God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 1442 Exquisite wine barrel

Xu Jingxing said with a chuckle, "Brother Jing Xing is young and vigorous after all, and he is slightly better physically."

Zhu Yuanyuan nodded in agreement: "I knew that was the case. Brother Jing Xing has a well-proportioned body and moves briskly. Although Uncle Gao is very strong, he is also very clumsy. The same movements consume much more energy, so Brother Jing Xing only needs to be steady and steady." , will definitely win over time."

This is saying...

Although the result is correct, the process is completely out of tune, girl.

But Zhu Yuanyuan is not to blame, it is really a practitioner who cannot use common sense to deal with it.

If Gao Zhenyang was an ordinary warrior, then his huge and strong body would really be a burden.But for practitioners, especially for martial arts like Gao Zhenyang, it is just right that they can explode with stronger strength under the blessing of the true form. The stronger the body, the stronger the explosive force it can withstand.

In traditional martial arts, the one-strength drop-ten meeting is not just for talking, but for practical reasons. It is the same reason as those current competitive competitions. The bigger the body, the stronger the body. The more obvious the natural advantage is.

Although in traditional martial arts there is also a way of fighting with the weak to defeat the strong, but the appearance of that style of fighting itself proves the advantage of being strong and strong.

For example, Taijiquan, which is best at avoiding reality and emptiness, has a saying that four or two moves a thousand catties, but when using the same technique, the strength that can be resolved by thin and tall fighters is also very different.

Of course, there is no specific measurement standard for fighting itself. No matter what routine or race, it has never been a standard for measuring strength. Measuring strength has always been a matter between individuals.

Is taekwondo good?

In fact, many people disdain it, thinking it is just a show.

But for people like Xu Jingxing and Gao Zhenyang, Taekwondo is an incomparably ferocious killing technique, one kick is enough to instantly kill top practitioners in any fighting genre in the world today.

Even if some ordinary martial arts can really grasp the essence of Taekwondo, they can still exert huge lethality.

Really, although Taekwondo has various flaws, the lethality of legwork is not ambiguous at all.

That's why people often say that there is no best boxing method, only the most powerful boxer, and that's what it means.

It's a pity that although Zhu Yuanyuan is a martial idiot, his strength is still weak after all, his level is too low, and he doesn't have much actual combat experience. He has been working behind closed doors from beginning to end, so he doesn't know much about it.

But neither Xu Jingxing, Zhu Jinliang, nor Gao Zhenyang would tell Zhu Yuanyuan about this.

It's not that she looks down on Zhu Yuanyuan, but she simply doesn't want Zhu Yuanyuan to be involved in those circles. It's really not very friendly to a girl.

So the few of them giggled and blurted out the matter of the martial arts competition, and focused on the oak barrel that Zheng Sijin had brought.

Gao Zhenyang circled around the oak barrel twice, and lowered his head to sniff it: "You really put your heart into it, and you still make it so formally, this oak barrel looks decent, but I don't know if there is any grape juice in it. What you said is so delicious," said here with a smile: "Boy, let me tell you, in my opinion, this so-called wine is not as valuable as a few bunches of fresh grapes."

Xu Jingxing smiled: "You must hold on to it later, come on, get ready to open the barrel."

In fact, according to the formal process, the wine in the oak barrel needs to be filled into a glass bottle and sealed for a period of time, so that the taste will be more mellow and the taste will be better.

But where did Xu Jingxing have so much time to do this?Even these barrels of wine were made with the help of Lin Xiaoya.

Moreover, people in Daocheng are not so particular about making wine. They are usually bottled and fermented in small white plastic oil drums, and they are poured into the cup with the oil drum when drinking.

He has perfectly inherited this fine tradition. When giving this wine to some friends with ordinary relationships, it is just a small bucket for each family and the job is done. Fill in a bottle.

What's more, no matter what the public welfare is, it will not affect the taste of the wine, so he is even more lazy to make it.

But these oak barrels were built by him himself.

Making barrels is a traditional craft of carpenters. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to make furniture, but you can make small objects such as barrels, pot lids, and ladles. The most basic of tasks.

It's a little bit difficult, but it's hard to be sealed and strong.

The difference between a wine barrel and a water barrel is that the water barrel has no cover, while the wine barrel has a cover, and has higher requirements for sealing, and must be more durable. After all, it is not a disposable thing.

Therefore, when making these wine barrels, he not only selected the best oak for the jigsaw, but also got a batch of high-quality brass for the barrel hoops, and put a lot of thought into the barrel lids.

The lids of ordinary oak wine barrels are sealed, and then two openings are opened on the top, one for wine inlet, and the other for installing a faucet to make a water outlet.

Old-fashioned oak barrels have detachable lids, which can be removed one by one just like the door panels.

These two methods are not very convenient, the former is not easy to clean, and the latter's sealing cannot be guaranteed.

But he ingeniously made the barrel lid into a rotating buckle type, using the mortise and tenon structure in the traditional craft as the theoretical basis, and buckled the inner edge of the wooden barrel to match the mortise and groove of the barrel lid. Press down the quasi-mortise groove, then twist it clockwise, and then insert a dowel into the mortise hole, the lid and the barrel will bite tightly, and as the wine soaks, the bite force will only increase. The stronger it is, the better the sealing will be.

At the same time, he opened a small hole with a diameter of five centimeters on the barrel lid, and installed a small rotatable hole plug on the same principle, so that when taking wine, he only needs to use a long-handled wine spoon made from the same project The wine can be taken from the small hole to avoid large-scale volatilization of the wine after the lid is opened, which will affect the taste.

When making these wine barrels, it can be said that he was careless. He simply made these wine barrels as works of art. Patterns, the patterns on each wine barrel are different, and there are all kinds of themes such as flowers, grass, insects, fish, figures, landscapes and so on.

So it looks extra classy.

After these barrels are sent out, they are recycled so that they can be reused next time.

The bucket carried by Zheng Sijin is engraved with a picture of a good harvest. The main content is the picture of the autumn harvest of the people in the island city. There are seas, Laoshan Mountains, a large number of fields and harvesting farmers on the picture. Most of the farmers in the picture are Digging for peanuts.

Peanuts are the most common and most common cash crops for farmers in the island city. Every autumn, the farmland is full of people digging peanuts with bare feet.

Such a picture is very kind to the people of Daocheng.

By the way, Xu Jingxing’s family also has an acre and a half of peanut fields, but they have been leased to Liu Dahai long ago. No rent is required. Every year, they only receive some new peanuts and two barrels of self-pressed peanut oil. This year’s new oil and new peanuts only arrived a few days ago. to the capital.

His sister likes shelled peanuts roasted with sand the most. That was the snack that the siblings ate the most when they were young. After a long time, they have become a habit.

Of course, he must be the one in charge, and only he knows his sister's taste.

On the day the new peanuts were mailed to the capital, he cooked a big pot for his sister to eat.

For this reason, his family also specially kept a pot of sand that has been used for many years. The sand was dug from the seaside and washed many times and mixed with some sea salt. It was used every year. Over time, the sand have become different.

And those sands can be used not only for frying peanuts, but also for other dishes. The most common one is braised chicken. Wrap the cleaned half-sized chicken in tin foil and put it in an iron pot and cover it with sand. , and then heat it slowly over a low heat. After an hour, it will be on fire. After the sand becomes warm, take it out and eat it.

The taste, the texture, it's absolutely amazing.

His sister could eat a whole one in one sitting.

So seeing the picture on the wooden barrel at this moment, even Xu Jingxing himself felt very kind, it was full of memories, and it was the impression of the island city in his mind.

Such a picture, he probably will never forget it in his life.

After reminiscing in his heart, he pinched the horizontal twist on the small hole cover on the bucket lid, twisted it lightly, and the hole cover bounced up slightly under the action of internal pressure, and a trace of cool, sweet and special breath was born since childhood. emitted from the hole.

Zhu Jinliang and Zhu Yuanyuan, who had tasted the wine long ago, took a long breath and were reluctant to let it out for a long time, with intoxicated expressions all over their faces.

Zheng Sijin was new here and had no status before, so she hadn't tasted this wine yet, but she just knew it existed, so she also took a deep breath, and then slowly closed her eyes, as if falling asleep.

Gao Zhenyang's reaction was very intense. After smelling the scent, he was stunned for a moment, and then he threw himself to the side of the wooden barrel, inhaling fiercely like a whale swallowing a long river, and took a full breath for more than ten seconds. , It took another 20 seconds to spit it out slowly, and said in a low voice, "brother, this wine smells so good!"

Xu Jingxing laughed when he heard the words: "Look, what I said, human beings really can't escape the law of true fragrance, even an expert like Mr. Gao is no exception."

Gao Zhenyang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and nodded, "I can't refuse this taste, it's too fragrant, I don't know how it tastes."

"Then let's have a taste," Xu Jingxing smiled and used an oak spoon worn on each barrel to scoop it out from the small hole.

This wine spoon is similar to the spoons used by merchants selling vinegar and soy sauce in the past. It has a long straight handle and a cylindrical spoon is fixed at the end. go in.

A spoonful is half the size of a standard red wine glass.
