As he spoke, he gently opened the lid of the altar. This time, the rich aroma of wine rose to the sky, and the smell of wine, which had been sealed in the jar for thousands of years, poured out in all directions like a flood.

It was not good to scream, and Shen Wansan, who was closest to him, hurriedly held his breath and covered his eyes with his hands at the same time. The next moment, the smell of wine instantly swept over the three people present.

The experienced Shen Wansan and Xi Yingzhen naturally took precautions, but Bai Xiaoyi, who was stunned, was firmly put together. The young man who thought that he would be safe by blocking his mouth and nose, but he didn't expect that the smell of alcohol was so strong that it would hurt his eyes. The moment he felt the smell of wine, Bai Xiaoyi only felt a sudden coolness in his eyes, and then a burning sting pain suddenly erupted in his eyes. The young man's eyes, which I don't know if it was spicy or stinging, kept holding tears, and Bai Xiaoyi struggled and rolled on the ground.

What's even more amazing is that the wine smell emitted by the jar of grape wine has attracted several wild birds in the forest. These little guys, attracted by the smell of wine, still couldn't understand what was happening, and they were swept away by the second round of alcohol. Immediately afterward, a dozen or so birds, large and small, fluttered and fell directly from the trees above. Their limbs twitched, and they were all drunk.

After stagnating for a while, waiting for the wine to evaporate, Shen Wansan cautiously leaned his head over. I saw that at the bottom of the dark wine jar, there was a layer of milky white paste that was inch thick. As soon as he saw these ointments, Shen Wansan exclaimed in surprise:

"Yes, there really is! Boy, you're making a lot of money now!"

Looking at the thin old man who was already a little crazy, Bai Xiaoyi covered his eyes and shouted:

"What's the matter, old man, you can tell me clearly, oops, my eyes ......"

Hurriedly sealing the wine jar, Shen Wansan was a little at a loss and said to himself:

"Okay, well, thirty catties of wine jar, there can be five or six catties of wine paste left. With a little blending, these wine creams can at least make hundreds of catties of excellent wine. Oh my God, stinky boy, your Linjiang Building will become the most expensive restaurant in Yingtianfu!"

Struggling to get up from the ground, Bai Xiaoyi opened his red and swollen eyes and asked puzzledly:

"Uncle Shen, what do you mean by this?"

happily patting this junior, who was more and more pleasing to the eye, Shen Wansan happily explained:

"Let me tell you, if the wine paste that has been stored for decades is gold, then the wine paste of your jar Du Kang is the heavenly elixir. As long as a small spoonful of wine paste can be brewed into more than ten catties of excellent wine. Let's sell it according to a pound and a thousand taels, and you can calculate how much you can earn!"

Surprised, his jaw was a little closed, and Bai Xiaoyi stammered:

"One...... One thousand taels...... Isn't it too dark......"

"Nonsense! You are a thousand-year-old Du Kang, do you know how valuable this thing is! Don't say a thousand taels, if it is put in the hands of someone who knows how to do it, he will feel that he has earned 10,000 taels if you ask him. ”

After calming down his excited mood, Shen Wansan said with some embarrassment:

"But at the moment, this tool and environment are not good, if you directly use this spring water to flush it, it will be too violent......

He glanced at Bai Xiaoyi beside him and asked tentatively:

"Xiao Yi, can you trust Uncle Shen?"

Blinking blankly, Bai Xiaoyi asked inexplicably:

"Trustworthy, what's wrong?"

"Okay, I'll wait and transport these three jars of wine to Linjiang Building first, and then I will send a special brewer to help mix out a batch of these jars of wine first. It can be used for your own drinking, or it can be used to give your Linjiang Tower a signboard. ”

Looking at the thin old man in front of him with a happy face, Bai Xiaoyi gave a deep salute:

"Xiao Yi, thank you Uncle Shen. You can rest assured, not only these three jars will be given to you, but when the good wine is brewed, you can come and get it directly when you want to drink it. As long as I have it, Uncle Shen can take it and use it as you like!"

Looking at the scoundrel boy in front of him with approval in his eyes, Shen Wansan said loudly:

If I hadn't known your character, I'd have wanted to take you as my godson. However, Uncle Shen can't take advantage of you in vain, so let's do it, I don't have much else, just a lot of money. Aren't you going to walk the rivers and lakes later, then I'll send you some entanglements. It doesn't take too much, one million taels is enough. ”

Almost suffocated to death in one breath, Bai Xiaoyi's eyes widened and said:

"One million taels!! are you kidding!!"

Replaced with a cousin with a serious face, Shen Wansan said in a deep voice:

"Don't you think I'm joking? Not to mention the good wine, these three jars alone are worth the price. This money should be regarded as an uncle's favor to repay you, as long as it is a major state and county government, you can find my Shen family's safe money bank, you can redeem it at any time. Later, I'll make you a special seal, and as long as you have a seal, you can have as much money as you want. ”

Bai Xiaoyi, who was a little confused, just wanted to refuse, but Shen Wansan continued to add:

"If you feel that this money is not stable, then I will take a stake in your Linjiang Building. In the future, I will draw 10% of the annual dividend. In the same way, I will also send someone to help you take care of the business of the restaurant, when you are not in Yingtian, your brother and sister-in-law, I Shen Wansan will help you take care of it!"

With a heavy fist, Bai Xiaoyi said gratefully:

"Then Xiao Yi thanked Uncle Shen for his generous gift. ”

With a smile on his face, he helped up the young man in front of him, and Shen Wansan asked with concern:

"I don't know when you master and apprentice plan to set off, so I can prepare a practice feast for you. ”

Looking at the green-shirted Taoist on the side, Bai Xiaoyi replied respectfully:

"If nothing else, we're going to leave in three days. ”

After a moment of silence, the thin old man said firmly:

"Okay, two days later, you call your friends, and we'll have a banquet in Linjiang Tower. When the time comes, let everyone taste our first batch of excellent wines!"

Just as Bai Xiaoyi was drinking wine and chatting in the Bao'en Temple, Ao Cangfeng, who had just recovered from his serious injury, was standing alone on a canopy boat in the Qinhuai River with his giant sword on his back.

Not far behind him, a boatman with a hat was working hard to steer the boat.

Suddenly, the punter under the hat suddenly said in a hoarse voice:

"Cangfeng, how are things going?"

The young man with the sword standing proudly in the bow of the ship did not look back, he only replied in a respectful tone:

"Everything is as entrusted by the master, I have approached Zhu Yuanzhang, and I have been rewarded with an official position of a brocade guard for thousands of households. ”

Nodding with satisfaction, Wan Guizang, who disguised himself as a boat bearer, said gloomily and approvingly:

"Well done! You are indeed my proudest disciple. But then, you have to be more careful. Zhu Yuanzhang is suspicious by nature, if he wants to trust you completely, he has to observe you for at least a year and a half. During this time, you will be able to do your brocade clothes and guard thousands of households, and it is best to make more contributions. When you can take Yan Jin's place, your mission will be completed. ”

After bowing his head and hesitating for a moment, Ao Cangfeng said with some uncertainty:

"Master, do I have to stay in the capital? My friend is very important to Zhu Yuanzhang, if I follow him, maybe ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the old man under the hat shouted in a deep voice:

"Enough is enough! Remember your identity, those things of brotherhood, can't affect the master's plan. Bai Xiaoyi's young man is indeed a little interesting, but his business has nothing to do with you. Remember, your task is only to get close to Zhu Yuanzhang, gain his trust, and then pass on all his opinions about the government and the successor. ”

A look of surprise flashed across his face, and Ao Cangfeng seemed to have a premonition of what kind of huge whirlpool he would be involved in. He asked, somewhat confused:

"Master, in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang is also a good emperor, what we do, will we become sinners through the ages?"

Snorted lightly, Wan Gui Zang under the hat said compassionately:

"Don't worry, don't feel guilty, we are not doing bad things that will bring disaster to the country and the people. Remember, our master is also Ming orthodox, and you are loyal to their Zhu family inside and out. ”

The body trembled unconsciously, and Ao Cangfeng asked with some astonishment:

"Could it be, some prince?"

Hit the board of the boat with a bamboo pole heavily, and Wan Guizang reprimanded sharply:

"Shut up! Don't ask what you shouldn't!"

After a long silence, the inconspicuous awning boat slowly leaned against the shore.

The old man under the hat whispered while rubbing shoulders with the arrogant wind:

"After that, I'm going back to the Tibetan Sword Villa, and you can adapt to the affairs of the capital. Remember to go to Dieyi regularly to exchange information about you, and keep me informed if anything is unusual. ”

Nodding slightly, the young man with the sword just wanted to say something, but he saw the old man in the boat under the hat, who had already driven the canopy boat far away.

Looking up at the increasingly gloomy sky, Ao Cangfeng said with some bitterness:

"Looks like it's going to rain again......"
