The thirty-seventh report from Wuchang (2)

How fast does a modern train run, and you still want to buy snacks along the way? How is that possible? The only food you can buy is the dining car that miraculously passes by no matter how many people, how much luggage, or how crowded it is. The standard language is: "Go up."

Coupon, beer, drink, mineral water, second line, peanuts, melon seeds and eight-treasure porridge, horizontal batch, give way, give way."

And the price, hehe, is more than double that of ordinary small shops. Who wants to buy snacks on the train? Of course, rich people can do whatever they want.

Leng Feng couldn't help but feel itchy when he saw so many people selling things outside. He didn't always get the chance to play such a realistic game!

"It feels like playing Farm Happy and Monopoly." Leng Feng suddenly came up with such an idea. It's quite interesting, isn't it?

Seeing Leng Feng open the window, several sharp-eyed children rushed over, but when they found out it was an officer, they immediately stopped the car and looked at each other, no one dared to step forward.

Finally, a little guy who seemed to be doing business for the first time came over tentatively and asked timidly: "Sir, please buy some steamed buns, hot ones."

Leng Feng blinked at him: "What's the stuffing?"

The child replied hastily: "Those with meat, those with meat, three... um, three copper coins."

Leng Feng nodded. Although his economics was not very good, he knew a little bit about the chaotic monetary system during the Republic of China. The middle period of the Republic of China was the eighth year of the Republic of China, from 1919 to the twenty-fourth year of the Republic of China, 1935.

Each region has issued its own copper coins. There are not only copper coins from the Qing Dynasty, but also copper coins from the Republic of China. There are also large copper coins in some regions, such as Sichuan, Hubei, and Henan, all of which circulate from 50 to 200 coins.

The copper yuan was issued in the late Republic of China, that is, after 1935, when paper currency was issued. The copper yuan was gradually replaced by nickel coins, but it took a long time, so at this time, private copper yuan could still be circulated.

"Then let's have four meat buns." Leng Feng figured it out. In addition to selling steamed buns, they also sell steamed buns and flatbreads. What kind of flowers can a rural family make?

Leng Feng handed over a banknote with the smallest denomination, which was much more expensive than a copper dollar. The child held the banknote and couldn't find it: "Sir, I can't find it."

Leng Feng waved his hand: "Then I won't look for you anymore."

The child immediately handed over four steamed buns wrapped in lotus leaves. After Ren Dong took them, several other children immediately came up, but the items sold were similar. Leng Feng couldn't just eat the steamed buns with rice and pancakes.

So I had to buy two boxes of Fortress cigarettes and didn’t buy anything else, because four buns were really big...

When the train whistled and was about to leave, a child suddenly knocked on Leng Feng's window. Leng Feng opened the window. A child put a squirrel in a bamboo cage and said to Leng Feng: "Sir, sir, I bought this squirrel."

Well, I only need thirty cents, please, my mother is waiting for the money to get medicine." The child looked eager and dressed up. It seemed that he had nothing else to sell except this squirrel, so Leng Feng

He believed it, took out a silver dollar, handed it to him, and took the squirrel's bamboo cage and a bag of pine nuts wrapped in blue cloth.

"Sir... there are too many." The child regarded this piece of ocean as a huge sum of money. Leng Feng said: "Put it away quickly and go back to get medicine."

The child immediately wrapped up the silver dollar and put it away thoughtfully. Then, a few steps away from Leng Feng, he knelt down and kowtowed to Leng Feng, then turned around and ran away. Leng Feng was so frightened that he almost jumped out of the car window.

Jump down.

The car drove away, and Ren Dong opened a lotus leaf very familiarly, and a big white fat steamed bun appeared in front of him. Ren Dong took one bite, and the box was suddenly filled with a strong smell of... steamed buns.

"Sir, the buns are delicious, you should eat them too," Ren Dong said with the buns in his mouth.

Leng Feng also took a bun and said, "Try it." After that, he took a bite and said, "Oh! It's fragrant. There's no waste oil, no water-filled meat, and not so many preservatives." Leng Feng was very satisfied with the taste of this bun.

, very satisfied.

Ren Dongze had no idea what Leng Feng was talking about: "What kind of waste oil?"

Leng Feng said: "If you don't finish eating the oil in the vegetables and pour it out, if it goes into the ditch and you take it out again, won't it become gutter oil? If you add water to the meat, won't it sink? Can you sell it for more money?

Well, it’s just water-injected meat.”

Ren Dong waved his hand: "Hey, sir, you are so good at making jokes. Do you still have some oil left? If you pour it out, it will be a waste. I want to lick the plate clean. There is also this meat. How do you add water to it? No one can see it.

Come out, meat is meat, and water is water. If water gets into the meat, you will lose your conscience and will be struck by thunder from God!"

Leng Feng: "...Well, sometimes I find that the Republic of China is also quite good..."

However, Leng Feng suddenly thought back to the time when Geng Liang was injured. Although the military police came, they wanted to make peace with each other and could not afford to offend the gang. But why were the Ax Gang members injured? The military police at the station

Come up and take them away without saying a word? Is Wang Yaqiao not in Shanghai at the moment? Or is there some inside story?

In fact, this is because Leng Feng didn't know some unofficial history of officials. Although Wang Yaqiao's Ax Gang was very popular, because Wang Yaqiao had assassinated Wang Jingwei before, it directly led to the pursuit of Bald Jiang. Wang Yaqiao had already gone to Guangxi Province. At this moment,

The Ax Gang only has an empty frame, and several leaders work hard to support the glory of the Ax Gang.

Of course, those policemen who adapt to the situation don't mind adding insult to injury, so when they fight a toothless tiger, they look like a "Wu Song".

There was a "Tuk Tuk" knock on the door, and it was the waiter who brought lunch to Leng Feng and the others. It was Chinese-Western food imitating the West. The cover was lifted, steak with white rice, eh! The chef must be too lazy to chop the stuffing.

, directly fry the beef in the beef rice bowl and serve it as steak.

There was also a pot of coffee, and a bitter taste immediately appeared in Leng Feng's mouth. The shadow of the last Blue Mountain coffee could not be dissipated for a long time.

Sure enough, Leng Feng took a bite and found it was bitter!!!

"Waiter! Wait, is there any candy?!" Leng Feng stopped the waiter who was about to leave. The waiter looked at Leng Feng doubtfully and said, "There is candy..."

Leng Feng said: "A pot of milk, some sugar, and more sugar."

Although the waiter didn't know what Leng Feng wanted for these, he still went to the kitchen to get them in line with the way of life that only rich people could reserve a private room and officers could not be offended.

Ren Dong said doubtfully: "Huh? Sir, I see that those people with status don't want sugar when they drink coffee."

Leng Feng held his forehead. Did people in the past like to be tortured? There was no sugar in coffee. It was bitter. No wonder they drank it so slowly... Their small cup was not enough to fill the gap between their teeth. It turned out to be bitter.

The milk came, and so did the sugar. Leng Feng happily made a cup of coffee that comes in a long bag, tore it open and poured it into a cup, then brewed it with hot water...

………………………

Slow! The trains in the Republic of China were really slow. Leng Feng was so slow that he wanted to get out and push the train. The problem was that their stop time was too long, even an hour. I wonder if they could reach Wuchang in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse and the Moon!

During the journey, Ren Dong was quite happy. He would sneak out of this carriage and run around in that carriage. He would run out at every stop. When he came back, he would bring Leng Feng a bunch of colorful and delicious food. Of course, the premise was

It was Leng Feng who gave him five oceans to squander. This guy simply didn't know how to spend his money. Even so, he still had four oceans left.

Sitting was uncomfortable, lying down was tiring, there was not much space, and there was no way to move around. Leng Feng looked out the window and saw the word "boring" floating in the sky.

Finally, after a day and a night, we finally arrived in Wuchang. Leng Feng rushed out of the carriage as if he had been released from prison, stretched his body, and ahhhh, the stop sign next to him had the Chinese character Wuchang written in traditional Chinese.

"Let's go." Leng Feng was carrying two suitcases, and Ren Dong was also carrying a suitcase. Of course, they were all Leng Feng's luggage. When he came back from Germany, he didn't take his luggage with him, so he was still waiting to check it in?

"Where are you going, sir?" A rickshaw driver was very discerning. He was carrying two suitcases. He would be a ghost if he didn't take the car. "Old fifth son, you are trying to save your life again. Go, go, get in line!" Another rickshaw driver ran over.

, Dare there be rules for queuing up taxis to pick up passengers now?!

Leng Feng really couldn't bear to take the rickshaw, but judging from their looks, if he refused, I'm afraid they would not be relieved, but would be depressed.

"Lao Wuzi, go to the back! According to the rules, it's my turn."

"It's your turn, I came here first!"

"Come here and take care of your business first, you have to follow the rules..."

The quarrel between the two attracted the police again, "What are you doing? What are you arguing about?" The policeman looked at the two of them, bowed to Leng Feng and said, "Oh, sir, these two are just doing this for you."

We are fighting for money, why don't you hire two cars? I see you are bringing one with you..." As he said that, he looked at Ren Dong.

Leng Feng could only say: "Okay, okay, let's go to Wuchang to camp."

Along the way, Leng Feng didn't dare to move, for fear that if he moved, he would make the driver even more tired. Although they relied on this to survive, Leng Feng still couldn't bear it.

After arriving at the camp, Leng Feng gave them both a piece of ocean directly, because Leng Feng only had a piece of ocean left with him, and the rest were banknotes.

However, this piece of ocean also made the two coachmen tangled for a while. After all, they had to break through it. But even if they bought two watts, they might not be able to find it.

"Lao Wuzi, how about this? Go buy a bottle of lotus white, make two meat pies, and divide the remaining money equally."

"Okay! I haven't eaten meat for a long time!"

………………………

After Leng Feng showed his ID, Ren Dong looked at Leng Feng's luggage on the spot, and Leng Feng was led by the soldiers to the office of the Wuchang camp director.

"Report! Leng Feng is here to report," the soldier reported.

Inside: "Let him in"

After Leng Feng entered, a very young man turned his back to him. There was a military coat hanging on a hanger, with the rank of general on it. The man turned around, and the corners of Leng Feng's mouth turned up involuntarily. This was Zhang Zuolin who was the most unpromising person.

He is a handsome boy, known as the handsome man of the Republic of China, and a real pretty boy. When it comes to the most handsome man in the Republic of China, Leng Feng thinks he is Premier Zhou when he was serving at the Whampoa Military Academy. There are photos in history textbooks. He is the most handsome.

"You are Leng Feng." Zhang Xueliang looked at Leng Feng.

Leng Feng really didn’t want to talk to him...
