It's close to March in Shanghai, and I can't feel the breath of spring at all.
Prices have risen a bit fiercely recently.
As the situation becomes increasingly tense, more and more refugees are pouring into Shanghai.
When there are more refugees, the most serious problem is that food supplies begin to become scarce.
As a result, this quickly caused panic among Shanghai residents and they began to rush to buy food, which directly led to a sharp rise in food prices.
After the New Year, considering the heavy economic pressure, the Public Settlement Industry Bureau announced that it would stop providing food assistance to refugees.
This is very unwise.
The panic that had spread quickly spread to the entire Shanghai.
During this period, the Shanghai District of the Military Command Bureau ushered in a new round of development.
They began to select a large number of refugees who were over 16 years old and under 35 years old to strengthen their strength.
An opportunity to fill their stomachs without starving to death suddenly appeared in front of them, and most people knew how to choose.
This is also known as "grain recruitment."
Early in the morning that day, Meng Shaoyuan got up early.
After breakfast, when 7 o'clock came, Xiao Su Bei arrived.
There is a very interesting thing. No matter in Nanjing, Shanghai or Wuhan, wherever there is head shaving, there must be people from Northern Jiangsu, and there must be countless "little Northern Jiangsu".
If we break it down a little further, it would be “Xiao Taixing” or “Xiao Xinghua”.
This is not just a title, but a specific culture.
These head-shaving masters from Beikai, Jiangsu Province, relied on their hard work to establish a foothold in the local area. They will no longer return to their hometowns. Instead, they will take root in this once strange city. Generation after generation, they will eventually fully integrate here.
Meng Shaoyuan never asked what the surname of the little Su Bei who shaved Meng Shaoyuan's head was, and neither did little Su Bei.
There is no need for this.
They almost seemed to have been taught by the same master. The techniques for shaving their heads and the process of shaving their faces were almost exactly the same.
Especially the jumping knife technique when trimming the face, the enjoyment is really beyond words.
such a pity.
In a few decades, this technology will almost be lost.
"Boss Meng."
Another unique skill of Xiao Su Bei is that he is good at chatting with people from different professions to prevent customers from feeling bored during the hair shaving process: “Nong keeps her face clean and fresh every day, and all the little girls in Shanghai will like Zhong Nong. "
"that's true."
Meng Shaoyuan also particularly liked chatting with little Su Bei: "You said which man doesn't like little girls, but I repair it every day and look fresh and refreshing. It's not that I deliberately went to find the little girl. Do you think why I did this?"
"How can a shaven man know what a big boss like Nong thinks?"
"I prepare to die every day."
"Huh?" Little Su Bei was startled. Fortunately, he had a steady hand, otherwise he would have had to give District Chief Meng an opening: "Boss Meng, Nong really knows how to joke."
"Really." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "It's not like you don't know what I do. If one day I fall into the hands of the Japanese, I can die in peace, right?"
Little Su Bei didn't dare to intervene, he only focused on helping to fix his hair.
"Boss Meng, please lie down."
Little Su Bei started to help with the face trimming.
Meng Shaoyuan suddenly thought of a question.
Suppose that little Su Bei was bribed by the Japanese and when he was shaving his face, a sharp razor was pulled against his throat.
The arrogant Boss Meng will be reimbursed.
Defense day and night, defense every day.
But how can we take precautions against everything?
"Ouch, what are you doing?"
Kong Lingyi happened to walk in and was frightened when he saw the scene in front of him.
A man was rolling Meng Shaoyuan's eyelids and waving a sharp knife around there!
Where has her eldest lady seen such a technique?
"Don't make a fuss."
Meng Shaoyuan, who was enjoying it there, said lazily: "This is a jumping knife, I don't know how comfortable it is."
Kong Lingyi shook his head repeatedly.
What this man enjoys is terrifying.
After his face was repaired, Xiao Su Bei took out the ice cream and wiped it evenly on Meng Shaoyuan's face. He asked Meng Shaoyuan to stand up, then took out the hair wax and styled his hair style in a smooth manner.
Then he slapped Meng Shaoyuan on the back with a skillful technique, and finally patted Meng Shaoyuan on the shoulder:
"Boss Meng, are you satisfied?"
"I am definitely satisfied with your craftsmanship, little Su Bei." Meng Shaoyuan took a look in the mirror, took out a piece of ocean from his pocket, and threw it to little Su Bei.
Little Su Bei left with a lot of gratitude.
Meng Shaoyuan then slowly began to tie his tie.
"I mean, Meng Shaoyuan, I don't see how you look like a human being dressed like this." Kong Lingyi said.
"What does it mean to be a bit human? He is simply the flower of the military. No, he is the grass of the military."
"When will you get rid of the habit of bragging?"
Kong Lingyi shouted at him: "Didn't you say you wanted to betray me? I'm here."
Meng Shaoyuan tied his tie carefully and put on his suit:
"Miss, please."
"Meng Shaoyuan, do you dress like this every time you go out?"
"No." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly:
"Only before the decisive battle, I will take care of myself carefully!"
This is before the decisive battle!
…
Shanghai Latent Area Office of the Military Command Bureau!
Everyone has arrived.
"District Chief Meng is here!"
"Shua"!
Everyone in the office stood up neatly.
"Convey the battle order. This battle is codenamed 'Decisive Victory'!"
Meng Shaoyuan looked grim: "Lin Xuan commands this squadron and will add another squad to you. We will launch an attack on Fuzhou Road at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning!"
"Ping Fuchang and five others were added to Lin Xuan's squadron!"
"yes!"
"Shen Li and Ye Rong will lead a full-scale attack at Jing'an Temple and Yuyuan Road at 7:15 tomorrow morning!"
"yes!"
"Xu Zhu!"
"arrive!"
"Have you rested enough?"
"Enough rest!"
"At 7:30 tomorrow morning, launch a full-scale attack on the intelligence headquarters!"
"yes!"
"Wu Jingyi, lead the team to escort Kong Lingyi to the Chinachem Hotel at 7:45 tomorrow morning. Yu Yanchu will lead a small team to provide support!"
"yes!"
"Meng Shaoyuan!" Gao Fanyi called out: "What are you..."
"Shut up!" Meng Shaoyuan, who had always been polite in front of Gao Fanyi, suddenly shouted angrily: "I am arranging tasks, you have no right to speak!"
Gao Fanyi clenched both fists.
Kong Lingyi said nothing, but at this moment she suddenly met a brand new Meng Shaoyuan!
"Tomorrow, the decisive operation will be launched!" Meng Shaoyuan said coldly: "My base camp is empty. In Shanghai, my life is more valuable than Miss Kong's life. I am not afraid. Who dares to say a word of fear! "
There was no sound at all.
Meng Shaoyuan invested all the troops he could.
His side is really empty!
Only one Xiao Zhong?
Wu Jingyi suddenly thought of it.
Meng Shaoyuan still has a force that has not been mobilized!
But at this time, Meng Shaoyuan raised his voice and said:
"In this operation, advance without retreating! If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, kill! If you are afraid of fighting, kill! If you give up your comrades, kill!"
kill!
