After getting the monkey wine, Bai Yutang hurried back.

The way back was not as slow as when he came, he walked and searched.

With his strength, he rushed back to the town in less than half a day.

After returning to the town, he changed into Taoist clothes again and went straight to the Du Family Winery.

At this time, in the Du Family Winery, the owner of the Du Family sighed with a sad face.

Originally, the Du family had brewed a batch of new wine and it was time to put it into the cellar.

But this strange thing happened.

What's more troublesome is not that the new wine can't be stored in the cellar,

but the thousands of jars of old cellars that were stored in the cellar before have lost their wine taste inexplicably.

This is fatal.

Without the old cellars, what can they sell to those picky old gourmets!

How many old customers will switch to other families at that time?

The loss of business this time cannot be measured in money,

"Master, there is a Taoist priest outside, saying that there is something wrong here, and he can solve it."

A waiter outside ran in to report to the head of the Du family,

"Oh? Quick! Come in!"

When the head of the Du family heard this, he hurriedly asked him to invite the man in,

He had no choice. All the wine in the wine cellar lost its smell overnight, and he couldn't find the reason. Now he had to try as long as there was hope,

And thanks to this world, Sometimes some strange things appear,

People from all the major Taoist sects, especially those from Maoshan, set up Taoist temples or charity houses everywhere to protect their areas. Generally speaking, they have a high degree of trust in Taoist priests.

Soon, the waiter brought Bai Yutang in.

When the head of the Du family saw that Bai Yutang was so young, his enthusiasm instantly cooled down.

"Young Taoist priest, where is your master?"

The head of the Du family was still holding the hope that the young man in front of him would run in first in case of a hurry.

"Mr. Du, I came here alone. "

Bai Yutang's words made the Du family master sigh. He thought that reinforcements had come, but he didn't expect it to be a young Taoist priest.

He immediately wanted to ask someone to give him some money to send him away.

"Mr. Du, don't be disappointed in a hurry."

Bai Yutang looked at the Du family master with a smile.

"I came here to do good deeds, and I don't want to take a penny."

"You don't have to worry that I'm a liar."

"So let me give it a try, and I won't lose anything. How about it?"

"Forget it, little Taoist priest, you Come with me."

The Du family master sighed. Since he didn't charge money, he was probably not a liar. At most, he was just an unskilled person. He might as well give it a try. He still had a hope in his heart.

Bai Yutang followed the Du family master into the winery and walked all the way to the backyard.

The winemaking master who followed behind quickly walked to the front and opened the cellar, leading them down.

This wine cellar was extremely spacious, without the cramped feeling of an ordinary basement.

It was filled with emptied wine jars.

"Little Taoist priest, look,This is the wine cellar of our Du Family Winery."

"Originally, these wine jars were full of wine."

"But half a month ago, for some reason, these wines lost their wine smell overnight and became as bland as water."

"Later, the new wine we put in also lost its wine smell overnight."

"I don't know what happened. ”

The winemaking master sighed as he looked at the empty jars.

Bai Yutang began to observe in the wine cellar.

It was very clean here, with nothing but wine jars.

However, there were a lot of murals about winemaking on the surrounding walls.

Bai Yutang watched the characters on the murals select fine grains,

then make koji, use the koji to ferment the grains,

then boil it in a big pot for distillation, and the wine drips into the wine jar through the bamboo tube.

Finally, the characters on the murals lifted up the wine jars and put them into the wine cellar for storage.

Seeing Bai Yutang carefully looking at the murals, the Du family master who followed behind him did not urge him. He was originally thinking of giving it a try.

Without such great expectations, he would not be impatient.

However, Bai Yutang's next words made the Du family master suddenly open his eyes wide, and even his breathing became a little faster.

"Found it. "

Bai Yutang stared at a wine jar on the mural,

"What? Found it?"

The head of the Du family quickly approached Bai Yutang,

"Where? What is it?"

He was now eager to know what had caused the Du family winery to suffer such a huge loss,

"It hasn't shown up yet, just wait and see what I can do. "

Bai Yutang took out the thousand-year-old ancient vine cup from his saddlebag.

The moment the ancient vine cup came out, a clear wine aroma with a strong fruity flavor spread in the wine cellar.

The head of the Du family and the winemaker turned their eyes to the ancient vine cup in Bai Yutang's hand.

They were all experts in wine and could easily distinguish the quality of wine.

Just by the scattered wine aroma, they knew that this was a rare and peerless wine without tasting it.

Both of them couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

Bai Yutang handed the wine cup to a wine jar on the mural.

Just as the two were thinking about what this was going to do, ,

The hard surface of the mural actually moved like water waves,

A white and fat silkworm-like thing the size of a little finger,

After this thing came out of the mural, it stared at the monkey wine in the ancient vine cup with its two black sesame eyes,

Then it impatiently launched itself into the ancient vine cup,

Then a sizzling sound of drinking came from the ancient vine cup,

The head of the Du family went forward to see,

The strange little bug was drinking in the cup with its head shaking,

"Is this the thing that caused the problem in my Du family's wine cellar?"

The head of the Du family looked atThe little bug inside that looked harmless,

"It's this little guy."

Bai Yutang carefully put the ancient vine cup back into his bag,

"Mr. Du, I have already caught the culprit, and my merits have been done. I will take my leave now. We will never meet again."

After saying that, he hurried out of the cellar,

The fussy look made the Du family master stunned,

"Why does it look so familiar?"

The low muttering of the winemaking master beside him startled the still stunned Du family master,

"Old Zhao, what do you mean familiar?"

"Back to the boss, it's that bug, I feel very familiar. ”

The winemaking master racked his brains to think about where he had seen it before,

“I remember it!”

The master clapped his hands and said, “That’s the wineworm recorded in ancient books!”

“Legend has it that this wineworm is the essence of wine. If you put it in clean water, it will turn the clean water into fine wine!”

“What?”

The head of the Du family widened his eyes when he heard the master’s words,

As a winemaking family, he naturally knew this legend, but he never thought that the white, fat and harmless little thing was actually a wineworm,

For winemakers, this thing is simply the relics of the Buddha in Buddhism and the handwriting of Confucius in Confucianism!

"Why didn't I think of it just now!"

"Otherwise, I would have bought it even if I had spent all my wealth!"

"Quick! Go and invite the little Taoist priest back!"

The head of the Du family asked the clerk to chase him quickly,

"I'm afraid it's too late."

The wine-making master shook his head,

"I heard that there is a kind of people who are good at identifying and taking treasures. Their whereabouts are uncertain. They will appear wherever there are treasures. People call them treasure-holders."

"I think the little Taoist priest is a treasure-holder."

"This kind of person will disappear after getting the treasure, and you can't find him."

Sure enough, the clerk who went out just now came back and said that he didn't find the person. After asking around, he found that the person had already left the town at full speed.

The head of the Du family slapped his thigh and sighed that he had lost a lot of wealth.
