Chapter 400: The German Guest I
Xiaobao and the proprietress came to the door with the carriage and unloaded the things on the carriage one by one to the ground. //.la
Aunt Chang heard the sound of the carriage and went out to see what was going on. When she saw the piles of rice, flour, oilcloth, and cotton on the ground like a hill, she was so shocked that her jaw was about to fall.
"Is this going to open a grocery store?" Aunt Chang asked.
"Haven't you seen a squirrel hiding a pine tree? With these things, I feel much more at ease in my life. The proprietress replied with a happy face.
Then they moved things into the house in the same way. What to put in where, the proprietress did a good job.
Aunt Chang felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. It turns out that she has the final say in this family. Xiaobao obeyed her. But now she feels that the girl in front of her doesn't take her seriously at all, and she has the intention of grabbing power.
Xiaobao didn't notice this at all, and he was soon called away by someone from the Kwantung Army Intelligence Department.
"Xiao Baojun, you can't rest now. There is an important task for you. Daiki Yanyi said solemnly.
"Yes! Be sure to complete the mission! Xiao Bao Lizheng said. Regardless of whether you want to answer immediately or not, this is the attitude that subordinates should have.
Daxi Yanyi nodded with great satisfaction and continued: "There is an important German guest in Harbin, you have to follow him closely in the past few days and protect his safety." ”
Daxi Yanyi's words also had the meaning of letting Xiaobao spy on this person, and Xiaobao heard it.
"Yes! I'll report anything to the chief right away. Xiao Bao replied.
"You're going to have a great time with him. He is a China expert, and he speaks Chinese fluently. There are no barriers to your communication. Oki Enichi said with a smile at the end.
** Colonel Ran Ke of the General Security Bureau of the Reich Security Bureau walked down Dazhi Street in a suit and leather shoes. He looked with interest at the busy pedestrians of all colors on both sides of the street, at the Baroque and Gothic buildings that were distinctly Russian on both sides of the street.
For a moment he thought he was still in a city in Europe.
Shanghai and Guangzhou Ran Ke have been there countless times. But this is the first time he has come to the Northeast.
Rick made his way to the United States at a young age. He soon discovered a huge business opportunity. He found that Chinese workers in the United States wanted to transport their bodies back to their native China for burial, no matter how much it cost after their deaths.
However, the U.S. government forbade the Chinese to ship the coffins back to China for health reasons.
Rick used his familiarity with U.S. customs and ports to help the Chinese pack the coffins into other cargo and load them onto ships bound for Shanghai or Guangzhou.
Ran Ke charges a thousand dollars for each coffin. Before World War I, a thousand dollars was a lot of money! Mr. Rank made a fortune in this business. This is also the first pot of gold in his life.
He is very strange that the Chinese in the United States do the lowest jobs and earn a meager income. But when he paid this sum of money, he didn't even blink his eyes, and he still regarded him as a good person who could help in the snow. But he was also glad that the Chinese did it, which made him prosperous.
It was also in contact with the Chinese that he deepened his understanding of China and Chinese in the process of traveling from the United States to Shanghai and Guangzhou, and also learned Chinese to become a China expert.
During World War I, he secretly worked for the intelligence services of his native Germany. Ran Ke traveled through various ports in the United States to learn about the movements of American warships and the transportation of civilian ships, and then sent the information back to Germany.
Zannak returned to Germany after the First World War and is now a colonel in the General Directorate of Security, a German intelligence organization. This time, he came here on an important mission on the orders of Heinrich, the head of the General Security Service.
"Is there a teahouse? Shall we go sit and sit? Ran Ke said in stiff Chinese.
"You mean the café?" Xiaobao asked hesitantly.
"No, no, no. I mean Chinese-style teahouses. There is the kind of bullet word. Ran Ke explained.
Thanks to Xiaobao's visit to Shanghai, he knows what a bullet word is.
"But our teahouse here only has a storytelling resemblance and a two-person turn, do you still want to go?" Xiaobao asked.
"That's right! Right! That's the kind of place I'm going to. Ran Ke said happily.
Xiaobao's heart was both curious and suspicious, and led Ran Ke to the teahouse he frequented.
As soon as Ran Ke entered the teahouse, the room was quiet for a second, and then there was a lot of noise in the room.
There are many foreigners in Harbin, but it is really rare to come to this kind of place.
Ran Ke easily found an empty table with no one and sat down. When he sat down, he put his hands behind him and swung them before sitting down.
Xiaobao was stunned for a long time before remembering that this was the action of the person wearing the horse coat lifting the back swing of the horse coat when he sat down.
When the guy put a pot of tea on the table, Ran Ke said in half-baked Chinese: "Peanuts and melon seeds are red in the mountains." ”
The guy was stunned for a moment before squeezing out a smile and said, "Now there is no red in the mountains, if you want to eat sugar gourds, I can run errands for you." ”
"Excuse me!" Ran Ke said unceremoniously. After speaking, he picked up the teacup with one hand, lifted the teacup lid with the other, blew it, and took a sip of tea. How skillful and skillful that action should be. I looked stupid at Xiaobao on the side.
In this way, Ran Ke and Xiaobao drank tea together, ate peanuts and melon seeds, and listened to the storytelling.
Today's storyteller is talking about Bai Yutang's death and rushing to the sky.
Bai Yutang, Bai Wuye, is young, handsome, and strong in martial arts. once fought against the government and caused a catastrophe, but in the end, he died for the Song Dynasty.
Xiaobao slowly listened to it.
When the man came down to collect the money, Ran Ke took out a large bill from his pocket and put it on a plate.
The two men came out of the teahouse and walked out onto the street again.
"Aside from today's book, have you heard of Yue Feichuan?" Ran Ke asked Xiaobao with a smile.
"Heard," Xiaobao replied truthfully.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Second Master Guan, have you also heard of it?" Ran Ke asked again.
"I've heard" Xiaobao admired the foreign devil in front of him so much, this guy even knew the second master of the righteous Bo Yuntian! The Japanese, the Germans, the Russians, how do they all know China so well!
"It seems that the Japanese are not yet thorough, so why do these people still listen to these things? Isn't this making them rebel? Ran muttered to himself in German.
In the evening, Xiaobao took Ran Ke into a restaurant that made Huaiyang cuisine for a big meal. When Ran Ke was young, he sent Chinese coffins to Shanghai many times. At that time, there were no local dishes in Shanghai, and Ran Ke's favorite food was Huaiyang cuisine.
After dinner, Xiaobao sent Ran Ke to the accommodation that had been arranged by the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army long ago - the Yamato Hotel.
In order to protect Ran Ke's safety, Xiaobao lives in the outer room of the suite.
