Chapter 3 Riverside Restaurant

"Qingfa followed the commander to serve the country in the year of the Mandate of Heaven, and he once thought that he was fighting a bloody battle with an old bone and a Japanese robber! However, to this day, he has not made an inch, and he has stolen the high position of the deputy captain, which is really valued by the commander and loved by the brothers. Every time I think about this, I can't sleep all night. Commander, Qingfa can swim in the water and make a boat. If you want to cross the river, I can row, please take me! ”

"Old Xiao, you. Alas, well, since you are not too tired, let's go together. Let me start with the fact that none of the people we went there knew how to row a boat, and very few of us knew how to water. If you're going, be prepared to row across the Yellow River alone! ”

"Thank you, Commander!" Xiao Qingfa stood up straight and saluted, and then clapped his hands with Li Lishan in celebration.

"Lao Xiao, you go back and prepare, change into civilian clothes, and see you at the ferry in two hours."

Ren Laifeng sent away Xiao Qingfa and Li Lishan, and Fu Erchong was left alone, so he glared at the restless guy fiercely, "Fu Erchong, why did you trick Xiao Qingfa into being a boatman?" He's in his fifties, don't you know? Do people in their fifties still have the strength to row across the Yellow River? Why didn't you come and row for me? ”

"I don't know how to row." Fu Erchong simply shook his head and shook it again. "Lao Xiao is the most proficient in his heart, if he can't move, he won't rob this job. Besides, I don't have to worry about sending others, since Xiao Qingfa is a middle-level officer, he is always more reliable than ordinary soldiers. ”

"You mean Zhang Sheng?" Ren Laifeng's face darkened. In the two years since he participated in the Anti-Japanese War, although there have been deserters and traitors in the army, he has never been betrayed by anyone close to him.

The defection of the orderly Zhang Sheng directly led to the last Kaifeng attack, Niu Hei was captured and almost killed. Although our army won a great victory, how many officers and soldiers were killed or wounded? And the cause of all this is just the defection of a servant!

Ren Laifeng looked stunned, and the reconnaissance platoon commander couldn't hide, so he had to come up and report: "The reconnaissance platoon hasn't found any trace of Zhang Sheng so far, but that kid must have seen Yuichiro Muto, and we have never given up the pursuit." ”

Ren Laifeng nodded. It's not a rush to do anything, and it's all the same when you can meet people and hear the news. Speaking of which, it is here that he should be most responsible. Zhang Sheng is his orderly, if something happens to the orderly, shouldn't he, the commander, be responsible for lax discipline?

This is the end of this sentence, and then the individual packed up and went to the New Yellow River Ferry.

Xiaolizhuang, an inland village for many years, has suddenly become a ferry village on the edge of the Yellow River since last year. Since then, the peace of the village has been broken, and dozens or hundreds of outsiders cross the Yellow River every day from the ferry next to the village. The influx of foreign population has brought troubles to the villagers and benefits at the same time, and the poor village that has been poor for hundreds of years has been lifted out of poverty overnight!

Repairing wharves, repairing boats, selling snacks, souvenirs, and providing accommodation to pedestrians and merchants are all ways for the villagers of Xiaolizhuang to make money. Anyway, anyway, in the past two years, I couldn't marry a daughter-in-law before, and all the girls from other villages in ten miles and eight towns also went to Xiaolizhuang to marry. The village gradually showed a trend of prosperity.

Although Ren Laifeng and his party are wearing civilian clothes, can the temperament of the soldiers be the same as that of ordinary villagers? As soon as these people walked into the village, no one dared to approach within a few meters.

There is a small restaurant next to the pier, and the sign of the restaurant is these two crooked carbon letters. Originally, she didn't plan to eat on the dock, but after seeing this humble restaurant, Yu Xiaoqian actually rubbed Feng Wenying and agreed to taste authentic farmhouse food.

Both women have spoken, can Ren Laifeng not agree? Why don't you just eat a meal? A group of people walked in to find a place to sit, and Ren Laifeng noticed that the restaurant didn't look big from the outside, but in fact, there was another world inside.

It's not that this restaurant is luxurious, and this place is not luxurious. It's a big place, and there are forty or fifty square tables and round tables. The hall of the entire restaurant is at least 200 square meters. There are not many big tables, basically small square tables that can seat four people, Ren Laifeng put the four tables together to set up a big table, and everyone sat around the table.

Order. The recipe is just a piece of paper, and there are probably less than ten kinds of books written on it. What spinach tofu, sweet and sour carp, charred fried small fish, five-spice tea eggs, probably this category. There are no pork dishes, but there are several fish-related dishes.

I looked at the price, it was cheaper than the one in the city, and it was higher than I imagined. In terms of eating, Ren Laifeng has never been stingy, and there are not many opportunities to go to the restaurant, so I finally came once, and I don't let go of eating, right? I ordered all the dishes on the menu, and the guy who came to greet him laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

In the future, if you want to cross the river often, you will have to eat here, taste the taste of each dish first, and if you want to, it is not impossible to use this place as a designated supply station in the future.

The taste is average, basically neither good nor bad. According to the conditions of this restaurant, it should be said that the chef's level is quite good. Ren Laifeng is quite satisfied. The two women are more interested, especially Yu Xiaoqian, who used to be the daughter of a fisherman's family on the river, and she has a soft spot for eating fish.

Although there is no real pork and mutton, the rice with fish and eggs still makes everyone enjoy eating.

When Ren Laifeng was chewing a fried fish, a man's voice suddenly came into his ears: "Zhang Sanzhen is not a thing, that rabbit cub actually gave me a Japanese military ticket after eating last time!" How do you spend that thing? It scared me so much that I didn't sleep all night. ”

Ren Laifeng slowed down his chewing speed, and when he listened to it with his ears sideways, he couldn't hear anything. Looking around, this was the hall of the restaurant, and in addition to the guests, there were several other tables with people seated. Judging from what I just said, it should be the waiter or shopkeeper of this restaurant.

"Keep eating, and I'll come when I go." Ren Laifeng said hello, got up and walked back.

The shopkeeper has a table near the door of the back kitchen. Not only can it block guests from coming to the back kitchen, but it is also convenient to check out the bill. Ren Laifeng came to the shopkeeper to inquire about the news.

"Yo, do you want to settle the bill?" When the shopkeeper saw Ren Laifeng, he hurriedly put the abacus and account book away. The spare book in his hand was tucked into a drawer.

"Checkout? It's okay. Hey, shopkeeper, I'll ask you about it. Zhang San, do you know each other? ”
