Chen Jing's old man turned out to be a veteran of the Yue army, after the Huiji War, the Yue army was dismissed, Chen Jing returned to his hometown, waited for 16 or 7 years, and finally waited for the Yue country to recruit again, but people thought he was old and didn't want him.

As a result, he sent his son to serve in the army. A young daughter-in-law, okra, was also left in the house.

The old man and Fan Li chatted, sighing, and Fan Li was also full of emotion.

After a while, okra brought a meal. The old man said, "General, drink some bar, my family's home-brewed sorghum wine, you can taste it." ”

Fan Li usually doesn't drink much, but when he met his old subordinates, he felt a lot, so he said: "Just drink a little." ”

The old man went out and brought a small altar, knocked off the sealed soil, and the strong smell of wine spread, and when the old man opened the lid of the altar, the smell of wine gushed out, and the house was full of the smell of wine.

The aroma is very specific, intense and mellow, strong and soft. This is a fragrance that Fan Li has never smelled since he crossed.

The aroma reminded him of the time before the crossing. At that time, his father was a winemaking engineer. Working at a large winery, his family can drink that kind of good wine without a trademark all year round. Fan Li also often goes to the winery to play. It was a huge factory, and the smell of wine wafted everywhere.

Now, I can't go back, and I don't know what happened to my parents over the years. There was a feeling of melancholy in his heart,

In the spring and autumn season, the wine-making process is very primitive, the grain such as rice is cooked, fermented with koji, some are filtered into liquid, and some are eaten directly without filtering.

The filtered wine is also very cloudy, the alcohol content is very low, and the taste is not very good.

More than 2,000 years after Fan Li's previous life, the winemaking process has developed greatly, and distillation has been widely used to make wine. That kind of distilled liquor, unblended can reach seventy or eighty degrees, the body is clear and transparent, and the aroma is strong. Later, it also created more than a dozen kinds of flavor liquors such as sauce fragrance, clear fragrance, and strong fragrance.

Distilled spirits and filtered spirits are not the same thing at all.

Old man Chen Jing's liquor actually has the characteristics of distilled spirit, although it is still relatively turbid, but it already has the aroma of distilled spirit. And the degree is extremely high, it should not be less than 30 degrees.

This incident made Fan Li's heart move. He was revered as the God of Wealth in later generations. He has a special eye for finding business opportunities in details that others overlook. He felt that there was value in using it, but he had no concept of how to use it.

Fan Li said: "Your wine is so good." I've never drunk such a good wine. ”

Old man Chen Jing said: "My family has no land, so they rely on wine to support their family's life, and dozens of miles from the neighborhood come to my house to buy wine. They were reluctant to drink it when they bought it, and only when a distinguished guest came to the house, did they take out my wine and serve it to the guests. ”

Fan Li said: "If I have kung fu, I will come to you to drink and learn your winemaking skills." ”

The old man said, "It is an honor for my subordinates to be able to come to my house. When it comes to winemaking, my daughter-in-law okra is particularly proficient in it, as long as she reaches out to make wine. It tastes so good. ”

Fan Li said: "Okay, I will definitely come." He couldn't think of how to use good wine, and if it was just for drinking, it would be boring, he didn't love wine very much, and he wouldn't make wine for the sake of drinking.

Old man Chen Jing diligently persuaded him to drink. Fan Li said: "Yue Ji, have you ever drunk?" ”

Yue Ji said: "I have drunk it, I often drink the mountain jujube wine brewed by my mother." It's not good to drink. ”

The brewing process of fruit wine is simple, and the fruit can be filtered out after a period of time. If you add sugar, it tastes very good. But if there is no sugar in the mountains, the taste of the wine will naturally not be good.

Fan Li said: "Yue Ji, what do you think of this wine?" ”

Yue Ji said: "This wine is fragrant and strong. ”

Fan Li said: "We can't drink more because this wine is delicious, it is uncomfortable at night when we are drunk." ”

Under the persuasion of the old man, Yue Ji also drank a small bowl, and the effect of alcohol made her face blush, and under the oil lamp, she was as beautiful as a flower.

Fan Li also felt a little dizzy. Say, "I can't drink it anymore." A little dizzy. ”

The old man said, "Drink some wine, just sleep to relieve fatigue." ”

After the meal, Okra came and said, "My lord, the beds have been made and you can rest in peace." ”

Fan Li said: "Old man, Fan Li is greedy for your good wine, drank too much, and wanted to sleep." ”

The old man said, "Okra, take the two adults to rest." ”

Two rooms, one for Fan Li and one for Yue Ji. The rooms are not big, they are all thatched houses, the house is very tidy, the bedding is very rough, but very clean.

Okra brought in a clay pot wrapped in cotton cloth and a bowl, and said, "My lord, here is hot water, and when the adults are thirsty at night, drink something to quench their thirst." ”

Fan Li said, "Thank you, Okra girl." ”

Okra's handsome face turned red, and she said shyly: "The master is going to be a soldier with you, and Okra should serve the adult." Although her head was lowered, her gaze was greedily resting on Fan Li.

Fan Li has gained too much from such a gaze, and he doesn't care about it. He said, "All right, girl, you can rest and go." ”

Okra said, "I'm right next door, if you need anything, just call it." He bent his knees, and glanced at Fan Li before leaving.

Fan Li smiled silently, shook his head, fell on the bed, and immediately fell asleep.

Perhaps it was the effect of alcohol, Fan Li slept very deeply. The fatigue of the journey was quickly dissipated.

At some point, he felt a slight noise around him. When he opened his eyes, he saw a figure beside him in the dark, and according to the smell, he knew that it was Yue Ji.

"Little sister, why don't you sleep?" Fan Li asked softly.

Yue Ji leaned down and whispered, "Big brother, I woke up, I can't sleep, I want to talk to you." ”

Fan Li sat up: "Little sister, we have time tomorrow, can we say something tomorrow?" ”

Yue Ji didn't answer, came over for a while, and said faintly, "Doesn't the eldest brother want to talk to me?" ”

Fan Li sighed in his heart, it was impossible to ask Yue Ji to do things for him without letting Yue Ji like him. Hurriedly said: "No, I'm afraid that you won't rest well, and we have to hurry tomorrow, right?" ”

Yue Ji said, "I'm fine. I just want to ask my eldest brother a word. ”

Fan Li took Yue Ji's hand, held it in his palms, and stroked it gently: "Little sister, what are you talking about?" Just ask. ”

Yue Ji's breathing became rapid, and her fingers swiped uneasily in Fan Li's palm, making a gentle hum, as if she had mustered up courage, and said astringently: "Big brother, I want to ask, is Xi Shi very beautiful?" ”

This is an unexpected question. During the meeting, Yayu and Yue Ji chatted. Yayu knew Fan Li's thoughts, and he was worried that Yue Ji would like him and end up causing harm to Yue Ji. I told Yue Ji about Fan Li and Xi Shi. She told Yue Ji that for almost twenty years, Fan Li had no woman, and she was just waiting for Xi Shi. Yayu's purpose is that long pain is better than short pain, and the matter is clear, so that Yue Ji died of this heart.

But in fact, it's not that simple. Yue Ji grew up to seventeen years old in the mountains and never saw a man. Fan Li was the first man she came into contact with. It was Fan Li who woke up the sleeping spring love in her heart. This kind of emotion is like a raging fire in her heart, burning more and more, how can it be extinguished by Yayu's words?

Fan Li felt difficult to answer, he was afraid of hurting Yue Ji's heart, but he couldn't answer truthfully. Say: "Shih Tzu is really beautiful. ”

Yue Ji said, "How beautiful is it?" ”

Fan Li said: "I can't tell you how beautiful Xi Shi is. Let's put it this way, when the fish sees Xi Shi, they sink to the bottom of the water and do not move, and when the flowers see Xi Shi, they are shy and can't open. ”

After a pause, Yue Ji said, "Xi Shi is much more beautiful than Yue Ji, isn't it?" ”

Fan Li paused for a while and said, "Yue Ji is also very beautiful. It's like a rose and a peony, you all have your own beauty. ”。

Yue Ji whispered, "Big brother, I know." His voice was low, but it was tearful.

Fan Li was sad for a while, he knew that he had fallen in love with this poor girl. He raised his arm and took Yue Ji in his arms. He felt Yuehime's body tremble.
