Volume 2: Jiang Nanchun Chapter 105, spirits are hard to find

After a while, the little couple successively moved out twenty jars of wine from the back yard and put them in the front yard, Tian Zhiyu saw that they had finished moving and said, "I'll call my carriage over later, and I'll trouble the two of you to help me get into the car." ”

"Well, it's all we should do," the young man laughed.

Tian Zhiyu thought about alcohol, and then said: "I also want to ask you a question, you have seen a lot of wine-making, have you ever known what the strongest wine in the world is?"

The couple was stunned for a moment, and finally the little lady said: "The strongest wine?" Our family has been making wine for generations, and if you want to say that the strongest wine is the eighteen-year-old daughter who is red, but the rice wine you just tasted with your son is only a little stronger." ”

Tian Zhiyu inquired, and the eighteen-year-old daughter Hong also sealed the rice wine she just bought and treasured it in the ground or in the wine cellar, and then took it out after many years.

Then this daughter's red is still rice wine, and the degree is still not high.

"Both, I want to visit your winemaking process, I wonder if it's okay?" Tian Zhiyu asked.

The young man's face was embarrassed, and the little lady just thought for a moment and then smiled: "Why not? The brewing process is not a secret thing, so if you want to visit, come with me." ”

Tian Zhiyu followed her inside, watching her move lightly, and the indescribable grace of her waist, she was a little stunned for a while.

When she walked to their wine cellar, the little lady stood still and turned around, saw Tian Zhiyu's eyes, smiled shyly, and hurriedly said: "Childe, please take a look, this is our family's wine-making workshop, if you have any questions, you can just say it." ”

Tian Zhiyu hurriedly put away his gaze, stabilized his mind, and looked in the direction pointed by the little lady.

The temperature in this brewery is extremely high, several large boilers are burning, and there are large steaming drawers on the stove, which are full of wine-making grains, and the aroma of wine is exuded under the high temperature baking.

He looked carefully, after reading the whole process, he didn't see the distillation device, and asked the couple again, only to know that there is no such thing as distillation in this world, no wonder there is no high number of wine.

Tian Zhiyu remembered again that time at the house of Bayin Silu, the hunter of Beiyi Country, he drank a very strong wine, and the degree of that wine should be forty or fifty degrees, I don't know why Beiyi has such strong wine, but the Central Plains does not.

"Two, I once drank a very strong wine in Beiyi, although the taste is not good, but it is very strong, I don't know if you know their method of making wine?" Tian Zhiyu said.

The husband and wife were a little puzzled, and the little lady said: "I haven't heard of this, I only know that Beiyi people love to drink, but I have never seen their wine." ”

This is strange, could it be that the Beiyi people have mastered the distillation technology of wine?

"Then have you tried to increase the degree of your liquor by a large margin, such as distillation?" Tian Zhiyu asked again.

"Distillation?What is that?How to do it?" The husband and wife looked at each other, puzzled by Tian Zhiyu's words.

Tian Zhiyu said simply, saying that with distillation, these wines can remove a large part of the water in them, which can make them stronger and more fragrant to drink.

The husband and wife were even more confused, and their faces were incredulous.

Tian Zhiyu didn't want to say more to them, thinking that it would be better to go back and test it himself, and if it was successful, he could come back and introduce it to them.

After a brief chat with them, Tian Zhiyu went to ask the coachman to drive the carriage over, loaded the wine and went home.

When he returned home, Ulihan was very curious to see that he had bought so much wine, and hurriedly asked him why he bought it.

Tian Zhiyu thought that he couldn't explain it clearly in a few words, so he simply said that it was for experimentation, and Wu Lihan was even more unrelievable, since ancient times, he had not heard that wine was needed to grow grain and vegetables.

However, he also knew that Tian Zhiyu knew a lot, and his whimsical ideas were endless, so he only said that he had his own reasons for doing so.

At this moment, the housekeeper said that the jade flute girl and Liu Ying'er girl from the drunken fairy building were here again, and they were at the door, Tian Zhiyu hurriedly asked the housekeeper to invite the two of them in.

He had already told Wu Lihan about the identities of Yu Xiao and Liu Ying'er, and also said that they were likely to be inextricably linked with Su Yijin. Wu Lihan didn't care about this, but he liked the songs he wrote for Yu Xiao very much, and admired Tian Zhiyu more and more.

When the two girls arrived at Tian Zhiyu's room, Yu Xiao hadn't said anything, Liu Ying'er couldn't wait to sit next to Tian Zhiyu, holding his arm and telling him about his sister's magical experience in the past few days.

However, the little girl did not match the preamble, and then Yu Xiao sat down and gave him a detailed account of the experience of the past few days.

It turned out that since Yu Xiao made two "Nanxiangzi" in public, she suddenly had the title of the first talented woman in the Qinglou in Yuhang, and the number of people who came to listen to her singing was several times more than before, and the shopkeeper and the boss were naturally very happy, but it made the three college deans and Miss Chu Chu very faceless.

Especially the three deans, who wanted to use their own fame and a little talent to help Miss Chu Chu emerge, who would have thought that the jade flute, which is not obvious on weekdays, suddenly created three wonderful little songs, especially the words of these three small songs, which made the entire Yuhang readers crazy.

On this day, the three deans came to be judges again, and when placing bets before the game, almost everyone put the bet on Yu Xiao, and after taking the stage, Miss Chu Chu's face was very bad, and her performance was also abnormal, so it stands to reason that the score should definitely be won by Miss Yu Xiao.

But the three deans finally agreed that Miss Chu Chu won, and Ge Zhihuan, the leader of the three deans, also deliberately said all kinds of shortcomings in the performance of the jade flute girl, which caused the audience to heckle for a while.

Next, Ge Zhihuan's words are more targeted, saying that the jade flute girl has recently written a few good little songs, and the reverse is quite good, maybe because of these few small songs, the jade flute girl is very proud, relaxed the piano practice, and hopes that the jade flute girl will guard against arrogance and rashness, and create new songs.

One of the scholars below was immediately dissatisfied, saying that the audience still felt that the jade flute girl played better, and did not dare to agree with the three referees' punishments.

Hearing this, Ge Zhihuan's face immediately changed greatly, and he asked which academy the scholar belonged to, and then he teased and sarcastically said that most of the people below are inextricably linked with the three major academies, and when they saw Ge Zhihuan speaking in the name of the academy, they all dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak.

And then Miss Chu Chu sang a new song, the lyrics of the song were created by the three deans racking their brains, but the slightly talented people below can hear it, this word obviously has traces of plagiarism from the lyrics of the jade flute girl, but under the pressure of the three deans, they only dared to whisper, and no one stood up again.

When the jade flute girl came to the stage, she first expressed her gratitude to the audience for their support, and then expressed her complete belief in the judgment of the three deans, and finally said that she had also created a few songs recently, but the style was not quite the same as before, and I hope the audience likes it.

The three deans thought that the girl had written wonderful words again, and when they were apprehensive, they heard the girl sing a tune they had never heard before, not only had they not heard the tune, but the lyrics were even more unheard of.

And after singing the song "See the Smoke Again", the people below have gone crazy, they never thought that the song could be sung like this, it could be so good, it could be so straightforward and beautiful.

For a while, the drunken immortal building cheered like a tide, and the applause was thunderous, and many people couldn't wait to come forward and surround the jade flute girl.

The three deans sat there dumbfounded, unable to figure out how the three of them thought they had created a song that they thought was not bad, thinking that they would win the battle, but who would have thought that the jade flute girl would directly change her style and use a hand to make their wishful thinking all come to naught.

That's not all, the jade flute girl then sang a song "The Moon Represents My Heart", which once again ignited the audience and pushed the atmosphere of the whole night to the climax. When the audience kept shouting the name of Yu Xiao, the three deans had no choice but to leave in disgrace.

From the next day, the two songs of the jade flute girl were sung in the streets and alleys of Yuhang, and these two familiar melodies could be heard everywhere you went.

And the jade flute girl has suddenly become a word-of-mouth figure in Yuhang, and everyone thinks that in the Qinglou ring competition of the Qingming Festival, it is not surprising that the drunken fairy building is going to win the championship again.

Tian Zhiyu is also very happy to hear the two of them tell me word by word, the charm of pop songs is that no matter when and where, as long as someone sings it, it will immediately get the favor of the vast majority of people and become a trend.

In order to celebrate the success of the jade flute girl, Tian Zhiyu proposed to open a jar of wine to celebrate, Wu Lihan had not drunk for many days, and he was a little greedy, plus the two beauties of the jade flute girl and Liu Ying'er as companions, the four of them quickly began to raise their glasses and drink.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Tian Zhiyu said to Yu Xiao: "Miss Yu Xiao, my big brother Wu Li Han has not heard you sing, while the room is stir-frying, you can sing two paragraphs to my big brother Wu Lihan." ”

Tian Zhiyu spoke, and Yu Xiao had no reason not to agree. So she put down her glass and sang the two songs softly.

Wu Lihan has already heard Tian Zhiyu hum, but although Tian Zhiyu's singing is not bad, compared with the jade flute, there is always so much less softness and tactfulness, and when the jade flute is finished, Wu Lihan is also drunk for a while.

"Sure enough, it's worthy of an oiran, and it's no wonder that those viewers like the jade flute girl, this voice is really heavenly," Wu Lihan couldn't help but praise.

Tian Zhiyu saw that Wu Lihan looked at the jade flute girl with a little tenderness in his eyes, and the gossip heart in his heart began to rise, thinking about finding time to ask the jade flute girl when she was free, if she could, she had to match the two.

After three rounds of drinking, several people were more happy, Liu Ying'er said: "Tian Gongzi, can you write a few more songs for my sister, she finally has such a reputation now, if there are no fresh songs, I'm afraid those sons will trouble her again." ”

Hearing Liu Ying'er's words, Yu Xiao immediately stopped her and said: "Ying'er must not be rude, didn't Gongzi say last time, writing songs also requires chance, you think that Tian Gongzi's stomach is full of songs, write as much as you want." ”

Tian Zhiyu could see that Liu Ying'er was really worried about her sister, but it was impossible for her to write songs for her all the time, there were still a lot of songs in her stomach, but those were all prepared for Su Yijin.

"Indeed, writing a song really requires chance, sometimes you feel it, you can write a few songs at once, sometimes you don't feel anything, and you may not be able to write a song for a few months," Tian Zhiyu said.

Liu Ying'er's little face immediately drooped, looking very worried.

"But I've been writing a story recently, I've already written half of it, I'll show it to the jade flute girl, if you think it's not bad, you can find a few people to perform it together," After speaking, Tian Zhiyu went to the desk and took the half-written "Peony Pavilion" over to the desk.

After Yu Xiao took it, Liu Ying'er also immediately leaned over to look, and when she saw Tian Zhiyu's words, Yu Xiao just pursed her lips and smiled.

"Shut up Ying'er, the child's talent is unparalleled, and his thoughts are surging, he has to write it down quickly, of course he won't write it seriously, you think it's all the same as you, a Tang poem is written for a day," Yu Xiao was afraid that Tian Zhiyu would be embarrassed, so he hurriedly drank Liu Ying'er.

In fact, Tian Zhiyu didn't care what others thought of his words, he didn't plan to take the imperial examination, and he didn't rely on this to eat, as long as others could understand it.

In the process of reading the script, the light in Yu Xiao's eyes became more and more vibrant, especially Duan also hummed softly, and said a little excitedly after reading it: "Childe's story is really well written, much better than those Tang legends, Yu Xiao likes it very much." ”

Tian Zhiyu was a little strange, and hurriedly asked: "I just wrote the story, how can you actually sing it?"

Yu Xiao pursed his lips and smiled: "There are many passages here, you can use ready-made minor keys, Yu Xiao has learned from his master since he was a child, and there are some things that Yu Xiao has never seen, and he can also make up a song when he goes, it is not difficult to think about it." ”

Tian Zhiyu couldn't help but admire these Qinglou women a little, many minor tunes came as soon as they opened their mouths, and the arrangement was not a problem, the jade flute girl in front of her was, Su Yijin who was far away in Taiyuan and Wen Suyi in the capital were also.

But when I thought of the training that Liu Ying'er received every day, I was immediately relieved, how many teachers they had trained and how much hardship they had endured to achieve today's achievements, how easy it was to be an Oiran.

He couldn't help but think of a sentence in the movie Farewell My Concubine: How did they get into the corners? How many beatings do they have to take?
