There is a bar in Houhai

Chapter 65 Drinking Friends
"Grandpa Han, please take a closer look at the contract. If you have any questions or are unclear, you can contact me." Shen Fang sent Han Xiao home, and told Mr. Han about the assessment in the morning, and asked Han Xiao Take out the contract and show it to the old man.

Under the evasion of the old man, Shen Fang still left him 5000 yuan for Han Xiao to buy some nutritional supplements.

Fangyuan had a rest today, and Shen Fang arrived at the bar early in the afternoon.The opening time of the bar is two o'clock, and the waiters on the morning shift have already gone to work around 01:30, responsible for cleaning and housekeeping.Accountant Yun Xiaofu was also there, and she was in charge of handing over the business accounts of the bar to the cashier.

"Hello boss!" Yun Xiaofu and the cashier looked curiously at Shen Fang who entered the door, covering their mouths and snickering from time to time.

"What's the matter, this expression. Isn't it because I haven't been here for half a month, and I don't know each other?" Shen Fang touched his nose, feeling a little uncomfortable with Yun Xiaofu's gaze.

"No, it's mainly because someone I know well has suddenly become an Internet celebrity, which is a little strange." Then he asked gossipingly: "Boss, did Wang Xiaocong really come to our bar yesterday? Are you really with him?" are friends?"

"Go, go, go, do what you need to do." Shen Fang rushed the waiters who were watching.

"Yesterday, Fangyuan mentioned to me that during the Christmas period, the turnover hit a new high. Last month, the employees who were working last month were given a bonus of 1000 yuan each, and each administrator was 2000 yuan." The management of the bar is Fangyuan, the financial manager, and the waiter. Two foremen and the head chef.

"Thank you, boss. You are really generous." Since Shen Fang took over the bar, benefits have been distributed several times. Yun Xiaofu and others also like this generous boss very much.

At 03:30 in the afternoon, the "Yanjing City Veteran" came to the "June 30rd" bar, "Hello! You must be the boss Shen Fangshen who is facing the wind in Yushu and is full of pride." A man in his [-]s saw the Shen Fang, who was at the side of the bar, cupped his hands and said, "Little brother Tao Chengren, Jianghu bandit known as "Yanjing City Veteran". It's the first time we meet. Excuse me."

At first glance, the man looked like a stubborn master of Yanjing City. He was wearing a Chinese-style double-breasted padded jacket. He had a round face and a slightly chubby face. He wore a fashionable hairstyle with shovels on both sides, and the slightly longer hair in the middle was tied into a back braid.Around the neck is a Guanyin carved from Hetian seed jade, on the right wrist is a string of red sandalwood bracelets covered with paste, and on the left wrist is a string of Arhat statues carved with olive cores.On the lanyard of the mobile phone in his hand, there is a nuclear-carved bergamot.

"Oh, you're here, please sit down! My little brother is open for business. Master Tao, if you can come here without shame, it's also counted as a little brother's face. It's fun to drink today, and it's my little brother." Shen Fang looked at him. The style of the rivers and lakes also caters to Taoism.

"Old Yanjing man?" Tao Chengren stood in front of the bar and looked at Shen Fang carefully.

"Old alley strings." Shen Fang returned.

"Hehe, one of my own." Tao Chengren returned happily.

Lao Tao’s real surname is Tao, and Tao Yuanming’s Tao is named Tao Chengren.Just like his self-introduction, his ancestors never bowed down for five buckets of rice, so he disdained the work of ministries and departments of Yanjing City and became a market veteran.

But in Shen Fang's view, he should have other livelihoods, otherwise he would not be able to enjoy such a comfortable life in Yanjing City, but the first meeting was not easy to talk deeply, so he didn't ask further.

"Young Master Shen, just call me Lao Tao. Can you take out your 82-year-old bottle and let my brother smell it?" Tao Chengren's tone of voice made Shen Fang a little speechless.

Shen Fang entered the bar, took out the half bottle of wine he had left over here, and then poured him a glass, "Don't smell it, I drank it myself, and there is still half a bottle left, let's drink it today." It's done."

The waiter at the bar today is Fang Yuan's apprentice, named Zhang Peng, who has learned from him for three years, and also has Fang Yuan's seven-success power.Shen Fang explained to him, and then sat at a corner of the bar with Tao Chengren and slowly tasted it.

Lao Tao sniffed the amber wine in the cup first, took a sip and slowly aftertaste, and drank the rest of the wine in one last gulp. "The taste of this wine is really good. I really don't know how to describe it. It should be called 'smooth'. I don't know if it is appropriate."

"Pfft..." Hearing his description, Shen Fang couldn't help laughing out, looking at Lao Tao who was a little embarrassed, Shen Fang quickly explained: "Old Tao, don't mind, I really didn't laugh at you. Native and bourbon is also the word to describe it.”

Then he poured the wine glass for Lao Tao, whose complexion had calmed down, "Later, a so-called bourbon whiskey master sommelier in the United States wrote a post 'Never use smooth to describe a glass of bourbon', in which he listed countless There are a variety of aromas, including the aroma of leather book jacket soaked in butter toffee, the aroma of roasted citrus peel, the aroma of vanilla pods, the aroma of fresh oak barrels, etc., countless aromas can describe the taste brought by bourbon, the word smooth It’s too poor. I didn’t expect this post to be sent out, and all the replies below are the word ‘smooth’.”

This anecdote made Lao Tao couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect American drinking friends to have the same taste. Next time I go to America, I will chat with them too."

Shen Fang also sighed: "In the end, a professional newspaper commentator published a blog on this matter, and the deep-rooted approval of American drinkers: Can you stop being so serious? Think about it. At first, we enjoyed bourbon just because It can bring us a pleasant feeling. It’s just wine tasting, no matter whether you taste any aroma or not, drinking it is a winner in life.”

"Yes, Mr. Shen, if you can drink bourbon here often, you are a winner in life. If you can drink it for 82 years, it is the king of winners."

"Anyway, you don't have anything to do. Come to me if you have time. Although there are not many 82 years old, there are still 85 years old."

"Yeah, it's the wine that preserves its value. The older a good wine is, the higher its value is. Now the best 85 bourbon is more than 2 a bottle. If it takes another two years, it will be around [-]."

"There's no way around it. You can only drink less and less vintage wine. Rare things are more expensive. Just like the Moutai in Guizhou Province, the Moutai ten years ago has more than ten times the amount now."

After Lao Tao drank a few cups, he felt a little dizzy, and signaled Shen Fang to slow down first: "Speaking of Moutai, I have to say that the current stock price of Moutai is 280 yuan per share, with a market value of more than 3000 billion yuan, half of the entire Guizhou Province. GDP is driven by it. Are you kidding, is this scientific? Back then I just couldn’t understand these things, so I left the China Securities Regulatory Commission. The water in China’s stock market is too deep.”

"Oh, it turns out that Brother Tao used to be a member of the China Securities Regulatory Commission. Disrespect and disrespect, Huaxia stock market, Huaxia's characteristics, some things can't be said. Everyone is drunk and I am sober. Brother Tao quit simply. I admire it."

"What do you mean by 'everyone is drunk'? In fact, everyone pretends to be drunk, just like you can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep. If you don't believe me, take a look, the stock price of Moutai shares will go up, even if the country promulgates a 'ban on alcohol' No way, many people now regard hoarding wine as an investment. Foreign wine depends on the year and harvest, and the wine with a good vintage will get more expensive as it ages. In our country, as long as it leaves the factory, we hoard it, regardless of whether it is good or bad. .” Lao Tao took another gulp of the wine in his glass depressed.

"What do brothers mainly play now? Wenwan? Stock market?"

"I am an IPO dealer now. I have many acquaintances in the China Securities Regulatory Commission. Many companies want to go public, and they have to rely on connections. No, my buddy will become a dealer. I will work as an assistant to the chairman of the company that wants to go public for a few months. Help them make the report data more beautiful, and clear the listing barriers for them. After the listing, sell them the shares in your hand, and get out." The more Tao Chengren talked, the more depressed he became. Just there with a wry smile: "I have now become the person I looked down on the most before."

Seeing Tao Chengren lying on the bar counter after drinking too much, Shen Fang found two waiters, helped him to rest on the sofa in the box upstairs, and arranged for someone to watch outside the door, and try to help if necessary one time.
