Chapter 59 Let the police collect money to pay the bill

The way to Dalian is only possible.

The two knew the approximate location, found the train lane to the south, and began to follow the railway.

It is impossible to walk on the railway. The Japanese road guard team has horse teams, so they can only walk on the train lane far away.

Fortunately, it is winter, rivers, shrubs and weeds are blocking the road, and the crops can also pass through directly.

By the afternoon of the next day, the two of them had lost their dry food and were always walking in the snow in the wild, and they were all cold. They also needed to find a hot place to warm their lower body. It was best to drink some hot soup and boiled water. So they entered a town on the side of the railway and prepared to buy some dry food and drink some hot water.

Zhao Jingzhi had never entered a big car shop. She looked at a large courtyard with a square and crowded crowd, which was a bit novel.

The big car shop appeared in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. As the name suggests, a big car shop with large wheels and rubber wheels was set up next to the main traffic roads for about 40 miles.

This distance is about half a day for a heavy carriage, which makes it convenient for large cars to "play the tip" and spend the night on the way.

With the increase in customer flow, other transactions have been attracted, such as convenience stores, taverns, blacksmith furnaces, carpenter shops, hemp rope shops, etc. The more people gather, villages and market towns have been formed over time. Now, places named after shops in the northeast, such as Guojiadian, Wafangdian, Pulandian, etc., are based on the name of a car shop.

This big car shop has built a dirt house. The main room is a large open room with a large kang in the north and south. One kang can sleep about 20 people. There is a single room in the wing room.

There was a wooden table and several long benches at the door, and two washbasins, pancreas and towels were prepared. Pancreas was made by the store's store with pig pancreas and sheep pancreas and chili.

The big car shop generally has food, basically corn flour pancakes, big pancakes, and some eggplant and beans in summer. In winter, it mainly contains radish soup, cabbage and potato soup, and tofu are good dishes. It is also responsible for the hot rice that brings its own dry food. The store gives a plate of pickles and a bowl of boiled water. The big car shop only charges accommodation fees, meal fees and forage fees, and the price is very cheap, and hot rice does not charge.

There are always red paper bans in front of the big car shops, which are used as signboards of the industry. There are not many people who know literacy in this era, and most people only recognize essays but not words. Generally, one store is hung in small stores, and three are hung in larger stores.

This habit has been maintained in the Northeast until now, but it has been hung in front of the hotel.

Wang Hong took Zhao Jingzhi into the yard of the big car shop. The two washed their faces and sat down in the lobby room.

The guy came up to ask what the two of you wanted, and Wang Hong said, "I'll see what you have." He went to the stove to pick up a pot of big pancakes that had just been cooked, and then personally made two big bowls of vegetable soup. He and Zhao Jingzhi and the other two got up in a silence.

Zhao Jingzhi was a little curious and asked Wang Hong how to do it himself?

Wang Hong told her: "Grandpa taught me this. No matter where you go, you must do it yourself if you can do it yourself." Grandpa's experience is because in the past, there were more black stores than normal stores. Any single or small families like them were easily fascinated.

Zhao Jingzhi was startled and looked around quickly. Wang Hong smiled and said, "There are not many black shops now, and we don't spend the night here, what are you afraid of?"

"Is there a single room here for overnight stay?" Zhao Jingzhi didn't think about spending the night, but saw that the big car shop was open, and he vaguely saw the long kangs, and asked.

"I don't know, I heard from my grandfather that men and women used to sleep on a kang."

Zhao Jingzhi couldn't believe it and opened her mouth wide: "This?"

Wang Hong couldn't help laughing and explained to Zhao Jingzhi in a low voice.

It turned out that the big car shop only received transport trucks and car owners at the beginning, but later, it also accepted some passers-by. As the number of immigrants increased, everyone came in to live.

At the beginning, the big car shop was filled with men and women. When female customers arrived, they arranged for female customers to hang a cloth curtain and send a urinal. Later, it was developed to separate the two and women, and there was a room dedicated to female customers.

The people living here are quite messy.

What are the people who run around the world and beggars? "Gold trade" are those who tell fortunes and set up fortunes and set up strange schools. "Han trade" sells medicine, street stalls, and plasters. "Eat clams" are those who talk about books and operas. "Han trade" are those who play tricks, monkeys, magic tricks (little magic), and shadow puppets. Beggars who pass by can also stay away from the wind and make do with them all night.

Bake a bowl of baking pots, peddlers who go to the village, those who are willing to have big leaves (resell local specialty products), and those who choose from the mountains (hite sellers who resell mountain goods).

Those who seek medical treatment or sue the lawsuit will prepare medicine pots for the former and issue a guarantee for the latter (those who collect money).

The black and white trajectories were even mixed in. The spy from the government and the bandits on the mountain died in the big cart shop. During the wandering of wild prostitutes, it can be said that the good show continues.

The big car shop is not opened by ordinary people. The shopkeeper not only has to deal with the black and white, but also has to understand everything from all walks of life.

Many times, when the Daluo bandits go down the mountain, the Dache Store will become a shelter for nearby people.

Zhao Jingzhi was listening with relish, and a few traitor police officers came into the car shop.

Seeing that they didn't carry guns, Wang Hong was like sitting down here to rest after get off work. As soon as he entered the door, he asked his friend to serve a few bowls of hot soup. He glanced at him disapprovingly, then ate himself and chatted with his wife.

But several policemen sat at the table not far away. As soon as they saw them clearly, two of them immediately stood up and the others looked over.

Wang Hong knew that a man and a woman were sitting here, especially Zhao Jingzhi, who appeared in this small place, was very eye-catching. Those who had read the wanted order would take a few more glances and they would meet the number.

I cursed in my heart, and I couldn't stop eating a hot meal.

Helplessly, he took out the big belly box inside the cotton jacket and shouted at several traitor policemen: "Come here! Sit at this table."

Several traitor policemen were startled by his throat. Seeing Wang Hong holding guns in his hands and looking at each other, they honestly moved over.

Wang Hong put the big belly box on the table and started eating. Seeing Zhao Jingzhi nervously grabbing the small pistol, he signaled her to eat first.

Several traitor policemen knew what was going on, put their hands on the table and sat honestly.

The owner of this big car shop saw that Wang Hong had picked up big cakes and made hot soup by himself, thinking that he was a familiar gangster. When he saw him sitting with a gun and several local policemen, he knew that this was a bit big, so he ran over immediately to maintain the scene.

Wang Hong knew that he wanted to come over to reconcile the people, so he said, "Shopkeeper, sit down and chat."

The shop owner was stunned when he saw the big belly box placed on the table and looked at Wang Hong and Zhao Jingzhi's faces carefully.

He has a relationship with the underworld, the bandits and police, but he can't get along with the people on the wanted order.

Even if I see it, I just think that it’s better to have more things than to have less things, and I think that I haven’t seen it. But this time, even he and these traitors and police officers were detained on this table.

Seeing that the owner was holding a good soup maker, a porcelain thermos made of sauce-glazed porcelain, with ears and claws, Wang Hong thought of Zhao Jingzhi being blown by the wind in the wild, so he said to the owner: "Shopkeeper, give this soup maker to me."

The shop owner put the sour girl in his hand on the table and pushed it over. He was speechless. How poor is he? Even a sour girl wants it?

Tang Pozi is an old item used by ordinary people in the north to keep heating. Later, because of the many methods of heating and the popularity of hot water bags, it was rare.

Wang Hong had no choice. He couldn't figure out what it would take to walk in the wild. Anyway, he would make one for his wife when he saw it.

Zhao Jingzhi took this Tang Po-zi and saw the appearance of several traitor policemen and the shop owner, and laughed in her heart. The police without guns were so honest.

After the two finished eating, they happened to see the guy pouring water for the thermos (Northeast dialect milk pot) in the big car shop. Wang Hong did it all the time and asked the owner to give the iron thermos to him.

The owner agreed happily. He only hoped that Wang Hong and his wife would leave quickly and not use guns here for some trivial matters, let alone kill people here.

But Wang Hong sat there and asked these traitor police to help him pay the money.

Several traitors and policemen had a bitter face and started to make up money from you and I was two corners.

In this era, police were not a high-income profession, and were paid lower than workers with a little skill across the country.

Like these traitors and policemen, including those who were not traitors, they only had 10 yuan a month for Fengyang. If they didn’t even have gray income, it would be enough for a bachelor to eat and live, and they would not be able to support their families at all.

A hot pot costs 1 yuan to make a big buck, and the soup and Wang Hong and his friends eat and get a big cake. With just this little money, it was extremely difficult for several traitors and policemen to make up.
