Chapter 248: Subverting the Three Views
The last stop on the trip to Central Europe is Germany. For this country SC Johnson is full of admiration, the leader of the two world wars, fought all over the world.
In fact, rigor is a very awesome quality, whether it is an island country or Germany, it is the only magic weapon to stand strong. Compared to other European countries, German tourism seems to be very low-key, which arouses one's curiosity.
It's already evening in Berlin, and the famous Prater beer garden is near the Hilton Hotel.
The first thing that comes to mind when it comes to beer is Germany, for them, beer is not just a drink, but also life itself. From the 500-year-old Beer Brewing Act to the world-famous Oktoberfest. The dedication to beer, like our passion for tea, has transcended food and become a unique culture.
We may sing: 56 nationalities, 56 flowers.
As a beer country, they had to sing: sixteen federal states, sixteen breweries.
It's only when you're there that you really appreciate what beer means to the country, and there are beer parks almost everywhere, as if people flock to enjoy nature and beer as soon as the sun shows its face.
Walking on the streets, whether in the center of the city or in the secluded streets, beer can be found everywhere. Soon you will be in the park, known as the largest beer garden, with 600 seats, where you can drink beer and watch a football game in the shade of hundreds of people at the same time.
The lively atmosphere fills the park, with cabaret performances in traditional Bavarian costumes on stage, and fat waiters and aunts quickly shuttle between the tables with several full of beers, and the waiter uncle handsomely picks up freshly brewed beer......
The creamy and delicate beer foam, the rich and mellow beer in the mouth, and a large plate of German roast pork knuckle that feels like it will never be eaten, everyone gulps down, eats meat, chats and plays, and has a comfortable life.
At this moment, SC Johnson's stereotype of Germans was completely subverted, and all bullshit, conservative, indifferent, and calm disappeared. There are beer girls who hold ten beers in both hands and shuttle between the wine tables, the carnival crowd who sing and sing and dance on the table under the encouragement of the music, and those couples who drink and kiss in the crowd......
alcohol promiscuity,
Even the German tank dropped its chain at a critical moment!
Eating meat is the right thing to do, and there are several large plates of crispy pig's trotters in front of you, accompanied by potato balls and greasy sauerkraut, which is definitely the gospel of carnivores.
SC Johnson is most interested in the famous Bavarian white sausage, named for its white appearance. Legend has it that in the 19th century, a restaurateur was trying to fry sausages but happened to run out of casings, so he had to use pork intestines to make casings.
In order to avoid bursting the sausages by frying, they were boiled in plain, and this forced innovation soon became popular all over the world. If you can't eat the casing, cut the casing directly and dip it in mustard to eat.
Be sure to pair it with twisted bread, known as national bread, a type of lye bread. There used to be a saying about the Germans: potatoes are the body, beer is the spirit, and thick bread is the soul.
When you take a bite, unlike the fluffy bread you might think of, the basic ingredients here are only yeast, flour, salt and water. This figure-of-eight twisted bread is only available in sweet and salty flavors, and the sweet one is often eaten on certain days, while the salty bread sprinkled with salt and pepper is seen every day in the bakery.
Eating bread with white sausage and drinking beer with elbows is the way the locals eat.
It seems simple and crude, but it actually makes a lot of sense. Because this alkaline bread can neutralize the acid of the beer, it has a hangover effect, and it is guaranteed to get more and more enjoyable the more you eat.
Many couples next to them also have various heart-shaped gingerbread hanging around their necks, decorated with various decorations, and writing all kinds of earthy love words. What do you love you do directly, and what do you pretend to write about literature and art, but my heart is lost to you.
Johnson pouted, who said that Germans are not romantic, and it is also a set of snackish words!
Soon learned two words, Hallo and is to say hello, more and more people have begun to share tables. Especially when I met the blonde and blue-eyed female men, I sat down without saying a word, raised my glass enthusiastically, and directly said Prost, and began to toast.
Then repeat a few actions: stand up and toast – stand on the stool and toast – stand on the table and toast......
Next to him are a few silly boys, who see the beauty hormones bursting and directly challenge A Mass. All stood on the table and drank 1 liter of beer in one go, and everyone watched the excitement and cheered for them.
Grilled chicken, grilled fish, pretzels, grilled sausages, grilled pork knuckle...... It's not an exquisite meal, but it's the most delicious appetizer, and there's an oversized heart-shaped gingerbread that's guaranteed to be all-you-can-eat until you vomit!
SC Johnson hasn't felt this way for a long time, hundreds of people are hi together, just like watching a celebrity concert, the atmosphere is getting hotter and hotter, and you can experience the impulse you haven't felt for a long time.
These are just small scenes, and I've heard that Oktoberfest in October is the big battle. Six million drunkards around the world are hi together, and it's scary to think about.
Locals dress in traditional attire and men wear Lederhosen, leather bib trousers, often with traditional embroidery, and a whole outfit that also includes a plaid shirt, sweater, and calf-wrapping socks.
The girls' suits are called Dirndl, and the combination of low-cut shirts and skirts, and even the apron belt are carefully positioned, tied on the right side to indicate not available, and tied on the left side is single, allowing you to hook up to your heart's content.
With a population of 1 million, Munich has more than 3,000 beer halls that are full every day, and almost everyone who steps into a pub orders at least half a liter of beer to accompany their meal, and of course one liter most often.
One liter is a unit of measurement in Munich and Bavaria as a whole, and there is a popular local proverb: drink one liter a day, and you will be a god in health.
In ancient times, some dignitaries wore leather pants, sat on wooden benches, and then began to drink fresh beer, sat on the stool for half an hour, and when they got up, the wooden plank had to be able to stick to the leather pants to prove that it was a good beer. Otherwise, it means that the beer is too low in strength to qualify as a really good wine.
This is also the birthplace of craft brewing, choose one of the most expensive Riegele, known as the big brother of craft brewing, has a history of more than 600 years, the earliest brewing family on the European continent, the heir has been passed down to the 27th generation.
Take a sip of the hops, which are as soft as if you are eating a marshmallow, and like licking the ice cream that melts on the cone, it is delicate and silky, and it is not at all rough and astringent like the foam of ordinary beer.
Looking at the indulgent Germanic people around him, he finally understood why this country is more awesome than the little devils, although the work is rigorous, but there is a good wine to vent his emotions after work every day.
The little devil only knows how to be depressed, and has no channel to vent at all, so he can only become more and more perverted, and live like a robot.
