178 Strange scent
Finally making new wine?
Zhang Heng's eyes lit up and he asked quickly: "Brother Lu, can you give out new wine tonight?"
The work of Xiaweitang, Liangshiquan, water transportation and other work is progressing smoothly, but Lu Ting takes the idea and explains one direction, and then the people below do it. The winery is the job that Lu Ting values the most. It is Lu Ting who chooses the location of the winery, buys all the people who can make wine, keep it confidential, and other work alone. This is the first time Zhang Heng has seen Lu Ting do things so seriously.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a secret winery, and even Zhang Heng cannot enter it.
It is definitely not easy to make Lu Ting take it so seriously. Zhang Heng is full of expectations for the winery.
"Yes, wait." Lu Ting said confidently.
While the reservoir was still building, Lu Ting brewed a lot of rice wine in a natural stone cave on Liangshi Mountain. After several days of fermentation, the wine has been brewed successfully. What we need to do now is to purify the wine.
Huaxia winemaking can be traced back to the Xia Dynasty and even earlier. The brewing technology is no longer a secret. Ordinary people can also brew and drink it at home. Whether it is good or not depends mainly on technology. There are many famous wines in the Tang Dynasty, such as the rich water in Yingzhou, the Ruoxia in Wucheng, the earth cave spring in Xingyang, the stone frozen spring in Fuping, the roasted spring in Jiannan, and there are also jade scabbage, koji rice spring, Laochun, pine wine, pear blossom spring, bamboo leaf wine, osmanthus fermentation, Yichun wine, Xuanhua mellow, mulberry wine, Wuyun slurry, tulips, etc., with a wide variety.
Lu Ting investigated and found that there were many good wines. Unfortunately, the Tang Dynasty did not have purification technology. The wine was similar to that of later beer, and the color and smell were not satisfactory. He had long wanted to make wine and sell it, but the previous opportunity was not yet ripe, and the capital, government permissions, channels, etc. had not yet improved.
Now it is different. With Liangshi Mountain, the location and materials are available, Xiaweitang has expanded, and Li Er also obtained a brewing license for Wuyitang, which can be brewed and sold, which is just a big show.
"Okay, I won't leave tonight." Zhang Heng said immediately.
The two chatted for a few more times, then divided the work and cooperated. Lu Ting went to the winery to make wine, and Zhang Heng went to see the progress of the craftsmen repairing the water truck.
Xue Wanche said that the water inlet was larger, and after opening the lid, you could see clearly inside, so that you would no longer need to stretch out something to check, so as not to get dirty from the spring water.
Zhang Heng was a man who could do it at will. After a while, he heard him shouting loudly, as if he was dissatisfied with the progress of the craftsmen's rectification. Lu Ting shook his head and prepared to go to the winery to purify the winery and steam the first bottle of distilled wine of the Tang Dynasty.
Just after walking two steps, Lu Ting stopped and his eyes fell on a large stone next to him.
There is nothing special about the big stone, especially there is a person next to it, Ren Zhenhai who is leaning on the stone and drinking with a wine gourd in his hand.
According to the agreement, Chi Lian's wife She Siniang and Ren Zhenhai protected Lu Ting for three years. Lu Ting discovered that Chi Niang and his wife rarely appeared together, and usually took turns to protect each other. Ren Zhenhai was here, and I don't know where Siniang went.
As soon as he saw Ren Zhenhai, Lu Ting's eyes lit up, and he walked over with a smile and said, "Brother Ren, where is the fourth lady?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Ren Zhenhai didn't raise his head, and said with mercy.
It seems that Lu Ting is not worthy of his words.
Lu Ting said with some anticipation: "Brother Ren, can you think about accepting apprentices? I will have all the wine you drink in the future."
Ren Zhenhai looked up at Lu Ting, his eyes were a little impatient, and suddenly flashed and disappeared quickly on the back of the stone.
He actually left directly, without even saying a word of politeness...
Lu Ting's face looked a little embarrassed, he rubbed his nose and left with a wry smile.
Seeing that chaos was approaching, Lu Ting felt that his skills were too poor. Not to mention being a great hero or a great ranger, it was probably a problem to protect himself. He had always wanted to find a master to learn some self-defense skills. Lu Ting asked Zhang Heng for advice. Zhang Heng said that there are many masters in Wuyi Hall, but most of them are battlefield skills, which are the kind of killing skills suitable for large-scale collaborative combat. It is best to practice on the battlefield. The most suitable person to teach Lu Ting is the human weapon Ren Zhenhai.
It is said that Ren Zhenhai has family-born martial arts and has also visited many famous teachers. He combined a variety of martial arts and created a set of martial arts that suit him.
What made Lu Ting most excited was Zhang Heng said that Ren Zhenhai had an internal breathing technique that could cultivate both internal and externally, strengthen the body and enhance combat effectiveness. When he fought with him in the past, after a tough battle, others were so tired that they were slumped on the ground and did not want to move, but Ren Zhenhai was still alive and relied on that internal breathing technique.
Internal breathing technique? Could it be the legendary internal power?
Lu Ting showed kindness to Ren Zhenhai many times, hoping that he could accept himself as his disciple. Ren Zhenhai was so annoyed that he only said, "I am old, my muscles and bones are average, I have no foundation, and it is useless." Then he stopped responding, even taking the wife's route was useless.
Chi Lian’s wife She Siniang said that she did not object to Lu Ting’s apprenticeship, but her husband’s temper was very stubborn, so Lu Ting could only work hard on his own.
Failed again.
While Ren Zhenhai leaned under the tree to drink, She Siniang walked over with a smile and said as she walked, "Husband, has Master Lu bothered you to learn the art again?"
Seeing that it was his wife, Ren Zhenhai shook his head with a wry smile: "He is not a material for learning martial arts."
"I think he is quite interesting. Why don't you teach him how to defend himself?" She Siniang advised.
At first, She Siniang looked down on Lu Ting, but she reluctantly agreed because of Zhang Heng's face. Unexpectedly, she got along well, and the food and clothing cost was no different from Lu Ting. Lu Ting not only sent pomegranates to serve him, but also gave gifts to She Siniang every few days. It was not expensive gifts. It was mostly exquisite gouache, and I don't know where he got silk and satin.
It’s true that She Siniang just takes his trick.
Ren Zhenhai shook his head firmly: "If you say you don't teach, don't teach. You have to learn to defend yourself, just look for Zhang Heng."
"Okay, let it go." She Siniang's husband had a famous stubborn temper. The nine-headed cows couldn't turn around and no longer persuaded him. Instead, the couple stayed together quietly.
There are many things that emphasize the word "fate".
Time flies very quickly, and before I know it, the sun sets, and the sun sets in the west.
Suddenly, Ren Zhenhai's nose wings moved, as if he could smell something, and his whole body suddenly started to move, took a deep breath, and said in surprise: "What does this smell?"
"I guess it's Mei Niang who cooks something delicious. Lu Ting invited a good cook." She Siniang responded casually.
The Lu family is only Lu Ting's owner. Mei Niang will follow him wherever Lu Ting goes. She Si Niang has ate a lot of good food. It is almost time for dinner. Now there is a tempting smell of food floating in Liangshishan.
Now, it’s less than a month since Lu Ting has been protected, and her waist has grown fat. She Siniang silently increases the amount of time she practices martial arts every day by half an hour.
"Hey, it's not right." She Siniang frowned and said in surprise: "This is the fragrance of wine. Strange, what kind of wine smells so strong and so mellow, is it..."
