Chapter 102: 'Calamity Water' Emerges from the Cave

  In the "Shi Tan Ming Quan" hall of Ting Feng Xiao Zhu, several of us sat around the table, staring at the exquisite small dishes on the table and drooling, while waiting for Zhou Yi's so-called "surprise".

  Even the most gossip-loving 'Flower' and Song Hong didn't have the mood to ask Li Shaofen about the matter of Baiquan Valley at this time.

  Ever since Li Shaofen returned from Baiquan Valley, people's gazes at Li Shaofen and Zhou Yi were filled with hidden stories, each one wanting to speak but hesitating like a spring maiden. Especially when it came to that 'magical' ancient pine tree that saved lives, they couldn't help but feel infinite yearning.

  If it were someone else, they would think that Zhou Yi and Li Shaofen were protected by the gods to fall into a deep valley without any harm; The villagers thought this was the blessing of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Dr. Zhou is a good person... However, in Zhu Xiaohua's view, Lao San is now more mysterious, not to mention that night suddenly burst out super speed, can directly knock down Bolt, is this the potential explosion of human body mystery?

  The more knowledgeable a person is, the easier it is for them to get flustered in certain situations. After all, we're all medical school graduates, so of course we've heard cases of potential explosions, such as a frail mother who can explode with potential and directly flip over a several-ton truck to save her child!

  So when they examine the I Ching with a professional eye, it's not hard to conclude that this guy must have burst out of potential at that time... As soon as they think of this, the eyes of several brothers will become strange, and it should be said that the one who bursts out of potential is Lao Wu, what about Lao San? Interfering with his domestic politics?

  But eating from others' mouths and taking from others' hands makes one weak. Living in Zhou Yi's place for this period of time, enjoying good food and drink, playing, fishing, walking dogs, and flirting with village girls - this life is not as good as being an immortal, but it's better than being a god; so no one wants to break the pot and ask questions, haven't you seen that Old Five is still sitting stably on the fishing platform? The emperor isn't in a hurry, why are you, eunuch, in such a rush?

  Moreover, everyone was already hooked by Zhou Yi's suspense. The brothers had been staying in Yunshui Village for nearly half a month, and their vacation time was almost up; except for Zuo Zhu's longer vacation, Li Shaofen still needed to continue her treatment and wouldn't be leaving for the time being, while Zhu Xiaohua and the others would have to scatter like birds and beasts. Today's gathering was actually a farewell dinner prepared by Zhou Yi for them, and it was said that there were unexpected surprises waiting for everyone, so they didn't have the mood to think about that matter in Baiquan Valley anymore.

  "Is dinner ready?"

  The pleasant sound of the pot lid in the kitchen suddenly stopped, and then a wave of fragrance wafted out; 'Flower' reacted the fastest, immediately excitedly waving her small fist.

  Zhou Yi carried a large lacquer tray, holding eight dishes and walked over, smiling: "Hey, you guys try it, they're all your favorites."

  Zhu Xiaohua and the others took a glance, they were all dishes that several brothers often ate and loved to eat during this period. Mainly based on Lu cuisine, also came with two Cantonese dishes 'crispy skin chicken' and 'raw steamed lobster', which were the three beauties' favorite dishes.

  Every dish on this plate and the six cold dishes on the table are all from Zhou Yi's hands. If they were placed in a star-rated restaurant, each dish would make foodies marvel and compose poems; although these men and women who eat frequently have gotten used to Zhou Yi's craftsmanship, they still drool with desire and can't get enough of it no matter how much they eat.

  But today, everyone didn't move their chopsticks. Zhu Xiaohua looked at Zhou Yi and said: "Old Three, stop pretending to be mysterious, what's this unexpected surprise you mentioned? These dishes are good, but they can't be considered a surprise."

  "Heh, I knew you were thinking about it. Hmm... the time is almost right too, Xiao Hua come with me, I won't be able to carry it by myself." Zhou Yi said with a smile as he glanced at his watch.

  "What's this thing?"

  Zhu Xiaohua smiled slyly: "It can't be gold bricks or bars, right? If I were to say it, Old Three, you shouldn't be too polite either, we're all buddies..."

  "Hehe, it's not gold bricks or bars, I still want those things..."

  Zhou Yi rolled his eyes and said, "It's that wine I told you about last time. It should be ready to come out of the cellar today."

  "What's this? Wine brewed with 'Green Jade Fragrance'!"

  Whoosh!

  All of you stood up, I thought it would take another half month for the wine to be out of the cellar, but it's actually out today? This is really a fucking surprise!

  "Haha, lucky for you guys. I previously underestimated the effect of the wine cellar, didn't expect this wine to be ready half a month early. Let's go, follow me to get the wine."

  "I'm going too, let's all go and see how much stock Old Three has, it's time to overthrow the local tyrants and redistribute the land."

  At this moment, all of my brothers have transformed into proletarian revolutionaries, even 'Flower' and Song Hong's eyes are shining brightly. The dishes cooked by Zhou Yi are already enough to bring disaster to the country and its people, how can this wine not provoke heaven's wrath and people's resentment?

  Get some more and I'll send some to your dad later...

  The wine cellar of Zhou Yi is located on the north side of Fuxi Mountain, which was discovered by Jin Yangyang when he was exploring the mountain and dividing up the land. The entrance to the cave is not large, but it is very deep and wide, and with a little renovation, it is very suitable for storing rice wine.

  After the renovation of Zhouyi, another layer of 'cellar mud' was added to the wine cellar, which was specially purchased from the system, called '弹指百年'. It means that with this 'cellar mud', the time for brewing wine can be shortened.

  Rice wine, like white wine, also requires a certain period of cellar aging. What about the thirty-year-old champion red and sixty-year-old daughter red... Behind these lies the blood and tears of many bachelors who have spent their lives brewing this wine just for its age. That's why people say that old wine is good, and true friends are old friends.

  The wine cellar of Zhou Yi had this kind of cellar mud, which was like the "time-space hut" in science fiction movies. Even if it was only stored for three months, it would have a thirty-year effect. Add to that his special use of "green and fragrant accumulated" gunpowder and top-notch brewing techniques, and this batch of wine would not be released unless it was crazy, and once it was released, it would drive all the wine ghosts in the world crazy. Compared to this, the Tian Shang brand pickled radish was really a small dish... As soon as I walked into the wine cellar, I was greeted by a faint scent of wine that seeped into my heart and lungs. The fragrance was light but not thick, yet it seemed to penetrate deep into every cell of my body, making me feel relaxed all over, just like after taking a bath and doing some stretching exercises. Several beauties were yawning one after another, their sleepy eyes making their husbands look at them with some infatuation... "Good guy, this hasn't even been opened yet. If it's opened, I estimate it would be comparable to chemical weapons..."

  Zhu Xiaohua and the others looked at the hundreds of wine jars neatly arranged in the cellar, some of them were stunned. Lao San is not showing off, but he's really capable!

  "Whoa, I'm rich this time!"

  Zhu Xiaohua and Zuo Zhu exchanged a glance, the two of them directly rushed up, each hugging two large jars, but unfortunately there was no third hand.

  Even Guan Wei, a steady and serious person, held a jar in his arms, sniffed deeply through the mud seal, and had an intoxicated expression on his face.

  "Don't be in a hurry, everyone! There's enough for each of you. When it's time for you to leave, I'll give each person ten jars as a gift!"

  When they saw the 'flowers', they actually opened their stance and wanted to go get wine. Zhou Yi couldn't help but laugh and cry, saying: "Although this is rice wine, it's brewed with a special method of mine, drinking too much will also make you drunk. For us, one jar is enough, and this jar of mine is 15 kilograms."

  With Zhou Yi's promise, Zhu Xiaohua and the others reluctantly put down their wine jars and followed Zhou Yi back to the hall in a swarm, sitting in rows eating fruit and eagerly waiting for him to open the wine.

  "Slap."

  The palm of the hand patted open the mud seal, and instantly a fragrance overflowed the entire dining hall. The wine aroma even seeped into the water tank under the bamboo partition, where the originally lively goldfish became sluggish, and several of them simply swam in circles in the water.

  This isn't drunkenness, but being enchanted by this unique fragrance.

  Zhu Xiaohua and the others downed it in one gulp, only to realize the ferocity of this wine; not in its degree, but in that disastrous tune... In order to match this wine, Zhou Yi specially prepared a stack of small celadon bowls. The wine poured into the bowl did not have the thick and heavy feeling that Zhu Xiaohua and the others had imagined, but instead presented a clear and refreshing feeling, just like the sky after a spring rain, deep and serene.

  The brothers, along with Li Shaofen and the other ladies, couldn't help themselves. The men were deeply moved, their mouths agape, while the women's lips were slightly parted, their tongues lightly probing. But after taking a sip, they all seemed to have had their bones suddenly sucked out, collapsing onto their seats... This damn thing isn't wine, it's Tian Boguang's Chicken Crow Five Drum Return Soul Fragrance!

  This wine initially enters the mouth, only to feel a rich and smooth aroma slipping down the throat and esophagus. When it swirls in the stomach, there is no sensation of irritation or spiciness, but rather an extremely gentle and warm feeling... Regardless of whether you are male or female, you will feel as if a super-perfect handsome guy or beautiful girl is gently caressing you, making you involuntarily emotional.

  And this wonderful taste is transmitted to the whole body through the stomach in an instant. The brothers all closed their eyes, and in a daze, they seemed to see countless beautiful women with light gauze and beautiful faces surrounding them, massaging them with small hands, feeding them with small tongues, and singing in unison... The "flowers" were no better off either, each with a pink face, watery eyes, and a heart that was singing "Spring"... "Hmmm... I want to be a dazed ruler, loving whoever I please!"

  Excited to the extreme, Zuo Zhu suddenly let out a loud shout and burst into strange laughter.

  As for Zhu Xiaohua, this guy directly paralyzed, and was now exchanging flirtatious glances with the equally limp 'flower'... "Looks like this wine is quite potent... young people can handle it, but we can't let our older comrades drink it easily."

  Zhou Yi shook his head secretly, feeling that this wine of his was not quite orthodox enough, a bit too unconventional, truly a case of "beauty with a flaw".

  "Lao San, what... exactly is this wine?"

  It took five or six minutes for everyone to come back to their senses, and the amazing thing was that it wasn't drunkenness, but rather a daze. After waking up, it was as if they hadn't drunk anything at all.

  A group of men and women gazed at the wine jug on the table, their eyes shining with excitement. Who wouldn't want to relive the pleasure they had just experienced?

  "This wine is called 'City Overturning Calamity', I also brewed it just for fun, now it seems a bit...not quite right, not suitable for the elderly and children to drink..."

  "Either you don't want it, or wait until I brew new wine and then we'll talk."

  "Let go of Lao San! We're just fine with this batch, can you give me ten more jars?" Zhu Xiaohua was anxious as soon as he heard that.

  "Yes, yes." The flower also nodded repeatedly and patted her chest, saying: "Don't worry, Zhou Yi, we won't give it to the old man or the child, just us two will drink..."
