Chapter 248 Subversion of Three Views
The last stop for the trip to China and Europe was Germany. I admire this country, and the leader of the two world wars fought all over the world.
In fact, rigor is a very awesome quality. Whether it is island countries or Germany, they are the only magic weapon to stand strong. Compared with other European countries, Germany's tourism seems to be very low-key, which arouses its curiosity.
It was already evening in Berlin, and the famous Prater Beer Garden is near the Hilton Hotel. I heard that there will be a Bundesliga match tonight, so everyone went out to join in the fun.
When it comes to beer, the first reaction is Germany. For them, beer is not just a drink, but life itself. The pure beer brewing method promulgated 500 years ago, and to the world-famous Oktoberfest, the obsession with beer is like our passion for tea, which has transcended the scope of diet and formed a unique culture.
We may sing: fifty-six ethnic groups, fifty-six flowers.
As beer countries, they must sing: sixteen federal states, sixteen breweries.
Only when you are immersed in the scene can you truly realize the significance of beer to this country. There are beer parks everywhere, as if as soon as the sun shows up, people flock to enjoy nature and beer.
Walking on the streets, beer can be seen everywhere, whether in the city center or in the secluded streets. Soon we came to the park, known as the largest beer garden, with 600 seats, and we could drink beer and watch football games with hundreds of people in the shade of trees.
The lively atmosphere filled the entire park. The singing and dancing performances were performed in traditional Bavarian costumes on the stage. The fat waiter and aunt quickly walked between the wine tables with a bunch of beer. The waiter and uncle handsomely followed the freshly brewed beer...
The creamy and delicate beer foam is filled with rich and mellow beer, and a large plate of German roast pork elbow that you can never finish. Everyone drinks in big gulp, eats meat in large chunks, chats and have fun, and enjoys life.
At this moment, Johnson's stereotype of the Germans was completely subverted, and the bullshit, conservative, indifferent, and calm all disappeared. Some were beers holding ten glasses of beer in their hands and crossing the table, singing and dancing to the table with the inspiration of music, and those couples who were so confused that they kissed passionately in the crowd...
The alcohol can be messy,
Even the German Chariot lost its chain at a critical moment!
Eating meat with big mouthfuls is a serious matter. In front of you are several large plates of big pig's trotters with crispy outside and tender inside, and with potato meatballs to reconcile the greasy sauerkraut, which is definitely a blessing for carnivore.
What Johnson is most interested in is the famous Bavarian white sausage, which is named for its white appearance. According to legend, it was born by pure accident. In the 19th century, a restaurant owner was planning to fry sausages but happened to be insufficient casings, so he had to use pig intestines to make casings.
In order to avoid frying and causing the sausage to explode, boiling was adopted. This forced innovation became popular all over the world soon after. The casings could not be eaten, so cut them open and dip them in mustard.
It must be paired with kink bread, known as national bread, a kind of alkaline water bread. There was once a saying that describes the Germans: potatoes are the body, beer is the spirit, and thick bread represents the soul.
A bite is different from the soft bread I remember. The basic ingredients here are yeast, flour, salt and water. This 8-shaped kink bread has only two flavors of sweet and salt. Sweet ones are often eaten on certain days. What you see in the bakery every day is salty bread sprinkled with pepper and salt.
Eat bread with white intestine and drink beer with elbows. This is how locals eat it.
It seems simple and crude, but it actually makes sense. Because this alkaline bread can neutralize the acidity of beer, and has a quenching effect, ensuring that the more you eat it, the more you feel excited.
Many couples next to them also have various heart-shaped gingerbread hanging around their necks, decorated with various local love words. The livestock point directly writes what I love you, and the literary and artistic pretense means that my heart is lost to you.
Johnson curled his lips and said, "Who said Germans are not romantic?"
I quickly learned two words, hallo and prost.hallo was saying hello, more and more people were coming, and I had already started to play the table. Especially when I met the blond and blue-eyed tomboys, I sat down without saying a word, raised my glass of wine enthusiastically, and said prost directly, and started to cheer.
Then repeat several actions: stand up and toast - stand on the stool toast - stand on the table toast...
There were a few silly boys next to him. When they saw the beautiful woman's hormones were full of, they challenged a mass. They all stood on the table and drank 1 liter of beer in one breath. Everyone was not worried about the big deal when they watched the fun, and cheered and applauded them.
Grilled chicken, grilled fish, pretzels, grilled sausages, grilled pork elbows... Although it is not exquisite food, it is all the most delicious dishes to serve, and there are also super large heart-shaped gingerbreads, which ensure that you can eat until you are full and vomit!
Johnson hasn't felt this way for a long time. Hundreds of people have had fun together, just like watching a celebrity concert. The atmosphere is getting hotter and hotter, and I experience the long-lost impulse.
These are just small scenes. I heard that the Oktoberfest in October is a big battle. Six million alcoholics around the world are having fun together, and it’s terrible to think about it.
Locals wear traditional clothing, and men wear lederhosen, leather overalls, usually with traditional embroidery, and a complete outfit also includes a plaid shirt, sweater and socks that wrap their legs.
The girls' suit is called dirndl, with low-cut shirts and skirt combinations, and even the position of the apron belt is particular. It is tied to the right to indicate not available. It is tied to the left to be single, allowing you to hook up.
Munich, with a population of 1 million, has more than 3,000 beer halls that are packed every day. Almost everyone who steps into the tavern orders at least half a liter of beer to serve, and of course the most common order is one liter.
One liter can be said to be a unit of measurement in Munich and the entire Bavaria. There is also a proverb in the local area: Drink one liter a day, and health is as good as a god.
In ancient times, some high-ranking officials and nobles sat on wooden benches wearing leather pants, and then began to drink fresh beer. They sat on the stool for half an hour. When they got up, the wooden board must be able to stick to the leather pants to prove that it was a good beer. On the contrary, it means that the concentration of this beer is too low and they are not qualified to be a real good beer.
This is also the birthplace of crafts. Choose the most expensive riegele, known as the craftsman, and has a history of more than 600 years. The earliest brewing family in mainland Europe and the heirs have been passed down to the 27th generation.
Sucking a sip of hops is as soft as eating marshmallows, and licking the ice cream melting on the cone. It is delicate and silky, and it is not as rough and astringent as the foam of ordinary beer.
Looking at the Germanic people around me who were indulging in vain, I finally understood why this country is more awesome than the Japanese. Although they work rigorously, they can vent their emotions after get off work every day.
