Chapter 109: Wine Hysteria
Chapter 109: Wine Hysteria
Before entering modern agriculture, the output of grain has always been high, so the wine with grain as raw material has become a high-end consumer product, and ordinary people, in addition to the New Year's Festival, it is rare to drink several turbid wines, let alone good wine.

And Yan Shi is not an ordinary ordinary person, nor an ordinary craftsman, but the person in charge of an arsenal, according to later generations, is the director of the arsenal, and he does not dare to say how much other oil and water, but as far as his salary, if he is more diligent, he will open up land around the yard and the craftsman village to grow crops and vegetables, and raise cattle and sheep on the wasteland, so that he will have no worries about a year's food, and the salary basically does not need to be used.
To say that mutton is a little expensive, Gong Yi Nianhuai believes that even in later generations when the materials are very abundant, mutton is not a bargain. But to say that a sheep and two jars of wine can drink Meng Zhijing with emotion, it is a bit too much.
And who is Meng Zhijing? In terms of his family background and living environment, he is more than twice as high as Yan Shi, but he cherishes this wine and mutton. In the eyes of Gong Yi Nianhuai, this is coquettishness. Gong Yi Nian Huai didn't say anything about him, Meng Zhijing was fake, so he saved face for him.
"Hey, hey, hey," Meng Zhijing raised his wine glass to Gong Nian Huai, his eyes were full of sarcasm, "Nian Huai, my little brother really looked away, I can't imagine that in your eyes, no, you are not a monster who does not eat the fireworks of the world, but a gentleman who opens his mouth and clothes to reach out for food, and he doesn't know the pain of crops at all." ”
"Me? Gentle? Gong Nian Huai was shocked, pointing to his nose, his eyes almost burst out of his sockets, hey, he is an ordinary engineering man in the next life, and he is also a poor boy from a peasant family, although he has no worries about food and clothing, but the distance between him and the gentleman is basically the distance from the earth to the moon. I thought to myself, can my dad agree?
Who would have thought that when he arrived in the Southern Song Dynasty, he would be called a gentleman before he could do anything, and if it was known to future generations, those real gentlemen would not have to laugh off their teeth?
And the person who said this turned out to be a third generation of officials who should have been a gentleman, and the third generation of rich people, how much ironic power does this have to complete such a big reversal?
Haha, is there anything funnier than being accused of being a gentleman and Nima's face by a person who can be a gentleman?
"Hahaha," Gong Nian Huai looked at Meng Zhijing's unquestionable gaze that he was a gentleman, and suddenly burst into a burst of laughter, which shook the four fields, and even the old cow pulling the cart turned around and mooed, in response to Gong Nian Huai's laughter like the same kind of laughter.
"Cough, Nianhuai, don't laugh, I'm panicking!" Meng Zhijing pointed to the smiling pear blossom with rain in the heart, and broke off, not forgetting to pour the wine in the wine glass into his mouth first.
"Meng Gongzi, what's wrong with Mr.?" Half of Yan Shi's body was stuffed into the carriage like a big bear, blocking the spread of the sound, and it became more and more obvious that the laughter of the public was so powerful that it shook people's eardrums.
"He, I've exposed him, is using laughter to hide his embarrassment. Hmph, pretend, see how long your little gentleman can pretend, come, let's have another drink, and keep it for him. Meng Zhijing pinched the wine jar in his hand with only one hand, poured himself a glass first, and then filled the tight wine glass.
"Ding!" The two touched a glass and took a sip.
"Hehe, you two just do it, don't blame me for not reminding you, you can't drink too much wine, especially if you are strict, the road still has to go, the cow still has to be driven by you, if you fall me, the cow can't spare you."
As soon as Gong Nian Huai saw Meng Zhijing pouring wine, he knew that there was not much left in a jar of wine. I don't know how the two of them met the wine as if they had seen an old lover who had been separated for three months, and if they didn't toss half to death, they were sorry for the wine.
Like this rice wine, although it is the original creation of the Chinese ancestors, it is the only one in the world, and it is called the three ancient wines along with beer and wine. Of course, Gong Yi Nianhuai is skeptical of this statement.
Why? Beer and wine are far more familiar to later generations than rice wine. Beer and wine are both foreign liquors, and of course, the three oldest types of alcohol may be something made up by Westerners in later generations. Anyone who is touched by the West, the public loses Nianhuai always has to put countless question marks in his heart, and the West, which can't even get a coherent history, will completely record the spread of beer? As long as people have not become ghosts, they will not believe in the lofty things that the West has made in order to compete for the right to speak and promote cultural superiority.
When Su Shicat was on Hainan Island, he tinkered with beer. I don't know if Mr. Dongpo is because of his wide range of interests, or because he feels that making ink is higher than making beer, or whether the taste of beer is not suitable for the Song people at all, anyway, it is unknown whether the beer was stillborn or died in swaddling clothes with Lao Su. Later generations only know the West Lake Su Causeway and Dongpo meat, but they don't know that the beer was almost refined in Lao Su's hands.
Placing beer and wine side by side with Chinese rice wine may be the kind of rice wine that is fueling its own plagiarism.
If it weren't for the weakness of the Southern Song Dynasty, which did not finally stop the Mongol conquest, the cultural enlightenment of the Europeans would probably never have happened.
It is precisely because the Mongols opened up the Southern Song Dynasty and Europe by land, and the civilization and various high-tech of the Southern Song Dynasty were continuously transported to the West by the Semu people, maybe the Europeans still had to play with mice in their dark rooms, where would there be a Renaissance?
The Mongols, as conquerors, were like flying bees, spreading the pollen of the Southern Song Dynasty to Europe, pollinating Europeans, injecting the purest and noblest civilization genes in human history, and awakening Europeans.
Similarly, it was the Southern Song people who prevented the Mongols from continuing their westward expeditions, and provided the Europeans with time to grow the improved pollen into fruit with their own national fortunes, national culture, and people's flesh and blood.
The Chinese civilization suffered the most from the most tragic civilization destruction in human history, and its impact was not completely erased until 800 years later, when the era in which the public lost Nian Huai lived.
Like the Shu brocade weaving, with the Mongols slaughtering 20 million Shu people, they were also annihilated in the long river of history. Shu brocade has almost become a historical term.
Under the iron heel of the Mongols who straddled Asia and Europe in the thirteenth century, it was not the conquerors --- the Mongols who benefited the victors, nor the Central Plains, which suffered heavy losses, but the Europeans who shrank in the corners and shivered.
If Temujin had known underground, how would he feel? I hate to press the gold thread every year, and only make wedding dresses for others. However, Europeans may not have received his Temujin's affection, let alone the most persecuted cultural gene exporter, the Southern Song Dynasty.
The people of the Southern Song Dynasty were the most innocent. Of course, under the law of the jungle, no one sympathizes with the loser, let alone eulogizes the loser's contribution to the history of the planet and mankind.
Fortunately, the Chinese nation is not a walker of history, but a creator of history, and it is destined to pass on the tradition of the Chinese nation, as long as the spark can start a prairie fire. It also makes descendants like Gong Yi Nianhuai still write square characters and speak the Central Plains dialect.
In the long stamina of rice wine, at noon when the water vapor was steaming after the rain, Gong Nian Huai blurred his eyes, time and space rotated in front of him, and he was in a trance with one hand on his cheek, falling into a chaotic reverie.
A country that has seen all the ups and downs, gone through all the adversities, survived all the failures, and has been reborn from the ashes of the sea of blood more than once, is a truly great country.
Great nations have tenacity full of dignity.
Greatness is not to occupy the whole world, greatness is not to kill the whole world.
Greatness is not about letting the world copy its way of life, nor is it about making the whole world obey its own opinions.
Greatness is a culture that is so vast and profound that it cannot be erased from the face of the earth. It is a culture that cannot be interrupted even by destroying a country and destroying a nation. It is a culture that takes away its world history and has to be completely rewritten. It was a culture in which even the conquerors had to be convinced of their devotion to conversion.
The Chinese civilization is great. Her greatness doesn't even need anyone to deliberately admit it. Because there she is, standing proudly like Mount Everest, like eternity.
Character determines fate, and this sentence is not entirely true.
Character is destiny!
Destiny is character!
The Chinese civilization is thick and far-reaching, and in fact, it has long proved the character of China.
In the past 5,000 years, the people of the country and the nation in this land have experienced a lot of disasters, however, even if the country is destroyed, this country and the nation, there are still countless strong men and heroes, they will always stubbornly carry the backbone of China, bleeding the sea without breaking, looking up to the sky, singing a Huang Zhong Da Lu, Qin dialect agitated:
Stay from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky!
The Chinese character is Yue Fei, Shi Kefa, Yuan Chonghuan, Lu Xiufu, Tong Linge, Tan Qianqiu, the people of Jiading who have gone through the three massacres and still have not surrendered, and the people of Jiangyin who are fortunate to die first for 172,000 salts. They are China!
China, it's their China.
Chinese culture is full of dignity and tenacity, and even though it has been scourged by corrupt officials and corrupt officials to the point that it is unable to resist foreign aggression, it still unyieldingly holds its head high in the face of the blood-stained butcher's knife of the invaders, and its heart is full of the belief that it will win.
Yes, China is indeed often defeated.
However, Chinese culture has never been destroyed!
During the Five Hu Rebellion, there were more than 20 countries in China at the same time, and during the Republic of China, China successively had seven provinces and 12 provinces. Joint rule is tantamount to declaring independence.
All these divisions, not a single one of them succeeded.
In Chinese culture, betrayal is an unbearable burden for children and grandchildren.
Any painful reflection, sharp criticism, or even gnashing of teeth and angry scolding on the dark side of Chinese culture, even in a trance, saliva flows from the corners of his mouth, and his head keeps shaking with the swing of the body, he seems to be nodding his head and saying, as long as what you scold is indeed the dark side, I will not object.
Gong Yi Nianhuai despised those who declared Yue Fei and Lu Xiufu to be "foolish and loyal", falsely accused Wen Tianxiang and Yuan Chonghuan of being traitors, admired Hong Chengchou as a handsome man who knew the times, called for Qin Hui's rehabilitation, deplored Wang Jingwei's misunderstood, shouted narrow nationalism when he heard patriotism, and even called Chinese for obscenity when he heard that China was longlive. Serious contempt.
Being strong doesn't automatically equal being great
Chinese character is tenacious!
What does it mean to be tenacious? To be tenacious is to "do what you know you can't do."
Chinese civilization has never been extinct, relying on "knowing that it cannot be done".
