Sure enough, the bigwigs are all late, with the arrival of Fan Xudong, a group of bigwigs gradually appeared, some opened steel mills, some opened tobacco factories, some opened flour mills, and some opened cotton yarn factories like Boss Ji, to Liu Lang's surprise, there was actually another one who opened a rubber factory.

In fact, the economy of the Republic of China is not as bad as Liu Lang imagined, since 1925, the development of China's national industry has increased substantially, and it is sustained. And that's just in Beiping, a commercial capital like Shanghai, where there were more than a dozen rubber factories by the thirties.

It was only in 1937 that China's industry fell back to the level of the twenties due to the war with the Japanese army.

Until it was determined that no one would come, everyone sat down, and Liu Lang also sat back at the wine table, and the position arranged for him was the table where a group of factory bosses led by Fan Xudong were sitting.

In addition to Boss Ji, who is the master, is accompanying him at this table, Liu Lang, who holds the title of anti-Japanese hero, is barely qualified, and as for the rank of colonel, it is not enough to compare with these super-rich people.

They have a lot of money, and the generals who don't have a close relationship with the town guards? If you don't get close, I'm afraid you won't be qualified to sit here for a long time.

There is still an important guest here who has not arrived, so naturally he can only wait first. The flowing water seats over there have already begun to be served, and the first wave of thousands of people has already taken their seats. didn't engage in the traditional eight bowls and eight dishes at all, and the dishes that Liu Lang asked for were just a word ---- enough, the portion was sufficient, and the oil and water were sufficient.

It's not just roast chicken, roast goose, big elbows in sauce, fresh meatballs, stewed big fish。。。。。 The rich fragrance permeates the wide field and goes straight to people's noses, and the oil is very appetizing.

In addition to the dishes, there is also wine.

Originally, with Liu Lang's idea, since he wanted to drink, he naturally wanted to serve liquor. Liu Lang didn't know much about the wine of this era, but he always remembered that Beiping had a long history and a long history. Liu Lang blurted out the "Red Star Erguotou", which really made the heads of several major restaurants stunned for a while.

Everyone knows that Erguotou is also known as Erleizi, but where does this "Red Star Erguotou" come from? Liu Lang then remembered that Red Star Erguotou was a winery established after the founding of the Republic, and at this time, the Red Star was still working hard with the bald principals in the base area on the issue of survival!

I heard that Liu Lang was going to be on the second pot, and the people in charge remembered that Boss Ji's uncle was a southerner, and I am afraid that he didn't know the habit of drinking in Beiping.

Erguotou is certainly a good liquor, but it has nothing to do with high-end, it is drunk by the low-level people. In Beiping, if you want to drink high-grade, you have to drink rice wine.

The rich and famous family entertain guests, and it has always been Shaoxing rice wine. Ji Fu treats guests, the dishes are no longer exquisite, and this wine must not be saved, so as not to make people laugh.

As a result, an altar of Shaoxing rice wine was also placed on the table, and as soon as hundreds of jars of Shaoxing old rice wine were opened, the intoxicating aroma of the wine was so strong that people were about to get drunk when they smelled it.

Liu Lang invited not only the people of Chengde who lived in temporary settlements, but also all the people who fled from the north because of the Japanese invasion of the three eastern provinces and Rehe, so that they could come here for a day today.

It can be said that in addition to the nearly 30,000 people in Chengde who are still staying in temporary settlements, there are also 30,000 or 40,000 ragged refugees who have arrived with their families after receiving the news.

The first batch of refugees from the north were the refugees who had fled from the north.

They haven't eaten a full meal for a long time, and they haven't seen such food for a long time, and they can still hold it there, and they are chewing happily.

Everyone just makes one move, eats, buries their heads in eating. Because they were too involved in eating, there was not much noise among the thousands of people, and there was even some weird quietness.

The rich aroma of wine and meat permeated the audience.

It was so exciting that the giant businessmen who had already sat down couldn't help but look at the scene of thousands of people feasting a hundred meters away.

"Everyone, you all came here after breakfast!" Fan Xudong suddenly asked with a smile.

Although the wealthy businessmen at the table didn't know what Fan Xudong wanted to do, they naturally didn't think that Boss Fan would mean something, so they all smiled and nodded yes.

"Since everyone's stomachs are not empty, there is no need to sit here, Brother Ji, I wonder if I can go over there to see what the guests are eating, and let them eat so sweetly?" Fan Xudong smiled and asked Boss Ji, who was sitting on the side.

Since it was Boss Fan who spoke, Ji Lianrong would object, not to mention that it was also a good deed to invite the people of Chengde and the villagers from the Northeast who fled to eat, who heard that he didn't give him a thumbs up to Boss Fan?

Liu Lang immediately stood up and left the table, solemnly inviting each other, with a vigorous and resolute military style.

If you don't hurry up, what if these bosses don't go?

Fan Ziran, who was sitting at the table next to him and was still hesitating about how to organize the language, was dumbfounded, what kind of story? Before I could open my mouth, how did the story go on?

That's right, if Fan Xudong didn't mention going to see the people over there, Fan Dagongzi would have proposed according to Liu Lang's instructions, but before he could do so, he asked his uncle to propose it.

The big bosses got up and left, and the small bosses had to keep up whether they wanted to go or not.

A team of more than 30 people followed Liu Lang to the large-scale flowing water seat area.

This wine and meat! If you smell a little, you think it's fragrant, but if it's too strong, the mixed smell isn't too good.

Especially for these bosses who are accustomed to eating and drinking, eating food is not only about taste, but also about color and fragrance, and the rich taste of wine and meat makes many people's brows wrinkle.

Especially looking at those big fish and meat that make people feel a little greasy, many bosses secretly pray in their hearts that Boss Ji will not be so vulgar, and give them all these big meats, their eyes are full of oil, and they are all full.

"Brother, how does today's meal taste?" Fan Xudong's face remained unchanged, and he asked with a smile An old man with gray hair who was closest to him and was holding a chicken leg to feed his little grandson next to him.

The old man turned his head to see that a large group of well-dressed people were looking at him, and he couldn't help but panic, his hand shook, and the fat chicken leg fell to the ground, and the little boy who had just taken a bite of the chicken leg but was only four or five years old suddenly burst into tears.

"Bitter baby, don't cry, I'll pick it up for you." The old man didn't care about being stared at by a group of big people, and while comforting his crying grandson, he leaned over to pick up the chicken legs, wiped them twice with his dirty sleeves, and was ready to stuff them into the child's mouth again.

"Brother, the chicken leg is dirty, and the doll will have a stomach trouble if you eat it." Fan Xudong shook his head, reached out to take the chicken leg, carefully took out a handkerchief and tore off a large piece of meat on the dust stained with the chicken leg, and then handed the chicken leg to the little boy who had been staring at the chicken leg in his hand with teary eyes.

Just wanted to get rid of this piece of dusty chicken thighs, but Fan Xudong found that the old man's eyes had been looking at him directly, and just wanted to ask, the old man swallowed his saliva hard: "Master, don't throw it, the baby can't eat it, I can eat it." ”

There was silence for a while.

The people present were all old rivers and lakes, they didn't know what the old man meant, he was reluctant to throw away this piece of chicken in vain, even if it was a dirty piece of chicken.

Fan Xudong was stunned, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, but a smile bloomed on his face, and said: "If my brother is hungry and there is still food on the table, this piece of chicken will be mine!" After speaking, he threw the piece of meat into his mouth and chewed it and swallowed it in one gulp, "In this way, my brother won't say that Fan is wasting food!" ”

"This, this 。。。。。。" The old man was at a loss for a while by Fan Xudong's move.

Looking at his embarrassed appearance, he even almost knelt down for Fan Xudong.

"Brother, can you tell us how many members of your family you have, and where did you come from?" Fan Xudong took the initiative to reach out to hold the old man's hand and asked gently.

"We 。。。。。" The old man's somewhat panicked face gradually calmed down, his eyes swept over the little grandson who was holding the chicken leg and gnawing on it, and a trace of tears appeared in his eyes, "When the Japanese called, Kuwa's father and mother were killed, and the daughter-in-law and her belly were gone, and now there are only two of me." ”

Speaking of the loss of his son, daughter-in-law and a grandson who had not yet been born, although the old man's tears were faint, he did not cry.

"From Heilongjiang to Liaoning, then from Liaoning to Rehe, and finally from Rehe to Beiping, we finally can't see the shadow of the Japanese. I haven't eaten chicken for a long time, and I'm a little greedy, and the lives of our villagers are cheap, and I'm not afraid of that little gray, but let the old man 。。。。。。 The old man continued.

"Brother, don't say any more. Today, you will let go of your belly and eat for a day, but pay attention to the little doll not be too greedy to break the belly. A trace of sadness flashed on Fan Xudong's face, and he patted the old man's hand and comforted.

Until the old man sat at the table and continued to eat, Fan Xudong silently glanced at the large-scale flowing water seat, and his eyes were full of ragged people, and the crowd of people waiting to eat a group of black pressure not far away was also all coarse cloth clothes.

With a sigh, Fan Xudong raised his feet and left.

Whoever has more money is the boss, a group of wealthy businessmen naturally think that Boss Fan is the only one, and when they see him leaving, they naturally want to leave this place where the aroma of wine and meat is mixed together, and the air is a little muddy.

Looking at this scene, Liu Lang, who had been accompanying him, flashed his eyes, and seemed to have a door.

Sure enough, Fan Xudong, who left here, found Liu Lang as soon as possible, "I heard that the matter of inviting the people returning to the north to eat flowing water banquets was promoted by Head Liu?" ”

"Yes, the people of Chengde all the way back with our army don't want to become slaves of the country, I don't invite them to eat when I make a marriage, I really don't want to go." Liu Lang replied very honestly.

"Well, Head Liu has a heart." Fan Xudong nodded, his eyes full of approval.

"However, did Head Liu ever think that what these people lack is not a meal, but a peaceful life and contentment." Fan Xudong said again.

Liu Lang's heart suddenly blossomed, as long as you, Boss Fan, asked like this, then this matter was 100% done.
