Chapter Forty-Seven: An Unexpected Surprise
Just when Zhang Jianghe was secretly disappointed, the shopkeeper of the donkey meat restaurant who had collected the banknotes took the donkey meat wrapped by the guy and handed it to Zhang Jianghe. "This guest, this is the secret sauce donkey meat made by the small shop, and the marinated soup for boiling donkey meat is still bought by me from the old store in Baoding for 200 yuan. If you have been to Baoding, Cao Ji old shop on Huama Street, you should not be unfamiliar, my old soup for cooking meat here is from Cao Ji old shop. ”
The shopkeeper spoke with a standard Hebei accent, and his round and chubby face was also full of the merchant's philistine expression, but when he said what he said just now, he deliberately bit the words heavily on a few of the words. Stretched out his hand to take the donkey meat and fire from the other party, Zhang Jianghe forcibly pressed the loss in his heart and prepared to leave, he came here according to the news in the newspaper, but the other party did not respond to the signal he sent with the banknote, what is going on?
Zhang Jianghe was about to leave with questions, but suddenly found that the shopkeeper of the donkey meat restaurant had specially wrapped a newspaper outside the oiled paper bag that wrapped the donkey meat and the fire. And the news he saw before was actually in the center of the package at a glance, Zhang Jianghe was shocked and immediately raised his head, just in front of the donkey meat restaurant shopkeeper's eyes with great meaning. Zhang Jianghe, whose eyes instantly showed moisture, although his face still looked impassive, his breathing had already become rapid.
"Thank you, I'll try it again when I go back, maybe I'll become a regular here!" There was no way to communicate with Zhang Jianghe, who continued to communicate with the other party, but after quickly adjusting his breathing and expression, he nodded to the other party and thanked him, but when he turned to leave, Zhang Jianghe lowered his voice and quickly said the words "there is a dog on the other side". There is a dog on the opposite side, these four words represent an early warning, the shopkeeper of the donkey meat restaurant shrank his eyes, but he did not immediately look outside the donkey meat restaurant.
Walking out of the donkey meat restaurant, Zhang Jianghe's spirit was obviously very different from before, he had lost contact with his superiors for many years, and suddenly found the news published in the newspaper, and found this donkey meat restaurant according to the inferred content. Regaining contact with the organization, for Zhang Jianghe, this is no less exciting than catching a few more Japanese spies, which means that from today on, he is no longer a lonely goose.
"Uncle, why did you buy so much? We're going to have a couple of meals in a row! No matter how delicious the donkey meat is, if you eat too much, you will get bored one day! Tang Cheng, who rushed back with pickles and Zhou Hongmakeup, stood by the car and looked at the donkey meat and fire that Zhang Jianghe was carrying in his hand with some exaggeratedness, focusing on his last sentence, which was a reminder for Zhang Jianghe. Zhang Jianghe's heart was happy but not carried away, Tang Cheng's last words immediately alerted him, especially when he found that there was a secret agent of the Central Union on the other side of the street.
The people of Zhongtong appeared here, probably for the donkey meat restaurant, Zhang Jianghe did not show it on his face, but in fact, his heart had already become a pot of porridge. It was not easy for him to connect with the organization, and he must not be destroyed by the Central Union, otherwise he will become a helpless lonely goose who has lost contact with the organization. Zhang Jianghe's worry was not revealed in his expression, but Tang Cheng had already seen the difference from the stiff movements he had just gotten into the car, and just smiled slightly, Tang Cheng turned around and closed the car door for Zhang Jianghe.
Tang Cheng and his party drove to the donkey meat restaurant to eat, which had already attracted the attention of the secret agent of the Central Union, but according to his observation, Tang Cheng and the three of them just came here to eat, and he did not find anything unusual. Tang Cheng started the car and drove away from the street where the donkey meat restaurant was located, Zhang Jianghe, who was sitting in the back seat, closed his eyes and recuperated, and only Zhou Hongxiang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, still habitually looked curiously outside the car through the car window.
Knowing that Zhang Jianghe must be alone for a while at this moment, Tang Cheng drove the car back to the Zhang family's old mansion directly, and distributed some of the donkey meat and fire that he brought back to the people who guarded the old mansion, and Zhang Jianghe used the excuse of taking a nap to stay alone in the room. "Would you like to go out with me?" Tang Cheng wanted to leave Zhou Hongxiang at home, but he was worried that Zhou Hongxiang's stay at home would affect Zhang Jianghe, so he drove straight to Joseph's leather goods store with Zhou Hongmakeup, who was a little eager to try.
Joseph's leather goods store was still closed, and Tang Cheng, who was amazed, inquired about the shop next to him, and learned that Joseph's leather goods store had not been open for several days. "Maybe I went to Shanghai or Tianjin, my friend is a master who can't sit still." Tang Cheng found a reason for himself, but looking at Zhou Hongxiang's expression at the moment, he obviously didn't believe Tang Cheng's statement. "Let's go, since I haven't found anyone, then I'll take you around, the weather is pretty good today."
Tang Cheng parked the car on the side of the street and took Zhou Hongmakeup on foot, although the remaining snow in the street was still a little slippery, but Zhou Hongmakeup seemed very interested. Women are born shopping experts, Tang Cheng really understood the deep meaning of this sentence at this time, Tang Cheng, who was a little cocooned, was standing helplessly outside a shop on the street at the moment, Zhou Hongxiang was looking at the fabrics on the counter with great interest under the introduction and promotion of the shopkeeper. "You don't know how to make clothes, what do you do with so much fabric?" Seeing that Zhou Hong's makeup almost didn't think about it, he ordered a lot of fabrics in this store, Tang Cheng was a little dumbfounded.
Zhou Hongxiang rolled her eyes at Tang Cheng angrily, "These are all good materials for making summer shirts, the temperature in Chongqing is higher than here, and it is hot earlier." Listening to the meaning of the godfather, the matter of going south to Chongqing is almost over, there should be no such Songjiang cloth in Chongqing, and there is no harm in buying more and taking it to Chongqing. Zhou Hongxiang's reason sounded very sufficient, so sufficient that Tang Cheng was speechless, so he had to choose not to mention it again.
Anyway, it's not your own money that is spent, with the big wallet of Tang Cheng to follow, Zhou Hongxiang has completely opened the shopping mode today, and in just one hour, the back seat of the car is full of things that Zhou Hongxiang bought. Tang Cheng, whose wallet has shrunk sharply, wants to say that Zhou Hongxiang, if you live like this, you will definitely end up bankrupt. But when he saw Zhou Hongxiang's excited appearance, he didn't say the words when he came to his mouth, after all, Zhou Hongxiang was just a young girl who was only one year older than him, if she was a normal person, a girl of this age would be carefree.
Tang Cheng's intentional connivance, and Zhou Hongxiang didn't care much about the concept of money, so he just walked two streets, and the car was already piled up and couldn't sit anymore. "Oh broke, how did I buy so many things? Godfather will definitely scold! The two paper bags in his hand almost couldn't be stuffed into the car, Zhou Hongxiang realized that he had bought so many things, and he was a little embarrassed to look at Tang Cheng secretly, but Zhou Hongxiang found that Tang Cheng didn't seem to care about it.
"It's okay, if Uncle Zhang scolds, you say that I want to buy these things." Leaning over to stuff the paper bag in his seat into the gap behind him, Tang Cheng gave the answer with a smile. "I still have a lot of fiat currency on hand, and the fiat currency has begun to depreciate for a while, and if I don't hurry up and spend it, I may continue to depreciate after a while. Anyway, it's all bought into something, if you calculate it carefully, we won't lose money, Uncle Zhang won't scold you! Seeing that Zhou Hongxiang was still secretly worried, after closing the car door, Tang Cheng told Zhou Hongxiang about the consequences of the depreciation of the fiat currency.
"That's good... That's good..."Zhou Hongxiang, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, had a scared expression at the moment, but when her eyes turned, there was a hint of a smile in her eyes, obviously she was not worried that she would be scolded by Zhang Jianghe after she went back. Tang Cheng, who was starting the car, didn't see the smile hidden in Zhou Hongxiang's eyes, maybe even if he saw it, he would pretend not to see it. Zhou Hongxiang looked like she bought a lot of things, but the actual money she spent was not very much, because the things she bought were not too valuable, so Tang Cheng didn't care.
Zhou Hongxiang was secretly snickering, glad that Tang Cheng didn't see her careful thoughts, who knew that before she came back to her senses, she suddenly felt a strong force surging behind her, and her body slammed forward with the sudden braking of the car and hit the dashboard. Tang Cheng stepped on the brakes sharply because a woman suddenly rushed across the street from the side of the street, and if Tang Cheng didn't hit the brakes, the car that was moving forward would inevitably hit the woman.
But even if Tang Cheng had already stepped on the brakes, the woman in the middle of the street still fell backwards with an exclamation, "It's okay, the car didn't hit her, she should be scared!" It's not that Zhou Hongxiang has never seen a dead person, and his face will turn pale with horror, Tang Cheng, who understands in his heart, first checked whether Zhou Hongxiang was injured, and after confirming that Zhou Hongxiang was fine, he pushed the car door and got out of the car.
How is she? Tang Cheng got out of the car and found that there was still some distance between the car and the woman, and the woman who fell in the middle of the street was indeed not hit by the car, but to Tang Cheng's surprise, this woman was actually the one he knew. "Sister Xie, how could it be you? Are there any injuries? Why don't I take you to the hospital? Tang Cheng immediately stepped forward quickly, helped the woman surnamed Xie from the General Affairs Section of the Intelligence Department from the ground, and asked again and again.
Xie Chunlan didn't seem to expect that she would meet Tang Cheng here, and her expression was a little embarrassed to get up from the ground with Tang Cheng's support, and found that her body was fine, but her elbow was bruised. "It's okay, Xiao Tang, if you have something to do, let's go first, there's a clinic in front, I'll just go and apply some potion." Xie Chunlan said that it was okay, but her eyes involuntarily looked behind Tang Cheng one after another, and Zhou Hong, who had just come out of the car, saw this, so she followed Xie Chunlan's line of sight to look at the side of the street, and happened to see a few sturdy men coming out of the alley on the side of the street.
