Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

"The reason I've been talking so much to you is to tell you that the new country is very different from the old one. Using money to pave the way here may not be effective. The reason I suggest you go is because if the new country wants to deal with you, there's no need to go to such great lengths.

If I want to arrest you, I can still let you chat with me here. Xiao Jin, according to my old man's estimation, someone must have lost something very important and then asked the higher authorities for help.

The higher-ups found out and told you to go over there. As long as you find the item, you'll be fine. But if you can't find it, then what will become of you... you can imagine it yourself!"

Old Liu took off the towel in his hand, patted Jin Laosi, sighed heavily, turned around and walked towards the small compartment, and ignored Jin Laosi again.

Jin Laosi lay on the bathing table in a daze. He believed what Liu Batian said. In terms of knowledge, what else did these thieves know except eating, drinking, whoring and gambling?

Only then did he remember what his master said to him before he died.

"Just do it! Your good days will soon be over after you leave Rongmen. You are a bunch of short-sighted people..."

Jin Laosi was lying in the lounge, and a waiter came over to make him a pot of Gao Sui tea. The tea here was only Gao Sui tea, nothing else. He took out two yuan and handed it to the waiter.

"Go to Old Li's in the back street and ask for a bowl of noodles with rotten meat, half a pound of pig's head, two lamb's trotters, and half a pound of Lao Baigan liquor."

The waiter agreed, took the money and left.

The back street of Qinghuachi, which is located south of the railway station, has always been a place of filth and dirt. Before liberation, it was full of streetwalkers. After liberation, the state cleaned up this place, and many of the streetwalkers became good women. Some of them were unwilling to live in poverty, so they rented a house and turned it into a half-closed door.

These half-open doors also have another business, which is to make various snacks. Of course, the money is a bit expensive because the food and meat are bought at high prices on the black market, so no receipts are required.

Don't underestimate these two dollars. At that time, a newly employed apprentice generally only earned 18 dollars a month. Sha Zhu had worked for seven or eight years and only earned 32 dollars.

If I buy cornmeal with these two dollars, it will be enough for a family of seven or eight to eat for three or four days.

Jin Lao Si certainly doesn't care about the money. He just wants to eat and drink well. Why can't those thieves save money? It's because the money comes too easily and is also easy to spend.

Jin Laosi did not ask for a share for Liu Batian. Although Liu Batian was old, he still had the toughness in his bones and would not accept his charity. However, Jin Laosi also understood that he owed this favor and would have to repay it sooner or later!

After hearing what Liu Batian said, Jin Laosi felt a little relieved. If a big shot really lost something, even if it was stolen by an outsider, it would not escape their eyes and ears, and they would definitely find it back. By then, the big shot would not bother with them anymore, right?

After a while, the noodles and pork head meat arrived. These things cost one dollar and eighty cents, and the remaining twenty cents was the errand fee. This was the rule, otherwise no one would be willing to run errands for him.

Jin Laosi felt very hungry at this time, so he started eating and drinking.

When he was halfway through the meal, his third disciple Wang Fengming and fifth disciple Gu Dayou hurried in and stood at the door of the lounge, looking for their master.

Jin Laosi waved his hand, and the two of them hurried over. Jin Laosi put down the sheep bones and wiped his hands with the greasy towel. He picked up the wine cup and took a sip.

Wang Fengming and Gu Dayou sat on the bed opposite him. Gu Dayou was a foodie and kept looking at the food left by his master. Jin Laosi liked this disciple the most, so he pushed the noodles and pork head meat in front of him.

Gu Dayou was so happy that his face was wide with smile. He did not mind the chef's rudeness. He poured the pig's head into the bowl of noodles and started to eat it.

Wang Fengming glared at him. This fool was incompetent and ate everything without leaving any residue. However, his master liked him the most. Whenever he made something delicious at home, he would always call him over.

Jin Lao Si sucked his teeth and asked,

"Third brother, what's the matter? Do you have any definite news?"

Wang Fengming nodded, then shook his head, which confused Jin Laosi.

"What the hell do you mean? You're nodding and shaking your head."

Wang Fengming still didn't say anything. Jin Laosi knew that this third apprentice was full of tricks. When his own people drank together, they always laughed at him and said that he shouldn't join Rongmen, but should join Qianmen. It would be a pity if he didn't become a liar with so many tricks.

Jin Laosi took out ten yuan from his pocket and threw it to Wang Fengming. Wang Fengming then said with a smile on his face,

"Master, my feet are sore from walking all morning. Now all the Buddhist masters in the capital have heard the news. I wonder what the people who informed them said?

Hou Laoer from Dongzhimen, Li Laowu from Qianmen, Jia Quezi and Liu Xiaodao from Xicheng, Qu Laoliu and Qu Laoqi from Haidian, and Guo Foshou from Wangfujing, they are gathering people.

I heard that Hou Lao Er is not going, so he asked his brother-in-law to take people there. Li Lao Wu and Jia Quezi should be able to go, but Qu Lao Liu and his brother definitely don't dare to go. Guo Foshou is also gathering his men. I asked his apprentice, and his apprentice said that it seems that Miss Guo will lead the people there.

Jin Laosi pondered for a while, and he became more and more convinced of Liu Batian's analysis. Guo Foshou was a cunning guy. He loved his daughter the most. Since he could let his daughter bring people over, there should be no problem.

He stretched himself and asked Wang Fengming,

"what time is it now?"

Wang Fengming replied,

"It's almost half past twelve, what's going on, Master? Shall we go or not?"

Jin Laosi had made up his mind. He nodded heavily.

"I've also inquired about it. It seems that something belonging to a big shot was lost. It must have been done by someone in the circle. They asked us to go there to find it, not to punish us.

So we have to go, so your eldest brother stays, your second brother, you, the fourth, fifth, and seventh brothers follow me."

Wang Fengming grinned, thinking to himself that this old man really loved his senior brother the most. Whenever there was any danger, he would hide his senior brother and then send himself and others to take the lead. He laughed and said,

"Master, I'm not going. I'll keep watch outside the Public Security Bureau. If anything happens, I can notify the senior brothers and apprentices in time."

This is why Jin Lao Si doesn't like his third apprentice very much. He is too cunning and will definitely stay away from him if there is anything that harms him.

Jin Laosi could only nod helplessly.

"It's up to you! Go tell your brothers and sisters to come here and meet me. We have to go through this together, whether we live or die."

Wang Fengming happily agreed and ran away. Jin Laosi patted Gu Dayou's shoulder.

"Let's go and wait for them at the door..."
