Female Cultivators of Our Generation Should be Self-Reliant

Chapter 289: Wine tasting

Views:

With this thought in mind, Xu Chunniang quickly found the winery she had visited last time.

In addition to a shopkeeper in the Foundation Establishment Stage, there were also two Qi Condensation Stage disciples, and the waiter from last time was among them.

As soon as she stepped into the winery, the waiter recognized Xu Chunniang at a glance and came up to her with a smile.

"Master Xu is here. More than a month has passed. Has he brewed any good wine?"

Xu Chunniang coughed lightly and said, "It's not a good wine. I need you to help me taste it."

The guy smiled heartily and patted his chest to make a promise.

"Although my cultivation is average, I do have some knowledge of various spirit wines. The spirit wines that I have identified will not have trouble selling."

Hearing him say this, Xu Chunniang felt more confident. She followed him into the inner room, took out ten numbered wine gourds, and placed them in a row on the table.

Looking at so many wine gourds, the waiter's eyes flashed with surprise, and then turned into admiration.

"As expected of Uncle Xu, he was able to brew ten kinds of fine wine in less than two months. Looks like I'm going to have a feast today, haha."

Upon hearing this, Xu Chunniang felt a little embarrassed and even had the urge to put away all the wine gourds.

However, the waiter had already raised his hand and took the wine gourd numbered one.

He gently opened the lid, and immediately a strong smell of alcohol wafted out.

“Smells so good!”

The waiter's eyes lit up. After smelling it for a while, he took a wine bottle and poured it into a full glass, savoring it carefully.

The more he savored the wine, the brighter his eyes became. Finally, he raised the bottle and drank the remaining wine in it.

Not long after he finished drinking the glass of wine, his face turned red and he looked at Xu Chunniang with admiration and shock.

"If I hadn't personally handed you the winemaking tools more than a month ago, you wouldn't have believed that this wine was made by a newcomer! Not only is the wine good, but it's also full of spiritual energy."

Xu Chunniang smiled modestly, but she was a little confused in her heart.

She had tasted this wine before. Although it had a strong aroma, it was extremely spicy and difficult to swallow. Could this be called good

She looked at the remaining nine gourds, and inexplicably gained a lot of confidence from the praises.

Although the guy only has Qigong training, he is obviously very professional when it comes to wine.

After tasting Wine No. 1, he rinsed his mouth with water and rinsed the wine bottle three times.

After the smell completely dissipated, he took the No. 2 wine gourd with great anticipation and poured a glass carefully.

Bringing the wine bottle to his lips, he first sniffed it, then took a sip.

“This wine is still drinkable, but its aroma and taste are far inferior to No. 1.”

Even so, the waiter was reluctant to pour out the wine in the jar and drank it all up.

After all, Uncle Master Xu is a foundation-building cultivator, and the materials used to make wine are not bad. He can feel the extraordinary spiritual energy within them.

Even if the taste is average, it should not be wasted.

Seeing this scene, Xu Chunniang felt relieved and more confident in her winemaking skills.

The waiter took gourd number three, but as soon as he poured out the spiritual wine inside, a strong sour smell came out.

He was slightly stunned, but didn't say much. It was common for the spirit wine to turn sour if too much yeast was added.

He took a sip and his brows immediately frowned. It tasted more sour than he had imagined.

However, feeling Uncle Xu's expectant gaze on him, the waiter forced himself to drink the glass of wine.

So what if it's a little sour? The spiritual energy inside is real.

“Although it’s a bit sour and astringent, it’s still edible.”

After saying that, he paused for a moment, then opened gourd number four with anticipation. However, after taking a sip, he could only force himself not to spit it out, and it was very difficult for him to do so.

"Maybe Master Xu made a mistake. I'll try again."

Then he reached out to number five, number six...

At first the waiter could still drink it, but as he tasted more spirit wine, his face became bitter and the amount of spirit wine he sipped gradually became less.

When it came to numbers 8 and 9, his face changed color just by looking at their colors and smelling their flavors, and he broke out in cold sweats and didn't dare to eat anything.

Seeing her friend like this, Xu Chunniang felt a little bit sorry for him and gradually realized her true level.

"This is my first time making wine, so there are bound to be some mistakes. Don't force it."

The waiter breathed a sigh of relief and poured out the wine in the bottle, but insisted, "I promised to help Master Xu taste the wine, so I can't give up halfway."

After saying this, he gritted his teeth, took the last wine gourd, and poured out the wine.

The spirit wine is light off-white in color and slightly turbid, but it has a light aroma of rice and wine, which is mixed just right.

The waiter let out a light "huh" and put the wine bottle between his mouth and nose, only to feel that the strange taste he had just tasted was completely dissipated.

Originally, he was determined to open this last wine gourd even if it meant getting poisoned by the wine, but now, just by smelling the aroma of this wine, he knew it would taste good.

The waiter held the wine bottle carefully, took a sip, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Compared to the spicy and strong aroma of Spirit Wine No. 1, Spirit Wine No. 10 has a different flavor, it is clear and sweet.

The guy drank the wine in the bottle, feeling the spiritual energy flowing through his body with the heat, and couldn't help but burp.

His face turned even redder, and he quickly apologized, "Uncle Xu, I'm sorry, I'm being rude!"

"No problem."

Xu Chunniang shook her head slightly, a smile in her eyes, "As long as you don't mind the low quality of these spirit wines, it's fine."

The guy smiled awkwardly, then straightened his expression.

"Let's not talk about anything else, but the No. 1 and No. 10 Spirit Wines not only taste wonderful, but they are also full of spiritual energy. They are really rare good wines."

"Are you serious?"

Xu Chunniang was a little surprised. She didn't know much about spirit wine. She only tasted spirit wine No. 10 and found it very satisfying, but she couldn't get used to spirit wine No. 1.

"Of course it's true. I've been in the winery for quite a few years, and I can always tell the good from the bad."

There was a hint of confidence on the guy's face. He had drunk a lot of spirit wine and could tell good from bad just by using his nose.

Xu Chunniang was certain in her heart, "You mentioned before that if I brew spirit wine, I can do some business with the wine shop. I wonder if this is still true?"

"Of course it counts, but it is not the turn of a small Qi training disciple like me to make the decision on such an important matter. Uncle Xu, please wait for a moment and let me report to the shopkeeper."

Not long after the waiter left, the shopkeeper who was in the foundation-building stage stepped into the inner room.

He glanced at the ten wine gourds neatly arranged on the table and smiled slightly.

"I heard that Junior Sister Xu has recently brewed some spirit wine and wants to do some business with our winery?"

Xu Chunniang followed his gaze to the table and waved her right hand, leaving only two wine gourds on the table.

She poured out two glasses of wine and placed them opposite, "Boss, why don't you try it."

The shopkeeper didn't say much. After sitting down and tasting the wine carefully, he nodded and said, "It is indeed a good wine. I didn't expect that Junior Sister Xu is not only good at cultivation, but also has a talent for brewing wine."

"But just give it a try."
