The Great Era of Siheyuan

After making an appointment with the glass shop owner to pick it up the day after tomorrow, Li Wenqiang went out with the buyer.

"Let's go, lead the way!"

"Here, here. I haven't thanked you just now. Thank you so much. If you hadn't chosen to sell it to me, I would have missed out on this great thing!"

The middle-aged man said to him with gratitude on his face.

"No need to thank me! I paid you and I got you the goods. You don't owe me anything!"

"If you hadn't sold it to me on purpose, I probably wouldn't have been able to buy it. How can I not thank you? I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Chen Shuheng, and I'm a teacher. What's your name?"

Even though Li Wenjie didn't appreciate it, he didn't give up and wanted to get to know Li Wenqiang.

"Why are you asking so many questions? After we make this deal, we won't recognize each other. Don't say you bought something from me in the future. I won't admit it. Let's go our separate ways from now on!"

Li Wenqiang gave him a cold shoulder. Private transactions were against the rules to begin with, and who knew if the previous boss would get angry and report them. There was no need to leave such a safety hazard, and it would be best not to meet again in the future.

"Yes, yes, I'm so sorry! We won't know each other anymore from now on!"

After saying this, Chen Shuheng smiled apologetically.

After walking for about twenty minutes, the two arrived at Zhengyang Gate on Qianmen Street.

"Wait a minute, I'll go back and get the money!"

Standing at the door, the middle-aged man said sorry to Li Wenqiang and then walked into an alley.

Obviously, Li Wenqiang's reminder just now made him dare not bring anyone home. The more privacy, the more protection.

After he left, Li Wenqiang strolled casually around the archway.

Zhengyangmen is much better than Nanluoguxiang. The economic prosperity of the two is completely on different levels.

There used to be a Qianmen railway station next to here, with a lot of people coming and going. Many domestic and foreign tourists would get off here. The surrounding businesses and traffic were much better than Nanluoguxiang.

But now it has moved to the side, about two or three miles away.

Near Zhengyangmen are Tiananmen Square, the railway station, the museum, Wangfujing, Liulichang, Quanjude, Dashanlan, the Arrow Tower, restaurants, inns (now should be called guesthouses), the fruit market, cloth market, grain market, jewelry market, book market and various government agencies, etc. It can be said to be the central area of ​​the entire city.

Nanluoguxiang cannot be said to be bad, it can only be said to be closer to life, it is full of courtyard houses and not so commercialized.

As he walked, he was suddenly attracted by a tavern.

What attracted him was not anything else but its name. There was a tavern with "Daqianmen Tavern" written on it. Why did it sound so familiar?

Li Wenqiang went straight over carrying the copper furnace. He had to get another batch of wine anyway, so he went to see what was going on.

When he walked into the store, he saw two men, one old and one young, with three women, sitting on the table and shooing flies away boredly. When they saw him come in, they quickly got up and greeted him warmly.

"Hello! Would you like to drink? Come in, please! He Yumei, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and clean up the table. Didn't you see someone coming? All of you, don't just sit there. Go do what you need to do!"

The young man spoke to a few people, and his tone sounded like that of the boss here.

"Got it, Manager Fan. I'll take care of it right away!"

A young girl responded and prepared to clear the table.

Li Wenqiang looked at this familiar face and was somewhat shocked. Wasn't this a character from a TV series he had watched before? His name seemed to be Fan Jinyou, and they looked exactly the same.

Although Li Wenqiang was very surprised, he remained calm. After thinking about it, the background of this TV series seemed to be in the same period as that of the Qinman Siheyuan, and it made sense when he thought about it.

"Stop busying yourself. I want to buy some wine. Can you recommend some good wine to me?"

Li Wenqiang looked the man in front of him up and down as he spoke. The more he looked, the more he felt that his guess was correct. This was the background world of several TV dramas.

"Good wine! Yes, yes, yes. The soju in our store is the best in this area. The neighbors all like to come here to drink! Would you like two taels?"

The young man introduced it to him enthusiastically.

"Is it just soju? Is there anything else?"

Li Wenqiang asked casually.

If you want to make your products high-end and sell them at a high price, you naturally cannot use inferior wine, otherwise how can you sell them at a high price? However, it’s okay to use low-end wine.

"Well, I'm sorry, we've sold out all the other alcohol in our store. We only have soju now. Would you like some first?"

The young man said this somewhat embarrassedly, but from his expression it was clear that the facts were definitely different from what he said.

"How do you sell it? Do you need a drink ticket?"

Li Wenqiang looked at the counter and said, there was basically nothing left on the counter and the containers, just some peanuts and a jar of wine, it seemed like the store was running out of food.

The Xu Huizhen in my memory was not there, but the two waitresses in front of me were quite good-looking.

"70 cents a pound, no ticket needed! How much do you want?"

Finally, they got to the point. The young man became excited and spoke quickly.

"How much soju do you have in your store? Pack it up for me. I want it all!"

Li Wenqiang didn't hesitate and since the price was not expensive, he simply bought a little more.

"What? You want all of it? Are you kidding us? Don't blame us for kicking you out if you can't come up with the money later!"

An old woman at the counter looked Li Wenqiang up and down, spoke in a sarcastic tone, and looked at him questioningly.

"Zhao Yali, what are you talking about? Is it your turn to speak here? If you don't know how to speak, just shut up. Go away, get out of here!"

The young man pushed the old woman at the counter aside and asked excitedly.

"Is what you just said true? All of it?"

"You just doubt that I can't afford it, don't you? Here, is the money enough? If it's not enough, take it first. I'll refund you if you have more money and make up for the shortfall. Prepare it for me first, and I'll come get it later!"

As Li Wenqiang spoke, he took out more than a hundred yuan from his pocket and slapped it on the counter.

When several people saw so much money, their eyes widened. They didn't expect that this young man who was not dressed well could take out so much money to buy wine. It was really beyond their expectations.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not doubting that you can't afford it, I just want to ask, what do you want so much wine for?"

The young man hurriedly picked up the money and counted them one by one, his eyes beginning to light up.

"Why do you care so much? My neighbor's husband died, can't I buy some more wine to celebrate? Hurry up and prepare the wine and give me a receipt, I'll come over to get it later!"

Li Wenqiang said impatiently.

"Okay, of course. We need to celebrate. I'll charge you one hundred and ninety-five dollars and eighty cents. Don't worry, I'll prepare it for you in a little while!"

Fan Jinyou smiled and patted his chest to assure him.

"hope so!"

Li Wenqiang said this and went out carrying the tripod. He was sure that this young man was Fan Jinyou. The cunning look of that villain was even more annoying than Sha Zhu.

After Li Wenqiang left, several people quickly surrounded him.

"Director Fan, with so much money, do we have enough to pay salaries?"

After they finished speaking, several people looked at him expectantly.

"I'll pay you later. Our store's turnover this month is too low. I'll report the accounts first. What are you guys still doing here? Don't you have anything to do? Hurry up and find all the wine for me. Don't leave a single drop. Do you hear me? You're acting like a donkey every day. You can't even walk without a beating or a scolding, right?"

Fan Jinyou looked at them and started scolding them.

"Ah~! I haven't received my salary yet. I'm almost starving to death! It's so boring!"

When they heard what he said, they immediately lost interest and listlessly started to do their own things.
