Chapter 31
31. Brewing wine and fishing for shrimps
Shang Saner asked again: "City God knows the green bull's roots?"
The City God replied: "His family has not been open for a long time. More than 700 years ago, a Taoist saw a fossil of green cow on the edge of Dilong Mountain. He stood there to teach his disciples and worshiped the green cows. Many cultivators have seen it. There is no magical place for the stone cow, but it is indeed a natural stone. It is the most portrait, even a nose ring and a cow stud!"
"The Taoist in his family's founding mountain is not very good. Two ninth-level human immortals have been born under his sect, but they have not been able to become earth immortals. They all have died of life. For more than a hundred years, the highest level in the sect is only at the eighth level. After the Lü family gradually emerged, they took over the Shanye Sect in Dongshan County as a means of use. His family could only obey the orders. The county magistrate sent a son to Qingniu Temple. When the current sect master died, he might take over."
Shang Saner nodded: "No wonder his daughter-in-law was actually the maid of the second lady! Does the City God know Miss Lu Er?"
The City God replied: "Among the young ladies of the county magistrate's office, this second ladies are the most suitable method for practicing his family. He often heard from the servants of the Lu family that our Dongshan County next time may be a female county magistrate!"
The other branch that the celestial immortals passed on again was also practiced by the Lü family.
When the City God mentioned the God of Ears, Shang Saner remembered something and asked: "My City God, may I just stop the detectives from other people's ears and report to our Green Willow City?"
The City God replied: "Of course! But if we act like this, we will have a gap with other families, and it will be difficult for our ears to enter other cities in the future."
Shang Saner waved: "It's irrelevant! In the future, other people's ears and gods drove them out, and only allowed the Longlin City to come in. If the county magistrate turned against me, he would chase them together!"
"become!"
In the concierge, when Chen Wu mentioned his trip to Duobao Pavilion, Shang Saner made five good arrows for Tu Zhuang with sixty leaves. Grandma Chen snorted coldly: "Hmph! After selling five-section shrimp, the little turtle grandson won half of the flowers. What about other things?"
Chen Wu lowered his head: "The rest is to buy some miscellaneous items and food. He went to the city lord's mansion and stone yard. He didn't even take me with me. My son didn't know the truth! Mom, he said he offended the second and second lady of the Lu Lu family. This city is afraid of being unstable, so we."
"Go and rest, your wife is still waiting!"
"oh!"
——
After dawn, Shang Saner called Cao Si and the young people from Tu's family to assign tasks.
Tian Yu took the turn last night, and Shang Saner didn't think about calling him, but he ran over and smiled: "The city lord is back, and he may have something to tell me, and I will go and make up for my sleep later."
For human immortals, it doesn’t matter if they don’t sleep for a few nights, they are naturally grateful for their kindness.
The first thing is to divide the grain. Everyone has settled their homes. If they are not good, they will flock to the city lord's mansion for dinner. The grain will be distributed to the households. The meat will be collected from the city lord's mansion in three days. If the meat is stored in the ice cellar, it will be called to Tu Zhuang to slaughter it.
There is no way to get vegetables, fruits and melons. Everyone needs it. They will go to the outside of Ximen to pick it up. There are still many leftover crops in the fields, and they will also have to plant them themselves in the future.
Cao Si didn't want grain, but Aunt Shang didn't want to open the noodles anyway and wouldn't chase him away. So he just had a big family in the city lord's mansion and didn't have to make it by himself.
He also helped to fetch water, not just for nothing!
The food was distributed, and Tian Yu followed Aunt Shang.
The second pile is to repair the city god mud statue. If you want to hold the black gold and stone slices with your right hand, the easiest way is to fill some clay. Shang Saner did this by himself, and added two people to help. Cao Si replied and added a boy from the Tu family.
The third thing to prepare wine brewing is to clean the wine tanks, pools, steamers, wine tanks, etc. of the Xizheng Street winery. The wine brewing tools are complete, but they must be cleaned before they can be used.
The cleaning work was left to the girls of the Tu family, and a few men went to help carry water.
After the three things are divided, they are all busy.
Outside the City God Temple, Shang Saner was talking to Xi Ni, and Chen Wu came strolling again and asked curiously: "What is the city lord doing?"
In his impression, it was even more strange that he had never seen the city lord work and was working with the mud himself.
Shang Saner whispered to the City God Temple: "Please ask the City God for the sword!"
Chen Wu stepped into the City God Temple, and Cao Si and a boy from the Tu family were busy on the mud statue on the platform, binding his right hand with a thin rope.
"What is this for?"
Cao Si replied to him: "Tie it firmly before you can get the mud in! In the early days, when we were young, we often went to the City God Temple to madly, and we came back to climb the mud statue to play. How could we know that if we really encounter problems, the City God would come out to save him? We can't blame him for it."
Cao Si talked, but Chen Wu's eyes were attracted by the black stone strip.
It looks like an ordinary thing.
He walked closer, well, it was indeed black gold stone!
Let’s see how much black gold it can be. Like the Gubi shrimp, this strange thing is the most common and the worst. It can only be sold for silver, which is not worthy of merit.
Chen Wu rubbed his eyes.
On the front, it seems to be full?
What kind of ordinary stone is there in the world that looks like black gold stone?
Chen Wu couldn't believe it and couldn't help but jump onto the public hall and reach out to touch the black stone strip.
Damn it, not ordinary things!
He thought Cao Si was blocking it, so he gently pulled it away and walked around the mud statue to look behind it.
Also, it's full of black gold!
"Uncle, what are you going to do?"
Cao Si, who was pushed away from his identity as an immortal, asked softly.
Chen Wu didn't bother to answer him, jumped off the platform and ran away.
This loser city lord! You have to tell me to go quickly!
Although the boy from the Tu family is a human immortal, he can't recognize a few strange things. Not to mention Cao Si, he thought it was just a rare black stone strip, which was inexplicably caused by Uncle Chen's actions.
The mud statue is still intact. Just fix the stone strips on your right hand, stuff them in clay and fill them up. It will cool down naturally for a day or two. It is not complicated.
At the winery, Tian Yu, Tu's wife and Aunt Shang also went to help after distributing the food. It took a whole morning to wash it all out.
After lunch, Shang Saner prepared to make wine.
In the past, this winery thought that well water was not good to make wine, so it took mountain spring water from outside the west gate, and the amount of water needed to make wine was too much.
He didn't use the old dog, and took Tian Yu and other young people to fetch water outside the west city.
Cao Si followed him twice, and he didn't want to go again when he saw the people's brothers and sisters, so he just sat in the winery to serve as a commander.
I ran seven or eight times back to get enough water. Because I needed steaming, Tian Yu and others ran to move firewood.
This time, not only Chen Wu, but also his wife and daughter Chen Mei'er, came. Tu Zhuang and Tian Yu's father were also present. They wanted to see Shang Saner make wine.
The city lord's mansion's rotten wine, just about spiritual energy, is really a good wine. Unfortunately, the fishy smell is really strong, I don't know if he may have made good wine.
Tu Zhuang is the most active, he is greedy for wine.
When I was a general, I didn’t like to drink, so I was called a general?
Shang Saner did not need to make wine. When she saw the seasonings she took out from two bags, Tu Zhuang laughed first.
Some strange things are not cheap.
Cao Si was also stunned. He could not recognize the strange things other than the Youbi shrimp, but among those things, only rock candy was cheaper. Other ginseng and large jars of honey were expensive. Tremella was given by the Lord of the Zhou family. The master of the Cao family had to taste it. He once showed it in the family, and Cao Si could recognize it!
After taking out 700 to 80% of the things, Shang Saner began to chase people: "Uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, the exclusive secret recipe is not easy to read down, and you can taste it if you brew it!"
There are three friends on the wine recipe saying "This recipe is finely brewed, and you are not afraid of outsiders' speculation and inference based on the raw materials." As long as you are not watched throughout the brew, you are not afraid of the wine recipe leaking.
More importantly, he had to think about it as he made wine for the first time. He claimed to be fine. If he messed up, wouldn’t his face be lost?
After Tu Zhuang and others left, Shang Saner called out Shuangjian again: "City God, old dog, no one is allowed to peek at and listen here!"
All of them were arranged, and he took out the last few strange things and carefully weighed them one by one with the ordinary things, not daring to make any mistakes.
Then, a fire broke out under the stove in the winery, and some raw materials had to be steamed first, which lasted for a long time.
After steaming, remove the heat and put it in the wine tank in order.
In addition to steaming, some of them need to be chopped and stirred in proportion. After lunch, he had already made it and it would be delivered later.
If you want to make the jade flower dew, the order of the ingredients and the mixing ratio cannot be any error. This is the confidence that the three friends give to their personal disciples and do not worry about others' reproach.
The cost of consumption is not low and the process is complicated, which forces Shang Saner to be careful. He was a little clumsy, so he had to do it slowly.
When I brought the stirred ingredients, the steamer here was just steaming.
This is what I did from noon to dark.
The rest is just waiting for fermentation, and it will be seen how the wine is after a few days.
In the concierge, the black gold stone behind the scenes heard about the winemaking incident. Grandma Chen gritted her teeth again: "Although the little turtle grandson is incompetent, she can't stop her backer and has a strong family!"
I felt aggrieved, thinking that the little turtle grandson could come and have another fight.
However, not only on the day of brewing wine, Shang Saner didn't come for the next five days, and told her to hold on every day.
The outside room is quite deficit. After finishing what you should do on brewing, you can only wait. Of course, the lord of Shangda City has to go fishing for shrimps.
Relying on dog meat and Taoist techniques, I caught a five-section shrimp on the first day of my first look. This is the confidence that Shang Saner dared to keep a loss, but for a long time, things just didn't go as expected.
The next day after brewing, Shang Saner brought a few cakes made by her mother and went to Liujieshan to catch shrimps early in the morning, preparing to spend the whole day.
I only caught two hundred feet, but I didn’t catch one of them all day long, and I cut off a lot of flesh from the old dog.
I went back to the city, went to the winery to see the changes in the wine tanks, and took the fishing hooks I would use tomorrow in the grocery store, and found Cao Si to pull it around, then went back to the city lord's mansion to rest.
The dog I brought with me sooner or later was too cold to cut it, and it was not decent. The next day, thinking that crickets, earthworms and grasshoppers could also be used as bait, he first went outside the west gate to catch some, and then put them on the cake and go to Liujie Mountain.
Cao Si knew that Shang Saner was fishing for shrimp again, but when he got up, Shang Saner had already left the city, and he was the only one, so he didn't dare or wanted to go to Liujieshan again.
Master Cao Si is not short of money now, so he still goes there if he thinks he has a long life. What if he hits the magic smoke?
Shang Saner has a good dog, but he doesn't have one.
Use insects as bait, as long as there are pesticides under the passage, it is a must-eat. However, when lifting the thread on it, loosening the pliers or cutting the thread faster, so you won’t be greedy.
Shang San'er tried for a long time, not to mention five-section shrimps, no matter how many of them were caught, they couldn't catch them.
There was no way, so I had to switch back to a short-term 100-meter line and fish for shrimps below three sections first.
I waited until the evening and finally caught a piece of shrimp, but I could only sell the silver ones, and then peeled off the shell and ate it home.
On the third day, I cut the dog meat and fished for two hundred feet. I was already very anxious. I tried to refine black chess pieces with the old dog, and stopped warming the chessboard. I stared at the passage. After a day, I used up a lot of the hooks, and the old dog was cut off a lot of meat, but I still had no harvest.
Still the next day.
Only then did Shang Saner start to feel annoyed: "Many times, I could have mentioned four-section shrimps. I was greedy and just wanted to catch five-section shrimps. The line was uneven, so I was scared!"
When the rotor lifts the line, maintain a constant speed, and the shrimps below will not react so fiercely.
There are too many shrimps in four sections than shrimps in three sections, and the price difference is also big. I have found out in Longlin City that the Duobao Pavilion in four sections is about twenty leaves. If you can catch two or three, it will be enough to make up for the deficit.
Before going to bed, he sipped the rotten wine, regretting, and thought: "I haven't caught shrimp in the past two days, it's still a trivial matter. I even left my homework. Master was even more annoyed when he saw it!"
If you use the Qianli Eye, your virtual eyes will appear on the target and expand your vision. This is one of the master's best immortal arts. Even if you have refined one eye on the immortal body, you have already shown the magic on the night of taking the disciple. As the only personal master, you are carrying the great cause and effect of defending the city. Shang Saner did not believe that before the three friends left, she did not leave Qianli Eye on her and stared at her own actions.
The habits in the market are difficult to change, and other behaviors must be cautious.
Think about the failure of shrimp fishing in the past few days: "It's like betting when gambling. You can't easily put a single bet on it. If you lose, you won't have a chance to turn the profit. In the eyes of the master, fishing for shrimp is just a trivial matter, and it's still important to practice your homework!"
Thinking of this, I felt better when I went up the mountain. I put the hook into the dog meat and put it down. Before the shrimp was hooked, I started to try to use the old dog to refine the black pieces. I felt bored and changed to the warm chessboard. I was bored and thought about the chess recipe and took a few steps to make chess.
I have become patient, but I still have no gains this day.
The next day, only then can you succeed if you keep your mind, and you can catch two, one four, and one five.
"It can be seen that the former Gongxue Master said it reasonably, hasteness will not be achieved. If everything is done, good things will come naturally!"
But looking at the old dog, he has been cut hard these days. He has to wait at least seven days to recover from the injury before he can go to Liujieshan again.
When the old dog with a bone fork was going down the mountain, Shang Saner whistled.
The Qionghua Brew is about to be brewed and I can go out to sell shrimps again soon. However, the last time I was cheated in Duobao Pavilion and the county magistrate's office was offended. Shang Saner didn't want to go to Longlin City. When entering the east gate, he first asked the City God: "City God, in addition to Duobao Pavilion, there are also merchants who specialize in making life in strange things and treasures?"
The City God replied to him: "There is still a Qizhen Pavilion, which was originally the largest business within six or seven thousand miles of Dilong Mountain. Later, Duobao Pavilion came over. Although his family could not compete for business, there were still many left in the semicolons. Recently, the family is in Wuma City, which is thousands of miles northeast, and does not belong to Dongshan County."
It was more than a thousand miles away, and it was not too far away when riding an old dog. Shang Saner decided to go out and sell shrimps. By the way, he visited the ninth-level immortal of the Masterless Family that the City God mentioned last time, and took out his ability to take out his hob meat. At least he had to move a few to Green Willow City.
I caught two shrimps in one day, which made the haze disappear in the past few days and was in a good mood. When I walked past the door of the concierge, I turned in and then tried to make a fight with the old woman, and showed off the two shrimps I caught.
Chapter completed!
