The local branch here in Korla (Xinjiang), however, makes is far to greasy and I always feel a bit sick afterwards. They need some goddamn quality control.

Hotpot at Gui Jie, and the first bottle of Wuliangye's on me. Ah well – wait’ll you guys get here in December. Hotpot at Gui Jie, and the first bottle of Wuliangye’s on me.

I just happen to have a full bottle here, but it might not last long into our forthcoming hotpot party. many’s the time I’ve sung the praises of 五粮液 Wuliangye.

Jinliufu, which may or may not be one of Wuliangye's products (you understand the memory lapse, I'm sure) is also on my list of Drinkable Baijius, along with Mengguwang, Menggu Koubei, Guizhou Chunjiu, an obscure one I have only ever seen in the corner store in the in-laws' village called Honggaoliang (I first bought it for the obvious reference, then found it quite palatable), and a certain Laocunzhang I drank once or twice down in Tianjin. The last two are brewed somewhere up Dongbei way. Having said that, I'm not above drinking Niulanshan or Hongxing Ergoutou when the occasion demands. Guess I'll have to get off my arse and try Quanjude sometime. Mmmmm Wuliangye…..
