Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 351 Director Lin's Summer Time

By August, Beijing was unusually hot.

Even rickshaw drivers dared not go out on the streets for fear of getting heatstroke.

The business of the sour plum soup shop and ice shop was getting better and better, but ordinary people could not afford ice, and they could not drink sour plum soup all day long. They could only try to rest at noon and work again in the evening when it was cooler.

But there are some jobs that if you don't do them, there are plenty of people who will do them.

At the West Cargo Yard of Zhengyangmen, many people die of the heat every day because of the rush to unload trucks at noon.

The supervisors would pull out these bodies at will, and then naturally the next batch of hungry laborers would fill these vacant positions.

The willow trees along the streets and alleys were wilted by the sun, and the few public water wells were always crowded with people.

An old man driving a cart was anxious and fed the animals with cold water. The animals pulling the cart had their lungs exploded and lay on the ground gasping for breath.

The old man cried sadly. Life was already hard, and now his livestock had died. What should he do?

Some people say that the extreme heat is a sign of war.

The battle in the south was indeed difficult to resolve.

Anqing had been lost long ago. At the end of last month, the Japanese invaders who came south surrounded Xunyang, and then went upstream westward, trying to cross the river to the south.

He risked a million men for this battle.

The Japs once again "gambled the fate of the country" and sent almost all the troops they could to central China, a total of 250,000 elite troops, in an attempt to defeat the resistance in the south in one fell swoop.

The 106st Division and the th Division attacked forward along Nanxun Road, and soon they would experience the power of that "tiger boy".

At the same time, an important highway in the southwest was opened to traffic.

Many inspiring stories will be born around this road.

Two alleys.

"Watch your step, pay attention to the door frame, yes, yes, move forward."

Niu Saner directed the workers who were delivering ice from the ice storage to carefully carry the large blocks of ice into the Lin residence.

Recently, he has started delivering ice every morning.

It’s not good to come too early. There are female relatives in the back house, so it’s inconvenient.

Not long ago, Niu Saner bought several large ice jars, which were more than one meter square, and placed them in the main room, bedroom and other places.

Every day, the ice delivered from the ice storage is placed in the ice container to keep things cool all day long.

These large chunks of ice are all river ice. In winter, when the river freezes over, the people in the ice storage cut the ice into large chunks and store them in cellars or specially dug caves.

In summer, the ice can be pulled out and sold.

There are also some small ice cubes, which are for eating.

River ice cannot be eaten as it is too dirty. Some of the cheap sour plum soups sold on the roadside are made with river ice. Customers who ate it suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, and some even lost their lives.

These small ice cubes are all produced by the Peking Ice Factory and use spring water.

This ice factory was originally opened by Wang Yusheng, whose uncle was the warlord Wang Dexian, who served as the governor of Beihu Province.

Later it was taken over by the Japanese and changed into the Beiping Refrigerated Factory of Suisan Corporation.

Later, the factory produced a soda called Arctic Ocean.

Niu Saner also brought a small planer that was specifically used for shaving ice, which could then be used to make all kinds of delicious food.

Ruoxue was very happy, she loved this kind of food the most. She bought some fruit, mashed it, and then shaved some smoothie on it. It was sweet and sour, delicious and refreshing.

Lin Ze looked at Ruoxue busying herself there and said, "Don't be busy yet. Call your sister Mieko over. I think she's also feeling very hot. Let's have some smoothies together to cool down."

Miyamoto's business is getting busier and busier, and he now spends most of his time in Tianjin. Mieko and Xiyue Ruoxue have become very familiar with each other.

She also often goes in and out of Lin's house. There is no other way, Miyamoto asked Lin Ze to take care of her!

After a while, Mieko came over, wearing a yukata and kimono, with flushed cheeks. Don't think too much, it's because she's hot.

Lin Ze brought a watermelon and cut it in half. Ruoxue scooped out the pulp with a spoon, put it in a bowl, then shaved some smoothie and sprinkled it on top, and kept the other half chilled.

"Don't eat too much, be careful of stomachache." Xiyue told her sister.

Mieko was more elegant, taking small sips with a spoon.

She enjoyed this kind of time very much, mainly because she was able to be with Lin Ze.

With the help of the big ice jar, the room quickly cooled down.

Lin Ze lay on the couch in an ungraceful manner, and Xiyue gently waved the fan to bring him cool breeze.

Mieko would bring a spoonful of watermelon smoothie to her mouth from time to time.

Ruoxue rolled her eyes a few times. It seems that this ice cube is not only edible!

After playing for an afternoon, Mieko made chilled soba noodles in the evening and bought a few bottles of Shuanghesheng Five Star Beer, which she chilled for half an hour and poured into Lin Ze's cup.

Listening to the cicadas, drinking cold beer and eating buckwheat noodles, this is Director Lin's summer leisure time.

...........

A few days later, on his way to work, Lin Ze saw a sign at Lao Ma's dim sum shop requesting a connection.

I didn't rush to go there. I was busy in the police station all day. It was not until the evening that I changed clothes and put on makeup to go find Lao Ma.

As soon as he arrived at the back room, Lao Ma said excitedly: "Team leader, the Japanese returned without success in their raid on the border area. I heard that they sent people to set up another border area in Huhe'an, which gave the Japanese a headache!"

Lin Ze nodded, and waited until Lao Ma's excitement died down before he said, "Send another report to the headquarters in two days. I got another piece of strategic intelligence. The Germans are now evaluating the actions of the Japanese in the Far East. They are not in agreement with the Japanese. The Japanese are very dissatisfied with the Germans selling arms in the Far East, but they are in urgent need of the Germans' support. They are probably eager to make a breakthrough on the battlefield in the south in exchange for a true alliance with the Germans."

This is the general strategic intelligence, which is still very important to the superiors, but it is of no use to the people below.

But Boss Dai should be very happy, as he likes such high-end things.

Lao Ma had long been numb from the shock of the team leader, and immediately skillfully gave him a wave of flattery, and then said, "Team leader, there is a mission from above, and it's quite strange."

"Very strange?"

"Yes, this is obviously an indiscriminate mission. It should be issued to all the district stations and groups in the north. There are two main contents. First, the higher-ups have reported the situation of Suiyuan Station. The Japanese somehow uncovered the activities of Suiyuan Station. According to the higher-ups, Suiyuan Station is in danger. If things go wrong, it is very likely to be wiped out. Second, the higher-ups have requested that, if possible, all district stations and groups should provide assistance to Junma's activities and do their utmost to save Junma."

"End?"

"It's over." Lao Ma spread his hands, indicating that he was also helpless.

"What's the matter with this horse?"

Lao Ma said angrily, "Team Leader, this is how they are. They want us to work hard but they won't tell us anything. We don't even know who this Jun Ma is or where he is, so how can we help him? I think we should just listen to this order and don't take it to heart."

Lao Ma didn't know that once headquarters issued such an order, there was really nothing that could be done.
