Chapter 181: The Heavy Rain Falls in the Spring of That Year
A small pot of small stove and small koji roast small wine, and the steamer Tianguo wooden retort produces good wine.
This is a phrase that has been passed down among tribes for thousands of years.
Su Qin rarely drank alcohol after coming to Yanguo, but this did not mean that he could not drink enough, just like when he was in the mountains, every winter, the people of the Ximan tribe would prepare their own roasted knife wine at home - it is a kind of distilled liquor made from herbs born on the cliff with palm sweat and rice, supplemented by three-distilled dew liquor, and then hollowed out from hundred-year-old tree logs.
Leave a small hole in the middle and upper part of the retort and insert a thin bamboo pipe, as a wine trough, below is a steamer made of a square four-legged bronze tripod, wait until the bottom of the pot is heated, the wine gas will rise and condense into wine in the cold, fall into the wine receiving vessel in the brewing, and then flow out through the wine trough - the first one has a high degree, the wine is strong, with the passage of steaming and roasting time, the wine degree gradually decreases, and the latter the taste is weaker and thinner.
This is a long process, and the Ximan's method of brewing knife wine is very famous in the whole tribe, because in the process of soju brewing, the water used by the Ximan people to soak the raw grain, steam and roast wine and rice is the best in the mountains, and only good water can make good wine, which is the consensus of all ethnic groups.
Where good wine is produced, it is a place where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the mountain springs are clear, and the streams are pure. And a mountain spring in the mountain after the ban of the Xi Barbarian Clan is such an existence, it snows in winter, and people from other tribes will always carry a large piece of cured meat to the Xi Barbarian Clan to exchange for the roasted knife wine, as the third prince of the Xi Barbarian Clan, Su Qin's life is naturally indispensable to wine, and it is all the best roasted knife wine.
The roasted knife wine is not spicy in the throat, and even slightly sweet, but it is full of stamina, and the disadvantage is heartburn - this is also the origin of the name of the roasted knife wine, the roasted knife wine warms the whole body in the stomach, but the heart is as unbearable as being cut by a knife, until someone drinks a bowl of roasted knife wine and suddenly the heart stops beating, it is rare to see someone drink the roasted knife wine and drink a lot of wine, all of which stop after tasting it.
And Su Qin relied on these burning knife wine to spend one after another days of heavy snow and mountain closure, and Su Qin drank burning knife wine, which was unmatched in the entire tribe.
One sip a day, a small amount of accumulation, and later Su Qin drank the sword wine into a bowl - this is Su Qin's own secret, Su Qin found that when he used the mental method taught by the wizard to run the meridians of the whole body, he couldn't help but reduce fatigue, and it could greatly reduce the stimulation of the knife wine to the heart, which made him have no scruples.
After all, burning knife wine can warm up the body.
If the good hunter is a warrior and the good drinker is a warrior, then Su Qin is a well-deserved brave man of the entire tribe.
No matter how light the wine is, if you drink too much, it will be intoxicating.
This is also what Mu Hatyu said later when Mu Hatyu heard Makino say that Su Qin was very bad for drinking shochu wine, Su Qin was afraid that Mu Hatyu was worried that he was drinking the lightest soju.
In fact, Su Qin drank the strongest flavor of roasted knife wine.
This is the reason why Su Qin rarely drinks alcohol after coming to Yanguo, he is used to drinking knife wine, he naturally has an inexplicable resistance to all kinds of alcohol on the mainland, light, tasteless, not to mention, in Su Qin's opinion, the wine brewed in Yanguo is more suitable for drinking before and under the moon, and not suitable for warming up and resisting the cold, just like the good daughter red of the wine kiln sealed in the underground of Jinxiu at the moment.
The wine drenched Su Qin's hair and flowed down Su Qin's cheeks to his neck.
Su Qin, who was holding his breath, silently let the wine pour down until no more wine flowed out of the wine vat.
Looking at the mud all over the ground, Su Qin, who was still holding his breath, suddenly punched his temple - since he couldn't get drunk, it was not a wise choice to pass out.
At least in my sleep, I don't think about those painful pasts.
It's just that Su Qin didn't expect that this sleep would be four hours.
When Su Qin opened his eyes again, he was already lying on the bed in the room that Aunt Sun had arranged for him, and the sky outside was already dark, only the candlelight was swaying slightly, emitting a soft yellow light, making the light in the room look a little hazy.
If it's a beautiful woman on the side, it will give birth to a little poetry with the end.
Su Qin, who felt a little drowsy, rubbed his eyes and saw a figure sitting at the wooden table, although Su Qin didn't look carefully, but a name popped up in his heart when he looked at the outline.
After "Mu Mu ......" unconsciously shouted this name, Su Qin suddenly stopped and completely woke up from his sleep, that person was not Mu Hayu, but Qi Luo Ge.
"Why are you here?" With an embarrassed smile, Su Qin expected that Qi Luo Ge had just shouted lightly but did not hear it.
"Can't sleep. Qi Luoge, who turned her head, looked at Su Qin and smiled slightly, as if she didn't hear Su Qin's soft shout just now, and after speaking, she got up and put away the things in front of her, Su Qin saw it really, it was a calligraphy, as for what was written on it, Su Qin didn't see it.
"I thought you were going to get drunk. Looking at Su Qin, Qi Luoge continued, "Are you hungry if you haven't eaten dinner, I asked the kitchen to leave you a meal, and I'll bring it to you." ”
Su Qin, who sat up from the bed, shook his head, put on his shoes, he first came out of the window, looked at the night sky outside that could not be seen, took a general look at the direction of the North Star, and knew that it was time to go, so he turned to Qi Luoge and asked, "How did you talk to the eldest lady?"
"It's not the eldest mother who wants to kill you, the eldest lady is just forced to do so. Qi Luoge looked at Su Qin, and the expression on his face was a little speechless.
"Is it Qiao Er?"
Hearing Su Qin's question, Qi Luoge nodded, then looked at Su Qin and said, "You still have three days, if you can convince the eldest lady, even if Qiao Er and them come, you don't have to worry." ”
"Why don't you ask me about my identity?" Su Qin looked at Qi Luoge's appearance, and then asked with a strange expression, Aunt Sun said before that she was a pawn arranged by Lu Tianxing in the tribe, although this was a lie, but Qi Luoge didn't care, the more Qi Luoge was like this, the more Su Qin felt a little unspeakable guilt.
"It doesn't matter who you are, what matters is who you are in front of me. Qi Luoge replied lightly.
Su Qin, who was quietly recalling these words, only felt a warm heart, and suddenly made a decision in his heart.
Slowly walking back to the wooden table, he looked at Qi Luoge, and then sat down.
"Thank you for your trust. Speaking of this, Su Qin paused, looked at Qi Luoge who opened his mouth and wanted to say something, and shook his hand, "Don't say what I'm doing so politely, you listen to me first." ”
"My identity is indeed not the third prince of a tribe, which Aunt Sun is very right. Looking at Qi Luoge, who frowned slightly, Su Qin laughed self-deprecatingly, and then continued, "Just like the eldest lady said, in fact, I do have an inextricable relationship with Lu Tianxing. ”
"However, I am not his pawn or his lackey, on the contrary, I have a blood feud with Lu Tianxing, which I decided when I was born. ”
"My real surname is not Su, but Lu. ”
"Do you remember the story you once told, you said that you don't know if the child born in the Hanging Temple in Guangqi City eighteen years ago is still alive. ”
"I said maybe I'm still alive, and you ask why, but I didn't say it at the time, and now I can tell you, because I'm that kid. ”
After Su Qin's last sentence was finished, the expression on Qi Luoge's face changed a few times, and finally returned to calm.
"Not surprised, not afraid?"
"Why are you afraid, my identity is different and those who were originally friends are afraid now?Surprised, in fact, ......" Speaking of this, Qi Luoge looked out the window, and there was a breeze outside the window, "Actually, I have already guessed some of your identity, but it is confirmed from your mouth, and it is still a little ...... I feel that providence makes people. After saying this, Qi Luoge frowned and glanced out the window, and muttered, "This god says that it will change, it seems that it is going to rain." ”
"It's better if it's raining heavily, it's safer. ”
Qi Luoge looked at Su Qin and seemed to know Su Qin's thoughts at this moment, and did not ask Su Qin where he was going, but just got up and said with a smile.
Su Qin looked at Qi Luoge and suddenly smiled, and then nodded heavily.
