"Me me me!"

"Boss, my voice becomes louder even when I speak softly. This job belongs to me!"

"Master, don't listen to him. My ancestors were eunuchs who shouted at the ceremony. If you want to have such a voice, it has to be me!"

At that time, a group of people immediately started fighting.

Good guy, just shout for a while, and you will have a hundred cents in one day!

This can buy many pounds of pork meat, so that the children at home can enjoy meat.

You can also pull some pieces of cloth to make new clothes for your mother-in-law.

That is to say, the employer is generous, otherwise, where can I find such a good job?

The wages of Liuji's masters are quite high, but not everyone is a master.

Winemaking is a technical job, you have to learn it!

Most people just do hard work and long-term labor, but without the good treatment of the master, it is better than working at home as a farmer.

"Okay, Uncle Fu is responsible for this matter."

"If any of you want to go, just sign up with him."

...

Because of Gu Beichuan's words, the whole Huainan changed completely.

First, the Liuji Liquor Shop in the south of the city hung a red banner.

The slogan scrawled above is catchy and heart-stirring.

In addition, in the streets and alleys, there are many Liu Ji clerks holding banners and shouting.

They did nothing but shouted, from beginning to end.

Drink water and rest when you are thirsty, and continue shouting when you have rested.

The common people in Huainan City, who had never experienced anything like this before, were immediately attracted by this novel propaganda method.

When they came forward to ask, the guys said that Liu Ji had brewed new wine, and the taste was comparable to fine wine.

I want to give comments to the literati at the Huainan Poetry Conference.

If you want to know what this drink tastes like, come to the Huainan Poetry Club.

Although not everyone has the money to buy Liuji New Wine, it is human nature to be curious and join in the fun. They don’t have to buy it, but it doesn’t stop them from spreading the news!

Soon, the news that Liu Ji had brewed three new wines spread throughout the streets of Huainan.

Everyone wanted to see what this wine, which was as good as nectar and jade liquid, tasted, and it actually cost one tael of silver a bottle!

As a result, the popularity of the Huainan Poetry Club has become much higher.

Originally, only the literati were interested in this poetry society, but now even the common people are flocking to it.

...

Zhang Mansion.

Zhang Tui looked at his father Zhang Xing, with lingering sadness in his brows.

"Father, you have seen everything Liu Ji does these days."

"If you dare to publicize it so much, you must be brewing new wine!"

"Otherwise, all that awaits them is humiliation. Liu Ji doesn't dare to take this risk! So the brewing recipe is probably true!"

Seeing that Zhang Xing remained silent, Zhang Tui could only continue:

"Father! Nowadays, in the streets and alleys of Huainan, the world only knows Liu Ji Liquor Shop. Who knows me, Zhang Ji?"

"We have already fallen behind. If we don't take action, the Huainan Poetry Festival will definitely lose!"

"Father! It's time for you to make up your mind! Let's make some wine!"

"There are hundreds of people in the shop, we can't accompany you alone to do whatever you want!"

After hearing this, Zhang Xing stood there for a long time, and finally he could only sigh and said: "Let's make some wine."

"There are also those wine bottles and banners, just watch them unfold."

"Since we are competing, we have to be as good as Liu Ji in every aspect."

"Your aunt occasionally caught wind and cold a few days ago, and then fell seriously ill. I'm afraid she won't have much time left."

"I have to go visit you. You have to take care of everything in the shop and the Huainan Poetry Club."

"Don't be impulsive when doing things on weekdays. Ask experienced masters more often."

"Just keep your family business and wait for me to come back."

Zhang Tui's brows were filled with joy, knowing that his chance had come!

Once his father is gone, he will be able to flex his muscles.

He made a splash at the Huainan Poetry Festival, defeated Liu Ji, and took over their shop.

All this must be done before my father comes back, so that he will be impressed!

"Father, don't worry, the child will be spared."

...

The next day, another group of shouting guys appeared in the streets and alleys of Huainan City.

But this time, it’s Zhang Ji’s people!

He acted quite arrogantly and had many conflicts with Liu Ji's associates.

Zhang Tui himself also arrived at Liulician.

"What? Sixty coins for a bottle?"

"Li Dan! Are you crazy about money?"

"Your glass just looks better, but in terms of use, what's the difference between it and that stone jar?"

"How can you say this?"

Li Dan looked at Zhang Tui who was a little bit crazy and had no choice but to say: "Master Zhang, if you don't want to buy it, you can go and look elsewhere. There is no need to make a noise in front of my store."

"At least, this is the price Liu Ji buys from me."

"It's not cheap."

Hearing this, Zhang Tui hesitated.

All he knew was that Liu Ji had ordered a batch of glass bottles for three new wines and said that he would not buy bulk wine in the future and would sell it by the bottle.

But little did he know that these bottles could be so expensive.

That’s a full sixty cents!

An adult man only earns so much a day's wages.

Isn’t it ridiculous that I can only buy one bottle?

Damn Liu Ji, you are driving up prices!

However, thinking of all the benefits after defeating Liu Ji, Zhang Tui could only grit his teeth and said: "Sixty coins is sixty coins, give me a batch too!"

Hearing this, Li Dan's eyes narrowed with a smile.

"Okay, what do you want?"

"Follow Liu Ji's standards, but do better than them!"

"Forehead..."

"What? No?"

"It's okay, but you have to pay more."

"Sixty coins are not enough?" Zhang Tui stared angrily.

"Master Zhang, are you trying to make things difficult for me! At the same price of sixty cents, if I make yours better than Liu Ji's, will I still need this sign in the future?"

You... what you said makes so much sense, I have no words to refute!

"Then...then seventy cents!"

The world is big and the earth is big, the biggest one is to defeat Liu Ji!

It’s the same drink. If you can’t win on the bottle, how can you win?

Zhang Tui kept giving himself reasons, and then he convinced himself to accept the price of 70 yuan.

At the same time, I was filled with resentment. These days, glaze merchants make more money than winemakers.

"Okay, don't worry, Master Zhang. I'll hurry up and make it for you and keep the finished product before the Huainan Poetry Fair."

...

Also in front of the window, also just picking up paper and pen.

The blue bird flapped its wings and landed on the window edge.

Gu Beichuan got excited, opened the bamboo tube on the bird's leg and took out the rice paper.

"Want me to complete this seven-character rhyme poem?"

"Okay, I'll just let you admire Mr. Mei's literary talents."

"Ascending"

"The wind is strong and the sky is high, the apes are screaming in mourning, and the white birds stationed on the green sand are flying back."

“The endless falling trees rustle under the trees, and the endless Huaihe River rolls in.”

"Wandering With Melancholy, a century on stage alone and sick."

"Difficulty and bitterness hate the frost on the temples, and the wine glass becomes turbid when the new wine stops."

The pen moves like a dragon and a snake, and the tip of the pen is like a sword.

In an instant, a song "Climbing High" appeared on the page.

"Go and give it to your master."
