Because we took a fork in the road at Qingkengba, we took an old road. Although the road surface is smooth, the slope is high and dangerous. The speed limit is15km in many places. We walked another 50 kilometers and arrived at our destination in the evening.
There are many small shops in the street that specialize in bulk Moutai cellar wine, and more than a dozen jars are arranged neatly, with prices ranging from 2.3 yuan to 50 yuan per catty.
When you come to the hometown of Moutai, you must taste it. At dinner, the proprietress ordered one or two Maotai Sanjiu for one yuan. How does it taste? I can't say it here. Whether it is true or not is another matter.
On the morning of the 20th, from Renhuai to Chishui City, the whole day, about 200 kilometers, was basically accompanied by Chishui River.
Think that year, after the Zunyi meeting, Mao Zedong led the Red Army to cross Chishui for four times, and it was erratic, leaving the main force of the Kuomintang to continue northward. How wise is it? Imagine that Chiang Kai-shek couldn't understand the movement of the Red Army at that time, bald and frowning. He couldn't help being speechless.
Only a dozen kilometers away from Renhuai City, it is the origin of Moutai-Maotai Town. The archway of Zhenkou is not particularly high, but it is a striking "national wine town". There are many wineries inside and outside the town, and the streets are full of distiller's grains. The Maotai Distillery, which is really several hundred yuan per catty, has no pavement.
Moutai is brewed with sorghum and water from Chishui River. 50-degree Moutai, half of which is water from Chishui River. Chishui River is precious enough.
I don't know how far I walked, but a stone tablet appeared on the roadside, which read "International Rock Climbing and Cave Exploration Base". On the other side of the steep cliff, several dark caves opened their mouths, and the sound of waterfalls hitting the riverbed could be heard far away. Several houses in the middle of the river were pushed around at will, and the river suddenly fell and roared. I didn't expect Chishui River to be so grumpy. I walked carefully to the river and took some photos. I don't know where to go, but on the cliff on the other side of the river, three bright red characters "Wine River" are engraved. There is an inscription on the roadside here, saying that these words were written by a brewing group. Each character is about 40 meters long and wide, and the carving depth is 1.8 to 2.2 meters, creating many Guinness world records.
Spectacular.
Pass through Xishui County and Hulu City, and arrive at Chishui City at 7: 30 pm.
