"Here comes the third update, asking for monthly votes."
She remembered that there was a jar of Du Kang wine hidden at home.
The Du Kang wine was treated as a treasure by her father. He hid it well and only when close friends came to visit, he would take it out and share a cup with them. Moreover, it was only one cup. He didn't drink more than one cup. He didn't drink more than one cup at a time. It was conceivable that the Du Kang wine had a very high position in her father's heart.
At that time, Cai Yan was also the most curious. Once, when her father went out to visit friends, she secretly stole the hidden wine and drank a cup. Even that cup left her with an endless aftertaste. There seemed to be a strange power in the wine that could make people forget all their troubles and worries. She was drunk and passed out involuntarily. When she woke up, she was already lying on the bed.
Her father didn't say much, but she couldn't find where the Du Kang wine was hidden anymore.
That taste was unforgettable. It was a strange feeling of forgetting all the worries and troubles. The wonderful feeling was engraved on the soul, making it unforgettable. Moreover, it was said that the Du Kang wine was not brewed by Du Kang himself. It was brewed by later generations with the secret recipe of Du Kang wine. It was so rare that even the secret recipe disappeared.
It was completely lost.
Now she saw the real Du Kang appear in front of her. That feeling was also indescribable.
They walked quickly to the backyard and came to the Jiu Quan.
"Pool, spring, this is the Jiu Quan. The legendary Jiu Quan, the Jiu Quan, is as famous as the legendary Jiu Guo. There really is such a Jiu Quan. I didn't expect to find it here after searching for it for decades. Sure enough, God still cares for me. "
At the first sight of the Jiu Quan, Du Kang immediately guessed that it was the legendary Jiu Quan from the fragrance of the spring. The supreme treasure for brewing wine.
When he brewed Du Kang wine, he found that if he wanted to improve the Du Kang wine, he must find a way to find a better brewing material. At that time, he heard that there was a spring in the deep mountains that was like wine. It was called Jiu Quan. There were fruits growing on trees that looked like wine jars. That was Jiu Guo. Even if it was not brewed, it could be drunk as good wine.
It was not inferior to any fine wine.
At that time, in order to improve his wine-making skills, Du Kang began to embark on the road of searching for wine fruits.
Unfortunately, after a few decades, he had gained nothing.
He didn't expect to meet Jiuquan here. This unexpected surprise caused Du Kang to be filled with boundless joy and excitement.
"If Elder Du is willing to stay in Xuanhuang Castle, then the spring water in this wine spring can be freely used by Elder Du to brew a more perfect Du Kang Wine," Yi Tianxing said decisively.
He knew very well how tempting a wine spring was to a skilled brewer. There was absolutely no one who could resist it. If Du Kang were to stay in Xuanhuang Castle, the benefits would be too great.
"Stay, I want to stay. There's a Jiu Quan here. I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to use the water from the Jiu Quan to brew my Du Kang wine. Let Du Kang Wine truly transform into Du Kang Immortal Brew. "
Du Kang's face revealed a look of utmost sincerity. It was a kind of yearning, a kind of devotion to brewing wine. This was the goal he had been pursuing his whole life.
With Jiuquan here, he wouldn't leave even if he was beaten to death.
"Yi Tianxing, thank you Elder Du for joining my Xuanhuang Castle. I plan to set up a God of Wine Temple for you so that you can concentrate on brewing wine. What do you think? "Yi Tianxing said with a smile.
"No need, no need. I just want to brew wine quietly. There's no need to make a big fuss. I don't know if there's a place for me in the Castellan Palace." Du Kang shook his head and said. He rejected without hesitation.
"Of course, the Castellan Palace is very big and there aren't many people living here. There are plenty of rooms. It would be best if you could stay here. Not only is it safe here, but no one will disturb your brewing wine. You can completely concentrate on brewing new Du Kang Wine here. "
Yi Tianxing was even more overjoyed.
It would be best if he could stay in the Castellan Palace.
"Castellan, the Du Kang Immortal Brew that I want to brew is not ordinary Du Kang Wine. The materials needed are more precious. The grains needed to brew the wine need five kinds of spiritual grains, as well as various spiritual herbs, ginseng, lingzhi, etc. The materials needed to brew the wine need to be collected by the Castellan Palace. Most importantly, to brew the spiritual wine, I need the best royal jelly. Rootless water, thousand-year stalactite milk. Whether I can brew it successfully is still unknown. Castellan, are you sure you want me to try brewing wine? "
Du Kang immediately listed a large number of heavenly treasures. Any one of them was incomparably precious. But here, he listed more than ten of them. It had to be said that it was shocking.
"Elder Du, please rest assured. I will prepare the materials you need as soon as possible. However, the Immortal Brew is not urgent. Before I find all the materials, I can try brewing other grades of Du Kang Wine. I believe that even if it's an ordinary ingredient, under the brewing of the Wine Spring's water, it can also transform into the best wine. "
Yi Tianxing said with a smile. His expression showed that he would agree to all of Du Kang's requests.
Although these materials were precious, their value was not worth mentioning when compared to Du Kang.
"Well, I will first study the Wine Spring here. I have been looking for this kind of strange thing for a lifetime." Du Kang's eyes were completely fixed on the Wine Spring, unblinking. Obviously, all his attention was on it. It was impossible for him to leave now.
He decided to stay here for the rest of the day.
He didn't care about anything else, as long as they didn't disturb him studying the Wine Spring.
"My Lord, I didn't expect to see the legendary Wine Ancestor this time. Du Kang is a person that countless scholars have yearned for for a lifetime. The Du Kang Wine brewed by him is really wonderful. "
Huang Chengyan said with a sigh. Walking together in the garden, he said slowly.
"I never would have guessed that a single wine spring would draw him out. It seems there are many eccentric people hiding among the commoners. Although he might not be the number one brewer in the Eternal Lands, he's definitely one of the best. Given enough time, it's not impossible for him to produce world-shaking immortal wine." That's right, "Yang Qi said. This is a great talent. If he stays in the Xuanhuang City, who knows how many benefits he will bring? "
Yi Tianxing said meaningfully.
"My Lord, you mean …" Huang Chengyan's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he said in a low voice, "What you value is not only his wine-making skills, but also Du Kang's high status among the people of the world and even among the scholars."
"Elder Huang knows me well."
Yi Tianxing nodded and said with a smile: "Du Kang is not an ordinary person. His status has been invisibly respected to a very high level. Du Kang Wine has a higher status in the eyes of scholars and even all kinds of capable people. A mouthful of Du Kang Wine can make countless geniuses flock to it. In the world, there are many people who like wine. For example, Li Bai is a wine person. There are also Du Fu and so on. There are very few bad drinkers. "
Take Li Bai for example. He was famous for his wine.
At that time, there was a winemaker named Ji Sou.
His ancestral home was in the northern suburbs of Xuan City. He was good at making good wine, and his wine was called "Old Spring".
During the reign of Tang Tianbao, every time Li Bai came to Xuancheng, he would drink at Ji Sou's house. Ji Sou was able to be courteous to the wise, and he was not stingy with his beauty. The two became close friends. After Ji Sou, an old winemaker in Xuancheng, died of illness, the great poet Li Bai wrote a mourning poem, "Crying for Ji Sou, an old winemaker in Xuancheng".
The poem said: "Ji Sou, in the Yellow Spring, should still brew old spring wine. If there is no Li Bai on the night platform, who will drink wine with? " It was read by the world to this day.
During Ji Sou's lifetime, Li Bai traveled to Jingting Mountain in Xuancheng seven times. Every time he visited this place, he would drink Ji Sou's old spring wine.
A good wine, for such a literati, was also an immeasurable attraction. Especially Li Bai, who once said that if he could taste Du Kang, he would rather die drunk in front of the wine jar. Unfortunately, he never drank Du Kang Wine in his life.
Even if he drank it, it was not the real Du Kang Wine.
If these wine lovers knew that there was Du Kang in Xuanhuang Castle, then there was no doubt that the attraction of Xuanhuang Castle to those people would increase in an instant, skyrocketing to an unimaginable level.
No one knew how many talents could be attracted by this.
Those who loved wine would definitely flock to it. The benefits that this would bring were immeasurable.
"My lord, you mean that we should quietly release the news that Du Kang is in Xuanhuang Castle." Huang Chengyan's eyes lit up and said quickly.
Not to mention anything else, just for him, if he heard that Du Kang appeared somewhere at some time, he would definitely find it hard to bear and would definitely rush over in person. The reputation of Du Kang Wine was really too big.
It could even be said that this was the first recorded famous wine in the history of mankind.
"No need, we just need to guide them secretly. With the current strength of our Xuanhuang Castle, we are fully qualified to have a top talent like Du Kang. There are many things that we don't need to be too cautious about. "
Yi Tianxing smiled indifferently and said.
There was no need to be polite, and there was no need to ignore it. What was needed was to be natural. Only in this way could the existence of Du Kang become a huge bargaining chip to attract talents. To be honest, Yi Tianxing also wanted to taste Du Kang Wine in person. Was it really as magical as the legend said? For the first wine.
Huang Chengyan left the Castellan Residence not long after.
The recruitment hall had continuously attracted top talents, which made him even more motivated. He did not feel tired at all when doing things. In fact, it was more because he thought that Du Kang Wine might be sold in the city in the future.
"Husband, are you going to go into seclusion next?"
Cai Yan looked at Yi Tianxing and asked.
"Yes, Mao Sui's cultivation of the Crossing Art is very good. This time, he provoked the Iron Hoof Tribe and the Blood Claw Tribe perfectly. His method was not profound, but he could achieve his goal. This was the wisest choice. There was no need to doubt what he did. Going on a diplomatic mission could buy enough time for the Xuanhuang City. During this period of time, once the trade market is opened, there will be a huge development. "
