Maoxi in July-Maotai Liquor

? When we left Maoxi, Brother Xu insisted that we stop at Maotai for a while and leave after lunch. When passing by Maotai Town, the whole street was full of white wine, and the colorful signs were dazzling. Just a quick glance, I was full of curiosity about this town and wanted to get close to her and see it again.

? Halfway up the mountain, Xu Ge stopped the car. Braving the light rain, we saw the whole picture of Maotai. On the mountain on the other side of Chishui River, rows of gray buildings are arranged neatly. Brother Xu said, look, those houses are Maotai Distillery. I can't believe it. All of them? Yes, they are all from Maotai Distillery. I opened my mouth wide in surprise! Maotai Town and Maotai Distillery in the dense fog are endless. No wonder when passing by, the air poured into the car is full of thick sauce. I am in awe of "national wine"!

After crossing the wet bridge, we arrived at Maotai Town. The four characters "Maotai Town" on the opposite stone wall are extremely eye-catching. On the square stone engraved with letters, the dark lines around the island suddenly added to the inside story of this town. On the right, wine characters in various postures, large and small, seem to tell the massiness and mellow of this town.

? The deeper you go, the stronger the wine tastes.

? The houses in Maotai Town are all in Chinese style. The quaint logs, carved windows and green-brown tiles make Maotai appear calm and restrained in the rain, while the eaves decorated with high-pitched and hollowed-out lines present a smart aesthetic feeling. The buildings retreating outside the window are all Chinese-style buildings, but they are different and have their own flavors.

? The car runs all the way. On one side of the road are beautiful buildings, and on the other side are scattered stone ridges. Those neatly stacked stones are also blue-gray, row after row, a few words, adding a bit of simplicity. However, what is even more surprising is the clusters of green shadows protruding from the edge of the ridge. This is the season when bougainvillea blooms. Deep in the shade, there are crimson, rose red and fiery red ... bit by bit. After the baptism of rain, green is better than before, and red is more eye-catching. Antique and lush flowers can often be combined to create amazing scenery. Just like a beautiful family from a deep house, knowledgeable and refined.

This town belongs to alcohol. The air is always filled with the aftertaste of wine. Take a deep breath, as if you can feel the diffusion of these liquor factors in the body, intoxicate every cell, but wake up the nerves that sleep every day, and then feel the charm of this China liquor. In the ancient town, there are wine shops from door to door, and all kinds of wine signs are hung, and the dazzling yellow label flutters slightly in the rain. The restaurant is also a sub-restaurant, including Sun Family Courtyard, Wu Family Courtyard, Han Family Courtyard, Xiao Family Old House ... Each signboard is an antique log carved into a jar shape. The lamppost is shaped like a wine bottle, the trash can is shaped like a jar, and even the ashtray is a miniature version of the jar. In this way, the bluestone road extends forward, and the sculpture in the center of the road is inextricably linked with liquor. Every step forward seems to span a thousand years.

? The inner courtyard of Impression Ancient Town pushed open the heavy wooden door, and the scene immediately attracted us deeply. There is a shallow pool in the yard, and there are three three-legged wine bottles of different sizes on three "stakes" in the center of the pool. The biggest foot is more than one person's height, and the three feet that have been erected stand firmly on the "stake" to support the huge bottle. The biggest bottle looks big enough for an adult to swim in. Next to it are two smaller wine bottles, the smallest of which is as tall as a child of five or six years old. Three wine bottles are strewn at random, glowing with copper light. A huge Maotai wine bottle hangs obliquely in the air, and the bottom of the bottle is two stories high. The "syrup" in the bottle was poured out and poured into a huge wine bottle. Slowly flow out of the bottle mouth and into the shorter bottle. When the bottle is full, it flows into the smallest bottle and finally into the pool. The children turned right around the "wine" pool and exclaimed, while running to the second floor to look up at how much nectar Maotai bottles could pour out!

? Brother Xu said that if it weren't for the rain, we could still see the night view of Maotai, and there was a light water dance performance. Maotai in the rain makes me linger. Maotai in the night makes me more fascinated!

? When I left, I couldn't help taking a deep breath of this Moutai. If I can, I'd rather indulge in this wine and dream of a thousand years!
