Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 385 A Serious Man Part Three

Sitting on the soft sofa, Taro Kawamoto looked around, looked at the large oil paintings on the walls, stepped on the wool carpet under his feet, he was still in a dream.

Qian Xiaobao stood barefoot in front of the window looking at the Suzhou Creek, the Broadway Building and the Shanghai Bund in the distance with satisfaction.

"Taro, what is living? This is called living!" Qian Xiaobao said with emotion.

"Just now I saw you paid from behind. It costs two hundred yen a night to live here!" Hemoto Taro said.

If it takes four days to unload the ship, they will have to live here for at least four days, which means it will cost [-] yen!Taro Kawamoto could not earn so much money for two years.

"To make money desperately is to spend money desperately!" Qian Xiaobao said to himself.

What he regrets now is that Taro Hemoto lives with him instead of Kaoru Kobayashi.

If he and Xun Xiaolin were standing in front of the window enjoying the scenery now, then all the risks for money would be worth it.

Of course, it's best to take the big yellow dog with you.

"Money can be earned slowly. The two of us are heroes of the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army! The medicinal materials brought over this time can be sold at a good price!" Qian Xiaobao said.

Kawamoto Taro's heart suddenly thumped wildly.Didn't Qian Xiaobao let him embezzle?

For more than a year, Kawamoto Taro has been very serious about managing the accounts without any mistakes.

"This time we can earn back more than 20 yen for the Intelligence Department! Taro, how much money do you have a month now?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"22 yuan" Kawamoto Taro replied.

"22 yuan? The Bailang Duoxi you take a month is several times as much as 22 yuan! If you don't take such a good medicine, you are already lying in bed, or already..." Qian Xiaobao didn't continue.

In the eyes of the Great Japanese Empire that expanded its territory, a tuberculosis ghost like Kawamoto Taro would die immediately, and it is not worth mentioning at all.

Kawamoto Taro lowered his head in shame.

Yes, if we talk about corruption, he has already been corrupt.Every time Zhang Xinzhai came to Shanghai, he would give him medicine. This is not corruption.

Soldiers on the battlefield don't use Bailang Duoxi, a drug against inflammation, but he has been taking it regularly for a year.Calculating the cost of medicine can scare people to death.

"My Cao Chang earns 75 yuan a month, which is much higher than yours. But now that prices are soaring, what can I do with this money?" Qian Xiaobao said.

What Qian Xiaobao didn't mention was that he had an extra [-] yen a month because he was awarded the sixth-class Gold Medal.

So in fact, Qian Xiaobao's income is more than that of an army major.

"I suggested this idea to the intelligence department to buy medicinal materials and sell them to Shanghai. Only by eating well and living well can we make greater contributions to the Great Japanese Empire!" Qian Xiaobao continued.

Taro Hemoto felt that what Qian Xiaobao said was right, but after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong.

"When I first arrived in Harbin in [-], pork was only [-] cents, but now it is [-] yuan! But the money in our pockets every month has not changed. How can we live these days! So I think this time The prices of various medicinal materials will be increased by half! If Zhang Xinzhai doesn't want it, we can find someone else!" Qian Xiaobao said decisively.

The setting sun inlaid a circle of bright gold on Qian Xiaobao's body standing in front of the window.

Taro Hemoto looked at Qian Xiaobao standing in front of the window and felt that his figure was extremely tall.

He not only increased the income for the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army but also did not treat himself badly. This person is amazing!

"It's too troublesome to settle accounts by increasing the price by [-]%. Just double it! Then let the old guy surnamed Zhang bargain. These gangsters do everything behind their backs, but they all worship Guan Gong and pretend to be loyal! Don't take me If you offend me, if you offend me, I will bring those three people back from Harbin, so that Zhang Xinzhai will reveal the truth about Zhang Xinzhai poisoning the Qing Gang brothers in order to grab the territory!" Qian Xiaobao said.

"You go to take a shower first, and I'll wash after you're done. Then the two of us go downstairs and have a good meal. Come back and have a good sleep. From tomorrow onwards, we can be chic in Shanghai Beach!" Qian Xiaobao finally said.

The next morning, Taro Hemoto finally woke up Qian Xiaobao who was lying in the comfortable bed.

"Almost forgot, I have to deliver food to the people on board!" Qian Xiaobao said as he got up.

He wanted to tell Taro Kawamoto that he also had a set of such a comfortable big bed and futon at home.

Qian Xiaobao and Hemoto Taro went to the shop and bought hundreds of steamed buns and vegetables, hired a car and took them to Huangpu Wharf.

Thousands of dock workers are still busy on the dock.The weapons and ammunition were unloaded on the wharf and then loaded onto smaller displacement ships to be transported by the Yangtze River to Wuhan.

In order to speed up the progress, tens of thousands of dock workers took turns to work around the clock unloading.

The people on the three training boats rushed to the shore in three small boats.

Qian Xiaobao took Hemoto Taro and left after watching the steamed buns and vegetables loaded onto the boat.

"Come on, let's talk to that old fellow Zhang Xinzhai now!" Qian Xiaobao said to Taro Hemoto.

Since the three ships of the Manchukuo Maritime Police Force did not dock, no one tipped off Zhang Xinzhai.

Zhang Xinzhai was surprised by Qian Xiaobao's sudden visit.

"Mr. Zhang, I've brought you some medicinal materials. Now it's your turn to get rich! Are you happy?" Qian Xiaobao asked with a smile.

"When we two brothers came here, we passed by several Chinese medicine shops, and the people who bought medicine from inside said that the price of Chinese medicine had risen, and they scolded their mothers angrily! There is no way out these days." Qian Xiaobao said with emotion.

"You old man eats meat, but Japanese people drink soup! It will be terrible if this news gets out!" Qian Xiaobao said with a straight face.

Qian Xiaobao's face changed into an expression pack of joy, anger, sorrow and joy within a few seconds.

Taro Hemoto sat beside him and looked at Qian Xiaobao with reverence.

"Prices have skyrocketed in the past two years! I have no objection to the price of medicinal materials rising a little bit." Zhang Xinzhai said.

"It's Mr. Zhang who understands righteousness! You don't need to increase too much, just double it!" Qian Xiaobao said, patting the table.

Zhang Xinzhai shook his hands and spilled the tea on his knees.

If Qian Xiaobao wasn't wearing a Japanese soldier's weasel skin now, Zhang Xinzhai would have asked Qian Xiaobao to be thrown into the frying pan.

He suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Brother Qian, isn't this price too much?"

"The old man sent someone to look at the pier. It will take a few days for our ship to unload. During this period of time, it will cost at least [-] yuan to feed people and horses, right? Brother Heben and I were in a hurry last night at the Licha Hotel. I didn't sleep at night!" Qian Xiaobao said with a sad face.

Half an hour later, Qian Xiaobao and Hemoto Taro walked out of Zhang Xinzhai's small western-style building.

Taro Kawamoto still held an envelope in his hand.

The price has been negotiated, and it has increased by [-]%.

Taro Hemoto wanted to hand the envelope to Qian Xiaobao.

"It's better for you to take it. These days, we will buy food for the people on the boat from here, as well as the money for us two to stay in the hotel. The rest is yours!" Qian Xiaobao said.

Qian Xiaobao walked in front like a majestic Japanese fan master, and Kawamoto Taro who followed behind was a loyal retainer.
