In the thirties and forties, the literati living in Qingdao left behind a number of natural and vivid "bitter dew texts".
January 21, 1936, the day before Chinese New Year's Eve. Huang Jiyu, a professor at National Shandong University, a famous mathematician and educator, invited Lao She, Zhao Shaohou, Deng Zhongchun and other colleagues from Shandong University to have dinner at home and drink bitter dew wine. Huang Jiyu recorded in his diary: "Moving food is more than the study, and the dining room is the beacon fire, the cattle and sheep are willing, the words of the same heart, the wine is not drunk, the wine is not thin, and the harmony ......is harmless."”
In the winter of 1936, one evening, the weather was overcast, the cold wind was rising, and the snow was coming. Lao She, a famous writer living in Qingdao, invited Tai Jingnong, Ye Shisun, Deng Zhongchun and other professors and friends from National Shandong University to a newly opened mutton restaurant on Pingdu Road for dinner. ”
On the evening of April 10, 1937, Lao She invited Du Yu, Meng Chao, Yang Feng, Shi Min and other friends to a restaurant near Beiping Road in Qingdao Pichai Courtyard to eat Chaotian pot. ”
In 1947, Tai Jingnong, a writer and critic who had taught at National Shandong University, received a gift from a friend in Taiwan - two bottles of bitter dew. Seeing the life of things, he recalled the scene when he was a guest in Qingdao more than ten years ago: "On the street where there are no cars, more than one generation of small restaurants have been opened, although all the equipment is simple, but it is not without fame, the lights are bright upstairs, the water is dim, according to the thick black wine in the wine bowl in front of everyone, although the northeast wind outside has a whistle, we are drunk." ”
This "thick black wine" is bitter dew, and the "dim water vapor" is the heat produced by the heating of bitter dew wine.
In his later years, Tai Jingnong wrote "Me and Lao She and Wine", recalling the years of living in Qingdao, the friendship with Lao She, and the bitter old wine that he never forgot - "We often eat restaurants with a few friends and drink old wine, yellow, like Shaoxing's bamboo leaf green, and a kind of purple-black, bitter and slightly sweet." It is said that it is the same raw material as the old wine, so it is called bitter old wine, and the taste is very good, not under Shaoxing wine. Until now, when I think of the old brother, I think of bitter old wine. ”
