The "national treasure" dug up by migrant workers in Liaoning decades ago was actually 4.5 tons of liquor, which is eye-opening
I wonder if you have ever discovered that the development of many major events is actually just a small matter at the beginning. Their beginnings seem to us are just very ordinary and ordinary, but they start very plainly, but they are the beginning and development of those major events.
We all know that we are an ancient civilization country. We now have a kind of thought of worshiping the ancient times. In fact, it is because those ancestors, those predecessors and pioneers of Chinese civilization, are so dazzling, they are simply a star of our Chinese civilization. However, we younger generations are also creating many miracles to catch up with the footsteps of these seniors. The reason why we have such ideas is that in addition to the history recorded in writing, we will also actively discover the traces of these historical existences, which is archaeology.
But, like fate is joking, many major historical traces are not discovered by archaeologists. These beginnings do look very plain, and the people who found them were not from professional backgrounds, but some ordinary people. For example, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, which are well known to all of us in the Chinese, were first discovered by nearby villagers. The story we are going to tell today is similar to , the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, and has an ordinary beginning. Decades ago, a "national treasure" was dug up by migrant workers in Liaoning. It turned out to be 4.5 tons of liquor, which is really eye-opening.
26 years ago, Lingchuan Winery, located in Liaoning, was making some modifications to the facilities of the entire winery, such as building a new building, so many workers were invited to come here to build a construction. Let me mention here that as the background of the story, Lingchuan Winery is also an old winery, and its inheritance can be traced back to years of the Qing Dynasty.
And here, an ordinary worker, holding his tools to carry out his daily work. His tool is a hoe, so what he has to do is dig the soil. But today, as always, he dug out an unusual thing when he was digging soil when he worked, which left traces in the entire history of Chinese archaeology. It turned out that he dug up a huge wooden container.
Next is the development of archaeological professionals. After investigation and excavation by archaeological team members, there are a total of 4.5 tons of liquor in these containers, and they are still drinkable. This is indeed the "national treasure" in the wine. Because the storage time of these wines was Daoguang 25th year of the Qing Dynasty, which was 1845 AD, which has a long history. Lingchuan Winery also took this precious opportunity to launch the new brand " Daoguang 25 ", which is equivalent to commemorating these bars. It was also praised in the market at that time.
The reason why liquor can be stored for so long is inseparable from its storage technology. In fact, the reason why this batch of liquor can be drunk after a hundred years is two important factors.
First point: The evolution of wine
Wine has rarely had a long history in China, but it has also experienced a lot of changes. Liquor, especially high-level liquor, was actually developed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Before, Chinese wines were mainly low-grade -meter wine and rice wine. This kind of wine in the Ming and Qing dynasties was also called soju. Only with such high-level wine can it have the ability to be stored and not deteriorated.
Second point: evolution of container
After the mystery of high wine being stored for a long time was discovered by the ancients, in the development of wine storage containers, the ancients chose a container that seemed to us as a "black technology". The wine sea is woven with rattan, but it has many secret recipes applied, and the production process is also very complicated. This container can store white wine well, and it will also make the stored white wine more fragrant. In that era when technology was not as developed as it is now, it was indeed a kind of black technology that Jiuhai could have such an effect.
. The wines that are still stored in this container are all made of ancient wines that use ancient methods to adopt this traditional storage method. This kind of wine is rare now, but it is not without them, such as these two.
The first model: Guokang 1935
