#@Da Dong Da Understand One Dish a Day (302) #
I have a friend, who is the director of the Beijing Food Factory No. 2, surnamed Bian, and is not tall. They factory make ShinYuan Zhai sour plum soup. Sour plum soup is a special drink in Beijing, which is a summer refreshing drink, sweet and sour, cool and refreshing, cool and antipyretic, in the past from the lunar calendar mango planted can be sold everywhere in the summer.
Coca-Cola, first entered China in 1927, when it was called "tadpole chewing wax", the name was strange, the taste was also strange, the brown liquid with gas, naturally did not like, and then withdrew from China due to the evacuation of the US Embassy. When we re-entered China, it was 1978, and it was not until the 1980s that the market slowly opened up.
The first time I drank Coke, it was with my eighth sister, riding a bicycle to Dongdan to do things, on the way a person bought a bottle of Coke, almost threw up when drinking the first sip, I felt that it was difficult to drink, like medicinal soup, thinking about how foreigners can drink anything. Later, various colas appeared in China, such as Tianfu Coke, Lechen Cola, Fenhuang Coke, Blue Sword Coke, Shaolin Coke, Nine Star Coke, Yueguan Coke, Silver Heron Coke and so on.
Then for a while, I was addicted to drinking Coke, and every day when I came home from work, I immediately took out a can of Coke from the refrigerator, grunted and poured it down, and I could feel Coke running around in my stomach.
Drinking Coke, I thought of two local Chinese brands, one is Arctic Ocean soda, and the other is the sour plum soup of Xinyuan zhai.
I held two PEN meetings in those years, and the one that impressed me very deeply was in the "Yansong Restaurant" in Dashanzi. I was only twenty years old, and one of my buddies said he knew great painters. And really, we invited us to do a PEN meeting. Who was there at that PEN meeting? There are Mr. Dong Shouping, Mr. Xiao Lao, Mr. Huang Jun, Mr. Xie Deping, and Mr. Qi Liangmu. Qi Liangmu was the son of the old mr. Qi Baishi, and was named Liangmu because of the end of the line. Mr. Dong Shouping's "four-foot ink bamboo" is still kept by me. That meal, at that time, the cattle, there were Arctic Ocean soda, and then eat braised prawns in oil, drink Beijing Yanjing beer, beer is not bottle beer, is a large jar kind, in the past the people hit beer, is with a warm pot to beat, scoop up, put in the sea bowl to drink, especially enjoyable. At that time, a pen meeting could be made with a meal, which is impossible to think about now.
Later, I said to lao Bian, why not give sour plum soup like Coca-Cola? The earliest Coca-Cola was only transferred by a pharmacist, saying that it has the effect of refreshing the mind and alleviating headaches, in fact, it is sweet and bitter water filled with carbon dioxide, drinking choking people. Like Arctic Ocean soda, it is also delicious with gas, and not adding it is like drinking orange water.
If something so good as The sour plum soup of Xinyuan Zhai is also angry and sold directly to the United States, I am afraid that it will be wildly pursued. I think it's possible. I took a sip, a sharp sip, a burp, how foreign.
