Chapter 36: Wisdom through three levels to get the secret recipe
Bai Lao nodded with a relieved expression, expressing great satisfaction.
He raised his hand: "It's not early today, you can go back first, come early tomorrow morning, remember to bring these things." ”
"Don't forget!"
Bai Lao said that, and handed a note full of handwriting to Lu Xiyi.
She just wanted to open it and take a look, but was stopped by Bai Lao.
"Don't be in a hurry, it's not too late to read the content on this after you two go back!"
Lu Xiyi had no choice but to nod, and left after dragging the note in his hand.
When she returned to the restaurant, she couldn't wait to open the note.
I saw that there were only three simplest things written on it, namely: three taels of glutinous rice, a catty of daughter red and half a catty of green plums.
Although Lu Xiyi often makes wine, he can't figure out what the connection between the three is.
At this time, it was already late at night, and Ah Leng was afraid that Lu Xiyi would be tired, so he hurriedly comforted: "Okay, okay, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore." ”
"Since Senior Bai asked you to bring these things to him, then he must have meant it, right?"
As he spoke, he led Lu Xiyi to her room and opened the door.
"Rest early, wake up early tomorrow morning! I'll be with you always! ”
After saying that, Ah Leng closed the door and left.
And Lu Xiyi returned to the room, looking at his bed sleepiness suddenly came.
After lying down for less than half an hour, he fell into a deep sleep.
When she woke up, it was already dawn, and thinking of the agreement with Bai Lao, she hurriedly freshened up and dressed and prepared to go out.
As soon as she opened the door, Ah Leng happened to be waiting for her outside on horseback.
"How was your rest last night?"
"Come on! I'll take you to see Bai Lao. ”
As he spoke, Leng stretched out his hand to her and motioned for her to mount with him.
As soon as Lu Xiyi's weak, boneless little hand landed in Ah Leng's palm, Ah Leng felt like an electric shock all over his body.
He shuddered slightly.
Seeing this, Lu Xiyi hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" But not feeling well? ”
Ah Leng shook his head: "It's okay! ”
As soon as he said that, he took Lu Xiyi to his side and sat down.
Who would have thought that as soon as Lu Xiyi sat on the horse, Ah Leng felt that his face began to burn.
He seemed a little embarrassed, and he explained as he rode his horse, "It's been quite hot lately! ”
Lu Xiyi shuddered: "How can this weather be hot!" ”
As he spoke, he looked back at Ah Leng, and as soon as he turned around, he was startled.
I saw that Ah Leng's face was red, as if it was a ripe apple.
Before they had time to think about it, they had already arrived at the inn they had agreed with Bai Lao yesterday.
Lu Xiyi thought that Ah Leng was really hot, so he used his little hand to fan Ah Leng, and the rouge breath drifted along the wind to the tip of Ah Leng's nose.
When Ah Leng smelled the fragrance, his face immediately turned redder.
Bai Lao, who was on the second floor of the inn, was lying on a recliner and humming a little song leisurely.
When his eyes swept to Ah Leng and Lu Xiyi downstairs, he couldn't help but whistle and teased: "I said girl, don't fan him anymore." ”
"I'm afraid his fire is going to be fanned bigger and bigger."
Bai Lao snickered as he spoke: "You have to be careful that this kid can't help but eat you dry for a while, maybe you can't say!" ”
Ah Leng's body was already hot, and it was even more uncomfortable when he said this, and he glanced at Bai Lao complainingly.
"Senpai!"
With that, he rode away on his fast horse.
Lu Xiyi didn't think much about what Bai Lao just said meant, and all he was thinking about was what the three tests that Bai Lao mentioned yesterday were.
When she was thinking about it, she was taken to the backyard of the inn by Bai Lao, and Bai Lao appeared in front of Lu Xiyi behind his hands.
"Did you bring those three things on the note?"
Lu Xiyi nodded, took down the burden behind him, opened it and put it on the round table on the side.
There are a lot of glutinous rice, green plums and daughter red.
"I've brought them all!"
Bai Lao nodded: "Very good!" You're doing a great job! ”
"You now have two missions! They are green plum wine and glutinous rice wine, but there is only one pillar of incense in time, so let's start! ”
Lu Xiyi was still lamenting that the time was too short, and Bai Lao over there had already lit the incense stick and drank his daughter red, which was very leisurely.
Lu Xiyi knew that she had no time to hesitate, and suddenly she discussed with the back kitchen of the inn and borrowed an hour.
With money in hand, it is easy to do things, and after Lu Xiyi gave the silver, those people immediately vacated the back kitchen.
Lu Xiyi began to work in the kitchen alone.
Time passed little by little, Lu Xiyi was busy sweating, although it was indeed a little difficult to make two kinds of wine in the time of one stick of incense, but for a hundred taels of gold, he still had to give it a try.
Bai Lao was leisurely in the outer courtyard and rested for a while.
When he turned his head to look at the incense stick beside him, it was about to burn to the end.
Just when the incense was about to burn out, Lu Xiyi came to Bai Lao with two glasses of wine with a flushed face.
"Please taste it."
When Bai Lao looked at Lu Xiyi, who came out with a wine glass, his face was full of incredulity.
Come to think of it, this test is not the first time that Bai Lao has been instructed, but no one has ever been able to make two kinds of wine in one stick of incense.
Puzzled, he took a sip of his glass, and sure enough, it was a new wine that had just been made, with a faint plum aroma.
Even the glutinous rice wine has a slight sweetness.
Even Bai Lao, who is a master brewer, had to admire Lu Xiyi's winemaking skills and reaction to the sudden situation just now.
He smacked his tongue: "Miss Lu is doing very well, but the old man has something he wants to ask Miss Lu." ”
"How does Miss Lu make two kinds of wine in the hour of one stick of incense."
Lu Hope explained: "It's really difficult to make two kinds of wine in half a pillar of incense, but I just reduced the amount and increased the firepower of the wine, so that the dog just made two kinds of wine." ”
Bai Lao couldn't help but wonder after hearing this, and only knew why when he arrived in the back kitchen.
I saw that there were still a lot of original green plums and glutinous rice left, so it seemed that the materials used by Lu Xiyi could only make two glasses of wine.
Her ability to be flexible is truly convincing.
Bai Lao took the last sip of wine in the wine glass and said, "You have passed all my tests perfectly, and now you have officially become my Bai Lao's closed disciple. ”
"I'll teach you the secret recipe of fruit wine tomorrow, and I'm a little tired today."
Lu Xiyi saw Bai Lao stroking his forehead, and knew that he meant to send off guests.
"Since Bai Lao is tired, then I won't bother my seniors, I'll go back first."
Bai Lao nodded and watched Lu Xiyi leave.
There was a lot of meaning in his eyes, he never thought that the person who was finally qualified to get his fruit wine secret recipe was actually a woman.
But then again, although she is a woman, she is not even comparable to many men when it comes to winemaking.
Give her the secret recipe of fruit wine, and he can rest assured.
At the same time, Lu Xiyi has also arrived at Xiaoyao Wine.
Xiaomeng, who was playing at the door, saw Lu Xiyi's figure, and quickly put down the little trick in his hand and ran all the way to her arms.
She tilted her head, her eyes were full of longing, and she rubbed her body with her little face: "Sister, why did you come back so long!" How's it going? Did it succeed over there? ”
As soon as Lu Xiyi saw Xiaomeng, he suddenly felt that the fatigue on his body disappeared.
She touched Xiaomeng's head and replied, "Of course it worked!" As long as I go out, there is nothing I can't do! ”
Xiaomeng jumped up happily, and then pulled her into the front hall.
She pointed to a large table full of dishes in front of her and said, "Sister, look, this is all made by Brother Aleng, he said that you have lost weight for the restaurant in the past two days, and you have to make up for it." ”
The dishes in front of him were full of flavor and flavor, and Lu Xiyi's gluttony was hooked out at once.
She touched her empty belly, and it growled.
"What about the Aloms? Why didn't you see him? ”
"My brother is ...... in the back kitchen"
Before he could say the busy word, Ah Leng walked out of the back kitchen with another plate of dishes.
As soon as he saw Lu Xiyi, there was a smile in the corner of his eyes.
"You're back? Tired of it, right? These are all your favorite foods, come and see how it tastes? ”
Lu Xiyi didn't expect Ah Leng to wash his hands and make soup for himself, you must know that this kind of thing has never happened before.
She was a little flattered, and hurriedly took the dish from Ah Leng's hand and put it on the table.
"Okay, okay, you must be tired of making such a big table of dishes!"
"Come on, come on, don't be stunned, come and try it!"
Lu Xiyi summoned the rest of the restaurant to sit at the dinner table together.
She also hurriedly took a chopstick dish and brought it to her mouth, and her face was immediately full of surprise.
She gave a thumbs up and praised: "You are too powerful, this delicacies of the mountains and seas may be like this." ”
Ah Leng saw that Lu Xiyi was eating so happily, and he also felt very happy.
"This is my first time cooking, I didn't expect you to like it so much, so I will often cook it for you in the future?"
Lu Xiyi replied while eating: "It's better not to, you're too tired, it's better to rest." ”
Xiao Meng and Ah Leng looked at each other and smiled, they seemed to have guessed that Lu Xiyi would say this.
However, hearing with his own ears that Lu Xiyi cared so much about himself, Ah Leng's heart was already happy.
It was already evening after a few people finished eating, and after eating, Lu Xiyi leaned on the windowsill and looked at the moon in the sky, and Xiaomeng was still sitting next to him.
She looked at it and couldn't help blurting out: "Do you think my mother is also watching me from the sky?" ”
"Yes! My grandmother told me that everyone who left us lived in heaven, and they would see if we were eating properly. ”
"Poof!"
Lu Xiyi couldn't help but laugh when he heard Xiaomeng's words.
"Okay, okay, I got it!"
"But you see it's dark now, what should we do in our little dream?"
Xiaomeng was a little reluctant to keep Lu Xiyi, and replied softly: "It's time to go back to the room to sleep, but Xiaomeng can't bear to sister!" ”
"In that case, let's sleep together tonight!"
