Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 564
Liu Guangpin had been eagerly looking forward to Qian Xiaobao's arrival since August, but he didn't come until October.

The medicinal materials he bought in advance filled the warehouse of the county government. Now the common people can't make any money selling grain to the Japanese.

Taro Hemoto is Japanese, but Liu Guangpin knew that Qian Xiaobao was the one who made the real decision, and Taro Hemoto was his follower.

He came up and grabbed Qian Xiaobao's arm, like a kiln sister who hadn't received a customer for a month suddenly saw a repeat customer enter the door.

"Hurry up and kill the chicken!" Liu Guangpin shouted to the woman standing in the yard.

"Go to the street and cut two catties of meat, remember to be thin! I will pay the bill tomorrow." Liu Guangpin said to the child standing next to him.

The woman is Liu Guangju's sister-in-law, and the child is Liu Guangju's nephew.

The child heard that there was something delicious to eat at night and ran out of the yard.

When buying meat, most people choose fatty meat to buy. There is no oil and water in the stomach for many years, so it is the most delicious to eat fatty meat.

Several years of dating let Liu Guangpin know that Qian Xiaobao doesn't like to eat fatty meat, and he is very envious of this in his heart.

Liu Guangpin longed day and night to live a life where Qian Xiaobao was tired of eating lean meat every day.

Qian Xiaobao couldn't help being dragged into the room by Liu Guangpin.

"This year's medicinal materials are very good! I told them last year, don't send the bad ones to me! I won't accept them!" Liu Guangju said.

"Okay, well done!" Qian Xiaobao said insincerely.

Liu Guangju could also hear that Qian Xiaobao's praise was a little perfunctory, so he took out a box from the wooden cabinet half as tall as a person on the kang.

One look at the wooden box shows that it is not short in age, and the body of the box has turned black.

Liu Guangju opened the lid of the box to reveal the dark red cloth inside.

Liu Guangju first glanced at Qian Xiaobao as if showing merit, and then slowly lifted the red cloth.

Inside the red cloth was wrapped a ginseng with whiskers over a foot long!

"Sir, take a good look, this ginseng has all five shapes! Look at the beard, look at the pearls on it!" Liu Guangju said excitedly.

Qian Xiaobao put his head into the box to look carefully at the ginseng.

Liu Guangpin put his head next to Qian Xiaobao's head and continued: "Sir, look at this reed head, the reed is long and dense! The round shoulders and round reeds are definitely pure goods! If this ginseng is not 200 years old, just chop off my head Come down!"

All the saliva from Liu Guangju's mouth sprayed onto Qian Xiaobao's face.

Qian Xiaobao hastily reached out and closed the lid of the box.Liu Guangju can spray his saliva on his face, but not on ginseng!
"Not bad!" Qian Xiaobao said, patting Liu Guangju on the shoulder.

"How much did you spend to collect this ginseng?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"It was sold to me by an old man who moved from Dunhua to Muling Town. His wife is dead and has no money to buy birthday materials. He is still reluctant to sell it when he hears my bid of 50! I don't care. You can use a broken mat if you can Roll up the old lady, dig a hole and bury it! In the end, the old man had no choice but to sell it to me for [-] yuan." Liu Guangju said triumphantly.

"It's not good for you to do this! It's all you low-level people who acted recklessly. As a result, the common people scolded the Japanese and the Kwantung Army every day at home! In fact, the Japanese and the Kwantung Army both hope that the people of Manchukuo can live a good life." It's you guys who messed things up!" Qian Xiaobao suddenly changed his face and shouted at Liu Guangpin.

Seeing Qian Xiaobao get angry and Liu Guangju was frightened stupid, his brain is buzzing now, and he doesn't know how this happened.

Qian Xiaobao stabilized his emotions and said in a relaxed tone: "Of course, I also know that it has been very hard and not easy for you to help the Kwantung Army purchase medicinal materials in the past few years! You did this out of good intentions. Save a few bucks for the army. But you didn’t understand the purpose of the Kwantung Army’s intelligence department in purchasing medicinal materials!”

"The intelligence department of the Kwantung Army did not buy medicinal materials for themselves! It is for the common people of Manchuria to earn more money! You can send another 200 yuan to the old man's house right now. If you have no money, you can withdraw it from me first. Remember. When you get there, you have to bow and apologize loudly to the old man and say that the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army sent you here!" Qian Xiaobao said.

After Qian Xiaobao finished speaking, he looked at Taro Hemoto, and Taro Hemoto immediately took out 200 yuan and handed it to Liu Guangfu.

Trembling, Liu Guangju took the money, turned around and ran outside, accidentally stumbled on the threshold and fell to the floor of the outhouse, eating shit like a dog.

He hurriedly got up again and ran outside.

Looking at Liu Guangju's back, Qian Xiaobao sat on the edge of the kang with satisfaction.He hugged the wooden box like a fat son who had been passed down for ten generations.

"This ginseng can be sold for at least 1000 yuan in Shanghai?" Kawamoto Taro asked.

"Don't record this ginseng in the ledger. I have to hand over such a valuable thing to the intelligence department. Maybe the head of the intelligence department can bring it back to Japan and present it to the emperor." Qian Xiaobao said.

Taro Hemoto felt ashamed when he heard Qian Xiaobao's words.As a Japanese, he doesn't think as much as Qian Xiaobao, a Manchurian, and Qian Xiaobao has done more than himself in safeguarding the image of the interests of the Great Japanese Empire.

Ten minutes later, Liu Guangju came back.

He asked Qian Xiaobao tremblingly: "I bought all the medicinal materials that I have already bought at a reduced price. Do you want to lower the price in the future?"

"No! It's [-]% higher when I buy it, but I'll get [-]% or [-]% higher when I sell it in Shanghai!" Qian Xiaobao replied decisively.

The increase in the price of medicinal materials made the acquisition of medicinal materials very smooth, not to mention that it was carried out in the name of purchasing strategic materials for the Kwantung Army.

Qian Xiaobao and Hemoto Taro also left Muling Town when the medicinal materials were loaded on the train to Harbin.

Qian Xiaobao didn't go home directly holding the broken wooden box containing ginseng.He went around the second-hand shops in Baza City, and when he came back, he had a sandalwood box and a piece of bright red flannel under his other arm.

At night, Xiaolin Xun and Zhaodi watched Qian Xiaobao spread the newly bought red velvet cloth in the sandalwood box, then carefully opened the broken wooden box, and took out the ginseng inside with trembling hands and put it into the sandalwood box inside.

"Father, what is this, can I eat it?" Brother Zhao asked.

"This is medicinal material, you can eat it! But Dad can't eat it, if Dad eats it, he will go to heaven like a monkey jumping in the sky!" Qian Xiaobao replied.

The next day, I put on the second lieutenant's military uniform, polished my leather shoes again and again, left the house and rushed directly to the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army.

He put the sandalwood box under his arm and went to the second floor of the intelligence department to see the head of the agency, Yanagida Yuanzo.

Qian Xiaobao's request was immediately approved by Liutian Yuansan.

When Qian Xiaobao walked into Liutian Yuansan's office and stood at attention to salute, Liutian Yuansan asked in surprise, "What happened to your eyes?"

"Reporting sir, I accidentally squinted my eyes while riding a motorcycle on the way to buy medicinal materials!" Qian Xiaobao replied standing at attention.
