Shengtian, Taiqing Palace.
On the small square in front of the palace gate, a very novel opening ceremony is being held. Domestic entertainment media flocked here to interview a TV drama crew.
And in front of the camera, a very popular little fresh meat actor is giving a demonstration to reporters in a blue sermon robe:
"Just like this, stand in front of the kneeling mat, stand with your feet in a splayed position, bow your body, and hug your hands in front of your belly. Remember, your left hand should leave your right hand and cover your heart. Then bend down, like this, the first One prostration...repeated twice is the three rituals and three prostrations in Taoist etiquette."
Wow!
Seeing his smooth movements, the media felt very surprised, and they all asked: "Have you learned this stuff before?"
"Yes, I practiced for about two hours. In fact, not only this set of movements, but also some other etiquettes, all our actors have to learn."
"Can you tell me how you feel?"
"Well, although we are a fantasy drama, it is absolutely different from previous fantasy dramas. We strictly refer to traditional Taoist culture, go to some famous places to shoot scenes, and specially invite an old Taoist priest to guide. Therefore, the costumes, props, Allusions and other things are as close to reality as possible. When it is broadcast, everyone can watch it."
After answering a few questions, the start-up ceremony ended and the staff dispersed slowly. This crew has several exterior scenes in the Taiqing Palace, which will be filmed later.
The little fresh meat got rid of the fans and got into the nanny's car directly. Before he could sit still, the agent threw over a script: "I just received it, and it feels good. Your schedule is just in time to pick up."
Xiao Xianrou flipped through the pages, and said impatiently, "It's a fairy tale again? Did the investors take the wrong medicine?"
"Tsk, it's such a big hit! Now Xianxia dramas are better than anti-X dramas, one after another. There were family ethics dramas, but they were all killed. You make a quick decision, and let others snatch it when it's too late." gone."
"Okay, okay, I'll take it!"
Xiao Xianrou took the script with a displeased face and a strange feeling in his heart. He has filmed two similar works before, the plot is mentally retarded, the special effects are 50 cents, and the bloody Mary Su can't be concealed under various banners, and the persuasive way is even worse.
But it's different now, each of them is holding back their energy and leaning on the Xianxia drama to the main drama, the harshness is outrageous.
Purely sick!
Xiao Xianrou twitched his lips, what the hell, as long as the money is in place, it's OK.
In fact, he was not the only one who felt this way, the common people of Xia Kingdom more or less felt something was wrong.
When did it start? It seems that from this summer, oh no, it should be from the beginning of autumn... I can't tell the feeling, it's weird anyway.
As if overnight, all TV dramas have changed, traditional cultural education is being carried out all over the country, and Taoism appears more and more frequently in the news.
Those who love to read online articles find that the novels of comprehension are suddenly flooded, and all of them are quoted from the classics. Those who love to play games also found that the Xiuxian game is crazily dominating the screen, no longer making up random things, and the settings are serious.
What's more, even the job transfer task is very painful. To test real Taoist classics, you have to search for them yourself, and then type them in one by one.
In addition, when tourists go to the mountains to play, they also find that there are fewer and fewer fat monks, replaced by solemn and ethereal Taoist temples. And they are very polite, they don't drag you to fortune-telling to draw lots and read palms, go in and go around, unless you take the initiative to chat, otherwise people will ignore you.
For children in some areas, the teaching quality of interest classes is even worse than that of formal classes. Two cities have announced that they will replace the inter-class exercises of elementary and middle school students with an improved version of Tai Chi...
All of these, gathered together, eventually formed all kinds of things that were wrong.
Some people work as usual and work hard for their lives; some people are disgusted and hate it, and completely block the information; some, like Li Dong and others, have vaguely grasped a trace of the truth.
…
"Dongzi, did you read the news yesterday?"
"Looked at it."
"Ha, it's a bit blatant now, which crew used to hold the opening ceremony in the Taoist temple? How about it, do you believe it now?"
"Okay, don't be so frightened!"
Li Dong replied angrily, avoided his colleagues in the company, and hid at the corner of the stairs.
It is said that after he joined the chat group, his world view was quickly reshaped, he made many friends, and met two fellow Taoists from the same city.
Qianqiu's real name is Zhang Qianqiu, and the principal's name is Yan Han. Both of them come from a good family background, their parents are in business, and their careers are also very successful.
They are about the same age, and they get together from time to time, and the topic of conversation is naturally Taoism. Zhang Qianqiu and Yan Han are very determined, they want to visit famous mountains and rivers, seek immortals and apprentices. Li Dong was quite hesitant, and he still couldn't pass that threshold.
"Dongzi, have you considered it? It will be winter in a blink of an eye, Yan Han and I can't wait any longer!"
"You also know that my family's conditions are not good, and my parents don't have much income. I resigned. In case something happens, I, I..." Li Dong faltered and made excuses, but it was the truth.
"Don't worry, I discussed it with Yan Han. We each contribute 10,000 yuan a month, and we will give your parents a pension, and then send someone to take care of it. If you are sick or have a disaster, you will never delay."
"No, no, that's too embarrassing!" He quickly refused.
"What's so embarrassing? We have some ability, so naturally we have to help. The purpose of our group is to not let anyone fall behind. When the world changes in the future, we will also have a care for each other."
Zhang Qianqiu drove the car over there, and continued: "Dongzi, we are not abandoning our family and cutting off our ties, or just worshiping a master. If you think about it that way, you should take a long vacation for yourself and go on a trip. Can't you?"
have to!
When it came to this point, Li Dong couldn't refuse any more, and said, "Well, then, well, I'll go with you."
"Haha, I'm just waiting for your words! Get ready, we will set off the day after tomorrow, the first stop is Phoenix Mountain!"
"Phoenix Mountain? Is it reliable?" Li Dong was taken aback.
"Tsk! Let me tell you, Phoenix Mountain has been half-sealed since last year, and there is no way to get in. It is blocked by a big barbed wire. Do you believe it is all right? I can guarantee that there is a problem 100%!"
…
After three months of busy work, the industrial layout of Phoenix Mountain is basically completed.
First of all, not far from the winery, about 20 minutes away, there is another courtyard, which is a place for fruit farmers to live. The two yards are low-lying, very open and sunny. This area belongs to the front mountain and is dominated by various fruit trees.
Then there is the back mountain, where three courtyards were built. One is a tea house. The tea seeds have just been planted and have not yet been harvested, but the tea growers are already in place.
The other two, one is the residence of farmers, and the other is a workshop for drying grain and shelling.
In addition, there are some small fish in the streams in the mountains, and a lot of bamboo is planted in the front and back mountains, which is an additional decoration.
There are 14 winemakers, fruit farmers, tea farmers, and farmers on the mountain. They are all middle-aged and elderly people with heavy life pressure but high skills. Guo Fei is in his thirties and is actually the youngest.
Hard work!
They were lured by high salaries, and when they arrived, they found that they were on a pirate ship, and they couldn't escape even if they wanted to. The blood mosquito's gnats burrowed into the body, good guy, that kind of telepathy is simply indescribable.
Anyway, seeing Ms. Qiu was like meeting the Creator, kneeling down and calling Dad from the bottom of my heart.
But fortunately, the narcissus-like Miss Qiu is kind-hearted and kind to everyone. In contrast, the other Miss Sumire had a headache.
Today, in the wine shop.
Outside the big wine-making house, a lot of melon-eating people surrounded them, each of them tiptoeing and stretching their necks to look inside. In the house, Gao Mingde and Guo Fei are carrying out the last process, distillation.
"1, 2... go!"
The two of them bent over, shook off their arms, and after a struggle, they lifted a big bucket, which was full of fermented rice bran.
First put the raw materials into the steamer, cover and seal to prevent air leakage, then add firewood and ignite the fire.
Chai is wood from the mountains, and it is of high quality. The flames licked the steamer, and after a while, the temperature in the room rose rapidly, and the heat was billowing, and the two of them were sweating profusely.
The current brewing technology is usually divided into solid-state method and liquid method:
The solid-state method means that the raw materials for winemaking are in solid state. Through fermentation, the starch in the grain is converted into alcohol, the fat is converted into fatty acid esters and organic acids, and the protein is converted into alcohols, aldehydes, ketones and nitrogenous compounds. These ingredients together make up the wine.
The liquid method means that the raw materials for wine making are in a liquid state. To put it bluntly, it is edible alcohol + essence. There are basically no ingredients mentioned above, the time is short, the output is high, and the cost is low, so it is widely used.
The wine produced by the solid-state method is very precious, and some well-known wineries will produce a batch for evaluation and decoration. Gao Mingde had worked in a big winery before, but if he was an ordinary person, he might not understand it.
"Hoo..."
Steam was bubbling from the steamer, and the steam rose to the surface of the material, and soon there was a change.
"Drink out!"
Gao Mingde, who has rich experience, kept staring at the retort, and suddenly yelled. Guo Fei was taken aback, and quickly reduced the fire, and continued to simmer until the wine was finished.
"Hey, this scent!"
Guo Fei lifted the lid, and a strong aroma of wine wafted into his nostrils, without the pungent smell of new wine at all. He scooped up a little bit with a ladle, habitually wanting to taste it, but just as he brought it to his mouth, he reacted suddenly and said, "Master, I, can I drink it?"
"It's okay, we don't taste it, how do we know how to improve it? But Miss Qiu has explained, a little is enough, and no one will care if you die." Gao Mingde.
"I see!"
Guo Fei slipped away and took a small sip.
The taste of the freshly brewed wine is unstable, hot, and slightly toxic. It should be left for one night before drinking when the wine is cold.
But when he took a sip, he felt simple and vigorous, long and clean, full and harmonious.
As the saying goes, good wine has a line. This mellow alcohol smell spreads from the mouth, and the soft feeling slides down the throat to the stomach, comfortable, indescribably comfortable!
What's even more amazing is that in this comfort, I can feel the heat flowing through the meridians all over my body, which seems to add a bit of energy.
"Hey, my head is a little dizzy."
Guo Fei shook his head and passed the ladle over: "Master, you have a taste."
"Hiss!"
Gao Mingde also came a little bit, feeling more strongly. The hot flow slipped into the stomach, and the old stick in his fifties was excited for two seconds.
"Good, good, good wine!"
The old man's expression was like crying and laughing, and he kept praising.
The onlookers outside were also very excited, shouting one after another: "Old man, tell me, what does it smell like?"
"That's right, take it out and let us smell it!"
They are full of envy, but they dare not ask for wine. While it was bustling, a commotion was suddenly heard from the few people in the outermost circle, which quickly spread to the front.
"Miss Sumire is here!"
hum!
Everyone trembled, and Miss Qiu liked it, so let's forget about this one, she's just a monkey.
"Yo! Are you partying here in broad daylight?"
Xiao Jin made her grand entrance with her unique way of greeting, and rushed into the room directly: "The wine is good, bring me some."
"Here, here you are."
Guo Fei didn't dare to look up, and handed over a new scoop.
"I'm not very strong yet, try again, can you make a pot of spirits?"
Xiao Jin drank half a spoon, smashed her mouth: slightly dissatisfied. joke! Who is she, an eighth-ranked Northeast girl who blows bottles, brings her own white sable, and is 666 when she comes to the table.
"Okay, let's install the altar." She waved her hand.
"Uh, you didn't give us a wine jar, only a few barrels." Guo Fei was instantly embarrassed.
"No? If you don't give it, you can't pretend?"
"No, I, I..." This buddy was about to cry.
"Jinjin, you're bullying again!"
At this moment, another sound came from outside, helping him out of the siege in time.
The sun was shining brightly for everyone, and Long Qiu strode into the room, glared at the girl, and said with a smile: "You can pretend here, see if it's enough?"
As she said that, she shook her hand, and a big gourd appeared out of thin air, full of jasper, more than one meter high.
"Enough, enough!"
Guo Fei nodded dumbfounded, and hurriedly began to fill the wine, the capacity was just right.
Long Qiu took out another box of incense sticks and said with a smile, "Uncle, brother knows that you are not in good health, so this is a medicinal incense made for you. Light one every day, and you will be cured in a month."
"Oh, thank you! Thank you!"
Gao Mingde was extremely surprised, suppressed his emotions, and thanked him again and again.
"You're welcome, then let's go first."
She put away the big gourd, and in the awe-inspiring eyes of everyone, she grabbed Xiao Jin and flashed away.
As soon as the two girls went out, they heard the chaos in the room like a boiling pot. This group of guys was full of excitement, discussing all kinds of things, and glanced at Gao Mingde from time to time, with unabashed envy and hatred.
"Did you see it, did you see it? How did the gourd change? It really was a fairy trick."
"Old man, what kind of blessing did you cultivate in your previous life to be so valued by others!"
"Oh, I want to be sick!"
When they first came, they were very upset, and it subsided within a few days. Completely overwhelmed, this is a fairy fate!
Although I lose my freedom temporarily, I am close to the water, and if I don't keep it all, I have a chance. Even if I can't cultivate, but I still have children and grandchildren
No matter where the old employees are, there must be some thin noodles. In case a grandson is chosen, wouldn't he be happy in the future
