Chapter 21 The Beginning of Metoo
In the end, under Liu Feixiang's soft grinding and hard bubbles, the old man Chi Yuchen still decided to rent the house to Liu Feixiang, patted Liu Feixiang's shoulder with a little sentimentality, and said: "Promise me, treat him well, this is the only thing I think about in Lotus." ”
Chi Yuchen's eyes were a little gloomy, mixed with reluctance and a little firm, after all, his wife had been gone for more than two years, and he couldn't accompany the small bookstore to grow old alone, his children and grandchildren all wanted to accompany them, maybe the appearance of Liu Feixiang, a young man, was also arranged by his wife.
In this way, in the morning, Liu Feixiang became the tenant of the old man Chi Yuchen, the contract was prepared a long time ago, signed every five years, the rent was 8,000, Liu Feixiang immediately went to the bank to withdraw 40,000 yuan to pay the old man, so as not to pay the trouble every year, but the old man only received 30,000 yuan, and said: "Actually, I am not short of money to spend, the house is free for you to use, but you have to give an explanation to the children, you take good care of the house for me, it is more real than how much money you give me!" The old man has already sorted out his sentimentality and is ready to leave tomorrow without any attachment.
"Why don't I send you tomorrow?" Although the contact was not right, Liu Feixiang still respected the old man very much, and he was also a little sentimental inexplicably, and said.
"You don't need it, you better plan to clean up here, I haven't cleaned it up well in the past two years, take the key, after tomorrow, this place will be yours." The old man said with a smile.
Well, Liu Feixiang was not hypocritical, he agreed, and taking care of this bluestone building was the greatest relief to the old man.
。。。。
In the next few days, Liu Feixiang was busy, cleaned up the bluestone building, applied for a business license, and so on, so that Liu Feixiang ran up and down, and what was more interesting was that when the industrial and commercial registration was registered, the reception staff of the industrial and commercial registration window told Liu Feixiang that there was no option to clear the bar, so that he could choose the same from the bar and the restaurant, so that he finally registered a drink shop, and the drink was a drink, anyway, he mainly sold a few cocktails and coffee. Metoo was finally registered.
In the midst of busyness, time always flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's the weekend again.
After calculating the time, I haven't seen Liu Ruyu for about three or four days. Although there were a few phone calls in the middle, Liu Feixiang never told Liu Ruyu the news of renting the bluestone building, thinking of giving her a surprise.
When Wang Wei called, Liu Feixiang was sweating profusely carrying the bookshelves in the small building. There were still few books left, which he had already put away, and kept them for the old man in a large bookcase on the second floor, and these bookshelves had been moved just enough to be used as partitions. Some bookshelves still have some books left by the old man that Liu Feixiang thinks are interesting and in-depth, while on some bookshelves, Liu Feixiang plans to buy some more handicrafts or succulents to enhance the visual effect.
The quaint log bookshelves, staggered, with warm lighting, coupled with a large solid wood bar counter customized by Liu Feixiang, and a wine cabinet from top to bottom, are enough to create a different kind of literary and artistic style in this small bar.
Looking at the scene in front of him, coupled with Wang Wei's pure voice, Liu Feixiang was in a good mood: "What's wrong? Wang Wei? Is there something?"
"Yo, Mr. Liu, what you said, can't you call you if you don't have something? This is not thanks to you, I have also sent this bonus, and I am ready to send it to the door to kill you, and you don't care about people at all. Wang Wei said with a smile.
"How can you think that you Zheng Zheng is going to talk about sand and gravel, I heard that you are now your Zheng Zheng's right-hand man, and you still think you are together?" Liu Feixiang explained.
"It's finally a holiday, so I have to have some private space, how about it? Mr. Liu, give me a face, let me thank you?" Wang Wei continued.
"No, I'll invite you, don't I owe you a beating, do you have time now?
"Yes, are you off work today, do you still need my help with something? Wang Wei simply replied.
"Then you go to the West Gate of Lotus No. 3 Middle School, tell me when you arrive, and I'll go out to pick you up. After Liu Feixiang finished speaking, he hung up the phone. My vision is still more male, and I happen to be not familiar with the flower and handicraft market in Lianhua County, Wang Wei, who is a salesman, can just make up for these shortcomings, so I simply asked her to help refer to it and take the opportunity to buy some good-looking succulents. Since you want to take a literary and artistic style, why don't you just open up your words?
Wang Wei's movements were fast, and she arrived in less than five minutes, and Liu Feixiang saw Wang Wei's pretty figure when he went out.
"Hey, what's going on here, so fast?" asked Liu Feixiang.
"That's, Mr. Liu called, I'm on call at any time, say, is there anything you need me to help with?" Wang Wei said happily.
"Come on, look at my new home. After speaking, he took Wang Wei into the bluestone building.
Wang Wei, who followed Liu Feixiang into the bluestone building, was shocked by the next scene from the heart, in this era when smartphones were just beginning to be popularized, feelings were just a handful of petty bourgeoisie's playthings, in a small county like Lotus, Qing Bar has never appeared, looking at the scattered bookcases, wooden tables and chairs, and a variety of foreign wines that have never been seen before, as well as some of Liu Feixiang's careful thinking pictorials, and the flash "Metoo" made of Alec The visual and sensory impact on Wang Wei is unparalleled.
With this glance alone, Wang Wei could imagine that if Liu Feixiang's place was opened to the outside world, it would inevitably trigger a trend in Lotus. "Mr. Liu, are you going to open a store?
"How's it going? Okay, aren't you?I'm going to make a clean bar, our Lotus nightlife is too monotonous, in addition to the barbecue at night is singing, I still like to be quiet, so I made such a place by myself, drink some wine and listen to the stories of those youths." Liu Feixiang said proudly.
"It's okay to start and finish, Mr. Liu, I dare to say that if your place is open, be careful of being stepped on by the young man. I've never seen such a decoration in Lotus? I have to say that I really can't compare with your vision. Wang Wei sighed.
"Okay, don't boast, today I mainly want you to help buy some crafts and succulents to decorate the bookcase, I don't know where to buy these, so I'll trouble you. Liu Feixiang said with a smile.
"Okay, you're looking for me to find the right person, I promise to give you the satisfaction of the decoration, I have a lot of succulents at home, and I'm familiar with the places where Lotus sells succulents, but I'm good at handicrafts, and I don't know your vision." Wang Wei continued.
"It's okay, let's buy succulents first, anyway, I'm not in a hurry to open, it just so happens that the wine I have entered hasn't come yet, so I can't buy some ceramics from the Internet and put them back." Liu Feixiang said.
After speaking, the two of them went their separate ways, Wang Wei went to buy succulents, and Liu Feixiang continued to toss those bookcases.
When Wang Wei came back, Liu Feixiang realized that he was right to invite Wang Wei over today, watching Wang Wei bring back more than a dozen pots of succulents of different sizes in large and small pots, each pot has its own characteristics, and it is just right to put it on the bookcase, I have to admire that women's eyes are really much stronger than men.
Rejected the money handed over by Liu Feixiang, Wang Wei said: "I don't have much money, so don't be polite to me, we're all friends, aren't we?"
Liu Feixiang was not hypocritical, took back the money in his hand and said: "I found out that I really have a lot of things to trouble you, my vision, it's not as delicate as you women, let's not be busy, it's really time for you to come, I just opened a bottle of fifteen-year-old blue label whiskey in the morning, come, taste it." As he spoke, he poured about one-third of the wine for Wang Wei, of course, he was afraid that Wang Wei would not be able to drink it, and Liu Feixiang deliberately added a few more ice cubes.
Wang Wei took the wine glass, took a sip, and then fell in love with this delicate taste and a little light sea flavor wine, Wang Wei's work nature determines that she has drunk a lot of wine before, but it is basically a strong aromatic liquor such as lotus puree, the taste is spicy, not in line with her taste at all, and even once disgusted with liquor, but today Liu Feixiang handed over this glass of wine, in such an environment, Wang Wei was a little drunk for a while, and even thought in her heart, if she was the hostess here, how good it would be.
However, after hearing that the small cup she drank cost 80 yuan, Wang Wei secretly said that the world of rich people is not something she can enjoy, so she took a small sip and said to Liu Feixiang: "Mr. Liu, I don't have the money to drink such an expensive wine of yours, and your glass of wine is as low as my ration for a few days! But if you give me a cheaper price, I really want to taste more of your different wine." ”
"Hey, don't always call me Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu, it's awkward to listen to, just call me flying, my friends call me that, my wine, if you want to drink, just come to rub the wine often, I open here for friends to play, don't mention what money is not money, vulgar. Liu Feixiang waved his hand again and again and said.
"Then this is what you said, I tasted this bite, and I can feel that your wine is really good, I will often come to rub the wine in the future, come, boss, pour me another glass." As he spoke, he drank all the wine in the cup, looking at how heroic he was.
Liu Feixiang smiled and poured a little more for Wang Wei and said: "This wine is not how you drink it, you have to taste it slowly, you are careful to get drunk for a while, you drink it first, and I will get you some snacks." ”
Looking at the back of Liu Feixiang turning away, the bright sunlight outside the window shone in, and the smell of books wafting in the Metoo bar, Wang Wei was in a trance for a while, the man in front of her was really not in the same world as herself.
Wang Wei helped in the bluestone building for two consecutive days, and also drank Liu Feixiang's entire bottle of 15-year-old blue label whisky, but it also made Liu Feixiang indifferent, it was a lot easier to clean up, everything was almost ready, and then the coffee beans and wine came to open the business, Liu Feixiang also looked forward to Liu Ruyu seeing this in the future. As long as Wang Wei is just a diligent and a little greedy little girl.
Wednesday, rain.
Liu Feixiang had already inquired through Liu Mei, Liu Ruyu was in the morning of the first or second quarters of the morning today, and there was no class all afternoon, so he ran out of the unit in advance and came to his own bluestone building.
The light rain cleaned the small city of Lianhua County very warmly, Liu Feixiang didn't like to be lively, so he didn't tell Wang Wei, let alone make a firecracker or something ceremony, just hung up the quaint art signboard, and it was considered to be open.
called Liu Ruyu and asked her to meet at the west gate of the third middle school, and then looked forward to it.
