When I returned to Baozhilin, there was a thirteenth aunt beside me.
Wu Dong actually has some thoughts about Aunt Thirteen.
Don't get it wrong, it's not about the male or female perspective, it's about the resources she has.
In this day and age, very few Chinese people can go to England, let alone have friends and connections there.
Even in the Republic of China, very few Chinese could go to England to study or do business.
Compared to the United States, which quietly cultivates pro-American people through the Boxer Indemnity, it is much less.
At this time, England represented the pinnacle of human civilization. Its industrial strength was quite strong and it was an out-and-out global hegemon.
As the scale of industries controlled by militia continued to grow, Wu Dong felt that it was time to introduce industrial equipment and expand production.
Among other things, shipments of various drugs produced by Bao Zhilin that are suitable for the hot and humid environment in the south have begun to expand rapidly.
Traditional pharmaceutical workshops that rely solely on manual methods are beginning to be unable to keep up.
Before, he had some headaches about outsourcing channels. Now, unlike later, he didn't trust the British companies much and didn't want to be taken advantage of.
If Thirteenth Aunt was willing to match up, she would probably save a lot of wasted money.
Of course, this is just Wu Dong's idea. Whether it can be realized depends on the subsequent communication with Aunt Thirteen.
Following Huang Feihong back to Baozhilin, he unexpectedly met Liang Kuan who wanted to become his disciple.
Different from the plot of the movie, there are several young people from the militia group here in Baozhilin helping to take care of it. Naturally, there will be no funny scene in the plot of the movie when Liang Kuan comes to Baozhilin for the first time.
At this time, Yacasu was also having a headache negotiating with the British official agencies. How could he be in the mood to pay attention to the funny Liang Kuan?
Besides, if you want to find someone to practice medical skills, there are many militia camps, so why bother using Bao Zhilin’s famous reputation to trouble an unfamiliar outsider?
There were young people from the militia group helping to entertain him, but Liang Kuan did not jump out of trouble, but quietly waited for Huang Feihong's return, and directly made a request to become his disciple.
Huang Feihong did not agree directly. After asking about Liang Kuan's specific situation, he asked Liang Kuan to join the vigilante group and train for a period of time. If he performed well, he would be able to earn Bao Zhilin.
Speaking of which, not everyone can come in to Baozhilin now.
The main ones were the few pharmaceutical workshops with the Bao Zhilin signboard, which at this time had become one of the main financial sources of the militia.
Even if Huang Feihong is not very sensitive to money, he still has to consider the thoughts of the people in the militia and has strengthened restrictions and management on entering Baozhilin and pharmaceutical workshops.
In Liang Kuan's case, it was impossible to enter Baozhilin directly.
At the same time, this guy bluntly said that he had little money and needed to work part-time to make ends meet. If he was an impure person, he might suspect that the reason why this guy wanted to be apprenticed to Huang Feihong was to make money by working in a pharmaceutical workshop.
"Meixian Liang Kuan!"
After Huang Feihong finished handling Liang Kuan's matter, Wu Dong jumped out and said with a smile: "Do you still recognize me?"
"Who are you?"
Liang Kuan agreed to join the militia and his livelihood was guaranteed. He was relieved when he suddenly saw Wu Dong jumping out with a confused look on his face.
I just think Wu Dong looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen him before.
No way, Wu Dong has eaten well, drank well, and exercised well in the past few months, and his height and body have changed dramatically, and his face has also changed a lot.
Wu Dong chuckled and said the name of the town where he had stayed before, as well as the date when he met Liang Kuan. He believed that this guy would not forget it easily.
Sure enough, Liang Kuan showed a look of surprise, pointed at Wu Dong and shouted: "It turns out it's you!"
It’s only been so long, how can I not have an impression?
In particular, this was a case where he acted bravely, and ended up asking the person who acted bravely to solve the problem, which left a deep impression on him.
"Why are you here?"
Liang Kuan asked in surprise: "Could it be that you also want to become Master Huang's disciple?"
Wu Dong chuckled and shook his head, not wanting to say more about what happened in the original town.
It's not that I'm worried about the Huang family, the squire bully there, causing trouble. The power and tentacles of the vigilante group have already spread over there.
Under his secret instructions, the Huang family was tortured a lot.
Maybe they might be in ruins, so how could they care about Wu Dong and his little beggars?
"Why, have you known each other before?"
Seeing this, Huang Feihong said with a smile: "It's better to do this naturally..."
"We had a chance encounter!"
Wu Dong chuckled and briefly recounted what happened in the small town.
Seeing Huang Feihong's expression of admiration, he said: "Liang Kuan is good, Master Huang, take a good look!"
After speaking, Chong Liangkuan explained: "I am a member of the militia, but I have not become a disciple of Bao Zhilin!"
This little episode passed quickly, and Liang Kuan was sent away.
Speaking of which, when this guy saw Thirteenth Aunt, he looked so shocked and dumbfounded that it really didn't look very pleasant.
At least, it can be seen that Huang Feihong is unhappy.
Haha, spring is here, and it’s the annual mating season...
Wu Dong also took the initiative to leave. He had to keep an eye on the Admiral of Guangdong Province to prevent this guy from causing anything. The militia still didn't know, so they were passive.
When necessary, he wouldn't mind teaching this guy a lesson to let him know who is the real boss in Foshan.
Sometimes, when dealing with such a guy, it's useless to just be reasonable. You have to show your strength by showing off your muscles.
The days that followed returned to the previous rhythm.
Huang Feihong was also a talented person. He and Yacasu were busy dealing with the injured fishermen all day long without the beauty of Aunt Thirteen.
I don’t know if it was the reaction of the British official agency in Guangzhou that aroused the dissatisfaction and indignation in my heart. Huang Feihong’s master and apprentice seemed to be at odds with each other, and they entangled relentlessly.
It can only be said that it is fortunate that the official representative of England in the Qing Dynasty at this time did not have the status of the Supreme Emperor, and with the status bonus of Huang Feihong, a local celebrity in Foshan, otherwise I am afraid that he would have been left out long ago. It is really not a joke.
There was no need for the other party to open his mouth. Naturally, there were those who wanted to be the compradors, and they directly targeted Huang Feihong and Bao Zhilin.
Here, Thirteenth Aunt was wandering around Foshan City with an old antique camera.
Fortunately, most of the forces in the city knew that she lived in Baozhilin and did not dare to neglect her easily. Otherwise, who knows what would happen.
There are militia groups to maintain order, and at least the public security situation in Foshan City is pretty good.
On the other hand, Liang Kuan, who had entered the militia camp, always wanted to come out and wander around. Unfortunately, the militia camp was not a place where he could just go in and come out whenever he wanted.
Wu Dong's eyes were temporarily attracted to an American merchant ship. The behavior of the owner of the merchant ship was really too familiar...
