Reincarnation: The Soul of Dashul

The autumn night in Hupan Village does not have the bleak feeling of late autumn. The bright moonlight shines on the wooden houses by the lake, like a layer of silver light sand pouring out. On the surface of Nolen Lake, there are occasionally fish spitting bubbles, and it is peaceful. Rouli.

Ledo has summoned Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi is wearing a special costume brought to him by Teacher Norman, which completely covers his colorful body. At first glance, he looks no different from an ordinary Cuckoo demon.

Ledo and Xiao Qi came to a house in the village. This was the home of Uncle Du, the wine seller. They saw a small courtyard outside the house. On the inside of the small courtyard, near the door, there was a lookout pole. There is a wine flag with a big word "wine" written on it.

The wine flag was fluttering in the wind, Ledo had already smelled the aroma of the wine, and Xiao Qi had already started to get excited, and kept floating around in circles.

There are several villagers in the courtyard who are tasting fine wine, talking about interesting things at work, and discussing the news they heard in the town. They have free time after the meal, and they feel at ease.

"Huh? Little Ledo, have you grown so tall? Does your mother want you to buy wine and make medicine?" Uncle Du has a thin body and wrinkles on his face, but he is experienced and energetic when doing things, with hands and feet deft.

"Uncle Du! Make me a cup of fruit bar!" Ledo looked at Xiao Qi's impatient look and quickly bought wine.

"That's not okay, are you not of age? You can't drink!" Uncle Du is not a black-hearted alcohol seller. Besides, he has watched the children in the village grow up, and he cannot let these children develop bad habits.

"It's not me who drinks, it's this Gugu Monster who wants to drink!" Ledo quickly explained. After all, in the Dashul Empire, minors under the age of fourteen are prohibited from drinking.

"You kid, don't fool me. How can a Gugu demon know how to drink?" Uncle Du looked unconvinced.

"Uncle Kangbo, please lend me a glass of wine!" Ledo saw that Uncle Du didn't believe it, so he picked up a wine glass from the table and asked for a glass of wine from Uncle Kangbo who was doing the drinking order.

Before Uncle Kang Bo could react, he was so tipsy that he filled up the wine glass directly: "Huh? Little Ledo? Why, you can already drink? Try it quickly...this is grain essence!"

Ledo got the wine and signaled to Xiao Qi that he could drink it. Xiao Qi's excited eyes could not be concealed at all, and he shouted "Gu Gu Gu Gu..." and floated over.

Ledo poured the wine in the glass into Xiao Qi's big mouth, and Xiao Qi drank up one or two ounces of fruit wine. It was still unfinished, like a newborn baby looking for milk, its eyes were wandering. aim.

"Is this Cuckoo Monster really drinking?" Uncle Du felt that seeing it was believing it was an eye-opener.

"Hey... this Gugu demon seems to be one of the same people. Come on, let me give you a drink!" Uncle Andre at the other table saw this scene and immediately became interested and immediately took the A bottle of wine and came over.

Although Xiao Qi was greedy for wine, he was still very wary when facing strangers and did not dare to come forward. He opened his big eyes and looked at Ledo pitifully.

Ledo smiled and signaled Xiao Qi to relax. People in the village were not malicious. Xiao Qi then stepped forward excitedly. Uncle Andre took a bottle of wine and slowly poured it to Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi said, " "Gulu gulu" drink happily.

In just a blink of an eye, Xiao Qi drank all the two kilograms of fruit wine. Uncle Andre opened his eyes wide in surprise: "So powerful? This is two kilograms. Even I can't finish it, you little thing." , and you’re done in two bites?”

Suddenly, a pot exploded in the courtyard of the tavern, and the villagers who were drinking nearby slowly came over to watch the excitement curiously.

Next, Ledo didn't spend a single shell, and Xiao Qi drank freely. Unwilling to admit defeat, the villagers, one after another, took the initiative to bring the wine and started to compete with Xiao Qi.

Ledo was also surprised when he saw this. He didn't expect such an interesting thing to happen. He was not worried. Xiao Qi's drinking capacity was getting bigger and bigger. He drank ten kilograms of fine wine in one meal last time, and he didn't feel drunk at all.

After a while, everyone in the tavern was staggering due to Xiao Qi's drinking. Many people were still talking about continuing to drink and unwilling to admit defeat, but their bodies were already stumbling.

One after another, villagers began to be helped home by their respective families. When leaving, they did not forget to put down a challenge: "Little... little thing, you wait... another day... and drink... again..."

The autumn night is getting deeper, the lake breeze is slightly cool, the wine flags in the courtyard are fluttering in the night wind, the tavern in Uncle Du's house gradually becomes silent, and the figures begin to become sparse, Xiao Qi sits on the chair very honestly He looked intoxicated.

Ledo helped Uncle Du clear the tables and chairs. Uncle Du's three children have all grown up and are working hard and shining in the developed areas of the empire. Uncle Du will also leave Hupan Village in a few years. , he also wants to travel around the world.

Ledo and Uncle Du were chatting, and he suddenly asked: "Uncle Du, if you go sightseeing, we won't be able to drink this fine wine in the future!"

"...You little naughty boy, do you want to learn how to make wine from me? This is a secret recipe!" Uncle Du was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips and smiled.

Uncle Du thought for a moment, looked at Ledo, and continued: "It is rare for young people like you to be interested in this ancient skill... In fact, I am also worried that it will not be passed down. However, I have to wait until you are older next spring. You can’t learn to make wine until you reach adulthood at the age of fourteen, because you have to taste the wine yourself.”

Ledo originally didn't want to go to such trouble and just came to buy Uncle Du's wine for Xiao Qi to drink. However, as time went by, he found that even if the fruit wine was very affordable, it would still be a big expense in the long run. Moreover, Du The uncle will soon travel around the world, and Xiao Qi's supply of wine will be cut off again, which is not a long-term solution.

Ledo didn't expect that Uncle Du would agree to teach him how to make wine so easily. Moreover, Uncle Du seemed to be very happy. He just asked casually. After all, every family's wine recipes and techniques were heirloom secrets and their livelihood. , and the background.

Uncle Du just hopes that his skills can be passed down, and his hometown, this lakeside village that is isolated from the world, must also have this kind of fine wine. It is a taste of his hometown. With a successor, he can feel at ease Travel outside the earth and complete the last wonderful journey of this life.

At this time, Xiao Qi was already a little tipsy. It was swaying its chubby body, floating and swaying on Ledo's head. Upon seeing this, Ledo recalled Xiao Qi into the furnace of life and let it have a good rest.

That night, Ledo went home very happily holding an ancient book. It was an ancient book that Uncle Du asked him to read and study first after he promised to teach him how to make wine.

Ledo refused at first and had to read a book, which made him almost give up learning to brew wine. But later, Uncle Du told him that this ancient book was given to him by a friend of the Qianris Empire, and he developed his own wine based on this book. Ledo immediately became interested in the secret brewing recipe.

Ledo sat on a chair, touching the old book cover of the ancient book, and looked at the familiar ancient characters on it - "Donghua Wine Classic". He turned to the first page: In order to make good wine, the rice must be planted and the tillers must be planted. At the right time, the blazing fire must be clean, the water spring must be fragrant, the pottery must be good, and the fire must be perfect. Use six things at the same time, no difference, good wine can be expected...
