405、毛泽东1949年初在西柏坡接见苏联米高扬等人,在宴会上他看不惯苏联人喝酒的那种傲气,就让厨师炒了红辣椒招待。米高扬没嚼上几口,便辣得张大了嘴直呵气,连眼睛都冒出泪水了,但毛泽东却津津有味地吃,同时打趣说:“在我们这里,不吃辣椒就是不能革命嘛!”又说:“你们能喝酒,比不过我们能吃辣椒,辣椒比酒味更浓哩!”米高扬听了翻译所译,说:“我们领教了毛主席的厉害了。” 405 Mao Tse-tung met with Mikoyan and so on at the early 1949 in Xibaipo. At the banquet, he could not understand the kind of arrogance that the Soviets drank and let the chef stir the red pepper. Mikoyan did not chew a few mouthfuls of it, so hot that his mouth was open, and even his eyes burst into tears. However, Mao Zedong talked about eating delicacies while jokingly said: “It is impossible for us to revolutionize eating peppers here.” He added: “You can drink more than we can eat peppers, peppers are thicker than wines!” Mikoyan listened to the translator’s translation and said, “We have experienced Chairman Mao’s greatness.”
