Chapter 19: New Wine
Yang Huahua is right, the human heart is indeed a very strange thing.
Abnormal behavior can cause contempt and disgust, and even vicious swearing, but it is undeniable that abnormal behavior can attract people's greatest curiosity, and curiosity will inevitably lead to attention, attention, that is, influence.
As long as you are prepared in advance, properly guide this influence, and complete a gorgeous turn, then you will surely reap a victory that ordinary people cannot imagine.
What will follow will be overwhelming praise.
In the previous life, although Li Xi was just a small white-collar worker, he grew up in the business era after all, and he was familiar with it in the company, but it is not uncommon to see this classic hype model - first arouse curiosity, and then turn over gorgeously.
He is familiar with this way.
After deciding to put the free wine tasting activity in the dog meat lady's Wenjun wine shop, he didn't even bother to post notices all over the city, but simply posted a notice in front of the door of the Wenjun wine house, telling the dog meat lady to clean up the tables and tables in the shop, especially the one at the door, and make sure to vacate a relatively spacious space, he turned around and left.
Things did not surprise him, although there was only one notice, but in one day, it was already spread all over the city. Whether it is the scholars in the courtyard of the deep house, or the peddlers and pawns in the streets and alleys, almost the entire city is talking about the keywords "Li Xi", "wine tasting", "free", and "Wenjun wine".
On the morning of March 13, it was the beginning of the free wine tasting. Early in the morning, countless people poured into the alley where Chongyi Fang Wenjun's wine was located, and even after three o'clock, the entire alley was already crowded with people.
Although with Li Xi's explanation in advance, Jingnu specially hired a lot of people to help maintain order, and finally left a pedestrian passage for this alley, so as not to affect traffic, but this crowd of people still attracted more and more people, so that together with the other shops in an alley, half of the doors were simply closed, and they leaned on their own doors to chat with the people who came to wait for the wine tasting, but they were not in a hurry to do business.
The vast majority of them, of course, came to wait and see the joke.
A few days ago, Li Xi released crazy words about reaching a thousand gold within half a year, and everyone was still discussing it with indignation, all of them were guessing how he could get a thousand gold in half a year, some said this and some said that, in short, everyone was not optimistic and despised, but they also had their own opinions, and there were even malicious speculations such as marrying Liu Wan'er to get a dowry of 500 gold, and then taking Pei Yang's nest and getting 500 gold.
In short, it can be said that the topic deliberately created by Li Xi is now being spontaneously hyped up by people to the hottest time.
And at this time, he suddenly stood up and threw out another topic, saying that he wanted to let everyone taste a new wine made with a secret recipe for free, so there was no need for him to say, almost everyone's first reaction when they heard the news was to take the initiative to associate this new wine with Li Xi's crazy words from half a year to a thousand daughters.
Therefore, after learning about this notice, everyone couldn't help but speculate in their hearts, what kind of wine can make Li Xi dare to say that he can reach a thousand dollars in half a year?
Think about it, I don't understand, because although making sake is indeed a money-making business, how big do you have to be to make half a year to a thousand dollars? And looking at Li Xi's posture, it seems that he does not win by quantity, but by the uniqueness of the wine itself, so ...... What's so peculiar about this new wine?
After this series of foreshadowing, if you want to say that those who know the news are not curious, then it is an evil door!
Since I am curious, since I want to know, and Li Xi also said that it is free for everyone to taste, which means, whether my wine is good or not, I will let you taste it for free, and wait for you to evaluate it after you finish tasting it! In this way, but if there is nothing particularly urgent to be busy with, who doesn't want to come over and taste Li Xi's new wine in person?
Therefore, today's Jinyuan County is definitely a city to taste new wine!
If it is just to promote a new wine step by step, then no matter how talented Li Xi is, or makes another wonderful poem praising his new wine, it will definitely not attract the attention of so many people, let alone let so many people willingly take the initiative to participate in this wine tasting.
It can be said that as long as the wine Li Xi takes out can convince everyone and satisfy their curiosity, then these people who come today will become the one who will make a name for him and his new wine in the future, and the evaluation of these people will become the best reputation for him and his new wine, and it is also the biggest guarantee that Li's new wine will become famous and sell well since then!
It's just that Rao is Li Xi has already taken all the situation into account, and has also made the most appropriate and thoughtful arrangements, and told Jingnu and the other wine sellers and guys in Wenjun's wine house in advance about the scenes that may appear today, so that they have a little psychological preparation early, knowing that today's scene will definitely not be small, but at the moment, this big movement still directly scared a few wine sellers and guys in the store stupid, and in the face of the noisy crowd, they just looked at each other one by one. Even if they went out to maintain order, they didn't know what to do until Jingnu gave them repeated instructions.
In fact, Jingnu is a little better than them, but it is also limited. Looking at the noisy crowd in the alleys outside, she seemed to be calmly commanding and assigning everyone to do their own work, but she was nervously wiping her hands with her apron over and over again, but no matter how she wiped it, the damp sweat in her palms would still seep out over and over again, and she couldn't wipe it.
Although she has a little daughter-in-law's family, although she has also opened a shop for two years, she has never seen such a big scene!
This chaotic whole alley, I'm afraid there are a lot of people and thousands of people! I'm afraid that the entire Jinyuan County has crowded here, right?
Before this, Jingnu never knew that this small alley could crowd so many people!
When the time came, Jing Nu looked up and looked out, except for a small aisle that was so narrow that only one or two people could pass through, the whole alley was already full, and even the two streets and alleys that were staggered at both ends of the alley seemed to be crowded with people!
She turned her back and nervously wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve.
At this time, many people who came early were already impatient, and someone shouted at the door of Wenjun's wine bar: "Hey, that little lady, didn't you say that you want to taste wine for free today, when will it start?" ”
"That's right, when has this been, why hasn't there been any movement? What about that bullshit genius Li Xi? Tell him to take out the wine, the uncle is thirsty, just moisten the uncle's throat, and see what fresh and good wine he has made! ”
"At this point, I don't see anyone or wine, that Li Xi isn't playing tricks on us, right? He is a scholar, what new wine can he make? I think there is a ** in the world, it's his kid playing with the big guy! ”
Jingnu looked up at the sun nervously, and an unnatural smile appeared on her face, "It's coming, it's coming, don't worry!" After saying that, she couldn't help but turn her head and look at the other side of the alley.
yes, when has this been, didn't you say that you would come early in the morning, why haven't you come here yet?
He won't be...... Trick me, right?
Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, Shizunu forced herself to calm down.
Of course, she didn't know that someone in the crowd was paying attention to her at this time!
Seeing her showing such an uneasy look, Pei Song smiled proudly at that moment.
It is said that with his identity, of course, he disdains to come to participate in any wine tasting, but I don't know if it is out of resentment towards Li Xi, or out of curiosity in his heart about this so-called Li's new wine, in short, he still came early in the morning.
He just wants to see with his own eyes how Li Xi makes a fool of himself, and what he wants is the opportunity to ridicule him on the spot.
Of course, after creating such a big momentum, if Li Xi simply didn't dare to take the lead, then he would naturally be even happier, because in that way, he would even save the effort of stretching out his own slap and slapping people, and I believe that there will definitely be countless people who are willing to stretch out this slap for him, and one will be more ruthless than the other!
At present, this scene is not a few rumors at the beginning, a few words can be solved at that time, and now it is ...... Hmph, the wrath of the puppet is still splashed with blood for five steps, not to mention take a closer look in the crowd, there are a lot of people with status here today!
From his heart, although he is not sure that Li Xi will have stage fright, at least he can be sure of one thing, that is, Li Xi, this kid, will not be able to make any unique new wine.
In other words, can anyone make wine?
How many years has wine been around? I'm afraid it's been two or three thousand years? How many people who like wine and drink wine in such a long period of time, there must be many of them trying to make new wine, but countless generations have been tinkering with new things? Everyone has been drinking it for so many years, and it is not the same winemaking craft thousands of years ago? Could it be that he Li Xi has the ability to say that he can make new wine by making wine? Can you surpass so many predecessors and ancestors?
So he was crowded in the crowd at this time, although he also felt that the crowded place was really uncomfortable, and he also felt irritable and didn't want to continue to stay here, but in fact, his heart was very tight, and his mood was quite leisurely.
Otherwise, with his identity, he would have come here to join in the fun?
When he said that he wanted to come over to see Li Xi's ugliness at dinner this morning, the old man also persuaded him, saying that he should not come over, according to the old man, although Li Xi is arrogant, but after all, he is still very capable, since he boasted that he has been in Haikou for half a year to a thousand dollars and tastes new wine for free, then it may not be that he is bluffing, it is very likely that he actually has that ability, so it is better to stay at home and wait and see what happens.
But Pei Song was very disdainful of the old man's statement.
Pei Yang's house has the old people of their old Pei family, he knows the situation there very well, to put it mildly, even what Pei Yang's eats at every meal, he knows it by turning his feet, so the day before yesterday, Pei Yang's scratch. The goods had gone to Li Xi and the two talked about things for a whole morning, and he naturally knew about it, although it was said that there were always people around when the two were talking, but as long as he thought of that scratch. The goods actually smiled at Li Xi all morning, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart, and he was uncomfortable.
What's especially important is that although he knew that there must be nothing between the two of them, there was already a connection between the two of them. The rumor of Annihilation is like a big thorn in his heart, and every time he thinks about it, he feels uncomfortable for a long time, and the most depressing thing is that this rumor is actually said by his mouth!
Because of this, while he was very dissatisfied with the old man, he also hated Li Xi to the extreme.
finally had such an opportunity to see Li Xi make a fool of himself and let himself clean him up, how could the old man's so-called analysis, which he thought was clever, stop the burning fire of jealousy in his heart?
Seeing the little lady who quietly closed her eyes and wiped her sweat in Wenjun's wine shop, Pei Song smiled evilly, and glanced at the people around him, and the people immediately said loudly: "Don't wait, I've been waiting for a long time, why haven't you seen the beginning, Li Xi, let him come out, if he doesn't have an explanation, Lao Tzu will go and smash his house!" ”
As soon as he shouted this, many people who had been waiting for impatience followed suit.
Jing Nu was so anxious that she couldn't even breathe, in the face of so many people, how could she say that she had no pressure, and this pressure was quite large, especially now, many people made trouble together, which she had never encountered, and she suddenly forgot to speak, fortunately, at this time, a mother-in-law pulled her, she quickly came back to her senses, and saw that everyone was yelling at herself, and the sweat in the palm of her hand came out unconsciously, and she didn't know what to say.
And at this time, Liu Lan, who also came over on purpose today, couldn't help frowning.
The reason why he came over was of course curiosity, but more importantly, since he talked with his second brother that day, he had actually roughly agreed with his father and younger brother's views in his heart, and he was also trying to overcome his previous views on Li Xi, so after hearing about the announcement, he thought that Li Xi would make a big scene here today, and after hesitating repeatedly, he simply ran over by himself.
He wanted to see what fresh tricks could be played by this Li Xi, who could make the old man and his brother who was so smart and almost demonic, value and trust him so much, and what was the situation with his so-called new wine.
Of course, like Pei Song, he brought his subordinates over, he was not going to meet Li Xi in this situation, even if he tasted wine later, naturally there were people who tasted it in the past, he just needed to know the evaluation.
It's just a pity that so many people have been waiting for this time, and Li Xi hasn't shown up yet!
What does he want to do?
Is it really like these people say, his kid is playing tricks on everyone?
Then he's really confused!
…………
Time passed slowly, and seeing that another half an hour had passed, everyone's emotions became more and more agitated, and some people even began to scold at the beginning, and seeing that the people who were crowded in the front and closest to Wenjun's wine bar looked angry, I don't know when, they might have to smash the shop!
Liu Lan looked up at the sky, he was also quite uncomfortable with being crowded in the crowd like this, but he felt uncomfortable anywhere, and then looked at Wenjun's wine pot not far away, it seemed that there was still no movement, and the little lady who was in charge looked even more like she had been scared silly by the momentum created by everyone.
He sighed, touched the two subordinates he brought with his arm, shook his head and said, "It seems that Li Xi doesn't dare to come, forget it, let's go, don't wait." ”
The two subordinates in the mansion were both kind-hearted, and they looked at the surging crowd around them, and couldn't help but persuade: "Eldest prince, or, let's wait a little longer?" You see, so many people are still waiting, let's wait a little longer, maybe my aunt will come! Besides, it's so crowded, it's hard for us to go out! ”
Liu Lan shook her head, sneered, and said, "I listened to the words of the second brother, and I originally had a little confidence in this Li Xi, but look at the current ...... Alas, forget it, let's go! ”
When the next person heard the words, he looked around, and he was speechless at the moment.
Yes, not to mention anything else, so many people have been waiting for more than an hour just crowded here, if there is really good wine, it is really to let everyone taste wine for free, then Uncle He should have taken out the wine a long time ago, why do you have to let everyone wait until this time, but he still hasn't shown up?
At that moment, he also sighed imperceptibly, and set off to squeeze in front of Liu Lan, preparing to open the way in front of his head.
But at this moment, I suddenly heard a bustle from the other side, and at that moment, including Liu Lan, all the people gathered at the door closest to Wenjun's wine hall were all quiet in unison, and then everyone listened attentively, only to hear someone shouting over there-
"It's coming, it's coming, Li Xi is here, the wine is here!"
