Chapter 42 The South Fights for the North 1
Entering the small dining room, Qi Tianxiang saw a pot of millet porridge, a plate of spiced pickles, a plate of boiled peanuts, a plate of green onion eggs, and a plate of Sichuan pickles on the table. couldn't help but say, turned his head and was about to go out, but Lin Dongsheng grabbed his hand, and asked knowingly with a smile: "What are you going to do?" ”
"I'm looking for Xiao Li, this is the dinner of the provincial party secretary, isn't this not taking the health of the leader seriously?" Qi Tianxiang broke free twice, but he didn't break free of Lin Dongsheng's hand, so he simply gave up, but he still didn't relent: "I have to talk to him, I can't take it too seriously." ”
"Then you should go to Secretary General Qin Liang." Lin Dongsheng said quietly, looking at Qi Tianxiang's puzzled eyes, and said with a little seriousness: "He is in charge of this matter, he is the secretary general, and he is the chief steward of the provincial party committee, and he should be responsible for all these major and minor affairs." ”
Lin Dongsheng continued lightly: "Usually when you can't go back, are you also prepared with three dishes and four bowls, frying, frying, and steaming?" Is it also a pin of elbows, fried sea cucumber with green onions, abalone grilled rice, or Buddha jumping over the wall? Is that a working meal? Don't you often deal with instant noodles and ham sausages? ”
"I'm young, of course I can't go through so much trouble, I still have to work after dinner, it's okay to deal with it." Qi Tianxiang still pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "You are different, you can be simple, but you can't be hasty, and you can't ignore your current physical condition." ”
"Okay, don't be forceful, I know that you have the ability to be talented after drinking, Xiao Li has prepared it for you, if one bottle is enough, if not, I will get you another bottle." Lin Dongsheng no longer kept a straight face, but said with a smile: "Be content!" My Governor Qi. It would be nice to have these dishes, but the chefs had to prepare them in advance and send them here from the canteen in the building. Punctual and punctual, just like passing the imperial meal, I'm annoyed by this, today is to entertain you, or I'll go home, your sister-in-law's millet porridge is much more authentic than theirs. ”
"As the old saying goes, 'If you don't see through, you can't make friends.'" I'm mainly for your health and health, but it's become a fight for food and drink, it's really hard to be a good person, Dou E is everywhere! Qi Tianxiang was thought of by Lin Dongsheng, so he no longer pretended, but said seriously: "A kitchen must be prepared near these small buildings, or under which building, so that at least you can eat hot meals and hot dishes, and it is more convenient." ”
"I think it's okay, just put it in the basement of your red building, anyway, you don't often come to work, and it will also provide a convenience for everyone. Just look at how the smoke burns you every day. Lin Dongsheng glared at Qi Tianxiang angrily, and said dissatisfiedly: "If you want to stand like this again, my millet porridge will be cold, do you feel sorry for me, or do you toss me?" ”
As Lin Dongsheng spoke, he walked to the small dining table and sat down, looked at Qi Tianxiang's expression, and said slowly: "Speaking of small restaurants, don't say that I really have an opinion." You didn't look at the seven small buildings, who still need to eat in the evening. You don't come here much, and it's okay to come. Lao Hou lives in Nanjiao Hotel, and basically he still goes to which side more. Liu, Li, Hong, and Wang don't necessarily eat here once a week, so if I want to say that it is simply the same as the canteen of the institution, only serving lunch, and no longer serving dinner, or simply canceling it, everyone will find a way to solve the dinner problem by themselves. ”
Lin Dongsheng said as if he suddenly understood something, stared at Qi Tianxiang with his eyes like torches, and said majestically: "How are you talking and talking, as if you are sarcastic, you unconsciously wrapped me in, isn't this small restaurant just me using it alone?" No wonder you said that you were looking for a place in the small building, it turned out that the back hand was buried here! ”
"How dare I do this, it's really hard to be a good person, you start to go online when you say this, and people say 'young and sad, old and hearty' This is true." Qi Tianxiang hurriedly stood up, waved his hands and said, "Isn't this a hurry to say this?" I really didn't think that far ahead. ”
"Alright, sit down! Can you eat while standing? Lin Dongsheng's face softened, but he still said angrily: "The wine is in the cabinet, take whatever wine you drink." ”
Qi Tianxiang turned around and walked to the wine cabinet with a hippie smile, took a bottle of Huayi aging without thinking, turned back, opened it and poured a glass for Lin Dongsheng attentively, and then filled the wine glass in front of him, smiling and waiting for Lin Dongsheng to speak.
"What good wines are prepared for others, and you can drink a bottle to poor me?" Lin Dongsheng was very satisfied with Qi Tianxiang's caution and low-key, but he said dissatisfiedly: "Thank you for your hard work these days, my old Lin is reluctant to give up a bottle of good wine, doesn't this make everyone feel cold?" ”
"The celebration wine is drunk at the celebration banquet, and the good wine is useful, which is also the meaning of good steel on the blade, I think this local famous wine is good to drink." Qi Tianxiang smiled slyly, raised his voice and said to himself: "I heard that this Huayi Aging is a typical new bottle of old wine, the wine is pulled from a famous winery in the southwest, it is bottled directly without any processing, and the quality is better than the wine in the winery. ”
"Ghost elves, I can't hide anything from you." Lin Dongsheng smiled and picked up the wine glass, motioned to Qi Tianxiang, and said slowly: "I'll just drink a little symbolically, you are free to see how much difference this wine is from the good wine you imagined." ”
Lin Dongsheng spoke, drank a little lightly, put down the wine glass, picked up the chopsticks and put a peanut in his mouth, chewed slowly and said: "Actually, this wine, there is not much difference in my place, when I was young, I didn't know how to drink, I drank indiscriminately, I didn't feel any wine, but now I know the fragrance of wine, but I don't dare to drink it, the world makes people!" ”
"Wine is a good thing, since the legendary Du Kang brewing to the present, along with the whole process of Chinese civilization, it can be said that it is an important part of traditional Chinese culture, and wine culture is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people than Confucianism and Taoism culture." Qi Tianxiang drank the wine in the glass, picked up the wine bottle and poured it full for Lin Dongsheng, and then poured it for himself, looked at the liquid in the wine glass fixedly, and said with emotion: "Since it is connected to traditional culture, there is something that is really passed down from generation to generation, everything can be faked, and it can be accelerated and innovated. ”
Lin Dongsheng looked at Qi Tianxiang with interest, picked up the cigarette case on the table, took out a cigarette and lit it, smoked slowly and said: "What do you want to say, can it be that you are also a doctor of administrative law and have a study of wine-making technology?" ”
"I really don't dare to say about research, but I usually read miscellaneous books, and I dabble in miscellaneous things, so I really know a little bit, I try to shake my spirits and sell a pie with you." Qi Tianxiang picked up the wine glass, looked at the wine in the cup intently, and said slowly: "If compared with Western wine and fermented wine, the varieties and methods of Chinese wine are too complicated and diverse. ”
"Take the more consistent brewing process as an example, there is a difference between high temperature and medium temperature and low temperature in the production of koji, and the materials used to make koji are also sorghum, wheat, millet, rice, etc., as for the method of cellaring, it is also the flat method, semi-cellaring and cellaring method, cave storage method and so on." Seeing that Lin Dongsheng was very interested, Qi Tianxiang also spoke in more detail, and said calmly: "But let's just say that this is the most expressive brewing process, there are three steaming and three brewing, five steaming and five brewing, and even nine steaming and nine brewing, but no matter how many times, after moistening the material with hot water, the high-quality fermented fermented wine that has not been steamed in the cellar in the last round of the previous year is mixed and steamed, and the grain and wine are steamed at the same time, and the fermentation is piled up after cooling, and fermented in the cellar for one month. The fermented and matured fermented fermented liquor is distilled, and the resulting distilled liquor is stored separately for blending, and the tail is still poured back into the fermentation for re-fermentation. The fermented grain is cooled, the tail and koji are added, and then fermented in the cellar for a month after accumulation, distilled, and then fermented and distilled separately. According to the needs of the aroma type, the corresponding number of distillation and fermentation are carried out. Each distilled liquor has a different name and a different character. This is the original wine, and it must be stored in a pottery jar at a lower temperature for a longer period of time to make the wine taste soft and fragrant. It usually takes at least one to three years to be stored before it can be bottled into the market as a finished product. ”
Qi Tianxiang said so much in one breath, he smiled and drank the wine glass, then looked at Lin Dongsheng self-deprecatingly and said, "I have said so much at once, but I am tired to death." But yours is the wine I wanted. Your wine is eight steamed and eight brewed, and after more than five years of storage, it has not undergone any blending and aroma, which can be said to be absolutely authentic. ”
"It's so wicked, as if you purchased and supervised this wine, so sure." Lin Dongsheng looked at Qi Tianxiang's eyes, took a sip of the wine glass suspiciously, tasted it slowly, and said slowly for a long time: "There is nothing special about it, why are you so sure?" ”
"One year of fierceness, two years of steel, three years of cotton, four years of soft and five years of fragrance, this is the law of their industry, as for eight steaming and eight brewing, that is the necessary brewing procedure for this kind of wine, and there will be no shortage of catties and two." Qi Tianxiang looked at Lin Dongsheng and became serious, and couldn't help but be a little proud, and then said: "This is also inferred from the operating efficiency, 10,000 tons of liquor is stored for one year, regardless of other costs, the direct cost is 100 million, five years is 500 million, the value of this bottle of wine is already very objective." How much value can be created by blending such a raw liquor in a ratio of one to five? No matter how high the price is, people will not sell it. That's why a bartender's salary is now in the millions of dollars a year, and the benefits he can create are too objective. It is more conscientious to use such wine as a base wine for blending, there is no base wine at all, and a good bartender can blend any aroma, any vintage wine, relying on edible alcohol and brewing koji. It is today's reality, and it is also an open secret of the liquor industry. ”
