Republic of China small businessman

Bai Mingyu got the order from Lord Nine, and stopped making small troubles, and built thirty taverns on both sides of the railway line.

He is also smart, and he understood what Jiu Ye said was only for the land and not for making money. These small sums of money are really nothing to the Bai family, but if they really want to fight for the twenty miles of land back, it will be a big deal. tone.

Bai Mingyu recruited several merchants in Nanfang to open such a small village-like tavern, crowded and crowded, and began to sell drinks.

Each tavern is small in scale, but they stand next to each other. There is a sign of the tavern in a conspicuous place outside, and there is a light sign at night, which is really eye-catching.

The Russians are under the control of the Prohibition Law, and alcohol has become a contraband. It has become a luxury for ordinary people to drink a big meal. They poured in.They don't need any appetizers for drinking. Sometimes a plate of pickles or pickled olives can make them drink a whole bottle of vodka.

The wine that Bai Mingyu got was of good quality, especially the vodka, which was transparent in color and had a pure and strong taste. It was brewed with birch sap and honey, the favorite of the Russians, and had a pure taste.There is no mountain spring water in Nanfang, so the brewers use pure water and distilled water, coupled with machine-made production, the quantity is large and affordable. After tasting by Russians who have not been drinking for a long time, it has been widely spread and popularized. There are more and more people.

Bai Mingyu has five taverns under his command, all managed by him alone.

Today's Bai Er is also much more mature than before. He has been to Russia and knows some customs and habits there, so when he arranged the tavern, he specially prepared some Russian-style cups--Russians drink, no They like to use small wine cups, and prefer to use large cups. They don't pay attention to the shape and material of the wine vessels, as long as they are big enough.

The appetizers are also generous and affordable bread and cheese. Almost all the Russians who come here have a bottle of vodka, and they drink recklessly. Some people even think that the big glasses in the tavern are not happy, so they drink directly from the bottle.

Some brought friends to drink, and they didn't like to persuade each other to drink. They drank their own, and the purpose of drinking was very simple.

They just love hard liquor.

Love for Vodka from the bottom of my heart.

The proprietors of these taverns, at first, wanted to do some little tricks like "drinking orders" to make the atmosphere better, but these arty things are completely useless to the Russians, who are already happy enough just to drink.

Some Russians can sing and dance when they drink too much, and some people raise their glasses and say something loudly. Two people who drink reasonably, will record these naive drunken words, just like the earliest bards, like to write down a sentence or two that popped up by chance, poetic language and philosophical thinking, Always follow the inspiration ignited by vodka.

The shopkeeper was recording the drink list behind the counter, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing when he saw it.

Bai Mingyu and Xie Jing patrolled the store, and saw the excitement as soon as they entered the door. A group of Russians were joking and joking, their faces full of excitement.

Bai Mingyu came over and asked the shopkeeper, "What are these people talking about?"

The shopkeeper said hello first, and then said with a low laugh: "I don't know the big shopkeeper, this Russian is drunk and can say anything, as long as he doesn't go out to fight, it doesn't matter just looking at him like this." He raised his hand, Pointing to the busiest table over there, "Someone said something over there just now, and everyone applauded him."

Xie Jing asked Bai Mingyu: "Didn't you stay in Russia for a while, do you understand what they said?"

Bai Mingyu said: "I'm only going there for a few months, how can I learn so quickly, you think everyone is the same as you?" He didn't blush himself, and turned his head curiously to ask the shopkeeper, "Hey, what do these foreigners say? What's wrong, why are you so happy?"

"The man said something in slang to the effect of 'Drinking is the number one pleasure in Ross'—"

"That's true. I've never seen someone who can drink so happily." Bai Mingyu laughed: "Oh, sometimes I envy them. They are so free. I'm different. I still have to make money .”

Bai Mingyu folded his hands in his sleeves and shook his head with emotion.

Xie Jing ignored him, let Bai Er show off, turned to check with the shopkeeper, and asked if there were enough drinks in the near future.

Bai Mingyu hadn't been so leisurely for several days, and he calculated in his mind, probably since Master Jiu came to Nanfang, he has been running back and forth, and he has a lot of time to eat during the day, thinking this way, he couldn't help but look at Xie Jing, who was working on the side, thought it was better than before. Although he was far away from his family, father and brother this year, Xiao Xie was always by his side, so he didn't have to worry about everything. Just thinking about it here, Xiao Xie has already taken care of it over there. , is really a master inside and outside.

If it wasn't for the prestige of Master Jiu, Bai Mingyu would have wanted to run to get him back.

Xiao Xie is so capable, who doesn't like it?

Bai Mingyu waited for him to finish his work, touched Xie Jing with his arm, and joked: "Hey, Xiao Xie, do you still remember that Cao Yunzhao?"

Xie Jing said: "Remember, why did you mention him suddenly?"

Bai Mingyu said cheerfully: "I just saw the tavern coming out today, and I remembered that if Cao Yunzhao was here, what would he say, what is it?"

Xie Jing thought about it for a while, and then smiled: "Drinking alcohol is a manifestation of the Russian national nature, is it because of their worship of Dionysus, and is a desire to return to nature and unfettered life?"

Bai Mingyu was overjoyed, clapped his hands and smiled, "Yes, his sour words are different from others, hahaha!"

He was smiling, but suddenly the smile stopped abruptly.

He was standing opposite Xie Jing, so Xiao Xie hadn't noticed yet, and he saw Master Jiu leading someone over at the first sight.

Bai Mingyu has been punished by Master Jiu since he was a child. He has suffered so many beatings over the years. Before he could figure it out, his body reacted first, and immediately stiffened his voice and said, "Xiao Xie, check this house, I'll go and see Look at the other houses, let's go separately, so it's quicker!" He didn't wait for Xie Jing to reply, and immediately slipped away with oil on his feet.

Xie Jing stood there, feeling something was wrong, and turned around to see Bai Jiuye.

Master Jiu looked at him for a moment, then suddenly said, "You know Cao Yunzhao well."

Xie Jing: "!!"

Xie Jing bit the bullet and said: "I also heard people say it, and it was fun."

Master Jiu glanced at him indifferently, and didn't ask any more questions.

Master Jiu hadn't recovered from the cold and came in and coughed a few times. Xie Jing poured him a cup of hot tea. Master Jiu took it and asked him about the tavern in a low voice. time difference.

Xie Jing followed Master Jiu's orders, and was a little slow at first. He dealt with it for a while, then looked around, and asked in a low voice, "Master, it's too messy here, why don't you go back first?"

Master Jiu said, "It's okay."

Xie Jing speeded up and buried herself in her work.

After he finished it, almost an hour later, he showed Master Jiu the account book that he had processed. Seeing Master nodded, he let out a sigh of relief, reached for the cup beside him and wanted to drink, and swallowed the first sip. Feeling something was wrong, but it was too late, he coughed in embarrassment, his face turned red.

Master Jiu stretched out his hand and dipped a little of the liquid in his glass. After licking it, he knew it was strong wine.

Vodka was colorless and tasteless. Xie Jing took a big sip before realizing she had taken the wrong cup, and coughed a few times: "I, I took the wrong cup. This should be the one the Second Young Master drank just now." Some big tongues.

The wine was so strong that Xie Jing felt her tongue was going numb.

Not only that, when the strong wine entered the intestines, a rush of heat gushed out of the lungs, his face was hot, and what he heard in his ears seemed to be through cotton, when Master Jiu spoke, he had to get very close to hear clearly.

Master Jiu knew that he was a light drinker, so he downed just one glass. Seeing Xie Jing push himself into his arms, he stretched out his hand to hug him, and asked the shopkeeper to open the small door at the back, and took him away.

In the black car, Xie Jing didn't go anywhere honestly when he sat in it. He felt that the movements were small, but when he was drunk, he would magnify those small movements several times, and the little thoughts were immediately revealed.

He stretched out his hand to hold Master Jiu's, and his fingers intertwined with him. After a few times, Master Jiu simply held his whole hand in the palm of his hand.

Xie Jing lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Use your finger to write on Master Jiu's palm, stroke by stroke, extremely serious.

Master Jiu clenched his hands a little, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't make trouble."

Xie Jing leaned closer to his ear and exhaled hot air: "Master, aren't you, you want to check my homework? I'll write for you."

Probably because he felt that speaking close to him was a normal thing to do. After he finished speaking, he became a little more courageous. He even licked the pinna of his ear lightly when he was about to leave after speaking—but only once, the tips of his ears were red, and he buried his head He didn't get up for a while on Jiuye's shoulder.

Jiu Ye was so teased by him that he couldn't get up or down, his eyes darkened.

When they got back to the bungalow, Xie Jingren was too drunk to walk.

This is the second time Xie Jing was carried back to the bedroom.

As soon as Master Jiu entered the door, someone came up to greet him, wanting to help, "Master, let me come."

Master Jiu refused, and ordered: "Go and boil some hot water, and ask the small kitchen to cook a bowl of hangover soup."

The man quickly agreed to go.

When going upstairs, Xie Jing refused again. He moved so badly that Master Jiu could only put him down first, hugging him and coaxing him, "Okay, don't hold him, I'll help you walk, okay? Jing'er is not drunk ,I know."

Xie Jing stood there for a while before saying, "Master, I have something to say."

Master Jiu said, "You tell me."

Xie Jing turned around, supported his arm with one hand and the stairs with the other, and suddenly took a breath and said loudly: "Everyone in the East Court, where are you!"

He shouted loudly, and the empty hall of the western-style building echoed. Almost immediately, the busy people in the mansion stopped what they were doing and rushed over. ordered.

Xie Jing looked around and nodded seriously: "It's all here."

Master Jiu let him mess around, and was about to coax him, but suddenly Xie Jing stretched out his hand, grabbed his arm and pulled him closer. The other party hooked his neck and kissed him.

Master Jiu was stunned, that kiss fell on his lips, the other party seemed to have missed it, and the second kiss was louder and kissed on the cheek.

Xie Jing tugged at Master Jiu's skirt, turned to look at everyone, his eyes were bright: "I am happy with you, and I want to be with you in the future, and grow old forever!"

Everyone under the stairs: "...!!"

Master Jiu's clothes were pulled by him, his eyes were filled with astonishment, but immediately turned into a deep smile.

……

The first time Xie Jing went back to the bungalow with Master Jiu, he was still sober, but the second time he was groggy, only remembering that he was drunk and bold, and he said and did more than the first time.

Xie Jing woke up the next day with a severe hangover and a headache. He squinted his eyes for a long time before recalling some sporadic memories. He seemed to be drunk.

Master Jiu came out of the bathroom and took a hot towel to wipe his face. Xie Jing asked softly, "Master, did I make a fuss again yesterday?"

Master Jiu raised his eyebrows: "Not only that, you have been tossing and tossing since you entered the door. I carried you up the stairs, but you grabbed the railing and refused to leave. Only then did the two of you carry you into the bedroom and feed you hangover soup. You didn't drink it properly. Let me sit here, spoonful after spoonful, cool it down, feed it, and sleep, it’s a mess, dare to say anything, and ride..."

Xie Jing raised her hand to cover his mouth, her face flushed.

Master Jiu bit his finger, "Are you feeling ashamed now? You showed your strength to the world last night."

Xie Jing was at a loss.

Master Jiu held his hand, put it on his lips and kissed it, and said with a light smile, "I came back yesterday, and shouted for everyone to come over, then stood on the stairs and hugged my neck and kissed me, saying that I will belong to Master in the future. The kind that spends a lifetime with the master." Bai Jiu said, with a little sigh and unconcealed pride in his tone, "You are too strong, I can't stop you."

Xie Jing buried herself in the quilt, feeling that she couldn't go out today.

Master Jiu had kept him by his side for many years, and he knew Xie Jing's temper well. He pretended to cough lightly, but as expected, he saw his little manager Xie slowly emerge from the quilt, with disheveled hair on his forehead and a pair of His eyes were dark and bright, with a mild and tame luster, and he whispered to him to remember to take the medicine.

Jiu Ye wanted to melt all his heart into him, he bent down and kissed him twice, the corners of his lips couldn't hide the smile.

Although I don't want to go downstairs, I still have things to do today.

The Baijia caravan was going back to the provincial capital, and Shang Yulou's theater troupe happened to go together, because the caravan guards were under Zhang Huwei's subordinates, and Xie Jing was the most suitable person to be sent to hand over the two sides, after all, both sides had friendship with him .

Xie Jing washed up, changed her clothes and went downstairs, and went downstairs with Master Jiu.

When he went down the stairs, he couldn't help but think of what Jiu Ye said, he did have a vague impression that he was holding Jiu Ye's arm on the stairs to prevent people from leaving, and even kissed him.

But the kiss was on the face, he didn't kiss in public.

Even if you are drunk, you are too embarrassed to do something too outrageous.

When they got downstairs, the busy people in the hall fell silent after seeing him.

Standing there, Xie Jing's cheeks were burning hot, and she didn't know what to say.

Master Jiu called everyone over, put his hand on Xie Jing's shoulder, and said to everyone: "Jing'er was drunk last night, and not all of what he said was drunk. After all these years, everyone knows that I treat him differently from others. What he said last night is also true. What I mean is that we will work together for many years in the future, we just need to treat him the same as before, there is no need to make more rules, and there is no need to bring up the East Court to talk about it, do you understand?"

Everyone quickly said yes, and their gazes at Xie Jing gradually changed from probing to peaceful.

The people in the East Courtyard are only loyal to Master Jiu, and they will never tell outsiders about it, and they will not even spread the word outside the mansion without Master Jiu's order.

Their master has not been served by anyone for so many years. If a strange mistress came suddenly, it would take a while to get in touch. The two families have different interests, and there will inevitably be twists and turns in the East Court, but Xie Jing is different.

Xiao Xie grew up in their east courtyard, and saved Jiu Ye's life when he was young, and he knew from the bottom of his heart that he was one of his own.

Everyone in the East Court figured out the key, and became more enthusiastic about Xie Jing for a while.
