　　The liquor from Dongchuan is top-notch—made purely from grain. The locals here sure can drink, and they’re quite particular about their booze. There’s a type called “Stuns the Donkey,” which has a great taste—mellow, rich, and with a powerful aftereffect. Here, I’d especially like to introduce the aged liquor brewed at Laogangou Farm. The owner has the temperament of Tao Yuanming, and his life story is quite similar too. Having seen through the ups and downs of officialdom, he’s devoted himself wholeheartedly to tilling the fields. The liquor he brews isn’t Tao’s chrysanthemum wine, but rather genuine grain alcohol—but it sure tastes special. Don’t overdo it, or you’ll get drunk for sure.
