The Beginning of Siheyuan: The Pig Killer of Qinjia Village

Time flies, and it is February in a blink of an eye.

During this period, Chang Wei and Wen Li held a low-key wedding, and Wen Li officially became the daughter-in-law of the Chang family.

The eldest sister Wenxiu and the second sister Wenhui also went to work at the welfare home, and the Wen family was considered to have made all the arrangements.

On the other side of the courtyard, things were also uneventful, with only two paper kings competing with each other during work hours.

Chang Wei saw this and thought, this won't work? There are still two people who are not getting on well. As the factory director, I must mobilize their enthusiasm and get them moving.

Zhao Hu accidentally revealed that apprentices can also be evaluated as advanced. If they can be evaluated as advanced, then it is a foregone conclusion that they will be promoted after three years of apprenticeship.

After hearing this, Yan Jiecheng no longer had the heart to slack off and directly turned the King of Roll duo into a trio.

Xu Damao saw Yan Jiecheng working so hard and understood the reason.

He is also a member of the younger generation in the hospital. If others get advanced titles and he doesn't, wouldn't he be outdone?

The key point is that if Shazhu got it, he would definitely be ridiculed.

Do it, you must do it.

In a blink of an eye, the trio of the King of Curls became a group of four. Because of their enthusiasm, the atmosphere of the entire slaughterhouse was gradually mobilized.

This was a very unexpected surprise for Chang Wei.

The tavern has been open for a month without us noticing.

Not far from the tavern, a rickshaw driver was singing. "The Emperor has conferred a title on him! For the Dingjing Marquis, a stationery store was built in the Hard Gate..."

At this time, Niu Ye came over and said, "What era is it now? You are still singing "Long live the Lord, long live the Lord"? Come on, sing something new and appropriate..."

Pianye shook his head and said, "Yes, then listen, Niuye, there is a tavern on Qianmen Street! There are two idiot managers..."

Niu Ye interrupted him cheerfully. "Pian'er Ye, you hit the nail on the head. Because of these two idiot managers, I haven't been drinking there for more than half a month."

Pianerye laughed and complained. "It's a nice little tavern, but they have to cook some fried dishes. I don't know if we can afford it, but it's far inferior to those three delicious side dishes. You were chatting here, and a room full of fried dishes came over. They're not delicious dishes. It's so choking. How can we drink?"

Niu Ye also complained. "That's right, we go drinking to have fun. After drinking a mouthful of liquor, our bodies feel good. After eating some delicious side dishes, our tongues feel good. After chatting about all sorts of things, our hearts feel good.

Who goes to a tavern for dinner?"

Pianerye nodded. "That's right, you are wise."

Niu Ye continued to complain. "Besides, nowadays, people who eat stir-fried dishes are so self-righteous and look down on people who only drink alcohol. This is no longer a pub. The comfortable days are gone."

"Gone."

"It's great. I've been tormented by two idiot managers."

"No!"

"Anyway, I'm not coming. I'm leaving."

……

In the tavern

He Yongqiang sat in the tavern bored, looking at the deserted tavern with poor business and few customers. He went home to sleep in a fit of anger.

Imagination is beautiful, reality is cruel.

The bistro has some nice stir-fried dishes, but few people order them. Who would come to a bistro for a proper meal?

Three plates of delicious braised dishes are gone. Many people come here to try the food, or they are old customers who come to revisit the dish.

If this one is gone, half of the people will be gone.

Also, because the atmosphere of the tavern has changed, old neighbors like Niu Ye and people from all walks of life don't like to come here anymore. If they come, they will be looked down upon. What's the point?

As a result, another half of it was lost.

With this calculation, why would anyone come to the tavern?

After he left, the remaining four people including Zhao Yali gathered together and chatted listlessly.

"Hey, if it goes on like this every day, we'll probably be starving for the rest of the month!"

Cashier Kong Yuqin said in disbelief. "No way, how can this month's salary be enough to pay?"

Master Ma continued. "I think it's bad. The food and drinks I bought, especially the wine, are 20% higher than what was previously in the account."

Zhao Yali learned the inside story from Pian'erye. "You don't know that Xu Huizhen bought her wine from her mother's winery in Niulanshan, so it can't be cheap."

He Yumei: "I heard that He Yongqiang's wife is also from Niulanshan. She and He are cousins."

Zhao Yali gossiped. "They are different people! Xu Huizhen used to help sell wine at the winery. She is eloquent and capable, so she should have a good relationship with them.

He Yongqiang's wife doesn't have this ability. If she did, would she have let Xu Huizhen run the He Old Man Tavern?"

At this time, Fan Jinyou walked in with a big horse and a golden knife. He heard the conversation between the few people and said disapprovingly, "It's okay, just do your job well and don't think too much. There is no one in our tavern right now because the rich people who spend money on drinks are busy discussing public-private partnerships. It will be fine after a while."

In his eyes, those who can come to drink are rich people.

Everyone sneered at his words, curled their lips and dispersed.

Fan Jinyou sat down without realizing it, looked around the tavern but didn't see He Yongqiang, so he asked He Yumei, "Where is He Yongqiang?"

He Yumei answered casually, "Seeing that there was no one in the tavern, I went home to sleep."

Fan Jinyou: "Accountant Zhao, record this as being absent from work for half a day."

Zhao Yali: "Do you still remember?" She thought to herself, in this month, she hadn't remembered that He Yongqiang was absent from work for three days.

"Remember, why not? Since we have set up an attendance system, we have to abide by it. He Yongqiang does nothing every day and gets paid for nothing. As long as he is not here, it will be recorded."

"Okay, I'll remember that."

……

In the blink of an eye, it was night.

On the way to the tavern, He Yongqiang met Cai Quanwu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He was delighted and hurried forward to talk to him.

"Cai Quanwu, why haven't I seen you recently?"

He had long wanted to ask how the tavern was run.

But it was not certain where Xu Huizhen had gone, so the target was set on Cai Quanwu. However, he seemed to have disappeared and had not shown up since. No one knew where he lived.

Cai Quanwu's answer was concise. "I make money by riding a tricycle."

"That Cai Quanwu, I want to ask you something."

"You said."

He Yongqiang directly stated his purpose. "How did you run the tavern when you were in charge?"

Cai Quanwu looked at him and said expressionlessly, "It's no use telling you that in a few years this tavern will have nothing to do with you."

He Yongqiang asked quickly. "What? What do you mean?"

Cai Quanwu explained directly. "Public-private partnerships implement a redemption policy. If you want to redeem, you must first cooperate in the form of dividends and then further redeem.

Forget about the tavern, even if I give you the Eight Buildings, it will have nothing to do with you in a few years.

Do I need to tell you how to run the business?"

He Yongqiang asked in disbelief. "Cai Quanwu, who told you that?"

Cai Quanwu replied impatiently. "I was riding a tricycle a few days ago and picked up two district street office leaders. They talked about this on the way.

It is obvious that this is the only way for socialism to succeed, and it is already following the pattern of Big Brother.

No more talking, I’m leaving.”

He Yongqiang thought about it and rushed home immediately.

When Cai Quanwu saw He Yongqiang, he grinned, turned into a hot pot restaurant not far away, and walked to a table.

"Boss, Madam Boss, it's done as you said."

Chang Wei smiled. "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Cai."

Cai Quanwu responded: "Of course, I'll go over first then."

His wife and children were sitting at the next table not far away. The place chosen for help happened to be not far away from this hot pot restaurant, so Xu Huizhen invited his family of four to come for dinner.

Xu Huizhen said with a smile, "Brother Cai, if the food is not enough, order more."

"Okay, thank you, Madam Boss."

After Cai Quanwu left, Chang Wei said with a smile, "Wife, let's eat quickly, your cousin will be here soon."

For nearly a month, Xu Huizhen had been arranging for Cai Quanwu to observe the situation in the tavern. When she felt that the time was almost right, He Yongqiang met Cai Quanwu.

Xu Huizhen smiled and nodded. "Yes! Buying the tavern will save me the trouble of having to deal with it again in the future. I won't have the time for that."

She actually didn't care about the money the tavern earned, as her family really didn't need it. Her only goal was to promise her godfather and let the tavern be passed down.

……

He Yongqiang went home to discuss with Xu Huizhi. He decided not to run the business and sold the tavern to Xu Huizhen.

But I didn't tell Xu Huizhi the truth. If I had told her, Xu Huizhi would definitely not want to go to my house and tell it.

What he was thinking in his mind was that he had to quickly sell the tavern to Xu Huizhen, otherwise he would have to suffer a loss.

After the two of them had discussed it, they went out and went their separate ways.

When He Yongqiang arrived at the tavern, he saw that there was still no one there. He had to wait for news from his wife. He was bored and in a good mood.

He poured himself two taels of wine and drank it with some pickles.

Fan Jinyou also ordered some food and drinks and drank at the next table.

There were three tables in the tavern, two of which were occupied by public and private managers.

Fan Jinyou suddenly said, "He Yongqiang, you have only been absent from work for three days this month. Tomorrow is the beginning of the month, and you won't get much salary this month."

He Yongqiang no longer cared. He had long been dissatisfied with Fan Jinyou and said with disdain, "Fan Jinyou, you mean salary? Do you have the money to pay the salary?

And you didn't come either? Did you remember? "

Fan Jinyou defended himself. "I was out for something."

He Yongqiang laughed sarcastically. "Yes, you run around every day and call out for help."

"you……"

"Even if there are no customers in the tavern, I have to stand there. I can't go back to sleep. I have to be recorded as absent from work, right?"

"Yes, this is the attendance system we set..."

"You are the public manager of the tavern, right? Your job is to run the tavern well. Why do you run around every day? Why don't you record your absence from work?"

Fan Jinyou wanted to explain himself. "I..."

He Yongqiang interrupted him directly and slapped the table. "I'm telling you, Fan Jinyou, it's because you've been running around and not running the business properly. Now look, how many tables of guests are there in the tavern?"

Fan Jinyou was obviously not as powerful as him, so he argued, "Why can't I just run the business properly? There are still business matters, and it's not just my business."

He Yongqiang said directly. "If you are not here to run the tavern, then what are you doing here? Do you want to reform me? Why don't you try reforming someone else?

If I didn’t trust the government and believe that they would send knowledgeable people to help run the business, would I have done public-private partnerships?”

He had already figured it out. This public-private partnership was not a good thing. He guessed that someone like Fan Jinyou was deliberately arranged to bring down the tavern and then buy it out at a low price.

Fan Jinyou blushed, he didn't expect He Yongqiang to be so tough today. "He Yongqiang, you are anti-party and anti-government."

He Yongqiang sneered. "Fan Jinyou, don't take chicken feathers as a token of authority and put a accusation on me. I didn't say anything anti-party. The party is a good party for the people.

I feel unlucky that you, the plague god, have come to our tavern."

After saying that, he picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and prepared to leave.

Fan Jinyou was scolded, feeling unhappy but helpless, he looked at Zhao Yali and said, "Write it up for him, he's absent for half a day again."

He Yongqiang stopped and looked back. "Fan Jinyou, have you paid for the food and drinks you ordered every night?

No? Don't worry, I'll remember it all for you."

Then he looked at Zhao Yali and said.

"Accountant Zhao, let Fan Jinyou settle the accounts later. Maybe you can still pay some wages tomorrow."

He had already looked at this month's turnover, and after deducting the costs, he didn't even make 50 yuan.

Zhao Yali looked at these two people and was speechless.

One asked the other to record his absence from work, and the other asked the other to record his food and drink bill. Neither of them is a good person.

When Fan Jinyou heard that he was still keeping an account for the free food and drinks he had eaten this month, if he spent money, his salary would not be enough, so he hurriedly shouted, "He Yongqiang, did you pay for the drinks?"

“I didn’t give it, but I kept a record of it, and there was a dividend deduction.

Unlike you, who only talk and do nothing but want to take advantage of others, you are dreaming. "

He Yongqiang looked at him with disdain, said something disdainful and left.

Leaving behind Fan Jinyou with a confused look on his face.

……

酒馆后院。

Xu Huizhi also came, and when she saw Xu Huizhen and Chang Wei, she directly explained her purpose.

"Sister, brother-in-law, Yongqiang said he doesn't know how to run a business, and he has come to know himself in the past month... He wants to sell the pub to you, and the price can be according to the standard set by the government."

Chang Wei smiled and nodded.

Xu Huizhen asked to confirm. "Huizhi, have you two made up your mind? Once the pub is sold, it will have nothing to do with you."

Xu Huizhi said leisurely. "Sister, think about it. Yongqiang was jealous of the tavern's profits. I told him before that we don't have that ability and should just live a stable life, but he insisted on doing this."

Xu Huizhen held her hand and said, "As your sister, I can't bear to see you live in such a tight spot. I'll give you 30% more than the standard price. I've made some money in the tavern over the years, so it will be easier for you to live a little better."

Xu Huizhi burst into tears when she heard this.

Chang Wei said, "Give me 50% more? Huizhi, you don't have a job, and there are ration restrictions in the city. It will be inconvenient for your family to get food in the future. I will give you 20% more to buy a job and transfer you and the children's household registration to the city."

He thought that this way the situation in the drama would not happen again, where the food would not be served to the hungry people.

Xu Huizhi thanked him quickly with gratitude. "Thank you, brother-in-law."

This sister-in-law is so nice and thoughtful.

Chang Wei smiled and continued, "But I have a condition. I'll write the agreement and let He Yongqiang come in to sign it, and give him a few words of advice. I know he's definitely waiting for you outside. He's a very face-conscious person."

He wanted to cut the Gordian knot quickly and didn't want to waste too much time on this matter and cause trouble.

"Hey! Brother-in-law made you guess. Yongqiang said he was going to the pub for a walk and was waiting for me outside the alley. I'll go call him now." Xu Huizhi answered truthfully and got up to call He Yongqiang.

She was surprised that her brother-in-law was so capable as to be able to guess all this. He and her cousin were indeed a perfect match.
