Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 247 Eighth Grade

Gujing Township is also in the Hongshui River Basin. In the Hongshui River Basin, there is a township as a township, and a village as a village. Every village has workshops, and every village produces fine wine.

Some people say that it has something to do with water, saying that the water quality of the streams along the Hongshui River is the best water source for winemaking.

Some people say that it has something to do with the soil, saying that the soil along the Hongshui River has the best bacteria for wine making.

Some people also say that it has something to do with the climate, saying that the cellars of wineries along the Hongshui River are especially suitable for the growth and reproduction of various strains needed for winemaking.

In the past few years, some large wineries in the north have advertised on CCTV, which has brought great repercussions. In order to increase sales, they purchased liquor from the south and transported it to the north for blending. Jiachuan is one of their raw material supply places. The major wineries are currently doing business. All good.

Hongshuihe Laobaigan is baijiu, and baijiu is not very popular in Jiachuan unless it is soaked in various things.

But Uncle Wu is a barefoot doctor, and Zhou Zhi felt a little unacceptable when he soaked those things. In addition to various Chinese medicinal materials, the rest were either amphibians or reptiles, and bones of cats and primates, or ground-dwelling animals. Mammalian scales.

But there is no fruit wine that Zhou Zhi and his friends like.

However, Uncle Wu and Mr. Deng seemed to cherish those wines very much. They drank and chatted happily at the host and guest positions of the main table.

Zhou Zhi was not used to pure baijiu, and suddenly thought of a drinking method that would become popular in Jiachuan in a few years.

Get half a bowl of rice, pour white wine into the bowl and soak the rice.

After soaking white wine with white rice, the taste will become soft, except for the legendary methanol removal effect.It is also because the macromolecular organic substances dissolved in the rice, such as sugar, etc., change the taste of the liquor; and the moisture in the rice will also reduce the alcohol content a little, but the taste will not change greatly.

Therefore, under the same alcohol content, baijiu soaked in rice will taste better than ordinary baijiu.

After soaking the white wine, put it into the flagon and warm it up. Su Datou is the master of the junior table, Zhou Zhi is the host and guest. The two sang together and used this novel way of drinking, pouring Wei Fei and the half-grown children of the neighbors, and knocking on the tiger. Stick chicken, drinking more lively than the main table.

Today's feast is a little lower than "pig-killing dishes". There is no big scene of steaming three times and nine buckles, but there are more bowls of roasted white meat, sanded meat, and crispy meatballs with silk buckles.

The remaining twice-cooked pork, liver tip, shredded pork with celery, pork blood soup with vermicelli sausage, stewed keel with radish, and a table of two carp with watercress.

In addition, the first cold dish is mixed with dried ear root, mixed with vegetables, and mixed with pig ears; the second cold dish is mixed with bath pickles and coriander with shredded radish, which is quite rich.

As a girl, the third sister couldn't be at the main table, but Liu Dachuan was dragged there as a second guest, which made her very worried.

In order to solve her worries, Zhou Zhi took the initiative to pull her up, and together they went over there to toast the elders at the main table and Teacher Deng.

Liu Dachuan's performance was "average", neither high nor low, and he was honest when he drank alcohol. The amount was acceptable, but he was really nervous. As a result, he got drunk halfway through the table and fell asleep on the table.

The fifth uncle held the cup and expressed his satisfaction: "Dare to get drunk, and fall asleep when drunk, eight points."

"Then what is the top grade?" At the end of the banquet, Zhou Zhi also moved over to add softer warm wine to the elders.

"If there is no full score, the ninth grade is the highest." Fifth uncle said with a smile: "That means you will not get drunk no matter how much you drink."

Every time I come to Kujing Township, it is time to search. In winter, Zhou Zhi’s first choice is big radish and cabbage head.

The fifth aunt laughed as she threw pork legs into the carriage: "Elbows are easy to feed, such as zheergen, big radish, and cabbage moss."

"Auntie, don't be like this. I really didn't drive here to move." Zhou Zhi joked while being modest: "The cargo capacity is only three tons."

The reason why I drove here this time is that there is another important gift to be transported back - grapefruit.

If you are going to meet so many people in the capital of Shu, the real dragon pomelo, a specialty of Jiachuan, which is long-lasting and tastes sweet, is the best gift.

"Anyway, it's okay to give money." Su Datou replied with witty words.

In the end, one of them was hit by the fifth aunt: "Don't make trouble! Listen to my arrangement!"

So apart from twenty or so boxes of grapefruit, the rest are private goods arranged by my fifth aunt - big radishes, cabbage moss, fat pork legs, as well as eggs, duck eggs, sweet potato starch, vermicelli, rock honey, caramel, new rice, new beans ...

Zhou Zhi finally gave up resisting, two fists were no match for four hands, and he couldn't stop the whole family by himself.

In the end, I simply found a job for myself, and made some out of the grapefruit boxes, filled them with straw, and put the collected porcelain, Ming ware, and miscellaneous cultural objects into it.

Finally, the cardboard boxes in the car were spread out, and a quilt was added, so that Liu Dachuan, who had been drowsy and sleepy, lay on it and fell asleep.

"You guys sit in the front compartment, I'll watch him." The third sister sighed: "Dad! Why did you let Da Chuan drink like this?!"

The fifth uncle spread his hands: "I didn't persuade him! Besides, we are opposite each other. I drink as much as he drinks."

"You!" The third sister was about to burst into tears: "Can he compare with you? You are just a wine grape!"

Liquor grapes are wine containers made of bamboo. Most of the time, they have nothing to do, and the rest are either soaked in wine or on the way to the wine.

To be honest, the third sister who likes literature uses metaphors quite wonderfully.

But now it’s not time to boast but to persuade a fight. Zhou Zhi had just settled the bill with Brother Zifeng, and hurried over and said, “It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s not bad to sleep comfortably like this. Third sister, you should cover your head with Brother Dachuan to avoid Shoufeng, Fifth Uncle, Fifth Aunt, let's go!"

"Brother Zifeng, I didn't see my sister-in-law this time, so I won't do it next time. When I bring it into the city, I will be happy to let grandma see it."

"That's for sure." The second brother said with a smile: "Wait until you get past this!"

The pickup started up again and returned with a full load. This time it was Wang Laoyao who was driving because he hadn't been drinking.

Only then did Zhou Zhi seize the opportunity to chat with Deng Lixian: "Mr. Deng, this year the power company will recruit graduates from the hydropower school, right?"

"Every year." Deng Lixian nodded: "Manzhou Hydropower School and Shudu Hydropower School both have places."

"Then if it's a dual-career child, it's the priority, right?"

"That's for sure. I heard that Zhubantan, Hutou Township, and Qianyudong will all need people this year."

Zhou Zhi felt a little nervous, Zhubantan Hydropower Station is the largest hydropower station in Jiachuan, but it is in Fubao, Dacao River, the mother river of Ye Xin and Mu Ruyun.

Zhou Zhi has never been to Hutou Township, but he also knows that Hutou Power Station is one of the few industrial facilities in Fengming District, where his father was party secretary. power grid.

The last Qianyu Cave is on the Xishui River, farther than Hutou Township.

Recalling the time when my mother went to Fengming Township to visit her father, and vomited to death on the Zigzag Beach Bridge due to motion sickness, Zhou Zhi asked, "Isn't it too hard to go to Xiatou Power Station?"

"Elbow, why are you interested in this?" Deng Li smiled first. He didn't know Zhou Zhi very well before, but now he was introduced by the third sister and the fifth uncle to connect him with the little celebrity in Jiachuan: "Even if If you want to contribute to Jiachuan water conservancy, you have to wait until after you graduate with a bachelor’s or master’s degree, right?”
