Chapter 14 barmaid

The taverns are also divided into three, six, and nine classes.The tavern on Shoushan Street must be considered the last one.No pretense, no brand name, no seats in the house; no vegetables are sold on the counter, only a tank of wine is placed.Those who come to drink are all low-level people who work hard, pull carts and do coolies.Some hold a piece of sauced sausage in their hands, and some have a handful of spiced peanuts in their pockets. They have to buy two or three taels when entering the door, and drink alone by leaning against the window sill in the corner.When people are crowded, they will take the wine bowl to the outside of the door, stand against a tree, and pour the wine into their mouths little by little.

This tavern only sells one kind of wine, which is made from dried sweet potatoes. It is cheap and tastes great.The cats raised in Shoushan Street are never lost. If they get lost, they will find them by following the smell of alcohol.This wine is not about the aftertaste, but about the punch, the mouth is better than the water, you have to swallow it quickly, otherwise it will burn your tongue, mouth, teeth and throat.But as soon as it fell into the belly, he jumped up with his hands and bumped his head straight, feeling dizzy and violent.The kind of firecrackers played in Haosai Da, "cannons and lights", when lit and exploded, red lights shot up into the sky.This wine is called "pao da Deng".Good wine should be warm, thick and long-lasting, never over the top.But the poor men earn their lives for a day, their muscles are weak, and their hearts are depressed. Isn't it just to spend less money, get excited immediately, and indulge in a free and easy way?

If you want to say the most free and easy, it is still a wine woman.At noon every day, this old woman would come to the tavern, her clothes were torn, she looked like a beggar, her hair was messed up, her face was dark, no one could tell her face, let alone her surname, but everyone knew she was this little girl. The number one alcoholic in the tavern, known as the wine woman.As soon as she entered the door, she took out a small boxy cloth bag from her arms as usual, opened the cloth bag, and inside was a newspaper bag, sometimes new and sometimes old; pin; opened the tissue bag again, it turned out that it was only two cents. She put the money on the counter, and the boss handed over half a bowl of "Pao Da Deng" as usual. The wine fell straight down, and Haosai poured it into the barrel.As soon as the woman's feet are out of the threshold, it's like drawing a book on the ground.

She staggered all the way to the north, and walked more than a hundred steps away from the boundary, which was a crossroad, where cars came and went, and accidents often occurred.You don't have to worry about this woman, look at her drunk, but every time you approach the intersection, there will be a thud, and when you wake up, you are better than ordinary people, without the slightest bit of drunkenness, crossing the street smoothly .She does this every day and never fails.People on Shoushan Street love to see the drunken steps of the barmaid——swaying up and down, left and right, spinning happily, like a lotus leaf swinging by the wind; on rainy days, raindrops drench , it is like a big umbrella that slowly rotates... But, why does the wine woman lose her drunkenness as soon as she reaches the intersection?Is it because of "cannon hitting the lamp" with such a little energy, or is it that the barmaid has the superhuman ability to get drunk when she is drunk and wake up when she wakes up?

The secret of wine is still in the wine tank.The boss is raped and mixes the wine with water.Alcoholics see the world in their eyes blurry, but they are clear about the wine in their stomachs, but no one wants to pierce this layer of paper, even if they drink well.The boss is wicked and must be punished. He is close to sixty and has no children. It is likely that he will die.But one day, the proprietress loves hot and sour, and when she was happy, the boss kowtowed to the Buddha, her conscience was moved, and she vowed to be an honest person in the future, sell wine honestly, and never add water to the wine for adulteration.

On this day, the barmaid came to this tavern, and as usual, she took out her bag when entering the door, opened it layer by layer, spent money on wine, raised her hand and raised her neck, and poured the fake "cannon lamp" into her belly Here...the real thing is the real thing.This time, the bartender hadn't even left the house, and people started wandering around.And today she swayed very beautifully along the way, her upper body swayed to the left, and her lower body swayed to the right, turning faster and faster. At first, she was racing against a roc bird in the wind, and later, she was racing against a black whirlpool. Surprised, but also puzzled, before thinking too much, the barmaid had already arrived at the intersection, and she didn't wake up from her drunkenness. For the first time, she wandered onto the main road, and the tragedy below would not be mentioned...

Since then, the wine woman has disappeared on this street.People in the tavern talked about her from time to time.Said that she is really qualified alcoholic.She doesn't drink alcohol, she drank it all in one gulp as usual.In the tavern, there is neither much business nor gossip, pay to drink, and leave after drinking, and never pay on credit.Real alcoholics enjoy themselves and don't disturb others. The boss listened, and suddenly thought, the day when the wine woman had an accident, wasn't it the day when he didn't adulterate the wine?It turned out that the root of the trouble was in himself, so he hesitated, thinking that the truth in this world is really unclear.Is it wrong to lie, or is it wrong to be honest?Otherwise, why have you cheated people with fake wine for decades, but you are safe and sound, and you drink beautifully, but once you get serious, it will be ruined?
