Chapter 71 wine tasting

Drinking tea and wine is one of the great pleasures in my life. I will savor them carefully, express them in words, and become a source of inspiration for writing. I used to worry about drinking. If I drank too much, I was afraid that I would make a fool of myself. If I drank too little, I was afraid that my friends would not have fun and would complain. Everyone would break up after eating. I have been thinking about the degree and method of drinking.I often participate in friends' gatherings and drinking with a sincere heart, hoping that everyone will drink deliciously and have fun, but I am frightened because I can't grasp the appropriate degree.

Changsha is a gourmet city with a strong wine culture, and everyone is full of desire to eat and drink.I can't hide myself from the stimulation of alcohol and the circling of the dinner table.Many times, I had no choice but to use defense as offense. When I answered the phone, I knew that the other person showed signs of wanting to eat and drink. I either took the initiative to ask him out or found reasons to evade. At a book planning topic selection meeting, I met a drinker named He Bing, and his behavior moved me.He Bing came to the venue with a bottle of beer in his hand, which made me, a person who has experienced alcohol training, feel impolite.Drink together and don't rush in with a bottle of beer.I observed carefully that He Bing's wine bottle was open and he had already drunk half of it, which made me even more surprised.I have never heard of Chinese people bringing their own drinks at a party, and my psychological doubts are even more layered.

After waiting for a while, several boxes of beer, as well as liquor, red wine, beverages, etc. were brought into our box.After qualifying, I sat next to He Bing and exchanged business cards, only to find out that he is an expert in drama research. A friend once introduced him to me, saying that he is an alcoholic, but he has never been drunk.When I talked about this with Mr. He Bing, he laughed and said frankly: "I used to really like to drink, but I rarely drank it because I was irritable and afraid of accidents when drinking." He paused, and then said: " Since breaking up with my ex-wife, I have been greatly stimulated psychologically, which has a great impact on my body and mind. My skin has been dry for a long time, and it is extremely itchy. As long as my nails are scratched, skin flakes are everywhere. I have also seen many doctors, but I can’t find it. When I got sick, I swam once and scraped the cut on my foot. I used alcohol to debride and disinfect the wound when I went home. The area where the alcohol was applied felt cool and refreshing. The dry skin also turned red, and returned to normal skin color and skin condition. The anxiety in my heart disappeared immediately. , was inspired, put alcohol on the whole body, and felt extremely comfortable. Later, I went to Beijing to consult some medical experts. Under the doctor's advice, I used alcohol for external use instead of alcohol for internal use. I drank a small amount of white wine every day and added a lot of boiled water. I feel comfortable and have no side effects. , my temperament has improved a lot. I can also sit down and read books for a long time. I am no longer anxious, I am no longer excited when I speak, and it is much more natural to communicate with people. Sometimes it is difficult to find boiled water on the road when I am on a business trip. I just drink beer, alcohol The degree is low, and it can replenish water."

After listening to Mr. He Bing's narration, I think it makes sense.In our current urban life, everyone is under great pressure to survive, and anxiety and endocrine disorders are prone to occur.The human digestive system itself contains alcohol, as long as it is properly trained, everyone can drink to improve their alcoholism and capacity for alcohol. According to the specific situation of my irritable personality and refreshing drinking, under the suggestion of Mr. He Bing, I began to change my drinking habits. Every time I participated in banquets and parties, I no longer refused to drink, but I readily agreed.When I sit at the dining table, I eat more vegetables first, and then I eat a bowl of rice before drinking. My stomach is full. I am drinking slowly. taste and fragrance of each wine.After coming down many times, everyone saw that I had a cheerful personality, and offered toast everyone's wine, and felt that I was much more approachable.

During this period, I accepted the invitation of Mr. He Bing many times to drink and gather with friends in his circle. They are all drinkers and drink a lot, but they don’t drink in big bowls and eat meat in big pieces, but in small cups. Taste the taste of wine slowly, feel the fragrance of wine, especially treat tasting wine as a taste of food, talk about the taste of this wine while drinking, express your personal feelings, prolong the banquet time, and improve the quality of eating and drinking.After a few times, I've learned a lot about drinking skills and ways of tasting. When reviewing Mr. He Bing's drinking habits, I thought of my grandfather.Grandpa is a very tough Meishan man. He is a strong man in the local area for rowing and picking tea, and few people can beat him.When I went to my grandpa's house, he had to eat several meals of wine every day. According to my mother's statistics, my grandfather had to have six meals a day with no less wine.Grandpa drank slowly, drinking half a tael of white wine each time, and there were not many appetizers, mostly small fish, fried eggs, thin slices of meat, pork liver, etc.

When I went to my grandpa's house, my grandpa would often lead me to drink, knowing that I couldn't drink baijiu, he would feed me rice wine.In my grandfather's family, dozens of people drink alcohol, and my mother is no exception. She rarely drinks alcohol after marrying her father.It is said that my grandfather used to be a person with all kinds of poisons, playing cards, betting on everything, and sometimes smoking opium. After marrying my grandmother, in order to get rid of these bad habits, he learned to drink some wine.This habit has been maintained until his nineties. In 1999, during the Spring Festival of the year when my grandfather passed away, he also told me to drink wine slowly. I really didn’t expect that this advice from my grandfather was a true book on wine tasting, and it would also affect my life.

Now I drink wine as a kind of fun, to cultivate my body and mind, and to taste the taste of wine.
