"Wonton, there doesn't seem to be any old wonton in Southern Copper Gong Alley, right?”
"Uncle, I know a very good restaurant. There's a restaurant that sells dumplings. The taste is very good.”
When He Shaoqing heard that, he was instantly interested. The street stalls in the 49 City all had authentic food, but compared to some century-old shops, the taste was far inferior.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and eat!"
Fuxue Alley was located between Dongzhimen and South Copper Gong Alley. It only took a few minutes to walk from Dongzhimen to South Copper Gong Alley. Therefore, from South Copper Gong Alley to Dongzhimen, it was the most densely populated area in the capital.
Firstly, there were many factories near Dongzhimen. Secondly, it was very close to the Forbidden City, which was equivalent to the place where the emperor lived.
He Shaoqing and the other two had just come out of the alley when they saw Wang Hongying and Cheng Jun. They were sitting in wheelchairs, looking like they were going out for dinner.
Wang Hongying and her wife also seemed to have noticed He Shaoqing. They were about to turn around when He Shaoqing rushed over with an umbrella in his hand.
"Hello, Guild Leader."
Cheng Jun did not know that his team had expanded, so he still called out,"He Shaoqing."
"Why did you leave the hospital? I remember the doctor saying that you have to rest well.”
"Maybe it's because he's been in the hospital for a long time, so he's a little depressed. We saw the doctor and said that he can be discharged, but he can't make too big a move.”
He Shaoling nodded. After entering the city, he had someone bring Cheng Jun to the hospital. The next day, he found out about Cheng Jun's injuries from Shi Tou. The doctor said that he was recovering well and could leave soon.
" Have you eaten?" Qin Sheng looked at Qin Sheng and asked.
"I was going to go, but I just moved and haven't cooked yet. I just wanted to find a place to eat on the street.”
"By the way, my nephew said that there's a very delicious wonton shop nearby. We can try it.”
The two of them nodded. They were both thinking about what to eat.
"Zhu Zi, Yu 'er, call Aunt Wang and Uncle Cheng.”
Wang Hongying and Cheng Jun were both around 30 years old, younger than his brother by a few years. There was nothing wrong with calling him aunt.
"Hello, Uncle Cheng and Auntie Wang."
On the way back, He Shaoqing told Wang Hongying about his brother. After all, Wang Hongying was his brother's person-in-charge. The two of them would meet sooner or later.
The two of them walked to the stall and found that it was already filled with people. There were also many people eating at the side.
Just then, a table of guests had left. Under He Shaoqing's lead, everyone sat down.
Not only did they sell wontons, but they also sold wonton noodles, dumpling noodles, and so on.
He Shaoqing didn't know what Wang Hongying and her husband liked, so he didn't choose any dishes for them.
"Hurry up and find something to eat!"
" I'll eat wontons," Qin Sheng said bluntly.
Before He Shaoqing could finish, Zhu Zi had already shouted. He Shaoqing glared at him fiercely." Can't you be quieter when you're here?”
"Captain, do you want some dumplings?”
"Five dumplings, four big and one small."
The small basin was used to hold the rain, of course. This little girl was only four years old, so a small basin could not hold it.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
The business in the shop was very good, but they had to wait for a while before the dishes could be served.
"I've been quite busy recently and didn't have time to arrange a place for you to stay. I'll get someone to ask around for you tomorrow.”
"Captain, don't worry. Our son is still at home. The two of us are enough."
He Shaoqing waved his hand. He naturally had to honor his words. Otherwise, he would go back on his words and go against his principles.
"I will try my best to get it for you. Don't worry, I will get someone to tell you."
Just as they were chatting, three people in uniforms walked out from the other end of the street. There were two women and one man. He Shaoqing didn't know who these three people were, but from Cheng Jun's expression, he should know them.
"You know who I am?"
Cheng Jun nodded." Okay."
"I know. This gentleman is Zhang Tao, the former commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 772nd Regiment. The short-haired woman is Yang Yun, and the other is Zhao Qing. I heard that the three of them have been transferred to the police station in Sijiu City."
When He Shaoqing heard Cheng Jun's words, he turned around and looked at the three of them. The 772nd Regiment originally belonged to Blind Cheng, but Blind Cheng was transferred to the 2nd Regiment two years ago, so the 772nd Regiment became unowned. They were all under the command, and now the 772nd Regiment just happened to join the 20th Regiment.
"Why don't we go over and meet?"
Cheng Jun's back was facing the three of them. The three of them were talking and did not notice He Shaoqing. In addition, the three of them did not know who the other party was, so they did not go over to greet him.
"There's no need. I don't have much of a relationship with them. It was during the 1944 Yu-Xiang-Gui Battle, our two regiments fought a tough battle with the Japanese in Henan. At that time, Zhao Tao didn't even become a company commander before he was stopped by us. It wasn't until 1946, when we entered the Dabie Mountains, that we heard about this person.”
At this moment, the innkeeper served five bowls of wontons. He Shaoqing signaled for everyone to start eating.
He Shaoqing placed his small bowl of rice in the rain. Because the stool in the shop was too low, the rain could not hit him, so he could only hold her in his arms.
He Shaoqing ate very quickly in the rain. In addition, he was not full yet, so he ordered several dumplings. It took him more than 20 minutes to finish them.
"Big brother, pay up!"
Just as He Shaoqing was about to ask his big brother to pay the bill, Zhang Tao's table suddenly shouted. He Shaoqing could only wait for his big brother to pay the bill.
"Big brother, how much are these three portions?"
"If you want silver, it's 80 cents each.”
At this moment, Zhang Tao placed his chopsticks on the table and said,
"What if we don't have silver coins?"
" Two for one bowl, 15 for Big Head Yuan, and 18 for Little Head Sun. You can change your own money. If you want to use something in exchange, 100 cloths for one meter, 500 grams of salt for one bowl, two pills for one bowl, and cigarettes…"
Before he could finish his sentence, Zhang Tao suddenly smashed the chopsticks in his hand on the table.
"You even bought cigarettes?"
The two women sitting next to him quickly pulled Zhang Tao back.
"Senior Brother Zhang, don't!"
Then, he added,
"Then, how much is your reward?”
Zhao Qing quickly took out a wad of money from her pocket and stuffed it into the man's hand.
"Pay up!"
One had to know that the RMB had been circulating for a long time, but that was in the Jiefang District. Beijing had just been liberated, so there was no chance for it to circulate at all.
The stall owner took the money and counted it.
"What is RMB?"
"New banknotes issued by the Chinese government."
The stall owner shook his head and returned the money to them.
"No, what Old Jiang gave me, what Japan gave me, and what the Chinese government gave me, none of it!”
In the city, the price of wontons and noodles was the same, about two copper coins for a bowl. Since a year ago, no one had sold golden yuan certificates.
"However, RMB is universal. In these two days, we can use it in the bank.”
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper shook his head.
"Just you wait. My small shop can't afford so much money. If I don't spend money, how can I eat in the future?”
At this moment, Zhang Tao shouted angrily,"
"Other than RMB, we have nothing."
He Shaoqing hated people like Zhang Tao. Although he couldn't say that he was bad, he had to abide by the local rules before the circulation of currency in the city. He didn't want to force others to do so.
Zhao Qing seemed to have said a few words to a short-haired girl beside her, then she took out a piece of paper from her bosom and handed it to the shopkeeper.
However, He Shaoqing still saw something wrong from their actions. Why did they fold the things that were used to pay the bill repeatedly? After so many years of experience in the army, He Shaoqing felt that there was something fishy between the owner of this noodle shop and the short-haired woman.
"Cheng Jun, what do you know about this short-haired woman?”
He Shaoqing didn't want to jump to conclusions. If he was arrested, he wouldn't be able to explain it to the higher-ups.
"What is it?"
Cheng Jun didn't understand why his captain would say that. He Shaoqing lowered his voice and whispered into Cheng Jun's ear,"
"This short-haired woman's action of handing the money to Big Brother is very strange. I think they should be sending a message.”
"Captain, are you talking about this Yang Yun?”
Seeing that the three of them were about to leave, He Shaoqing quickly lowered his voice and said,
"Beware of eavesdropping."
Hearing this, Cheng Jun did not hesitate and whispered Yang Yun's information. Hearing this, He Shaoqing's expression became serious. When Cheng Jun mentioned Yang Yun's identity, he had already guessed her identity.
Yang Yun was the daughter of a rich family who had studied in England. Logically speaking, she should have been influenced by capitalists, so it was very likely that she had defected to the National Party as soon as she came back, because the National Party was an official institution in China.
He Shaoqing decided to send someone to investigate Yang Yun. The defeat of the National Party was already a certainty. Not only in the city, but there were also many military spies.
"Boss, the bill."
He Shaoqing did not intend to alert the enemy. He not only wanted to investigate Yang Yun, but also the person who sold dumplings.
Because He Shaoqing did not have any RMB on him, he did not exchange RMB for RMB. Anyway, he was on the front line, so it was useless for him to exchange RMB.
When paying the bill, He Shaoqing looked at the boss from the corner of his eye. From the outside, he was a very normal person, but this was often faked. It was not obvious from the outside.
Cheng Jun, relax. Don't think too much about it. Just treat it as a vacation."
"Yes, Captain."
After watching the two leave, He Shaoqing did not delay. He still had things to do at noon today, especially with Yang Yun and the owner of the dumpling shop. He had to go back and make some arrangements.
Along the way, He Shaoqing bought many pastries for Yu 'er. These pastries were all promised to her. Seeing her holding the pastries happily, He Shaoqing's originally heavy heart finally relaxed.
When he returned to the Siheyuan, his brother, He Daqing, was not home. Perhaps it was because Lou Bancheng's matter had not been resolved, or perhaps it was because he had already started working.
"Dazhu, when are you coming?"
"I'm leaving soon. Uncle, what's the matter?”
"No need, you do your thing. I'll let Yu 'er sleep and then leave."
