The history of the struggle of the God of the Stove

Chapter 403 Test
"Huh? Liu Ling?"

When Qi Yuan heard the woman's shouting and cursing in the distance, his heart suddenly moved, and he turned his head to look over.

Among the crowd in the distance, a tall woman with a face full of anger, pulled the boy's ears with one hand, and slapped the boy's buttocks several times with a broom bump in the other, obviously the anger in her heart was hard to calm .

The boy's face was flushed, his eyes were blurred, and he smelled like alcohol.

It was obvious that he drank too much alcohol, he was half drunk and half awake, he let his old lady beat and scold him, and he didn't know how to cry, but he was still giggling.

After the woman slapped her a few times, although she was very angry, she was not willing to deal with it again, but she still couldn't help scolding the child.

Qi Yuan looked at the young man carefully, but he was twelve or thirteen years old, with average appearance, small eyes and high nose bridge, nothing unusual about him.

Looking at the boy's roots, he can only be regarded as a middle-aged man.

According to the current standards of the Emei Sword Sect, such a child would not be accepted under normal circumstances.

Because most of the Emei disciples are excellent children reported by the gods below, this child named Liu Ling is obviously not outstanding from a fundamental point of view.

However, Qi Yuan didn't care too much about the quality of his roots.

What really touched him was the child's name.

"Liu Ling? It's interesting."

Qi Yuan secretly laughed in his heart, and led his junior sister towards the crowd.

Naturally, this Liu Ling was not a famous scholar in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, nor was he the Drunken Marquis who was one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove.

It's just a person with the same name.

However, because a name can attract Qi Yuan's attention, it can be regarded as a kind of fate.

So Qi Yuan didn't mind testing the boy.

Now the various affairs in the Kitchen God Division have been on the right track, more and more spiritual chefs have been cultivated, and the income brought to the Kitchen God Division is even more expensive, because there are subordinate gods to take care of it, and a group of elders to look after it, It's not a problem even if he doesn't often.

However, the Dionysus position in the Kitchen God Division has always been vacant.

Moreover, for more than a hundred years, Qi Yuan has devoted most of his energy to cultivating disciples, and he has not devoted himself to the affairs of the Kitchen God Division. Of course, he has no energy to research other immortal wines.

In recent years, other forces have also produced some immortal wines. Although they are far from being comparable to the Kitchen God Division in terms of fame and output, it will definitely affect the Kitchen God Division's income in the long run.

Although Qi Yuan also consciously trained a few disciples to learn how to make wine, but they don't have any special talent in this area, coupled with their lack of cultivation, it is difficult to brew immortal wine with better taste.

So he wanted to test this young man named Liu Ling, and if it was suitable, he didn't mind taking him under his family.

As for general aptitude, as long as there are a lot of resources to cultivate, it is not a problem. The key is to see if the young man himself can get into Qi Yuan's eyes.

The two restrained their breath, and stood outside the crowd quietly in front of the melon-eating crowd.

Although they still look extraordinary, they don't have the aura of immortals, just like two ordinary mortals.

After a while, they learned something from the voices of the crowd.

This village makes a living from brewing wine, and most of the families will brew wine and sell it. At present, the family that makes the best wine in the village is Liu Ling's family.

"Hey, Liu Ling is a genius, he can help the family brew wine at a young age, but it's a pity that he has developed a drinking habit since he was a child, and he often gets drunk. If things go on like this, what can happen! "

"Yeah yeah."

Someone next to him interjected: "This kid is really, he doesn't drink at home, and he dares to drink in the wine cellar secretly. What if the wine sent to the government is not enough?"

A group of people discussed a lot, some lamented that Liu's wine was clear and fragrant, and some lamented that Liu Ling was ignorant.

But fortunately, everyone is from the same village, and after Liu's mother vented her anger after beating and scolding for a while, they all spoke out to persuade her, and some people gave Liu's advice and taught her how to discipline her children.

After Qi Yuan listened for a while, he suddenly reached out and took out a yellow leather gourd.

The gourd is not too big, only the size of a palm.

After Qi Yuan opened the gourd plug, a faint smell of wine wafted away.

This is the spiritual wine he brewed in his early years, but since the immortal wine appeared, he has forgotten these spiritual wines in a corner.

If it hadn't been on a whim today, he probably would have forgotten about how much gourd spirit wine he still had on him.

After only a few breaths, the young man whose eyes were drunk and blurred by his mother's ears suddenly lit up, raised his head and sniffed around.

Just when he was about to look towards Qi Yuan in the direction where the scent of wine came, he was dragged back by his old mother's ears.

"It hurts, it hurts, mother, please forgive me, my ear is about to fall off..."

After Liu Ling woke up immediately, he felt the pain immediately, and felt that his old mother's hands were like iron tongs, which made his ears hurt. After grinning, he begged for mercy.

"Hmph, you little bastard, you still know how to cry out in pain?"

Although Mother Liu was still angry in her heart, she let go of her hand and rubbed his ears by the way, scolding unrelentingly: "If you dare to steal wine from the wine cellar in the future, believe it or not, I will lock you up in the wine cellar." Is it soaking in the tank?"

"Hey, that's a good relationship. Then the child of the province will pick the lock and sneak in."

"you……"

Mother Liu raised her hand angrily and raised the broom in her hand. Before it landed, Liu Ling had already sprinted away. Amidst a burst of laughter, she got out of the crowd and came in front of Qi and Yuan.

But he didn't look at Qi Yuan, but stared straight at the yellow gourd in Qi Yuan's hand with both eyes.

From the day he was born, his father had been feeding him some wine with chopsticks dipped in it. He didn't know how much wine he had drunk until now. He had also tasted wine from other people's homes in the whole village, but he had never smelled it. Been to such a charming bouquet.

Only by smelling some flavors, he felt refreshed. If he took a sip, he would be as good as a god.

Before he came back to his senses, he saw the yellow-skinned gourd being picked up by a slender jade-like palm and put into a person's mouth.

grunt.

As Qi Yuan took a sip of the spirit wine, Liu Ling couldn't help swallowing, and looked eagerly at the gourd that Qi Yuan lifted.

It wasn't until Qi Yuan put down the gourd and exhaled a faint aroma of wine that Liu Ling came back to his senses and looked at Qi Yuan.

The rest of the villagers realized that outsiders were present at this time, and at the same time, they also noticed the alluring aroma of wine, and they were suddenly surprised.

Most of the people in this village make wine for a living, so they are no strangers to the taste of wine, but they have never experienced such an alluring aroma.

They looked at this white-haired but young-looking Taoist, and the beautiful woman beside him, secretly guessing where these two people came from.

"Xianchang, what kind of wine is in your gourd...?"

Liu Ling asked softly what all the villagers wanted to know.

Qi Yuan chuckled: "This is a kind of wine brewed by Pindao himself in his early years. Why, do you want to try it too?"

"is it okay?"

Liu Ling looked at Qi Yuan in surprise and joy, he never thought that this immortal Taoist would be so approachable.

"Ha ha……"

Qi Yuan said with a smile: "It's just a little wine, if you want to drink, it doesn't matter if I give you some!"

"Thank you Immortal, thank you Immortal."

Liu Ling smiled happily, as if she was dancing.

Qi Yuan smiled lightly, stretched out his hand and passed the gourd over: "Here, here you go, try it!"

Liu Ling quickly wiped her hands on her clothes twice, then stretched out her hands and carefully took the yellow leather gourd, brought it to her mouth, and carefully tasted it.

Then, the man was stunned, and he didn't react for a long time.

The villagers on the side were anxious, and someone asked: "How is it, Liu family boy, how does this wine taste? Compared with your peach blossom wine, which one is better?"

Liu Ling didn't respond, but put the gourd into her mouth and took another sip.

He squinted his eyes and felt it carefully. The clear wine entered his stomach along his throat, and then turned into a fiery breath, as if flowing all over his limbs and bones, making him feel a little giddy.

After a while, he came back to his senses, and reluctantly returned the gourd in his hand to Qi Yuan.

Although this young man is fond of wine, the quality of the wine is not bad. Even if he wanted to drink a few more sips, he didn't treat other people's things as if they were his own, so he returned the gourd to the past.

He said in his mouth: "Xianchang's wine is more than a hundred times better than our family's peach blossom wine. I don't know how the Xianchang's wine is made?"

Qi Yuan naturally knew that this young man was a drinker, but seeing that he was able to control his desire to return the gourd, he nodded in satisfaction.

He didn't care about this spirit wine, it was just an ordinary spirit wine brewed in the early years.

But this young man is just an ordinary person who doesn't know how to practice. After drinking it, he can naturally feel the extraordinaryness in it. He is not greedy to drink a few more sips at a young age, but he seems to know the rules. This makes Qi Yuan a little Surprised.

He looked into the young man's eager eyes, and asked without answering, "Your family's peach blossom wine is probably the best wine in this village. Have you ever thought about teaching how to make this wine?"

Liu Ling was stunned for a moment, then she came to her senses and bowed: "The boy is rude, please don't blame the elder."

That's right, I'm not willing to teach others how to make wine at home, and I just met this Taoist priest for the first time today, so why should he tell me how to make wine that is hundreds of times better than my own wine?

Qi Yuan once again discovered to his surprise that this young man was far more intelligent than ordinary children.

Generally, young people of his age seldom hear another layer of meaning from Qi Yuan's words, but this young man was able to react immediately.

It seems that this son is not only good at drinking, but also quite intelligent. What's more rare is that he can guard his heart, and he has no intention of coveting things that don't belong to him, which is especially rare.

Qi Yuan is now also an existence in the realm of Taiyi Xuanxian. Although he has never learned the art of matching people, he has reached the realm of Taoism. For ordinary people, he can roughly analyze his character at a glance.

Judging from Zi Shicai's behavior, Qi Yuan thinks he is pretty good.

Therefore, Qi Yuan asked: "Would you like to learn how to brew wine with me?"

"what?"

Liu Ling was stunned for a moment, although she kept asking in pleasant surprise, "Will the Taoist master pass on this method of brewing wine to me?"

"Hehehe..."

Qi Yuan laughed loudly and said: "The wine you drank just now is just an ordinary spirit wine. Among the various drinks that Pindao has researched, there are many that taste better than this spirit wine. I am not afraid that you will learn, but I am afraid that you will not be able to learn."

After Liu Ling heard these words, her first reaction was that the Taoist in front of her was bragging.

But then he thought that the wine he just drank was really not like an ordinary thing, until now he could feel the warm current in his body still exists.

The peach blossom wine brewed by his family is already considered a very good wine. Even the officials in the government have ordered them to make wine, so even if the wine brewed by ordinary people is better than theirs, it is not the same. As for being so strong.

From this point of view, the Taoist in front of him should be a Taoist existence.

Only Taoists who know magic can brew such amazing wine.

Qi Yuan went on to say: "However, there is one thing you have to think about clearly, Pindao is a foreigner, so it is inconvenient to stay here for a long time.

If you want to learn how to brew wine with me, you must worship me as your teacher and come back to the mountain with me. "

If this young man didn't go back to the mountain with him, he wouldn't be able to teach him. It's impossible for this ordinary small mountain village to have the materials to brew spirit wine.
