The Great Era of Siheyuan

Li Wenqiang rode his tricycle making a lot of rumbling noises all the way. Every time he went a distance, the tricycle would stall and he would have to start all over again.

Li Wenqiang hadn't ridden a motorcycle for a long time, so he was not very comfortable driving it and his motorcycle often misfired. He made a lot of jokes along the way out of the Beimo Factory, and many people looked at him curiously.

However, this did not affect Li Wenqiang's cool image. After all, in an era when bicycles were luxury goods, a three-wheeled motorcycle was equivalent to a luxury car that others could only dream of. People around him were looking at him curiously, like a monkey, which felt a bit strange.

Li Wenqiang parked the car in front of the tavern, locked the car and walked into the tavern. It was almost noon, and the restaurant next to the tavern was already crowded.

With his low-priced vegetable supply, everyone in the tavern was very happy to come here to eat, and the hundreds of kilograms of vegetables every day were completely in short supply.

While any dish in other restaurants costs two, three, four or five yuan, they can still offer vegetables for one or two yuan. It would be strange if they are not popular.

"Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days and you've got a three-wheeled motorcycle. You've upgraded your musket to a cannon, and it's getting better and better!"

Before Li Wenqiang got out of the car, Fan Jinyou, who was free in the tavern, spotted him immediately and walked over with a smile on his face.

"It's strange that you would actually say hello to me, Fan Jinyou, have you come to your senses or figured it out?"

After Li Wenqiang jumped out of the car, he looked at him in surprise. This guy actually took the initiative to greet him after being taught a lesson by him. His mentality was really unusual.

"What are you saying? They say that there is no friendship without fighting. We don't have any major conflicts, right? Didn't I just accidentally sell you some spoiled rice wine? As for you still remembering it, besides, I am the one who suffered the loss, and you are fine!"

Fan Jinyou said nonchalantly.

"That's true. Fine, I forgive you! Is Xu Huizhen in there? I have something to ask her. Go take care of your business first!"

After saying that, Li Wenqiang jumped out of the car and walked inside.

"Hey~ Wait~ Wait! After all, we have met and dealt with each other several times. It's not too much to say a few words, right?"

Seeing that he was about to go in, Fan Jinyou suddenly walked quickly in front of him, stopped him and said something flattering.

"Say something? Okay, I'm listening to what you want to say!"

Li Wenqiang became a little curious and wondered what this guy wanted to do!

Fan Jinyou is a bad guy, he has no conscience, but he likes to be smart. To put it bluntly, except that he is better than Xu Damao at work, his character and ability are far worse.

"Well, let's talk over there. We can't let anyone else hear this!"

Fan Jinyou said in a low voice and pulled him to a corner.

"What's going on? Tell me what's going on. I need to talk to your boss!"

Seeing his cautious look, Li Wenqiang immediately lost the idea of ​​chatting with him. Generally speaking, people who make such expressions and movements during a chat are basically troublesome. He has no interest in listening to Fan Jinyou's trivial matters.

"Well, I just want to ask if you can take a few more of these vegetables. I plan to send some to the leaders of our street office. Although the people are important, the leaders are more important, don't you think?"

Fan Jinyou said with a smile.

"What the hell? Fan Jinyou, are you sick? When did I ever bring you food? Don't talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for defamation!"

Li Wenqiang immediately denied what Fan Jinyou said. He didn't know how this guy knew that he was delivering food to the tavern, but he would definitely not admit it. This guy probably had no good intentions.

"Haha, it's just a small thing, what's there to deny? The last time, it was after you came that the small restaurant had vegetables. Otherwise, there is not even a blade of grass in our kitchen, how could there be so many vegetables? Not to mention that the guy who delivered the vegetables yesterday and this morning rode your bike. I saw it clearly, you can't deny it even if you want to."

Fan Jinyou said very confidently.

"You're mistaken. That bike is not mine now. I've already sold it. Did you see this? I just picked it up from the Beimo factory. The license plate hasn't even been put on it yet! If you have nothing to do, just go away and don't say anything nonsense to me!"

Li Wenqiang pushed him aside and walked straight into the tavern.

"Hey~ Why are you leaving? You're taking advantage of me. I didn't even tell you I was going to cause you trouble. What's wrong with just wanting to order some food from you? Is it necessary to be so heartless?"

When Fan Jinyou saw Li Wenqiang leaving, he started to get anxious.

Li Wenqiang retracted his leg, which had just stepped into the tavern, and looked at him coldly.

"Listen, if you need something, go find someone else. It has nothing to do with me, understand? If you dare to talk about speculation again, don't blame me for beating you. Get out of here!"

Thinking of Li Wenqiang's vicious move last time, Fan Jinyou shuddered all over and involuntarily took a few steps back.

Li Wenqiang warned him and left.

Xu Huizhen, who was entertaining customers in the store, ran over after hearing the noise.

"Why are you here? What happened? Did you quarrel with him again?"

Xu Huizhen looked at Li Wenqiang and asked, then glanced at Fan Jinyou who was at the door.

"This bastard guessed that I was the one who provided you with vegetables. He just pulled me aside and said that he also wanted to send some vegetables to the people in the street office. He also said something about speculation. What a psychopath! I don't know what he wants to do!

Li Wenqiang scolded Fan Jinyou, saying that this guy was really strong in body but simple-minded.

If it was Xu Damao, he would definitely not come directly to me to ask for it. Instead, he would invite me to dinner first and try to find out the answer from the side. Only after he had found out clearly would he carefully bring it up.

This guy wanted something right away. He really doesn't know his identity. He's just a small clerk in the street office. What a shit!

"Don't pay attention to him. He messed up my pub last time and was fired by the street office leader. Now he probably wants to use your stuff to curry favor with the higher-ups and get his position back. But where did these things come from? If Fan Jinyou goes to the street office to report it, I can put all the blame on you!"

Xu Huizhen looked at him seriously and said.

"Don't worry, if you have any problems, just push them to me. I almost forgot, I wanted to ask you what happened to the money. Didn't you say that you would keep it for buying wine? Why did you send the money to me?"

Li Wenqiang looked at her in confusion.

"We don't have enough food right now, and the amount of wine we can produce each month is limited. I've asked around, and I can only produce a thousand kilograms a month. Any more, and I have to give it to others. So I'm powerless to help you with your business now, and I can't help you with that!"

Xu Huizhen waved her hand and said.

The food issue has been a big problem since last year, and it is even more troublesome under the current special circumstances.

"Are you just short of food? Can you ask the people in other taverns to help buy some? Or introduce me to their leaders?"

Li Wenqiang frowned and said.

"I can help you find someone from other taverns to buy wine, but I can't help you introduce them to the winery leaders. We only go there to find the factory's sales staff to buy wine, so I don't know the winery leaders if I want to introduce you to someone, but I can help you ask!"

Xu Huizhen thought for a moment and said.

"Thank you in advance. Let's take as much as we can for now!"

Li Wenqiang was at a loss as he did not know the brewing process. He knew nothing about rice, wheat, corn, sorghum and other grains except that yeast was sprinkled on them.
