The history of the struggle of the God of the Stove

Chapter 336
Hearing the steward's report that Empress Shiji had come, Qi Yuan rushed to the front hall to meet her.

"Meet my uncle."

Qi Yuan saluted Jishou with a smile, led Shiji into the main hall and sat down, and asked: "Why is Master Uncle free to come to me today?"

Shi Ji smiled lightly: "Why, I can't come if there's nothing wrong?"

"how come?"

Qi Yuan quickly said: "Didn't I hear that my uncle was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the queen mother to be responsible for arranging the peach feast? It stands to reason that my uncle should not have much time to come to my place."

Last time he stayed in the Heavenly Court for several months, he also met Shiji twice, and knew that not only had she advanced to the Taiyi realm in terms of cultivation, but she was also highly valued by the Queen Mother.

Shi Ji was even in charge of the Pantao Banquet held in Yao Chi soon after, which shows that Shi Ji is quite easy among the female fairies in the Heavenly Court.

"I'm really busy during this time, but I still have time to spare."

Shi Ji smiled and said, "It's not that the steward of your Kitchen God Division reported that you need fine nectar and jade liquid and some fairy fruits. I just happened to discuss with you about the Peach Fair, so I personally delivered the things to you."

While speaking, she waved her hand lightly, and a jade vase and a flower basket floated out from her sleeve, and gently landed on the table in front of Qi Yuan.

The jade bottle was filled with fine nectar and jade liquid, and Qi Yuan's spiritual sense scanned it, and found that there was quite a lot, more than ten times more than what Master Bixiao gave him back then.

Originally, Qi Yuan just planned to add some fine nectar and jade liquid into the raw materials for brewing wine, trying to brew fairy wine, because there was no guarantee that it would be successful, so he didn't plan to ask for more, but he didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so generous, and all of a sudden I gave him so much, which made him a little embarrassed.

As for the flower basket, although it looks exquisite and small, it has a large interior space, filled with fairy fruits that are abundant in the heavens, and there are all kinds of fairy fruits, even some fairy peaches, but they are not from the Queen Mother's Peach Garden. It's just flat peaches.

After all, the flat peaches have to be reserved for the Pantao Festival, when the queen mother will invite all the gods in the heavenly court, as well as many powerful and free and unrestrained immortals from the Three Realms.

There were too many people participating in the grand event, and the peaches produced by the [-] flat peach trees were not mature at the same time, so in case there would not be enough points, some were not sent to him. .

But even so, Qi Yuan was quite happy.

Although he had transplanted quite a few spirit fruit trees in the Creation Thunder Cauldron, not too many had reached the immortal rank. Of course he was happy to receive so many immortal fruits at once.

Now not only do they have the raw materials for wine making, but they can even eat a lot of fairy fruits on weekdays.

"Thank you so much, Uncle, and please ask Uncle to tell the empress for me when I go back, saying that I will try my best to prepare the banquet for the Pantao Festival."

Qi Yuan waved and put the jade vase and flower basket aside, this is not the time to fiddle with them.

Shiji nodded his head lightly, but he felt a little sigh in his heart.

I think that when I first met Qi Yuan, he was just a new Qi refiner, and his body was old, and his aptitude was not very good. I thought that he would not be able to practice well in his life, but he did not expect that not only After worshiping under Daoist brother Zhao Gongming, he was able to cultivate into an immortal in just over ten years.

When she got the news at the beginning, she was taken aback. For a while, she thought that the Qi Baimei she knew was not the same person.

Here she lamented Qi Yuan's rapid progress in cultivation, but she didn't know that Qi Yuan was also surprised when he saw the aura on her body.

To be honest, Shi Ji was promoted to the realm of Taiyi Xuanxian after the catastrophe, a few years later than Yazi.

But her strong aura is obviously much stronger than Ya Zi who was born in the Dragon Clan.

In particular, she is faintly entwined with the energy of water, volcano, wind and thunder, and she has comprehended the number of the six hexagrams in the innate way of gossip. The possibility of proving Da Luo Jinxian.

Xiantian gossip was taught by Emperor Fuxi, and many Taoist disciples of the three religions also dabbled in it. However, Xiantian gossip is obscure and difficult to understand, so most of them learn Houtian gossip.

Like Shi Ji, there are not many people who can deduce the innate gossip to this level.

It's just that the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun are also the most difficult to comprehend. Whether Shi Ji will have that opportunity in the future depends on her own fortune.

"By the way, what do you want these fairy fruits for? Can these things also be used for cooking?"

After sighing, Shiji asked curiously.

Qi Yuan smiled lightly: "It's no problem to cook, and some of the fairy fruits can be used to make a few dishes, but I want these things mainly to study whether I can brew fairy wine."

"Immortal wine?"

Shiji showed a puzzled expression: "Why don't you study the dishes carefully and make wine?"

"Uncle Master doesn't know."

Qi Yuan chuckled: "It is said that there is no banquet without wine, and the flat peach feast is one of the most important events in the Three Realms. It is also the first time for my nephew and nephew to help the Queen Mother with this matter. Of course, I want to be perfect.

Although Qiongye Yuye is delicious, but after all, the output is scarce, so how much will it cost to drink it together with so many gods?I'm afraid that Tianting's family property cannot be consumed like this every time there is a grand event, after all, there will be no fewer gods in each grand event in the future.

Drinks are different, they are relatively easy to obtain, and are more suitable for banquets.

Uncle Master doesn't know if he hasn't drunk it. After I brew the immortal wine, please taste it and you will know the taste. "

"Is it?"

Shi Ji glanced at Qi Yuan suspiciously, but she also wanted to hold the flat peach feast better, since Qi Yuan has a new idea, let him toss it, even if he tosses all the things she brought , in terms of Tiangong's family background, it is nothing.

Afterwards, Shiji discussed with Qi Yuan about some things about the Pantao Feast, including the approximate number of people attending the banquet, and what else Qi Yuan needs. When the time comes, what level of dishes will be prepared, and they will need to be matched one by one. good job.

Even if it is a feast in the Yaochi, it is impossible for the Queen Mother to treat everyone equally.

For the righteous gods in power in the various ministries of the Heavenly Court, as well as those great powers in the Three Realms, of course they should be entertained with a relatively high standard. Not only are the flat peaches selected to be 9000 years old, but the dishes must also be the best. of.

If it is an ordinary god in the realm of celestial beings, or an ordinary god like the four heavenly kings guarding the Tianmen, it is definitely impossible to entertain the flat peaches that ripen every 9000 years.

It is impossible to produce too many such rare fairy peaches. There are so many immortals in the heaven, how can we manage to have one of them.

After discussing these matters carefully, Shi Ji will not stay soon. She still has a lot of things to do, including how the servants and maids in the Heavenly Palace should entertain the immortals. relatively busy.

After all, it is impossible for the Queen Mother to arrange these things in person, so of course the close female fairies like Shiji are required to implement them in detail.

After seeing off Shiji, Qi Yuan plunged into his own mansion at the back and began to study the brewing method of immortal wine.

These things are not too difficult to say, the key is that if you want to brew the best wine, it will take more thought.

After all, it is not as simple as mixing alcohol with water, but brewed from raw materials rich in aura, which takes a lot of time and energy.

Fortunately, Qi Yuan has already become a fairy, and there are ways to speed up the process, otherwise, after he wastes a lot of time brewing the fairy wine, I am afraid that the flat peach festival will be over.

Moreover, what Qi Yuan wants to brew is not just one kind of immortal wine, he plans to brew several more wines with different tastes, which are suitable for different immortals. At that time, he can find some fellows to try in advance, if they are popular If so, he intends to brew in large quantities.

Because now he only intends to do research by himself, so he didn't ask those guys from the Craftsmanship Division to help refine the various equipment for brewing, but used some materials to refine several sets by himself.

Then he spent some more time and made some distiller's yeast.

When making wine, you must add koji, which can be said to be the essence of brewing spirit wine.

Afterwards, he sorted and prepared all kinds of spiritual food produced in Lei Ding and the spiritual fruit sent by Shiji. After soaking, steaming, cooling, mixing koji, fermenting, and distilling, he removed the dregs, and then added The koji powder is stirred evenly, sent to the fermentation tank to ferment for twelve days, and then distilled again to complete the second wine process.

At this time, there are fewer miscellaneous flavors in the wine, and the aroma of the wine is more mellow and smooth. During the second distillation process, the first wine that flows out has a high concentration of fairy spirit. This is the head of wine he specially collected. The concentration of fairy spirit gradually decreased, and the concentration of the final wine tail was relatively light, containing only a small amount of fairy spirit.

Qi Yuan has been distilled several times successively, and at the same time, he also tried to add a lot of fine nectar and jade liquid and various fairy fruit and elixir, using the method to combine the fairy energy and spiritual power, and finally collect them separately according to the concentration of the fairy energy , blending, requiring its color, aroma, and taste to reach a balance, and finally filling it into various jade bottles by category.

After all, it is immortal wine for immortals, so it must be packaged in a good-looking way to be high-grade, not to mention that ordinary bottles and cans cannot seal the spirit spirit in it.

However, these jade bottles of his were also refined from various spiritual jades, which made him feel a little distressed.

Although it didn't consume much, but he had to pay for it even though he was doing business for the public, which made him feel a little unbalanced.

However, he was too embarrassed to ask the Queen Mother to reimburse him for such a small amount of resources. He was afraid of being laughed at. Besides, the Queen Mother was always generous and gave him far more than what he asked for.

Since you can't get reimbursed from the Queen Mother, then find an opportunity to get it back from other places. For example, those guys from the Craftsmanship Division must beat them hard. Who makes them the most lucrative in heaven? one of the departments.

In the end, Qi Yuan stored these fairy wines in the wine cellar that he specially dug out. Generally speaking, it takes at least six months to store them in the cellar to remove the spicy taste in the new wine and make it taste better.
