Yang Jing, Liu Cheng, Wang Zhe, Liu Gang, Shao Shikun, and Zhu Qiliang, these were the "Six Immortals of Taogu" in Class 8 of Grade 3 of Tianqu No. 1 Middle School when Yang Jing was in high school. Of course, the so-called "Six Immortals of Taogu" was given by the six of them themselves. At such a young age, they had to give themselves such a very immature name...
(PS: Speaking of the Six Immortals of Taogu, I can't help but think of the late Jin Yong. It's really a pity and even more heartbreaking. Here, I would like to pay tribute to Master Jin Yong and wish him a good journey...)
Among the six of them, Liu Gang was the oldest and had a rather erratic personality, so they gave him a resounding nickname: Old Rogue. This guy not only did not take it as an offense, but was secretly pleased with it, so this nickname accompanied him throughout his three years in high school.
Shao Shikun's nickname is Kunzi, and Zhu Qiliang is naturally Lao Zhu.
Now, the six good friends who spent three years of happiness, loss, struggle and hard work together in high school have finally gathered together again.
"Hey, Yangzi, we haven't been able to contact you for more than three years, almost four years, since you ran off to London. You didn't come back during the Chinese New Year, and you didn't look for us when you came back. We all thought you were dead. A few days ago during the Qingming Festival, Lao Zhu even said he would find a crossroads to burn some paper for you! Hey, buddy, how did you comfort us after we were so worried about you for these four years!"
The old rogue Liu Gang was holding a wine glass, muttering to himself while looking at Yang Jing. His meaning was very clear - it’s not a big deal, just handle it yourself!
Damn! I’m afraid of you! I’ve been practicing for the past two years!
"Hey, you old rascal, don't provoke me with such words. Even if you don't say anything, I know what to do! It's just drinking, I'm pretty good at it! Come on, brothers, let's drink together first, you guys can do whatever you want, I'm exhausted! Consider it my apology to you guys, Yang Jing."
Yang Jing said this, and the bachelor did it even better. He raised his head and emptied the cup that could hold two taels of wine.
Liu Cheng complained angrily: "Yangzi, you are so dishonest. What you did is kidnapping! You knew it was the first cup, but you still said it so high-soundingly, as if you were really apologizing!"
Old Zhu Qiliang didn't say anything. He drank the glass of wine in one gulp. After putting the glass on the table, he began to complain: "Yangzi, you are really unkind! You know that we have to drink the first glass of wine. This has been our rule for many years. You still said these words. This is opportunism! If it were the early 1980s, you would have been charged with speculation!"
Several people burst into laughter.
Compared to Lao Zhu and Lao Liugang's haggling, Liu Cheng, Wang Zhe and Shao Shikun really enjoyed today's wine.
Today, Yang Jing did not take out Erguotou liquor, but took out a bottle of Quanxing Daqu from the storage space.
This piece of Quanxing Daqu was collected by Lao Na, who collected a lot at that time. These six bottles are Quanxing Daqu produced in 1977. The last time Yang Jing returned to Yanjing from Xinjiang Province, he brought dozens of bottles of Sichuan wine with him. Today, he suddenly met an old classmate, so Yang Jing picked six bottles of Quanxing Daqu produced in 1977 from the space, and then found a wine box to pack them and brought them over.
The Quanxing Daqu produced in 1977 did not have the rectangular shape of later generations. Instead, it was in a round bottle, similar in appearance to the current 42-degree Niu Er. The lid was a plastic cover, which was later sealed with a layer of wax by Lao Na.
When the wine was poured just now, everyone was busy talking and no one paid attention to what kind of wine Yang Jing brought. They thought that the wine he brought was a local wine from Tianqu. But as soon as the wine was taken a sip, the careful Shao Shikun, Liu Cheng and Wang Zhe immediately tasted the difference.
"Hey! Yangzi, what kind of wine are you holding? This wine is delicious!" Shao Shikun put down his wine glass and ignored the old rogue and Lao Zhu who were complaining, but asked Yang Jing with surprise.
Wang Zhe said, "Well, the wine Yangzi brought today is not ordinary. Lao Zhu, stop talking and bring the bottle over for me to see."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qiliang stopped complaining, turned around, grabbed the empty bottle, and held it up to examine it carefully.
"Damn, Yangzi brought Quanxing Daqu! But I've never seen Quanxing Daqu in this bottle before... Where's the production date? Hey, this is... This is Quanxing Daqu produced in 1977!"
Zhu Qiliang's shout immediately made the whole room quiet.
The old wines that Lao Na collected were not considered old wines in 1988. Take these six bottles of Quanxing Daqu for example, which were only eleven years old in 1988, so the trademarks and other things were preserved very well.
For white bottled liquor produced in that era, the production date was mostly not printed on the outside of the label or on the bottle cap, but on the inside of the label in blue letters. Because the label was directly attached to the bottle, if you wanted to see the production date, you had to look through the bottle to see it.
Yang Jing brought these six bottles of Quanxing Daqu to this time and space in 1988. Although the time span is as long as 42 years, in fact, these six bottles of wine have only been stored for 11 years. However, Quanxing Daqu at that time was one of the eight famous wines, so even if the Quanxing Daqu of that era was stored for 11 years, the taste has become extremely authentic.
"Old Zhu, does this wine look like the Quanxing Daqu produced in 1977?" Wang Zhe was also surprised. He now worked in the office of a formal bureau-level unit, and his usual work was to serve the leaders, so he certainly understood what Quanxing Daqu produced in 1977 meant.
