Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Brewing Competition

The wine that Ye Lei took out attracted Fu Bo's attention, but Yin Qianbei didn't have any reaction, because he had been drinking this kind of wine for the past few days, but when he drank this wine for the first time, he had almost the same reaction as Fu Bo in front of him, because he had never drunk this kind of wine before.

"What a bold method, there are still people who use fruit to make wine!" Fu Bo drank a few more sips at this time, but this way of drinking was a bit violent in Ye Lei's opinion, but he also admired this Fu Bo in front of him, who could resist the sourness of the red wine that had not woken up, and tasted the taste.

"Fauber, you're drinking in the wrong way. Ye Lei looked at Fauber at this time, and said with a smile, "This wine is made from grapes, if you drink it directly after opening it, you won't taste the real taste of it, this kind of wine needs a process of waking up, for example, now, Fauber, will you try it again?"

"It's amazing, the sourness just now is gone, the wine can be so sweet, although it is sweet, but it is not the kind of simple sweetness, in the aroma of the wine contains the sweetness of the fruit, this sweetness is so wonderful, I never thought that the wine could be sweet. ”

"Not only that, but the sweetness in the mouth, and the bitterness that cuts through the throat, this wine is a delicacy that we have never tasted before. Yin Qianbei looked at Ye Lei at this time and said, "But this kid didn't tell me how to make this wine all the way, which also made me angry." ”

"Hahaha, how can I tell you the secret recipe of winemaking?" Fu Bo looked at Ye Lei at this time and said, "Although your wine has a different way, there is one biggest disadvantage of this wine of yours, if you participate in the winemaking competition, your wine will be eliminated if nothing else." ”

"Wine is often a supplement to food, the purpose of our winemaking is not only to make the wine delicious, but also to use the taste of wine to stimulate the graceful taste of the food itself, but your wine itself is sweet enough, it seems that it is not suitable for participating in the competition at all, Ye Lei, I think you should give up." ”

"Fauber, don't say it so early!" Ye Lei looked at Fauber at this time, what Fauber said was very correct, but Ye Lei, who is a winemaker, is even more aware of the truth, at this time, Ye Lei took out a pork leg, however, this pork leg looks like it has been some days.

"Ye Lei, this thing is already like this, you still have it?" Yin Qianbei looked at the pork leg in Ye Lei's hand, and said with disgust, "This thing is all broken, you look at it and it's already moldy, I'll throw away this kind of thing for you, you guy is really sloppy." ”

"Brother, don't move, this is a top-notch delicacy!" Ye Lei looked at Yin Qianbei at this time and said, "What Fu Bo said is right, wine is to help the taste of food to a higher level, but the food to be paired with different wines is also different, as for this thing in my hand, it is what red wine should be paired with." ”

A small knife appeared in Ye Lei's hand at this time, this knife was very sharp, and soon, the pork leg in Ye Lei's hand had disappeared, and was replaced by a small plate of red meat slices, when they saw these meat slices, Yin Qianbei and Fu Bo also looked at each other, they didn't know what Ye Lei was doing at all.

"Fauber, please eat it with these hams. Ye Lei looked at Fauber at this time and said, this red wine should be paired with, it is this raw ham, you try it, this ham is more than three years old, it can be eaten raw, and the feeling will definitely make you have another feeling.

With the idea of trying it, Yin Qianbei and Fu Bo each picked up a piece of ham meat, and when they put it in their mouths, the stimulating feeling made them have an indescribable feeling, and at this time, they picked up the wine glasses in their hands, and when the red wine and ham meat touched each other, they realized what a wonderful taste it was.

"What you said is not wrong, it seems that we did not understand it correctly. Fauber looked at Ye Lei at this time and said, "This is indeed the first time I have tasted this taste, this taste is amazing, but I also wonder, where did you learn this technique? Moreover, the material used to make this wine is grapes, which is really bold." ”

"Brother, with this wine of yours, I will definitely win the winemaking competition!" Yin Qianbei looked at Ye Lei at this time and said very confidently, but Fu Bo didn't think so, after all, Ye Lei had to face several other brewing masters, and those people were truly terrifying existences.

"For you martial artists, what you cultivate is the realm, and for us, winemaking is the only pursuit of our life, and in the process of winemaking, our strength realm is also improving little by little, it can be said that in this village, the most powerful people are the favorites to win the championship. ”

"How will you know if you don't try it?" Ye Lei looked at Fu Bo at this time, in fact, he still has a lot of recipes for winemaking, but he just took out the most basic red wine first, and there are actually many similarities between the art of winemaking and the way of alchemy, and it was precisely because of the way of alchemy that Ye Lei had a certain introduction to the art of winemaking.

Nowadays, Ye Lei's alchemy skills are no worse than some saint-rank martial artists, and at the same time of brewing wine, Ye Lei will also inspire a lot of creativity, and this is also the source of the secret recipe of the ten fine wines of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion on the Kyushu Continent, no one knows, these are all provided to them by Ye Lei.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely make it to the finals by then!" Ye Lei looked at Fauber with confidence at this time and said, "However, during this time, I have to find some ingredients, with the recipe I know now, it is not enough to make a superb wine, I need to find some suitable materials for winemaking." ”

"Of course, this kind of thing will be up to me to accompany you!" Yin Qianbei looked at Ye Lei at this time and said, "Although my body has been cursed, some talents that are exclusive to the wine venerable body have not disappeared, and the most important point is that I can find all the materials suitable for winemaking!"

"To be honest, this ability of yours really shouldn't be in humans. Ye Lei looked at Yin Qianbei at this time, and said helplessly, "This kind of ability is simply a very good ability to appear in a martial artist, but for the villagers of Baihua Village, this may also be a good ability." ”

"Do you think I can only find the materials for brewing?" Yin Qianbei looked at Ye Lei at this time and said, "How do you think the materials in the rings I gave you came from? You should also be able to see that there are not only materials suitable for brewing, but also many things suitable for alchemy." ”

"Wait a minute, could it be ......" A bold idea appeared in Ye Lei's mind, if it was really what Ye Lei thought, then Yin Qianbei's existence was definitely at the level of defying the sky, but was there really such a person in this world? Ye Lei still couldn't believe it.

"Whether it's alchemy or winemaking, everything is the same. Fu Bo looked at Ye Lei at this time and said, "Back then, our ancestors also accidentally discovered such a thing as wine on the way to alchemy, and since then, wine has spread to the entire continent little by little, and our Xinghua Village has become the source of all fine wines. ”

In the next month, with the help of Yin Qianbei, Ye Lei did find a lot of materials suitable for winemaking, and even found two herbs that could refine pills, which was also an unexpected harvest for Ye Lei, a month passed quickly, and the harvest of these two people was also quite rich.

"I said Brother Ye Lei, tomorrow is the brewing competition, do you have any confidence? Yin Qianbei looked at Ye Lei at this time and said, "Although the wine you brewed tastes very good, I am still a little worried, after all, the strength of those old guys is not bad." ”

"Don't worry, according to the rules of the conference, we'll only meet them in the final. Ye Lei looked at Yin Qianbei at this time and said, "Moreover, it may not be clear who will lose or win at that time, brother, you can rest assured and boldly watch my performance, you can rest assured, I will definitely bring back that dream for a thousand years!"

"Brother, if you really get that dream millennium, even if you let me be a cow and a horse, I am willing!" Yin Qianbei looked at Ye Lei at this time and said, "However, the difficulty of this kind of thing is too great, and it is not so easy to deal with those old things." ”

"How do you know if you haven't tried it!" Ye Lei said confidently at this time, "What if I accidentally brew that dream of a thousand years?" Although the probability is very small, it is not impossible, with so many of our ingredients, we will definitely be able to make a special wine." ”

Feng Wu and Zi Ye have been cultivating alone for a long time recently, and they have never seen Ye Lei be interested in things other than cultivation, however, this can be regarded as a kind of transformation of Ye Lei, after all, always immersed in cultivation also has a great impact on a person's character.

However, during this period of time, the most comfortable thing is Zi Ye, in addition to cultivation, he is often dragged by Ye Lei and the others to taste the newly brewed wine, which can be said to be a new enjoyment for Zi Ye, especially the dragon clan itself is still a family that likes to drink, so naturally they will not miss this opportunity.

The next day, the brewing competition officially began, Ye Lei was also very surprised when he saw these people participating in the competition, in addition to the villagers of Xinghua Village, there were many warriors from other places, and among them, he even saw the warriors he had seen in the capital city, he didn't expect that this place would attract this person.

"Captain Ye Lei!" At this time, this person also recognized Ye Lei, and he also had a very surprised expression, "I didn't expect us to meet here, but are you also going to participate in this brewing competition this time?" Captain Ye Lei, I won't release water to you, even if we know each other, it's impossible!"

Ye Lei just smiled politely, because they had to prepare their own tools, so the two of them separated after a few simple words, but when Ye Lei took out the set of wine-making tools, it attracted the attention of almost all the people around him, because in comparison, his set of tools turned out to be the best.

"That should be Yin Qianbei's kid's thing. At this time, in the spectator seat, the two old men were talking, "I didn't expect that this kid Yin Qianbei is still back, and the demand for fine wine is indeed very large, not to mention that this is a dream for a thousand years, it seems that this time the game is going to become interesting." ”

"Even if he is a wine venerable, but he can't make any good wine, it's not like you haven't tried it, this guy's wine is all very bitter, this kind of wine can't be drunk at all, even if he finds any helpers, in my opinion, they can't brew anything good. ”

"You see, there's something strange about this kid. At this time, a judge noticed Ye Lei's direction, "Everyone else is using food or something, but this kid has taken out a bunch of fruits, I really can't think of any ideas this kid has, but can fruits really make wine?"

"Let's all see!" Ye Lei was very confident at this time, according to the ancient method, he put all the fruits in the wine jar, and under the condition of the acceleration of the formation, the blood-red wine flowed out directly, and Ye Lei quickly put it in the bottle and sealed it.

"Using the acceleration formation to promote the fermentation and maturation of alcohol, this kid actually has some understanding in the way of the formation. At this time, all the judges looked at Ye Lei in surprise, but they also didn't understand, because Ye Lei accelerated himself at the same time, and also applied the time acceleration formation to the people around him at the same time.

"Alright, take out the bar you brewed. At this time, everyone took out their own wine, but everyone else put it in the bowl, only Ye Lei put it in a whole bottle, no one knew why Ye Lei did this, but the judges didn't speak, so they didn't have much to say.

"Well, this wine is rich and mellow, with sorghum notes, which is good. At this time, the judges tasted the rest of the wines separately, and the reviews of these wines were also mixed, until the end, they set their sights on the red wine made by Ye Lei.

"Your name is Ye Lei, aren't you? At this time, the three judges looked at Ye Lei and said, "Everyone else puts the wine in the bowl, why do you seal the wine in the bottle, is it possible, your wine is not finished? Or is there any special way to drink this kind of wine of yours?"

"Yes, you also need to wait for the right time to drink. Ye Lei looked at the three people at this time and said, "Under the acceleration of the world, this wine of mine has been completely completed, but before drinking, it needs to be decanted for a period of time, and I will do it in order to let the three of them drink the most perfect taste." ”

"Oh, let's try it quickly!" The three judges were also very curious at this time, it was the first time they had seen this strange wine, and after Ye Lei took out the cork, a rich aroma mixed with fruit filled the air, and after smelling this wine, almost everyone was a little intoxicated.

"Please also ask the three of you to taste the wine that has not been sobered up. Ye Lei picked up the wine bottle at this time, poured a glass of wine for the three people, and the three of them brought the wine to their mouths, and in an instant, a sour feeling made them frown, and after Ye Lei saw the reactions of these three people, he also determined their level.

"It seems that the level of these three people is not as good as that of Fauber. Ye Lei thought that when Fauber drank this wine for the first time, he immediately tasted the delicious taste after sourness, but these people did not have this performance, but they would not have thought that there would be contestants to test the level of the judges.

"Ye Lei, what is this thing you gave us to drink?" At this time, the three judges were already a little angry, this kind of thing could not be called wine to them at all, but Ye Lei was not in a hurry, but poured them three glasses of wine again, and motioned for the three people to drink this glass of wine now.

After the three of them glanced at each other, they didn't suspect anything, and drank the wine again, but this time, the expressions of the three people completely changed, they had never drunk such a magical wine, and the sweetness of the wine made them like this wine a little bit.

"Ye Lei, what's going on? Why does the same wine have such a different flavor when drunk?" At this time, one of the judges looked at Ye Lei and asked, "Moreover, what kind of fruit is the rich fruity aroma contained in this, and can the fruit really be used to make wine?"

"It seems that there is no suspense in the first game. Yin Qianbei looked at Ye Lei at this time, in fact, he was not surprised at all by this result, after all, Ye Lei's wine was even praised by Fu Bo before, and at this moment, Ye Lei took out the ham that he had not eaten last time, and cut a few slices of meat and put it in front of the judges.

"After waking up, the red wine is eaten with these hams, and you will taste the real flavor!" Ye Lei looked at these three people at this time, Ye Lei already had some preliminary understanding of the strength of these three people, these people were not even as good as Yin Qianbei, let alone Fu Bo.

"Mellow, rich, with this kind of salted meat, I thought it would be very salty, but I didn't feel like this, this feeling is really a wonderful thing, Ye Lei, right, you have passed the first level of the trial, but can you give us this wine? We want to taste it carefully." ”

"It's nature. "Ye Lei naturally won't be so stingy because of a bottle of wine, and this is not Ye Lei's real level, in fact, when making wine, Ye Lei has already made a mistake, however, the impact on the wine can be said to be minimal, basically few people can find out.

"Captain Ye Lei, it looks like I'm going to go first this time. At this time, the person in the capital city before looked at Ye Lei and said, "I didn't expect you to have this kind of strength, captain, I am really willing to bow down, I hope you can win the final championship, and then bring a dream of a thousand years back to the capital city!"

"I'll do my best. Ye Lei was also a little helpless at this time, this person who had praised Haikou before was eliminated in the first game, and Ye Lei had nothing to do, but when this person was leaving, he stuffed a piece of paper in Ye Lei's hand, and when Ye Lei was very surprised, this person also left.

"The next competition is set in three days, and after three days, you will bring out the good wine you have brewed for us to taste, and this time, you can also show the most proud work of you, because this time, we are going to see your ceiling, all right, we will see you in three days. ”

"Ye Lei, what's wrong with you?" After the competition, Ye Lei was also a little stunned, and took out the most proud work he had ever been, but this kind of thing made Ye Lei a little difficult, the longer the wine goes, the more mellow it becomes, but the wine he brews is gone, and the rest is only a few days.

"By the way, didn't that person give you something just now?" At this time, Feng Wu looked at Ye Lei and said, "I think you might as well take a look at what is written on that thing first, what if it is useful to you?"
