Chapter 150: Ancient Capital of Snow Country
On the second day after returning home, no one got up early.Because the previous day's journey was too rushed, especially Sun Ping and Guo Yi took time to go to Kyoto, so the two older boys slept until lunch time and didn't get up.And if it wasn't for Sun Tao who went to the bedroom of the two of them to beat and kick, it is probably possible for the two of them to sleep until dinner.Because Aunt Guo didn't have the energy to prepare lunch, everyone's lunch was a takeaway ordered by Aunt Guo, followed by some dim sum left over in Japan.Fortunately, everyone was not too picky, and they finished their lunch quite happily.
After lunch, Guo Yi accompanied Father Sun to play Go in the garden, Aunt Guo packed up the luggage left in the living room the day before, and Sun Ping played somatosensory games with Sun Tao.Sun Ping obviously underestimated the somatosensory game, and was actually beaten by Sun Tao in the somatosensory tennis (that is, he didn't score any points in a game).
Just when everyone laughed at such a miserable result, the phone call from the courier company finally solved Sun Ping's siege.Sun Ping and his colleagues sent back a total of four packages in Japan, among which the ones from Hokkaido and Tokyo have already arrived, leaving only the ones from Sun Ping and Guo Yi in Kyoto, and the two packages from Osaka.
Sun Ping, who decided to escape everyone's ridicule temporarily, took the initiative to go to the doorman to check the package, but it turned out that the batch of sake he and Guo Yi bought in Kyoto arrived first.Sun Ping asked the property management of the community to help deliver the wine to the elevator, and then Sun Ping moved two large boxes of sake home by himself.
"Hey, I thought you two went to Kyoto in a hurry? So you two bought a batch of wine and came back?"
Father Sun has always liked to have a drink or two.However, the alcohol content in China is too high, so Father Sun was strictly ordered by Aunt Guo to only drink red wine.This time I went to Japan to play around, and found that the alcohol content of Japanese sake is not particularly high.It's a pity that Father Sun was embarrassed to buy wine, but unexpectedly his son bought a batch of sake from Japan.This made Father Sun feel better immediately, and came over to help unpack the package.
"Hey, so the sake we bought at Fushimi Inari Shrine has arrived?" Guo Yi also came over to intervene, "Dad, Fushimi Inari is the most famous sake producing area in Japan. Although the sake we bought here is not There are famous brands like Chrysanthemum Authentic, but they are all well-known wineries in the local area. Moreover, the rice and spring water used for wine making are local specialties, and the wine cellars for wine making are said to be hundreds of years old. At that time, Sun and I When Ping went to place an order, the owner of the winery was still not happy."
"Why are you not happy? If you have money, don't you want to make money?"
Although Aunt Guo objected to Dad Sun's drinking, she also knew that it was better to be quiet than to be blocked.Therefore, on the premise of ensuring the health of Father Sun, he is still allowed to drink some low-alcohol alcohol appropriately.The alcohol content of sake is not high, and it is brewed from grain, so drinking in moderation will not cause much damage to health.So Aunt Guo just turned a blind eye to this batch of wine, and then very appropriately participated in everyone's discussion.
"Isn't it because the wine produced by their winery is limited every year, and we ordered such a large number of them, they are worried that some other old customers will not be able to order." Guo Yi explained.
In many places in Japan, local time-honored brands are unwilling to sell too many goods to outside merchants, for fear that they will not be able to meet the needs of local old customers.They knew very well that their living environment was local people rather than outsiders, and their production capacity could only meet the needs of the local people, so Sun Ping and Guo Yi really spent a lot of effort to convince the owner of the winery.In the end, the owner of the winery gave Sun Ping and Guo Yi all the shares they used to deal with foreign merchants. Although Sun Ping and Guo Yi were still not satisfied, it was not bad anyway.
There are quite a few utility rooms in the Sun family, and Father Sun converted one of them into a wine storage room.The original windows in the room had been blocked and two special exhaust fans had been installed.Exhaust fans keep the air circulating in the room without letting in outside air and light.At the same time, a humidistat is installed in the room, which controls the humidity very strictly.Then there are several refrigerators.Because different red wines have different requirements for storage temperature.Those that need to be stored at low temperature are naturally placed in the refrigerator, and those that do not need to be stored at low temperature are quietly placed on the wine rack.
Because Father Sun has a habit of collecting wine, Father Sun generally does not allow people to enter this room.This time, because he wanted to put sake in, Father Sun opened the door on purpose.Dim lights are used in the room, and the lights do not directly shine on the wine.It seems that Father Sun has spent a lot of effort in arranging this wine storage room.
After everyone put the wine in, Sun Tao felt a little sleepy, so Aunt Guo took Sun Tao to take a nap.Guo Yi took over Aunt Guo's work and continued to pack the luggage.Father Sun, who was not playing chess, returned to his study with a pot of tea and started to deal with official business.And Sun Ping also returned to the study on the second floor, and began to check the three books he wrote in Japan.
These three books are the three works of Yasunari Kawabata on the earth plane that won the Nobel Prize for Literature: "Snow Country", "Ancient Capital" and "Thousand Feather Cranes".Although the stories in these three books are just romance novels, under the poetic and picturesque pen of Yasunari Kawabata, the stories are full of oriental Zen.That kind of fate and freehand blankness left the so-called oriental mysticism and agnosticism for all three articles. This mysterious feeling from the East made the Western critics collectively climax.
In Sun Ping's early submissions, many people questioned how Sun Ping's oriental writing style came about.But after this trip to Japan, after Sun Ping submitted the three novels of the Oriental School to the "Mother Tongue" magazine, there was no refutation.I got inspiration during my travels in Japan, and then wrote three authentic oriental novels. Do you have any opinions?For such an author who doesn't know what to do, literary critics will naturally start writing to ridicule him for his lack of inspiration and poor writing, and almost directly say, why do you still stay in the circle of writers and show shame if your ancestors didn't reward you with food?
What's more, Sun Ping's two novellas and one short story were really amazing, not only the editors of the fiction department were overwhelmed by them, but even the prose and poetry departments were mesmerized.An editor of the prose department even insisted that Sun Ping's short story "Thousand Feathered Cranes" was a prose poem "with his eyes open and talking nonsense".This almost did not cause a big melee among the three departments of the novel department, the prose department and the poetry department, and finally it was decided by the editor-in-chief to be a short story.
In order to publish these three novels by Sun Ping, the new issue of "Mother Tongue" has devoted almost half of its space.For this reason, the works of many authors were either temporarily taken down to the supplement, or were postponed for publication.Regarding the actions of the "Mother Tongue" magazine, these small or unknown authors who were taken down naturally dare not speak out, but there is still some resentment towards Sun Ping.
When the new issue of "Mother Tongue" was not distributed nationwide, these authors put on vests and made sour remarks in some literary forums or circles.Fortunately, most literary critics are familiar with Sun Ping's writing style, knowing that the only possibility for "Mother Tongue" magazine to make such a big move is that Sun Ping's contribution is really amazing.As a result, the big hands in the comment circle were not mobilized for the time being, but a few little people who didn't know how deep they were criticized Sun Ping in some small newspapers and periodicals.Naturally, such small newspapers could not reach Sun Ping, and the literature and art circles in Jiangnan Province protected Sun Ping tightly from top to bottom.So this kind of sour words can only be circulated in some marginal provinces.
On the day when "Mother Tongue" was published, many critics got up and went to the newsstand downstairs to grab a copy.When they saw a photo of a winter village on the cover this time, and saw the two novels "Snow Country" and "Ancient Capital" recommended on the cover, these reviewers knew that Sun Ping had completely won the magazine's admiration this time.And when they read the two novellas, they were surprised by Sun Ping's writing and didn't know what to say.
In particular, only about half of the pages of "Snow Country" and "Ancient Capital" were published in the magazine, and the rest of the stories made the critics extremely anxious.Some acquainted critics simply called their acquaintances with the editors of the "Mother Tongue" magazine, saying that they were too unkind.And under their persecution, they finally knew that Pioneer Literature Publishing House would publish Sun Ping's collection of novels "Snow Country Ancient Capital" two months later. The full version of Snow Country and Ancient Capital.
After "Mother Tongue" published the three novels of Sun Ping's trip to Japan, the entire Aurora literary critic circle was shocked.You must know that everyone's positioning of Sun Ping is still a "young writer". Unexpectedly, these three novels of his immediately showed his sophisticated writing style.If the proficiency of the writing style can still be tempered, then the indifferent and detached thoughts with a strong sense of Zen in the text are not something young writers can comprehend.Many commentators lamented that others just received a bowl of rice from the patriarch, but Sun Ping was given a table of noodles from the patriarch, which was still first-class.
Especially the Kingdom of Aurora, Japan, and South Korea are separated by a narrow strip of water, and these three novels have a great connection with Japan, so "Mother Tongue" magazine quickly reached an agreement with Japan's "Wenyichunqiu", and the three novels were published in Japan. The translated version appeared in "The Spring and Autumn Period of Literature and Art" in the following month.As the birthplace of oriental literature, the Japanese love these three novels by Sun Ping like crazy.Especially after learning that Sun Ping wrote a high-quality novel after traveling in Japan for two weeks, the Japan Tourism Agency even planned to invite Sun Ping to be the country's tourism ambassador.Many critics believe that these three novels alone, not to mention the Japanese Cherry Blossom Literary Award, or even the Shakespeare Literary Award or the Qu Yuan Literary Award are enough.
However, rumors about Sun Ping winning the award have been circulating for a while, because Sun Ping has suppressed the rumors.In any case, the literary circle is still a place that pays attention to seniority.Regardless of whether Sun Ping's strength has been reached, but his reputation is not enough.In particular, the Shakespeare Prize for Literature is not the Nobel Prize for Literature. They are more interested in Western-style novels, and they are not as curious about the Oriental literary circle as the Nobel Prize.
So Sun Ping doesn't want to build momentum right now. If he really wants to target the Shakespeare Prize for Literature, Sun Ping has a lot of Western masterpieces here.He can completely write a book a quarter to make the Shakespeare Prize jury love and hate him, but at this time he focuses on the East.After all, this is his base camp, so let's talk about it first.
After lunch, Guo Yi accompanied Father Sun to play Go in the garden, Aunt Guo packed up the luggage left in the living room the day before, and Sun Ping played somatosensory games with Sun Tao.Sun Ping obviously underestimated the somatosensory game, and was actually beaten by Sun Tao in the somatosensory tennis (that is, he didn't score any points in a game).
