Chapter 150: Fork in the Road
Those who are loyal are mostly butchers, and those who are unfaithful are mostly scholars!

Wang Deming just called out to them on the street, and the laborers who had come to work yesterday came to work happily.

There is strength in numbers. These old men in the Chinese Medicine Association have extensive connections, and today they got more than a dozen barrels of gasoline and concentrated sulfuric acid.

The laborers shouted, "Yo hey, Yo hey!" and worked together in a very rhythmic manner to pour the oil into the concentrated sulfuric acid. Then they put on the masks with more than a dozen layers that Wang Deming had made in advance and kept stirring.

The process repeated over and over again, and soon dozens of cans of Vaseline antifreeze ointment mixed with Chinese medicine were made before dark.

Wang Deming filled a lunch box with antifreeze cream, then gave the important task of treating the laborers to a meal to Cha Kuiyuan and Zhang Shouchong, and went to the Jiaodaokou Police Station on Dongsi 4th Street to prepare for patrol.

Cha Kuiyuan and Zhang Shouchong had the experience of eating with the working people yesterday, so today went much more smoothly.

Cha Kuiyuan exposed his shortcomings, "Comrades, I will not hide it from you all. I am a feudal remnant. But after working and eating with you all yesterday, I am deeply aware of the feudalism that remains in me. I am ashamed!"

"But after working with my comrades, I have been deeply transformed. I am no longer the person I was yesterday!"

"So, please give me some face today. Since De Ming can't accompany you tonight, I will treat you all to a meal!"

"Good!" The laborers applauded, and someone in the crowd shouted, "Man, we don't have to eat as well as we did yesterday."

"If you don't mind, let's find a big wine jar or a second meat shop? Or buy some cooked food from the pork bar and then go to the big wine jar."

"Haha, yes, it's better for us to go to the big wine jar!"

Cha Kuiyuan followed the public opinion and shouted: "Then let's go to the big wine jar!"

"But Deming is not here today, and we two have drunk too much. Everyone, please help us get home!"

"Haha, no problem!"

It was another large group of people. Zhang Shouchong volunteered to lead people to buy cooked food, while Cha Kuiyuan brought the rest of the laborers to Jinyu Hutong.

There are several large wine jars along the Dong'an Market in Jinyu Hutong. We chose two that were next to each other, sat on a small stool, and buried the wine jar in the ground with a small half of it exposed. It was covered with a pot lid and became the dining table.

"Madam, please don't serve us watered-down wine today!"

"See? This is our comrade. He's treating us today. Choose the best food!"

"Oh, I was wondering, you found a rich man!" The proprietress was about 20 years old, wearing a pink flowered jacket and black cotton pants. Although her figure looked bloated, her willow-shaped eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, and every frown and smile made many gentlemen feel excited.

"Look at how useless you are!"

"Let's go to the Donglaishun inside! It's only a few steps away. If you finally catch a frog, you'll have to pee yourself!"

"Haha!" The spicy boss lady made the laborers laugh. Cha Kuiyuan also felt more relaxed. He waved his hand and said, "Boss lady, we're just waiting for you to pee on the horse!"

“I want a big bowl!”

"Spit!" The proprietress twisted her sturdy waist and went back to the storefront and started to curse: "You bastard, you watched me being harassed outside and didn't come out to help!"

"Hurry up, serve the wine and the food!"

"Dried tofu, salted duck eggs, broad beans, peanuts, fermented tofu, pickled vegetable shreds, all for these bastards! Just bring a can of Erguotou without water."

"They can't be killed by drinking!"

Zhang Shouchong brought the cooked food he bought, including pig head, braised liver, and braised large intestine, and the laborer threw them directly to the boss lady, "Boss lady, don't eat them secretly!"

"I really can't stand it. There are so many gentlemen outside!"

"Ha ha."

"Bah, even if I die, I will never look down on you silver-plated guns!"

"Ha ha."

The big wine jar tonight made Cha Kuiyuan and Zhang Shouchong deeply feel this social class that they had never noticed before, which was cheerful, generous, and not fussy. Then, as expected, the two of them drank too much again and pointed at the row of houses in the north of Jinyu Hutong, "This is my home! This row, the whole row is my home."

"Then hurry up, let's send these two guys home!"

"Don't be like that now. See you later, see you later!"

When Wang Deming arrived at the Jiaodaokou Police Station, he threw the antifreeze cream to Chief Zhang Dayong and said, "Look, the antifreeze cream I mentioned earlier may not be as fine as the one I used at home, but it is definitely first-rate for preventing frostbite!"

"A batch has already been sent to the front!"

Zhang Dayong had already opened the lunch box, but he closed it tightly and threw it back to Wang Deming. "It's so warm in Beijing, why would we need this thing?"

"Send them all to the front line!"

"It's forty to fifty degrees below zero over there! The soldiers need it more than we do."

"It's not that bad!" Wang Deming threw it back to him, "I've done a lot today and will continue to do more."

Zhang Dayong shook the lunch box in his hand and thought for a while, "Okay."

"Come out quickly and apply antifreeze oil, and go out on patrol!"

As usual, Zhang Dayong led the group out of the warm police station. Everyone was amazed, "Hey, this thing really works. My face isn't frozen anymore!"

"That's right, don't you see who made it?"

"This kid Deming is counting on this face to hook up with girls!"

"Ha ha."

"Don't make it a silver spear with a tin tip? Otherwise, I won't be able to hold it."

"Hey, are you talking about yourself?"

"Ha ha."

Leader Wang in the Ministry of Health, who had just taken out his Continental gun and smashed it on the table, was furious and was about to arrange for his secretary to issue a formal red-headed document!

The secretary quickly dissuaded him, "Sir, the teacher comrade had previously issued a document specifically asking us to promote traditional Chinese medicine and combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine."

"maybe"

"Are you going to let me swallow this anger?" Leader Wang paced around the room, furious. "I have crawled out of a sea of ​​blood and a pile of people since the Long March!"

"Earlier they wanted to sign up for rescue work. Bah! Soldiers' lives are precious!"

Leader He's brows twisted into a knot again. After thinking for a while, he waved his hand at Leader Wang in annoyance, picked up a cigarette and lit it, "Old Wang, although we can't directly issue a red-headed document."

“But we can go further!”

"Send telegrams to local health bureaus to further eliminate quack TCM practitioners who are endangering the lives and health of the people in their jurisdictions and revoke their medical qualifications!"

"Be strict and severe!"

Leader He slammed his fist on the table, "Bang!"

"I want to see how they write the letter!"

"Do you really think we are bald?"

"If they are given a little color, they will dare to open a dyeing factory!"

　I was just about to start a big explosion, but the last chapter was cut by more than 500 words. I don't know what the readers can see. I was immediately exhausted. My mind went blank. I didn't continue writing until the evening. I didn't dare to continue the big explosion to avoid the whole book being banned.
