Everyone looked at the person who spoke, and it was none other than Xiao Ma, the deputy chief of the industrial section.

However, after the matter was finally decided, he did not directly select the wine sent to the south pot to participate in the competition in Zhili Province as Secretary Xiao Zhang said; It's not as Pony said: You can choose any pot of wine, but you can't choose to send the south pot!

It is precisely because the selected products will also participate in the competition of Zhili Province, after the matter is decided, Wang Qintang thinks that why not hold an event in Ansu Realm first, and ask all the pots to come up with the best wine to participate. In this way, you can not only choose the best of the best, but also give all the pots a fair chance to participate in the election.

Once the matter is settled, the next step is how to organize the event. Wang Qintang doesn't know how to drink, and ponies don't know how to drink, and some of them can drink, and some can taste what kind of wine is good and tasteful, but if they come up with a set of competition rules and evaluate really good wine, they can't do it.

However, this did not stump Wang Qintang. Wang Qintang invited 11 pot owners of all sizes, such as "Runquanyong", "Juheyong", "Jujiuxian", "Deyichang", "Deyuanyu" and "Yongxinfeng" in Ansujing, to jointly agree on a set of competition rules. These pot owners, as soon as they heard that they were going to compete which pot had good wine, they were not very enthusiastic. Because each family's wine is placed there, whose wine sells well, of course, whose wine is of good quality. It's just not comparable, everyone has a number in their hearts. But because of the face of the prefectural governor, he had to come and jointly agree on a competition rule.

Since the rules were drafted by all the pots, they were easy to enforce. At this time, it was the eighth day of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, and there were still eight days before the time stipulated by the superiors to submit the election. Finally, the race was scheduled to be held in the prefectural office hall on the fifteenth day of this month, that is, one day before the deadline set by the superiors. It is agreed that each pot will seal three jars of wine to participate in the competition, and the selected three jars of wine will be left, and the unselected ones will be pulled back by each of the three jars.

As I spoke, the 15th day of November was the end of the day. Before the time came, the owners of the eleven pots in Ansu Realm, such as Zhang Shuting, the owner of "Runquanyong", Zhang Lianqi, the owner of "Juheyong", Qi Fengchi, the owner of "Jujiuxian", Zhao Zilong, the owner of "Deyichang", etc., as well as the three jars of wine they each sent. Of course, every pot is not just the owner of the pot, everyone comes with a few guys, plus a famous gentleman in Ansu who was invited by the county office. The game had not yet begun, and the county office hall was already noisy and bustling.

To cut a long story short, after a simple ceremony, the tryouts officially began. The purity of the first round is compared to the wine. I saw that three children's fist-sized wine cups were placed in front of each wine jar in advance, and I saw the public who presided over the competition at the county office shouted:

"Pour the wine!"

Then he saw that each of them quickly opened the altar and poured the wine of the three jars with a wine lift, and filled the wine cups the size of the fists of the three children. When it was full, I heard the duke shout again:

"Ignition!" ，

In front of each wine shop, there is a public official to supervise the competition. After listening to the sound of "igniting the fire", the pot burners "clicked" again, and lit the three wine cups that were full of wine in front of the altar in turn. There are 33 jars of wine in 11 pots, and 33 jars of wine are 33 wine cups the size of a child's fist, and the wine cup is full of wine, to be lit, and 33 sky blue flames, like 33 devil's tongues, lick the wine in the wine cup layer by layer. The whole chamber was getting hotter.

Wang Qintang led a group of public servants such as Xiao Ma and Xiao Zhang to inspect the burning of wine in each wine cup one by one. Although they didn't understand wine, when they agreed on the rules of the game, they already knew that the more wine in the cup burned, the purer the wine. The purer the wine will be able to pass the first level and qualify for the next round.

Seeing that the past was just a stick of incense, the wine in the wine cups in front of each wine jar was fully burned, some had long been extinguished, and some were about to be extinguished. At this time, I saw the public guarding in front of each wine jar, picked up a towel, picked up the three hot wine cups one by one, and poured them into one wine cup, that is, the so-called "three-in-one". If a cup can completely hold the leftovers of the three cups, it means that the wine brought by the pot is purer and can move on to the next round. If you can't hold it, I'm sorry, and you will be eliminated in the first round.

After this pouring, only the wine of the four pots of the South Pot, the North Pot, the Gathering Wine Fairy, and the Deyichang Pot can be "three-in-one", that is, the leftovers of the three cups of wine can be poured into one cup of wine, and the wine of the other pots can not be held after burning.

After the first round, the other pot owners all pulled their respective wines back. In addition, the wine of the four pots of the South Pot, the North Pot, the "Jujiuxian" and the "Deyichang" were marked by the public and transported to another room separated from the council hall again. Only the officials of the county office are allowed to enter this room, and no one else is allowed to enter or leave.

After the wine of the four pots was removed, the tables, chairs and benches were set up again in the council room, and the famous gentlemen invited by the county office sat down with the owners and men of the pots, and began the second round of the competition. This round of competition, also known as the tasting, is to see which one tastes more pure and delicious. The purest wine and the best taste will participate in the competition of Zhili Province.

Before the start of the game, in another room, the public had numbered the wine in each pot, one, two, three, four, and in the council room, everyone put paper, pen and ink in front of them, and the words excellent, good, and poor were written on the paper. Whether it is a gentleman or a pot owner or a fellow, after each round of wine is finished, he must circle his opinion on that piece of paper, whether it is good or good. At this time, I heard the public who presided over the game shouting again:

"Serve!"

With this shout, I saw that the county office was in charge of filling the wine cups in the wine jar marked No. 1, and then held it up on a tray in front of the gentlemen sitting at the table and the owners or men of the pots.

"Open!"

With another shout from the host. Everyone picked up the wine cup, or smelled or sipped, or licked it with the tip of their tongues, and drank it in their stomachs, in different shapes, and the sound of "bar" when the lips opened and closed was even louder.

At this time, look at Zhang Lianqi, the owner of the North Burning Pot. Zhang Lianqi and his buddies sat at the same table, and when the No. 1 wine was served, he saw Zhang Lianqi lying on the wine cup and sucked it several times with his nose, and after sucking, he picked up the wine cup and took a few sips, smacked it in his mouth, and after smacking and touching, he was completely sure that the No. 1 wine was the wine of the North Burning Pot, so he looked at the guys, several guys were also smelling, and they also smacked with their mouths after smelling, and when they saw Zhang Lianqi nodding, they also nodded at Zhang Lianqi. After nodding to each other, they looked at each other, and quickly drew a circle on the word "excellent". The other gentlemen and the owners and men of the other seven pots who were eliminated in the first round were completely based on their feelings, and they were more fairly "excellent" or "good" or "poor".

Soon, the results of the second round came out. No. 3 wine is the most "excellent", followed by No. 1 wine, and No. 4 again. However, there is only a difference of two votes between the number of "excellent" and the number of "excellent" wines. In the end, the wine that was marked No. 3 won.

Looking at the No. 3 wine again, as soon as the public announced it, it turned out that it was not the wine of another pot, but the wine sent by the south pot. In fact, the pot owners are not interested in participating in any foreign competitions, but the prefectural governor wants everyone to participate in the election, and the pot owners dare not come to the election. But the election is a candidacy, and everyone knows in their hearts that the south pot is the most famous pot in the local area, with a high alcohol content and pure wine, which is also recognized by everyone. The wine brewed by the house cannot be compared with the wine of the south pot at all, or in other words, the final victory of the south pot is also expected by everyone, which is expected.

Therefore, as soon as the final results were announced, all the pot owners and men got up one after another, ready to pull their own pot wine and return. But at this moment, I heard someone in the council hall suddenly shout:

"Everyone, go slowly!"
