"You are the nephew of the old Qiao family, I've heard him mention it before. www.biquge.info"An aunt wearing a red tweed coat and perming yellow curly hair looked at Qiao Mu with a smile and sighed, "She looks very handsome, do you have a girlfriend?" ”

Qiao Mu scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Not yet." ”

"Do you want my aunt to introduce you to one, my daughter is the same size as you, and she has no object, by the way, where do you work now?" The enthusiastic aunt asked.

"I just graduated this year, and I plan to continue to open my uncle's tavern." Arbor was even more embarrassed.

The smile on the aunt's face narrowed slightly, and she frowned and asked, "Why don't you find a job at a young age, this place is about to be demolished, what's the point of guarding such a broken tavern?" ”

Of course, Qiao Mu will not be embarrassed to say that his major is too bad, so he has not found a job for most of the year after graduation. It was even more impossible for him to tell the other party that the uncle, whom he hadn't seen for six years, had died suddenly, and that one of the conditions left for him in this tavern was to let him continue. Although he was not optimistic about this remote tavern, and could even sell it, he couldn't get through the hurdle in his heart, so he simply decided to stay here first, wait for the news of the demolition to be implemented, and take the money and leave as soon as possible.

Seeing that his face changed and he was silent, the smile on his aunt's face disappeared, and he politely said goodbye and left. From afar, Qiao Mu heard her muttering: "What is it bad to do at a young age, you have to be lazy to eat, young people now, who dares to push their daughters into such a fire pit......"

Qiao Mu's face was hot, but most of the year's job search made him understand that the world is not as friendly as it seems, and people have to bow to reality after all. He looked up again and inserted the key in his hand into the lock hole in front of him. With a "click" sound, the slightly dilapidated iron door opened.

Taking a deep breath, Arbor pushed the door open. The dust was blowing in his face, and he coughed for half a minute before he could get used to it. Looking up, there are ten black tables in the tavern of about 100 square meters, each with four chairs. At the end is a large bar counter one meter high, with a black sofa chair behind it. A two-meter-high, one-meter-wide barrel is placed on the side of the bar, with a faucet underneath, presumably used to receive wine.

"There should be a wine rack behind the bar, and then a refrigerator......" These thoughts flashed through Qiao Mu's mind for a moment. Immediately, he shook his head with a wry smile, this place is about to be demolished, what do you want to do.

Crash!

He pulled the tavern door open and paced into the tavern. The dust on the table was thick, but there was a clear line of footprints.

"Could it be that after my uncle came home half a year ago, someone sneaked in?" This thought flashed through Qiao Mu's mind.

Speaking of Qiao Mu's uncle, it is quite legendary. Born in the late sixties, he was the first person in the village to go to university. After graduation, he was assigned to the provincial party committee and remained until he was forty years old. When Qiao Mu's grandparents were having a feast in the village, he suddenly announced his resignation and set up a tavern. For this matter, the grandfather was ill, the grandmother was exhausted, and the two old people both returned within a year. He tossed silently for six years and returned to the village with a terminal illness.

Glancing at the electronic clock on the wall, it reads "Dingbei City2017/1/1213:06:23".

The arbor goes around to the back of the bar, where there is a toilet and wooden staircase. Climb up the wooden staircase to the top of the floor, and you will see a large messy room. There is a large mattress in the center, the floor is covered with waste paper, and the footprints are getting messy. Qiao Mu bent down to pick up a few pieces of paper, glanced at them casually, and threw them away.

"I don't know how long it will take to wait for the demolition, since I promised my uncle, let's put this place up first." Qiao Mu thought silently.

It wasn't long before he was carrying a newly bought broom, a plastic bucket, and a rag...... Until night fell, the arbor fell on the mattress tiredly. Although the place was still shabby, it had been cleaned by him.

The next morning, the arbor woke up. He inspected the tavern back and forth, and when he saw that nothing had been missed, he threw away the garbage that had been piled up in the tavern.

The street where the tavern is located is located outside the Third Ring Road, which is a little remote. On both sides of the street are small shops of three or four floors, most of which are closed, and there are few customers who are open. Originally, there was some traffic here, but since the opening of the shopping street a few hundred meters away, it has become dead.

On the way, I bought an egg scones, and Qiao Mu came back with a paint bucket and a wooden brush. He repainted the somewhat mottled plaque at the door to make the words "Qiao's Tavern" more eye-catching, returned to the wooden ladder next door, and returned to the tavern satisfied.

According to his original plan, he should buy a refrigerator and braised vegetables for wine first, but considering that he only had about 600 yuan on him in total, and there were no customers here, he had to give up.

Opening the door, he lay on the sofa chair behind the bar and took a nap. I secretly thought about how to improve my business and at least support myself.

In the morning, a total of two customers came. One was a young man in a suit who was passing by, and when he heard him say that there was no famous wine to sell, he left in a hurry; One was Uncle Song from the hardware store next door, who begged for a pot of wine.

The inside of the barrel is all cheap home-brewed, and the taste is very strong, and I don't know if it has broken or not. Qiao Mu simply treated the cheap Uncle Song as a guinea pig test.

For three days, he received a total of six guests. Among them, two middle-aged men wanted to come for two drinks, and after drinking a jug of wine, they scolded and paid to leave. A few other unfussy old drunkards haven't been here since.

On the fourth day, a group of four people entered the store. These men were dressed in leather jackets or down jackets, and their appearance was ordinary, and their demeanor was arrogant and rude.

"You're the owner of this shop?" A man in a black leather coat asked.

"Yes." Qiao Mu got up, and he felt that these people had bad intentions.

"How about selling me 400,000?" The leather-clad man asked.

Qiao Mu was stunned, stared at the other party with an idiot look, and refused: "Don't sell it." ”

He had inquired before, and the demolition compensation here was at least 2 million, and this guy wanted to fool him with 400,000 yuan, did he really think he was a fool.

A man in a red down jacket pointed at the man in leather and said arrogantly: "This is my eldest brother's name is Cheng Feihong, you can think clearly." ”

"If you don't drink, please get out." Qiao Mu said coldly.

"Okay, you kid is awesome!" A man in gray raised his thumb at Qiao Mu, smiled mockingly, and the group turned to leave.

Qiao Mu guessed that these people were nearby ruffians, but he was not worried. First, this is a society governed by the rule of law, and there are very few things that force people to buy and sell; On the other hand, his uncle Qiao Yunguo had been in officialdom for nearly twenty years, and during his illness, many high-ranking officials and magnates went to visit. He deliberately introduced some people to Arbor. Although it was impossible for those people to do anything for him in big things, but in such small things, Qiao Mu believed that his phone call could help.

After the four of them walked out, the man in red asked Cheng Feihong and said, "Brother Cheng, what should I do if this kid doesn't sell your face?" ”

The man in gray sneered: "Wouldn't it be better to find a few people to smash this place." ”

The man in the hat who had not spoken before shook his head: "No, I heard my brother-in-law say that the original owner here knew a lot of big officials, and when it first opened, Director Liu in the district still came to cheer, even if the owner is changed, we can't act rashly." ”

Cheng Feihong patted the hat man's shoulder: "It's still thoughtful Xiaoliu, we don't have to fight and kill, we just need to get some snakes and insects to stuff in the cracks of the door at night, and raise the price tomorrow, give seven or eight hundred thousand, and keep that kid obediently soft." ”

"It's still Brother Cheng's thoughtfulness." The other three laughed.

An inexplicable look flashed in Cheng Fei's red eyes.
