Lost and Spy

Chapter 34 Nanjing Settles Home
Meng Shaoyuan was promoted to squadron commander, an official with real power.

In addition, Meng Shaoyuan is very popular in the two places, and he has both sides, so there are many people who congratulate and treat guests.

After a few days of work, it was empty.

Mu Dekai quickly found him and said that the house Meng Shaoyuan asked him to find had been found.

house?

Meng Shaoyuan was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses, isn't it? Some time ago, he asked Mu Dekai to help him rent a house, so he didn't have to live in a dormitory.

The city entrance is very good, just at the Honggong Temple, very close to Caodu Lane in the second place.

A small two-story building with electric lights and running water.There is a kitchen, and even better, there is a flush toilet in the separate bathroom.

You must know that although this type of flush toilet has been around for nearly 50 years, the great invention of Thomas Clapp, a British plumber, is still very rarely used in Chinese families.

Only those high-ranking officials and big businessmen's families can use it.

Meng Shaoyuan deliberately looked at it, and it was basically the same as the flush toilets of his era, which used a water storage tank and a floating ball.

"Captain Meng, I'm thinking about renting it, it's not a problem." Mu Dekai said with a smile: "You have settled down in Nanjing even if you have settled down, how can each home be your own? So I will I bought it for you on my own initiative. Here, it's a house deed."

buy it?
Are the procedures all done?

Meng Shaoyuan took over the contract: "How much?"

"Equivalent to five hundred oceans."

so cheap?

Meng Shao had a little understanding of Nanjing's housing prices for some time.

It stands to reason that a two-story building with such complete facilities is definitely more than this price.

"This was originally an official of the Ministry of Finance." Mu Dekai explained: "He later offended Song Ziwen, and was not only dismissed from office, but also severely investigated, and now he is still locked up. His family is eager to get him. Come out, everything that can be sold is sold, and this house is left. As soon as I heard about it, I arrived immediately, plus our special status, they dare not set a high price. "

Only then did Meng Shaoyuan understand.

Mudekai bought this building, and threats and intimidation must be inevitable.

But to be honest, the more Meng Shaoyuan looked at this house, the more satisfied he became.

"Lao Mu, I'll give you the money in a while, and I'll give you five hundred more oceans." Now Meng Shaoyuan, who has money in the bank, became stiff when he spoke:
"You help me replace all the bed and other furniture, especially the bedding and all new ones."

"Hey, leave it to me, but you won't need five hundred oceans."

"Buy me a radio, a gramophone, and a few more records." Meng Shaoyuan was thinking about things that had already appeared in this era, and suddenly had an idea:
"Do you know how can we sell refrigerators in Nanjing?"

Well, he can be sure that there are refrigerators in this era.

"A refrigerator? That's a good thing. Yes, yes." Mu Dekai took out a newspaper from his pocket: "I remember seeing an advertisement just now."

"I'll take a look." Meng Shaoyuan took the newspaper.

It's a newspaper called The Avenue.There is not much news, and international news still occupies the majority, but advertisements occupy more than half of the page.

What is "Hongjinlong Premium Domestic Cigarettes", it is also specially marked (produced by Nanjing Nanyang Brothers Tobacco Company) "Old Brand Hai Cigarettes", "Star Toilet Water", "Baohetang Medicine Hall", "Gusu Daxing Tea Candy No." , "Longevity Bushen Pill" and so on.

Conspicuous place, there are refrigerator advertisements.

The Arctic Electric Store located on Tongren Street, Zhongshan Road, mainly promotes its own "old brand electric refrigerator", and emphasizes "beautiful style, fine structure, economical and durable."

interesting.

Meng Shaoyuan pointed to the advertisement: "Lao Mu, just go here and buy a refrigerator for me."

Seeing that summer is coming, Nanjing is a famous stove.

At that time, when I get home from work, I open the refrigerator and open a bottle of "Friends" beer. The taste should not be too beautiful.

At that time, all the beers sold in Nanjing were produced by Shanghai Shunhe Brewery, and there were no competitors.

Meng Shaoyuan's eyes fell to the very end of the advertisement again:

"Shanghai Sanma Road Yangzi Ballroom, American band, sprung floor, air-conditioning equipment, excellent five-star."

"Old Mu, why did the advertisement of this Shanghai ballroom reach the newspaper in Nanjing?" Meng Shaoyuan was puzzled.

"What's so strange about this?" Mu Dekai explained with a smile: "Many high-ranking officials in the Nanjing Nationalist government own real estate in Shanghai, and they take the train to Shanghai for vacations during holidays. Therefore, these Shanghai real estate and entertainment industries The advertisements are actually for these people.”

Only then did Meng Shaoyuan understand: "Hey, can we get the air-conditioning equipment in this dance hall?"

"It's not easy to handle." Mu Dekai frowned rarely: "Nanjing doesn't seem to do this. They have to go from Shanghai to invite them, but people from Shanghai may not be willing to come."

Meng Shaoyuan said "Oh", slightly disappointed.

There is a refrigerator, if you get another air conditioner, wouldn't it be an air conditioner?
Don't you have a good time?
Mu Dekai guessed Meng Shaoyuan's thoughts: "Captain Meng, we will be sad when Nanjing comes to summer, but it's not impossible. Summer is here, I'll help you buy a big piece of ice and put it in the bathtub like this. , and blow on the fan again to keep you cool. This rich family in Nanjing will cool down like this in summer."

Is it the original air conditioner?

Well, this is my home in Nanjing.

Meng Shao had never imagined that he would have a home in Nanjing before reaching this era.

From now on, he is no longer a hurried passerby.

I have truly integrated into this era.

By the way, how did you travel to this era?
That day, Meng Shaoyuan remembered that it was a Sunday. He went out to the suburbs for an outing. He didn't expect lightning and thunder.

Meng Shaoyuan was in a hurry to find a place to shelter from the rain, but unexpectedly stepped on the air and fell into a hole.

And at this moment, a dazzling lightning penetrated the hole.

Meng Shaoyuan disappeared from his own world.

Then the harsh bugle sound woke Meng Shaoyuan, he found himself:
crossed!
Became a student at CSKA.

Then, I came to the Second Office of the Military Statistics Bureau.

They come, the security.

After Meng Shaoyuan had overcome the initial panic, he calmed down and accepted the fact calmly.

If you go back, you will definitely not be able to go back, or you should think about how to survive in this era, and how to face the war that is about to break out in more than a year, causing the whole land of China to be covered in war and devastated.

Something can always be done for this country.

Meng Shao made up his mind: "Where's the Lu Yixuan we caught?"

"It's still closed, what's wrong?"

"Go and see him go."

Meng Shaoyuan walked out of the house as he spoke, and said as he walked, "Don't talk about it, I always think he can come in handy for this guy."
