The narrow path, even in the daytime, seems relatively dim, the street, drowning cross-current, crooked and slanted buildings, and the Bund, neatly aligned, there is a huge difference, big wine words, and faint music sounds, so that this area becomes extremely noisy, on the side of the road, a few scantily dressed foreign women, are there to solicit guests, pedestrians in twos and threes, or leave quickly, or simply take a drunken step, it is not yet night, it is already drunk.

Walking on the path, avoiding those street girls, Yang Yuanzhao's eyes fell on the interior of the bar, and the dim light could barely see the situation inside from the glass window.

The small street is not long, but there are more than 30 bars, and the density of foreigners is much higher than in other places, these foreigners have changed the image of well-dressed people in other parts of China, but they are ragged, and even occasionally on the side of the street, you can see a person, drunk on the side of the road, regardless of filth, the whole wolf bèi unbearable.

After a circle, Yang Yuanzhao selected the target and walked into one of the bars, which was the bar he observed outside and met his purpose, an eagle was placed on the table and called: "Give me a glass of German beer!" ”

"Oh, fair fellow, do you know how to drink, boy?"

"yes, do you want to come here, show me!"

Unbridled laughter echoed through the bar, the rugged people, laughing at all the people they could.

A bearded, distinctly Bavarian-style German, slapped the head of the fiercest laughing guy and said, "Don't scare my guests away!" ”

This guy who looked like he was full of flesh and was not a good person, actually sat down honestly, and his voice was a little quieter.

The bearded German walked up to Yang Yuanzhao and asked, "What kind of wine do you want?" “

"What's there?"

"Everything, and Bavarian stout!"

"Bring me a drink!"

The boss weighed the Ying Yang on the table and said, "These are not enough?" Ask for three yuan a cup! ”

The boss tried hard to speak Chinese, but the accent had a strong Bavarian accent, and ordinary Chinese may not be able to get used to it.

Yang Yuanzhao is familiar with German, although it is said that it was a century ago, there are slight differences, but it is not in the way, he took out two more eagle oceans, the boss took the money with satisfaction, and whistled excitedly, most of his shop is some poor ghosts, the Bavarian dark beer he said is indeed the best beer in Bavaria, but all along, the sales are very low.

A scantily clad and plump woman, carrying a whole draft of beer, rich foam, with a touch of bitterness, Yang Yuanzhao took a sip, sure enough, the taste was mellow, he drank the beer in small sips, but his eyes looked around at this bar that didn't look big, but gathered at least more than 100 people.

This is a bar opened by Bavarians, full of Bavarian style, especially beer, with a strong German style, on the small bar, there are forty or fifty people, they also have beer in their hands, but it is a black wooden cup, which is very different from his glass, the beer in his hand looks and tastes good, the price of 3 yuan, not very expensive, at least for Yang Yuanzhao.

The whole bar is chaotic, shouting, music, and the dim environment make the bar a paradise for the frustrated.

Yang Yuanzhao slowly adapted to the environment of the bar, observing the surroundings, but at most for more than an hour, after drinking the beer, he would leave, and he did not stay here for long.

Today, Yang Yuanzhao is on the third day of this bar called Mai Xiang, starting from Baotou, the time spent on the road, plus the time delayed in Wuhan, is getting closer and closer to the day of cotton planting, a certain amount of Cheng dù, he is still unwilling to take risks, if there is no foreign company as a shield, he took out out of thin air, some of them are too eye-catching, and even the four big families will see the clues, he is to take advantage of the situation, not willing to stand on the opposite side with the four big families.

The traverser is not omnipotent, especially in the late Qing Dynasty, in the case of a class against a class, or even a gentry, he must be the unlucky, so time is as tight as a day, but Yang Yuanzhao is still patiently looking for it.

In the afternoon, Yang Yuanzhao walked into the bar, the sunset shone on his body, there was an inexplicable color, almost everyone looked at him, Yang Yuanzhao was a little too brilliant.

In this bar where the poor are predominant, every time, he will order a glass of authentic German dark beer, at the end of the day, it costs about 3 pieces of eagle ocean, his generosity and abruptness, attracted the attention of many people, the most is **, they wear heavy lipstick, sprinkle inferior perfume, speak vulgarly, often straight to the point.

For these women, Yang Yuanzhao was not interested at all, and after rejecting them, they also left, at most inviting them to have a drink, which was the appearance of dozens of coppers, and he mainly observed the drinkers in the bar.

Time is pressing, and he can't choose slowly, so he has to come here, among the most down-and-out people, looking for possible partners, with the help of the all-in-one machine, he has a lot of choice.

For them, Yang Yuanzhao just stunned them, and did not use ruthlessness, but gradually, the reputation of Yang Yuanzhao, who came every day, also went out, some people who often mixed in bars knew that Yang Yuanzhao was a high-roller with a generous shot, by the way, this person is not easy to mess with, at least, in the bar, the strongest guys were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, asked them what was going on, and they didn't know, and then things gradually became less.

The bar is really a good place to inquire about information, and in the chaotic environment, Yang Yuanzhao still heard a lot of news, such as the fleet of the British Empire, which has recently been active there, such as the high-ranking officials of the concession who have passed those measures again, and even some noble ladies gossip.

These have little to do with Yang Yuanzhao, he listens to it with his left ear, and often, it comes out from his right ear, and he pays more attention to the drinkers themselves, through guò screening, comparison, and finally determining the goal.

Coming to Shanghai, it has been a few days, cotton planting, day by day, but a certain Cheng dù, he is still unwilling to take risks, if there is no foreign firm as a shield, he took out out of thin air, some of them are too eye-catching, even the four families, will see the clues, he is to take advantage of the situation, not willing to stand on the opposite side with the four families.

The waiter brought a glass of wine up, and Yang Yuanzhao's gaze wandered, and finally fell to the place two or three tables away from him, which was also the object that he had carefully selected and finally determined in the past few days.

There, a big-nosed Jew, holding a large glass of 3 copper ale, which is the cheapest liquor in this bar, barely smells of alcohol, and has an inexplicable smell of decay, I really don't know if I can call it wine.

This kind of ale wine is the highest sales in the bar, and there are few rich people who can come to this bar, and the rich people will choose a better café or high-end bar, which is a paradise for the bankrupt and low-income people, and a few copper ale wine, but it can satisfy their cravings, is their inevitable choice, almost every man who walks into the bar, will drink such a glass.

This Jew seems to have a very unsatisfactory life, even if it is 3 copper ale, he drinks it very slowly, and before he has completely eaten it, his eyes are foggy.

Yang Yuanzhao drank the rest of the beer in one gulp and walked towards the Jew.
