Chapter 202 Guanghan Feixian Wine
Gong Mengbi glanced at the flowers in the basket, which looked like shards of gold and jade, radiant and bright. He said, "When I brew wine, I'll give Master a pot."
Dr. Huang shook his head and said, "You are now at the seventh rank, so you should start cultivating your spirit. This item is just right for you. For me, it's just icing on the cake, but for you, it's a timely help. I don't want it, so you can use it as you wish."
Dr. Huang escorted Gong Mengbi out and said, "I've already found a few candidates for you. There are some who are willing to work with you, but they're either too far away or their connections are unclear. I'm not very reassured. Please wait a moment. I'll check and let you know if there's any problem."
Gong Mengbi said, "Thank you for troubling me, Master. I have been thinking about this matter."
Dr. Huang waved his hand and said, "It's just a few words, no need to bother. You should practice hard. The world is constantly changing. The Demon Star has been reincarnated for over a year now. There's no telling when chaos will break out. If you build a Fox Courtyard now, you might attract attention. Without a foundation of Taoism and magic to protect you, it's really hard to trust."
Gong Mengbi nodded and said, "I know what's going on."
Dr. Huang watched Gong Mengbi like this, feeling both proud and worried. He worried that Gong Mengbi wouldn't be able to succeed, and his path would be difficult. He also worried that Gong Mengbi would become too successful, and thus be envied.
It is still pitiful to be sensible. Doing everything well often means suffering a lot that ordinary people can hardly imagine.
"Go." Dr. Huang patted his shoulder and watched him turn into smoke and disappear in Tianhu Courtyard, his heart full of emotion.
His soul returned to Fox Hill, the fragrance of osmanthus flowers lingering around him, making him feel refreshed and clear-minded. Gong Mengbi thought for a moment and took out a jade box of osmanthus flowers, saving them for making incense and brewing the rest into wine.
Shouyue Tower has kept the magic of the fox offering sacrifices to the moon, and now it has condensed a lot of moon dew, which is perfect for making wine.
However, Gong Mengbi did not plan to do it himself. His wine-making skills were decent, but far inferior to those of a real talent.
"Changxia." Gong Mengbi called out.
A yellow-robed ghost appeared in the room and bowed, saying, "Master, what are your orders?"
Gong Mengbi said, "Go to Jinhua and ask my brother to come back."
Huang Changxia took the order and left.
The next day, Fatty Kang hurried back. When he saw Gong Mengbi, he looked him over carefully and breathed a sigh of relief. "You suddenly sent Huang Changxia to look for me, only asking me to come back, without saying anything about the matter. I was so worried."
Gong Mengbi said, "I got something good. Please help me make it into wine."
Fatty Kang raised his voice: "You're rushing me back so badly just to make wine? You scared me."
Gong Mengbi said, "I'm afraid of wasting good things."
"Good stuff? Let me see."
Gong Mengbi took him to see the osmanthus flowers. When Fatty Kang saw the basket of osmanthus flowers, he showed an obsessed look, walked around the bamboo basket twice, and sighed, "What a wonderful thing."
Gong Mengbi said: "How can I lie to you?"
Fatty Kang nodded perfunctorily, took an osmanthus flower, put it in his hand to smell the fragrance, and then put it into his mouth to taste it carefully. He was already thinking about how to make this wine.
Gong Mengbi didn't disturb him. After a moment, Fatty Kang came to his senses and said, "You can go about your business. I need to shower, change clothes, and then use all my life's knowledge."
Gong Mengbi left him in Shouyue Tower and taught him in Huziyuan.
It was not until the next day when Gong Mengbi returned to Shouyue Tower that he discovered that Fatty Kang was already fast asleep.
Wine jars were scattered on the ground, and the statue of the Kitchen God was soaking in the wine jars. The osmanthus wine had been brewed and sealed in a large jade jar.
Gong Mengbi cleaned up the wine jars, wondering what Fatty Kang had done the previous day. Fatty Kang had drunk all the wine in Shouyue Tower, and no one knew how many jars he had drunk.
Take the Kitchen God's tablet out of the wine jar, wipe it clean, and light two incense sticks for him.
Without disturbing Fatty Kang's sleep, Gong Mengbi practiced upstairs.
When Fatty Kang woke up, it was already late at night and he got up thirsty.
After taking two large gulps of water and seeing that Gong Mengbi was still awake, Fatty Kang asked, "Is everything okay these days?"
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "Of course I'm fine. How about Jinhua? How's your restaurant going?"
Fatty Kang said proudly, "I've already taken down all the restaurants at the dock. Xiao Yi'er has made great progress in his cultivation recently, and his cooking skills have improved a lot."
Gong Mengbi said with relief: "That's good. How is Sister Xiangjun?"
Fatty Kang said, "She's quite famous. She's a beautiful witch who's blessed by the gods. She's often invited to perform rituals."
Gong Mengbi said, "It seems that Sister Xiangjun's cultivation is gradually improving. By the way, why did you drink so much yesterday?"
Fatty Kang glanced at the Kitchen God statue on the table and said, "I asked someone to help me brew wine last night, but he didn't want to put in the effort, so I had to make a bet with him and got him drunk."
Gong Mengbi glanced at the statue of the Kitchen God, then looked at Fatty Kang with a look of surprise.
I gave Fatty Kang a thumbs up. No wonder he drank so much since he could make him fall down drunk.
Fatty Kang said casually, "The osmanthus wine is ready. He calls it Guanghan Feixian Wine, a divine recipe. Regardless of the new moon or full moon, take it out and expose it to the moon for forty-nine days, and it'll be ready."
Gong Mengbi said, "When it's brewed, I'll send you a pot."
Fatty Kang didn't refuse and said, "This thing nourishes the spirit, I won't refuse it."
Looking at the sky, Fatty Kang said, "It's still dark, so I should hurry back and open the shop when it gets light. I don't know if Xiao Yi'er can handle being away for the next two days."
Gong Mengbi said, "We'll meet again at the end of the year."
Fat Kang nodded, bowed before the statue of the Kitchen God, rolled the statue into his bag, and disappeared into the darkness.
Gong Mengbi followed Fatty Kang's instructions and took out the Guanghan Feixian wine to dry under the moonlight.
When the moonlight fell on the jade jar, it was as if something fell in, causing a little light to appear in the jar, and there was a faint fragrance that was fascinating.
"What's this?"
A beautiful woman surrounded by smoke walked slowly in the forest, with a skull flying beside her.
The Rakshasa Ghost Mother sniffed the faint aroma of osmanthus and exclaimed, "What a wonderful thing!"
The Skull God also swung around the jade jar and said, "This is nothing special."
Gong Mengbi said, "Guanghan Feixian wine is brewed from the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers given by the goddess."
The Skull God said, "So that's how it is. You are worthy of it." The Skull God has been with Gong Mengbi for a long time and has been getting to know him more and more. He no longer has the idea of going against him.
The Rakshasa Ghost Mother is still new, but now her eyes are looking at Gong Mengbi more and more gently.
Because some time ago in Yongkang County, Gong Mengbi had promised to let her out for some fresh air every day. She saw that the ghosts and gods in the Yue Mansion had close contacts with Gong Mengbi, but she herself did not dare to show up and could only turn into smoke and hide in the small golden furnace.
In the following days, he even took the initiative to hint to Gong Mengbi that she didn't need to be so abiding by the rules and principles, and it didn't matter if she was not let out for some fresh air every day.
Gong Mengbi responded with a smile and did not continue to flatter the Rakshasa Ghost Mother.
In Mount Tai, even the Rakshasa ghost mother, who has the appearance of the Flower-scattering Goddess, will have to stop and restrain her vicious nature in front of the ghosts and gods in Yue Mansion.
