715. The old film of the Republic of China (2) Three in one(2/2)
The two of them held hands and walked through the carriage. They passed five third-class cars, which were second-class cars. The second-class cars were filled with soft sand-like seats, and there were even fewer people sitting there. There were no ten people in one carriage. Not everyone could get a ticket for five yuan.
Further down there is the restaurant. The restaurant on the car is covered with a light yellow tablecloth, and there are also a thin vase on the table, with more than one or two plastic decorative flowers inserted. There is also a bar on the end, providing some Western bread and wine. Lin Yutong saw a pair of men and women, a man wearing a white suit and black and white leather shoes on his feet, which are very bright. The woman opposite was wearing a cheongsam with a white background and red peony, and a valuable fur on her body. The man was holding a high-legged glass in his hands, and the red liquid in the glass should be red wine. The woman painted a piece of bread that had been cut into small pieces, and the glass next to her was still steaming milk. She looked very bourgeois.
There is a roof on the roof and in the carriage, but it seems to be two worlds.
The man holding the wine glass looked at the Fourth Master and Lin Yutong, and then raised his glass to greet him. It was really the same dress as these two people.
The Fourth Master nodded to the other party, and the other party immediately said: "rn"
The Fourth Master glanced at Lin Yutong and raised his eyebrows, "That's to bother."
When the other party saw that the other party could understand English, he said Chinese. He knew that he didn't want to speak English in the country.
He immediately followed the good deeds and reached out to shake hands with the Fourth Master: "Hello, Chen Xiangdong."
"Yin Zhen." The Fourth Master shook hands with the other party and called to introduce Lin Yutong, "This is my inner son."
Chen Xiangdong immediately stretched out his hand: "It turned out to be Mrs. Yin. Lucky meeting."
"Mr. Chen, you are kind." Lin Yutong handed over his hand. The man was very gentlemanly. He gently shook his fingertips and then let go.
But he did not introduce the woman around him. When Lin Yutong looked over, she saw that the woman was qualified to look at Chen Xiangdong's face and knew that this person should not be Chen Xiangdong's relatives. She either had a deep relationship or had a chance meeting. The relationship should not be equal.
When the four of them sat down, a waiter came forward to pour wine and brought in the Western steak. After chatting like this, he realized that Chen Xiangdong had returned from the UK and was in Shanghai, so this time he was just a business trip.
"Our country's textile technology is really backward. Nowadays, our domestic printing and dyeing factories basically use Japanese and German grey fabrics. Japan is close to us and the shipping fee is cheap, so we almost use Japanese grey fabrics. Our factory just ordered a state-of-the-art spinning machine from Germany."
Lin Yutong is a mechanical blind man. She understands these things roughly, but when it comes to professional components, she can't understand them at all.
The Fourth Master is considered a mechanical expert, and he knows everything about this. Therefore, he is very good at speaking.
Lin Yutong was eating steak and felt that it was actually not as good as the donkey meat bought by the Fourth Master.
Chen Xiangdong glanced at Lin Yutong, and saw that the other party was very skillful in Western cuisine, so he no longer doubted the identity of these two people.
Lin Yutong didn't pay attention to the other party's attention. After eating a steak, she still felt that she didn't eat serious food.
The girl opposite suddenly whispered: "Which middle school did Mrs. Yin graduate? Maybe we are still alumni."
Female students who can go to middle school are now considered new women.
Lin Yutong smiled: "We can't be classmates."
Chen Xiangdong glanced at the girl before saying to Lin Yutong: "Mrs. Sister-in-law is studying in a university abroad, right?"
After a while, Mrs. Yin became her sister-in-law.
Lin Yutong smiled pursed her lips, and did not admit it or deny it. In other people's opinion, this is a default.
It was still very cold in the car at night. Especially when it was close to the window, the cold air came through the window, making people shivering. Lin Yutong could obviously feel that the girl opposite was stomping her feet gently. On such a day, how can her legs and feet not be cold?
Lin Yutong took a sip of wine with a glass, and then she heard what the Fourth Master was saying to the other party. The sound was a bit stuck in the clanging sound of the train, and it was not very clear. Immediately afterwards, the Fourth Master pushed a gold bar over. Then Chen Xiangdong waved to the waiter, as if he was talking about the sleeper.
Originally, Lin Yutong had no hope for the sleeper, so how comfortable it would be. But when she really entered, she realized that the sleeper was not only a sleeper, but also a private room. There was sand inside, the tabletop was marble. A double bed was not small, and there was a washbasin and toilet on one side of the bed. Although there was no cover, it was clean enough. Once the car door was closed, it became a world of its own.
Lin Yutong was also suffocated. As soon as the door was closed, he entered the space to go to the toilet. He left the outside to the Fourth Master. He took a shower first, and then he came out. He saw that the Fourth Master had already wiped his body with a hot veil. Lin Yutong took it and wiped his back, "What did you say to Chen Xiangdong?"
"Keep this connection, it will be of great use in the future." The Fourth Master said, and stopped talking.
Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment and understood that cloth is also an important strategic material.
The bed on the train was more comfortable than expected. Although he couldn't sleep well, it was much better than sitting and getting frozen. The next morning, Chen Xiangdong came over. The two of them were talking about the textile machine. It was not until the afternoon when the train arrived at the station that Chen Xiangdong hurriedly left his address and asked the Fourth Master to send him a telegram or call after he settled.
This time, the two of them did not get off the bus with Chen Xiangdong, but waited until the end before getting off the bus. When they came out, there were no one in front of the station.
Not far away, there were several rickshaws parked. The Fourth Master reached out and called one, "Go to the bank."
One person pulled two people away, and only five cents were required when he arrived at the place: "If you pulled one person, three points. If you pulled two people, five points."
In fact, he said too much. He pulled a person two cents, one man and one woman, at most three cents. For example, those who were slaughtered by their own life can get one cent a day, which is luck. Apart from the four cents given to the car dealer, he can still lose six cents. One and a half yuan a month is enough to chew it. But if a woman gave birth to another child, it will only be enough to drink thin.
The Fourth Master handed over the only ocean left, "Thank you for more than ten miles to pull two people."
Lin Yutong nodded to the other party and then went inside.
The coachman took the money and slapped him. He was not honest, but he didn't expect to meet such a honest customer.
Before Lin Yutong entered the bank door, she was attracted by the sign hanging at the bank door. It said the exchange rate of today's bank exchange copper plates. Today is a silver dollar that can be exchanged for 123 copper plates.
A man in a long gown frowned and said, "I could exchange 127 yesterday, but why did it become 23 white today?"
The woman next to her pulled the man away: "Let's take a look tomorrow. I'll lose a lot of money after a day's loss."
Lin Yutong only felt that the currency at this time was really scratching his head. A silver dollar could be exchanged for about 128 copper plates. Why do I say it? That's because the exchange rate changes every day. How much does a copper plate cost? Anyway, two copper plates can buy three eggs. For example, the Fourth Master used to buy sweet potatoes and buy two for one cent. In this case, if you want to buy only one, you can pay with copper plates without using this kind of coins or banknotes. One cent can be exchanged for twelve or three copper plates. And this conversion is different in different places. It's really troublesome to settle accounts with things. No wonder everyone has to worry about changing changes. A copper plate has a great effect in the family. Buying vegetables is enough to stir-fry for two meals, and buying tofu is enough to buy a plate of dishes. Even men are socializing outside and making tea, and there is only a few copper plates. They can't even use a penny.
I calculated it in my mind and went into the bank. I saw someone holding two oceans to save money. The high counter was welded with an iron fence, and the transaction had to be handed over through the gap. I saw the cashier gently throwing the silver dollar on the counter, listening with his ears, and then rubbing the edges with two silver dollars, then saying to the people outside: "I'm sorry, I can only save one for you. You should just keep the other one first."
The meaning is very obvious, one of the silver dollars is fake.
Just when the money-saving face changed color instantly, "I'll just say, why are you paying for it here with ease?"
The cashier inside looked at the man sympathetically, and while placing the silver dollar in the arc-shaped groove on the counter, he advised: "Boss Zhang, if you can give you one, you can be content. What else do you want?"
As he spoke, the deposit had been filled out there, and he handed it out here, "You're ready, there's a whole piece of the ocean!"
This, who was called Boss Zhang, looked at the passbook with a sad face and then carefully stuffed it into his arms and turned around and went out.
The Fourth Master stepped forward and lit up the gold bar in his hand. The person inside immediately said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask the manager to go now."
Lin Yutong smiled, it was the same as the P-business of a large depositor.
The manager was wearing a suit and politely asked the Fourth Master and Lin Yutong to go inside. After turning upstairs, he saw the manager's office room. The black leather sand and marble-surfaced coffee table were brewed with white ceramic tea cups and sent it over.
The talent asked: "Sir, are you planning to change the ocean?"
Lin Yutong responded, "There are still ten yuan banknotes and five yuan copper plates." You can't throw them out at every turn, just one silver dollar and one silver dollar. This is not a person who lives.
The Fourth Master turned his head and smiled, then nodded.
Seeing that the Fourth Master and the manager were going to do the redemption, Lin Yutong asked the front desk cashier who was supporting him, "What's wrong with that boss Zhang just now?"
As soon as the man asked this, he made a thrill, "Isn't it the Huwei Gang on the street, a group of hooligans. Boss Zhang opened a small restaurant, good guy, this guy only eats and doesn't pay for money, saying that he would be settled at the end of the month. But this month was delayed for one month, who would see their money? Boss Zhang asked his cousin's husband's elder sister-in-law, who was working in the police station. He asked someone to urge him, but he gave him face and threw two oceans. Another one was fake! I guess Mr. Zhang's shop can't be opened anymore. At least it's not possible in Qingdao."
It turns out that it is this trick, "It's hard to do a small business!"
"Who said no?" The man responded and was about to speak again. The Fourth Master and the Manager had already returned.
Lin Yutong saw that the Fourth Master was carrying a cloth bag in his hand, which seemed to be quite a lot. She hurriedly stood up and the manager there also sent the person out: "If you save money, just come over and calculate it at the highest interest rate for you. If you buy stocks, we can buy it on behalf of us, don't worry."
He also enthusiastically introduced the local hotels, such as Linhai Bohai. "If you want to buy a house, you have to be in the German Concession before, and the houses there are very good."
The two of them are still considering so much, so the matter of the house is even less than the scope of consideration, so they head straight to Linhai Hotel.
I can't spend a dollar for one night. The large and comfortable beds, bathrooms, and bathrooms all have European architectural styles. There is even heating on inside. When I press the bell in the room, there is a waiter serving me. Ordering and dining in the room, there is no problem at all. I feel that except for the absence of TV and telephones, here, it is really comparable to those of later star-rated hotels. The service is very considerate.
Of course, there are more considerate things. In this hotel, there are many women wearing cool outfits, short-sleeved or sleeveless cheongsams. They have exquisite makeup on their faces, and the cheongsam is spread a little bit above their knees, revealing their calves wearing stockings. As long as the guests greet them in the room, they will go in immediately, and the service is very considerate.
Lin Yutong observed them mainly to study the cheongsams on them. She thought that TV series and movies were really misleading enough. She kept talking, but when she saw the Fourth Master not talking, she asked, "I said their service was very considerate."
Before he finished speaking, the Fourth Master continued: "The price is also very expensive!"
