Chapter 30: Wine
Chu Xuan looked at Jiu'er, although this wine was not disgusted with himself, but he absolutely didn't like it, I don't know why, it was the same as the wine uncle.
Anyway, being idle now is idle, Chu Xuan followed Jiu'er into the alchemy room, and saw that there were all kinds of herbs placed inside, and there was an alchemy furnace that was not too big or small, with steaming flames beating in it, and smoke wafting out from time to time.
Jiu'er sat on the small bench, holding a small fan in his hand and fanning it casually, looking at the flames in front of him, not knowing if he was in a daze.
Jiu'er noticed that someone was there, and turned to see Chu Xuan, "Why did you come in?"
"I have some insight into herbs, maybe I can help you. Chu Xuan was very friendly.
"No need, I can handle it here, you can go and rest. The wine still responded politely.
Chu Xuan smiled, okay, since that's the case, then I'll leave, "Excuse me." ”
After turning to leave, Jiu'er turned around and glanced at Chu Xuan's back and sighed lightly.
After Chu Xuan returned to the house, he didn't know how Zhang Ye was, whether he could enter the Haoyue Hall smoothly after passing the second level, whether there would be a third level and a fourth level, thinking about it, with Li Xinyao here, with Zhang Ye's cultivation, there should be no big problem.
Soon it was nightfall, and the wine came knocking on the door, "It's time for dinner." ”
A small table had already been set up in the courtyard, with a few small dishes on it, and the wine man had already eaten there, and after the wine was seated, he chuckled at Chu Xuan, "Eat, it's all country dishes, let's eat it." ”
"Thank you," Chu Xuan didn't work, he ate and drank for nothing, so he naturally didn't dare to say anything.
It's just that after eating two bites of food, Chu Xuan really didn't dare to compliment the craftsmanship of the person who cooked, it was salty and light, and it was bearable, but it was not cooked, so it was a little difficult to swallow.
Seeing Chu Xuan's expression, the wine boy said, "If you think it's unpalatable, you can't eat it, it's really not ripe." ”
The wine took a bite on the side, spit it out, and got up, "I'll fry it again." ”
At this time, Chu Xuan was embarrassed, and hurriedly got up, "It's not good to eat and drink for nothing after all, it's better for me to fry it, how about it?"
Jiu'er looked at Chu Xuan, "You know how to cook?"
"It will be a little," Chu Xuan said, and then went into the kitchen, and after a general look, he understood it, and then cut meat, washed vegetables, and knife work, everything was very exquisite, and he couldn't tell what was wrong.
The wine was stunned when he watched from the sidelines, but he didn't expect this person to be able to cook.
Chu Xuan cooked there, he started cooking for Xiaowei for seven years since he was nine years old, plus his previous research on deliciousness, it was trivial to cook a few dishes after all.
After a while, the fragrance came, and even the wine man couldn't help but glance at Chu Xuan.
The dishes on the small table were replaced, although there were only three things, but they were full of color, flavor and flavor, which made people can't help but increase their appetite, and the wine man tasted it first, and nodded again and again, "Yes, the young man has a future, he can become a cook." ”
Chu Xuan chuckled, senior, I came here to cultivate immortals, not to be a cook.
After tasting the wine, I couldn't help but feel that my taste buds were satisfied, "It's delicious," and began to feast.
"It's just that you have too few ingredients, otherwise, you can make a lot. Chu Xuan ate very happily.
"I'll go find some tomorrow," said the wine, "and you ...... in the future," he said, and he shook his head and did not continue.
Seeing this, Chu Xuan glanced at the wine and didn't ask much.
Chu Xuan took out a bottle of wine, "Senior winemaker, this is my own wine, you can taste it, and you can also drink a little wine." ”
When the wine heard that he could drink it, he couldn't help but pause, "What wine?"
"Fruit wine, I make wine from fruit, and it's okay for children. Chu Xuan looked at the wine and thought of Xiaowei, in the past, Xiaowei liked to drink the wine he brewed very much, and even got drunk.
Jiu'er looked at the wine uncle, who sniffed it first and nodded, "You can only drink a little." ”
The wine was overjoyed, and hurriedly took the cup, and the wine man really poured her a little bit.
However, the wine was very satisfied, smelled it, and drank it slowly.
"Really, it doesn't have the spicy taste of wine, it has a faint taste of peaches, I like it. The wine smiled, reminiscing about the taste in his mouth, and smiled beautifully.
"This is peach blossom brewing, which I brew with peaches and peach blossoms. Chu Xuan said as he ate all the leftovers.
The wine uncle didn't seem to hear Chu Xuan's words at all, and drank it all in one gulp, "It's boring, there is no smell of wine." "But I still didn't have a drop left.
I still want to drink the wine, but when I see that the wine is finished, I give up.
The wine man got up, "It's not early, let's rest early." ”
Chu Xuan was stunned, isn't it, he has just finished eating and is about to sleep, isn't there a little nightlife?
The wine quickly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, but Chu Xuan couldn't help when he saw it.
Seeing that the wine uncle and Jiu'er had returned to the house, Chu Xuan had no choice but to go back to the house, "Calculate the time, it's just seven o'clock, and the news broadcast has just started, although it is said that it is okay to go to bed early and get up early, but is it too early." ”
Forget it, in this barren mountain and wilderness, I can't find anyone if I want to find it, and Jiu Bo and Jiu'er won't have anything to do with him, nor will they evaluate which girl is good-looking and beautiful like Zhang Ye, so I have to refine my qi.
This was Chu Xuan's first night in Xianmen, there was no welcome ceremony, no excited night, just a boring night of cultivation.
The wine man stood in the courtyard, looking at Chu Xuan's room with a calm face, and after a long time, he turned around and went back to the house.
In the morning, hearing movement in the courtyard, Chu Xuan opened the door, and saw that Jiu'er had already gotten up, and it was just dawn, so he glanced at Chu Xuan, "Morning." ”
"Jiu'er, why are you going?"
"I don't have a lot of herbs, I'm going to pick some and come back. ”
"I'll go with you, and I'll do morning exercises. ”
Jiu'er looked at Chu Xuan, "Are you sure you can keep up?"
Belch......
Seeing this, Chu Xuan was stunned, no wonder he couldn't sense what realm Jiu'er was when he saw Jiu'er, it turned out that he had already stepped into the realm of Qi Suppression, and he would naturally not be able to sense it when he was in the early stage of a small condensation.
Chu Xuan smiled embarrassedly, "The wine is mighty, I won't go, I'll make breakfast and wait for you to come back." ”
Jiu'er hesitated, but left.
A little girl of eight or nine years old had already attained this realm, and he was already sixteen years old this year, but he had only just cultivated.
It's also strange that I can't make progress, and it's really annoying.
Chu Xuan thought about it, a breakfast was a piece of cake for him, and after he finished it, the wine had not yet returned.
Chu Xuan was bored, so he entered the alchemy room, looked at the Dan furnace that was not extinguished, smelled the smell in the air, I didn't know what pill was being refined, but the herbs around were disorganized, maybe it would be good to clean it up.
With Chu Xuan's ability to distinguish medicines, the herbs here are all just trivial, and they are done very quickly, "It's done!"
"Looks like you're really familiar with herbs. "I don't know when the wine appeared at the door.
Chu Xuan turned around, "Perhaps, I can help you." ”
Jiu'er glanced at the breakfast in the courtyard and hesitated briefly, "Okay." ”
In the next few days, Chu Xuan and Jiu Bo and Jiu'er got along very well, Chu Xuan was always able to make delicious food, which made Jiu Bo and Jiu'er full of praise, Chu Xuan also helped Jiu'er a lot in alchemy, and Jiu'er's attitude towards Chu Xuan was no longer the previous politeness and faint coldness, and began to smile sincerely at him.
It's night.
Chu Xuan was still practicing, and the wine uncle stood in the courtyard, looking at Chu Xuan, and Jiu'er walked out, "Master, what's wrong?"
The wine man looked at Jiu'er, "Regarding Chu Xuan's notice, it arrived three days ago, and I didn't tell him, but you also know that it won't take long." ”
When Jiu'er heard this, the joy of the past few days was swept away, and his face was sentimental for a long time.
"Jiu'er, you also know that we are here," said the wine uncle, "Chu Xuan is a good seedling, and he can't be wasted with us." ”
"I know, Master, I'm going back to alchemy. Jiu'er turned around and entered the alchemy room.
The wine man looked at the lost and sentimental back of the wine and sighed lightly.
Jiu'er sat in front of the alchemy furnace, holding the peach blossom brew that Chu Xuan secretly gave her, the small characters on it were still written by herself, although she knew that there would be such a day, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly, she just had a good impression of Chu Xuan, and she was about to leave again.
Jiu'er smiled and drank a whole bottle of peach blossom brew directly, why does the originally sweet wine have some bitter taste now.
Chu Xuan didn't know these things in the room, and the realm of Jiu Bo and Jiu'er was higher than him, so it was easy to hide it from him.
Suddenly, Chu Xuan opened his eyes suddenly, as if he felt something.
It's wine!
rushed out of the house directly and went straight to the alchemy room, and saw Jiu'er drunk on the ground, with wine bottles rolling down in his hand, and the flames in the alchemy furnace in front of him were burning too strongly, and they were on the verge of exploding.
Chu Xuan flew in, picked up the wine directly, and rushed out.
The next moment, the alchemy furnace exploded, and the explosion alarmed the wine uncle, who waved his hand to prevent the spread of the explosion, but the alchemy room was destroyed.
Chu Xuan lay on the ground, using his body to protect the wine.
Seeing this, the wine uncle couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart, and what he originally wanted to say to Chu Xuan hesitated, but finally didn't say it.
The explosion woke up Jiu'er, Jiu'er looked at Chu Xuan, who was protecting her, and glanced up at Jiu Bo, the two seemed to have tacitly agreed that they could delay it for as long as they could.
"Jiu'er, it's okay!" Chu Xuan looked Jiu'er up and down, and found that there were no injuries, so he still asked urgently.
Jiu'er shook her head, "It's okay." ”
Chu Xuan put his mind at ease, sat up and looked at the destroyed alchemy room, "It seems that you are going to rebuild the house." ”
It was a minor accident and a minor episode.
Jiu'er has other rooms, and there will not be no place to stay because an alchemy room is destroyed.
The wine uncle didn't say anything, and he didn't blame Jiu'er for drinking and making mistakes, which Chu Xuan appreciated very much.
Morning.
Jiu'er knocked on the door, "Chu Xuan, do you want to go with me to find herbs?"
"Okay!" Chu Xuan responded.
