"Who was that old man just now? Why did he just walk into the recruitment hall? Could he be a great Confucian scholar or a craftsman with special skills? However, he was dressed very ordinary. Who is he?"
"From the way he walked into the recruitment hall and his expression, I could tell that he was calm and confident. He is definitely not an ordinary person. Who doesn't know that the recruitment hall has high standards? Even if a scholar or Elementary Scholar were to enter, he would not be able to obtain a high position easily. He could only start from the basics."
"This old man is not young. If he is really knowledgeable, then he might really be a great Confucian scholar. Once he passes the test, he will be entrusted with heavy responsibilities and get a high position in Xuanhuang Castle. "
"It is said that a successor of the School of Vertical and Horizontal entered the recruitment hall. Once he passed the test, he was entrusted with heavy responsibilities and was put in an important position. With talent, no matter where he goes, he will be put in an important position. "
Outside the recruitment hall, when people saw the old man stride into the hall, they couldn't help but start to discuss curiously.
As they discussed, they realized that not many people knew this old man. He seemed a little mysterious. It was either that he didn't show off in the past or that he was a new resident who had recently settled in Xuanhuang Castle.
The old man only entered for a short while.
He saw Huang Chengyan walking out with a smile and talking to the old man. They walked hand in hand and both of them seemed to be very enthusiastic when they talked. Huang Chengyan couldn't help but be enthusiastic. This old man's background was really too big. He was so big that even he didn't dare to be careless. He was even more shocked than when he saw Mao Sui.
When he heard that he wanted to go to the Castellan Manor to meet the Castellan, he immediately agreed without hesitation.
With Huang Chengyan leading the way, naturally, there was no obstruction.
Yi Tianxing happened to be in the Castellan Manor.
Not long after Ye Zhiqiu left.
Looking at the Jiuquan, he found a place with Cai Yan and personally placed the mouth of the spring. The mouth of the spring naturally formed a pool in the Castellan Manor. In the pool, the mouth of the spring naturally started to gather the essence of heaven and earth. Spring water came out bit by bit, giving off a strange wine fragrance. However, this wine fragrance was completely restrained by an invisible force in a certain area.
So that the aroma of the wine could not completely dissipate.
He tried his best to ensure that the news about Jiuquan was always controlled within a certain area.
"Old Huang has brought another old man over. Moreover, he came from the recruitment hall. It seems that our Xuanhuang Castle will have another great talent." Yi Tianxing smiled as he looked at the Jiuquan in front of him.
If it wasn't a true top talent, Huang Chengyan wouldn't have been so eager to bring him to him. Just like Mao Sui from before, only such a talent could receive extraordinary treatment.
This was the treatment that came with their abilities.
Others could not be envious.
As long as you're talented, Yi Tianxing can meet you immediately.
Soon, Yi Tianxing saw Huang Chengyan and the old man in the pavilion in the backyard.
There was nothing special about the old man's appearance. There was only one thing that was very obvious, and that was his nose. It was a brandy nose with a trace of red light. However, it did not seem to be an ordinary brandy nose. The red light on it could be hidden. Once it was hidden, it was no different from a normal nose.
This was already a kind of ability.
At this moment, the old man's nose appeared dark red. With a slight twitch, the smell that had long disappeared in the air was still clearly present in his perception.
"Yes, it's the aroma of the wine. It's that strange aroma. It's really here. This is the source. What is it? Tell me quickly, what is the treasure in the wine? As long as I can have it, I can brew the most perfect spiritual wine and celestial brew. "
After smelling the remaining aroma in the air, the old man immediately rushed in front of Yi Tianxing with an excited expression. He grabbed his arm and shouted loudly.
His expression was abnormally excited, and he almost spat out saliva.
"You can smell the aroma of the wine. You're a winemaker."
Yi Tianxing frowned slightly. The aroma of the wine in the air had disappeared at least for more than a quarter of an hour. Under such circumstances, ordinary cultivators could not smell it, or at least he could not feel it. However, the old man could. Obviously, his nose was extraordinary. Coupled with his sensitivity to wine, he could already guess that the old man's identity was related to winemaking.
"My Lord, this is the grandmaster of winemaking. He's the legendary inventor of wine, Mr. Du Kang."
Huang Chengyan introduced.
"What? You're Du Kang?"
This sentence made Yi Tianxing stunned on the spot, and he felt a wave of disbelief in his heart.
Everyone in Huaxia knew who Du Kang was.
He was the legendary ancestor of winemaking.
According to legend, during the era of the ancient Yellow Emperor, there was a person called Du Kang who was in charge of managing food.
At that time, with the development of agriculture, there was a bumper harvest of food every year. However, there was too much food to eat, so they could only store it in the cave. The cave was dark and damp, and after a long time, all the food would rot. Seeing this, Du Kang began to think hard about how to store food.
One day, Du Kang came to the forest for a walk and found a few withered trees, leaving only thick and empty tree trunks. Du Kang had an idea and poured all the food into the dry tree trunks. After a while, Du Kang came to the forest to check the food. He was surprised to find that in front of the withered tree where the food was stored, there were some wild boars, goats, and rabbits lying in disorder. They were motionless as if they were dead. He quickly went closer to see what was going on. It turned out that there were a few cracks on the tree trunk that stored the food, and water was seeping out from inside. It seemed that these animals had lapped up the water before lying down.
But what kind of water was this? Du Kang leaned over and smelled it, only to feel a refreshing fragrance. He could not help but take a few sips of this strong perfume, and suddenly felt refreshed. Later, Du Kang brought the strong perfume home and invited everyone to taste it. Everyone took a sip and said that it tasted good. In this way, wine gradually became popular among the people, and Du Kang was also respectfully called the "God of Wine".
This inadvertent action produced a unique and wonderful product like wine.
Moreover, Du Kang was not satisfied because of this.
Instead, he began to study hard. The five grains could be used to make wine, and the taste was excellent. If all kinds of rare fruits and unique elixirs were added. Would it be able to make the brewed wine taste better? Or would it even have a unique effect? Could it make the taste even better?
Therefore, under Du Kang's careful research, he accumulated failure after failure. Finally, he brewed an even more magical wine. After drinking it, the taste was really wonderful, and it had the wonderful power to make people forget their worries.
This wine was named after Du Kang, Du Kang wine.
Especially Du Kang wine. In the history of China, there were all kinds of legends about it.
In history, Du Kang wine had the reputation of "tribute wine" and "immortal wine".
It had formed an indissoluble bond with the literati of the past. They often used poems to praise the wine, using the wine to brew poems. The poems increased the taste of the wine, and the wine assisted the mood of the poem.
Cao Cao, the Emperor of Wei, wrote a poem: "Generous, unforgettable sorrow; how to solve the sorrow? Only Du Kang. "
The Sage of Poetry, Du Fu, wrote: "Du Kang often persuades, Zhang Li does not ask for anything else."
Su Shi, the Great Poet, left behind a drunken remark: "Now that the East Slope is full of treasures, there is no need to worship Du Kang."
Ruan Ji, one of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove", wrote: "Du Kang is not happy with the official career, but only values Du Kang."
These deeds had made the status and height of Du Kang wine in the wine industry reach the apex. In the world, there was no wine that could reach the height of Du Kang wine. This was not a joke.
But later, the recipe of Du Kang wine was completely lost. Let Du Kang wine gradually disappear in history.
Even if a jar appeared occasionally, it could make people fight for it, and it was worth thousands of gold.
Now, what appeared was not the recipe of Du Kang wine, but a living Du Kang, the legendary god of wine, the wine immortal. How could this not make Yi Tianxing feel shocked and stunned for a while.
"It turns out to be Mr. Du. Yi Tianxing has been looking forward to the Du Kang wine you brewed for a long time. Unfortunately, I have only heard of Du Kang wine but could not taste it. I thought I would never have a chance to taste Du Kang wine in this life. Now, Mr. Du is here, you can definitely fulfill my wish. "
Yi Tianxing's face showed a strong joy. He said with a smile.
He felt that the old man in front of him was so pleasing to the eye.
"Du Kang is just a winemaker, and Du Kang wine has an undeserved reputation. In the world, there are countless winemakers who are better than me. How dare I be arrogant. The way of winemaking, be careful of sincerity. Only with sincerity can one brew the best wine. "
Du Kang shook his head and said.
This was the way of sincerity. If you don't put your heart into it, how can you make the most perfect wine? That was just an extravagant hope. The secret of his winemaking was only one word, and that was, heart.
"Heart is precisely the most difficult point. Any skill, as long as you are willing to study it, you will eventually achieve something. However, this is also related to talent. There is no doubt that Mr. Du has this kind of talent in wine. "
Yi Tianxing did not hide a kind of admiration for Du Kang's words.
No matter what, this Du Kang was the top existence among winemakers. His talent was rare in the world. He was fated with wine.
"Previously, I smelled a strange wine fragrance on Mr. Ye. It was like wine but not wine, but it was natural. Now, I smell this fragrance again in the City Lord's Mansion. This is definitely a treasure in the way of wine. I don't know if the City Lord can tell me what kind of mysterious thing it is. "
Du Kang felt his whole heart itching. He was already very sure that the mysterious thing in the wine was definitely in the City Lord's Mansion.
"Mr. Du, please come with me."
Yi Tianxing nodded. He did not expect the existence of the wine spring to be able to reveal the traces of the wine ancestor hidden in the city. Moreover, he did not hesitate to enter the recruitment hall just to see what the mysterious thing in the wine was.
