With this idea in mind, Xu Chunniang quickly found the wine shop from last time.
In addition to a shopkeeper in the foundation building stage, there are also two disciples in the Qi training stage, and the clerk from last time was among them.
As soon as he stepped into the wine shop, the waiter recognized Xu Chunniang at a glance and greeted her with a smile.
"Uncle Xu is here. More than a month has passed. Have you brewed any good wine?"
Xu Chunniang coughed lightly and said, "It's not a good wine. I still need you to help me taste it."
The waiter smiled heartily, patted his chest and made a promise.
"Although my cultivation level is average, I do have some research on various spiritual wines. The spiritual wines that have been appraised by me will have no worries about sales."
Hearing what he said, Xu Chunniang felt a little more confident. After following him into the inner room, she took out ten numbered wine gourds and placed them in a row on the table.
Seeing so many wine gourds, the waiter's eyes flashed with surprise, and then turned into admiration.
"As expected of Master Xu, he was able to brew ten kinds of fine wine in less than two months. It seems that I am in for a treat today, haha."
When Xu Chunniang heard this, her face was slightly embarrassed, and she even had the urge to put away all the wine gourds.
However, the waiter had already raised his hand and took the wine gourd numbered one.
He gently opened the lid, and a strong smell of alcohol suddenly wafted out.
“It smells so good!”
The waiter's eyes lit up. After smelling it for a while, he took a wine bottle and poured a full glass into it, savoring it carefully.
The more he tasted it, the brighter his eyes became, and finally he raised the wine bottle and drank the rest of the wine in one gulp.
Not long after he finished the glass of wine, his face turned a little red, and he looked at Xu Chunniang with admiration and shock.
"If I hadn't personally delivered the tools for making wine to you more than a month ago, I wouldn't have believed that this wine was made by someone new! Not only is the wine good, but it is also filled with spiritual energy."
Xu Chunniang smiled modestly, but she had some doubts in her heart.
She has tasted this wine before. Although it has a strong aroma, it is extremely spicy and difficult to enter the throat. Can this be called good?
She looked at the remaining nine gourds, and inexplicably gained a lot of confidence in her praises.
Although the guy only has Qi training skills, he is obviously very professional when it comes to wine.
After tasting the No. 1 wine, he rinsed his mouth with water and cleaned the wine bottle three times.
After the smell completely dissipated, I took the No. 2 wine gourd with great anticipation and carefully poured a glass.
Bringing the wine bottle to his lips, he first sniffed it, then sipped it.
"This wine can still be tasted, but both the aroma and taste are far inferior to No. 1."
Even so, the waiter was not willing to pour out the spirit wine in the bottle and drank it all.
After all, Uncle Xu is a foundation-building monk, and the materials used to make wine are not bad, and he can feel the good aura within them.
Even if the taste is average, it cannot be wasted.
Seeing this scene, Xu Chunniang felt reassured and became more confident in her wine-making skills.
The waiter took the No. 3 gourd, but as soon as he poured out the spirit wine, a strong sour smell appeared.
He was slightly startled, but he didn't say much. It was common for the spirit wine to become sour if too much koji was added to it.
He took a sip lightly, his brows suddenly furrowed, it was more sour than he imagined.
However, feeling Master Xu's expectant gaze on him, the waiter drank the glass of wine forcefully.
So what if it's a little sour, the aura inside is real.
“Although it’s a bit sour, it’s still manageable.”
After saying that, he paused for a moment and opened the No. 4 gourd with expectant eyes. However, after entering the mouth, he could only hold back and not spit it out, which was very hard.
"Maybe Master Xu made a mistake at the moment. I'll try again."
Then he stretched out his hand to No. 5, No. 6...
At first, the waiter could barely drink it, but as the number of spiritual wines he tasted increased, his complexion became a little bitter, and the amount of spiritual wine he drank gradually became less and less.
On the 8th and 9th, he just looked at the color and his face changed when he smelled the smell. He broke into a cold sweat and dared not open his mouth.
Seeing the waiter like this, Xu Chunniang couldn't bear it, and gradually realized her true level.
"This is my first time making wine, so there will inevitably be mistakes. Don't force it."
The waiter breathed a sigh of relief and poured out the wine from the bottle, but insisted, "We agreed to help Uncle Xu taste it, so we can't give up halfway."
After speaking, he gritted his teeth, took the last wine gourd, and poured out the wine.
Lingjiu has a light off-white color and is slightly turbid, but it has its own light aroma of rice and wine, which is mixed just right.
The waiter let out a sigh and placed the wine bottle between his mouth and nose, feeling that the strange taste he had just tasted was dissipated.
Originally, he was determined to open the last wine gourd without risking himself getting poisoned by the wine, but now just by smelling the aroma of this spirit wine, he knew that its taste would not be bad.
The waiter carefully held the wine bottle, took a sip, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Compared with the spicy and strong aroma of No. 1 spirit wine, this No. 10 spirit wine has a different taste, fresh and sweet.
The waiter drank all the wine in the bottle, feeling the spiritual energy flowing through his body with the heat, and couldn't help but let out a wine burp.
His face turned redder and he quickly apologized, "Uncle Xu, I'm sorry, I'm rude!"
"It doesn't matter."
Xu Chunniang shook her head slightly, with a smile in her eyes, "As long as you don't think these spiritual wines are of low quality."
The waiter smiled awkwardly, then straightened his expression.
"Not to mention anything else, this No. 10 Spiritual Wine and No. 10 Spiritual Wine not only taste wonderful, but also have full spiritual energy. They are truly rare and good wines."
"Is this true?"
Xu Chunniang was a little surprised. She didn't know much about spiritual wine. She only tasted the No. 10 spiritual wine and it was very satisfying, but she couldn't get used to the No. 1 spiritual wine.
"Of course it's true. I've spent a lot of time in the winery, and I can always tell the difference between good and bad."
There was a trace of confidence on the waiter's face. He had drunk a lot of spirit wine, and he could tell something good just by looking at his nose.
Xu Chunniang decided in her heart, "You mentioned earlier that if I brewed spiritual wine, I could do some business with the winery. I wonder if this still counts?"
"Of course it counts, but it is not up to me, a young Qi practitioner disciple, to make the final decision on such a big matter. I would like to ask Master Xu to wait a moment and allow me to report it to the shopkeeper."
Not long after the waiter left, the shopkeeper of the foundation building stage stepped into the inner room.
He glanced at the ten wine gourds arranged neatly on the table and smiled slightly.
"I heard that Junior Sister Xu has brewed some spiritual wine recently and wants to do some business with our winery?"
Xu Chunniang followed his gaze to the table and waved her right hand, leaving only two wine gourds on the table.
She poured out two glasses of wine and placed them on the opposite side, "Why don't you try it, shopkeeper?"
The shopkeeper didn't say much. After sitting down and tasting it carefully, he nodded, "It is indeed a good wine. I didn't expect that Junior Sister Xu is not only good at cultivation, but also quite talented in this art of wine making."
