Chapter Forty-Four: The Newborn Calf Fears the Tiger
Shichahai is said to be the sexiest place in Beijing-Kowloon City, with water, boats, and bridges. The wind blows the willows on the shore, the water reflects the sky and the moon, the most touching is the fashion and trend carried in the ancient courtyard, when the night will be neon outlined by the antique scenery, cast on the microwave rippling water, and then accompanied by the laughter of pedestrians coming and going, a sense of beauty but not glamorous prosperity is quietly born.
Bars are in this night full of ancient capital characteristics, receiving all kinds of customers.
Beijing's bars first arose in Sanlitun, and later, new bar streets such as Shichahai, Xingba Road, and Yuan Dadu were formed. I don't know if Lu Fangtian had a soft spot for bars at the beginning, and actually opened a bar on Sanlitun, Shichahai and Xingba Road.
Later, the second master of the worm transferred these three bars and a nightclub to Xie Cunguan's name. This can be regarded as a relatively clean industry in Lu Fangtian's hands.
Xie Cunguan handed over the wine bar and nightclub to Liu Shisan, who knew the grace of the newspaper, but when the bar was just taken over and the cash flow was at its tightest, he took a large amount of cash, and then ignored it, as if these industries had nothing to do with him.
Although every year Liu Shisan's place will send some documents to report the business situation, he usually throws them directly in the drawer, and he has not even read them, let alone a word of instructions.
After so many years, I don't know if it's a loss or a gain.
Walking into this bar called "Xianyunsheng", Xie Cunguan is also the first time to step into his own industry.
The cheongsam girl standing at the door to greet guests was tall and peachy, with an indescribable quiet temperament, and asked politely: "How many gentlemen?
Xie Cunguan shook his head and said, "I'm looking for Liu Wenliang!"
Liu Wenliang is Liu Shisan's official name. In the past, when I was messing with the second master of insects on the road. used the title Liu Shisan. Since he has been a housekeeper for Xie Cunguan, he has become good. Liu Shisan used his real name Liu Wenliang back.
The little sister couldn't help but be stunned, but glanced at Xie Cunguan and Chen Hu and Cao Xin, who were following closely behind her. In an instant, he calmed down and said, "Please follow me!" and turned to lead the way.
The courtyard was very quiet, and I don't know that the guzheng coming from there was like flowing water, soaking in the small courtyard. The scenery of the small courtyard is beautiful, and there are careful thoughts of the operator like a garden everywhere. The lighting arrangement is just right, the dim but not dim light is always in the most appropriate place, just enough to see those things that the host wants to make an impression on the guests.
Although he didn't care about these industries seriously, Xie Cunguan knew that this bar was located in Shichahai. It is a calligraphy and painting bar, and the guests who come and go here, in addition to the beauties who enliven the atmosphere of the bar, are mostly friends in the calligraphy and painting world.
Liu Shisan's father's nickname is Liu Xiucai, in addition to Tai Chi Kung Fu, he is also very accomplished in calligraphy and painting. He has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he has also achieved a lot in this area. Later, he was exiled in Beijing and Kowloon, first with Liao Bazhi, and then with the second master of the worm. After embarking on the underworld, no one knows who Liu Wenliang is.
Because of this, after becoming Xie Cunguan's "housekeeper", Liu Shisan moved his office location. I stayed here in this bar. The other two bars and nightclubs, just go over when you need to.
Because it's still early. So there are not many customers in the bar, and there is no sense of crowding.
But it can also be seen. Guests come and go, with long hair. There are hair, more or less artistic. Sitting at the table one by one, the beauties in the same bar talked and laughed, obviously looking for inspiration for "art".
There are also some women whose temperament is different from that of the women in the bar, and I think they are also some female gentlemen in the calligraphy and painting world.
On both sides of the spacious bar, there are obviously private rooms, and there are waiters coming and going from time to time. As soon as the door opened and closed, Xie Cunguan saw that most of the private rooms were full of people. And there is a private room door, which is not closed at all. Looking through the open door, a man is swiping a pen. Because there were people around the table, Xie Cunguan couldn't see whether he was writing or painting.
However, judging from the urgency and magnitude of his shoulder movements, Xie Cunguan felt that it was more likely to be a painting.
The cheongsam girl took him to the bar, and said to a woman who was talking to two waiters at the bar: "Sister Yun, this gentleman is looking for the boss!"
The woman raised her head, and Xie Cunguan's eyes couldn't help but light up.
This is a woman whose style is not lost to Ye Zhunxing's "Veteran Bar", a black slim short skirt, revealing her bumpy figure, and it also makes her skin whiter. In the plump chest towering, a ravine is deeply sunken, and the charm of a mature woman is rushed to the face under the ambiguous lights of the bar, making people feel like they just want to lift the black skirt and get a glimpse of the scenery inside**.
When the woman saw Xie Cunguan, she immediately showed a charming and lovely smile: "You are Xie Dong! The boss is waiting for you inside, please come with me!" When she turned around, she said to the waiters: "Everyone go back to their respective positions, be careful!"
Several waiters immediately dispersed, and when they left one by one, they all looked at Xie Cunguan with surprised eyes, obviously unable to figure out what the background of such a young chairman was.
Xie Cunguan followed the woman inside, and after walking past the bar, there was a frosted glass door with a picture of a crane returning to it.
There is a couplet next to the door, the upper couplet: Xianyunsheng is blessed in the blessed land, and the lower couplet: there is a cave in the sky where the wild crane returns.
Xie Cunguan paused in front of the door and looked at the paintings and words. Although he did not have any attainments in calligraphy and painting, under the "edification" of Zhu Yanchi, he still had a lot of effort in appreciating calligraphy and painting.
"This is painted by the boss, and the couplet is also inscribed by him himself!" The woman saw that he was looking seriously, so she deliberately stopped: "Xie Dong also has research on calligraphy and painting?" The woman's expression was obviously a little curious.
was originally a woman who was as mature as a peach, but when her demeanor changed, she actually brought out three or five points of childishness, and she was smart and charming.
Xie Cunguan shook his head lightly and said, "I'm a rough man...... Haven't asked for advice yet?"
"Li Yun!" the woman smiled and introduced herself: "Be a manager here......" As she spoke, she pushed open the door.
Xie Cunguan followed him in, as soon as he entered the door, he couldn't help but be stunned, a tall wooden screen was behind the door, on top of it was a yin and yang Taiji diagram, next to the Taiji diagram, was a vigorous calligraphy: "The circle of the garden is for the Tao, bit by bit to ask Tai Chi;
Following Li Yun around the screen, there was another hall.
It's just that the hall is no longer a bar, but a gym.
Accompanied by the relaxed and soft sound of zheng, more than a dozen people are practicing Tai Chi to the sound of music. There are still a few people practicing pushers next to him, but there is no shadow of Liu Shisan.
At this time, the woman named Li Yun turned around and explained: "Our bar is full of old customers, all friends from the calligraphy and painting circles, although there are many young people, but there are more middle-aged and elderly people, and they are more stable! In addition to drinking and leisure, they also have a strong need for fitness, so after Mr. Liu took over the bar, he renovated the back area and turned it into a Tai Chi gym to teach them to play Tai Chi...... Now the income of the gym is no less than that of the bar in front of it! Many people come here to ......"
Xie Cunguan nodded.
At this time, Li Yun had already taken him to the side of a pair of young men who were pushing hands, and asked the girl, "Fingers, where is Master?" The girl turned her head, and as soon as she turned her head here, the man over there took advantage of the weakness to make progress, pressed her hands with both hands, and pressed her over, her arms trembled, with a sense of relaxation.
The girl's arms in front of her were already about to be pressed to death by the other party.
Tai Chi pushes, once the other party is pressed to death, it is basically a force, and people will be sent out by the other party.
At this time, the girl is almost following the strength of the other party, the body suddenly twisted outward, the man's heavy strength, was twisted by this, flashed a break point, the girl's arm has been sinking along her body, leading the other party's strength to the bottom, at the same time, the girl's body sank, the front foot did not retreat but advanced, as the body sank, her body instantly trembled back, the shoulder twisted the hips, the amplitude was very small, but the man was this leaning suddenly, straight out, even too late to retreat, fell backwards.
And as soon as the girl's arm stretched out and her wrist swirled, she grabbed his wrist and pulled him.
"Good kung fu!" Xie Cunguan couldn't help but say, obviously the girl Tai Chi was already quite hot, and the strength had already reached her body. You can move your feet and turn your strength downward, which is already the preliminary way of Tai Chi to turn your strength.
This means that the girl's waist and hips have been opened, the joints on her body are loose, and she already has a little strength to separate flesh and bones.
This is in the heart of the door, it is called the jade tree hanging treasure clothes! What is the jade tree, the skeleton! What is the treasure clothes, muscles! Although the heart of the door looks at the practice of boxing, they are all straight forward and straight back, but in addition to practicing the middle section and turning the dantian, there are also the techniques and body methods of rubbing the ribs, which are used to wriggle the body and loosen the bones.
Only after loosening the joints of the whole body, can you flash and move between square inches, and dissolve the opponent's strength without leaving the ground. In fact, there are many explanations for the so-called chemical strength, but the final effect is that it can be moved between square inches.
Xie Cunguan's applause caused the girl to roll her eyes, her eyes looked at him coldly, but she asked Li Yun next to her: "Sister Yun, why are you coming to the back? Master went to the bathroom...... Who is this guy?"
Li Yun showed a wry smile and said, "This is Chairman Xie......
"Chairman, that means you know everything!" The girl said with an unkind face: "Tai Chi also understands, and I will applaud!" Come on, let's try to ...... with both hands" As he spoke, he waved the pipa with his hand, and pulled the frame towards Xie Cunguan with both hands one after the other.
Xie Cunguan laughed, looking at the girl's appearance of pulling open and eager to try, he was a little funny and a little sad.
To say that the girl's kung fu is good, however, the open frame she pulls is obviously a chick who has not experienced much actual combat in the rivers and lakes.
What he laughed at was the aggressiveness of girls, but sadly because once martial arts lost the soil for technical attacks, no matter how clever the master was, he couldn't teach a disciple who could fight.
"What are you laughing at? Do you dare to fight?" the girl was full of gunpowder.
Xie Cunguan was moved by the idea of cherishing the material for a while, so he turned his head to Cao Xin behind him and said, "Are you interested in trying it?"
Cao Xin scratched his head with his hand and said, "How many tricks do you want to win her?" (to be continued......)
