Chapter 62: The Tavern
The next day, Xu Huizhen got up early and went to the convenience canteen, firstly to see the situation of Fan Jinyou's business, and on the other hand, to prepare for some rectification of the tavern's operation.
"Yo, Xu Huizhen, it's really rare to see you in the morning, what's the matter, you haven't had breakfast? Then you have to queue up, our convenient canteen is not allowed to cut the queue~"
Fan Jinyou sat on a stool with a white porcelain cup, crossed Erlang's leg and one arm still pressed on the dining table, and said to Xu Huizhen with a smile.
Xu Huizhen didn't go to the queue, she ate breakfast at home, Cai Quanwu's white rice porridge, plus white flour steamed buns with salted duck eggs, the taste is really good.
"How dare I disturb your Director Fan's business, just passing by, by the way, come over to see how your business is doing?"
"Hehe, don't you see that the customers who come here to buy breakfast are lined up outside the door? Our business is good, so we don't bother you with a private manager running over and mixing blindly, why should you go? Fan Jinyou said triumphantly.
The business of the convenience canteen is indeed really good, the wild vegetable dumplings are delicious and inexpensive, the fried rings, steamed buns, and wotou are solid and affordable, and the neighbors and workers working in nearby factories are rushing to come to buy, and the director of the neighborhood committee often comes to the store to buy breakfast.
"These are the two steamed buns you want, charge you 1 cent, 4 taels of food stamps, take it."
The original waiter He Yumei was temporarily transferred to the tavern, and Zhao Yali and Zhao Da had to temporarily replace the waiter in the convenience canteen, she didn't bring a glove or use a clip or anything, and directly grabbed two steamed buns from the steamed bun box with her hands and put them in a female customer's lunch box.
"Xu Huizhen, I don't think you really need to worry about our affairs, Director Fan is still very good at business, you should think more about what to do over there."
Zhao Yali has always been unaccustomed to Xu Huizhen, what, before she married Cai Quanwu, a widow with a child said something inappropriate to a group of middle-aged men in their thirties and forties in a tavern every day.
Especially the previous Vladimir, the two even said in public that I love you, you love me, and they don't know any shame.
Now that it's okay, Fan Jinyou came up with the idea of a convenient canteen, and the business is getting better and better, seeing that Xu Huizhen is about to completely become an ordinary worker, Zhao Yali feels that she will never have to look at Xu Huizhen's face to speak in the future.
This is the most glorious to turn over and be the master, the working people!
is different from Fan Jinyou and Zhao Yali, Kong Yuqin is older after all, and because she suffered a loss in her mouth in her previous unit, she is much more cautious in her speech.
"Huizhen, you are also clear about the daily income of the tavern, if you don't have other inputs, I personally think that this time you and Director Fan, the last loser must be you."
"Okay, I'm relieved to see that your business is so good, you guys are busy first, I'll go." Xu Huizhen knew that she was no longer welcome, so she waved her hand and left.
In fact, for the yin Fan Jinyou, the snobbish Zhao Yali, and the foul-mouthed Kong Yuqin, Xu Hui really can't talk about how much he hates it, in the past ten years of running a tavern, Xu Hui has really seen or heard of people who are ten times worse than them.
However, Xu Hui is really not a bad person, her competitiveness is far beyond ordinary people, and she can be said to be a bit domineering, and even go her own way.
is very similar to the head of the Gree Group in the later generations, Sister Dong.
The current bistro is open from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., which has to do with the clientele of the tavern, who used to be conservative about drinking outside.
Consultants who drink in a tavern are nothing more than two types of people.
One is the heavy manual laborers, who sweat all over their bodies after being busy during the day, and want to drink a sip of wine before going home for dinner. Two cents, three cents buy it two or two wines to drink slowly, a sip of stuffy is also become, to ensure that after returning home, after eating dinner, lie on the bed immediately can fall asleep and sleep soundly, the next day after getting up is a hundred times more energetic.
The other type is the old saying in the past, this kind of person is mildly addicted to alcohol, and must drink more or less every day. It's not that you have to be drunk, some people don't drink much, one cup is it, two cups are it, but it can't be without it.
No matter what kind of people they are, most of them have a common characteristic, that is, they are not financially wealthy.
After all, drinking alcohol was an additional expense in people's daily expenses at that time, ranging from three or five yuan a month to eight or nine yuan a month, which already accounted for a large proportion of ordinary people's income.
Because most of the customers in the tavern are middle-aged men in their thirties and forties, young people rarely go to the tavern to drink, after all, they have just stepped into society, and the little salary in their pockets is not enough to support the cost of drinking.
For the customers of the tavern, drinking is drinking, and the side dishes when drinking are completely icing on the cake, which is dispensable. After all, the cost of drinking is already very high, and you have to hesitate to buy a plate of pickled vegetables before you can make up your mind.
What's more, in order to save a penny of buying pickles, when drinking, I will prepare a smooth and round goose soft stone in advance, and then put the goose soft stone into the vinegar dish and roll it back and forth twice, and finally put the goose soft stone into my mouth and make such a back and forth, with the vinegar strength of sour tears, pick up the wine cup and take a sip of wine.
I can't go into detail about that taste.
Of course, although there will be no cadres and leaders in the tavern, there may not be no financiers, Xu Huizhen has such a rich old patron in the tavern.
Niu Antai, Niu Ye.
It is said that Niu Ye's ancestor is the righteous white flag Baylor, although Niu Ye was not born in Baylor Mansion, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the broken nobles are not still nobles.
When Niu Ye was young, his family was wealthy, and he was proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun, otherwise he would not be able to be called a master by others!
Now it's a new world, although the ancestral courtyard house is a public-private partnership, but with the money from the public-private partnership and the family's savings, Niu Ye is still living happily.
Because, the tavern run by Xu Huizhen does not give credit to other customers, and only makes an exception for Niu Ye, and still settles the bill with Niu Ye according to the old rules of Sijiu City.
Of course, it is impossible to settle three knots at a time, and Niu Ye's account in the tavern is settled once a month. Just by virtue of this, in Xu Huizhen's tavern, the identity and status of Niu Ye are naturally one level higher than the rest of the consultants.
Today, Niu Ye got up early in the morning, went to the noodle canteen to drink a bowl of rice porridge, and ate two wild vegetable dumplings. However, the convenience canteen under the control of Fan Jinyou is not allowed to take credit, and Niu Ye is no exception.
To tell the truth, Niu Ye doesn't look down on Fan Jinyou, but he can't stand the affordable price of the convenience canteen, and the wild vegetable dumplings don't need food stamps.
The monthly food quota of 27 catties for adults, and the monthly food quota for minors will decrease with age, and it is difficult for adults and children to fill their stomachs without sufficient oil and water supply.
After eating breakfast and leaving the convenience canteen, Niu Ye was surprised to find that the tavern next door was open, you must know that the rules of the tavern never do business in the morning, this is really the first time to open up the wasteland.
Niu Ye stood outside the door and looked in curiously, and found that it was Xu Huizhen, the female shopkeeper, who was standing behind the counter and seemed to be writing something.
Niu Ye stepped in and said hello to Xu Huizhen.
"Hui Zhen, what are you busy with?"
Before Xu Huizhen married into the He family, Niu Ye was already a frequent visitor to the tavern. In the past ten years, if Niu Ye has no special things, he will go to the tavern every night to drink two taels of old white dry and eat a plate of cold dishes or peanuts, in a sense, Niu Ye is Xu Huizhen's elder relatives.
