There was a wine seller in Wan'an County (Jiangxi) who became rich by virtue of his superb wine-making technology. Never bully others in your life. If you meet a slave or maid sent by (the master) to buy wine, you must ask: "Can you drink?" (And according to the amount of alcohol the slave or maid said) pour them as much wine as possible (drink), and tell them: "Ten million Don't steal the wine from the bottle, otherwise you will be whipped by your master. "Sometimes when a (servant or maid) falls and breaks a wine vessel, he always takes out the bottle from his house, refills the wine, and lets (the slave). , maid) take it back. Therefore, people near and far praised him as a virtuous man.

Whenever someone in the village pools money to drink, they always gather in his tavern. People in the village got together to drink together many times, discussing things and being unable to make decisions, sighing at each other, and most of them looked ugly. The wine seller asked: "Why do you get together to drink together many times, unable to make decisions when discussing things, and sighing at each other?" The people who gathered to drink said: "We provided guarantee for A to borrow money from B, and A If you are willing to repay the loan after the deadline, you will be sued. If you are sued, you will lose everything, and the matter will involve us, and our family will not be able to stop!" The wine seller asked: "How much did you guarantee?" The person drinking together replied, "The principal and interest are one to four hundred taels." The wine seller said, "What's there to worry about?" He immediately took out four hundred taels to help them repay the loan without asking for a IOU.

A man was walking on the road carrying a lot of things in his pockets. He encountered heavy snow and could not move on. I heard that the wine seller was a virtuous person, so I quickly stayed at his house. It snowed for several days, and the wine seller asked his customers to gamble with him every day, and used the money he won to buy wine and eat and drink together. Most of the time, the customers lose their bets and say privately, "The wine seller is not a virtuous person? However, I have lost my bet, so I want to eat and drink and spend the money I won." After the snow stopped, , the guest cashed in the money he lost in gambling and was ready to leave. The wine seller smiled and said: "How can the host ask the guests' money to buy wine and meat? It's very cold. If it's not in the name of game, the guest (you) will definitely not be willing to eat and drink." The wine seller said The guest's winnings were returned to him in full.

There was an alchemist (a person who practiced divination) who talked about the five elements and judged that the wine seller was going to die. When the time for death was approaching, as judged by the alchemist, he held a banquet and summoned the owners of the fields and houses he had purchased. He said, "Are you willing to buy your fields and houses if I buy them? You didn't lose the price, right?" ? "Those who want to redeem will pay the price in cash according to the original contract price. If the price is unfair. He also called all those who had borrowed money from him and said, "How much money did you borrow, how much principal and interest?" If someone can repay it, don't ask them to pay interest; if they are poor people, give them the IOU immediately (and don't want them to repay it). , and said: "Don't let my descendants make you suffer for recourse to the loan!" He was so calm, and after that, the wine seller lived for another seven years.

Mr. Wei said: I heard that the liquor seller likes gambling. He and his three sons gamble all day long, and there is no etiquette among family members when they argue. Someone asked him, and he said: "My sons like to play, otherwise they will gamble with others and ruin my family property." Alas, the wine seller is not only a virtuous person, but also a wise person
