Chapter 250 Sanlitun

After some delay in the hospital, the two of them planned to go out for fun also failed.

However, it cannot be said that there is no harvest. These dozen pounds of food coupons are considered a special commemoration. Zi Qi sorted out the food coupons and asked Fan Wubing, "Let's go to Sanlitun to drink and sing?"

"Okay, what's wrong?" Fan Wubing nodded and agreed.

Sanlitun is located in the east of Chaoyang District and is named after it is three miles away from the inner city. In 1962, the Northern Embassy District was built here, and later a diplomatic apartment group was built. This area gradually developed into an important community for diplomatic personnel in China to live in, shop and foreign affairs activities.

This place is the main nightlife in Beijing. It was originally famous for its auto parts and clothing markets, but later gradually became a bar street. It is adjacent to embassies in dozens of countries including Canada, Australia, France, Belgium, Germany, etc. It is said that more than 40% of the bars in Beijing are gathered within three kilometers around Sanlitun.

The first bar appeared five years ago, and the climate was formed. The most famous one was Sanlitun North Street. Since Sanlitun North Street was adjacent to the largest embassy area in Beijing, foreigners became the longest regular customers of the North Street bar.

In recent years, local white-collar workers, performing artists, and even foreign tourists have become frequent visitors to bar streets. Most of the shops in Sanlitun’s alleys sell some things with ethnic characteristics, which are difficult to find in other places. Men and women who pursue personality like this place. More importantly, the shopping atmosphere here is like the bar street, full of laziness, color and uniqueness.

When the night is dim, the lights are bright and the wine is green, the crowds are bustling, and the lights are filled with light and the hustle and luxury of the metropolis. The Sanlitun Bar Street always gives people the feeling of seeing flowers in the fog, and no one can see its true face clearly.

The north of Bar Street is the Embassy District. Because this street is very famous, some foreign embassies have changed the door number in front of the door from Sanlitun Road to Sanlihe Bar Street. The business hours of Bar Street are from every afternoon to early the next morning.

Every day, many foreigners drive or call here, especially at night, foreigners will come here in groups. Not only foreigners are willing to come here, but many Chinese people also invite customers or friends here and use this place as a place for socializing.

Fan Wubing has never been here before. After all, the bar street here has just risen for a few years. He has often been active in Shanghai before, and he still lacks understanding of Beijing's nightlife.

The two drove to Sanlitun, found a bar under Ziqi's guidance, and then parked the car and took it in.

Fan Wubing took a look at the signboard outside, but it was not a bar, but a bakery. Then he looked at the houses next to him, and there were signboards like pastry roof bakery. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised, wondering if he had gone to the wrong place?

Seeing Fan Wubing’s face full of confusion, Zi Qi introduced, “It was developed here before to be used to make auto parts. Later, because of the poor efficiency, some people started to make bakeries and the business was very good. Some foreigners came to consume. Several merchants around him began to follow the trend when they saw that they had a good idea. Later, many small Western restaurants appeared. However, most of them have become bars. Because they went to the industrial and commercial department to apply for a license, the bars did not give approval, so everyone was selling dog meat with sheep heads on their hands.”

"Oh, so that's what happened." Fan Wubing nodded and suddenly said, "It seems that you are very familiar with this place?"

Ziqi smiled and said, "I used to do a show here specifically for this station, so I have some impressions, because it is very close to the Workers' System. Sometimes when everyone finishes their work, they will come here together to be happy, but there are not many wine bottles here, and everyone is just looking for an atmosphere."

To be honest, the environment here is relatively simple compared to the future. The so-called bar is just a few tables and a bar in the store. Although there are not many wines, there are dozens of them. Fan Wubing noticed that most of the ones above are foreign wine, most of them are beer and some domestic white wine, and some pastry milk tea and other things to eat.

"If I want to say it, it is not as good as the food stall night market in Panshi." Fan Wubing asked for a bottle of Lao Baifen, asked Ziqi for a bottle of beer, then ordered a few pastries, and some things to drink. Then he said to Ziqi, "We can eat a lot, and there are many people. The most important thing is that there is no restrictions and it is more comfortable to drink. If you have the chance, you can go to Panshi for a few days."

"Okay, take me there." Ziqi took a sip of beer, nodded and said to Fan Wubing.

"Cough cough--" Fan Wubing almost choked himself by the white wine after hearing this.

Fan Wubing dared not take Zi Qi back to his home. Even if his family members don’t ask him what was going on, they will at least show him some expression. He doesn’t want to cause trouble.

After a while, there were more guests in the bar.

There are Chinese people and many foreigners of different nationalities. Once there are more people, the atmosphere will be different.

The bar was bustling, and many men and women began to get noisy, and the music in the bar also amplified the sound, so that Fan Wubing now needs to talk and chat with Zi Qi, so the volume needs to be increased a lot.

Fan Wubing looked here. Although the bar is not of high quality, it already has a large user base. However, overall, the quality of service is not high, the consumption level is not high, and the bar is not high, and many nearby bars are even caused by small dilapidated houses. Once an accident occurs, it is easy to get into trouble. Such places still need to be renovated to achieve something.

Sanlitun will definitely make great progress within a few years. Fan Wubing is considering whether to take up the place here and develop a few medium-sized regular bars. I believe the returns will be very good.

As for large bars, he has no interest. After all, the larger the scale, the more constraints he is. As the saying goes, the more people who are involved in the bar circle are not good birds. When the scale is larger, there will be more troubles. The money he earns is not enough to deal with these troubles by himself.

Ziqi was drinking with sunglasses, which looked a bit out of character. However, Fan Wubing turned her head and looked at it and found that there were quite a few people wearing sunglasses. It seemed that many people in the entertainment industry came here, and everyone looked like they were hiding.

"Is there a puppy here in Beijing?" Fan Wubing looked at Zi Qi wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap and felt that she was full of youth and vitality. Thinking of what she had encountered in Shanghai before, she couldn't help but ask.

"Duck?" Zi Qi was stunned for a moment, then understood what he meant and replied with a smile, "It's okay, after all, there are more restrictions in Beijing, and paparazzi can't eat it. However, some scouts sometimes don't understand the situation, which is very annoying."

Star scout? Fan Wubing smiled. There are actually not many so-called real star scouts. Most of them are media who come out to wander around with the star scout's sign, which is commonly known as pimps.

The environment in the embassy area is more complicated, and there are many foreigners, and there are many girls who want to earn extra money. There are also many scouts like me. The bar is also a place they are keen to appear, and the business is pretty good.

Such things often depend on the general environment. For example, when the Asian Games were held in 1990s, the number of foreigners in Beijing suddenly increased a lot. As a result, after the Asian Games were held, the number of AIDS cases in China also increased a lot, most of which were secondary infections. After checking the source, they were all on those young and beautiful girls. If they were to investigate them in depth, they would affect Sino-Gentian diplomatic relations.

"Do you have something else to eat? I'll have the energy to sing later-" Fan Wubing and Ziqi drank for a while, and saw that her face was a little rosy, he suggested.

For girls, drinking some alcohol occasionally is not a bad thing, especially after drinking, you need to evaporate the effect of alcohol through intense and a little activity, so that you can adjust your mood and body state to the best state.

The bar is a relatively open place, and with the stimulation of alcohol, many people are more courageous. In less than ten minutes, three people came to chat with each other. Obviously, they saw Zi Qi's figure. Although her face was covered by sunglasses, it was probably not bad. At least Fan Wubing next to her is very handsome. If she was an ugly girl, she would probably not be able to get along.

However, Zi Qi naturally didn't even need to deal with these people's conversations, and Fan Wubing dismissed them.

"You are so charming. It's so attractive to wear sunglasses. I guess if you take off your sunglasses, everyone from the nearby street will be attracted." Fan Wubing sent another foreigner who came to meet him, then took a sip of Lao Baifen, and said to Ziqi with a smile.

Zi Qi said with some worries, "Actually, it is more troublesome for girls to be beautiful. There will always be many people who want to treat you, but if they are ugly, they are not willing to do so. It is really contradictory. In the past, when they came with the people in Taiwan, many people were busy and didn't feel that they had so many worries."

Fan Wubing smiled and said, "Of course. If you want to do it, you always like to choose people who are left alone, and you will do whatever you do."

While the two were talking, a man in his thirties came in at the door, wearing a pair of sunglasses, looked around, then glanced at Fan Wubing and Ziqi's table, stopped for two seconds, and then walked over.
