The culture of Hua Xia's drinking table was extensive and profound. Perhaps no one would dare to say that they were proficient in the culture of the drinking table. On the drinking table, you could succeed or fail. There were many ways to do it. This was also the reason why so many people still gritted their teeth and drank until their liver, heart, and spleen were all damaged.
When it came to the culture of the drinking table, it was necessary to mention the drinking culture of Hua Xia. The drinking culture had been deeply rooted in the blood of Hua Xia people for thousands of years. In the Book of Songs, drinking was given various meanings such as etiquette, social interaction, and leisure. It reflected a specific order of the clan and human relations.
To put it simply, if the two parties had different ideas and intentions, they would have a drink at the table. Whoever could outdrink the other would have the final say in this matter. Many historical facts were not portrayed so clearly on TV and in movies.
In recent days, the Legend of Mei Niang was broadcast, and the scenes below the neck were cut. Let's talk about the Tang Dynasty. The banquets of the Tang Dynasty usually started in the morning and lasted until dusk. It was normal to drink for seven or eight hours.
Some people might have rich historical knowledge and say that the alcohol content of ancient times was low, equivalent to the alcohol content of modern beer. Everyone agreed on this point, but if you started drinking beer early in the morning and kept drinking until night time, would you be able to do it?
But compared to the Qing Dynasty, this was not considered drinking in the Tang Dynasty! During the Qing Dynasty, many banquets paid for by the government lasted for three to five days. This was not nonsense. It was said by the Yellow Flag Brothers' great-grandfather who was over a hundred years old. Of course, these were not just social activities of the people at that time. They were also political activities.
Now, many people probably understood why Hua Xia people liked to persuade people to drink so much. If you had to eat for three to five days, although there were singing and dancing performances, you would get tired of them. After all, singing and dancing performances were not as beautiful as those in television dramas.
Therefore, alcohol was a huge support. If a meal lasted for such a long time, the topics would inevitably dry up. It would be boring to just drink. Therefore, the smart Hua Xia people invented all kinds of methods to persuade people to drink.
What do you mean by lifting your buttocks and drinking again? Suck it up when you have deep feelings and lick when you have shallow feelings! Agitated heart, trembling hands, I give a cup of alcohol to the leader, but the leader doesn't drink and thinks I'm ugly! He would rather have a hole in his stomach than a crack in his relationship!
There were also provocative remarks, such as men who didn't drink were like dogs, men who didn't drink in vain.
Of course, there were also scheming female subordinates who clinked glasses with the leader while saying the classic line, "The leader is on top, I'm on the bottom. You say how many times I'll come down."
Fortunately, it was a socialist society now. If there was something that could not be drunk, at most, they would be despised by others. One had to know that this was still the Three Kingdoms, Wei and Jin Dynasties. Everyone who had seen the Three Kingdoms knew what the outcome would be. Zhang Fei's subordinate, Cao Bao, did not know how to drink. Zhang Fei was furious and wanted to give him a hundred beatings. Everyone pleaded for mercy, and Zhang Fei only gave him fifty lashes.
Cao Cao was even more ruthless. He proposed a toast in the front, and Dian Wei followed him closely with his axe. Dian Wei would salute whoever Cao Cao proposed a toast to with his axe. You dare not drink it? If you don't drink, I'll chop you up.
Nowadays, some people who were particular about morality in society also liked to talk about drinking. If you didn't drink, you would offend others.
Xu Yun arranged this meal for Deputy Director Li, saying that it was a welcome dinner, but in fact, it was just to tease this great leader. As such a great leader, it was absolutely false to say that he did not know how to drink. Not to mention practicing drinking every day, he could even smoke it out.
However, no matter how good a person was at drinking, it would still hurt his body. No one could escape from this.
However, for people like Xu Yun who had broken through the limit and done alcohol immunity training, it was different. It really did not affect him at all. Alcohol would be forced out of the pores of the body.
After arranging the drinking party, Xu Yun directly asked Lin Ge to invite Deputy Director Li and Peter Zhao to go with him. Today, he would drink with them at the table and see how much they could drink. People who drank too much were easily fooled and more likely to do stupid things than normal people. This was a fact that had to be admitted.
Because Zuo Meiyan arranged Xu Yun's general assistant, Zuo Meiyan naturally knew about this matter as soon as possible. It seemed that her guess was right. Deputy Director Li did have some tricks up his sleeve. He wanted to catch Xu Yun off guard.
However, Xu Yun's performance did not disappoint Zuo Meiyan. Being able to pull Deputy Director Li to the table at the first opportunity showed that he reacted quickly and was smart enough.
"Can Xu Yun handle it alone? Do you need our help? " Ruan Qingshuang said, "Why don't we go and have a look? If he can't handle it alone, the two of us will help him."
"No, this matter should be left to him." Zuo Meiyan said, "I think, maybe Xu Yun can handle it better than us."
"Are you really not afraid that he will mess it up?" Ruan Qingshuang did not know whether to laugh or cry. "If he had not offended Peter Zhao, Deputy Director Li would not have come to trouble us."
Zuo Meiyan was also quite helpless about this matter, but since Xu Yun had chosen the way he wanted to choose, she would let him handle it. "At most, they will have a falling out. After all, Deputy Director Li is a leader. Xu Yun can't hit him, right? However, Deputy Director Li must drink a few more glasses today. It will hurt his liver. "
Since Deputy Director Li was a leader, Xu Yun naturally could not lose face. The huge room was resplendent and could be considered the most luxurious room in the movie hotel. Usually, it was used to receive internationally famous filmmakers, and other times, it was used by the leaders who had the power to control them.
Deputy Director Li was a little flattered to see such a grand occasion, but he was also a little worried. Now that the national leaders were seriously investigating waste, if at this time, someone really tipped off the inspection team of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and caught him red-handed, he would not be able to defend himself even if yellow mud fell into his pants.
"President Xu, this is really a little too big." Deputy Director Li said, "We are mainly making friends. We don't care about this."
Xu Yun smiled slightly. "Of course, I know that Director Li is honest and does not like to be extravagant and wasteful, but after all, this is my home ground. Director Li, you have to give me face."
"Since you are here, I will not refuse. However, you are not allowed to do this in the future." Although Deputy Director Li said this, he was very proud of himself. "People nowadays have eaten everything. In the end, they think that the taste of delicacies is not as good as the taste of wild vegetables. You have chosen the place, so I can't do anything about it. However, the dishes must not be too complicated. The lighter the better. "
"Then I will listen to you!" Xu Yun turned back to tell Lin Ge, "Did you hear that? Chief Inspector Lee is not interested in those delicacies. Go and get the kitchen to remove all those pig's lips, camel's hump, monkey's head, bear's paw, and bird's nest, duck's breast, deer tendon, and yellow lip gum."
When Xu Yun said this, Deputy Director Li was stunned. Peter Zhao could not help but lick his lips. These were the best of the best! Even the ancient emperors might not be able to eat these things whenever they wanted.
"…" Deputy Commissioner Li wanted to say something but stopped himself. He couldn't possibly slap himself in the mouth. After all, ever since Da Da came to power, corruption and extravagance had been severely punished. Deputy Commissioner Li's stomach had been dwindling day by day, and he had already lost more than five kilograms.
Deputy Director Li signaled Peter Zhao with his eyes, but Peter Zhao did not understand. In fact, even if he understood, he would be too embarrassed to say that he wanted to eat.
Deputy Director Li was speechless. If Peter Zhao stood up and said, "Since you are ready, don't bother. Just do it." Then the matter would be over, and they would be able to eat their fill.
"Boss Xu, Director Li wants to eat some light wild vegetables. Shall I ask the kitchen to prepare some?" Lin Ge added fuel to the fire.
"Yes!" Xu Yun said decisively. "Today, we will have a wild vegetable banquet. Make a scrambled egg with Chinese toon, shepherd's purse in oil, willow bean curd balls, steamed purslane, coleslaw, stir-fried dandelion, shredded pork with bracken, golden elm coin … The rest, you can let the kitchen do as they see fit. The more off-road dishes, the better."
In fact, the wild vegetables that Xu Yun mentioned were indeed good things. They were suitable for modern people to fill their stomachs with oil. However, compared to those delicacies, the taste was far inferior.
