what he says, and after a while of entering the carpenter's room, he heard him loud, as if he was dissatisfied with the progress of the craftsman's rectification, Lu Ting shook his head, and prepared to go to the winery to purify the liquor and steam out the first bottle of distilled liquor in the Tang Dynasty.
As soon as he took two steps, Lu Ting stopped, and his gaze fell on a large stone next to him.
The big stone is nothing special, especially since there is a person next to it, Ren Zhenhai, who is leaning on the stone and drinking wine with a wine gourd in his hand.
According to the agreement, Chilian Niang She Siniang and the murder weapon Ren Zhenhai protected Lu Ting for three years, Lu Ting found that Chi Niang and his wife rarely appeared together, usually taking turns to protect themselves, Ren Zhenhai was here, and I don't know where Siniang went.
As soon as he saw Ren Zhenhai, Lu Ting's eyes lit up, and he walked over with a smile and said, "Brother Ren, what about Siniang?" ”
"It's none of your business." Ren Zhenhai didn't raise his head, and said with a pity.
As if Lu Ting was not worth his mouth.
Lu Ting said with some expectation: "Brother Ren, can you think about the matter of accepting apprentices, I will cover all the wine you drink in the future." ”
Ren Zhenhai glanced up at Lu Ting, his eyes were a little impatient, and he suddenly dodged, and quickly disappeared on the back of the stone.
actually left directly, without even a polite word.....
Lu Ting's face was a little embarrassed, he rubbed his nose, and left with a wry smile.
Seeing that the chaos was coming, Lu Ting felt that his skills were too poor, not to mention being a big hero and a big ranger, it is estimated that self-protection is a problem, and he has always wanted to find a master to learn some self-defense skills, Lu Ting consulted Zhang Heng, Zhang Heng said that there are many masters in Wuyitang, but most of them are battlefield skills, which are the kind of killing skills that are suitable for large-scale coordinated operations, it is best to practice on the battlefield, and the most suitable thing to teach Lu Ting is the murder weapon Ren Zhenhai in the world.
It is said that Ren Zhenhai has a family tradition of martial arts, and has also worshiped many famous teachers, he has combined a variety of martial arts, and created a set of exercises suitable for himself.
What made Lu Ting's heart move the most, Zhang Heng said that Ren Zhenhai had an internal breathing technique, which could be cultivated both internally and externally, strengthening the body and enhancing combat effectiveness, when he used to fight with him, after a tough battle, others were so tired that they collapsed on the ground and didn't want to move, but Ren Zhenhai was still alive and well, relying on that set of internal breathing techniques.
Breathing? Could it be the legendary internal strength?
Lu Ting showed favor to Ren Zhenhai many times, hoping that he could accept him as an apprentice, but Ren Zhenhai was so entangled that he only said "I'm old, my muscles and bones are average, I don't have a foundation, and my time is wasted", and then I didn't respond, even if it was useless to take the lady's route.
Chilian Niang She Siniang said that she did not object to Lu Ting's apprenticeship, but her husband's temper was very stubborn, so she could only work Lu Ting's own.
Failed again.
When Ren Zhenhai was leaning under the big tree and drinking, She Siniang came over with a smile, and said as she walked: "Husband, is Director Lu pestering you to learn art again?" ”
Seeing that it was his wife, Ren Zhenhai shook his head with a wry smile: "He is not material for learning martial arts." ”
"It's very interesting for the slave family to look at him, why don't you teach him a few tricks to defend himself?" She Siniang persuaded.
At first, She Siniang didn't look down on Lu Ting, but she reluctantly agreed because of Zhang Heng's face, but she didn't expect to get along well, and the degree of food and clothing can be said to be no different from Lu Ting, Lu Ting not only sent pomegranates to wait, but also gave gifts to She Siniang every once in a while, and it was not a valuable gift, but mostly some delicate gouache, silk and satin that he didn't know where he came from.
Don't really say it, She Siniang will eat him.
Ren Zhenhai shook his head resolutely: "If you don't teach, you won't teach, you have to learn self-defense, just find Zhang Heng." ”
"Okay, whatever you want." She Siniang's own husband is a well-known stubborn temper, and the nine cows can't turn back on what he decides, and they no longer persuade them, but the two husbands and wives stay together quietly.
A lot of things, pay attention to a word.
Time flies quickly, and before you know it, the sun is setting and the sun is waning.
Suddenly, Ren Zhenhai's nose moved, as if he smelled something, and the whole person suddenly moved, took a deep breath, and said with a look of surprise: "This... What does it taste like? ”
"I guess it's Mei Niang who is making something delicious, Lu Ting has hired a good cook." She Siniang replied casually.
The Lu family is a master of Lu Ting, wherever Lu Ting goes, Mei Niang will follow, thanks to Lu Ting's blessing, She Siniang has eaten a lot of good things, and it is almost dinner time, and now there is an attractive smell of food floating in Liangshi Mountain.
No, it has been less than a month since she protected Lu Ting, and her waist has grown flesh, so She Siniang silently increased the time for practicing martial arts every day by half an hour.
"Hey, no" She Siniang's brows furrowed, and she said in surprise: "This is the aroma of wine, strange, what kind of wine is so strong and mellow, is it..."
Neither husband nor wife spoke, but turned their gaze to the newly built winery.
