Chapter 34 Scarlet Devotion (6) Situation is coming
Guo Kaiqing was downstairs eating tea and snacks, and after a while, he found that after the teahouse owner went upstairs, he didn't come down, and he felt strange, so he walked up the bamboo ladder and wanted to go upstairs to have a look.
After entering the upper floor, Guo Kaiqing did not walk to the table of the teahouse owner and guests, he hid his figure and listened to the "root of the wall".
"It turns out that you are from G City, people from big places, it is different at first glance." It seemed that the owner of the teahouse and the guests upstairs were chatting very happily.
"I also came there later, and now the whole country is not engaged in reform and opening up, my hometown is too poor, so I went there to try my luck." The two guests were dressed in suits and bright red ties, which were very eye-catching.
"And what are you talking about egg powder?"
"Have you ever drunk malt cream?"
"I've drunk it."
"It's pretty much the same as that."
"It's the first time I've heard of it."
Outsiders, 'egg powder', immediately reminded Guo Kaiqing of the "egg for electronic watch" back then, and just when he wanted to continue listening, someone shouted under his buttocks.
"Are you going up or down?" An old man shouted loudly when he saw Guo Kaiqing blocking the entrance of the stairs.
"Oh, I'll go up." While Guo Kaiqing was speaking, the guests upstairs and the owner of the teahouse all looked towards the stairs.
"Brother, is there something wrong?"
"Oh, big brother, I'll settle the bill, it's been a long time since I've been out, I'm going back."
"The money is not in a hurry, if you come every day, you can keep accounts."
"No, I don't have a good memory, and if I forget, it will be a problem."
The owner of the teahouse calculated the tea money for Guo Kaiqing. I didn't add the money for the noodles to it, "That thing is not worth much, if you eat well, you can come a few more times." ”
"I'm sorry, I heard you guys say that the guests upstairs were pouring 'egg powder', what is that?" Guo Kaiqing really looks like a "stupid soldier", while he is honest, he is still looking up the stairs.
"They are buyers at the joint venture factory in City G, and they say that they will collect some eggs to make egg powder. said that it was delicious, but I didn't know if it was real or fake. ”
"Oh, it's made of eggs, I don't think it's any worse, big brother. I've got a little bit of something to do, so I'll go first. ”
Come out of the teahouse. Guo Kaiqing kept looking at the second floor. I saw the owner of the teahouse walk to the guest's table again, and through the window, it can be seen that they are "hating to see each other late", talking and laughing.
The local police station is very efficient, and after a day of investigation, all local residents. There were no suspicious people, and Brother Qi thanked the director, and then handed over the materials brought by the director to Guo Kaiqing to see.
"It's so thick. Didn't you say that there were only a few people at the police station? ”
"A few people are police officers, and there are also those who usually assist in service, so the number should not be very small."
"Oh, then you can help me see if there is a person named Chu Shan, find out his page for me."
This person called "Chushan" is more than 20 years older than Guo Kaiqing, judging from his family situation, he has not found any problems, he has an old mother and a younger sister, the younger sister got married more than ten years ago, he and his old mother depend on each other, and the source of life is not only farming, that is, the annual "veteran and disabled servicemen subsidy".
"Second brother, are you getting better so soon?" As soon as Zhang Jian walked into the office, he called "Second Brother", and Seventh Brother looked at him, and he immediately covered his mouth with his hand.
"Just call it, it's okay." Guo Kaiqing said disapprehantly.
"Second brother, when you go to the teahouse when you get old, do you want to find some news?" Zhang Jian immediately said Guo Kaiqing's thoughts.
"At first, but now it's not all, I fell in love with tea, and the tea here is so delicious."
"You mean 'light leaves'?"
"Like, so."
"That tea is too expensive, I can't afford it."
"Extra money, huh? I'll try it someday. When Brother Qi heard that there was good tea, he also interjected.
"Six cents a cup, I have this money in my pocket, I can't drink for a few days, I'd better save the money, I want to buy a motorcycle."
"Isn't it Bamao?"
"Bamao? Oh, that's probably the price increase, the price for the first two years was six cents, and I drank it a few times when I first came here. ”
"Whether it's six cents or eight cents, the tea is delicious." The seventh brother was eager to try, and he was about to run out of the city to drink tea.
"Although this tea is good, you can't drink too much." Zhang Jian said unhurriedly like a doctor.
"What's going on?"
"In winter, no one drinks his tea, and he drinks black tea in winter, and after the New Year, this tea will be old, and the taste will not be good, so I guess that he must have seen the living, so he came forward to recommend it, and the sooner the tea is sold out, the better."
Guo Kaiqing thought about it, and it was true, since he said last time that he wanted expensive tea, he was given this tea after that, and only he could afford to drink such expensive tea.
"What are you looking for?"
"I met a man named Chu Shan in the teahouse, and I wanted to see what was going on at his house."
At the mention of 'Chu Shan', Zhang Jian's face became not very good-looking, "Didn't you find out anything?" ”
"No, it is written on this material that he and his mother depend on each other, I have asked the owner of the teahouse, he is just free to drink tea in the teahouse when he is not working."
Guo Kaiqing also noticed Zhang Jian's "wrong" face, he didn't ask, but changed the topic, "Who of you knows 'egg powder'?" ”
"Second brother, I know this." Seventh Brother spoke a second after Guo Kaiqing finished speaking.
"Do you know the way?"
"Yes, I read a book before, it is about resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, which tells the story of egg powder, saying that the soldiers of the United States have it in the food distributed, and the appearance is canned milk powder, with a war basin with some water, and egg powder, boiled and eaten, said that its nutritional value is much higher than milk powder, and it is used to enhance the physical strength of soldiers."
"Have you ever heard of it being sold in China?"
"I haven't heard of that."
Guo Kaiqing felt that this was very important information, and he immediately called Zhang Wenzhi, "Big brother?" ”
"I am." On the other end of the phone was Zhang Wenzhi, who had been waiting for Guo Kaiqing's call.
"You can help me check through your connections, in G City, is there a company that produces egg powder, if there is, help me check it, I can use it."
"I'm so tired, I'll do it right away."
Seeing that it was about to get dark, Seventh Brother and Zhang Jianyi discussed, they planned to mix the soldiers of the two platoons to "stand guard", with the soldiers of Zhang Jian's platoon acting as the "sentry commander", and Seventh Brother's subordinates as "sentinels", not to engage in "double double whistles" first, but Seventh Brother and Zhang Jian also had to be responsible for checking the sentry at night, just in case.
Led by a new soldier, the veterans of the 'Zhang Wenzhi Company' were very unconvinced, but there was no way, when they went to the watchtower with guns, they found that the scenery here was not the same as they imagined, looking around, the mood was very cheerful.
"No wonder you love to stand on top all day long, this little wind blows, cool, by the way, can you let in this watchtower?"
"You can't go in without rain."
"Oh, can you listen to the radio?"
"You have a radio?"
"Yes."
"If you are tired, I will go up and replace you, anyway, you should pay attention, our platoon commander is amazing, if he catches you lazy, three hundred push-ups, watch you finish before pulling down."
The veterans stuck out their tongues, and with the lesson of the 'sleeping post' the night before, they were also much more clever, and they were also nervous.
Guo Kaiqing's cold, although it was better, but he still went to bed early, the soldiers in the same room, are all from the 'Zhang Wenzhi Company', they closed the window today, Guo Kaiqing wanted to open a door, as soon as he opened it, he asked the squad leader in the same room to close it.
"Second brother, you want all of us to catch a cold."
"Okay, just don't open it." Guo Kaiqing came to a 'second-level sleep' and slept hard.
In the early morning of the next day, the seventh brother ran to Guo Kaiqing's bed in a hurry, "Oh no, second brother, what do you think this is?" ’
"Machine gun bullet chains? Where did this come from? ”
"When the sentry changed in the morning, the sentry of the watchtower found it on the house."
"Let's go, find Zhang Jian."
On the room of the arsenal, a rusty chain of heavy machine gun bullets was found, this was the first time for Zhang Jian, he had a lot of cold sweat on his head, and looked at that thing silently.
"Were you still in the tree last night?"
"yes, I've been coming up from the trees, and I haven't seen anyone come up."
"That's strange, who would evade our sentinels and make such a joke with us, it seems that you have to be careful at night, if not, you can stand on double guards." This bullet chain was discovered by the soldiers of the "Zhang Wenzhi Company", and after he saw it, he immediately notified the seventh brother, fortunately, it was an old chain, if it was a new one, it must be a "big accident".
"Tell the soldiers, don't spread the word, don't have discussions, from now on, no one is allowed to go out, do you know the way?" Guo Kaiqing said categorically.
"Okay, we'll set it up right away." After Seventh Brother and Zhang Jian gathered all the personnel, they announced the "order" that they were not allowed to go out.
"Some people may know the way, what happened in the morning, I won't say much here, if you know the way, you will know the way, if you don't know the way, don't ask, from now on, no one is allowed to go out, do you hear clearly?" Zhang Jian shouted loudly.
"I know it." The soldiers of Zhang Jianplatoon replied loudly, but the soldiers of the 'Zhang Wenzhi Company' did not reply, and they were still talking to each other.
"Didn't you hear what Platoon Commander Zhang said, are you boys deaf?" Seeing that his own soldiers were so lacking in "quality", the seventh brother darkened his face and shouted at his own team.
"I hear you."
"Be louder, I didn't hear it, like a mosquito."
"Heard-got it."
"Very good, you all have to remember that here, Platoon Commander Zhang Jian is also your direct leader, and his words are my words, that is, orders."
The soldiers of the "Zhang Wenzhi Company" immediately stood up straight, and they stopped talking. (To be continued......)
