Chapter 9 Chapter nine

Mo Yan said, "It's pretty good, I've been a soldier, so I can live anywhere." Li Yidou said: "Originally the city wanted you to stay in the Municipal Party Committee Guest House, but the high-end rooms there were all occupied by foreign guests and compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan who came to participate in the first Monkey Wine Festival." Mo Yan said, "It's better here, I'm afraid of dealing with officials." Li Yidou said: "I know Teacher Mo Yan is a quiet and indifferent person." Yu Yichi grinned and said, "Can the person who wrote "Red Sorghum" be calm and indifferent? Your kid has only been in the Propaganda Department for two days and now he's a sycophant."

Li Yidou said coyly: "Boss Yu is famous in Liquor Country for his harsh words, Mr. Mo, please don't mind." Mo Yan said, "It's okay, I'm also a mean person." Li Yidou said: "I forgot to tell you, Mr. Mo, last month I was transferred to the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee to do publicity reports." Mo Yan asked, "What about your doctoral dissertation? Finished?" Li Yidou said: "Let's talk about it later, I am more suitable for writing work, news reports and literary creation are closer." Mo Yan said, "Alright."

Yu Yichi said, "Little Ma, quickly put hot water on Mo Yan, let him wash off the sour smell all over his body." The girl with glasses responded and went to the bathroom.Immediately there was the sound of rushing water in the bathroom. Yu Yichi opened the wine cabinet, showing dozens of bottles of wine, and asked Mo Yan, "What are you drinking?" Mo Yan said: "Forget it, it's midnight, don't drink." Yu Yichi said, "How can you forget it? When you come to the country of wine, your first task is to drink." Mo Yan said, "I want to have a cup of tea."

Yu Yichi said: "There is no tea in the country of wine, and wine is used instead of tea." Li Yidou said: "Mr. Mo, just go to the countryside and do as the Romans do!" Mo Yan said, "Alright!" Yu Yichi said, "Come here and choose one." Mo Yan walked over, looking at those beautifully decorated bottles, a little dazzled. Yu Yichi said, "I heard you are a first-class alcoholic?" Mo Yan said: "Actually, I have a limited capacity for drinking, and I know very little about alcohol." Yu Yichi said, "What are you being modest about? I have read all the letters you wrote to Li Yidou."

Mo Yan glanced at Li Yidou with some dissatisfaction.Li Yidou hurriedly said: "Mr. Yu is always our best buddy, absolutely fine." Yu Yichi took out a bottle of "Green Ant Overlapping" and said, "Just get out of the car, let's drink something mild!" Li Yidou said: "'Green Ant Overlapping' is good. It was designed and blended by my father-in-law. It uses pure mung bean distilled wine as the base and adds more than a dozen kinds of aromatic and precious medicinal materials. Drinking this wine is like listening to a classical lady playing konghou , the artistic conception is far away, and it makes people think about the ancient feelings."

"Okay," Yu Yichi said, "stop selling your dog skin plaster." Li Yidou said: "The reason why I was transferred to the Propaganda Department is also because of the publicity needs of the Monkey Wine Festival. After all, I have a doctorate in alcoholology." Yu Yichi mocked, "Ex-doctor." He took out three crystal glasses from the wine cabinet and poured "Green Ant Overlap" into them.The wine was uncomfortably green in the glass. Before Mo Yan came to the country of wine, he read some monographs on wine and learned some rules of wine tasting.He took the glass, first touched his nose to the glass and sniffed, then waved his hand to fan the alcohol stain on his nose, and then moved the glass to his nose, calling deeply, then held his breath and closed his eyes , pretending to be thinking deeply.After a long time, he opened his eyes and said, "It's really good, antique, elegant and solemn, it's really good."

Yu Yichi said: "You boy, you really have two skills." Li Yidou said: "Teacher Mo is a natural talent for drinking." Mo Yan smiled smugly. At this time, the girl with glasses came out and said, "General Manager, the water is ready." Yu Yichi touched the cup in Mo Yan's hand with the cup in his hand, and said: "It's done, take a bath, rest for a while after washing, and you can sleep for two hours. Breakfast at seven o'clock, I will let them call you." He drank the wine in his glass, poked Li Yidou's knee, and said, "Doctor, let's go."

Mo Yan said, "You guys should also sleep here for a while, squeeze together." Yu Yichi rolled his eyes and said, "This store doesn't allow men to sleep in the same room." Li Yidou still wanted to talk, but Yu Yichi pushed him and said, "Let me go!" At this time, I threw away Mo Yan's carapace, yawned, spit, and took off my shoes and socks.There was a soft knock on the door.I hastily lifted up my half-taken trousers, straightened my clothes, and went to open the door.The girl with glasses, Pony, came in as soon as she turned around. She was all smiles, the sleepy-eyed energy gone.Mo Yan was on a whim, and asked solemnly, "Is there something wrong?"

Xiao Ma said: "The general manager asked me to pour some 'Green Ant Overlap' into the tub." Mo Yan said, "Pour wine into the bathtub?" Xiao Ma said: "This is the invention of our general manager. He said that taking a bath with wine is good for health. Wine can disinfect and sterilize, relax muscles and activate blood circulation." Mo Yan said, "As expected of the country of wine." Xiao Ma picked up the uncorked bottle of "Green Ant Overlapping" and went to the bathroom. Mo Yan followed her in.There is still some steam in the bathroom, which is fluttering and curling, which is very emotional.Xiao Ma poured half of the bottle of wine into the bathtub, and a strong smell of wine evaporated, which was very exciting.

Xiao Ma said: "Okay, Teacher Mo, wash it quickly!" She walked out with a smile, and Mo Yan vaguely felt that Xiaoma's smile was full of affection and emotion, and he almost wanted to put his arms around her and kiss her flushed face.But he gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to let the pony out. Mo Yan walked out of the bathroom, stood in a daze for a while, and then began to undress.The room was as warm as spring.He took off his clothes, stroked his protruding waist and abdomen, and looked at himself in front of the full-length mirror, full of inferiority complex.He was glad that he didn't make a mistake just now.

He jumped into the tub, enduring the stimulation of the hot water and wine, and slowly lowered his body into the water, with only his head exposed, and rested on the rounded edge of the tub as a pillow.The wine-spiked bath water was a soft green.It seems that there are countless thin needles poking the skin lightly. There is a slight pain, but it is very comfortable.He cursed appreciatively: "This dwarf, really enjoys it!" A few minutes later.The pain disappeared, the blood in his whole body circulated at an unprecedented speed, and he felt that the relationship in his whole body was straightened out.After staying for a few more minutes, sweat broke out on my head.His body experienced the pleasure of profuse sweating.He thought: I haven't sweated for many years, and my pores are clogged... Ding Gou'er should be soaked in a bathtub filled with "green ants" and then let a woman come in. This is a common detail in thriller novels... After taking a shower, Mo Yan put on a bathrobe that smelled of vanilla, and sat lazily on the sofa.He felt a little thirsty, so he found a bottle of white wine from the wine cabinet, and just about to uncork it, the pony came in again.This time she didn't even knock on the door.Mo Yan was a little nervous, and hurriedly tied up the belt of his bathrobe and hid his legs.In fact, it may not be accurate to say that he is nervous, that feeling seems to be happiness. Xiao Ma helped him open the wine bottle, poured wine into the glass for him, and said, "Mr. Mo, General Manager Yu asked me to give you a massage." Beads of sweat dripped from Mo Yan's face.He stammered: "It's almost dawn, forget it!" Xiao Ma said: "This is an order from our General Manager Yu, so don't refuse." Mo Yan lay down on the bed and let Xiao Ma massage him.He avoided making a mistake by concentrating on a pair of cold handcuffs. During breakfast, Yu Yichi smiled at him, which made him very embarrassed.He wanted to say something, but felt that it was unnecessary, anyway, everything was in silence. Li Yidou came running out of breath.Mo Yan saw that his eye circles were blue and his face was covered with ashes, so he asked with concern: "Did you go back to sleep for a while?" Li Yidou said: "I was in a hurry to get a manuscript for the provincial newspaper, so I hurried back and rushed it out." Mo Yan poured him a glass of wine and handed it to him. He drank the wine and said, "Mr. Mo, Secretary Hu said, let you visit the city first in the morning, and he will host a banquet for you in the afternoon." Mo Yan said, "Secretary Hu is so busy, why not?" Li Yidou said: "Then how can it be done? You are a real honored guest, and we in Liquor Country need to rely on your big pen to make a good name for yourself!" Mo Yan said, "What kind of a big pen am I?" Yu Yichi said, "Brother Mo Yan, let's eat!" Li Yidou said, "Teacher Mo, eat." Mo Yan pulled the chair forward and leaned his elbows on the dining table covered with a snow-white tablecloth. The bright sunlight came in from the tall and bright windows, and the small dining room was full of brilliance.Soft jazz is playing from the ceiling, far away.The trumpet played beautifully.He thought of Pony, the glasses girl who had massaged him. There are six small dishes for breakfast, green and bright red, all of them are lovely.There are also milk, fried eggs, toast, jam, steamed buns, millet porridge, salted duck eggs, stinky tofu, sesame biscuits, small flower rolls... there are countless samples.A combination of Chinese and Western. Mo Yan said, "One steamed bun and one bowl of porridge are enough." Yu Yichi said: "Eat, don't be too polite, there is plenty to eat in the wine country." Li Yidou said, "What kind of wine does Teacher Mo drink?" Mo Yan said: "I have an empty stomach in the morning, so I don't drink anymore." Yu Yichi said, "Have a drink, drink a drink, this is the rule." Li Yidou said: "Teacher Mo has a bad stomach, drink a cup of ginger bar to warm the stomach!" Yu Yidou shouted: "Xiao Yang, come and pour the wine." A waitress came in response, looking even more handsome than a pony.Mo Yan stared blankly.Yu Yichi poked him and said, "Brother Mo, how is the girl from my Yichi Hotel?" Mo Yan said, "They are all from Guanghan Palace." Li Yidou said: "The country of wine not only produces fine wine, but also beautiful women. The mothers of Xi Shi and Wang Zhaojun are both from the country of wine." Both Yu Yichi and Mo Yan laughed. Li Yidou said seriously: "Don't laugh, don't laugh, the students have a solid foundation for what they say." Yu Yichi said: "Stop talking nonsense, if you talk about making things up, Mo Yan is your patriarch!" Li Yidou also said with a smile, "Students play tricks." Just finished breakfast while joking.Xiao Yang came over and handed Mo Yan a hot towel sprayed with perfume.Mo Yan took the towel and wiped his hands and face. He felt refreshed like never before in his life. When he touched his cheeks, he felt smooth and tender.I feel very comfortable. Li Yidou said: "Boss Yu, I'll see you at noon!" Yu Yichi said: "Do you still need to order me? Brother Mo came all the way, how dare the restaurant be negligent!" Li Yidou said: "Mr. Mo, I ordered a car to follow. If you want to go, you can go. If you don't want to go, you can take a car." Mo Yan said, "Let the driver do the work, let's walk slowly!" Li Yidou said: "That's fine."
