Dramatic changes in the movies and TV shows

Chapter 1051: Sesame Alley

After the conflict at the Six Nations Hotel, Lin Hao would meet with the Jin Hai brothers from time to time to deepen their relationship.

Later, Lin Hao found out about the arsenal of the Suppression Headquarters, and then went there at night to look for guns and ammunition.

Entering the armory, there are quite a lot of guns that catch my eye, but unfortunately they are too diverse. However, this just meets Lin Hao's needs.

After all, it is not used by the military, so the unification of firearms and ammunition needs to be considered. The more complex the firearms used by a single person, the wider the choice.

Not bad, not bad. The rifles include Zhongzheng, 98K, Type 1903 rifle, M Springfield rifle, and British Type rifle. It is really a variety.

Sandezi's MP18 submachine gun, Milijian's Thompson submachine gun, and the British Sten submachine gun that even dogs don't use.

Taking into account the performance and reliability of the guns, Lin Hao chose 98K and Type 18 rifles, and MP and Thompson submachine guns.

After taking away more than a dozen guns, they took several pistols and grenades, as well as thousands of bullets of various types, and then left the armory of the Suppression Headquarters.

In this chaotic world, it is safer to have a gun for self-defense. Although Lin Hao himself does not need it, others do not know how powerful he is. Having a gun can always calm down some blind people.

After putting the gun into the space ring he had just made, Lin Hao prepared to leave.

Not long after walking, Lin Hao suddenly saw a medical room and thought of the ten penicillins that Mu Chunhua needed.

Lin Hao turned a corner and went to the infirmary. After a thorough search, he took out six and a half boxes of penicillin, as well as other medical drugs and equipment, and then left satisfied.

When thinking of Mu Chunhua, one cannot help but mention her entanglement with Yan Zhensheng.

In the original drama, the Yan family is a family that makes pickles, and their ancestors left behind a sixth-rank hat.

The soybeans used to make pickles at Yan's Qinfangju are mainly from Majuqiao (Tangshan) area in Fengrun, Hebei.

The soybeans from Fengrun Majuqiao are described in the play as being of excellent quality, with a reputation of "Fengrun beans, oil is like meat, and the fragrance spreads from two miles away when they are steamed."

However, due to the repeated defeats of the party-state, there were defeated soldiers everywhere and constant banditry along the way, which resulted in no one going to Fengrun Majuqiao to buy soybeans.

Therefore, Yan Zhensheng's subordinate Heizi took the initiative to buy beans from Qiupohuang in Central China as raw materials.

The Huazhong Qiupohuang is described as "very astringent and can only be used as food in cattle troughs" and its quality is far inferior to that of Fengrun beans.

In the play, the beans used to make pickles were not from Majuqiao in Fengrun, but from Qiupohuang in Huazhong, which caused Kong Fanxi, who passed by the Yan family, to blame the Yan family.

In order to ensure the quality of pickles, Yan Zhensheng decided to stop using Huazhong Qiupohuang, and ordered all Huazhong Qiupohuang soybeans to be removed from the shelves and fed to pigs. He also decided to go to Fengrun Majuqiao to purchase soybeans himself.

Later, Yan Zhensheng found his biological father, Mr. Yu. Mr. Yu had defeated the Yan family's darts. Because the Yan family had no descendants, he adopted his youngest son Yan Zhensheng as the heir.

In order to get the best Fengrun beans, Yan Zhensheng asked the escort boss Yu to help him go out and help him go to Maju Bridge.

As a result, they encountered a defeated army on the way, and Boss Yu and his two apprentices all lost their lives in order to protect soybeans.

The Yu family's lineage was cut off because of this, so Mr. Yu asked Yan Zhensheng to take over the throne and marry another wife with the identity of a member of the Yu family to leave descendants for the Yu family.

It just so happened that Mr. Yu accidentally learned that a woman named Mu Chunhua had declared that she would marry anyone who could come up with 10 penicillins to save her father's life, even if he had to be a mistress.

So Mr. Yu found Mu Chunhua, and after some twists and turns, he gave Yan Zhensheng a concubine.

Anyway, Lin Hao hasn’t found any other way to integrate into the world, so he thinks of going with them to save Boss Yu’s life, because Boss Yu already has a woman he likes.

If Boss Yu had not died unexpectedly, the Yu family's bloodline would not have been cut off, and there would not have been the subsequent entanglement with Mu Chunhua.

Of course, the most important thing is that Lin Hao's courtyard house still needs money to pay off the debt of 16,000 silver dollars.

When the time comes, I can follow them and bring back a few carts of food. It’s just a matter of convenience anyway.

So Lin Hao searched through the family savings and then found Jin Hai.

"Brother, I heard that the front line suffered a series of defeats, and a batch of military rations were stranded in Tangshan, and someone is selling them!"

"I'm afraid that I will continue to fail, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to buy food even in the capital. I want to stock up a little money!"

Jin Hai nodded upon hearing this, and then said solemnly:

"Brother, you are really thoughtful. If we continue like this, I'm afraid we may not be able to buy food. It is safer to stock up on some food!"

After thinking for a while, Jin Hai continued:

"Well, I'll send a few people and three trucks to follow you. At least it will be a little intimidating along the way. Otherwise, the soldiers on the road will be difficult to deal with!"

"How about you give me one of the three cars?" Jin Hai added.

"No problem!" Lin Hao nodded and said, "Thank you very much, big brother. I would like to contact a few more companies and go together to get some more shares. It will be safer with more people!"

Then Lin Hao went to find the Lou family. Lou Zhenhua’s steel rolling mill had more than a thousand people, and the amount of grain consumed was also not a small amount.

However, Lin Hao had no connection with Lou Zhenhua, so he used some tricks to make friends with him.

When he learned that Lin Hao had a way to get food, and that as long as he sent people and cars, he could get a large amount of food, he naturally agreed happily.

Only with food can workers produce stably. Otherwise, people will be in a panic and cannot buy food even if they have money, so how can they produce?

So Lou Zhenhua sent five cars and more than ten people to Lin Hao, but Lin Hao asked for a share of two cars.

Lou Zhenhua also readily agreed. After all, it was Lin Hao who initiated it, and with the participation of Jin Hai from the Beijing Prison, the security would be much higher!

Besides, he actually had no choice. He didn't have much food left. He could only take as much as he could. Besides, he got the biggest share, which was not bad.

By the time Lin Hao and Lou Zhenhua finished their discussion, it was already noon, so Lou Zhenhua invited Lin Hao to have lunch.

A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties came up to the two of them, bent over and said:
"Master, the food is ready, we can start eating!"

Lou Zhenhua looked at Lin Hao and said with a smile:

"Brother Lin, this is the successor of the Tan Family Restaurant. His name is He Daqing. His cooking skills are no worse than the head chef. He has learned the essence of Tan Family cuisine."

"If I hadn't married Miss Tan later, he wouldn't have come to our house!"

"Oh, it seems that Tan family cuisine is royal court cuisine. I'm going to try the cooking skills of Tan family cuisine today!" Lin Hao said with a smile, looking at He Daqing at the same time.

He Daqing looks to be in his forties. According to the time calculation, Sha Zhu should be 12 years old now, and He Yushui should be about 3 years old. Oh, and the servant in Lou Zhenhua's house is Xu Damao's mother, and Xu Damao should be about 11 years old this year.

It's a pity that I didn't see Lou Xiao'e! Lin Hao felt a little regretful. After all, Lou Xiao'e should be about 9 years old now!
"I don't know when the people in the courtyard will be able to gather together, otherwise it will be difficult to carry out work!" Lin Hao thought to himself.

······
After leaving the Lou family, Lin Hao came to Zhima Hutong and said to the Yan family's doorman:
"I want to discuss a cooperation with your boss. Go and inform him!"

"Okay sir, please wait a moment!" Seeing that Lin Hao was of extraordinary stature, the doorman went to the backyard to report.

After a while, a man who was less than 30 years old walked out of the yard. If Lin Hao guessed correctly, this was Yan Zhensheng's confidant, Heizi.

Seeing Lin Hao's extraordinary demeanor, Heizi bowed slightly and said politely:

"Sir, please come with me."

After entering the courtyard, you will see a huge courtyard full of pickle jars, which looks very imposing.

Heizi brought Lin Hao in front of Yan Zhensheng. Yan Zhensheng first raised his eyebrows slightly, then smiled and bowed in a very friendly manner:
"What is this gentleman's name?"

Lin Hao also clasped his fists and saluted:
"My last name is Lin, and I came to see Boss Yan today for something."

Lin Hao was very imposing. Yan Zhensheng thought that Lin Hao was a big businessman, so he said politely:

"Okay, okay, this way please!"

Then he took Lin Hao to the living room. After Lin Hao sat down, Yan Zhensheng asked directly without much greeting:
"I don't know why Mr. Lin wants to talk to me. I can tell from the looks that Mr. Lin is a big businessman. We at Qinfangju only make some pickles."

"Boss Yan is too modest. Everyone knows that Qinfangju's pickles are the best in the capital!"

"I don't deserve it. No matter what, I'm just a sauce maker. I don't have any special abilities."

Lin Hao nodded and said with a smile:

"It's like this. I heard that Qinfangju would import a batch of soybeans from Fengrun every year before the beginning of the dog days, but you haven't taken any action so far. I wonder what your plan is this year?"

Yan Zhensheng had no idea what Lin Hao was up to, so he said with some confusion: "Mr. Lin is really well-informed!"

"But I may not be able to go this year!" Yan Zhensheng said helplessly:

"I can't help it. With the chaos and turmoil this year, we dare not go outside the Great Wall. To be honest, I am worried about this too!"

"I came to see Boss Yan today for this very reason!" Lin Hao said solemnly:
"The situation has become increasingly unclear recently. The Guo Party has suffered a series of defeats, with the army in disarray!"

"I'm afraid that by then, I won't be able to buy food in the city, so I want to take advantage of this time to quickly bring back some food."

Then Lin Hao said with a serious face:

“It just so happens that I know that Qinfangju’s soybeans haven’t arrived yet this year, and I think Boss Yan will definitely not ruin his own golden signboard, so this trip to Tangshan is definitely necessary.

"So I thought of inviting Boss Yan to join me on this trip. We can work together and take care of each other on the way!"

When Yan Zhensheng heard what Lin Hao said, his brows slightly frowned.

The first point is that he was not sure whether what the man surnamed Lin said was true or false, or how much truth there was in his words.

Moreover, it is very difficult to say whether this Lin has other purposes.

To run away from the border at a time like this is, to put it bluntly, seeking death.

Lin Hao could see that the reason why Yan Zhensheng was hesitant was because he was not an acquaintance and he could not figure out his background.

"Boss Yan, don't worry. I don't have any other purpose!"

"Lou Zhenhua from Lou's Steel Rolling Mill and Jin Hai from the Beijing Prison all know that I am going to buy eight carts of grain this time, two of which are from Jin Hai and three are from Lou Zhenhua."

"As for the last three cars, I can also make some hard-earned money!" Lin Hao had to use the names of Jin Hai and the Lou family, otherwise Yan Zhensheng would not be able to put his mind at ease.

Some people may not know that Jin Hai is the warden of the Beijing Prison, but Lou Zhenhua, the owner of Lou’s Steel Rolling Mill, is a well-known figure in the entire Beijing business community. Even if not everyone knows about this person, at least everyone knows that there is such a person.

"Boss Lin, why didn't you tell me earlier? Wouldn't this matter be settled earlier?" Sure enough, when the names of Jin Hai and Lou Zhenhua were mentioned, Yan Zhensheng really believed it now.

Because this matter is very easy to verify, if you use it to deceive people, it will only work for one day at most, and you won't be able to deceive people even on the second day.

Seeing that Yan Zhensheng agreed, Lin Hao continued to ask:
"I wonder how many trucks Boss Yan has prepared. We will set out the day after tomorrow morning and then act together!"

"Uh!" Yan Zhensheng was a little embarrassed. In the past, he used a horse-drawn carriage to pull soybeans, but now Lin Hao used a truck.

"I can now confirm that my eldest brother is the escort, but before that we used horse-drawn carriages!"

"I'll contact the car now, and I'll send someone to get back to you before tomorrow night!" Yan Zhensheng replied cautiously.

He didn't want to miss this opportunity. Such good things don't always come along, so he thought about finding a truck, which is much safer than using a horse-drawn carriage.

"Okay, then I'll wait for good news from Boss Yan!" Lin Hao said with a bow, and then left Yan's house.

"Goodbye, Mr. Lin." Yan Zhensheng sent Lin Hao to the door.

"Boss Yan, please stay!" Lin Hao got on the rickshaw and left.

"Has the situation come to this? Even Lou Zhenhua has to stock up on food. This is the perfect time for me to make a lot of money.

We need to buy more beans, make more soybean paste, and make more pickles. By then, no other company will have such good pickles. We will have a monopoly, and we can raise the price by half. We may even make as much money as we did in previous years.”

Yan Zhensheng is a pure businessman. He will definitely seize such a good opportunity.

In the original drama, Yan Zhensheng was not an honest man. It was impossible for him not to know that his confidant Heizi had arbitrarily replaced Fengrun beans with beans from Huazhong Qiupohuang.

If it wasn't for Kong Laochi pointing it out, Yan Zhensheng would definitely turn a blind eye and get away with it.

Just like Heizi said, Fengrun’s products are no longer available in the whole city. Buyers are not that picky. More than 20 people inside and outside the pickle garden are waiting for the boss to pay them their wages.

As a result, he was pointed out by Kong Laochi, and had to keep Lao Kong as the manager of pickles and put the blame on Heizi in order to restore his reputation.

Yan Zhensheng, who was short of funds at the time, had to find someone to discuss selling the sixth-rank hat in order to maintain the operation of Qinfangju.
