Chapter Twenty-Three: Pondering the Dead and Discussing the Virtues of Wine
Zhou Lishui was stunned for a moment, then got up and bowed: "The younger generation loves wine in his life, but he doesn't drink everyone's wine, and he only drinks with two kinds of people in this life; I didn't know what it meant when the seniors mentioned that the juniors didn't know how to drink."
Xie Wei sighed and said, "May I ask if the little brother knows the origin of this rice wine, how to drink it, and what kind of utensils should be used to match the mellow aroma of this rice wine?"
Zhou Lishui was stunned and immediately saluted: "I still hope that my predecessors will advise"
Xie Wei unhurriedly wiped his beard and continued: "You must pay attention to drinking utensils when drinking, and you will use any wine glass to drink. Otherwise, it will be a loss of this good mellow fragrance, the general sorghum wine is not a bronze wine, as for this good rice wine, although its taste is beautiful, it is lost in sweetness, slightly thin, when drunk with a big bucket, it shows its spirit. Otherwise, it's a pity that this is a delicious old man," he said, picked up the big bowl and poured himself a drink.
Zhou Lishui's life love for wine then shouted again: "Xiao Er came to talk about good Shanxi Fenjiu" This week Lishui is also interested today, and he is also deliberately testing this old man who speaks big, to see if he is really a person who understands wine, and he also wants to take this opportunity to increase his knowledge, so as not to lose face in front of the banquet people.
It didn't take long for Xiao Er to send a jar of Shanxi Fen wine, only to see that Xie Wei was not in a hurry to take out a fine jade wine cup from his arms, poured a glass and said loudly: "Good wine, good wine" and then said: "Drink Fen wine when using a jade cup, the Tang people have a poem: 'The jade bowl holds amber light.'" It can be seen that the jade bowl and jade cup can increase the color of the wine. ”
Zhou Lishui sat there for a moment, and gave a thumbs up in his heart.
shouted loudly: "The predecessor is really the god of wine in the world, which makes me admire and admire, Xiao Er has any good wine, although it comes up, I am happy today, and I want to be with the predecessor without getting drunk and not returning."
After a while, Kung Fu Xiaoer sent a few jars, what Baicao wine, Shaoxing champion red, pear blossom wine, Yulu wine, and Guanwai wine that can't be named.
But I didn't know that the old man poured several kinds of wine into a big bowl and drank it all and said: "This is a hundred wine pilgrimage, good wine and good wine! This kind of drinking method can only be accepted by my old man, haha・・・・・・" Then he said: "Ancient clouds: Hundred herbs and fine wine, is to collect a hundred herbs, soak in the wine, so the wine is fragrant, such as the suburbs of spring, people get drunk before drinking." To drink this herb wine, you must use an ancient vine cup. The hundred-year-old vine is carved into a cup, and drinking herb wine greatly increases the aroma. After speaking, he took out a rattan wine maker from his arms, put it in front of Zhou Lishui, poured a glass, and said, "Can you taste it?"
Zhou Lishui nodded affirmatively at Xie Wei and drank it all, blurting out: "The fragrance of a hundred herbs is hard to find!"
Xie Wei then said: "Drink Shaoxing champion red mustache with ancient porcelain cup, the best is Jingdezhen ceramics, the Sui Dynasty was still good during the great cause, the early Tang Dynasty official kiln was barely available, and the local pottery was inevitably vulgar." Drinking pear blossom wine should be used jade cup, Hangzhou restaurant sells this pear blossom wine, hanging is a green flag like dripping cui, reflecting the pear blossom wine is extraordinarily spiritual, drinking this pear blossom wine, naturally it should be a jade cup. ”
At this time, Zhou Lishui was already salivating, and he couldn't care about picking up the wine jar and drinking it one by one.
Xie worriedly shook his head and said: "It's really a drunkard" Unhurriedly, he took out a glass cup from his arms and put it on the table, helping Zhou Lishui to get a cup of Yulu wine and said: "There are books, drink Yulu wine, when you use a glass cup, there are beads in the Yulu wine, and you can see its advantages when you drink it in a transparent glass cup."
Zhou Lishui was secretly admiring this old man, thinking that he was really worthy of being a master in the world and carrying so many wine utensils, he was really a master, and he was secretly admiring the old man opposite, only to hear that Xie Wei glanced at Zhou Lishui.
Picked up the glass cup and said, "Little brother try it?"
Zhou Lishui took the glass cup and saluted and drank it all and said: "Yulu wine with the glass cup of the predecessors can be regarded as Qiong Jelly Yulu, this is the wine from the sky, how drunk can there be in the world" After that, he poured a cup and lowered his head.
Xie Wei continued: "Old Xie Wei doesn't know where the young man inherits?"
Zhou Lishui hurriedly got up and saluted: "Zhou Lishui, the second disciple of the Lower Ziwei Sect, it turns out that the predecessor is the famous drunken immortal Xie senior, who has been admired for a long time, and today's order has benefited the younger generation a lot, please accept the worship of the younger generation" He bowed deeply.
At this time, Cheng Coral had already followed and came to him, and Zhou Lishui continued: "This is my junior sister Cheng Coral"
Cheng Coral hugged his fists and said: "I've seen Senior Xie, I didn't expect that there is such a profound culture in the wine" After that, he sat down in front of Xie Wei and poured a glass and said: "Senior Xie niece toasts you, and I hope that in the future, I will discipline my senior brother a little more, he has a good wine and doesn't care about anything, and he threw me alone in the room and ran out."
That Xie Wei laughed loudly and said, "Haha・・・・・・ haha" laughed and drank it all. "There is a little brother today you and I are very speculative, in the future, don't call me a senior, it sounds awkward, it seems that I am an old man, and in the future, we will be called brothers, and those who are virtuous will return to it, and those who are virtuous in wine are friends."
As the old saying goes, heroes are paired with beauties, and wine is accompanied by heroes, and since ancient times, that hero has rarely been accompanied by good wine, and of course, there are also people with bad drinking virtues, who use wine to provoke immoral corruption, and even murder and arson violate the law.
The moral norms of those who drink alcohol and the chivalrous demeanor that should be seen after drinking, as the saying goes: those who are in harmony are virtuous, those who are out of shape are not virtuous, and those who are evil are even more virtuous. The ancient book Han Yu once said: "The rich children of Chang'an are full of meat." I don't understand the text and drink, but I can get drunk in a red dress. Although it has a loud music, it is like a gathering of floaters. "Isn't that Li Fuchang and the others referring to?
Li Fuchang and other villains indulged in excessive drinking, indulged in the filthy land of wine, turned from the meaning of drinking simple cultural cultivation to the physiological stimulation, and became the source of pollution in the rivers and lakes, and turned to harm Feng Xuanjian's father and daughter, which is really hateful, and then they did their own evil and could not live, so that they died unexpectedly, is this not sad? People who drink must be virtuous, and they cannot be like Emperor Yang of Sui: "Subvert the virtue and be absurd in wine"
Zhou Lishui and Xie Wei had a long talk very speculatively, and said: "In the past, I only drank for fun, but I didn't know the connotation of this wine, today I really benefited a lot, the predecessors not only pay attention to drinking, but also know a lot about the virtue of this wine, today is really a great benefit to the younger generations" Then he picked up the wine cup and said: "The younger generation is fortunate to get acquainted with the old-timers, and this glass of wine is a tribute to the seniors" and said: "Another glass of wine to the teachings of the predecessors - virtue" The two laughed after drinking.
Cheng Coral laughed as if he didn't understand.
In today's society, we live in a high-tech era, and wine has become an indispensable conductor for business negotiations and friends, but how many people understand the meaning of this "wine virtue"? Drinking needs to be drunk according to one's ability, and it cannot be short-lived; wine is not too much but more expensive than the right amount, and it is not necessary to drink without strength.
"Drinking and Eating" pointed out: "It is better to drink less, and drinking more hurts the mind and damages life, which changes people's nature, and its poison is even worse." Excessive drunkenness, the source of death. ”。 The "Compendium of Materia Medica" also points out: "If the husband indulges in indulgence and is drunk as a rule, he will cause illness and defeat at the least, and even hurt the body and death, and the harm can be very great!" That is to say, excessive drinking will hurt the body and the second.
In addition, drinking needs to be tempered and learn self-restraint; everything is kept in three points so that it will not be chaotic, "Three Kingdoms" Pei Songzhi quoted "Guan Zhi Biography", saying that Guan Lu is slightly self-motivated and inspiring: "Wine can not be extreme, only can not be exhausted." I want to hold wine as a courtesy, and hold on to talent as foolishness, what is the danger?" is to refrain from greed and talent.
Cao Zhi of Wei Guo was "willful and self-motivated, drinking modestly", "often drinking without joy, and then getting sick", at the age of 41. And Yan Ying admonished Qi Jinggong to drink abstinently, and Shantao drank a lot of alcohol, but he couldn't drink eight buckets per time, which has always been regarded as a good story. Moreover, some people who really drink alcohol cannot be forced, and some almost sadistic drinkers during the banquet, they are messing around, pressing step by step, increasing the weight layer by layer, and they must put the guests drunk and then fast, and they are full of words, all of them should be indulged in and bold, and evil should be fun.
Drinking alcohol by a strong man is not only a pleasure to spoil, but also prone to accidents and even death. Therefore, as a host, when entertaining guests, we must be both warm and sincere, lively and sensible. Don't force people to make it difficult and insist on drinking. Or is it not pleasing to the Lord?
The two of them were very speculative and didn't realize that a few hours had passed, and at this time a few people rushed in at the door, led by the evil young Li Fuchang, only to see that Li Fuchang led the evil young people straight to Zhou Lishui and others, and couldn't help but say that a knife was split, and the wine table was split in half, Zhou Lishui and the three of them hurriedly rose in the air to avoid the wine splashed on the wine table, and Li Fuchang was so angry that he couldn't help but say and slashed at Zhou Lishui, Zhou Lishui hurriedly dodged, dodged and said: "Who should I be, it turns out that you are an evil young man, I was about to go to find you, but I didn't expect to send it to the door?"
A glass of liquor flowed from Zhou Lishui's hand in front of his feet, "Big brother Feng, little brother, get rid of this bully behind the scenes for you now, Lingling will go all the way" A trace of sadness flowed in his eyes as he spoke.
