Chapter 45: Three Chen and Three Stuffed Osmanthus Immortals

The time came as promised, Gu Yi didn't even participate in the training, and rushed back to the yard with Yang Luan and Lin Zi.

As early as the night before, Gu Yi had asked Gu Yunsong to organize his parents to take out the wine buried in the ground and then use ice cubes to cool it down.

Lower the temperature of the wine to condense the wine vapor and thicken the wine.

When Gu Yi returned to the yard, he found that a lot of people had gathered in the yard. He was a direct descendant of the Gu family. Several uncles and uncles who were at home were already there. It was rare for his aunt and uncle to go out to work.

.

Yang Shan had also arrived early and was holding Gu Yi's tea and drinking it slowly.

In the Gu family lineage, because of the existence of Gu Yunsong, basically everyone is a good drinker and has a good capacity for drinking. Gu Yi has also inherited the inheritance. He has been an astonishing drinker since he was a child, and he also helps a lot at work.

Gu Yi took a look and saw that this time all the good wine drinkers of the Gu family were here, and this trip was probably going to be a family banquet. As Gu Yi's teacher, Yang Shan's status as the master of the Lord of Heaven and Earth, of course, was not surprising at all.

There shouldn't have been so many people, but the last time the brew was opened, some people had already tasted it. It is Gu Yunsong's best Wuliangshao, and it absorbs the essence and fragrance of osmanthus, leaving a mouthful of fragrance, which is really unforgettable

.

Seeing that masters of traditional Chinese culture like Yang Shan can't help but think about it, you know the taste of this wine.

If this is passed down within the Gu family, who else doesn't know about it?

Knowing that the forum will be held for the second time this year, several brothers have been telling their grandfathers since the beginning of the year that they must inform themselves when the forum is held, otherwise the brotherhood will be lost.

Having said this, what else can be done?

The Gu family has never been stingy. Whether it's Gu Yunsong's generation or Gu Jinping's generation, they are all extremely united. Moreover, now that the conditions are better, they are no longer embarrassed, so there is this scene, and the courtyard is very lively.

.

Gu Yunsong is preparing the yellow mud for sealing the altar. The mud was dug from the mountain by Gu Yi yesterday. It is rich in minerals and has good viscosity. On one side are broken straws and straw straws. He adds them to the mud and beats them vigorously. There is a cotton thread next to it.

and lotus leaves are also needed when sealing the altar.

Several people, uncles and grandfathers, were discussing something around the two jars of chilled osmanthus wine.

"Gu boy, are you sure you can do this? With so many brothers and uncles here, it would be a big loss if we fail and lose face!" Gu Yunsong led the pot of mud, put it aside, and closed the lid.

Keeping the water from evaporating, he quietly walked to Gu Yi and confirmed again.

"Don't worry, I promise there will be no problem." What else could he say at this time? Gu Yi could only forcefully assure him.

But for this kind of thing, before the jar is opened, who can guarantee that it will be successful if the wine inside is obtained.

"Gu Yi, it's almost time." At this time, Yang Shan, who had been standing quietly by the door, said quietly.

Yang Shan had been at Gu Yi's house since lunch, and had been keeping an eye on Gu Jinnan. The two brothers Gu Jinping were taking their time from digging the soil to setting up the altar to refrigeration in wooden barrels.

At any rate, he had also seen Gu Yi sealing the altar for the first time, so he probably still remembered some steps and important links, and reminded him of them in a timely manner.

"Oh." Gu Yi responded, then turned and yelled at Gu Jinnan, who was chatting happily in the distance.

"Dad, stop talking and help me lift the jar."

Gu Jinnan didn't hear it at first, but he didn't react until he was patted by Zhou Xiaoying, and then dragged Gu Jinping towards the kitchen.

After a while, the two of them staggered out carrying yesterday's big pottery jar.

With a muffled "dong" sound, it was placed on the lawn.

"You brat, command your father, if you don't come up with something good, I won't teach you a lesson." Gu Jinnan said fiercely.

After all, with so many people watching, he was afraid of being embarrassed and boasting too much.

"Get out of the way!" Gu Yi was too lazy to pay attention to his father and stepped forward to push Gu Jinnan away.

The large pottery altar has white gauze exposed at the corners, and the thick pine wood cover firmly presses the mouth of the altar, as if it is suppressing some shocking evil, and traces of bewitching fragrance overflows from it, intoxicating the heart and spleen.

Gu Yi put his hands on the pine wood cover, and a pair of eyes focused on it. Gu Yi suddenly looked up in the expectant eyes of everyone.

The wooden cover was blown away, and a rich fragrance spread in the courtyard, blowing in the wind. All the people in the courtyard couldn't help but take a deep breath, trying to retain this taste as much as possible.

The words 'I will kill hundreds of flowers after they bloom', and 'the fragrance that soars to the sky and penetrates Chang'an'. They are not as shocking as the fragrance of the sweet-scented osmanthus at this moment. Gu Yi also took two deep breaths.

Fortunately, I have experienced it twice before, so I am not as exaggerated as most people.

After just a slight daze, Gu Yi reacted, put on gloves made of gauze with both hands, and began to put his hands into the altar to stir. Suddenly, a stronger floral fragrance burst out, which lingered for a long time.

"Dad, stop being in a daze and bring the jar up." Gu Yi shouted to Gu Jinnan, who was also in a daze.

"Oh, okay." This sound woke up Gu Jinnan and Gu Jinping.

The two people quickly brought up the two wine jars that had been prepared in advance. These were the jars that had contained the osmanthus wine two years ago. After turning the jars over, they were washed and stored.

Now when I take it out again, I can vaguely smell the aroma of wine in the wine jar.

Lifting the gauze thrown on top, Gu Yi skillfully placed the turned osmanthus flowers into the bottom of the altar one by one. The golden-red osmanthus was soaked in sugar and restored to its original color.

Regardless of whether they were adults or children, everyone in the yard was quietly watching Gu Yi operate step by step. The fragrance just now gave everyone a bit of confidence in this so-called three-year-old and three-wine osmanthus.

God, it can happen!

"Dad, open the altar!" Gu Yi, who had packed the osmanthus flowers, shouted to the two brothers Gu Jinnan who were standing by.

"Okay!" Gu Jinnan didn't talk nonsense this time and responded cheerfully.

Rub your palms together and make a fist, pat several times along the mouth of the altar, pat the original sealing mud loose and gently remove it.

The expected fragrance did not appear, and everyone frowned.

"Did it fail?"

Gu Yi approached the mouth of the altar and took a deep breath.

A cold and fragrant fragrance spread into the nose and went straight to the forehead.

"It's done!" A hint of surprise appeared on Gu Yi's face.

"Bring the wine over here, grandpa! Help quickly." Gu Yi turned to gesture to Gu Yunsong.

In fact, Gu Yunsong, who had been paying attention to Gu Yi's face, had already made a judgment when he saw the happy look on Gu Yi's face. At this time, Gu Yi shouted and immediately rushed to greet him.

"I'm coming too." Yang Shan, who had been waiting for a long time, came forward unwillingly.

The two brothers Gu Jinnan and Gu Jinping brought the wine jar closer to them. The other wine jar was covered with a long gauze that hung down to the bottom of the jar.

The wine jar tilted slightly, and a stream of wine slowly flowed out, slowly fell into the gauze, and slowly flowed along the gauze to the bottom of the jar.

The speed of pouring the wine should not be too fast to avoid stirring up the odor of the wine. The best state is to transfer from one place to another in a relatively stable manner.

One hundred kilograms of wine poured to the ground a little slowly. Gu Yunsong held a bamboo wine spoon and took the sweet-scented osmanthus wine from the flowing wine spring one by one, and poured it gently into the glass bottle on the side.

The clear wine is like amber nectar, like gold liquid, as bright as a golden rainbow, flowing in a transparent glass bottle, with a few fine osmanthus flowers floating in it.

After taking only a pound of wine from a jar, Gu Yunsong stopped.

Until the wine in the wine jar is gone, filter out the sweet-scented osmanthus in the gauze, squeeze out the wine and "seal the jar!"

Gu Yi immediately handed the lotus leaf in his hand to Gu Yunsong's hand. The latter took the lotus leaf and skillfully stacked it layer by layer, pressed it tightly and tied it tightly with cotton thread. He took out the thick sealing mud that he had just mixed.

The mouth of the altar was sealed.

The same goes for another jar of wine.

It will take several days to seal the wine jar with mud and place it under the eaves to dry out the moisture.

At this time, the temperature of the osmanthus wine that had been left to dry began to rise without the suppression of ice cubes, and a strong aroma of osmanthus wine began to permeate the air. It was like a wild beast that had broken through the seal, madly invading everyone present.

Olfactory nerve.

Everyone at the scene is considered a wine shop gourmet. As soon as they smell the aroma of the wine, they can tell that this wine is definitely the best of the best.

Each one of them could not help but feel their Adam's apple rolling and hesitated to speak.

"Get ready, get ready for dinner." Gu Yunsong glanced at his brothers and said with a smile.

The dinner was very rich, and people from the mountains would bring some mountain goods with them when visiting each other, not to mention that this was a group of old drunkards who came here with the purpose of drinking.

The dinner table was filled with all kinds of delicacies and game. Two kilograms of sweet-scented osmanthus wine was the star, constantly releasing the fragrance. In addition, two bottles of the best Wuliang wine were taken from the wine cellar to prepare for fear of not being enough.

Cups of osmanthus wine were distributed into the glasses in front of everyone. Snow-white porcelain, golden jade-like wine, with a few osmanthus flowers floating on it, filled the room with fragrance.

Take a sip into the throat, it is warm and soft, and a warmth slowly rises until the belly. The thick cinnamon fragrance seems to rise and spread from the chest and abdomen.

"The second brew is already top quality, but the third brew is unknown!" an old man at the table sighed.

A small jade-colored ceramic gourd stood quietly on the desk, with moonlight shining on it. The room was quiet, the window was open, and the boy had already climbed up the eaves.
