Chapter 287: Misfortune Leads to the East
This family banquet, Mr. Xu Qingshan has been carefully prepared for a long time, and specially invited two old chefs of Shaoxing cuisine from Baoyue Building to be the chef, and all kinds of delicacies are made into two kinds of Chinese and Western hot and cold meals, all in order to make his daughter's family feel their sincerity.
Of course, this kind of meal system, the preparation of Western food made the eyes of the three girls and Xu Lan shine, and because Zhao Qing also came to the door for the first time in the Chinese food, he brought a large bag of mountain goods from home, plus a special carnivorous chicken raised in the bamboo forest, plus two jars of specially prepared medicinal wine brought by the head of the cave void, so in addition to Xiao Ke, a group of people and horses really let go of their hearts, feasted, and quickly dried up these two jars of wine.
Xiao Ke is also a child's nature, when he was full, he ran to the bamboo forest to find bamboo shoots, saying that he wanted to find a report in his grandfather's bamboo forest, dig it to try it, and Xu Qingshan, who saw this in his eyes, stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word, waved his hand to let her go, but his heart was smiling.
Originally, according to Xu Lan's temperament, he would never let his father be so old, and he was really shopping hard at the wine table, but Dong Xuan waved his hand to stop Xu Lan, and said with a smile:
"Your father was seriously injured once when he was young, because the medical conditions were very limited, and the situation was critical, so he used the treatment methods of the local local doctor, and there are still some hidden dangers, but it is also after that recovery that he changed his physique, this physique, to put it bluntly, is that for alcohol, it does not absorb too much, most of the alcohol. Basically, through sweating and other methods, it is excreted from the body in time, so if you let him quit drinking, it will be harmful to the body.
I can testify to this, you can rest assured, he has some wine. It's not going to happen at all. ”
As soon as Xu Lan heard that she was in a hurry, she still left some hidden dangers, so she hurriedly asked:
"Dao Chief, what do you mean by hidden dangers? Does it affect my health? ”
Dong Xuan laughed again, after drinking, this bull-nosed old man, rarely stroked his beard to speak, pretending to be profound, but no different from a normal person. waved his hand and smiled:
"Don't worry, this hidden danger has little impact on the body, with my judgment of his body, I'm afraid it is not a big problem to live past the age of 90, it is rare that for your father, the greatest wish has now been realized, and your family will get along well in the future." No more artificial separation. ”
The guard squad leader beside Lao Xu called a soldier and followed Xiao Ke from a distance. Just in case something happens, in fact, this is a common problem of the security personnel, at least a guard platoon has been deployed around the entire villa, in this situation that has not become the target of hostile forces, who dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head.
Xu Lan nodded and put her heart in her stomach. After some questions and answers, he hurriedly poured a full wine for the Taoist chief, picked up his wine glass, and drank three glasses with Lao Dao, to talk about the wine prepared by Lao Xu today. It can be said to be very exquisite, and it is the champion red brewed by several jars of ancient methods.
Speaking of this champion red, it actually corresponds to her daughter red.
Zhuangyuan Red is a traditional famous wine of the Han nationality with a long history. In the past, after every Shaoxing family gave birth to a baby, they would bury a jar of Huadiao wine in the ground. If a baby boy is born, I hope that when he grows up, he will read poetry and books, go to Beijing to take the exam, and one day when the high school champion returns to his hometown to report the good news, he can open the bottle of old wine to greet relatives and friends. Having said that, there are only 10,000 people who can really get admitted to the top score, so in fact, "champion red" is generally used to entertain guests when his son gets married. As for the flower carving wine buried for the baby girl, it is called "daughter red", which is also used as a welcome on the wedding day when she grows up.
In the Jin Dynasty, Shangyu people's "Southern Grass and Trees" has a record: "Daughter wine is a necessary thing for rich families to give birth to daughters and marry daughters in the old days", if the daughter is unfortunate to die early before she is married, it is like the withering of flowers, and it is also a reason for the name of flower carving.
Huadiao Huadiao was originally the old custom of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, China: to store good wine in the color wine jar, as a gift to the newborn children, because the wine jar is generally engraved with a beautiful color painting pattern for decoration, so it is called Huadiao, and later gradually became a well-known Chinese and foreign high-quality glutinous rice wine wine, which is still mainly produced in Shaoxing, Zhejiang.
As early as the Song Dynasty, the place was a famous wine producing area; In the Qing Dynasty, because of the development of Cao Yun, Huadiao wine became one of the most popular "southern goods" and was shipped to the north in large quantities for sale. Huadiao mainly uses high-quality glutinous rice, high-quality wine koji and spring water from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, brewed according to the ancient method and then cellared for several years; Since only one-third of the original amount of wine is often left when it is picked up from the cellar, it is traditionally mixed with new wine. Huadiao wine is soft, orange and bright in color, rich and fragrant, sweet and mellow in taste. Sometimes the wine is also used as a condiment, such as Huadiao chicken, Huadiao stewed crab meat, etc., which are all famous dishes in Shaoxing.
After Lian Rong and Allure heard the origin of this flower carving, they were also surprised, so they also drank two more cups with them, and soon finished eating, and after leaving the table, they ran to find Zhao Xiaoke and dug bamboo shoots together.
For Zhao Yili's quirky sister, Lian Rong and Allure are both only daughters, so they naturally like the lively little sister of the Zhao family, and more importantly, these adults on the scene, as well as Zhao Yili and Xu Wenqing, are all fighting for wine, and Xu Lan is maintaining the wine game all the way, and the two of them don't go to have some fun, so they can only watch everyone drink, which is very boring, so they ran out.
Lianrong and Allure have not been practicing in Wudang with Dongxu since they were children, but they have something to do with some high-ranking officials and huge riches in Beijing, because of this opportunity, this can be regarded as the ranks of the lay disciples of Dongxu. In fact, it is not easy for ordinary people to get in touch with characters like Dong Xu, which dynasty and generation, these strange people, all of them serve the characters who occupy the elite class of society.
To put it bluntly, you are a common man, and there is nothing that can afford to supply this kind of faith, so what kind of democracy and civilian society that society is chanting is just an empty slogan, looking at so many countries around the world, all of them are dominated by the elite class, that is to say, if you are mediocre, then everywhere you are the same low-level people, unless you occasionally check the genealogy, and suddenly find that you have something to do with the Queen of England, then I have to congratulate you, maybe you are lucky, and in the second half of your life, you will become the only legal heir on a small island, and you may be a majestic king.
In the era of science and technology, there are very few people who believe in these traditional Taoisms that have been inherited for hundreds of thousands of years, but businessmen, politicians, or social figures, for some special reasons, tend to believe in these Laojun and Buddha more devout than ordinary people.
There are often some thoughts of praying for the gods to bless their families, especially themselves, and to obtain peace, but it is only because in the process of reaching the peak of their lives, those original sins have been caused, and to a greater or lesser extent, they have been condemned by some conscience.
And Zhao Yili is precisely because he promised the promise of this new master, and was pulled by the master of Dongxu, who is never pedantic, to drink a few glasses, but he didn't expect that Dongxu was really a master of wine, even if Xu Wenqing and Zhao Qing also joined the battle later, they still only fought for a half catty and eight taels, the old Taoist priest was still slightly drunk and squinted, and the comer did not refuse to drink the wine one by one, as if he brewed it himself, and the champion safflower carving of the old man Xu was all white water.
Soon, after three rounds of wine and several dishes, everyone on the table had reached the amount of wine, and suddenly there was a flower in front of the two people, and a figure had flashed past the two of them with a gust of wind, and flashed again, and it was already a hundred meters away, and then this person's back saw that it was actually General Xu's grandson, and he couldn't help but sigh while embarrassed:
"This old Xu family, there are really few ordinary people!" (To be continued.) )
