Sumu wood in the quadrangle welcomes spring

Chapter 86
In fact, Chen Dakui has never been stupid, let alone as reckless as he imagined.

But sometimes it's easier to play the fool, and you can get more food and drinks.

After witnessing Su Mu's trajectory today, he suddenly felt that besides himself, Su Mu also had a disguise.

He is not as harmless as he appears on the surface.

Is it harmless to humans and animals?
Chen Dakui touched his face subconsciously.

The force was so fierce that even thinking about it still scares Chen Dakui out of his sleep.

As the saying goes, the brave are afraid of the stunned, and the stunned are afraid of risking their lives.

That time, what Su Mu showed was to risk his life for his life.

Being slapped on the back of the head, I was stunned but didn't let go.

It was only after that time that Chen Dakui discovered that he thought he would not be afraid of death, but in fact it was all an illusion.

He dared to fight and charge, but in fact, he was afraid of death.

Scared to death.

Looking at Su Mu's retreating figure, he did not follow him.

If he hadn't just come out of the courtyard and wasn't too far from the woods, Chen Dakui would have lost him.

Now that Su Mu was pedaling the cart, Chen Dakui was determined to be unable to catch up.

Simply gave up.

Chen Dakui returned to the courtyard.

When I entered the house, I turned my head and glanced at the middle courtyard.

From the door of his house, you can easily see the lively atmosphere conveyed by the dim lights of Jia's house.

It is very different from the deserted situation at home.

"Dakui, the rice is simmering in the pot. Go scoop it out yourself."

"understood."

Chen Dakui replied in a muffled voice.

At this time, he was worried.

Now that you have discovered some secrets of Sumu, what should you do better next?
He had to think about it.

As soon as he lay down on his bed, Chen Dakui stared at the roof and fell into silence.

Mrs. Chen Liu was absent-mindedly busy with her work.

She was not surprised that her son was always so taciturn.

Moreover, I went to see Chen Guorong on Monday and found out that he was having a hard time there, and I felt unhappy.

Every day I always think of the bruise on the corner of his mouth, feeling distressed and helpless.

So I was very irritable these two days.

In the dim lights of Chen's house, the atmosphere was cold and depressing.

Su Mu went to the tavern today and was pulled into a conversation by Manager Cai.

Also asked about the wine supply.

This is the topic that the tavern is most concerned about.

"Uncle Niu said that he would search the surrounding workshops and collect old wines. If there is new wine, don't expect it this time. But it will definitely not cut off our supply."

The last sentence was not said by Uncle Niu.

It was Sumu's own confidence.

According to the previous sales volume of the tavern, there is no problem in supplying it for another seven or eight months.

You must know that the money that came from the grain station and a large part of Xiaoshi's sumu income were all exchanged for wine.

This does not include Uncle Niu’s next search for aged wine within a radius of dozens of miles.

I originally planned to discuss it with Manager Cai and Mrs. Xu of the tavern.

Now that I have another windfall and sufficient funds, I don’t need it anymore.

Thinking of the windfall, Su Mu suddenly had the urge to visit that family.

His behavior can be described as standard to alert the snake.

I really want to see how the other party will react later.

"Sit down and rest for a while, and I'll give you two ounces of wine."

Manager Cai couldn't help but push Su Mu onto the table next to the bar.Opposite are a pair of old men pouring themselves a drink.

One is an old man who plays film in the open space diagonally opposite. He is familiar with this area, so he is right to call him "Pian'er Ye".

At first, he made a living by fooling children with kaleidoscopes, but he was good at making up stories. Later, he accidentally became the public manager of Dashanlan Silk and Satin Factory. When he reached the end of middle age, he was lucky enough to reach a higher level.

Sitting across from him was Uncle Geng's neighbor, Mr. Niu.

Su Mu's job was to say hello to Master Niu. Manager Cai asked Uncle Geng, and Uncle Geng gave it to Su Mu.

This relationship seems simple, but in fact it is quite complicated.

Niu Ye belongs to the old and the young, and he has a carpentry skill, but it was just a hobby in the beginning.

There is no need to use it to work as a businessman.

It is said that there are many good things in the house. Nowadays, most of the things in the house can be supported by selling off the things in the house.

In the early years, a certain type of people were maintained by the Qing government, and they had their own hobbies when they had nothing to do.

Fighting crickets and walking birds are all basic operations.

If you want to spend a lot of leisurely days, you have to have a hobby to occupy yourself.

So many people have various hobbies.

Some like to play and sing, some like martial arts and sword dancing, and some like juggling magic...

Mr. Niu likes to be a carpenter, which is the same hobby as a certain emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

There are also those who are greedy. Because they like to eat, their hobby is to study cooking skills. They learned the expert Tan's cuisine from their own cooks, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, they naturally became chefs.

Later, it was announced that he had eloped with a young widow named Bai...

Of course, Su Mu doesn't know about these things, and Mr. Niu may know about them, but there are unwritten rules in other people's circles, and such topics will never be discussed with outsiders.

Su Mu has already started drinking, and her resistance to alcohol is no longer so strong.

Besides, I made another small profit today, so I would like to celebrate with a drink.

Manager Cai brought a bottle of wine to Su Mu.

One pot and two taels.

It's not that Manager Cai is reluctant to ask him to drink more, but he is worried that Su Mu is young and drinking too much will be bad.

"Brother Cai, since we happen to be sharing the same table with Master Niu and Master Pian'er, could you please bring us two more plates of side dishes to share with us."

"Come on, Mr. Niu, I can take advantage of you today."

Master Pian'er said with a smile.

Sumu's situation has always been within the scope of their reserve of snacks.

But he has always been a representative of positive energy.

His life experience is miserable, but the young man endures hardships and endures hardships.

Some time ago, it was also reported that his father and eldest brother returned to their hometown honorably and were still fighting heroes.

But at that time, Su Mu had already made a legitimate living through hard work.

Manager Cai can personally confirm that Sumu's truck has been settled.

The trolley thing is not a secret among the regular customers of the tavern, so the fact that Mr. Niu is the introducer is well known to the regular customers.

Su Mu was on the right track, and everyone knew it with just a few words.

Pian'er Ye is also interesting. He points out the topic in one sentence, which not only completes the atmosphere and explains, but also helps Su Mu point out Niu Ye.

It can be regarded as a little compensation for the subsequent drinking of Sumu's wine.

Having come and gone to this extent, I have to say that it is not easy for people to get even a little bit of attention in this era.

Su Mu cupped his hands and cupped his hands towards Mr. Pian'er.

It's a thank you.

The next step is naturally to drink wine and listen to others chatting.

"To say that the capital is restricting food at this time, someone else said...didn't you see that there were lines of people waiting for food at the entrance of the restaurant canteen at that time?"

"No, when Hebei and Shanxi both had food restrictions, not only our canteens and restaurants in the capital were restricted, but how many people came from other places, queuing up all day long to wait for three meals a day..."

Therefore, it is a helpless move for the capital to limit food supply.

Su Mu got confirmation from another direction, and his affection for places like taverns inevitably increased.

There were no news broadcasts in this era, so the best place to learn about timely news and expand your ideas was in a tavern.
