Ye QingChen immediately came to his senses, his old face turning red. He also felt a little embarrassed. His heart had long been hooked by Ling Tian, and at this moment he was indeed a little impatient. He could not help but laugh. "Brother, you are so young, how do you know so much? From what I see, not only do you not look like a 15 or 16 year old youth, you look more like a 60 or 70 year old fox. No … no … I'm afraid you are a 100 year old fox, otherwise how could you have such brilliant achievements? "
The two of them laughed at the same time.
After a short while, Ling Chen brought a few people into the room. Each of them held a few wooden boxes in their hands as they respectfully walked into the room. After placing them down gently, they bowed and silently left the room. Ling Tian instructed, "Chen 'er, go get some real dishes that go with wine."
Ling Chen nodded and walked out.
Ever since the wooden boxes were placed in, Ye QingChen could feel that this small space was suddenly filled with a rich and strange wine fragrance. It was elegant, rich, refined, and intoxicating. It was the fragrance of many famous wines mixed together, but every single one of them was a fragrance that he had never seen or heard of before. Just from the fragrance of these wines, it was already far superior to any of the famous wines he had tasted in the past few decades! Ye QingChen only took a whiff, but he already felt refreshed. Seeing that there were a total of six wooden boxes, he did not need to ask to know that there were six different types of wine, each of them a jar.
Thinking that he would soon be able to taste such extraordinary and unparalleled wine, and there were even six types at once, even the usually calm and steady heart of the green clothed fortune teller, Ye QingChen, could not help but lose his composure. His hands constantly twirled the few strands of short beard under his chin, his eyes had long been intoxicated to the point that they became slits, occasionally revealing a look of anticipation.
The door opened, and Ling Chen walked in with a small jade tray. In the middle of the tray, there was a suet-white jade plate that was neither big nor small. Inside the plate, there were some round things that were only slightly bigger than soybeans. They were light red in color, and there seemed to be more than a hundred of them.
Ye QingChen thought about the phrase 'the real dish that goes well with wine', and could not help but look over curiously. He wanted to see what this young wine saint in front of him was talking about, just what kind of extraordinary dish was it.
After taking a look, Ye QingChen could not help but widen his eyes and open his mouth wide, unable to close it for a long time. After a long while, he looked at Ling Tian with his mouth agape and tongue tied. He pointed at the table with a trembling finger, as if he was stuttering, "Uh … Brother, this … is what you said just now … the real … wine … dish?" His voice was filled with disbelief.
On that small and exquisite suet-white jade plate, quietly placed, were nearly a hundred peanuts!!
Ling Tian smiled and nodded his head. "That's right!" He said these words confidently, as if it was a matter of course.
Ye QingChen was exasperated.
You invited me to your residence, and only treated me to peanuts??! You, you are treating the village chief too lightly, aren't you?
"Old brother, it seems like wine is still … Hahaha … Perhaps I can only say that old brother is good at drinking, but I definitely can't say that you know how to drink." Ling Tian gave a meaningful smile.
"That's true, but I would like to hear the details." Ye QingChen could not help but feel angry and amused at the same time. I have been drinking for my entire life, and you actually dare to say that I don't know how to drink! I would like to hear your reason. Intentionally or unintentionally, he had changed the way he addressed him. It was as if if his answer did not satisfy him, then their relationship as brothers would end here!
"For those who love wine, drinking wine is a different kind of enjoyment. Wine tasting is a kind of supreme realm! Wine contains the sweetness and sourness of life, wine contains the bitterness and spiciness of the world; the myriad tastes of life can be tasted from the different wines of the world! Different people, different temperaments, from the same wine, can taste completely different flavors. Does old brother agree? "Ling Tian spoke frankly with assurance, beginning his long speech.
Ye QingChen frowned and pondered deeply, nodding his head slightly.
"The so-called drinking, drinking, and tasting wine, the drinkers only have one thing in mind, and that is wine, good wine! Any dishes can make the wine lose its original taste, unable to taste the true essence of the wine! But if one only drinks it dry, not only will it harm one's body, it will also cause one's mind to be muddled. Therefore, only a few dishes that do not harm the original taste of the wine are the best dishes to go with wine. And this peanut has no evil taste, its taste is pure and natural, simple and elegant. It is the best of the best. First, it will not harm the wine, and second, it will not harm the body. Hahaha … the reason why this little brother chose this as the best dish to go with wine is because of this! "
Ling Tian said with a smile, but his eyes seemed to have a trace of reminiscence. In the most miserable time of his previous life, his legs were broken, and he was crippled. After being tortured, he was chased out of his family. The endless despair in his heart was in that peanut field. If not for the newly born peanuts, Ling Tian would have starved to death long ago, and he would not have been able to take his revenge! From this point of view, it was understandable that this peanut was the best dish to go with wine in Ling Tian's heart. Although the words he said were somewhat reasonable, how could the only dish in the world that did not harm the wine and the body be limited to peanuts?
If this reasoning was said in his previous life, Ling Tian would have been drowned in banana peels and watermelon peels. But Ling Tian's words were very reasonable to Ye QingChen, who was hearing this reasoning for the first time! He felt that this young man in front of him was truly worthy of being called the Wine Country's Divine Wine Master.
"Brother's words are indeed reasonable. Compared to Brother's knowledge of wine, Elder Brother has really lived for so long in vain. As expected, I'm only a drunkard who only knows how to drink." Ye QingChen sighed with emotion.
"Haha, Elder Brother is too kind." Ling Tian glanced at Ling Chen, who was almost unable to hold back her laughter, and continued, "Since Elder Brother is here today, I specially sent this girl to take out six of the best wines that I have brewed. Tonight, I will admire the moon and wine with Elder Brother and drink until we are drunk."
"Hahaha, just what I wanted!" Ye QingChen laughed heartily. Looking at the six wooden boxes, his mouth watered.
Ling Tian smiled and made a hand gesture. Ling Chen walked over and opened one of the wooden boxes, taking out the first jar of wine.
Although it was his own wine, Ling Tian actually didn't dare neglect it. He carefully received it and lightly slapped off the mud seal. Instantly, an extremely dense fragrance seeped out, and the entire room was instantly filled with the smell of wine, causing one to feel intoxicated. The mouth of the jar tilted slightly, and instantly, a cool, thick, and transparent wine that seemed to be material slowly poured out. In the end, Ling Tian raised the jar higher and higher, and the wine line became thinner and thinner. In the end, only a thread was left, and it still didn't break!
"I named this wine 'Immortal Soul Intoxication.' It is made from the essence of the five grains, dried three times, steamed nine times, and then buried deep underground for three years to remove its impetuous and spicy taste and increase its rich and mellow aura. Only then is this wine formed. Elder Brother, try it. Is it passable?"
Ye QingChen seemed as if he had obtained a precious treasure. His hands that were usually as steady as Mount Tai actually trembled slightly. He lightly picked up the transparent and bright glass cup on the table and carefully brought it to his mouth. He lightly took a small sip, and he instantly felt a strange warm flow down his throat. Along with the warm flow entering his body, his entire body instantly felt comfortable. He only felt that his soul was floating, as if it had ascended to the clouds. He closed his eyes and savored the taste for a long time. Only then did he suddenly open his eyes, and a divine light flashed in his eyes. "Good wine!!! It's really richly endowed by the heavens. It lives up to the name 'Immortal Soul Intoxication'!! "
Ling Tian slightly smiled and waved his hand. Ling Chen immediately stepped forward and took the glass cup in front of Ye QingChen. Ye QingChen looked at Ling Chen in astonishment. He saw Ling Chen place a sparkling and translucent white jade wine cup and a bowl of clear water in front of him. He couldn't help but be at a loss.
Ling Tian at the side had already put down the 'Immortal Soul Intoxication' in his hand and had already changed to another jar. He lightly smiled and said, "Elder Brother, it's not that I'm being pretentious. It's just that we're drinking many good wines at the same time. Every time we drink one, we have to change to another cup. Good wine still needs a famous cup to accompany it, and a famous cup can also enhance the wine's beauty. Elder Brother, please take a sip before you can taste another good wine. Otherwise, when the two wines are mixed together, how can you taste a different kind of delicacy? "
Ye QingChen suddenly understood and said, "That's right, that's right. Indeed, listening to a gentleman's words is better than reading ten years of books. Younger Brother's words have already surpassed my generation by a lot." He picked up the clear water in front of him and carefully took a sip before sitting upright. His expression was solemn.
The wine flowed out from the jar in Ling Tian's hand. It was the same viscous liquid, but it had a different kind of fragrance. This time, the color of the wine was slightly light yellow, like a noble color that didn't belong to the human world. It was full of an illusory feeling.
"This wine, I call it 'Guanghan Fragrance'." Ling Tian lightly said. "It's taken the essence of the golden osmanthus in eight months, accompanied by the essence of the five grains, steamed and brewed nine times, and buried under the osmanthus tree in the golden autumn. It takes at least three years for this wine to be completed. Elder Brother, please drink another cup! "
Ye QingChen had long been shocked to the point that he was speechless. The second cup of wine entered his throat, as if he was drinking nectar. After the cup entered his stomach, Ye QingChen closed his eyes, unwilling to open them for a long time. He used a kind of dream-like voice and said, "This wine also lives up to the name 'Guanghan'. Smelling it is already so clear and noble, drinking it is even more refreshing. After drinking this cup, closing my eyes, I feel as if my body and soul are flying away, as if I'm in the palace of the blue sky and the moon, misty and cold! Younger Brother, you've really made me suffer!
