Chapter 43 Winemaking

With the end of the exams, most of the students began to leave the college and go home.

Qingshi is alone, originally thought that with the master and the two senior brothers, he might experience some family warmth and spend the New Year together. Unexpectedly, two days ago, after Master Ou Changzhi asked Qingshi to give him some guidance as usual, he told him that he and Mo Sihai had important things to go out during the holiday, and Gui Huadong had already gone out and was not in Chaoge, so Qingshi arranged it by himself during this holiday.

Although there is still one day before the official holiday, all classes have been suspended, except for the Scripture Pavilion, almost all other facilities such as the gravity room, the trial room, the perception room, the credit office, and the ring office are no longer open.

Bluestone had already planned a few things to do during the holidays. One of them is winemaking, that time to drink, all the wine stored in Qingshi was drunk, of course, there were only seven or eight jars and gourds.

After drinking it all that time, Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian were both unsatisfied, Qingshi had to tell the truth, and then promised to brew another batch during the holiday, the two were helpless, but they couldn't force it, and they just hoped that the holiday would come as soon as possible.

The simple utensils that Qingshi used to use in the small courtyard of Liangyuan to brew mountain peach brew and a first-line fire were originally carried with him, but now he is reluctant to use them anymore.

In his spare time, Qingshi designed a set of distillation equipment, spent money to build it by the people in the outer courtyard of Qidao, and ordered a batch of clay wine vats and various large or small fine or coarse wine vessels, all of which were placed in the basement of the East Nine Building.

This basement was originally an alchemy room for the students of the Dan Dao Academy, and the bluestone was never used to refine the Dan, but now it has been converted into a wine cellar.

Of course, Zhang Hao did these things with a group of younger brothers, but when it came to buying wine, Qingshi had to do it himself.

Tianlong people are far more interested in drinking than eating, so there are no less than 100 wine shops in Chaoge, and Qingshi inquired about some famous ones, and decided to taste them himself before making a decision.

On the first day of the college's official holiday, Qingshi rarely woke up from a natural sleep, and was about to go out into the city to buy wine after washing, but heard the doorbell ring.

Qingshi had already improved the doorbell, and after hearing the sound, he only needed to turn his mind to observe the situation outside the door through the Xuanjing lens, but he didn't expect that it was Chen Tianye who came to call the door at this time.

Qingshi already knew that Chen Tianye was one of Mo Sihai's three major personal disciples, and he was also the youngest.

Of course, Mo Sihai still has many registered disciples, but the status of registered disciples and personal disciples is very different, and they are not Xuanmen disciples. According to his seniority, he is Chen Tianye's uncle, but Chen Tianye doesn't know it yet.

Chen Tianye came in and laughed; "Brother Qingshi is really amazing, the third-level alchemist of the Dan Dao Academy has beaten the geniuses of the Array Dao Academy to take the fourth-level formation mage, haha, it's amazing!"

"There's no way," Qingshi shrugged his shoulders and said, "I originally chose to join the Martial Arts Academy first, but I didn't qualify, and then I chose the Formation Dao Academy, but I still didn't qualify, and finally I had no choice but to come to the Dan Dao Academy, and I was considering transferring to join the Martial Arts Academy." ”

"Isn't it?" Chen Tianye exaggerated and said loudly, "So, one day you will trample all the geniuses of our Martial Arts Academy on the ground?" ”

"Anything is possible." Qingshi said with a smile.

"Shhhh Your kid brags more than a bald man. Chen Tianye naturally didn't believe it.

Qingshi looked at Chen Tianye's angry mustache, and imagined that one day Chen Tianye would open his mouth to call himself uncle, and couldn't help but smile.

"What are you holding back?" Chen Tianye was puzzled, "Why are you laughing so lewdly, you won't take a fancy to me, right?" Brother is not good for this mouthful! By the way, legend has it that you and Zhang Hao ...... fight."

"Whew!" Qingshi hurriedly interrupted Chen Tianye's obscenity.

After the joke, Chen Tianye said with a smile; "Guess what you're doing?"

"I want wine!" Qingshi said with a disdainful look.

"Wrong!" Chen Tianye said, "On the contrary, my brother is here to deliver wine. With a wave of his hand, a large wine vat large enough to hold two people suddenly appeared and landed gently in front of Qingshi.

Seeing Qingshi taken aback, Chen Tianye said triumphantly: "How is it?" See where you recognize the wine? ”

Of course, Qingshi knew, and he knew that this was the best four-season spring in Liangyuan City, Mingshan Kingdom, and it was also the base wine that he carefully selected to process and make mountain peach brew and first-line fire at that time.

I couldn't help but ask in surprise; "Where did you get the Four Seasons Spring? Could it be that he also made a special trip to Liangyuan City in Mingshan Kingdom? "The base wine used for the first-line fire brewing of bluestone is Liang Yuan's Four Seasons Spring, which was told to Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian.

"Where do you need my brother to run errands in person for these little things," Chen Tianye said with a smile, "Naturally, someone will send me to say hello, and I don't even have to give money for wine, and I cry and beg me to accept it!" Alas! If you don't accept it, it will hurt people's face, and I will reluctantly accept it if I am soft-hearted. ”

"You just blow it," Qingshi said with a smile, "and said that Brother Duan Qi, I think you brag better than him." ”

"I'm better than him in fights!" Chen Tianye laughed and said, "Okay, let's get down to business, I'll get you 10,000 catties, you can brew more." With a wave of his hand, a storage box flew over.

Qingshi took the box, condensed his spiritual power to probe in, and sure enough, there were nine identical large wine tanks in the space of the box, and this tank was a thousand catties.

"Are you really using me as a winemaker?" Qingshi said dissatisfied, "Just kidding, how much time does it take to process 10,000 catties?" ”

"Who told you to process it all right away," Chen Tianye hurriedly smiled, "You just take your time, I won't go back to Cheshire until five days, and then you can give me a thousand and eight hundred catties." The mountain peach brew has a line of fire, and I will get some of it. ”

"You think it's beautiful, it's impossible." Bluestone sternly refused.

"That's no problem with three or five hundred pounds, right?" Chen Tianye continued to sneer and said, "Brother Qingshi, work hard, brother will bring us Cheshire souvenirs to you when you go back." ”

"Nope. Up to fifty pounds. "Bluestone does not let go.

"A hundred pounds is good?" Chen Tianye bargained, and as he spoke, he took out a bag of spirit stones and handed it over.

Qingshi looked at it, there were about fifty high-grade spirit stones, this high-grade spirit stone can be worth 10,000 low-grade spirit stones, in terms of value, these fifty high-grade spirit stones are not a small number, it can be seen that Chen Tianye is still very willing, plus these wines, it is indeed very heartfelt.

Qingshi saw that this guy was full of sincerity, so he had no choice but to smile helplessly and said, "You drunkard!" Okay, I'll give you 100 catties of first-line fire, and 20 catties of mountain peach stuffing. ”

"Okay," Chen Tianye said with great joy, "Brother Qingshi is enough buddy." As he spoke, he stuffed the bag of spirit stones into Qingshi's hand.

Qingshi didn't answer, and Zhengse said to Chen Tianye; "Brother Amano, it's not that I'm stingy, but although you have a lot of wine, I can't process it as fast as you think, and more importantly, I don't have much of the materials needed to make these two kinds of wine. I also want to give Brother Shen, Duan Seventh Brother, Zhang Hao and them, as well as Elder Ou and Dean Mo, they also want to keep some. ”

"So?" Chen Tianye was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Then I don't want mountain peaches to be stuffed, and it's not appropriate to take a hundred catties of first-line fire, so let's do it, you can give me fifty catties of first-line fire." You'll have to make it up to me later, though. ”

"Good! What about this spirit stone? Qingshi said deliberately.

"Naturally, it's all for you," Chen Tianye didn't mind, "I have a place where I might have to use a lot of money now, otherwise I'll give you some more spirit stones." Before I go back, I may have any spirit stones left, and if my brother needs it, I'll give it to you. ”

Qingshi knew that although Chen Tianye was a disciple of Mo Sihai, his family background was very ordinary, far from being comparable to the Chaoge Shen family and the Duan family. Therefore, I like Chen Tianye's true temperament and heroic style.

Qingshi laughed and said: "Brother Tianye will accompany me to the Great Wilderness Mountain of Mingshan in July next year, let's go collect some materials for winemaking, and it will be no problem to get you a few hundred catties of first-line fire at that time." ”

"Okay, it's decided." Chen Tianye was overjoyed, his eyes lit up and he was excited.

"Brother Amano should take these spirit stones back." Qingshi said lightly, "I only give away this wine, not sell it." ”

Seeing that Chen Tianye was still going to push, Qingshi had the intention to tease him, and with a wave of his hand, a large number of push-up spirit stones appeared on the table in front of him out of thin air, and there were seven or eight thousand pieces.

Chen Tianye was stunned for a while, then took back his spirit stone and muttered, "You old wealth, which family's treasure house you robbed!" ”

Then his eyes lit up and he said, "Why don't you go to the auction when you are so rich?" Is! In two days, it will be the biggest auction of the year in Chaoge, and I said that some places may need to use a lot of money to refer to this, how about it, do you want me to take you there? ”

"Okay!" Qingshi didn't know this information, but now that he knows it, he naturally won't miss it. The two chatted for a while, and made an appointment two days later that Chen Tianye would come to call Qingshi, and then Chen Tianye would leave.

Bluestone was busy in the underground cellar for two hours, until the distillation unit began to function, and then carefully checked the heat to let the whole unit run on its own, and came out to rest on its own.

As soon as he walked out of the wine cellar, he heard the doorbell ring again, but this time it was Duan Wutian and Shen Binghong and Shen Jiayun.

After entering the house and taking a seat, Bluestone asked; "Binghong Jiayun, when are you going back to Mingshan?" The Shen family is one of the six major families of Chaoge, but the mothers of Shen Feiyun and Shen Binghong and Shen Jiayun are from the Lin family of the five major families of Mingshan Kingdom, so basically they go to Mingshan Kingdom to live for a few days every holiday.

"I won't go back to see my grandparents this year," Shen Binghong frowned, "It's because of the last spaceship attack that my grandfather didn't allow it." ”

"By the way," Aoshi asked curiously, "what happened to that sneak attacker last time?" ”

"Dead." Duan Wutian continued, "He was injured and ran away at the time, and later my father personally shot after finding him." ”

"The den of the remnants of the Wu family has also been dug up by my Shen family," Shen Binghong said lightly, "Uncle Storm and Brother Haoyun led people to eradicate all of them over a hundred people. ”

"That's it," Shen Jiayun pouted, "It's all dead, what else is grandpa worried about?" I miss grandma. ”

Qingshi felt a little uncomfortable when he heard them speak, these hundreds of human lives were no different from grass mustard in their eyes, but this was the real social situation in the Tianlong World.

Qingshi regretted this casual question. Immediately changed the topic and asked, "You have all finished the exam, why didn't Brother Feiyun and Sister Xiaoyu come today?" ”

"Sister Xiaoyu is really," Shen Jiayun said dissatisfied, "I didn't come with us to invite Brother Qingshi, but I was invited to someone else's banquet." ”

"Huh?" Bluestone questioned the voice.

"Brother Qingshi is like this," Shen Jiayun said excitedly, "At this time of year, our Shen family and Duan family will let our juniors get together for a few days, in addition to the people of our Shen family and Duan family, we will also invite other people who are good friends with our two families, we are here to invite Brother Qingshi." ”

Duan Wutian said quietly: "Generally, outsiders are not invited, and most of them are the in-laws of our two families and the young children of affiliated families. ”

"Oh, that's right!" Qingshi looked directly at Duan Wutiandao, "What about Seventh Brother's opinion?" Should I go? ”

"I'm just being invited to go or not to you." Duan Wutian was a little embarrassed and said, "Xiaoyu didn't want to come, so she went to the banquet where the prince Jiang Chenying entertained the newly promoted students of the High Academy, this is a traditional program every year, and she doesn't want to go." The invitation is something that the two families have confessed, and it just so happens that I have other things to look for you, so I came. ”

"Thank you, Brother Seven," Qingshi said with a smile. Then he stared at Shen Binghong and asked, "Why didn't Brother Feiyun come?" ”

"Big brother, he," Shen Binghong lowered his head slightly, and after a while, he raised his eyes and looked at Qingshi Dao, "Big brother said that you won't go, so he won't come." ”

"What about you?" Qingshi continued to stare at Shen Binghong and asked.

"Naturally, I hope that Brother Qingshi will go," Shen Jiayun interjected, "Brother Qingshi, you will know if you go, there are many brothers and sisters, it is very fun." The eldest brother also has to bring a few brothers and sisters from the inner courtyard and the high court. ”

Shen Binghong lowered her head and did not speak.

Qingshi smiled silently, but remembered the words of his master Ou Changzhi, "It's a good thing that you are friendly with the descendants of the Duan family and the Shen family, but friendship is not clinging, you have to understand the difference." You are my disciple, a member of the Xuanmen, and there is no force in the world that is worthy of your clinging, including the royal family. ’

Qingshi naturally understood in his heart that if Shen Duan's two families were really good friends with him, they would invite him to be a guest alone. And now this kind of invitation is to treat himself as an ordinary person who is attached to the door.

As far as bluestone is concerned, even if there is no apprenticeship, even if there is no master's advice, it will not accept this kind of identity positioning.

Shen Jiayun didn't understand when he was young, but Duan Wutian Duan Xiaoyu Shen Feiyun and Shen Binghong understood, obviously Duan Xiaoyu didn't want to treat Qingshi like this, so he simply didn't come, although Duan Wutian came, he made it clear that he was acting on orders, and his own attitude was the same as Xiaoyu. Shen Binghong didn't say it explicitly, but it seemed that he hoped that Qingshi would accept this arrangement, and Shen Feiyun couldn't judge his attitude.

After a few breaths of silence, Qingshi smiled; "Brother Qi said that there is still something to find me?"

"That's right," Duan Wutian asked Qingshi with a smile, "Guess what I brought you?" ”

"Wouldn't it be a bar?" Qingshi smiled.

"That's right! Who else brought you wine? Duan Wutian asked curiously, "Chen Tianye's sassy beard?" ”

Duan Wutian brought wine to a different style, waving his hand, a row of ten two-foot-high large wine jars were neatly arranged on the big coffee table.

Duan Wutian said with a smile; "This is recognized as one of the top ten best wines in Chaoge, I have made a jar of each of them, and you can see which of the two fine wines you want to use, and I will buy whichever one is better."

"Brother Seventh has a heart," Qingshi said with a smile, "Leave these wines for me to taste, thank you Brother Seven." As for the base liquor for brewing mountain peach brew and a line of fire, it is ready, so you won't have to worry about it. In five days, please come to me, I will prepare some wine for you and Brother Feiyun, and please bring some for each of the two old men, just say that I have something to do during the holiday, which was ordered by Dean Mo, so I will not go to your mansion to disturb you, please forgive me. ”

Qingshi moved out of Dean Mo, Mo Sihai is his senior brother, naturally he will not blame, and the Duan and Shen families also know that Qingshi will never use Mo Sihai as a shield, so they naturally believe Qingshi's words. It's just that I know that the relationship between Mo Sihai and Qingshi is not ordinary, but it is not a bad thing for Qingshi.

After sending Duan Wutian and the three of them away, Qingshi returned to the wine cellar to check, but saw that the distillation device had begun to produce wine, and the distilled wine was like a trickle into a large wine vat, the wine was clear and transparent, and the wine aroma was rich.
