Chapter 8 The first shopping in the Republic of China entered the city
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Min had been in the base area for almost two months, and it was now the end of December. Since there is less than a month to go to the Chinese New Year's Eve, the base needs to go to the city to purchase a batch of materials, and when he heard that he was going to the city, Zhou Min was very excited, and he bravely went to the regiment commander in the hope that he could go down the mountain to have a look.
The head of the regiment considered that there was a certain danger of going down the mountain, so he asked the injured Huzi to protect them, and only sent Huzi alone because he was worried about the large number of people and the big target.
This time the leader of the team is Sister Zhang, she is the director of the Women's Federation, in addition to her, there are Huzi, plus Zhou Min and Xiaoxue, three women and one man, when the sky is just hazy, they packed up and went down the mountain.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, it was already dawn, and although it was a long way from the city, they had already walked for two hours, but Zhou Min was very excited, because she was about to meet the town and the people at that time. This gave her the feeling that she was a witness to history.
Walking out of the woods, you will see a dirt road that is not very wide, and as soon as you walk up, it will be dusty. There were also people like them, who were carrying large bags and small bags to enter the city, and the four of them followed behind the other ordinary people and slowly walked towards the city gate.
Turning a corner, Zhou Min saw the city wall, the city wall did not look high, and the city gate was not big, but it was very historical, and the gray-blue stone was printed with mottled traces, like a witness of history.
At the gate of the city, there are four lazy soldiers, wearing a yellow skin, it should be a puppet army, and there are two artillery towers not far from the east and west sides of the city, which are very high and very high, and there are people patrolling from time to time.
For this entry into the city, Zhou Min was both excited and apprehensive, excited about the curiosity and exploration of the new environment, worried that the Japanese army in the city would find out that they were the Eighth Route Army, before leaving, Zhou Min looked at himself in the mirror, looked at the person in the mirror, and sighed slightly, such an ordinary face should not be eye-catching.
The people who entered the city moved forward slowly, giving people a feeling of sluggishness and numbness.
It was Zhou Min's turn to let them into the city, and the puppet army checked it to confirm that it was correct.
Zhou Min and his entourage entered the city gate, walked on the blue brick road in the city, looking at the people coming and going and the surrounding scenery, Zhou Min lost his mind for a while. For the first time in two months, she saw the city, saw the vendors, saw all kinds of people, and saw different shades for the first time.
Looking into the distance, watching the winding streets of this town spread into the distance, on both sides were people doing business, selling cloth, vegetables, chickens and ducks, fish, everything. There are also some shops on both sides of the road, selling medicines, tea houses, inns, and taverns. Looking at this unfamiliar environment, Zhou Min felt as if he had walked into a historical picture scroll, with a strong sense of history, but the picture scroll was full of living people.
Zhou Min sighed, but unfortunately he is also a person in the picture scroll, I don't know if I can get out of this picture scroll in my lifetime?
At this moment, the horn of the car came, and Zhou Min, who was still distracted, was dragged over by Xiaoxue, "Sister Zhou, what's wrong with you, you were almost hit by a car?"
Zhou Min, who came back to his senses slightly, looked at the car, looked at Xiaoxue, and said, "I'm fine, thank you." ”
After speaking, he looked at the car that had traveled far away, and the sound of the car's horn stimulated Zhou Min fiercely, and the whistle full of modern sounds made her heart twitch violently, repeatedly laughing at her, a poor person who traveled through time and space.
Looking at Zhou Min, whose face was not too good, Sister Zhang asked, "Miss Zhou, when you saw the car, did you remember anything, after all, you used to live in the city?"
I used to live in the city, and when I walked on the streets, I heard car horns, and I looked at cars, and I breathed air with the smell of car tails, but unfortunately I may never be able to return to that noisy environment.
"Sister Zhang, I just remembered some pictures about cars, but unfortunately there are only cars, nothing else. ”
Zhou Min said softly.
Sister Zhang didn't say anything anymore when she saw this, and then Huzi interjected: "Sister, let's finally come to the city once, let's eat something good, I have long wanted to eat Jufulou's stir-fried beef, spicy fried chicken nuggets." ”
"Your mouth is greedy, and all you have in your head is food. After listening to Huzi's words, Xiaoxue said dissatisfied.
Zhou Min was very happy when he heard that there was meat to eat, he had eaten enough wowotou and pickles this month. But she was still reserved and didn't speak.
Sister Zhang looked at the three of them, smiled, led them into Jufu Building, went up to the second floor and found a window seat to sit down, and ordered four dishes, four bowls of white rice, two vegetables and two meats, plus a bottle of fruit wine.
Looking at the steaming food on the table, Zhou Min was about to shed tears, and thought to himself, thank God for giving me this opportunity to enter the city, let me have a good meal, and finally be able to eat back the meat to suppress the protest in my stomach.
Smelling the aroma of beef, Zhou Min had a feeling of mouthful, chewing carefully, the meat was fragrant, it was really delicious in the world.
Rice is also very sweet, and this pure natural rice is much better than that of later generations. The fruit wine is also very delicious, with a faint aroma of sweet and sour, which makes people intoxicated.
Full of wine and food, full of ditches, Zhou Min, who ate this meal, has endless memories and feels that this is life, and the previous meals have been eaten in vain.
