In the next few days, Liang Shanbo asked Sijiu to use a donkey cart to pull the wine to the restaurants in the county seat and some large manors to sell. But for several days, Forty-Nine only sold five jars of wine.

Sijiu said with a bitter face: "People say that wine is very good, but it is too expensive." Some people kicked me out as soon as they asked for the price and didn't let me in at all. ”

Liang Shanbo thinks about it, Sijiu will only do some work to serve people, and it is really difficult for him to let him sell wine. Although I don't know how to market, I still know some of the commonly used promotional methods in later generations. My mother didn't let me sell alcohol, saying that selling alcohol was a cheap business and would be looked down upon. But now I have no choice but to go out myself.

The second uncle looked at Liang Shanbo's sad face, and hesitated and said, "We can rent a wine shop in the county town to sell wine!" ”

That's right, Liang Shanbo thought about it, such an expensive wine must be bought by rich people, and the rich people are there, of course, in the county seat. "Okay, then prepare and prepare, and go to the county seat to sell wine in three days."

The wine shop rented by the Liang family in Shangyu County is not large, only two bungalows, and used to sell their own sorghum wine, and they can't sell a few jars a day, basically in a state of making ends meet.

But today's Liangjia wine shop is obviously different from the past, with colorful flags planted in front of the house, and two banners with yellow characters on a red background hung on the wall: "Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon", "I am born to be useful, and the daughter will come back when it is gone." The previous sentence is to persuade people to drink, how can people live without drinking? The latter sentence is to persuade people to spend money, don't be afraid, there is still money to spend.

There are a lot of wine jars in front of the wine shop, and there is a square table on the street in front of the door, on which are placed three wine glasses of two and a half, and next to the wine glasses are a stack of silver with white flowers, all of which are silver ingots of ten taels and one. There is also a flag erected behind the table, which reads, "The tiger is drunk in the mountains, and the dragon sleeps at the bottom of the sea." If you don't pour three cups, you will be given a hundred taels of silver. ”

The blue sky is like a wash, the sky is cloudless, the warm sun is shining, the breeze is blowing gently, and such a good weather is the most suitable for shopping.

The street in front of the liquor store was already crowded with people, those who didn't drink came to see the excitement, and those who drank well came for the hundred taels of silver. One hundred taels of silver, that's how many lifetimes ordinary people can't earn, with this money, he will immediately turn over and become a rich man!

Only three people dressed as sons of the family were attracted by the banners on the wall, and while admiring and admiring: "Good poetry, good poetry, this can be called a quatrain for the ages, I don't know who wrote it?" ”

At the end of the day (nine o'clock in the morning), the Liangjia liquor exhibition officially began. Liang Shanbo came out first to give a welcome speech:

Thank you for coming, welcome to taste three glasses of liquor made by the Liang family for free, if the three glasses are not poured, the Liang family will give a hundred taels of silver. At the same time, everyone is welcome to buy, today's wine price will be discounted by 5%, only this day, outdated. The best three cups pour twenty taels of jars, high-quality five taels of jars, ordinary ones of one or two jars, you can also break up wine, five hundred wen one tael.

As soon as Uncle Liang finished speaking, the bartender of the Liang family opened the wine jar, and a smell of wine suddenly came to his face, and many people sneezed. There were a lot of people who wanted to come up to taste, and a few of them were men with big shoulders and round waists who rushed forward to taste the wine. They thought that three glasses of wine were fine, not to mention drinking three catties, and ten catties were fine. But who knew that after three cups of belly, the men all fell crookedly under the table.

At this time, a big man came out of the crowd, nine feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a head as big as a bucket, a red face, a rosacea, an open chest, and a loud cry in his mouth: "What kind of wine, dare to say that three cups will not be poured, I will drink thirty cups, and three hundred cups will not be poured." ”

Before the words fell, the person had already walked to the table, picked up the wine glass and smelled it, and said, "Sure enough, the wine is good, but I don't know how strong it is?" ”。 After speaking, he toasted three times in a row, shook his head and smiled: "How about it, I said it's okay!" I've never been drunk, and you can't drink this wine, so bring me the money!" ”

The people of the Liang family were stunned, there were really people who could drink three cups, and now it was a big loss.

Liang Shanbo was also muttering in his heart, these three glasses of wine are more than a catty, and that is more than 60 degrees of wine! This guy is too good at drinking, they usually drink rice wine at seven or eight degrees.

Someone in the crowd knew this person, pointed at him and said: "He is the wine king of our county, he can't drink a thousand glasses, and no one has really seen him drunk, and he is called 'a thousand cups less'."

is willing to lose the bet, Liang Shanbo immediately asked people to give this "thousand cups less" a hundred taels of silver.

"A thousand cups less" took the silver and laughed, who knew that just after taking two steps, his body shook and fell to the ground with a pop, and his mouth was still shouting "Good wine, good wine, silver, my silver!" The people around laughed, and the bartender of the Liang family hurriedly took the silver back.

Whether this wine is fragrant or not, you can know it by smelling it with your nose, whether this wine is strong or not, just look at the "thousand cups less" lying under the table. Although the price is very expensive, the shrewd person has already counted the account, and it is expensive to buy and drink cheaply! In the past, it was okay to drink ten catties of wine, but this kind of wine was drunk after drinking two or three taels, and it was still cheaper to buy this kind of wine.

For a while, people began to buy money one after another, and the front of the Liang family liquor store was crowded. At this moment, someone outside the crowd shouted: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, Wei Gongzi is here." ”

As soon as he heard Wei Gongzi's name, the crowd flashed to both sides, and some people were busy hiding in the crowd, which showed how loud this name was in Shangyu County.

Wei Gongzi was wearing a robe with big sleeves, holding a whisk in his hand, applying powder on his face, arranging flowers on his hat, and wearing clogs on his feet, and asked with a glance in his eyes: "Whose wine is this, who asked you to sell wine here, has it been allowed by the Yamen?" ”

Liang Shanbo knew that this guy who was neither male nor female knew that he was a gentleman, and it was very troublesome to provoke such a guy. He looked at the shopkeeper of the wine shop next to him, and the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Wei Gongzi's name is Wei Suo, and he is the eldest son of Wei Song, the magistrate of Shangyu County. The key is that his family also opened a wine shop, which is diagonally opposite, called Zuifeng Building. It's better for Childe to dodge. ”

Just when Liang Shanbo was stunned, Wei Gongzi saw that no one answered his question, and he was immediately annoyed and angry, and shouted at the throat of the male duck: "Smash, smash it all for me!" ”

The Wei family's favorite thing to do is this kind of work of robbing the house, it is not difficult, and it can show off its might, and the son will have a bounty after he goes back. The housekeepers rushed forward, picked up the wooden sticks in their hands, and smashed the wine jar of the wine shop with a crackling, and the wine flowed all over the ground, and the pungent aroma of wine spread far and wide. A few of the guys from the liquor store stretched out their hands to stop them, and they were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces.

Seeing that someone was smashing wine, the guys from the Liang family wine shop and the guards brought by Shanbo quit, and they rolled up their sleeves and wanted to do it. The second uncle also came with him today, wine is his life, smashing wine is his life, he pulled out the kitchen knife in his arms and wanted to cut people.

Liang Shanbo forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, damn, when did Lao Tzu suffer such a loss, and he was smashed by someone selling wine. But Liang Shanbo knew that he couldn't make a mistake now, once he made a move, no matter whether he could defeat the other party or not, he would be immediately arrested and put in prison by the official. Even if you run away after the fight, you can't run the monk to the temple, and the Liang family is twenty miles away from the county seat, so you can't fly.

Liang Shanbo grabbed the second uncle hard, and waved his hand at everyone, don't move, let him smash it.

The people in the wine shop dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and they were smashed by the Wei family. Wei Suo shouted for a long time and no one dared to talk, he felt a little boring, and the family members were also smashed, this is too difficult, just like a strong man beating a three-year-old child, he is embarrassed to do it.

Wei Suo looked at the people in the shop, and Shanbo looked like a steward. He walked up to Liang Shanbo, stretched out his index finger with his right hand, pointed at Shanbo's nose and scolded: "Boy, what is your name, you dare to come to Shangyu County to sell wine with great fanfare, do you know whose territory this is, do you know who has the final say here?" If you dare to sell alcohol again, I will break three of your legs. ”
