I open a tavern in the Three Realms

The man seemed to be enjoying this moment of tranquility. While drinking beer and tasting peanuts, he would nod from time to time to praise Yun Ting for his good craftsmanship.

Yun Ting, on the other hand, didn't drink a single drop, just silently watching him drink and eat from the opposite side.In my heart, I was thinking about some unknown things.

The bearded man drank three and a half cups of beer before putting down his chopsticks, and said to Yun Ting with a smile, "Nephew, drink it! What's the matter? Look down on the old uncle, or don't give the old uncle face..."

"Uncle, I can drink by myself anytime. You should drink more when you come back from a long distance to visit relatives." Yun Ting said with red eyes.

The middle-aged man in front of him didn't look very good, he was a little pale, and there were slight beads of sweat on his forehead.

He is a bit burly, with a lot of flesh on both sides of his square face, whether it is obesity or edema.After drinking a few glasses of wine, his originally pale face gradually turned red.

"Ah, why did you let me finish drinking alone? This, this..."

The man finally realized that Yun Ting poured all the beer in front of him.And the drunkard peanuts and cold cucumbers on the table were all eaten by himself.

The amount of these foods is small, and it is estimated that it is only enough for a lady who is dieting to lose weight.But for a big man, it's really not enough to stuff the teeth, let alone it's so delicious.

Immediately afterwards, the man smiled heartily and said, "Hahaha, it's all because my nephew is so good at cooking. The old man forgot to ask you to drink while he was eating..."

"Uncle, eating happily is more important than anything else. If you don't have enough peanuts, I'll give you some more."

Yun Ting's eyes were sharp, and when he looked up and laughed, he saw the scar under his collarbone through his open lapel T-shirt.

Round, about the width of two fingers, the scar is red with white, it should be some years old.As a veteran, he knew what caused the scar with just one glance.

"Let's have another pint of beer. You can drink with me. Otherwise, I won't drink it. Liquor, let's drink it next time. How about it?" the bearded man thought for a while and said.

"Okay! I'll accompany you, I must have fun today!" Yun Ting got up immediately, went to the bar to scan the QR code to pay, and then went to the kitchen.

"Xiaoyun is a man now. He is cautious and polite in dealing with others. Okay, very good!"

The bearded man looked at Yun Ting's elegant back, and sighed after drinking the last sip of beer.

Once drinking wine, people like to sigh with emotion.The same goes for men.Many unknown past events from many years ago are ruthlessly rolling in his mind at this moment.

Especially when he saw Yun Ting's melancholy eyes and his lonely and handsome back, his chest felt like a stone was pressed against it, it was uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do...

"Uncle, the wine is here! Let me toast you first!"

After a while, Yun Ting walked over with a tray in one hand and a bottle of Red Star Erguotou in the other and said.

After putting down the beer, peanuts, and cucumber salad, he sat down and unscrewed the cap of the baijiu bottle, filled himself with a glass of baijiu, and then drank it down in one gulp!

These movements are like running water, done in one go, within one minute before and after, so fast that even the bearded beard who moved nimbly back then was amazed.

"My nephew is a good drinker...Hey, this wine glass is very unique! It looks like a wine glass from an ancient dynasty!"

The man came back to his senses, tried his best to suppress his wild emotions, and said to Yun Ting with a smile.

"Well, it is indeed custom-made after the blue-glazed cups of the ancient court! Uncle, if your body can't bear it, you can drink puree beer. I will drink white wine to accompany you."

After Yun Ting filled the man with a glass of raw beer, he filled himself with a glass of white wine.

"Okay! Young people are refreshing! Don't you know that back then, your dad and I could drink several bottles of high-grade liquor at a time, or that kind of big porcelain cup... Forget it, the hero doesn't mention the brave. Drinking, drink wine……"

The man felt that he was going to slip up, so he braked quickly and changed the subject.

"I respect you!"

Yun Ting raised his glass calmly and said.

The man picked up the oval-shaped beer glass and clinked glasses with Yun Ting.Yun Ting lowered the cup in his hand, and the two cups collided with each other, making a crisp sound of "clang".

"Xiaoyun, what are your plans for the future?" The man put down his glass and asked seriously.

"I, in the past few years, I just want to make the tavern stronger and better, and then make more money. As the saying goes, I stand at thirty, so I'd better stand up first! I don't think too much about other things!" Yun Ting sandwiched a peanut Mi said seriously.

"Well, people need dreams, but also put them into action. Uncle believes that you can do it."

"Thank you uncle!"

"By the way, I see why no one lives in your neighbors? Are they not at home? The old street is much deserted than before..." the man said with great emotion.

Over the years, including today, I have only been to Lao Cai three times in total.And every time he came to Yunting's house as a guest.Only this time, there was no more laughter, no company from the brothers.

He still remembered that when Yun Ting was one year old, several of his brothers came to Yun's house to have a drink on vacation, the neighbors, and even the whole old street came to Yun's house to celebrate.He will remember that lively and warm and happy scene all his life.

It's a pity... there are only a few brothers who were born and died in the dozen or so numbers, and they are all missing arms and legs.It was only me who could barely support this nephew who was not related by blood, but hit it off right away, and even felt closer than his own nephew for a few drinks.

"Uncle, I heard from other neighbors that they went to other provinces to do business. The house has been empty for many years."

Yun Ting sighed and said, "I originally wanted to sell the house and go out to live. Later, by chance, I opened this tavern."

"Xiao Yun, I really hope that you will take good care of this ancestral property for your father. When I have the opportunity to come to Old Street in the future, I can still have a place to stay."

"Uncle, don't worry. I will. I will never leave again. I won't go anywhere, just run this tavern here. I welcome you to guide the work at any time."

"How dare I guide you! You are much better than me! You really are better than blue!" the man said with great satisfaction.

"Junior, here's another toast to uncle! Uncle, just do whatever you want!" Yun Ting picked up the blue-glazed cup and drank from it.

The man nodded and watched silently as he drank the wine in the glass. He then picked up the oval-shaped beer glass and drank half of it before putting it down and saying, "Xiaoyun, you opened a shop in the old street. How is the business? Is there anyone there?" Making things difficult for you, or deliberately causing trouble for you?"

Yun Ting put down the empty glass, filled him with beer, and filled himself with a glass of white wine, "Uncle, everything is going well. The business has just started, so it's a bit tricky to sell. But I'm confident that I can hang up the signboard and put the tavern business is booming.”

"Xiaoyun, if you have any needs, just ask uncle, don't be polite to me. I will do my best to help you."

"Uncle, I don't have any needs. I think I am safe now, and I am content to run a tavern that can solve food and clothing. I really hope that uncle can be healthy and live a long life!"

"You kid, you can really talk. Come on, let's have another drink..."

"I respect you!"

The old and the young clinked glasses again, and they all had a tacit understanding not to mention Yunting's father's story.Just casually chatting about homework, life, and the unattainable ideal.

Yun Ting didn't bother to ask the man's home address or his surname, just based on his feeling, he concluded that this man must be his father's life and death brother!It must have been kept in the desk drawer in my father's bedroom, one of the ones in the group photo!
After drinking a glass of wine, the conversation between the two of them gradually opened up, and they could chat about some light topics.There were also more laughter than before, and the atmosphere was much more harmonious.

Yun Ting also changed his previous cold face and reticence, and his facial expression was more of a smile and concern.

The man's complexion also improved, I don't know if it was because of excitement or because of drinking.The complexion is rosy, the smile is pleasant, and the whole person looks very amiable.

After chatting for a while, Yun Ting went to the kitchen to fry up a piece of spicy beef, a piece of chili fried pork, and a piece of three fresh soup.

The two chatted while drinking and eating vegetables, and the more they chatted, the more speculative they became.Those who didn't know really thought it was uncle and nephew, eating, drinking and chatting at home!

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.Both of them had finished their wine, as well as the cucumber salad and the drunkard peanuts.There were not much left of the three dishes that Yun Ting had cooked.

"Uncle is happy today, really. I haven't been this happy for a long time. My nephew's wine is delicious, and the food is delicious. I don't think this business will be popular in the future." The man put down his chopsticks and said from the bottom of his heart.

His expression was very serious, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't say something, as uncomfortable as a stick in his throat.

"It's my nephew's greatest honor to drink and eat to my heart's content!" Yun Ting also said sincerely.

There were some things he wanted to ask, but he didn't dare.I could only look at him quietly like this, hoping to wait for him to tell the truth after drinking.

Just when the man was about to speak, the cell phone in his pocket rang suddenly.He picked up the phone and glanced at the caller ID, hung up the phone, and sighed: "Oh, I'm old! I can't drink as much as I used to! I'm a little drunk, I want to go back and have a rest..."

"Uncle, I'll take you back!"

Finally seizing the opportunity, Yun Ting immediately got up and went to the bar to get his cell phone and door keys.

"Don't bother my nephew. It was my child who called just now, and he was waiting for me at the crossroad ahead. I'll just walk a few steps, and take a look at the changes in the old street over the years..." The man stood up with a happy face laughed.

"Then I'll take you to the door!"

Yun Ting hesitated for a moment, put down the phone and keys and said.

"Row!"

The man grabbed Yun Ting's big hand and walked to the gate together.Yun Ting felt the strength and warmth of these rough hands, and there was a slight warmth in his heart.

"Xiaoyun, come on! Uncle will always pay attention to you!"

When the man walked to the door, it was like a different person.As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately withdrew his hand, and then strode away.

He didn't stop until he reached the corner of the old street, looked back at the familiar yet unfamiliar street scene, and said with red eyes: "Goodbye, young man..."
