There is a he's distillery in Shuanggou Town, which is named Donggou Daqu. Since this is the only family with no semicolon, the business is not bad. He Jiushi ordered two people: one was his only daughter, Qiong Mei, who was beautiful and smart. She helped her father run the wine shop all the way around; the other was a poor man in Shuanggou Town, named Qu Ge. His parents died early and lived alone. He is kind-hearted and quick at work. Besides steaming wine, he often goes to the distillery to carry water and chop wood, which is quite trusted by master he. Soon, Qiong Mei has a heart of love for brother qu. they make a vow to love each other forever. When master he knew about it, he felt that the door was not right and the household was not right. He would never agree to the marriage. He also used an excuse to drive brother Qu out.

Qu Ge left he's family, living in a state of hopelessness, and he was unhappy all day. On the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, when there was a temple fair in Xishan, Shuanggou, he went to Baoen temple to ask for a card. Passing by Xigou cliff, he met an old woman who fell into a deep ditch. He jumped into the bottom of the ditch, helped her up, and carried her back to his own hut. He treated the old man as well as his mother. Helpless, the family is poor, for a long time, really can not afford to eat with two mouths. Seeing that he was very embarrassed, his wife took an excuse to visit relatives in Huainan. Before leaving, he said to brother Qu, "you can't repay me for saving my life. There's a gold hairpin on my bun. It's my dowry. It's not on my head now. Maybe it was lost when I fell down Xigou. You can go and look for it and sell it off. It's also my reward to you. " Then he left the hut and disappeared. The next day, brother Qu took his tools to the place where the old woman fell down at the bottom of the West ditch. He dug up carefully. After a long time, he didn't find the hairpin. Instead, he found a green slate. He looked at it curiously and was overjoyed. It turns out that this is a clear spring, and there are three clear words on the spring wall: "Xigou spring". Qu Ge took a sip of spring water and tasted it. He felt sweet, cool and refreshing. He said to himself, "I haven't wasted all my time." Since brother Qu was driven out of the house, sister Qiong has been out of her mind all day, crying. Coincidentally, on the day that Qu Ge found Xigou spring, she took advantage of her father's unprepared and sneaked out of the wine shop to look for Qu Ge, until the sun was about to set, and then found him by Xigou spring. When they met, they were both sad and happy. When they were in love, they just heard a "plop". It turned out that a bottle of "Donggou Daqu" brought by Qiong Mei fell into Xigou spring, and immediately smelled the aroma of the wine in the spring. When they reported it, they thought it was ten times more beautiful than Donggou Daqu. At this time, the lover suddenly realized: why don't we start a new stove, draw this Xigou spring water to make wine, and compare it with Donggou Daqu? She made up her mind to do it. She took out her private money and sold her jewelry to make up her capital. Before long, a Xigou distillery was set up to brew excellent wine. It was named "Xigou Daqu" after the spring. As Xigou distillery has good wine and kind people, its business has been booming. In less than half a year, its reputation has surpassed that of Donggou distillery, which has been open for many years. At this time, brother Dian is not what he used to be. He became the boss of Xigou distillery. Boss he is old and his business is declining. After being matched up, he is willing to marry his daughter to brother Qu. Qu Ge does not remember the past, decided to combine the two into one, two wine shop into one. The wine produced is more perfect, so it is named "Shuanggou Daqu".
