Chen Xiaoyan looked at him curiously and asked with concern: "Senior brother, what are you planning to do?"
Looking at the two girls in front of him, Li Xiuyuan thought of Xiaohua from the Nangong family in Xuantian Temple, and he didn't know whether he would marry Wuyou in the end.
And the wine he taught her to make should be unique in the Buddha City. After all, he and his master, the alcoholic, had both left the Five Realms.
Do you want to leave a strange woman who can brew spiritual wine in Tianyun Mountain?
Thinking of this, he looked at her and said with a smile: "I am preparing to make wine for the teacher. Do you want to learn? It's easy."

Chen Xiaoyan was stunned, looked at him and asked, "Senior brother, aren't you going to Daxue Mountain? Why don't my sister and I come up to see you off?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "Let's make the wine for the teacher first, and then we'll talk."
Chen Xiaoyan opened her mouth slightly, remembering the proud laughter of the old man in the library one day, looked at him and asked: "Senior brother, can I learn it too?"
Originally thinking that Li Xiuyuan was about to leave Tianyun Mountain, Chen Xiaoyan still felt a little sad, but she didn't expect that her senior brother would teach her how to make wine at this time...
"Follow me for a few days. After I leave Tianyun Mountain, you can try more on your own."
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said: "Wine-making is just like practicing swordsmanship. If you practice more and work hard, it won't be difficult."
Chen Xiaoyan looked at him and sighed quietly, and said softly: "Then I will try it with my senior brother."
"Let's not talk about wine making, let's talk about cooking."
Li Xiuyuan put firewood into the stove and said, "Don't you and Xiao Ling'er like to eat my barbecue?"
"Have you ever tried marinating with different aromas? For example, if I add guli incense, you can try adding a little apricot blossom in spring and osmanthus in autumn. If I add too much salt, will you think about it yourself? Put less?"
Seeing Chen Xiaoyan and Xiao Ling'er in a daze, Li Xiuyuan continued: "Also, I only marinated the spices for half an hour. Maybe if you let it marinate for half an hour, it would be more delicious."
"Or, why don't you just put nothing on it and just sprinkle a little salt on it after roasting the meat?"
"For example, if you like salty food and the person you like likes light food, do you want him to eat salty food like you? Or try to change your habits and become lighter like him?"
"Or you can persuade him to take a step back, and he becomes a little saltier, and you become a little lighter... You have to keep trying when making wine. The taste of each tank of the wine I make will be different... ....”
Chen Xiaoyan was stunned by what he said and was speechless.
She didn't expect that there were so many details about barbecue, and that it could be compared with brewing... So what about the swordsmanship she practiced?
"Senior brother, is it possible that brewing wine and practicing swordsmanship are the same?"
Chen Xiaoyan looked at him, feeling as confused as a mess of hemp rope. In the blink of an eye, she was going to learn how to make wine from the boy in front of her again?
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, looked at her and replied: "You can try it. For example, you can use seven or six points of strength to chop the snowflakes in the wind with the same posture..."
"Try different speeds, a little faster, a little faster... Slowly, a little slower... There is actually not much difference between practicing Tao and making wine and barbecue."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the gradually rising fire and said quietly: "With a fire like this, putting more firewood or less firewood will make a big difference. What about dry firewood and firewood that has been soaked in the rain?"
When Chen Xiaoyan heard this, she covered her mouth and laughed: "Senior brother, if you want some tea, I'll cook it for you."
...
Taking advantage of the good spring weather, Li Xiuyuan taught Chen Xiaoyan how to make wine while instructing Xiao Ling'er to practice swordsmanship.
It took five days to brew ten jars of spiritual wine.
Because there were no apricot blossoms in Bamboo Peak, and the peach blossoms in front of Yaoguang Hall, Li Xiuyuan thought they were too greasy, so he finally used the young purple bamboo leaves picked from the bamboo sea.
This is the first time he has tried making wine from bamboo leaves
, smelling the faint fragrance of bamboo leaves, even Chen Xiaoyan who was helping on the side was amazed, saying that no one had ever seen anyone using bamboo leaves to make wine in Loulan City...
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said that wine making was the same as cooking and roasting vegetables. He wrote down the recipe for making wine and left the wine koji for her to purchase all the ingredients for wine making and try it slowly.
Xiao Ling'er watched the two busy making wine every day and liked it very much. She said that she would think of her brother when drinking in the future.
After brewing, Li Xiuyuan drove the two girls down the mountain, and he wanted to stay quietly for a few days.
After getting up the next day, he plowed several vegetable patches on the top of the mountain again.
Even if he leaves Zhufeng, the two masters can still eat these dishes, and a senior sister will also come back.
When he dug into the third vegetable patch, Meng Shentong came to him with Nalan Ruoyu.
Looking at Li Xiuyuan who was bent on digging in the ground, Meng Shentong asked: "Has the treasure I want brewed? Why are you thinking about growing vegetables again..."
Li Xiuyuan did not raise his head, and replied while digging the ground: "After the disciples have finished plowing these fields, they are going to make tea. Once the vegetables are planted, Master can ask the senior sister to come up, pick them, fry them and eat them."
Nalan Ruoyu looked at him and asked, "You are leaving in a blink of an eye, what else are you going to plant?"
Li Xiuyuan raised his head, glanced at her, and replied, "Spring is here, so we can't let this cultivated vegetable field go to waste."
Nalan Ruoyu was stunned, then looked back at Meng Shentong and said, "Let's make tea first and leave him alone."
Meng Shentong looked at him and said, "Hurry up, I'm waiting for your surprise!"
"Don't worry, teacher, surprises are waiting for you!"
Li Xiuyuan lowered his head and continued digging the ground. Chen Xiaoyan had already brought the seeds up the mountain for him, and he had to hurry.
If you plant it before you leave, it won't be long before the master who stays here can eat the vegetables you grow.
Nalan Ruoyu looked at him and said, "Junior sister Jinglan will be back in a few days. Let the two of them come up to take care of the vegetable fields here."
Li Xiuyuan, who was digging the ground, was stunned, raised his head and said with a smile: "Just in time, one more person will come up to water and fertilize!"
When Meng Shentong heard this, he quickly pulled Nalan Ruoyu away and said, "Hurry, you don't have much time!"
Before they finished speaking, the two walked towards the bamboo shed.
Li Xiuyuan scratched his head and murmured to himself: "Isn't it mid-spring? There's still time for everything."
He shook his head and continued to smooth the vegetable patch, took the weeds to the cliff and threw them away. He looked up at the sky and thought to himself, are you really good at picking the time?
I walked to the mountain spring to wash off the dirt on my body, and then walked into the bamboo shed.
Hearing Li Xiuyuan's movements, the old man placed the food he had brought and quietly placed three drinking glasses on the table.
"Show me your surprise." The old man looked at him and said with a smile.
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "I just dug the ground, and I won't be able to plant it until tomorrow..."
When Nalan Ruoyu heard this, she smiled and said, "Where's the surprise you gave us?"
Li Xiuyuan did not speak, but took out a small urn from the bamboo stand, patted it away and slowly poured it into three cups.
As the wine entered the glass, a fragrance spread out in the bamboo shed, surprising the two people sitting at the table.
Meng Shentong impatiently picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then stared and was speechless for a moment.
Nalan Ruoyu looked at his exaggerated expression and couldn't help but shake her head. She picked up the wine glass and put it between her lips and sniffed it. Then she couldn't help but take a sip, and then she was speechless.
Li Xiuyuan did not speak, but picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip gently.
Then he sat at the table with the same expression as the two of them, stunned and speechless.
"This is the taste of Zhufeng..." The old man looked thoughtfully at the half glass of wine in his hand.
Nalan Ruoyu nodded and asked: "You use the leaves of purple bamboo to make wine, why haven't I heard of it?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at the two
The man replied softly: "Actually, I wanted to use apricot flowers... I had no choice but to try it with the young leaves of purple bamboo."
Nalan Ruoyu was shocked. She didn't expect that the surprise Meng Shentong gave her was even more shocking than she imagined.
Meng Shentong looked at him and murmured: "How much wine did you make? What will we do if we can't drink it in the future?!"
Nalan was the same. He looked at him and asked, "This is not a magic medicine, but a poison. Are you trying to kill Master?"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, sighed and said: "I didn't want to either, but I accidentally agreed to the teacher... Fortunately, I have already taught my junior sister..."
This time it was Meng Shentong's turn to sigh, looked at Nalan Ruoyu and murmured: "This child... you are trying to scare us to death, your junior sister has also learned..."
"Do you know that if this wine is sold in Loulan City, people will start to steal it?"
Nalan Ruoyu then took another sip and looked at the two of them and said excitedly.
"Isn't that good? It just so happens that senior sister has learned it." Li Xiuyuan said calmly: "She can use this skill to revive the Chen family in the future."
"You haven't thought about it." Meng Shentong shook his head and sighed: "These days, if anyone is willing to teach others some unique skills, you'd better do it!"
Nalan Ruoyu gave him a strange look and said, "That makes me feel relieved. Where is the wine?"
"It's rare that this kid has a conscience, so he's not wasting his time worrying about you."
Meng Shentong looked at his disciple and smiled, his eyes full of love.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the two men and shook his head and said: "The wine is stored in the cave. I advise you not to be anxious. Leave it to next year. After the changes of spring, summer, autumn and winter, that is the fine wine..."
Seeing the unwillingness of the two of them, Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "You guys can't bear it any longer, we really can't wait for summer...Junior sister should continue brewing in the Yaoguang Palace in a few days."
In his opinion, with Chen Xiaoyan, how could the two people in front of him lack wine?
After thinking about it for a while, Li Xiuyuan looked at the two of them and said, "I'm afraid the disciples won't be able to make wine again in the future. If the master and others know about it, I won't be able to practice anymore."
This is the reason why he has been reluctant to take action. He is here to experience and practice, not to make wine in Xuanwu Continent.
Nalan Ruoyu couldn't help but sigh when she looked at him, and asked quietly: "Tell Master, how many secrets do you still have?"
That night, Nalan Ruoyu, who drank a jar of spiritual wine, went to Yaoguang Palace early alone.
Meng Shentong stayed in the bamboo shed and chatted with Li Xiuyuan until midnight, then clapped his hands and left with a jar of wine.
Both of them followed Li Xiuyuan's advice and placed the brewed wine in the cave for aging, waiting to drink the new spiritual wine that Chen Xiaoyan was about to brew.
For Meng Shentong and Nalan Ruoyu, they have plenty of time to watch Chen Xiaoyan brew and improve while brewing.
...
It was lightly raining in the morning. Li Xiuyuan was lying in the bamboo shed, bathing in the spring breeze of the mountain, smelling the faint fragrance of flowers in the wind. Before he woke up from his dream, little Ling'er broke in.
Little Ling'er, holding a bamboo leaf in her hand, woke up Li Xiuyuan from his dream, looked at him and said with a smile, "Sister is already helping my brother catch bugs in the vegetable field."
Li Xiuyuan opened his eyes, looked at her and smiled: "Why so early? Is something wrong, little Ling'er?"
"Xiao Ling'er is fine, sister is in trouble!" Xiao Ling'er put the snacks she brought on the table and ran out of the bamboo shed and shouted: "Sister, come up quickly, brother was woken up by Xiao Ling'er."
Chen Xiaoyan, who was catching bugs in the vegetable field, raised her head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, wait for me to catch a few more bugs."
Putting on his long gown, Li Xiuyuan went to fetch mountain spring water to wash himself, then received a pot of water. He looked at Chen Xiaoyan squatting in the vegetable field and said, "Come and drink tea."
