Chapter 185 Tavern Culture
Hearing this, Lord Niu laughed loudly and said: "I think it's okay. You all have an appointment with your girlfriends and sisters to be in-laws. That young man Zirui has both talent and talent, so why don't you let him marry both of your daughters together?" , Principal Xu, what do you think?"

Principal Xu took a sip of his wine and nodded in agreement with a smile: "Master Niu, you're right! This is called a natural gifted man and a beautiful woman. You only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals."

Xu Huizhen said with a sigh: "Chen Xueru, I found that you really want to compare everything with me. I have a niece who is with me, and you! A niece from Xiangjiang also wants to compare with me, and now If you want to snatch my son-in-law from me, you can do it!"

Chen Xueru raised her chin and said: "That is, how can an ordinary person like my beautiful niece be worthy of him, only a young talent with good character like Zirui is a good match for my niece."

Xu Huizhen said: "Xueru, during the mass production period, you can say that you have tried your best to donate more iron than me, but you are still more than 800 kilograms less than me. By the way, when did you take it in front of me? It's cheap, what are you drawing?"

Chen Xueru said with emotion: "Huizhen! You and I are the two women who can fight the most in this Daqianmen area. One mountain can't accommodate two tigers. You say I don't fight with you, what's the fun?"

Master Niu said: "It's rare for you two sisters and best friends to fight each other, but it doesn't hurt feelings."

Chen Xueru waved her hands and said: "That's because my lord has a lot of things and doesn't care about her. It's okay... okay, let's not talk about these things. Who can tell me if there is anything new recently, everyone have fun."

Principal Xu said loudly: "I read in the newspaper that in XZ, Hubei, Guizhou, Gansu, Qinghai, Sichuan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Yunnan, Guangxi, Henan, and Hubei, at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, the sky There is a big bright ring, about one-eighth the size of the sky, which comes out every night for several days.

That thing was a bright spot at first, and then it gradually spread out, and finally turned into a big ring, which can hang in the sky for a long time. Do you think this is an alien UFO flying saucer surveying the earth. "

Qiangzi echoed and said, "Principal Xu said that, I have also heard that it seems to be a flying saucer in the shape of a mosquito-repellent incense."

Principal Xu started talking about what happened recently, which aroused everyone's interest, and there were many discussions.

Yang Xue was amazed by this situation, this tavern is similar to the bar in Xiangjiang, but people come to the tavern to drink and chat, the noisy atmosphere of this fish bar is quite different.

This is exactly the tavern culture in the capital. The tavern is not only a place for people to consume, but also represents the Beijing-style market culture.People who come here to drink are not only for wine, but also to be able to talk freely about national affairs and see new things.This is also one of the unique cultural phenomena of the people in the capital living under the roots of the imperial city.

Drinking in the capital is a kind of emotion and a kind of culture.What it tastes is this life, what it talks about is the rules, and what it explains is the realm of being a human being.Of course, for those "wine putty", that is, two sips of wine, they run the train with their mouth full, and from time to time they make a "wine bomb" and use the wine to make trouble, the shopkeeper will often "politely" reject them. outside the gate.

People in the old capital always drink two or two ounces, firstly to relieve hunger, and secondly to chat and talk nonsense to relieve boredom.It is a rare delicacy to make an appointment with three or five bosom friends, and order a few drinks and dishes.

People come to the tavern to drink mostly to relieve their fatigue. After a day of hard work and anger outside, when they come to the tavern, they can drink a little wine, which can immediately relieve the fatigue of the day.

It is also for venting, life is not easy, and people who are often overwhelmed can't breathe. They come to the tavern alone or with a few friends to talk to each other, so as to vent their displeasure.

Again, let's talk about things.Whether it's a happy event, or solving a conflict or problem.Through the wine and the aura in the tavern, happy things can be talked about more happily, and the conflicts between each other can be turned into small things, small things, and even wars into friendship.

What they drink is basically "Lao Baigan", "Shaojiu" or "Erguotou".A jug of wine plus a plate of peanuts or garlic sausages is the favorite of drinkers who come here to consume, and anyone can afford it.If cooking is added, there will be a "class" difference, which breaks the rules.

Regardless of their status, they can enter the tavern for consumption. Those with more money can have wine and food, and those with less money can drink cheap wine. When there are many people, they can share a table, or simply squat against the door or wall. Regardless of whether they know each other or not, everyone is willing to sit there, drinking and drinking, chatting and chatting, from parents to national policies.

Talking and laughing happily, very comfortable, and having a lot of fun.While laughing and cursing, peace, freedom, leisure, nourishment, all in silence.Occasionally there are some small conflicts interspersed, but it does not affect the friendship between neighbors, it is the life of fireworks.

Since they are here for a drink, appetizers are always indispensable. Anyone who has money should also order a small plate.The early taverns did not sell hot dishes, let alone rice, and were places for "pure wine".At best, they sell some cold dishes to go with wine.

Side dishes with wine are mainly cold meat.For wealthy drinkers, the variety of appetizers is really rich.Such as pork head meat, sauced beef, dry fried small yellow croaker, garlic sausage/noodle sausage, pork skin jelly, patted cucumber, cold tofu shreds, shallot mixed with tofu, boiled/fried peanuts, flowering beans, pickled radish skin, etc. Common.

The cold meats they sell are all their own handicrafts, and everything can seduce greedy people.For those drinkers who are on a tighter budget, they will bring a pack of peanuts or a cucumber.

In the period of material shortage, the scene of the poorest drinkers drinking with iron nails is definitely a scene in the old Beijing tavern.To be more particular, pour some soy sauce or vinegar into a small dish, dip the nails in some "ingredients" first, and then sip it with white wine, you can really taste the sweetness.

Such a tavern is not only down-to-earth, but also has a rich atmosphere of small townspeople.In winter, people like to drink hot wine; this hot wine is to put the wine in a vessel called wine crop, heat it with hot water and then drink it.

At this time, it was freezing cold outside the house, but inside the tavern was warm as spring, filled with the smell of water and wine.Everyone sits around the fire, drinking wine, and roasting the fire. People forget the troubles and fatigue of the day, and spend the winter time. It is really full of life and very comfortable.

Among the drinkers in the old capital, according to their drinking habits, there are also "three or six or nine grades".Among them, the first class is "sip", and you can feel comfortable after taking a few sips;
The third class is "drinking", lightly smoked and slightly drunk; the fourth class is "drinking", the wine changes a lot, and the drunk eyes are hazy; the fifth class is "drinking", starting at half a catty, it is difficult to control oneself; No cup.
