Ancient Recipes

"Winemaking?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Weichu immediately became interested. "Judge Wen is quite the connoisseur of wine; he does seem to have some ancient remedies."

"Should I bring this to the gentleman to take a look later?"

He remembered that Judge Wen had left behind quite a few ancient recipes for brewing wine.

They said they were worried that someone might forget how to brew this wine, so they collected some ancient recipes.

If the recipe is ever lost, he will try to pass it on to someone who is destined to receive it.

After all, many people regularly visit the City God to offer incense and prayers, and with so many people making requests, there are bound to be many demands.

Some people who have accumulated Yin Merit, or whose ancestors were great philanthropists, will also receive some favors from the City God.

In this way, these things become useful.

"Oh? Is Judge Wen easy to talk to?"

Fang Zelin's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, but he then asked another question.

"We are beings beyond the ordinary; taking a few mundane things is no problem for us."

Zhang Weichu knew these rules well.

These things are usually kept in the library; if given to ordinary people, it would certainly violate the laws of the Underworld Bureau.

However, giving it to someone like Fang Zelin, who cultivates immortality, is not a problem and does not violate the laws of the Underworld Bureau.

"Therefore, once the fine wine is brewed, some will be sent to everyone in the Underworld Bureau."

Fang Zelin was aware of the rules in the Underworld Bureau, but felt that he should at least ask a question, as it was a matter of courtesy.

"Judge Wen is a man who enjoys wine, but he hasn't had a good drink in a long time. If you have some good wine, sir, he will surely like it."

At this point, Zhang Weichu chuckled.

Those ancient prescriptions have all been lost.

However, by this time, no suitable person had been found to inherit these ancient formulas.

No one in Anzi County possessed such Yin Merit, leaving Judge Wen quite helpless.

As Zhang Weichu was speaking, a thought suddenly struck him, and he quickly stood up. "The Underworld Bureau has summoned me, so I must depart now. I will bring the ancient prescription to you later."

After saying that, Zhang Weichu hurriedly left.

"Giggle."

Zhang Weichu had just left when several pheasants nearby began to squawk loudly.

Fang Zelin turned his head and saw several pheasants chasing after an insect.

Knowing they couldn't escape, the pheasants stopped trying to run away and instead began foraging for food.

Lingyu, who was standing to the side, had also finished her session, and Fang Zelin leaned closer to take a closer look.

Seeing that the spirit rice below had grown much thicker and stronger at this time, the spirit rice that had grown out had begun to bend the rice ears.

The clusters of rice ears were extremely full, with a few raindrops still clinging to them, giving them a vibrant appearance.

"Indeed, the amount of spirit rice that has grown this year is significantly more than last year. It looks like we'll have a good harvest this year."

Fang Zelin examined it closely and noticed that the spirit rice had clearly grown more spirit grains compared to last year.

There are also many more rice ears now.

Judging from this, the spirit rice doesn't seem to be fully mature yet.

With more care, it should grow even taller in the future.

"Splash!"

As the rice spirit listened to Fang Zelin's words, it swayed its body, sprinkling the raindrops from its ears onto the ground, as if responding to Fang Zelin.

"Unfortunately, once you mature, I must go to seek immortality. After I leave, I will no longer be able to use the Lesser Cloud and Rain Technique to nourish you. You will have to wait for my return."

Seeing Lingdao's response, Fang Zelin couldn't help but smile inwardly.

As soon as the words were spoken, the rice stalks swayed violently once more.

The rice stalks swayed gently, like waves, as the wind blew across them, creating a scene of soft, yielding beauty.

By this time, the sun had already set behind the distant western mountains, bathing everything in a golden hue.

But it was dusk.

"The sunsets here are truly captivating, you can never get enough of them."

Fang Zelin stood by the Yongding River, looking up into the distance.

After cultivating, Fang Zelin's eyesight improved significantly; even standing here, he could see the wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys in the distance.

Although he couldn't see the specifics, Fang Zelin guessed that at this moment, many people were probably packing up their farm tools to go home.

Barefoot on the ridges of the fields, I followed the oxen slowly home.

The ancient prescription that Zhang Weichu mentioned was delivered to the stone table outside the house the following morning.

When Fang Zelin got up, he didn't see Zhang Weichu there, so he must have had something important to do and left without lingering.

Looking at the ancient prescription on the stone table, Fang Zelin waved his hand to cast the Lesser Cloud and Rain Technique while picking up the prescription to examine it.

"Clear as Empty."

All Things in Spring.

Asparagus Tuber Wine.

"Cloud Dew".

"One Point Brew."

"Wow, there are so many ancient prescriptions!"

Fang Zelin looked at it carefully, then smacked his lips in surprise.

Previously, Zhang Weichu mentioned that there were many ancient prescriptions, but Fang Zelin only listened to them.

I just feel that having one or two would be nice.

When the other party delivered it, I was surprised to find that it contained so many ancient prescriptions.

Further down are reviews of these vintage wines.

Judging from its appearance, it seems to have been left behind by that Judge Wen.

Clear as Empty, this wine is mellow and has a sweet aftertaste. Most importantly, it is extremely difficult to brew. When the wine is ready, it is poured into a bowl and it is as if there is nothing there. The wine has a slightly sweet taste.

There was once a master brewer who created a superior brew called "Clear as Empty), which, when placed outdoors, could create a space within a bowl.

It is one of the finest wines among those tasted.

All Things in Spring, like a bowl of spring wine. The wine is light green, not very dark in color, and has a strong aftertaste. It is long and full-bodied on the palate and has a purity that other wines do not have.

"These all look like good wines."

"They're not easy to brew, but thankfully the instructions here are detailed."

Fang Zelin took a closer look. The ancient recipe was quite clear, outlining what to pay attention to during the brewing process and how to brew it.

However, not much of the spirit rice will be left after the harvest; it can only be used to brew one type of product.

As for the others, we'll brew them when the opportunity arises.

Fang Zelin looked through them one by one, preparing to select a suitable one for brewing.

After making your selections, you'll also need to buy the brewing equipment mentioned above.

Fang Zelin hesitated for a moment, then finally fixed his gaze on Clear as Empty.

It seems this wine is more suitable.

After making his selections, Fang Zelin immediately got up and headed towards Anzi County.

He planned to go to Anzi County to purchase the ingredients needed for brewing. This year, the rice ripened relatively quickly, so he wanted to buy the brewing materials early and store them in advance.

Fang Zelin, dressed in a blue robe, walked along the official road, with lush trees lining the riverbank beside him.

Summer will be here soon.

When summer arrives, the weather will get hot and dry.
