Drinking in a pub really feels different, what stands out is the liveliness.
But for Fan Jinyou, there is something very unaccustomed to it.
Everyone else came to the tavern to drink after dinner.
Fan Jinyou came directly after get off work.
So I was hungry and couldn't stay long. After the excitement was over, I left the tavern.
It is not good for me to keep staring at the married woman Chen Xueru, and it is not interesting to keep watching Cai Quanwu peeking at Xu Huizhen.
After returning home, I ate the meal my mother left for me on the coal stove, and then returned to my room.
After watching Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru, my curiosity was satisfied.
There will still be some time before the street officially announces the start of the public-private partnership.
The battle over who will be the first public-private partnership is still waiting.
Fan Jinyou still needs to solve his own financial problems first.
After get off work, I don't have much time to go to the tavern to watch the excitement.
There is nothing lively or interesting in the tavern, except for the second son of the Cheng family, who picks up Xu Huizhen's wall.
Some scoundrels and idlers like to pick on widows. It is not uncommon in cities or rural areas. It is not new.
Recently, Fan Jinyou likes to go shopping in the black market when he gets off work.
At the end of the year, it's time for villagers in the suburbs to spend money, pull some fabrics, make clothes for their children, and buy new year's goods.
Therefore, there were many people selling grain and poultry in the black market, so it was not difficult for Fan Jinyou to collect them.
The only thing that restricts the progress of Fan Jinyou's acquisition is money.
Although Fan Jin has it, he does not need to pay wages to his family.
However, Fan Jin spent a lot of money at home on firewood, rice, oil and salt.
When his parents are sick, they often take out money. At the end of every month, when his sister's family is in trouble, Fan Jinyou also wants to show his support.
So after Fan Jinyou came over, he rummaged through the entire room and only had more than a hundred yuan.
Therefore, Fan Jin does not support casual shopping even if he has enough money.
Chickens and ducks are cheaper. Fan Jin bought about ten of one kind.
Big geese are rare and expensive, so I only bought three in total.
I bought some grain seeds and a lot of coarse grains to use as feed for poultry.
Living in the city, Fan Jinyou had no choice but to choose to breed in a small world, which would cause more trouble.
After making use of his small world, Fan Jinyou finally felt at ease and his life was finally secure.
Only then did I have time to come to the tavern for a drink, but I haven’t been there for a while.
"Cadre Fan, come and sit here, there is room here."
"Thank you, Mr. Niu." After thanking him, Fan Jinyou walked up to the counter and said, "For the shopkeeper, half a catty of wine, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of pickles."
I just spent four to five cents on it and could buy two and a half kilograms of white flour.
For ordinary people, it is really a luxury.
In Qianmen, the cost of listening to the excitement is much higher than in other places.
The pickles in the tavern are a must-order for Fan Jinyou. The pickles made with Hetian jade and made from vat stone taste different.
After taking the wine and dishes, Fan Jinyou and Niu Ye sat down at the table right in front of the counter.
To say that he is well-informed, it would be better to say that Mr. Niu likes to drink and walk with birds all day long.
"Come on, Mr. Niu, let's go. Is there anything new recently?"
"There have been a lot of things going on recently. The biggest thing is that the owner of Xueru Silk Shop, Chen Xueru's man, broke his shoes outside and they are now getting divorced."
No wonder Niu Ye can be respected by so many people. The first news is what Fan Jinyou wants to know most.
Chen Xueru's popularity is indeed quite high in the tavern.
Most of the people who come to the pub to drink are men. Chen Xueru, a beautiful woman who often comes here, is naturally the center of attention.
This thing between men and women is more attractive than other gossip.
While drinking and chatting, I saw Qiangzi, who was riding a three-wheeler earlier, walking into the tavern.
A change from before, he was tattered, button-down, wearing a brand-new Chinese tunic suit, he opened his mouth and asked for half a catty of wine and some side dishes.
Seeing Fan Jinyou looking at Qiangzi in surprise, Mr. Niu said: "Qiangzi has been like this for several days. The Qiangzi now is not the Qiangzi who used to ride three wheels. Now there are three cars and three cars.
The little boss of transportation!”
Fan Jinyou knew this, but he just took a few more glances at the contrast between hadrons.
I also know that Qiangzi, in order to set up a transportation team, asked his father to sell the big house in his hometown, just to match Xu Huizhen's identity, and to pursue Xu Huizhen.
At another table, primary school teacher Xu Hesheng came to the tavern so diligently because he also wanted to pursue Xu Huizhen.
Qiangzi's pursuit is to spend more money and drink, which means he has not paid any price.
But Xu Hesheng had already been forced into a painting by Huang Binhong by Xu Huizhen, and was tricked by Xu Huizhen.
Let’s not talk about the value of paintings. Antiques, calligraphy and paintings are all things with a price but no market.
It’s not about how much a pair costs, you can buy as many as you have.
If you want to pursue Xu Huizhen, these can be regarded as love rivals.
Even squatting in the corner, drinking silently, not saying a word, and watching Xu Huizhen's dish is still considered one.
Fan Jinyou couldn't understand it, even if Xu Huizhen had certain abilities.
But looking for a wife is not a shopkeeper job, so why is a widow with a child so in demand?
I ordered half a kilo of wine today and stayed in the pub for a little longer.
But it's not in vain, the various news in the tavern are much more useful than the usual gossip that aunts talk about.
It also plays a big role for Fan Jinyou, and he can also hear the people’s true thoughts on government policies.
The next day, after finishing his work in the street, Fan Jinyou took over another errand and went out for a walk.
It's already the end of the year, and Fan Ma doesn't start making new clothes for the New Year.
Obviously, money is tight at home, otherwise Fan Jin, who has a family like his, would still have to wear new clothes every year.
"cadre fan, why are you here?"
A strong woman is a strong woman. Xu Huizhen’s husband eloped with someone else so he didn’t delay opening a tavern.
Chen Xueru's husband broke his shoes and ran away with others. Just a few days later, he did not delay business and entertained customers enthusiastically.
"Boss Chen, of course I came to the store to take care of your family's business. I can't wear satin, and I still have to tear cotton."
"Manager Fan is right to come to our store. Come here to take a look at the ingredients we just bought. They are all good ingredients. Which one do you like?"
"Let's not look at it for now. It's not for me to pull the fabric myself. I don't understand if it's for the parents at home. I trust your boss Chen's vision. Just help me choose two pieces of fabric."
"Okay, since Cadre Fan believes in me, then leave everything to me. Cadre Fan is indeed what everyone calls a filial son. He only pulls cloth for his father and mother and doesn't want to make a new suit for himself?"
Chen Xueru said as she took Fan Jinyou to look at the fabrics.
