Chapter 157 Return to the city
At Liyuan Warehouse, Wang Deming pushed open the window of the guest room, and a cool sea breeze with a slightly fishy smell blew in, instantly refreshing people.

Ge Maozhai, who was sharing the same room with him, was still snoring. No one knew what time he had been out for social events last night. He came back without even taking a shower or taking off his clothes and just fell asleep on the bed. He looked like a dead dog.

The purpose of this trip was achieved, and Wang Deming was in a relaxed mood. He changed into a lake-colored double-breasted silk shirt, cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles and inner linings, and casually put the remaining dozens of US dollars in his pocket, and went out for a stroll to feel the Hong Kong Island style at the moment.

Liyuan Warehouse is not far from Kowloon Railway Station. You can walk slowly along Salisbury Road towards the railway station.

The sun is shining brightly today, and the temperature is just right, around 24 or 5 degrees. It is very pleasant to bask in the morning sunshine, feel the breeze from Victoria Harbour, and watch the rippling waves.

There were ships coming and going in the harbor, including small cargo ships emitting thick black smoke, large cargo ships emitting thick white smoke, and wooden sailing ships and fishing boats interspersed among them. People were swaying and seagulls were flying.

After a while, we arrived at The Peninsula Hotels, which is opposite Kowloon Railway Station. Its Chinese name is Peninsula Hotel, and it is known as the Lady of the Far East.

In his previous life, Wang Deming had been to Hong Kong and visited the Peninsula Hotel, but the beautiful scenery was not as beautiful as it is now: the train station and the Peninsula Hotel complement each other.

The European-style train station is built of granite and red bricks, with tall arches and spires supported by Roman stone columns on the sides, a tall clock tower and a slender lightning rod in the middle.

The 7-story H-shaped Peninsula Hotel next to it seems to embrace Victoria Bay. The arched corridors surrounding the first floor and the stone pillars on the top floor are full of Bavarian flavor.

There were many cars parked in front of the Peninsula Hotel. When Wang Deming approached, the doorman in a white hat and white uniform opened the door with a smile on his face, "Welcome, sir."

Wang Deming took the elevator straight up to the Terrace Café and ordered a cup of coffee and some snacks.

It's true, eating dim sum, drinking coffee, looking at the scenery of Victoria Harbour, and watching the bustling crowds on the Star Ferry, I really felt like a leader.
The Jewish devils really know how to do business! It's really expensive, a full US dollar
After spending the whole morning back at Liyuan Warehouse, Ge Maozhai was already awake, drinking seafood porridge alone downstairs. Wang Deming joked, "I say, how big of a business was it that made you drink so much last night?"

Wang Deming waved to the waiter, who brought over a set of bowls and chopsticks and helped Wang Deming serve.

Ge Maozhai made a bitter face and complained: "There's nothing I can do. I can't afford to offend him!"

"The owner of Hang Seng Bank has to rely on others to contact buyers."

Well, just pretend I didn't say anything and scooped a few mouthfuls of porridge. Wang Deming asked, "How many days will it take before we can go back?"

"It'll take another week, right?" Ge Maozhai was very surprised and blinked a few times. "There are so many delicious foods and fun things here, why are you in such a hurry to go back?"

Wang Deming said sadly: "Although Liangyuan is nice, it is not a place I can stay for long. When I see the foreign devils patrolling the streets in red pants, I want to give them a big slap in the face."

"Uh" He couldn't respond, so Ge ​​Maozhai lowered his head and continued to drink his porridge.

After finally getting through a week, Wang Deming finally felt relieved and boarded the train for the return trip. He waved enthusiastically to Ho Ying-tung who came to see him off from the window.

Huo Yingdong watched the train slowly speeding away and breathed a sigh of relief. He was finally free. He would never drink with Wang Deming again. No, he would never drink with northerners again!
Is this alcohol? You can't even drink water like this!
But this guy is really capable!

He came all the way from Beijing to Hong Kong just to give me gold and US dollars, but he went back empty-handed except for a few pairs of stockings. What a character!

For such a person, I must live up to his trust.

Now that I have more funds, I can purchase more medicines and supplies. Besides, after such a long rest, I will make more trips to the north.
Looking forward to the news of continued victory! Just like when we came here, we went from Hong Kong and Kowloon to Guangzhou, then from Guangzhou to Hankou, and from Hankou back to Beijing.

As soon as the train passed Fengtai Station, Wang Deming began to feel anxious unconsciously and looked out the window frequently.

After an unknown amount of time, the gray brick walls began to appear among the green dots on the ground. Soon, the towering front gate tower with red tiles and red walls appeared in sight. It was the Zhengyangmen Arrow Tower. Phew, I'm finally back!

The train slowly stopped at Zhengyangmen East Station. Wang Deming, carrying the only remaining canvas bag, got off the train with a hint of regret, but his mood soon improved.

Listening to the shouts coming from the station square, looking at the bustling Zhengyang Gate, and the jujube trees with a few tender green leaves sticking out on the city wall are all so pleasing and friendly.

There is still a long way to go. He turned around and bowed to Ge Maozhai, saying, "Brother Maozhai, we'll see you later. I'll definitely need to trouble you in Hong Kong in the future."

"You're welcome!" Ge Maozhai responded politely, "You're taking care of my business."

Wang Deming glanced at Lehuashi who was coming down from two carriages from afar, and his lips curled down.

Damn it, you've been hiding from me all this time
Forget it, there is still a long time to come.

He raised his hand and called a tricycle, "Comrade, please come to the small factory."

"All right, comrade, take your seat."

The tricycle started slowly, gradually accelerated, and headed north.

It is really not easy to travel far at this time! In the past, it took two and a half hours by plane, but now it takes nearly two weeks to go back and forth. I went in late February and came back in mid-March, when the grass was green and the birds were singing.

Hey, I didn't notice it when I just left the station, but now the streets are full of slogans: Don't drink raw water to avoid getting sick; don't spit anywhere to avoid getting infected; everyone should do three things regularly: take a bath regularly, wash hands regularly, and get a haircut regularly
There were many old men and women on the street loudly promoting and distributing pamphlets on the "Patriotic Health Campaign".

From time to time, you can see people in white coats giving lectures on bacteria pictures on the street.
Wow, it’s really grand!
This is really incredible. As long as the Chinese people get organized, it will be incredible.
In Xiaojingchang Hutong, only Zhang's mother and her husband were at home. Zhang's mother said: Zhang Shouchun is very motivated at work now and goes to the Chinese medicine factory in Suzhou Hutong early every day.

Since the Chinese medicine factory opened, business has been booming. All Chinese medicine clinics and combined Chinese and Western medicine clinics in Beijing use the factory's Chinese patent medicines.

Moreover, the people who ate the good food spread the word, and the business of Bamiancao's pharmacy, which sold medicine to the outside world, became more and more prosperous. Recently, it recruited many apprentices from Tongrentang, Heniantang and other pharmacies.

All together, the Chinese medicine factory has nearly 100 people.
Speaking of this, Aunt Zhang seemed proud, with a smile on her face.

Wang Deming was also very satisfied. That was right. I had never eaten pork, but I had never seen a pig run. How could I be inferior to people of this era in business?
What do they know about capitalism? At most, they have regressed to a semi-feudal and semi-colonial society. They can only join forces with imperialist countries to exploit and oppress the vast majority of their own people, or sell off their own country's resources at a low price to satisfy their insatiable selfish interests.

I said goodbye to Aunt Zhang, took my change of clothes, and went to the Tsinghua Garden Bathhouse to take a bath.
As the lights came on, Wang Deming, feeling refreshed after a bath, came out of Tsinghua University and strolled back to Xiaojing Factory.

In the main hall of the second courtyard, Zhang Shouchun was standing with his back to him, and he didn't know what he was busy with.
Wang Deming tiptoed over and hugged her tightly with both hands, "I miss you so much!"

"what!"
