Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

There are many snack stalls like this, almost everywhere in the streets and alleys of Shanghai. Now that we have enough food in our hands, we can definitely plan some things.

After the food was served, the other tables were filled up one after another. Brother Su saw that there were many acquaintances there, all of whom were experts in moving goods at the dock, so he went over to say hello.

Next, facing so many delicious foods, Brother Su said with a smile:

"Everyone, stop standing there and eat quickly. We have to get to the dock on time. If we're late, we'll be breaking our promise."

When the others saw the table full of delicious food, they couldn't hold back and some even kept swallowing their saliva.

Although these people can buy cheap supplies, a pound of flour is not much for an adult man, not to mention that they have to do heavy physical work.

The other people in the family basically ate porridge or dumpling soup, barely surviving, and even had to save some food for the pillar of the family.

Normally, what we eat is pretty bland, but this time we have white flour buns, wontons and meat, which is better than what we eat during the Chinese New Year.

Their boss didn't say anything just now, and there were other people watching around them, so everyone held back. They couldn't let others laugh at them at this time, not to mention that they were all doing the same thing and were in the same circle, so they had to pay more attention to their image.

I have to say, this white flour steamed bun tastes really good. It would be great if I could eat it every day.

Just when everyone was enjoying their meal, a middle-aged man wearing glasses came over on a bicycle. After he parked the bicycle and sat down, he said loudly:

"Uncle, please get me something to eat. I've been busy for most of the night and my stomach is growling with hunger."

Old Li quickly agreed and went to cook a bowl of wontons. People who stay up late can immediately relieve the fatigue caused by staying up late by just eating a bowl of delicious wontons.

The man's surname is Jia, we can call him Lao Jia. He is an editor of a newspaper. Although it is not a big newspaper, it is also a well-known figure in the eyes of ordinary people in Shanghai.

Lao Jia had fallen asleep last night, but at two o'clock in the morning someone knocked on the door. When he opened the door, he found it was his apprentice Xiao Wu.

At first he was very unhappy. After all, it was already the middle of the night, and even the biggest problem could be dealt with tomorrow morning.

Besides, what urgent matter could there be in Shanghai right now? It's nothing more than the Japanese bullying people everywhere again. However, the enemy's spies are very strict in this regard, and many things cannot be published in the newspapers at all.

Their tabloids basically publish some insignificant gossip or some celebrity gossip. Their daily sales are only a little bit, and they are definitely in a half-dead state.

Moreover, all the editors of the newspaper are good people with an overflowing sense of justice and who care about the country and the people. They all want to write about the heroic deeds of the army in the war to inspire the confused people in Shanghai, but they are rejected by the editor-in-chief every time.

Once, Lao Jia took a huge risk and went to find the editor-in-chief of the newspaper to tell him about the incident. After that, he was ready to be fired.

But after hearing this, the editor-in-chief was not angry. Instead, he comforted him and said that the time was not right yet and asked them to wait with peace of mind.

Now their newspaper is sharpening its sword, and one day the sword will be unsheathed, allowing the world to see the sharpness of their newspaper.

Although Lao Jia couldn't understand what the trivial matters reported by their newspaper every day had to do with sharpening the sword, he decided to stay and see what happened one step at a time because the salary was relatively high.

To put it bluntly, an editor like him who has good abilities but is unwilling to curry favor with others will have no chance of survival in other newspapers.

Xiao Wu said loudly, "Master, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper asked me to come here to inform you that you need to be at the newspaper office within half an hour. Something big is going to happen tonight, and we have to print the newspaper overnight."

After hearing this, Lao Jia also felt that something big had happened, otherwise the usually steady editor-in-chief would not be so impatient to call these editors to work overnight.

However, he still specifically asked, "Xiao Wu, do you know what happened? Tell me so I can be mentally prepared."

"Master, I don't know what happened. You know, we prospective editors basically live at the newspaper office. About an hour ago, the editor-in-chief brought a stranger to the newspaper office. After the two of them talked for more than ten minutes, the editor-in-chief asked everyone at the newspaper office to notify all editors, and not to leave any one behind."

"The editor-in-chief's original words seemed to be that this was a big job. Whether the newspaper could become famous in Shanghai depended on this one order."

After hearing this, Lao Jia seemed to have figured out some things. Combined with the newspaper's usual performance, he concluded that something big must be happening tonight, otherwise there wouldn't be such a big fuss.

So he hurried to the newspaper office with his apprentice on bicycles. As an editor, with his current salary, it was basically impossible for him to buy a car, but there was no pressure to buy a bicycle.

Nowadays, it is popular to ride bicycles to go to get off work in Shanghai, and some people also ride bicycles for shopping. There is even a profession called "administrators" who specialize in looking after bicycles.

They are the kind of burly thugs who obviously have a strong background. They own a piece of land near a shopping mall or restaurant and even fence it off.

If you want to keep your bicycle, you can charge by the hour, and if it is lost, they will compensate you with a new one, and they are fair to everyone.

Although this is just a small business, there are so many bicycles in Shanghai. Two people can look after more than 500 bicycles a day, and the wages they earn can allow both families to live a comfortable life.

Although doing this kind of business requires gang backing, otherwise you wouldn't dare to do it in a downtown area, but it does provide a lot of jobs. In Shanghai and even the whole of China, the most valuable thing is a stable job.

Lao Jia and Xiao Wu rode their bicycles at high speed towards the newspaper office. The journey took about 20 minutes. But halfway there, they heard a click. Lao Jia's bicycle had fallen off because he had pedaled too hard.

Fortunately, his cycling skills were above average. He braked in time and used his feet to support himself on the ground, so he didn't make a fool of himself on the spot.

Anyone who has ridden a bicycle knows that you must not be in a hurry when riding, otherwise the chain will often fall off halfway.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu quickly stopped the car and said in a low voice:

"Master, please quickly ride my bike to the newspaper office. I'll fix it first. If I can't fix it in a short time, I can push the bike back to the office."
