Li Qingyu quickly added, “Yaqing, we understood your good intention. This gift is too heavy. We can’t accept it.”
Wu Yaqing said, “How about this. I’ll treat everyone to a al in the county next ti.”
In order to not make Wu Yaqing feel bad, Chu Qingzhi agreed. “Ok, let’s do it the day after tomorrow.”
“Alright.” Wu Yaqing had promised Qingzhi not to expose her identity. Now that she had exposed her identity, she felt guilty.
After a mont of silence, the atmosphere returned to relaxed and happy. Everyone took the gifts and dispersed, planning to go back to their room and take a closer look at it.
Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang carried the box to the stable and sat on the rock to open it.
Yuan Hongjun lowered his head and looked at the box on his lap. He was excited and expectant. “Little Abalone, what do you think Master will prepare for us?”
Bao Linjiang held the gift box and licked his lips. “You’ll know when you see it.”
Yuan Hongjun grabbed Bao Linjiang’s hand. “Let’s open it together.”
Bao Linjiang nodded. “Okay.”
“One, two, three…”
After the two of them counted to three, they opened the box together.
Yuan Hongjun cried out excitedly, “Wow, wow, wow. It’s actually the gallbladder and poison sac of the Red Bamboo Snake. This snake is very poisonous, but it’s not easy to find. Where did Master get it?”
Bao Linjiang was also extrely excited. “Master is too aweso. She actually got so many!”
“Little Abalone, there is a small box.” In his excitent, Yuan Hongjun saw a small box at the edge of the big box. “Master has prepared two gifts for us.”
Bao Linjiang also saw it. He held the small box in his hand. “Hongjun, what will be inside?”
Yuan Hongjun shook the box. “Let’s open it.”
“One, two, three…”
The two of them opened the small box.
Yuan Hongjun almost couldn’t control his excitent. “Oh my god, Master actually prepared a set of golden needles for us!”
It was not that they did not have the money to make golden needles, but it was a hundred tis harder to make golden needles than silver needles. When gold was polished, it was very easy to get uneven on the surface. Even an old craftsman who had worked for decades would find it difficult to make a set of golden needles.
A set consisted of 49 golden needles. Each of them was even and the size was just right.
These golden needles were made by Chu Qingzhi using the thod of weapon refinent. She had even modified them with spiritual power. Even if they were used every day, they wouldn’t wear off.
Other than the golden needles, there were also many dical tools in the small box. Chu Qingzhi had modified them with her spiritual power, and they were all high-quality.
After the two of them saw the gifts, they realized how good Chu Qingzhi was to them. The two of them imdiately ran to look for Chu Qingzhi. “Master, thank you.”
Chu Qingzhi looked at her two little disciples and said with a smile, “You helped take care of Third Brother and did your best to teach Fourth Sister dical skills. It’s only right for to reward you for your hard work.”
The three of them looked at each other and smiled.
Chu Qingzhi waved at her two disciples and walked towards the storeroom where the ice cream bar was placed. “How’s the beer?”
Yuan Hongjun said, “Master, we placed the beer into the wine jar after fernting for ten days according to what you said. We added a small amount of sugar to fernt it for the second ti. After fourteen days, we placed it in the ice cream bar storeroom to preserve it. After that, we haven’t done anything.”
Chu Qingzhi nodded. If they followed the steps, there shouldn’t be any problems.
She walked into the storeroom and brought out a jar to place on the stool.
“Qingzhi, why are you carrying wine?” Tang Jinghong had just gone to inspect his new house. He had been in the northern border for almost two months and the house was already completed. When he returned, he saw this scene.
Chu Qingzhi waved at Tang Jinghong and gestured for him to co over. “This is beer.”
Tang Jinghong’s interest was imdiately piqued. He quickened his pace and walked closer. “Can I drink it now?”
Chu Qingzhi nodded and opened the seal.
Four pairs of eyes imdiately looked into the jar.
The beer Chu Qingzhi brewed was malt beer. As soon as the mud seal was removed, a strong malt fragrance surged out. Chu Qingzhi was pleasantly surprised when she slled it. The other three were unfamiliar with this sll, but they felt that it slled good.
Yuan Hongjun brought over a few bowls. “Master, try it.”
His movent attracted the attention of the Chu family.
Chu Qingzhi filled four bowls of beer. The beer was golden. Judging from the color, it was a success. “Drink it.”
With that, she drank first.
The taste of the beer was refreshing and llow.
After she drank it, Tang Jinghong and the two disciples also drank a bowl.
Chu Qingzhi’s eyes curved. “How is it?”
Tang Jinghong took a sip and then another. “It’s very refreshing. There’s a faint sweetness and a hint of bitterness. It tastes rich.”
Yuan Hongjun imdiately expressed his opinion. “The beer has a very strong malt fragrance and a strong fragrance of hops, but it slls very pleasant.”
Bao Linjiang continued, “It stimulates the tongue, like poking it gently with a thin needle, but this stimulation is just right. It’s very comfortable.”
Chu Qingzhi glanced at the three of them. “Do you think the people of the Daling Dynasty will like this taste?”
Tang Jinghong said, “I think they’ll like it. Moreover, the beer tastes very cool. It’s perfect for this season.”
It was early August and was still very hot.
Chu Qingzhi said, “That reminds of sothing. 1 think this beer will taste even better when it’s cold.”
“Fifth Sister, I’ll take it to my friend’s restaurant and let the custors try it to see how well they can accept it.” Chu Xuhua took a bowl and tasted it. The taste was llow and refreshing. He was captivated in an instant.
Chu Qingzhi thought for a mont and nodded. “Brother, let everyone try it for free.”
Chu Xuhua nodded and agreed. “Okay.”
Chu Qingzhi moved aside. “Everyone, try it. If you like it, we’ll open another jar for dinner later. Everyone, drink to your heart’s content.”
Chu Qingyan tugged at Chu Qingzhi’s sleeve and said with so yearning, “Fifth Sister, can 1 drink too?”
Chu Qingzhi lowered her head. “Sure, but don’t drink too much. There’s so alcohol in the beer. You might get drunk.”
Chu Qingyan nodded heavily, “I know.”
Wu Yaqing heard the commotion in the backyard and walked out of her room. Seeing that everyone was gathered together, she beca even more curious. “What are you guys doing?”
Ge Lihua was also attracted.
Chu Qingyue waved at the two of them. All the friends Chu Qingzhi brought back were treated sincerely by the Chu family. “Drink beer. Do you want to drink it?”
The two of them were puzzled.
What is beer?
Wu Yaqing walked over suspiciously. She looked at the wine jar and scooped a bowl for Ge Lihua. Then, she scooped another bowl and drank it in small mouthfuls..
