59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

Twelve minutes before the dinner was to start, Hu Yunxuan and Huo Zhilan rushed back. Hu Yunxuan drove, and Huo Zhilan brought some braised meat made by the chef of Zhongnanhai and a few bottles of "imperial wine".

"Auntie, I got first place in the exam!"

Chen Li sat at the kitchen door and waited for a long time, and finally waited for Huo Zhilan to come out. Before Huo Zhilan got out of the car, the little girl ran over to show off her grades.

"Oh, Lily, you are amazing! I knew you must be good at studying, but I didn't expect you to be so good. Little Huo Ling and Little Wen Jin can't compare to you."

"Hehe, yeah, I'm smarter than them."

"Haha, I like your confidence. You are not timid at all. We women should be like this. We should be number one, so we shouldn't be modest. Brother Bayi is too modest. He is not as direct as you."

Huo Zhilan praised Chen Li so much that her tail almost stood up in the air.

Hu Yunxuan smiled and picked up the braised meat and wine in the car. Hu Bayi took them. Old Hu smiled and said nothing. He naturally knew his son's grades and patted his son on the shoulder.

In fact, Hu Bayi was very envious of Chen Li for being praised by the whole family, and envied the little girl for being able to get the whole family's satisfaction by acting coquettishly.

But he is a little adult after all, and he is already satisfied when his father pats his shoulder.

"Okay, come in and talk first. It's cold outside."

Entering the large round table in the kitchen, Huo Zhilan glanced at the table and asked, "Grandpa Kaixuan, aren't your parents coming?"

"I don't know." Fatty Wang said somewhat dejectedly.

Although he said that in the afternoon, he still hoped that they could come.

"I'll drive to pick them up." Huo Zhilan said with a smile, "It's good to see progress. Take it slow. Good grades can't be achieved overnight. Work hard little by little. Later, Kaixuan will be able to go to military school."

"No need, I believe Lao Wang will come." The old man unscrewed the cork of the wine bottle.

Huo Zhilan brought several bottles of wine, including three bottles of Fenjiu, all of which were 15-year-old cellar-aged, the old man's favorite type.

With the transformation of industrial brewing technology, which has replaced traditional inefficient manual work, state-owned wineries have very high output. However, in terms of quality, the taste of the new wine has actually declined due to the use of alternative grains.

Ordinary people may not be able to taste it, but people who drink alcohol all year round can clearly distinguish it.

Especially after the old man took the Tibetan sea flower insect medicine, his five senses became more acute, and he became less and less fond of new wine, and preferred the products before industrial transformation.

There is actually a difference in the nutrients in the wine under the old winemaking method.

Fenjiu is brewed using barley and peas as raw materials through a complex fermentation of three types of koji: Qingshao, Houhuo and Hongxin. In the event of natural disasters across the country, it is naturally impossible to continue using expensive barley and peas.

The winery can only develop cheap alternative grain fermentation, and the specific formula is strictly kept secret.

"Then wait a few more minutes. If he hasn't arrived by eight o'clock, I'll go and urge him." Huo Zhilan said hurriedly.

Zhou Qing hugged Chen Xing and said with a smile: "I was worried that you wouldn't be free. You just returned to Sijiu City and there will be a lot of things to do."

"No, no, I don't need to take care of the resettlement of the Northeast expedition team members." Huo Zhilan smiled bitterly: "Ninety-two people set out, but only seven made it down the mountain alive. Now they are all recuperating in the Northeast Sanatorium. I am here to report the situation in advance."

Chen Jianjun looked at her in surprise.

"This loss is too great!"

He asked some elders curiously, this expedition team is not just about the few top people who want to live forever, so isn't Changshengshan curious about the Zhang family's secret of immortality?

impossible!

In the team of ninety-two people, the Zhang Haike brothers and sisters from the Zhang family branch were only guides, or half guides at that.

Because according to Zhang Qishan, only the head of the Zhang family had been to that place, and the elders had only heard about it.

Zhang Qiling had been there, but he had lost his memory!

The other members include representatives from Changsheng Mountain. Five masters represent the Changsheng Mountain lineage headed by the Chen family, a dozen are from Changsha's Old Nine Gates, more than fifty are from various military factions, and the rest are professors of archaeology.

Now it’s all ruined!

"That's right. Even the team leader almost didn't come back. It was Zhang Haike who carried him back." Huo Zhilan smiled bitterly again.

She had prepared herself mentally beforehand, knowing that there might be great danger inside, so she was extremely curious but she suppressed her curiosity. However, she didn't expect it to be so tragic.

Fortunately, I didn't go, otherwise I would have been stuck in there like the other three in the tribe.

The old man was very calm. He had never been to Changbai Mountain, but he knew the place.

In the business of tomb robbing, especially for factions with a tradition of inheritance, everyone knows that there is a big tomb in Changbai Mountain, a super big one. The Zhang family did not stay in the interior of the country, but ran to the northeast to squat in the snow and ice, just to guard that big tomb.

Since ancient times, our ancestors have been curious, but those who went there never came back.

This is a bloody lesson that tells everyone not to challenge the Zhang family and not to explore the Changbai Mountains in Northeast China.

Back then, the Tomb of General Pingshan almost destabilized the foundation of the Chen family in Changshengshan. The Worm Valley in Yunnan directly killed thousands of elite members of the Chen family, so that his eldest brother was completely devastated.

When you go to a tomb, especially a large one, you will not be treated differently just because you are an archaeologist or a tomb robber.

For both the tomb owner and the tomb keeper, they must be killed!

"How will the higher-ups respond?" Chen Jianjun couldn't help but ask.

"Don't say anything. Let's just eat today to celebrate Lily getting first place in the exam!" The old man interrupted the topic and said to Chen Li who was listening curiously, "Lily, quickly ask your elder brother to open the soda bottle."

"Hehe, Grandpa, it's open!" Chen Li said happily, pointing at the soda bottle in front of her.

While they were talking, Chen Feng had already opened a few bottles of iced soda.

The wine glasses and dishes were all prepared on the table. When it was almost eight o'clock, footsteps were finally heard outside the door.

The old man opened the kitchen door and laughed and hugged old man Wang who came in.

"Good evening, old man."

Mr. Wang arrived at this time with his son and daughter-in-law, and brought some things with him.

"I was worried that you were too busy, and now you're here finally."

"Something delayed me." Grandpa Wang Kaixuan explained and praised Chen Li, "Lili, you're amazing. You even got first place in the exam!"

"Hehe, Grandpa Wang!"

Chen Li happily ran over to greet him.

"Oh, my little Wenquxing has become so beautiful!"

"Haha, grandpa is good-looking too!"
