"Huaxia Liquor News" is the only official newspaper of China's liquor
"The first "One Stop to the End" in the liquor industry ushered in the pinnacle battle: on April 20, the finals of the Qinghualang Cup Million Prize Wine Tasting Competition will be held in Langjiu Manor, and 600 wine tasters are ready to compete for the final million cash prize in the cave aged fragrance of the fifth generation of Qinghualang.
Among the finalists, Feng Yuxue, a player from Zhengzhou, Henan Province, is a professor and scholar of the College of Art and Design of a university, with profound attainments in the study of traditional Chinese culture, and in life, he is a senior "Lang fan", who has participated in various activities held by Langjiu many times and enjoyed the happy life of "art and wine".
Now, with many years of experience in tasting Langjiu, Feng Yuxue has passed five levels and cut six generals, all the way to the finals, on the eve of the finals, Feng Yuxue chatted about the fate of Langjiu for many years, and taught her own "tasting cheats" to many Lang fans.
The fate of college professors and Langjiu:
It starts with "mellow but not headed", and is loyal to a high-quality lifestyle
Henan is the birthplace of Chinese liquor culture, Yidi and Dukang liquor making began in Henan, Yangshao culture and Yindu culture are also related to liquor making, therefore, Henan has a strong drinking atmosphere, and it has always been an important pole in the development strategy of Langjiu. And the fate of Feng Yuxue and Langjiu also began with the wine culture of Henan.
As a Heilongjiang native who came to Henan to study and stayed in school to teach after graduation, when she first came to Henan, Feng Yuxue didn't know how to drink, but sometimes she had to drink in front of the socials, and she got drunk once. Until 2012, others brought Lang wine, but Feng Yuxue didn't get drunk after drinking it:
"Not only did I not get upset, I didn't get dizzy, I didn't get back, but I was still comfortable after drinking, and I came to the conclusion that this is good wine—to drink good wine. Since then, my amount of alcohol has been exercised, from the beginning of drinking one or two to get drunk, to now I can drink more than three taels, now others invite me to dinner, I will take Qinghualang, everyone sees that my wine is better, and will choose to open my wine, everyone is more comfortable and relieved to drink. ”
Since then, the fate of Feng Yuxue and Langjiu has continued and heated up. As a golf enthusiast, Feng Yuxue joined the Qinghualang golf team and represented Zhengzhou to enjoy her body and mind and cultivate her sentiments in a golf tournament that combines fine wine and golf. Qinghualang has also gradually become part of Feng Yuxue's high-quality lifestyle from the fine wine on the wine table.
"Not only this wine tasting competition, but also all the activities held by Qinghualang in Zhengzhou, as long as I have time, I will participate in it, and I will definitely not be left behind in an event of this scale like this wine tasting competition. Feng Yuxue said with a smile.
"The fragrance of the five generations of Qinghualang is more mellow"!
The finalists taught "tasting cheats" and talked about Langjiu culture
Now, with years of experience in Langjiu tasting, Feng Yuxue has successfully entered the finals. Talking about her "secret" to stand out in the previous rounds of competitions, Feng Yuxue also shared some experiences and experiences in tasting Qinghualang, for example, in the process of blind selection of the fifth generation of Qinghualang, Feng Yuxue used the "elimination method":
"Before the fifth generation of Qinghualang came out, I drank the fourth generation of Qinghualang for many years, so I could drink the familiar taste of the fourth generation at once, and when I tasted another glass of wine, I could feel its mellowness, the aroma was stronger, and it was not the same as the fourth generation, I guess this is the fifth generation of Qinghualang, so I chose it, and the result was right. ”
Talking about the difference between Qinghualang and other high-end soy sauce wines, Feng Yuxue said that there are people who drink Moutai and Qinghualang in the circle of friends around them, and there is no difference in the quality of these two kinds of wines, but from her own personal preferences, Feng Yuxue prefers Qinghualang with a mellow aftertaste, soft and non-irritating. Feng Yuxue believes that there is an "elegant culture" in Qinghualang, which is like-minded with herself:
"Qinghualang is suitable for tasting slowly, in the process of drinking Qinghualang with my friends, it is never for the sake of fighting the amount of wine, but for the sake of drinking, drinking happily, and drinking the taste. I think that's where its taste and culture lie. ”
This is also in line with Feng Yuxue's character and cultivation cultivated in the traditional cultural environment for a long time as a cultural scholar - a more "upright and peaceful" attitude and lifestyle. As for the finals of this competition, Feng Yuxue also went all out while maintaining a "Buddhist" attitude. Feng Yuxue believes that she has a great influence and a wide range of radiation throughout the country, and the process is also very standardized and professional, which makes her full of experience in the process of participating in the competition:
"In fact, it doesn't matter whether you win the grand prize or not, the important thing is the process of experience, I feel mysterious, expectant and happy in the exciting competition, I am usually very busy, life and work are also two points and one line, but this kind of competition may only participate once in a few years, so I cherish this opportunity very much, and I don't necessarily have to win the prize to be happy. Someone else won the grand prize, and I blessed him the same. ”
