New Year's Drinks
○ Wang Xiangfu
When it comes to drinking, I must drink in the New Year, I think those who don't like to drink much should sip a little bit during the New Year, fortunately, there are all kinds of wine to choose from now, and you can also sip a little wine without drinking liquor.
When I was a child, I remember that during the New Year, my father would buy back the glass bottle of sher lotion, which was a wine between wine and a drink—might as well call it a bar, and this wine could even be drunk by women who could not drink.
Stewing the whole pork belly with this wine is very fragrant, two fingers of wide fat and thin pork belly plus two bottles of sherbet, slowly stewed over a low heat, this meat is now uneaten, because the sherry is almost no longer found on the market.
The classical novel "Dream of the Red Chamber" also talks about this kind of wine, but this wine may not have been drunk by many people.
At least in the past hundred years, the prohibition of alcohol has not happened again, but in ancient times there was often a prohibition of private liquor, we all know that making wine requires grain, in the grain harvest or famine, it is really inappropriate to make wine, people do not even have to eat, but you are there with a large amount of grain to make wine, which will definitely cause people's general dissatisfaction, at this time prohibition I think it is right, as for the story, although it is laughable, but think about it, the person who opposes prohibition is really unreasonable.
This story is about a year of prohibition in ancient times, and not only was the wine to be punished, but even the people who had the wine-making utensils in their homes had to be used to ask for their sins. Therefore, some people stood up and said that people in this dynasty are not allowed to commit adultery casually, so should they also take those who have sexually fornicating tools on their bodies to ask for their sins?
Speaking of New Year's drinking, I don't think you have to drink it very seriously, just drink it.
New Year's Day is generally in the six nine, the weather is still very cold, but you can find a very good scenery, it is best to have a small stove, stew the wine on the top, everyone sits around the stove, please note that I used a "stew" word here, so that the wine in the wine pot will always be hot, while drinking while adding, such a drink can be drunk for a long time, while drinking while looking at the snow outside the window, if there is snow, this is the best realm of drinking.
It is said that it is a small stove, in fact, it is best to be a rectangular or square brazier, the four sides of the brazier are very wide basin edges, you can put a wine glass, you can also put some other things, the brazier can also simmer a few potatoes or something else. Last year, when a group of us went to Miaozhai as a guest, we saw such a brazier, and there was a large pot hanging above the brazier, presumably the water in the pot would always be hot all day long.
At new year's time, there are two things that I think can't be forbidden, one is drinking alcohol, and the other is setting off firecrackers. This year we are forbidden to put firecrackers here, although the ear root is quiet, but always feel quiet is not like the New Year, fortunately, there is no prohibition on alcohol, because there is no prohibition of alcohol, on the evening of thirty I drank six or two Shaanxi Xifeng wine in one breath. Because I drank wine, I missed the plum blossoms in the south very much, but I will not write any more articles about plum blossoms, because I have written three or four articles, as if there is nothing to write again, but the thought of plum blossoms does not suddenly want to see it because I go to see it every year.
I am now, living in the contemporary era but want to be an ancient for a few days, and it is better to be a Song person for a few days, like Lin Hejing. It's actually hard to do, but it's always okay to think about it, right?
To be honest, our happiness is actually based on imagination.
