Chapter 54 Tavern

After he finished speaking, he handed the 7 sheets of Great Unity that he had counted just now to Bai Zirui. After Bai Zirui took the money, he said to him, "Brother Song, wait a moment! I will paint your bicycle so that the car looks better." Looks like new."

Song Changhe said gratefully: "Then thank you Brother Bai, you are really thoughtful."

While painting the bicycle, Bai Zirui asked Song Changhe, "Brother Song, do you want a radio for your son to get married? The woman only asked for a bicycle for you. Wouldn't it be nice if you prepared an extra radio?" One thing that saves face.”

Song Changhe asked in great surprise: "Brother Bai, do you still sell radios here? Do you not need a ticket like a bicycle? How much is it?"

Bai Zirui nodded and said, "The radios here are the same as the bicycles. No ticket is required for maintenance and assembly. As long as it is not man-made, if there is a problem, you can ask me to repair it for free, 50 yuan a set."

When Song Changhe heard the price Bai Zirui said, he was overjoyed. The couple had already prepared for their son's marriage, and saved a total of 300 yuan in the past few years.

I thought that after my son got married, the family's wealth would be wiped out, but I didn't expect that it only cost 120 yuan to buy a bicycle and radio at Bai Zirui's place, and the rest of the money can be used to hold a beautiful wedding for my son.

He couldn't wait to say: "Brother Bai, bring me another radio."

Bai Zirui said: "Brother Song, you need to buy the electronic parts for repairing the radio now. Please leave me an address. I will send the repaired radio to you after get off work tomorrow."

Song Changhe told Bai Zirui the address of his home and said, "That's good! I'll wait for Brother Bai at home tomorrow."

Bai Zirui quickly painted the bike and it looked like new, with a vivid Phoenix logo on the front.

When Song Changhe pushed his bicycle away, Bai Zirui told him not to tell anyone that he bought the bicycle and radio casually. If the honest and well-known relatives and friends need bicycles and radios, they can introduce them to him. here.

After Song Changhe left, Bai Zirui took out one of the 7 Great Unity cards he gave and handed it to Nan Yi, and said with a smile, "Brother Nan, this is your introduction fee."

Nanyi said with some embarrassment: "This...how embarrassing is this!"

Bai Zirui said solemnly: "Brother Nan, what's there to be embarrassed about? This is what we agreed upon when we cooperated. You don't want me to be a person who doesn't believe me!"

Hearing what he said, Nanyi took Da Tuanhe no longer politely and said, "Then I will be disrespectful."

Bai Zirui said loudly: "That's right! I'm still counting on my brothers to help me bring me a steady stream of customers! I have a good start today, let's go! I'll invite you to drink! I heard that Daqianmen There's a nice tavern, let's go for a drink or two."

The three of them left the house he rented together, rode their bicycles and headed straight for Daqianmen. When they came to Qianmen Street, they could see the endless stream of people. In this era, it is still able to attract so many people to come here for consumption.

Qianmen Street is located on the central axis of the capital, starting from Moon Bay of Qianmen in the north, ending at Tianqiao intersection in the south, and connecting with Tianqiao South Street.With a total length of 840 meters, it was called Zhengyangmen Street from the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the Republic of China. It was officially named Qianmen Street in 1965.

From Qianmen Street to the expansion of the outer city in the Ming Dynasty, it has become a land where every inch of land is expensive. People come and go, merchants gather here, and the bustle lasts for hundreds of years.

Someone once wrote such a poem about the bustling business of Qianmen Street: "The five colors are blurred, and the eyes are blinded, and the goods from all directions are lined up. The sky is not clear, and the narrow road is narrow and people walk one after another."

In the "Yanjing Miscellaneous Notes", the commercial scene in the capital area is described as follows: "The store market in the capital is plain, with red and emerald carvings, brocade windows and rural households. The signboards are as high as three feet. At night, lamps are lit, and dozens of sand cages are lit. The corner lamps are as bright as the sun. They are especially outstanding in Dongsi Archway and Zhengyangmen Dashilan.”

The old BJ has a catchphrase called: East Sidan Drum Tower Front.These places were bustling business districts full of tourists in the old days, and the most prosperous one is Qianmen Street.

Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant, Bianyifang Roast Duck Restaurant, Huixianju Fried Liver Restaurant, Yongantang Pharmacy, Black Monkey Hat Shop, Duyi Shaomai Restaurant, Zhengyanglou Restaurant, Ruishengxiang, Jiulongzhai Fresh Fruit Shop, Tongsanyi Dried Fruit and Seafood Century-old shops such as Zhengmingzhai Pastry Shop, Ruifuxiang Silk Cloth Shop, Tianhuizhai Snuff Shop, Tongrentang Medicine Shop, Liubiju Pickle Garden, and Yilong Mutton Restaurant all gather here.

The three of them found a place to park their bicycles, walked into Qianmen Street and merged into the continuous flow of people, and found out the location of the tavern by asking anyone casually. .

The three of them came to the door of the tavern, and when they stood at the door, they heard the noise of people inside, the noise was extraordinary, some people were drinking orders, some people were arguing after drinking, although it sounded a little noisy, it didn't seem like that kind of noise It's harsh, but it reveals the life of a common man in the market.

The three of them stood at the door and saw that there were no empty seats inside. He Yuzhu frowned and suggested, "Zi Rui, there are no vacancies here. We walked all the way just now. I see that there are many places to eat and drink on this street. Why don't we find another place?" family."

As soon as he finished speaking, there happened to be two people who were full of food and drink. Their faces were flushed and they were 7% drunk.

Bai Zirui said happily: "Brother, it's a coincidence that you came sooner than later. It just so happened that someone made room for us."

After speaking, he walked into the tavern first, He Yuzhu and Nan Yi followed behind him step by step, and walked towards the vacant seat just now.

When the waiter saw a guest coming, he quickly cleaned the table and wiped the table and stool with a rag.

After the three sat down, they asked with a smile, "Three comrades, what would you like?"

Bai Zirui said with a smile: "Brother, Brother Nan, what side dishes do you want to eat? I heard from the two uncles in our recycle bin that the proprietress of this tavern is very good at making secret pickles. Would you like to try some? "

He Yuzhu said: "Zi Rui, we've never been here before, just keep an eye on it!"

Bai Zirui nodded and said, "Okay, I'm here to order, pork skin jelly, sesame tofu, five-spice peanuts, small pickles, fennel beans, braised pig's trotters, three bowls of noodles with fried sauce and a pound of Erguotou. I ordered this first. If it’s not enough, we’ll ask for more.”

The waiter will write down the dishes and noodles that Bai Zirui ordered, and said with a smile: "Three comrades, please wait a moment, your food and drinks will be ready soon."

The waiter handed the wine menu ordered by Bai Zirui to the back kitchen and asked them to prepare the dishes. First, he served Bai Zirui and the others a pot of tea to clear their mouths.

Bai Zirui sipped tea and explained to the two of them: "I went to visit a senior today, and I haven't had time to eat until now. I'll eat a bowl of noodles to pad my stomach first, and then have a good glass of wine."

The dishes that Bai Zirui ordered were all cold dishes, and the back kitchen quickly prepared them, and the noodles with fried sauce were quickly prepared and served on the table together.
