[The second update, ask for a subscription monthly pass]
"Who is the old man just now, why did he just walk into the Zhaoxian Pavilion like this, is this a certain Confucian, or a craftsman with special skills, but he is dressed up and looks very ordinary, who is it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Judging from his steps and expression when he entered the Zhaoxian Pavilion, he was calm and confident, and he was definitely not a mediocre person, who doesn't know now that the specifications of the Zhaoxian Pavilion are very high, and the average scholar show can only get into it, and it is impossible to easily seek a high position, so he can only start from the most basic. ā
"This old man is not young, if he is really knowledgeable, then he is really likely to be a Confucian level of talent. Once you pass the test, you can be entrusted with important tasks and obtain a high position in Xuanhuang City. ā
"It is said that there was a descendant of the Zongheng family who entered the Zhaoxian Pavilion before, and as soon as he passed the test, he was entrusted with a heavy task and was reused. Talent can be reused anywhere. ā
Outside the Zhaoxian Pavilion, someone saw the old man striding into the Zhaoxian Pavilion, and couldn't help but start talking curiously.
This discussion, but found that not many people really know this old man. It seems a little mysterious, not that the mountains and rivers were not visible before, that is, the new residents who have settled in Xuanhuang City in the recent period.
The old man had only been in for a short time.
I saw that Huang Chengyan was talking with the old man with a smile on his face and walked out, walking hand in hand, and the two sides talked very enthusiastically. I can't help Huang Chengyan not be enthusiastic, it's really too big for this old man. So big that even he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. I was even more shocked than when I saw Mao Sui.
Hearing that he wanted to go to the City Lord's Mansion and meet the City Lord, he immediately agreed without hesitation.
With the leadership of Huang Chengyan, it is naturally unimpeded all the way.
Yi Tianxing happened to be in the City Lord's Mansion.
It wasn't long after Ye Zhiqiu left.
Looking at Jiuquan, he and Cai Yan found a place and put the spring with their own hands. The spring is in the castle lord's mansion, and naturally forms a pool. In the pool, the spring naturally began to gather the vitality of heaven and earth, and the spring water bubbled out little by little, exuding a trace of strange wine fragrance, but this wine fragrance was imprisoned by an invisible force and completely confined in a certain area.
Let the aroma of the wine not completely escape.
As much as possible, the news of Jiuquan is always controlled within a certain area.
"Huang Lao brought another old man over, and it was from the Zhaoxian Pavilion, it seems that we are going to add another great talent to Xuanhuang City. Yi Tianxing looked at the Jiuquan in front of him and said with a smile.
is not a real top talent, Huang Chengyan's character is impossible to bring to him so eagerly. It's like Mao Sui before, only such people can get different treatment.
This is the treatment that comes with their abilities.
Others don't envy it.
As long as you are talented, Yi Tianxing can meet you as soon as possible.
Soon, Yi Tianxing saw Huang Chengyan and the old man in the pavilion in the backyard.
The old man's appearance did not have much specialty, but one thing was obvious, that is, his nose was rosacea, with a hint of red light, but it didn't seem to be an ordinary rosacea, the red light on it could be hidden, and once hidden, it was no different from a normal nose.
This is already an ability.
At this moment, the old man's nose was dark red, and under the slight sensation, the faint smell in the air that had long been eliminated was still clearly presented in his perception.
"That's right, it's the aroma of wine, it's that strange aroma of wine, it's really here, this is the source, what is it, tell me what the treasure of that wine is. As long as I can have it, I can brew the most perfect spirit wine immortal brew. ā
I saw that after the old man smelled the residual smell in the air, he immediately rushed to Yi Tianxing with an excited expression, grabbed his arm, and shouted loudly.
His expression was unusually excited, and he almost didn't spit flying.
"You can smell the wine, you're a winemaker. ā
Yi Tianxing frowned slightly, the aroma of wine in the air had disappeared for at least a quarter of an hour. In such a situation, a normal monk could not smell it, at least he could not feel it, but the old man could detect it. Obviously, the nose is extraordinary. Coupled with his sensitivity to wine, the meaning expressed under various words can already be guessed that his identity is related to winemaking.
"Lord, this is the ancestor of wine, the legendary inventor of wine, Mr. Du Kangdu. ā
Huang Chengyan opened his mouth to introduce.
"What, you're Du Kang. ā
This sentence made Yi Tianxing stunned on the spot, and he felt a burst of disbelief in his heart.
Who is Du Kang, as long as this is a person from Huaxia, there is not much that he doesn't know.
This is the legendary ancestor of winemaking.
According to legend, in the time of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times, there was a man named Du Kang, who was specifically responsible for managing grain.
At that time, with the development of agriculture, there was a bumper harvest of grain every year. However, there was too much food to eat, so they had to store it in a cave, which was dark and damp, and after a long time, all the grain rotted. Seeing this, Du Kang began to think hard about how to store grain.
On this day, Du Kang went for a walk in the woods and found a few dead trees, leaving only thick, empty trunks. Du Kang had an idea and poured all the grain into the dry trunk of the tree. After some time, Du Kang came to the woods to inspect the grain, and he was surprised to find some wild boars, goats, and rabbits lying in front of the dead trees where the grain was stored, motionless, as if they were dead. He hurriedly approached to see what was going on: the trunk of the tree that used to hold grain had cracked a few cracks, and water continued to seep from the inside out. It seems that these animals licked and ate the water before lying down.
But what kind of water is this, Du Kang leaned over to smell it, only to feel a fresh fragrance coming to his face, he couldn't help but taste a few sips of this strong perfume, and suddenly felt refreshed. Later, Du Kang took the strong perfume home and invited everyone to taste it. In this way, wine gradually became popular among the people, and Du Kang was also revered as the "God of Wine".
This unintentional act gave rise to the unique beauty of wine.
Moreover, Du Kang was not satisfied with this.
Instead, he began to study carefully, and the whole grains can be used to make wine, which has an excellent taste, and if you add all kinds of rare and exotic fruits, unique elixirs. Is it possible to make the brewed sake more delicious, or even have a unique effect? Take the taste to the next level.
So, under Du Kang's careful research, under the accumulation of failures again and again. The result is a sake that is even more magical. When you drink it, it tastes amazing, and it has the wonderful power to make people forget their sorrows.
This wine, named after Du Kang himself, is called Du Kang wine.
In particular, Du Kang wine, in the history of China, has shed a variety of legends.
Du Kang wine is in history, has the reputation of "tribute wine" and "immortal wine".
With the literati of the past dynasties and it has formed an indissoluble bond, often with poetry wine, wine to brew poetry, poetry to increase the meaning of wine, wine to help poetry, staggered, Huazhang sweat cow.
Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, wrote a poem: "We should be generous, and our worries are unforgettable; ā
The poet saint Du Fuyun: "Du Kang frequently persuades, Zhang Li does not ask for anything else."
Cihao Su Shi left a drunken saying: "Now Dongpo Bao, do not establish Du Kangxi."
The poet Ruan, one of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest", said that "he is not happy with Shi Eun, but only values Du Kang".
These deeds have made the status and height of Du Kang wine in the wine reach its peak. There is no wine in the world that can reach the height of Du Kang. This is not a joke.
It was only later that the recipe for making Du Kang was completely lost. Let the Du Kang wine gradually disappear into history.
Even if an altar occasionally appears, it can be coaxed and robbed, and it is worth a thousand gold.
What appears now is not the recipe of Du Kang, but the living Du Kang, the legendary god of wine, the wine fairy. How can this not make Yi Tianxing feel shocked and stunned.
"It turned out to be Mr. Du. Yi Tianxing has been looking forward to the Du Kang wine you brewed for a long time, but unfortunately, the Du Kang wine is only known by its name and cannot be tasted. Originally, I thought that it would be impossible to have the opportunity to taste Du Kang wine in this life and this life, but now that Du Lao is here, I will definitely be able to fulfill my wish. ā
Yi Tianxing's face showed a strong look of joy. Said with a smile.
I feel that the old man in front of me is so pleasing to the eye.
"Du Kang is just a winemaker, Du Kang wine is just a little famous, between heaven and earth, there are countless winemakers who are smarter than me, how dare Du be arrogant. The way of winemaking, beware of sincerity. Sincerity is the only way to make the finest wines. ā
When Du Kang heard it, he shook his head directly and said.
This is the way of sincerity, if you don't care, how can you make the most perfect wine. That's just a luxury. The secret ingredient of his winemaking is only two words, and that is heart.
"Attentiveness is precisely the hardest part. Any skill, as long as you are willing to study, will eventually achieve something, but this is also related to talent, there is no doubt that Du Lao you have this kind of talent in wine. ā
Yi Tianxing made no secret of his admiration for Du Kang's words.
In any case, this Du Kang is the best of the winemakers. His talent is rare in the world. He has a relationship with wine.
"Before, I smelled a strange aroma of wine on Ye Xian's body, like wine but not wine, but it was natural, and now I am in the City Lord's Mansion, and I smell this fragrance again. This is definitely the jewel of the wine line. I don't know if the city lord can tell me what kind of strange thing it is. ā
Du Kang felt that his whole heart was itching, and he could already be sure that the strange thing in the wine was definitely in the City Lord's Mansion.
"Elder Du, please come with me. ā
Yi Tianxing nodded, he didn't expect that the existence of Jiuquan could make the ancestor of the wine hidden in the city visible, and he chose to enter the Zhaoxian Pavilion without hesitation, just to see what the strange thing in the wine was.
Cai Yan was also surprised in his heart, and his eyes were full of wonder. Du Kang's name, she naturally couldn't have known it.
