Chapter 130: Top-Quality Wine
Crush!
A one-sided crushing!
When it appeared on the skyline, there was not much time left for the sentry tower Gu Master to issue a warning.
The attackers were obviously well prepared. The heavily armored beasts, driven by the Gu Master and the Gu Insects, were like meteors streaking across the night sky. They rushed forward in the blink of an eye and then crashed into the earth wall piled outside the camp.
boom--
In an instant, a crack appeared in the seven-foot-thick earthen wall, which penetrated the inside and outside, and the broken soil rolled down one after another.
boom--
There was another loud noise, and then a gap was opened in the garrison camp. The other intruders filed in along the pass and began to show off their talents to the people in the camp who had just woken up from their sleep and were unaware.
Some members of the tribe reacted quickly and launched an attack, intending to repel the invaders.
Unfortunately, this behavior is like a sheep resisting an attack by a tiger or wolf. The weak hoofs of a sheep cannot resist the sharp claws. Failure is almost doomed...
However, he faintly noticed the difference between this group of Gu Masters - they didn't like killing people!
In addition to the fact that Pu had surrounded the camp at the beginning to prevent fish from slipping through the net, the way they treated the tribal Gu masters was also to capture rather than slaughter.
Often with a wave of his sleeves, a ball of white spider silk suddenly emerges, completely covering the target's body, and then becomes restrained and unable to move.
His hand speed is as fast as thunder.
They cooperate with each other tacitly and are well organized. No matter adults or children, no one can escape, especially the Gu Master, who is the top priority.
Except for a very few who fought to the end, after a while, the entire camp gradually fell into silence and turned into the Gu world's version of 'Pansi Cave'.
The invaders began to clean the battlefield and move prisoners, using skillful and experienced methods.
"It turns out to be a slave-catching team!"
Qin Yiguan was relieved.
The slave trade is prevalent in the Northern Plains. Compared with the uneven supply of goods in the slave market, some people prefer to purchase their own goods and occupy the upper reaches of the supply chain. A team of dedicated slave hunters has emerged as the times require.
The nearly costless business and the huge profits that the huge market can bring attract Gu Masters from other nearby areas to go to Beiyuan.
With such a big piece of cake in Beiyuan, who wouldn’t want to come and take a bite?
Seeing the slave-catching team completing the transfer of prisoners one after another, Qin Yiguan also turned and left.
The number of souls of those who actually died in the entire battle was limited, so it was not worth his while to take action.
Mount the Humpling Wolf and set off northward.
In front of me is the endless night, the stars are dim, and behind you there are no more people, and it's dead silence.
Just as a ray of moonlight emerged from the clouds, it illuminated the road ahead.
…
"Selling feed, selling feed, all high quality feed! If you want the horses to run, you have to give them grass!"
"Salt ballast comes from icy salt lake salt ballast! It dissolves in water and tastes great!"
"There is a discount on big-mouthed horses. Buy ten and get a foal for free!"
The loud and loud cries filled Qin Yiguan's ears, making his eardrums hurt.
This is not a bustling alley in Zhongzhou City, but a huge open-air market on the grassland formed by the intersection of several major tribes.
There are no neat streets and lanes in the city to distinguish them. The markets are complicated and chaotic, with a forest of flags. You can open a business if there is a place where you can pitch a tent, and shouting has become one of the few means of publicity.
Qin Yiguan was walking among them, surrounded by people rubbing shoulders and shouting.
There is an endless stream of people going to the blacksmith shop to order stirrups and saddles, and there are also women who are choosing gold and silver jewelry and jewelry necklaces.
Among them, the brocade silk and satin from Zhongzhou are more precious than the common leather robes in Beiyuan and are the most sought-after.
I walked around and stopped in front of a stall.
Pottery pots of various sizes are stacked randomly, and the surface of the huge earth-yellow pottery altar reflects bright light. The stall also sells water bags made of leather in various shapes.
There were also many people standing outside the stall, peering in eagerly.
A horse-head-shaped copper pipe as thick as a thumb is inserted into the pottery altar, and a stream of water flows out from the horse-head mouth, exuding a mellow fragrance. It is poured into the water bag. When it is full, the shopkeeper hands it back.
"Guest, your wine!"
The Gu Master took it and took a swig eagerly on the spot.
"Okay, your wine is the best!"
"Thank you, sir! Please walk slowly!" The middle-aged Gu Master put one hand on his chest in greeting.
After the group of people left, Qin Yiguan stepped forward slowly.
"Distinguished guest, what would you like to order?" The middle-aged Gu master saw that Qin Yiguan was a new face and looked young, so he immediately started selling enthusiastically, "I have mellow mare's kumiss and strong Shao Dao wine here. , and ice wine with a salty taste..."
After the middle-aged Gu Master rambled on for a while, Qin Yiguan put away his scanning eyes and said simply, "I want the best wine you have here!"
“The best wine?!”
The middle-aged Gu Master looked up and down and judged that the other party was not joking.
"Just take it out!" Qin Yiguan looked serious and spoke firmly.
The middle-aged Gu Master hesitated for a moment, until Qin Yiguan took out a thousand yuan stones as collateral, and then solemnly picked up a thin rope from a giant altar two people tall and filled with fine wine, tied it around his neck, and tied his ears A small porcelain altar with a round bottom.
Wine within wine?
The middle-aged Gu master was seen holding the bottom of the porcelain altar firmly with one hand, and slowly stroking it like a newborn baby with the other hand, with half of his side exposed, allowing Qin Yiguan to only glimpse the blue patterns on the porcelain altar.
"This wine is called Jiu Chu'er. It needs to be soaked in the best wine all the time. It can't be taken out for more than a hundred breaths at a time! Otherwise, all the previous efforts will be wasted and the energy will be lost."
"Isn't it the best wine?" Qin Yiguan heard the storage method of the wine, looked up at the huge wine jar, and frowned.
"Best wine?!" The middle-aged Gu Master seemed to have heard some dangerous talk, his eyebrows were drooping, and he said with regret, "You are dreaming! I have only raised this young wine for more than ten years, and the taste is unique. If I raise it for another twenty years, it can become a top-grade wine! Want to cultivate the best wine? Humph! Wait for another ten rounds of the Royal Court Competition!"
Ten rounds?
This round!
Qin Yiguan did not delve into this issue, but asked where to buy the best wine, which resulted in a burst of contempt from the middle-aged Gu Master.
"Do you know how precious the best wine is?"
"I know it!"
The so-called best wine is the top wine in the world, which is much better than the corn wine that Qin Yiguan praised in his previous life.
The earliest records of top-quality wines came from the first classic of the Gu world - the human ancestor, and they were all brewed by wild beasts or bred by nature.
Since the birth of the human race, through learning from nature and wild beasts, research and study, the brewing technology of the human race has made great progress, and the number of top-quality wines is much greater than in ancient times.
But among mortal Gu masters, top-quality wines are still a rare delicacy.
The reason why Qin Yiguan wants to seek top-quality wines is not simply to satisfy his appetite, but to practice his plan...
Once successful, it will be a real harvest!
