"Good, good! Mr. Liang, I remember! " Ma Lili looked at her and said with a smile, "how do I feel that you are more nagging than the teacher of that year?"

Liang Xiaosu pretended to give her a white look. When can ma Lili's character be changed?! I thought she would be more stable after she gave birth to a baby and became a mother. I didn't expect that she would still be so prosperous. She didn't change at all!

Ma Lili really drove a lot slower. The car turned a few lanes and came to a very quiet lane. Ma Lili parked the car at the entrance of the lane.

Where is this?! Liang Xiaosu really feels strange.

Is there such a quiet alley in Xinjiang city?! She has lived here for more than 20 years. Why hasn't she found out?!

"Lily, where is this?" Liang Xiaosu couldn't help asking.

"Ha ha - if I sell you now, can't you find your way home?" Ma Lili said with a smile.

"Seriously, how can I feel like I haven't been here?" Liang Xiaosu took Ma Lili's arm and said.

"This place has a new look. This is a small alley in the middle of Zhongshan Road. It used to be very dilapidated and old folk houses. In the past two years, the government has allocated some money to repair it. It says that this is an ancient folk house with Wu style. This alley is called Jinyi lane. According to the old style, all the old houses have been repaired. The uneven road surface has been replaced by the bluestone pavement now. With such dim lights, does it feel like a bit of crossing? "

Jinyi lane?! Liang Xiaosu tried to find the name of the road in her mind. It seemed that she didn't have any impression of this ancient almost forgotten alley.

However, the lane in front of us looks really good.

The houses on both sides are old Wu style buildings, with cornices, white walls, grey tiles, old wooden doors, and some traces of New Year pictures on the doors.

There are also a pair of stone lions at some gates, but because of the years of grinding, they have become a little mottled.

Liang Xiaosu holding Ma Lili's hand, two people walk slowly in the alley on the bluestone board, the sole of the high-heeled shoes make a clear sound, in this quiet alley appears so charming.

Such alleys should have some stories. Why didn't Liang Xiaosu remember such alleys in Xinjiang city?! She felt a little curious.

"Lily, how do you know this place?! I don't think I've ever heard of it, "Liang said, looking up at the characteristic houses on both sides.

"Ha ha - my grandmother used to live in this alley," Ma Lili said. "This alley has some history. It is said that in the Qing Dynasty, we had a champion in Xinjiang city, which caused a sensation in the whole town at that time. Because there were not many people in our small place who won the first prize, winning a champion broke history. At that time, the number one scholar was called Lin Daqin. It is said that Lin Daqin later became an official of the second grade, which can be said to be glorious. Later, Lin Da Qin returned to his hometown in fine clothes. The village specially built a number one scholar's Square for him, but it was smashed by the four old buildings during the cultural revolution. When Lin Daqin returned to his hometown, he built this lane. At that time, the people named it Zhuangyuan lane. He said that Lin Daqin didn't agree and later changed it to Jinyi lane, which means to commemorate Lin Daqin's return to his hometown. Originally, this alley should have become the most famous scenic spot in Xinjiang city, but later it was changed beyond recognition because of the ten-year catastrophe. The residents here also moved out one after another, and the houses became more and more dilapidated, which was gradually forgotten. "

Liang Xiaosu was surprised that Ma Lili knew so much about the history. And she really hasn't heard of it at all. It seems that no one has ever mentioned this place.

Liang Xiaosu lives in the east of the city, which is the west of the city. When she was a child, she never came here or heard from adults.

"Who told you all this?" Liang Xiaosu asked curiously.

"My grandfather told me that when he was alive, because my grandfather's surname was Lin, and he was a descendant of Lin Daqin. I don't know what generation he was. But when I was a child, my grandfather was very proud when he told me this, as if it happened to him! Many of Lin's descendants have gone overseas, and some of them are already leaders of large consortia. In recent years, the municipal Party committee has appropriated funds to repair this place, in order to let Lin's descendants return to Xinjiang city to seek roots and worship their ancestors, and to bring Lin's financial group back to Xinjiang city for investment. That's why we see this newly restored Jinyi Lane today - "Ma Lili said.

"Oh, it's your grandfather's family history!" Liang Xiaosu suddenly realized.

However, on such a cold night, does Ma Lili want to bring her here to blow the northwest wind and see the scenery?! I'm so busy!

"It's nothing to do with my grandfather," Ma Lili said. "I want to bring you here to experience a different life!"

With that, Ma Lili led Liang Xiaosu to the middle of the alley.

Liang Xiaosu is very strange! What are you doing here?!

See in front of a very nostalgic very simple bar! This is a typical style of Jiangnan Water Town, with white walls and grey tiles and red lanterns, which has great visual impact. On the lintel, there are five words of "old time bar".

Ma Lili pulls Liang Xiaosu in.

After going in, it's even more unique.

It's a large courtyard with three entrances. It's a house built by the richest people of Xinjiang generation. Liang Xiaosu heard her grandfather say that her hometown is also such a house, but it has been divided up for a long time. When she went to see it, it was beyond recognition. All kinds of small side houses built in disorder completely destroyed the original complete and magnificent house.

The house in front of us is very well preserved. The patio, the wing room and the lobby are all so neat without any damage. Now it is decorated as a bar, which is very quiet, really like a paradise. Under the orange light, there are many customers sitting in the middle seat of the lobby tasting wine. The soft music flows in every corner, making people feel a little out of the body, as if they have entered another time and space!

In such a forgotten alley in Xinjiang city, there is such a bar hidden! It's amazing!

Liang Xiaosu felt as if he was an outsider in the city, and he didn't know anything about it.

Ma Lili pulls Liang Xiaosu and walks directly into a private room in the side room.

This private room is a small room in the East chamber. The layout inside is very simple, but very elegant.

A medium-sized small round table is Baroque style, with three bar sofas and a chandelier tied by a long rope on the top, hanging over the round table. The orange light is warm, and the blue don't forget me on the table is blooming quietly. The romantic and aesthetic feeling makes this small space particularly warm.

Not long after they sat in, a tall and handsome young man came to the private room and said to Ma Lili enthusiastically: "sister Lili, I haven't seen you here for a long time. The drinks tonight are even for me to invite you! For your comeback

"Ha ha - that feeling is good!" Ma Lili said with a smile, "you can make the best cocktails for us. I'm here to drink with my best sister today. That's to make her drink the world's top cocktails in our own territory. You can do it!"

"That's for sure!" The young man said with a smile, "who is this?"

"This is my best friend, Liang Xiaosu, the current Secretary of the Communist Youth League Municipal Committee." Ma Lili solemnly introduced.

"Oh - nice to meet you!" The young man was very surprised to come forward and hold Liang Xiaosu's hand, "Secretary Liang is so young and promising! My name is Lin an. Nice to meet Secretary Liang! "

"Hello Liang Xiaosu had to stand up and shake hands with Lin an.

"Ha ha - Lin an, the 18th generation grandson of the number one scholar Lin Daqin, came back from the United States last year and opened this" old time "bar, which is completely in accordance with the decoration style and business model of foreign countries. At present, it is the first place in Xinjiang city that only high-end people know about -" Ma Lili said.

Liang Xiaosu nodded. It's the first time I've heard about it.

It's just, can there be business in such a location? Liang Xiaosu thinks it's quite strange why he wants to open in such a remote alley instead of choosing a more prosperous street shop. From the perspective of business, it must be a place with a lot of customers that can do business well. How many people can know about this place?

Lin an left soon.

Liang Xiaosu tells Ma Lili her doubts.

Unexpectedly, Ma Lili said with a smile: "this is Lin's ancestral home. The government helps him repair and decorate it for free. There is no rent or tax. Lin an wants to realize his dream of opening a bar in his hometown. So I chose this place. He doesn't care about the number of guests. What he cares about is that he can make the best cocktails, and what he cares about is this very relaxed and comfortable lifestyle, which is totally different from what we pursue in China. I thought about that at that time. Later, after Lin an told me his ideal, I thought it was very good. Money is certainly one of the goals that people pursue, but when a person no longer needs to work hard for money, he should choose the life he wants and realize his ideal

Liang Xiaosu thinks why Ma Lili speaks so deeply today? Make her almost don't know in front of this Ma Lili!

"Well, if there are no customers, the cocktails he makes are not recognized and interesting?" Liang Xiaosu said, puzzled.

"Of course, there are customers. It's just a matter of how many customers there are. At the beginning, there were few, but now there are many. When we came in just now, you saw that there were a lot of people sitting in the lobby! There are so many wing rooms, and those in the back are also private rooms. If they are full, the flow of people is very considerable. Don't underestimate such a place. Now in Xinjiang city, it's a dating place for the upper class! If you come here a few more times, you will know! Maybe we can meet our leaders here! " Ma Lili said with a smile.

"Can a great leader come to such a place?" Liang Xiaosu doesn't believe it.
