Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

After He Yuzhu left, Cai Quanwu went to the home of the carpenter who made the sign, and the carpenter showed Cai Quanwu the sign he had already made.

"Master, you did a great job, but I have something else to do and I'd like you to come to my shop with me. Is it convenient for you now?"

"Okay, I have nothing to do right now, so I'll go with you."

Cai Quanwu pulled the carpenter back to the store on a three-wheeled cart, and pointed to the south wall of the tavern and said to the carpenter.

"Master, I want to nail a row of one-foot-wide wooden boards on the south wall to make tables, so that people who come to the tavern just to drink but not buy food can sit here and drink."

The carpenter walked to the wall, took a look and said, "It's not a big problem, but you can only do it close to the window edge, not too high."

"Then how long will it take to finish it? We also need a row of stools."

"It's easier to fix the wood board to the wall, but it's hard to find 1-foot wide boards. If you don't mind, I can get two boards and put them together for you. It will only take two days to make the stool."

"Well, just put two pieces of wood together, and do it as quickly as possible. My tavern is waiting to open."

"Well, I'll try to hurry up as early as possible."

"Then I'll trouble you, Master."

Cai Quanwu sent the carpenter back and asked him to arrange for someone to hang the sign on the opening day. While Cai Quanwu was busy at the tavern, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle to his master Wu Baotian's house. After all, He Yushui was going to have summer vacation, and it was inconvenient for him to go to work every day and take He Yushui to the steel rolling mill every day. It would be better to find a peer to play with He Yushui. He Yuzhu first went to the house in Chunshu Hutong. The six rag collectors were not at home. After He Yuzhu entered the yard, he went directly to the blessed land and went to the chicken coop to pick up 5 kilograms of eggs and put them in a cloth bag. He couldn't go to his master's house empty-handed.

He Yuzhu rode his bicycle to his master Wu Baotian's house carrying eggs. Seeing that the gate was open, He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle directly into the yard.

"Master, Master's Wife, I'm here to see you." He Yuzhu shouted loudly before entering the yard.

"Keep your voice down! I just coaxed Xiaorui to sleep. If you wake him up, I'll show you how I'll deal with you." Liu E walked out of the house and said to He Yuzhu unhappily.

"Master's Wife, I was wrong. I will pay more attention next time. Is my master back?"

"Your master hasn't finished get off work yet, but judging by the time, it should be soon. Their restaurant is not like the factory you are in. Why did he think of coming to see me today?"

"Master's Wife, look at what you said. I came to see you because I missed you. It's like I haven't been here for a long time. These are the eggs I bought for you and Master."

"You are just here, kid, why are you bringing things with you? We have everything we need at home. You are so extravagant. I wonder how you will have money to marry a wife in the future." Liu E muttered to herself, but still took the egg in her hand. After all, this was He Yuzhu's filial piety.

"You go sit inside for a while. I'll go put the eggs in the kitchen."

"Master's wife, I earn 65 yuan a month working at the steel mill. I bought some eggs to honor Master and you, but you make me sound like a prodigal son." He Yuzhu said to Liu E with a grin.

"You, what's wrong? Master's wife can't say anything to you." Liu E pretended to hit He Yuzhu.

"Yes, yes, my master's wife said I was doing this for my own good. She treats me the best." He Yuzhu immediately admitted defeat and pushed his bicycle to the corner.

"Master's Wife, my brother Yi will graduate from high school this year. Will he take the college entrance exam?"

"He passed the exam, but the university he applied to had too many applicants, so he didn't get in."

"Can't we go to another school?"

"I heard him say that this year's college entrance examination is organized by each school, not a unified exam, so I can't transfer to other schools."

"Then repeat one more year and take the exam again next year."

"Your master and I advised him the same thing, but he wouldn't listen. He said he wanted to help build the motherland, but now he's out looking for a job."

"Brother Youyi has his own ideas. He is a high school student, so it should be easy for him to find a job. By the way, where is my sister Xiangxiu? Why can't I see her?"

"Your sister Xiangxiu's boyfriend is off today, so take her out to play."

"My sister Xiangxiu's wedding is coming soon."

"Well, I've already decided with the man. The eighth of next month is a good date, so we'll set it on that day. Don't forget to come then."

"Okay, I'll remember that. I'll come early in the morning. What do you and my master have prepared for my sister Xiangxiu? Don't be stingy, otherwise, sister Xiangxiu won't be able to hold her head up high when she gets married."

"You, you're still provoking me. Your master and I have already discussed that when your sister Xiangxiu gets married, she will be given a bicycle as a dowry. Now you can rest assured, right?"

"Wow, my master has suffered a heavy loss this time. My sister Xiangxiu will be so embarrassed when she marries him. If Cao Erming dares to treat my sister Xiangxiu badly, I will use He Yuzhu to take him down."

"What Cao Erming? He will be your brother-in-law in the future. Do you think you are Lu Zhishen? You are so arrogant."

"By the way, Master's wife, let me discuss something with you."

"Tell me what's the matter. I knew you had something to do today. The little fox's tail is showing now."

"Hehe, Master's wife is really amazing. No matter how cunning I am, I can't escape the eyes of Master's wife, the hunter. My sister Yushui is about to have summer vacation, and I have to go to the steel mill to work during the day. I don't have time to take care of Yushui, so I want to leave Yushui at your house and let her play with Xiangyun."

"That's it. I didn't think it was a big deal. You can just send the rainwater over when the time comes."

"Hey, then I'll leave first. I have something else to do. I'll come back to see Master and you another day."

"I knew that as soon as we finished talking, you would definitely run away." Liu E smiled as he watched He Yuzhu push his bicycle out of his door.

He Yuzhu rode his bicycle to the house in Qudeng Hutong, and then entered the blessed land. He Yuzhu came to the Wuji Hall, sat on the enlightenment stone in the hall, and planned what to do in the future. With the tavern in Daqianmen, he had a base in the south city. You know, the people living near Zhengyangmen are all the old and young of the Manchus. Many of these people don't work and live by selling things passed down from their ancestors. As long as you seize the opportunity, you will definitely get a lot of good things.

The only drawback is that the tavern cannot hire people, otherwise I can use the tavern to make garlic sausages from the pork from the blessed land and cave and sell them. I can kill the pig and make bacon, which I can sell as a snack in the tavern. It's a pity that my blessed land and cave cannot be harvested with one click, otherwise I can make bacon with just a thought, which is much easier. I have to do everything myself, which is like a life of a cow or a horse.

The next day, Cai Quanwu got up before dawn. Just as he sat down in the tavern to eat something to fill his stomach, he heard someone calling outside the door, "Boss Cai, Boss Cai." Cai Quanwu opened the door of the tavern, and the coachman driving the carriage outside saw Cai Quanwu coming out and spoke.

"Boss Cai, are you ready? Let's go if you're ready."

"I've packed everything, let's go."

Cai Quanwu immediately locked the door of the tavern and got into the carriage.

"Gee." The driver whipped his horse and pulled the cart away.

"Boss Cai, it will take at least 2-3 hours to walk from here to Niulanshan. Why don't you lie down in the car and take a nap?"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, I'll just sleep a little longer."

Cai Quanwu couldn't sleep because of the sun, so he stood up and said, "Master, where are we? How long have I slept?"

"Boss Cai, you have only slept for less than two hours. We have already entered Shunyi District. It will probably take another half an hour to reach Niulanshan."

"Is it coming so soon?"

"Of course not. When we got here, there were only two of us in the car, which was almost empty. It was easy for two horses to pull it, so it ran fast. If we go back, it won't run so fast. It will take at least four or five hours. Boss Cai, you have to run such a long distance this time, it must be very strenuous."

"I can't help it. A tavern depends entirely on wine. The wine produced in our city, Niulanshan, is better. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come all the way here."

Cai Quanwu chatted with the driver and unknowingly arrived at Niulanshan Town. Cai Quanwu got off the car and found a family to ask where Xu Jinping lived. After finding out, he led the driver to Xu Jinping's home. Cai Quanwu arrived at Xu Jinping's home and gave Xu Jinping the letter written by He Yuzhu. After reading the letter, Xu Jinping said to Cai Quanwu.

"Chef He wrote to me and said that you are his cousin who opened a tavern. He asked me to recommend a wine shop to you. Since Chef He thinks highly of me and remembers me, tell me what kind of wine you want to buy."

"Master Xu, I want to buy two kinds of wine, one is for ordinary people to drink, and the other is slightly better, but it cannot be diluted with water at all."

"I understand what you mean. Come with me and I'll show you around."

Xu Jinping took Cai Quanwu to a wine shop. "The owner of this wine shop and I have been friends for many years. Although this shop is not big, the wine here is also well-known in our town. You will know when you go in and try their wine. Lao Zhang, I have brought you a customer."

As soon as Cai Quanwu followed Xu Jinping into the store, he smelled a strong aroma of wine, "Hmm, the wine here smells authentic."

In the end, Cai Quanwu bought 4000 jars of 8 kilograms of Erguotou at Zhangji Wine Shop at 400 yuan per kilogram, and 7000 jars of 4 kilograms of Erguotou at 200 yuan per kilogram. He spent 300 million yuan on the wine, and another 12 jars of wine at 120 million yuan. After thanking Master Xu, Cai Quanwu got on the carriage and said to the driver, "Master, let's go."

It was already 1pm when Cai Quanwu returned to the tavern. Cai Quanwu calculated that he had left home at 5am, so the round trip took nearly 8 hours. The driver helped move the wine to the backyard. After unloading all the wine to the backyard, Cai Quanwu poured two liang of wine for the driver.

"Master Ma, you've worked hard today. How about you try some of the wine I brought in?"

Master Ma took the wine jug, poured a small cup and took a sip.

"This is good wine. It's much better than the wine sold in this tavern before. How much do you plan to sell this wine for per pound in the future?"

"Before, the tavern sold wine for 6000 yuan per kilogram. I plan to be 500 yuan more expensive than him."

"Boss Cai is very honest. This price is absolutely unbeatable. I will come to your place often to drink in the future."

"Thank you for your support. This is your reward for today's hard work. Please keep it. I will come to Niulanshan to pick it up next time."

Cai Quanwu handed 10 yuan to Master Ma, who took the money and said, "Then I thank you, Boss Cai. Just let me know if you have anything to ask me in the future."

After finishing his drink, Master Ma got up and left the tavern. Cai Quanwu stood behind the counter, dreaming about the booming business after the tavern opened. Just as Cai Quanwu was dreaming, the carpenter arrived with a cart of things.

"Boss Cai, I have prepared what you want. Let me install it for you now."

"Thank you, Master. Please install it. Once it's done, my tavern will be open tomorrow."

The carpenter started nailing the boards on the wall, and in less than 20 minutes all four boards were fixed to the wall.

"Boss Cai, this board is stuck on top. If you want to remove it later, just remember to remove the buckle at the bottom. The total cost of the 16 stools is 100 million yuan. You have already paid me a deposit of 20 yuan, so you only need to pay me another 80 yuan."
