"Mr. Li finally sent you out to do something?"
After Fang Yuan left, Mei Ruohan stood up and leaned over, wanting to see what was written on the note. Luo Yichen immediately put the note away without saying a word, and said with a serious face: "Mr. Li said it should be kept secret, so please don't peek. Without further ado, I'll leave immediately."
"So that's it." After hearing this, Mei Ruohan looked back and nodded obediently: "Then go ahead and be careful on the road."
Luo Yichen hummed and left, but he was slightly annoyed in his heart. The woman definitely did it on purpose. Fortunately, he reacted very quickly, otherwise he didn't know what Ruohan would think of him.
Su Li naturally didn't know that she had no intention of giving the order and was misunderstood by Luo Yichen. She was still in the attic at the moment, holding the "Proud Sword Jue" she got from Jin Chengao and studying it carefully.
This sword art was regarded as a peerless sword manual by people in the martial arts world in her previous life. She naturally wanted to practice it, but she did not practice it step by step from right to left like Jin Chengao, but from left to right, starting from the last level.
In her previous life, she had heard countless rumors about "Proud Sword Art", the secrets of which had long been understood by people in the martial arts world. If we use an analogy, this sword art book is equivalent to a circle, with no general outline and no indication of the order of realms. of words.
It seems that it doesn't matter if you start from left to right, right to left, or from the middle.
In the previous life, this sword art fell from the hands of Jin Chengao to the beggar, and the beggar practiced it in a daze. By accident, he chose the completely opposite practice method to that of Jin Chengao. The various magical powers of "Proud Sword Jue" are brought into play, achieving the reputation of "Sword Lord" in future generations!
In contrast, Jin Chengao was too unlucky. His wrong cultivation method led to defects in his state of mind. The deeper he practiced, the defects would be infinitely magnified, and he would eventually lose his humanity completely and perish in madness.
And she, Su Li, only slightly brought forward Jin Chengao's death, and intercepted the opportunity of the "Sword Lord" in his previous life, leaving the little beggar's fate unknown.
"Sister Li, are you there?"
While Su Li was reminiscing, Fang Ling's clear voice suddenly came from outside the door, "The rice wine brewed in the underground wine cellar can no longer be filled. What should I do with it?"
Squeak—
As soon as Fang Ling finished speaking, she saw Su Li dressed as "Mr. Li" walking out of the house, "Call Xue Tong and Hei Dan, and come with me to the underground wine cellar."
Fang Ling's big eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately turned around and went downstairs to gather people.
Mei Ruohan heard the commotion and poked her head out from behind the cabinet. She saw that Su Li and his party had gone somewhere, and she couldn't help but feel curious. However, she didn't dare to follow them without Mr. Li's permission.
Opening the secret door of the underground secret room and entering the underground wine cellar, Su Li immediately noticed the strong aroma of wine. She saw that the wine cellar with a radius of 60 square meters was filled with shelves, and jars of wine were neatly placed on the shelves. , filled to the brim.
"And one more thing."
Fang Ling counted on her fingers and said with a worried face: "There are not many dried osmanthus in the warehouse. We can last for a few months at most. If the new wine doesn't come out, we will have nothing to sell next month."
Su Li nodded slightly and said warmly: "Today is the seventh day of March, and there are still more than four months before the sweet-scented osmanthus blooms. Last year we were short of manpower, so it was normal for there not to be enough sweet-scented osmanthus. This year we have enough manpower, so remember to go to the sweet-scented osmanthus forest to collect enough sweet-scented osmanthus. .Now, let me teach you how to brew new wine using copper vessels!”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. It has been almost a month since they released the news about the "strong wine", but they have not been able to come out with it, which has caused criticism for the recent dripping.
Some people even say that osmanthus fermented wine is a flower wine that only sissy softies would drink!
Yin Xuetong was very angry. She knew that other wine shops were jealous and had leaked the news. However, Su Li had been busy with too many things recently, which caused the release of new wine to be postponed. She could only watch helplessly as many wine customers in Linliju were lost. , was pulled over by other wineries.
While her thoughts were surging, Yin Xuetong had already followed Su Li to the huge copper vessel that was as tall as a person. She was usually busy with the shopkeeper's affairs and had never taken a closer look. Only today was she able to take a closer look.
It can be seen that this vessel is composed of upper and lower parts. The upper bottom has a grate, and there is a groove near the grate. A drainage pipe is cast in the groove, which is connected to another large wine jar.
"Boss, how do you use this thing?" Heidan was confused.
Not only him, but also Yin Xuetong and Fang Ling were exposed to this strange vessel for the first time, and they had no idea how Su Li was going to use it to make wine.
Su Li smiled slightly and waved to Heidan, "Bring a few jars of wine and pour them all into the vessels. Yin Xu, come over and light a fire to heat the vessels. The fire must be strong and don't stop."
The temperature in the room quickly rose, but it did not exceed the tolerance limit. Yin Xu wiped away the hot sweat, turned around and saw a dense group of vents on the wall, and was even more impressed when he suddenly realized it.
"Sir, your wisdom is truly unfathomable. I'm afraid that when you designed this building, you thought of this ventilation problem. Otherwise, the temperature in this room would be more than a little bit higher."
Wow…
Without letting Yin Xuetong and Fang Ling do anything, Heidan led others to pour jar after jar of turbid rice wine into the vessels, and soon there were a bunch of empty jars in the corner of the room.
When the vessel was 80% full, Su Li asked Hei Dan to stop and put a special lid on the vessel.
"What to do next?"
Hei Danke still remembers that the process of making sweet-scented osmanthus wine is very lengthy. Since this is Linliju’s new wine, there should be more complicated steps.
Hearing this, Su Li shook her head and chuckled, "Then we'll just wait."
Heidan was stunned for a moment, couldn't help scratching his head, and stood watching Yin Xu lighting the fire without saying anything.
Not long after, Fang Ling, who had been staring at the drainage tube, suddenly shouted, "Look, look, there's alcohol!"
Everyone turned their attention when they heard the sound, and sure enough they saw a clear liquid flowing out of the drainage tube, which was completely different from the turbid rice wine that was poured in before.
"Is this wine?"
"It doesn't look like it. It couldn't be water, right?"
Everyone whispered in confusion. Su Li walked to the big wine jar, filled a glass with a wine glass, and placed it on the table aside. Yin Xuetong and others immediately gathered around.
"It turns out it's white wine with amber color in it. It's so beautiful."
Yin Xuetong's eyes were bright, and she couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and bring it closer to take a whiff. Suddenly, a strong aroma of wine hit her nostrils.
"It smells so good. It's different from sweet-scented osmanthus wine. It smells like pure wine!"
At this time, Su Li took two more glasses of wine and put them on the table. He looked at Heidan and the others who were suppressing the alcohol bug with a half-smile, "Drink? As long as you don't get drunk after drinking this glass, I won't I’ll deduct your wages.”
"Boss, are you serious?"
Heidan asked with a happy face. He had a good drinking capacity, but he couldn't get drunk immediately after just one glass of wine.
However, Yin Xuetong was wary and put down the wine glass gently. She had been tricked out of experience. Whenever Su Li showed such an expression, she must not be too confident in her abilities.
"When have I ever regretted what I said?" Su Li glanced at Heidan and the others, "You can drink if you want. After today, things won't be so good."
"Thank you boss for the reward!"
Heidan didn't doubt that he was there, and immediately picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Then Yin Xuetong and Fang Ling saw his face turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Cough cough cough... so spicy!"
Black Dan scratched his throat and coughed violently.
It was as if what he had just drank was dynamite!
When the glass of wine fell into his stomach, he immediately burst out with unimaginable power. It was like a red-hot knife slashing directly into his heart, and like a ball of fire burning. It was painful to the bones but inexplicably... refreshing!
"So cool!"
Heidan's cheeks were hunched red, he burped with a silly smile on his face, and let out a drunken exclamation. Then he fell to the ground with a "plop" and fell unconscious. Fang Ling jumped back in fright and almost missed Yin Xu who crawled out from behind the stove.
Yin Xuetong stepped aside and looked at Heitan lying flat on the ground, snoring slightly. A true smile appeared on his face: "I really can't hold up one cup..."
The remaining people immediately put down their wine glasses upon seeing this, not daring to drink. However, looking at Heidan's happy face, they were curious about what the wine tasted like.
Su Li gently kicked the black egg sleeping on the ground, shook his head and said with a smile: "This is the fate of those who like to take advantage. You must remember it. Xuetong, make a note to him later, and all your wages for this month will be deducted."
Yin Xuetong couldn't help but stick out her tongue when she heard the words, and silently wrote it down. She could already imagine Hei Dan waking up and wanting to cry without tears.
At this time, Su Li had filled a whole pot of wine, shook it and said with a smile: "The name of the wine is Fiery Fire! It is divided into three grades like Osmanthus Niang. The puree will not be sold to outsiders, otherwise ordinary people will drink it to death and let Linli live there." Get into trouble. The first-grade fire wine is diluted by 15%. As for the next two grades and the pricing, it’s up to you, Xue Tong.”
Yin Xuetong immediately took out her notebook and jotted it down, for fear of missing something. The worries about the new wine that she had felt just now had long since disappeared.
Fire wine is as strong as its name suggests. Even Heidan got drunk after just one glass. Didn't those mediocre wine shops who like to gossip say that Liliju's wine is a sissy? She would like to take a look tomorrow , who is the sissy!
Not long after, Heidan was carried to rest, while Yin Xu returned to the stove and continued to light the fire. Since new wine was going to be produced tomorrow, it was natural to make more wine. Yin Xuetong scratched on the paper and thought about the price of the new wine. Seeing Su Li put on the veil again and was about to leave the wine cellar, she suddenly remembered something and quickly called Su Li and said: "Wait, Su Li, I have one more It’s unclear.”
Um
Su Li turned around and saw Yin Xuetong taking her hand, walking to another uninhabited room, and asked: "Su Li, how should Mei Ruohan deal with it? Since you don't want to show up with your true face In front of her, even if she doesn’t believe her, many secrets in the winery can’t be revealed, so what’s the use of continuing to cultivate her?”
Su Li narrowed her eyes slightly, "It's not that I don't believe her, but she is... different from us."
"It's different? What's different?"
Yin Xuetong asked subconsciously, and then she suddenly thought of something, her eyes dimmed slightly, and she fell silent.
Su Li smiled lowly, with a meaning that Yin Xuetong couldn't understand in her voice, "When she grows up, I will give her a chance to choose. She has too little experience. If she is allowed to choose now, it will be too much." early… "
Yin Xuetong was stunned, watching Su Li turn around and leave while carrying the wine bottle, and she didn't know what to think for a moment.
She didn't understand why Su Li, who also came from a simple and clean background, had many magical medical and poisonous methods. Sometimes, his eyes would faintly reveal a sadness that was a hundred times more complex than that of these desperate people...
