【082】The story of the bar owner

I smiled and said, "Then the two of us are the opposite. ”

Xu Qing raised her head and looked at me with some confusion on her face and said, "What do you mean?" ”

I smiled and explained, "I prefer Egawa to Beijiang." Speaking of this, I smiled bitterly, if it weren't for waiting for Xu Qing in Jiangchuan, I am afraid that I would have left Jiangchuan, a city full of industrial pollution, but now I seem to be more dependent on Jiangchuan.

Xu Qing seemed to understand something, and a trace of indifferent smile crossed her delicate face, "Maybe it's because there is no regret medicine in this world." Xu Qing's tone was not hurried or slow.

I nodded and said, "Sometimes people should really be grateful for fate, if there is no such trick of fate, many things will not go to the end, and often it will not come to that situation that you yourself can't even predict." ”

Xu Qing and I just said a word, as if I understood the meaning of Xu Qing's words and Xu Qing could understand my words.

Soon the dishes came up, I took a look, Xu Qing ordered four dishes, three of them were actually what I used to like to eat, I suddenly had a long-lost feeling in my heart, that feeling from the primitive heart, I really wanted to grasp this feeling, but I couldn't catch it, always when I thought I had caught this feeling, I knew that it had long passed, and I should face the reality.

Xu Qing looked at me in a daze and said, "Eat, what's the problem?" ”

I nodded and said, "I see, you can eat it too." ”

After I finished eating with Xu Qing, I got up and checked out, and after settling the bill, I pointed Xu Qing in the direction according to the address Xu Qing said.

When I arrived at the bar, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, there was no business in the bar, and after Xu Qing and I walked in, a middle-aged man was bartending.

When the bartender saw us in, he smiled and said, "What do you want to drink?" ”

Xu Qing smiled lightly: "We are here to discuss business." ”

"This bar doesn't sell." The bartender looked at Xu Qing and said seriously, thinking that more than one person should have paid attention to this bar.

The bartender's face was not very good-looking at this time, and I followed and said, "I already understand, your business here is not very good, is it?" ”

The bartender nodded and said noncommittally: "Business is indeed not good, and I have been losing money, but even if I lose money, I will not sell." ”

I suddenly wondered about the strange behavior of the bar owner, if according to Xu Qing's words, this bar is so depressed, why does he continue to open? And even if you lose money, you have to open it?

After thinking of this, I looked at the bar owner and said, "Boss, can you tell me your story?" "In my opinion, the owner of the bar should also have his own story, otherwise he would not care so much about a bar.

The boss looked at me in surprise, then looked at Xu Qing and smiled and said, "It's okay to listen to stories, but the bar doesn't sell them." ”

"It's okay, we just want to hear from you." I said.

Xu Qing glanced at me a little puzzled, I motioned for Xu Qing to sit down first, and Xu Qing had to nod and sit aside.

At this time, the owner of the bar pushed two cocktails in front of us and said with a smile: "I gave you a gift, although I hate you." ”

I laughed, "Boss, tell me your story first." "And from the moment I came in, I noticed the name of the bar, "The Story of the Years", so I am now more certain that the owner is a man with a story.

After the boss sat down, he skillfully mixed himself a cocktail, took a sip and then put down the cocktail in his hand, and the boss said with a solemn face: "Do you know why this bar is called the story of the years?" ”

Xu Qing and I shook our heads at the boss, saying that we didn't know, but I knew that this must be a story.

The bar owner smiled and said, "In the past, my wife and I, Lin Sihui, worked hard in this city. ”

"At that time, I was in my 20s, and I didn't make money until I was almost thirty years old," the boss's tone was a little sad when he said this, "It's just that when I was more than 28 years old, Sihui passed away, and what I remember most is that when I was just with Sihui, we dreamed that one day we would open our own bar in the city of Bac Giang, a bar of our own, and then Sihui died, and I was also sad at that time, I sold my company, Opened such a bar. Speaking of this, the boss smiled and said: "When I bought it, I hoped that if I could meet Sihui one day, I wanted to tell Sihui that our dream was fulfilled, but you left." ”

I didn't speak, I just listened quietly, and although I had some doubts in my heart, I couldn't bear to interrupt the story of the bar owner.

The owner of the bar looked at me when he said this, "Then the economy was in recession, and my bar was also because of my personal reasons, so he didn't make money." ”

I looked the bar up and down, including the location, this bar is very advantageous, but the reason for the loss of money should be the boss's marketing method, he just wants to retire and has not thought about doing business, so he will be excluded, causing the business of this bar to become more and more depressed.

The owner of the bar saw that Xu Qing and I didn't speak, so he continued to speak: "Even if the bar doesn't make money, I think I will continue to do it, at least this is Sihui's dream, and it is also the dream I promised her." When he said this, the owner of the bar suddenly sighed, "It's been ten years in a flash, and many people thought about buying this bar before you came, but I rejected it." ”

I nodded, I didn't speak, I can really understand the boss's thoughts, it's nothing more than that I can't get out of the empty city in my heart, just like in the three years before me, I have been locking myself in a dead city, drowning in it, unable to breathe, fortunately, I came out later, and I also faced the reality, but this boss is probably not so easy, in his heart, the person he loves the most is gone, and he is not in this world, I think it is difficult for him to get out of this city.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh a little gloomily and said to the owner of the bar: "Everyone has their own story, just like everyone has a city in their heart." ”

The owner of the bar suddenly opened his eyes and looked at me in surprise, "What city?" ”

"An empty city, a city that you can't get out of, but there is a surviving person buried in this city, she just lives in her own heart, in fact, to put it bluntly, it's still a kind of self-deception, isn't it?"

After I finished speaking, the boss lowered his head and began to think, as if my words had reached his heart, and Xu Qing on the other side glanced at me, and I motioned for her not to speak.

The boss seemed to have found the same resonance as in the previous three years, and after a long time, he slowly raised his head and looked at me and said, "You are right, everyone has a city like this, and there is a person buried in their hearts. After saying this, the boss smiled bitterly.

I then said, "Why do you have to keep the empty city alone? If you walk out of this city, you will find that there are many things in this world that are much better than the empty city, and if you let go of this city, maybe you will live a happier life. ”

The boss looked at me and was suddenly stunned, and after a long time, he smiled, "You are very right." After saying this, the boss gave me a thumbs up, "Give me three days and let me think about it." ”

Xu Qing was suddenly stunned at this time, I wiped a smile at Xu Qing, and Xu Qing also looked at me in surprise.

I smiled and said, "Boss, then we will come back in three days, in addition, I believe that if you sell the bar to us, I will pass it on, and also pass on your story, so that everyone can find their own piece of pure land in the story of the years." ”

The boss nodded at me and said, "Let me think about it." ”

I nodded and said to the boss, "Whether you sell it or not, we're glad to hear your story, and I was touched by it." ”

After finishing speaking, I pulled Xu Qing and was about to leave, but the owner of the bar suddenly stopped me, "Young man, your words also touched me very much." ”

I was stunned, then waved my hand, and the boss followed, "Leave me your contact information." ”

I nodded and read my phone number to the bar owner, who called and saved my number.

Xu Qing and I left together, and after leaving the bar, I looked at the sky, it was still so blue, and I thought my empty city was over.

Xu Qing said at this time: "What do you mean by empty city? After Xu Qing finished asking this sentence, she looked at me with some puzzlement.

I smiled and shook my head, "You don't understand. ”

"Then why did the barkeeper agree to sell the bar to you after you said that?" Xu Qing asked puzzledly: "Also, what did you say again that touched him?" ”

I smiled bitterly and looked at Xu Qing and said: "There are many things, you don't understand, just like this story of his, you know and hear the sadness in it, but you don't understand the charm in it, but the bar, he may not sell it to us." ”

Xu Qing said helplessly: "Okay." After finishing speaking, Xu Qing opened the car door and got in.

I followed into the car and looked at Xu Qing and said, "Shall we continue to stay in Beijiang, or leave Beijiang?" ”

Xu Qing shook her head and said, "Continue to stay here." After all, we're back in three days. After saying this, Xu Qing looked at me and said, "Do you know why I brought you here?" ”
