Heitu Chen: A Craftsmanship Spanning Time and Space

Set in the 1945 battlefields of Northeast China in the world of “Bright Sword,” the story begins as Ding Wei is trying to brew liquor. Liang Xiaoman, a master brewer's apprentice, transmigrates there carrying his master's notes and the Temperature-Controlled Crescent Moon Pot. He uses ancient methods to overcome the northern region's impossible brewing conditions, weathering crises such as old starter cultures losing their potency, local superstitions, and a shortage of supplies on the front lines. With each warming cup of fine liquor, he helps shore up the troops' support. From a young craftsman entrusted with a desperate task, he grows into a pivotal force that affects the course of the war. Amid the flames of battle, he also uncovers the Crescent Moon Pot's thousand-year-old secret, writing a thrilling tale of a triumphant comeback. Along the way, northern and southern cultures collide and merge, brewing skills are honed and refined, and those in the liquor trade deepen their understanding of sauce-aroma liquor culture and their professional standards.

In short, after a busy day at work, set out a few small dishes and a pot of sauce-aroma liquor. Sip as you read, gripped by every twist in the plot, and let your heart mingle with the culture of brewing. As the liquor's flavor puts you at ease, you'll reach the end of a chapter and find yourself asking, “Hurry up and update!” Don't worry, the next chapter of “Black Soil Chen: A Craftsman's Heart Across Time” is coming right up.
