"Brother, this is my Changlefang. Although it is a little remote, it has the best dancers, the most versatile technicians, and the most moving singers in Chang'an City. It is a paradise for all literati and poets! What do you think of it?" Li Bai introduced very proudly.
Long Junhai looked around and said, "It's indeed a good place. How much profit do you make a month here?"
Li Bai smiled upon hearing this and said, "Money doesn't matter at all. Isn't life all about happiness? I've never done a thorough calculation. I've left it all to the people below me. Basically, I can make over 100 million in net profit a month, and sometimes even more during festivals."
Long Junhai nodded when he heard this. The business here was indeed good, so he asked again, "Brother Li, you should have saved quite a bit over the years, right? I'm in urgent need of money right now, so I'd like to borrow some from you."
"As for savings, I don't really have much. Basically, I spend all my money on buying wine. After all, good wine is rare, so the money I have saved over the years is not much, only a few billion left. I was also thinking of buying a few bottles of imperial tribute wine during the New Year. But since you are short of money, take it all. But from now on, I will have to ask you for money when I drink!" Li Bai said with a smile.
"Of course there is no problem with that, but the imperial tribute wine you drink is definitely not as good as mine. I happen to have a few bottles here, all of which are fine wines that are thousands of years old." Long Junhai smiled and took out a bottle of white wine he brewed himself.
"Huh? How dare you say your wine is better than the imperial tribute wine? You have to know that the lowest grade of imperial tribute wine has to be over ten thousand years old!"
Li Bai was half-believing and half-doubting. He had been drinking for so many years, but had never tasted any other wine that could surpass the imperial tribute wine.
"Haha, no matter how long the age is, it is not an absolutely important factor. The key is the recipe! The alcohol content of my wine is higher than that of ordinary wine. You will get drunk if you drink it!" Long Junhai reminded again.
"Haha, what's the big deal? I've been able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk for years. Apart from the best imperial tribute wine, no other alcohol can make me drunk!"
Li Bai couldn't help but open the bottle of wine. Immediately, the aroma of wine filled the air, and everyone in Changlefang could clearly smell this special aroma.
"Hmm? It's really special! What kind of wine is this?" Li Bai was shocked and asked excitedly.
"This is Beauty Drunk. After drinking it, you can see countless beauties dancing." Long Junhai made up a name casually. He himself had been drinking it for so many years but had never come up with a decent name.
"Beauty Drunk? Very good! Let's try it first to see how it tastes."
As Li Bai spoke, he took out his treasured wine glass, carefully poured a small cup into it, and then put it to his lips to taste it slowly.
Drinking is all about emotion. First, you need to cultivate your emotions, and then drink according to your own emotions. When the emotions are there, whether you drink it all in one gulp or just take a sip, it is considered a kind of taste.
Li Bai had never drunk this kind of wine before, so he took a small sip, and his whole spirit was lifted up at once. The comfortable and joyful feeling made all the pores in his body tremble!
"Haha! Good wine! It's really different! I've never tasted such good wine!" Li Bai said with a smile.
Long Junhai smiled upon hearing this, and then said, "Although the wine is delicious, don't drink too much! For your first time, three cups will be enough."
"That's right! I know my limits!" Li Bai said this, but he drank faster and faster. In just a blink of an eye, he had finished the second glass and the third glass was full. He obviously didn't care about Long Junhai's reminder.
Long Junhai shook his head helplessly. If the other party continued to drink like this, he would probably faint soon!
However, what Long Junhai did not expect was that as soon as Li Bai picked up the wine glass and drank the third glass, he fell backwards uncontrollably and fell to the ground with a thud.
Long Junhai was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party fainted after drinking two cups!
It seems that the people in the fairy world have no resistance to Long Junhai's wine recipe!
In desperation, Long Junhai could only take Li Bai back to his room to rest. Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, it would probably take at least a day or two for him to wake up.
Out of boredom, Long Junhai wandered around Changlefang. He found that the singers and dancers here were indeed much better than those in other brothels. They were not on the same level at all. The literati and poets watching below were also very polite. There was no noisy feeling. Many people were discussing poetry and articles here, as if it was an academic exchange meeting.
Long Junhai had wanted to ask Li Bai some questions about the cultivation of literature and Taoism, but seeing the other party's appearance, he probably would have to wait a few days before asking.
When Long Junhai had nothing to do, he flipped through the books in the room. When he first read some articles, he didn't feel anything special, but later when he saw an introduction to literature, he was immediately interested.
This article, "An Introduction to Literature and Taoism", was Li Bai's own note and was not available in any major libraries or the imperial palace. However, it was precisely because of this that Long Junhai was very surprised, because the various viewpoints expounded in it solved the puzzles in his heart.
Long Junhai began to sit down and study this introduction to literature and Taoism carefully. From the opening introduction, Long Junhai learned that this so-called pioneer of literature and Taoism was actually created by Emperor Taizong of Tang. He established the imperial examination system, founded the Six Ministries, and gave everyone a brand new cultivation system. If one wants to become a cultivator of literature and Taoism, he must first worship the saints in the Confucian Temple and place his own soul jade slips in it. Then the saints of heaven will examine his qualifications and give an assessment. In this way, he can naturally form his own literary and Taoist talent. After having talent, he can create articles and poems, accumulate talent, and continue to advance.
However, from Emperor Taizong to the present, the true representatives are people like Li Bai and Du Fu. This shows that the path of literary practice is still very difficult.
"No wonder I can't use Wen Dao attacks. Even if I use immortal energy to simulate them, it doesn't have much effect. It turns out I haven't even started learning Wen Dao yet!"
Long Junhai muttered to himself with sudden enlightenment, he finally found the direction of practicing Wen Dao. If he could successfully enter Wen Dao, he should have more potential for development!
Long Junhai read the book carefully several times. When he came to his senses, he found that Li Bai was standing behind him.
"Brother Li, you're awake!" Long Junhai was startled. He was so obsessed with his research that he didn't even notice there was someone behind him.
Li Bai smiled and said, "You're reading quite seriously, kid. I drank your wine and slept for a whole day and night. When I woke up, I found you reading here. It's been three days now. I don't know what's so interesting about this most ordinary book on literature and Taoism?"
