Chapter 34 The World's No. 1 Brewer
"I understand, it turns out that this is what the great priest meant!"
General Niu Gui showed a look of surprise, and looked at his ghost master, but he had to admit that if he really followed the arrangement of the high priest, it was indeed very possible to do that.
Once successful, let alone the New Year Festival, there is no need to worry even if it is the New Year Festival in the past ten years or so.
"Um?"
I don't know why Niu Gui is looking at her like this. Zhao Youqian is still a little confused now. However, Isayama Yomi has not guessed the meaning of her high priest at first, but when Niu Gui General showed surprise, she also looked at the area. After the moonlight, I thought of an ancient legend.
"Could it be that Lord Ushiuki is talking about...Emperor's Ooze??"
A strange term with an ancient meaning appeared in Zhao Youqian's ears, which also surprised him slightly.
Emperor's liquid is not a simple term, it represents the most famous thing among the essence of heaven and earth, the moonlight of Gengshen night!
There is a record in Yaozhou's Qi Shu "Zi Buyu": "On the night of Gengshen, in the moonlight, there is an emperor's fluid, which is shaped like countless olives, and thousands of golden threads, running through it, hanging down to the world. When plants and trees receive its essence, they can become monsters." '.
Among the hundreds of ghosts, many became extraordinary beings because of the Imperial Flow Serum that they encountered only once in sixty years or even longer.
But no matter how you calculate this year, it is not the time of Gengshen!
"Of course it's not Emperor Flow!"
General Niu Gui showed a helpless smile.
"If this kind of essence of heaven and earth appears, at least Long Chef will be able to participate in the fight. Even if the ghost master now has the help of hundreds of ghosts, it will be difficult to get involved, not to mention that there will be at least five years until Gengshen. .”
"What I'm talking about is, Baigui Yuehua!"
Another unfamiliar word appeared, making Zhao Youqian look confused. Although he knew that the world of food had extraordinary power, he did not expect that the ingredients seemed to be related to extraordinary power.
According to Niu Gui's meaning, Emperor Liujian is also an ingredient that many dragon chefs compete for, so what kind of 'Hundred Ghost Moon Flower' is it talking about?
"As we all know, the Emperor's Liquid is not only the essence of heaven and earth that enlightens us, but it is also a top-quality ingredient for brewing. Every time the Emperor's Liquid is used, 30% of it will be intercepted, allowing all countries to compete with each other to brew the divine wine, Immortal Tea. The best wine in the world."
"Even in the unknown area, there was only one dream ingredient 'Rainbow Fruit' that suddenly appeared. It once had wine-making potential comparable to that of Emperor Liuzu. However, because of the difficulty of finding rainbow fruits, there is still no one that can truly match the rainbow. Fruit recipe!"
General Ushiki introduced the history of Emperor Ryujin, and also introduced what the Hyakki Moonflower he mentioned was.
"But not all Gengshen years can get the Emperor's Serum. If the weather delays the time, you have to wait for another sixty years, so later, extraordinary beings joined forces with Chef Long to come up with a workaround. "
"Use extraordinary creatures from all over the world to gather the power of moonlight to replace the imperial slurry and become the main ingredient for brewing wine!"
"And the one who did this thing to Yingying is... the Hundred Demons!"
Unexpectedly, he could hear such a secret secret, and Zhao Youqian's expression showed a hint of surprise.
"So, Dongying has had problems in the cooking industry in recent years. Even the seeds of the Heavenly King are rare. Is it also related to the problems caused by the Hundred Demons and the inability to brew the divine wine Immortal Tea?"
Somewhat surprised by Zhao Youqian's sharp eyes and rich association, General Niu Gui nodded.
"It does have something to do with it. The most important thing about divine wine and immortal tea is not as a kind of food, but as a sacrifice. It sublimates the essence of heaven and earth in a more mysterious way and returns it to heaven and earth, so as to give back to the world of fertility."
"There are certainly many geniuses in Dongying in recent years, but there are very few people who can reach the level of unparalleled talents. In the past ten years, there have been almost no generations. This has something to do with the lack of something during the sacrifice."
"But the Heavenly King level has little to do with these. Senzaemon-sama's problem is not that..."
After getting the information he wanted, Zhao Youqian finally understood why Sengen Shrine wanted him to come here.
The high priest must have already thought about it, and asked him to offer the sacred wine and immortal tea as a tribute to the annual festival...
As long as this sacrifice appears, no matter who the opponent is at the New Year Festival, they will only suffer a heavy defeat.
No wonder the high priest asked Isayama Huangquan to let Zhao Youqian come here early to get used to it. Brewing wine is not a job that can be learned in a short while.
From fermentation to distillation alone, it must be carried out at least two or three times, and each of these two or three times requires at least ten days.
In addition, after the wine is brewed, it still needs to be matured and stored, which will take at least several weeks, preferably more than half a year. At this time, it is already too late to call Zhao Yougan to prepare.
However, since it is a sacred wine, it naturally has a reason to be called a sacred wine. According to General Ushiki, as long as you can learn the recipe, you can actually use it as a sacrifice after making it. You can make it on the spot, and you can completely ignore the fermentation step.
But Zhao Youqian still feels a lot of pressure. After all, according to his idea, for this kind of sacrificial competition, if he directly uses Shangqing tofu or the Huainan tofu that he has been studying to crack recently, he can already beat the crowd. Now he actually returned it. He got a job making wine...
"This is also a kind of learning. Ghost Master, you also need to have this experience."
Seeing Zhao Youqian's reluctance, General Niu Gui still tried to persuade him.
"Since the great priest is interested in this matter, the most troublesome brewing recipe should have been obtained. The rest depends on whether you can succeed, Ghost Master!"
The recipe of Shenjiu Immortal Tea really impressed Zhao Youqian. If he could see a recipe of this level, it would also expand Zhao Youqian's horizons, but he hesitated for a while.
Zhao Youqian nodded and agreed to make wine with Baigui Yuehua.
However, it is obviously too late to do the Hundred Ghost Moon Flower tonight, and the Hundred Ghosts have not all arrived, so we can only wait until tomorrow night.
Watching the exchange between Zhao Youqian and General Ushiki, Isayama Yomi didn't bother her, but her footsteps unconsciously moved to a short pit surrounded by fine sand. You could still vaguely see the pit, and a small hole appeared from time to time. wisps of smoke.
The hundred ghosts who were drinking rich pig offal also noticed something, and their cheers gradually became quieter.
Zhao Youqian, who was about to say something, found that the surrounding environment suddenly became quiet, and he smelled the ripe smell of certain ingredients as soon as he moved his nose.
He turned around helplessly and complained.
"You guys are such dog-nosed people!"
Who knew that there really was a dog god among the hundreds of ghosts, and he started barking "woof, woof, woof", making Zhao Youqian dumbfounded.
