The small soldiers on the frontier at the beginning killed Liu Ye, the Han God of War, and Lu Lingqi

Hearing the noise, Liu Ye also came back from his immersion.

Turning around, he saw that the white-haired old man who was still sleeping soundly had woken up at some point.

At this time, he was carrying the wine jar and walking towards this side swaying left and right.

"Young man Liu Ye, I have met my old man."

Seeing that his host had woken up, Liu Ye quickly stepped forward to greet him.

The old man didn't say anything, he just looked Liu Ye up and down with a pair of drunken eyes, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.

"It's incredible. He has excellent bones and excellent understanding. I didn't expect that two unparalleled geniuses would appear at the same time in this world."

The old man raised the wine jar and took a deep sip, exclaiming in surprise.

"I've given you too much praise, but I don't deserve to be called a genius."

Liu Ye said this, but in his heart he was thinking about who the other peerless genius mentioned by the old man was.

"Well, you are indeed far behind him now, but you are still young, so there is no need to worry too much."

As the white-haired old man spoke, he suddenly turned his gaze to the black spurge in Liu Ye's hand.

When Liu Ye saw this, he secretly thought that it was not good and quickly explained: "Forgive me, I..."

"No need to say more." The old man waved his hand.

"A few days ago, I suddenly had a whim and made this black dragon halberd out of meteorite iron."

"Since then, I have been waiting for its owner, and today, the person I am waiting for has arrived."

Speaking of this, the white-haired old man looked at Liu Ye, and his meaning was self-evident.

"This..." Liu Ye was also a little confused. What about such a good thing? A quasi-magic weapon for nothing?

Is there something fishy here?

"What? You don't want it?" The old man raised his eyebrows.

"If you want it, it's said that elders can't refuse gifts. I would like to thank you for your gift!"

There is no reason to refuse the benefits delivered to your door.

Regardless of what's wrong with it, just get the thing in hand first.

"Wait a minute, when did I say I would give it to you? You have to spend money." The white-haired old man was anxious.

Good guy, just point to this halberd and exchange it for wine. You want to take it away without spending a penny. Then I drink the northwest wind?

"Um, I wonder what price I want to sell it for?"

Liu Ye scratched his head in embarrassment.

Yes, it’s nothing to be happy about. You still have to spend money to co-write. I just hope this person doesn’t talk too much.

"Since you are destined for this halberd, I won't ask for more. You can just give me a thousand taels of wine money as a token." The white-haired old man patted the wine jar in front of him, acting quite free and easy.

To be honest, one thousand taels is indeed not expensive. The key point is that Liu Ye simply cannot afford so much money now.

But if I really want to say that I have no money, I am afraid I will be kicked out on the spot, so I have to find a way to save the country.

Liu Ye rolled his eyes and suddenly caught a glimpse of the wine jar in the old man's hand, and he suddenly became aware of it.

"I don't dare to deceive the old man. I'm just an ordinary Yanmen Pass guy. I really can't afford so much money.

But I see that the old man seems to love drinking. If I can brew a jar of wine that is ten times as good as this wine, can it be worth the thousand taels of silver? "

There is no other way, it’s time to use the tricks used by the senior time travellers.

Come on out, modern winemaking!

Although the value of force in this world is very high, social productivity still remains at an extremely low level.

Take the wine-making process as an example. Not only is the wine produced extremely turbid, but the key alcohol content is also extremely low.

If it has 20 degrees, it is considered a fine wine of the world.

If he were to make a 50% liquor directly, wouldn't it be too much to call him a peerless fairy brew?

"What did you say?"

Sure enough, as soon as he heard this, the old man became energetic and came to Liu Ye in one step. The speed was almost as fast as teleportation.

【Master! 】

Liu Ye's heart condensed.

With this terrifying movement speed alone, it would only take one move for the opponent to kill him.

"Boy, the jar I have in my hand is the signature of Zuixianlou - Zui Chunfeng. One jar is worth 100 taels of silver. Are you sure you are not just boasting?"

The old man's eyes were full of doubt.

"If you don't believe me, why don't you do an experiment?" Liu Ye smiled mysteriously when he heard this, not panicking at all.

"What?" The old man looked confused, obviously not understanding what an experiment was.

Liu Ye didn't bother to explain. He just pointed to the wine jar in the old man's hand and said leisurely: "If I make this jar of wine more fragrant, will the old man believe me?"

……

Ten minutes later, Liu Ye was seen tinkering and building a simple distillation device.

In fact, the device is very simple, a large pot filled with water and a wooden barrel that is slightly larger than the wine jar and has good sealing.

Liu Ye first put the barrel in the pot, then put the wine jar into the barrel, and finally sealed the mouth of the barrel.

"Is that all right?"

Seeing Liu Ye starting to light the fire, the old man came over with a curious look on his face.

"It'll be ready soon." Liu Ye replied without raising his head.

What he is using now is actually the wine steaming method from the Yuan Dynasty. The principle is also very simple, that is, alcohol has a lower boiling point than water and is easier to evaporate.

There were supposed to be two wooden barrels, connected by pipes in the middle to facilitate the condensation of alcohol.

However, the conditions are limited, so we can only simplify it slightly, and the effect is similar. It is just that the alcohol content of the steamed out is lower.

As the water in the pot gradually boiled, a faint smell of alcohol began to waft out of the barrel.

Fortunately, this wooden barrel is well sealed and the alcohol that evaporates is not too much.

After continuing to burn for a while, Liu Ye estimated that the alcohol inside had basically evaporated, so he took the barrel out of the pot and poured cold water on it.

After pouring for about half a quarter of an hour, when the temperature of the wooden barrel completely dropped, Liu Ye opened the lid, and a strong smell of alcohol suddenly hit his face.

Well, that's what it tastes like.

"Hiss, what a strong aroma of wine!"

The old man, who had gone to the yard to take a nap, suddenly appeared in the kitchen, his nose twitching, and an expression of great enjoyment on his face.

"Don't worry, there's still one last step left."

Liu Ye looked at the barrel and saw that a layer of transparent liquid had accumulated at the bottom. He dipped some of it with his fingers and put it in his mouth.

"Hiss, so spicy."

Liu Ye estimated it to be 60 degrees.

"It seems it needs to be diluted a bit."

Pour out more than half of the remaining water in the wine jar, and then pour all the wine in the barrel.

"Done!"

Liu Ye clapped his hands, quite satisfied with his results.

"Okay? Hurry! Bring it to me to try."

"Wait……"

Before Liu Ye could say anything, the old man couldn't wait to grab the wine jar and took a big gulp.

Then he saw the old man suddenly froze, his face turned red, and Liu Ye was frightened when he saw that, for fear of causing harm to the old man.

"Cool!!"

After a while, the old man suddenly let out a loud roar, followed by a burst of hearty laughter.

"I have never drunk such strong wine in my life. Good wine, really good wine, hahaha!"

"Then this black dragon halberd..." Liu Ye reminded him at the right time.

"Take it, take it, but don't forget the wine you promised me."

"Don't worry, old man, the wine today is just a rough one. When I get back, it will be ready. I will make sure to brew a truly unique wine for you to taste."

Liu Ye never thought about making money by making wine, mainly because he didn't have the spare time.

But it’s a good choice to use as a gift.

After all, in ancient times, all capable people, whether they were literati or generals, did not love wine.

Since he has this advantage, if he doesn't make full use of it, his identity as a time traveler will be in vain.

"Then I'll take my leave now and come visit you another day."

In the courtyard, Liu Ye bowed to the old man and then walked out of the courtyard carrying the black dragon halberd he had just acquired.

I have to say that this trip was very fruitful.

Not only did he get a magic weapon, but he also got to know a master forger.

If he wants to dominate the world in the future, at least he won't have to worry about high-end weapons.

And with the fine wine hanging around, I am not afraid that this person will not work hard.

Stroking the halberd handle and feeling the cold touch from it, Liu Ye was in a good mood for a moment.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Liu Ye stopped and looked up at the two soldiers walking from the alley.

"Liu Ye, right? My master is inviting me!"
