The worst time travel, surviving seven years of famine

The wine was sold out, and the wine was sold out.

In order to attend the banquet, Gu Liang specially took out the three porcelain pots given by the owner of the ceramic shop. Although the porcelain was not the best, it looked more than one level higher than the pottery pot.

Gu Liang prepared to use these three pots of wine as gifts for the banquet, hoping that someone in the Xu family would like it, so that his liquor would have a way out. In addition to these three pots, Gu Liang also brought other wines, just in case someone really liked it, he could just sell it on the spot.

When Gu Liang came to Xu's house, he found that the guests this time were completely different from the last time. Last time, there were all kinds of people. But this time, they were basically people with gorgeous clothes, and their behavior and conversation were not ordinary people.

Gu Liang asked Xu Lingjun why his family held the banquet this time.

At this time, Xu Lingjun was pestering Gu Liang to tell him the story of Journey to the West. He had finally called Gu Liang to his home. He replied nonchalantly: "My grandfather's friend who used to know him in the army came to my house. I don't know who leaked the news. Some officials and businessmen here insisted on meeting him. My grandfather had no choice but to hold a banquet and let them all meet at once.

Brother Liang, this banquet has nothing to do with us. Tell me the story of the Monkey King after he arrived at Gao Laozhuang. I have been waiting for a long time."

Gu Liang was a little scared when he heard Xu Lingjun say this. Good guy, this person who can make local officials and gentry compete to meet him must have an extraordinary status and position. It is estimated that he must be an official appointed by the court. Such a great status became so common in Xu Lingjun's mouth, just like an ordinary relative came to his house. Gu Liang thought that if he could not find an excuse to invite him to his house to tell stories, Xu Lingjun would probably not bother to mention the banquet.

At noon, the banquet started as scheduled. There were not as many people as last time, and there were only four or five tables. However, the people who came were either rich or noble in their local area. Gu Liang was also quite timid and did not dare to provoke them. He sat honestly with Xu Lingjun at the table with children.

Gu Liang was also very tormented. On the one hand, he wanted to promote his wine in front of these people. On the other hand, these people came to curry favor with the guests of Xu's house. If he disturbed them, it would be bad to be hated by others. With his status and position, he could not withstand the revenge of others.

During the banquet, Xu Lingjun also introduced to Gu Liang that the burly man at the main table was their guest, a fourth-rank military general, surnamed Zhang, and had known his grandfather for many years. He came to their house to reminisce about the past because he passed by Jiangzhou on official business.

Because this guest was a military general, the atmosphere was very lively, with big mouthfuls of wine and big mouthfuls of meat. In order to please him, everyone showed their most heroic side, especially those wearing long gowns. They were obviously dressed like typical scholars, but it was a bit funny to show their vulgar side.

After three rounds of drinking, the guests were already drunk, but General Zhang and Mr. Xu were the only ones who were getting more and more energetic and showed no signs of being drunk.

Seeing that the local people who flattered him were already staggering, General Zhang said to the wealthy Xu: "Brother Xu, the people in your area can't drink much! Back then, we brothers could drink from night to dawn without any problem."

When the wealthy Xu heard his old friend say this, he also sighed: "Among the brothers, you have the best alcohol tolerance. Now you are the only one in the court. I'm afraid you have drunk all the fine wines from all over the country!"

"That's not right. When it comes to fine wine, the best is the wine from the north. The water in the north is hard, and the wine brewed is the strongest. Unlike you in the south, the water is soft, and the wine brewed doesn't have much taste." After saying this, General Zhang burped, looking down on today's wine. He didn't even use the wine bowl, but directly picked up the wine jar and poured it into his mouth.

Mr. Xu smiled and said, "My dear brother, I am sorry for not treating you well. Today's wine is not enough. I will find good wine to drink with you in the future."

The two were in high spirits at this time. In addition, they had not seen each other for many years, so their voices were very loud. The whole room could hear clearly, including Gu Liang.

Gu Liang didn't know where he got the courage from at this time. He felt that his chance had come. If he didn't seize it, he would never have it in the future.

So he resolutely walked to the main table and said with courage, "Sir, the wine brewed by my family is rich in aroma and pure and sweet. I saw that you didn't drink enough today, so I dared to present the wine brewed in my family to the general."

Gu Liang's sudden appearance made the banquet quiet instantly. Mr. Li couldn't figure out where this kid Gu Liang came from. Logically,

He said that there should be no other children at the banquet except his grandson.

At this time, Xu Lingjun jumped out to explain to his grandfather that Gu Liang was his friend and was specially invited to accompany him today, and his great grandfather agreed.

When Xu Caizhu saw that Gu Liang was invited by his grandson, his expression eased a lot. If an ordinary child had sneaked into their house for so long without being discovered, he would have to punish the servants in the house. So when Xu Caizhu saw Gu Liang boasting that he had better wine, he wanted to help him and asked Gu Liang to take out the wine.

Before handing the wine to General Zhang, Gu Liang also reminded him that his wine was too strong and could only be drunk in small sips to avoid choking. Many people who drink white wine for the first time will choke, so Gu Liang had to remind him, for fear that the general would be choked and die in anger.

But who knew that Gu Liang's kind reminder made General Zhang feel that he was despised by a child. He felt that he had drunk more wine than others had drunk water, and no one had ever told him to be careful not to choke on wine. So he laughed and said, "I didn't know there was such a strong wine in the world. If your wine can choke me today, I will reward you with 100 taels of silver."

After that, General Zhang directly picked up the wine pot handed over by Gu Liang and started blowing into it. Gulu, Gulu...

Gu Liang never thought that General Zhang was such a big drinker. He drank more than ten mouthfuls in one breath without stopping, not to mention being choked.

"Ah! Good wine, I haven't had such a good drink in a long time. I have been drinking for decades, but I didn't know there is such a strong wine in the world. This is the wine that a real man and a good man with blood should drink. Kid, what is the name of this wine? Although it looks like clear water, it is so rich and mellow. Why have you never heard of it?" General Zhang's face was normal before drinking the white wine. After drinking the white wine, his face began to blush and his voice began to hoarse, with obvious drunkenness.

"Wow, I actually forgot to name my wine!" Gu Liang thought to himself, and his head began to brainstorm, thinking about what good name he should give to the white wine. "Moutai? This name is too gimmicky, and people here don't know the reputation of Moutai. Wuliangye? My wine is not brewed with five kinds of grains! Qiongjiangyuye? No, this name is probably used a long time ago... "
