Chapter 943: Chapter 0943: Old Friends Help 1

A bowl of wontons had only ten little wontons, but the soup was very delicious.

A serving of pan-fried buns came with four, and two servings made eight, which was not enough to fill Lu Jiang.

Feng Qingxue smiled and quickly bought him two more servings of sticky rice cakes.

When paying with money and Grain Tickets, the female server sized up Lu Jiang and said to Feng Qingxue, "Unity is strength. Comrade, the revolutionary partner you’ve chosen is really not cost-effective."

Her accent wasn’t mixed with a Shanghai tone anymore.

"Humility helps one to progress, while arrogance leads to backwardness. Comrade, why isn’t he cost-effective?" Feng Qingxue didn’t understand for a moment.

As the server handed her the warm sticky rice cakes, she said, "Study hard and make progress every day. Your revolutionary partner is tall and strong, which is too wasteful in terms of fabric. The material needed for one suit of his clothes could almost cover one and a half of my husband. Seeing his appetite, eating two servings of pan-fried buns didn’t fill him up, and you ordered two more servings of sticky rice cakes for him. A person like him is least popular here!"

Feng Qingxue laughed, "Nothing is difficult to a willing heart. It doesn’t matter, the uniforms are issued by the military on time."

"Right, how could I forget that you all are soldiers?" The server realized, "Unity is strength. The military not only provides clothing but also food, economical, very economical indeed."

Lu Jiang had nothing to say about the server’s meticulous calculations.

He let Feng Qingxue eat the sticky rice cakes first, and then he would finish whatever was left.

Feng Qingxue actually liked the sticky rice cakes quite a bit and ate about half a serving.

While looking around out of boredom, she noticed that a customer at the next table had ordered a piece of fried dough stick and a serving of chicken congee, which she had always thought was the Guangzhou style chicken congee. It turned out to be just plain congee with a bit of chicken soy sauce on top.

After eating their fill, the two of them took their bags and headed to the scrap station.

They had learned the name of the worker there yesterday, Mu Yangdong, originally Murong Yangdong.

The reason he changed his name from Murong to Mu was that the compound surname Murong was associated with old thought and old culture, so it was simplified to Mu.

When Feng Qingxue learned the reason, she was at a loss for words.

By that logic, should Ouyang Zijin also change his name? To either Ouyang Zijin or just Zijin?

Mu Yangdong was originally a ruffian and bully, and took advantage of the movement to replace the previous worker. His attitude was not too serious; he liked to drink and smoke. Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue catered to his preferences, and he opened the gates of convenience for them. Anyway, he had checked all the items they took out, and there was nothing that sabotaged the revolution; it was just waste recycling, and there was no crime to speak of.

After hiding the two bottles of liquor like treasures, Mu Yangdong lounged at the door with his leg cocked up until Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue came out to weigh their finds around noon, which were just some paper, brushes, ink sticks, and inkstands.

The reams of rice paper, bundles of brushes, who knows from which old reputable store they had been pilfered.

Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue profited greatly that day. After lunch, they made another trip, and after two days of scouring the entire scrap station, they felt there weren’t many fish that had escaped the net. They then took the tram and headed to other scrap stations.

Afterwards, they gave Mu Yangdong another pack of cigarettes, Zhonghua costing one yuan. Mu Yangdong then became completely open and candid with them.

The pair also asked Mu Yangdong about He Qingyin’s address for sending letters to Wen Ruyu. As expected, it had already been ravaged by students. The scholars and writers in that area had all suffered; their houses were nationalized and now allocated to some government agency workers.

Wearing military uniforms, they received excellent treatment on the tram.

Even the locals who normally looked down on outsiders now showed friendly expressions, without a hint of disdain.
