Chen Lang divides distilled liquor into three grades: low, medium and high.

The lowest gear is 42 degrees, the middle gear is 52 degrees, and the highest gear is 60 degrees.

Of course, without professional measuring equipment, the degree will definitely not be so accurate.

These three gears were determined by Chen Lang based on his feelings.

But in his previous life, Chen Lang liked to drink and was quite sensitive to the alcohol content.

So these three gears should be roughly the same.

After about one kilogram of wine was steamed from each of the three grades, Chen Lang brought them to Guhong Tower again.

The owner of Guhonglou didn't expect that Chen Lang could make the wine so quickly. He even thought that he bought the finished product directly from the winery.

Chen Lang didn't explain much and directly opened the cork of the wine jug.

The rich aroma of wine instantly stunned the shopkeeper.

Having sold wine for many years, the shopkeeper has smelled and tasted all kinds of wine.

But this is the first time I have encountered wine with such a strong aroma.

The two wineries in Linshui are definitely not able to brew wine of this level!

Even in the entire Dayan, no one can brew this kind of wine.

At this moment, the shopkeeper truly believed that the wine was brewed by Chen Lang.

But then again, smell is only one aspect; the most important thing about wine is its taste.

The shopkeeper brought three cups and tasted them one by one.

Seeing that he had filled every glass, Chen Lang kindly reminded him, "Boss, just take a sip."

The shopkeeper asked, "Are you afraid I'll get drunk?"

"Little brother, I'm known for being able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Even though your wine smells delicious, it's not that easy to knock me down."

Chen Lang pointed at the low-alcohol wine and said, "How about you start with this, boss?"

The shopkeeper picked up the 60-proof wine and said, "This is the most fragrant."

Then drink it all...

Chen Lang gave a thumbs up: "Awesome."

After a while.

"Hah...ha...hh...ha..."

The shopkeeper's face was red and his eyes were even red. He looked like a boiled crab.

Chen Lang asked with a smile, "Boss, how is it?"

The shopkeeper let out a long breath: "What a strong wine."

Chen Lang added, "Would you like to try the other two kinds of wine?"

The shopkeeper looked terrified and said, "These two wines can't be that strong."

Chen Lang said: "That's not possible. Both of these wines are relatively mild."

The shopkeeper thought that the taste of these two wines was indeed not as strong as the one he had just drunk, and the taste should be lighter.

But he learned his lesson this time and did not drink it all at once, but only took a sip.

After tasting it carefully, the shopkeeper's eyes were as bright as the foreheads of two monks.

"What a drink!"

"With these two kinds of wine, Guhong Tower is saved!"

"But there's not enough time..."

The shopkeeper was ecstatic at one moment and sad at the next, his whole body twisted like a pretzel.

Chen Lang didn't say anything and let the shopkeeper walk around in circles.

The shopkeeper was already drunk, and after turning around twice, he felt even more dizzy. He hurriedly sat down at the table and asked the waiter to get him a pot of tea to help him sober up.

"Mr. Chen, the three kinds of wine you brewed are all top-quality. The first one is suitable for us in Dayan, and the Liao people will definitely like the last two."

"Any other time, I would have cooperated with you even if it meant I had to lose everything I had."

"But I don't have that much time right now. No matter how good this wine is...it's impossible to earn two thousand taels in the remaining time."

Chen Lang said, "Boss, I've told you that leaving the money-making to me, you just need to cooperate with me."

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said, "That's true, but this matter ultimately concerns my ancestral property. I can't help but worry."

"Sir, can you tell me the truth? What should we do next?"

Chen Lang said, "I have two promotion plans here. I'll share them with you for your reference."

The shopkeeper said repeatedly, "Sir, please speak."

Chen Lang said: "The first plan is to hold a wine tasting competition."

"Drink 4 liang of the first one, 3 liang of the second one, and 2 liang of the third one."

"If you can stay calm, you can drink for free at Guhong Tower for three days."

"If word spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, your fame will naturally spread."

The shopkeeper frowned and said, "Although the method is good, it is a bit indecent."

"My tavern, as you can see, is elegant. Your method is a bit vulgar."

"And even if this method succeeds, the demand for wine will be huge. Can you supply it?"

"So let's listen to your second solution."

Chen Lang smiled and said, "The second method is to carry out elegance to the end."

"First, let's get the foreigners. Such a fine wine naturally can't be stored in ordinary vessels. It needs to be stored in the finest porcelain bottles."

"I'm new to Linshui and don't have any experience in this area, so I'll have to trouble the shopkeeper to help me."

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "That's no problem. I'll go find someone and make a batch of porcelain within three days."

Chen Lang said, "Secondly, it's all about the hype. We have to find a way to attract people to the store and make purchases."

"In ancient times, people paid a fortune for horse bones. Let us also pay a fortune for the second stanza of a poem."

"I will write the first stanza of a poem. If anyone can come up with the second stanza, I will reward him with a thousand taels of silver."

The shopkeeper's mouth twitched, and he said, "Sir, I don't mean to question your literary talent, but I want to make it difficult for people to come up with the next stanza. The level of this poem must be extraordinary."

Chen Lang smiled calmly and said, "Do you have any writing materials?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly asked the waiter to bring writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone.

Chen Lang picked up his pen and quickly finished the first stanza.

The shopkeeper came over and read it out to himself.

"When will the bright moon appear? I raise my cup to ask the blue sky. I wonder what year it is in the palace of heaven. I want to ride the wind home, but I fear the jade buildings are too cold up there. I dance with my shadow, how can it be like being in the human world?"

This timeless masterpiece "Water Melody: When Will the Bright Moon Appear" by Su Dongpo is a nuclear weapon in the poetry world, no matter where in time and space it is placed.

The more educated a person is, the more he can feel the power of this poem.

And this is only the first stanza!

If the first stanza is so fierce, how terrifying must the whole piece be?

The shopkeeper finally understood why Chen Lang dared to say with such confidence, "I will spend a fortune to buy this piece."

The shopkeeper cannot guarantee whether anyone in Dayan can write the second half of this poem, but it is certain that no one in Linshui can write it.

The shopkeeper stood up, bowed to Chen Lang, and said, "Young Master, you are truly talented! I admire you!"
