The worst time travel, surviving seven years of famine

The next morning, Gu Liang had just washed his face and was about to go to dinner with Xu Lingjun. He ran into Xu Lingjun's grandfather, Xu Caizhu, at the door.

When Xu Caizhu saw the two of them coming, he turned around and handed each of them a box, saying it was a gift for them.

Gu Liang was very surprised. It was normal for Xu Caizhu to give gifts to his grandson, but why did he suddenly give himself a gift? However, Gu Liang didn't say what he was thinking, after all, he didn't know what was in the box.

When the two opened the box, they found that they were all exquisite crossbows.

Gu Liang quickly said that this thing was too expensive and he couldn't afford it. It was Xu Caizhu's birthday, so how could he accept his gift in return! Although Gu Liang didn't know how much a crossbow was worth, he was not stupid. An ordinary bow was worth a lot of money, not to mention the more complicated crossbow. If we compare it with the current prices, this bow is equivalent to the price of an ordinary pistol, and this crossbow is equivalent to the price of a machine gun. It is estimated that an ordinary farmer would have to empty his family to buy a crossbow, so Gu Liang refused it immediately.

And the rich man Xu smiled and said that he hadn't slept so comfortably for a long time because he drank Gu Liang's green plum wine last night. After drinking this wine, he not only didn't feel dizzy but also relieved headaches. He should thank Gu Liang very much. Moreover, as a man who is almost sixty years old, how can he accept a gift from a child? If he accepts it, he should give it back.

The rich man Xu let Gu Liang rest assured and continued. He bought these two crossbows for his grandson Xu Lingjun. His family started with martial arts, and now the descendants are all reading literature. He bought them to make the descendants have the heroic spirit of warriors, not weak. Seeing that Xu Lingjun really liked playing with Gu Liang, he happened to have two crossbows, so he gave one to Gu Liang. He asked Gu Liang to practice with Xu Lingjun, and when Xu Lingjun could pull the bow, he could practice archery.

Gu Liang stroked the crossbow carefully, fearing that it would be broken. It must be said that the education of the descendants of rich families is different. He is just an ordinary friend of Xu Lingjun, but he can get such a great honor. Unlike their family, from childhood to adulthood, there is no teaching except some housework. It seems that when he makes money in the future, he must hire a teacher to give his sisters a good lesson, so that they don't play in the mud all day.

Gu Liang stroked the crossbow made of sour jujube wood, which was very smooth and delicate. The tight rubber band and the cold metal structure proved its power and preciousness.

Gu Liang was still observing it carefully. After all, it was the first time he saw a crossbow, and he was a little afraid to move. Xu Lingjun had already started to use it, moving the connecting rod on the crossbow with force, and then he shot out an arrow, the head of which was deeply embedded in the wall.

"Great, Gu Liang, you can try it too. This crossbow can hold ten arrows at a time." Xu Lingjun called Gu Liang happily, after all, which boy can avoid such temptation!

Gu Liang was even more shocked after hearing what Xu Lingjun said. He didn't expect that this thing was the legendary crossbow. The crossbow originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties. The legend of this crossbow was that it was created by Zhuge Kongming, but due to the popularity of rockets and earth guns made of gunpowder in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it had long been lost. I didn't expect that I could see this magical thing with my own eyes.

In the next few days, Gu Liang and Xu Lingjun practiced crossbows in Xu's house. From the beginning, it was difficult to touch the target, but later, seven or eight arrows out of ten could hit the center of the target. Although it couldn't hit the center of the target, this result was also very good. I have to say that the crossbow is good. You don't need to draw the bow to stabilize your body, you just need to move the connecting rod. Otherwise, if you change the bow, Gu Liang probably can't even draw a half-stone bow.

During these few days, the banquet at Xu's house was held normally. Because it was not a big event, there were fewer people than last time, only a few tables. The wine used in the banquet included not only famous wines from all over the country such as yellow wine and rice wine, but also plum wine and mulberry wine sent by Gu Liang.

Gu Liang was very grateful for this, which was equivalent to another good publicity for him.

Sure enough, when Gu Liang returned to Lanxi Village, the sales of his own wine were much better than before.

These days, the Gu family's wine is produced stably, brewed once every half a month, and can produce several thousand kilograms a month. Although the quantity is not large, it is already a huge amount for the local area, and it has reached the point where supply exceeds demand.

Gu Liang also adjusted his policy for this. The reason why this liquor cannot be sold so much is entirely because the people who come to buy wine belong to their local upper class. After all, the upper class is a minority and cannot consume so much. And an ordinary local pub

They will sell hundreds of kilograms of rice wine or hundreds of kilograms of yellow wine. This is because they are more of a civilian route, and ordinary people will buy it for daily consumption.

So the first thing Gu Liang has to do is to lower the price of his own wine to attract these ordinary people and sell it in large quantities. After all, Jiangzhou is not a wealthy place, and most of them are ordinary people.

Although the price of Bawangzui has dropped a lot in recent days, the price still makes the villagers stay away.

So Gu Liang decided to grade his own wine, that is, to classify it according to the order of each distillation. The best wine is Erguotou after the first wine, which is still sold as Bawangzui. The wine produced after Erguotou has a lower alcohol content and a lighter aroma. This wine is obviously a level lower than Bawangzui, but it is also much stronger than ordinary wine.

Gu Liang is going to use this kind of wine as a product for ordinary people. The price is only half more expensive than the yellow wine on the market, which is also good value for money. Gu Liang plans to sell this kind of wine in bulk. If you want to buy half a catty, buy half a catty. If you want to buy eight ounces, buy eight ounces. I will scoop it for you on the spot.

In order to distinguish it, Gu Liang also gave this wine a name, called "Lanxi", which is the name of their village. It is very common to use the place of origin as the brand name. After all, the place name is easier to remember and increase brand awareness. People who are familiar with the place name will also have a natural good impression of it, and have a sense of identity and trust. And every time people in their own village say that they are from Lanxi Village, they are undoubtedly advertising their own wine.

Soon, the Lanxi wine launched by the Gu family was known by the Gu family in Lanxi Village. After they drank Bawangzui last time, they couldn't forget Bawangzui and wanted to drink it again, but the price was too expensive, and they couldn't ask for it shamelessly. Some people wanted to drink it again to continue to save face in front of other villagers. After all, you can't afford to drink it once, but I can drink it twice.

With this mentality, many of the first batch of Lanxi wine produced by Gu Liang's family were bought by several relatives. After all, the price of Lanxi wine was not much more expensive than the wine they drank everyday, so they gritted their teeth and bought it. Besides, this wine was stronger than ordinary wine, and they could not drink much at a time, so it was more economical.

Just like that, before Gu Liang did much publicity, the Gu family's Lanxi wine spread all over Lanxi Village. After hearing such an "incredible" price, a group of people came to buy wine with their own wine pots.
