Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

"Zhiyuan, I didn't expect you to go to Shanghai. Not only did you gain a lot, but your appetite also increased. As far as we are talking, you have eaten three bowls of noodles, and you have eaten all the beef. Could it be that your belly is following Wu Erlang's example, and you can't get enough out of three bowls?"

Looking at the pile of noodle bowls beside Cheng Nuo, Lu Xun was also taken aback by the scene: "It's not that you are not allowed to eat, but that you can't bear it if you eat so much at one time. It will be really hard to accumulate food at that time." suffer."

Cheng Nuo waved his hand, sucked up the last noodle in the bowl, and shouted to the owner, "Master, please bring me another bowl."

I have seen edible food, but those are basically working people who do manual labor. It is rare for a scholar like Cheng Nuo to have such a large appetite. In addition, the person sitting opposite is an old acquaintance, so The shop owner has been paying attention to the situation here.

He personally came over with a bowl of noodles and put two heads of garlic on the table. The owner said worriedly: "May I ask this gentleman, did you escape from Tianjin Wei? Our bowl is not small, but Counting this bowl is the fourth one, it’s not good for your health to eat so much after being hungry for a long time.”

After pouring vinegar into the noodle bowl, Cheng Nuo looked at the owner with interest: "Old man, do you hear my accent, does it sound like a cross talk?"

The shop owner took a step back, looked Cheng Nuo carefully up and down, and was a little suspicious of his own judgment: "Yes, your accent doesn't smell like Tianjin dialect at all, and the way you dress doesn't look like you're fleeing famine..."

The shopkeeper, who realized that he had said something wrong, hurriedly bowed: "I'm sorry, you, it's my dog's eyes that look down on people, sir, please don't take it to heart."

Cheng Nuo didn't care: "If you say a thousand, say ten thousand, it's better to have your noodles, so that I can add a few more bowls, otherwise, I'll be full after just one bowl."

In fact, the deeper reason was that Cheng Nuo's physical fitness was very different from before. Although he ate a lot, his metabolism was faster, and his stomach was already digested in a short time.

Lu Xun was so angry that he really wanted to take out a pen and paper, and warn the world: "It's really stupid! These people don't know, if they want to eat, they have to go to the other side to find those rich and powerful, embarrassing a small noodle shop business Man, what's the matter?"

Looking at the dignitaries and dignitaries who went in and out of high-end restaurants on the other side of the moat, Lu Xun couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Nowadays, gentlemen with big hugs and special hugs, foreign-style buildings and cars are like wives, and they are happy. Although they committed crimes, they were not wronged. Now it seems that, The thinking of the new craftsmen is actually slightly better than that of the old craftsmen."

Lu Xun couldn't help but swallowed. He originally wanted to call the shop owner like Cheng Nuo, but his tight belly brought him back to reality. He raised his beard and smiled and said, "Let's see, who will invite you next time?" If you go to eat, the best restaurant is Zha Jiang Noodle Restaurant.”

Lu Xun smiled and explained: "When this deputy governor was alive, he was very stingy. Except for the New Year's Day, he would not eat meat noodles easily, and he would always be poor when he met people. The most ridiculous thing is that there is a cook at home, and he is afraid of the cook. To make money, to buy vegetables across the basket, everyone calls it "all across the basket."

Cheng Nuo couldn't help but asked curiously: "His father was the deputy governor back then, didn't he have any old acquaintances to take care of his descendants?"

With his hands behind his back, Lu Xun paced and looked into the distance: "Although ten are few, they are enough for this gentleman to get two needles."

The most famous smoker in modern history is the eldest son of Zhang in Northeast China. In order to quit opium, this man took morphine to make the transition, which made his body full of needles. Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that morphine is more addictive than opium. Be stronger.

Seeing that Cheng Nuo was almost digested, Lu Xun held onto the railing and said, "This father has three brothers, half-brother, and he is the second child. Father Yi is still alive, and he is the deputy governor of a certain banner. He is good at selling vacancies. Official vacancies There are prices, so there is no need to talk about them in detail.

Looking back around me, there are some numb and poor people, especially after seeing that the noodle shop owner is willing to give alms, some people start to surround him. give up.

Later, when Guangtou Jiang saw that this industry was indeed making money, he simply cooperated with Du Yuesheng and directly built a morphine factory in Shanghai.Later, in order to appease the public opinion, he pretended to arrange for someone to investigate the factory, but he didn't know that his eyebrows were thrown at the blind man.

The old man was also very hungry. Although the steamed corn bread was already a little cold, it tasted a bit hard, but people who are very hungry can't care about these things, and they start to gobble up things.

As the most important alkaloid in opium, it accounts for about 10% of the composition of opium, and the composition ratio varies slightly with different types.

Seeing the old man, Lu Xun's expression immediately became hesitant, and after a little scrutiny, his face became even more complicated. Without saying anything, he took out ten coins from his purse and handed them to the old man, then he cupped his hands and left on his own.

Cheng Nuo also smiled and said, "It's okay, if we can't eat noodles, we can still eat rice, as long as you give me a side dish, as long as there is enough rice, or the same sentence, as long as you can eat enough during special times, we don't have special requirements for eating well. "

Looking at the owner's back, and at Lu Xun who was impressed by his appetite, Cheng Nuo smiled and said, "It's a blessing to be able to eat. Although we don't pay much attention to eating well, we still have some thoughts about eating enough. Yu Cai Brother, if you are hungry, you can have another bowl."

Cheng Nuo chewed the noodles and asked curiously, "Do you think I like noodles, and it's cheaper to add noodles?"

Obviously, there is some friendship between the two, but as far as the current situation is concerned, it may not be deep.

Just when the Wowotou was finished eating and the shopkeeper who was watching was about to let the old man leave, Cheng Nuo and the other two, who had finished eating noodles and paid the bill, happened to pass by them.

After the man got the order, he actually sealed up the factory, which led to his dismissal, and the factory resumed production.

"Acupuncture, what is this? Could it be that you are not feeling well, and you went to the hospital to ask a doctor for acupuncture to cure the disease?" Hearing the word "acupuncture", although Cheng Nuo was a little skeptical, he did not dare to confirm it.

Seeing Lu Xun passing by, the old man immediately ran to Lu Xun happily, muttering but couldn't hear what he said.

The drug trade is an important means for the big powers to seize wealth from our country. As early as when Japan invaded and occupied Shandong, it used Shandong as its base and imported morphine as one of its trade characteristics, and it spread to the whole of China.Wherever the Japanese had the upper hand, the morphine industry flourished especially.

The shop owner is very displeased with this kind of person who affects his business, but in this kind of time, maybe he will have such a day, shaking his head and sighing, he puts the two leftover buns in his hand and serves them. He picked up a bowl of noodle soup, pulled the old man outside the door, and handed it to him politely.

"Where are you asking for trouble? Doesn't standing at my door affect my ability to attract customers? This makes people outside come in, and people inside don't look appetizing."

While the two were eating and chatting, and making plans for the future of the school, an old man suddenly appeared at the door of the restaurant. He was dressed in knotted clothes and looked disheveled. He limped and moved his body to the door frame to support him, stretching his neck. Probe inside, swallowing from time to time, obviously very hungry.

"Elder, eat slowly. There is no charge for this. If it's not enough, I'll have some more. As long as it doesn't affect my business."

As early as 1806 in the late Qing Dynasty, when Jiaqing was still alive, this stuff was extracted and sold to various countries, causing serious social problems there.

Because he was in a hurry to eat, he was choked and rolled his eyes halfway, but in the end it was the bowl of noodle soup that saved him.

As usual, no matter how delicious the noodles are, Cheng Nuo would have to belch and start to loosen his belt, no matter how delicious the noodles are.

Sure enough, after Cheng Nuo caught up with him and asked why, he did have some relationship with the old man, but it was just an old neighbor. They hadn't seen each other since they moved, five or six years in a flash.

Lu Xun shook his head and smiled: "No, that's because although the fried noodles in some places are a bit more expensive, you can refill them, but you can't take you there often, or you will have to eat them to death. The rules in front of me have to be changed because of you."

Seeing each other again now, I didn't expect the old man to beg for a living, and I have to lament the ruthlessness of time.

"If it's what you said, it would be a good thing instead. Let alone ten coins, I can give them all twenty or thirty coins." Walking on the bank of the moat, Lu Xun said with a little melancholy: "The truth is not that we It is so simple to think, I am afraid that all the money just now will be used for morphine."

Of course, this is something for later. It can be said that from the end of the Qing Dynasty to before liberation, drugs have been rampant in the country, and the people have suffered unspeakably.

He had to sell 30 taels of silver for every cent of his vest, and he also made a lot of money for his money.It's a pity that it was late in the Qing Dynasty, and his father also passed away.The three young masters fought for more than half a year in a lawsuit because they competed for the family property.Later, someone mediated, divided by three, and the dispute over property was resolved.

Hearing this, Cheng Nuo also sighed: "Greedy and mean life, future generations will end up like this, no wonder the ancients once said, 'One penny will not go away, only evil will go with you'."

It's a pity that this man has a hobby of acupuncture, and his workmanship is slippery. He has long since retired, and now he only makes a living by looking for money.His original residence was bought by a certain military officer. It is unexpected and reasonable to be in such a situation after this year. "

The owner of the store obviously had a plan long ago, and handed over the leftovers to the leader among them, claiming that after he distributed them, he successfully changed the target of the siege, and the conflict also shifted, and finally closed the door, isolating everything outside the door go out.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Nuo patted Lu Xun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "When the weak are in despair, fate does not allow them to be rational. Their only hope is to survive.

Brother Yucai, relying on the power of pen and paper alone may not be enough. If I really want to change the scenes on the two sides of the strait, and stop the needling thing, it will take several generations of hard work.

It is not the few so-called "elites" that promote the change of this era, but the silent majority of working people behind us. Grassroots education is an important way to change.

You have to think twice before starting a small business! "
