Chapter 56 Drunken Day
Chapter 56 Drunken Day
After ruling out the first possibility, Haitang could only attribute it to the second possibility.
"Judging from his cultivation level, he should be close to breaking through to the Innate Realm. Although he has some strength, he is still within the control of the Number One Manor in the World, so I'm not worried about him causing any trouble. Let's just leave him be for now."
Once he passes the test and brews fine wine, he can send a jar to his godfather.
Haitang smiled slightly and immediately instructed someone to send over the materials Gu Qianbei had requested.
At this moment, a large amount of materials have been delivered to the newly built brewing room of the Number One Manor Under Heaven.
"Master Gu, everything you requested has been delivered. Is there anything else you require?"
"That's all."
"Okay. Master Gu, you can contact me if you need anything. My name is Wang Shijiu, and I am the steward in charge of all of Master Gu's affairs at the Number One Manor in the World."
Gu Qianbei nodded slightly, and then Wang Shijiu left with the movers.
"The ingredients are all ready; we can begin brewing this Thousand-Day Intoxication."
According to the "In Search of the Supernatural" records, "Thousand-Day Intoxication" was brewed by Di Xi, and drinking it could make one sleep for a thousand days.
Among the thousands of wines, the Thousand-Day Intoxication is also a very special one.
It has no other fancy functions, only the most distinctive feature of wine: intoxication!
It is said that just smelling the aroma of alcohol can make you drunk for a day, and drinking a cup can make you drunk for three days.
If it is brewed and buried underground for three years, then just smelling the aroma of the wine can make you drunk for three months, and drinking a cup can make you drunk for three years!
This is the origin of the name "Thousand-Day Intoxication".
It uses Zhongshan glutinous millet as its base, aged yeast as its soul, and Zhao Mu Lingquan (a type of spring water) as its marrow. It is slowly steamed over a low flame, mixed with fine yeast, and then placed in a pottery jar and sealed in a dark cellar.
After three days of initial brewing, the aroma of the wine gradually develops. Then, after being sealed for another thirty days, the wine is steeped in the wine day and night, allowing the fragrance of grains, herbs, and the essence of spring water to blend together layer by layer.
At this point, the wine can be opened and taken out, but it has not yet reached its peak.
If it can be buried for three years, its quality can surpass that of spirit wine!
Gu Qianbei immediately got to work, melting all the ingredients together in one furnace to start brewing Thousand Days Intoxication.
An hour later, Haitang arrived at the winery.
Gu Qianbei was sitting in a rocking chair in front of the brewery, basking in the sun. A straw fan covered his face, and he was breathing evenly, seemingly having fallen asleep.
"Brother Gu seems to be enjoying himself quite a bit."
When Haitang saw this, she couldn't help but smile.
This was the first time she had ever seen someone so lazy.
Hearing the sound, Gu Qianbei put away the fan in front of her and looked up at Haitang.
"Oh, it's the owner. The sun is shining brightly right now; it would be nice to bask in it. If the owner is interested, we can join in."
Gu Qianbei pointed to the rocking chair next to him and invited him.
Haitang didn't refuse and sat down next to her.
The slightly swaying chair gave her a long-lost sense of comfort.
interesting.
"Brother Gu certainly knows how to enjoy life."
"Life is short, only a few decades. If we don't make ourselves comfortable, wouldn't it be a waste of our time on this earth?"
Besides, wasn't my purpose in selling all my skills to the manor lord simply for wealth and status?
Gu Qianbei's words were so direct that Haitang was stunned.
"Brother Gu is truly straightforward."
Haitang gave an awkward smile.
"I simply don't want to hide it. Besides, there's no need for me to hide anything from the Master. With the capabilities of the Number One Manor in the World, they must have already investigated me thoroughly, right?"
Gu Qianbei looked at Haitang and smiled.
"Brother Gu, you seem to know a lot about the number one manor in the world?"
Haitang frowned.
The Number One Manor under Heaven has only been established for a short time, so it shouldn't have much of a reputation in the martial arts world.
"I wouldn't say I understand it, but I have this."
Gu Qianbei pointed to his head and continued, "They're using the guise of recruiting the best talents in the world, and their location is in the capital. Even if they have the backing of the richest man in the country, Wan Sanqian, they probably wouldn't be able to succeed without some kind of government backing. Am I right, Master Shangguan?"
Seeing Gu Qianbei's smiling face, Haitang knew she couldn't refute him.
Because such reasoning is logical.
"Brother Gu is indeed a smart man."
"So, I just want to come here and make a living with my skills. And incidentally, brew the wine I want to drink, it's that simple."
Gu Qianbei lay back in the chair, gently waving a straw fan, causing the chair to sway slightly, as if she had completely relaxed again.
Seeing this, Haitang felt a pang of envy.
From a young age, she was strictly disciplined by her adoptive father, the Iron-Blooded Marquis, and had very few opportunities to be lazy in her life.
She couldn't relax whenever she thought about her godfather's expectations.
To be as carefree as Gu Qianbei is probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Brother Gu's idea is truly enviable. I wonder if the brewing went smoothly today?"
Haitang cut to the chase and asked directly.
"I must say, the things the estate owner provided are much more complete than what I had in my previous small brewing workshop. If all goes well, the first batch of Thousand-Day Wine will be ready to be opened in thirty-three days."
"A Thousand-Day Intoxication? Is that the name of this wine? Could it be the wine created by Di Xi, a winemaker from the Eastern Han Dynasty?"
Haitang exclaimed in surprise.
"That's right. I came across this recipe by chance, but I haven't been able to gather all the ingredients, so I haven't had the chance to brew it."
This opportunity is only possible thanks to the help of your esteemed organization.
Once it's brewed, I can give you two jars so you can experience the charm of this wine firsthand.
I will bury the rest and reopen them in three years.
Only then was the wine truly complete.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Haitang smiled faintly.
She came here with the intention of asking for wine, and now that Gu Qianbei has said so himself, it saves her the trouble of asking.
At the same time, she could tell that Gu Qianbei had guessed her purpose for coming, which was why she acted this way.
In their short time together, she developed quite a bit of affection for Gu Qianbei.
Such a young man is a rare find.
"Master, once I obtain the token of the world's number one brewer, can I request the world's number one brewery to find brewing ingredients for me?"
After exchanging pleasantries, Gu Qianbei stated her request.
"That's natural. We will try our best to meet the reasonable requests of everyone who enters the number one manor in the world."
Providing brewing materials for a winemaker like Brother Gu is a perfectly reasonable request.
"That's good."
Hearing this, Gu Qianbei was completely relieved.
Haitang is a genuine person, and the promises she makes are never false.
"Brother Gu, do you have many wines you'd like to brew?"
Haitang looked on with curiosity.
"Indeed. These are all exceptional wines, no less than those brewed by sunflowers facing the sun."
Gu Qianbei smiled mysteriously, his eyes seemingly sparkling.
That was the light of love and anticipation, tinged with a touch of fervor.
"Oh? Hearing you say that, Brother Gu, I'm even more looking forward to it."
Sunflower-inspired wine is already a rare find, so if Gu Qianbei can brew even better wine, then it is truly something to look forward to.
In this world of martial arts, fine wine is more attractive to experts than gold and silver.
Putting everything else aside, a pot of good wine is enough to motivate Zhang Jinjiu to dedicate himself to one thing.
However, there are quite a few people in the martial arts world who are fond of wine, just like Zhang Jinjiu.
If the number one winery in the world had a wide variety of fine wines, it would be even more attractive to extraordinary people.
It should be noted that although Zhang Jinjiu has joined the number one manor in the world, he will not make a move easily without sufficient benefits.
This is why so many people are willing to join the number one manor in the world.
They receive generous basic benefits without doing anything, and enjoy the protection of the number one manor in the world. If they are required to do something, the number one manor in the world will pay them extra.
Who wouldn't love an organization like this?
Anyway, Gu Qianbei, who was just an ordinary working person in her previous life, was in love with him terribly.
This isn't a recruitment drive; it's a recruitment drive for assassins.
