Zhang Weiguo’s tiger bone wine has been brewing for more than a year.

It’s okay to drink now, but Zhang Weiguo is not that keen on drinking.

People at this age, regardless of age, like to drink a little.

The most common thing is to drink some to relieve fatigue.

In this era, we all do physical work, and drinking a little can really help us relax.

You're like a fool, drinking every night.

Xu Damao and Second Uncle also want to drink. When they drink, they not only have certain requirements for the wine, but also for the side dishes.

For Shazhu to drink, a plate of peanuts is enough.

When the second uncle drinks, he must have a fried egg.

Xu Damao drinks, so he has to cook at least two dishes, and it would be even better if there were meat dishes.

When the Third Uncle drinks, the requirements are lower. The wine he drinks is loose liquor diluted with water.

We were originally drinking the cheapest liquor, and it tasted even worse when it was mixed with water.

Zhang Weiguo couldn't get used to drinking this kind of liquor diluted with water.

The food is even simpler. Uncle San Ye can have a meal with a plate of pickles.

At this time, there were many taverns in the old city.

You can see all kinds of people in a tavern. Zhang Weiguo has been to a tavern once.

In the tavern, Zhang Weiguo saw other people's side dish, which was a peanut.

That's right, a peanut.

You say that a peanut is something you can just eat in one bite, so how can it be used as a snack?

That's something you haven't seen.

Nowadays, when people drink, they eat pork head, smashed cucumber and fried peanuts as side dishes.

These are the most common side dishes.

If you were to live in this era, these side dishes would be considered luxuries and you couldn't afford them at all.

It would be nice to have some peanuts to go with the wine.

And they are raw peanuts, it is impossible to fry them.

Order a glass of wine in the tavern and find an empty seat to sit down.

Ask the tavern for a small butterfly, the kind made of black pottery.

Place the peanuts on a small plate.

Just pinch it with your fingernails and eat it.

Just to get a taste of it.

One peanut can equal a meal of wine.

The tavern is busiest in the evening, and you can meet all kinds of people here.

Some people were chatting together, while others were sitting in a corner drinking alone.

Most people's snack to go with alcohol is just a small piece of pickled vegetable.

When drinking in a tavern, ask for a small dish, put the pickles in a small dish, use a small knife to cut the pickles into several pieces, and drink with these pieces of pickles.

There is an unwritten rule for people who drink here, which is that they cannot borrow snacks from others.

Of course, if someone gives it to you voluntarily, that doesn’t count.

If you see that other people’s appetizers are good, you should order some too.

If you have any snacks to go with the wine, you can eat them. If not, you don’t have to eat them.

If you don't have it with you, you can buy it from the tavern.

The side dishes in the tavern include pickles, fried peanuts, and fried soybeans.

Sometimes there are also radishes.

As for things like pig's head, that's not available in the tavern.

Generally, no one in the tavern can afford to eat pork.

Most people drink cheap loose liquor.

There is also good wine in the tavern. How could a place dedicated to selling wine not have good wine?

These places have generally been open for many years.

Some of them started during the Republic of China period.

At that time, there were many storytellers who would tell stories in pubs and teahouses.

Everyone who listens to books here will order a cup of tea or a glass of wine.

Of course, storytelling usually takes place in teahouses.

Some unknown people can't even get a table in the teahouse, but they also have to make a living.

They went to the tavern to tell stories.

The income in the tavern is not as much as that of the storyteller in the teahouse, but it is enough to support a family.

Some old teahouses still have the tradition of storytelling.

People who go to teahouses to drink tea also go there to listen to storytelling.

I just need a pot of tea and a stack of peanuts and sunflower seeds, and I can listen for an entire afternoon.

There are also some famous Peking Opera artists who perform in teahouses.

Teahouses are different from pubs. People who go to teahouses are rich people. They go to teahouses for entertainment, not to drink a cup of tea. You can drink a cup of tea anywhere.

But people who go to the pub are different. Those who go to the tavern are all poor people. They go to the pub just to have a drink.

In the tavern, you can hear all kinds of gossip, whether true or false, because it is the most informed place.

Which place has some profitable work, and which person has some accident.

Which little widow is pretty?

You can hear it in the tavern.

Some people would not sit in the tavern, order two taels of wine, and drink it in one gulp from the bowl.

Just go straight away and don't stop at the tavern.

There are many people like this, all of whom come here to drink this glass of wine.

Some people can sit in a tavern for an entire afternoon with two glasses of wine.

Chat with all kinds of people and you will know everything.

There is a type of people who are absolutely well-informed and their sources of information are reliable, and most of the things they tell are true.

But if you want to hear his stories, you have to buy him a drink.

You can see a group of people gathered around one person in a tavern, listening to that person tell stories.

When it comes to the critical moment, I will stop and stop talking.

At this time, someone would shout, "Waiter, give me two ounces of wine."

When the waiter brought the wine, the man took a sip.

I will continue to talk about it.

This kind of person has great eloquence, comparable to storytellers.

When such a person tells stories, they are witty and humorous, and many people are willing to listen to him.

I am also willing to buy them a drink.

Such a person can get along well in the tavern and many people know him.

When he went to the tavern, he never had to pay for his own drinks.

There would always be someone to invite him to drink, and his stories were rich and colorful, always fresh.

You can't tell the same story for your entire life. If you tell a story, people will already be familiar with it and it will no longer be appealing, and they will no longer buy wine for you.

They are regular customers of the tavern, and they won't charge you money. You just have to wait until they finish their drink and then buy them a glass of wine.

People like this are really something, and their lives are quite exciting.

It can be said that I have experienced all kinds of life.

Not for money, just for a sip of wine.

Not every tavern has such people. If you want to meet them, it depends on fate.

They don't drink every day.

After a drink, they can stay away from the tavern for several days.

When you come to the pub, you have to drink enough.

The last time Zhang Weiguo went to the tavern, he didn't meet such a person.

Zhang Weiguo still hopes to meet such a person and hear many interesting things.

Some of them are things they experienced personally, and some are things they heard, which they processed and adapted.
