"Fifty years ago, the Heavenly Star Continent was once again thrown into chaos. Every aristocratic family supported their own empire and fought for hegemony. Amongst them, the Yuchi and Shang Guan families had their own inheritances. However, their luck was not good and they were all defeated and exterminated! Thus, in order to make up for the eight great aristocratic families, the Ling family and the Yang Family were added to the list. "As he said this, Ye QingChen looked at Ling Tian with a smile that was not a smile.
Ling Tian chuckled and said, "Mister does not need to look at me like that. This junior already knows that the Ling family is only used to make up for the eight great aristocratic families. I'm afraid that it's even worse than the Yang Family, this junior understands! "
"Hahaha …" Ye QingChen admired Ling Tian's honesty and could not help but pat Ling Tian's shoulders. "Brat, you are indeed open-minded! Not bad! Not bad! "
Err!
Ling Tian was speechless! Just a moment ago, he was still addressing him as young noble. How did he become a brat in the blink of an eye? Seeing Ye QingChen's face turn red, Ling Tian could not help but sigh in his heart. An expert like Ye QingChen was indeed extraordinary. Even the change in the way he addressed her had caught her off guard! Furthermore, you are too good at drinking. In just a short period of time, my Green Bamboo Leaf is almost empty!
"Mister's alcohol tolerance is really not bad!" Ling Tian did not know if he was praising or ridiculing Ling Tian. As long as it was someone who was really drunk, no matter if it was a man or a woman, no matter if it was a wise person or a lowly person, their morals would not be very good …
"Of course! This old man … has roamed the world for … decades and has never been drunk … before. Only today's wine … good wine, it is really good wine! Worth getting drunk! What harm is there in getting drunk to death! "Ye QingChen was already a little drunk and his tongue was also a little big. One had to know that Ling Tian's Green Bamboo Leaf was very different from the wine that Ye QingChen had tasted before.
Compared to the wine in this world, the wine culture in Ling Tian's original world was much more advanced. Even when Ling Tian drank the legendary strongest wine in this world, the 'Intoxication of All', it did not have much of a taste. It was just like the wine in his previous world. While it was mellow, it was far from being intoxicating. Thus, Ling Tian thought of making his own wine.
In his previous life, Ling Tian had to remain calm and not drink too much because of his personal matters. However, he was still a wine connoisseur. When it came to wine tasting, judging, and even brewing good wine, he was very knowledgeable. In his previous life, the Ling family had a few high-class wineries that specialized in brewing premium wines. Ling Tian was very fond of these wineries and had studied many of the wine-brewing processes. With the rich experience that he had accumulated in his previous life, Ling Tian opened a secret courtyard in the Ling House and brewed a few types of premium wines with ease. He kept them hidden deep in the courtyard.
This was especially so for the wine culture of the Heavenly Star Continent. While the wine culture of the Heavenly Star Continent was not high, the raw materials used to make wine were much easier to obtain compared to his previous life. Even the best wine that was difficult to brew in his previous life was created by Ling Tian. The Green Bamboo Leaf that he drank today was one of them.
However, Ling Tian had never thought of making money from this. Brewing the premium wines in his memory was mostly to fulfill a wish of his. Just like how a real wine taster and wine connoisseur might not even be half as greedy for wine, he also knew that the rarer something was, the more valuable it was. If the premium wines that he brewed were to be spread out, they would only be treated as premium goods with a slightly higher price. However, if he was the only one who had it, then it would be a rare commodity worth hoarding! According to Ling Tian's impression, most of the experts in the world were fond of wine. However, in this era, there were too few that could be considered as premium wines. It could even be said that there was none! Even the world's most famous "Intoxication of All Beings" was not much better than this. If Ling Tian casually took out a premium wine that he brewed himself, it would be comparable. The difference was like the difference between heaven and earth. It was incomparable!
Ling Tian had this kind of thought in his heart. Intuitively, he felt that if these premium wines did not spread out, they would be of greater help to him. While he might not be able to attract those experts to help him, he would at least be able to shorten the distance between him and them. In fact, he might even be able to turn enemies into friends. Furthermore, there were some experts who were truly addicted to wine. At that time, Ling Tian could just casually throw out a bottle of wine to make one of them submit to him. That was something that was not impossible.
Today, after meeting Ye QingChe, Ling Tian was even more certain of his thoughts. Indeed, the rarer something was, the more valuable it was. Thinking of this, Ling Tian suddenly felt that the classic plot of wine-making in the time-travel novels that he had read in his previous life was somewhat pitiful. How could wine-making only be used to earn money?
In the vast China, with five thousand years of wine culture, how broad and profound was it? In Ling Tian's opinion, wine should be a kind of elegant art!
"Mister, since you are so fond of wine, you must have a deep understanding of the world's premium wines. Since you have nothing else to do, why don't you share your opinion? Let this junior, who is also fond of wine, broaden my horizons. " After discussing the proper business, Ling Tian basically already knew what he should know and wanted to know. Thus, he changed the topic without batting an eyelid. His eyes flashed, and it was unknown what new ideas he had.
"Haha, the Green Bamboo Leaf Wine that Mister brewed is naturally a heavenly quality wine. It is enough to 'look down on the current generation'. However, when it comes to 'knowing wine', 'distinguishing wine', 'tasting wine', 'discussing wine', and 'evaluating wine', this old man is not boasting, but in today's world, if you want to find someone who understands wine better than this old man, it may not be the only one, but it is also extremely difficult to find one. Although Mister is able to brew such a heavenly quality wine, but regarding the true essence of wine, I'm afraid that you may not be able to compare to this old man. "
When the topic of 'discussing wine' was brought up, Ye QingChen's expression instantly became reserved. He glanced at Ling Tian, revealing a slightly disdainful expression. It was obvious that he was quite confident in his knowledge of wine, and wanted to use wine to win a round.
Unfortunately, the green clothed fortune teller could boast in front of almost anyone, but today, Ling Tian was the only exception. This was just like how a graduate student could boast in front of any high school, junior high school student, undergraduate student, or transfer student, but definitely not in front of a doctoral student. However, the reason behind this was not known by the green clothed fortune teller!
"That is natural. Senior's decades of experience is vast, and your acquaintances are all over the world. How can this junior compare to you?" Ling Tian seemed to be really flattering him, but when these words entered Ye QingChen's ears, he felt a little uncomfortable. Could it be that this brat is mocking me? Let this old man talk about wine and let this brat be convinced!
"Most people in the world love wine! But those who can understand wine, taste wine, recognize wine, and appreciate wine are few and far between. Don't you see the common folk gulping down wine like whales and cows, the wine cups crisscrossing, all of them are mediocre people! Drinking with such people, vomiting before drinking, it is shameful to be associated with them. If you want to get drunk to your heart's content, you must have a noble heart, like-minded people, and close friends. You don't need many, just two or three people are enough. Only then can you obtain the true essence of wine. Only such a realm can wine be considered a top quality wine drinker! "
Ye QingChen lightly twirled his moustache and shook his head. His eyes looked at Ling Tian with contempt. It was obvious that in the depths of his heart, he had long thought that talking to this little brat about wine was no different from playing the lute to a cow, like a cow chewing on peonies, flirtatious eyes for a blind person to see. When he thought of this, he could not help but feel lonely. He had a deep feeling of 'knowing people all over the world, how many soulmates do you have', 'a song that breaks my heart, where can I find a soulmate in the end of the world'.
"If the heavens did not love wine, the wine star would not be in the heavens. If the earth did not love wine, the earth should not have a wine spring. Since the heavens and earth love wine, loving wine is not shameful to the heavens. Already heard clearly like a saint, returning to the turbid like a sage. Since the sage has already drunk, why should I ask the gods? Three cups lead to the great Dao, one cup leads to nature. But when drunk, don't spread it to those who are awake. " Ling Tian softly recited, as if there was no one around. His voice was filled with a sense of loftiness and natural detachment.
Ye QingChen's originally drunken eyes widened, the mist dissipating as he praised, "Good poem! Good poem! Hahaha, who would have thought that young master would really be this old man's soulmate, sharing the same taste in wine! My path is not lonely anymore! " His expression instantly became fervent, many times more intimate than before. It was as if, whether it was martial arts or internal energy, in Ye QingChen's heart, they were far less important than the path of wine!
At this moment, in Ye QingChen's heart, Ling Tian was no longer a rising star that he admired, but had become Ye QingChen's soulmate! "If the heavens did not love wine, the wine star would not be in the heavens. If the earth did not love wine, the earth should not have a wine spring. Since the heavens and earth love wine, loving wine is not shameful to the heavens. … Three cups lead to the great Dao, one cup leads to nature … Good poem." Ye QingChen's gaze towards Ling Tian was filled with respect. For a person who could write such a poem, how could he not understand wine?! That would be the biggest joke in the world!
This was simply an immortal in wine! Just based on this poem alone, it was enough to make a person who truly loved wine drunk for three days! Especially when the poem implied that between the heavens and earth, only I understand wine, it made Ye QingChen feel as if he was a soulmate.
"Since Mister has been drinking wine for so many years and claims to be the only person in the world who understands wine, then Ling Tian dares to ask Mister, do you know the 'Eight Pleasures of Drinking'?" Ling Tian seemed to be drunk as he looked at Ye QingChen from the corner of his eyes. The arrogance in his eyes seemed to be a hundred times more arrogant than Ye QingChen's earlier arrogance! Little brat, let this young master show you what arrogance is! You dare to discuss wine with the Doctor of Drinking, let this young master shock you!
"Eh, I do not know. Please enlighten me, young master, what are the 'Eight Pleasures of Drinking'? "Looking at Ling Tian's arrogant gaze, Ye QingChen was first angered, then terrified. Eight Pleasures of Drinking? Indeed, he had never heard of it before. To think that he was still bragging about being the only person in the world who understands wine! How shameful! The pleasures of drinking were naturally within it, and who could really explain it clearly?
