author:The Man in the Iron Mask interprets historical figures

Mr. Zhao Yanhu is a well-known liquor expert and master of the liquor industry in China.

From ancient times to the present, among the countless small towns in the mainland, "Xinghua Village" is famous. 15 kilometers northeast of Fenyang City, Shanxi Province, an ordinary small place, there are no pavilions and pavilions, colorful, no towering mountains, thousands of years of ice and snow, it is widely known, not only from the well-known poetry, but also from the amazing discovery of archaeology. The history of wine and where it came from is still an unsolvable mystery, but the excavation of the liquor container at the Xinghua Village site has finally unveiled the mystery of Chinese liquor history, announcing to the world that China has invented artificial grain wine as early as 6,000 years ago in the middle of Yangshao culture. Shanxi's special environment is that the food is more abundant, natural disasters are less, and there are fewer wars, so the living conditions are better, there is a certain amount of surplus grain to make wine, in the past, making wine was not done casually, the emperor was in charge, because the food was not enough to eat, and the reason why Shanxi can come out with a vinegar and a wine, are brewed with grain, and the environment allows it to engage in these things, so it is inherited very far, Du Mu can know that there is a wine produced in Xinghua Village. By asking where the restaurant is, the shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village, where the emergence of artificial grain wine 6,000 years ago marked the birth of wine culture in the true sense of China and even the world. Fortunately, the natural civilization of mankind has been inherited in Fenjiu in Xinghua Village, and Zhao Yanhu, who has devoted his life to the cause of wine culture, is now past the age of sixtieth, recalling the experience of his youth, and still has a lot of thoughts. My hometown is filial piety, from filial piety to the demobilization of the army, after the transfer of Xinghua Village, our requirement is to come to the wine class as a wine worker, at that time just came back from the army, young, it doesn't matter, so I came. In 1973, there were more than 50 comrades-in-arms who came to Fen Distillery together, and only 7 people stayed in the end. The work intensity in the workshop is very high, and the brewers need to carry the sorghum weighing one or two hundred catties onto the truck, and then move it down to unload and transport it to the designated place, so the work in the workshop is heavy physical work, and many people fail to stick to it. I told the old master, I said you look at me, if I keep sweating at work, don't do too much, don't criticize me, I have contributed, if we don't sweat at this time, you can criticize me, I am lazy. In the past, the old master, he was very simple, you just did it with him, he didn't tell you much, he said you were good if he didn't do his best, and he said you were bad if he didn't do anything. At that time, it took at least ten years for the winery to train a master, and Zhao Yanhu silently followed the master's oral teaching, and with his intentions and efforts, he started from the grassroots level of the workshop bit by bit, and was familiar with the production process of wine. Zhao Yanhu was favored by the leaders and transferred from the brewing workshop to a management position. The workers in the workshop are scattered, and we have to stop training every summer, and we use this time to train all the young workers for a month. Walking, and then shooting, competitions, every day like this, his habits are reversed, and when he goes to work again, he gets used to obedience, he is not the kind of loose person. Zhao Yanhu's life experience in the army found the soil for germination here, he promoted semi-military training in the Fen Distillery, found it very effective, outstanding management ability, outstanding organizational ability, just a few years later, Zhao Yanhu was sent to run the Fen Distillery's independent accounting subsidiary, Shanxi Xinghuacun Fen Distillery Enterprise Company. In the autumn of 1984, by chance, Zhao Yanhu got acquainted with an old winery that was on the verge of bankruptcy, which gave Zhao Yanhu a place to use. The dilapidated factory building was full of wine vats, and cobwebs were all accumulated on the wine lid, and Zhao Yanhu and his colleagues tasted almost all the wine. In the end, he bought all the stored wine on the spot, which solved the gap in the local finances. After I saw it at the time, I thought that my next step was to make a wine, that is, I wanted to treat the taste of the bran koji, and then take Fenjiu to hook it in, adjust the fragrance, the price is not too high, you can occupy the market outside the Fenyang market, so I mixed it after I mixed it, just to make a better taste of wine, that is, we sold very well in the north later. Once the northern roast came out, it has been well received by consumers, especially in the north, it has entered the homes of ordinary people, no one knows, no one knows, and sells well in the market. Zuo Xiaozhi said: "The wine sells well, there are many benefits, the big factory Fen Distillery in the factory, and gives special policies, the enterprise company has more things than the big factory, there is a sense of superiority, people look back and think, Secretary Zhao is a good leader here." Fenjiu doesn't need to be approved, and the northern burning still needs to be approved, so back then, probably from the official start of work, to the end of the Spring Festival is 100 days, the net profit earned 1 million, in addition to raising the wages of workers, another person gives 100 yuan, this atmosphere is immediately different. At that time, Zhao Yanhu deeply summed up his own set of sales experience, and the ignorant concept of the transformation of the planned economy to the market economy had been initially formed in his mind. When Shanxi Province was going to be restructured, Fen Distillery applied to set up a Fenjiu Group, Shanxi did not approve it, your Fen Distillery is Fen Distillery, and you have nothing to do with the group, so at that time I wanted to take a path, and I helped build a distillery in each county.

The invention and application of koji made the mainland one of the first countries in the world to apply mold and yeast to liquor production, and the development and progress of the liquor industry, the increase of liquor varieties and the prevalence of drinking culture have greatly increased the demand for koji. At that time, in order to control the technology and ensure the quality, I had to build a koji factory, you used the koji, you bought my koji, and I sold the wine to you when you made the wine, so it formed such a joint venture. On September 9, 1985, in the early autumn, at the boundary of Wenshui County and Fenyang County next to Fenyang County, Daqu Factory began to start, from the construction of the factory to the outflow of wine, Zhao Yanhu and the employees worked day and night to grasp the construction period, only more than 90 days, a factory rose from the ground, which experienced hardships and dedication, only those who have experienced it know. Yang Jianfeng said: "As a middle-level cadre and a small secretary of the Youth League Committee, I can build a building, the first since the reform and opening up of Fenjiu Group. After the process of being a manager and a factory director, in 1991, Zhao Yanhu was sent to the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee to study, this year's learning harvest is quite fruitful, it is also at this time, Fenjiu Group has begun to prepare for the establishment of the first listed company in Shanxi, which is a management enterprise in accordance with the company system, in the entire development history of Fenjiu, is a pioneering innovation measure. Chinese pay attention to the harmony between heaven and man, wine is a gift of beauty, in the traditional culture of the mainland, literati inkers have wine must have poetry, wine can stimulate the poetry of literati inkers, poetry can improve the elegance of drinking. Many of the things that have been passed down from Chinese history are inherited by families, and wine actually has a lot of effects on this occasion, not only to make your emotional things more sticky. One is that I like wine, and the feeling of wine gives me a very comfortable feeling. Zhao Yanhu's son said: "He understands wine, but he is not addicted to alcohol, his relationship with wine, if he understands it, it is called a gentleman's friendship, I understand you, but I don't embarrass you, you don't embarrass me, we still keep a certain distance." Time gave Zhao Yanhu the skills of winemaking, and also gave Zhao Yanhu the confidence to stick to the liquor industry, at this time, he began to think about how to inherit. Inheritance requires a transmission and an acceptance, which is called inheritance, and if there is no acceptance, how can it be called inheritance. Restoring and rebuilding the old Fenjiu workshop is one of the inheritances he is determined to do. This is the three discharges, this grass was empty at the time, so we completely flattened it, just built this U-shaped production line, we called it ingot-shaped. Xinghua Village Fenjiu Old Workshop Site Museum is the only well-preserved liquor site museum that is still producing liquor, its history can be traced back to the Song Dynasty, and it is the oldest liquor site in the old liquor workshop in the country, the most complete, the largest area of relics, the most complete components, and the greatest influence on the development of liquor. In fact, after I left the wineries in the country, the world has also gone to many places, and it is not easy to really stay until now, or to exist intact, the only one, it is not easy, after so many wars and natural disasters, a wine workshop can be preserved intact, so we should cherish it, people in other places are not still imitating in the cover, we have our own, why not use it. It turns out that the production of this place is fermented in this place, and the sake is made outside, and at that time it is carried over with a bucket carrying water, and there is no wine cellar in this one, and there is a large vat in a house, and the wine is poured into it, and at that time there is no alcohol meter, no temperature table, just by feeling, look at this hop, how many degrees is this. The old Fenjiu workshop has well preserved the cultural relics such as the store, the account room, and the shopkeeper's room, so it is known as the "living fossil" of the Chinese liquor workshop. So since Fen Distillery is the oldest distillery in China, and let people know you, where to start, they think it is the best, so when the country takes this thing as an industry, it begins to need to constantly have knowledge, systems, and laws, all of which have to be managed. Until today, as the only intact old liquor shop in the country, the nectar produced can be called the best in the liquor, here, the precious historical culture and vigorous vitality of the pearl wall shine, not only the origin of Fenjiu culture, but also the origin of the spread of culture Fenjiu. In the long history of human culture, wine is not only an objective substance, but also a cultural symbol, which has penetrated into almost all fields such as economy, culture and education, literature and art, and social life. After giving this to myself, I feel that this is a good thing, and it is a good publicity opportunity for our Fen Distillery, even if we don't write about Xinghua Village, write about this process and process, and write about Chinese wine, which is a very good thing. There is a culture in China, that is, the inheritance of culture, the relationship between master and apprentice, the relationship between the shopkeeper and the partner, the relationship between the owner and the shopkeeper, is these relationships, linked into a belt, once the relationship is broken, the industry will be broken, there will be problems, all the things that can be inherited in China are long, that is, this chain is maintained better.
