Absinthe was banned in Europe at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. It must not be circulated on the market because this kind of wine is too overbearing!
The thujone in wormwood can cause hallucinations in humans. Although this kind of wine is not considered a drug and is not very addictive, its harm is not small!
Because the human mind cannot control the hallucinations it produces. It may be a very beautiful picture of heaven, or it may be a terrifying scene of hell. No one can control his own dreams, so let alone control the illusion!
The same absinthe will have different reactions in different people. Van Gogh would cut off his own ears in hallucinations, and a Swiss farmer would kill his own family members in hallucinations!
More artists will create great works of art in hallucinations, and of course some people will feel the original desires of human beings such as wine, sex, wealth, etc. in this hallucination!
There were so many crimes caused by absinthe that European countries had no choice but to declare it a ban on alcohol!
Unfortunately, the more banned it is, the more curious people become. This kind of wine has always been circulated in small circles in Europe, and illegal brewing has been banned repeatedly!
Absinthe was not truly legal until after World War II. At that time, the development of chemical technology allowed humans to control the thujone content in absinthe!
Industrially produced absinthe can reduce the thujone content to a safe range while retaining its taste!
In Xiao Letian's previous life, absinthe was not popular in China, but in the West it was already a common alcoholic drink that could be purchased in supermarkets!
The hallucinogenic function of this kind of wine has been completely abolished by the magic hands of the modern chemical industry!
Is there still a small amount of original craft absinthe circulating on the underground black market? This is unknown!
Cai Bixia, who endured the dizziness, took a sip of the wonton soup with high soup stock. At this time, Ermao knocked on the door and walked in, "General Cai, are you feeling better? There is really no need for you to be upset today. Who dares to stop you if you want to leave?" "
Er Mao placed the information just sent from the insider in front of Cai Bixia, then picked up a spoon and poured himself a bowl of wontons from the large porcelain basin!
The paper-skin wontons are so small that they float in the clear soup like swallows, and the meat filling inside can be seen through the outer skin!
After taking two sips of the soup, Ermao felt comfortable and said, "Here's some chili oil to improve the flavor! It's hard to eat raw food all day!"
While looking at the chaotic information at the banquet after they left, Cai Bixia said, "Of course they won't dare to stop me if I leave, but I have seen too many perverts like Yi Kuang!"
"If you don't hit him and it hurts him, or if you hit him and you scare him, this scoundrel will keep pestering you!"
"It's better to imprint fear on him for the first time when we meet, and we will save a lot of trouble in the future!"
"Remember what I said, after Yi Kuang wakes up from the wine... let's send someone to deliver four bottles of absinthe the day after tomorrow! Tell him the truth, if he wants to get involved with me, Cai Bixia, he must first practice his drinking. !”
"Whenever he can drink four bottles of absinthe in one sitting, I will let him go to bed!"
Ermao smiled angrily and said, "How is this possible? Absinthe is sold by the glass in Europe. Even a good drinker can't have more than one bottle at a meal. You still have four bottles? You're really going to die!"
"Whatever, if you want to take advantage of me, then just risk your life!"
After each person drank a small bowl of wontons, Cai Bixia pointed at the small print on the information and said, "Prince Lao Li, why do you keep making thousands of salutes in your hallucinations? What kind of willingness is this?"
Er Mao tilted his head and thought for a long time, "I don't know the specific situation, but the character of Prince Li Shiduo is very weak, even to the point of being bullied!"
"There is a joke. When Ande Hai was so powerful, he once again met Shi Duo face to face in the palace. Of course, as a eunuch, Ande Hai had to kowtow to the prince!"
"But I didn't expect that Shiduo would actually kneel down and kowtow to Ande Hai... as a return gift!"
"Ah? There is also this matter..."
The etiquette among the bannermen in the late Qing Dynasty was very complicated, including kissing, stroking the temples, holding hands and greetings, touching shoulders, squatting in greetings, kowtowing... Different statuses have different etiquette!
If two people are of equal rank, then one can salute and the other can return half a salute or not return the salute at all, but if they are of equal status, it will be very lively.
If you give me a thousand words, he must also give a thousand words. If you kowtow, he must also kowtow. Everyone must be respectful and their posture must be standard!
It stands to reason that it is not natural for the eunuch to kowtow to the prince? But Shi Duo was so cautious. He didn't dare to offend the eunuch An Dehai when he saw him.
The other party kowtowed, but he actually kowtowed back again according to the etiquette of ordinary people!
This incident has become a joke among the Eight Banners Manchus. Prince Li's cowardice can be said to be well known to everyone!
Unexpectedly, all this became the prince's heartache. Under the torture of absinthe, this heartache suddenly led him into the embarrassing situation of the past!
Cai Bixia nodded, "I see, then this Yixuan's hallucination is because he is afraid of his wife?"
"That's natural. Don't you think about who his Fujin belongs to? Wanzhen is the biological sister of the Empress Dowager Cixi. Before Yizhen prepared to get married, how many good girls from other families were waiting for this good husband!"
"As a result, Cixi blew her pillow in front of Xianfeng and forced the emperor to decree that his sister should marry Yixuan, thereby dragging Prince Chun into his own faction!"
"Although Yixuan is not as cowardly as Shiduo, he is still very kind in nature. He has a gentle personality but is naturally a little henpecked!"
"Interesting, really interesting..." Cai Bixia finally pointed to Yi Xin's name and said, "I can't understand Guiziliu's reaction. Why did a teacher suddenly appear?"
"Hey! This is a real secret. If it weren't for the old people in the Forbidden City, they wouldn't know what happened back then!"
"Du Shoutian was originally the first teacher of many princes. The late emperor and Prince Gong all learned the Three-Character Classic, Hundred Family Surnames, Thousand-Character Classic, etc. from him!"
"This Du Shoutian is very strict. He doesn't show any sympathy because he is a Han official. He will hit him when he needs to be beaten, and reprimand him when he needs to be scolded!"
"Emperor Daoguang also supported him, so many princes were afraid of him... But in the subsequent battle to choose the prince, Du Shoutian chose Yi Xi!"
"It was because of Du Shoutian's ingenious plan that Yi Xi was able to win the great treasure... In fact, Emperor Daoguang still valued Guiziliu very much back then, and he almost handed over the country to him!"
It turns out to be childhood shadow and psychological trauma! The three princes all had their own painful memories. Under the magic of absinthe, these childhood shadows and psychological traumas all turned into devils in the fantasy!
