Chapter 73 Drinking all the year round

There are many literati who like to drink. Li Bai once fought a hundred poems on wine, which defined the literati for them to follow. Lu Xun's smoking gave the literati an excuse to stay behind and became a solid basis for smoking and drinking. It has become the law for literati to maintain their health with wine. I was born in the land of Huxiang. I was born in Hunan, which is suffering from dampness and grief. Lu You once said that there is no poetry in Huxiang. Wine is needed to dispel the cold and keep the body warm. Wine is also the best thing for health. .I was born in Huxiang and wrote in Huxiang. My knowledge of Huxiang may be a bit special. I have seen countless Huxiang writers inherit and carry forward the bad habits of literati. The most common sentence when I meet is "I will invite you to drink next time". Wine is not only their living needs, but also their physical needs, and it is the health elixir of Huxiang people.Inviting a drink is not a formality, but a big truth. In Hunan, literati and inkmen gather and sit idle. The only thing they can do is to drink. They have to knock themselves or others down (this is massacre), but they promote wine to the literati who maintain their health. Not much, but Jiang Yibin has already realized the beauty of his health.

I once planned and published a novel "Wine Songs" about the history of the wine-making family. The author is Jiang Yibin, a writer from Hunan.Jiang Yibin is a well-known wine fairy in the literati circle in Hunan. It does not mean that he drinks a lot, but that he likes to drink. He drinks and sings with those literary youths every day. He lives in wine, nourishes and warms up with wine. . Because of drinking, I met Jiang Yibin at a hometown meeting. He knew that I was engaged in book publishing, and he was extremely enthusiastic about me, as if his throat started to heat up after drinking liquor, and he talked about his novel creation and the manuscript in his hand.I mainly go to the market when I make books. At that time, I told him that we publish books to determine whether they can be published based on the popularity of the market. He was even more excited, thinking that his book could become popular all over the country. He asked me to help him once to complete his perennial work. The desire to keep healthy with wine.

I don't like socializing very much and spend more time reading and writing.The next day, I received the manuscript of Jiang Yibin’s book called Tears in Wine. When I saw the name, I felt tacky and couldn’t go to the market. Then I read the content. The story seemed familiar, but there were too few novelties, so I immediately rejected the manuscript.I asked him to give me another manuscript, and he gave me two more novels, both of which were of similar quality after reading.He said that "Tears in Wine" was requested by the Writer's Publishing House, but it was not published because of leadership changes. I know that the editor couldn't say it, but the quality of the manuscript was actually poor.Jiang Yibin is more and more interested in our publications, just like drinking Guojiao 1573, a little addicted.Jiang began to understand my creation, and looked for my published works in newspapers and periodicals, only to realize that my main writing direction is tourism and food. I have written many articles about local wine culture, which not only reflects the local customs and habits, but also tastes the local culture. The different flavors and characteristics of wine form beautiful words.Jiang Yibin discussed with me the secret of using wine to maintain health. In fact, I don't use wine to maintain health, but I can drink alcohol as a communication tool.

We have been dating a lot. I know that he doesn’t get up until eleven or twelve o’clock in the morning, eat a bowl of rice noodles at noon, and start writing for the day. He writes until five o’clock in the afternoon. When there are literary youths or friends in the literary circle, they will drink and bicker and talk big. The way of self-cultivation is noisy and noisy for two or three hours.Jiang Yibin maintains his health with wine, does not get himself drunk, pays attention to having wine every day, drinks every day, lives in wine, and enjoys the pleasure brought by alcohol. This is his secret of keeping himself healthy with wine. A lot of them.My mother started by brewing rice wine. I started drinking when I was a child, and I started to restrain myself from drinking when I was working.I work in a publishing house again, and I have many opportunities to drink. After alcohol training, I can be said to be a person at the drinking table.Drinking with Jiang Yibin is not a problem, and I also talk about my drinking experience and feelings at the wine table, which has become a topic of communication with literati.

After the meal, friends who had nothing urgent to do went to sing. Although they were all Maiba, they sang badly, but they were full of energy and enjoyed it. They took turns singing and ordering songs, and the scene was very lively. The singing, the smell of alcohol, and the smell of smoke smelt so much that I couldn't keep my eyes open.Jiang Yibin regards singing and drinking as leisure, enjoying the comfort of self-cultivation.I like a clean environment. Naturally, I am not used to it in places like karaoke bars, so I seldom participate in it, let alone drink. Jiang Yibin sent me a novel "Neighbors and Right Houses" published ten years ago. After reading this local novel about Changsha slang life, there was a strong smell of alcohol in the middle, which means that he used alcohol to maintain his health The crystallization of the year is a very good work.On the other hand, looking at his later works, I feel that they are too contrived, as if the wine has been mixed with water, which makes it unpleasant to read. In fact, Jiang did not pay attention to life and the current wine, and felt the way of modern wine to cultivate health.The editors studied many times and decided to publish Jiang Yibin's "Tears in Wine", renamed it Jiuge, and operated it as a bestseller in the market, but Jiang Yibin had certain sales tasks.I informed Jiang Yibin of this situation, and he agreed to our request. He specially invited me to have a drink and took out Guojiao 1573, which had been preserved for many years. A winery invests in filming a TV series, and in the future, there will be alcohol drinking all year round, and the purpose of drinking and maintaining health can be achieved.

After Jiang Yibin and the literary youth finished singing, it was already 11 or 12 o'clock in the night, and they began to enter the second half, which is an upgraded version of drinking for health.The literati in Changsha, who were unwilling to go home, came out of various karaoke bars and restaurants, gathered together, and then found a place to have a supper, wash their feet and massage their feet. After a little sober spirit, they drank a lot of wine, and many of them were drunk , Jiang Yibin was also slightly drunk. When he got home at three or four o'clock, he felt refreshed. After writing a magical pen for an hour or two, he went to sleep and didn't wake up until noon the next day.

After all, Jiang Yibin is a figure in the wine market. After "Song of Wine" was published, I sent him forty copies of the sample booklet. He was very satisfied with the book, and even invited me to drink and talk about the beauty of drinking wine. I didn't Yes, he didn't mention book sales. Later, I approached Jiang Yibin a few times, and he called those friends together for a drink. Everyone at the wine table boasted that they wanted hundreds of copies, but there was no news after that.Half a year later, Jiang Yibin's sales task has not been completed one-tenth, and I have no choice but to talk about him as wine, let him live with wine, and seldom talk to the group of them who just want to drink every day of friends.
