Chapter 318: Barley Wine

Several of them gave this evaluation, the first is because they don't drink much wine, and the second is that the taste of barley wine is indeed a bit mysterious. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Different from the spicy and sweet flavor of baijiu, highland barley wine has the fermented sour and astringent nature of a wine, but with a special barley aroma, and the displacement reaction in the mouth is a little subtle, a little bitter in the throat, but extremely sweet in return.

So it's not very delicious, but it's also quite delicious, and it can only be expressed as okay.

"The main reason for this is that barley wine is extremely nutritious. Xu Shoucheng said with a smile, "Girls, girls drink half a catty, they don't have to eat for a day, and they can also help lose weight." ”

"Really?" Zhao Fei's eyes lit up when she heard about weight loss, although she was not fat, but compared with the thin and tall figures of Zheng Jingjing and Xu Qingmei, she was still a little rounded.

"Lose some fat. Wang Yao knocked on Zhao Fei's head with a smile and took a sip of barley wine, "Let's talk about the legend of barley." ”

"How can you make up a story about anything?" Xu Qingmei rolled her eyes dissatisfied, Wang Yao grabbed a mouthful of charcoal-grilled beef and put it in her mouth.

"The brewing method of highland barley wine is similar to the ancient wine-making method, which was brought by Princess Wencheng from the Central Plains to improve. Wang Yao said, "Later, the barley wine was introduced to the Central Plains with the establishment of diplomatic relations between Tibet and the Tang Dynasty, and this special wine was given a special meaning, so it was derived from the legend, according to legend, Buzhou Mountain is now the Pamir Plateau, that is, the generation of the Himalayas, the Queen Mother of the West lived in the Kunlun Mountains in this basin in her early years, and she and the Eastern Princes were in charge of the male fairies and fairies of heaven and earth. ”

"Wait, Queen Mother of the West, is that the Queen Mother?" Mo Ke interrupted.

"From the perspective of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", no, the so-called Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor are both acquired spirits, and the Queen Mother of the West and the Prince of the East are the ancestors of the opening of the sky, not a level. Wang Yao said.

"I don't understand. Mo Ke pouted.

Wang Yao glanced at her, "In addition to the fairies under the Queen Mother of the West, there are also fairy birds, what phoenixes, Luan birds and cranes are her disciples, one day she sent Qingluan to look for the artifact overseas, when the Qingluan flew back, inadvertently a artifact fell into the world, the artifact took root, and in a blink of an eye, a patch of green wheat fields grew, raising countless children in the snowy region, in order to thank Qingluan, named this plant after the barley. ”

"There's no scientific basis at all. Barley is obviously barley. Zheng Jingjing muttered.

Wang Yao coughed lightly, "Myths have myths, science has scientific claims, and besides, barley is not barley, it is the ancestor of barley." ”

"What about later? This is barley, what does it have to do with barley wine?" instead, Kim Tae-ran listened to it with relish.

"Later, the Eight Immortals, the Eight Immortals of the Heavenly Court that you know, came to Tubo for a tour, and found this barley divine land, and found a spring here, and all the black dragon springs that gushed out of the spring were the black dragon springs of Longwang Mountain, all of which were divine water. Tie Guan Li felt embarrassed after taking some divine water, and poured the Nine Heavens Immortal Brew into it for feedback, and then the spring water came out of wine, which was called barley wine by the locals. Wang Yao said with a smile.

"What the hell, Jiuquan?" Xu Qingmei snorted lightly.

"Actually, it's an advertiser who made it up. Xu Shoucheng was silent for a while and said.

Wang Yao smiled: "But this legend is also quite interesting." ”

"What advertiser?" everyone was stunned.

"In the past, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were more than a dozen local wineries in Tubo, and later they were integrated into one, called Tianyoude, this myth was made by them, and now they are the largest producers of barley wine. Xu Shoucheng explained.

"Eh, isn't that as ridiculous as Christmas?" Jin Tairan glared at Wang Yao like a frosted eggplant.

"Who can say for sure? Wang Yao pouted.

"That's right, Brother Wang. Qu Yuan suddenly asked, "Let me take the liberty of asking, are you a Buddhist?"

"No, it's not. Wang Yao shook his head: "I'm here to repay my wish." ”

"Kowtow, but the dog is pious, and most people are willing to give money. Qu Yuan said with a smile.

"I don't have any money. "Wang Yao is very innocent," I think the mind is more important. ”

The corners of Xu Shoucheng's mouth raised a subtle arc, "Don't talk to this kid about believing in Buddhism, his inheritance is an ancient religion that is older than Buddhism." ”

Qu Yuan was shocked.

"You're such a god. Mo Ke also looked at Wang Yao in surprise.

"What words. Wang Yao rolled his eyes, "Faith is not a religion, and religion is not necessarily a god, indifferently, I personally do not advocate religion, but I hope that everyone has faith to support, otherwise I will not learn to be in awe." ”

"Isn't it still a god?" Mo Ke rolled his eyes.

Wang Yao frowned and said, "You can't understand it so superficially, this is a serious topic." ”

"Asking God and worshiping Buddha is for spiritual sustenance, it can't be said to be useless, but the probability of usefulness is a bit low, compared to this kind of superstition, I think the academic value of religion is more practical, especially in psychology and probability calculation. Xu Qingmei said.

"This little girl has a sharp opinion, it should be materialism. Xu Shoucheng said with a smile.

"I am Marxist-Leninist. Xu Qingmei spit out her pink tongue.

"Talk less about doctrines and study more problems. Wang Yao interjected.

"Then you still kowtow. Xu Qingmei choked back.

Zheng Jingjing raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at Wang Yao, who was smiling lightly and was not ready to explain, and said, "Sometimes, people always put feelings before reason. ”

Everyone was stunned.

Wang Yao smiled and handed Zheng Jingjing a piece of fine lamb chops.

Whether it was himself who saved Zhao Lirong's godmother or not, Wang Yao still doesn't know, but he can be sure that the persistence of himself and Doctor Liu is very important, if there is no such persistence, then it may be very dangerous at that time.

He knelt not the so-called Buddha, but the great awe of faith and life in his heart, as well as the blessing of Zhao Lirong.

He couldn't understand what religion was, and maybe the starting point was good, but it was inevitable that in the world, religion and theocracy had begun to walk on another path of human nature.

Rightly or wrongly, if you continue to go in this opposite direction, you will eventually perish.

Faith is a good thing, it is a necessary thing for everyone, belief in science, belief in art, belief in life are all beliefs, there is no distinction between high and low, there is only one standard, that is, goodwill.

Because faith itself is a good thing, and if a belief is evil, then he is not worthy of being a human being.

Because at the beginning of man, nature is good.

One of the most important debates in Chinese civilization is whether sex is good or evil.

The controversy between Xunzi and Mencius has been inconclusive for thousands of years.

But in fact, the purpose of both is to prove that the essence of human nature is the supreme good.

Their insistence on the inherently good and inherently evil nature is the way in which social rules change human beings.

Mencius's nature is to influence and nurture human beings by gentle means.

And Xunzi's sexual evil is to restrict and educate human beings by forceful means.

The debate is not about whether people are born good or evil.

It is how the moral system of this society should be established.

But the ultimate goal is to persuade people to do good.

Faith is like this, because with faith, human beings have some kind of spiritual pillar, from which to draw strength, human potential is unlimited, scientific calligraphy is that the development of human brain is currently less than 10 percent, the remaining at least 90 percent, what kind of world can be created, no one can predict.

A hundred years ago, could you have predicted the current Internet age?

Thomas Watson, the founder of IBM, the world's first researcher in the field of computers, once said that the world only needs five computers, and he could never have predicted that the world would become a necessity like a toilet.

It is precisely because some people have a certain belief that there is some magic that changes the world, and this magic is not obtained by praying to God and worshiping Buddha, but the pursuit and persistence of some kind of goodwill in human potential.

The emergence of religion has indirectly distorted this kind of well-intentioned persistence and persistence.

Some so-called spokesmen of God, the reincarnation of Buddhas, and so on began to be understood by individual subjects, which had an unpredictable impact on the spread of faith, but it cannot be ruled out that these races have bad people.

Therefore, Wang Yao believes in the spirit of independence and the idea of freedom.

If people easily listen to others and do not think for themselves, then it is easy to be fooled and bewitched.

And the god stick that Mo Ke is talking about is this kind of bad guy who makes a living by fooling and bewitching good human beings to betray their faith.

Huaxia is a race that has not had superstition since ancient times, and the ancient sacrifice was to complete the reverence for nature and heaven and earth, so that the emperor of the highest rank knew that he was not the highest, and above him, there was nature and heaven and earth, so that he would not do whatever he wanted.

However, this kind of sacrifice and reverence is slowly distorted into superstition, which can only indicate a regression in some respects.

If a person is self-centered, this selfish and self-interested personality will become a cancer, if he is a capable cancer, then the world will be clouded, such as green religion, such as extremism.

Chinese mythology is different from Western mythology, where the Western god tells his people to obey and pray for miracles, while the Chinese god tells his people to rely on themselves in everything.

The sky is broken, and Nuwa practices her own refining stones to make up for the sky.

When the disease came, he didn't ask for miracles, and Emperor Shennong died after tasting a hundred herbs.

When the flood came, he didn't ask the prophet, and Emperor Dayu dug the river to dredge it himself.

Jingwei drowned in the East China Sea, believing that the East China Sea was evil, and after his death, he supported the East China Sea with resentment to level the East China Sea.

The sun was a good thing, but when ten suns appeared in the sky and the people were miserable, the descendants took up their bows and shot down the nine superfluous.

The myth of China tells the children of China that there is no god in this world, and there is a group of people who are willing to sacrifice themselves for good, and they have become gods, and the gods of the Chinese nation are endless.

Because the root and soul of the nation are still there.

That is faith for good.
