Accumulate Wealth in Life

The old film of the Republic of China (2)

The boy knocked on the door outside, "Sir, the hot water you asked for is here."

Two cents, hot water pipe enough.

The fourth master opened the door and called for someone to come in. The young man came in with two big buckets of hot water, "Sir, you can use it while it's hot. Just say hello."

Fourth Master nodded, "It's hard work." Then, remembering something, he asked: "I see you use newspapers to paste the walls. Where can we buy newspapers in our town?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his hands together and said embarrassedly: "Our territory is too small, where can we sell newspapers? Some of the newspapers on the wall were dropped by some hotel guests. Some The shopkeeper went to the city and bought it from an old book stand. It's cheaper than oil paper, and it's good for sticking walls."

Fourth Master and Lin Yutong looked at each other, and then asked again, "What day is the beginning of August today? I've been confused."

"Hey...you are studying abroad, what is the solar calendar." The young man smiled understandingly, "We have to live according to the lunar calendar. Today is the seventh day of the first day, sir."

Seventh grade?

When the little guy left, there were only two people left in the room, and the fourth master shook his head: "Let's freshen up first. No, we can't do anything now. It's not far from Zhoucun, there is a train station in Zhoucun, let's first Get out of here and talk about it. The news in town is too closed."

The two are now in Shandong, far away from the northeast?

Putting the door in, Lin Yutong went into the space to wash up, while the fourth master washed outside. Looking at his face in the mirror after grooming, Lin Yutong felt a little uncomfortable for a while. This face is actually pretty, but compared to the previous face, it's really not ugly enough. Picked up the scissors and trimmed the messy hair. Although the short hair looks very capable, but to be honest, it is a bit strange to have such a head now. Helpless, I rummaged through the boxes and found a lot of top hats. I casually found a woolen button on my head and looked at it, which made it more pleasing to the eye.

Clothes follow. Fourth Master's clothes are easy to handle. Underwear socks, shirts, autumn clothes, long pants, vests, jackets, leather shoes, are all complete sets. All sizes are available. Although the appearance is somewhat different from today's, it does not take a big size. When I got to Lin Yutong, the problem was much more difficult. There are cheongsams, exquisite, elegant, thin, thick, clip, long-sleeved, short-sleeved, sleeveless, all sizes are complete, everything is available. But there is a problem, that is, all the cheongsam slits are too big. When she was on the street just now, she also noticed that most of the women on the street were not wearing cheongsams. The lower body is full of trousers with wide trouser legs, and then the trouser legs are wrapped with leggings. This kind of attire...Wear it on your body, and then follow the fourth master in a suit? Is this a girl or a mother! She absolutely cannot accept this! Thinking of the clothes of Mrs. Guo and that little sister Lu, Lin Yutong chose a plain cheongsam with gray and white plaids, which was quite appropriate. I chose the green butterfly plate button again, and fastened the button on the fork. She had already noticed that Miss Lu's cheongsam was split in the middle of her calf, while Mrs. Guo, as a noblewoman, was more reserved, splitting on the lower part of her calf, just above her ankle.

It can be matched with Chinese embroidered shoes, but if you want to look better, you still have to wear high-heeled leather shoes.

Lin Yutong was in a hurry. Holding the cheongsam in his hand, he couldn't help complaining that he was fooled by the TV movies of later generations.

After the modification is done, Lin Yutong can't help but sigh when wearing it, this beauty always has a price. The price is freezing. The cheongsam looks good, you have to wear stockings. In today's day, with bare feet, calves and ankles only wearing stockings, can you not freeze people? I read Eileen Chang's novels before, and she wrote about frostbite on her legs when she wore a cheongsam in winter. It seems that this is true.

Lin Yutong directly wore flesh-colored leggings, black low-heeled leather shoes, and turned out a beige woolen coat.

As soon as this outfit went out, the fourth master took off Lin Yutong's hat and looked at it again. A cheongsam with short hair? "Let's wear your hat."

Lin Yutong put the hat on the kang, and then looked at the box that the fourth master had opened.

The fourth master has already made the situation of the original body clear: "In the box is the entire net worth of this Yin Zhen."

Two changes of clothes, a few foreign language books, and a passport. The passport is opened, and there is a black and white two-inch photo on the left page. Below is the life, age, place of origin and other information. On the right page is the relevant official document filled in by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is covered with a red stamp.

Lin Yutong looked it over again, and found three big oceans in the corner of the box. "What's the situation in this family? Since it can provide for my son to stay in the ocean, it's a bit wealthy. Why do you bring so many things when you go out?"

"He came back before he graduated." The fourth master sighed, "My mother died early, and my father became seriously ill a year ago. My brother wrote a letter to ask him to come back. Who would have known that after returning from the United States, his father had been buried for three months. There are only two brothers in the family, and the younger brother spent a lot of money going abroad, so the elder brother and sister-in-law are naturally not happy. In the end, the property belongs to the elder brother, he only took the box he brought back, and the rest These are..."

Lin Yutong handed Dayang over and asked the fourth master to put it in his pocket, "Is it enough for us to make a train?"

"Let's go and have a look. It's really not good, go to Zhoucun and exchange it there." The fourth master weighed the ocean in his hand, "You said that the child is stupid enough, and he asked him to exchange all the dollars on his body for banknotes and silver dollars. But fortunately, I also know that I can get the paper money first."

Is not shrewd.

There was not much money on him, and he didn't dare to ask for food. Lin Yutong took out the canned buns from the space, and the two of them ate together. I didn't close my eyes all night last night, so I stopped early after eating. When he lay down, Lin Yutong suddenly remembered, "I don't have any identity or a way to go out, can I do it?"

"There is no such thing as an ID card yet. It seems that it was only in the 25th year of the Republic of China that an ID card was obtained." The fourth master turned around and pinched Lin Yutong's stubby arm, "Nowadays, people with identities need it. Documents, official certificates, and passports, for example, are a form of identity. But you are right, there must be something that can prove your identity. Go to the public office in the morning to get a marriage certificate. go."

The marriage certificate has existed since the Qing Dynasty, and it was called Longfengtie at that time. The marriage certificate of the Republic of China is a kind of continuation. Because of the payment of taxes, there are not many marriage certificates, and people rarely spend this unjustifiable money. But decent people will not lose face by saving this money.

Early the next morning, the two dressed in new clothes walked out of the room, and the frightened young man sat on the ground. Isn't this a big change? A little beggar went in yesterday, and today a big girl came out.

After leaving the door of the inn, the two followed the road of yesterday, and after walking for less than 20 minutes, they arrived at the official office.

Because of the relationship with Mrs. Guo, the people inside were very polite when they met the fourth master. I heard that I was going to get a marriage certificate, so I hurriedly agreed. Although it is very rare for both men and women to come in person, but looking at people's foreign style, they thought it was a foreign custom. In fact, this marriage certificate is obtained by a matchmaker with the birth date of both men and women.

The other party doesn't want money, "Are you looking down on me?"

Lin Yutong opened the small wallet in his hand, took a small box and put it on the table, pushed it over, "Bring it to my sister-in-law to play with." Inside was the silver ear pendant that was previously prepared as a reward for the servant. It's a decent gift, but not much money when you get to the pawnshop. Give it to him now, and both owe each other. Besides, don't underestimate the person in this position, at least if you want to get some legal identification, you have to start from this small place. It's a good deal. After coming out of the official office, Lin Yutong had the time to look at the marriage certificate, the size of the certificate, surrounded by patterns of dragons and phoenixes, and four big red fonts in the middle, the marriage certificate. Below are the names, ages, characters, and places of origin of the two people. However, the above blessings make people feel very good, "The two surnames are married, a contract is signed, a good relationship is forever tied, and the matching is the same name. Look at the peach blossoms on this day, Yi Shi IKEA, Butanian melons, Erchang Erchi. I would like to use the white-headed covenant to write to Hongjian, so that the alliance of red leaves can be recorded in the mandarin duck spectrum. This certificate."

After that, the matchmaker, the witness, and the witness, the names written on it, neither Lin Yutong nor the fourth master knew each other. But it doesn't matter, just do it. It can be regarded as solving the problem of Lin Yutong's origin.

She just wanted to put it away, but her eyes fell on the last row of dates: "September 19, 20th year of the Republic of China."

The fourth master brought it over at once and read it carefully: "That's right, yesterday was September 18."

"It's really... a coincidence that we came here!" Lin Yutong took the marriage certificate absently and looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street. The town was still very quiet, and he hadn't received any news.

"Sir, miss, do you want a car?" a timid voice asked behind him.

Fourth Master patted Lin Yutong, then turned around and said, "What car?"

"The mule cart, make sure it's stable." It was a young man in his twenties who spoke, hunched over and nervous.

"Are you going to Zhoucun?" The fourth master glanced at the mule cart on the side, and now I'm afraid he can't find any other means of transportation.

"Go! Go!" He said, and then stretched out his hand, "Five cents...fifty cents." He was a little sullen, probably because the asking price was higher.

The fourth master put the box on the car, and then pulled Lin Yutong into the car. After a long bumpy ride, when he got off the car, he saw the train station.

"I don't think you look like someone from our small place." The coachman pointed to the train station, "I went to the train station yesterday and saw the timetable for the train outside. It's three o'clock in the afternoon. There is a train to Qingdao."

In fact, Fourth Master and Lin Yutong had no idea where they were going. Now I happen to meet the train going to Qingdao, so let's go to Qingdao first.

The two got out of the car and gave the driver a dollar. Watching him keep the silver dollar in the car, and listening to the crisp sound, Lin Yutong realized that this was someone trying to identify the authenticity of the money.

The driver asked for money, and the fourth master waved his hand: "No need. It's hard money." People took the initiative to bring it to the train station, and this hard money is also deserved.

But after entering this small station, Fourth Master regretted it a little. Because there are only two dollars left, which is not enough for a third-class ticket. Train tickets actually go on sale two hours before departure. Zhoucun is a crossing station here, and the train passing by is not so punctual. It was almost one o'clock when Lin Yutong and Fourth Master arrived. When I went in, I didn't expect that there were quite a few people inside. They were all queuing up to buy tickets. They should all be small businessmen, all wearing long coats and short coats. There are also some clothes that are inadvertently eye-catching. At first glance, it is a guy's. It is estimated that they are buying tickets for the owner. Before the tickets were sold, these people were all around the ticket booth, and they couldn't squeeze in at all.

Looking at the ticket price again, both of them were a little dumbfounded. The disadvantage of coming directly to the train station comes out, because there is no time to exchange money.

"It's a mess." Lin Yutong looked around, "How about we go to Zhoucun first?"

"No need." The fourth master stretched out his hand, "give me a silver **** for fifty taels."

Lin Yutong found one and handed it over. She didn't understand it yet when she saw that Fourth Master had already walked towards a man with a black hat and a thick black shirt at the door. She hurriedly followed, and saw the fourth master leaking out the silver naked, "Are there any tickets?"

Emotion is a scalper.

Sure enough, seeing this man's eyes lit up, he looked at Fourth Master's hand again. The fourth master turned the silver naked child over, and the words 'five taels' were printed on the bottom. Seeing that the other party saw it, the fourth master shook his hand, "I don't think you have a first-class or second-class ticket, but you must have a third-class ticket. The third-class seat is two yuan per person, and two people are Five yuan. One ocean is seven cents and two cents, and five is thirty-six cents, which is three taels or six. I am five taels, which is almost an extra two dollars. Your ticket is 50 cents more. Betray, so count, you are not at a loss."

The ticket dealer chuckled, "We're all working hard. Don't look at the 50 cents increase, the 40 cents have to be given to others..." He pointed to the inside of the station, "Sir, you are a sensible person, and we have real money in our hands. That is, there are only third-class tickets. The first- and second-class tickets are reserved for people. We can't get them. Two tickets, we will deal. Just don't give..." He pointed to the inside again, "Don't say it."

"Deal!" Fourth Master said, and put the silver naked child directly into his pocket. The ticket dealer took two tickets and quietly stuffed them over, "The seats next to each other..."

It's like taking care of them more.

After buying a ticket, the two of them stopped crowding. Sit on a bench in the station.

"I didn't expect that there are ticket dealers now." Lin Yutong felt that it was quite refreshing.

The fourth master glanced at the station, "Half of the tickets are sold out at such a high price. ... From top to bottom, no matter the level of the official position, there are few people who are not greedy."

Even the big power of selling tickets has become a tool for making money.

As soon as one o'clock arrived, the door panel of the window opened. People crowded forward, and no one came out to maintain law and order. The most crowded is the window of the third-class ticket, followed by the second-class seat, and the window of the first-class seat is almost empty.

Seeing that many people couldn't squeeze in, they went back to the ticket dealer to buy high-priced tickets.

It was three o'clock and the car hadn't come yet. Lin Yutong was already hungry and his chest was on his back. The fourth master looked out, put the box on the chair to occupy a seat, and went out. Lin Yutong thought he was going to the toilet, but who knew he came back with two roasted sweet potatoes, several meat patties, and half a catty of braised pork.

"Is there food outside the station?" She really didn't pay attention.

The fourth master showed the only big ocean in his hand, "I wanted to buy two roasted sweet potatoes first, let's go to the restaurant to eat in the car. But two roasted sweet potatoes are only a penny, and people can't find them. buy it."

Look poor.

Lin Yutong hurriedly said: "This is donkey meat, I haven't eaten it for a long time. It smells delicious. It's good to eat on the road."

The two of them ate, drank, and filled their stomachs. It was already 4:10, and they were allowed to enter the station only at this time. The platform is a long corridor, and there is no place to sit. All stood in twos and threes. After another half an hour, a roar was heard in the distance.

The train is coming.

From a distance, you can see the thick smoke rising from the train. When she was in front of her, Lin Yutong was taken aback. Who could tell her what happened to the people sitting on the top of this train? As the clanging sound stopped, the fourth master took Lin Yutong to the direction of the locomotive.

"We are in the third-class seat." Lin Yutong reminded as he walked.

The fourth master glanced at Lin Yutong strangely, "It's not cold yet, the third-class seat must be next to the locomotive."

What's the point of this?

She didn't react for a while, what does it mean that the weather is not cold, and the third-class seat is next to the locomotive?

When she was in the carriage, looking at the black ashes on the seats and the disgraced passengers in twos and threes, she finally reacted. Today's trains are all steam engines, and they need to burn coal. When the coal ash is raised, isn't it very dirty? The matter of eating ashes must not be given to first-class passengers.

Thinking of this, Lin Yutong took out the handkerchief and wiped the seat. They are all wood-colored, and it seems that no matter how you wipe them, they are not very clean.

After sitting down, the fourth master explained: "In winter, the first-class seat is in the front. It can be heated by the front."

That's the principle.

Lin Yutong was stunned when he heard it, but before he could talk to him, he heard the noise outside again. It turned out that the station was selling platform tickets for a penny.

Fourth Master hurriedly reached out and closed the window tightly. Lin Yutong just looked at a circle of people who were wearing blue and gray, and who had been patched and couldn't see what color clothes were. There were also those who carried children on their backs, rushed over and climbed the window to the top of the train.

Lin Yutong looked around and saw that the third-class carriage was actually not full. Now this carriage is not very big, but the space between the seats is relatively large, and a carriage looks like thirty or forty seats. There are still a dozen vacancies. But the door of the carriage was closed, and there was no intention of calling anyone outside to come up. And these people never seem to want to squeeze in, sticking to this distinct class. In fact, it is enough to ask them to stand in the carriage, and if they squeeze in, they can definitely stand down.

When the train moved again, it was already an hour later. The sky was slowly getting dark. Seeing so many people on the roof, Lin Yutong guessed that this should be a slow train.

Fourth Master pulled Lin Yutong to get up and whispered, "Bring out a little yellow croaker."

Lin Yutong shoved it to the fourth master, knowing that he was planning to take her to the first-class seat.

The two held hands and walked through the carriage. After five third-class carriages, the second-class carriage was the second-class carriage. The second-class carriage was filled with soft-seat sofa-like seats, with fewer people sitting. , there are no ten people in a carriage. Not everyone can afford five dollars a ticket.

Further down is the restaurant. The restaurant in the car was covered with pale yellow tablecloths, and there were thin-mouthed vases on the table, with one or two plastic decorative flowers inserted in them. There is also a bar at one end, providing some western bread and drinks. Lin Yutong saw a man and a woman, the man was wearing a white suit, and the black and white leather shoes on his feet were very brightly polished. The woman opposite was wearing a cheongsam with red peony on a white background and a piece of valuable fur on her body. The man held a tall glass in his hand, and the red liquid in the glass should be red wine. On the woman's face, there is a piece of bread that has been cut into small pieces, and there is still steaming milk in a glass beside it. Looks petty.

There is a roof between the roof and the compartment, but it seems to be two worlds.

The man holding the wine glass glanced at Fourth Master and Lin Yutong, and raised his glass in greeting. It's really the clothes of these two people, and it looks like they are the same people.

The fourth master nodded to the other party, and the other party immediately said: "wouldyou like adrink"

Fourth Master glanced at Lin Yutong, then raised his eyebrows, "Then I'll disturb you."

The other party sees that the other party understands English, but speaks Chinese. I know that people do not want to speak English in the country.

He immediately followed his kindness and reached out to shake hands with the fourth master: "Hello, Chen Xiangdong."

"Yin Zhen." The fourth master shook hands with each other and called to introduce Lin Yutong, "This is my wife."

Chen Xiangdong immediately stretched out his hand: "It turned out to be Mrs. Yin. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Mr. Chen is very polite." Lin Yutong handed over his hand. This man was very gentleman, and he gently squeezed his fingertips and released it.

But there was no introduction to the woman beside him. When Lin Yutong looked over and saw that this woman was qualified to look at Chen Xiangdong's face, he knew that this person should not be Chen Xiangdong's relatives. Either the relationship is not deep, or it is a chance encounter. Relationships should not be reciprocal.

When the four of them were seated, a waiter stepped forward to pour wine and brought in a steak of Western food. After chatting like this, I realized that Chen Xiangdong came back from the UK. Home is in Shanghai, this time it was just a business trip.

"...Our country's textile technology is really outdated. Nowadays, our domestic printing and dyeing factories basically use grey fabrics from Japan and Germany. Japan is close to us and the freight is cheap, so almost all of them use Japanese grey fabrics. Our factory uses grey fabrics from Japan. , just ordered a state-of-the-art spinning machine from Germany..."

Lin Yutong is mechanically blind. She understands these things roughly, but when it comes to professional components, she doesn't understand them at all.

The fourth master is half a mechanic, and everything in this respect is perfect. So he was very talkative.

Lin Yutong was eating the steak, and thought it was true... It's not as good as the donkey meat that the fourth master bought.

Chen Xiangdong glanced at Lin Yutong, and seeing that the other party was very skilled in western food etiquette, he no longer doubted the identities of these two people.

Lin Yutong didn't pay attention to what the other party was looking at. After eating a steak, he still felt that he had not eaten a serious meal.

The girl opposite suddenly whispered: "Which middle school did Mrs. Yin graduate from? Maybe we are still alumni."

Female students who can go to middle school are now considered new women.

Lin Yutong smiled: "We can't be classmates."

Chen Xiangdong glanced at the girl before saying to Lin Yutong, "Mrs. sister-in-law studied at a university abroad, right?"

In such a short period of time, Mrs. Yin has become Mrs. Sister-in-law.

Lin Yutong pursed his lips and smiled, neither admitting nor denying it. In the eyes of others, this is a default.

It was still cold in the car at night. Especially next to the window, the cold air came through the window, making people shiver. Lin Yutong could clearly feel that the girl opposite was stomping her feet gently. Wearing a cheongsam on such a day, can your legs and feet not be cold?

Lin Yutong took a sip from the glass and listened to what the fourth master was saying to the other party. His voice was a little low, and he couldn't hear it clearly because of the clatter of the train. Immediately after, he saw Fourth Master pushing a gold bar over. Then Chen Xiangdong beckoned to call for a waiter, as if talking about the sleeper.

Originally, Lin Yutong didn't have any hope for the sleeper, how could he be comfortable. But when I really went in, I realized that the sleeper was not only a sleeper, but also a box. There is a sofa inside, and the table top is marble. A not-so-small double bed with a washbasin and toilet on one side of the bed. Although there is no obstruction, it is clean enough. As soon as the door of the carriage is closed, this place becomes a world of its own.

Lin Yutong was also suffocated, and as soon as the door closed, he entered the space to go to the toilet. Leave the outside to the fourth master. Take a shower first, then come out. I saw that the fourth master had already wiped his body with a hot handkerchief. Lin Yutong took it and wiped his back, "What did you tell that Chen Xiangdong?"

"Keep this connection, it will be of great use in the future." The fourth master said, and stopped talking.

Lin Yutong was stunned for a while, and then he understood. Cloth is also an important strategic material.

The bed on the train was more comfortable than expected. Although it is not safe to sleep, it is much better than sitting and freezing. Early the next morning, Chen Xiangdong came over. The two were talking about the textile machine. It was not until the afternoon when the train arrived that Chen Xiangdong hurriedly left his address and told the Fourth Master to send him a telegram or call after he settled down.

This time, the two did not get out of the car with Chen Xiangdong, but waited until the end to get out of the car. When I came out, there was no one in front of the station.

Not far away, there were several rickshaws parked, and the fourth master reached out and called one, "Go to the bank."

One person pulled two people to run, and only five cents were charged when they got there: "If you pull one person, you will get three points. If you pull two people, you will get five cents."

In fact, he said more. Pull one person two cents, one man and one woman, at most three cents. Like them, those who pull alive, one person can pull a hair a day, that is Luck Dao. In addition to the four cents paid to the car dealership, he still lost six cents. One and a half a month is enough for my own chewing. But if a mother-in-law had another child, it would only be enough to drink water.

Fourth Master handed over the only remaining ocean, "It's more than ten miles away, pulling two people, it's hard work."

Lin Yutong nodded at the other party, and then went inside.

The driver took the money and slapped his mouth. He was dishonest, but he didn't expect to meet such a sincere guest.

Lin Yutong hadn't entered the bank's door, but was attracted by the sign hanging at the bank's door. It reads the exchange rate of the bank today for the copper plate. Today, one silver dollar can be exchanged for one hundred and twenty-three coppers.

A man in a long gown frowned and said, "Yesterday I could exchange one hundred and twenty-seven, but today it becomes one white twenty-three."

The woman next to her pulled the man away and said, "I'll have a look tomorrow. It's a big loss for a day's worth of food."

Lin Yutong only felt that the currency at this time was really scratching his head. One silver dollar can be exchanged for about one hundred and twenty-eight copper plates. Why do you say left and right? That's because this exchange rate changes every day. How much is a copper plate worth? Anyway, two copper coins can buy three eggs. For example, when Siye bought sweet potatoes before, he bought two for a penny. If he wanted to buy only one, he could pay with copper plates instead of coins or banknotes. One penny can be exchanged for twelve or three coppers. And this conversion varies from place to place. It's a hassle to buy things. It's no wonder that everyone has to worry about changing change. A copper plate plays a great role in the family. Buying vegetables is enough to fry two meals, and buying tofu is enough to fry a dish. It's only a few coins for men to socialize outside and have a tea circle. Not even a penny.

After doing the math in my mind, I went to the bank. When I saw someone holding two big oceans to save money, the high counter was welded with iron fences, and the transaction had to pass things through the gap. Seeing that the cashier gently threw the silver dollar on the counter, listened with pricked ears, and wiped the edges with two silver dollars before saying to the people outside, "I'm sorry, you can only I'll save one for you. The other, you should keep it first."

The meaning is very obvious, one of the silver dollars is fake.

Seeing the face of saving money instantly changed color, "These bastards, I'll just say, why are you paying the bills neatly here."

The cashier inside glanced at the man sympathetically, and while placing the silver dollar in the arc-shaped slot on the counter for silver dollars, he persuaded: "Boss Zhang, if I can give you one piece, you can be content. What's going on?"

Speaking, the deposit has been filled over there, and this side handed it out, "You are optimistic, now there is a piece of ocean!"

This is called Boss Zhang, and he took the passbook and looked at it with a sad face, before carefully stuffing it into his arms, turned around and went out.

The fourth master stepped forward and lit the gold bar in his hand, and the person inside immediately said, "Wait a moment, I'll ask the manager to go."

Lin Yutong just laughed, this is the same as the VIP business of big depositors.

The manager was wearing a suit and politely asked Fourth Master and Lin Yutong to go inside. Going upstairs is the manager's office. Black leather sofa, marble coffee table. The tea is brewed in a white ceramic teacup and delivered.

This talent asked: "Mr. are planning to change to Ocean?"

Lin Yutong replied, "There are ten-dollar bills and five-dollar copper plates." If you can't just throw out one silver dollar at a time, this is not a person who lives.

The fourth master turned his head and smiled, then nodded.

Seeing that the fourth master and the manager were going to exchange money, Lin Yutong asked the cashier at the front desk who was supporting him, "What happened to the boss just now?"

As soon as the man asked this question, he snorted, "It's not the Tiger Power Gang on the street, a bunch of hooligans. That boss opened a small restaurant, good guy, these guys only eat and don't give money, It is said to be recorded at the end of the month. But this month is delayed by one month, who sees their money? This boss entrusted his cousin's husband's eldest sister's brother-in-law, who was working in the police station. I asked someone to rush it, but I lost face and threw two oceans. Another one is fake! I guess... Boss Zhang's shop can't be opened anymore. At least not in Qingdao."

It turned out to be a trivial matter, "It's hard to do a small business!"

"Who said it wasn't?" The man agreed, and before he could speak again, the fourth master and the manager had already returned.

Lin Yutong saw that the fourth master was carrying a cloth bag, and it seemed that there was still a lot. She stood up in a hurry, and the manager over there also sent people out: "If you save money, just come here and pay you the highest interest rate. If you buy stocks, we can also buy them here, you can rest assured."

He also enthusiastically introduced local hotels, such as Linhai and Bohai, "If you want to buy a house, you have to be in the former German concession, and the houses there are very good."

The two were still thinking so much for the time being, and the house was even more out of consideration, so the two went straight to the Linhai Hotel.

It doesn't cost a dollar to stay a night. The large and comfortable beds, bathrooms and bathrooms all have European architectural styles. There's even a heater inside. Ring the bell in the room and a waiter will serve you. Ordering, eating in the room, no problem at all. I feel that, except for the absence of TV and telephone, it is really comparable to the star-rated hotels of later generations. The service is very attentive.

Of course, there are more intimate ones. In this hotel, there are many women in cool dresses, short-sleeved or sleeveless cheongsam walking back and forth. With delicate makeup on her face, her cheongsam was split a little above her knees, revealing her calf in stockings. As long as the guest greets them in the room, they will go in immediately, and the service is very attentive.
