The first time I drink a rod wine, it can be described as an unexpected, and it can be described by the word "逅" in the travel manual.

In a village in Wudu District, Longnan City, a young man with a smile in his eyes lalad his corner of his clothes and attracted me to a earth altar in the corner of the house. Several boys around there with a smile from the altar with a wheat tube, sent to me, and motioned to suck. I hesitated a sip, sweet, refreshing, and curiously. It turned out that there was a clear liquid in the altar. This is the pole wine.

The earliest rod wine is first called bee sugar wine, which is naturally related to honey in the wine.

"The Book of Songs · July" wrote: "Dipping dates in August, gained rice in October. To this end, wine and browsee." Based on this, as early as three thousand years ago, the ancestors used the fruits of agricultural and forestry. The brewed wine is an indispensable daily necessities such as sacrifice and life.

Bee sugar wine, the method of brewing began at the Zhou You Palace Banquet in 780 BC in the Western Zhou Dynasty. The so -called "ape wine" is the wine made by the wolf monkey. This is actually the remaining fruit or picking honey of the wolf monkeys to eat for a while, and it is fermented over time.

It is said that Su Dongpo tried bee sugar wine.

According to legend, Su Dongpo's first bee sugar wine was brewed. Please ask friends and relatives to drink "drinking the violent", which means that everyone can drink diarrhea.

Fortunately, when trying bee sugar wine again, Su Shi "eat a stingy, long one wisdom", and improved some methods. Finally, he personally brewed bee sugar wine that could be "drunk". The surgery has been new, and the spirit of jade liquid has been produced. Welcome to Mo Dao, there is no good thing, three cups of honey wine.

Of course, today's rod wine is very different from Su Shi's brewing method, and the corresponding medicinal functions and nutritional value have also changed a lot.

The usual method of brewing of rod wine is: first fry the five -color grain such as green crickets, oats, buckwheats, wheat, mi gravis, corn, etc., mixed together, put them in a large iron pot, and then add the sweet one. The spring water is cooked, and after drying, add the self -made can fermented wine, and it is seal and fermented in the wine tank.

There are two types of wine songs. One is the wine song made of plants picked in the mountains and mixed with wheat bran. Because the fermentation is slow, it usually takes six months, which is called a slow song; the other is purchased on the market. Wine songs, three months, are called fast song. The former is beautiful and sweet, with a long aftertaste; the latter is strong and refreshing.

The name of the "Rod Wine" comes from its drinking method. Looking at four or five people around a altar, drumming the cheeks, sucking the liquor from the hollow rod, making people can't help it.

Take out the wine meal from the wine tank, put it into the mil -shaped crock, add the mountain spring water, and place it on the side of the fire pond. This rod is a stalk of a hollow plant in the mountains. It is used for drinking, drinking water, and can also be used to blow fire. After the heat, the family, friends, and guests sat around the fire pond, inserted into the jar with a rod of about two feet long, add some hot water to drink after drinking. The taste is light. There are people who drink a can, and there are no guests to drink a can.

The rod wine has the effects of nourishing the stomach, promoting blood circulation, and spleen. It has a significant improvement in insomnia, forgetfulness, mental weakness, and body aging; especially for chronic gastrointestinal diseases, chronic bronchitis, and asthma, and have good effects.

Why is the rod wine drinking sweet and delicate? Its mystery comes from honey. After the large tank of the wine is brushed, the raw materials can be installed after the honey. After sealing it with a round wooden board or plastic, the aroma of the honey penetrates into a little bit during the long fermentation process.

The most interesting thing is that the locals have the practice of cooking wine. If the taste of wine is not mellow, especially with sour taste, the owner will be a little frowning, because it indicates that he is not lucky this year, and you have to pay attention to things and be careful everywhere.
