An hour passed, and a barrel of lees was almost steamed, and the wine was slowly flowing out of the outlet. Chen Xu asked several craftsmen to lift the steamer down and quickly spread the lees to cool down, and then put them in the second barrel of lees to continue steaming.

Half a day passed by, and after steaming four barrels of wine lees in total, they got more than 200 kilograms of wine. Chen Xu ordered not to continue steaming the wine, and arranged all the steamed white wine to the winery to deliver to his house.

These liquors are not mainly used to drink, but are used to continue to purify and use them as industrial alcohol as fuel for experiments.

However, it is not easy to control the purification of this ordinary large pot to steam. It requires a more precise still and dehydrated substances. Chen Xu still needs to study these things slowly for a period of time.

However, it is now the turn of summer and autumn. Although Chen Xu doesn’t like to drink strong wine, he can make a few pots of medicinal wine first, and then take a few sips in winter and get some for the emperor.

The entire Marquis' Mansion was naturally very interested in Chen Xu's unemployed work and not being a prime minister. He did not work hard for a few days to get more than ten jars of white wine. Not only did a group of guards and housekeepers come to taste it, but even Xia Zijin and Shui Qingrou couldn't help it. After tasting it, they all blushed and went back to the room to sleep.

The news that Chen Xu made a clear and mellow fairy wine in the winery quickly spread throughout Xianyang. Countless kings, princes and ministers couldn't help but come to ask for something. Meng Yun and other groups of playboys were no exception. However, after each came and drank two or three sips, they were all carried back onto the carriage. The wine was so magnificent, it was really like the news from the winery. It was not for ordinary mortals to drink at all. It would get drunk after smelling it, and it would die if you drink too much.

Two days later, the glass factory sent Chen Xu some glass wine jars worth about five kilograms. Chen Xu personally poured white wine and soaked two jars of prepared wolfberry, deer antler, ginseng, tiger whip, etc. After thinking about it, he felt that he was indeed not talented in soaking wine, so he asked Xu Fu to prescribe two pairs of tonics to strengthen the body, promote blood circulation, and unblock the meridians. In this way, nearly half of the more than 200 kilograms of white wine were used.

Chen Xu personally sent half of the soaked medicinal wine to the palace. After the emperor tasted the white wine, his beard and eyebrows shook for a long time before he came back to breathe.

"Aiqing's wine is indeed extraordinary. It's like drinking hot soup and your stomach is warm, but it's too strong. I'm afraid you'll get drunk after half a cup!" Qin Shihuang's face turned red and exclaimed.

"Your Majesty, this wine is the product of purifying ordinary turbid wine. This wine is a few pounds a day, so it is easy to get drunk. However, I have put some medicinal materials to strengthen the body in this wine. In late autumn and cold winter, you can drink a little a day. It can not only promote blood circulation and unblock the meridians, but also help sleep and sleep. But remember not to drink too much, otherwise it will not only make mistakes and damage the body after getting drunk!" Chen Xu reminded.

"I have written down my words and I will definitely not drink too much!" Qin Shihuang nodded, and then couldn't help asking curiously, "Is this method of making wine and purifying is also taught by the Heavenly Book?"

"That is, this method of brewing wine is written by Qimin's key techniques. The theory is not profound. It only requires steaming and cooking to obtain such a mellow and rich wine. In order to get good wine, you still need to steam three and three wines. This wine is just a steamed head brew. It tastes extremely pungent and can only be used to make medicinal wine. When the wine from two steamed and two wines comes out, the taste will be soft and mellow. At that time, I will send some to your Majesty to taste it!"

"It's so good, but does this wine have any origin in the heavenly books?" Qin Shihuang took a sip of the wine and seemed a little dizzy. He had always been very interested in Chen Xu's three heavenly books by Taiyi Immortal Lord.

"Haha, since Your Majesty asked, I will not hide it. This wine does have an allusion in the Heavenly Book, and there is also a very bizarre myth, so this wine is also called the Eight Immortals Drunken!"

Since it was taught by the Heavenly Book and the emperor had a hobby of exploring the Heavenly Book, Chen Xu didn't mind praising the wine so that the cowhide he had blown from the beginning could be more self-justified.

When the emperor heard the word "God" and woke up most of the time, he grabbed Chen Xu's arm and stood up excitedly: "Let's go, I'll accompany me to the back garden. I want to listen carefully to the allusion of the drunk Eight Immortals."

So Chen Xu had to go to the back garden with a wry smile again, with the emperor intimately. The hand-held actions were full of love, which made the palace eunuchs and even the concubines who passed by were all standing respectfully on the side of the road, with envy in their eyes.

Every time as long as the Qinghe Marquis enters the palace, the emperor will inevitably feel extremely comfortable and go to the back garden to chat with him.

The emperor had never been so intimate with all the wives, concubines, and princesses in the harem.

Although it is the turn of summer and autumn, the weather is hot and dry, and although the back garden is open and there are no big trees, the flowers, plants and ponds are lush. The king and his ministers sat down in the pavilion, and the palace maids were driven away by the emperor after serving tea.

All the books of heaven are secrets. No outsiders can know about the affairs of gods and immortals.

"Your dear, please tell me, what's the story of the Eight Immortals?" The emperor couldn't wait to ask after the palace servant retreated.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. In fact, everything contained in the Book of Heaven is unpredictable, and time and place cannot be traced. Therefore, after hearing this, your Majesty must not pursue the cause and source. It is like the Legend of the White Snake as a novel story..." Before telling the story, Chen Xu couldn't help but remind the emperor.

"Of course, I just want to say that, I will definitely be a novelist and I will not follow my words!" Qin Shihuang nodded seriously.

"That's great, then I'll tell you the story of the Eight Immortals..."

Chen Xu took a sip of tea and cleared his throat.

"The world is the fairy world, which is controlled by the Emperor of Heaven. Every ten thousand years, the Emperor of Heaven will convene the great and handsome gods of heaven to attend a feast, which is called the Peach Banquet..."

"What is the Peach Banquet?" Qin Shihuang interrupted Chen Xu's words excitedly.

"The so-called Peach Banquet means that there is a Peach Banquet in the fairy world. It is said that it is the back garden of Queen Mother of the West. There are some spiritual species of heaven and earth produced when the chaos first blooms. It is called Peach Tree. This Peach Tree absorbs the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth, and receives the essence of the sun and the moon. It blooms every three thousand years, bears every three thousand years, and then matures for another three thousand years. Every time the peach ripens, the Immortal Emperor and Queen Mother of the West will convene the gods in the heaven to attend a feast and taste the fairy peach. This fairy peach is ordinary people who only need to eat a bite and can live forever. They can smell the breath and avoid illness. But for the gods, eating a fairy peach will not escape the death disaster, but it can also increase their life by five hundred years..."

"Love, wait..." Qin Shihuang quickly interrupted Chen Xu's words and asked in surprise, "Can the gods die?"

Chen Xu nodded with a serious expression: "Of course, although the gods have escaped from the physical body, they are still under the control of the heavenly way. The heavenly way is immortal, and all things are reincarnated. Although the gods have cultivated the immortal body, they still cannot escape the death disaster. The Majesty of the Gods' List has seen that the twelve golden immortals can be cut off and the three flowers on the top fall into the mortal world, not to mention some small gods and immortals who are not good at doing well. Therefore, if the heavenly tribulation is not good enough, they will inevitably be wiped out and destroyed by the soul. This peach can stabilize the immortal body to resist the disaster. Therefore, every time the peach banquet is at the Peach Banquet, countless gods are proud to receive invitations from the Emperor of Heaven and the Queen Mother of the West."

"So that's it, the gods are not immortal..." Qin Shihuang's face twitched slightly, and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.

Chen Xu did not take the emperor's words, but continued to tell his own story.

"Every time the peach banquet, the heavenly court must be very lively. Many gods who live in the fairy island of the sacred mountain will go to the banquet. At a peach banquet, a group of wine-making fairy children secretly drank the fairy wine and got drunk and missed the matter, resulting in the gods who came to the banquet having no wine to drink. In a furious Emperor Tian demoted these fairy children to the mortal world and landed in a mortal country called Song!"

"Your Majesty, don't guess. This Song State has nothing to do with the Song State, which was enfeoffed by the Great Zhou Dynasty. It's just a mortal dynasty with no origin!" Chen Xu saw that the emperor seemed to be about to speak again, and quickly explained that the emperor could swallow the rest of the words back.

"The eight fairy children fell into the mortal world and became mortals again. Each of them had different situations. Some were born with officials and families who were rich since childhood, some were born with poor families and had no food and clothing since childhood, and some of them both died and became beggars. But they all grew up like ordinary children in the mortal world. However, they were fairy children after all, so they also had fairy weapons to protect their bodies after growing up. They began to show different from ordinary mortals. They practiced magic, killed demons and helped civilians in the human world, and therefore they were slowly called gods by the people of the mortal world. Temples of eight people were built in various places to worship and pray for blessings. These eight were originally fairy children who brewed wine in heaven, so they invented this method of making wine in three steam and three brews. Later, eight fairy children re-cultivated to the immortal path and ascended to heaven. In order to commemorate the eight immortals, they called this wine the drunk Eight Immortals..."

"So that's it. Drunk the Eight Immortals is indeed the art of making wine in the immortals!" The emperor nodded, and after a long time of silence, he spoke, "The weather is clear today and I have free time. Can you tell the story of the Eight Immortals more detailed?"

"Your Majesty wants to hear it, so I will tell you the story of these Eight Immortals. The head of these Eight Immortals is the sword immortal with the most profound magic. People call it Chunyang Zhenren, named Lu Dongbin. He practiced the sword technique of killing demons and killing countless demons on earth..."

The sun is strong, but it is extremely quiet. In Chen Xu's slow telling, not only Qin Shihuang was quickly immersed in the story of a bizarre god and demon, but even the noisy summer cicadas stopped hissing. Only Chen Xu could hear the mouth of a fairy that was well-known to later generations.

"The fairy mountain is separated by the sea of ​​clouds, and the jade belt of the clouds is connected. It is said that there are celestial immortals outside the world, so don't envy them. People work hard, so how difficult is there to have a happy park..."

An hour later, Chen Xu returned to the Hou Mansion with the theme song of the ancient Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea.

"Why are you so happy? What song are you singing?" Shui Qingrou, who was practicing swordsmanship in the garden, saw Chen Xu coming in and hurried forward to greet him.

"Haha, I just went to the palace to deliver wine to the emperor, but I didn't expect that the emperor would tell the story for an hour. Chunxiang quickly poured me some herbal tea. I was thirsty!"

"Yes, Marquis!" Chunxiang turned around and left to pour tea. Chen Xu took Shui Rou and sat around the wooden chair and looked around and asked, "Where did Shiman and Wan'er go?"

"Wan Niang went to the college, and it was sunny today. The princess took Xier to the construction site to see the Cuju repair venue. Senior brother and sister Zijin also went with her!" Shui Qingrou explained.

"Qingrou, you can also go out to relax, and you don't have to wait for me at home every day!" Chen Xu said with her arms around Shui Qingrou.

"My husband is busy every day, and someone needs to take care of him when he gets home. Qingrou also likes quiet. You don't have to worry about me!" Shui Qingrou said to help Chen Xu tidy up his clothes.

"Mr. Marquis, please have tea!" Chunxiang came out with a cup of herbal tea. Chen Xu drank it a few sips and said with a smile, "Today's free time, I will tell you a story of a god that you have never heard of before!"

"Is it the story my husband told the emperor in the palace just now?" Shui Qingrou's beautiful eyes lit up.

"Yes, the white wine I brewed this time comes from this story. The wine is called Zui Eight Immortals. What I tell is a story called Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea..."

Shui Qingrou especially likes to listen to Chen Xu telling stories. It just happened that she was a little lonely and bored when she saw Shui Qingrou today, so Chen Xu told the story she had just told in the palace again. When she heard Chen Xu telling stories, four little maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter quickly moved a small stool to sit around, holding their chins with their hands, and listening intoxicatedly.

Halfway through the story, Ying Shiman, Yu Wuya and Xia Zijin who were going out to play all came back together. When they heard a brand new story they had never heard before, they immediately surrounded them. Even a large group of maids and maids gathered together in the backyard, and they were fascinated by the hearing, and they burst into surprises from time to time. After Chen Xu finished speaking, Yu Wuya asked about the first half of the story. Several maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter began to explain in an ignorant way. The whole yard was very noisy and lively.

"The True Man of Chunyang, Lu Dongbin, walked on a sword and slashed demons and eliminated demons, which made people yearn for..." Yu Wuya looked full of admiration.

"Just just a novel story, you take it seriously, you are such a big idiot!" Xia Zijin looked down on her as angry as ever.

"How could it be a story? It's just that the immortals are cut off now!" Yu Wuya shook his head with a little regretful expression.

"Husband, why does this story of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea feel a little similar to Journey to the West?" Shui Qingrou couldn't help but ask while recalling the story.

"Well, it's not only related to Journey to the West, but also to the List of Gods. The gods and immortals are so sad that everyone can forget it after listening to it. Just like what Zi Jin said, it's just an ordinary story. Don't take it seriously!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Even the story is still fascinating. The immortals flew to the sky and the earth to travel around the sea. There must have been one of the fairy islands in the sacred mountain. I don't know if there were really East Sea Dragon Palace and East Sea Dragon King. Benefactor, when will we go to the East Sea again, or will it be interesting to sail on a boat on the sea. Xianyang is not fun at all now. I still want to wait for the garlic planted by my benefactor to mature, and then go to the beach to eat a steamed scallops that my benefactor told about garlic vermicelli…" Yu Wuya licked his mouth with a longing face.
