~5 min read 937 words

What the netizens never expected was.

Reba actually replied to a message under numerous "urge for updates" comments!

【@Dear-Reba: You can hear the full version of "Lanting Xu" after the full version of the edit is released!】

To be fair.

Fatty Di really mastered the nonsense literature with this move!

Qin Feng glanced at his phone, looked up, and said, "Are you here or here?"

Reba: "Just tell me if I'm right or not?"

Qin Feng nodded: "Although it's very right, saying it is the same as saying nothing."

Reba: "By the way~ Qin Feng, who did you invite?"

Before Qin Feng could answer.

He stood up and waved his hand toward the tavern entrance.

Seeing this, Reba quickly stood up as well.

Truly a case of husband leads, wife follows!

The visitor was a grandfather with white hair, over sixty years old but still full of spirit.

He wore a neat and tidy Zhongshan suit.

Carrying two small jars in his hand~

If this were elsewhere in Huaxia.

Reba might have wondered what was inside the old man's jars.

But considering this is Shaoxing.

The jars could contain nothing but yellow wine!

The old man waved and said, "Little Qin, right? Nice to meet you, nice to meet you."

Qin Feng hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I dare not claim the honor."

Seeing the two of them being polite right upon meeting.

Reba couldn't interject.

She obediently brought over a rattan chair and let the grandfather sit first.

After some small talk.

Reba learned that the grandfather's name was Wang Erniu, hmm... this is a name with a strong sense of era!

Grandpa Wang is a local master of yellow wine in Shaoxing.

He began studying the brewing techniques of yellow wine at the age of seventeen.

It has been several decades since then.

During his decades in the industry, Grandpa Wang wrote manuscripts on the brewing craft.

And he is currently donating these manuscripts free of charge to major local yellow wine breweries.

He is a representative inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage list 'Shaoxing Yellow Wine'. Just arrived at the place.

Grandpa Wang placed the small jars on the table.

He laughed heartily and said, "Your wine isn't good; taste mine! I brewed it with my own hands." Reba was somewhat puzzled.

Why is Grandpa Wang from Zhehang.

Yet he speaks with a strong Central Plains Mandarin accent.

After learning a bit more, she found out.

In his youth, the old man had been to the Central Plains and Qilu regions many times.

The reason Qin Feng contacted Grandpa Wang.

Was partly simply to pay a visit.

And partly to discuss matters related to the construction of the brewing workshop.

And Grandpa Wang Erniu's earlier "nice to meet you" was actually not just polite talk.

In the news about the excavation of the pottery cauldrons of the High Tang imperial family at the 'Huaxia Cultural Tourism City' in Chang'an.

Grandpa Wang had followed Qin Feng's 'Huaxia Cultural Tourism City'.

And regarding this young junior's ideas.

He was extremely approving and admiring.

On one hand, wanting to combine Huaxia culture with tourism projects.

Requires spending a lot of money.

This is consuming financial resources.

On the other hand, wanting to gather its essence into the 'city'.

Necessarily requires traveling all over Shenzhou, from Tiannanhaibei.

This is consuming energy!

In fact, many places attempt to integrate Huaxia culture with tourism projects.

But to do it well with heart, without deceiving tourists.

That consumes one's very blood and sweat!

Therefore!

Grandpa Wang, toward this young man Qin Feng.

Has both appreciation.

And admiration!

Grandpa Wang said, "If there's anything this old bones of mine can help with, just speak up!" Two small ceramic wine bowls were filled with wine by Reba.

She had no interest in wine.

She sat aside drinking a beverage.

If it were the dead of winter.

Warming a pot of yellow wine would offer yet another unique flavor.

Considering they wouldn't need to go out later.

Qin Feng accompanied Grandpa Wang in a couple of small bowls.

Occasionally, they planned to visit the local winery.

Grandpa Wang mostly dictated the brewing process of yellow wine.

From washing the rice to soaking the rice.

From steaming the rice to placing it in the vat.

Fermentation, stirring, boiling the wine, aging, and so on.

A full dozen or so steps.

It nearly made Reba dizzy from listening.

Winter is a good season for brewing yellow wine; other seasons are slightly inferior.

Naturally, it was impossible within such a short time.

To record the entire brewing process of yellow wine.

By the time they left the winery.

The moon had already risen above the willow branches.

From a full moon to a half-moon, the moon hid behind the clouds, flickering between bright and dim.

Reba suddenly understood and said, "Before, when you went to the Tibetan region, did you contact a Master who brews highland barley wine?" Previously, Qin Feng had mentioned going to the Tibetan region to find someone along the way.

During that time, he also left with Brother Ni for a period.

Although eating and drinking are only two words.

The beverages of Huaxia likewise encompass everything.

From fine teas of all regions to excellent wines from every place, the list is endless.

Qin Feng nodded, then looked up at the sky.

He said, "It might rain in twenty minutes; we probably won't make it to our lodging."

As he spoke, he fixed his gaze on a shop selling umbrellas.

Reba was left completely stunned!

She also imitated Qin Feng's manner.
