Chapter 75: Chapter 75, lonely lamp, chanting scriptures
Returning to Qingfeng Temple, Ning Fei picked the grapes one by one, put them into the basin, and washed them clean with water.
The Little Fox was next to him, acting coquettishly to Ning Fei again.
This white fox was very clingy.
The Little Falcon stood on a high place, silently looking at Ning Fei.
Foxes were carnivores. They ate mice, fish, frogs, birds, insects, and the like, and also ate fruits.
Ning Fei saw that the little fox was cute, so he threw it one or two grapes. The Little Fox took the grapes with its mouth and ate them. It seemed very satisfied.
Ning Fei waited for the grapes to be washed and dried naturally before he started brewing.
“To make fruit wine from grapes, you must choose the grapes that have just ripened. Unripe grapes will have a astringent taste when brewing, and those that are too ripe will have precipitation.”
“Then, threshing, crushing, and removing the stalks. Here, you must pay attention. Red wine needs to be fermented with skin, while white wine needs to be crushed, squeezed, and fermented with juice.”
As Ning Fei processed the grapes, he explained at a leisurely pace.
What he did not know was that most of the netizens’attention was not on how he told everyone how to brew wine, but on the process of his brewing.
A Taoist priest wearing a long robe was concentrating on brewing fruit wine, which in itself was very enjoyable to watch.
Moreover, Ning Fei’s hands were long and straight, which was undoubtedly more attractive to some girls who controlled their hands.
The world was so big, and everyone cared about different things. For example, men had leg control, waist control, collarbone control, foot fetishism, and of course, they liked to knead dough and so on.
Women were generally good-looking, and they also liked abdominal muscles. There were many people who controlled them by hand.
After Ning Fei finished the grapes, he took out the wine jug that had been cleaned and sterilized at high temperature. He put the grapes in, added white sugar, fruit wine starter, and so on. After a whole set of operations, it looked exceptionally professional.
“The suitable fermentation temperature for grape wine is 20-25 degrees Celsius. In this way, the main fermentation can be completed in about seven days. If it’s 15-20 degrees Celsius, it will take half a month.”
“After the main fermentation is completed, the grape wine will need to be filtered, pressed, clarified, and sterilized.”
After watching Ning Fei’s operation, the netizens were amazed.
At this time, Ning Fei took out another bag of apples. The apples were bought on the way back from the supermarket. They were also used to make fruit wine.
“The brewing of apple wine is similar.”
“The longer the time, the more flavorful the wine. The wine and apple wine sold usually need a year to ferment.”
“But I prefer the time when the fruit wine was just brewed. It was sweet and had a little taste of wine. In the past, there was an old man selling fruit wine in Qinshan village, but he left later.”
“When I was young, my master would occasionally brew some. My master’s level was relatively poor, and the fruit wine he brewed was sour and bitter. Later, after I researched and understood it myself, I brewed the fruit wine myself.”
Listening To Ning Fei’s narration, the netizens were momentarily entranced.
Some stories did not have so many climaxes, but they were still fascinating.
Ning Fei slowly narrated the interesting story of brewing wine. Coupled with the scene at this moment, the whole thing was like a beautiful painting.
The pace of life was too fast now. Many people yearned for this kind of unrestrained life, but it was just a yearning.
Society was like a clockwork machine that operated continuously. Everyone was a cog. As long as you were in it, there would be countless cogs that forced you to keep turning.
Unless you had the financial strength or saw through everything, you didn’t have to pay for reality, and you could pursue your dreams without any scruples.
Ning Fei’s live broadcast allowed the netizens to feel that this kind of life was real.
In this way, they would be able to relax physically and mentally.
“Abbey Dean Ning, tell us about your master, the previous Abbey Dean of Qingfeng Abbey!”
“Yeah, do you know where he went?”
The netizens became curious again.
“My master, he went to live the life he wanted to live,”Ning Fei said with a smile.
Ning Fei knew that the netizens liked to fantasize. They guessed that his master must be an unworldly expert who lived in seclusion deep in the mountains. Or perhaps he was a figure like the old celestial master or the sweeping monk in an anime.
But in reality, his master was just an ordinary person. He was ancient and warm-hearted, and at the same time, he greatly respected traditional culture and Taoist heritage.
How could there be so many unworldly experts in the world? They just had their own lives.
After the preparation work for the fruit wine was done, Ning Fei sealed the wine jar and sterilized it. Then, he put the wine jar into the cellar.
“The temperature in the cellar is very suitable. After seven days, I will be able to drink the fruit wine that I brewed myself.”
Ning Fei clapped his hands in satisfaction.
There were some things that were as interesting as the process and the results.
For example, when the students gathered for a barbecue in the wild, some people liked to sit there and wait for the barbecue to be done. Some people liked the barbecue process, spreading seasoning while controlling the barbecue to be evenly heated, it also had a different flavor.
At this time, it was already getting late. From picking grapes in the afternoon to making wine, he had spent a lot of effort.
In the evening, he went to Grandma Wang’s house to cook. The broadcast stopped for an hour before he came back after eating there.
It was midsummer now. The most comfortable time on the mountain was when the Sun had just set. The evening breeze was blowing, making people feel particularly cool.
Ning Fei sat in the courtyard under the eaves and took a scripture book from the book collection. He sat there and began to recite it silently.
Chanting morning lessons and evening lessons every day. If it was a regular large-scale Taoist temple, these were the systems that were adhered to every day. However, Ning Fei had lived like this with his master since he was young. His master had never required him to recite scriptures at a specific time every day.
Some things worked when one’s heart was sincere.
Of course, his master would also require Ning Fei to recite the scriptures every few days to learn about the origins and inheritance of Taoism.
Ning Fei sat cross-legged. Little Fox saw that there was a gap between Ning Fei’s legs, so it crawled between them and lay comfortably on Ning Fei’s legs. Its hind legs were retracted, and its legs were extended forward. Its head was resting on its front legs, and its eyes were narrowed. It did not take long for it to fall asleep.
The Little Falcon also flew onto Ning Fei’s shoulder. The Little Falcon was still in its infancy. It was not very big, but it already had the bearing of a king.
This scene was also very beautiful.
Under the starry night, the wind blew. There was a lone lamp in the courtyard. A Taoist priest was chanting scriptures. The White Fox was lying on his legs, and the Falcon was standing on his shoulders.
It was as if these two animals had a spirit and were listening to his teachings.
The netizens were also stunned by this scene.
There were no exaggerated performances or eye-catching movements, but this scene was something that the people who had lived in the city for a long time had never seen before.
It was like a scene that could only appear in a fantasy.
There were only two animals now. If there were other animals in the future, what would the scene be like when the Taoist priest recited the scriptures?
“Look, the little falcon seems to be listening to Abbey Dean Ning reciting the Sutras?”
“So is the little fox. Look how soundly she sleeps!”
“Why did I suddenly think of the rat spirits who stole the oil lamp of Buddha in journey to the West?”
“Because those two rat spirits are very beautiful. I still remember them.”
“Haha, do you mean that the little fox and the little falcon are ready to become immortals after listening to the sutras?”
“Although it’s a little surreal, this scene is really similar!”
“It’s magical.”
“I want a Fox like this too.”
The netizens were very excited because this scene was too beautiful.
When the man saw Ning Fei’s live stream, he thought that Abbey Dean Ning was amazing. The process of reciting the sutras had the feeling of becoming immortals.
When the woman saw Ning Fei’s live stream, she thought that he was so handsome. He was really so handsome. He was such a handsome man.
At the same time, in the hanging kettle clinic, Jiang Xue was sitting in front of the computer, busy with her work.
Her Dou yin account and website B account had already received over three million followers in just a few days, and the video she made was the content of Ning Fei’s live broadcast.
It was not just a simple clip, but the background music and scene changes were added. Video clips mainly depended on the mood and overall feeling.
The video made by Jiang Xue was the most interesting. When people saw the video, they could feel Ning Fei’s coolness and calmness.
She was also the host of Ning Fei’s video editing that netizens liked the most.
Jiang Xue had told Ning Fei about this, and Ning Fei gladly agreed.
Usually, the host hoped that netizens would edit their own videos and post them on Douyin and website B to gain huge popularity.
For example, master Lu’s “Can you kill me with 18 cards? I’ll eat this video on the spot!”, PDD’s reverse smoking, Laughing Pig’s cry, Ma’s “Square fighting”, “Positioning”and so on.
There were also the recently popular “Lord heretic”, “Other people have trophies behind them, why do you have a flower pot behind them?”And so on.
Not to mention station B, these anchors had been active in all kinds of editing for a long time, which had invisibly increased their popularity.
The video that Jiang Xue was making now was about Ning Fei brewing fruit wine.
From the process of Ning Fei picking grapes to brewing wine, she planned to wait until the wine was ready before editing it. Then, a complete video would be done, and there would definitely be a lot of people who would like to watch it.
Like many die-hard fans, she spared no effort to accumulate popularity for Ning Fei.
Especially when she saw the scene of Ning Fei reciting the Scriptures, her heart was even more turbulent.
“Tomorrow, it should be acupuncture.”
Jiang Xue suddenly thought of it.
At this moment, a introverted girl like her was actually looking forward to taking off her clothes and lying in front of a man. This kind of humiliation made her particularly infatuated.
