Chapter 18: Ambition
"The Beast King Wine is my Huang family's ancestral secret brew, and my ancestors relied on it when they started." Huang Guangyao and Lu Liang in the backyard garden talked about family life, and at this moment, Lu Bu also slipped in to join in the fun.
"The magic of this wine is that each time the blood of a beast is added, it will have a different effect." Huang Guangyao said proudly.
After hearing this, Lu Bu shook his head and smiled, "Hehe, sure enough, there are too many feudal superstitions in this era. ”
"Bul Xiu is talking nonsense, is this superstition? When I was hit by the poisoned arrow of the Huns, I begged all the famous doctors to solve it, and it was your grandfather who used the blood of a poisonous snake and mixed this wine to fight poison with poison, which saved your father's life. Lu Liang said that he bowed to Huang Guangyao and expressed his gratitude.
Huang Guangyao squinted and nodded, he also liked the son-in-law in front of him from the bottom of his heart, his Huang family once had a son, but he was killed by the Huns, and now there is only one only daughter of the Huang family, and the Huang family's property will definitely be inherited by Lu Liang in the future.
"Grandpa, then tell me which animal blood is added, and what will be the different effect?" Lu Bu asked suspiciously.
"Add the blood of the tiger, and the drinker of this wine is infinitely powerful; Infused with bear blood, those who drink this wine are bold and brave; With the addition of deer blood, the eyes of those who drink this wine are clear and sensitive; Add wolf blood, and those who drink this wine have a keen sense of smell and are extremely fierce......" Huang Guangyao said slowly, the magic of the Beast King wine.
Lu Liang and Lu Bu both listened to it with relish and were eager to try.
"Hahaha, this is also recorded in the ancestral brewing book, tiger blood, wolf blood, and bear blood, I have never had a chance to try them." Huang Guangyao laughed.
"Grandpa, can you teach me how to make this wine?" Lu Bu asked eagerly, "I want to try the effect of adding each of its beast bloods." ”
After hearing this, Lu Liang hurriedly stopped, "Bu'er is making nonsense, this is my grandfather's ancestral secret technique of brewing, how can you learn it casually!" ”
"Hahaha, don't tight, don't tight!" Huang Guangyao touched Lu Bu's head, "I didn't expect Bu'er to be young and still interested in this meticulous winemaking work, we are all a family, sooner or later the Huang family's property and everything will be yours." ”
Hearing this, Lu Liang on the side was also shocked, "Father-in-law! Is this true? ”
"The old man is such a precious daughter under his knees, and he is married to you, and I will have to rely on you Lu Liang to raise me when I am old in the future." Huang Guangyao said with a smile.
After hearing this, Lu Liang bowed to Huang Guangyao, "Father-in-law's words have annoyed my son-in-law, and I should do it to honor your old man." ”
"Oh, why are you making such a complicated family, daddy!" Lu Bu also waved his hand and smiled, "Don't forget, there is still me!" ”
Lu Liang and Huang Guangyao glanced at each other, and they both laughed.
Then Huang Guangyao took a sheepskin scroll and handed it to Lu Bu, "This is the ancestral recipe of our Beast King Wine, which also appendices my decades of brewing experience. ”
Lu Bu looked at his father, saw Lu Liang smile and nodded, and also took the sheepskin in Huang Guangyao's hand and looked at it, feeling quite complicated, but with Huang Guangyao's decades of experience, Lu Bu believed that he could also brew successfully.
"By the way, Grandpa Bu'er has another gift for you today." Huang Guangyao said with a smile.
"Really?" Lu Bu looked at it, looking forward to it for a year, and he was also very happy in his heart, "Hey, hey, the era of fighting dad is everywhere, in fact, fighting grandpa is also very important!" ”
Lu Liang frowned after hearing this, and said, "Father-in-law, you are so careful to spoil this little guy!" ”
"Hahaha, I'm a son, isn't the bad point good? In this increasingly bad Han court, people have to be bad so that they don't get bullied. Lu Liang, are you willing to rely on your own strength to guard the frontier for the rest of your life! How long has it been since the imperial court sent you supplies, I'm afraid you know better than me! "Huang Guangyao can get to the point where he is today, and he is definitely a figure in the old rivers and lakes, and he has unique views on the court and himself.
"Hey, my father-in-law is right, my son-in-law has been taught today." Lu Liang also nodded again and again.
Hearing the words of his father and Huang Guangyao, Lu Bu also understood what Huang Guangyao meant, now that the court is chaotic and the eunuchs are in charge, Lu Liang has a reputation and power in the frontier, and the Huang family is rich, so he can become a warlord and prince by himself. To be precise, since the emperor sealed the general of Lu Liang and cut off the supply of the imperial court, Lu Liang has actually been counted as a warlord in this side, but the territory of these five original counties is too small, and it can only be regarded as a county attached to the state.
Lu Liang fell into deep thought at the moment, maybe he was waiting, waiting for an opportunity for him to rise suddenly. But before the time came, he was always a courtier of the Han Dynasty, and the duty of guarding the frontier still had to be fulfilled.
"Hehe, interesting! Unexpectedly, Lao Tzu turned out to be a rich third generation. Lu Bu secretly said in his heart, he also liked the old man Huang Guangyao more and more, this is an ambitious businessman.
Then Lu Bu and Lu Liang followed Huang Guangyao to the stable.
"Haha, grandpa, are you going to send me a horse?" Lu Bu guessed.
"Bu'er is smart!" Huang Guangyao replied with a smile.
"Father-in-law, Bu'er is still young! I'm afraid I can't subdue an untamed horse. Lu Liang was also worried.
You must know that the reason why Lu Bu can ride war horses at will in the Lu family horse farm is because the war horses of the Lu family have been specially trained and are very obedient! And now this foreign horse, Lu Bu is too young to get hurt.
"Don't worry, this horse is not for Lu Bu to ride!" Huang Guangyao replied.
"Huh? Horses aren't meant to be ridden, what are they for? Lu Bu hurriedly took over and asked.
"Huh? Lu Liang, you haven't officially praised Bu'er, your most proud horse taming? Huang Guangyao asked Lu Liang suspiciously.
"Back to my father-in-law, Bu'er is ten years old and half a month old this year, according to the rules of the ancestors, in order to protect the younger generations, you must be ten years old before you can start to learn how to train horses." Lu Liang replied respectfully, meaning that he was about to teach Lu Bu.
Lu Bu also laughed after hearing this, "I have already watched the Hun master Hu Yanlie perform in the horse farm, and Brother Lu Feng in the horse farm has also told me a lot. ”
"Haha, Bu'er taming a horse is not as simple as you think!" Lu Liang laughed, "First of all, you have to have a partner, and you have to understand that it is not for riding. ”
After hearing Lu Liang's words, he thought of the question he asked before, "Horses are not used for riding, what are they used for?" ”
Suddenly, Lu Bu had a feeling of epiphany.
"Does the little one feel it?" Huang Guangyao stared at Lu Bu's thoughtful look.
"Hmm!" Lu Bu also nodded, thinking back on today's entire birthday greeting, he really learned a lot.
"Bu'er, you should know that grandpa has two BMWs at home, right?" Huang Guangyao asked.
"Know! I heard my father talk about how both horses were bloody horses. Lu Bu replied.
"And it's a male and a female!" Huang Guangyao reminded, and then pointed to the stable!
Lu Bu's mind understood in a second, the ancients were really very subtle, and then Lu Bu looked up and saw ......
