Colorful Guizhou-wine capital

The first stop of Guizhou and his party came to Maotai Town, Renhuai County, Zunyi City. Although the latter has a small territory, its popularity cannot be underestimated. After staying for three days, I not only enjoyed the beautiful scenery, but also enjoyed the food and wine, and gained a lot of knowledge.

The legendary Guizhou is far from developed in people's impression, only knowing that it is a relatively closed area with many mountains, far water and rugged roads. This is the origin of the ancient Yelang Kingdom. Because I am isolated from the outside world, I don't know the size of the sky, and I feel very wide. Because of this, its natural beauty has been preserved to a greater extent. Therefore, there is a label of "beautiful mountains and waters, more beautiful people".

Guizhou is famous for its karst caves at home and abroad, which are produced by the world-famous karst landforms. These caves are dozens of kilometers long and very strange. There is Huangguoshu Waterfall, the largest waterfall in Asia, which was famous in the world more than 400 years ago!

Originally planned to travel to the southeast coast, they simply changed their trip to the south at the invitation of friends. Just like my usual style: I intend to travel and follow the trend. Planning is just motivation, there is no limit.

Zunyi, a place with strong colors in the history of new China, is no stranger to the world. There is a town in Zunyi called Maotai, which is famous at home and abroad. Constantly writing and refreshing its miracle is simply wonderful! Now the symbolic meaning of the word "Maotai" has been more widely praised. It not only feeds millions of local people, but also injects a strong impetus into the market economy, which lasts for a long time.

The ancient town of Maotai was famous at Chishui River Ferry from the beginning, which was a stroke of genius and the third ferry (originally, it was written in a large space here. Considering that there are too many sensitive words, it will inevitably affect the speed of online comments, so skip it. If you are interested, you can experience the scene of reprimanding Fang Qiu. Once again, it is famous for "wine". Needless to say-

The first stop to Maotai was the headquarters building of Prince g j Group. I was so excited that I just took pictures. My buddy told me, but obviously I didn't listen. All I remember is that he said it was too late, and his buddies could take me in during the day. It doesn't matter. Most people can come here, and it's not good to go in and make a big secret.

Going out from the headquarters building and entering the ancient town are all two-story and three-story antique buildings with unified style, and there are shops selling wine on both sides of the street. I can't help wondering, with so many wine sellers, I'm afraid there are more shops than customers who come to buy wine. Can they make a living? The elder brother said, "You don't understand this. These liquor stores are not home-made wines, but are all agents of manufacturers. They don't rely on retail, and basically have a few fixed big customers. "But in the blink of an eye, it is conservatively estimated that there are thousands of wine sellers in the town. How many people will buy if the income is stable? ! I was just thinking about it when I turned a corner and arrived at the street of Maotai Town. The car was crossing the Chishui River Bridge, and I saw the river with a width of about 100 meters rippling and flowing. The two sides of the river are still antique buildings, but different from the streets just now, this side is more prosperous, neatly paved from both sides of the road, behind the house is a mountain, and it is built on the mountain. Compact layout, small houses everywhere, and eye-catching wine culture advertisements inlaid on the eaves. In the evening, when the lights are on, colorful advertising gimmicks go from low to high, from far to near, setting off the unique prosperity of the ancient town. The street view of the whole ancient town seems familiar. Where have you seen it? It suddenly occurred to me that "The Ancient City of Phoenix" is similar in style. No wonder it looks so familiar. At the moment, I am in the hinterland of the ancient town of Maotai, but I don't seem to know anything about it. With my knowledge and experience, I shouldn't-first of all, I don't understand where the source of prosperity in this remote mountainous area lies. If it is supported, it will be a flash in the pan, but it is obviously not. The only reliable statement is definitely inseparable from "wine." I don't understand, which means I haven't figured out the weight of this wine yet.

It doesn't matter, I just travel with a knowledge of things, so I must know the meaning of the watch before I leave. Step down—

Usually people's cognitive misunderstanding is that everything except the official "platform" is fake. In fact, Maozhen by Chishui River is the top A product in the industry as long as Moutai is produced. Just a large-scale high-yield of a public company; The other is that many private enterprises have small output. It is known that this kind of bad influence is caused by pure fakes far away from Chishui River and not even produced in Guizhou. Low cost and poor taste have greatly affected the reputation of Maotai Town! In fact, the wine produced in the town is not less than 100 Jin, which means that ordinary people drink two or three hundred and one Jin of Maotai-flavor wine every day-the height is a bit amazing. This kind of general consumption is indeed much higher than all parts of the country. As a manager of the Prince often said: "China people buy a table, I don't know whether to buy wine or brand." When it comes to wine alone, there are no fewer than 300-50 1 kg of wine in the town, and the taste is comparable to that of the dining table. Drink it yourself. There's no need to buy a brand. "

The hotel is located on the north bank of Chishui River, next to the third ferry. Because the antique buildings in the town are nothing more than two or three floors, the styles are similar, and there is nothing to choose from. Unexpectedly, the price of this slightly stronger hotel is comparable to that of a three-star hotel in Xi 'an. Thought it was the unique virtual height here. As we all know, the price cross-flow in the whole province has just begun (we will talk about it later). Fortunately, the room my friend chose for me is near the south window, with a panoramic view of two-thirds of the street view. Chishui River flows quietly in front of the building, without disturbing people on both sides of the sleeping river for generations. At night, the neon on the glass is reflected on the wide water, green and red, enchanting and charming. There is a great contrast between the glory of the ancient town and the darkness of the distant mountains, just like a golden phoenix entrenched in a valley basin, dazzling.

Dinner was chosen opposite the hotel, that is, the pavilion restaurant on the hillside on the south bank of Chishui River. The winding path leads to a secluded place, and I suddenly came here from top to bottom, which is quite a feeling of "Wan Li Yangzhou Road, the curtain cannot be rolled". Located on the balcony, overlooking the other side, the Sandu Memorial Tower is flushed and stands halfway up the mountain. A pot of fresh finless porpoise was brought up, steaming and full of fragrance. Small dishes are still my favorite wild vegetables in the deep mountains, and they have roots that I can't get enough of. The first is a vintage watch wrapped in kraft paper. I can't wait for me to be a heavy drinker. Pour it into the wine separator and the aroma will disperse. What I want to say is that many people who drink white wine, few people can understand what the aroma of wine is, and most wines do not have a refreshing aroma. It's so rare!

You're welcome. Let's raise our glasses first. I only felt the mellow fragrance melt in my mouth instantly, and I stopped instantly for a few seconds, for fear that my happiness would disappear. And no matter whether the small mouth is disintegrated or small, it disappeared in the throat and has not been swallowed. Next, we two brothers talked about history, rivers and lakes and wine tasting. We stayed up late. It's really a bosom friend. Before the opening ceremony, I told him that it was a good idea to calculate the cost of drinks. Er Liang and I, today, we happily drank San Liang, which is the limit of maintaining dignity. In the end, people didn't pour it for me, but I poured it myself, and I finished one bottle. It's nothing. I can totally yell. Strange? ! When have I been so stable? Maybe I'm in a good mood. To tell the truth, I really laughed that night, feather fan and black scarf. Unfortunately, the old country has fallen, and the legacy of Jiangdong has long since gone. Finally, he wants to open it again. I suddenly woke up and stopped it. After drinking it, this town will be mine. At this time, there are few pedestrians on the street, which is very different from others and basically the same as me. Back to the hotel, you have to cross the river and walk on the iron cable bridge paved with wooden boards. The creaking sound between the chain and the board when shaking is like flying over Luding Bridge. I don't want to go back to the hotel when I'm in a good mood, so I just play near the pier-

I slept until ten o'clock the next day, and the sun was already dazzling. Just opened the window, it smells like distiller's grains! How happy I am to live here. I bathed in wine all day, and I wouldn't change for another fairy.

My brother had already waited downstairs and hurried downstairs to have breakfast. He said he was going to the other side of the river, so he went later. First of all, I will visit a series of red memorial areas, be baptized by my ancestors and feel the sublimation of my faith!

Cross the iron lock bridge and come to the place last night. It turns out that there is a lot of content across the street. Last night, the night covered my eyes and I didn't know its territory. This is the center of Maotai ancient town for generations! White walls and gray tiles, built on the mountain, seem messy, but in fact they are well planned and well organized. Qingshiban Road is clean and tidy, from bottom to top, with a drop of 30 to 40 meters. Like the pattern on both sides of the main street, there are many wine shops. Just like my doubts when I first entered the ancient town, there are more wine sellers than tourists, and there are no customers in the store. Can they make money? At this time, Brother Fei Da gave me a simple account: "You see, according to the national population of 400 million, there is at least one-sixth room for Maotai-flavor liquor. Hit 70 million people, and one person only drinks 10 A Jin year. How many tons? The platform can only produce more than 40,000 tons per year. Who can make up the rest? Even if the whole town's enterprises are put together, it is not enough. So many fake town wines were born. Although thousands of restaurants are deserted, there are tourists from all over the country, and the facade is just advertising. In fact, there is basically no inventory in the store. " What I said made me suddenly enlightened. It really is. It seems that I think this industry is very simple and it is just a "wine". Never thought, it has formed an empire of wine. There is a saying on the Internet: "Taiwan Province" plus town, be careful. "How many people have been misled. If you can buy real town wine, you have earned it.

After two days of observation, I finally understand why this is the only place where top-class liquor can be born. The water source of Chishui River is only one of them, and the temperature is more important. This town is a long and narrow basin, only seven or eight kilometers away from the county seat, but the temperature is obviously higher than that of the county seat, and it is humid and sultry. Isn't this a natural place suitable for koji fermentation? Very unique. Cannot be copied.

More than half of the afternoon tour of the ancient town has passed, and we have come to the century-old factory, which is a famous wine culture city. Speaking of this, many people may not know it, but the "table wall" that is very popular in Tik Tok is among them. It is said that the vintage wine (not for sale) over several decades is filled with a wall, and its value is immeasurable. It's a pity that we can't go in for a visit this weekend. Next to the cultural city is the roof of a century-old house, and the gray tiles still retain the quaint feeling of that year. Every brick, tile, grass and tree in Fiona Fang has been slightly intoxicated by wine for many years, silently telling people the story of wine with a long history. Living here, the days of playing cards and drinking have passed leisurely, which is really desirable! Obviously I'm a little drunk, not drunk, but ecstatic!

In the afternoon, we left the ancient town and went to Shenqi Bagua Garden, an idyllic scenic spot in the south of Renhuai. Ten thousand mu of rape flowers are pieced together into a huge shape of eight diagrams, in which other vegetation with obvious color contrast is planted, which is a bit interesting. In the spring season, tourists come in droves and are very lively. The rape flowers in the garden are in full bloom, and the colors are dazzling in the bright sunshine, swaying gently with the breeze. Different hexagrams composed of cherry blossom, apricot blossom, peach blossom and bauhinia blossom into their own graceful figures, all of which happily praise Yangchun.

From the Great Wall to Xi 'an, I took off my cotton-padded clothes and felt pity. From Xi to Guizhou, long sleeves are redundant. And the vegetation is relatively green, probably all year round. You know, there is only a trace of green in the north of April, which can't be compared, can't be compared. How big the motherland is!

At about four o'clock, we sat in a farmhouse in the southwest of the vegetable garden for dinner. Unexpectedly, from this moment on, I officially experienced the wine culture of the wine capital. As for how I got back to the hotel after midnight, I don't remember at all ~

Our courtyard is located in the southwest of Bagua Garden, slightly higher than the park. Sitting there just overlooks the panoramic view, not to mention how comfortable it is, but the spring is infinitely good! It's still a table, slightly different from last night's (not old), but still superior. Discussions about culture, customs and vast land have begun again. What he admires me is that it is easy to distinguish between the east and the west. For example, when I told him the style of the village on the east slope and the house on the south, he was very surprised and said, "I'm surprised. How do you know the direction?" Where we are, people are used to being in front or behind, next to this or that? No one said the direction. "I was surprised, too. Here and there, how can you tell whether it's front, back, left and right, and from which direction? It's over! Give directions and get him in. Actually, it makes sense to think about it Living here, he naturally knows the difference between this, that, front and back. Besides, this mountain area itself has no positive direction, and even the roads are irregular, so it is difficult to tell the direction. This, that may be the best way to find out. It seems that the biggest obstacle is not cultural differences, but the habit of treating vision with exclusion, which is obviously wrong. I have found this in many people, mostly due to lack of knowledge and limited thinking. Stubbornly think that what you see in your circle is right.

Let's have a good time in the evening. When there is not enough wine and excitement, we will go to karaoke. He doesn't believe I can sing well, so he has to verify it. Strength tells him that the prince of love songs is not called for nothing. I forgot how much beer I drank. Anyway, I kept it for fear of making people laugh. This will definitely not work. Anyway, K-song will take me to eat midnight snack. According to the inertial thinking, how to go when you are full at night? But I know that the so-called midnight snack is not to fill the stomach, but an extension of wine culture, which I deeply realized in Chongqing and Sichuan. Of course I don't want to go. I'm very tired. If I hadn't had a good time, I would have fallen asleep standing. However, he kindly refused and left with reluctant steps. The barbecue restaurant downstairs is just around the corner. He asked some buddies to accompany him. I knew it wasn't that simple, so I made it clear in advance that I didn't drink less this afternoon. Now I can only drink two bottles at most. No one will try to convince me.

"All right, just two bottles." Ding Mao! A few pieces have been put under the table.

After a while, bamboo skewers came up, and the meat was really like a toothpick. I began to joke: "In our north, there is more meat left after eating bones." (Of course I know that the exquisiteness of southerners lies in this) "

"Come on, waiter, give him some brains."

"What the hell?"

Sure enough, a brain covered with red oil was served. What is this?

"The brain, of course!"

Oh, buy ga! Is this food really available? !

They let me lick it with a spoon. At first, I thought it would be very exciting. I never thought it would be like tofu brain. Very tender, delicious, especially delicious. Then I forgot to eat and was advised to drink. By this time, I have swallowed five or six bottles. Just listen to the two bottles you just said.

I don't know how much I drank. In short, I have been drinking since that afternoon, and I am very sleepy, but I still don't hold on. How did you get back? I don't know-

At noon the next day, Brother Fei Da said to me meaningfully, "I'm sorry I drank too much, but I'm not happy that I didn't drink too much. You come once in a blue moon. If you don't drink too much, I don't think I have taken good care of you. " "Yeah, you take care of very in place, everything is the best arrangement. I am very happy and satisfied. I can only say trouble! "

I planned to stay in town for a day and a half, but it never occurred to me. I watched the sun for three days. Deep in the alley, tourists don't want to go home! The holiday is limited, so I have to go on a whim!
