From their reactions, it was obvious that they all remembered the war a few years ago.

Wei Miao saw that the two of them were still calm after their panic, and he admired them in his heart and said:

"If it's really the Japanese who are at war, they will only attack the Chinese territory, and then we'll be in danger, so we have to make more money and move to the concession like Aunt Xiu's family before the war starts."

Wei Miao took the opportunity to tell the couple about his future plans, which could be regarded as a warning.

Xu Ayu didn't understand this, so she held Wei Miao's hand and tried to persuade him:

"Ah Miao, don't go. If you really have to, sell your house. With the money you've saved in the past six months, you can buy a yard in the concession."

"Yes, yes, it doesn't matter if it's smaller or more broken." Wei Ada agreed.

"How can we let a twelve-year-old girl like you go out to earn money?"

"Dad, Mom, let alone Mr. Lu's kindness to our family, I am willing to do this myself, otherwise why would he propose this to you?"

Seeing that the two looked unhappy, Wei Miao stood up and said in a very serious tone:

"Dad, Mom, I want to go."

When Lu Pingsheng came in again, although he noticed the tense atmosphere, he saw Wei nod slightly.

While he was relieved, he assured the couple:

"If it's not absolutely necessary, I don't want Ah Miao to be adrift. This time I'm going to Peking, I'll hire four bodyguards to protect Ah Miao's safety. If everything goes well, I'll give him another big yellow croaker when I come back."

The couple did not show any joy on their faces, but Wei Miao said happily:

"Three in total?"

Lu Pingsheng was stunned for a moment, looked at her cunning face with a rosy complexion, and nodded.

"Three big yellow croakers. Ah Miao said he wanted to move to the concession. I happen to have a large yard in the concession. I will give it to your family when the time comes."

When Xu Ayu and Wei Ada heard this, they quickly waved their hands and refused:

"Mr. Lu, since Ah Miao has made the decision, we as parents will naturally listen to her. It's not easy for us to take over the yard or something."

Wei Miao also said: "I just want what I deserve."

Lu Pingsheng didn't waste any more words on this.

From the next day, Wei Miao lived on the second floor of Lu Pingsheng's house.

She began to study penicillin directly. Among the materials Charles gave her was a detailed research report on Penicillium by a professor at St. Mary's Hospital, University of London.

In addition, Lu Pingsheng gave her some hints and inspiration from time to time.

Wei Miao was already able to extract considerable amounts of penicillin for cultivation from moldy oranges, melons shipped from thousands of miles away, moldy tofu and "old mustard pickles".

She drew a big circle on the words freeze-drying technology and corn flour written on the paper given by Lu Pingsheng and put a question mark in it.

According to Lu Pingsheng's description, freeze-drying technology is freeze-drying?

As for the specific freeze-drying method, he spread his hands and said he didn't know either.

Corn flour can be used to prepare the corresponding penicillin culture solution. As for how to prepare it, Lu Pingsheng only has a vague understanding and cannot explain the details clearly.

Wei Miao had a headache.

Lu Pingsheng, who was sitting in the car, also had a headache. He knew that scientific research cost money, but he didn't know it cost money like this.

Every day when he looked at the stairs on the second floor of his house, he felt that it was like a huge money-eating beast that needed to be filled with countless things.

If there is a shortage of supplies, the situation will be stagnant for several days.

Some of the things Wei Miao asked for could not be bought with money, not to mention that he had no money now.

White Rose lazily leaned back in the back seat, flipping through the notes and documents in her hands, and said with a sweet smile:

"I didn't expect you to have this relationship."

Lu Pingsheng looked at her stunning face in the rearview mirror and said:

"Thank you for your help tonight."

White Rose was obviously in a good mood and continued to giggle:

"We are a cooperative relationship, how can it be considered a trouble?"

Lu Pingsheng said: "Ah Miao's share must not be reduced. As for Wu Ziyang's, we will do as we agreed before."

"Aren't you good brothers?"

Lu Pingsheng said expressionlessly: "Brothers should settle accounts clearly."

Bai Meigui lowered her head and said nothing. She really didn't expect that Lu Pingsheng was familiar with the people from China Merchants Group and could buy a wharf just like that.

If those people behind the scenes knew that in order to muddy the waters of sulfa, they deliberately detained the cargo ship at an inconspicuous little dock in the Chinese area, and caused such consequences, would they regret it so much that they vomit blood?

"The Green Gang members will board the ship at night and transport the sulfa drugs to the secret warehouse in Shilipu."

White Rose did not tell anyone about her lover, and for this the Lion asked for 10% of the profits.

Lu Pingsheng spent a million dollars to buy the dock without blinking an eye.

As for this account, it can only be blamed on the culprit.

"What is the little brat doing recently?" The hanging issue was finally resolved, and Bai Meigui was in the mood to talk about other things.

Lu Pingsheng said in a calm tone: "You care about her a lot?"

The corners of White Rose's bright red mouth pulled out a smile:

"Before I came to Shen City, I had a younger sister, born to a favored concubine. I used to hate them, but during the September 18 Incident, the concubine hid us in a jar of pickled cabbage in the utility room and went to seduce the Japanese soldiers..."

She turned her head and looked out the window, not wanting others to see her miserable appearance.

After a long silence in the car, she continued:

"Later, we both followed the refugees southward. Because she was innocent and sweet, she was captured by the Japanese. I was so useless. I watched her being taken away, but I could do nothing..."

Bai Meigui hated herself because she had clearly promised to protect her sister when the concubine decided to use her body to seduce the Japanese soldiers.

But she saw with her own eyes her sister being taken away, and she was knocked unconscious by Zhang Er, and when she woke up she found herself in Shen City.

She will never forget the look of the little girl of eight or nine years old, with tears in her eyes and shaking her head at her when she was being pulled and pushed.

The two deep dimples often appeared in her old dreams, causing her no peace.

Lu Pingsheng parked the car downstairs of Bai Meigui's house and turned to her and said:

"We need to act at 8 pm. We need more people and faster. We have at most an hour."

White Rose put away the nostalgia in her eyes, her eyes turned cold and she said:

"Don't worry, it won't take an hour. I can't say about other places, but the Green Gang in Shanghai can still protect the $500,000 worth of sulfa drugs."

Lu Pingsheng watched the beauty's graceful figure disappear at the door of the apartment. After smoking two cigarettes in the car, he got out of the car and packed up more than ten dishes from the restaurant next door.

Wei Miao sat in the lounge on the second floor, devouring the delicious food on the table.

Lu Pingsheng saw that although she ate eagerly, she did not look awkward while eating.

"Do you fill your brain with food?" He was a little hungry after eating so much with Wei Miao, so he picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully.

Wei Miao took a sip of the egg yolk, shredded pork and tofu soup and sighed:

"You don't know, hunger makes people dull."

Lu Pingsheng said: "Your three meals a day cost me at least ten dollars. In just half a month, you wasted nearly two hundred dollars. Who can afford to support you?"

Wei Miao was helpless. "If you want to be a good worker, you must first sharpen your tools. If I don't eat for a day, it means that my research has not made any progress."

After Wei Miao finished speaking, he looked at his appearance and said with a smile:

"You have no money?"

Lu Pingsheng pretended to be helpless and sighed:

"All the money I made from trading antiques in the past two years has been used up."

"Is the sulfa issue about to be resolved?" The gold-devouring beast Wei Miao changed the subject.

Lu Pingsheng nodded, "I'll wait for the call tonight."

Ten days ago, Lu Pingsheng contacted the telephone company and spent a lot of money to install a telephone, which caused a sensation in the alley.

On the second day, Wu Ziyang also installed a telephone under Li Xiaoya's persuasion.

Wei Miao thought of Li Xiaoya and asked, "How is Li Xiaoya?"
