The engraver took a large piece of paper from a large table and put it into the machine. As soon as he pressed the switch, the machine suddenly roared and rotated back and forth. In the blink of an eye, the large piece of paper slipped out of the machine again.
The engraver placed the large paper on the table and motioned for Deng Baoguang and others to come over and take a look.
They were all a little nervous, so they walked over slowly and carefully observed the big piece of paper.
Printed on the large paper is a ten-yuan banknote issued by Nanjing Huaxing Commercial Bank in 1938. The face of the note is purple-red, with the seal script of "Huaxing Commercial Bank" on it, and the black and white of Jiezhuang Temple in Xiyuan, Suzhou below.
In the image, there are the regular characters of "Shi Yuan" in the tuan flowers on both sides.
Deng Baoguang placed a genuine coin next to him. Gong Binsheng picked up a magnifying glass and compared it carefully.
He observed it for a long time and finally raised his head and said: "There may be a small difference, but ordinary people won't notice it!"
He asked the engraver, "Is this good?"
The engraver smiled and said: "Look, there is a serial number on the real coin. It is only three digits. I want to add this serial number."
He opened a small box, which contained number stamps from 0 to 9. He selected three stamps, merged them together, then carefully measured the size with a ruler, and stamped them with numbers.
This job seemed very simple, but it was the most laborious and took almost half an hour to complete.
In the last step, he placed the large paper on the table of the paper cutter, still carefully measured it with a ruler, and then gently cut it. After another half an hour, the work was completed. He put the cut banknotes into separate pieces.
Delivered to Gong Binsheng and others.
They all used magnifying glasses to carefully observe the difference between the real and fake banknotes.
At this time, Deng Baoguang asked the engraver a question: "This banknote is very new and can easily be suspected. Is there any way you can make it look older?"
The sculptor seemed to have thought of this problem a long time ago. He smiled and pointed to the far wall.
Only then did Gong Binsheng and others notice that there was a very strange thing placed under the wall. It was woven with No. 8 wire, an iron cage as big as an oil drum, fixed horizontally on an iron shelf, and there was a rocker at one end of the cage.
!
The sculptor walked over, reached out and lifted it, and there was a trap door on the cage.
He smiled and said: "After the printed banknotes are cut, they are scattered and placed in this cage, and then the crank is shaken to make the banknotes tumble in the cage. The longer it is shaken, the older the banknotes inside are! This
The proportion can only be decided by your superiors. Finally, when shaking, sprinkle a little bit of fine coal ash on top to make it more real!"
Gong Binsheng and others couldn't help but laugh and nodded to each other.
Zhai Zhenchuan said: "I don't think there is any problem with this old look! No one looks at it so carefully! Brother Binsheng, print a batch for me first! I happen to have someone to go there to purchase! This can be used!"
Gong Binsheng looked at him with a smile, but said nothing.
Zhai Zhenchuan also smiled and whispered: "You two, the three of us are one! I will never forget you! Trust me!"
At this time, Gong Binsheng and Deng Baoguang both laughed and nodded knowingly to each other.

After two days of rest, the kids from the Money Gang resumed their delivery business.
They worked in groups of three, with the one in front exploring the route and the two behind carrying the goods and recovered money.
The amount of money and goods in the cloth bag was very large, and it would be a serious matter to be robbed! Therefore, they were very cautious and kept their eyes wide open when walking on the road!
An Jiang quickly integrated with the other children, delivering goods with them, and running around on the mountain roads of Chongqing every day.
Having food to eat and a house to live in is the most stable life for him and his sister! However, occasionally, he will think of what Uncle Li said. Uncle Li said, someone will definitely look for you! Give this thing to your own people.
!
The thing Uncle Li gave him was wrapped in cloth and tied to his belt.
He only knew that it was a seal, but he couldn't understand the words on it!
Now he is in this small gang, delivering goods and collecting payments for various cigarette shops. How can the people Uncle Li mentioned as his own find me and my sister? This is the biggest question in his heart!

Xiaoyan is still the same as before, serving as a hostage in Fucheng Warehouse in Liangtingzi Lane!
This job was quite boring. She could only help the packaging masters and beat the cut cigarettes into rectangular strips to pass the time. But it was this boring job that made her hear an extremely important news!
She hit the cigarette rod with a wooden hammer and asked casually: "Master, do you work here every day without taking a break?"
The master laughed heartily, "Miss Xiaoyan, do you think those who smoke will stop smoking for a day?"
"Of course not. They have to suck the ground every day. If they don't suck, they can't live."
"It's still the same. So, we have to do this here every day."
"Oh, you guys are really working hard, and you don't have a day off."
"This job has two styles: loose and tight." The packaging master said gently and casually.
"Do you have two different looks?"
"If Mr. Du is here, we will be busier. If Mr. Du is not here, we will be more relaxed."
"Isn't Mr. Du here every day?"
"That's not the case. During the Chinese New Year, he always goes home to visit his mother. Can't you tell, he is still a filial son."
Xiaoyan banged the cigarette stick and asked casually: "He won't be able to stay home for long."
The master also pounded his cigarette stick and said: "If you leave in the morning on New Year's Eve, you will be home in the afternoon. Come back in the morning on the fifth day of the lunar month and go to Boss Zhao's house in the evening to celebrate the New Year. He is very accurate in his calculations. He does this every year."
Xiaoyan sighed and said, "So, I have to stay here during the Chinese New Year?"
The master said: "Except for the New Year's Eve when you can leave early and go home to celebrate the New Year, you have to be busy here every day on the other days!"
Xiaoyan let out a long lament, and immediately lost her mood. She threw down the wooden hammer and said, "I won't make it past the new year, so I won't work anymore!"
After she finished speaking, she walked aside, sat on the wooden box, and soon fell asleep leaning on her side!
The packaging masters continued to do their own business. They looked at the frustrated Xiaoyan and just smiled. They could not tell that Xiaoyan, who was lying on the wooden box, was spinning like a speeding car!

At night, five people, Xiaoyan, Mazi, Erju, Daguan and Beikeyingzi, squatted in the dark bushes, face to face, and could feel each other's breathing, discussing in low voices. Xiaoyan heard it from Fucheng Warehouse.
news!
"He will leave on the morning of New Year's Eve!"
"I won't come back until the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year!"
"It's not good on the fifth day of the lunar month! He might come to the warehouse!"
"There are five days between the 30th and the 4th day of the Lunar New Year!"
"Five days! Five days is enough...Mom, it's a big ticket!"
"We must do it! We must do it! We must do it!" This is the excited voice of Keiyingzi!
"Of course I have to do it! Don't give me another chance like this!" This was Xiaoyan's voice, although it was very low.
The voices of their discussion gradually became lower! The five people with ten eyes were all looking around! To be honest, even after discussing like this for a while, they were frightened! They were afraid that others would hear what they said!
Xiaoyan finally said: "A trace of wind is exposed! A trace of wind is exposed! None of us will survive!"
Those few people stared at each other in the dark with sparkling eyes, even flashing green light!
Finally, they nodded vigorously to each other, stood up slowly, and carefully looked around!

The action plan formulated by Xiaoyan was implemented quietly step by step, and no one could see any traces!
In the first step, she suddenly took her brother and An Xiang to Fucheng Warehouse as hostages!
In the evening, when Mr. Du came to collect money, he saw two children walking around and playing in the warehouse, so he asked: "Miss Xiaoyan, why did you think of bringing some tricks to the store?"
Xiaoyan sighed, "Oh, grandma is not feeling well. She needs to go to bed. I have no choice but to bring you some thiamine. There is nothing I can do."
Mr. Du said: "This is a warehouse, it's not good to have children here!"
Xiaoyan said: "I also hope that grandma will get well soon. Sir, it is quite tiring to take care of a child."
In the second step, she suddenly brought a large cardboard box and placed it in a corner of the warehouse.
When she opened the box, she took out her brother's quilt and pillow. There were also her brother's milk bottle, diapers, small clothes, and even toys in the box. The box was placed in the corner, but it was not conspicuous.
At noon, she used two wooden boxes to build a small bed for her brother, spread a quilt on it, put pillows on it, and let him take a nap.
She said: "Axiang, please guard your brother and don't let him fall."
So An Xiang sat down next to his younger brother and patted him gently, but his big eyes turned around.
The third step was that one afternoon, when Mr. Du came to collect money again, Xiaoyan said with a smile: "Sir, I help the master make cigarette sticks every day, can you give me a salary? I also do the work, but
Good?"
Mr. Du smiled slyly and said, "Miss Xiaoyan, you regard this place as a kindergarten, so why don't I charge you childcare fees? Do you think I should charge you childcare fees?"
Xiaoyan laughed loudly and shouted: "Oh, Mr. Du, you are so weird! You asked me to sit here and there is nothing I can do! Grandma is getting older. It feels uncomfortable here today and will feel uncomfortable there tomorrow.
I have no choice but to bring my younger brothers and sisters here! You want to charge me childcare fees, and you are so unreasonable!"
Mr. Du laughed happily and felt that it was quite happy to tease this little girl!
The fourth step is actually smoke.
One day, Xiaoyan suddenly pointed to a few wooden strips under the wall and said, "Sir, how good are these small pieces of wood for me?"
Du Wancai asked: "What do you want these wooden strips to do?"
Xiaoyan said: "There are so many of us, but the wooden house is always crowded! I just want to set up a small kitchen outside the door so that I can cook some food myself. It will save a lot of money than buying food outside."
Mr. Du, how are you?"
Du Wancai saw that now that these children have money, they want to live a more prosperous life.
