For customers, the most important thing is always the price - Auntie's pricing, offline operation, quite conscientious, and the choice is so rich, from large and small brands in Europe and America to Qingdao puree in China, even if you can't afford to drink 1,400 yuan of snake venom (of course, it's not necessary), there is always Asahi beer to save your night, the price of ten yuan, compared to the whole family convenience store is conscientious.

In addition to the freezer at the entrance full of soft drinks, the bar is a snack processing that is unique to the new store, and only the simplest frozen food defrosting and heating service is made, including sausages, fries, pizza, and 35/12 fried dumplings.

Although there is a sign on the bar table prohibiting take-out food, after personal testing, as long as you don't order Haidilao takeout, no one will look at you twice. If you're embarrassed to be thin-skinned, there are Torres chips and Huang Feihong next to it to buy and drink. It's also interesting to note that despite the no-smoking signs throughout the store, there are cigarette shelves directly across from the cashier.

If it is only based on the photos left by the former Haifu convenience store, it seems that there is no essential difference between the new store and the old store, and the aunt continues to expand the number and category boundaries with the simple belief of "more, bigger, stronger".

It's like picking up your own drinks, bringing your own takeaway, and the products you sell don't mix with a bar's positioning of your own selection - just make a profit. It's not a bad thing to do business and make money.

It is this kind of quick and direct logic that has decisively made Haifu convenience store jump over many bottle shops or craft breweries and become today's beer aunt. The constant flow of people in her shop is because you can walk into the store at noon on a casual weekday and order a few beers for an afternoon, because the fashionable aunts and uncles can easily blend in, and because the young newlyweds with children can also party here occasionally without guilt.

The atmosphere here is always the most beer-beer-friendly.

Warm and comfortable, easy-going and simple.

The rise of a phenomenon, the change of face of a convenience store, or the anecdote of an aunt?

When Auntie took off the sign of the Haifu convenience store and replaced it with Auntie Beer, we could no longer discuss the two in a simple way.

Speaking of my aunt, in order to be busy with the opening of the new store, in the past few months, I have supervised the decoration during the day, and at night there are full of wine merchants or regular customers who want to talk about things, and the aunt, who is nearly 50 years old, can only sleep three or four hours a day, and the intensity of work is unimaginable to ordinary people.

The second time I saw her, my aunt rode a small bullet train (she called the scooter a bullet train) and made a special trip to bring some barbecue to the employees of the old store in Fahua Town.

When she asked for an interview, she listened intently, looking directly into the speaker's eyes, but she couldn't hide her tiredness from the corners of her mouth, and she struggled to mobilize her facial muscles before answering, and put together a smile for me: "Little girl, I can't do it today, I'm too tired, next time we'll make an appointment in advance, okay?"

Her voice was hoarse to the point of almost losing her voice, and she moved closer to me to try to make me hear better.

On the night of the Qixi Festival, it was the third time I saw her, and with the mentality that I could at least talk, I wanted to invite her to have a drink first.

The store manager Xiao Huang packed the ticket to me and said that he would call my aunt's favorite beer (one of the white beers in the faucet), and just brought it to my aunt, my aunt waved her hand anxiously, "I don't drink alcohol now, go and bring a cup of tea!" There was no tea in the tea served, white chrysanthemums and red wolfberries floated, poured into a large Pilsner cup, looking healthy.

At the end of the white beer, my aunt insisted that I drink it.

She sat on the sofa by the wine shelf in the back, and at ten o'clock in the evening the wine merchant who had an appointment came to talk to her. When she was talking, she sat up straight, looking much taller than usual, her legs were spread apart and steady, and her hands were resting on her knees in reverse, with the momentum of guiding the world.

During the two hours of sitting next to her and drinking, if no one came to talk to her, she would seize every minute, leaning on a pillow and closing her eyes on the sofa to take a nap, her phone next to her, and constantly reminding her of new messages to light up the screen. She also didn't sleep well, she would get up from time to time, walk around the store with her hands behind her back, and pat her shoulders to talk to regular customers when she saw them.

At twelve o'clock in the morning, she said goodbye to me, "We're going to move the goods to the new store, I'm really sorry, little girl, let's make an appointment next time." ”

I wondered why she had to do such a small thing as moving the goods herself, and the aunt smiled noncommittally, as if considering how to answer my question, and only enthusiastically stretched out her arm to take me and patted me on the shoulder again: Auntie, please have a drink little girl.

Anyone can walk in and have a drink, and you may feel that the place is noisy and crowded, but it does not prevent others from loving it freely and easily. Time travels back and forth, but Auntie Beer is still here, generously opening her arms to show all the curious people a world that is always colorful and magnificent, brightly lit and open all year round.

Many people say that Aunt Beer is very magical, business-minded, shrewd, and some of the unique cleverness of the people of Magic. But Aunt Beer and her shop seem to represent a certain side of the Magic City – hip, spacious, and more importantly: if you're really good, you'll have a place in the Magic City, even if you're just an elderly aunt. The fire is on fire, and the four seasons of the magic capital are quietly rotating in this ordinary and warm fragrance.
