In Minnan dialect, "wine" is the general name of all kinds of wine that people drink every day; "Dry wine" is the most unknown term in Minnan: empty wine bottle; "Dry wine" is the proposal or atmosphere of "dry wine" in Minnan dialect.
The original meaning of "if" is affirmative; "If not" is an affirmative word, which means that it cannot and should not be; "If" is a question, is there anything that can or how? "Nothing if" is also an affirmative word, there is nothing to do and nothing to do; "If you buy" is an affirmative sentence, what can you buy; "If you have something to sell" is also an affirmative sentence. What can you sell? You can't buy anything; "Sold out" means selling out according to the tone: softly.
When the tone is heavy, the question is "Is there anything to sell?" At this point, the original intention and meaning of the sentence "sell when the wine is dry" is "do you have any empty wine bottles to sell?" This is a Minnan dialect, which probably means "Do you have any wine bottles to sell?" . People who buy abandoned empty wine bottles in Minnan and Taiwan Province provinces and then sell them to waste recycling stations to earn a little money are all walking the streets, shouting "Dry wine can't be sold". If anyone has empty bottles to sell at home, they will stop waste buyers.
Background: If the wine waste is sold out,
Wine bottles, if you don't sell them, are one of the words in Minnan dialect and a song in the movie "Take the Wrong Bus". Later, the TV series of the same name adapted from it also used this song as the theme song and was sung by Julie. The songs in the movie "Taking the Wrong Bus" are also used as the theme songs of the TV series of the same name. The story is about a mute who lives by buying empty bottles and collecting junk. In his house, the walls are tiled one by one and the bottles are piled together.
The whole so-called "wall" looks like the bottom of a round glass bottle. The green one. Clean and tidy. Simple. Now that I think about it, his occupation should be to buy empty bottles. No wife and children. No friends. I have a vague impression that because he can't speak, he seems to use another voice, such as tapping, to replace the cry of "the wine is sold out when it is dry"
