For some reasons, Lu Junchang and Jin Yanli decided not to open an inn in Lijiang before the Spring Festival. Lu Junchang and his father-in-law Jin Chonggui also settled their accounts. Everyone was ready to break up.

It's just that their inn in Lijiang has not been sublet yet. It is still open temporarily, and they are just waiting for others to take over, and then they can get rid of it completely.

During the Spring Festival, business was pretty good. I made a small profit and successfully transferred the inn.

Lu Junchang and Jin Yanli considered that in September, their son would also go to elementary school. Then they saw that Zhao Mingyue had been transferred down the mountain. Both of them were still working in Zhongguozhuang. They still had some ideas in their minds.

.

So, Lu Junchang and Jin Yanli used the money they earned from running an inn to buy a house in the county. They planned to decorate it so that it would be convenient for their children to study. In addition, they also tried their best to find some ways to help their children go to school in September.

Before primary school, Jin Yanli should be transferred down the mountain. Of course, if both of them can be transferred down, that would be ideal.

Jin Chonggui, who came back from Lijiang, played cards for a few days during the Spring Festival and completely let himself go. With some money in his pocket, he felt more confident about playing cards. He no longer bothered to hang out with people who played cards for 5 yuan.

I think it's a waste of time and meaningless. If you want to call, the price starts at 50 yuan.

During the Spring Festival, I played from New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the lunar month, with some wins and losses. Overall, I won tens of thousands of yuan. This made Jin Chonggui feel that life was extremely satisfying.

It's just that the fifth day of the Lunar New Year has passed. Those who should be doing business have gone to do business, and those who should be working have gone out to work. Jin Chonggui hasn't thought clearly about what project to do for a while.

Jin Chonggui, who was naturally idle at home, accidentally got together with professional gamblers in the society. After playing a few games of cards, he actually won tens of thousands of yuan.

He even felt that he was "possessed by the God of Gamblers" and had found a way to get rich quickly. From time to time, he would go to his younger brother Jin Chongming's house to show off his "results" and encourage his younger brother Jin Chongming to "have fun" with him.

Jin Chongming has a clear understanding of gambling. He always advises his third brother: "Nine times out of ten you bet, you will lose, and you should stop when you are good." The implication is to advise your third brother to withdraw as soon as you win some money.

Don't keep doing this.

Jin Chonggui kept disapproving of his younger brother's kind advice, and even made fun of his younger brother. The longer he lived, the less courageous he became. His thoughts were too conservative and too pedantic.

Zhang Xuefen also advised the third brother: "Third uncle, if you win a little, just put it in your bag. Don't do it. What if this is a trap set for you? Let me give you a little sweetness first.

When the time comes, I might even pour out the extra money and transfer it to you."

After everyone tried to persuade him, Jin Chonggui temporarily restrained himself.

Jin Chongming helped Jin Chonggui analyze the situation. Finally, Jin Chonggui decided to invest in and open a winery in Zhongpu. Firstly, he had unique conditions for baking wine, and he basically learned the technology of baking wine at his brother's house. Secondly,

Zhongpu is a large ethnic town, and the Yi people like to drink. Thirdly, there is no winery in Zhongpu. Basically, the wine sold in the market is brought from Xigui. More importantly, Zhongpu

There is a large amount of land, which mainly produces cereals.

This is indeed a good investment project. Jin Chongming used his personal connections to quickly help the third brother contact the venue for opening a winery. He also helped the third brother go to Zhongpu and sign the venue rental agreement.

Soon the site was converted into a winery. After everything was ready, he guided the third brother and third sister-in-law to bake wine. Ten days later, the first tank of wine was successfully tested.

The people of Zhongpu have a special liking for Xigui Baijiu. Their warm welcome boosted Jin Chonggui's determination to establish a winery in Zhongpu. The first vat of wine was baked and sold out by everyone.

.

This was the scene for ten consecutive days. However, Jin Chonggui calculated the cost and found that it was not profitable.

This made Jin Chongming a little confused. Logically speaking, it should make money. Why do you say this? Because the coal of Jin Chonggui's winery was purchased by Zhongpu, and the price was lower than that of Xigui. The corn was also purchased by Zhongpu, and the price was still lower than that of Xigui.

Xigui is cheap. The price of the produced wine is the same as the wine sold by Xigui, which also saves transportation costs. In addition, the price of zongzi is more expensive than that of Xigui. The money just from selling zongzi is more than enough.

The land offsets the coal money.

Since the cost is so low, why aren't we still making money? Soon, everyone found out the reason. Because the temperature in Zhongpu is lower than that in Xigui. Jin Chonggui and the others still followed the technical standards of Xigui.

production. Therefore, it directly leads to a reduction in wine production.

The reason was found. Jin Chongming helped his brother and tried several new wine-baking technical solutions. He figured out a solution for the control of temperature and humidity, the amount of koji used, the fermentation time in the cellar, etc.

Develop new plans to adapt to the Chinese general education environment.

This is good. Not only is the amount of wine produced higher than that in Zhongpu, but the quality of the wine is also better. Perhaps the improvement in wine quality has a lot to do with the water in Zhongpu.

If Jin Chonggui just bakes and sells wine peacefully, then within a few years, his wealth will definitely accumulate from 6 digits to 7 digits.

However, Jin Chonggui changed. Ever since he made friends with those gamblers, he was destined to fail miserably.

Those gamblers are like ghosts who knock bones and suck marrow. How can they let a big fish like him eat the bait and escape completely?

The gambler hadn't seen Jin Chonggui for a while, so he looked around for his whereabouts. Finally, he learned that Jin Chonggui had gone to Zhongpu to open a winery. And the business of the winery was pretty good, with hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue every day.

net profit.

Calculated in this way, it is only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per month. If you work for a year, you will still have 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. A sneer that is hard to detect appears on the faces of the gamblers. They can't wait to start harvesting...

Under Jin Chonggui's warm invitation, all the gambling friends pretended to come to his winery to visit. They greatly praised the business of Jin Chonggui and Yao Kailan...

In the eyes of Jin Chonggui and Yao Kailan, these people are not ordinary friends, but the "gods of wealth" of their family. Because since Jin Chonggui got to know them, he easily won almost all the money in less than a month.

Fifty thousand yuan back. Compared with working hard for a day and sweating a lot to earn 1,280 yuan, it is really not on the same level.

A friend came, and he was a friend like the God of Wealth. Naturally, he had to entertain him well. Jin Chonggui proposed to kill a pig and treat it to everyone.

All the gamblers were really considerate and allowed guests to do as they pleased. Everyone was busy and went to a nearby villager's house to pick out a black-gold pig. Soon after returning to the winery, they were sharpening their knives to the pig.

When a white knife went in, unexpectedly no red knife came out. Normally, everyone would think this is unlucky. But in Jin Chonggui's opinion, this is exactly a "good omen".

As the saying goes, even if a knife is stabbed into the body, not a drop of blood will come out. It seems that it indicates that Jin Chonggui will continue to have good gambling luck.

Since there was no bleeding after the knife was inserted, it did not affect everyone's eating of meat. Yao Kailan soon handed him a thin hemp rope.

Jin Chonggui took the thin hemp rope and directly tied the pig's mouth and four hooves tightly. All the gamblers helped Jin Chonggui to throw the tightly tied pig into the hot pot that had just been released from the wine roasting pot.

of roasted wine and steamed feet in water.

The poor little Wujin pig struggled painfully in the almost mushy steamed foot water mixed with corn starch and drowned to death. The pain cannot be expressed in words.

Jin Chonggui smiled and joined other gamblers, using tongs and a hoe to fish out the drowned piglet from the paste, pour some cold water on it, quickly remove the pig hair, clean it with clean water, and open the intestines

Break the belly and put the meat into the pot...

After having enough wine and meat, the gambling friends advised Jin Chonggui to "relax, relax, have fun, have fun..."

Jin Chonggui pretended to ask Yao Kailan if he agreed to go. Yao Kailan knew in his heart that her husband was going to "play cards". Thinking of the tempting "red ticket", Yao Kailan naturally approved Jin Chonggui to go and play with a smile.

…

That night, Jin Chonggui played all night before coming back.

Yao Kailan waited for Jin Chonggui all night, but Jin Chonggui did not come back. This made Yao Kailan a little worried. She really wanted to call Jin Chonggui and ask if he was coming back.

However, she was afraid that her phone call would dazzle the man. Think about it, her man has been in the world for a long time and has never seen anything in the world. He has a sense of how to play.

Sure enough, at dawn, Jin Chonggui came back triumphantly, humming a ditty.

As soon as he entered the house, Jin Chonggui asked Yao Kailan to close the door mysteriously, then opened his leather jacket and took out two bundles of "red tickets" tied with rubber bands from his left and right pockets.

.

Forty thousand! Oh my God! One night, my man won another forty thousand. Yao Kailan was so happy and excited that he couldn't help but hug Jin Chonggui, nibble and kiss him...

After some passion, Yao Kailan collected the money. Jin Chonggui was still a little old after all, and after the passion, he was so tired that he fell asleep.

Yao Kailan put away the money, tidied up briefly, and went to make wine again. While making wine, he sighed.

"It's really tiring to bake wine. If I have this luck every day and work for a few months, I will learn from those rich people and enjoy themselves! I will never do this hard work again..."

However, after Jin Chonggui woke up naturally from his sleep, he made some food and ate it, and no longer had any intention of making wine.

All he could see and think about were the people at the gambling table shouting and drinking, placing a lot of bets, and making a lot of money...

He even called his gambling friends in a hurry and invited them to play.

The gambler's reply was that he had something to do and went to Kunming to play. There was a more interesting place there. He also told him that he had a little sister who was so tender that she would get wet when pinched...

The gambler's words made Jin Chonggui feel distraught. The more he looked at Yao Kailan, the more he disliked her...

"Alas!" Jin Chonggui couldn't help but sigh.

"Lao Jin, where are you sighing?"

"Nothing. Nothing."

…

One day passed.

Two days have passed.

…

On the fifth day, a gambling friend called Jin Chonggui. He said that his eldest brother had made appointments with many big bosses and was going to come to Haichang to have some fun. He asked Jin Chonggui if he was interested in coming over to have some fun.

As he spoke, he conveyed a message to Jin Chonggui intentionally or unintentionally. That is, these big bosses that the eldest brother dated were just idiots. They are stupid and have a lot of money...

However, I also passed on some information to Jin Chonggui. These big bosses all play big games. If you don’t have two or three hundred thousand in your pocket, don’t go. Otherwise, you will go to the card table and lose both your wallets after just a few games.

Well, it's a bit embarrassing.

Just when Jin Chonggui heard such a big scene and began to hesitate, the gambler fanned the flames for Jin Chonggui again, conveying the message that if he missed this village, there would be no store. He also promised that he and Jin Chonggui were good brothers who were closer than real brothers.

If you have money, let's win together. If you want to get rich, let's get rich together. The opportunity is really rare. There are only a few chances in life, so it's better to give it a try...

The phone call made Jin Chonggui full of passion.

After hanging up the phone, Jin Chonggui briefly explained the situation to Yao Kailan. He said that his brothers asked him to go to Haichang to have fun, and it was a rare opportunity.

Yao Kailan actually saw Jin Chonggui come back with almost 100,000 yuan. She was still dreaming about getting rich. She had to pack Jin Chonggui's luggage quickly.
