Chapter 621 Public Requirements
"Cao Kun in Weihou's Mansion in Xiazhen, I don't know how to call this fellow Taoist, but he looks very familiar." Cao Kun cupped his hands and said with a smile.
"Lu Xiaotian, fellow Daoist Cao is a person who knows wine. I just took out this green bamboo brew, and fellow Daoist Cao couldn't hold back anymore." Lu Xiaotian made a gesture of invitation.
"Haha, in terms of knowledge of wine, Mr. Cao doesn't count, but he has done some research on green bamboo brewing. Apart from cultivation in this life, Mr. Cao puts most of his thoughts on this thing. Seeing that Lu Xiaotian didn't refuse him to sit down, Cao Kun was a little bit elated when he saw that Lu Xiaotian didn't refuse him to take a seat, and praised him as a person who knows wine. Looking at Lu Xiaotian's driving situation, he probably wouldn't refuse him to taste this fine wine together. Fortunately, he just now He came first, otherwise if someone else got there first, wouldn't he have to pass by such fine wine?
"Oh? If that's the case, fellow Daoist Cao might as well tell me what's famous about my green bamboo wine. If it comes to the hurdles, it's okay to share this wine with fellow Daoist Cao." Lu Xiaotian said.
"Success, then it's settled." Cao Kun's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he folded his palms, looking a little eager to fight, and sniffed slightly with his nose. "It tastes sweet and mellow, but it doesn't have the thickness of old green bamboo brew. It should be brewed recently. It's a pity that it can't be aged for some years."
"The fragrance of this wine is so fresh and striking, without any sense of oldness, it should be taken from the young buds of Tianhe bamboo, and there is no old leaf mixed in it. It is possible to make this pot of wine with such a great effort. Fellow Daoist can be regarded as an extraordinary person. Is Cao right?" Cao Kun said with a smile.
"That's right, it's on point, here's a glass for you." Lu Xiaotian poured Cao Kun a glass of wine readily. The glass in his hand was not an ordinary porcelain cup or jade, but a small cup made of a bamboo tube.
"At least 800-year-old Tianhe Bamboo is used to make the wine glass. Fellow Daoist is really generous." When Cao Kun saw the wine glass that Lu Xiaotian took out, his face turned pale with shock. The hand that took the wine glass trembled slightly.
Tianhe bamboos are extremely rare, even in the Heitian Mountain Range, they are occasionally encountered, but the Tianhei Mountains are full of monsters and beasts, and Tianhe Bamboos of such a year are rare, and once they appear occasionally, they are taken away by other monks, even if they As the Chief Steward of Zhenweihou Mansion, this is also the first time I have seen this thing. Tianhe Bamboo is an excellent refining material, and it is a bit too extravagant to use it to make wine glasses. This is not like what a foundation-building monk should have. When Cao Kun held the wine glass, the twists and turns in his mind had already turned several times.
"Occasionally, I got a small piece, which is too little to be used for refining, so it is not suitable for other things. I happened to make some wine, and it would be good to use it as a utensil for holding wine." Lu Xiaotian smiled, how could he tell the truth? Of course, he saw off a small piece of Tianhe bamboo in the enchantment to make this wine container.
"So, fellow Daoist Lu is a caring person. This green bamboo brew is really suitable for serving wine. If it is replaced with an ordinary utensil, it will lose a bit of flavor. So, Cao will not be polite." Cao Kun took a sip of his drink, and at the same time his face was fascinated, his face showed a bit of surprise, "This, this is!"
"Why, fellow Daoist Cao can only see this?" Lu Xiaotian looked at Cao Kun leisurely while holding the jug in his hand, with a look of intention to take the school exam.
"Even the green bamboo wine brewed from Tianhe bamboo should never be like this fine wine. Daoyou Lu's wine is new, but the taste is not the same as those of nearly a hundred years old wine. .” Cao Kun showed a look of doubt.
"This is the special feature of this wine. Daoyou Cao has also noticed that my Qingzhu Niang is a newly brewed wine. If it is aged for a few more years, the flavor will be even more unique. When I brewed this wine, I deliberately added some other materials, whether it is the materials or the brewing method, it is not comparable to the ordinary green bamboo brewing." Lu Xiaotian did not tell the secret.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Lu has a lot of knowledge in the wine industry. Although Cao, the Daoist here, thinks that he knows little about Qingzhu Niang, when he met Fellow Daoist Lu today, he knows that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky beyond the sky. It seems that this second cup of wine , Cao can’t drink anymore.” Cao Kun said with a regretful face.
"Actually, it's so difficult to drink this wine, not to mention the second cup, it's not a bad idea to give this pot of wine, or the secret method of brewing green bamboo wine to Cao Daoyou." Lu Xiaotian put the wine pot on the table and said.
"Oh? I would like to hear the details." Cao Kun said with a bit of interest on his face.
"I have heard for a long time that the fire aura in Zhenweihou's mansion is very rich and abnormal, which is very beneficial to the cultivation of fire monks. I have admired it for a long time, and I also want to find a job in Zhenweihou's mansion, as long as I can provide it for me to practice, what I should do I am absolutely unambiguous about my duties. You Daoyou Cao is deeply trusted by the Marquis of Zhenwei, so it must be an easy thing to arrange for a person to enter the mansion." Lu Xiaotian said simply and clearly.
"You want to enter Zhenweihou's mansion, is this just an attempt?" Cao Kun's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he looked at Lu Xiaotian vigilantly and said.
"Otherwise, what other plans can there be? If you are a master of Zhenweihou Mansion, you can be regarded as a late-stage Jindan cultivator. If you enter alone, there will be no way out. What's more, your cultivation level is mediocre." Lu Xiaotian said frankly, "Is there really any plan?" , is also looking for other opportunities to enter Zhenweihou Mansion, do you need to explain to Steward Cao so openly?"
"It's true, but in recent years, the Hou's mansion has made a lot of enemies and made a lot of enemies, but Cao has to guard against it." Cao Kun was somewhat reasonable when he heard Lu Xiaotian's words. If Lu Xiaotian really had any intentions, find His connection into the Hou Mansion, isn't he throwing himself into the trap? He just needs to arrange another person to secretly pay attention to Lu Xiaotian. However, when it comes to Zhenweihou Mansion, Cao Kun will be extremely cautious, and he will not let go easily.
"I have nothing to say to others. My only attempt is to enter the Zhenweihou Mansion to practice, and use the unique fire power of the Marquis Mansion to practice a unique secret method. As for everything else about the Marquis Mansion, I am not interested, and neither is Fellow Daoist Cao. It is necessary to arrange me in an important position in the mansion, even if I am an ordinary handyman, or take care of some important spiritual objects in the backyard, it is not a problem. As long as there are not too many mundane things, it will not affect my cultivation. As for I don't need to take a step into the important area of the Hou Mansion, how about that?" Lu Xiaotian said directly. At first, he also thought about using the identity of a handyman to sneak into the Zhenweihou Mansion, but thinking about it this way, he also felt that it was a bit inappropriate, after all, there are many masters in the Zhenweihou Mansion, and the handymen basically have their own affairs at hand. He is a newcomer, if he is not in his position, he may show his flaws in a short time. And he might not have much chance to get close to the abandoned dry well in the backyard of Zhenweihou Mansion.
