The first bar in the Sanlitun bar cluster appeared in 1989, when it was mainly concentrated in South Sanlitun. Last year, that is, in April 1995, two young people invested 100,000 yuan to open a bar on Sanlitun North Street, which is equivalent to the Sanlitun bar group showing signs of moving to Sanlitun North Street.

Chen Guan is not a traverser, and without the ability to foresee, it is impossible to know that the Sanlitun bar street that became famous at home and abroad a few years later refers to Sanlitun North Street.

Zhou Qian and Chen Guan still don't know much about the capital. If Zhou Qian wants to see the trend of the performing arts market in Beijing, she should go to the dance hall. There are hundreds of song and dance halls in the capital, and there are many bands and singers singing, which is where pop music is prevalent at the moment. It would be a big mistake for them to assume that the bars here have bands and singers just by hearing the name of Sanlitun Bar.

At this time, the Sanlitun bar, only a bar on Sanlitun North Street, which opened this year, has a band and singer singing, and the bar group located in South Sanlitun has no band singing, just playing some light music, drinking, and drinking tea, 95% of the customers are foreigners, and occasionally Chinese who take the train from other places are not willing to pay accommodation fees and come here to linger, only spend 20 yuan, make a pot of tea, and you can pass the time in the bar.

After Chen Guan and Zhou Qian took a taxi to Sanlitun South Street, they looked for them one by one, and saw that there were no customers in any bar, and the business was good, but there were no bands and singers singing.

The winter in Beijing is much colder than in the Central Plains, and the wind blows on the face like a knife, stabbing people's cheeks. Chen Guan was in good health, wearing a suit, not even a coat, and he didn't feel cold. Zhou Qian is different, wearing a down jacket coat and a headscarf on her head, she still feels cold, and she can't find the band or singer she wants to watch, Zhou Qian is reluctant to go while walking, and said to Chen Guan: "It's cold outside, let's go back?" ”

Chen saw that Zhou Qian was unwilling, so he ran to the waiters at the bar to ask where there was a bar with performances nearby, but he didn't expect these waiters to shake their heads like rattles, and said no in unison.

Chen Guan didn't give up, and went out to stop a taxi driver to ask, only to learn that there is a new bar opened this year on Sanlitun North Street in Ludao, called Yunsheng Wine House, with a band and resident singers.

Chen Guan was overjoyed, pulled Zhou Qian into a taxi, and ran to the Yunsheng Wine House on Sanlitun North Street.

Beijingers are good at talking about the mountains, especially taxi drivers, who don't stop driving their mouths, and told Chen Guan that the reason why Sanlitun is called Sanlitun is because it is three miles away from the inner city. In the old society, it was a place where the poor lived. In recent years of reform and opening up, Sanlitun has formed a market specializing in auto parts, and there are clothing markets, calligraphy and painting shops, flower shops, etc. nearby. In particular, the bar group on Sanlitun South Street, which has emerged in recent years, has attracted a lot of foreign personnel stationed in China and is very famous. Last year, that is, in 1994, because of the tide of going to sea and doing business, Beijing Municipality required all sub-district offices to complete certain economic targets, and those who completed were commended, and those who failed to complete were criticized. In order to complete these economic indicators, the Sanlitun sub-district office built a number of commercial buildings in the east section of the road extending 260 meters to the north of the south entrance of Sanlitun Road, with a total area of 1,691 square meters, and sent more than a dozen staff to go to the sea, in a group of two, contracting a commercial house, doing any business can be done, and 30,000 yuan to the office every year. As a result, none of these people are engaged in business and cannot complete their tasks, and I heard that some of them have already begun to return to the office. The owner of Yunsheng Liquor House is renting a business room like the Sanlitun Office, and opened a Yunsheng Liquor House, and the Filipino bands and singers who have recently been invited have a very hot business! However, I heard that the band and singer of this Yunsheng Sake House are temporary performances this time, and they are not permanent performances. Whether there is one or not tonight depends on luck.

The distance itself is not far away, it is late at night, there are few cars, the driver speaks, and the car drives to the door of Yunsheng Liquor House on Sanlitun North Street.

In fact, Chen Guan and Zhou Qian came early, and at this time, there was no band and singer in the Sanlitun bar group at all, and the performance of Yunsheng Liquor House was indeed temporary. Sanlitun Bar does have a resident singer and band, and that depends on how it develops over the next two years. Fortunately, Chen Guan and Zhou Qian were lucky, as soon as they walked into the abstract and rough wooden door of Yunsheng Wine House, the deafening music told Chen Guan and Zhou Qian that they had found the right one.

Chen Guan and Zhou Qian were guided by the waiter to a small table and sat down, and the waiter handed over the wine list and asked Chen Guan and Zhou Qian to order wine.

As soon as Zhou Qian took off her scarf, took off her down jacket and coat and sat down, she heard the waiter ask for some wine, and without thinking about it, she said directly to the waiter: "Let's just come in and have a look, don't drink!" ”

Bars sell alcohol!

As soon as Zhou Qian said that she didn't drink, the waiter's face became ugly, pretending that the music was too loud and couldn't be heard, and asked Zhou Qian three times in a row, "What did you say?" ”

Zhou Qianliu was so angry that she raised her eyebrows, and immediately wanted to stand up and wait for the waiter theory.

Chen Guan stopped Zhou Qian, took out 200 yuan from his pocket, handed it to the waiter, and asked for a pot of English black tea, a dozen beers, a popcorn corn, a potato chip, and a fruit plate.

The waiter's face suddenly brightened, and he said "Okay" and went to get busy.

Zhou Qian was so angry that she didn't want to pay attention to Chen Guan, pouted, and sat there watching the people who were writhing to the music.

Chen Guan whispered to Zhou Qian: "Come out and have fun, be happy, people open bars to sell alcohol, otherwise what are you doing when you open a bar?" ”

Zhou Qian's face looked a little better.

Fruit plates such as tea, beer, popcorn, potato chips, melon seeds, and peanuts soon arrived. Chen Guan asked the waiter to pour tea and beer, picked up the beer glass and gently touched it on Zhou Qian's glass: "Cheers to the reunion!" ”

After speaking, Chen Guan didn't care whether drinking beer on a cold day would hurt his stomach, so he picked up a glass of beer and drank it.

Zhou Qian picked up the wine glass and dipped it on her lips, and after a while, she put the wine glass down.

The two of them were drinking, eating, listening to the band, and watching the writhing people on the field.

On the small table next to it sat foreigners with high noses, blue eyes and yellow hair, mixed with a few Chinese, all listening to music and tasting wine.

The music played by Filipino bands is truly unique, sometimes passionate and blood-pumping, sometimes lyrical and romantic, and ethereal.

After the music, it is the singer who sings, and the voice is deep and tactful, very magnetic.

Zhou Qian held a wine glass in her hand, staring at the singing singer with unblinking eyes, and how high her ears were.

Chen Guan sat on a wooden chair, holding a wine glass in his hand, tasting wine and listening to music, very comfortable and comfortable.

The nightlife of the metropolis only reaches its climax after 12 o'clock. At this time, it was late at night, but the music in the bar was getting louder and louder, reaching 90 decibels.

The music shook people's blood!

Zhou Qian couldn't sit still, stood up and pulled Chen Guan on the stage and jumped to the music.

The music in the bar is not ballroom dance music, it is all modern dance with a strong rhythm, each dancing its own way, and every now and then either you touch me or I hit you, screams and whistles are heard at any time.

The few people who writhing on the field were all foreigners, drunk, squinting, not looking at others at all, twisting their bodies on their own, releasing excess energy with the music.

After dancing for a while, Zhou Qian sweated, and then sat back in her seat.

As soon as the two of them sat down and drank a cup of black tea, there was a scream in the room. Chen Guan looked up and saw a Filipino female singer standing in the middle of the field, and the lanterns were all focused on her.

The female singer twisted and sang, and when she sang to the emotional place, she began to take off her clothes, one by one, until she was only stripped of the three-point style inside, the lights dimmed, the audience was silent, and the people who clubbed began to imagine.

Chen Guan couldn't imagine that a small bar would dare to perform like this, and when he was surprised, Zhou Qian's little hand reached over and held Chen Guan's hand.

Chen Guan was excited, his body stiffened, motionless, and let Zhou Qian's hand hold his hand.

After a short time, the lights came back on, the music started again, and Zhou Qian's head was tilted to Chen Guan's shoulder, quietly snuggling up to Chen Guan.

Chen Guanhuo was shocked, his hand slipped out of Zhou Qian's hand, and he whispered: "It's not early, I still want to go to Tiananmen Square tomorrow to watch the flag-raising, let's go!" ”

Zhou Qian held Chen Guan's hand again, and said in a low but resolute voice: "Don't go, play for a while!" ”

Chen Guan is now in love with Tai Mingyue, but he doesn't want to have any emotional entanglements with Zhou Qian, so when he heard the words, he said: "No, you have to go!" ”

Zhou Qian's face hung up: "If you want to go, you go, I won't go!" ”

Chen Guan was unmoved, stood up directly from the chair, raised his leg and was about to leave, Zhou Qian quickly grabbed him and begged: "Let me jump again, just once, okay?" ”

Chen looked at Zhou Qian, who was full of pleading, sighed silently in his heart, and sat down again.

This time, the band played melodious and slow dance music.

When Zhou Qian heard this, she pulled Chen Guan up and shook it off the small field.

Jumping and jumping, I don't know how to do it, Zhou Qian hugged Chen Guan, and the two of them hugged each other tightly and danced a song.

At the end of the song, Chen Guan didn't dare to stay in this bar anymore, turned his head and walked out of the bar first, waiting for Zhou Qian outside.

After Zhou Qian came out, Chen Guan stood on the side of the road and stopped a taxi, first opened the car door for Zhou Qian to sit on, sat in the co-pilot seat, and told the driver to go to the Central Conservatory of Music.

Zhou Qian said as soon as she heard it: "It's too late, I live in a small guest house in the Conservatory, the door has been locked a long time ago, and I can't go back." Don't go to the Central Conservatory of Music, go to the front door. ”

Chen Guan's hotel is located in the Qianmen area.

At this moment, Chen Guan's heart was about to jump out of his chest, and he didn't understand what Zhou Qian was doing!
