The worst time travel, surviving seven years of famine

After learning from their experience, Gu Liang and his two friends came to the second restaurant, thinking that they would sell the wine no matter what. However, this time they didn't even see the owner of the restaurant. When Gu Liang found the waiter in their store, the waiter directly said that they had their own home-brewed wine and would not accept other people's wine. So, Gu Liang, who had been busy all day, didn't sell a single order, but lost a pot of wine. Not only was Gu Liang depressed in this situation, but Li and Old Man Gu were also the same. On the way home, they didn't say a word and just hurried on their way. Gu Liang had to comfort them by saying that there would be a big market in the town the day after tomorrow, and we would definitely be able to sell it at a good price then. Two days later, Gu Liang came to the market early, took a good position, and shouted hard to sell wine. This time, in order to open up his reputation and attract customers, Gu Liang also gave the onlookers a small bowl to taste, just like selling dried persimmons, and specifically explained that this wine is very strong and needs to be tasted carefully.

Although most of the people who tasted it were stunned by the liquor, saying that the liquor was too strong and they were not used to it. But there are still some people who think that the liquor has a mellow and rich aroma and a clear taste, and they like it.

But those who like it said it was too expensive and they couldn't afford it after asking about the price. Seeing this, Gu Liang had no choice but to lower the price on the spot, after all, he hadn't sold a single order in a few days.

But Gu Liang seemed to have committed a taboo when selling things. When the group of onlookers saw that they said it was expensive, Gu Liang lowered the price a little, and immediately felt that as long as he didn't sell it and continued to say it was expensive, the wine seller would definitely continue to lower it. So the onlookers on the scene were divided into two groups. One group said that the wine sold by Gu Liang was too expensive, and they would buy it if it was cheaper. The other group asked Gu Liang to pour some more for them to taste, as they had not tasted it yet.

Gu Liang could see that the onlookers here either wanted to get it for free or wanted Gu Liang to sell it at the price of yellow wine. But how is this possible? One catty of grain can make two to three catties of yellow wine, but only one catty of white wine can be made at most.

On their side, the price of yellow wine is generally around ten cents per catty. Gu Liang is selling white wine in this market today. In order to sell it, the price has been reduced again and again, and it has been reduced to twenty cents per catty. But this group of people seemed to want Gu Liang to reduce the price of white wine to the same as yellow wine, but no matter how stupid Gu Liang was, he would not do this. The cost of raw materials for white wine is higher than that of yellow wine, and it has to be distilled. If he sells it like this, he might as well make yellow wine directly.

Li also felt that this group of people were doing it on purpose, so she advised Gu Liang to close the stall and go home. If they continued to sell like this, they would have worked in vain for two months.

Gu Liang had never expected the current situation. He had sold ice jelly and dried persimmons before because they had never seen such a situation here. People were willing to spend money to buy them because they were scarce. However, this liquor is replaceable. Liquor is expensive, so they can buy rice wine and yellow wine as substitutes. Anyway, they are all liquor.

After working hard at the market for half a day, Gu Liang only sold one catty of loose liquor. It was because the man was an old acquaintance of the second aunt that he bought one catty for face. If you calculate it, they might as well rent out the ox cart at home to make more money in half a day.

To go back to Lanxi Village from the market, you have to pass by Xu's house. Their family has a large site, and the house is not built on the main street of Lianhua Town, but built separately behind the town.

Gu Liang was sitting on the ox cart. Not long after passing Xu's house, he heard someone asking him to stay, and the name he called was still "Brother Liang".

This title is usually only used by Xu Lingjun of the Xu Mansion, so Gu Liang is very sensitive to this title, and he noticed it as soon as someone else called him. Gu Liang asked his grandfather, Old Man Gu, to stop the car, and he turned around to see who it was.

The person who came was not someone else, but someone Gu Liang knew. He was the servant of the Xu Mansion who was responsible for taking care of Xu Lingjun. Last time, he came to Lanxi Village to invite Gu Liang to the Xu Mansion.

Gu Liang hurriedly got out of the car to ask him what he wanted. After asking, Gu Liang realized that it was Xu Lingjun who invited him to the Xu Mansion as a guest. Although Gu Liang liked to visit the Xu Mansion, after all, the food was much better than that of the Gu family. However, the two families were not related, and Gu Liang felt that it was not good to go too much. Both of them were children. What if the adults in other families disliked it?

Originally, Gu Liang wanted to refuse, but the servant said that it was not today, but there was a banquet in the Xu Mansion in two days, so he came to invite.

After hearing that it was a banquet, Gu Liang hesitated and agreed. It was not because he could eat more delicious food, but because he felt that there was still a glimmer of hope in his mind. What if some rich Saudi tycoon took a fancy to his wine at the banquet?

After sending away the servants of the Xu Mansion, Gu Liang sat back at home again.

The oxcart in the house. The old man Gu, who was driving the car, asked carefully, "Are the Xu family here to ask for money?"

Gu Liang was a little confused by what the old man Gu said. Why did the Xu family ask him for money?

Seeing Gu Liang's confused look, the old man Gu continued, "How come you forgot that the young master of the Xu family lent money to our family to buy a cow? Originally, our family could have paid back half of it, but you secretly took the money to buy a wine jar."

"Oh, this matter, I remember it!" Gu Liang said he remembered it, but in fact he almost had no impression at all, after all, he didn't really borrow money from the Xu family. He comforted his grandfather, "It's okay, the young master Xu Lingjun is a very good person, he won't ask us to pay it back so soon."

However, after hearing what Gu Liang said, the old man Gu didn't let go of the stone in his heart, but became heavier. I thought that the white wine brewed this time would be as well received as the persimmon cakes, but who knew that it was blocked everywhere, and it didn't sell at all after a few days. It would be fine if they didn't owe foreign debts, but now they still owe others money and have to pay off the wine. How long will it take for their family to save the fifteen taels to pay it back? If they didn't brew the liquor and buy the wine jar, the Gu family could still pay it back.

However, although Old Man Gu thought so in his heart, he didn't say a word in front of Gu Liang. After all, his grandson brewed wine to improve the family's life. As an elder, he didn't help much, so how could he blame a child? If he wanted to blame someone, he could only blame himself, the grandfather, for not working hard when he was young and failing to earn a solid foundation for his descendants.

Although he didn't achieve the expected results in making wine this time, no one in the Gu family blamed Gu Liang, but comforted Gu Liang instead. He half-jokingly said that it didn't matter if the wine didn't go out, just brew it for his own family. Anyway, sorghum rice was unpalatable, and it was just right to brew wine to deal with the sorghum at home.

The more the family did this, the more uncomfortable Gu Liang felt, thinking that he had acted rashly without considering the actual situation.

In order not to waste the wine at home, Gu Liang also took the family's scoop and went to Lanxi to catch river shrimps and made a portion of drunken shrimps for his family to taste.

At first, the Gu family was shocked to see the river shrimps that were still alive and kicking in the last second, and then they were served on the table after being soaked in white wine and seasonings. They originally thought that soaking in white wine was just to remove the fishy smell of the shrimps, and they would have to heat them later, but Gu Liang asked them to put down their chopsticks directly.

The people of the Gu family also saw that this was Gu Liang's intention, and it was difficult to refuse, and they didn't care too much, so they picked up a still jumping live shrimp and put it in their mouths.

They made a great determination to put it in their mouths, closed their eyes and put it in their mouths without stopping and began to chew, for fear that the shrimps would also jump in their mouths. However, as they chewed, they found that the drunken shrimps were not as terrible as they imagined, but were very delicious and chewy, and revealed a hint of sweetness when they tasted it carefully.

After tasting the sweetness of the drunken shrimp, the Gu family members no longer disliked it and started eating it one by one.

Gu Liang was actually quite moved by this. As the saying goes, poor couples are sad about everything. The poorer the family, the more they care about material gains and losses. If it were an ordinary family, if Gu Liang did such a loss-making thing, the family would probably have been in chaos.

Now when Gu Liang looks at his family again, instead of blaming him, they support him more. Looking at the still united and lively family, Gu Liang feels that he can no longer leave them.
