The Road to Slaying God

"welcome!"

"welcome!"

…

When Li Tiexiang raised his glass, there were sparse welcome sounds all around. Some raised their wine glasses, some raised their teacups, some raised their painting brushes, and the clay sculpture guy raised a piece of bamboo... Of course , most people did not even raise their heads, and some even turned their backs to show them.

"Hmph!" Wang Yan snorted hard. Obviously, she was dissatisfied with these cold welcome sounds, but she could do nothing about it. After all, she was just a guest in Yanjing, even though her family was extremely powerful. In this Yanjing city, the influence is also limited.

This was a welcome dance without passion. Although there were many people, the area was so large that people crowded here and there, making it look very empty and deserted.

Groups of people are also doing their own thing, indulging in their own territory.

Zhang Yang, Aze, Liu Biao and the others looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out why.

At this time, Wang Yan and Xuelian had been pulled to a billiards table by a group of boys and girls to play billiards. Zhang Yang and the other two were sitting blankly by the wine cabinet. Although there were several young people around the wine cabinet, they didn't even bother. Talk to Zhang Yang and the others, talking quietly to themselves.

They can't fit into this atmosphere.

Obviously, this is not their world, this is a world that they cannot understand. This is a huge circle, and within the big circle, there are several small circles.

"Zhang Yang, what kind of wine do you like to drink?" Li Tiexiang came over from the billiards area with a wine glass. He couldn't help but be startled when he saw that Zhang Yang actually had a whole room of drinks in his hand. Although he didn't like Zhang Yang, he was still half a master. Naturally, You can't be as transparent as others.

"Liquor." Zhang Yang waved the drink can towards Li Tiexiang in greeting.

"White wine?" Li Tiexiang was stunned again. It seems that young people nowadays are pursuing fashion, either drinking red wine, or drinking foreign wine and wine. Although foreign wine also includes white wine, most of them are mixed with some messy drinks. Once inside, there are very few real and pure liquors.

However, this must be excluded during dinner parties. Chinese people cannot have a dinner party without liquor. The term "not drinking liquor" here means that liquor is rarely consumed in social activities such as dance parties. Even if it is, it is Pretend.

Seeing Li Tiexiang coming over to chat with Zhang Yang about wine, the young people sitting around the bar smiled softly.

"What kind of liquor are you drinking? Not many people drink liquor these days. Even drinking it is just a social occasion, not a real wine tasting. Today I finally found a comrade!" A fair-skinned, tall and thin man wearing a light yellow casual suit The young man in a suit chuckled.

"Extreme!" Zhang Yang thought for a moment and then said.

"extreme?"

A group of young people who were talking to each other were all piqued by Zhang Yang's answer. You must know that most of the people who can gather at this wine cabinet have some research on wine, whether it is from the origin and history of wine. , and even have a certain understanding of brewing, Zhang Yang’s answer made them feel a little baffled.

"Well, extremes. I like to drink two extreme wines. It has nothing to do with the brand. As long as they are produced with original brews, both wines have the value of tasting. Of course, this is from the perspective of us southerners. Many times , regional wine culture affects people's preferences, just like the weather in the north is suitable for drinking high-alcohol wine, while coastal equatorial temperate areas like to drink low-alcohol wine, and the two extreme wines I am talking about refer to the degree, one One is high-alcohol wine, the other is low-alcohol wine... As for red wine, haha, I won’t go into details about these imported products. More often, this is a kind of cultural expansion of some countries, and it does not necessarily mean how good the wine is. ..." Zhang Yang walked to the wine cabinet and picked up a bottle of Wuliangye's 68-degree puree wine.

Zhang Yang picked up another small white porcelain wine glass, opened the wine bottle, and filled it gently. The wine overflowed, and the air was filled with a strong aroma of wine.

Several young people looked at each other and nodded. It can be seen from Zhang Yang's small movements that Zhang Yang is not an amateur. When drinking liquor, you must have a small cup. When pouring wine, you must pour it completely. This is the quintessence of China and a kind of etiquette.

Filling up the wine can show respect for the guests, and can also let the mellow aroma of liquor spread in the air, which can liven up the atmosphere. Using small cups is to take into account the Chinese drinking habits. Chinese people like to drink one cup at a time to show respect. , if you use a large cup, it’s okay.

Of course, in the north, or among nomadic peoples, there are people who drink wine from large bowls. However, there are still not many people who drink high-alcohol wine from large bowls. That is to say, in extremely cold areas, it is not for drinking, but for keeping warm and promoting blood circulation.

"Chi...!" Zhang Yang drank it all in one gulp.

"In fact, I don’t need to talk about high-altitude wine. In the north, I think everyone here is more knowledgeable than me. Besides, this bottle of Maotai is just a representative. There is no 75-degree Shaodao Zi here, and 70-degree Luzhou Yipin Liuxiang Wine, which is defined as original-proof cellared wine, seems to have not been seen here. Luzhou Laojiao has produced a 73-degree base wine, which is very rare on the market. I think you can’t find it here either... ...Actually, what you drink when you drink is an atmosphere, what you drink is a culture, what you drink is a tradition, what you drink is a friendship... The wine itself has little meaning, it is the drinker who gives the wine its soul, just like Now, we are strangers to each other, our circles are different, and our social life level is the same as heaven and earth. I think that drinking with me will definitely be boring..."

Zhang Yang poured himself another glass of wine, drank it up and laughed. Drinking high-quality liquor is what you want in this kind of grandeur and boldness!

Everyone could not help but lower their heads, all with thoughtful expressions. There are prodigals here, there are playboys here, but here are more social elites. In China, a country that attaches great importance to cultivating future generations, senior officials pay more attention to what their offspring will do. Will not become a talent.

"Well, let's talk about low-alcohol wine." Li Tiexiang got himself a small cup, filled it up for Zhang Yang, then filled it up for himself, raised the glass and clinked it with Zhang Yang and drank it all. Now, he liked Zhang Yang a little more.

"Low-alcohol wine is actually a kind of folk wine, which can be regarded as a regional custom, because there is no threshold for the brewing technology of low-alcohol wine. Some farmers in remote mountainous areas like to brew their own low-alcohol wine. Although the wine is not strong, it contains Wine culture is not inferior to high-alcohol wine. You must know that no matter which dynasty, the poor are still the majority... The brewing methods of low-alcohol wine are even more bizarre. Many ordinary people have never heard of them. The legendary monkey wine, rice wine, and glutinous rice Liquor, and float wine...these are examples of low-alcohol wines.”

"Because low-alcohol wine is not easy to preserve, drinking what people call inferior low-alcohol wine is more difficult than drinking high-alcohol wine. Just like now, here are all high-end liquors, with the lowest alcohol content being over 30 degrees. Some folk There is no low-alcohol wine at all, which is definitely a pity for a real drinker... In fact, today's environment is more suitable for drinking low-alcohol wine, such as rice wine and float wine..." Zhang Yang glanced at the wine cabinet. Said immediately.

"Why is it appropriate to drink low-alcohol wine today?" asked a young man with a flat head and black face.

"Do you know why red wine from Western countries can enter the upper class?" Zhang Yang replied without asking.

"Um?"

"Because red wine has a low alcohol content, is not harmful to the body, and has a noble color, it has gradually replaced the high-alcohol liquor market and entered mainstream society. Think about it, who wants to get drunk in a social place where there is an important event?"

"Haha... what you say makes sense, what you say makes sense... listening to you is better than reading ten years of books. I didn't expect that Brother Zhang has such a thorough research on wine. I, Li, raved about drinking all over China, and what Brother Zhang mentioned Several types of low-alcohol wine are unheard of. If you have the chance, you must get drunk with Brother Zhang before you stop..." A tall young man who had been leaning on the wine cabinet suddenly stood up and laughed.

"Haha, if this old man has the opportunity to go to Hunan, I will show my friendship as a landlord and accompany you to get drunk. However, don't worry, those farm wines, although delicious and low in alcohol content, will not make you drunk at all. It is inferior to high-quality wine, but its stamina is even greater than high-quality wine..."

"Okay, I must go, I must go!" The man nodded repeatedly.

"Haha, it's so rare for two drunkards to meet up!"

Suddenly, a strange voice remembered that in the distance, a guy wearing a leather jacket and leather trousers and leather gloves came over, holding a billiard pole on his shoulder.

Suddenly, the small bar area became depressing, and young people including Li Tiexiang looked at this young man who looked like a racing driver with indifferent expressions.

"I heard that you are the world's top marketing master?" The young man looked arrogant and looked at Zhang Yang with a joking expression without even looking at Li Tiexiang and the others.
