Chapter 27: Monkey Wine Stored for 20 Years

If you don’t do in-depth research, you will never know the tricks. Although the soil here is looser than other places, it has better air permeability and is even more fertile. However, according to Professor Hu’s many years of practical experience, this place is not only It is a matter of seeds, but most importantly, a matter of soil.It's not that Professor Hu has never seen high-quality soil, but he has never seen soil that can almost change the genes of plants.Now Professor Hu can almost conclude that it is this kind of soil that caused this crop to appear, although Professor Hu has not brought the soil back to the laboratory for testing.

At noon, Master Zhang naturally prepared a sumptuous lunch to entertain Professor Hu. In Zhang Ye's words, whatever is good for Professor Hu is worth it.Therefore, I don't know that the small gourd that Master Zhang hid there is said to be the monkey wine that Professor Hu took out.

People are deader than people, and goods are more expensive than goods. Master Zhang’s storage of wine is wrapped in many snakeskin bags. It was dug out from the ground, and several snakeskin bags were wrapped in a full ten layers. As the layers of snakeskin bags were pulled apart, the scent of wine began to permeate.It is mellow and thick, and taking a deep breath makes people almost intoxicated in it.

As the snakeskin bag was pulled away, an earth-colored jar was revealed. Master Zhang pulled off the lid on the jar, and the aroma of wine filled the room.Master Zhang put the lid on the table, then reached into the jar, and carefully took out a sub-waisted gourd from the jar.The gourd is golden yellow, and it looks like it can only hold more than a catty of wine.Looking at the golden-yellow gourd, a few people poured water all over the ground.

The wine-loving Master Zhang swallowed even harder, and his eyes were a little blurred.Touching the wine gourd affectionately, he murmured to himself: "I have stored this gourd wine for 20 years. The 20-year wine can finally be taken out to drink today."

"After more than 20 years, I finally smelled this kind of wine again. It's not easy." After smelling this kind of wine, Professor Hu seemed to have returned to 20 years ago.

At that time, he was still a small researcher of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. He remembered that in order to improve the rice planting situation in a small mountain village, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences sent a group of researchers to conduct field research.Combined with the local water and soil conditions, we found out the root cause, and finally the rice production in this village has been greatly improved. I remember that at the farewell banquet when the researchers from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences returned, they drank Houerjiu. It's just the taste of wine, which doesn't seem to be so mellow.

"Master, there is such a good wine, why didn't you take it out and taste it earlier?" Smelling the aroma of this wine, Zhang Wei seemed to have returned to the heaven, when he exchanged flat peaches for Dukang wine, remember, Dukang wine seems to have this kind of wine taste.When Dukang opened the wine, the fragrance of the wine floated for thousands of miles.Tianting imperial wine master, naturally extraordinary.Although the monkey wine is a unique brew in the world, it is far worse than the wine made by Du Kang.

The reason why monkey wine is called a unique brew in the world is because this kind of wine can only be brewed by monkeys. Countless people have tried to brew the taste of monkey wine, but none of them succeeded.This is the unique place of monkey wine.

"Most people can't afford this wine. If Professor Hu from our Academy of Agricultural Sciences hadn't come today, you wouldn't be able to drink it. I said when I sealed up this gourd wine, except for scientists from our Academy of Agricultural Sciences, who No drinking, so we are all thanks to Professor Hu for being able to drink this monkey wine." Master Zhang said with emotion.

This sentence obviously confused Professor Hu: "I should thank you for being able to drink such a good wine again, what?"

Master Zhang unplugged the gourd, the house was full of fragrance, and he was very intoxicated. Before the wine entered their stomachs, several people were already full of wine.Mr. Zhang carefully poured a small cup for each of them, and then put the lid on.The wine is amber in color, thick as honey, and more fragrant.Several people took a small sip carefully, the mouth was mellow and long aftertaste, there was no trace of cured meat, only a mouthful of mellow fragrance.

Mr. Zhang was intoxicated for a while, carefully put down his glass and said, "I sealed this wine 20 years ago. At that time, the waters in our village didn't know why the rice production couldn't increase. Later, our old village head invited us The agricultural experts in our province came to us to rectify this problem. In the end, it was caused by the acid-base inconsistency of the rice fields due to the water quality problem here. After those scientists worked day and night, our rice production will finally be the next year. The improvement was nearly doubled. At that time, the old village head asked to take out the best wine in the village to give a farewell to these scientists. So, I took out the monkey wine I picked up in the mountains, and finally my monkey wine won. After obtaining the qualification for farewell wine, I only kept this gourd of more than ten catties of monkey wine, and took out all the others to drink. I decided at that time that if I was lucky enough to drink this gourd wine in this life When I meet farmers and scientists, I will take out this wine for them to drink, and if I don’t see them coming to our village, then I am going to bury it underground for the rest of my life.”

The words were sincere, the words were touching, and the wine was more mellow. Zhang Wei and the others were very moved by Zhang Ye's words, and even Sun Xiaolei, who was always fond of shouting, fell silent.No one thought that there was such a touching story hidden behind a gourd of monkey wine.

Farmer scientists in the past were real farmer scientists. They drilled into the fields and worked hard to produce the most realistic and practical technologies.The fellow farmers at that time thanked them and sincerely thanked them, but now, how many of them are like this?

"Brother Zhang, thank you for your wine. This wine is more mellow than when I drank it 20 years ago!" Thanks from the heart, Professor Hu believes that the work they do is what they should do, and never thinks about it. Let who remember, what is required in return.However, after drinking this glass of wine today, he felt that the suffering and tiredness of this half of his life were all worth it!

Zhangwa Village is the village where Professor Hu worked in the past, and there are really too many such villages where Professor Hu worked. He drilled in the fields all year round, and Professor Hu can't remember how many such villages he has visited in his life. In recent years, he is about to retire. The superiors let him return to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in consideration of the old professor's health, sort out the research results of these years, and supervise the work of the new researchers.

Unexpectedly, when he was about to retire, he encountered this vegetable again. When he saw this vegetable for the first time, according to his intuition, he felt the extraordinaryness of this vegetable.In the end, after various methods of testing were fruitless, Professor Hu contacted Lao Sun, who took vegetable identification, and planned to conduct a field inspection.

Now, as long as you bring back some soil for identification, you can know the final answer.

Master Zhang knew that Professor Hu was one of the scientists who came to him 20 years ago. Naturally, the hospitality was better and he responded to every request. Before leaving in the afternoon, Master Zhang brought several large bags of the mountain goods that Master Zhang had packed for Professor Hu.
