The Great Era of Siheyuan

Li Wenqiang ignored the hostile looks of the men and walked straight to the counter.

"Do you have any beer? Give me a glass and a small plate of pickles."

When Zhao Yali saw the person clearly, she felt that he looked very familiar. Wasn't he the one who beat up Fan Jinyou a few days ago? She shuddered immediately.

"Sanmao!"

Zhao Yali smiled at him.

Li Wenqiang took out the money from his pocket, counted it, and handed it over, then looked around. Fan Jinyou was not there, nor was Xu Huizhen. Instead, that nagging Cai Quanwu was squatting in the corner drinking, and he drank without saying a word.

"Here, all right!"

Zhao Yali filled a glass with about half a liter of beer and carefully placed it on the counter along with a small plate of pickles, fearing that he would hit her.

It was really because Li Wenqiang left such a deep impression on her that day that she beat up Fan Jinyou without saying a word. He was a cadre from the street office and she could not afford to offend him.

"Hello, can you share a table with me?"

Li Wenqiang walked up to Chen Xueru holding a wine glass and pickles and asked with a smile.

"Please do as you please! But you are quite interesting. This is the first time I have seen someone drink beer like pickles."

Chen Xueru smiled brightly and generously.

"I would like to order some barbecued meat and peanuts, but they don't have any! Besides, it's just drinking! Drink whatever you want, why worry so much, isn't that what you mean?"

Li Wenqiang sat down and looked at her carefully, then compared his wife with Chen Xueru. Well, his wife was still beautiful.

"You're right. What's your name? My name is Chen Xueru. I run a silk shop next door. This is Elena. You can guess where she is from!"

Chen Xueru generously introduced herself and Elena next to her, which happened to be what Li Wenqiang wanted.

"Hello! Miss Chen, my name is Li Wenqiang, nice to meet you. I guess this beautiful Miss Elena should be from the Soviet Union!"

Li Wenqiang looked at them politely and gently, with a confident look.

"Oh~ Li Wenqiang, how did you guess it? You guessed it so accurately!"

Elena pretended to be very excited and looked at him with fiery eyes.

"Because my home is near the Soviet embassy, ​​I often see people from your country when I pass by. I wonder if you work at the embassy, ​​Miss Elena?"

Li Wenqiang asked with pretended curiosity.

"I don't have that ability. I'm just Xueru's business partner. We're just doing business together!"

Elena seemed very happy to communicate with Li Wenqiang and told him about her business without hiding anything.

"I see! That's really impressive. You two beautiful ladies are able to engage in such a competitive trade. You have surpassed most men. Come, let's toast to these two businesswomen!"

Li Wenqiang raised the wine glass in his hand with a smile.

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

The two women were also happy to drink with him. Just like men look at women, women who see equally handsome men will also want to possess him. This is human nature.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be news in the future about a young and beautiful girl using ethanol to knock out a handsome boy in the middle of the night and then assault him. So there is not much difference between the desires of men and women.

The taste of beer is somewhat different from that of later generations, but the mouthfeel is similar. Li Wenqiang took a casual sip, while the two women drank it all in one gulp.

"You can drink a lot! I didn't expect you two to be so good at drinking! Women are just as good as men!"

Li Wenqiang applauded the two of them. This scene made the men around him feel even more uncomfortable, and they kept calling him a pretty boy in their hearts.

You have to know that Chen Xueru is the undisputed most beautiful girl in their tavern. Just watching them chatting like that, I wonder how many people's hearts were broken.

Although Chen Xueru is divorced and has a child, her family's business is booming, and she is one of the most famous female bosses in the area. In particular, she has a charming figure and beautiful face. I don't know how many people are thinking about her, and many people are jealous.

"Of course, we women are no worse than men. Mr. Li, where are you from and what do you do?"

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes and asked curiously.

"Oh~ I live in Nanluoguxiang, Dongcheng District. I'm planning to do business now and I'm just about to talk to the boss here, Xu Huizhen!"

Li Wenqiang spoke seemingly casually, but his eyes were fixed on Chen Xueru's expression.

"Oh~ Really? You know Xu Huizhen? I haven't seen you before. I wonder what kind of business you want to do with her? Why don't we talk about it? Maybe I can do it too!"

When Chen Xueru heard that it was related to Xu Huizhen, she immediately started to intercept.

"It's a small business, not worth mentioning, but I just heard Miss Elena say that you two are doing business together, right? I have a product, I wonder if we can do it together?"

Li Wenqiang finally turned the topic to his medicinal wine, which was his ultimate goal.

He and Xu Huizhen only made a few bucks doing the vegetable business, even if he worked slowly, he could only make a few dozen yuan a day, and he had to run back and forth every day. If he succeeded in the medicinal wine business, it would be a big order of at least tens of millions, which would not only make more money than selling vegetables, but it would also be much safer.

"Really? What kind of business do you want to do with us?"

Chen Xueru didn't expect that Li Wenqiang would actually want to do business with them, but when she saw Li Wenqiang's face, she was also very interested in having more contact with him.

"What do you want to do with us?"

Elena also looked at him very curiously. This was the first time someone took the initiative to look for her, which made her very curious.

"Wait, I'll go get the stuff!"

Li Wenqiang said hello to them and walked out. He found a dark corner where no one was around, took out three different sizes of wine, and took away his tricycle, which really damaged his image.

"What is this? Wine?"

Chen Xueru asked as she looked at Li Wenqiang who came in, with some curiosity in her eyes. She herself was a wine lover, otherwise she wouldn't have stayed in Xu Huizhen's tavern.

"That's right, but it seems a bit inappropriate to discuss business here, right?"

Li Wenqiang looked around and said.

"That's easy. Just go to my house! My house is nearby. Do you mind?"

Chen Xueru stood up and invited him.

"Mr. Li, I'm also very curious about what the wine in your arms tastes like. Can I taste it?"

Elena also invited him enthusiastically, looking at Li Wenqiang expectantly, as if she was afraid that he would refuse.

"Okay then! But first, let me make it clear that this wine of mine is not ordinary, you can't just drink it casually!"

Li Wenqiang greeted them in advance to prevent them from thinking that he had any ill intentions.

"It's okay. Let me try it later to see how special your wine is. Let's go!"

After Chen Xueru finished speaking, she left. Seeing this, Li Wenqiang hurriedly followed her, while Elena followed beside him with a smile.

"Boss Chen brought that pretty boy home now? I'm afraid someone might get killed tonight."

Someone was muttering there, and Xu Huizhen happened to come out.

"What are you talking about? What kind of death is involved?"

"Huizhen, someone just came to do business with you. It's the guy who gave Fan Jinyou to that guy a few days ago. He was taken away by Chen Xueru!"

Zhao Yali hurriedly told her the truth, fearing that she would be tricked by Chen Xueru. Everyone has known the relationship between the two for so many years, they are just a pair of enemies.

"Is it him? Just take him away! We just need to do our job! Quickly clean up the table and make room for him!"

Xu Huizhen racked her brains but couldn't figure out why Li Wenqiang wanted to see her!
