Chapter 121: The Day the Fish Leaps Over the Dragon Gate
In the evening, Chen Baoxiang pretended to go out for a walk and went to the alley next to him.
Master Feng's people had clean hands and feet, and not a drop of blood was left on the ground.
As long as he doesn't let go of what happened today, no one will know anymore.
The three children came back and the family of five had dinner by the light of the lamp.
As soon as Chen Baoxiang sat down, someone knocked on the front door. It turned out to be a restaurant on Furong Street. The waiter sent four dishes and one soup over and asked Chen Baoxiang to try the dishes.
The waiter carried the food box to the north room, placed the plate on the table, and said goodbye.
When the three children saw the delicious food, they jumped up and down with joy and threw aside the steamed buns in their hands.
The four dishes are braised prawns, braised three-cup chicken, soft-fried five-spice crispy pork, and fried duck egg yolk with vermicelli. They are full of color, aroma and taste. The crispy pork is also hot in your mouth. The waiter must have trotted all the way to deliver it.
of.
The soup is a seafood eight-treasure stewed with delicacies from the mountains. It uses the finest mushrooms from the Northeast and the best eight-treasures from Jiaodong seafood. The taste is extremely fresh and refreshing.
Chuanwu didn't have time to pick up chopsticks, so he grabbed two small pieces of crispy meat and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice, stretched his neck and swallowed it.
"Slow down, slow down, no one is grabbing it, slow down!"
Liu Yue'e was also happy, patted Chuanwu on the back, and shed tears as soon as she lowered her head.
Xiu'er quickly took out her handkerchief and wiped Liu Yuee's tears.
"Our old Chen family... our family finally has the day of leaping over the dragon's gate. Some people send money, some people bring food, we have face, and we have status... The day when our Chen family has prospered and prospered, and our ancestors are honored is coming soon, it's coming soon
…”
Chen Baoxiang smiled. He was like a big tree, sheltering the family.
When its branches and leaves are dancing and it is prosperous, the whole family will be glorious.
Therefore, he must work hard to let the whole family see hope.
The three children had big appetites, and by the end of the meal, all four dishes and one soup were gone.
Chuanwu patted his bulging belly, still not satisfied: "Dad, just now you said that major restaurants are inviting you to try the dishes. From now on, people will bring food every day, right? Can we order some food? I want to eat braised pork.
Xiu'er also shouted: "I want to eat eight-treasure chestnut chicken, sweet and sour pork loin and eight-treasure rice with green and red silk noodles."
Just passing the news, listening to the screams of his younger brothers and sisters, smiling and helping Liu Yuee clear the dishes, he always looks like a big brother.
After dinner, he sent a message to Chen Baoxiang: "Dad, there are many Japanese on the shelf today. They are surrounded by an old man wearing glasses, and there are two foreigners with red hair and blue eyes next to them. These people are accompanied by several translators.
, pointing at the goods table. I probably listened to a few words. What they meant was that Jinan is a good place. It is not cold in winter and is warmer than other places. It is suitable for experiments. The laboratory should have been moved to Jinan a long time ago.
.”
Chen Baoxiang was shocked. Even Chengbi and Gu Lanchun had said that the Japanese were trying to place the bacteria laboratory in Jinan, with Jinan as the core, and target North China, East China, South China, and Southwest China to become a bacteria manufacturing center.
As long as the laboratory is established, wherever the wind reaches, humans and animals will die, and they will all die from toxic bacteria.
"Dad, when the Japs and foreigners came to inspect, they were followed by many of their top brass. The Japs' high-ranking officials were very satisfied with the goods and praised them repeatedly. They also said that the guns, ammunition, uniforms and rations transported in the twelfth and first months of the twelfth lunar month helped support the two lakes.
, on the battlefields of Guangdong and Guangxi, we fought several victorious battles in succession, eradicating all the underground organizations of the Southern Army and the Eighth Front Army in Wuhan, Changsha, and Guangzhou."
Chen Baoxiang's mood gradually became depressed. The better the cargo platform worked, the stronger the Japanese forces became and the crazier they suppressed the Chinese army.
"Dad, do you know? The Flying Tigers are out there in Zaozhuang. They are so powerful. They are all sharpshooters and Scuds. They pick up trains along the railway line and steal whatever they see. Last time, there was a car loaded with guns.
Ammunition, more than 400 wooden boxes, not a single one left."
Chen Baoxiang heard these things discussed by old customers. The members of the Flying Tigers are all from Weishan Lake. Except for sharpshooters and scuds, all of them are water ghosts.
The Japanese pursued and encircled them several times, but when they arrived at Weishan Lake, they were helpless.
They once drove a motorboat into Weishan Lake to arrest people, but the boat capsized and no one was left alive.
According to the common people, the little devil ran rampant in China and angered the mountain gods, earth gods, and water gods, who were all eaten alive by the Dragon King of Weishan Lake.
"Dad, you used to tell me stories about the heroes of Liangshan who were flooded with water. Isn't this Weishan Lake another Liangshan that was flooded with water?"
Chen Baoxiang shook his head: "Of course Weishan Lake is not possible. If the Japanese are surrounded from all sides, the Flying Tigers cannot stay in the water all day. It only takes half a month to be trapped to death. Liangshan Lake has mountains and water, and there are dangers to defend.
, Only then can you become famous in the world."
He was with Chuanwen and told these historical anecdotes that his son could listen to them, which made him very happy.
"Dad, our family is going to open a restaurant. Even the heads of the store know about it. The two heads of the Chen family congratulated me individually and hoped that I would be able to fly into the sky and take care of them more. Mother was right just now, our Chen family
The day will come when the fish leaps over the dragon's gate!"
Chuanwen was holding a tea bowl with a smile on his face, full of longing for the future.
In the next two days, just as Chuanwu thought, the restaurant would send someone to deliver food every dinner.
The family had never received such preferential treatment, and at first they were a little ashamed, feeling that they had not received any reward for their efforts.
Later, when I ate more smoothly, I became happier and happier, and I forgot about the shame.
On the seventh day, Bi Gong sent someone over, bringing with him a few nimble women, who wiped the store from top to bottom, and then brought four three-foot-square, two-foot-high wooden boxes to the east side of the store.
A small stage was built next to the wall.
A banner hangs above the stage, with the words "We sincerely welcome Mr. Funakoshi to Jinan for guidance" written in Chinese and Japanese.
Chen Baoxiang looked awkward, but there was nothing he could do.
This was a church meeting arranged by Bi Gong himself, and he just borrowed the venue of Rice Shop.
Chen Baoxiang didn't know the identity of Mr. Funakoshi, but Bi Gong attached so much importance to him that he must be a big shot who kept his word.
When Xiuer came back from bloodletting, she saw the banner and immediately read it out in Chinese and Japanese.
Liu Yue'e was surprised and grabbed Xiu'er's hand: "Daughter, can you even speak Japanese?"
"Mom, sir, he has been teaching us to speak simple Japanese since last year. I usually don't speak it because I am afraid that my father will be unhappy. Now I have learned more than a hundred Japanese sentences, and I can speak them frequently."
She held Liu Yue'e's hand and said more than a dozen Japanese sentences in a row, all simple sentences such as "Hello, good morning, have you eaten? The weather is nice, thank you."
Liu Yue'e was so happy that she nodded her head repeatedly and couldn't close her mouth: "I, Xiu'er, am still smart, and I'm good enough to go to school. Study hard and learn all Japanese, so we won't be bullied by the Japanese devils."
Chen Baoxiang listened on the side with very complicated emotions.
He hates the Japanese Japs, and now he has to mediate with the Japs and traitors in exchange for temporary peace for his family. Looking back on this period of history in the future, I'm afraid it will be very unbearable.
After the stage was set up, Bi Gong went to the door alone and inspected it repeatedly, meticulously.
"Boss Chen, I have another unkind request at that time. I have to ask your whole family to stay away. Leave no one idle between the front door and the back door. How about that?"
Chen Baoxiang could only agree and let Bi Gong be at his mercy.
After completing the inspection, I was very satisfied and sat down to drink tea.
Chen Baoxiang took a chance and asked with a smile: "Uncle Bi, two cooks from Jinan that day, one named Ma and the other named Zhang, were taken away by your people. Can you help me and put them back together?"
"
Bi Gong laughed: "Boss Chen, how come you started imitating others to meddle in other people's business? Those two people didn't know how to praise me. They first disrespected me, entered the Luoyuan Mansion, and then imitated Yue Wumu, who would rather bend than bend, rather die than surrender, and shouted
Give me back my land and rivers, and imitate the hunger strike of loyal ministers and filial sons..."
"Uncle Bi, they are just cooks, not bad people. Can you show your kindness and give them a way to survive?"
Bi Gong looked at Chen Baoxiang and nodded: "Okay, since you opened your mouth, I will let you go. These guys are just like stones in the pit - smelly and hard, and they have no brains to fight against the Japanese!"
Chen Baoxiang breathed a sigh of relief. It is better to untie enemies than to knot them. If he could rescue the two bosses Ma and Zhang, the knot in his heart was untied.
Bi Gong was drinking tea in the shop, and the regular customers passed by the door, took a sneak peek, and quickly hid away.
"Boss Chen, look at these people outside. They are timid and timid. They deserve to be trampled under their feet. You are different from them. You are really capable and can stand on the stage. Otherwise, why would Boss Tian cooperate with you?"
Chen Baoxiang smiled and humbled himself: "Thank you, Uncle Bi, for the compliment. By the way, restaurants have been sending food here these days, saying they are trying the dishes. Our Jinan is a Shandong cuisine nest, and others may not be good, but we must use Shandong cuisine."
If you have a dish to welcome your guests, you’ve made the right choice.”
"Yes, I told them early in the morning that whose Shandong cuisine is authentic, the royal army's high-end banquets in Jinan will be given to this family in the future. On the surface, they are preparing for this banquet, but they are actually aiming for the future.
Big business. Boss Chen, these restaurant owners are all smart people, you should also learn from it - "
As he was talking, Bi Gong suddenly raised his head and looked towards the roof across the street.
It was here that he had suffered losses from snipers several times.
Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years.
Even if a sparrow flies by, it will make him feel like he is facing a formidable enemy.
"Boss Chen, let me remind you once again that before Mr. Funakoshi arrives, you must take your family to avoid it. My people will guard the front and back doors to avoid accidents during the theater. By the way, I have not told you before.
Please explain clearly, Mr. Funakoshi came here with two Liyuan friends from Peiping, and he wants to perform here for his colleagues in the Japanese military headquarters in Jinan."
Somehow, when Bi Gong mentioned Peiping Liyuan, Chen Baoxiang thought of Gu Lanchun, the great Qing Yi.
Is there any connection between the two?
What he was most worried about was that the arrival of Japanese bigwigs in Jinan would trigger a wave of assassinations.
Of course Chen Baoxiang knew that the Japanese would not give the enemy a chance.
Anyone who assassinates him will die.
Therefore, the big event of blood-stained rice shop is about to happen...
