Chapter 187 This wine is not just for drinking
"Okay, I'll have to go check it out later."
"Sure. If there's any wine you like, I can give you some to try."
"Chunming, take Master Guan to have a look around. I'll make a pot of tea to quench your thirst."
Ye Shu thought the old man would go to the antique area first, but he didn't expect that the two of them went to the herbal medicine area first.
He didn't pay attention to the two of them. After making tea, Ye Shu felt a little bored. What should he do? After thinking for a while, he thought that he hadn't painted for a long time, so he might as well paint for a while!
Grandpa Guan came to the herbal medicine area and took a look. He had much more knowledge than Han Chunming, and he couldn't help but sigh and said, "They are all good things! I didn't expect there would be so many good herbs here!"
Han Chunming nodded and said, "Yes, Master, I don't recognize many of the herbs here. Look, this is the purple Ganoderma lucidum and various ginsengs I mentioned."
When Mr. Guan saw these medicinal herbs, he couldn't help but look at them with envy; when people are young, they never think about these things, but only when they are older will they become obsessed with all kinds of medicinal herbs, and the richer and more powerful people are, the more so.
Their obsession was not with the herbs but with health and longevity.
When Han Chunming and the other person came to the red spider lily, Grandpa Guan also looked at it carefully out of curiosity.
After the two came out of the herbal medicine area, they saw Ye Shu writing something. Han Chunming took one look and planned to go up and flatter him. However, after the two saw the paintings Ye Shu had drawn, they were stunned.
Han Chunming saw him stop and asked, "Brother, what is this you drew? Why does it look so weird?"
Ye Shu laughed and said, "Sit down, have a cup of tea and then go and watch."
"This one I drew is called Big Mouth Monkey. I just drew it for fun."
"Oh, and what are these?"
Ye Shu looked at Han Chunming like a curious baby and said, "This is called Bald Qiang and Xiong Da and Xiong Er."
Grandpa Guan took a look at it and felt it was a bit awkward, just like a child's graffiti, and he lost interest.
But the paper looks good, it’s just a pity!
After the three of them drank tea for a while, Grandpa Guan couldn't wait to go to the antique area to take a look.
As a result, I got up and turned around the sofa, and when I reached the door of the wine storage area, my nose moved, as if I smelled some delicious food, and my body involuntarily came to the door of the wine storage area.
Han Chunming walked to the antique area, but when he turned around, he found that his master had run to another door. Looking at the words written on the door, "Wine Storage Area", he understood what was going on.
This old man! It seems that he is addicted to alcohol again! He walked over and was about to speak when he also smelled the faint fragrance.
The two looked at each other, and Ye Shu smiled and said, "Go in and take a look. If there's anything you like, I'll bring some back for you when you leave."
The master and disciple were no longer polite and walked straight in.
When Han Chunming just opened the door, it was still pitch black inside. As soon as the two of them entered, the lights came on.
Mr. Guan was dumbfounded when he saw the situation in the wine storage area. It was full of wine, lots and lots of wine.
At the entrance are rows of shelves filled with cylindrical glass wine jars that are about 30 to 40 centimeters long.
It is about 50 to 60 centimeters high, and there are a lot of things soaked inside.
Looking further inside, you can see many large wine vats in the distance, also lined up in rows.
Han Chunming said, "Master, is the wine here enough for the people of Sijiu City to drink for a year?"
"That should be enough!"
The two walked over to the shelf and saw that there was a label under each wine jar, which stated the year of the wine, the medicinal materials soaked inside, and the effects after drinking it.
Han Chunming walked for a distance and stopped to look at the label. It said 1960 pure grain wine, fresh deer blood, high-quality cordyceps, and rock sugar.
Effects: "Nourish the skin, delay aging, resist fatigue, improve memory, nourish the kidneys, and strengthen yang."
Note: "Not suitable for people with yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire, pregnant women, and children."
Grandpa Guan was also looking at the label. He looked at the jar of wine. It was tiger bone wine. Its effects: "removing wind and dampness, strengthening tendons and bones, and replenishing qi and blood, etc."
After he finished reading it, he looked at the label of a jar of wine next to it, which read "Tiger Whip Wine"...
He walked a distance and looked at other labels, such as wolfberry ginseng wine: "Pure grain liquor, ginseng, wolfberry, rock sugar, cooked rehmannia."
"It has the effect of greatly replenishing vitality and keeping nerves in check. It is mainly suitable for symptoms such as sore waist and knees, lack of appetite, fatigue, palpitations, and forgetfulness."
Health-preserving wine: "Danggui, wolfberry, longan pulp, a drop of shochu, and white wine."
"It has the effects of strengthening the body, preventing diseases and maintaining health. It is suitable for symptoms such as dull complexion, forgetfulness, palpitations and insomnia caused by blood deficiency and essence deficiency."
Kidney-tonifying and waist-strengthening medicinal wine: "Curculigo, Epimedium, Actinolite, Beehive, Cistanche, Eucommia, Achyranthes, Scolopendra, Dipsacus, Cynomorium, Yellow Dog Kidney, Polygonatum, Cornus, Lycium barbarum, White Peony Root, Licorice, has the effect of tonifying the kidney, strengthening yang and strengthening the body."
After looking for a while, they came to the large wine vat area. There were a lot of wines here that they had never heard of before. The ages ranged from a few years to hundreds of years.
It can be said that the further you go, the older the vintages are, and there is also a row of medicinal wine racks at the innermost part.
But what was written here made the two of them doubt whether it was true or not.
On each jar of wine, there is only a short sentence, "Anti-aging wine", which can make a forty-year-old person return to the appearance of thirty years old.
There is nothing on it, like the previous recipe and detailed introduction information.
Ye Shu said, "What are you looking at?"
Han Chunming said, "Brother, is what's written on the label here true?"
"Of course it's true. Let me give you a try and you'll know. Look at the pimples on your face. It won't heal in three to five days, right?"
"Well, it will take at least a week to get through, and after these are gone, there will be others popping up."
Ye Shu took out two porcelain wine cups from the cabinet under the shelf. They looked like miniature versions of small bowls.
He took two wine cups from the tap of the glass wine jar, handed them to the two of them and said, "Try it and see how it goes."
Mr. Guan first smelled it and was very surprised. He smelled it again unconfidently, then took a sip, smacked his lips and said, "Good wine! Good wine!"
"Haha, now I know why you said the wine out there is just average!"
"I thought you were a bit hypocritical at first, but I didn't expect that I was just so shallow!"
Leaf Book…….
"You're worrying too much! These wines are not sold outside. They are all passed down from my family!"
"Usually, I only give it to relatives and friends for tasting. It has never been sold, so you haven't heard of it!"
"How do you feel now? My wine is not just delicious, don't you feel anything?"
