A layman in the courtyard

Chapter 40 Daqianmen Tavern
After checking that it was still early, Cao Zhihua remembered the Daqianmen Bistro he had seen before.

There was a person there whom I wanted to make friends with, so I pushed my bicycle out and rode towards Zhengyangmen.

When we arrived at Daqianmen Bistro, the bistro business was already booming.

Cao Zhihua looked left and right, and happened to see that there was still another seat at the table where Mr. Niu was sitting.He walked over and said to Mr. Niu:

"Hello, I looked around and there is an empty seat right here for you. Is it convenient for us to get a table?"

"Hey, if it's any inconvenience, please sit down."

After hearing this, Cao Zhihua raised his thumb

"Yes, this is yours"

After speaking, Cao Zhihua came to the counter,
"Lady boss, give me half a catty of wine, one pickle, and a small belly."

"Okay, please take it, it's 4 cents and 5 cents in total."

Cao Zhihua paid the money, put the wine and plate on the table, picked up the wine and poured a glass for Mr. Niu first.
"Master, thank you for giving up your seat. I'll buy you a drink."

"Hey, you're so polite."

Cao Zhihua had just finished serving the wine and before he started drinking, he saw Chen Xueru coming in.

"Huizhen, Huizhen, look who I brought to you?"

Cao Zhihua stood up and looked around along with the others, and saw a man and a woman from Mao Xiong's family walking in with her.

People in the tavern were booing,
"Hey, Mr. Davari, Comrade Mao Xiong."

Seeing these two men and women from the Mao Xiong family, Cao Zhihua finally understood where the plot of the little woman was going.

Seeing the two-haired bears greeting Teacher Xu very skillfully, Mr. Pian'er next to him said

"Listen, listen, sir is sir, there are so many names like Dili Dulu, just open your mouth."

Teacher Xu and the female bear hugged each other.

Now the tavern was in a state of chaos, and everyone was booing.
"Oh, I didn't see it, I didn't see it."

Cao Zhihua described Chen Xueru sneaking up to Xu Huizhen and said to Xu Huizhen
"Huizhen, I heard that you are now the shopkeeper, so I specially invited Big Brother Furry Bear to support you."

Xu Huizhen is smiling
"Thank you, Sister Xueru. What would you like to drink?"

"Of course it's white. You just took over. I don't know. Your dad knows that I only drink white."

"These two furry bear brothers are drinking beer."

Cao Zhihua saw the two women meditating there, so he didn't pay too much attention. He focused mainly on making friends with Mr. Niu.

"Uncle, what is your surname? How should I call you now?"

"Hey, just teach me Master Niu. Here, call me that."

After saying that, he pointed at Mr. Pian'er next to him.

"You can just call me Mr. Pian'er. He lives in this mess."

"Hi, Master Niu, hello Master Pian'er. Come, let me toast you."

"Okay, let's go together."

Cao Zhihua and Niu Ye were having a lively drinking session when Chen Xueru took the wine and sat directly at her table.

Cao Zhihua pursed his lips, feeling that the wine had little effect on him.

Then looking at this charming wife, I saw her sitting down and started shouting,
"From now on, we have to set a rule. From now on, those who only drink wine and don't eat vegetables have to squat against the wall like Wo Bo'er."

After saying that, good guys, the few drinking men around me took the jugs and walked away.

Cao Zhihua then heard Big Brother Mao Xiong asking Xu Huizhen whether the bistro should also be a public-private partnership.

When Mr. Niu next to him heard this, he said to Chen Xueru next to him:
"Hey, this Davari also knows about public-private partnerships." Chen Xueru shook her head while holding the wine glass.
"They don't know anything. The Soviets even know how much a foot of Suzhou silk in my satin shop costs, and they will never use silk as diapers."

Everyone burst into laughter when Chen Xueru said this. After laughing, Mr. Niu said to Xu Huizhen:
"Shopkeeper, you really need to know this. Public-private partnership is our socialism. It's not like capitalism. There can't be self-employment. So, what should I do? The public has to take over you."

Fan Jinyou, who was at the table next to him, heard what Master Niu said and slapped his chopsticks on the table.
"Bullshit."

When Master Niu saw it was Fan Jinyou, he hurriedly said

"Okay, Cadre Fan is here. Cadre Fan, I have to admit my mistake today. Why did I forget that the street cadre is here."

Teacher Xu opposite took over what Master Niu said.
"It's okay if you forget. We don't feel ashamed to ask. We can just ask for advice."

Then Teacher Xu turned his head and said to Fan Jinyou
"Fan Jin, please tell me."

Fan Jin is not happy about this.
"I'll say it if you ask me to, but I won't say it."

Then Fan Jinyou looked towards Xu Huizhen and faced Xu Huizhen

"Boss Huizhen, do you want to hear it?"

Fan Jinyou saw that Xu Huizhen ignored him and continued with a shy face.

"Oh, I'm not talking, I just want to listen."

"Then let me tell you, this public-private partnership uses socialist elements to occupy the capitalist field, just like Boss Huizhen."

Xu Huizhen interrupted
"Xu Huizhen"

Fan Jinyou is not angry either

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, Xu Huizhen, and Chen Xueru, you are all left over from the old society, individual small economic elements of capitalism. Our national policy is to utilize, restrict, and transform, not to accept. This It’s called the redemption policy.”

Fan Jin pretended to be loud now, shook his head and stood up and continued.
"I'm also telling you, regardless of these small capitalist factories, large commercial companies and countries still adopt the redemption policy."

As he said this, Fan Youjin said to Mr. Niu in a single line:

"Master Niu, you just opened your mouth to accept it and occupied it. You co-authored it when your bannermen entered Beijing."

At this moment, Mr. Niu was being talked about by Fan Jinyou and kept clasping his hands and bowing.Fan Jinyou continued

"None of this is right. From now on, what you say can be said in the tavern, and everyone should listen. Don't go out and say it. If you are caught, you will have to use reactionary remarks."

When Mr. Niu heard this, he was extremely nervous and responded immediately.
"Okay, hey, Mr. Niu admits his defeat. Today he has fallen into the hands of Cadre Fan."

Xu Huizhen took the topic and asked directly
"So Cadre Fan, do you have to do all that?"

Fan Youjin replied
"Everything has to be done, but this thing needs to be carried out in stages and requires a process. You people must know how good this policy is when it is implemented. Think about it, the state will pay you and let you You can make money by running your own tavern, and then your identity will change and you will become a working people. Do you want to do that?"

Xu Huizhen took out a glass of wine and handed it to Fan Jinyou

"Thank you, this is for you"

Fan Jinyou quickly stopped him.
"Oh, don't worry, don't worry, this is capitalist thinking."

Xu Huizhen looked at Fan Jinyou in surprise

Did Fan Jin pay attention and continued?

"I, a cadre of the new era, come to this private pub to drink. This is called lowering the grassroots level. We must not eat and drink for free."

Fan Jinyou suddenly faced the Soviet Big Brother

"Oh, am I right, Big Brother?"

The Soviet Big Brother raised his thumb,

“Exactly right, no problem at all”
