People in Zhen'an can pickle bacon and brew corn wine. If you want to know how the people live when you visit the people in Zhen'an, first bend down to uncover the big stone slab on the wine jar and measure the depth of the wine inside. Secondly, look up and count the pieces of bacon hanging on the rafters, and you will know. Zhen'an has good water and soil. Water is the source of life. The hardness of water directly affects people's quality of life. Soft water is not good for cooking, and hard water is not easy to digest. Therefore, a person with a delicate appetite will always be uncomfortable when he suddenly arrives in a new place. However, people who go to Zhen'an on business have never had a stomach change. Zhen'an's good water nurtures beautiful Zhen'an women; Zhen'an's good water brews corn wine with endless aftertaste. People in Zhen'an regard making wine as simple as carrying water. There is pure water in the ditches and forks. Just pick two buckets and pour them into the bottom pot. Put a wooden barrel on the bamboo fence, spread a few layers of fermented materials, and put a sky pot on top. The firewood under the bottom pot burns fiercely, and the water changes from liquid to gas. The gas cools and condenses into liquid under the sky pot, and what flows out is wine. People in Zhen'an say proudly: As long as the water in the ditches and forks keeps flowing, there will be endless corn wine in Zhen'an. Zhen'an's bacon is very famous, and Zhen'an's corn wine is very famous. For people in Zhen'an, no feast is complete without meat, and no etiquette is complete without wine. Stores in Zhen'an also sell Xifeng, Maotai, and Wuliangye, but their sales volume is far less than that of corn wine. In Zhen'an, drinking corn wine that has been around for many years is not only a kind of enjoyment, but also a kind of treatment. When Zhen'an people entertain guests, they can be divided into three categories according to the depth of the feelings between the host and the guest: those with general relationships are invited to the big hotel, the dishes are the northern and southern dishes, the wine is the high-end famous wine, the glasses are clinked, and the words are spoken for the occasion; those with close relationships are invited to the small tavern, the dishes are the Zhen'an specialties, the wine is corn wine, the copper wine cups are clinked, and the heart is exchanged; if the guest is a confidant, then the host will put his arm around your shoulders and say: Come on, come on, let's go home. When you get home, the only dish is a cured pork leg, and you don't need chopsticks, you just tear it with your hands and eat it. The wine jar is against the table leg, and a grape is hung on the edge of the jar. You can drink as much as you want. At this time, all the masks of life are thrown into the Pacific Ocean, and only true feelings are left. There is no need to talk about true feelings, everything is in the wine, drink, drink, a thousand cups are not enough when you meet a confidant, and people get drunk even if they don't get drunk. It's rare to get drunk in life. People in Zhen'an, regardless of age, will drink corn wine. Some people like to take a few sips at lunch, and some people like to drink two taels before going to bed at night. If they don't drink these two taels, they can't sleep. If someone says that he can't drink, they don't believe it: since you can eat, you should be able to drink. Drinking is much simpler than eating. Don't bite with your teeth, just pour it into your mouth, and it will go down with a gulp. While explaining, the people of Zhen'an demonstrated by holding up the wine glass and pouring it into their mouths, and it really went down with a gulp. People who set foot on the land of Zhen'an, if they don't have a certain amount of alcohol, it's best not to touch the wine cup. Once they touch the cup, they can't put it down. Since there are two times, there must be three times and four times. People in Zhen'an drink well, and the standard of good is drunkenness. Whoever is drunk, that is drinking well, and whoever slips under the table, that is the best. The more Zhen'an men drink, the redder their faces become, and the more Zhen'an women drink, the whiter their faces become. If you meet someone who drinks and looks silly and pale, be careful, she will drink at least one catty. People in Zhen'an like to make friends with wine. Their life experience is that the more you play mahjong, the more distant you become, but the more you drink soju, the more intimate you become. Wine can bring people closer and strengthen their feelings. As long as you drink wine once at a table, you will become lifelong friends. The amount of alcohol you drink is proportional to your popularity. The better your alcohol consumption, the better your popularity. With good popularity, there is nothing you can't accomplish. You will never be poor if you eat and drink, but you will never be poor if you don't have good popularity. Popularity is an inexhaustible and inexhaustible resource. People in Zhen'an, regardless of gender, can play finger-guessing. Women take time out to play finger-guessing with guests while cooking on the stove. Westerners only know how to clink glasses, but not finger-guessing. People in Zhen'an think that way of drinking is too boring. In Zhen'an, drinking without finger-guessing is like getting married without setting off firecrackers. Some crazy people in the wine industry think they have excellent finger-guessing skills. They claim to drink wine from all over the country and punch both sides of the Yellow River. They want to fight with the men in Zhen'an. The men are silent and signal the women to come over to take a few moves. The woman's face is bright, her eyes are bright, her voice is crisp, her fingers are raised, she is silent before drinking but laughs after drinking, she can tell Arabic numerals clearly, and she can handle you in a few seconds. Zhen'an people often see their IQ in the wine shop. They can measure human feelings and grasp worldly affairs by stretching and bending a few fingers. Zhen'an people often see their temperament in corn wine. They regard those who smack their lips loudly and have a thick bottom as cunning, and those who drink half and spill the other half as cheating. Zhen'an people like to be straightforward. They hold up the cups, and drink them all to the bottom. If you drop a little, you will be punished with three cups. That's called "straightness". Straight people are so straight that they don't know how to bend. The root of their tongue becomes hard first, and then they laugh or cry. Zhen'an people think this is a natural phenomenon under the influence of alcohol, and there is nothing to be surprised about. People in Zhen'an think that if they dare not drink wine, dare not speak, never cry or laugh, then they have lived in vain. Corn wine inspires the temperament of Zhen'an people. They face the world with their heads up, money is a slave, go out and come back, dare to spend money, then they can make money. Corn wine cultivates the extroverted personality of Zhen'an people. They are free and easy to follow the fashion. Jeans are popular in big cities, and so are jeans in Zhen'an. Suit and leather shoes are popular in big cities, and so are suits and leather shoes in Zhen'an. Even those who carry manure buckets to water the land are in suits and leather shoes, with fluttering ties. People in Zhen'an pay attention to food. Women are good cooks and men are gourmets. The most eye-catching place in Zhen'an houses is not the TV, but the wine utensils. On the earthen lacquer dining table with four edges and lines, a copper wine pot and a set of copper wine cups are shining and particularly eye-catching. The people of Zhen'an are hospitable. When guests come to their homes, women tie their aprons very skillfully, and with a dance move, they take a piece of bacon off the wall. In a moment, they can make seven plates and eight bowls like magic. Warming wine is a man's specialty. If the temperature of the wine is low, it is easy to hurt the stomach, and if the temperature of the wine is high, it is easy to get drunk. The copper wine pot is placed on the charcoal fire, and its temperature is just right for men. If you are lucky enough to sit on a four-sided earthen lacquer dining table, holding holly wood chopsticks in one hand and a copper wine pot in the other, eating large pieces of bacon and drinking corn wine in big gulps, you will suddenly understand how ridiculous those people who breed ideas all day long are, and how beautiful it is to drink happily and eat honestly. Eating and drinking are trivial, eating and drinking are great, and only ideas based on eating and drinking are truly useful and good ideas, and those theories that have nothing to do with eating and drinking are actually useless no matter how advanced and profound we boast them to be. One of the greatest achievements of Deng Xiaoping Theory is that it has truly solved the problem of food and drink for a billion people. After getting drunk on corn wine in Zhen'an for a few times, I suddenly realized that being warmly dressed, well-fed, and drunk is not only the real happiness of life, but also a very difficult thing for human beings!
