"Uncle Qi, you still have bananas here. I haven't had them for a long time!" Zhang Tinglan said and took one, skillfully pulled off the skin, and then stuffed a few mouthfuls into his mouth. It was a little green, but the taste was pretty good.
good.
After Zhang Tinglan finished eating, he found that everyone present was staring at him in confusion, a little surprised. Zhang Tinglan didn't know what was going on. At this time, Zhang Xueming moved quickly and took one, and he also imitated Zhang Tinglan's example.
Like this, he took off the outside and took a big bite, saying vaguely: "It's delicious, it's delicious!"
At this time, Mrs. Dai couldn't help laughing and couldn't help covering her mouth with a handkerchief. Everyone else was also smiling.
"What a shame, it's so embarrassing. There are people in the room who don't know how to eat this stuff. They would all blush if I tell you!"
Mrs. Dai also said: "Yes, some people said that it should be eaten fried or fried. The second young master was the smartest and ate it with the skin!"
At this point, everyone looked at Zhang Xueming and couldn't help but laugh. Zhang Tinglan woke up after hearing this. It turns out that these people don't know how to eat bananas! In future generations, even three-year-old children will know.
How to eat bananas, so many people in Dangdang Shuaifu, but no one knows, it is indeed a joke to tell it.
After Zhang Tinglan thought about it, it was actually not surprising. After this era, Zhang Tinglan would only eat a few apples, pears, grapes and other fruits at most. As for bananas, pineapples, etc. produced in the south, she had never seen them, let alone
After eating it, it’s no wonder that no one in the handsome family has seen it.
In an era when 90% of the people do not have enough food and clothing, eating all kinds of fruits from all over the world, even from abroad, is indeed such a luxury. Even the handsome manor cannot do it. China is separated by a hundred years.
People's lives have changed so much, it is simply a sea of change. It has been turned upside down. However, it seems that this time can be shorter, and people's lives can change faster. Zhang Tinglan secretly made up his mind.
Everyone in the handsome manor finally stopped laughing. Mrs. Dai suddenly asked: "Zhuyan, I remember you have never been to the south. Where have you eaten bananas?"
Zhang Tinglan also flashed a hint of embarrassment. He couldn't say that he often ate it in his previous life. He could only say: "I ate it at Fred's once, but he didn't have much, so I couldn't ask for it to honor the seventh uncle."
"No, it doesn't matter whether you eat it or not. I just want to know how the preparations for Han Qing's wedding are going. This is a big deal. I'm looking forward to having my grandson!"
"Brand-new furniture, quilts, jewelry, drinks and ingredients are all ready. In addition, chefs, drummers, and handymen are all found. I asked Han Qing for his opinion. This wedding will not use a sedan, but will use a car instead. I have already
I contacted a foreign company and arranged a total of fifteen cars to pick up the bride, so it will be lively!"
"Fifteen cars is not a small amount of money. I'd like to say that you are doing this. It's too luxurious. Fifteen cars cost at least 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. Plus the driver, fuel and other things, the cost will be even more.
.”
The selling price of a classic car in the United States is about US$3,000 or more. After being shipped to China, a car will cost about US$20,000 at least, and there are other expenses. It does not add up to a small amount, and Lao Zhang also has a little
It hurts, after all, the three eastern provinces have just been unified, and he doesn't have much money. But there are too many places to spend money, so Lao Zhang has to be careful and not dare to be extravagant and wasteful, especially because he is worried that the people below him will follow the same example, so what can Fengjun do?
Something is about to go wrong.
"Commander, this car is not used after one use. The eldest young master can use it when he gets married, and the second young master can also use it." Mrs. Dai said, Zhang Xueming on the side did not expect that it would involve him, and said hurriedly: "I don't
Worry, isn't there Brother Zhuoyan? He's fast too, so he can use this suit just right!"
"That's right!" Mrs. Dai smiled and nodded. Ever since Zhang Tinglan rescued her brother, Mrs. Dai had been very fond of Zhang Tinglan, so she said with a smile: "Dr. Zhou is a top-notch person, and his medical skills are also very superb.
His demeanor and demeanor are definitely not comparable to those of a small door. Moreover, he is well-informed and knows a lot about foreigners. He and Zhuoyan are definitely a match sent from heaven. If you don’t dislike it, I will prepare to be a matchmaker for a time, which can be regarded as a meritorious deed!
"
"Who is this Dr. Zhou? You said he is like a flower. If he is really good, I will also help him get married. It's time to start a family and start a business." Zhang Zuolin also suddenly became interested.
"Two days ago, I invited her over to help all the sisters check their health. She was very clear and logical. My legs and feet were frozen, and she gave me some home remedies. I heard that girl Xianrui is also in good health.
A lot of them have been rejuvenated by Dr. Zhou’s wonderful skills!”
"Commander, ma'am, let's not worry about my business for now. In fact, when I buy these cars, I plan to modify them and add protective steel plates to block ordinary bullets and bombs. In the future, Marshal will also have Uncle Sun and Wu
Master, they all ride in one car, which is definitely much safer than war horses!"
Zhang Zuolin didn't expect Zhang Tinglan to have this idea. After thinking about it carefully, it did make sense. Mrs. Dai also said hastily: "Commander, Zhu Yan's idea is indeed good. The last time the Japanese turtle assassinated you, we people want to
I feel scared even when I get up!"
Lao Zhang nodded: "In that case, let's make a decision. We must be more careful with the Japanese!"
Zhang Zuolin thought for a while, then waved his hand and sent everyone away, leaving only Zhang Tinglan. Lao Zhang sighed and said to him: "I have talked with the Japanese several times, and I agreed to hire Japanese instructors.
I also agreed to give priority to purchasing Japanese goods and machinery, and I have finally passed this hurdle."
There was a big trouble on the Korean peninsula. Okuma Shigenobu's cabinet fell. Even the old guy Masaki Terauchi didn't survive. He kicked off his legs three days after being sent to the hospital. As a result, Japan's domestic political situation created a vacuum, and the elders started all over again.
Fight for.
Veterans of the navy and army, as well as political parties advocating democracy and freedom, are all engaged in fierce games to strive for dominance in the future. For the Japanese, domestic troubles come first, and the chaos in Korea comes second.
, and the problems of Northeast China were ranked third.
Coupled with repeated warnings from the great powers, the Japanese finally gave up the idea of using force against Northeast China, but they also extorted some benefits, the most important of which were three points. Japan sent an advisory group to Fengjun to guide Fengjun's training. Both sides
To jointly establish the Fengtian Arsenal, Fengtian will give priority to purchasing Japanese equipment and hiring Japanese technical personnel.
Regarding these three items, Lao Zhang is very clear about the dangers involved. Once he agrees, the Japanese will attack the military and business circles in Fengtian to expand their power. However, Zhang Zuolin is also very clear-headed. If he does not agree to these things, he will not be able to pass the test.
Again, I could only reluctantly agree.
"Commander, in fact, there are still loopholes in this treaty. The scope of the treaty is only within the territory of Fengtian, which is what the Japanese call Southern Manchuria. Northern Manchuria is still in the hands of the Russians, and the Japanese do not dare to intervene blatantly.
Among them, among the three eastern provinces, Jilin and Heilongjiang have long lagged behind Fengtian. The development gap between the three provinces is very large. I think it is better to disperse some industries to Jilin and Heilongjiang, which can not only promote the development of the two provinces, but also increase insurance.
, to prevent the Japanese from getting involved!"
"My humble opinion is that the Russians are even more greedy and unscrupulous. Will they be safe in Northern Manchuria?"
"Commander, don't worry. Russia is indeed greedy, but they have a big appetite but no good teeth. The domestic situation is getting worse and worse, almost no different from the late Qing Dynasty. Moreover, the Czar also participated in the world war. Russia's national strength is basically
I can't bear it. I think Russia will collapse within a year and a half. It is inevitable that their power will shrink back. By then, Northern Manchuria will be our world!"
The biggest bottleneck in Fengjun's development lies in the poor geopolitical environment. There is Tsarist Russia in the north and Japan in the south. The two major powers sandwich the three eastern provinces in the middle. Fengjun can only breathe in the cracks. If one of the powers can be driven out,
, Fengjun’s situation will completely change.
After Lao Zhang heard the news, he was also very excited, but he still had a doubt: "I would like to say that Tsarist Russia is a bigger country than us. Will it really collapse?"
"It is entirely possible that the internal conflicts in Russia have reached an out-of-control point, and the Russians have suffered heavy losses this summer. Millions of people have died on the front lines. They will definitely not be able to hold on for long!"
"Well, as long as Russia is finished, we will shift our development focus to Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces."
Zhang Tinglan had just left the Commander's Mansion and went straight to the Martial Arts Hall. The students here would be the backbone of Fengjun in the future. It was absolutely right to invest more in them, so Zhang Tinglan put as much effort as possible here.
As soon as he reached the door, a student suddenly ran out in a panic and grabbed Zhang Tinglan's hand.
"Teacher Zhang, the Japanese want to compete with us, please go in and have a look!"
As soon as Zhang Tinglan heard that the matter was related to the Japanese, he couldn't help but get concerned, so he hurriedly ran in. Along the way, the student introduced the situation to Zhang Tinglan. It turned out that Zhang Zuolin agreed to the Japanese to send an advisory team, and the Japanese immediately sent the personnel
When they arrived at Fengtian, they went directly to the martial arts lecture hall and declared that they wanted to exchange experiences with the young officers of the Fengjun Army.
In the end, the exchange was false, and the attempt to take the opportunity to suppress Fengjun's confidence was true. Although Japan tried its best to cover it up, the news that they had killed about 300 people still spread around. These Japanese officers wanted to regain face from Fengjun, so
While the two sides were talking, they proposed to have a martial arts competition.
The Chinese side couldn't help it. These young students were all very passionate and were not willing to be timid at all, so they agreed at that time. The two sides opened the field at the back of the school field and were about to compete. Just at this time, Zhang Tinglan arrived.
"Don't worry, everyone. As the saying goes, it's not good to curse people, and it's not good to hit people. If there is any damage, both of us will look bad. I think it's better not to do it!"
"Coward, the Japanese samurai will never be afraid of sacrifice, the Chinese people are a bunch of cowards!"
