Taken from "Strange Tales".
There was a rich man surnamed Liu in Changshan, who was obese and especially fond of drinking. He drank an urn of wine alone at a time. He had 300 acres of fertile land, but he always planted millet and not grain; Therefore, although his family is very rich, the wine has never stopped. Once a monk saw him and said that he had a strange illness in his body. Liu Furen replied that he was not sick. The monk asked him, "Haven't you never been drunk after drinking?" He said, "Yes." The monk said, "This is a wine worm." Liu Furen was very surprised, so he asked for **. The monk said, "It's easy. He asked, "What medicine do you need?" The monk said no. Just let him lie on his stomach in the sun and tie his hands and feet; About half a foot from the head put a vessel full of fine wine. After a while, he was very thirsty and wanted to drink very much, but the smell of wine entered his nose, and the fire of hunger became more and more intense, but he could not drink a sip of wine. Suddenly, I felt an itch in my throat, and then something was about to be spit out, all the way to the wine vessel. When I untied the rope, I saw that what I spit out was a red flesh worm about three inches long, wriggling like a swimming fish, with a complete mouth and eyes. Liu Furen thanked the monk in amazement. wanted to reward him, but the monk didn't accept it, and only begged for this worm. Ask him, "What are you using this worm for?" The monk said, "This is alcohol, put this worm in an urn and fill it with water, stir it, and it will become fine wine." Liu Furen asked him to try it, and sure enough, it turned into fine wine. Since then, Liu Furen has hated drinking, his body has gradually lost weight, and his family has become poor day by day. Later, it even reached the point where I couldn't eat.
