42. Sky-high prices
Xu Ying chased Xu Lian out, and it took two trots to catch up with the person, and as soon as he caught up with the person, Xu Ying said: "Xu Mao, you don't know, you have admired Brother Xu Da since you were a child, you must not be able to listen to you say that Sister Xiangyi is amazing, and Brother Xu Da is his idol." β
"I know, I just can't get used to the way he looks like a frog at the bottom of a well." Xu Lian didn't want to keep worrying about this problem, so he changed the topic in an instant, "Sister Xiangyi's identity, this time I must have a task in Shanghai, you see that Brother Xu Da is so irritable today, I can't figure out that Sister Xiangyi's task is quite tricky, I'll go to the store to help, by the way, see if she comes back, and give Brother Xu Da a steady heart." β
Xu Ying felt justified when she heard this, and patted Xu Lian's shoulder with a smile and said, "A few of us, you kid has a heart." Let's go, I'll go with you. β
Lin Xiangyi didn't know that because a small quarrel had just broken out in her Xu family, she really didn't go back to the store as Xu Lian expected, and now she wanted an absolutely safe environment to study those medicines that came out, so she returned to the Xu family as soon as possible.
"Xu Bang, why are you alone, and the others?" Lin Xiangyi, who returned to the Xu family, found that Xu Bang was the only one in the whole family, and Xu Da was also busy on weekdays, but the other people were not there.
"Xu Ying and Xu Lian were in the store last year, Xu Mao and Xu Ming followed Xu Dage out to run errands, and Xu Dage asked me to stay at home and wait for you to come back." Xu Bang put down the newspaper in his hand with a smile and said, "I'll go and call Brother Xu Da first, he waited for you for a day today, and he was quite irritable, if it wasn't for a small problem on the dock, he wouldn't want to go out if Brother Xu Da was to watch it personally." β
"Can you get in touch with him?" Lin Xiangyi said strangely, this person has gone out, where is it so easy to find. However, I also knew in my heart that I had been gone for so long today, which must have made Xu Da very worried, and he was moved and slightly apologetic.
Xu Bang's answer was, of course, yes: "Brother Xu gave me a number, saying that he was suing the person over there, and he would receive the message." I won't tell you Sister Xiangyi first, I'll call. β
"Go on, I'm back in my room, don't come up and disturb me if it's not a big deal." Lin Xiangyi smiled and said a few words to Xu Bang and returned to the room, this time she entered the room, she took out the elixir of today's shun from the soul ring, the amount of the elixir is not large, Lin Xiangyi is also afraid of startling the snake, so she is also extra serious about analyzing the ingredients, for fear of wasting this few elixirs.
Under the premise of no instrument, Lin Xiangyi can only judge by borrowing the experience of knowing medicinal materials all along, but unfortunately, she analyzed it for more than two hours, until Xu Da rushed back, she still had an ingredient that she had not found.
As soon as the bedroom door rang, Lin Xiangyi stopped what he was doing, let go of his soul power, and when he saw that it was Xu Da, he smiled and sorted out the notes on the table and put them away together with the potions to open the door, as soon as the door opened, Xu Da took Lin Xiangyi into his arms, which made several boys on the first floor stunned.
"Brother Xu is so proactive." Xu Bang said to the two people beside him, "I've never seen Brother Xu like this, it seems that this is tempting." β
"Hmph, the light will cause trouble for Brother Xu Da." Xu Mao seemed to dislike Lin Xiangyi very much, and the words that came out of his mouth were not good, Xu Ming on the side was really helpless, so he could only persuade, "Sister Xiangyi, that's not called trouble, it's just that Brother Xu Da's concentration is insufficient, so many winds and waves have come over, why did he change when he met Sister Xiangyi?" Think about it yourself, don't ruin the relationship between Brother Xu and Sister Xiangyi because of your selfishness. β
"I'm not selfish." Xu Mao did not admit it.
Xu Ming glanced at Xu Bang helplessly, and finally said to Xu Mao: "I know that your sister has liked Brother Xu since she was a child, but Brother Xu Da has long said that he has no feelings for your sister, you are so angry with Sister Xiangyi, are we really blind?" Brother Xu Da didn't bring so many people this time, but he took you, which means that he is optimistic about you, I hope you don't affect your judgment of the things around you because of your sister's affairs. Don't deny what happened this morning, think for yourself whether your words make sense. β
"Yes, even Brother Xu Da said that Xiang Yi's skills are much better than him, but you just look at people with prejudice." Xu Bang said in a low voice, "Think about it yourself, don't have any opinions about Sister Xiangyi." β
"One sister at a time, you were all bought by him." Talking about the two of them, Xu Mao could only turn around and go back to his room angrily, and threw himself on the bed with some annoyance, thinking if he really did something too much, yes, what they said made sense, and Xu Mao knew it in his heart, but as soon as he saw that Xu Dage was good to Lin Xiangyi, he felt that his sister was so wronged.
Hey, I can only say that Xu Mao hasn't figured out the emotional matter yet, in this relationship, there has always been only consensual thinking, you love me, this relationship is not something that human beings can interfere with.
Lin Xiangyi didn't know so much about Xu Mao's careful thoughts here, so she would devote all her energy to appeasing Xu Da, who was extremely unsteady.
"I'm fine, don't worry." was held in Xu Da's arms, Lin Xiangyi hugged him back, and patted him on the back with words, "The people you sent to me, I was afraid that they would spoil my business before I got rid of them, don't be angry, I don't mean anything else, it's just that the mission is not only a confidential mission, but also a little dangerous, I can't pull you in." β
"Knowing the danger and getting rid of those people." Xu Da knew what Lin Xiangyi meant, no matter how good those people were, they would inadvertently expose Lin Xiangyi's task, but he still said stubbornly, "Since you left, you don't know how worried I am about your accident." β
"I'm going to have an accident, don't worry." Lin Xiangyi's face was filled with a happy smile, she really liked this life, although she couldn't go up for cultivation, but she got something more precious than cultivation, such as family affection and love
"After completing this mission, you can quit, I will go and talk to your organization, and it will be a big deal to fund them with some weapons for more than a year." As long as Xu Da thinks about it, although Lin Xiangyi's life and safety are under the command of others in the future, the reason in his mind is always not online.
Lin Xiangyi came out of Xu Da's arms with a smile, looked at Xu Da's eyes with a smile and said, "You don't have to be involved, I have a way to let them give me freedom." β
"Don't want your faith?" Although he already knew Lin Xiangyi's character, Xu Da still couldn't imagine it, after all, the revolutionary comrades he met were all abandoning their families and careers to make sacrifices in all aspects to drive out the Japanese army, and Lin Xiangyi's like this is really rare.
"Whether I am in the organization or not, I will work to drive the Japanese out of the group, and my role in the organization is not to the fullest. Believe me, I have the confidence to convince the chiefs of them. Lin Xiangyi extremely dislikes being arranged to live, but she likes this revolutionary emotion very much, so whether she is a person in the organization or not, she will fulfill the promise she once made to herself, drive out the Japanese army, and avenge Lin Xiangyi, who died in vain.
Lin Xiangyi's words gave Xu Da a shot of cardiotonic on the big Cheng dΓΉ, so although Lin Xiangyi still went out in the next few days, Xu Da was no longer as irritable as on the first day, and Lin Xiangyi also gained a lot here, and after more than half a month in the Japanese army's real yΓ n room, she finally figured out all the ingredients that were not unraveled in the potion. This Lin Xiangyi figured out that it didn't matter the ingredients, what mattered was that the progress of this real room was a little fast, so Lin Xiangyi decided that he was almost ready to act.
It was time to connect with the contact person in the organization again, and Lin Xiangyi came to the meeting place according to the place re-agreed last time.
"These are the deployment maps of the orphanage, their real yΓ n has been carried out to the most critical time, I have figured out the purpose of this real yΓ n, what they make will not be as dangerous as expected, what city will fall, it is simply wishful thinking." Lin Xiangyi's first half of the sentence made the connector breathe a sigh of relief, but the second half of the sentence was not so optimistic, "But it is still possible to pose a threat to the other party in a radius of twenty or thirty miles at one time, so I decided to start acting in half a month." β
The connector is just passing the microphone, so he doesn't have the right to decide when to carry out the task, and he has to cooperate with Lin Xiangyi: "Why don't you act immediately?" β
"I still have some things that I haven't figured out, and if I don't make sure that I'm foolproof, I can't joke with the lives of so many comrades." Lin Xiangyi said in a low voice, this is indeed her concern, she is naturally very sensitive to danger, so she is very sure that there are still things in the orphanage that she doesn't know, and if she doesn't figure these out, she can't let herself and so many compatriots who have finally lurked fall into it.
"We are ready to sacrifice for the sake of the revolution." "For half a month, we don't know what happened, and we must not let the Japanese army research out this biological and chemical weapon." β
"Senseless sacrifice is not bravery." Lin Xiangyi didn't say much, and said directly, "As for the progress of the real yΓ n, I will control it, this will not become a β‘β‘ in your heart, since the organization has let you Shanghai underground organization power cooperate with me, then you better not cause me trouble, I will give you the defense map, study it well, and the next time we meet, tell me your implementation plan, your task is to rescue the innocent people there, as for biological and chemical weapons, I will solve them." Also, you telegraph organization, I need a radio station to report to the chief individually. β
"But there is no extra radio station for you in Shanghai." Liaison with humanitarians.
"As long as the above agrees, I will find a way to deal with the radio station." Lin Xiangyi is really a little speechless, sometimes poverty can really drive people crazy, it is really the economy that determines the superstructure, she really understands, when she came to Shanghai, she knew that the money was really not enough, she would not open again, it is estimated that she will soon be poor and unable to open the pot.
The news transmission in the organization was indeed not slow, and soon Lin Xiangyi got a positive answer, so Lin Xiangyi found Xu Da again and asked him to help get a radio station back, but Xu Da simply pushed the wall of the study away without saying a word, and led Lin Xiangyi into the room inside.
"There's one here, but it's just for me to use to contact business on weekdays, so you shouldn't need a separate one in an emergency." Xu Da said with a smile.
"But if someone catches the signal, won't it affect you." Lin Xiangyi didn't want to use this, but Xu Da had a firm attitude, left Lin Xiangyi here alone, and went out by himself. Lin Xiangyi struggled with it for a while before deciding to use this.
After quickly getting in touch with that side, Lin Xiangyi telegraphed all the drafts that had been prepared a long time ago, which roughly means that she found that there were many secrets of the Japanese army in Shanghai, and after this mission, she decided to continue to lurk, hoping that the organization would consider it, and by the way, she would also explain the benefits of opening a store and planning to accept students, and finally concluded that the money she earned in the future would regularly support the organization every year, and try to buy the first combat aircraft for the organization, etc.
Lin Xiangyi's report is really a big deal, and the head of Yan'an thought about it for several days before finally deciding to approve Lin Xiangyi's application, but the premise is that her latent work must be the best, so her identity message Yan'an will still delete the materials, and she will not correct her name until she successfully returns. This result was within Lin Xiangyi's expectations, so she was very satisfied with this, and she felt that it was a good deal to exchange the economy for temporary freedom.
After the matter of not returning to Yan'an was implemented, Lin Xiangyi's whole heart fell on the opening of the store, because of Zhang Duan's hard publicity and follow-up, this beautiful woman had become famous in Shanghai's social circle before it opened.
"Only gold?" As if he didn't understand, Zhang Duan looked at Lin Xiangyi incredulously and said, "Isn't this a little expensive?" β
Lin Xiangyi smiled and said: "When you see the effect, you won't feel expensive, the guests are expensive for a long time and not too much, but Shanghai people are very rich." If you let out the wind, the beautiful woman only accepts gold, and a small yellow croaker can enjoy ten times of service. β
This is Lin Xiangyi's own calculations for a long time, the big yellow croaker has more than 300 grams, it's just that the rich people will save some pressure on the bottom of the box, now the gold is expensive and the silver is cheap, the grams of this small yellow croaker are only one-tenth of the big yellow croaker, so the inventory of the small yellow croaker, these rich people must be only a lot more, Lin Xiangyi doesn't want to collect any depreciating banknotes, so this only gold is also what she has thought about for a long time, she has this confidence, as long as there is a guest, she will not be unable to do this business.
"Wouldn't it be too expensive?" Rao is Zhang Duanlao is dealing with arms dealings, and he also feels that Lin Xiangyi's asking price is too high, "What if there is no business?" β
"This is the time to test you." Lin Xiangyi smiled, "It depends on how you publicize it, I'm very optimistic about you!" β
