Uncle Jiu: I am Chen Yulou, the leader of the Xiangling gang

Chapter 9, Snake Medicinal Wine

After pouring four bowls of wine, Qiu Sheng picked up a bowl and placed it in front of Uncle Jiu. He smiled at Uncle Jiu and said, "This is for you, Master!"

Then, he picked up a bowl of wine and placed it in front of Chen Yulou and said with a smile: "This is for you, Junior Brother!"

"We can drink this wine today, it's all thanks to you, Junior Brother!"

Wencai also echoed, "Yes, yes, Junior Brother, this wine is so precious to Master. He himself is reluctant to drink it during festivals. Last year, when Senior Uncle Simu and we secretly drank a little, Master scolded him and made him run away, and even made us kneel for three hours!"

Seeing that Wencai described him as a miser, Uncle Jiu's face darkened again. He glared at Wencai and scolded him, "You're the only one who talks too much!"

"Those of us who practice Taoism, although the sect's rules and regulations prohibit alcohol, should still drink less and indulge in less entertainment."

Uncle Jiu glanced at Qiu Sheng again and scolded him again, "Besides, your uncle Simu has achieved great success in his cultivation, so it's understandable that he occasionally indulges in food and drink. But you two, on the other hand, haven't made any progress in your cultivation, but you spend all day eating, drinking and having fun, with no ambition to make progress."

Wencai immediately looked away in fear.

Qiu Sheng, however, had already become incredibly thick-skinned, and he quickly said with a smile, "Master, my junior brother just arrived, and we don't teach people at the table, but you warned us."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu glared at Qiu Sheng, then looked at Chen Yulou and said with a smile, "Yulou, don't mind me. I'm angry because your two brothers are so disappointing."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou could only smile awkwardly. He quickly stood up, picked up the wine bowl, looked at Uncle Jiu and said, "Senior Lin, I toast to you!"

"Sit down, sit down, there's no need to be so formal!" Uncle Jiu waved his hand to signal Chen Yulou to sit down, and happily raised the wine bowl and clinked it with Chen Yulou.

Chen Yulou drank first as a sign of respect.

To his surprise, the wine was not strong at all, but rather mellow and fragrant, with a fragrant medicinal aroma.

This surprised Chen Yulou a little.

After all, this wine is light yellow in color like rice wine, and it doesn't have much aroma. It looks ordinary, but after you take a sip, it's like fairy wine.

After Uncle Jiu put down his wine bowl, he stared at Chen Yulou and asked with a smile, "Yulou, how about this wine?"

Chen Yulou nodded quickly and said, "Senior Lin, this wine may look ordinary, but it tastes like a fairy wine."

Hearing such praise, Uncle Jiu immediately smiled heartily.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yulou asked again, "Senior Lin, is this medicinal wine?"

Uncle Jiu nodded immediately and said, "It is indeed medicinal wine!"

He glanced at Wencai and Qiusheng again, then smiled at Chen Yulou and said, "The reason I treasure this wine like a treasure and am reluctant to drink it is mainly because it is brewed with over a hundred kinds of medicinal herbs over the course of three years, and also because two of the main herbs are so rare that they are hard to come by."

Chen Yulou immediately showed curiosity.

Although a hundred or so kinds of medicinal herbs are already precious enough, they should not be so precious that Uncle Jiu would treat them as treasures.

Seeing Chen Yulou's curiosity, Uncle Jiu continued, "The first flavor is from a snake demon with nearly four hundred years of cultivation. As the saying goes, a snake becomes a dragon after five hundred years. The snake in this wine already possesses some of the characteristics and power of a dragon."

Chen Yulou suddenly showed a look of surprise.

This wine was actually brewed by a snake demon that was about to transform into a dragon?
No wonder, after just a small bowl of wine, he felt that the energy in his dantian had become much stronger, especially the speed of circulating the small circulation seemed to have increased.

Wencai and Qiu Sheng were also stunned, especially Wencai, who lowered his head blankly, looking at the wine in the bowl and swallowing his saliva continuously.

"Of course, this snake demon was eliminated by the sect. I only took some of its tendons and bones. But even so, this medicinal wine can cure diseases and prolong life for ordinary people. It can also increase the Taoist practice a little bit, which is helpful for cultivation!" Uncle Jiu explained.

"As for the second medicine, although it is not as good as the snake demon's, it is also very precious. It is a seven-hundred-year-old ambergris, which was found in the snake demon's lair."

"In the outside world, this seven-hundred-year-old ambergris is comparable to a thousand-year-old ginseng. It is worth a fortune and is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

They are all good things indeed!

Chen Yulou quickly stood up, clasped his fists, and saluted Uncle Jiu, saying, "Thank you, Senior Lin, for your kindness to me!"

Uncle Jiu was able to bring out such a peerless immortal wine, which showed how much he valued himself. Uncle Jiu smiled and immediately looked at Chen Yulou and said, "Yulou, although this wine is precious, it is nothing compared to you."

"I hope that after you become my disciple, you can inherit my legacy. Not to mention this snake and dragon medicinal wine, even if it's something more precious, as long as I, Lin Jiu, can take it out, I can take it out."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou sighed inwardly, saying that Uncle Jiu was indeed one of his favorite film and television characters before he traveled through time, and that he was a truly likable person.

This couldn't help but make Chen Yulou feel a little touched. He immediately said, "Please rest assured, senior. I, Chen Yulou, will never let you down!"

Uncle Jiu nodded and raised his hand to signal, "Sit down, sit down quickly!"

After Chen Yulou sat down.

Qiu Sheng quickly picked up the wine jar and filled the wine bowls of Uncle Jiu and Chen Yulou.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Qiu Sheng!"

"You're welcome, Junior Brother!"

……

Chen Yulou picked up his wine bowl again and stood up. He looked at Wencai and Qiusheng and said, "Two senior brothers, if Yulou does anything inappropriate in the future, please bear with me!"

"I toast to my two senior brothers!"

Wencai quickly stood up and picked up the wine bowl. When he heard Uncle Jiu say that this wine was so precious, his mouth was already watering.

Qiu Sheng picked up the wine bowl, looked at Chen Yulou and said with a smile: "Junior brother, you are too kind. Since we are brothers, we should naturally tolerate each other more in the future."

Chen Yulou nodded. The characters of Wencai and Qiu Sheng often caused trouble for Uncle Jiu because of their cowardice, greed or ignorance of rules, but they did not do so out of malice, but more out of ignorance or character flaws. So they might be stupid people, but definitely not bad people.

Therefore, he didn't dislike the two of them (it was just because of the plot), and then he said, "Two senior brothers, please!"

"Junior brother, please!"

"Junior brother, please!"

……

Seeing the three of them toasting each other, Uncle Jiu smiled.

He accepted Chen Yulou as his disciple, and naturally hoped that the three brothers could live in harmony and even be loyal to each other in the future.

Seeing that the three of them had finished their drinks, Uncle Jiu immediately looked at them and said with a smile, "Everyone sit down and have some food. Although it is a medicinal wine, drinking on an empty stomach will still hurt your stomach."

"Yes, master!"

……

After Chen Yulou sat down, he picked up a piece of potato shreds with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. He was a little surprised and immediately looked at Wencai and said with a smile: "Brother Wencai, your cooking skills are good! These spicy and sour potato shreds are really delicious!"

This is not to praise his literary talent. Although the shredded potatoes were cut in a standard way, the taste was really amazing, comparable to the shredded potatoes his mother fried before he traveled through time.

After all, he has been eating shredded potatoes for decades, and his mother's is the best.

"Really?" Wencai was rarely shy when he heard the compliment, and looked at Chen Yulou with surprise.

Chen Yulou nodded and said seriously, "It's really delicious. The shredded potatoes are definitely not inferior to those of the chefs. With this cooking skill, there is absolutely no problem opening a restaurant."

When Wencai heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, because he did have the idea of ​​marrying a wife and opening a restaurant. After all, after searching for a wife, he found only one advantage, which was that she could cook.

Uncle Jiu smiled knowingly when he saw Chen Yulou easily win Wencai's favor.

Next, the meal was naturally full of conversation and laughter. Not only did Wencai and Qiu Sheng accept Chen Yulou as their new junior brother, but even Uncle Jiu liked Chen Yulou even more.
