I have never taken the initiative to write articles to people, he is an exception, and the initiative to write about him is not a whim, but because he is a "strange flower" in my mind. In a world like a big dye vat, it is not easy to be a "strange flower", it requires courage, wisdom and ability, and his alternative is more like something in his bones. His name is "Shi Xiaochuan" Shandong Tai'an people, just look at this "Chuan" word is like a rushing and curving river, the two curves on both sides of the word are very vivid, even if life is going around, destined to be related to water, he lives on wine, no wine, no wine, engaged in wine-related work, is my only "wine and meat" friend.
Saying that it is "wine and meat" friends here is not a pejorative meaning, other people always have to find some reasons to drink, such as a drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows; there are also people who raise a glass of pain for feeling sad; there are more people who have to do things as a last resort, and so on, and there are many such things, and the liquor bureau between us, only simple drinking has no other obstacles, and being a simple "wine and meat" friend is also another realm of drinking.
My friend looks far from the image of Shandong Han, he is small, his features are beautiful, and his fair skin looks more like he is nourished by the water and soil of Jiangnan. Combing the shiny inches, clean and neat, talking with a strong Lunan flavor, it is particularly enjoyable to listen. Under the thick eyebrows, there is a pair of small eyes, don't look at the eyes are not big, years of winery career has refined a pair of fire eyes golden eyes, see through the cold and warm of the world, can distinguish between good and evil in people's hearts. After more than ten years of dealing with wine, he was immersed in drinking every day, and he could smell the taste of people from the wine, and naturally he could also taste the characteristics of wine from the body of the person.
It is not easy for people to understand one thing in this life, and it is amazing to be proficient in a line, and this friend can be called "alcohol" - the elite of wine. I know everything about wine, from the history and culture of wine, down to the brewing process and the tasting of various types of wine. The amount of wine is even more unfathomable, not to mention the red, white, or beer, each time the wine is not repeated, it also opened my eyes. Speaking of drinking I have no right to speak, drinking is not within my range, friends who know me know that I am a slow heat type of person, the average person can not get close, some people say that after drinking to spit out the truth, drinking can show a person's true face, true temperament, for me to drink three rounds is only a face like a date color drowsy, it is difficult to spy out my inner debauchery "true face". So for me, confiding the truth has little to do with how much wine to drink, mainly to meet the right person, this friend at my wine table is rare, he never thinks that I am poor in wine, the rules of the wine table do not bother with me, and never persuade the wine, and I can drink happily.
Most of the people who often mix in the liquor store have a strong worldly atmosphere, but he is different, never rigid, not pretentious, talking to me about nature, more true temperament, always talking about his past bitter history, abandoning school at a young age, running for a living, working as an electrician and a driver. When I first arrived in Jinan, I was penniless, starving and clenching my teeth to survive day by day... I was a little moved to hear him, but when I looked at him, there was not a trace of sadness on his face, which made me feel like I was sentimental. His personality is frank and straightforward, righteous and calm and sophisticated, these experiences have finally been transformed into motivation, achieved his current best self, done his own career, his kind of "not to be happy with things, not to be sad with himself" is really a bit like Fan Zhongyun, drink to the rise such as climbing the Yueyang Tower, relaxed, spoiled and forgotten, the wine is in the wind, the joy of the yang... When Mr. Fan was young, because of his family's middle-class road, his life was difficult, and he also endured hunger, and later made political achievements for the officials, and finally got ahead, but his career was difficult, the official field was sinister, his positive attitude towards life and broad-mindedness were indeed admirable, but I don't know if Mr. Fan Lao will also be an "alcohol"?
I think the ancients drank alcohol roughly into two categories, if not wild enough, there will be no li bai, Liu Ling, Ji Kang these people with wine jars, no scruples to drink, they are flowing, drinking poetry, living out the elegance and freedom that others do not have. There are also kinds of people who must be the same as Tao Yuanming, facing the south, or in the mountains, twisting whiskers and chanting, picking chrysanthemums under the hedges, leisurely, in this mood, the flow of qushui only needs a small sip to drink the most comfortable, wine and chrysanthemums are his unwilling to cooperate with the world, the character of self-purification of the physical evidence. My friend, it seems to have both at the same time, can attack, retreat can be defended, can be drunk or slow, although there is no poetry, but there is no lack of feelings. In ancient times, there were many dignitaries who drank alcohol and were literati and inkers, but today the mainstream is us ordinary people.
Outside the liquor bureau, accompanying the wife to work, chatting, shopping, cooking nothing down, accompanying the children to read, play is also rarely absent, under the promotion of the wine cause, life has long been not a starving situation, but a thriving coat light and fat, this person is not only "alcohol", but also enlightened life, do life "human spirit". How dare a middle-aged man raise his glass high if his heart has not experienced wind and rain? His life is full of wine, and what is gushing in his blood is also wine, and his wine is full of fragrance and romanticism, and his character is like this, such as wine.......
