The three of them took a sip and drank the mellow Jiannan Burning Spring in the cup. Huang Gui was young, just sitting on the steps and watching.

The wine entered his throat, as if his throat had changed. The warm feeling came up, the aroma of the wine overflowed, and the whole person was intoxicated with the mellow aroma. Jiannan Burning Spring really lives up to its name, it is strong and flavorful. What's more, the liquor seems to turn into a luscious rock candy soon after it lingers on the lips and teeth, and the sweet aftertaste spreads from the stomach to the mouth. But it's not greasy at all, and the feeling in the mouth is also very good.

"Hmm... Uncle Qiu, this is really good wine... To have such a beautiful wine, the craftsmanship must be good. Xia Fanxing sincerely admired that although he rarely drank alcohol, he was still able to taste the taste of wine. Just to say that the taste of Jiannan Roasted Spring is indeed worthy of the reputation of the top ten fine wines of the Tang Dynasty!

"Good wine, good wine! Another glass?" Qin Blind Man could better appreciate the weight of this cup of Jiannan Burning Spring. But it's a pity that there is only one bite, and it is really not enjoyable.

"Go, go, I still have to drink this wine for several days!" Qiu Wuyue waved his hand again and again, "This is the last bottle of the last batch of brewing, and the next batch of old Duan said that it will take a few days to come out." I'll give it to you, and if I don't drink for a day, it'll be as bad as dying..."

"Forget it, you still gasp when you say you're fat? It's not that I haven't drunk better. Blind Qin also waved his hand and said.

"It's really strange for your boss to say this, we also came here, and I heard that your winery has private good wine... But such a good wine also has the ability to do it, but other wines are made like horse urine, how does he do business?" Xia Fanxing pinched the empty wine glass and wondered.

"This... Wait, you're here to buy Jiannan Burning Spring? What am I going to drink when I'm done buying it for you? I'm still inviting you to drink... Get out of here!Don't come again!" Qiu Wuyue finally woke up a little bit, and suddenly thought of such a layer, so that the four of them couldn't refute it.

After being embarrassed for a while, Xia Fanxing, who had pondered, spoke first, "Don't worry. Hearing you say that, we will not forcibly take what people love. If there is a lot of brew in the brewery, we will buy a little, and if there is not enough for you to drink, we will not buy it. ”

"It's pretty much the same..."Qiu Wuyue relaxed, took the wine glass in Xia Fanxing's hand, poured a glass and took a sip. The face turned red again.

“... Uncle Qiu, let me tell you the truth. The four of us are here today for one more purpose. Xia Fanxing looked at Qiu Wuyue's intoxicated expression when he was drinking, and suddenly said. Then, he told the story of Drunken Immortal Lou Ah Niu.

During this time, Li He was so anxious that he patted him several times, signaling him not to be exposed, but Xia Fanxing continued. The blind man Qin listened quietly, but did not speak.

"It's... You're not bluffing me, are you? I'll be honest, I usually spend most of my time here, and the only time I go up is to practice martial arts. I've also drunk Zhuye green wine, and it seems that this kind of wine has never been made in the brewery... Otherwise, the few in the cellar would not have never mentioned it..."

"Then haven't you thought about why Duan Qianshan asked you not to mention Bamboo Leaf Green Wine?"

"It's... I don't know! I don't know if it's my own sake shop..."The wine in the glass was drunk again. His face was flushed and he spoke incoherently, and it was estimated that he was also so drunk when Duan Qianshan told him.

And after Qiu Wuyue listened to Xia Fanxing's words, he looked surprised. Although I promised the boss that if someone came to ask Zhuye Qingjiu, don't talk nonsense with him. But... I didn't expect it to be such a despicable thing. If what the Taoist priest in front of him said is true, then... How did Lao Duan become this kind of person?

"Lao Duan just loves to drink and make wine, he's not a miser... Why do you want to steal other people's formulas and sell them outside to make money? Don't you tell me?" Qiu Wuyue said drunkly. The tone seemed to be somewhat angry.

"What's more critical is how Duan Qianshan made a deal with that Ah Niu through what channel? If he had a relationship with that organization. Qin Blind spoke, he didn't seem to have any concerns about Qiu Wuyue. Speaking of which, he stopped again.

"Uncle Qiu, we also have evidence to find here. The little fat man sitting on the steps also interjected.

"yes, yes. ”

Xia Fanxing looked at Qiu Wuyue, who was confused, and walked up to Qin's blind man and whispered a few words to him. Blind Qin nodded, turned around and walked up the steps.

"Then can you tell us what kind of person Boss Duan is? How does he love winemaking? Also, Uncle Qiu, do you know where Boss Duan went when he was not in the winery?" Xia Fanxing saw Qiu Wuyue like this, so he no longer hid it, and asked what he wanted to know.

"Now, and at this time of the day, Lao Duan usually goes to the market or wine shop to watch wine or drink... Or exchange ideas with your drinking buddies. He spends a lot of time drinking and researching alcohol, which is why I say he's an alcoholic!"

"And he's not as bad as the two brothers outside just now..."

"Listen to himself. Six or seven years ago, the Jiannan Provincial tribute envoy came to Chang'an City. At that time, the capital was in the midst of the heaviest rainstorm in 30 years, and the rainwater in the city was congested, and the carriages and horses were cut off. And unfortunately, they lost the state seal on the way here. I brought tribute early, but because I lost the identity certificate of the state capital seal, and the water flooded the city, it was difficult to enter the palace. And the time for tribute is approaching. ”

At that time, Duan Qianshan seemed to be attending a drinking party in those squares on the border of the city. It happened that they were staying in an inn with the tribute envoys of Jiannan Province. After a few days of heavy rain, I stayed in the inn and didn't come out. It should be the Jiannan Burning Spring brought by the Jiannan Dao tribute envoy that attracted the great attention of Lao Duan. And then he kept pestering the sommelier among them about the wine... Finally, do you know why the wine master planned to reveal the secret recipe of Jiannan Roasting Spring to Lao Duan?"

"Originally, this thing was a local secret and could not be passed on. But because of the state seal, they did not get the opportunity to enter the palace to meet His Majesty. I am not familiar with the place here, and there is no official to recommend, and the time passes day by day, making the team more and more anxious. Lao Duan actually knew a minister in the court, but he refused to tell me who it was, and he didn't say anything about his official position. So he told the envoy that he could go and talk to the minister, and arrange for them to come to the palace to pay tribute. When the winemaker heard this, he saw that Lao Duan was indeed very fond of winemaking, so he left him the secret recipe. Finally, thanks to what he said, the minister arranged for the envoy to catch up with the time for the tribute. But even with the secret recipe in hand, he studied it for a long time before he dared to personally go down to the cellar and brew the first pot of Jiannan Burning Spring. The cost of raw materials is high, and when he came to invite me, his flesh hurt for a while!"

After listening to what Qiu Wuyue said, several people changed their feelings about Duan Qianshan in their hearts. This person really has a deep love for winemaking.

However, obvious suspicions followed, and the blind man Qin was the first to discover this-"Duan Qianshan still knows someone in the court?Uncle Qiu, what did he do before?" Several other people also immediately discovered this and asked one after another.

That's right, I heard what Li He said before, the boss of this organization seems to be an official in the imperial court, and he has a lot of authority and money, so he has the ability to create such a big rumor and mobilize so many ignorant people to follow. Duan Qianshan was obviously a member of this organization, and he didn't know through what channel he traded with Ah Niu, and he had someone in the court, so it was entirely possible that he obtained the secret recipe of Zhu Yeqing through this person's channel. And it is very likely that this minister is the upper echelon of this organization, and even the mastermind who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic!

"I don't know. We've known each other for a long time, but it's just nodding acquaintances, and we haven't seen each other in years when he came to see me two years ago. He didn't mention what he used to do, and I wouldn't ask. In fact, even now that I am a door god, I hardly know anything about his business arrangement. ”

Suddenly, a shrew's scolding came from the alley outside the gate of the winery. The speed of speech was extremely fast, fierce and spicy, and several people didn't hear what she was saying. And the man who seemed to be being scolded fled again and again, running towards this side, saying forgiveness in his mouth, and quickly fleeing from the entanglement. Then, the dilapidated door of the brewery was slapped open.

"Whew... Li Si! Li Si! Mix less water! You fool! Damn, that mother-in-law is waiting for me at the door. Remember, don't mix so much water with water in the future, you're a fool!" The man who came, pot-bellied and panting, swore and cursed towards the cellar behind the winery, and was scolding and teaching some of his fellows how to cheat.

When he walked back to the brewery with a dark face after visiting the men's work, he saw four people sitting at the table and chairs, as if they had been waiting for him for a long time.

The man, Duan Qianshan, the owner of Qianshan Fine Wine, immediately changed his face full of smiles and greeted: "Four guest officers, coming to the shop, it's really full of brilliance... I don't know what kind of wine the guest officer wants to buy? There are more than ten kinds of good wine in the shop, and it is estimated that only the most expensive grape wine from the Western Regions is worthy of the four guest officers..."

Speaking of which, Duan Qianshan is really at his fingertips...

"Boss Duan is too high-minded. We are just four poor sour men, but we heard that there is a privately brewed Jiannan Roasted Spring in your winery, so we rushed to see the style. I don't have a lot of silver, and if I really have such a good wine, it will not be in vain. Listening to Qiu Wuyue's last words before pushing them up, Qin Blind said to Duan Qianshan very calmly.

Moreover, in his current opinion, Duan Qianshan was actually not a difficult bone to gnaw, and they could completely get important information about that organization from him.
