Chapter 112 The end of the story

In order to perform well in front of her master, Aunt Li put a lot of effort into cooking today. After finishing her cooking, her arm, which she used to swing the spatula from time to time, was a little sore.

This time, Aunt Li used almost all the ingredients stored in the kitchen, thus making a very sumptuous "Manchu-Han banquet".

……

Bao Guowei has not returned home for 20 days, and his family has changed a lot.

The original round dining table has been replaced by a square table, which seems to be convenient for entertaining guests.

The big square wooden table is already piled full of dishes, including sweet and sour pork ribs, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, fried fungus, cold persimmons, and a large bowl of chicken soup...

In addition, there is a pot of steaming tea on the table.

This meal would be considered a sumptuous meal in later generations, but it was unthinkable for the poor people who were still eating bran and drinking water.

But poor people have their own ways of living, and rich people have their own ways of living.

This table of food would cost three or four yuan. It is indeed no exaggeration to say that one meal in the Bao family is equivalent to a month's salary for an ordinary person.

Lao Bao sat at the dining table, looked at Bao Guowei who was dining next to him and asked:

"Guowei, how was your trip? How was your stay? Why did you stay there for more than 20 days?"

It was impossible for Bao Guowei to tell Lao Bao that he was robbed by horse bandits. Telling him about it would have no meaning other than making him worried and frightened:
"This trip was just a trip to Tianjin by train, and I did some errands on the way. As for what I did, wasn't it already mentioned in the newspaper? I did an alkali production method!"

Lao Bao himself is uneducated. Even though he has recently begun to learn literacy and can read some simple articles, it is still difficult for him to understand this matter.

"What kind of big deal is this? Why did it suddenly appear in the newspapers? I think it's not only in our Suzhou newspaper, but also in other 'big newspapers'..."

Moreover, people often come to our house these days, including your husband!Even Master Qin... Qin Fan, look at that box of Western milk, it was him who sent it! "

Lao Bao looked at the box of Western milk in the northwest corner. He now no longer calls Master Qin "Master", but his first name.

"Guowei, I also heard them talking about a new alkali production method. I didn't understand it after talking for a long time. What is this?"

Bao Guowei knew clearly that Lao Bao just wanted to talk to him more, rather than understand the significance of this new alkali production method.

Bao Guowei introduced it casually, but Lao Bao didn't understand it and just nodded with a smile.

The two chatted for a while, and then a guest came to visit, bringing some gifts in their hands.

……

At night, Bao Guowei went to the bathroom to take a shower. He lay in the tub filled with hot water, feeling the warm water, and gradually relaxed.

When I got up, the "travel dust" accumulated along the way had fallen into the bathtub.

He got up from the tub, walked to the dressing table, dried his wet hair with a towel, and then unscrewed a small black and white bottle on the dressing table.

I sniffed the smell in the bottle - it was still the familiar hard-brand Sitankang.

It's a pity that it's night now and I'm about to go to bed, so I can't apply it on my head anymore.

By the time Bao Guowei opened the bathroom door, he had already changed into Paramount.

He took a walk in the courtyard, feeling the cold wind blowing in his face, and then played with the two little black dogs, feeling refreshed.

No more unwise guests came to visit in the late evening, and Bao Guowei had a good sleep at home.

Lao Bao also slept peacefully that night.

The new alkali production method is still fermenting. Bao Guowei has nothing to do these days, living at home and seeing guests from time to time.

Tianjin has gathered many domestic and foreign scholars, trying to understand the standard process and characteristics of the new alkali production method.

Soon, a new issue of "New Youth" was released, publishing this incident and criticizing the Xueheng School:
Why not use Chinese studies and poetry creation to attract foreign scholars to visit?
However, the Xueheng faction was unable to deal with it head-on for a while, so they could only write poems to insult the Xueheng faction in a roundabout way.

……

Bao Guowei is already rich and famous, and his life has gradually settled down, but he really has no motivation.

The historical trend of the future is difficult to change, because a mysterious force cannot be changed either.

In the blink of an eye, it was school time, and a red cloth was hung at the school gate to highlight Bao Guowei's achievements.

But people know that now this new school can no longer accommodate his giant Buddha.

Even Guo Chun feels a little inferior when facing the current Bao Guowei. There is no doubt that there is a thick barrier between the two.

He looked at Bao Guowei sitting next to him and didn't know what to say.

Including other students in the school, they were very reserved when facing Bao Guowei and did not dare to speak loudly for fear of frightening the class.

Bao Guowei only felt more and more bored.

He had nothing to do, called friends, put on Si Dankang, put on Paramount, and finally came to Songhe Tower.

"Himalayas Team, Songhe Tower."

When he saw Songhe Tower, Bao Guowei suddenly remembered a person who had been completely forgotten by everyone.

Songhe Tower is located in the center of the city. This is Chen Jinhua's favorite restaurant. Most of the people who can dine here are rich or noble.

Although this is a restaurant, from the outside, it looks more like a classical-style pagoda.

The light black tiles like fish scales are lined up in rows, and the eaves at the four corners are flying up, just like a flying crane trying to ride the wind and take off in the next second. It looks majestic.

This building is divided into three floors from top to bottom. Although there is no clear document, everyone knows that it is difficult to get up to the third floor.

In Suzhou, Bao Guowei's face is still very useful. According to his status and family wealth, there is no problem in going to the third floor.The interior is luxuriously decorated, with crystal glass lamps hanging from the ceiling, giving off a soft yellowish light. The dining table is a glass turntable table with a red carpet underneath.

There was a table full of sumptuous dishes, and everyone was speechless. It wasn't until Bao Guowei moved his chopsticks that anyone started to eat.

……

In the blink of an eye, 16 years have passed, and Bao Guowei has also grown to [-] years old.

Nowadays, people are gradually paying attention to drought, and newspaper reports about severe drought in the north are becoming more and more frequent.

Although there is a severe drought in the north, the grain harvest in the south has not been greatly affected. However, under the deliberate control of major grain merchants, the price of grain is becoming more and more expensive even in the south.

Logically speaking, at this time of year, grain merchants in the south should take grain northward and make a fortune.

However, due to some reasons, the transportation lines between the north and the south have been blocked, and the control of food has reached an extremely strict level. It is extremely difficult to transport food from the south to the north.

Bao Guowei did come through time, but this kind of natural disaster could not be changed at all by him alone.

Famines in history once killed tens of millions of people, but today tens of millions are still dying of starvation.

Sometimes Bao Guowei wonders why he can't bring a system with him when he travels back and forth: after completing a task, you can add attributes, and after three years, your body will become a saint, able to withstand bullets and cannons, and when the time comes, you can punch Nanshan Nursing Home and kick Beihai Kindergarten. , encountered rough things on the road...

However, this only existed in fantasy. Since time traveling, he had secretly called the system countless times, but the system never came out.

Later, the Northern Expedition ended, and the Republic of China completed formal unification and entered a period of relative peace.

After that, relying on the prediction of the economic crisis in Eagle Country, Bao Guowei united many people and initially made a huge sum of money from stocks, worth hundreds of thousands of oceans. When it was over, he entered the market again and earned the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of dollars at that time. Millions of dollars with purchasing power.

Bao Guowei made tens of thousands of dollars in profit from these two stock market manipulations and was hailed as a "super trader."

The future time, in history, is called the golden time of ten years.

But on September [-], [-], the three eastern provinces began to fall.

Previously, Bao Guowei had made outstanding contributions to the invention of Hou's alkali production method and allicin. He was recruited to study at Southwest University, and he moved to Southwest China with Lao Bao.

While studying at Southwest University, Bao Guowei relied on pig brain overload to achieve outstanding results and maintain his reputation.

On the eve of [-], he published a paper predicting in advance that Japan would plot against the three eastern provinces.

This paper has attracted a lot of attention. To be honest, Bao Guowei has no idea about the outcome of this matter. After all, the butterfly effect is too big.

However, war is the cumulative result of various factors. When the internal conflicts in the East reach an extremely acute point, launching a war abroad becomes inevitable.

After weighing the situation, they finally chose to launch an attack on the three eastern provinces.

Under the same "non-resistance" policy as in history, the three northeastern provinces fell easily, and the people's voices boiled with sorrow.

But after the successful prediction of this paper, Bao Guowei's reputation soared.
After that, he used his accumulated relationships, contacts, and reputation to publish another article on the analysis of future wars, which attracted widespread attention.

In the end, with the cooperation of many parties, we successfully invested in and established multiple arsenals in the central and western regions.

Later, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, the weapons produced by the arsenal played a great role.

Lao Bao and Bao Guowei temporarily lived in the southwest to avoid the war. During this period, they spent their family wealth in vain and made a lot of contributions, which will be remembered by future generations.

After the war calmed down, the family returned to their homeland. Because of their outstanding achievements, the people lined the streets to welcome them.

Note: Bao Zheng was 82 years old, and Bao Guowei was 79 years old. They both passed away.

……

"Let us open the history book and turn to 120 pages. This is a test point."

On the podium, a teacher spoke to the students in the audience.

The students opened the colorful textbook and opened to the page the teacher was talking about. This article was about national heroes.

"Let's talk about Bao Guowei first. This person's life is actually quite legendary. I'll tell you his story. Let's just listen to a fun little story to relax you."

Hearing the teacher's words, the junior high school students in the audience immediately raised their lips - what's so good about going to class?It's better to listen to a short story.

"Bao Guowei, he was born into a poor family. His father initially worked as a servant."

“But he has shown his talent since he was a child, or in middle school.

When he went to school for the first time, he entered a Western-style school at that time. As soon as he took the exam, he got very good results, but how good was he? "

Hearing this, the curiosity of the students was aroused, and they were looking forward to what the teacher would say next.

"With a full score of 580, he scored 2 and [-] points, ranking second in the school by [-] points."

Not to mention, later, he went to Tianjin and successfully developed Bao's method of making alkali in just three days. That year, he was only 15 years old. "

"Not only was Bao's method of making alkali, he also invented allicin, but people only found out about it later."

"Presumably in Chinese class, everyone must have studied Bao Guowei's articles. His records include "I See Black Fish Look Like Humans", "Chen Jinhua", "The Coachman", and "The Man Who Frozen to Death", All included..."

"In his account of Suzhou's experiences, he described in detail the social environment and people's living conditions at that time."

"In addition, he also understands stocks and is a very forward-looking war analyst. He has accurately predicted the outbreak point and time of the war many times."

The students in the audience listened with interest. There are actually such powerful people in this world!

"Bao Guowei, during the Anti-Japanese War, almost exhausted his family wealth to support the Anti-Japanese War. Due to his achievements, historians have no doubt about his evaluation - a talented national hero."
