"We are all from country Z, and when it comes to Yiyang Finger, everyone may know it. "Lin Xuyang didn't answer directly, but mentioned Yiyang Finger, he also knew that he couldn't explain it clearly to everyone, and if he said it clearly, it would not be good for him."www.biquge.info

"A yang finger, to refer to the imperial qi, of course I have heard of it, but now almost no one can reach that realm." Zhou Qing held his cheek in his right hand, and said thoughtfully.

"In Jin Yong's novel, Duan Yu's six-vein divine sword is recorded, I believe you all have an impression." Lin Xuyang said lightly.

"Six-vein Divine Sword? Isn't that fictional in a novel? Could it be that there really is such a kung fu in the world? Zhou Qing was completely confused and asked in surprise.

"Whether there is this kung fu or not, I can't say, I just said that I will use this little thing, which is similar to that, just use my eyes to resist qi." Lin Xuyang laughed brightly after speaking.

"It turns out that Brother Lin is so amazing, hey, how old did you start practicing, who is your master, can you introduce me to me?" Zhou Qing didn't care about the reactions of everyone around him at this time, stepped forward and grabbed Lin Xuyang's arm, and asked enthusiastically.

"Zhou Qing, Vice Lin is always a distinguished guest from your Uncle Zheng, don't be like this without a tutor." Li Wenhao saw Zhou Qing's expression, his face sank, he scolded, and then said with a smile: "It's not early, let's go down to have dinner and talk while eating." ”

Eating is of great significance to the people of country Z, and now the eating activity is not just as simple as filling the stomach, but has been sublimated to a table art. Not to mention that the dishes on the table are divided into 18,800 kinds, just a dish, but also pay attention to this flavor and fragrance, what is sweet in the south and salty in the north, spicy in the east and sour in the west, what delicacies from the mountains and seas, and snacks from all over the world, which emerge in endlessly, and it is constantly updated at the speed of seconds, and the variety is so many that it cannot be expressed. Let's just say that this fine wine, since Du Kang made the first glass of fine wine, the human table culture has reached a new level, and more wonderful stories have been interpreted.

There is also a magical legend about the invention of fine wine.

It is said that Du Kang was originally a minister under the Yellow Emperor. After the Yellow Emperor established a tribal alliance, he tasted herbs and grains through the Shennong clan, and began to cultivate land to grow grain. The Yellow Emperor ordered Du Kang to manage the production of grain, and Du Kang was very responsible. Because the land is fertile, the wind and rain are smooth, the harvest is bumper year after year, the grain is more and more, at that time, because there is no warehouse, there is no scientific storage method, Du Kang piled the harvest grain in the cave, for a long time, because the cave is damp, the grain is all moldy. When the Yellow Emperor learned about this, he was very angry and ordered Du Kang to be removed from his post and only let him be kept as grain, and said that if the grain was still moldy in the future, Du Kang would be executed.

Du Kang was suddenly demoted from a minister in charge of grain production to a grain custodian, and he was very sad. But he also thought that the ancestors, Fenghou, Cangjie and other ministers had invented and created and made great contributions, but he had no merit and committed crimes. Thinking of this, his anger disappeared, and he secretly made up his mind: he must do a good job of keeping the grain. One day, Du Kang found an open field in the forest, and several large trees around it had died, leaving only thick trunks. The inside of the trunk was empty. Du Kang had an idea, and he thought that if he put the grain in the hole of the tree, maybe it would not spoil. So, he hollowed out all the dead trees in the woods one by one. Within a few days, all the grain was packed into the hollow of the tree.

Who knows, two years later, the grain in the hollow of the tree was slowly fermented by the wind, the sun, and the rain. One day, when Du Kang went up the mountain to check the grain, he suddenly found several goats, wild boars and rabbits lying around a dead tree containing grain. At first he thought that the beasts were dead, but when he looked closer, he found that they were still alive, and they seemed to be asleep. Du Kang couldn't figure out what the reason was for a while, and he was still wondering, when a wild boar woke up. As soon as it saw someone coming, it immediately ran into the woods. Immediately afterwards, the goats and rabbits also woke up and fled. Du Kang did not bring a bow and arrows with him when he went up the mountain, so he did not chase after him.

Murayasu was about to walk back when he found two goats bowing their heads and licking something with their tongues in front of the tree hole containing the grain. Du Kang hurriedly hid behind a big tree to observe, only to see the two goats licking for a while, then staggered, and lay on the ground after walking a short distance. Du Kang ran over and tied up the two goats, and then examined in detail what the goats had just licked with their tongues on the hollow of the tree. If you don't look at it, it can startle Du Kang. A crack had been made in the hole in the tree where the grain had been contained, and the water seeped out, and goats, wild boars, and rabbits licked the water before falling to the ground. Du Kang sniffed it with his nose, and the oozing water was particularly fragrant, and he couldn't help but taste it too. The taste is a little spicy, but it is particularly mellow. The more he tasted, the more he wanted to taste it, and finally took a few sips in a row. It didn't matter what I drank, and all of a sudden, I felt that the world was spinning, and as soon as I took two steps forward, I fell to the ground groggily and fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, but when Du Kang woke up, he saw that one of the two goats that had been tied up had run away, and the other was struggling. He rolled over, only to feel full of energy and strength, and accidentally trampled the struggling goat to death. He took off the pointed bottom jar from his waist and filled half a jar of the fragrant water that seeped out of the hollow of the tree.

After returning, Du Kang told the other people who kept the grain what he had seen, and brought back the fragrant water for everyone to taste, and everyone thought it was very strange. Some suggested that the matter should be reported to the Yellow Emperor as soon as possible, but some people disagreed, on the grounds that Du Kang had spoiled the grain in the past and was demoted, and now he had put the grain into a tree hole and turned it into water. If the Yellow Emperor knew about it, if he didn't kill his head, he would also beat Du Kang half to death. After hearing this, Du Kang said to everyone unhurriedly: "Until now, whether it is good or bad, you can't hide it from the Yellow Emperor." With that, he lifted the pointed bottom jar and went to find the Yellow Emperor.

After listening to Du Kang's report, the Yellow Emperor carefully tasted the fragrant water he brought, and immediately discussed the matter with the ministers. The ministers agreed that this was a vital energy in the grain, not poisonous water. The Yellow Emperor did not reproach Du Kang, and ordered him to continue to observe and carefully ponder the truth. He also ordered Cangjie to give a name to this very fragrant water. Cangjie said casually: "This water is fragrant and mellow, and you can drink it." After saying that, he coined the word "wine". The Yellow Emperor and the ministers all thought that the name had been achieved well.

Nowadays, this wine culture is not inferior to others, what kind of wine, how to make it, even the tools used to drink, and the skills of talking at the table, are very particular, especially when visiting other places, this meal can simply make you wake up like a dream, and everything that is still unfamiliar just now has become familiar.
