Chapter 125: Be My Man
When Naren Toya walked up to the Bagan Peak with two jars of mare's milk wine, Anu personally greeted her.
In addition, Ah Jiu Ah Tu and others were also impatient to probe their brains from a distance, but they really didn't have the courage to come. They still owe Anu dozens of jars of wine, and they have been deliberately avoiding it recently, trying not to appear in front of Anu as much as possible.
"Naren Toya, did you really get wine?" Anu squeezed out a rare smile with a black face, and asked when they met.
"Almost, but I still need your help. There are some processes that I don't have experience with, so I can't make the taste more mellow. Narentoya looked tired, and it was clear that she hadn't had a good rest lately in order to make wine.
"Naren Toya, hard work!" Anu took the two jars of mare's milk wine and couldn't wait to open them, wanting to try them.
"This smells ......" Anu's brows furrowed slightly, like a big black dog, sniffing carefully.
"I can't get rid of the sour smell and the fishy smell of mare's milk. Still, you definitely have a way. Naren Toya sat down, picked up a bunch of water, and drank it dry.
"It's sour...... It should be that the heat is not well mastered and the fermentation is not sufficient. As for the smell of mare's milk, we have to find another way. Anu stretched out a finger, dipped a little wine, put it on his tongue and tasted it, and said with a deep groan.
"I'm a mother-in-law, I don't have much knowledge, so I make you laugh." Naren Toya said tiredly.
Anu sniffled twice and said nothing. This Naren Tuoya has a straightforward personality, and her speech is like throwing a knife, it is rare to be so modest, and Anu doesn't want to be fooled by her.
"By the way, what about Zizig? Why didn't you bring her? Anu asked suddenly.
"The old patriarch Jida took it away, and I've been busy pouring mare's milk wine lately, so I really don't have the energy to take care of her." Naren Toya said.
Anu nodded slightly, lifted the wine jar, poured a full of mare's milk wine, tasted it slowly, frowned, and saw that Naren Toya was a little nervous.
"Did you heat it over fire when it was fermenting?" Anu asked.
"Yes, I used the original Tengger method to make yogurt, but I couldn't get the taste of wine, so I used the fire to heat and stir at the same time, and then poured it out." Naren Toya said.
"yes, I see. It is a mistake before and after the brewing process. Let's go. As he spoke, Anu was about to go out with two jars of wine.
"Where to go?" Naren Toya's eyes widened, "I want to see Guo Yang!" ”
"The wine hasn't come out yet, who let you see our young master?" Anu said expressionlessly.
"Anu, your words don't count! Do you know how I'm spending my days these days? I've been working all day and all night for your bullshit and drinking, and my hair is gray, and it's chilling for you to say this unconscionable thing now! Naren Toya's pungency came up, jumped up from the ground, and scolded with her hands on her hips.
Anu looked at Naren Toya coldly, not saying a word.
As she spoke, her voice slowly lowered, and she felt that she was indeed a little unreasonable, perhaps because she had been too tired lately, and her nerves were a little nervous.
"Done scolding?" Anu asked indifferently.
"Well, I'm done scolding." Naren Toya said with an apologetic smile.
"Leave when you're done, and I'll help you make a real mare's milk wine." After Anu finished speaking, he walked away without looking back.
Naren Toya opened her mouth to speak, but when she saw Anu's unkempt black head, she shut up. This guy is too stubborn, and there is no ambiguity in what he decides.
……
Anu adjusted the entire brewing process, using the method of fermentation first and distillation later, and finally poured out a real sake.
Although this kind of wine is not as mellow and refreshing as that made from grain, it is natural, with a hint of sweetness, smooth in the mouth, and has its own taste.
Later, in order to make the mare's milk wine more mellow, Anu made a unique move, using the method of nine steaming, nine drying and nine fermentation and purification, and brewed a wine that could completely replace pure grain winemaking, which made Naren Toya stunned.
"Anu, you look at the thick branches, you can't imagine such a powerful person. No wonder he can be Guo Yang's dog. Naren Toya sighed.
Anu's face froze, and he couldn't speak for a long time, he couldn't figure out whether this Naren Toya was praising herself or scolding him.
"What, don't you want to be Guo Yang's dog?" Naren Toya asked endlessly.
"Ahem, Naren Toya, our young master ......," Anu said with some embarrassment.
"Forget it, he's also an unhappy man. Actually, it's good to be a dog leg for Guo Yang, I want to be for him, I'm afraid people don't want it. Naren Toya said quietly.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, now I have taught you the method of brewing without any reservations, I hope to keep this secret in the future, this may be the foundation for you to be able to gain a foothold in the Tengger tribe in the future." Anu said with some exaggeration.
"You think I'm stupid? This kind of craft, if used well, can learn from you and Guo Yang's methods, and trade through commerce, maybe it can make the Tengger tribe strong again. If they make good use of it and accumulate a lot of wealth, in many years' time, the Tengger people will eventually become the true masters of this grassland. Naren Toya said.
When Anu heard this, he was taken aback, and stared at Naren Toya in surprise for a long time.
This mother-in-law's heart is too big, and she is really a little wild, and she even thinks about what will happen many years later, and she has to let Anu look at her twice.
"Anu, don't stare at me, it's time to fulfill the promise you gave me." Naren Toya glared at Anu and said.
"I'll go and report to the young master and ask him when he's free." Anu said a little perfunctorily. It's not that he intended to do this, but he knew that Guo Yang's recent study of alchemy had reached a critical moment, and he easily didn't want to be disturbed.
"No! You asked him to come to me. Your kindness to the Tengger people is the business of the Tengger people. My kindness to you is my business, and letting Guo Yang come to see me can be regarded as a tribute to the god of wine. Naren Toya said solemnly.
"Nonsense!" Anu was a little angry and shook his hand to leave.
Naren Toya stood there, sneering slightly, but did not open her mouth to stop her.
Anu had already stepped on the horse, and when she looked back and saw Naren Toya's appearance, her heart couldn't help but move, and she felt that what this woman said might really make sense, even if Guo Yang was unwilling to deign to see her, but for the sake of the god of wine, she should also say something. After all, Naren Toya has solved a big problem for everyone.
"Okay, Naren Toya, I'll go and tell the young master, but I can't guarantee that he won't see you." Anu said.
"If he doesn't come to see me, he won't be Guo Yang. Go, you black-faced dogleg, he'll come. After she finished speaking, she twisted her ass and walked into the tent, never to show her face again.
……
Guo Yang really came. He had to come.
Brewing mare's milk wine for everyone, this is simply the person who created the world, as great as his mother, Guo Yang really didn't dare to refuse the invitation of this kind of person.
He rode a black horse and staggered to the tent of Narentoya's house.
He was dressed in a white linen coat, and his black hair was casually tied with a silk belt, looking very lazy.
"Guo Yang......" Naren Tuoya heard the sound of horses' hooves outside, and her heart trembled, she threw herself at the door of the tent, slammed open the sheepskin curtain, and shouted softly, and then there was no sound.
Guo Yang is black, thin, and very haggard, which is heartbreaking to watch.
"Hello, Naren Toya." Guo Yang jumped down from the horse and said with a gentle smile.
"I'm not good." Naren Toya felt a little blocked in her throat and her nose was sour.
"What's wrong, isn't it just a cautious man? There are many heroes on the grassland, you are so young and beautiful, what is there? Guo Yang still smiled gently.
"However, not all the men on the grassland are called Guo Yang." Naren Toya bit her lip and whispered.
"Ahem...... What's so good about Guo Yang, on the grassland, it's still a wolf. You Tengger people are all descendants of the white wolf in the sky, and in the end, this grassland will belong to you. Guo Yang looked a little embarrassed, although Anu had repeatedly warned him before he came, saying that this Naren Tuoya was a straightforward prairie woman, but he didn't expect it to be really direct.
"Sometimes a name is just a piece of skin, but are those named Battle necessarily heroes? A man is not a wolf, not because he has a wolf skin. Naren Toya said.
"I heard Anu say that you have made mare's milk wine, which is as good as those made from grain, so I have come to thank you." Guo Yang said.
"Why thank me?" Naren Tuoya bit her lip and looked directly at Guo Yang.
This man, it was the first time she had stared so closely. In the past, she always looked up to this man, but since she made mare's milk wine, Naren Toya's mood suddenly changed, and she became a little big, a little wild, and a little proud.
This change was too secretive for Naren Toya to figure out for the rest of her life.
"You make mare's milk wine for everyone, and you create something with your own hands, like a mother giving birth to a child." Guo Yang said solemnly.
"That means I'm pretty good too? No longer a dirty and sassy crazy woman on the prairie? Naren Toya stared at Guo Yang's eyes and asked.
"It must be amazing...... What's more, no one said you were on the prairie...... Mother-in-law. Guo Yang was stared at by Naren Tuoya, feeling very difficult, and his breath began to be a little unstable.
"I didn't say it with my mouth, and I didn't say it in my heart?" Naren Toya asked reluctantly, her eyes flushed and red, like a spring cat.
"I didn't say it in my heart, I really didn't say it." Guo Yang lowered his eyes in embarrassment.
"Really?" Naren Toya asked.
"Really." Guo Yang said.
"And what do you say in your heart?" Naren Toya asked.
"You...... It's beautiful, it's the golden phoenix on the grassland, it's beautiful, it's powerful, it not only gives birth to cubs, but also makes wine. Guo Yang stammered a little, and what he said was upside down, and he really wanted to slap himself twice.
"Am I really beautiful? Nice? Naren Toya's voice was soft.
"It's really beautiful, it's beautiful." Guo Yang said.
"Then you can be my man." Naren Toya's voice was softer and nasal.
"I have women." Guo Yang was very honest, he thought of the swallow.
"What does it matter to me that you have a woman? I mean, let you be my man, not me be your woman. Naren Tuoya stretched out two cat paws, which made Guo Yang a little panicked.
"This ...... Isn't it the same? Guo Yang stammered while pulling away the two paws.
"Of course it's different...... Naren Toya's paw finally grabbed Guo Yang and pulled him into the tent.
……
Guo Yang's dark horse stood bored in front of the tent for a while, shook his head, snorted, and turned back.
