wine color

Chapter 18

In the seasons of late spring and early summer, the hills outside Gaoyi City are full of green leaves and flowers, and the dazzling sunlight in the morning shines through the branches and leaves and dapples the ground.Nan Qingxiao prefers this kind of real nature to the well-ordered brick and stone courtyards, so in such a free environment, when surrounded by pleasing plants and animals, Nan Qingxiao's mood will also change accordingly. It became brighter, and even the footsteps became much lighter.

Uncle Luo hadn't seen Nan Qingxiao in such a good mood for six years, and couldn't help but relax, the frost and snow on his face melted, and he looked at Nan Qingxiao's brisk back with a smile in his eyes.

Nan Mingxuan had never seen such a happy Nan Qingxiao. Looking around, he couldn't find anything to be happy about. The rugged mountain road under his feet was enough to make him upset. I really don't know how Nan Qingxiao was. Xiao is happy about something.

Suddenly, a fresh fragrance rushed into his nostrils, Nan Qingxiao paused, sniffed and smelled around.

"Qingxiao?" Nan Qingxiao's series of actions made Uncle Luo confused. Following Nan Qingxiao's movement of shaking his head, he looked around, but saw nothing. Just as he was about to ask again, he caught sight of it out of the corner of his eye. A touch of white.Uncle Luo was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to look over again, and was delighted when he saw it, "You dog nose."

"Didn't you all smell it?" Turning to look at Luo Shushi and Nan Mingxuan, Nan Qingxiao's expression was rather puzzled.

"What? Smell what?" Nan Mingxuan blinked, then looked around, with a confused look on his face.

"Isn't the wine general's nose very good?" Luo Shushi raised his eyebrows and looked at Nan Mingxuan, and really began to doubt whether Nan Mingxuan could become a wine general, especially with Nan Qingxiao as a comparison. No matter what, he felt that Nan Mingxuan was not This material.

"No, this needs to be practiced." What has Nanfeng taught Nanmingxuan all these years?Why do you think Nan Mingxuan knows everything but knows nothing?

"What are you... talking about?" Poor Nan Mingxuan still didn't understand what the two people in front of him were talking about.

Uncle Luo seemed to have sighed, then raised his feet and turned to somewhere.

"Mingxuan, from tomorrow onwards, you will go back to the workshop in the middle of every hour, and you will not come out until noon." Nan Qingxiao finished speaking with a smile, and followed behind Uncle Luo.

"Eh? From mao to noon? Why?" Nan Mingxuan scratched his head and howled as he followed behind Nan Qingxiao.From mao to noon, that's three hours. Why did he stay in the workshop for three hours?

"Don't ask, just go." Nan Mingxuan had to learn more than he imagined.But after thinking about it, I feel that this is all for granted. In this world, I am afraid that there are not many parents who will train him like his mother?Recalling the day when she was a child learning how to make wine with her mother, Nan Qingxiao admired herself a little.

"Then...will that brother go?" Didn't you agree to teach him?Now that the food has arrived, why did he suddenly let him stay in the workshop?

"Yes." Although not every day.

As soon as they spoke, the three of them had already entered the densely-vegetated place in the mountain forest. The blooming mountain flowers cuddled one after another, and the breeze blew by, and the fragrance wafted thousands of miles away. Attracting Nan Qingxiao, it is the aroma of white orchids.

Nan Qingxiao stepped forward, raised her head, and stretched out her hand to lightly touch a bunch of white orchids hanging on the branch. The milky white flowers were held in the palm of her hand, and the petals trembled slightly to make the fragrance more intense.

"It's already this time." Nan Mingxuan was also taken aback when he saw the tree-filled Bailan.Had Nan's family been in chaos for half a year before they knew it?At this time last year, Dad took them up the mountain to enjoy the flowers, but now the white orchids are blooming again, but the laughter is gone.Nan Mingxuan looked up at the delicate flowers full of trees, smiling nostalgicly and sadly.

But in Uncle Luo's eyes, there was only the person under the tree with a smile like the warm sun, even if it was just the broken hair blown by the wind, in Uncle Luo's eyes, it was more beautiful than the white orchid tree.

"Mother hates white orchids the most." Nan Qingxiao said suddenly, pulling back the two people's thoughts, "Because Bailan is Mrs. Nan's favorite." As for how Mother knew what Mrs. Nan liked, Nan Qingxiao Never asked.

Nan Mingxuan stared blankly at Nan Qingxiao's back, not knowing what to say.

"Mingxuan, what did you think of when you saw this white orchid?" Nan Qingxiao broke off a branch of white orchid, tore off a petal, stared at it, stuffed it into her mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.

"Qingxiao?" Uncle Luo frowned and walked to Nan Qingxiao.Is Qingxiao hungry?But I can't eat flowers even if I'm hungry, and I'm not a spirit in the mountains, can eating flowers fill my stomach?

"Me? I... I thought of the scene where the family came to enjoy the flowers last year. Unfortunately, I'm afraid there will never be such an opportunity again." As he said, Nan Mingxuan sniffed, as if the sadness just now hadn't faded away. It was brought up again before it could dissipate.

"Appreciating flowers with your family? It must be very happy." Nan Qingxiao has never had such an experience. The first time he admired flowers was with Uncle Luo, and what he admired was Bailan. He ran, and then lay under the tree and looked at the flowers on the tree and smiled silly. At that time, the two of them ate almost all the flowers on the mountain, and it was funny to think about it.

"In the future, I will accompany you." Uncle Luo didn't think about those things when he was a child at this time, but felt distressed when he heard Nan Qingxiao's yearning and regret, and then reached out to hold Nan Qingxiao's hand.

Looking at Uncle Luo's serious and firm eyes, Nan Qingxiao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, and shook his head with a smile.

"Don't believe me?" When Nan Qingxiao shook his head, Uncle Luo frowned.What expression is that?If you want to laugh, it's good to be funny, otherwise don't laugh, what do you want to laugh uglier than crying?

"I believe it." Nan Qingxiao never doubted every word that Luo Shushi said, but sometimes, some things were difficult to do.

Uncle Luo pursed his lips, tightened Nan Qingxiao's hand, and said nothing.He knew what Nan Qingxiao meant, so he didn't explain, whether it could be done, we'll just have to wait and see in the future.

Nan Mingxuan was almost in a cold sweat watching from the sidelines.What are these two people doing?There is no moonlight before the flowers. If you want to talk about love, can you two choose a time when no outsiders are present?Two days ago, Nan Qingxiao hinted that he didn't need to prepare a dowry, but now he is hinting that he should prepare a dowry as soon as possible?

Just when Nan Mingxuan was hesitating whether to speak to break the sweet and sad atmosphere, Nan Qingxiao spoke again.

"Mingxuan, use brandy to make a bar."

"Huh? Use brandy? How do you make it?" Use flowers to make wine?This is unheard of.

"There is always a way." This is the difference between Huangzhong wine making and Suining country.The wine making in Huangzhong is always guided by Chu Shi’s family. The wine making method of Chu Shi’s family is the Huangzhong wine making method, and the people of Chu Shi’s family will always try to add every edible animal and plant they know to the wine to brew new varieties of wine. , and Suining country's winemaking industry has developed for many years, and now there are only wines brewed with grain as raw materials.But he couldn't directly hand over Master Chu's family's wine-making method to Nan Mingxuan. Master Chu's skills were too special and highly recognizable. If it was known that the descendants of the Nan family had learned the wine-making method of Huangzhong, the Nan family would really face disaster.

There is always a way?It's easy to say, they don't have that much time to try.Nan Mingxuan frowned, expressing his disapproval.

"The method is all thought up by people. Since someone could think of brewing wine from grain at the beginning, why can't you think of a way to make flower wine?"

"I...I..." Yeah, why?Why can others always come up with new methods, but he can only use what others have used?Why is this?

"Since Mingxuan already has an idea about the new wine, let's go back."

Does anyone have an idea for the new wine?Who here has an idea for new wine? !Nan Mingxuan couldn't figure it out, why did Nan Qingxiao keep pushing the matter of Xinjiu on him?Obviously, as long as he goes to battle in person, this problem will be solved, why does he have to make such a big circle?Nan Mingxuan followed Luo Shushi and Nan Qingxiao down the mountain, many questions swirled in his mind, and finally got messed up and tied into a knot.

"Brewing wine for me, will it cause trouble?" Nan Mingxuan couldn't think of it, which doesn't mean that Luo Shushi couldn't think of it either. He didn't think much about it, but Nan Qingxiao's several prevarications made him see some clues. Guessed Nan Qingxiao's scruples.

"It's not the kind of trouble that the third master thought. The third master has also been in contact with Huangzhong people, so he should know their temperament. If they know that someone in Suining country uses Huangzhong's method to make wine, they will definitely come to them, especially People from Master Chu’s family..."

"Master Chu's family is looking for you?" Uncle Luo looked at Nan Qingxiao worriedly.

"The law is not passed on to outsiders, that's all." Not only Master Chu's family, but all the seven departments in Huangzhong are looking for him, but they all use Master Chu's family as the main force.

At the beginning, Niang escaped from Huangzhong because she disapproved of their practice of "not spreading the law to outsiders". But in the end, Niang didn't have the opportunity to pass Huangzhong's wine making method to Suining country.In fact, Niang originally wanted to pass on the Huangzhong wine-making method to Nanfeng, but later felt that Nanfeng's cowardice was not suitable for being the first person in Suining to learn the Huangzhong wine-making method and pass it on. After that, And because too many opportunities were missed due to Nanfeng and the Nan family's affairs, this method can only be taught to him, hoping that one day the Huangzhong wine making method can be passed on to Huangzhong.But this matter is easier said than done. Mr. Chu’s family is powerful, and there are seven departments in Huangzhong, and he is only one person. The reason why he can still stay in Gaoyi City safely is because no one in Mr. Chu’s family would think that he returned to the Nan family. , now is not the time to be in the limelight, so be careful.

"En, I see." Tianji had to block all news about Qingxiao.
