Chapter 90: The White Wine Asks the World

  Two guards rushed over, their faces stern. "What's all the commotion about?" Thousand Faces shouted angrily.

  "Not good, General. This soldier seems to have seen Huang Tuo get angry, originally red face quickly turned pale, stuttering: "General, succeeded"

  "Did it work?" Huang Tao heard his subordinate's inexplicable words and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

  "Boom!" A faint rumbling sound started, and Huang Tao and the others looked in the direction of the sound. They saw Leng Xiao Yao throwing away the round stone pillar on his shoulder and walking towards them with big strides.

  "Is it the wine cellar?" Cold Xiangyao didn't have Huang Tao's angry expression, but instead had a smiling face as he looked at the soldier who came to deliver the message.

  "Uh-huh." The soldier nodded hastily.

  "Good." A look of joy appeared on Leng Xiao Yao's face as he strode quickly towards the wine cellar, while Huang Tao and the others suddenly remembered something and their faces lit up with a hint of joy. They quickly followed in Leng Xiao Yao's footsteps, heading swiftly towards the wine cellar, completely unlike their exhausted appearance from earlier.

  Leng Xiao walked into a huge cave behind the base, only to see rows of wooden barrels placed inside the cave entrance. As he walked deeper into the cave where the barrels were placed, he caught a whiff of a strong wine aroma.

  "The subordinate has seen the young master, and also seen the general." The soldiers in the wine cellar knelt down on one knee to greet Leng Xiao Yao as he entered.

  "Get up, everyone!" Leng Xiao Yao waved his hand casually. Then he walked directly to a wooden barrel that had been opened, and saw that the barrel was filled with a turbid liquid that emitted a pungent and nose-piercing wine aroma that rose into the air. Leng Xiao Yao smelled this familiar wine aroma and knew that he had succeeded in brewing it. He reached out his hand to pick up a small spoon next to the wooden barrel, scooped up a small amount of the turbid liquid from the barrel, and lightly tasted it with his mouth. A fiery sensation filled his oral cavity.

  "It's so cool and carefree to know that the wine mother fermentation is successful. It seems that Tianjun Tuan can increase its income again."

  "Master, have we succeeded in brewing the wine?" Huang Tao asked with a surprised expression, and just by asking about this wine fragrance, he felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

  Leng Xiao Yao shook his head and said: "It's not considered a success yet, but our first step was successful, so the rest will be easier."

  "May I have a taste, young master?" Feng Tianming gazed at the fermentation vat with a greedy expression, as if it were a naked beauty. "Haha, Old Feng the wine ghost can't hold back anymore." Zhang Fei teased.

  "En coldly smiled and handed over the small spoon, saying: 'This wine has not yet settled and is not yet fragrant, don't drink too much.'"

  "Alright, the young master took the spoon handed over by Qing Xian and walked to the edge of the fermentation bucket. He scooped up a large spoonful and first tasted it with a small mouthful. Suddenly, his eyes sparkled with a hint of excitement. Next, he directly put his mouth to the spoon and started drinking in big gulps."

  Leng Xiao saw Feng Tianming drinking like that and his face changed slightly. He hastily called out: "Don't drink like that."

  Unfortunately, Leng Xiao Yao underestimated Feng Tian Ming's capacity for drinking. By the time he turned around, Feng Tian Ming had already downed two large bowls of liquor.

  "Little master?" Feng Tianming didn't understand why Little Master agreed to drink with him, yet wouldn't let him drink. But when he called out the two words "Little Master", he felt a wave of dizziness in his head, and then suddenly saw that the person in front of him had split into two people? Finally, everything went black, and he lost consciousness and fell down.

  Zhang Fei saw his companion faint and fall to the ground, and with a swift motion, he caught the falling Feng Tianming. A look of puzzlement appeared on his face as he gazed at Leng Xiuwu.

  "Young master, what's wrong with Tianming?" Huang Tao was also bewildered. He didn't believe that just two cups of wine could make the Wine God of the Heavenly Army, Feng Tianming, fall down. Although he wasn't clear about the reason, from the young master's words of restraint earlier, he believed that his young master definitely knew the reason.

  Leng Xiao's face showed a mixture of anger and amusement as he said, "It's all because this guy is too greedy. I told him not to drink too much, but he didn't listen."

  "Master, you mean to say that Tianming is drunk?" Huang Tao's face showed a look of surprise.

  "What good wine!" Suddenly, Feng Tianming, who was lying in Zhang Fei's arms, opened his mouth and shouted. As soon as he did, Huang Tao and the others on the scene understood what had happened, because a strong smell of alcohol burst out of Feng Tianming's mouth, almost intoxicating Zhang Fei, who was holding him.

  "What a huge wine aroma! Huang Tao and others secretly thought in their hearts, becoming even more curious. They had only seen Feng Tianming drink two cups of wine, how could there be such a strong wine aroma? It seemed as if he had drunk dozens of bottles of fiery liquor, it was strange."

  Leng Xiangyao gazed at Huang Tao and the others, each with a pleading look in their eyes. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Brother Huang, I've already told you earlier that this is the first step in brewing wine. This thing is called yeast, and it's only when one spoonful of it is added to half a bucket of clear water that it will start to ferment and become drinkable. Moreover, if we add half a bucket of clear water, the resulting wine will be twice as potent as Fire Spirit Wine. If we add an entire bucket of clear water, its potency will be roughly equivalent to that of Fire Spirit Wine. However, our wine will absolutely not lose out in terms of quality."

  After hearing this, Huang Tao and the others calculated it themselves. They were shocked to find that according to their own calculations, Leng Xiangyou had just drunk two large ladles of wine, which was equivalent to drinking four large barrels of fiery liquor! This kid wasn't afraid of drinking himself to death! Leng Xiangyou nodded slightly at the person in charge of the wine cellar, who immediately summoned a soldier and whispered some instructions. The soldier quickly ran towards the cave and soon reappeared with a bucket of clear water, which he placed in front of Leng Xiangyou before retreating to the side.

  Leng Xiangyao picked up another small spoon next to the wooden bucket, scooped out a large spoonful of fully fermented liquor from the fermentation bucket and poured it into a bucket of clear water in front of him. Immediately, the previously plain and unremarkable clear water reacted, releasing a faint aroma of wine.

  "Ah!" Huang Tao and the others exclaimed in surprise, only now did they truly believe what their young master had said earlier. Just from the fragrance of the wine wafting out, these people dared to confirm that this wine would not lose to any other wine. Unfortunately, they didn't know that Cold Skye had specially instructed the person in charge of brewing to add a small amount of ginseng during the brewing process, so it could be said that this wine was also a medicinal wine.

  What actually made Cold Skye depressed was that the people of this Maya continent called ginseng "poisonous doll" because in the past, some starving people had eaten it and ended up bleeding from all seven orifices and dying. From then on, ginseng became a poisonous fruit in people's eyes. After hearing this legend, Cold Skye felt strange, but only after seeing the ginseng in the mountains a few days ago did he understand the reason why. Because in the Gao'a mountain range, there were many ginseng plants everywhere, and each plant was over 300-400 years old. Not to mention starving people eating it, even if a fierce tiger ate it, it would be killed instantly. Fortunately, Cold Skye thought of brewing wine with a small amount of ginseng, which could cure alcoholism while also nourishing the body, achieving two goals at once.

  He picked up a cup of already chilled white wine, and after taking a big gulp, he felt a fiery hot flow sliding down from his mouth to his stomach. Suddenly, it seemed like there was a raging fire burning in his belly.

  "Good wine." Leng Xiangyao seemed to have returned to his own space and time, drinking Erguotou with his comrades again.

  "Huang Gege, you all come try to see." Leng Xiao Yao seeing Huang Tao and others' eager expressions, hastily handed over the small spoon in his hand.

  As for who tasted it first, Huang Tao naturally took the lead. He scooped up a spoonful of white wine and brought it to his mouth. As soon as the wine entered his mouth, Huang Tao's eyes lit up instantly. Then he closed his eyes, swallowed hard, and after a moment, he opened them again, couldn't help but smack his lips and exclaimed: "Good wine!"

  "Generals, it's our turn now." Zhang Fei and others called out weakly.

  "What's this little kid drinking, just waiting around." Huang Tao didn't care about his subordinate's opinion of him at all, and one after another, he raised his glass of white wine to drink, with a look of intoxication on his face.

  Zhang Fei saw his general's intoxicated expression and felt even more itchy in his heart, but he didn't dare offend his general. So when he saw the smiling Leng Xiao on the side, he turned his eyes and immediately put on a bitter face, complaining: "Young Master, look at our general, actually only caring about tasting for himself."

  Leng Xiao Yao's face revealed a smile as he shook his head, then laughed and said: "How silly you all are! This is a wine cellar, can't you ask someone to bring over a few ladles?"

  "Right!" Zhang Fei slapped his own head and shouted at the wine cellar manager: "Second Dog, quickly bring a few ladles over!"

  Feng Tianming, because of his gluttony, had no chance to taste the real good wine, while Huang Tao and others were like a group of drunkards, grabbing a bucket of Baijiu after the toast, and within minutes, the thirty kilograms of white wine in the wooden barrel was completely drained.

  Leng Xiao Yao saw this scene and was stunned, with a hint of surprise on his face: "Huang Da Ge, are you using internal energy to dispel the effects of alcohol?"

  "Our young master." Huang Tao and the others heard their own young master's voice of surprise, only then did they react, realizing that they had been so busy scrambling to drink the fine wine that they had abandoned their own master to one side. Each and every one of them showed a hint of shame on their faces.

  "Huh?" Huang Tao's face suddenly changed, and he immediately sat down on the ground, a visible red glow appearing on his body's surface. The temperature around him rose sharply at once.
