Chapter 148: Football and Wine Culture
Wenger looked at Lao Liu intently, as if he had seen through Lao Liu's heart.
Lao Liu's voiceover: Can you try your best to complete the fight for a place in the play-offs, and still have enough strength to defeat the two opponents in front of you?
Arsene Wenger: Then it's up to your luck.
In fact, Wenger already had the answer to this question before it was raised, with Lao Liu's surname, in the current situation, let him admit defeat before the play-offs, it is impossible to retain his strength, no one can say anything about the future, and no one even wants to think about it, everyone is trying to do a good job in front of them, so the professor is ready to be overstretched in the play-offs.
Lao Liu suddenly smiled, just like the thawing of the glacier in spring, and a smile that could be infectious suddenly appeared on his face, which made Wenger a little confused.
"Professor, I need to go back and think about it, in the evening, casserole house, let's talk while drinking."
"This guy, what kind of medicine is sold in his stomach?" The professor found that he still didn't understand the Chinese......
Wenger rarely drinks alcohol, but he likes the Chinese Luzhou Laojiao, I don't know why, it is a preference, it is said that ten kinds of wine including Moutai, Wuliangye, Erguotou, and Luzhou Laojiao are poured into ten glasses and placed side by side, Wenger ...... Of course, you can't smell which Luzhou Laojiao is, and he's not a master wine taster in China, but after you tell him which is which, he will definitely drink Luzhou Laojiao, and then tell you that this is the best liquor, and he won't move anything else.
The casserole houses in London are not authentic, and Yanjing people feel as if they are eating something else that Cantonese people make with casseroles, but Lao Liu still often goes there with Wenger, for the simple reason that there are Luzhou Laojiao for sale.
The professor is a very professional coach, and although he usually drinks a good sip, he never gets drunk, because every time he has a fixed five small cups, which add up to only three taels, and each time he drinks to the most comfortable level.
Today, the professor's third cup has already been swallowed, and Lao Liu is still not in a hurry to talk about the competition, and chats with the professor about the wine culture of China and South Korea.
"Chinese drink to pay attention to the result, Koreans drink to pay attention to the process, several Chinese drink together, first of all, we must clarify today's goal, to accompany the guests well, that is, to drink the guests down, so often see people who invite a good amount of wine to eat, the host usually has to bring a few to accompany the wine, these people can have nothing to do with this meal, and the guests will not know each other in the past, but can accompany the guests to get drunk, even if the task is completed, so Chinese drinking lies in the result, drunk is to drink well, drunk is polite in place."
Lao Liu drank several times more than Wenger today, he usually doesn't drink, but as long as he dips it, he is willing to drink more, fortunately, the amount of alcohol is good, unless there is a very polite owner to work hard, he generally will not get too drunk.
"As for Koreans, drinking is a kind of catharsis for them, the catharsis of work pressure, they are tortured in front of the leader in the first half of the day, so they make an appointment with some colleagues and friends at night, and vent their grievances and dissatisfaction through wine......
"Yes, I've heard that when I was teaching in the past, I once attended a banquet in Yueben, and I thought there were too many of them drinking, and then someone told me that Korea was even more powerful." Arsene Wenger chimed in.
"They have Loyalty, Solidarity, depth charges and grenades, Professor, have you seen any of these?"
Wenger shook his head, thinking to himself, just my old body and bones, and grenades and bombs together, didn't I have no bones? But drinking and chatting about wine is also quite interesting, "Tell me, what kind of drinking method is it." ”
"Unity wine is generally a company, or a department of people together, before the banquet, in order to show everyone's unity and cooperation, with a large basin filled with a number of bottles of liquor and a number of bottles of beer, everyone in turn holding the basin to drink, and finally passed to the leader or the highest level of people, must be drunk, if the team is not united enough, then the last person is bitter, how much is left to drink, which requires everyone must reasonably judge the amount they should bear and ensure completion."
Arsene Wenger picked up his fourth glass of wine, touched it with Lao Liu, drank it all, and touched his mouth, "It seems to be a good way." ”
Lao Liu smiled, "As for the loyalty wine, it is a little unacceptable, when the banquet is about to end, the remaining various wines and all the vegetable soups, soy sauce, vinegar and other seasonings on the table, and even the water in the ashtray will be poured together, if there is a big leader, it will even be poured into the leader's shoes, and then everyone will drink it separately." ”
Wenger just drank a mouthful of shredded soup with needle mushrooms, and before he could swallow it, when he heard this, he almost sprayed Lao Liu's face, and he was choked and coughed, "Who are these people?" ”
Lao Liu handed over a few napkins, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to where you were drinking soup, and you continued?" ”
Wenger thought to himself, you don't just want to introduce me to Chinese and Korean wine culture today, you have to see what kind of medicine you sell in your gourd, I also let go today, it's a big deal not to drink soup, "Say, it's interesting." ”
It's kind of interesting.
"Just two are collective drinking methods, depth charges and grenades are individual events."
"I've heard of depth charges, don't you just mix them with liquor and beer?"
"It's not that simple, throw the liquor glass into the beer bunch, cover the mouth with a towel, shake it up and down, and then drink it in one gulp, and throw the towel to the wall, only if you can't stick it, you can finish drinking, I've seen someone who hasn't stuck it several times in a row, so you have to keep drinking."
"There are also grenades, prick an eye on the canned beer can, pour some beer out, and then pour the corresponding liquor into it, block the pierced eye with your hand, shake the beer can vigorously, when the pressure inside is the greatest, pull the ring and drink it dry in one gulp as fast as possible, I heard that the current record is 4 seconds 5, and people who are not prepared for this drinking method can get drunk at that time."
"How do you know so much about the way you drink in Korea, have you ever lived in Korea?"
"Hey, I used to work for people and always had to receive Koreans, to be honest, I don't look down on them, what president, executive director, serious during the day, everything is domineering, but when you drink at night, you can make out any ugly look."
"Okay, Lao Liu, I heard you say that these are quite insightful, but aren't we going to make that decision?" Arsene Wenger had already picked up the fifth glass of wine, he was already full, and Lao Liu kept talking about it, which made him dizzy.
"Although I don't like Koreans, but I think their way of doing things is more real, surnamed, they are extremely relaxed and happy when drinking, not like Chinese when they drink like they are fighting, and there is no fun in persuading and being persuaded, so I think we should also try to enjoy the process, don't be too rigid about the result, you must often hear the Chinese Football Association when you are in the book, "cross a heart, must be out of the line." "But which time did you qualify?" Lao Liu made an exception and filled Wenger with a sixth cup of wine, the professor didn't stop it, he heard it, Lao Liu said that those were pointed, and he was thinking about what Lao Liu really meant.
"Our goal is to qualify, right, but now there are two steps to qualify, to get into the play-offs and to win in the play-offs, and if we do our best and overdraw all the abilities of the main players, just to qualify for the play-offs, I think it's like the Chinese way of drinking, it's not only painful but also too costly, so my opinion is that we should play in the most reasonable and effective way, no matter what way it is, or the old saying, do our best and obey the destiny of God."
Wenger pondered, and subconsciously drank the sixth cup of wine.
