Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 87 Selling beer in Beijing

It's true that these two little guys went out to play for two days after the holiday. The rest of the time they were either practicing, cleaning up the house, or studying. Especially yesterday, the two of them had to wash so many things by themselves. Zhu Xuefeng himself was shocked. Excuse me.

This holiday made me more tired than going to school. I really ignored it. There were still weekends to go to school. My younger brothers and sisters were still children after all, so I deprived them of the fun of playing.

Zhu Xuefeng patted Zhu Xuesong's head and looked at Zhu Xuemei's expectant eyes.

"What a big deal. It's my brother who was negligent and treated you like child laborers. I apologize. If there is anything that I didn't expect in the future, please remind me immediately."

"I just said that my eldest brother would agree, huh."

Zhu Xuemei sipped the porridge, and Zhu Xuesong also happily ate eggs.

"You don't have to stay at home every day. It's just like going to school. Every few days, you can take your sister to play. I may not be able to spare time to accompany you now."

This holiday was changed to once every few days. The two of them were very happy. At least they wouldn't be required to run on their rest days. It was really tiring.

Zhu Xuesong quickly stated that this matter must be finalized. It is related to the happiness of himself and his little sister, and yes, it is happiness.

"Brother, I'm going to review your studies. From now on, I'll take my sister out for a walk every few days. She won't have to go far, just to parks, movie theaters, etc. nearby."

"Go ahead, you don't have to worry about lunch. I'll take care of it. Forget it, you can handle it outside. I'll save the trouble."

……

The younger brother and sister were released, and Zhu Xuefeng was also planning to go out. If this car was to be produced, he would need to find some oil. It couldn't be provided. There was no other way. To find oil, he had to go to the entrusted store to try it.

"Hey, Uncle Yang, where are you going? You're going out early in the morning with a thermos."

Uncle Yang is from the backyard, and his son also works in the steel rolling mill. I can't remember whether he works in the workshop or in the logistics. When Zhu Xuefeng was pouring seafood, he even said hello in the factory area.

"Brother Feng, don't you know? The brewery sells beer at the gatehouse every day. No tickets are required. I have to buy some. This thing is liquid bread. I'm satisfied."

I heard about it two days ago. The brewery now sells real beer without tickets. There are many people queuing up every day. In the past, this beer was not popular in the capital.

According to the old man, this brewery has been open for decades, and few people like to drink it. They all think that the beer is yellow in color and the foam is like horse urine. It tastes bitter and makes you burp after swallowing it. , not delicious at all, just good for your stomach.

But it has become very popular in recent years, and every household does not have enough food to eat. I heard that this is liquid bread, which is nutritious and can keep you full. The key is that you don’t need to pay for it. The price is also cheap, only [-] cents per liter in bulk. I want to buy some.

In the past, it was only available in joint-venture and state-owned restaurants, and you had to order two dishes before they would sell them. Nowadays, supply and marketing cooperatives occasionally have them, and breweries also sell them directly. I guess it's also for stomach problems.

Those carrying thermoses, plastic pots, oil pots, and those directly carrying basins had already queued up. Zhu Xuefeng was busy some time ago and didn't bother to take care of it. Now he is getting a little excited. After all, he hasn't had a drink since he came here. Pass.

"Uncle, you go first, I will go home and see if there is an empty pot."

"Okay, I'll go then. If you go late, you may not be able to get in line. You have to hurry up..."

Uncle Yang reminded him and left in a hurry.

……

Zhu Xuefeng turned around and came back. After searching, he found that there was really no suitable container, so he just carried the pot. He poured one out not long ago, and now it is just a pot filled with beer. Someone came and couldn't even make tea, so he forgot to change the bottle. Be brave.

Forget it, it's not cold beer. The taste of warm beer is really not good to drink. Let's get down to business first and get some beer to drink on ice.

I got on the bike and walked slowly to the commission shop. The materials of this bike were so solid that it couldn’t be ridden very fast. I had to get the motorcycle out as soon as possible.

As soon as I walked in, I saw Qian Chuanzi cleaning the counter, and he was quite diligent. "Brother Feng, why are you free to come here today?"

When Qian Chuanzi saw Zhu Xuefeng coming in, he said hello, put down the feather duster, and walked over.

I'm still a little strange in my heart. I said a few days ago that I don't have much to collect now. I only need to come once a week. I also paid a lot of money in advance. I haven't spent much yet. Why did I come this morning?

Zhu Xuefeng took a look and saw that there were no customers in the store. A salesperson was looking at the goods and talking about something, while an old man was sleeping on his stomach.

"That's our Mr. Ma Liu, who's in charge of the eyes. The wiring on this second floor is too noisy..."

Zhu Xuefeng had never dealt with Mr. Liu, and there was no need to, so he asked Qian Chuanzi in a low voice.

"I have something to do with you. See if you can get these gas tickets."

Zhu Xuefeng didn't talk nonsense. After dealing with each other for so long, the two of them were already familiar with each other, so polite words were unnecessary.

The two slowly walked outside the store and stood under the eaves outside the store.

"This, I can only give it a try. These gas coupons are only available in various agencies and units. If you don't confiscate them, there is no chance."

Zhu Xuefeng also knows that ordinary people don't use gasoline now, and basically don't have private cars now. Except for "national...capitalists", they are not short of money, and they may not necessarily have tickets.

After thinking about it, these people should stop making other people’s ideas.

"You should pay attention first and see if the drivers in each unit are troubled."

Qian Chuanzi rarely dealt with the public, so he had no choice but to approach the road section chief. But this time he was owed a lot of favors and hadn't even delivered the goods yet, so he was embarrassed to speak.

After chatting with Qian Chuanzi for a while, they collected the votes and said goodbye.

I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a bottle bladder, which I carefully brought home. Damn it, I was so stupid. Without the bladder, the bottom of the thermos was completely corroded and it would be useless as soon as it was dismantled.

Whose thermos doesn't come in pairs? I had no choice but to make another trip and buy two new ones. The salesperson looked at them a few more times and probably scolded me for being silly. Now, three are not bad. One person per person is reasonable, but it is definitely too late to queue for a beer now.

……

It's better to go to the motorcycle factory to see the progress, otherwise I will always be unable to calm down and work. I still care about my first product.

Zhu Xuefeng was now like an employee of a motorcycle factory. He entered the gate directly and arrived at the workshop where Lao Xie was busy.

Seeing Zhu Xuefeng coming, Lao Xie quickly greeted him.

"Boy, I came just in time. I just wanted to inform you. It's done. It's all done. Now we just want to see what kind of thing you made."

Zhu Xuefeng originally just wanted to see the progress, and had no intention of assembling it in the factory. This would be a big deal, so it would be inappropriate to refuse. Master Xie and the others were very helpful.

"Thank you, Master, are you really done with it? It's so fast. There were still several processes when I left the day before yesterday."

"We were anxious too, and just wanted to see what we had been working on for a long time. We finished it in a hurry, and by chance, you delivered it to our door."

Master Xie just wanted to see what it was about, but he still doesn't understand how he solved the piston and cylinder problems at that time.
