Chapter 1752
"Brother Lu Ye, Qianhua Shiqiong, you should know each other, right?"
After pouring out the last drop of sake from the jade jug, Yun Xiao raised his head and said softly to Lu Ye who was still sluggish, and then handed the jade bowl back to Lu Ye together with the jade bowl in his hand.
"Brother Yunxiao, this... this won't work!"
Holding the jade bowl that Yun Xiao forcibly stuffed into his hand, Lu Ye finally came back to his senses in shock, and then shook his head like a rattle, refusing to accept anything.
Lu Ye is not a villain like Yu Xu. Although he is short and shrewd, he acts aboveboard. Of course he picked up the stone, but other than the action of picking up the stone, other things seem to be related to him. He has nothing to do with it.
No matter whether he recognized the stone as Qianhua Shiqiong, or used sake to make the wine appear, Lu Ye's eyes were darkened. It would be difficult for him to accept that Qianhua Shiqiong was found by himself. ashamed.
"Brother Lu Ye thinks I can't find another good wine?"
Yun Xiao made up his mind, and naturally he would not reach out to receive the jade bowl that Lu Ye handed back, and such confident words made many people think about it.
Because of Yun Xiao's age, no one thought that this young man would be his strong competitor. They thought this was just a kid who entered the Zuixian Restaurant by accident. How many kinds of fine wines can he recognize?
But now, when Yun Xiao showed his tricks and found Qianhua Shiqiong, almost the vast majority of people would no longer hold that kind of view, and even a few people showed hostility, and regarded the rough-clothed boy as a The archenemy of this Drunken Immortal Conference.
"Of course, if brother Lu Ye can't even explain the composition and origin of this Qianhua Shiqiong, then I can't help it!"
Seeing that Lu Ye wanted to say more, Yun Xiao was a little impatient. These two words contained a hint of aggressiveness, which made the former's face turn red, as if he was very dissatisfied.
"Qianhua Shiqiong is a winemaker who collects a thousand kinds of flowers in early spring, and then refines them into juice. After three months of cellaring in a secret room, after they are condensed into stones, they are melted in a special way, and finally become liquor!"
As if to show his knowledge of wine, this time Lu Ye did not refuse, and even Yun Xiao couldn't help but nodded slowly when he heard the smooth talk in his mouth.
What Lu Ye said at this moment is indeed the brewing method of Qianhua Shiqiong. This method is slightly different from ordinary fine wine brewing. Even for some ordinary drinkers, even if the stone is in front of them, they may not be able to make it Discover.
In fact, not to mention those ordinary drinkers, didn't these well-known wine masters in Drunken Immortal City not discover the specialness of the stone?
It can also be seen from this that wine like Qianhua Shiqiong is really rare, and only places like Zuixian Restaurant can use it as a part of the competition.
It seems that Lu Ye just couldn't recognize the stone shape of Qianhua Shiqiong. Once someone reminded him, the brewing method of Qianhua Shiqiong that he remembered in his mind would also spew out, and the words were correct.
Of course, at this moment, shopkeeper Zhou did not force Lu Ye to name all the thousand kinds of spring flowers, which would be difficult for others, not to mention that some of the flowers can be changed at will.
"Qianhua Shiqiong, it's accurate!"
Even though he knew that Qianhua Shiqiong was discovered and urged by Yun Xiao, shopkeeper Zhou didn't bother with it at this time, or maybe he had some other purpose, so he just skipped all this and announced that Lu Ye's identification was successful. Pass this first round of competition.
"Lu Ye is lucky!"
Compared to other bystanders who just had a strange heart, Yu Xu, as Lu Ye's old opponent, was not in such a good mood. He heard him speak in a low voice, which contained deep jealousy.
"This kid, there is something interesting!"
On the other hand, Ma Nanfeng, who didn't like Yun Xiao very much before, had a smile on his face at this moment, and he didn't know what he was thinking. It seemed that even the anger deep in his heart had subsided a bit.
But at this moment, it was still the first round of competition in the Drunken Immortal Conference. Although Yun Xiao's performance just now was amazing, it had nothing to do with others. If they couldn't find a good wine, they would face the end of being eliminated.
"Aha, here it is!"
Just as everyone was looking for good wine, a burst of cheers suddenly came, which attracted everyone's attention. From this look, it was obvious that the person who cheered was Yu Xu, who had a rift with Lu Ye.
At this moment, in Yu Xu's hand, he was holding a huge river clam, and it seemed that it had just been fished out of the water, and it was still dripping water drops, reflecting Yu Xu's excited face, it looked like a huge clam. Somewhat weird.
Seeing everyone's eyes cast over, Yu Xu was a little proud, and then he saw that with both hands, he broke the mussel directly from the middle, revealing some pink mussel meat inside.
As early as the moment Yu Xu opened the body of the clam, his other hand took out a jade bowl, and then the clam juice dripping from it dripped into the jade bowl without any mistakes. .
Tick! Tick! Tick!
It didn't take a moment for a small bowl of amber wine to gather in the jade bowl, and the aroma of the wine wafted out of the bowl, making some well-informed people realize what kind of wine it was.
"Clam brewing, using ten-year-old mussels as the brewing place, supplemented by..."
Yu Xu talked eloquently, and this rhetoric also convinced everyone who had guessed just now that it was indeed a rare wine. Although it was not as good as Qianhua Shiqiong, Yu Xu was able to find it. It is a skill.
"Accurate, pass!"
Shopkeeper Zhou listened attentively, seeing that what Yu Xu said was correct, he naturally approved it step by step, but when he just finished speaking, he saw that Yu Xu waved his hand towards him.
"Actually, I was able to discover that this mussel brew was guided by Master Suo Si, so the one who passed this time should be Master Suo Si!"
I have to say that Yu Xu is really a master of flattering. After these words were spoken, many people showed a strange look, secretly thinking that this guy's face is really not ordinary thick.
Earlier in the outer room, Yu Xu had already flattered Ma Nanfeng. If Yun Xiao hadn't entered the inner garden first, the Suo Si lord would undoubtedly be in a good mood.
Thinking that Yu Xu wanted to hit the iron while the iron was hot, and tie himself to the emperor's palace, so that no one would dare to provoke him in this Drunken Immortal City in the future, and this wishful thinking was extremely resounding.
"Yu Xu, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you think Mr. Suo Si is a piece of trash like Lu Ye? You need help from others to find the fine wine in the garden?"
Unexpectedly, just when Yu Xu thought he was flattering very well, and he was about to be subject to the common sense of Mr. Suo Si, he heard a sudden sound of drinking, which made his expression change dramatically.
The person who spoke at this moment was the Great Elder of the Imperial Palace. He followed Ma Nanfeng this time because he had other important matters, but as a drunkard, he also valued this Drunken Fairy Conference very much.
To be able to become a powerful person in the imperial palace of Zuixian City, from Ma Nanfeng down, everyone is an alcoholic who is addicted to alcohol, and this elder is no exception, and he can't understand Yu Xu, who is shameless The flattering look of skin.
You, Yu Xu, are not a cultivator of the Imperial Palace yet, so flattering Mr. Suosi like this, is it possible that you want to join the Imperial Palace one day and take away your position as the Great Elder?
The Great Elder of the Drunken Immortal City's Imperial Palace thought a little too much, and what he said was a fact, which made Ma Nanfeng, who hadn't thought about it at first, turn a little gloomy.
Ma Nanfeng saw the scene of the rough-clothed boy Yun Xiao helping Lu Ye just now, and he was a little disdainful of such an act of relying on outsiders to pass.
Isn't what Yu Xu is doing at this moment saying that the master of his majestic imperial palace needs the kindness and help of others to pass the examination, which is not a small blow to his prestige.
"I...I'm not..."
After being yelled at by the great elder, Yu Xu almost fell to the ground. How could he not know that this time his flattery was on the horse's feet, but he didn't know how to refute it. Could it be that he admitted that it was intentional flattery? ?
"go away!"
Ma Nanfeng, who had a good impression of Yu Xu just now, couldn't help but feel disgusted at this face at the moment. After the four words were yelled out, Yu Xu's neck shrank, and he didn't dare to say anything more.
As if to prove his proficiency in the art of wine, Ma Nanfeng didn't care about Yu Xu's ugly face after he finished his drink, but walked straight towards a big tree.
This is a forest garden with pavilions, terraces and lofts, and there are naturally some lush trees, but the tree Ma Nanfeng chose looks no different from other big trees from the outside.
Due to the status of the director of the imperial palace, many people's eyes were on Ma Nanfeng at this moment, even Yun Xiao was no exception, but the light in his eyes was a bit more intense than others.
"Heh, this Lord Suo Si has really good eyesight!"
A soft sound came from Yun Xiao's mouth, and then everyone saw Ma Nanfeng take out a sharp long knife from Na's waist with a slap, and then slashed towards the trunk of the big tree.
Crack!
Only a soft sound could be heard, how sharp is the weapon that has reached the high level of heaven, and coupled with Ma Nanfeng's cultivation in the late stage of Tongtian Realm, with this knife, the big tree that the two embraced was broken from the middle open.
Crash!
The momentum of the falling of the big tree was so shocking that the cultivators in that direction avoided in a panic, but because of Ma Nanfeng's identity and strength, they all dared not speak out.
And more people focused their eyes on the fracture of the big tree, and saw that there, the remaining section of the wooden stake had a smooth and neat fracture, and there was a concave hole on it, and there was a puddle of milk-like substance inside. .
The fragrance is lingering and slowly diffuses.
