Chapter 384: Well, protect Xiao Wang again
Chapter 384: Well, protect Xiao Wang again
drug store.
A man came into the alley. He was dressed in shorts and looked terribly dirty. You could smell the fishy smell from a distance.
He was carrying a load on his shoulder, with large wooden barrels on both sides filled with ice. Buried in the ice were small yellow croakers. The load, including the ice and the fish, was not light and was quite substantial.
Regardless of whether they are rich or poor, Beijingers love to eat fried small yellow croaker. This thing itself has a salty taste, so there is no need to add salt. Just carefully add some oil and fry it. If conditions permit, sprinkle some five-spice powder. After frying, use a piece of pancake to wipe off the oil in the pan, and then you have the dish and rice.
If I can also have two taels of sweet potato cake, it will be the New Year!
"Hey, yellow croaker is here for sale~"
"Hey, the yellow croaker from Tianjin is here for sale~"
The medicine shop was also a shop in front and a house in the back. The back was where the shopkeeper lived. Mao Wanli opened the door and said with his hands in his sleeves, "Fish seller, how much is it?"
"Shopkeeper, by jin it's two silver coins, by piece it's eight silver coins."
Mao Wanli frowned, "Eight big coins? Eight big coins can buy a bowl of wontons!"
"Oh, my good shopkeeper, if you were here a few years ago, you could only buy a bowl of wontons. What era is this now? With eight yuan, you can only have a bowl of white soup at best!"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense at the door. Bring it in, I have to pick it out. Let me be clear, I don't want the stinky ones!"
As the fishmonger entered the store, he shouted, "We get the fish from Tianjin the night before, put it on ice and send it here on a cart. If there's anything smelly, you'll give me a slap in the face!"
After closing the door and walking a few steps inside, Mao Wanli whispered, "Fishmonger, did you succeed? Why is there no movement in the city?"
The fishmonger's cunning temperament of a street vendor disappeared, and his face became more serious and fierce. "Stationmaster, don't worry, none of the four Japanese soldiers escaped. I guess the Japanese are investigating. I don't want to make a big fuss, but I have to say that the people you dealt with this time are too fucking bad. Their hands are not steady when holding the gun. If this happens a few more times, I will definitely be in trouble!"
Mao Wanli was overjoyed when he heard that the assassination was successful. He turned his head and noticed that the fishmonger was standing with his legs apart. He couldn't help but joked, "What happened to your legs? You took too big a step and pulled it?"
"It's unlucky to talk about this. The day before yesterday, there was a fight at the fishmongers' shop. I was also pecked in the eye by a sparrow because of my constant hunting. A bastard took advantage of me not paying attention and stabbed me with a dart. I was so angry that I chopped his shoulder with a knife, and he almost cut it in two."
Mao Wanli felt sorry for his brother. "Is it covered? How about I get you some medicine? You said you are the same, so why are you rushing up?"
"Stationmaster, you are talking without any pain. I am the boss of the fish farm, but I can't even grab the fish. How can I be the boss of the fish farm? You go tomorrow and I will open the medicine shop, okay? Don't worry, I have everything covered. I have the best medicine. It will heal in two days."
The most brutal fights are among fishmongers.
Because the profits from selling fish are high, vegetable vendors who control the vegetable sales channels are jealous.
In the past, when fishmongers still sold fish in Xianyukou, they fought each other all day long. Later, Xianyukou became a bustling and prosperous place, and most of the fishmongers went to Guang'an Market, and they fought each other even more.
Later, they formed gangs and factions, forming small groups such as Yuhuo and Yubang, which were similar to the Yuguogang in Tianjin.
Whoever wins the fight will have a larger share and can bring in more fish from outside the city, which also means they can make more money.
No wonder the fishmonger chose this profession as his undercover identity. The fishmongers are quite united, they eat and live together, and work hard together all day long. If anyone gets injured, the fishmonger will support him for life. If anyone loses his life in a fight for the fishmongers, the fishmonger will also pay to support his family.
In this situation, even if the Japanese came to arrest people, I guess those fishmongers would dare to draw their fish knives and fight.
After sending the fishmonger away, Mao Wanli couldn't wait to arrange someone to send the message.
Killing a lieutenant is such a great achievement!
Finally, I have avenged myself!
Boss Dai must be so happy!
..........................
Mountain city, Luojiawan.
It was already dark, and Boss Dai was so busy that he hadn't had dinner yet.
Mao Dafeng looked at the two telegrams in his hand and knocked on the door with some hesitation.
"Enter!"
Mao Dafeng pushed the door open and walked in, then closed it behind him.
"Commander, you haven't had dinner yet. You are busy with official duties and you have to take care of your health. So many brothers in the Military Control Commission are counting on you."
Boss Dai was already immune to such flattery. He looked up and saw the telegram in Mao Dafeng's hand, and asked expectantly, "News about the Golden Buddha?"
Originally, Mao Dafeng wanted to report the news from the Peking Station to Boss Dai first, but now after hearing what Boss Dai said, he could only take out the following one first.
The telegram from Jinfo was highly confidential, so Boss Dai had to translate it again himself. He was like a child opening a present. He did not even send Mao Dafeng away. Instead, he took out a book and began to translate it impatiently.
When he saw the Third Independent Brigade, Boss Dai's eyes widened uncontrollably.
Developed!
The news that the Independent 3rd Brigade was about to be transferred north was leaked in advance, which was definitely good news for the Loyal and Patriotic Army in eastern Hebei, as it would give them enough time to escape.
But in the eyes of Boss Dai, the life and death of the Loyal and Patriotic Army was unimportant, because the affairs in Jidong were mainly caused by the Red Zone, and the Loyal and Patriotic Army that was set up by the Tianjin Station was originally there with the mentality of getting a piece of the pie.
But this news is very important to the battle situation in Jiangcheng!
Now that we know the enemy's movements in advance, if we can make use of them at the front line...
Maybe you can achieve great results!
And that person likes this kind of information, because it makes it easier for him to micro-manipulate!
Boss Dai suppressed his excitement and said, "It was Xiao Wang who received the telegram, right? Well, let's protect her first..."
Mao Dafeng was speechless!
"Commander, Xiao Wang has already applied to live here from now on. I have prepared a room for her next to the telecommunications room. I heard that she has disposed of all the houses outside."
There is no other way. Even if he has a house, he cannot move out and is "protected" all day long. Xiao Wang used to feel miserable, but now he is used to it. Anyway, he has food and drink here and can make contributions. Why not do it!
"Okay, great! Get the car ready, I'm going to meet that person."
"Hey...Commander, there is another telegram from the Beiping Station. They have made a great breakthrough and killed four devils in one go. One of them was an officer in the North China Front Army's General Staff."
Boss Dai was in a good mood. He took it and took a look. "Well, not bad! Beiping Station has also made great progress! Tell Mao Wanli to do a good job!"
Mao Dafeng: Just... just this! ! ?
