Me and countless me.

Chapter 90: Linghu Chong's Distinction between Love and Hate

"Thank you, Junior Brother Ke! We can finally have a drink today!"

After taking the key, Linghu Chong's face and heart were filled with anticipation for the wine, and therefore, he basically couldn't stop smiling.

I couldn't help but think happily, "Junior Brother Ke is so happy, he must have seen that we are very greedy, and was worried that we would sneak down the mountain to drink and get into trouble, so he gave us the key to the warehouse. In this way, even if we drink a lot, Junior Brother Ke can make us look like we didn't drink that much, and Master won't blame us for being drunk."

Thinking of this, Linghu Chong couldn't help but think of the unpleasantness, jealousy and rifts that had occurred between him and Li Ke in the past. He couldn't help but curse himself, thinking that he was too petty.

Master has always admired elegance, and Junior Brother Ke likes reading and writing, and reading various classics, history, and collections of literature, so it is natural that Master will like him.

Moreover, my junior fellow apprentice has the same photographic memory as myself, and does not like drinking like myself, so naturally he is more liked by the master.

The grudge I had towards Li Ke instantly vanished, and I no longer felt any dissatisfaction.

Then, he thought that although his fellow apprentice brother Li worked very hard, his progress in martial arts was not very good and he must be very depressed. In addition, he must have been very bored from reading the Four Books and Five Classics. In addition, he wanted to ease the relationship between his fellow apprentice brother and Li Ke, so he spoke directly.

"How about this, Junior Brother Ke? The weather here is hot. Why don't you and I go to the waterfall and spring with the other junior brothers, drink good wine, sip sweet spring water, find some fruits, birds and animals, and have some fun together!"

He spoke happily, his eyes full of joy, while Li Ke shook his head.

He doesn't like drinking because drinking is not only harmful to the body, but also paralyzes the nerves and causes damage to the nerves and thinking ability.

Working people like to drink because they feel comfortable after drinking. This is because the alcohol in the wine can numb the nerves and reduce the uncomfortable feeling sent back by the nerves.

In addition, it can promote blood circulation to a certain extent, stimulate the brain, make people excited, and then make people fall asleep quickly. Naturally, it is something that tired workers like.

So it is normal that Linghu Chong likes to drink. After all, Linghu Chong is very diligent in practicing martial arts, so Li Ke understands it. However, this guy is a sentimental person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment, which leads to the fact that after he drinks, he always makes things worse.

Unfortunately, Linghu Chong is too clear about gratitude and resentment, too eager to see right and wrong, too emotional, and doesn't want to believe that the world is chaotic.

He and Yue Buqun are born to clash.

So Li Ke patted Linghu Chong on the shoulder, did not refuse, but just gave a reminder.

"Big Brother, being drunk won't solve the problem. Just like fine grape wine should be paired with a moonlight cup to reflect the grandeur of blood, and Fenjiu should be served in a jade cup to enhance its color and shape, different wines should be served in different cups, right?"

He was talking about what people should do, and as the eldest brother, he should consider the future of Huashan Sect.

but--

"My dear brother Ke! My dear second brother! You are absolutely right! Fenjiu should be served in a jade cup to enhance its color, and grape wine should be served in a luminous cup to reflect the general's heroic spirit! How come I didn't realize that you, my brother, are such a wine expert! Why didn't you say this earlier!"

Linghu Chong came to Li Ke excitedly, and couldn't help but put his hand on Li Ke's shoulder, his face full of excitement!
"Come on, come on! I must have a good drink today!"

Looking at his face distorted with excitement, Li Ke sighed in his heart.

If he said to Linghu Chong now, "This fellow is hopeless," his senior brother would probably look around in surprise and ask the answer.

"Good wine? Where can I find good wine?"

But he still decided to give some advice.
"Big Brother, wine is people, and people are wine, naturally..."

But before he could finish his words, Linghu Chong hugged Li Ke excitedly. "Yes! Life is as difficult as brewing wine! Brother! You are indeed my confidant!"

His cheeks were flushed and he felt as happy as if he had drunk dozens of jars of fine wine, which made Li Ke make up his mind.

Let him lead the Huashan Sect himself.

In the past, I didn't have the strength, so it was useless even if I wanted to. But now...

Li Ke smiled lightly, unfolded the design drawing in his hand, revealing a set of equipment for brewing alcohol, and then showed it to Linghu Chong.

"How can just drinking once be enough? Everyone likes to drink, but Huashan Sect doesn't have that much money. So I thought since everyone likes to drink, why don't we just make our own wine? Come, Big Brother, take a look at this winemaking equipment. If we can make it successfully, our Huashan Sect will have countless fine wines!"

Li Ke used the wine-making techniques he had learned in his daily life, which was more than enough for the Ming Dynasty's technical capabilities.

Linghu Chong's eyes immediately brightened.

"really?!"

He grabbed the blueprint and almost treated Li Ke as his own brother.

The drawings drawn by Li Ke were quite detailed, and explained the process and principles of winemaking in a way that ancient people could understand, making Linghu Chong's eyes light up.

He read ten lines at a glance, as if he was reading a divine book that could make people immortal.

Yes, in this era, not everyone can make wine.

"Okay, okay! Brother, you are indeed a great scholar! Let's get started without further delay. After we brew the wine, we can sell it and relieve some of the pressure on our master!"

His face was full of smiles, and it was obvious that he couldn't wait to start brewing wine!
And Li Ke also spoke at this time.

"Yes, the Huashan spring water is cool and sweet. I wonder how delicious it will be after being brewed into wine. And what kind of flavor will the wine brewed by hand have?"

Linghu Chong's eyes grew brighter as he listened. He could no longer endure it and immediately bowed to Li Ke.

"Then I'll trouble you, brother, to say a few good words to Master! It's better to say it later! After all, this is also a way for us to show our filial piety! Without further ado, let's go and create something to give Master a surprise!"

After saying that, Linghu Chong pulled Lu Dayou and a group of fellow disciples to the warehouse to get tools and wine, hoping to make the tools before the master found out.

As Li Ke watched Linghu Chong's anxious look, he understood more and more why so many senior masters in the original novel of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer liked Linghu Chong.

because……

He is really easy to fool and take advantage of.

"If you like drinking, then drink. The world is muddy and if you don't want to see it clearly, then just live like this."

Li Ke shook his head, holding the various drawings in his hands, and walked towards the hall where Yue Buqun was.
