There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Zhou Xiaozheng took Zhang Guoqing into the kitchen without incident, and sat down beside the old lady. He said to his wife, Shanshan, Xiaowu is back too. We can prepare dinner.

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and told Zhang Guoqing, Xiao Wu, serve the wine quickly, pour it for me and your Uncle Dashan. You juniors will accompany your mother and the others to drink wine.

Hey, I got it. Mom, you and Aunt Cheng sit down quickly, don't eat the rice, you want the wine. Zhang Guoqing replied. Without stopping, he poured white wine for Zhou Xiaozheng and the others, and handed a bottle of white wine to Lin Lishan.

Why not the red wine last time? Do you still have this?

White wine is suitable for seafood. Zhou Xiaozheng said to her, seeing her nodding, he curled the corners of his lips. He guessed she still didn't understand.

Zhao Dashan looked at the wine bottle in Lin Lishan's hand cheerfully, Xiao Wu prepared it properly, even this foreign thing. Hey, pour it for the two of us too, I haven't tasted it yet.

Zhang Guoqing took out another bottle of wine and handed it to him, Uncle, here's another bottle, drink more if you like. This wine is just to drink fresh, it's not as good as fruit wine, the alcohol content is low, I heard it is a high-end old Maozi.

Zhao Dashan took it curiously, and saw that it was all in Russian, These old men's things are strange in Xili. Do you think that wine is still wine if it is not strong? Last year I went to the provincial capital for a meeting, and the people in the office prepared it for me. I bought something foreign, guess what? Brown bread and milk for dessert.

At that time, a veteran cadre was not happy, saying how to eat this dark food. A colleague next to me said that this is foreign, don't look down upon it, it's quite expensive. Someone next to him continued with a sentence. He said that capital/capitalism/ownership/righteousness/country/family just can’t do it, and it’s not as good as our society/society/ism. We all eat white noodles, but others are so poor that they eat black bread. I still think it's a good thing, which is pitiful enough. After the comrade finished speaking, there was silence in the meeting room. Those who were a little bit knowledgeable did not dare to laugh, and those who were not a little bit nodded.

As soon as Zhao Dashan finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter. Zhao Yuanyuan said cheerfully: I have eaten that black bread, and it tastes different from our cakes.

Mrs. Zhou narrowed her eyes and said, That should be improved whole-wheat black bread. In the past, black bread was the staple food of Big Brother, just like our steamed buns. The black bread back then was wheat bran that was finely ground. Mixed together. The taste is rancid, just like that, they can't eat it.

In the past, the soldiers of the Soviet Union were only four taels to five taels a day, and when the supply was not smooth, they would only be five taels for two days. The top officials/officials get the best treatment, that is, they are served with pickled cucumbers and occasionally with luncheon meat. When you go to a meeting in the provincial capital, the clerk must buy whole-grain black bread, which means the same thing as our all-round steamed bread.

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded after hearing this, and said: Now the conditions over there are better than ours, and we will get better and better in the future. Come on, let's eat while it's hot. Yuanyuan, Hongbing, you brothers and sisters, eat more, it's not enough Burn again.

Zhou Xiao was setting the plate in front of everyone, wiped his hands with the handkerchief beside him, grabbed the crab with his hand and put it on the plate, wiped his hands with a white towel before sitting down.

Zhao Yuanyuan secretly clicked her tongue when she saw it. She is really particular about Uncle Zhou, and Zhou Jiao really follows her father. It's no wonder that when she usually drinks tea, she has to pour water first, and drink it after soaking it for the second time. This father and daughter are really hypocritical.

She looked at the few handkerchiefs on the edge of the table, which seemed to be for everyone to wipe their hands after eating seafood. Fortunately, she didn't ask just now. She paid close attention to everyone again, only to realize that Zhang Guoqing and Lin Lishan were also like Uncle Zhou. They are very particular about their meals, and they are very natural. You can't notice it if you don't pay attention.

Zhou Xiaozheng noticed that Zhao Yuanyuan was looking at everyone with small eyes all the time, and asked puzzledly: What's wrong with Yuanyuan? Do you want to eat something and don't have the nerve to say it? You said uncle tried to find out.

Zhao Yuanyuan smirked a few times, rubbed her nose and smiled, No, it's all my favorite. Uncle, I found that drinking foreign wine is very particular. Xiaowu poured a little of this small cup, thinking he was reluctant, I watched my aunt shake the cup, only to realize that there is too much to shake, is there a saying here?

Everyone laughed when they heard the words. This little girl has always been carefree, but she pays attention to details.

Zhou Xiaozheng explained to her with a smile: There is nothing to pay attention to, we can drink to our own satisfaction. In foreign countries, there is a dining etiquette. They drink red wine and pour it into the third of the wine glass. This is for the convenience of red wine and wine. The air is in contact with the glass, and the glass is lightly mixed to sober up. They drink red wine and taste it in small sips. This is different from our countrymen. Our northerners drink in large gulps, while southerners drink in small sips. When you go to the shepherd’s house on the grassland, you can dry If you don’t want to drink, you have to turn the glass upside down, otherwise you will be allowed to drink all the time.”

Uncle, you are amazing and know a lot. Zhao Yuanyuan looked at him adoringly.

Zhou Xiaozheng waved his hand and chuckled, Your dad understands all this. He just didn't tell you. You have to read more books when you have nothing to do. Only a scholar can know the world's affairs. Many etiquettes are mentioned in the book, not only etiquette, There are still many issues worthy of taste and understanding. When it comes to dining etiquette, we Chinese people are the most particular. With thousands of years of history, etiquette has been simplified from ancient times to the present, and some foreign magazines have also mentioned the whole The customs of the world. Reading more books can cultivate temperament and broaden horizons.

Zhao Yuanyuan looked at him sadly, and said sadly: Uncle, I get a headache when I read books, and what I fear most is that Jiaojiao reads those ancient Chinese, and I run away when I see her reading books. Oh, when I talk about reading books , My head started hurting again.

Hehe... Read books and read the original books in ancient Chinese. Jiaojiao has done a good job of this. You try to read it as a novel magazine. You will find that if you can learn it, you will have a lot of insights.

There is a simple way to read ancient Chinese. The most correct way to read ancient texts carefully is to first learn Three Character Classics and Thousand Character Classics, then read Guanzhi of Ancient Prose, then start with Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, then read Historical Records, and start to read slowly.

Three Character Classic and Thousand Character Classic are the foundation, Guwen Guanzhi is a must-read, Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching is thought-provoking, Historical Records sees through history and understands history, basically after reading five books, you will think Mature, have a clear outlook on life, and see your future path clearly.

There is no way to deal with headaches, good medicine is bitter medicine, it would be strange if everyone loves to watch it. Do you know what is the largest circulation in the world? Foreign bibles, basically everyone abroad has a copy, and the second one is Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching. There are still people abroad who specialize in studying this book, which shows that it is a good book. We have two books, Laozi's Tao De Jing and Sun Wu's Sun Tzu's Art of War, which are well-known all over the world, and many countries specialize in studying these two books. Do you say you can see it or not? Zhou Xiaozheng watched him speak more and more, and Zhao Yuanyuan, who opened his mouth wider, asked amusedly.
