Mr. Liang, personnel director, suffers from hepatic adipose infiltration. Doctors suggest he drink vinegar to save his life. Therefore, vinegar has been part of his meals both in the morning and in the evening; even at dinner parties, he drinks vinegar instead of wine.
Since Mr. Liang is in a key position, he is frequently pursued by those who long for a promotion. “Director, why do you like vinegar so much?” Once at a dinner party, several subordinates wondered aloud. “I enjoy its flavor.” Mr. Liang was ashamed of confessing his own ailment. Assuming that Mr. Liang was leading a trend, all subordinates poured away Wuliangye wine and refilled their glasses with vinegar. “Come on, director. Cheers!” They extended a toast in unison. Since then, the trend of drinking vinegar has begun in the whole county. Vinegar is universally drunk over dinners, so much so that it has been out of stock at stores.
One day a low-ranking official came around while Mr. Liang was not at home. When Mrs. Liang opened the door, the visitor rediculously presented a few bottles of vinegar. “Here is 100-year-old vinegar from Shanxi. Do me a favor, please.”
Mrs. Liang turned red; then her face got pale. “Out you go!” She flew into a rage.
Later, the whole county turns pale at the mention of the word “vinegar”.作者: 尚舟 时间: 2021-9-28 14:37
