Chapter 79 The Ancient Town of Maotai(2/3)
?”
When he saw it was the division commander, Niu Liangzi raised his body on the stretcher and sat up, and said: "Reporting to the division commander, Niu Liangzi, the platoon leader of the eighth company of the third battalion, is reporting to you that my wound is not in the way. This wine is so expensive. Give it to other people."
Just wipe the seriously injured, I'll just be patient and be fine."
Liu Yimin looked at the injured part, which was on his abdomen. Chen Tong said hurriedly: "Report to the division commander, Comrade Niu Liangzi is very brave. The bullet broke his intestines and he was unconscious when he was lifted off. After the operation, the effect is good, and now
The recovery is also very good.”
When Liu Yimin heard this, he asked Chen Tong: "Who performed the operation?"
Chen Tong said: "I did it to report to the teacher."
Cai Zhong interjected: "The teacher may not know that Comrade Chen Tong once went to Germany to study surgery. He also speaks fluent German."
Liu Yimin thought, this Red Army team is really a collection of talents, and he doesn't know how many surprises are waiting for him. He said to Chen Tong: "Thank you, Comrade Chen Tong. I'll give you a task, and you can list a need for me later."
Medical equipment and medicine list. During the next battle, priority will be given to the materials and equipment needed for field medical care."
Chen Tong said: "Teacher, this is what you said, I am not causing trouble for you. So I am going to join the list now?"
Liu Yimin said: "Go ahead, I'll wait."
Chen Tong immediately went to find paper and pen. Liu Yimin leaned down, helped Niu Liangzi lie down on the stretcher, and said patiently: "Brother Comrade, you are an old Red Army soldier and a hero. You must take the lead in everything.
Since wiping wounds with wine is useful, we will do it no matter how expensive it is. When you are healed, wouldn’t it be enough to go to the front line and kill more enemies and seize more? Why can’t you settle the bill? "
Niu Liangzi had tears rolling out of his eyes and nodded.
Liu Yimin joked: "Hey, our fighting hero is still crying! When you are healed, I will wear a big red flower for you, so don't cry anymore!"
Niu Liangzi was amused and laughed, and the medical soldier next to him quickly came up to help him wipe the wound.
When Liu Yimin and Cai Zhong returned to the temporary residence of the division headquarters, they met Boss Hua from Chengyi Shaofang.
When Boss Hua saw it, he found that the division headquarters of the Red Army was located in a house with the cover removed in the town. There was a broken table found from nowhere, and there were moved stones around the table. The Red Army officers were sitting there.
on the stones around the table.
Boss Hua has seen the world. The Moutai wine that won the award in Panama is the "Shuangde brand" Moutai produced by his Chengyi Shaofang. This is also the source of Moutai, the national liquor that has become famous in later generations. At first sight
Red Army officers would rather
Working and resting in such a harsh environment, and unwilling to disturb the people, Boss Hua knew that his guess was correct. This was a force with great ambitions and strict discipline. Compared with them, Chairman Wang's Guizhou Army was simply a bandit.
I heard that the owner of Chengyi Shaofang came to offer condolences. Cai Zhong and the others didn't know the twists and turns under the Moutai brand, but Liu Yimin knew very well that this was the authentic Moutai. The owner came and hurriedly got up to greet him.
Boss Hua clasped his fists: "Sir, sir, the army has come a long way and it's been hard work. I'm just preparing a small gift. It's not respectful, but I hope you'll accept it." After saying that, with a wave of his hand, the guys came in carrying wine and two big pigs that had been cleaned up.
.
Cai Zhong hurriedly said: "Boss Hua, our Red Army has discipline and cannot take advantage of the masses. You'd better take these things back!"
Boss Hua said: "Is it possible that the sir feels that there are too few things? We are in a hurry. We are not in a hurry. I will prepare another small gift tomorrow. I hope the sir is not surprised!"
Cai Zhong said: "Boss Hua has misunderstood. It's not that there is a shortage of things, but that our Red Army has discipline and cannot accept your gift."
Boss Hua said: "When the army is here, there will be no danger of autumn. The officers have to pay for the wine. Xiaohao has been professionally making wine for a long time. This is the Maotai liquor that Xiaoxiao participated in and won the gold medal at the Panama International Exposition in the United States.
, I specially brought it as a treat
The officers tasted it. It can be regarded as promoting the reputation of Xiaohao's wine. Please don't refuse, sir. If the officers don't accept these thin wines, outsiders will know about it and think that the quality of Xiaohao's wine is not good. If word spreads, it may
Affecting trumpet business."
When Liu Yimin heard this, he knew that Boss Hua was not a simple man. He spoke thoughtfully, was thoughtful, and was full of enthusiasm. He said: "Political Commissar, since Boss Hua is so enthusiastic, our army has a policy of protecting and supporting the development and growth of national industry. I
Look, you can accept the things. In this case, Boss Hua, I won’t drink your wine for nothing. I’ll go get the rice paper and I’ll write an inscription on it for you to help make your Maotai liquor famous. What do you think?”
Boss Hua's eyes almost squinted when he smiled. He said "ok" repeatedly and told the waiter to quickly get pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
Liu Yimin asked Li Chengyi to collect the things and distribute the pork to the troops. He took Boss Hua to sit on a stone and inquired in detail about Chengyi's output and sales.
Boss Hua briefly introduced the situation at Cheng Yihao, and then said: "Sir, how about we talk while drinking."
Liu Yimin asked Li Chengyi to find a few bowls and open a jar of wine. As soon as he opened the jar, the fragrance of Moutai hit his nostrils. Several people praised "good wine" and divided the wine into one bowl for each person. They drank and chatted.
.
After a while, the waiter ran all the way and brought pen and ink and rice paper. Liu Yimin was not polite, spread the paper on the table, and moved the pen with his wrist hanging. The four big cursive characters of "National Liquor Moutai" jumped out on the paper, and Cai Zhong, Feng Dafei, Huang
Su, Liu Jianli, Li Qing, Wu Zheng, Boss Hua and others applauded in unison. Then Liu Yimin wrote on the side note like a flying pen, inscribing a poem of seven unique poems: "The famous mountains and beautiful waters give birth to Maotai, and the rain cage
The mist covers the sauce and the fragrance blooms. Hundreds of distillations are distilled and steamed into fine nectar, and the reputation of the wine is passed down from generation to generation." Then he wrote: On the evening of December 30, 1934, I stayed overnight in Maotai during the Long March. I received the title of Chengyi as a gift from Mr. Hua.
Maotai wine is like nectar and jade liquid when drunk, so I wrote an inscription and a poem as a souvenir. If I can visit the ancient town again one day, I will drink three hundred glasses of wine. Liu Yimin, commander of the Central Guard Division of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, recorded it in Maotai Town, Kweichow.
Only then did Boss Hua learn that the designation of this Red Army unit was the Central Guard Division, and that the division commander was Liu Yimin, the heroic young general who had written inscriptions and poems for him.
Boss Hua picked up the inscription, pondered it carefully, and then read the poem again, shaking his head and reciting: "The famous mountains and beautiful waters are pregnant with Maotai. The rain and mist cover the sauce and the fragrance blooms. Hundreds of distillates are distilled and distilled into fine wine. The reputation of the wine is passed down from generation to generation."
After chanting, he thought about the meaning of "National Liquor Moutai" several times, and asked Liu Yimin excitedly: "General Liu, you mean that my Moutai is the national liquor and can represent China, right?"
Liu Yimin nodded.
Boss Hua asked again: "General Liu's poem said that the reputation of fine wine will be passed down from generation to generation. Does this mean that my Moutai liquor will one day prosper in the future?"
Liu Yimin said: "Of course, it is the national wine. It will be fragrant for generations!"
Boss Hua bowed his head and bowed, which made Liu Yimin panic and Cai Zhong help him together.
Boss Hua said: "Sirs, you don't know that General Liu's inscription confirms the status of our Moutai liquor in the liquor making industry, which is very noble. The famous mountains and beautiful waters in this poem are pregnant with Moutai, which not only refers to the geographical environment of the ancient town of Moutai,
Also, the reason why Moutai liquor is so good is its geographical advantage. The rain and mist cover it with the aroma of soy sauce, which explains the climate characteristics of Maotai Town and the aroma of soy sauce.
This is the name of the fragrance of Maotai liquor, also called Maoxiang. The water we use to make liquor here is Chishui River. This water is slightly sweet in the mouth and has no impurities. It is the best water in the world. At the same time, Maotai Town is among the mountains, and is surrounded by water all day long.
It is shrouded in clouds and fog, with high temperatures lasting up to five months all year round. It is hot and humid for most of the year. This Maotai liquor can only be made here. You can change it anywhere.
The taste is different when made. My ancestors were attracted by the magic here, so they moved here from the south of the Yangtze River to make wine. I am not playing the trumpet, but the trumpet wine is definitely the first-class wine in China. This is made by hundreds of distillations and thousands of distillations.
The word "qiongjiang" refers to the complicated and strict production process of my Moutai liquor. To be honest, everyone who looks at the wine in my wine warehouse must be neatly dressed and clean.
, not to mention other workers and winemakers. My annual output is only 15,000 to 18,000 jins. It’s not that I don’t want to produce more, but that I can’t make more. My wine must be stored for more than four years before I can make it again.
It is blended with wine that has been brewed for twenty, thirty, and forty years before it is put on the market for sale. Therefore, as the saying goes, a hundred distillations and a thousand distillations make fine wine, and the small wine is worthy of it."
Cai Zhong said: "It turns out to be so complicated!"
Huang Su asked: "Do the other two produce more?"
Boss Hua shook his head: "The trumpet among the three has the longest time and the highest output."
Liu Yimin smiled and said: "Boss Hua, with your explanation, I feel that it is a pity that I drank such a good wine!"
Boss Hua waved his hands repeatedly: "No! No! General Liu is our confidant in the wine industry. As the saying goes, a thousand cups are too little for a confidant. How can you say that? I decided to give General Liu 10% of my dry stock with my Chengyi number.
, from now on you will be one of the shareholders of Chengyi Shuangde brand Moutai. General Liu, please do not refuse."
As soon as he said this, Liu Yimin and Cai Zhong looked at each other, feeling incredible.
Liu Jianli thought, the teacher is so amazing. After writing a few words and composing a few poems, he became a shareholder of Moutai. Doesn’t that mean he has become a capitalist? This is not okay and must not be accepted. So,
Without waiting for Liu Yimin to reply, Liu Jianshe said directly: "Boss Hua, thank you for your kindness. Our teacher cannot accept the shares you donated, otherwise he will make a mistake."
Liu Yimin was so angry that he wanted to kick Liu Jianshe in the face. Think about it, if he wins in the future and flaps his butterfly wings, maybe there will be a stock market early. By then, Moutai will definitely be a big bull stock, 10%
How much wealth is there in stocks? This Liu Jianli didn’t say what he should say and said what he shouldn’t say.
When Boss Hua heard what Liu Jianli said, he knew that the Red Army might have strict discipline, and said regretfully: "If General Liu can't accept the shares of the trumpet, then so be it. From now on, the trumpet will guarantee to supply General Liu 200 kilograms every year."
Wine, no matter where General Liu is stationed, Xiao Xiao will ask someone to find a way to deliver it."
At this time, Liu Yimin stopped waiting for others to speak and said quickly: "Thank you, Boss Hua!" Boss Hua happily took the words and left, and the Red Army also started eating.
After dinner, Liu Yimin took Li Chengyi for a walk around Maotai Ancient Town.
The towers were vague in the depths, and I knew that this was after all a holy place for wine making, where merchants gathered, and it was relatively wealthy. I thought that after defeating the Japanese devils and the reactionary Kuomintang regime in the future, we must find ways to vigorously develop the economy and correct the historical detours taken during Chairman Mao's era.
, to make the people rich as soon as possible. High-quality national resources such as Moutai liquor must be vigorously explored and integrated to form a leading brand.
Go to the international market as soon as possible.
As I was thinking about it, I turned to the camping area of the first camp and saw that most of the soldiers were soaking their feet with wine. Some soldiers were soaking their feet in wine while saying, "It's so fun, so fucking fun!"
Wang Dahu held an earthenware basin, found a stone to sit on, took a can of wine, poured it in, and then put his scarred feet in.
Perhaps the frostbite wound had burst, and Wang Dahu was so painful that he burst into tears.
Liu Yimin looked funny and walked over and said, "Wang Dahu, how does it taste? Is it good?"
As soon as he saw the division commander coming, Wang Dahu wanted to stand up and salute, but the other soldiers also stopped talking.
Liu Yimin held Wang Dahu down and asked him to continue soaking.
Wang Dahu asked: "Teacher, what do you mean by feeling happy or not?"
When Liu Yimin heard this, he thought, damn, he let it slip. The day before yesterday, Hu Di asked him what Shuang meant, and today Wang Dahu asked again, so he should pay attention to his wording in the future. He said angrily: "Shuang means very beautiful, very good.
Meaning. Do you know how Chen Guangzhong, the commander of the 63rd Division, died?"
Wang Dahu said: "The one we shot to death?"
Liu Yimin said: "Wrong, he is so stupid!"
