In the tavern.
The man who called himself Lord Bull left.
It was early in the morning. Other than drunkards, not many people came to drink.
In the room, there was only Old He who was settling accounts at the counter, Xu Huizhen who was busy wiping the tables and chairs, and Li Wen who was sitting in the corner.
Old He finished calculating the bill and looked at the side dishes in the cabinet. When he realized that there were no pickled vegetables, he looked up at Xu Huizhen, who was busy, and said,"Huizhen, go to the backyard and see if the pickled vegetables are ready. If they are, remember to bring a basin over.”
"Alright, Uncle He." Xu Huizhen nodded. After wringing the towel dry, she picked up the basin and prepared to walk to the backyard.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Li Wen sitting there motionlessly. He even said something about coming in to drink. He had sat there for so long without buying anything. She didn't know why Uncle He still let him stay.
Recalling the other party's frivolous gaze from before, Xu Huizhen snorted coldly, pulled open the curtain that led to the backyard, and went straight out.
Seeing that his future daughter-in-law had left, Old He looked at Li Wen, who was sitting there motionlessly. After thinking for a moment, he took out two taels of wine from the wine jar and a small plate of peanuts before walking over.
"Young man, you haven't recovered yet? Why don't you drink some wine to warm up your body?”
"Ah?"
Hearing the voice, Li Wen came back to his senses and saw the old man holding a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts. He said in astonishment,"I haven't ordered anything yet."
"It's okay. It's my treat."
"Invite me? You don't want to charge me?"
"Yes, I won't charge you." Old He smiled and put the things in his hands on the table. He turned around and walked back to the counter.
Seeing that the old man had really left, Li Wen looked at the wine and then at the peanuts. He was not interested in drinking, but the peanuts were not bad. After drinking so much yesterday, he woke up in the 1950s. His stomach was already drumming with hunger.
Seeing that there were peanuts to eat, Li Wen hesitated for a few seconds, but he did not refuse. He picked up his chopsticks and stuffed a peanut into his mouth.
After chewing a few mouthfuls, Li Wen frowned.
The taste was average, not as crispy as the fried peanuts later on. It must have been the last night's stock, and it might have not been fried with too much oil, so the taste was average.
Not far away, Old He, who was at the counter, watched the young man eat the peanuts. From time to time, he frowned and revealed a thought-provoking smile.
Treat me to drinks and peanuts? If Master Bull saw this, he would probably exclaim,"Something's wrong!"”
Everyone in Dazhalan knew that Old He was famous for being stingy.
Back when the Japanese invaded, Old He dared to use fake wine to fool the Japanese and was even beaten up for it. How could he treat people to a drink for no reason now?
Of course, there were exceptions to everything.
Who was Old He? He had been the shopkeeper of a small tavern for more than 40 years. His ancestors had been running a tavern in Dazhalan since the Qing Dynasty. It had been passed down to the fifth generation.
Old He, who had grown up in a complicated environment like a tavern, had developed a pair of shrewd eyes and knew how to read people!
In addition, Old Man He had already seen through Li Wen's clothes that Li Wen's family background was not ordinary. Therefore, when Li Wen sat in the tavern and did not order anything for a long time, instead, he stood there in a daze. He guessed that Li Wen might have lost his money.
How could Old He let go of such a good opportunity?
Back in the Republic of China, there was a rich man from the Qing Dynasty who came here to drink because he didn't bring money. At that time, Old He's father didn't let him go.
It was Old Man He who made the transfer and asked the man to go home to get the money before letting him go.
After a few days, that person still didn't come back. Old He's father beat him up angrily.
But who knew that on the second day after the beating, that person would come back. Not only did he pay the money, but he also gave Old He a piece of good jade.
This gave Old He a taste of sweetness. From then on, he often didn't accept money from those who looked rich, but he was stingy with ordinary customers.
In the long run, although he had the nickname of Old He, he had also accumulated a lot of connections.
It was just like Old Bull from before. It was said that his ancestor was a Baylor. However, after the Republic of China, his family had fallen a lot. However, a skinny camel was still bigger than a horse. He still had a lot of treasures at home.
……
Old He was still wondering if he should ask the servants to send more money over when he returned.
Li Wen was eating peanuts while thinking about the Super Spirit Spring Space in his mind.”
After such a long time, although he did not enter the interior of the spiritual spring space, he knew from the system's introduction that this super spiritual spring space was actually a grotto-heaven similar to the fantasy world.
It was just that it was not as magical as the fantasy novels described.
There was a circular plot of land with a spring in the middle. After drinking the spring water, not only would one be energized, but it would also strengthen one's body. If it was used to irrigate crops, only a little bit would be needed to accelerate the growth of plants.
In general, it was similar to the descriptions in some novels that Li Wen had read, but it did not have the function of continuously expanding the space.
In other words, 10 Mu of land was still 10 Mu of land and could no longer be expanded.
However, Li Wen was already very satisfied with this.
One had to know that ten acres of land was not small. It could grow a lot of food. In addition, there was a spiritual spring. It was believed that in the 1950s, when there was a lack of food and clothing, it was enough for Li Wen to eat, drink, and pee.
"Xu Huizhen! Xu Huizhen!"
Just as Li Wen was thinking about how he should settle down in the 1950s, the door of the tavern was lifted, and a young girl of 17 or 18 years old with long black hair and wearing flowery silk strode in.
This girl was very beautiful. Her skin was fair and rosy. One look and one could tell that she was a pampered young lady.
When Old He saw who it was, he raised his eyebrows but didn't say anything.
He recognized who it was.
Chen Xueru, the only daughter of the owner of Chen's satin store.
In the backyard, Xu Huizhen came in with a pot of pickled vegetables. She lifted the curtain at the back door of the tavern and looked out. Her expression changed for a moment, then she revealed a bright smile and said,"I was wondering who was making a ruckus so early in the morning. So it's you, Chen Xueru.”
Xu Huizhen?
Chen Xueru?
Li Wen was stunned when he heard these two names.
Looking at the two of them carefully, they looked like the two female leads in the TV series in his memory. He actually had a 70 - 80% resemblance to them.
Damn it!
No way!
Did I transmigrate to the world of " Little Woman at Zhengyang Gate "?
