Chapter 250: Magic

Enough of the freshness outside, a few people should enter the house.

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as what Chen Liquan said.

As soon as Hong Yanwu and Shui Qing followed Li Fugang to push the door in, they saw that there were four large deep pits in the room, which were neatly and evenly distributed.

It has a diameter of about one meter and a depth of half a meter.

If it weren't for the fact that there were springs in advance, these two would have to be frightened.

But except for these few pits, which are unpredictable, the rest of the house is quite ordinary, and it can even be said to be disappointing.

Because it can only be described by the word "simple".

The walls are white and dazzlingly white.

But the space is hollow, and not even a painted wall fence has been painted.

As for the ground, only the house is paved with green bricks, and the other houses are all concrete.

The roof is papier-mΓ’chΓ©, and there are not many lights.

There are only two simple chandeliers in each room, and there is not even a lamp hat.

The tables, chairs and benches are all made of firewood, which is not of grade at all.

Just these guys, sit for a few years, and they will have to "make a noise".

If you want to say that the only one in the house is magnificent, that is, the big cabinet that can put things in the back, settle accounts in front, and put wine jars on the account table.

It should be from Hong Yanzheng's craftsmanship, using walnut wood.

The paint is shiny and shiny, and it is the only serious thing that can see a little grandeur.

Hey, don't say it, it's really like what Li Fu said, the old man didn't waste a penny on decoration.

But this is also a little picky, where is there still a way to do business?

Hong Yanwu and Shui Qing glanced at each other and couldn't help but shake their heads in unison.

They didn't see Li Fu either, and they just said it when they had something to say.

Hong Yanwu spoke first.

"Uncle Li, this room is too cold, and it's not white. It's clean, but what's the difference between it and a warehouse? Can anyone else be happy to drink here?"

Unexpectedly, Li Fu shook his head indifferently.

That's not true. You don't understand, do you? This is what our taverns in the capital are like. What are we people in the capital drinking in the tavern? It's just a lively popularity. In this place, the rich and the poor come, the poor want to be able to afford to enter, and the rich want to be uninhibited. ”

"As long as the wine and food are delicious, the warm wine is self-satisfied, and there are people here who can chat with you, laugh and laugh and laugh, and try to be at ease. Nothing else matters. ”

"Who cares about the environment, pays attention to the rich and the poor, and there are big restaurants in Zhuangzi? Why do you want to come here?"

Hey, that's true, Hong Yanwu was gagged and speechless.

The rest was Shui Qing's turn to ask questions.

"Uncle Li, can you tell me what these pits are for? I really can't figure it out, I really haven't seen a tavern in a pit in the house?"

Li Fu was happy to hear her ask.

"Oh, it looks fresh, right? Then I want to ask you, why is the tavern in our capital called 'big wine tank'?

"Hey, yes. These big pits are used for putting wine jars, and when the wine jars are buried in the soil, they will not move the nest in the future. The wine in our tavern will have to be stored in these few jars in the future. ”

"It's good to put wine in a jar like this. One is that it is cheap and convenient to buy wine in large quantities, and you can take it at any time when the wine jar on the cabinet is sold out. The second is that as long as the wine is continued to be refilled, the bottom of the tank will be thickened, which is the natural wine mother. In other words, the longer this vat is used in the future, the more mellow our wine will become. ”

"But that's not all, these tanks are not in vain. On the cylinder port, the big red lacquered wooden lid will be covered when you turn around. Stools will also be placed around the vats, which can be used as tables. ”

"Think about it, in winter, when you hear the fierce north wind howling, drink according to the jar, what is it like? This is the only heroism of our people in the capital. This drinking method has a special name, which is called drinking 'martial wine'. If you go out of the capital, you will never be able to find a second place even if you look at the whole world. ”

"It's a pity that this kind of trade has been extinct for too long, and even the tavern that is temporarily stored now has no tank. Otherwise, if an old store is unwilling to do it, we must be able to follow someone else's old wine tank, then it is appropriate. It's just like the tank of 'Beiyixing' back then, it comes from the Qianjia period, it's really a hundred-year-old treasure, and it can be turned into wine when mixed with water......"

Well, these words made Shui Qing and Hong Yanwu very interested.

They really didn't expect that they originally thought that "big wine tank" was the joking name of the tavern, and the dare to love was really worthy of the name.

And it was described so interestingly by Li Fu.

Thinking about it, if you sell wine like this, everyone sits around the vat to drink, which is really funny.

Especially when he heard the word "baby" from Li Fu's mouth, Hong Yanwu's eyes lit up.

The heart said that this is not the same thing as his dough fat and fried liver basin.

Is it really gone? That's a shame......

Greedy together, I want to ask again, but I haven't had a chance yet.

Because at this time, there was a sound in the back room on the left, and I saw Hong Lucheng taking the lead and leading a young man out of the back kitchen.

And even the old man and the guys, everyone has something in their hands.

Some held several stacks of blue and white plates, and some held wine jars, and went straight to the cabinet in the outhouse.

What else are you thinking about, the old man has done it himself, so let's hurry up and help.

So without delay, Hong Yanwu and Shui Qing hurriedly went over and called "Dad".

Then they rolled their arms and sleeves together, took over the things, and took the initiative to help out.

I really have to say that this little couple has done something when they come here today.

The people who dared to love the noon glass shop came.

The two big wooden cases that Hong Yanzheng had done had just been covered with glass.

Coincidentally, Lao Li went to the southern suburbs to find four large wine tanks with a height of one meter and two high, and they were also sent by a carriage in the morning.

So there's a lot of work to be done today.

Together with the rest of the group, they had to go first and carefully carry out the two wooden cases with glass covers.

Then carefully wipe the inside and outside of the glass cover.

Then lay a layer of red cloth, brush those blue and white plates, and put them in the glass cover in turn.

This is where the wine and food are placed.

It took an hour and a half.

Then there was still heavy physical work, so Hong Yanwu and his guys had to use water pipes and big brushes to clean the four large wine tanks inside and out.

Then you have to take the boiling water and scald the inside of the jar one by one.

That's how to roll into the house, and everyone work together to put them in the four big pits.

Finally, the ground is buried with soil and mud is paved with green bricks.

The wine vat was covered with a large red lacquered wooden lid, and it was really a busy stop.

Naturally, this has also been fully proven, and Li Fu's words have not been discounted.

This big wine vat is really genuine.

And at this time, when you look at this room again, it will naturally be another scene.

Four large porcelain jars had been placed on the large cabinet, and the mouth of the jar was a cork wrapped in a red coarse cloth.

The name of the wine is pasted on the jar, Mao San, Mao Qi, Lotus White, and Chrysanthemum White.

Behind it were wine warmers, and 200 porcelain wine glasses buckled upside down on red cloth.

and two large tea tea cans, and a bold bottle with a feather duster in it.

This is combined with the celadon basins in the two wooden glass covers next to the large cabinet, and the four large wine jars with red lacquer lids in the room.

Not to mention, the sound and charm of the tavern's wine and fragrance were brought out all of a sudden.

even makes people a little bit back to the illusion of the Republic of China, and it is enough to make movies.

Even Hong Yanwu himself felt that he was a little stupid about the simple idea of the house just now.

Because only such a tavern can taste enough and exude the breath of history.

If you really have to follow the modern decoration method, deliberately tidy up this house, and if you don't get it right, it will really ruin the atmosphere.

At the very least, it will seem very deliberate, and it will never be so peaceful and close.

So he couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and praised the tavern for doing a good job, and praised the old man as a connoisseur.

It's a boast, but this kid's eyes can't help but look at the blue and white disc in the glass cover.

He naturally couldn't hide his father from this little bit of caution.

Hong Lucheng was happy when he saw it.

"It's hard to figure it out, Guangxu's folk kiln is just that. You don't want to think about it, can you use good things here? This is the guy who drove into the city before the 'sun', and said that your uncle knew that I opened a tavern, and that he had specially given it to the guy he was looking for. The only good thing is that it is matching, and it is more old than ordinary porcelain. It's not worth it......"

Hong Lucheng said this, he didn't know what Hong Yanwu thought.

Not worth what?

Oh, my own father, you're putting it mildly.

Just these things, don't look cheap now, after a few decades, you can change cars for each one.

Well, you've got a lot of plates, that's a small parking lot.

Whoever wants to buy a drink or food will pay you for the parking fee.

Or do you have a personality?

Well, I like it......

Hong Yanwu was listening to his father while pondering to himself.

didn't expect Shui Qing to suddenly pull him and let him look at the wall.

He turned his head and realized that the guys in the dare shop had started to kick on the stools again, and hung things on the walls on both sides of the big cabinet.

What is hanging?

It's funny to say, but it turns out that they are all snacks and food written on wooden signs.

There are three stalls at the top of the powder wall, which are written in three columns: standing ready, timely, and staple food.

Next, on the nails nailed in a row, they will be sorted into categories, and the corresponding wooden signs with red cloth strips will be hung.

Like fried peanuts, boiled peanuts, dried tofu, spicy cabbage, tempeh tofu, mixed shredded tofu, dried shrimp beans, flowering beans, fried soybeans, rose dates, bean paste, salted duck eggs, Songhua eggs, squeaky boxes, fried river shrimp...... These are all common drinks and dishes at four times.

Like patting cucumbers, mixing amaranth, mixing flour skin, mixing spinach, mustard duner, toon beans, fresh lotus root, fried red fruit, fish jelly, crispy fish, fried small yellow flower fish...... It all has to be in season.

For the time being, there are three staple foods, rotten meat noodles, cannon mutton, and white fire.

This time, all the faults that Hong Yanwu could pick out just now are gone.

The wall is no longer empty, and it looks even more antique.

Hong Yanwu couldn't help but sigh again.

Hey, the old man is really good at magic.

Unexpectedly, just relying on the wine tank, blue and white plates, wooden brands, and a few very simple props, this room has become interesting and beautiful.

Absolutely turning decay into magic.

And most cleverly, I have to say that these things are not decorations for decoration's sake, and they are indeed used.

Let's talk about the wooden sign in front of you.

It can be picked, removed, turned, washed and rewritten, and it is easy to add new categories.

When the drinkers come, they don't have to struggle to see clearly, and they can know what is still and what is not.

Is there anything more affordable, more practical, and more interesting than this method of decoration?

Just looking at the names of these drinks and dishes makes people excited and hungry.

With these brands, anyone who thinks that this is not a place to drink is definitely either blind or stupid.

It's high, it's really high!

At this moment, Hong Yanwu and Shui Qing glanced at each other again.

But it's very different from just now, and the eyes of the two of them have become admiration from the heart.

They all seem to have come up with the phrase "turning stones into gold".
