Chapter 1376 Yangcheng Lake
Chapter 1376 Yangcheng Lake
Endless reed marshes are scattered along the pearl-like shores of the lake.
North shore of Yangcheng Lake.
Xiaojing Village.
There is a simple teahouse at the entrance of the village, which is similar to the Tiger Stove in Shanghai. The owner of the teahouse will boil hot water and sell it to the boat people returning home from the water. Occasionally, he will also sell country snacks such as glutinous rice cakes and fried fruits.
In the drizzle of winter rain, a black-sailed boat emerged from the reed marsh.
Yao Dali glanced at the shabby teahouse at the dilapidated dock at the entrance of the village and nodded to Fu Bangzhen, "Brother Fu, the Pearl Teahouse is in front."
The Pearl Tea House is named not because there are pearls in the tea, but because the hostess of the tea house is named Pearl.
Rui Zhenzhu is a virtuous daughter-in-law praised by everyone in Xiaojing Village. She never slacks off in her work and does everything admirably, including taking care of her mother-in-law, raising children, and serving her husband.
Even when running this teahouse, the tea is always boiled and he never cheats people. If he meets a poor guest, he will even waive the tea fee.
"Sister Pearl." Yao Dali shouted loudly.
As he spoke, he moored the boat at the shore, tied it up, and jumped off the boat.
Fu Bangzhen also got off the boat and followed Yao Dali into the tea room.
……
When Rui Zhenzhu heard someone calling, her brows frowned slightly. The person's voice sounded a little unfamiliar.
This made her more alert.
"Sister Zhenzhu, bring me a pot of hot tea." Yao Dali said.
Rui Zhenzhu, who was busy, glanced at Yao Dali and confirmed that this person was indeed someone she didn't know.
She wiped the water stains on her apron and said with a smile, "Big brother is here, where is this from?"
"Yaojiawa." Yao Dali sat down on the bench and took the half pot of warm tea left by someone on the table and gulped it down. "Where's Brother Luo? Is he on the boat?"
Rui Zhenzhu was stunned: "From Yaojiawa?"
Yao Dali smiled and said, "I'm looking for Brother Luo."
Rui Zhenzhu suddenly realized: "You are looking for the child's father, my husband's surname is Lu."
"Reed?" Yao Dali asked, "Or is it the reed chicken?"
"Are you taking advantage of me because I can't read?" Rui Zhenzhu laughed. "I don't even know which one is the reed in Luwei or Luhua Chicken."
"Sister Zhenzhu can't read?" Yao Dali pretended to be surprised. "Oh, I remembered it wrong. I thought that if you run a teahouse and have to do the accounting, you must know how to count."
"You can do the math even if you don't know how to count." Sister Pearl said with a smile, and came up with a kettle to pour tea for the two guests.
……
"My man is the third child in my family, not the second." Rui Zhenzhu corrected, seeming to care about this very much.
"It was my fault." Yao Dali quickly apologized.
"It doesn't matter." Rui Zhenzhu said.
"Sister Zhenzhu, please tell Brother Lu San." Yao Dali lowered his voice and said, "The reed chicken got lost."
"Where have you gone?"
"He fell into the old well at Yanqiao."
"Who are you?" Rui Zhenzhu asked excitedly.
"We are from Shanghai, following the orders of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee." Yao Dali pointed at Fu Bangzhen, "This is Comrade Feng. We have important information to meet with Comrade Luo Kedi."
……
After hearing what the other party said, Rui Zhenzhu finally felt relieved.
Compared with the code words, this comrade was able to point out that the team was now led by Comrade Luo Kedi, not Comrade Xie Xueren. Only the underground party comrades who knew the team's situation very well knew this:
The Jiangkang Army moved north, and the new Jiangkang Army was established with the wounded and sick officers and soldiers who stayed in Yangcheng Lake to recuperate as the framework.
When the Xinjiang Anti-Japanese Army was first established, it was indeed led by Comrade Xie Xueren. However, Comrade Xie Xueren was seriously injured and lacked food and medicine, and his physical condition was very bad. Therefore, Comrade Xie Xueren personally appointed Comrade Luo Kedi to act as commander.
However, to the outside world, it was still claimed that Comrade Xie Xueren was the top leader of the team.
Therefore, when Rui Zhenzhu heard that this comrade specifically asked to see Comrade Luo Kedi, she knew that he was right.
Comrade Rui Zhenzhu called her child to lead the two comrades into the village.
As soon as Fu Bangzhen entered the room, he saw his comrade struggling to sit up, and his eyes couldn't help but well up.
"Ahai!" Fu Bangzhen came to the bedside, held Ahai's hands, and said excitedly.
……
"Mr. Cheng," wearing a neat senior police officer's uniform and escorted by a group of bodyguards, walked through the busy halls and corridors, went straight up to the second floor, and came to the private room that had been reserved long ago.
About a few minutes later.
Atsuto Kawada, dressed in a neat suit, also came to Chunfengdeyi Building accompanied by a sturdy man.
"Master Du, Mr. Cheng is already in the private room." Li Hao greeted him at the door of Chunfengdeyi Building.
Kawada Atsuto nodded slightly, motioning Li Hao to lead the way.
Haozi stood at the stairs on the second floor to welcome guests.
He noticed that after Kawada Atsuto entered the room, he first glanced around the hall with his peripheral vision, then nodded slightly.
Funaki Naoya, who was beside Atsuto Kawada, always had a gentle and humble smile on his face. He followed Atsuto Kawada obediently, saying a word or two from time to time, which made Atsuto Kawada smile.
"Mr. Funaki, I've long heard of your name." Cheng Qianfan took the initiative to shake hands with Funaki Naoya.
"Mr. Cheng, I know your name very well." Naoya Funaki said with a serious face, "I am lucky to meet you today. Mr. Cheng is indeed as handsome as the rumors say."
"Master Du Ren said that Mr. Funaki was born with a clever tongue, but I didn't really believe it at first." Cheng Qianfan sighed, "After meeting Mr. Funaki today, I finally realized how wonderful the phrase 'like a spring breeze' is. The ancients were right."
While Kentaro Miyazaki and Naoya Funaki were chatting, Atsuto Kawada was leisurely sipping tea and eating snacks.
That was the communication between Miyazaki-kun and the Osaka merchant Naoya Funaki. He would not participate in it, nor did he bother to participate.
Cheng Qianfan cast a look of gratitude towards Kawada Atsuto.
For Atsuto Kawada, a young nobleman, the fact that he was able to bring Naoya Funaki to introduce him to Kentaro Miyazaki shows that he cherishes Kentaro Miyazaki very much.
Atsuto Kawada smiled slightly. For him, it was only natural for the young nobleman to share the money. What he was doing now was out of friendship.
As for Funaki Naoya, he would not have any dissatisfaction. The fact that Kawada Atsuto was willing to bring him to meet Cheng Qianfan was in itself a gift and support for this poor merchant from Osaka.
Of course, what made Naoya Funaki most happy was that he could take this opportunity to get in touch with the famous Mr. Cheng in the French Concession.
Cheng Qianfan has a reputation for being greedy and lustful, but in the eyes of Funaki Naoya, the greedy 'Little Cheng' is actually a leader in the black market business in the French Concession in Shanghai, and a wealthy businessman who radiates golden light all over his body.
