The Great Era of Siheyuan

After Li Wenqiang walked out the door, he first put some more vegetables on the ground. Anyway, no one knew how much he brought, so it was useless even if there were questions.

After opening the back door, Li Wenqiang locked the door again from behind before riding his motorcycle towards the tavern.

After a series of rumbling sounds, the car turned off and stopped not far from the door.

The store was packed with people at this time, and it was very lively even though it was past mealtime. The cheap vegetables and pumpkin dishes made the neighbors sit here all day long waiting for food, because they were so cheap.

The vegetables cost 60 cents per pound, and the cooked dish only costs one dollar, and it is paired with a bowl of multi-grain porridge. Although it is a little expensive, the food is already very good.

Hearing the sound of the motorcycle, everyone looked over, and Fan Jinyou was no exception. So far, he was the only one who could drive a motorcycle to the tavern, and no one knew who it was.

Li Wenqiang walked into the tavern and greeted Fan Jinyou with a smile when he saw him.

"Fan Jinyou, you look good! It seems that you have been doing well recently."

"Oh, it's Boss Li, come and sit down. What's going well or not? I just rely on you to make a living!"

Fan Jinyou greeted warmly.

"What do you mean by relying on me for a living? I am relying on you to take care of my business!"

Li Wenqiang found a stool and sat down, speaking casually.

"Let's not be polite. This is a win-win situation, right? What have you been busy with lately?"

Fan Jinyou came over and asked curiously, there was no one to be seen every day, but food was provided every day, which made it very mysterious.

"It's just factory stuff. I'm a buyer for the steel mill now, buying stuff and stuff."

Li Wenqiang slapped his work ID on the table and stared at him closely.

The meaning is very clear, aren't you saying that I am speculating? I am a buyer now, and my purchases are reasonable and legal. As long as you don't catch him making a mistake in front of me, then he is not guilty.

He threatened me to give him food by accusing me of speculation before, and now I wonder if he has any reason to say it.

"Good purchasing, lots of money."

Fan Jinyou looked at the work permit on the table with envy and said, "I don't know whether it is true or not."

"That's it. It doesn't matter whether it's lucrative or not. We are all serving the people. It's not so easy to say that."

Li Wenqiang said unhappily that this guy was still in poor physical condition and with that mouth, he would never be able to climb to the level of a section chief in his lifetime.

Fan Jinyou quickly said with a smile.

"Look at me, I said the wrong thing again! Boss Li, how come you have time to come to my place for a drink today?"

Li Wenqiang looked at Fan Jinyou and replied with a smile.

"I'm done with my work, come and relax."

Fan Jinyou nodded and said.

"Okay, then you sit down first, I'll get busy."

After saying this, he was about to turn around and leave when Li Wenqiang's voice came from behind him.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I heard that you are going to be a public manager again?"

Fan Jinyou turned around with a smug smile on his face.

"Hey, these are just some rumors, nothing is confirmed yet."

Li Wenqiang raised his eyebrows.

"Oh? Then it looks like this might be a possibility."

Fan Jinyou chuckled and said, "Boss Li, you know I don't have any special abilities, I just have good luck. If I can really become the manager of Gongfang, I will have to rely on you, Boss Li, to take care of me in the future."

Li Wenqiang smiled and said, "No problem, no problem. Just don't trip me up in the future, Fan Jinyou."

Seeing that Fan Jinyou admitted defeat, Li Wenqiang did not hold on to him. There would be many opportunities to deal with him in the future. The most important thing now was to make money.

Fan Jinyou nodded and bowed quickly.

"How could that be possible, Boss Li? I will never trip you up. I will have to rely on your support in the future."

Li Wenqiang glanced at him with a half-smile.

"Okay, that depends on your performance."

At this time, a guest next to him called Fan Jinyou to get some wine. Fan Jinyou quickly responded and went to get busy.

Li Wenqiang sat there, looking at Fan Jinyou's back thoughtfully.

He knew that although Fan Jinyou had some power, he was also useful. If he could really become the manager of Gongfang, maybe they could really help each other in the future.

But how to use it is a problem. If I don't beat him into submission, he will definitely not be obedient. It seems that I have to think of a way to set a trap for him.

After a while, Fan Jinyou came back after finishing his work and started chatting with Li Wenqiang again.

"Boss Li, if I really become the manager of Gongfang, can we have more dishes every day?"

Fan Jinyou asked tentatively in a low voice.

Li Wenqiang thought about it.

"Okay, having another way out is always good, but are you sure you can eat it? Aren't you afraid of problems?"

"Hey, are you worried about this? Don't worry, I'm here. I guarantee there won't be any problems at Daqianmen! The leaders above are all familiar with me!"

Fan Jinyou said, patting his chest.

Li Wenqiang looked at Fan Jinyou's confident look and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. This guy is really shameless. But on the surface, he still said calmly.

"Okay, since you are so sure, I will think about it again."

When Fan Jinyou heard that there was a chance, he immediately became excited and came forward to speak.

"Li Wenqiang, you must help me. Don't worry, I will never let you down. I won't tell anyone about you and Xu Huizhen selling vegetables."

Li Wenqiang's eyes flashed with coldness. If this guy hadn't said that, he would have wanted to keep him for a while. He didn't expect that this guy would like to die so much. It's no wonder that he attacked him.

"I'll think about this for a few days. By the way, do me a favor. Do you know anyone who has some yeast? Get me some. The older the better."

Li Wenqiang said casually.

"Jiuqu? Are you planning to brew your own wine? Listen to me, the wine we brew ourselves doesn't taste as good as the wine made in the winery, and the yield is not high either. It's not cost-effective."

Fan Jinyou advised after hearing what he said.

"Why do you care so much? Mind your own business and just tell me whether you have it or not! If not, tell me who has it and that's it."

Li Wenqiang frowned and said impatiently.

"If you want to tell me who has good wine, I know. But if you want to tell me who has koji, I really don't know."

Fan Jinyou said embarrassedly.

"If you don't know, then why are you talking so much? Go away!"

After driving Fan Jinyou away, Li Wenqiang ordered a beer and drank it slowly while sitting at the table. There was already beer here, so there couldn't be no koji. Even if there wasn't, at least someone should know who had it.

Li Wenqiang originally wanted to find an opportunity to buy wine, but after thinking about it, he realized that the quantity he would need in the future would be too large, and he would have to make it himself sooner or later. He might as well start thinking of ways to produce it now. Anyway, he already had the grain, so he could just buy a few large jars.

"My dear little brother, I just heard you say you want some wine yeast, right? If you don't mind, I'll give you some later."

Just as Li Wenqiang was thinking about where to get koji and hops, a voice came from the table next to him.
