National Tide 1980.

Chapter 982

It's enough to see the freshness outside, not to mention standing and chatting for a long time, and I feel cold, so it's time to go inside for a while.

As a result, when he entered the store, Ning Weimin, who thought there would be no surprises, was wrong again.

The scene in the store is special, even more surprising than the cover outside just now.

So much so that he actually widened his eyeballs because of the extraordinary shock.

Dare to feel that as soon as he followed Kang Shuode through the door, he saw six large wine vats neatly and evenly distributed in the middle of the room.

Each is about one meter in diameter and is buried underground.

Based on the usual height of the wine tanks of about 1.2 meters, the depth of these large tanks buried in the ground must be half a meter.

In terms of capacity, it takes more than a dozen barrels to pour cold water into it.

Needless to say, everyone would be shocked to see such a few big, fat guys all of a sudden.

"Old man, you didn't just bring the wine vats from other wineries when you bought the goods, did you? I've made you confused. Are you opening a tavern or wholesale?"

Ning Weimin stared at the several large tanks and couldn't move away, and asked in surprise.

Unexpectedly, Kang Shude shook his head and sighed his ignorance again.

"You, you are lucky to be from the capital. It's ridiculous to say such a thing. You don't even know what the tavern in the capital should look like."

When Ning Weimin heard this, he couldn't believe it.

"What? Did I hear correctly? According to you, this is what a tavern in the capital should look like? How many large vats should be placed in the room?"

However, Kang Shude took it for granted, affirming this point without hesitation.

"That's not true! There is a synonym for taverns and wine shops in the capital called 'big wine vats'. Big wine vats, big wine vats, how can there not be a few wine vats? This special style is the characteristic of Beijing taverns. Even if you travel all over the world and go abroad, you will never find another place."

What the old man said was interesting, but Ning Weimin was fascinated by what he said, and he couldn't help asking.

"Then why? Why do you have to put so many big things in the store, how much space does it take up? You said it can be used to store wine, but have you used so much? Do you really want to store all these tanks? It's full of wine, just your small shop, how much do we have to sell?"

"Come here, come here, take a good look and you'll understand."

Kang Shuode brought Ning Weimin to a large vat, pointed at the large vat and told him.

"Did you see that? Why is the wine tank half buried in the ground? That's to make the height of the wine tank the same as the table. And the half-paired red lacquered wooden lid on the tank, don't look down on it." I spent money to entrust the master craftsman of the lacquerware factory to do this lacquer work for me carefully. The picture is that the color will not fade. Why must it not fade? Because this wine tank is covered with this cover to serve as a table It is used. The lacquer work of this wooden cover must be good, so that it can withstand dishes being scratched, sleeves being rubbed, and it is not afraid of being spilled with wine, vegetable soup, and soy sauce soup."

"Is this called occupying land? This is the wisdom of the older generation and the unique taste of the people in the capital. There are wines in these large wine tanks, and there are covers on the tanks. There are so many people around this tank. Get a stool. If you’re a drinker, you’ll have to serve a few drinks and some side dishes when you come. Sit around the tank and have a drink with the dishes. Doesn’t that feel good? Especially in the cold winter months, Lie When the strong north wind is howling, what is it like to sit here and drink from the vat? This is the unique heroism of the people in the capital. There is a special name for this drinking method, it is called drinking 'Wujiu'."

Speaking of this, Kang Shude couldn't help pursing his lips, as if calling himself a glutton.

He touched it several times before he continued.

"As for the storage of wine you mentioned... yes, it seems a bit redundant to store so much wine. I can't sell the amount of this wine tank for a month or so. I got so much wine, it is true The cost has been reduced by several thousand yuan. But there are many advantages to putting wine in the tank like this. One is that it is cheap and convenient to buy wine in large quantities, and you can pick it up at any time when it is sold out in the wine jar on the cabinet. Besides, tobacco and alcohol are things that are easy to increase in price , can store as much goods as possible, this small profit business can only be solid. Second, as long as the days are long and the wine is kept in, it will make the bottom of the tank thicker and thicker. That is the natural wine mother. That is to say, these few days The longer the big wine tank is used in the future, the more mellow our wine will be."

"So, I really feel a pity from the bottom of my heart. It's a pity that this kind of business has disappeared in the capital for too long. Nowadays, people can only go to the non-staple food store to deal with it. They can't even find wine shops and taverns. Let alone such a big wine vat. Otherwise, if some old store is unwilling to do it, it will be really suitable if we can continue other people's old wine vats. Think of the "Bei Yixing" The big wine jars are old objects from the Qianjia period. They are treasures that have not been broken for hundreds of years. Just a few big jars there, you can turn them into wine if you mix them with water..."

Well, just this explanation of the big wine vat really made Ning Weimin unable to help but praise him.

He originally thought that the "big wine tank" was just a gimmick.

But after hearing this, I realized that the "big wine vat" is really a veritable Beijing wine culture.

And what the old man told is so lively and interesting.

Thinking about it, even he felt that if he opened a tavern like this, and all the patrons sat around the big vat to drink, it would be interesting.

Especially at this time, his attention has been diverted from the several large wine jars.

He raised his head and looked around, taking a good look at the entire tavern environment.

He discovered that the decoration of this tavern is also unique.

Don't even look at the walls are all white, dazzlingly white, not even a painted wall enclosure.

The ceiling on the roof is completely made of paper, and there are not many lights.

There are only two simple chandeliers in each bay, the kind with tin lamp caps.

In addition, the tables, chairs, and benches are made of firewood, which is not up to the grade at all, and they are all relatively inferior.

As for these guys, after sitting for a few years, they will definitely "crash".

But even so, although the word "rough" can only be used to describe the general decoration of this tavern.

But just because everything here is restored by the old man as much as possible as it was back then, it can wonderfully make people feel back to the old days.

The outside world that is separated from the door seems to be decades behind, and the feeling of time travel is full.

For example, the curved ruler-shaped cabinet.

More than four feet high, it was painted black with oil, and there was an abacus on it.

People can immediately think of the Xianheng Hotel in Lu Xun's novel "Kong Yiji".

Six large porcelain jars had been placed on the front of the large cabinet, and the mouths of the jars were corks wrapped in red coarse cloth.

The names of the wines are pasted on the jars, Mao San, Mao Qi, Lianhua Bai, Chrysanthemum Bai, Tongzhou Laojiao, and Jimo Laojiu.

On the other side of the large cabinet are wine warmers, two hundred coarse porcelain wine glasses upside down on a red cloth, two large tea pots, and a bold bottle with a feather duster.

In addition, on the back wall is "Du Kang's Drunkenness" hanging on the back wall, and there is also a hanging scroll to match the painting.

It says, "Wine ten miles of spring is priceless, and drink three cups of drunk dreams are also fragrant."

Needless to say, the sensuality and charm of the fragrance of this fine wine was immediately released from the big cabinet.

But that was nothing.

You know, Fang Bin, the phony buddy just now, has not been idle since he came back.

Immediately afterwards, he began to push the stool in this room again, and separately hung things on the walls on both sides of the big cabinet.

What is it hanging on?

It's really interesting to say, it turns out that there are some snacks and food written on the wooden sign.

There are three stalls on the top of the white wall, which are written in three columns: standing food, seasonal food, and staple food.

Next, on the nails that have been nailed in a row, they will be classified into categories, and the corresponding wooden signs with red cloth strips will be hung.

Like fried peanuts, boiled peanuts, dried bean curd, spicy cabbage, black bean curd, shredded tofu, shrimp beans, flowering beans, fried soybeans, rose dates, bean paste, salted duck eggs, preserved eggs, crunchy boxes, fried river prawns... …

These are the drinks and dishes that are often served at four seasons.

Like cucumber, mixed with kohlrabi, mixed with noodles, mixed with spinach, mustard pie, toon beans, fresh lotus root, fried red fruit, fish jelly, crispy fish, fried small yellow flower fish...

This has to be in season.

At present, the staple food is the least, and there are two kinds for the time being, rotten meat noodles and knife-sliced ​​noodles.

As a result, the wall suddenly didn't look empty, but became extraordinarily lively.

For this, Ning Weimin watched and admired him sincerely from the bottom of his heart.

Hey, this old man can really do magic tricks.

Surprisingly, just relying on wine tanks, large cabinets, wooden signs, and a few simple props, the room has become interesting and aesthetically pleasing.

Absolutely turning decay into magic.

And the most brilliant thing is to say that these things are definitely not for decoration, they are indeed useful.

Just talk about the wooden sign in front of you.

It can be picked, unloaded, turned over, washed and rewritten, and it is easy to add new categories.

When the drinker comes, he can see clearly without any effort, and he can know what is still there and what is gone.

Is there any decoration that is cheaper, more practical and more interesting than this method?
Just looking at the names of these dishes makes people excited and greedy.

With these brands, anyone who thinks this is not a place to drink is either blind or foolish.

High, really high!
All of this made Jean think of only one word - "Tianshichengjin".

"Master, I'm convinced as an apprentice. I really don't know if I don't come here. I was shocked when I came. To be honest, this tavern of yours is really well-run. It is much better than the antique teahouse at our New Year's Garden Party. You This makes me a little bit back to the illusion of the Republic of China. I see, your place is good enough for filming as a set. Now I really think that your store is good for business. Even when I come, I want to drink .In the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to miss it."

"That's right, Master Zhang and I, can there be anything wrong with the two of us doing it ourselves?"

Kang Shude was very happy to be praised by his apprentice, but he was not confused about money, and he had to settle accounts clearly.

"You want to drink too? All right. I won't invite you if you don't come, and I won't push you if you come. But there is one thing. You are here, no matter whether you eat or drink, you have to pay double. You can't credit."

"Then why?"

"I still don't understand, killing the rich and helping the poor."

Kang Shude said eloquently, "Look at how many places the poor people can have fun in the capital. You are so rich that you can't go anywhere, you have to come here to join in the fun. I am entertaining others for the sake of fun. What a joy, what am I going to do to entertain you? Of course it’s money.”

Ning Weimin didn't expect that he would be discriminated against, he was angry and funny.

"Old man, you are really good. At this time, you and my apprentice come to kill relatives righteously? You are really my good master."

"Don't talk nonsense, in terms of affection, if you are an apprentice and let a master serve you, that is disobedience. It should be counted as a transaction. I am the master, and you are just a guest. You don't understand if a guest follows the master. Besides, this is yours." Makes sense, isn't that what your Tangong Restaurant does? Make a lot of money upstairs to subsidize the dim sum shop downstairs, doesn't it? Since I am your master, can our master and apprentice behave differently?"

Ning Weimin understands that Jiang is always old and spicy after teasing to this point.

Just don't worry about finding cheap deals with Master, it's useless to be clever.

It was at this moment that a man came out of the back kitchen, thrust in without notice, and greeted Ning Weimin with his mouth open.

"Men, here we come. Don't believe Uncle Kang, he's just teasing you. It's like home here, can you still pay for a drink?"

Ning Weimin turned his head when he heard a familiar voice, and sure enough, it was Zhang Dashao he was looking for.

The old man was holding a big blue and white basin in his hand, and was putting it on the two big elm cases under those wooden signs.

From the looks of it, it was obvious that the food and wine had just been prepared.

So Ning Weimin not only rushed forward to say hello, but also rushed to help with great insight.

In this way, in a short time, with his help, Zhang Dashao moved more than a dozen large blue and white pots on the case.

But it has to be said that during this process, Ning Weimin couldn't help aiming at the blue and white plate in the glass case.

For nothing else, he always felt a little jealous when looking at these things.

As a result, this little move fell into Kang Shude's eyes, and the old man was delighted to see it.

"Don't think too hard, this is just a dozen Guangxu folk kilns. Don't you think about it, can good things be used here? This is the guy I found in Tangenerxiao Market after I opened the shop last year. The total cost is not more than [-]. The only advantage is the matching, which is much older than ordinary porcelain. It's not worth anything..."

Kang Shude said so, he didn't know what thoughts were going around in Ning Weimin's mind.

If it weren't for the willpower to endure, Ning Weimin, who almost broke the defense, would have cried out on the spot.

Whoops, what's not worth it?
My old man, that is an understatement of yours.

Just these things, don't look cheap now, after decades of storage, each of them can be replaced by a car.

Well, you have so many plates, the whole small parking lot.

Whoever wants to buy a drink and food together will pay you the parking fee.

Well, either you are the master, or you have a personality.
