An hour passed, a barrel of sake lees was almost finished, and there was no wine flowing out of the wine outlet, Chen Xu asked a few craftsmen to lift the steaming barrel down and quickly spread out the sake lees to cool down, and then loaded the second barrel of sake lees and continued to steam.

Half a day passed in a flash, and after steaming a total of four barrels of distiller's lees and getting more than 200 catties of wine, Chen Xu ordered that he would not continue to steam the wine, and arrange all the steamed liquor to be sent to his house.

These liquors are not mainly used for drinking, but for continued purification, use as industrial alcohol, and use as fuel for experiments.

However, it is not easy to control the use of this ordinary cauldron to continue purification, and a more precise still is needed, and dehydrated substances are also needed, which Chen Xu still needs to study slowly for a period of time.

However, it is already the turn of summer and autumn, although Chen Xu does not like to drink spirits, but winter is coming, but he can brew a few pots of medicinal wine first, and then take a few sips in winter, and you can also get some for the emperor.

For Chen Xu not doing his job properly and not being a prime minister, and he got back more than ten jars of liquor after a few days, the people of the entire Hou Mansion were naturally full of interest, not only a group of guards and housekeepers and stewards each came to taste it, but even Xia Zijin and Shui Qingrou couldn't hold back, and after tasting it, they went back to the room with red faces and red ears after tasting it.

And the news that Chen Xu made a kind of fairy wine that was as clear as a spring in the brewery, and the news of the mellow fragrance soon spread throughout Xianyang, and countless princes and princes couldn't help but come to the door to beg for a taste, Meng Yun and a group of gentlemen were no exception, but after each person drank two or three sips, they were all carried back by people in the carriage, this wine is too high, it is really like the news from the winery, it is not for ordinary mortals to drink at all, you will get drunk if you smell it, and you will die if you drink too much.

Two days later, the glass factory sent Chen Xu some glass wine jars of almost five catties, Chen Xu personally poured liquor, and soaked the prepared wolfberry, deer antler, ginseng, tiger whip, etc. in two jars, and after thinking about it, he felt that he really had no talent for making wine, so he asked people to invite Xu Fu and let him prescribe two pairs of tonic drugs to strengthen the body and invigorate blood circulation and soak a few jars, so that more than two hundred catties of liquor were used up nearly half.

Chen Xu personally sent half of the brewed medicinal wine to the palace, and after the emperor tasted the liquor himself, his beard and eyebrows trembled for a long time before he came back to his senses.

"Aiqing's wine is really extraordinary, like drinking hot soup, the stomach is warm, but it is too strong, I am afraid that I will get drunk after half a lamp!" Qin Shi Huang pinched the wine glass and his face flushed in admiration.

"Your Majesty, this wine is the product of ordinary turbid wine purification, this wine is a few catties on weekdays, naturally easy to get drunk, but the minister put some health-strengthening herbs in this wine, in late autumn and cold winter, you can drink a little every day, not only can invigorate blood circulation, but also help sleep and sleep, but remember not to drink too much, otherwise drunk not only mistaken but also damage the body!" Chen Xu advised.

"I've written down Aiqing's words, I won't drink too much!" Qin Shi Huang nodded, and then couldn't help but ask curiously, "Aiqing, isn't this method of making wine and purifying wine also taught by the Book of Heaven?" ”

"Exactly, this wine-making method is contained in Qi Min's technique, the theory is not profound, but it is necessary to use the steaming method to get such a mellow and fragrant wine, and if you want to get good wine, you need three steaming and three brewing, this wine is just a steamed and first brewed thing, the taste is extremely strong, it can only be used to make medicinal wine, and so the wine of two steaming and two brewing comes out, the taste will be soft and mellow and a lot, and then the minister will send some to taste with His Majesty!"

"That's great, but does this wine have any origin in the Book of Heaven?" Qin Shi Huang took a sip of wine, and seemed a little dizzy, he had always been interested in Chen Xu's three volumes of the Taiyi Immortal Venerable.

"Hehe, since Your Majesty asked, the minister did not hide it, this wine does have an allusion in the Book of Heaven, and there is a very bizarre mythological story, so this wine is also known as the Drunken Eight Immortals!"

Since it was given by the Book of Heaven, and the emperor had a hobby of exploring the Book of Heaven, Chen Xu didn't mind touting this wine well, so that the cowhide that he had blown out from the beginning could be more self-justifying.

As soon as the emperor heard the word immortal, he suddenly woke up most of the wine, grabbed Chen Xu's arm and stood up excitedly: "Let's go, Aiqing will accompany me to the back garden, I want to listen to the allusion of the drunken eight immortals." ”

So Chen Xu had no choice but to smile bitterly and go to the back garden with the emperor and the two of them intimately, the action of holding hands was full of affection, and the palace attendants and even the concubines who passed by all stood respectfully on the side of the road and saluted, their eyes full of envy.

Every time the Marquis of Qinghe enters the palace, the emperor must be in an extremely comfortable mood and want to go to the back garden to chat together.

The emperor has never been so affectionate to all the ladies and concubines of the harem, as well as the princess and princess.

Although it is the turn of summer and autumn at the moment, the weather is hot and dry, although the back garden is open and there are no big trees, but the flowers and ponds are all lush, the monarch and the minister sit down in the pavilion, and the palace maid is driven away by the emperor after serving tea.

The books of heaven are all secrets, and the things of the gods can come out of the mouth of the Marquis of Qinghe and enter the ears of the emperor, and outsiders can not know.

"Aiqing quickly say, how about this drunken eight immortals allusion?" After the palace people retreated, the emperor couldn't wait to ask.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, in fact, the things contained in the Book of Heaven are all unpredictable, and the time and place are all untraceable, so Your Majesty must not pursue the cause and source after hearing about it, and the right is like the legend of the White Snake as a story......" Before telling the story, Chen Xu couldn't help but remind the emperor.

"This is natural, Aiqing just has to say it, I will definitely not pursue what I say!" Qin Shi Huang nodded with a serious face.

"That's good, then the minister will tell the story of this drunken eight immortals......"

Chen Xu took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and spoke eloquently.

"Above the world is the fairy world, the fairy world is controlled by the Emperor of Heaven, every 10,000 years the Emperor of Heaven will summon the gods and goddesses with heads and faces in the heavenly realm to participate in a feast, which is called the Pan Tao Society......"

"What is the Peach Club?" Qin Shi Huang interrupted Chen Xu's words excitedly.

"The so-called peach will be the fairy world has a peach orchard, the legend is the back garden of the Queen Mother of the West, which grows some of the spirit species of heaven and earth from the beginning of chaos, called the peach tree, this peach tree absorbs the aura of heaven and earth, by the essence of the sun and the moon, three thousand years a flower, three thousand years a fruit, and three thousand years before it matures, and every time the peach is ripe, the Immortal Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West will summon the heavenly immortals to participate in the feast to taste the peach, this peach ordinary people only need to eat a bite to be immortal, smell the breath can also be sick, But for the immortals, although eating a peach will not escape death, it can also increase their life span by 500 years......"

"Aiqing, wait......" Qin Shi Huang hurriedly interrupted Chen Xu's words again, and asked with a shocked face, "Will the immortals also die?" ”

Chen Xu nodded solemnly: "Naturally, although the immortals are separated from the mortal body of the flesh, they are still under the control of the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao is immortal, all things are reincarnated, although the immortals have cultivated the immortal body, but they still can't escape the catastrophe, His Majesty has seen it, the twelve golden immortals who fall into the Zhuxian Great Array can be cut off and the top three flowers fall into the mortal dust, not to mention some small gods and immortals who are not high, so if the Taoist path is not enough, it will inevitably be wiped out and the immortal path will be cut off, countless immortals are proud to get the invitation of the Emperor of Heaven and the Queen Mother of the West. ”

"I see, immortals are not immortal...... Qin Shi Huang's face twitched slightly, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes.

Chen Xu didn't answer the emperor's words, but continued to tell his story.

"Every time there is a peach event, the heavenly court must be very lively, many immortals who live in seclusion on the fairy island of the sacred mountain will go to the banquet, and on a peach event, a group of wine-making fairy children secretly drank the fairy wine and got drunk and made a mistake, resulting in the gods who came to the banquet had no wine to drink, and the emperor of heaven was furious and relegated these fairy children to the mortal world and fell in a mortal country called Song Kingdom!"

"Your Majesty, don't guess, this Song Kingdom has nothing to do with the Song Kingdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it's just a mortal dynasty that doesn't know its origin!" Chen Xu saw that the emperor seemed to be about to speak again, and hurriedly explained a sentence and asked the emperor to swallow the rest of the words back.

"After these eight fairy children fell into the mortal world, they were reincarnated as mortal wombs and became new people, and each person's situation is also different, some were born in the family of the eunuch from a young age, some were born in a poor family, and some of them were born in a poor family from a young age, and some of their parents died and became beggars, but they are all like ordinary children in the mortal world who grow up ignorant and grow up, but after all, they are fairy children, so they also have immortal protectors when they grow up, and they begin to behave differently from ordinary mortals, they practice spells, kill demons in the world to help civilians, Therefore, it is slowly called by the mortal people as immortals, and eight temples are built around the world to worship the statue of its god and pray for blessings, and these eight people are the fairy children of the heavenly realm of winemaking, so they invented this method of making wine with three steaming and three brewing in the folk, and later the eight fairy children re-cultivated into the fairy road and flew to the heavenly realm, and the folk in order to commemorate the eight immortals, so they called this wine the drunken eight immortals......"

"I see, the drunken eight immortals are indeed the art of immortal brewing!" The emperor nodded, and after being silent for a long time, he spoke, "Today's weather is sunny and there is leisure, can Aiqing tell the story of the eight immortals in more detail?" ”

"Your Majesty wants to hear it, and the minister naturally knows everything, so tell Your Majesty the story of the Eight Immortals, the head of these Eight Immortals, is the most advanced sword immortal, the folk call it the pure yang real person, named Lu Dongbin, who practices the swordsmanship of slaying demons and killing demons, and kills countless demons in the world......"

The sun was strong in the garden, but it was unusually quiet, in Chen Xu's slow telling, not only Qin Shi Huang quickly immersed himself in a bizarre story of fairies and demons, but even the usually noisy summer cicadas stopped hissing, and could only hear Chen Xu foaming at the mouth telling a well-known fairy story for later generations.

"The fairy mountain is separated by the sea of clouds, the jade belt of Xialing is connected, it is said that there are immortals outside the world, the immortals are envious, the world works hard, why is it difficult to have a happy garden......"

An hour later, Chen Xu hummed an ancient theme song of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea and returned to the Hou Mansion.

"Why is the husband so happy, and what song is he singing?" Shui Qingrou, who was practicing swordsmanship in the garden, saw Chen Xu come in and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Hehe, I just went to the palace to send wine to the emperor, but I didn't expect to be pulled by the emperor to tell a story for an hour, Chunxiang go and pour me some herbal tea, I'm thirsty!"

"Yes, Master Hou!" Chunxiang turned around and left to pour tea, while Chen Xu sat on the wooden chair gently with the water and looked around and asked, "Where did Shiyan and Wan'er go?" ”

"Wan Niang went to the academy, today is fine, the princess took Xi'er to the construction site to see the Xiu Keju field, and the senior brother and sister Zijin also went with her!" The water gently explained.

"Gently, you can also go out with you to relax, you don't have to wait for me at home every day!" Chen Xu hugged the water and said softly.

"My husband is busy every day, and I have to be taken care of when I go home, and I like to be quiet and gentle, so you don't have to worry about me!" The water gently and gently helped Chen Xu tidy up his clothes and said.

"Master Hou, please drink tea!" Chunxiang came out with a cup of herbal tea, Chen Xu drank it dry after a few sips and said with a smile, "In my spare today, I will tell you a fairy story that you have never heard before!" ”

"Could it be the story that the husband told the emperor in the palace just now?" The water is soft and beautiful.

"Yes, the liquor I brewed this time comes from this story, the name of the wine is called the Drunken Eight Immortals, and I am telling a story called the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea......"

Shui Qingrou especially likes to listen to Chen Xu's storytelling, just today I saw that Shui Qingrou was a little lonely and bored, so Chen Xu told the story he had just told in the palace again, and as soon as he heard Chen Xu tell the story, the four little maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter also hurriedly moved a small stool to sit around, and listened to it with their chins in their hands.

And halfway through the story, Ying Shiyan, Yu Wuya, and Xia Zijin, who went out to play, came back together, and heard a brand new story that they had never heard before, and immediately gathered around, and even brought a large group of maids and maids in the backyard to listen to it Fascinated, and let out a burst of exclamations from time to time, and after Chen Xu finished speaking, Yu Wuya asked about the first half of the story, and several maids began to add oil and vinegar to the explanation in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the whole courtyard was noisy and lively.

"Pure Yang real person Lu Dongbin, stepping on the sword to kill demons and demons, it is really desirable......" Yu Wuya's face was full of admiration.

"It's just a story, you take it seriously, what a big idiot!" Xia Zijin was as dismissive as ever.

"How can it be a story, it's just that the immortals are cut off right now!" Yu Wuya shook his head with a slightly regretful expression.

"Husband, how does this story of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea feel similar to Journey to the West?" Shui gently asked as she recalled the story.

"Well, in fact, it's not only related to Journey to the West, but also related to the Fengshen List, the words of the gods are vain and compassionate, everyone can forget it after listening to it, just like Zijin said, in fact, it's just an ordinary story, don't take it seriously!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Even if it's a story, it's still fascinating, the gods fly to the sky and travel all over the world, the fairy island of the gods must have existed, and I don't know if there really has been a Dragon Palace of the East China Sea and the Dragon King of the East China Sea in the East China Sea, Engong, when will we go to the East China Sea again, or is it interesting to sail on a boat on the sea, this Xianyang is not fun at all now, I still want to wait for the garlic planted by Engong to mature, and then go to the beach to eat a steamed scallop with garlic vermicelli that Engong said......" Yu Wuya licked his mouth yearningly.

As soon as Yu Wuya said this, Chen Xu instantly felt his saliva come down, licked his mouth and stood up and went straight to the garlic seedling field he had cultivated. ()
