Chapter 170 169 Beer
What Tang Zhitong said by "finished" was referring to the medicine flies.

Tang Zhitong cleaned the furniture where the rat poison was mixed, and poured the waste water into the water outlet at the base of the west wall. There were children at home, so no matter how careful you were, you couldn't be too careful.

Finally, I washed my hands and went back to the room to take out the thermos bottle.

"Mom, do you need boiling water? No need for me to pour it out." Tang Zhitong asked Zhang Guifang standing at the door of the main room.

"Pour it into the pot. I'll make some porridge later." Zhang Guifang looked around and saw that there was no place to use boiling water. She pointed to the pressure cooker on the ground and said, "Do you want to use a thermos bottle?"

"Hey, when I went home, I saw a beer seller in a tavern in the west. I'll go get some and try it." Qian is a hero's courage. With money and a better life, Tang Zhitong had enough confidence and confessed directly to his mother.

"Beer? This is the first time I've heard of it. Wait, I'll get you some money." After hearing this, Zhang Guifang showed no objection at all and even went to dig out the money from the drawer.

"Mom, no need, I have my own money. I'll go there and be back in a while." After Tang Zhitong finished speaking, he turned around and went out.

Not only Zhang Guifang had never heard of beer, but the neighbors also didn't know much about it. The tavern was struggling with sales, so Tang Zhitong came to the door.

"Excuse me, do you still have the beer?" After living in the flower market for so many years, Tang Zhitong knew that this tavern was previously opened by an old couple, but due to family conditions, they had never bought alcohol before. This is Tang Zhitong's first time entering the store. He doesn't know the rules or how to sell. Nowadays, most of the street shops are for a job, so it doesn't hurt to be polite.

"Yes, yes. How much do you want?" When I heard that I was here to buy beer, the lady at the front desk was very enthusiastic and asked with a smile on her face.

"Let me ask you first, do you need to buy anything to go with the beer?" Tang Zhitong took a look at the interior decoration of the tavern. The space inside the small facade is not big, and it feels like a front store and a back home. A small blackboard is hung at the front desk, and a certain side dish is added. How much beer costs, it's a set price at first glance.

"Look what you said, I don't want to buy or sell by force." The lady at the front desk said cheerfully.

"Then, let's buy three liters." Tang Zhitong took out the money and motioned to the eldest sister to issue an invoice. There is no matching sales at the moment. It will be difficult to tell after a while...

The reason Tang Zhitong wanted to buy beer was because it was too hot now! In addition, when I came back from get off work, I glanced at the notice posted outside the hotel door: Fresh beer, 0.26 yuan/liter.

Tang Zhitong was tempted after not drinking beer for a long time. He thought at the time that this might be draft beer. Now when he came in and took a look, it turned out to be draft beer. There is a large pottery vat inside the pub door, half of which is full of beer, exuding a unique malty aroma.

"It's open. This is an eight-pound thermos bottle. I'll fill it up for you, and I'll treat it as if you support the store." The eldest sister happily opened the order, took the money, and quickly brought Tang Zhitong wine to pour into it.

"Oh, I have to thank you for that." Eight pounds is 3.6 kilograms, and three liters is a bottle of beer for free. Kind words don't cost money, but words are necessary for the occasion.

"You're welcome. I have to thank you. I paired it with some beer. I never thought that no one in our area would ask. You are the first one and I'm almost worried to death about this vat of wine." The eldest sister quickly poured the thermos into the bottle. While drinking wine, he drank wine with Tang Zhitong.

"Hey, hey, sister, please slow down. This is not how beer is poured." Tang Zhitong saw the eldest sister's momentum and quickly stopped him. With this pouring method, half of the carbon dioxide in the beer can be turned into foam. "I understand, pump oil quickly and drink wine slowly. If I say I'll fill it up for you, I'll fill it up for you in the end." The eldest sister thought that Tang Zhitong was dissatisfied with pumping too fast, so she hurriedly explained. Come on.

"That's not the case with beer. Look, it's coming out, it's coming out." As the two of them were talking, white foam emerged from the mouth of the thermos bottle and poured out continuously.

"Hey? What's going on? I only drank two liters, why is there still foam? It can't be bad, right?" The eldest sister said at a loss as she looked at the foam.

"I'll come, I'll come." Tang Zhitong hurriedly took a chopstick from the front desk and went to the side dish to dip some vegetable soup. He quickly came back and inserted the chopstick into the mouth of the thermos bottle, then put his mouth to it and sucked the beer foam. There are water drops on the outside of the pottery jar, the beer is still cold, and the foam is delicious, but it is not strong and makes you irritated easily.

"Hey, it's an eye-opener this time. Brother, do you drink this wine often?" The eldest sister in the tavern looked at Tang Zhitong's skillful response, and her attitude became more enthusiastic.

"I drank with friends a few times." Seeing that the foam was no longer coming out of the mouth of the thermos bottle, Tang Zhitong put down the thermos bottle and touched the foam on his lips, firmly refusing to admit that he drank it often. This thing is an imported product, and only a small amount of it is sold in special stores. It is rare for ordinary people to see it. It is self-evident what it means to admit that it is a regular drinker.

"Teach the eldest sister the ropes here. I don't want you to teach me in vain. This bottle is free, and I will give you two more thermos bottles." The tavern eldest lady is a man who knows how to handle things, and she immediately made a decision.

"How can I take advantage of you? This beer is not the same as liquor. Besides the taste, there are many differences. Liquor is mostly drunk warm, while beer is best drunk cold..." Tang Zhitong didn't hide it, and gave it to him with his fingers. The tavern lady introduced.

Of course Tang Zhitong didn't mean to show off, let alone the two thermos bottles of beer. He wanted it for the half tank of beer. Food was already in short supply and the beer spoiled quickly. It would be a pity if he couldn't sell it.

"The winery put it down and ran away without even saying anything. This time I really learned a lot, thank you brother. I keep my word, I will give you a drink." After listening to Tang Zhitong's story, the eldest sister in the tavern suddenly became enlightened and bought two thermos bottles of beer. Tuition is not lost!

"Sister, this is not okay, you are doing business." Tang Zhitong refused.

"A favor gives a horse, and a business does not spare a needle. This store is a joint venture, but I have the final say. This is a favor between us siblings." The eldest lady in the tavern did not fill Tang Zhitong's thermos bottle first, but used a funnel to fill herself I took the thermos bottle and slowly poured it into it at an angle.

At this point, Tang Zhitong didn't want to take someone else's beer for free, so he suggested: "Sister, this beer, I heard it's also called liquid bread. Not only does it not cause heartburn, but it also makes you very hungry."

"I understand, thank you brother. My name is He Peilan. This store was originally managed by my parents. After joint venture, it was handed over to me." He Peilan was very smart and immediately understood what Tang Zhitong meant, and her name for Tang Zhitong immediately changed. Becoming "younger brother", the verbal relationship has become one step closer.

"My name is Tang Zhitong, and I live in Shijia Hutong on the east side." It seems that I have to get these two thermos bottles of beer, and introducing them will save the female shopkeeper from thinking about her thermos bottles, which are more valuable than beer.

As for joint ventures, Tang Zhitong knew the ropes. Joint ventures are more aimed at large productive enterprises. For some small businesses, the control from above is not wide-ranging. The production materials are already in their hands. No matter who sells them, they will be the same. There must be some way to survive for ordinary small traders like He Peilan. ? Besides, people also have their own role to play, and they can do some jobs that the iron job holders would be embarrassed to do and cannot do.
