Xiaobao and Brother Jiang came to Pingyang Town four days later.

The Muling River flows eastward into Xingkai Lake. After the arrival of the immigrants, they first went to the south of the Muling River, so there was a line from Pingyang Town to the two-person class and then to Mishan poplar.

After the arrival of the Japanese, there was more development north of the Muling River. First, Xinmi Mountain was built, and then it was renamed Dong'an. One of Japan's most elite divisions, the 11th Division, the Zentsuji Division, was stationed here. This is also the origin of the new Mishan North Camp.

Xiaobao came to Binh Duong, a town with a population of only about 200 households, but because it is a traffic artery, it is very lively. There are car shops, hotels, and restaurants.

Xiaobao first went to the street to look for five blue brick houses in Pingyang Town. It was the cover of the big cabinet for him.

Houses are easy to find, there are only more than 200 houses on both sides of a road. There are only seven or eight of them. Most of them are thatched-roofed adobe houses.

Xiaobao circled around the house he told him about and walked back. The sun is setting in the west, and it's time for dinner. Just like Second Master Qi said, don't be in a hurry, take your time.

There are six or seven restaurants on the side of the road, and Xiaobao stands in front of a small restaurant with the three words casserole on the lintel of the door.

A tall woman over thirty years old greeted with the unique boldness of a Northeast woman: "Eat?" The house is please, the house is warm. ”

Xiaobao hesitated for a moment, and then followed the woman into the restaurant. The room was very simple, with three small square tables and small benches around them.

Xiaobao sat on a small bench next to a table and asked, "What's there?" ”

"Casserole tofu, casserole pork ribs, casserole mutton, if you want to eat scrambled eggs and fungus, you can do it. It's just that there are no fresh vegetables in this winter. The staple food is steamed buns, and if you want to be cheap, our family also has their own cornmeal flatbread. The woman replied.

"Let's have a casserole tofu and two steamed buns." Xiaobao said.

"Haole," the woman agreed, and then went back to the back room like a gust of wind.

A quarter of an hour later, the woman came out with a plate. The casserole on the plate was steaming hot. Placing the casserole on the table, the woman turned around and brought out two steamed buns and a plate of leek flowers.

Xiaobao ate the steamed buns in one hand and the spoon in the other.

The woman sat at another table, sucking into the soles of her shoes by the light of an oil lamp.

Footsteps sounded, and a short and fat man walked in leisurely.

"After a day of shopping, you finally know that you're home?" The woman asked.

"I'm a little hungry, do you have anything to eat at home?" The man asked.

"Yo, aren't you the shopkeeper of this house? Why are you still asking me? The woman said angrily. But he still stood up and walked into the back room, and after a while brought out a bowl of millet porridge, a large cake and a plate of pickles.

The man picked up chopsticks and snorted and ate.

"I'm not a picky eater!" The woman pouted and sat next to the man, gently patting the dust off the man's body with her hand. Turning his head, he saw Xiaobao looking over, and said mockingly: "This is my man, named Zhang Dabaihu." The biggest advantage is to pass on his wife's tongue, and there is nothing he doesn't know about in these ten miles and eight villages!"

"You don't fart and mix sand, sarcasm blows." The man named Zhang Da Baihu chewed something in his mouth and said vaguely.

Xiaobao rolled his eyes and said to the woman, "Sister-in-law, can you bring me another plate of fried peanuts, a plate of mushu meat, and a bowl of liquor?" ”

The guest was not happy to spend more money, and the woman turned around and went to the back room.

Xiaobao ate slowly, waiting for the food to be served.

At this time, there was the sound of shovels in the back room, and the smell of vegetables wafted out. The man sniffed and swallowed.

After a while, two dishes and a bowl of wine were brought out by the woman and placed in front of Xiaobao.

Xiaobao asked, "How much?" Settle the bill first. Save yourself a moment of forgetting. “

"You give eight pieces." The woman said with a smile.

Xiaobao gave the money, picked up a peanut and chewed it slowly in his mouth, and then picked up the bowl and took a sip.

The smell of wine wafts through the house. Zhang Dabai turned his head and looked at his daughter-in-law pitifully.

The woman gave him a blank look and ignored him.

Xiaobao shouted to Zhang Dabai: "Big brother, it's boring for me to drink alone, can you come over and let's drink and chat."

Zhang Dabai's face was surprised, and he turned his head to look at his daughter-in-law with a pleading face.

The woman glared at him fiercely, shaking her head.

Xiaobao stood up and walked over, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, pulled the man to sit beside him.

Zhang Dabai sat down with a smile and a half-push.

"Sister-in-law, another bowl of wine. I pay the bills! Xiaobao shouted.

"I'm so embarrassed, why do I have to pay for it." The woman brought a bowl of wine and put it in front of Zhang Dabaihu. He poked his man's head with his finger again.

Xiaobao pushed the two dishes to Zhang Dabaihu's side, "Big brother, our family is in the grain business. My dad told me to go here. ”

"What are you going to receive?" Zhang Dabai asked.

"Soybeans and sorghum," Xiaobao replied.

"Sorghum is no problem, soybeans have been high since last year. When Bizhen and Suifenhe came to harvest soybeans, they said that the Germans wanted it. Zhang Dabai said.

"Soybeans even the Germans want?" Xiaobao asked in surprise.

"That is, take the Lao Maozi railway to Europe. They are sold in Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Poland. Zhang Dabai said that his face was colorful, like he was a big boss.

"Then it's too much to take this road?" Xiaobao deliberately led the words.

"It's been a lot more peaceful in the past few years, and of course, after the establishment of Manchukuo, there have been more oil peels. But the beard is really missing. Zhang Dabai said.

"Then how did I hear that Pingyang Town killed several people a few years ago?" After Xiaobao finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on Zhang Dabaihu.

"Hey, it's just two gangs of thieves fighting. It can't be said that it is two groups of petty thieves, and the one who was killed did have two hard hands. But the killer is purely a bunch of petty thieves. Zhang Dabai pursed his lips.

Xiaobao felt his heart skip a beat, "According to what you say, the one who is killed is harder than the one who kills, how can he be killed?" Xiaobao asked in surprise.

"Haven't you heard of the four seas?" Zhang Dabai took a sip of wine and asked.

Xiaobao grabbed the table with his left hand, "I seem to have heard people talk about it." ”

"What! You didn't even know that the four seas were so famous! This time it was Zhang Dabai's turn to be surprised.

"Sihai is famous in the original Heiji Province, and they are all well-known! He used to be the head of a cannon for six or seven hills. That barrel is called a straight! Now people are getting older, and their hearts are cold. I hid in our town of Pingyang. Ma Bin and Ma Da Shopkeeper of Pingyang Town took him in. Zhang Dabai sighed after speaking.
