Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 573. Beer Carnival in the Rain (573)

When Dong Qiangqiang walked out of the Munich train station, the weather was not good, and there was a drizzle, and there were faint thunder sounds from time to time in the distant sky, which seemed to indicate that there was still more rain waiting for people.

But the weather has never been a reason to stop Germans from drinking beer, and there are no fewer tourists on the streets.Dong Qiangqiang didn't even ask for directions, but just followed the directions of tourists (dinners) and guessed the approximate location of the Oktoberfest Carnival.In less than 10 minutes, he was already standing at the entrance of the square where the Oktoberfest is located.

There are two rows of long tables on the left and right of the entrance, and the tables are orderly filled with large wine glasses filled with beer of various colors.Dong Qiangqiang counted roughly, and estimated that there could be several hundred cups in size. If you look around, the beer cups are very visually impactful.

Behind the table is the fence, and behind the fence is a long line of white tent camps. Through the gap between the white tent camp and the crowds of tourists, Dong Qiangqiang saw entertainment projects such as carousels, and farther away, there are towering tents. The ferris wheel, the winding roller coaster, and the pirate ship swinging in mid-air.

When queuing up to buy tickets, the staff of the Oktoberfest distributed promotional materials of the Oktoberfest to the people in line.Dong Qiangqiang came to Munich this time just to see Dulan. He didn’t need to lead a tour group or drive a car. He didn’t have to be an official, so he started researching the history of the Oktoberfest with great interest.

The earliest full name of the Oktoberfest was the concise "October Festival". Later, the organizers of the event felt that the title was too plain to attract people to consume, so they changed it to "October Carnival" (Carnival is actually the Chinese transliteration of the German "Carnival") ), but there are countless carnivals all over Germany, such as chocolate carnival, ice cream carnival, bread carnival, wine carnival and even classic car carnival.As Bavaria, which has a brewing history of more than 500 years and occupies half of the German beer industry, beer is naturally their best and strongest sign.

Just like the ancient emperors wanted to drink the mineral water from BJ Yuquan Mountain, the Germans also had obsessive-compulsive requirements for the water used in brewing.On April 1516, 4, in order to regulate the water used in brewing, Duke William IV of Bavaria specially promulgated the "Beer Brewing Purity Law", which made strict regulations on the quality of water, hops and barley in the brewing process.Of course, beer cannot be brewed based on these three things, because the most critical yeast in beer brewing was discovered by the French at the end of the nineteenth century, so the "Purity Law" was just a document formulated to regulate the beer market at that time. Just the law.Surprisingly, the "Purity Law" has been continuously revised since its birth, and revision means retention, so until today, the "Purity Law" still exists in the German tax law.And there has always been a "North-South dispute" in German beer. At that time, the brewing raw materials used in various parts of North Germany (such as Hannover) were quite different from those stipulated in the "Purity Law", and the two sides have always had a dispute over who is the authentic German beer. disagreement.After years of baptism, the "October Carnival" in Munich was finally named "Munich Beer Carnival (Carnival)".

It wasn't until Dong Qiangqiang arrived at the entrance that he realized that the so-called "ticket" is actually to buy any beer from the long table at the entrance to increase the wonderful play experience.He gladly picked up a pitcher of dark beer from the table. The 2-liter beer and the heavy beer bottle were heavy in his hands, as if to remind Dong Qiangqiang that it was worth the money.He also bought a purple felt hat with turkey feathers and put it on his head, and then he stepped into the ocean of beer with great interest.

He had just passed a camp of white tents when a sudden commotion erupted behind him on the left.When Dong Qiangqiang heard the sound and turned his head, he saw a group of musical instrument phalanxes in Bavarian national costumes passing through the crowd, only to hear someone suddenly took the lead in singing, and a joyous chorus immediately sounded around.

Although the sky is raining, although the air is damp and humid, although facing a small wind, the Germans who have always given Dong Qiangqiang a strict, stereotyped and conservative impression seem to suddenly become wild in groups. Dong Qiangqiang can't help asking himself, are these all Germans? ?Why does it feel more like a southern European who loves life but is extremely lazy?
Most of the bartenders wearing Bavarian costumes and walking through the crowd are German women. They are usually tall and tall (the bartenders are all over 1 meters according to Dong Qiangqiang’s visual inspection), and what Dong Qiang admires is that these girls can almost raise both hands at the same time. Walk fast with a 7-shot beer without bumping into tourists or spilling your beer outside.Looking at the muscle lines on the opponent's arm, Dong Qiangqiang looked down at his arm again, and suddenly found that he seemed to be the weaker one.

All kinds of beer competitions can be seen everywhere, some choose the king of beer appetite, and some choose the queen of beer.What's more interesting is that there are also competitions that require drinkers to drink in full knight armor, which is really eye-opening.Dong Qiangqiang approached the knight and flicked his armor while he was not prepared. The armor clanged and sounded like it was made of iron.

He wandered through the crowd in a hurry, looking east and west, as if he was visiting a temple fair that only existed during Chinese New Year in China, but this feeling was quite different from going to a temple fair.

He bought a bouquet of flowers and found a quiet place to call Du Lan.Du Lan's side sounded messy, Dong Qiangqiang deliberately asked her what she was doing, Du Lan told Dong Qiangqiang inexplicably that her team members had just boarded the Ferris wheel, and she was waiting for them to get off under the Ferris wheel.

Dong Qiangqiang flipped through the leaflet casually, and found Du Lan's location on the map not long after.

He called Lao Bai again, but unexpectedly learned that Lao Bai was also leading people around the Oktoberfest.Dong Qiangqiang told him that he was already in the Oktoberfest and asked Lao Bai to keep it secret for him. He wanted to surprise Du Lan.

The flyer said that besides more than 500 breweries in Bavaria, there were also beer manufacturers from other places and even other European countries to participate in this Oktoberfest.

The mascot balloons floating outside the tents of different beer manufacturers also have different shapes, some are in the shape of beer, and some are in the shape of a bottle opener, but most of them are super-large colorful balloons with their own beer brand LOGO.

Dong Qiangqiang strolled into the tent camp of Prana Beer. The tent was full of people, and there was no place to set foot. Moreover, he saw the faces of many Chinese.Dong Qiangqiang was in a daze for a moment, thinking that he had walked to a certain open-air square in China.He backed out of the tent camp with a wry smile, and continued walking in the direction of Dulan.
