Chapter 14 Eternal Maotai

When you approach this room, you can see a huge counter next to the door, and then extend to the other end of the room. This huge cabinet is full of wine. In front of this wine cabinet is a long table with a long bracket on the table. It is a transparent crystal cup. Haidong is a person who likes to drink. At first glance, he was attracted by the wine cabinet, and then suddenly leaned against the wine cabinet. Yu Ze and Piaoyu are indeed a pair of people who like delicious food. Next to the wine cabinet is a huge tea machine. The tea machine is full of dry food, Yu Ze and Piaoyu ate a little and found that the taste of these dry food was really good.

Haidong was curious about these crystal cups, because these crystal cups still seemed to be cool. Haidong picked up one. When Haidong picked up the first cup, he was shocked, because Haidong suddenly found that these cups were actually cold. Of course, each cup was cold, but this cup was even more ice. Cold, just like being made of ice, drinking such things is first-class. Every man has a desire to hope that his wife is as beautiful and the cup of drinking is as cold as ice. Obviously, this is satisfied here, so that Hai Dong couldn't help saying to himself, "I didn't expect to enjoy these three flavors of fire so much. The days are really wonderful.

Haidong walked to the wine cabinet with a cup, then casually picked up a bottle of wine and took it in his hand. Suddenly, he was surprised to find that this bottle of wine was different. Haidong knew what this thing was and was immediately surprised and couldn't help saying to himself, "Is this Eternal Maotai? I didn't expect to see this here."

At this time, Chukui had already walked aside, saw Haidong's expression at this time, then cut a sound, and said, "What's strange? Isn't it just a bottle of wine?"

Haidong immediately said to Chukui, "What? This ancient Maotai is a good product. It is said that it is a rare wine brewed in ancient times. There are only five bottles of such wine in the world. You have to read it carefully.

"It's not that I don't know, I said cut, which means that one of these five bottles of wine was drunk by me. In fact, I don't feel much? This is really enjoyable. In fact, every great man will have something to be envied by others," Chukui said.

"I really want to take a sip." Haidong said that his saliva was basically flowing out.

"You're welcome. You can eat and drink whatever you want. Anyway, this room of Lord Sanweihuo was also built to entertain guests. Everyone who came here in the Land of Water is our most precious guests, so just drink it." A voice came in from the door, which was full of softness, but it attracted people in the whole room to look out of the door. Only three people came in outside the door. Needless to say, one of them was a fire scar. Everyone already knew it, but the other two Yuze did recognize it. One of them was dressed in dark blue. Long run, with long hair and a delicate face, a pair of willow leaf eyebrows hanging under his forehead, but without losing the masculinity of a man, with a book business spirit on his face, strode in. The speaker was this person. This person came in, and there was another person next to him. This person was wearing leather armor, and part of his upper body was ** Come on, the thick muscles look so sexy under this leather armor, but this person's face is even more memorable. This person has a flat head, and his hair color is red, which is rushing upward. It looks like a burning flame. There is a long between the man's forehead and the eye bags under his eyes. The long scar came down vertically from the middle of the eyebrows, and I don't know how to keep this eye at that time. A long knife was diagonally across the man's waist. The knife had no scabbard, and there was only an iron ring clasped the knife and pinned next to the belt at the waist.

Seeing these people coming in, Hai Dong took a puff of smoke and smiled and said, "Oh? The fifth spirit of the Kingdom of Fire, the flying fire blade, and the third spirit half weed, didn't expect to see you here today.

"Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time." The image of the scribe is half weed. At this time, he came over, and then slowly took the wine bottle in Haidong's hand, then took four wine glasses, and then poured them all over the so-called eternal Maotai.

Fly Fire Blade saw the unrecognizable Yu Ze over there, so as soon as he sat down, he shouted out, "I'm the Fire Blade."

As he spoke, the half weed had filled four cups, and then motioned the four spirits present to raise the cups.

"Isn't that good? This may be a treasure of three flavors of fire. Isn't it too bad for us to drink like this? Haidong said with a smile, but his hand holding the glass was indeed the tightest.

"Don't you know the character of Lord Sanweihuo? Friends from all over the world are the most important. What is a bottle of wine? Besides, everyone came here for his business, didn't they? Don't worry about drinking."

Note: There were many power outages today, which caused the manuscript to not be finished on time. Maotai was actually written in the novel, so a paragraph was inserted.

As a Guizhou native, I have to talk about Maotai, a treasure of our Guizhou

Guizhou Maotai is uniquely produced in Maotai Town, Renhuai City, Guizhou Province, China. It is one of the three major distilled liquors as well as Scotch whisky and French Cognac. Since 1915, Maotai has won 15 international gold awards and won the title of China's national famous wine five times in a row. Together with Luzhou Laojiao and Xinghua Village Fenjiu, it is known as one of the three famous wines in China. It is the originator of Daqu sauce-flavored liquor.

[National Wine] Maotai Liquor is one of the three famous distilled liquors in the world. It is known as national wine and enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad. Produced in Maotai Town, Guizhou, China, it is made from local high-quality glutinous sorghum, wheat and water as raw materials, taking advantage of the unique natural environment and carefully brewing with scientific and unique traditional technology. Finally, it is added with any aroma and fragrance substances, which has been more than five years from production and storage to the same factory.

Maotai wine, known as China's "national wine", is named after Maotai Town (formerly a village) in Renhuai County, Guizhou Province, and enjoys the reputation of "the wind comes to thousands of families drunk, and the rain passes the bottle of ten miles of incense". This special fragrance is refreshing and intoxicating.

There are many legends about Maotai, the most beautiful of which is:

In thousands of years, there were only a dozen families in Maotai Village on the banks of the Chishui River. A rich man, with three large tile houses, is located high on the river, which is particularly conspicuous; the rest are poor, living in thatched huts, distributed by the river. People who live here have the habit of brewing wine. But at that time, whether rich or poor, the technology of brewing wine was very common.

In the twelfth month of a year, Maotai Village, with a mild climate in four seasons, had an exception and snowed heavily. Snowflakes are flying and fluttering, from night to dawn, from morning to dusk, and there is no intention of stopping at all. At this time, in the wind and snow, a ragged girl came down from the mountain and stumbled to Maotai Village with a wooden stick in her hand.

She walked to the door of the rich man's house and saw several helpers busy roasting wine in the bar, so she stopped; "Brother roasting wine, I'm cold all over. I want to drink wine to warm my body to keep out the cold."

When the helpers saw that she was as cold as a sieve and her teeth were teething, they quickly stopped their work and looked at her with pity. A helper picked up a bowl of earth, scooped a bowl of wine from the jar, and handed it to her: "Drink it quickly. The master will come later."

It's a coincidence. As soon as the girl took the bowl, the owner came out of the room. He raised his face, quickly grabbed the earthen bowl in the girl's hand, poured the wine in the bowl into the jar, and said aggressively, "Get out of here and don't talk here!"

The girl stared at him disdainfully, didn't say a word, and turned her head and left.

She walked along the slate road from the mountainside to the riverside to the hut. Under the eaves of a hut, she stopped. In the room, an old man with a white beard was using a band of wine. In front of the stove door, an old woman was making a fire. The girl greeted him and said, "Old man, all right."

The old man raised his head and saw a shabby girl standing at the door. He said pitifully, "It's snowy outside. Come into the house quickly!"

When the girl entered the room, the old man took her to the door and ordered his wife to make the fire bigger and let the girl sit by the fire. Then she went into the room, poured out the remaining wine, put it in a bowl and handed it to the girl: "Drink some wine first!"

The girl did not refuse. She took over the wine and drank it all and praised it repeatedly; "Good wine! Good wine!"

The old woman brushed the pot and made bowls and planned to fry rice for her. The girl stood up, quickly stopped her, and acted as if she wanted to leave. The old man hurriedly said, "It's already dark and it's cold outside. Where to go?"

The girl said, "If you don't have a home, it doesn't matter where you go."

The old woman put down the brush in her hand and came forward to take the girl's hand and said, "We are all poor. It happened that my daughter went to her uncle's house. You can live in her house!" With that, he took the girl into his daughter's room.

After a while, the old woman also fell asleep. The old man with white beard continued to drink wine. Wearing a hoop, he unconsciously leaned on the wine and fell asleep. He saw a fairy in a trance, wearing a five-phoenix sunrise hanging pearl crown, wearing a golden blind butterfly silk jacket, an emerald decorative pleated skirt, a red gold necklace on her neck, two big red ribbons on her shoulders, curling and standing in the colorful glow. She held the luminous cup in her hand and sprinkled the jade liquid in the cup on Maotai Village. Suddenly, a clear stream appeared, which fell straight down halfway down the mountain and into the Chishui River. Suddenly, the luminous cup in the fairy's hand disappeared again, holding a wooden stick in her hand. She scratched the stream between the three large tile houses of the rich man and the hut with a wooden stick, and then disappeared. Then, a familiar voice sounded in the old man's ear: "Let's use the water of this stream to make wine. Come on, the water is coming into the house!"

The old man with a white beard was shocked and opened his eyes. It was already dawn. He hurried into his daughter's room, and the girl disappeared, and everything was still the same. The gate is also well closed. At this time, his wife also got up: "Old man, don't you think it's strange? I dreamed of a fairy last night..."

Without saying a word, the old man quickly opened the door and saw a red sun rising thousands of miles in the east. A clear stream appeared at the edge of the village.

The old man excitedly took the water ladle, lifted the bucket, scooped a bucket in the stream, and used the water to make wine. In a few days, the wine came out. Once tasted, the color, fragrance and taste are excellent, which is really beautiful and fragrant. The old man looked for all the poor brothers. You tasted it, and I tasted it. Everyone praised: "Good wine! Good wine!"

Since then, people in Maotai Village have used the water of this stream to make wine. It's strange that the quality of the wine brewed by the rich is getting worse and worse, as if it was vinegared. The altar was sour and soon decayed. The wine brewed by the poor is getting better and better; it is clear and transparent, fragrant, and mellow and sweet. So far, the wine industry has flourished, and many business giants have come to buy wine here and sell it everywhere.

Later, in order to miss the "fairy", the people of Maotai Village took the "fairy holding the cup" as the registered trademark of Maotai and specially tied two red ribbons on the bottleneck to symbolize the two red ribbons on the fairy's shoulder.

Our Maotai wine, whose predecessor may be a prototype, entered the historical records in this glorious period of Chinese winemaking. Historical Records: Tang Meng, the envoy of Han Dynasty, ate the goji sauce in South Vietnam (present-day Guangdong) and returned to Chang'an to ask the Shu Jia people. The Shu Jia people said, "The goji sauce comes out alone, and many of them steal out of the city." Later, historians have repeatedly verified that this kind of wine should come from the territory of Yelang or the southwest corner of Shu (now Zunyi area), and merchants "stealed the market" other areas of Yelang for profit in order to escape the government's double endowment. In 111 BC (the sixth year of Yuanding), Emperor Wu of the Han sent Tang Meng to the south to give seal to the King of Yelang and the King of Yunnan. It must have gone straight to the Yelang Palace. This Han official who returned to Chang'an and asked about goji sauce, of course, he must have eaten the prototype of Maotai wine - gojiu. For this reason, "Tang Meng and Goji Sauce Wine" in the Legend of Maotai Wine in China gave an artistic creative description: Tang Meng was ordered to enter Shu to open up Yidao... Tang Meng deliberately changed his way and passed Maotai Village along the Chishui River in the south of Sichuan. He was warmly welcomed by the villagers with copper drums and ate our old "Maotai" every day, even his little wife. On the journey of illness and death, it should also be buried in the back mountain of Maotai Village, which can be neighbors to Tang Meng's affection for goji sauce. Although the story is a folk creation, the events are consistent with history. It proves that the predecessor of our Maotai wine was coveted by Han officials because of its beauty. It entered Sima Qian's Historical Records, which has long been famous all over the world and laid a solid technical foundation for the birth of national wine.

Throughout the ages, people have admired Maotai wine and longed for good wine. "Liu Bang drinks gojiu sauce" in the story of Maotai wine, which says that the Pu people who put themselves into Liu Bang's subordinates are invincible because they often drink the goji sauce brought from his hometown. Liu Bang died because of his mother's death. Xiao He sent him goji sauce. After drinking it, his face was greatly refreshed. Only then did he know the mystery of the Pu army's brave battle, so he thought about drinking goji sauce day and night. This legend is true or false, but it shows that people have been praising Maotai for a long time. Wine, politicians and literati have been rumored and recorded throughout the dynasties: Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty used wine to seize power; Liu Yilong's wine in the Southern Dynasty to relieve hatred; King Chuzhuang in the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Mugong Qin and Pei Du in the Tang Dynasty gave kindness with wine; Chen Ping and Cao Shen in the Han Dynasty saved themselves with wine; Seven Sages in Zhulin in the Wei and Jin Dynasties avoided disaster with wine; Xiang Yu's "Hongmen Banquet, the king of Qi's "military law supervision wine" and Guan Yu's "single knife meeting" used wine as a tool for political * governance * fighting * competition; Liu Bei of the Three Kingdoms, Tuobatao in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Li Zicheng in the late Ming Dynasty gathered people's hearts with wine; Du Fu and Bai Juyi, Wang Ding in the Qing Dynasty criticized the current malpractices of wine. In the Three Kingdoms, Zheng Quan, a famous scholar of the State of Wu, saw through the world, accompanied by wine as an immortal, and said: After death, I would like my relatives to bury him next to the pottery workshop. A hundred years later, someone dug out the skull as a wine pot and was still close to wine, so he died without regret. Ruan Ji, a beautiful man among the seven sages in the bamboo forest of the Wei and Jin dynasties, has no intention to be an official career and does not do it. However, he heard that the infantry chef (cookers) is good at brewing wine and asked to be an infantry lieutenant for wine, and can actually be drunk for 60 days. Liu Ling, another person among the seven sages, often receives people of etiquette in the house naked after drinking. Others laughed at him for being rude. He said that God is my room and the room is my trousers. You got into my crotch and laughed at me for being rude? Sneer hypocritical etiquette. Therefore, Pi Rixiu said, "What did he say to the emperor in the year? Please give Liu Ling as a drunken marquis."

Count the romantic figures, still look at the present; count the best wine, as the first to promote Maotai. In the story of Premier Zhou and Maotai, Zhou * En* is extraordinary. He used Maotai, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai to promote national prestige in Geneva, making the country, national wine and Chinese people attract the attention of the world. The British Prime Minister and Tito competed for the empty bottle of Maotai wine at Premier Zhou's banquet, which shows the status and charm of our Maotai. ; The praise of the President and the Japanese Prime Minister for Maotai shows China's international status and the true value of Maotai. Without a strong country, there will be no real glory of famous products. In the story of Xu Shiyuanyou and Maotai Wine, Xu Shiyou drank Maotai wine, drank public and privately, and drank the general's character. He muttered a few bottles of Maotai wine. In order to show his opposition to the Cultural Revolution, he wanted to go to Dabie Mountain to fight guerrillas, showing the extraordinary anger of a generation of heroes. Chen%yi and He*long Yuanshuai also love Maotai wine. There are also stories such as Mrs. Thatcher, the iron woman, who is drunk with Maotai wine, and Chaplin knows the real "man" and so on. It is like drinking, which is intoxicating. The love story between Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun has been passed down through the ages, and it is also because of wine as the main line. Wang Ji, the county magistrate, admired Sima Xiangru's talent and had a close relationship. In order to improve his reputation, Zhuo Wangsun, the richest man, also wanted to flattering the county magistrate and Sima Xiangru for a one-day banquet. His daughter Zhuo Wenjun was also present. A generation of proud children and a generation of talents secretly peeped into his love. During the banquet, Sima Xiangru used wine to express his feelings and played against Zhuo Wenjun. Since then, Zhuo Wenjun has eloped with the poor Sima Xiangru and made a living by opening a hotel. There were many poems in later generations that praised, and Tang Xu said, "Wine is enough to spend a tree, how can you have time to Zhuo Wenjun?" Xue Neng's poem said, "The garriage beacon tower is very strong, and Wenjun's wine mantle is oblique." Du Fu Shiyun: "Like Yicai, Ziyun was literate and finally threw himself into the cabinet."

Unby chance, in the story of Maotai wine, Wang plays the son-in-law. Manhua has a good relationship because of wine. The fairy comes to the river to give him the fragrance of wine, and the fairy butterfly draws springs to make good wine, which has also become a good story about Maotai wine.
