After leaving Fengtian City and heading north, their first stop was Changchun. According to the news Zhang Xueliang received, the eager Japanese army suddenly stopped their troops when they approached Changchun City and sent envoys to sit down and negotiate with Zhang Xueliang. Although
I don’t know what kind of medicine the Japanese buy in their gourds, but it’s definitely not a good thing.
Since Changchun has not fallen, it is not too late to arrive in Changchun first and then make plans. The group of people hurriedly arrived in Changchun in five days. It was completely different from the last time they came. There were no more bustling crowds on the streets, and there were no more merchants and hawkers doing business.
The few were pitiful. After hurriedly traveling for several days, everyone was a little sleepy and found an inn to stay first.
The shopkeeper was naturally very happy when he saw so many customers suddenly coming. He was busy with a smile. Without the shop assistant, he had to do everything by himself. He first poured tea and asked what to eat.
"Get some food, the sooner the better! We are all hungry!" Shitou shouted.
The shopkeeper nodded and hurriedly went down to make preparations. Sure enough, it was fast. Maybe because there were no customers in the shop, the already impatient cook finally got such a big job and became extra diligent. Chicken stewed with mushrooms, pork stewed with vermicelli, big
There were several sesame seed cakes and a jar of Northeastern-specific sorghum wine. No one said anything, and everyone ate happily.
After finishing the meal, the shopkeeper smiled and greeted everyone, pouring water for everyone: "You guys, you are satisfied with your meal!"
"Satisfied, satisfied! Ugh!" Shitou burped, feeling comfortable all over.
Ma Xingkong drank water and asked: "Shopkeeper, how is the business?"
"Hey!" The shopkeeper sighed: "Look around, you guys also saw it, where is the business? If you guys hadn't come in, I would have to wait for another day!"
"How could this happen?" Liu Wu asked.
The shopkeeper shook his head: "Since the last time I heard that some people fought with the Japanese in Heixiazigou, a Japanese general was killed!" The shopkeeper's voice was very low when he said this. Ma Xingkong
He and Mu Yunchen looked at each other.
The shopkeeper looked around and saw no one around before continuing: "From that day on, the Japanese began to strictly control people coming from Harbin. When people in Fengtian heard that there was going to be a war, they all ran to the pass. Who would come to Changchun!"
"
"Didn't the Japanese not come? What are you afraid of?" Long Jie asked.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" The shopkeeper said to Long Jie: "It seems that you are coming from the pass, and you are bringing your family with you. You don't know the current situation. I heard that the Northeast Army is going to enter the pass, and here will be here soon.
The world will become dominated by the Japanese, and the Japanese are not easy to mess with!"
Han Xiaomo said: "Since the business is not good, why don't the shopkeeper sell the store and save less losses?"
"Who would want it at this time of year?" the shopkeeper said with a sad face.
"What if I say I want it?" Han Xiaomo looked at Ma Xingkong with a smile, raised his head and asked the shopkeeper: "Please give me a price! I'll listen, and if it's suitable, I'll buy it!"
"Seriously!" The store manager didn't believe that such a good thing could happen. Seeing that Han Xiaomo didn't want to tell a joke, he thought for a long time and let Han Xiaomo see his hands.
Han Xiaomo smiled slightly: "Shopkeeper, are you kidding? Your store should be here for a long time! Besides, you also know that this business is not easy to do, so you even opened your mouth and told me the real price!"
The shopkeeper was stunned and stared at Han Xiaomo for a long time: "Are you also a businessman?"
Han Xiaomo said: "I think this is it! Five hundred yuan, if I can, I will take it over!" The two bargained for a long time and bought this small shop for 600 yuan. Did Han Xiaomo do this?
The reason for the obstruction was that they had discussed it before. Changchun City would be occupied by the Japanese sooner or later. Having Han Xiaomo's shop in the city was equivalent to Ma Xingkong having a pair of eyes. Feel free to interact with Han Xiaomo and the shopkeeper.
No one stopped me from bargaining.
A group of people sent the shopkeeper away, and Han Xiaomo officially became the innkeeper. He bought a firecracker, made a new plaque, and set off firecrackers at the door. The inn was reopened. Ma Xingkong and Mu Yunchen unveiled
The red silk on the plaque and the three gilded characters "Teng Yun Tower" appeared on the main street of Changchun City.
The business was still deserted. Han Xiaomo was busy in the front yard, found two waiters and two cooks, and officially started the business. Ma Xingkong, Mu Yunchen and others were discussing in the backyard room to find their own place on the hill.
While they were talking, a young boy hurried in and said, "My boss is in trouble, please come out and take a look!"
When a few people walked out of the room, they heard the sound of smashing dishes and bowls outside. Several people were making a fuss in the lobby aggressively. "Let your boss come out quickly. Do you understand the rules? Our director is personally in charge today. Who doesn't?"
Be convinced and arrest him immediately!" A voice came from the hall.
As soon as Ma Xingkong opened the door, everyone in the lobby was stunned. Several policemen in black leather were sitting carelessly on the benches in the lobby. A fat-headed guy sitting on a chair next to the counter watched silently.
Watching these policemen messing around. The big fat man was also wearing police clothes, with the collar wide open, and the big-brimmed hat on his head that looked extremely small. His two big cheeks hung down to his chest, and his small triangular eyes were slightly closed.
When a thin policeman saw Ma Xingkong and the others, he took a step back and asked loudly: "Which of you is the boss? Hurry up and take out this month's money according to the old rules! Don't keep our bureau waiting for a long time!"
"
"What kind of money?" Shitou asked.
Han Xiaomo pulled the stone and said with a smile: "Everyone, we are new to Baodi, and we have just purchased this store. You name the number, and we will give it to you, give it to you!" Han Xiaomo said while saying,
Take money out of your pocket.
"Haha..." The thin policeman chuckled: "This is like a saying, remember to take out ten big ones at the beginning of every month. If it's late, I'll let you look good!"
Everyone gritted their teeth and watched Han Xiaomo put ten oceans into the hand of the thin policeman. The thin policeman weighed it twice and hurriedly turned around and stuffed the money into the fat man's pocket. The fat man just hummed and shook his head from the chair.
He went up to the station to shoot, said "Let's go", led his men and walked towards the door.
"This! What kind of fucking policeman!" Shitou said angrily: "If you hadn't stopped me, I would have crushed him! This kind of thing is so hateful!"
Ma Xingkong sealed his eyes, looked at each other with Mu Yunchen, and turned to Liu Wuda: "Fifth brother, take Zou Kai, Yu Mu, and Yongnian with you. Let's get things done, be clean!"
Liu Wu nodded and led the three of them to the back door quickly.
