one Teacher Mo Yan: Hello!If I remember correctly, I have sent you eight works in a row, but I have not received a single word from the editors of "National Literature". I think it is inappropriate to be so indifferent to a literary youth.Since they run such a shop, they should treat every contributor kindly. As the saying goes, "Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river", "the world is spinning, you come up and I go down", "a man has no thousand days" Well, there is no flower in a hundred days", "It is difficult for two mountains to meet, but it is easy for two people to meet", there is no guarantee that one day, Zhou Bao and Li Xiaobao will hit the muzzle of my gun!Teacher, from now on, I will never contribute to "National Literature", a reactionary publication that is controlled by bad guys. We are poor and ambitious, the world is vast, and the newspapers are like forests. Why should we hang ourselves on a tree?Did you say you were a teacher?

The preparations for our first Ape Wine Festival are basically ready; I have also figured out the blending plan to treat the sick wine in stock.The samples were sent to the municipal wine tasting team. After brushing their teeth and rinsing their mouths for evaluation, several experts agreed that the wine had a unique flavor, like a frail beauty with frowning brows.The City Liquor Naming Association named this wine "Sick Xi Shi", which I think is inappropriate. For "Xizi Yan" or "Daiyu's burial of flowers", it has the meaning of a sick beauty, but the literal meaning is much gentler, more affectionate and more lovable.People from the City Liquor Naming Association are both jealous and conservative, clinging to the "sick Xi Shi". I couldn't bear it, so I found the mayor's secretary with the wine. Yes, take me to meet the mayor.Hearing my statement, the mayor opened his almond-eyed eyes wide and raised his willow eyebrows. He slapped the table to stand up, and then slapped the table to sit down. A reprimand can be said to be just and righteous, just like Mount Tai, pouring soup on an ant nest, burning a beehive, or stabbing a stick in a scorpion nest. Although I can't see it, it is basically equivalent to seeing it: The president Luo squatted on the ground with his legs looped, a layer of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on his head.The mayor praised me greatly, saying that I had made a great contribution to the first Monkey Wine Festival, that is, to the city of Liquor Country.The mayor then gently asked about my family situation, work situation, hobbies, apprenticeship and friendship, and I felt warm in my heart, so I poured out all the words in my heart.The mayor is very concerned about your situation, teacher, and personally told me to invite you to the Ape Wine Festival on her behalf. As for the travel expenses, board and lodging expenses, the mayor said with a sneer: "Take the remaining wine in the wine bottles of Jiuguo City It would be enough to feed ten Mo Yan.

Teacher Mo, I have decided to transfer the naming rights of this new wine to you. It is up to you to decide whether it is "Xiziyan" or "Daiyu Burying Flowers". Of course, if the teacher has a better idea, it will be better.Our mayor promises to pay you a priceless naming fee.In addition, I dare to ask you to write an advertisement text for this wine. We are ready to squeeze the advertisement into the prime time of CCTV at all costs, and recommend "Daiyu Burying Flowers" or "Xizi" to the people of the whole country and even the world. knit the brows".Therefore, this advertisement is very important. It must be humorous and vivid, so that people can see sister Lin Daiyu or Xi Shi, frowning, holding a pickaxe and grumbling cherry blossoms. The mouth flutters like a weak willow in the wind, and no one can bear not to buy it, especially those young men and women who are suffering from lovesickness, lovelorn disease, nervousness and have a certain degree of classical literature. Buy it, drink it, appreciate it, use it to cure your love disease, or use it as a sugar-coated shell to launch a spiritual and material attack or material spiritual stimulation on your favorite person in order to achieve your goal.Under the guidance of your lingering and heartbreaking advertisements, the sickly taste of this wine will turn into a sickly and charming taste of love, anesthetizing many people who like to dive into the romantic mood of novels to serve as A character's pale hearts of underdeveloped petty bourgeois young men and women in China, giving them ideals, hope, and strength so that they will not commit suicide because of their feelings.So this wine will become the love wine that shocked the world, so all the shortcomings of this wine will become prominent features and attract people's attention.Teacher, in fact, many human tastes are the result of training.When everyone says something is good, no one dares to say it is bad. The taste of the public has a high authority, just like the authority of the organization director of the municipal party committee over a grassroots cadre. If you say you are not good, you are not good and you are not good.In addition, drinking and eating are all behaviors that become obsessed with food, like the new and dislike the old, like adventure, and seek excitement.Many so-called delicacies are the result of a betrayal of tradition and a flouting of the law.If you are tired of eating white and fragrant tofu, you will eat stinky tofu full of mold. If you have enough of fat and tender pork, you will eat maggots that breed in rotten pork.In the same way, if you are tired of drinking the real nectar, you will seek the bitter, spicy and sour taste to stimulate the oral mucosa and taste buds on the tongue.Therefore, as long as we guide it well, there is no liquor that cannot be sold.I hope that the teacher can catch a few words in the gap between writing novels. With our mayor’s big words on the ground, you will get a rich embellishment. Maybe the novel you have written for half a year is better than writing an advertisement I make a lot of money.

I am still very busy these days. When our mayor talked with me, he revealed a great idea: he wanted me to take the lead in setting up a writing team to draft a "Liquor Law". "Liquor Law" is naturally the fundamental law of wine, involving all aspects of wine.If this matter is successful, it is no exaggeration to say that it will surely create a new era of wine, which will illuminate the future and benefit all generations.This is a historic creation. I sincerely invite my teacher to participate in the drafting group of the "Liquor Law".If it works, I hope the teacher will not reject me.

This letter was written in a rush of tongues and whispers, but it was basically messy. The reason is naturally the wine. Please forgive me.Enclosed with this letter is a new realism novel that I created last night in a drunken trance. Teachers are welcome to criticize and correct me.Whether this novel is recommended or not is decided by the teacher, and the students create it in order to pursue an auspicious number.I have always respected the word "nine" like a god. This novel titled "Wine City" is my ninth work. I hope it is like a new star that can illuminate my dark past and also illuminate my front rough road.

Waiting for you, waiting for you, my dear teacher, the mountain here is waiting for you, the water here is waiting for you, the young man here is waiting for you, the girl here is waiting for you, the girl is like a flower. The aroma of wine overflowing like heavenly music... Tribute Daan! Student: Li Yidou two "Wine City" No matter where you are on the earth, you can reach our wine city by plane, ship, camel, donkey or even an old sow.All roads lead to Rome, and all roads lead to the city of wine. There are many beautiful places in the world, but there are not many places that are more beautiful than our city of wine. Not many are too vague, so let’s just say no!The people in Jiucheng are straightforward, like a howitzer barrel. There are several rounds of rifles in the howitzer barrel. We in Jiucheng don’t even have rifling wires in our stomachs. A stick is inserted through the mouth and comes out from the anus. Don't turn corners, this is the character of our wine city people.To be clear, Jiucheng is also the capital of our Jiuguo City, so please don’t get me wrong if I missed something.

A hundred miles away from our wine city, you can smell the aroma of wine, and with a blunt nose, you can smell it within fifty miles.It's not that I'm magical, but that I'm realistic: Boeing planes fly over our wine city, always turning somersaults involuntarily, innocent and lively, romantic and passionate, drunk and hazy, plowing clouds and raining, turning upside down, but Safety can be guaranteed. Comrades, gentlemen, ladies and friends, you don't have to worry about it, because at that time you were innocent and lively on the plane like a drunk puppy.The taste is wonderful and peculiar, and I advise everyone to fly to the wine city to experience the delicious taste of the earth and heaven.

In the center of our wine city is the seat of the Municipal Committee. In the courtyard of the municipal committee, there is a large white wine jar; in the courtyard of the city hall, there is a large black wine jar.Don't think that there is irony here, absolutely not.Since the reform and opening up, in order to improve the lives of the people as soon as possible, the party committees and governments in various places have racked their brains to come up with ideas, combining the actual situation in various places with the spirit of the central government, and creating many methods and methods. Selling water for water, developing tourism for scenery, and making smoke for smoke... For more than ten years, ghost towns, smoke capitals, and firecracker cities have emerged... Our wine country is characterized by a lot of wine and good wine, so the municipal party committee, The city government has paid close attention to wine, established a brewing university, prepared to build a brewing museum, expanded twelve old wineries, and built three new large-scale wineries that concentrate the essence of global winemaking technology.With wine as the leader, it has driven the special service industry, catering industry, and the breeding of precious livestock and poultry... Now, the wine country smells of wine everywhere, and every household has good wine; there are thousands of hotels, brightly lit day and night, and staggered wine.The fine wine and delicacies of the wine country have attracted a large number of domestic and foreign tourists, diners, and alcoholics. They come to the wine city for sightseeing, drinking and eating good food. all around the world.The wine goes out and the dollars come in.In recent years, the annual tax paid by Jiuguo City to the country has reached XXX billion yuan, making a huge contribution.At the same time, the living standards of the people in Liquor Country have also been greatly improved. They have long been "moderately prosperous", and now they are heading towards "moderately prosperous".It is "communism".Having said that, you will also understand how important the wine jars and wine jars shaped in the courtyard of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government are.

Readers, a few idle articles, let the literati get to the point: everyone in the city of wine, while you are admiring the color, smelling the aroma, and tasting the taste of wine in the wine country, listen to me Talk about wine, listen to the beauties beside you sing wine songs, enjoy it to the fullest, don't be polite, there are only a thousand glasses of wine when you meet a bosom friend, just talk if you don't speculate.The shelf in front of you is full of fine wines from the wine country, and the table behind the shelf is full of delicacies of all kinds. Please do your best and get what you need. Drinking is free, and eating is free. Yes, I am the executive director of the organizing committee. I originally planned to charge a symbolic food fee of 50 cents per person. Our mayor said that it was a hypocritical act of a bitch to set up an archway. 50 cents is not even half a donkey. I can't buy it, what do I charge?Besides, the people who are seated today are all distinguished guests from afar. If you accept money from you, it will make the world laugh out loud, and the dental hospital will make a fortune. A newly developed tooth filling material that never wears out. If you have dental disease, please go to the doctor as soon as possible, and it will be free of charge.With this kind of teeth, you are not afraid of cold, hot, sour or sweet. You can bite copper and chew iron. There is no stubborn food that can stop your sharp teeth.This is an interlude, please listen to the main topic: people in Jiucheng have been brewing wine for at least 3,000 years, and a large number of unearthed cultural relics have provided us with ancient information.Please watch the video: This place is called Moonlight Pile, and there are ancient ruins lying quietly under the pile. More than 3,000 cultural relics have been unearthed, half of which are wine vessels: this is a goblet, this is a toast, this is a bowl, and this is an urn , This is the 罍, this is the Jue... everything.Experts have verified that the Yueguangdui site was 3,500 years ago, and it was in the late Xia Dynasty.In that distant age, there was already a lot of wine and wine here.Now, there is a very bad trend in the wine world: one after another pulls up banners to make tiger skins. You say your wine is more drunk than Dayu, and I say mine is more drunk than Kangxi; Alcohol anesthetized Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty... and so on, it can be said that the spread of fallacies has caused a lot of harm.Our wine city is seeking truth from facts and convincing people with evidence.Friends, please look at this brick. This is not an ordinary brick. It is a portrait brick of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was unearthed in our wine city.The picture above the brick is the winemaking picture.We are delighted to see that there was a division of labor and cooperation in the production process in the winemaking production in the country of wine at that time: in the picture, the woman holding the large round pot on the brewing vat with her left hand is stirring the cooling water in the pot with her right hand; The man at the left end of the wine trough is watching the process of receiving the wine intently; the man carrying two buckets on his shoulders at the bottom of the picture is the person in charge of supplying water in the bad room... This picture vividly depicts several The production process of winemaking thousands of years ago is exactly the same as that described by my teacher Mo Yan in his book "Gaoliang Liquor".Please look at the second brick, this is the "Wine Shop Picture", the shop faces the street, there are many wine jars, the owner of the hotel stands inside the counter, and two guests are dancing and running towards the hotel at the upper left.Look at the third brick again. This is the "Banquet Picture". There are seven people in the picture, three in the center and two on the left and right.In front of the banquet, jugs and jubilees are juxtaposed, dishes and bowls are laid out horizontally, and everyone raises their glasses and encourages each other. The scene is the same as today.My long-winded, so far, three bricks, hard and heavy proof that our wine city is the source of the wine culture of the Chinese nation, completely smashed the lies made up around the history of wine, smashed the King Yu bottle, broke Overlord Cup.Concubine Yang Guifei is the daughter of our wine country. Every time the hot spring water is slippery and cleansing, she has to pour a bucket of sorghum wine brewed by our wine country into the pool. Otherwise, her skin would not be so smooth, and her demeanor would be so smooth. Where will it be like a crabapple in spring with rain?Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was the son of a native of Liquor Country. When he was born, his mother had no milk, so his father poured soju into his mouth. How can a child who grew up drinking spirits compare with a child who grew up on breast milk?Braggarts and liars, quickly pour your wine into the river. The wine in the wine city is the wine of history, and the wine in the wine city is soaked in the classics of Han culture.

Comrades, liars have forgotten a common sense. Distilled wine first appeared in the Han Dynasty, and only fermented wine was available in the era of King Yu.The portrait bricks of the Han Dynasty prove that the revolution in the history of wine making broke out in the country of wine. Friends, like the Liquan River flowing day and night, the fine wines in Jiucheng have experienced a long period of time and entered a mature period.In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, there appeared the "Fu Datang" distillery and the "Bubujiao wine" brewed by He's family, which is now difficult to find out.On this basis, the "Fujiaotang" shochu workshop and the first wine in the wine city: "Yunyu Daqu" appeared.

It is said that during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, a small businessman surnamed Yuan had a name of Sanliu.He first opened a shop to sell wine, and then set up a workshop to make wine.He was good at absorbing the traditional craftsmanship of various restaurants in the wine city at that time, and wanted to create a famous brand, but unfortunately died of illness early.It was not until his third generation grandson that this long-cherished wish was realized.Yuan Jiuwu, the grandson of the third generation of Yuan, inherited his ancestors' experience in brewing wine, and with richer market experience than his ancestors, he chose Nuerjing Street, where the Niangniang Temple is located outside the east gate of the wine city, to start his business during the Qianlong period. . According to legend, there is a sea eye under the Niangniang Temple. If the sea eye is stirred, the wine city will become an ocean.In order to avoid floods, the masses raised funds to build a temple, and molded a golden empress, suppressing it on the sea eye.Niangniang temple is full of incense, especially on the eighth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar every year. There is a temple fair here, burning incense, and it is very lively. Huan Ma called.This is indeed a treasured land of geomantic omen for wine making and selling.Yuan Jiuwu bought land next to the Niangniang Temple to build a house named "Fujiaotang", and built a distillery next to the daughter's well. The daughter's well is one mile away from the Niangniang Temple. It originates from the Liquan River. After being filtered by sand and stone, it is clear and sweet. It is known as the No. 1 well in the city of wine.According to legend, a peerless beauty was drowned in this well.After death, the beauty turns into a cloud, covering the mouth of the well, and stays there for a long time.The three generations of grandsons surnamed Yuan have not forgotten that their daughter Jing once provided high-quality water for the famous wine "Bubujiao" in the former dynasty.He is the master who creates fine wines, and of course he has a far-reaching historical vision that is superior to others. "Fujiaotang" chooses daughter's well water to create new wine, not only because "water is the blood of wine", and it has brewed "Bubujiao", but also because of "the soul of the spirit of wine", it itself contains rich historical and cultural connotations. Unusual ambitions, unusual skills, and unusual clear springs, of course, brought about an unusual beginning. "Yunyu Daqu" was a great success as soon as it came out. "Fujiaotang" is full of people, and there are endless streams of short-clothes gangs, long-shirted guests, old fried dough sticks, and hooligans.A poet named Li Sandou wrote two poems praising "cloud and rain wine", which said: The spring has been hidden for a long time in the temple of the empress, and the fragrance of the well water turns into clouds. After all, beauties are beautiful in color, causing people to be fascinated by fine wines. The water makes clothes and clouds, and Liu Ling is drunk with nothing on. There is no need to dream after drinking the clouds and rain, it is better than a love in Wushan. Although the poem is written a bit rascally, it does express the beauty of this cloud and rain wine. The address of "Fujiaotang" is located in front of the Niangniang Temple, with a store in the front and a workshop in the back. The products can directly meet the drinkers.Pedestrians come to visit the Niangniang Temple, and they can see the huge plaque with black characters on the gold background from a long distance.The large cursive characters on the plaque are written in a chic and elegant manner, and are written by Mr. Jin Maogui, a famous calligrapher all over the country.On both sides of the gate are couplets written by the famous scholar Madam Breeches. The couplet says: Seated eyebrows condense two infatuated Go out with a heart in your hand The furnishings in the store are elegant and pretty, gentle and pleasant.In the middle of the store, there is a painting of colored ink hanging in the central hall. The artist is Ms. Li Mengniang, a master of painting in the country of wine. The painting shows a drunken concubine, naked, with plump muscles, especially the two nipples, which are as red as two big cherries.It's a pleasure to come here for a drink. The drinking vessels in the store are unique compared to the general hotels in the wine city.Their jugs are all made in the shape of a beautiful woman's thigh, and their capacity is divided into one tael, three taels, and half a catty, which can be selected by the drinker at will.Hold its legs, taste its taste, don't have a taste in your heart.Beautiful, wonderful, wonderful. The hotel has a great reputation, and there are endless anecdotes. According to legend, on a cold winter night during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, heavy snow fell and the ground was covered with white. The staff of the "Fujiaotang" hotel had to close the door to rest. It is said that the petites in the family want to drink Yunyu wine, so they brave the snow to sell it.Reluctantly, the wine in the store was sold out that day, and the boss apologized repeatedly, but the customer insisted on not returning.The boss was moved by his sincerity and asked the apprentices to go to the warehouse to get wine. Unexpectedly, when the warehouse door opened, the aroma of wine poured out, and the customers rushed into the wine warehouse with lanterns.The apprentice couldn't stop him, so the lights flickered for a while, burning the cage paper, which affected the wine storehouse and caused a big fire.The burning liquor flowed around, and after engulfing the warehouses and shops of "Fujiaotang", it flowed into the opposite Niangniang Temple like blue dragons, burning the temple into ruins.Gentlemen, don’t forget that it was snowing heavily that night, the ground was covered with jade chips and jade, and the blue fire flowed everywhere, reflecting the whiteness of the sky and the ground.After the fire, the cause of the fire and the circumstances of the fire were spread miraculously. The reputation of "Fujiaotang" was greatly improved by the fire. After the reconstruction, the business was even more prosperous.This fire undoubtedly made a big advertisement for "Fujiaotang". "Yunyu Daqu" is not only mellow and sweet, but also unparalleled in fragrance and beauty.In the late spring of one year, the boy in the burning shop opened a basket to scoop up wine, accidentally poured the wine into the neighbourhood, and immediately the fragrance wafted away.A flock of birds happened to fly by in the sky, they circled and lost their way, and fell heavily on the street.Fish sink and wild goose fall.Mesmerizing.A thousand kinds of tenderness.Everything is romantic.There is a poem that says: A glass of cloud and rain passes through the throat, and all kinds of scenery come to life. This wine should only exist in the sky, how many times can we taste it in the world? Ladies and gentlemen, I have already said a lot about the benefits of this "cloud and rain wine".What needs to be added is: my father-in-law, now Professor Yuan Shuangyu of Jiuguo Brewery University, is the sixth grandson of Mr. Yuan Jiuwu who brewed Yunyu fine wine!After Professor Yuan took the whip to brew the university, he unreservedly contributed his family's unique skills. Under his leadership, under the care and guidance of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, riding on the horses of reform and opening up, in just ten years, we have On the basis of inheritance, Jiuguo City has created more than a dozen kinds of wines that are comparable to Yunyu's fine wines and even more distinctive in some aspects.For example, "Green Ants Overlap", such as "Red Maned Horse", such as "Love at First Sight", such as "Fire Burning Clouds", such as "Ximen Qing", such as "Daiyu Burying Flowers"... What is even more exciting is that my father-in-law Yuan The professor only wears Baiyuanling, unkempt and unkempt, with white hair and youthful face, making friends with apes, learning from wild beasts, absorbing the wisdom of monkeys, inheriting the traditions of his ancestors, and learning from foreign experiences. The successful trial production of ape wine that is unique in the world and a drop of allure! Ape Wine will be grandly launched at the first Ape Wine Festival! A thousand taels of gold is easy to get, but a drop of ape wine is hard to find! Friends, don't hesitate, come to Liquorland! And don't miss it!
