Riding the wind of rebirth

Old Chi Ri invented a new method of making wine. Now that there is a drying oven for processing dried mushrooms, the old man will first dry various sour fruits picked from the mountains into dried fruit, and then use this dried fruit to make wine.

This is a bit much. The friends were hoping that drinking fruit wine would lower the alcohol content, but Old Chi Ri actually came up with this method to maintain the alcohol content of the fruit wine...

However, when drinking with a close friend, one's alcohol tolerance naturally increases. In addition, after getting everyone drunk yesterday and being complained about by Azi, and with activities tonight, Lao Chi Ri didn't try too hard to persuade them to drink. Everyone was in pretty good spirits.

Samaranchong also brought two bottles of Ziyi wine this time. This wine has now become a famous brand exported to the island country, and its value in China has also risen. However, unlike the overseas marketing strategy, the main focus in China is on the concept of "women's health".

This wine was discovered by Zhou Zhi when he brought Japanese and Korean guests to Yi Township to investigate matsutake mushroom resources. It is actually a low-alcohol wine made from buckwheat, which is called "paoshui wine" locally. It has a unique buckwheat flavor similar to Japanese sake. It was eventually developed into two types of wine: "Ziyi Zhuo" in the form of raw rice soup, and "Ziyi Qing" after a clarification process.

Now, the Ziyi Winery under the Zhou Liu Niang Group has also launched "Rose Ziyi Qing" and "Jasmine Ziyi Qing", which give the wine a floral fragrance and have become the first choice for many urban women when they want to enjoy a drink.

Girls drink this, boys drink fruit wine. They're fragrant with flowers and fruits, and apart from the different speed at which they get drunk, they're quite a good match.

However, the reason why Old Chi Ri didn't force everyone to drink soon became clear: Little Sister A Guo led a group of kids in and asked, "Brother Zhou, why are you still eating? Didn't you say you were going to take us to set off fireworks?"

Zhou Zhi looked pitifully at Old Chi Ri: "Grandpa, look..."

Old Chi Ri raised his wine glass: "Drink this reunion wine and then go. You kids have fun, don't worry about us old folks!"

By the time the children were led by the dolls to the square outside the grain station, the square was already quite lively.

There are two tall frames in the square, each with a long rope attached to it. At the bottom of the rope is a wooden board, which people can step on and swing very high.

Zhou Zhi encouraged A Zi to set a rule, calling the swing the "Love Swing," stipulating that a man and a woman must go up at the same time, then stand facing each other on the board and swing together.

During this process, physical contact between young men and women is inevitable. The boy needs to show courage and comfort and protect the girl. Therefore, this little device can be somewhat helpful in promoting the progress of the relationship between young men and women.

There's a couple dressed in new clothes swinging on it right now. Every time the swing starts, the girl lets out a sharp scream. She seems to be both talented and playful.

Zhou Zhi couldn't see who the boy was, so he asked, "Who's on the swing?"

The children immediately chimed in, "It's Mugalaha! Mugalaha is playing with Azirila from Sula Village!"

"Hey! That little mud monkey Mujia has found Amizi to play with?!" Zhou Zhi laughed.

Unexpectedly, Mu Jialaha on the swing could hear everything and shouted from the swing: "Brother Elbow, you're talking bad about me!"

"Don't scare Amizai!" Zhou Zhi shouted at the monkey on the swing. "That's enough. By the way, come with me to fish with a surf rod in a few days, and we'll catch some Ya fish!"

"No problem, Mu Jialaha will treat the older brothers and sisters to a big feast!"

"You're so generous!" Seeing that the little girl was a bit scared, Zhou Zhi quickly called out again, "We're going to set off fireworks in a bit, do you want to light them?"

"miss you!"

"If you want to, hurry up and get down and move your things to the riverbank!"

"Eh!"

When the two got off the swing, Zhou Zhi noticed that the little girl's legs were a bit weak, so he quickly comforted her, "Mu Jia is a naughty boy, don't take it to heart. He just said your name is Azi..." "Her name is Azi Rila, from Sula Village, she's my deskmate." Mu Jia proudly introduced her to everyone, "Azi, this is my brother Zhouzi, he's the one who helped our village change!"

"Brother Elbow..." Azi Rila greeted him in a low voice.

"Don't listen to Mujia's nonsense," Zhou Zhi laughed. "Where is Sula Village? I've never heard of it."

“Sula Village is located on a mountain cliff. Azi will only be able to go back during the winter vacation and will not be able to go back for the New Year, so I brought her to our house to play.”

The Yi people's New Year holiday is seven days. According to Mujialaha, it's not worth going back to Azirila. It's probably not just a short distance, but mostly mountain roads. It could take two days to get there and four days to go back and forth.

"That's good," Zhou Zhi said with a smile. "As the young master, you should be generous."

“Muga is so good to me,” Azirila quickly added, “...and so are his parents.”

"Weren't you supposed to be moving fireworks? Where are the fireworks?" Mu Jialaha asked impatiently, no longer bothering with pleasantries.

"I'm in my car!" Wu Renzhong slapped him on the backside from behind: "You blockhead, you can't even see me after I've only been gone a few days, huh?!"

"Brother Renzhong, you're back too?!" Mujia Laha jumped and shouted happily, "And the fairy sister too!"

"No wonder girls like him, this bootlicker!" Wu Renzhong laughed and tossed him the car keys: "Go move them!"

The stage sound system in Lianhe Township is excellent, and karaoke is a regular feature. Now that more young people are leaving, more and more people are singing popular Chinese songs.

On stage, a girl was singing "Why Are the Flowers So Red?" Liang Hong was speechless and asked A Zi, "Are all the girls in your village able to sing this well?"

This song was originally sung by a male singer, specifically a tenor. For a female singer, the pitch would need to be four degrees higher than that of a typical soprano to match the key. However, the girl on stage sang it with ease, demonstrating the breadth of her high-pitched vocal range.

Moreover, his voice was very pure. Apart from the occasional unclear pronunciation, which indicated that he had not received professional training, his overall quality was top-notch.

"Pretty much," Zhou Zhi said with a smile, trying to dissuade Liang Hong. "Actually, there are even better ones, like Shama and Azi."

"Then let's keep our skills to ourselves." He Shiqing laughed and took Liang Hong's arm. "My goodness, I thought they were playing a CD the whole time. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have even realized it was a live performance!"

"What's that? It looks pretty fun!" Feng Xueshan asked.

On the field, some people were swinging on large swings, some were dancing around a bonfire with their left feet, and some young people were playing games.

“We have this game too,” Yan Xiao laughed, “It’s called ‘Snake Hugging Eggs.’ Draw a circle on the ground, put a few stones as eggs, and have a person in the middle act as the snake. The person acting as the snake has to protect the stones, while the people around are responsible for trying to steal them.”

Zhou Zhi said, "The person protecting the egg can only support themselves with their hands and feet and use their legs to sweep away the egg thief. If the egg thief is swept away, then it's his turn to become the snake."

"However, this game isn't called 'Snake Hugging Eggs' here, but 'Tiger Protecting Cubs'."

"Why don't you guys have a go? We'll cheer you on!" Feng Xueshan said with a smile.

"No," Zhou Zhi laughed, "This game looks simple, but it's actually very physically demanding. We can't play it like this. Why don't you guys play that one, and we'll cheer you on." (End of Chapter)
