After thinking for a while, Gu Liang couldn't think of a suitable name. People here don't know the brand name of the future liquor, and the more traditional liquor names such as Nv'erhong and Huadiao refer to rice wine. "A real man, a good man..." Gu Liang thought about what General Zhang said just now, and suddenly had a name in his mind, which was very suitable for the characteristics of liquor. Gu Liang quickly replied to General Zhang: "My Lord, this wine is called 'Bawangzui'. It is a secret recipe passed down by our ancestors. Because the Overlord of Western Chu drank three bowls and fell drunk on the battlefield, it was named 'Bawangzui'. It is only because this wine requires a lot of grain and is complicated to brew, so it has never been famous."

When Gu Liang thought of the name 'Bawangzui', he immediately made up a story and hired the Overlord of Western Chu, Xiang Yu, as the image spokesperson. After this wave of operations, Gu Liang couldn't help but give himself a full score.

"Good, good, good name! It is worthy of being called 'Bawangzui'. The wine is rich and refreshing. This wine deserves such a domineering name." General Zhang was even more excited after hearing the name of the wine, and he shouted three times. Not only for the wine, but also for the name of the wine. Which general doesn't want to be called 'Bawang' by future generations like Xiang Yu? Not only brave and resourceful, but also invincible.

In this way, the wine brought by Gu Liang became the focus of today's banquet. General Zhang was not stingy. He asked his men to give Gu Liang a gold leaf on the spot and bought all the liquor that Gu Liang brought.

With good wine and old friends, General Zhang drank heartily. Moreover, General Zhang was very generous. After buying Gu Liang's wine, he immediately distributed it to the guests on the scene, focusing on sharing the blessing.

Gu Liang held the stack of gold leaves in his hand, and his hands were sweating. Although it was not the shape of ingots or gold coins that Gu Liang imagined, it was gold, and it was so golden in the sun that people dared not look directly at it.

In ancient times, "叶" means "页", so the gold leaves in costume dramas are not in the shape of leaves, but like ancient book pages. Gold leaves are thin and easy to carry. Because they are thin, they can't be faked like gold ingots, and the gold pages are easy to cut and use.

After achieving his goal, Gu Liang no longer stayed at the table and retreated immediately. It was not because he was full, but because Gu Liang felt that gold was too precious. He was afraid that it would be stolen because of the crowd. He had earned this gold leaf with great difficulty. Unfortunately, gold leaves are not like gold ingots, so they cannot be chewed.

Xu Lingjun also left with Gu Liang. He was not interested in the family banquet, so he just accompanied Gu Liang.

The two came to Xu Lingjun's study. Xu Lingjun said to Gu Liang mysteriously: "Brother, the story of Wu Song fighting the tiger that you told last time, is the store in that story your family?"

Gu Liang grinned and replied with his big teeth about to fall off after hearing Xu Lingjun's question: "What? Wu Song fighting the tiger is a book written by others, and the story is made up by people. How could it be related to my family?" Gu Liang was admiring the gold leaves in front of the study window. The sunlight was just right at this time, and it could penetrate the gold leaves, making the inscriptions on them very clear, and also made Gu Liang very happy.

"You're talking nonsense. What happened in that story must have happened to your family!" Xu Lingjun seemed a little excited at this time, because he felt that he seemed to have discovered something interesting. He continued to say to Gu Liang: "The 'Ba Wang Zui' you brought out today said that Ba Wang got drunk after drinking three bowls. And in the story of Wu Song fighting the tiger you told, the wine Wu Song drank was 'Three bowls and you can't pass the post'.

Is your wine called 'Three bowls and you can't pass the post' because Ba Wang got drunk after drinking three bowls? And I have never heard of the story of Wu Song fighting the tiger before, and you happen to know it so clearly, so your family must have seen Wu Song fighting the tiger."

After listening to Xu Lingjun's series of messy reasoning, Gu Liang was shocked. This kid was too imaginative and forced two unrelated stories together.

Gu Liang was also at a loss for words. He couldn't tell the truth at this time. He said that the stories about Ba Wang Zui and Ba Wang getting drunk after three bowls were made up. That would ruin his reputation. He could only reply helplessly, "Brother, these are really just stories. You can't think that they are what others have experienced just because you haven't heard them from others. These are hearsay and can't be taken seriously.

Besides, you haven't heard the story of Journey to the West that I told you.

, is it also what I have experienced? Then am I a monkey or a land old man? "

However, although Gu Liang said so much, Xu Lingjun did not seem to listen. He only heard the three words "Journey to the West", and hurriedly asked Gu Liang to continue. Gu Liang was a little helpless, but who made him in a good mood today? All the white wine had been bought, so it didn't matter if he told it for a whole day.

However, Gu Liang's story didn't last long before someone came up.

It was not a stranger, but also someone who attended the banquet at Xu's house today. There were four people who came. Judging from their clothes, they should be people with some official positions.

The people who came introduced themselves one by one. It turned out that they were all the chief clerks or supervisors of several nearby counties. They came to the banquet today to curry favor with General Zhang. After all, General Zhang's official position was much higher than theirs. And they were just some small officials who were not in the rank, and General Zhang could make them go to the next level with just a few words.

However, Gu Liang was a little confused. They came to curry favor with General Zhang. At this time, the banquet had not yet ended, and suddenly Why did they come to him?

After the four people reported their home, they eagerly asked Gu Liang if he had more "Ba Wang Zui". They were willing to spend more money to buy it.

However, all the wine that Gu Liang brought had been given to General Zhang. There was no more wine at this time. Gu Liang could only reply to them truthfully that there was only so much wine.

After hearing Gu Liang's words, the smiles on their faces immediately became disappointed. Because the reason why they came to Gu Liang was entirely because they saw that General Zhang liked to drink this "Ba Wang Zui" very much today, so they wanted to buy more "Ba Wang Zui" from Gu Liang and give it to General Zhang. At that time, General Zhang might be happy and let them be promoted to a county magistrate or county lieutenant.

Gu Liang saw the disappointment of several people and quickly added: "Although the "Ba Wang Zui" today has been sold out, I will have a new batch of "Ba Wang Zui" in my house the day after tomorrow. If you want it, I can keep it for you then. "

After these words, their originally disappointed expressions became excited again, and they hurriedly thanked Gu Liang and asked him to keep it for them.

One of them was even more excited, and directly gave Gu Liang a silver ingot, saying it was a deposit, and he would keep it for him when the time comes. Seeing that this person had paid the deposit, the other three immediately reacted, and took out their money and belongings and began to roll up.
