Chapter 2 Nanjing

 "Brother Lin, Brother Lin, don't sleep, aren't we going out today?"

"Stop shaking, get up, get up." Lin Mo said as he got up from the bed, looked to the side, and saw his little boy Yang Haicheng waiting for him there. It was strange to say that Lin Mo traveled to this body

Not only did the body inherit the memory of this body, but also the emotions were inherited. It was as if he had lived here with this body, and he did not have a sense of familiarity with the relatives and friends here. This was convenient for him.

Well integrated into this world.

"Ah Hai, what are you doing? Isn't it your day off today? Why are you getting up so early?"

Yang Haicheng and I were admitted to the Infantry Department together, Ji Feng was admitted to the Artillery Department, and my cousin Lin Wengui was admitted to the Transport Department.

"Brother Lin, didn't you say last time that you wanted to take a walk in Nanjing during your break? Why don't you want to move again?"

After Yang Haicheng said it, Lin Mo finally remembered the invitation he casually accepted a few days ago. At that time, because he had just arrived in this world, everything was so strange and he felt uneasy, so he casually agreed.

"Go, go, I just didn't react right away. By the way, where are the others? I remember Li Changwu and Zhao Pingnian are also going out together?"

Li Changwu and Zhao Pingnian are both Lin Mo's roommates and good brothers in the military academy. Li Changwu is about the same height as Lin Mo, almost 1.75 meters tall. He is from Jiangxi. Zhao Pingnian is from Guangdong and is 1.8 meters tall.

Yang Haicheng is a little taller than Lin Mo, at 1.78 meters.

"They just got up and are washing their faces in the bathroom." After he said that, I quickly got up and picked up the towel and basin and walked to the bathroom. On the way, I met Li Changwu and Zhao Pingnian. As they walked back, Lin Mo hurried to the bathroom.

Go.

After washing their faces, they returned to the dormitory, dressed in military uniforms, and walked toward the door together. When they arrived at the school gate, they showed their student ID cards to the staff on duty, saluted each other with a military salute, and walked out.

Because it is a military school, students' access to the school is restricted. The streets do not have the bustling scenery like those around later universities, but there are still some small shops around, all run by local families.

"Let's go to Old Man Zheng's place and have breakfast. Every day in the military academy, I almost lose my temper." Yang Haicheng said.

Lin Mo thought of the breakfast at Old Man Zheng's house and said quickly: "Let's go, I'll treat you to this meal today."

Although the food in military academies is not unpalatable, and in this era, the food in military academies is extremely good, but if you eat the same food every day, no matter how delicious it is, you will not be bored for a long time.<

/p>

Everyone quickly walked into a breakfast shop on the street. The breakfast shop was only on the first floor and there was no sign outside. Even so, it was still full of people, most of whom were military cadets who were on leave.

Yang Haicheng led Lin Mo and the others inside, saying hello to people he knew. After a while, he walked into the courtyard of the small courtyard. There was a stone table in the courtyard and some stone chairs around it.

Several people hurried over and sat down.

"You are here, what are you going to eat today?" A silver-haired old man came out of the kitchen and said.

"Old man Zheng, have one as usual." Yang Haicheng said to the old man.

Old Man Zheng’s real name was Zheng Changhua. His eldest son stayed with him at home to run a breakfast restaurant, and his second son was doing business in Shanghai. I heard that Old Man Zheng was the private chef of a high-ranking official in Nanjing in the late Qing Dynasty. Later, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the high-ranking official also fell.

, he had nowhere to go, and finally went home and opened a breakfast restaurant. Of course, Lin Mo and the others believed that he didn't want to go.

"Brother Lin, Brother Yang, your breakfast is here."

"Okay, put it down quickly, we are all starving to death." Yang Haicheng said to Old Man Zheng's grandson.

Old Man Zheng’s grandson is called Zheng Wenxiang, and he is now in junior high school. Lin Mo and Yang Haicheng will come to his house for breakfast whenever they have the chance to go out on weekends, and they have become familiar with this boy over time.

"Okay, I'll deliver it right away." In a short while, the table was filled with all kinds of meals, including steamed dumplings, fried dough sticks, meat porridge, rice dumplings and various pastries.

When Lin Mo and his party saw that the food was all served, they started eating immediately.

Lin Mo first took a few mouthfuls of meat porridge, which was full of delicious aroma. It tasted like the soup was made by adding fish and mutton bones, and then added the best rice and fresh meat to cook the porridge.

Lin Mo picked up a small steamed bun and put it into his mouth. He bit it lightly and the soup flowed into his tongue. The whole mouth was filled with the taste of juice. He picked up the rice dumpling and unwrapped the outer leaves. A strong smell of ham rushed into his nose.

, but does not cause discomfort, the ham is the famous Jinhua ham in later generations.

Taking one bite makes you want to swallow it whole. The other pastries have their own characteristics. They are sweet but not greasy, soft but not loose, which makes your mouth full.

All the delicacies on the table were wiped clean.

After eating and drinking enough, they didn't want to move anymore and started talking. Lin Mo said to Yang Haicheng: "Where are we going today?"

"Why, you are not going to the library today." Li Changwu asked from the side.

"I won't go. I used to go to the library almost every time I went out. I didn't even know the way around Nanjing. Today I will go shopping with you."

The library Lin Mo is talking about is a library in Hongwu District, Nanjing. The library contains various books and foreign news newspapers, and even newspapers shipped from foreign countries. Lin Mo used to like these things, and Lin Mo also

A lot of useful information about this world was obtained from his memory.

"Then why don't we go to Zhongshan Road? The three of us haven't been there for a long time." Zhao Pingnian asked.

Lin Mo didn't hesitate and replied directly: "Okay, last time I went with you for a short walk and then came back. This time I have to go shopping. There are a lot of good things over there, but I have to go first.

Let’s go to Uncle Lou.”

The Uncle Lou in Lin Mo's mouth was the person in charge of the Lin family's industry in Nanjing. His name was Lou Shaoguang. He turned out to be the Lin family's housekeeper. He had taken care of Lin Mo's brothers and sisters since they were young. A few years ago, Lin Mo sneaked out and entered the military academy.

, Lin Mo’s parents were worried, so they asked Lou Shaoguang to come over to take care of the industry and Lin Mo. Lin Mo would visit Lou Shaoguang every time he came out.

Yang Haicheng asked: "That's no problem, but do you have to change your clothes when going to Zhongshan Road? Otherwise it won't be fun."

"Yeah, it's not that big around the school. There are a lot of people in military uniforms anyway, but when we get to Zhongshan Road, it's too conspicuous. Let's go back and change our clothes first."

Li Changwu also turned around to remind Lin Mo. Lin Mo then thought about it, yes, they were the only ones wearing military uniforms on a whole street, and that was too conspicuous.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo said: "There's no need to go back and change. Our clothes have been left there for a long time and are almost getting moldy. Let's go to Uncle Lou's clothing store to buy a new one. Then let the clerk deliver the military uniforms."

Go to Old Man Zheng and keep it here. Let’s come back from Zhongshan Road and take it back to the military academy.”

Military academies are different from ordinary schools. They have less time to go out of school, so there are naturally fewer opportunities to wear casual clothes. Casual clothes can sometimes be left out for several months. In this era, military academy students basically have few opportunities to wear casual clothes. Lin Mo and others

It was only this year that I finished learning various tactics, physical fitness, and firearms, and shifted my focus to academic courses such as command, so I had so many opportunities to attend military academies.

"Old man Zheng, let's leave. The money is on the table for you." Lin Mo said and took out a silver dollar and put it on the table. They got up and walked out.

Yang Haicheng looked back at the silver dollar and said with a heartache: "Old Zheng's stuff is really expensive. Every time I come here, I feel pain for a long time."

Lin Mo and the other three looked at him with disdain. He was the one who ate the most and fastest just now.

"It's not expensive. You don't even look at the ingredients, but you haven't saved anything. Besides, we're not the kind of people who can't afford it."

What Lin Mo said is not unreasonable. They study in the military academy and receive subsidies every month. After excluding the food expenses in the military academy, each person can still have a subsidy of more than 20 yuan per month. In the school

Since there is no place to spend money, many people will choose to have a few good meals after leaving school.

Don't think that twenty yuan is not much. In this era, ordinary people can earn five to ten yuan a month. This is enough to cover the expenses of a family. For ordinary people, twenty yuan is considered a huge sum of money.

.

A few people left Old Man Zheng's breakfast shop and walked towards the street intersection in front. When they arrived at the street intersection, Lin Haicheng waved to the rickshaw driver across the street, and several rickshaw drivers quickly pulled the car over.

"Boss Lin, do you still want to go to the library?" an older rickshaw driver asked Lin Mo.

"If we don't go to the library today, Lao Huang, just take us to Lin's Trading House in Shi Granny Lane."

"Okay, Boss Lin, please sit down quickly."

After saying that, he quickly wiped the seat cushion and invited Lin Mo to get on. Lin Haicheng and others also got into other rickshaws, and the driver quickly pulled them into the car and walked forward.

The man who pulled Lin Mo was called Huang Haisheng. He was a native of Nanjing. He had been pulling rickshaws for more than ten years. He often pulled people in this area, and he got to know Lin Mo as soon as he went back and forth.
