Chapter 166: Daqianmen Tavern, Goodbye Chen Xueru.
"Don't be fooled by the fact that it's not very big, but this tavern is from the previous dynasty. It has survived the war and is still very well preserved. There is also a wonderful person here, named Xu Huizhen, who is not only beautiful, but also a good manager.
After the public-private partnership, this tavern now has two managers, a public manager and a private manager, in other words, two bosses. The public manager is not a good person, and wants to make the tavern public, but the public manager Fan Jinyou is a good-for-nothing, and nothing can be accomplished, and in the end, the tavern fell into the hands of Xu Huizhen.
Oh, unfortunately, Xu Huizhen is not here today, otherwise I could have shown you this strong woman. The man in the old cotton-padded jacket you see is Xu Huizhen's man, his name seems to be Cai Quanwu, he used to be a shrew, a bag carrier, very honest, and he got together with Xu Huizhen."
Xu Dongsheng and Xiao Yitu came to the door of a tavern together. Looking at the sign of the Daqianmen Tavern at the door, Xiao Yitu and Xu Dongsheng introduced:
She sounded like a strange and strong woman, so Xu Dongsheng wanted to take a look. Xiao Yitu might be hungry, so he pulled Xu Dongsheng into the tavern, which was already crowded. After entering the tavern, they didn't see Xu Huizhen. Xiao Yitu immediately told Xu Dongsheng that it was a coincidence. He looked at a man in his forties behind the counter, wearing an old cotton coat and a red scarf, with wrinkled skin on his face. Although his clothes were not very beautiful, his eyes were unusually bright.
After that, Xiao Yitu leaned close to Xu Dongsheng's ear and told him that Cai Quanwu looked to be in his forties, but he was only 30. Xu Dongsheng looked at him again and he was still in his forties. As expected, he looked a little anxious.
Although they did not see Xu Huizhen, Xu Dongsheng and Cai Quanwu did see many familiar faces. Many of those who had just fought crickets at Luo's house came here to drink and eat. The tavern only had wine and side dishes, but no staple food. However, they did not care. Wine is the essence of grain, so they can be eaten even if they don't eat staple food.
Uncle Niu and Uncle Pian sat opposite each other at a table in the corner, drinking wine and eating snacks. The coldness on their bodies had not yet been dispelled by the warm air inside the tavern. They had just arrived.
Xu Dongsheng also saw a person whom he had not seen since their first meeting two months ago. This person was Chen Xueru. At that time, Chen Xueru said that she had opened a shop in Qianmenlouzi, a silk shop.
It was then that Xu Dongsheng remembered that Chaoyang Gate was the Front Gate. Unexpectedly, they met again by accident. Xu Dongsheng saw that Chen Xueru had her hair tied up today, and was wearing a cheongsam with stockings and a mink shawl on the outside. She looked a little out of place in the tavern. In front of her sat a man wearing a gray cotton coat, which seemed to be brand new. He had a long horse face and a bitter expression. He was holding a glass and drinking wine.
Chen Xueru just looked at him straight. Xu Dongsheng saw that she didn't notice him and didn't look at him for long. Xu Dongsheng guessed that this man was Chen Xueru's man.
"Nothing. Bring me half a pound of liquor, a plate of peanuts, a plate of tripe, a plate of pickled vegetables, and a plate of chili peppers."
Xiao Yitu didn't notice Xu Dongsheng's gaze, and came to the counter with him, and ordered half a catty of wine and four side dishes. Xu Dongsheng heard that half a catty of wine and four dishes were somewhat unfair to these dishes.
"Old Xiao, what's half a catty enough? One person is just over two taels, at least each person should have half a catty."
Xu Dongsheng smiled and doubled the amount, as if he was trying to trick Xiao Yitu. Seeing this, Xiao Yitu was not dissatisfied at all. Instead, he was very happy that Xu Dongsheng did not treat him as an outsider.
"Okay, please sit down for a moment, we'll be there soon."
Upon hearing this, Cai Quanwu was not in a hurry to collect the money and asked the two to sit down first. Xiao Yitu did not make things difficult for them and gave the money. Then the two of them went to the table of Niu Ye and Pian Ye.
"Hey, Master Niu, Master Pian, this is fate. We meet again. There are no seats around. Can we share a table?"
Although Xiao Yitu and Xu Dongsheng were asking, they were already waiting when Xu Dongsheng and Xiao Yitu came in, so they asked them to sit down directly. Only after Xu Dongsheng and Xiao Yitu sat down did Chen Xueru in the tavern hear Xu Dongsheng's voice twice and had an expression, because she felt that the voice sounded familiar. She stood up and looked towards Xu Dongsheng.
When Chen Xueru saw that it was Xu Dongsheng, she was stunned for a moment, but when she looked at Xu Dongsheng, he didn't look at her, and now they were in the tavern, so she didn't choose to stand up immediately.
"Fan Jinyou, since your mother despises me so much, forget it. Our Chen Xueru doesn't have to marry you, Fan Jinyou."
Chen Xueru suddenly stood up and looked in the direction of Xu Dongsheng. Fan Jinyou saw it but didn't think much about it. Unexpectedly, Chen Xueru, who had been silent for a long time, said that it didn't matter whether she and Fan Jinyou could get along or not.
"Xue Ru, you know my mother's temper. She is very stubborn. If it really doesn't work, I will take out the household registration booklet and we can get the certificate secretly. Then my mother won't be able to say anything."
After hearing what Chen Xueru said, Fan Jinyou also panicked. He helped Chen Xueru recover the assets that Liao Yucheng had absconded with. Later, he and Chen Xueru experienced a lot, and he also found that Chen Xueru was a good woman. However, Fan Jinyou's mother just looked down on Chen Xueru. This also led to the fact that even after so much time has passed, there has been no substantial development with Chen Xueru.
Moreover, it was Chen Xueru who fell in love with her first, not him. Unexpectedly, now it has come to this point, and he already has Chen Xueru in his heart, but in the end, Chen Xueru does this to him?
"No, your mother doesn't agree. It's not right. You should go back and deal with your mother first."
Chen Xueru stood up and walked out of the tavern. Seeing this, Fan Jinyou quickly chased after her. Although Xu Dongsheng was chatting with Niu Ye and the others, he was still listening to the conversation between Chen Xueru and the others.
Originally, Xu Dongsheng thought that Chen Xueru was married, but he didn't expect that Chen Xueru was still single. At that time, he saw that Chen Xueru was very sentimental, so he had the intention to cooperate with her. It was just that he was worried about the quality of Chen Xueru's husband, so Xu Dongsheng didn't provoke her. If that's the case, it's not impossible to cooperate.
Chen Xueru owns a silk shop, so she must be buying furs. Xu Dongsheng is an expert in tailoring and leather making, so he has the best sheepskin and rabbit skin. Most importantly, in this hemisphere, there is also a piece of top-notch tiger skin. These things are of no use to Xu Dongsheng.
Moreover, if they were piled up in the hemisphere, it would be a waste of space. Therefore, seeing that Chen Xueru was alone and had no husband, and Xu Dongsheng had a favor with her, he should be able to reach a deal. Because just now, when Chen Xueru left the tavern, she glanced at Xu Dongsheng.
After thinking about it, Xu Dongsheng decided that after receiving the task from the steel rolling mill tomorrow, he would come to Chen Xueru to see if he could negotiate some business with her. If successful, having more supplies would be a disguised way of helping everyone.
Although fur is not something that ordinary people can afford, it is good to promote consumption. The most important thing is to clear up some space in the hemisphere. After all, giving it away or throwing it away would be a waste of resources. We still have to gain something from it.
Moreover, if the cooperation with Chen Xueru goes well, they can become long-term partners. However, it still needs to be observed. Let's talk about it tomorrow. According to today's hexagram, the transaction may be repeated and it may not go well. Moreover, Xiao Yitu said that Fan Jinyou is a good-for-nothing. If Fan Jinyou encounters this, it will bring him trouble.
