Chapter 114: Birthday Storm (Part II)

No regrets, no abandonment of life and death, these are all illusory illusions of the past! People are subject to change, the sun and the moon are reincarnated, and marriages are circulating, who can let fate play tricks and remain unchanged? The sky is high and the sea is vast, and the horses are at the end of the world! I am a person who is accustomed to living a wandering life, and no matter where I go, I can take root and make my home!

got on the boat, Murong Xue quietly asked her, "Aren't you talking to Zhou Yi yet?"

Yu Xi pouted, and rowed the boat vigorously without looking back, and sailed the boat into the depths of the lotus.

It wasn't until I couldn't see anyone on the shore that I stopped slowly.

When she went out, she was still in high spirits and couldn't help herself, but she didn't expect to meet an enemy here, so she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and she really didn't vomit or be unhappy.

"I don't want to see him again in my life, if you hadn't said that Mrs.'s birthday was coming that day, I wouldn't have stayed if I died!" The corners of her eyebrows were red, her eyebrows were full of anger, and she looked distressed that she wanted to get along with Zhou Yi's old age.

Murong Xue smiled and said, "There are some things that he has indeed done excessively, and if you ignore him, he deserves it." However, you and Brother Sima always have a feeling that watching the two of you make an awkward scene, and even come to this point, we are very reluctant in our hearts, and feel sorry for you......"

"What is there to regret! I am not a person with him in the first place, and Baihe Mountain is not a place where I should stay, and when my wife's birthday is over, I will never step into the lintel of his Zhou family again!"

"Yu Xi!" Murong Xue shouted in a deep tone, "What a beautiful vision you have hidden in your heart, I know it, you are willing to let yourself ......"

"No regrets, no abandonment in life and death, this is all an illusory illusion of the past! People are all subject to change, the sun and the moon are reincarnated, and marriage is circulating, who can let fate play tricks and remain unchanged? The sky is high and the sea is wide, and the end of the world is a horse...... I am a person who is used to living a wandering life, and wherever I go, I can put down roots and make my home...... Sister doesn't have to worry about me. ”

Speaking of this, her expression was indifferent, and her face was not sad, as if she had seen through the feelings between the most hypocritical and untested young couple in this world. It coincides with the frost hitting the hibiscus, the rain falling on the new lotus, the recovery of early spring and the withering of late winter, which is particularly sad! Yu Xi carries the Nine Dragons jade flute on his body at any time, and at this scene, it is shocking and sad. A long flute, a pair of jade hands, two eyes complaining, and the voice is faint, endless.

Murong Xuewu stood at the stern of the boat, savoring the charm of her flute, and was silent.

It wasn't until the afternoon, when the light rain was pouring down, that the two of them picked some scorched lotus seeds and lotus flowers in full bloom.

Out of the lotus bush, the lotus flowers and lotus seeds in the bamboo basket were covered with rain, heavy, and very oppressive to the shoulders.

Yu Xi was irritable, and as soon as she landed on the shore, she was arguing that the bamboo basket was too heavy, but Murong Xue's body was thin and her strength was far inferior to hers.

At that time, the two of them did not bring umbrellas, and their bodies were wet with rain, and at this time, the cold air came up, and Yu Xi sneezed twice in succession.

Murong Xue said: "You still don't feel sorry for me first, the mountain road is slippery, be careful of falling." ”

Yu Xi complained: "I already knew, let Brother Sima come over to help us, even I can't see you doing these manual work, if he is here, I can also get clean." ”

As he was talking, he saw a person walking in the drizzle, holding a few large lotus leaves in his hands, and it seemed to be Zhou Yi.

Before she could speak, Zhou Yi had already walked to her side, put two lotus leaves on their heads, and then reached out to pick up the bamboo basket on her back.

Of course, Yu Xi didn't appreciate it, grabbed the bamboo basket tightly with his hands, dodged back, and after leaving him, he went straight to the mountain.

Murong Xue hurriedly gave him a look, and Zhou Yi was also clever, first took her bamboo basket, put the lotus leaf on her head, and then followed Yu Xi over.

After not going far, the mountain path slowly became steeper, and the moss on the stone steps was wet and slippery with the rain. Yu Xi was carrying a heavy bamboo basket, and it was inconvenient to walk lightly under his feet, so Zhou Yi took the opportunity to come over and talk.

But before she got to her, I saw her whistle in the air, and in an instant a black shadow roared from the west, and in a blink of an eye it was not far behind her.

Zhou Yi hurriedly coughed a few times and shook his head at Nian Sheng.

That Niansheng is quite human, and he likes Zhou Yu and the two of them to stay together, seeing Zhou Yi so looked, and Yu Xi showed anger on his face, although it doesn't know the reason, but the meaning of this adult beauty is still understood.

So, it turned its face away, deliberately pretending not to see that Yu Xi was calling it, stuck out its tongue slightly, turned around and walked to Murong Xue's side, rolled up its tail and put her on its back, and walked away.

At the moment, there are only two of them.

Yu Xi was so angry that he gasped, pointed to the direction where Nian Sheng was far away and shouted a few times, looked back at Zhou Yi, both angry and helpless, so he simply put the bamboo basket on his shoulder on the ground and went up the mountain angrily.

The corners of Zhou Yi's mouth raised slightly, but he was slightly relieved in his heart, and followed up the mountain with two bamboo baskets on his back.

As soon as he arrived at Murong Xue's residence, he saw that the main door of the room was wide open, and Zhou Yi walked over with a smile on his face. As soon as he was about to enter the door, he saw Yu Xi coming from inside, closing the door with both hands, and then closing the latch again, forcibly blocking him out of the door.

Zhou Yi ate a closed door, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, so he put the bamboo basket in front of the door, turned around and walked out. 12

As soon as he turned around, he saw Sima Chun entering the garden, he couldn't avoid it, so he had to be stunned there. Sima Chun smiled and said: "I have seen it all, this is nothing, which man has not been driven out by a woman?"

Zhou Yi grimaced and said listlessly: "You still don't want to make fun of me, since it's not welcome here, I'll just leave." ”

"Hey, wait, I'll call the door, she still gives this face. As he spoke, he knocked on the door with a hand behind his back.

Yu Xi said angrily: "If you think that this is Baihe Mountain, there is no place you can't go, then okay, I'll leave now! Otherwise, please don't come again!"

"It's me," Sima Chun frowned and knocked on the door a few more times, "I'm Sima Chun." ”

"Hmph, like gathers like, in the future, you can't come to Sister Murong's place!" Before the words fell, the windows on the left and right sides were also closed.

Zhou Yi couldn't help it, laughed out loud, and said to Sima Chun: "My own brother, why don't you go in?"

Sima Chun's face was slightly red, scratching his head, extremely embarrassed, "Woman, trouble! Let's go, let's find a place to drink!"

"If you say that, I really won't let you in the door in the future!"

The two looked back and saw that the door behind them had been opened, and Murong Xue was standing in the center of the door, her face was half disgusted, obviously disturbed by Sima Chun's words just now.

Sima Chun immediately laughed, followed suit, and whispered to Zhou Yi: "Let's drink the wine another day." ”

Zhou Yi shook his head and went out alone. Just walked not far away, and saw Yun'er and Xing'er leading the other girls over. Zhou Yi blushed, for fear of being asked by her, so he straightened his back and walked out in a dignified manner.

"Is my brother leaving? Unfortunately, we came. Yun'er asked with a smile.

Zhou Yi paused and said, "Hongyuan came to me just now and said that my father had something to ask me to discuss, so I will go first." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xing'er said with a confused face: "I just came out, Hongyuan is still fighting with a few children, when has Childe seen him?"

Zhou Yi was stunned, embarrassed and red-faced. Seeing this, Xing'er knew that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly added a sentence, "This Hongyuan is really playful!" I just played it as soon as I went back, and I didn't even have time to go to the master to recover my life, it seems that you have to rectify him after you go back." ”

Zhou Yi didn't answer, and left with a green face.

Yun'er and the others entered the door, and Murong Xue and Yu Xi came out to greet them. Yun'er said: "I heard that my sister is making wine, we haven't seen each other, so I came to learn and ask for advice, please don't bother us." ”

Murong Xue said: "Where is this, I don't rely on this for a living, and I'm afraid that you won't be able to learn it?" Besides, these are Sister Yu's crafts, I just rubbed a name, everyone knows that I can't get any decent gifts for Madame's birthday, so I can only borrow flowers to offer Buddha." ”

Yun'er smiled: "Some borrowing is still good, I have no way at all, so come and have a look." ”

Yu Xi immediately went out, picked up the bamboo basket and walked to the prepared small workshop on the side, turned around and asked Yun'er with a smile: "I was going to wait for the truth of Mrs. Lady's birthday to come out, it seems that this is not a secret." Hey, how do you know?"

Yun'er walked over, looked at her choosing those lotus seeds and lotus flowers, and said lightly: "Listen to what Zhong Yu said, she inquired about everyone two days ago, and I had no choice, so I asked her casually, and then I knew." ”

When Yu Xi heard this, the work in his hand immediately stopped, and after a while, he was busy with his own work as if nothing had happened.

Everyone was curious, so they asked Yu Xi to explain the process of brewing.

Yu Xi said: "Qinghe wine should be fermented with koji, which is changeable, so the whole process must be clean." As he spoke, he kept checking the lotus seeds with both hands, and in the end, fortunately, all of them were put into the bamboo basket.

"Soak the prepared glutinous rice in water for three hours, then spread it in a steamer basket full of lotus petals, remember, be sure to mix the lotus seeds in the rice, preferably cover it with another layer of petals, and then pour a large scoop of water. Steam over high heat for half an hour, dissolve the koji with water at the same time, and wait for the steamer to come out of the pot, be sure to mix the glutinous rice until fluffy, this is called stall rice. Then, the prepared koji is sprinkled into the cooled glutinous rice petals, and after mixing well, it can be loaded into the jar and put into the kiln. ”

"Into the kiln?" Yun'er asked puzzled.

"This is a very important step, the koji is mixed into the soft glutinous rice and fermented in a sealed environment for more than 20 days, so at this time the sake jar is put into a dead fire and burned for half an hour. ”

"After more than 20 days, will you be able to drink it?"

Yu Xi shook his head and said, "By that time, the process was only halfway through. After that, there are complicated processes such as filtration, scorching, sealing, and removing the fishy smell before it can be drunk. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but sigh, although this wine is not expensive, it shows its sincerity. It seems that Yu Xi still thinks a lot about Yufu's birthday.

However, I don't know where this kindness will flow in this undercurrent, and I don't know where the fate of Zhou Yu and the others will go......

(Sleepy as always, canvassing as always...... Good night, folks!)
