Siheyuan: Starting from a fitter

Chapter 247 Tai Lung Fung Bar
July and August in Xiangjiang are the peak summer months, and the temperature at night is still relatively high.The sky is still very bright at night, because it gets dark relatively late in this season, and the sunset is around 7-8 o'clock.

The high-rise buildings on Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula are still lit up at night, creating a famous city night scene.

In the summer, evaporation from the ocean and wetlands increases the humidity of the air, making it feel damp at night.But the sea breeze will bring some coolness, making people feel relatively comfortable.

Li Guocheng came out of his home and walked along the street without driving.

The excitement of the night market and the different delicacies kept him lingering, so he bought some and tasted them while walking.

Passing street parks hold open-air concerts and fireworks displays, which liven up the city and add to the vibrant colors of the natural beauty at night.

Although the temperature is high at night, Li Guocheng feels the vibrant and unique charm of the city.

People on the roadside like to have an endless night in this season, talk and take stock, and enjoy the enjoyment and happiness brought by the exciting night and beautiful scenery together.

It’s as if last year’s stock market crash and this year’s property market have disappeared overnight, and everyone is back on track with life.

Of course, in places where the street lights can't shine, you can still see some people carrying cloth bags and walking slowly forward with hunched waists. They don't need to raise their heads to know that there is still darkness ahead.

With a novel feeling, he walked all the way to Brother Kun's bar, which is located in the bar street of Tsim Sha Tsui.

In Hong Kong in the 70s, bar culture was on the rise.Many bars are concentrated in prosperous areas such as Tsim Sha Tsui, Causeway Bay, Sai Wan, Wan Chai and Central.

Among them, Tsim Sha Tsui is known as one of the richest areas in Hong Kong. It has many high-end bars and fashionable nightclubs, attracting a large number of young people.

Causeway Bay was also a popular area, famous for its shopping malls, cinemas and art exhibition plazas, which contributed a lot to the fashion culture of the time.

The bar culture in Sai Wan and Wan Chai originated from sailors and traditional worker groups. These areas are mainly dominated by small bars and private clubs.

And Central is the administrative and commercial center of Xiangjiang, with many high-end hotels and top bars.

In the 70s, Tsim Sha Tsui's bar culture was at its peak, and its appearance presented an ancient and charming style.These bars are usually located on street corners or in small alleys. They don't look very impressive, but they exude a deep charm.

It is now past 9 o'clock, and the street lights on both sides are on. The streets are full of bustling young people, shouting and hugging each other, and the streets are extremely hot.

There are a large number of beauties, dressed coolly, and some boldly expose large areas of snow-white.When the young man coming from the opposite side whistled, he didn't think so, and instead started giggling.

Li Guocheng knew that since these bold girls dared to show off here, they all had profound backgrounds, so those young talents did not dare to be too presumptuous.

Looking at the bar named Tai Lung Fung in front of him, Li Guocheng knew that this was the bar he would frequent in the future.

Looking from the outside, one wall is a dark slate or red brick, with menus posted on the wall that advertise the branding and exquisite lighting.

There are some neon lights and iconic signs hanging at the entrances of these bars, so passersby can tell which bar this is at a glance.

At this moment, I saw Brother Kun sitting at the door of the bar chatting with two cool little girls, his eyes glancing at the pedestrians on the street from time to time.

When he saw Li Guocheng appearing in front of him, he even jumped down.

"Oh, how did you get here? Is it drifting?"

Brother Kun pushed the two girls away, walked towards Li Guocheng with a laugh, and gave him a bear hug.

"Let's go in and chat," he said, leaning sideways.

Inside the bar, the decor is simple and comfortable, with discrete and subtle lighting that once again emphasizes the depth and splendor of its own character.

The long, narrow and slightly crowded space echoes with soft yet domineering music, making people feel dreamy and comfortable.Very short tables and chairs complement tablecloths covered in white linens.

There is a wooden bar counter in the center of the bar, with all kinds of expensive wine bottles on the back. A smiling bartender skillfully pours the drinks into the cups and is tailor-made for the customers in front of them. Fine wine.

There is a small stage 1 meter above the ground in the innermost place, with only simple facilities, a small piano, a bass guitar and a drum set.

In addition, there are some small musical instruments, such as harmonicas, bagpipes, etc., used as condiments, which are placed on the small cabinet next to them.

At this time, a girl dressed in red was singing the Cantonese version of "A Thousand Words" by Taiwanese singer Teresa Teng.

The song describes a person's psychological feelings about the lie of "vowed love".There are a lot of words and oaths that have been said before, but in the end all that is left is my own melancholy and sadness.

Li Guocheng didn't move where he stood, and Brother Kun didn't urge him, just stood aside with a smile.

When the song ended, there were bursts of applause from all around.The singer bent down and bowed in thanks, looking fair and frank.

Li Guocheng's feeling was just average, with too many traces of imitation.

The singer had already seen the boss standing under the stage, seeming to be very serious and smiling.After giving thanks, he happily ran down the stairs from the stage.

"Brother Kun, you came to listen to me sing, thank you."I don't know whether it was because of heat or excitement, but his face was covered with sweat, and the smell of dust made Li Guocheng take a step back.

Brother Kun looked at the singer who suddenly appeared in front of him and was stunned for a moment.Then he said with a smile: "Ani, you sing well, keep up your hard work", turned around and looked at Li Guocheng, "he will be your colleague from now on, please take good care of him".

Ani glanced sideways at Li Guocheng, then looked at Brother Kun enthusiastically, "Don't worry, I will definitely work hard."

Li Guocheng said nothing and turned around and walked towards the empty table. Brother Kun quickly followed and sat down.The singer who stayed where he was did not know where to go.

Fortunately, a "Do it again" saved her from the embarrassment and turned back to the stage.

A young man in uniform had already brought two glasses of boiled water and placed them in front of the two of them.

"Thank you, Ah Qiang."

The young man smiled, bent slightly, and walked away quietly.

"Nice lad."

"That's right. An old brother's posthumous son, named Wen Zhiqiang, has been following me and is helping me look after this place. In the future, if I am not here, he will make arrangements."

"Thanks, Brother Kun."

Perhaps due to the influence of the episode just now, the female singer sang even worse, but there was still a burst of cheers from around her.

At this time, people from Hong Kong who could only sing English songs were fascinated by Cantonese songs performed in their own language, so they were so tolerant.
