Chapter 15: Divide the wine
As the name suggests, monkey wine is a kind of wine.
But the real monkey wine is really brewed by monkeys.
Monkeys collect high-quality fruits from the mountains and pile them up to serve as rations for the monkey group.
Although monkeys are smart, they cannot protect fruits in boxes like humans do. Therefore, over time, the part of the fruit that is piled up and pressed on the bottom layer will inevitably be squeezed by the upper layer of fruit, causing it to burst.
Cracked fruit will produce pulp. At the same time, because the upper layer of fruit completely blocks the air, mainly cutting off the oxygen in the air, this will cause the pulp to mix with the wild bacteria attached to the skin of ordinary fruits. The yeast reacts and the wine is made by chance.
Note, it must be fermentation by chance, not rot!
This opportunity can even be said to be rare in a century. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call this kind of wild wine a rare product!
Xu Bo'an once heard an old gourmet say at a wine bureau: The real monkey wine would not be exchanged for a thousand pieces of gold.
Although Xu Bo'an is now worth tens of millions, no one thinks he has too much money!
What's more, one of the characteristics of middle-aged men is that they like to collect rare gadgets. Monkey wine is simply too high-end, hundreds of times rarer than any top-notch red wine or white wine.
Not only Xu Boan is interested in this stuff, but the villagers in the backing village are even more happy.
“Oh my God, it’s really monkey wine, we are so blessed.”
“Who just said that monkeys don’t know how to repay kindness, isn’t this the case? A drop of water will repay you with a spring of water! "
"Don't show off your bad culture of going to private school for a year. I just said it casually."
"Okay. Come on, stop making noise and let the monkeys see the joke.”
“With these monkey wines, will my migraine be cured?”
“That’s right. This monkey wine is very good for the body, especially for various brain problems. I was born bald when I was a child. I was born with a bald head. Later, I got lucky when I went hunting in a cave. I accidentally got a little bit of monkey wine, and after drinking it, my hair grew in three days.”
Good guy, it’s really fun.
When people reach middle age, they worry about old waist and hair loss.
Although Xu Bo'an's hairstyle is not yet at the Mediterranean level, he has obviously felt that his hairline has moved back in recent years.
With this monkey wine, wouldn’t it be possible to be radiant again and have black hair again!
But Xu Bo'an also knew that he couldn't just listen to what others said. He didn't know it until he tried it himself.
It’s just that the monkey wine was given to the villagers by the monkeys, and Xu Boan was embarrassed to ask for it.
Not only is he thin-skinned, but he is also good-looking.
You have to know that he is an otherworldly mountain god in the eyes of the villagers. How could he be so shameless and ask for things from the villagers!
Xu Boan didn't speak, but the villagers were very sensible.
Li Laosan watched the villagers gather in a circle around Houerjiu, pursed his lips, and clapped his hands twice vigorously.
“Everyone, be quiet and listen to what I, Li Laosan, have to say.”
Kaoshan villages are basically villages composed of a group of relatives, and almost every household has relatives.
Li Laosan is the oldest person among the group of people who came, so the villagers still listen to his words.
The scene became quiet at that time.
"Third uncle, tell me, we are listening."
"Third uncle, do you want to say how to distribute the monkey wine to everyone? Tell me quickly. I’m so greedy that I can’t help it.”
“That’s right, hey, I’m still waiting to drink some snake meat at night. I haven’t drank for a long time.”
Li Laosan said with a solemn expression: "Maybe you don't want to hear what I, an old man, say, but I hope you won't interrupt me. After I finish speaking, we will raise our hands and make a decision."
"You Come on, Third Master, we all listen carefully!" Li Qingshi nodded and agreed.
"Young and old men in the mountain village! This wine was brought by the monkeys to thank us for giving them food. This is true. However, I think the person they really want to thank is actually Grandpa Mountain God!"
As he spoke, Li Laosan pointed to the mountain temple halfway up the mountain and continued: "Grandpa Mountain God asked us to give food and drink to the monkeys, and those food and drinks were given to the monkeys. Originally, it was given to us by Grandpa Mountain God, so I suggest that we supply this monkey wine to Grandpa Mountain God!”
After Li Laosan finished speaking, Li Qingshi was the first to agree: "I agree! Dear uncles, aunts, and aunties, I think what the third master said is very right. If it weren't for the mountain god grandpa, we would be short of food and drink, and we wouldn't be able to survive for a few days. Not necessarily!"
"Okay, little Shitou, don't make the big guy so sad, let's just show our hands and vote." Li Laosan said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers all raised their hands.
"I agree! Little Shitou is right. If it weren't for the mountain god grandpa giving me food and drink, I wouldn't want to live. Starving is too uncomfortable."
"I also agree."< br>
......
Soon, all the villagers knelt on the ground, bowed in the direction of the mountain temple, and prayed in unison.
"Grandpa Mountain God, you have been so kind to us, and we have nothing to repay. Please accept the monkey wine sent by these monkeys."
Looking at the villagers Xu Boan was quite pleased with their simple and kind actions.
After all, my efforts were not in vain. When getting along with others, the most fearful thing is paying by mistake.
Especially when people reach middle age, they pay more attention to a person's inner qualities.
If these villagers are just a bunch of white-eyed wolves, Xu Boan will naturally not want to help them anymore.
As you grow older, you may look away from some things, become relieved, and no longer care.
But when it comes to getting along with others, we always need to be sincere.
As the saying goes, a person's heart can be exchanged for a person's heart, and eight taels can be exchanged for half a catty. If you put two good things aside, everything will be prosperous for your family!
Only if both of us are conscientious people can we maintain a good relationship with each other.
People are afraid of being sad, and trees are afraid of hurting their roots!
Fortunately, my luck is pretty good. These little guys did not disappoint me!
"I heard everything you said. Since you are so thoughtful, I will accept this monkey wine." Xu Boan said slowly.
“It should be so!” the villagers responded happily. Xu Boan then used the knowledge he just found on the Internet to popularize: "In addition, although this monkey wine does have many benefits, monkey wine is naturally aged fruit pulp, and it is very likely to contain toxic substances. . You are not able to bear these risks now. I can give you some real good wine to try.”
What Xu Boan thought of was naturally the pure grain wine produced by high technology in today's society. This is a completely different concept from the monkey wine that relies entirely on playing with probability.
Hearing what Grandpa Mountain God said, the villagers reacted strongly.
"Grandpa Mountain God is so polite. We originally planned to offer this monkey wine to you, so how can we ask for something from you again."
"Yes, Grandpa Mountain God, you helped. There are so many of us, and we finally have the opportunity to repay you, so how dare we ask for your gift again."
"That's right, Grandpa Mountain God, and since monkey wine is so dangerous, we definitely can't grasp it. , you can be regarded as resolving the disaster for us."
"Yes, and we believe that if we encounter any disaster, Grandpa Mountain God will definitely protect us."
The villagers. They had different opinions, but the meanings they expressed were exactly the same.
Xu Bo'an said again: "Let's talk about the monkey wine first. Li Qingshi, listen carefully. You have to divide the monkey wine into two parts. You are responsible for keeping one part safe. If you really need to treat migraines, and hair loss, remember to drink less and record the changes in your body to avoid unexpected events.”
Firstly, Xu Boan considered giving emergency treatment to the villagers, and secondly, he was not sure about the food and drink of Houerjiu. Does what goes into the stomach contain toxins?
Besides, if this thing is in the bonsai world, will there be any unexpected changes when it is taken out and placed in the real world?
Taking all things into consideration, Xu Boan had to think more carefully and make a backup in the bonsai world for comparison in the future.
Hearing Xu Boan's words, the villagers began to plead again.
“No way, Grandpa Mountain God, this makes our conscience uneasy!”
“Grandpa Mountain God, this monkey’s alcohol is extremely pure. We can’t drink much. At most, nine of you and one of us will be enough. .”
The villagers offered their suggestions.
Xu Bo'an sighed, helplessly aggravated his tone, and said: "Okay, everyone, don't talk anymore, this matter is settled, Li Qingshi, help me put this monkey wine Just divide it into two parts.”
Seeing Xu Boan’s determination, Li Qingshi did not dare to say anything more.
Now I found another wooden barrel and divided the monkey wine into two parts.
Xu Bo'an casually took out one of the wooden barrels. As soon as the wooden barrel came out of the bonsai, it gradually grew larger in Xu Bo'an's longing thoughts. Soon, it turned into a wooden barrel as big as a large pure water bucket. bucket.
Fully half a barrel of monkey wine exuded a refreshing fruity aroma in the barrel.
Good guy, the taste alone makes people intoxicated, as if they were immersed in an orchard of dozens of ripe fruits.
Xu Bo'an looked down and saw that the transparent main color of the monkey wine showed a light reddish purple, as if a few drops of dry red wine had been added to the white wine.
Using the small coffee spoon I used to drink coffee in the office, I carefully took out a spoonful and tasted it. The entrance was soft and refreshing, and a cool sweetness rushed straight into my throat, mixed with the slightly tipsy smell of alcohol. People feel thirsty!
After the monkey drank the wine, a warmth spread through his internal organs, and he felt indescribably comfortable, as if a clear spring was pouring on the arid desert.
Even, it seems to have a very obvious effect of nourishing yin and nourishing the kidneys.
Excellent! Really excellent!
The refreshing point of Monkey Wine is not the alcohol content, but the mysterious feeling that makes the whole body feel comfortable from the inside out.
Xu Boan smacked his lips and looked at the monkey wine in the barrel with some unfinished content, marveling at it.
Go to the cabinet under the bookshelf in your office and take out a bottle of Wuliangye, then take out a small bottle cap and pour half the cap. Slowly put it into the bonsai.
"These are some drinks from my collection. You can also have a taste."
The villagers came over happily.
“Grandpa Mountain God’s stuff must be good stuff.”
“I can already smell the aroma of wine. I have been drinking wine for most of my life, but I have never encountered such a mellow wine.”
“Oh my god, it’s so clear... This is really wine, not water.”
“What do you know, you can’t smell such an obvious wine aroma?”
"Just have a taste. Come, let's all have a taste. Today, thanks to the mercy of the mountain god and the kindness of the monkeys, let's have a drink!" Mention the matter of releasing the pack of wolves held by the ashtray.
So as not to spoil everyone’s fun.
Soon, the villagers started to drink, and some of the people who drank too much even invited the monkeys to drink together in a funny way.
Seeing how interested the villagers were, Xu Boan glanced around and saw a piece of king of kings placed on the fruit plate on the coffee table in the reception area of the office.
Immediately took out the King of Kings ham sausage, carefully scraped out a thin strip with a toothpick, then picked it up and put it into the bonsai.
"These are some cooked foods that can be eaten directly. You can try them." This can be regarded as having fun with the people.
The villagers had already developed a kind of trust in Xu Boan. When they heard Xu Boan's words, some villagers came up and took a bite.
"Wow, it smells really good! Definitely drink it."
"Following the mountain god grandpa is so happy, just like dreaming"
……
Amidst the praise, Xu Boan's bad mood improved a lot due to the change in work.
Just when Xu Boan was about to take another sip of monkey wine, suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door.
"Mr. Xu! Mr. Xu, are you okay! Mr. Xu, please don't let your mind wander!"
