I carry a space ring: Travel back to 1939

Chapter 214: Retire from the underworld. Do you have a golden basin?

Gu Wenxuan brought two wine glasses, poured two glasses of wine, and the two of them started drinking at the table.

Gu Wenxuan ate two pieces of twice-cooked pork with fermented black beans. This twice-cooked pork was unique and really delicious.

Wang Xiaoya lay beside the table and watched them eat twice-cooked pork.

Gu Wenxuan took a pair of new chopsticks, picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork, and put it to the little girl's mouth.

The little girl shook her head and said, "My father told us not to eat the guests' food casually. We have made money from selling our food. If we eat the guests' food like this, we are taking advantage of them. This is not good!"

This sentence made Gu Wenxuan laugh out loud. This little girl is so funny and sensible!

"It's okay, little girl. Even if I treat you to this piece of meat, good things should be shared. It's not fun to eat alone!"

Although the little girl's family runs a restaurant, they don't usually eat very well and rarely eat this kind of meat!

Although Chef Wang runs a restaurant and deals with meat every day, his wife is chronically ill, so the family's financial situation is not very good.

Otherwise, how could the little girl, who is at this age and should be in school, be serving dishes in her own restaurant?

After all, she was a child, and after Gu Wenxuan's persuasion, the little girl finally couldn't help but eat a piece of their own twice-cooked pork.

Of course, after eating one piece, the little girl didn't care anymore and started to eat the second and third pieces of meat. She looked so cute when eating meat that Gu Wenxuan amused her so much that he asked her to taste other dishes.

Chef Wang poked his head out from the kitchen and watched his daughter eating the food after being persuaded by the two guests. He smiled and shook his head and did not disturb his daughter. At most, he would charge the guests a little less money later as a small compensation to the guests.

Besides, this Jianghu kid often takes advantage of me, so he is considered a familiar customer.

At this time, Chef Wang personally brought out the braised carp made from a 5-jin rock carp.

Jia Wenxuan knew that this dish of carp was really delicious with just one sniff.

This is typical Sichuan cuisine. He couldn't eat such delicious Sichuan cuisine in Peking. It was a great enjoyment for him to taste it with his eyes closed and his nose alone!

When Chef Wang saw Gu Wenxuan's enjoying expression, he thought the young man was very funny.

"Sir, aren't you from Sichuan? I hear you speak with a Sichuan accent. Could it be that your ancestors are from Sichuan?"

Gu Wenxuan smiled and said, "Yes, our hometown is in Jiangyang City above, which is not very far from here!"

"Oh, Jiangyang is indeed not far away. This Luzhou Laojiao is produced there!"

"You are also from Jiangyang, so you must have tasted Luzhou Laojiao often. It seems like you haven't had this kind of wine for a long time?"

"My hometown is there, but I've been away from home for a long time. I don't know how long it has been since I last had this kind of wine. That's why I look so greedy. The chef is laughing at me!"

"Oh, I see. Where is this gentleman from?"

"I came from the ancient capital of Peking to visit a friend in the mountain city and buy some mountain products to bring back!"

"That's great. We don't have anything in this mountain town, but we have a lot of mountain products, and they're really cheap!"

Chef Wang said a few words and went back to his kitchen to work, because there were other guests in their restaurant at that time.

At this time, Jianghu asked Gu Wenxuan:

"Brother Wenxuan, what mountain products do you want to buy when you come to the mountain city? I am familiar with these things and know the prices. If you want to buy them, I will take you there and I will definitely not let them sell them at a high price!"

"I mainly buy tung oil, and I buy in large quantities. I am not afraid of them ripping me off. If they want to rip me off, I won't buy from them. I buy in large quantities, so many people will rush to sell to me."

Jiang Hu was very surprised and asked, "Why did you buy so much tung oil? Are you going to build a ship?"

In the minds of the people, tung oil is applied on wooden boats to make them waterproof, and it seems to have no other use!

How could a kid like him know that tung oil is now a strategic material.

But in a backward place like Sichuan Province, no one knew that something that almost every household had could become a strategic material.

This is a paint developed by American experts from tung oil that can be used on new warships.

Therefore, they purchase large quantities of this tung oil from all over the world. The production of this tung oil is mainly in China, and mainly in the southwestern provinces and cities of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, where this local specialty is produced in large quantities.

Gu Wenxuan couldn't openly tell this world so much, he just said:

"I bought a lot of this tung oil, of course for business, I bought it and sold it in Shanghai, there were many foreigners who wanted to buy this tung oil.

I don’t know what they do, but I just want to make a little money and help increase the income of the people in our area!”

Jiang Hu said, "Don't buy this kind of tung oil in the city. It's much cheaper if you buy it in the countryside. Almost every household in the countryside has this kind of stuff!"

"Well, you organize a group of people to go to the towns and villages to buy this tung oil and other mountain products for me. I will give you a commission, and you will stop being a thief. What do you think?"

Jianghu immediately agreed:

“Brother Wenxuan, we have a good relationship. I don’t need any commission from you. I just need to follow you and have food and drink.

Do you think I want to be a thief? A thief has to be prepared to be beaten at any time. This is also the only solution we have, and we have been used to this business since childhood.

No one has led us to change our ways. Today, after meeting Brother Wenxuan, I have decided to retire from evil!"

Jiang Hu looked so old-fashioned that even Gu Wenxuan laughed.

Chef Wang brought out the dishes and after hearing Jiang Hu's words, he couldn't help but jokingly said:

"Jianghu! Do you have a golden basin? You're still retiring, you're so fucking funny!"

Everyone in the restaurant started laughing; everyone was familiar with each other!

Wang Xiaoya pouted and said, "Brother Jianghu, I have a wooden basin at home, would you like me to lend it to you?"

Gu Wenxuan laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. He hadn't been this happy for a long time.

At this time, two or three policemen walked in. They also found a table and sat down, probably to have a drink.

Among these two or three policemen, one was big and strong with a fleshy face and holding a baton in his hand.

He suddenly saw that the table of Gu Wenxuan and the others was basically filled with wine and food, and they were all delicious meat dishes.

His eyes lit up, and he saw the world. He knew this guy, the thief in this section. Did he do a big business today? I have to give him a beating and make him pay respect to me.

The tall policeman stood up, walked to the table where Gu Wenxuan and the others were sitting, and knocked on the table with his baton.

"Hey, Jianghu, you three-handed guy, did you get rich today? You made so many hard dishes?"

Gu Wenxuan was very dissatisfied with the rude knock on the table by his baton and looked back at him.

When the tall policeman saw Gu Wenxuan looking at him with dissatisfaction, he immediately became unhappy and felt that his authority was challenged!

"What are you looking at? Stand up and show me your ID. Are you a fugitive or a bandit? Or maybe a Japanese spy or a traitor?"
