Chapter 15: Making Wine, Choosing Horses
"Come on! Truth? Tell the truth, hurry back and brew! ”
When Ling Xian heard this, he actually waved his hand at the two hundred soldiers behind him, and really left.
Hou Junji was stunned, why did I say that you would leave?
Why didn't I see you so obedient just now?
Looking at Ling Xian's back as he walked away, he actually forgot to continue crying for a while.
Suddenly pointed at Ling Xian's long-disappeared figure and scolded.
"Ling Xian! I hate you! ”
The ministers on the side were all dying of laughter, patting their thighs one by one, rubbing their stomachs, and Wei Chi Jingde even squatted directly on the ground.
"Oh, no, no, grandma, I'm laughing to death."
"Hahahahaha! Hou Junji, you also have today! ”
"Ling Xian, this kid, is a wonderful person! Hahahaha! ”
For a while, the minister, who was originally dissatisfied with Li Erfeng's reward, also became interested in Ling Xian.
……
Listening to the laughter in his ears, Hou Junji couldn't care about crying anymore, and his face turned red.
Fluttering to his feet, he hurriedly left Miyagi and returned to his home.
……
At this time, Ling Xian had already returned home.
I opened the courtyard door, picked up the broom next to the door, swept the dust in front of the door, and then walked into the house.
Looking at the mansion that he hadn't seen for a long time, Ling Xian's heart felt a trace of longing, and at the same time he said to Old Marquis Luo, who was in a daze outside the courtyard.
"Grandpa! Come on in! ”
Old Marquis Luo was immersed in the shock of the grandeur of the mansion at the moment, and when he heard Ling Xian's words, he suddenly came back to his senses, and answered while walking towards the courtyard.
"Huh? Oh, oh okay, I'm coming. ”
Walking to Ling Xian's side, Ling Xian pointed to a room on the side, motioned to Old Marquis Luo to go back to the house to change his clothes, and then walked into the house himself.
After a while, the two men who had removed their armor returned to the courtyard.
Old Marquis Luo pointed to the courtyard and said.
"I said grandson, you are doing well in Chang'an, this mansion, this pomp, I don't think even the courtyards of those big officials in the imperial city are necessarily as big as you."
Smiling, not staying on this topic for too long, Ling Xian said.
"Old man, you go to the hall and sit down first, I'll go and prepare the tools for brewing, the Duke of Lu gave me a hundred gold, I have to brew good wine for others as soon as possible and send it over."
Old Marquis Luo was stunned when he heard this.
"So boy, you're not teasing Hou boy."
Ling Xian's head was full of black lines.
"Do I look so unbelievable?"
Smiling awkwardly, Old Marquis Luo said seriously.
"Hehe... That... That's not it, but this brewing is not an overnight thing, you start brewing now, when will this be sent to Hou Xiaozi. ”
Ling Xian was stunned.
"When did I say I was going to start from scratch?"
Old Marquis Luo was happy.
"How do you brew without starting from scratch? Is it possible to brew rice wine directly? ”
Ling Xian replied seriously.
"yes!"
Uh, this......
Confused.
Completely confused.
"There is still a saying about winemaking? How come I've never heard of it? ”
"If you had heard about it, wouldn't it have been brewed a long time ago?"
"Uh...... This is also a ha, then you brew it, old man, I will also observe and observe by the side. ”
Ling Xian didn't care.
"Feel free."
When he came to the kitchen, he took out the two jars of autumn dew from the cabinet sent by Cheng Yanjin, moved them to the courtyard, and then came to his room and took out the homemade still again.
Looking at the stills placed on the ground in the courtyard, Old Marquis Luo was curious.
"Grandson, what is this thing for?"
Ling Xian opened the stopper at the mouth of the wine jar, smelled the faint aroma of wine, and replied casually.
"Naturally, it's for wine."
"Oh? That's it? ”
Hearing this, Old Marquis Luo stepped forward, knocked left and right, looked at it, was puzzled, and pointed to the distiller and said to Ling Xian.
"You give me a try."
"Okay."
As soon as he said it, Ling Xian rolled up his sleeves, poured a jar of wine into the still, closed the lid, put the firewood at the bottom of the pot, and burned it.
Then I went to the kitchen and moved a large vat and put it in the place where the wine was served.
Clapping his hands, Ling Xian stood up.
"That's it, let's wait for a good drink!"
Old Marquis Luo was about to say something more, but he was pulled up by Ling Xian.
"Leave him alone, let's go shopping together! These two jars of wine are not enough, so let's buy a carriage by the way and bring back a dozen jars of wine. ”
While saying it again, he pulled Old Marquis Luo and walked out of the door.
……
Temple of Manna
The Imperial Study
"Humph! I'm so angry! ”
Li Eryi, who had just returned from the Taiji Palace, sat on the chair and complained.
The eldest grandson queen on the side was pouring Li Er's unique and hard-to-swallow tea for Li Er, and when she saw Li Er's childlike appearance, she couldn't help but chuckle.
When Li Er heard it, he felt even more aggrieved in his heart.
"Guanyin, even you are laughing at me."
Empress Eldest Sun smiled even more happily and replied.
"The concubine is not laughing at Your Majesty, it's just that I haven't seen Your Majesty's angry appearance for a few days, and I'm a little unaccustomed to it."
Li Er was stunned when he heard this.
Anger?
Have it?
Didn't you?
Comforting himself in his heart, Li Er said.
"I'm not angry, it's just that Ling Xian's kid doesn't understand the rules, he doesn't kneel when he receives a holy decree, and he has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, this time he actually said that I am stingy? How unreasonable! ”
When Empress Eldest Sun heard Ling Xian, she was also a little curious.
"Your Majesty, who is this Ling Immortal? You didn't know how to marry him at the beginning, I was still suspicious of him, but now that I look at it, this kid seems to be really outstanding? ”
Hearing this, Li Er's depression was swept away, and he said excitedly.
"This kid is a god! I originally recruited him as a son-in-law just because of Li's liking, but he was completely unqualified in terms of credit, but this time this kid really scared me! ”
"Oh? Your Majesty will tell me about it. ”
Empress Eldest Sun smiled and continued, as the Empress of the Ages, seeing Li Er happy, she would only feel happier.
"This time the Turkic soldiers came to Chang'an, I was about to despair, but just as I was about to let go, Ling Xiaozi suddenly rushed into the Turkic army from the woods with four thousand cavalry."
"Ahh Only four thousand?! ”
"There were only 4,000 people, and I was stunned! I saw a purple armor in the front, a young general wearing a golden crown, a sword in his left hand, a gun in his right hand, slashing left and right, like entering a no-man's land! ”
"Could this young general be Ling Xian?"
"That's right! Until now, I still can't believe it, this kid is so talented, I didn't expect his martial arts to be so strong. ”
"It doesn't seem to be worth it for Your Majesty."
"Yes! The key is that the kid is alone, and he kills Jieli and his thinking power, and the three of Yarji are killed one after another! It's really a great pleasure! ”
Looking at Li Er's smile, Empress Eldest Sun's curiosity about Ling Xian became even stronger at this moment.
Strong in martial arts, outstanding in writing, and caring for the people......
Each of these advantages is commendable, but at the moment it is concentrated on one person, how can it not be curious.
An idea suddenly appeared in Empress Eldest Sun's heart.
And this idea is getting stronger and stronger - call Ling Xian into the palace and take a look at this virtuous son-in-law of himself for himself.
"Then can Your Majesty summon him into the palace and let the concubines take a look?"
Li Er was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed.
"Why not, you can see it in person, I want to see if this kid also has a loving attitude towards you."
……
Ling Xian, who was shopping in the street, didn't know the thoughts of the eldest grandson queen, and at this moment he was pulling the old marquis Luo in the carriage shop.
"Old man, I haven't bought this thing, you have more experience than me, which do you think is better than me?"
"Let me take a good look at the old man......"
After speaking, Old Marquis Luo stepped forward and picked up the horse.
The horse seller on the side saw that Ling Xian and the others were dressed very extraordinarily, and hurriedly came up.
"Two guest officers, let's see if there are any favorite horses?"
Nodding, Ling Xian continued to look at Old Marquis Luo.
I saw Old Marquis Luo looking at it and talking to Ling Xian endlessly.
"This distinguishes the quality of horses, one is to look at the teeth, that is, the age, the second is to look at the bloodline, the third is to see whether the whole body muscle growth and development is symmetrical and strong, the fourth is to see whether it is tame, and finally to see the speed of running, endurance, and bounce."
"If you're of the right age, with a pure pedigree and a lot of muscles, you're basically a good horse."
The horse seller on the side listened to it and praised it again and again.
"I didn't expect this old gentleman to be a man who understands horses."
"Falsely praised."
Ling Xian looked at Old Marquis Luo, staring at a handsome big white horse with his eyes in his eyes.
The horse had thick legs, was very well-proportioned, and had a smooth body, as if it had been oiled, and the oil was shiny. The hairs on the neck hung down in an orderly manner.
Even Ling Xian, an outsider, seemed quite satisfied.
At this time, the voice of the system sounded.
"Ding! Post quests, redeem the Horse Technique, and choose the best horse from the horse shop. Reward: Search engine. (Collection of Baidu, Sohu and other major search sites, Du Niang let you not be confused)"
I was stunned for a moment, and then I was overjoyed.
Buying a horse can trigger the task, and the attributes of the European Emperor in my previous life are really not covered! It's still so good luck to change someone!
After spending 1,000 emotion points to exchange for Soma from the system mall, Ling Xian refocused on the horses in the horse shop.
At a glance, I immediately found one of the horses with pale gold coat, about 1.5 meters tall, full and graceful, with a thin head and a high neck, slender limbs, thin skin and fine hair, light and elegant steps, slender and graceful body, and a high and curved neck, outlining its perfect body curve.
Take a closer look.
Hiss!!!
Sweaty BMW !!
Good boy, is it so lucky?!
This thing is not ordinary!
At this moment, people say that being able to travel thousands of miles a day is considered a peerless horse, but in fact, it is impossible, and everyone knows it in their hearts.
Generally speaking, the top speed of a horse is about 150 kilometers per day, and the maximum speed is only more than 200 kilometers. The fastest speed record of the sweaty BMW is to run 4,300 kilometers in 84 days, that is, more than 500 kilometers per day, which is terrifying!
It is estimated that it only takes 1 minute 07 seconds for a sweaty BMW to run 1,000 meters on flat ground.
But isn't this thing in Turkmenistan, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and so on?
In my previous life, there were only 11 horses in China in the 21st century, and now they have not been introduced to China at all, is it possible that I am really so lucky? The sweat and blood that was missed by everyone just let me pick it up?
Shaking his head, he stepped forward and pointed to the sweaty BMW and said to the horse seller.
"That's it, how much?"
Hearing this, Old Marquis Luo turned around in surprise.
"You kid also know Soma?"
"Back to grandpa's words, I know a little bit about it."
"Let me see what kind of horse you kid picked."
Old Marquis Luo stepped forward and saw the sweaty BMW beside Ling Xian at a glance.
No way, a horse with pale blond hair like this is extremely rare even in sweaty BMWs.
Old Marquis Luo shook his head when he saw it, pointed to the sweaty BMW and said.
"Boy, will you do it? How could this horse be a good horse with such thin legs, looking very thin, and behaving slowly? ”
The horse seller on the side was also a kind Samaritan, reminded him.
"Yes, son, this horse has been here for more than half a year, at that time I was still a person in the rivers and lakes, and accidentally saved a Hu caravan, this horse was given to me, I took it to the city to prepare to sell, who knows that no one bought it at all, and I was tired of the days on the rivers and lakes, so I went to buy other horses and prepared to settle in Chang'an City."
Ling Xian only felt his heart pound when he heard this.
