Chapter 284
The banquet was full of food that was unique to the Li people, which made everyone enjoy the food.
The first thing I took was naturally the Shanlan Rice Wine of the Li people. The Li family called it "Youbian" wine. It is famous for its mellow taste, sweet taste, and strong but not strong. More importantly, it contains the unique cultural connotation of a nation.
Shanlan rice is the unique dry-growing mountain orchid rice rice that is the unique rice resin aroma. The most important wine koji is made of natural flat leaf thorns, mountain orange leaves, and southern coconut tree hearts. These leaves have a unique resin aroma.
Rice cream aroma and resin aroma create the unique Lijiashan Lan Rice Wine.
The color of the Li people’s mountain orchid wine was milky white in the early stage and was as gentle as jade. The Li people usually called it “biang” wine.
"biang" wine is the most attractive to those who are not good at wine. It is strong, sweet and slightly spicy, spicy but not dry. After a year, the wine turns yellow-brown, like agate, with a weaker sweetness and a stronger fragrance. This is the best product. As time goes by, the wine turns red or even black, which is the best product and is the most authentic.
At this time, the wine in the wine glass in Wang Jiu's hand was black!
Elder Wang of the Li people was explaining to Wang Jiu how to make the Li people's Shanlan Rice Wine...
Drinking Shanlan wine to produce salivation, but it has a lot of energy!
After three rounds of wine, I started serving the meal.
The three-color rice of the Li people is the same.
Use the "scented rice" in Shanlan Rice (a type of dry rice) and combine it with meat as raw materials, put it into a bamboo tube sawed by fresh powdered bamboo or mangosteen, add an appropriate amount of water, and then use banana leaves to block the mouth of the bamboo tube, roast the green bamboo in charcoal fire, and the rice inside can be eaten.
Bamboo tube rice is a traditional delicacy of the Li people. It is more commonly made in the mountains than in the wild or grilled with charcoal at home. Bamboo tube rice is usually made when the Li family travels far away, goes up the mountain to hunt or entertain guests.
The three-color rice in the Li family is red, black and yellow, and is taken from natural plants to dye. The ingredients for making the three-color rice: mountain orchid glutinous rice, maple, red and blue vine leaves, yellow ginger, etc.; the three colors complement each other, the shape is beautiful, and the medicinal flavor has a sweet fragrance and is very flavorful.
Another dish almost made He Yi swallow his tongue, which was Li’s sauerkraut!
This unique dish that Li people entertain guests is called "Nan Sha".
"Nansha" is pickled sauerkraut. It is a wild vegetable called "lienen" in Liyu (peel off the leaves and take their young stems) or "zhiwen" (take their young stems and leaves), and mix them with cold rice and water, and seal them in the jar for one month, so that they can ferment into a unique sauerkraut; or chop the vertebrae of a cow or mountain deer, or chop the field crabs, frogs, grasshoppers and other small animals, mix them with half-cooked hot dry rice, add a lot of salt or salt water, and store them in the jar. After fermenting for more than a month or even one or two years, take them out and eat.
"Nansha" has a strong and unique smell.
Those who can eat "Nan Kill" like the Li family at the banquet will be a very popular guest, that is, how to use it.
Seeing that He Yi likes "Nan Killing" so much, Li Jiangyuan smiled into a crack...
Wang Jiu drank the mountain rice wine from the Li family like drinking water, and there were endless people coming to worship Wang Jiu.
Elder Wang, even after he had finished practicing Wang Jiu's three big bowls, jumped into the venue like a child, and started dancing... It made Xian Sanniang's eyes fall out. She never thought that the sophisticated and steadfast Elder Wang could be so relaxed...
The Li people are good at singing and dancing.
When Elder Wang walked to the scene, Li Ren's single-wood veneer drum, nose flute, dingdong board and so on began to ring, and at the same time, several men and women began to sing...
There are two main songs of the Li people: one is Chinese as lyrics, with the rhythm of Li songs as the singing style, which is called "Chinese lyrics and Li tunes"; the other is to use Li language as lyrics, which is called "Li Ballads and regular tunes". The content of Li songs is diverse, including life songs, love songs, chants, ritual songs, narrative songs, miscellaneous songs, etc.; the singer improvises lyrics and sings heart songs, which is fascinating...
When Elder Wang left the stage to dance, many Li people followed him in. In a short while, the banquet venue became a sea of joy.
Then He Shan was obviously drunk and staggered to punch drunk in the field, causing everyone to laugh...
Wang Jiu looked at the joyful people in front of him, and his heart was filled with joy.
Wang Jiu drank a lot of wine, and the men of Li took turns to toasting him. Even Xian Sanniang had several big bowls with Wang Jiu. But Wang Jiu drank like water, and his eyes became brighter and brighter the more he drank...
Xian Sanniang was surprised by Wang Jiu's massive amounts and was full of confidence in the cooperation between Li Ren and Wang Jiu!
But now Wang Jiu looked at the noisy crowd, but was thinking, "Singing during the day, you must drink, and youth should be your companion to return home..." Wang Jiu really missed the child Ren Qing and he had not met yet, and missed Du Xuemeng and his daughter Wang Qiyu...
Wang Jiu really wanted to return to his wife and children immediately...
The banquet fell from noon until night...
The host and the host are all happy.
That night, all these people fell to the ground and slept, and then they were carried to the Liren's boathouse to rest.
He Yi didn't drink much, but after she got sleepy, she found Wang Jiu.
At this moment, Wang Jiu sat alone on the edge of Lizhai, looking up at the crescent moon in the sky...
"Brother Ajiu, why are you watching the bright moon alone?" He Yi asked.
Wang Jiu nodded.
"When did you walk away?" He Yi asked.
"Just when you have the happiest time." Wang Jiu said.
"Do you miss your wife and children?" He Yi said with a blushing face. This blushing face was not just because of drinking.
Wang Jiu nodded again and said, "I originally wanted to leave, but now it seems that I can't leave for the time being. It's probably still half a month before I can leave."
"Ah...why?" He Yi had known that her Ajiu brother was leaving, but she never thought that she would stay here for a while and couldn't help but feel happy. But after a second thought, she suppressed her inner joy, afraid that her Ajiu brother would be unhappy.
Unexpectedly, Wang Jiu said without caring: "I talked with Lishou Xian Sanniang today, but I want to take the lead here to establish a place led by Lishou, specifically acquire Lishou brocades, and sell them to the Ming Dynasty and overseas. If both, or if possible, I will take some Lishou men into the Jinyiwei. According to Xian Sanniang, many of their Lishou people make a living by hunting or fishing in the sea. I also want to recruit some good-looking people to enrich themselves into the Jinyiwei..."
Wang Jiu and He Yi looked at the crescent moon, and He Yi snuggled beside Wang Jiu... At some point, Wang Jiu said for a long time, but he had not heard He Yi's reply, but heard He Yi's even breathing sound. It turned out that He Yi had fallen asleep unknowingly.
