"Zhu Daxiong, aren't you being too foreign? How much are this bottle of soda and two sausages worth?" Xirou shouted in an unusually strange voice.
Since people want to be polite, Zhu Houzhao will get used to it and won't accept it if he doesn't accept it.
Then he said to the young man: "Come, let's find an empty table nearby to talk."
Zhu Houzhao took the young man to an unoccupied table nearby. Zhu Houzhao asked the clerk to bring a few dishes, then motioned the young man to sit down and let him eat and talk.
The young man seemed to know that Zhu Houzhao still didn't know his name. As soon as he sat down and ate, he said: "Brother Zhu, my name is Xiaosheng. I have participated in the factory protection team. You should have seen me in Mr. Bu."
Zhu Houzhao nodded, indicating that he agreed with Xiaosheng's judgment.
But he also couldn't figure it out. Seeing that this young man was already in his twenties and was doing well at Bu Zixuan, he really couldn't figure out why he came to the capital and was so childish that he was hungry and cold and forced to steal food from people in restaurants. In terms of actions, this is really a talent.
"Tell me, what's going on? Didn't you work for Mr. Bu?" Zhu Houzhao asked.
Zhu Houzhao noticed that Xiaosheng had unkempt hair and ragged clothes. It seemed that he was not doing well in the capital.
Xiaosheng said angrily: "I want to do it with Mr. Bu! But is there anything else I can do?"
Zhu Houzhao was shocked as soon as Xiaosheng said this.
He quickly asked: "Tell me quickly, what is going on?"
Xiaosheng's eyes turned red and he said: "Brother Zhu, maybe you don't know yet. Since you left Canglan, Mr. Bu's factory has been forcibly occupied by a Fuso man named Oshima Xiong Er. When the Fuso Ronin comes, When taking over the factory, Mr. Bu refused to accept the decision and argued with the Fusang people. He was almost killed.
The factory guards were so angry that they started fighting with Fuso Ronin. However, since everyone in Fuso Ronin knew magic hand and carried samurai swords, we were outnumbered and the workers were naturally unable to defeat them. They were either dead or injured. In this battle, we Many brothers were gone, and those who were alive or seriously injured were captured by Fuso Ronin. I defeated several Fuso Ronin and escaped in the chaos. If I didn't escape, I might have been jailed or imprisoned. Tortured to death. "
I heard that Sister Bu's factory was forcibly occupied by Oshima Xiong Er, and Sister Bu was almost killed. This was beyond Zhu Houzhao's expectation. He did not expect that after he left Canglan, there would be such a big business in Canglan. misfortune.
However, what he is most worried about right now is Bu Zixuan's safety. "So how is your President Bu now?" Zhu Houzhao asked anxiously.
"I don't know either, but later I heard that she also escaped with injuries and is still alive." Xiaosheng said.
"Then there was such a big commotion and the police didn't come? Didn't they take care of it? The police usually have great powers in front of the people."
"What? Police?" Xiaosheng sneered.
"The police came, but when they heard that no Fusang people were dead, they walked away. Once a Fusang person died, it would cause an international dispute, and they should not be ignored at all! As for the number of dead Chinese people, in their eyes, they were like It’s like a few dead ants.”
"This is all bullshit." Zhu Houzhao was so angry that his head was smoking and he punched the table.
After a while, Zhu Houzhao asked strangely: "Then how come you wandered to the capital? And it actually got to the point of stealing things in restaurants?"
Xiaosheng lowered his head for a long time and then said: "Because I am from the capital. Originally, I wanted to come back to see my parents, and then go back to Canglan to find an opportunity to avenge Mr. Bu and his brothers! But when I returned to the capital, because before After years of war, I can no longer find my parents..."
After a long while, Xiaosheng continued: "I was very depressed because I couldn't find my parents, and I was hungry and cold because I had no money. When I happened to walk here, I saw a restaurant, so I walked inside for a while, and happened to see the hall again. There was food on the table, and when I saw no one around, I grabbed it, but I didn’t expect to be seen.”
Zhu Houzhao could only express condolences for Xiaosheng's misfortune, but as a former colleague of the factory guard team, Zhu Houzhao felt that something should be done for him.
Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao took out a thousand foreign notes and handed it to Xiaosheng and said: "Go back first, and when you meet Mr. Bu, tell her to take good care of herself. I will keep it in mind about Da Dao embezzling her factory, and wait until I have time." Sooner or later, I will go to Canglan to help her get justice."
Xiaosheng stood up in surprise. If Brother Zhu said to help, then there must be no problem.
Although he didn't want the thousand yuan, he didn't have a penny on him, so he had to keep it.
"Xiao Zhu, have you finished talking? We are full and have to leave." At this time, Qi Hongyu, who had just finished eating, stood up from the dining table and shouted to Zhu Houzhao.
"Coming, coming." Zhu Houzhao responded loudly, shaking hands with the young man and saying goodbye.
The out-of-town participants' tour of Beijing's cultural and historical sites left the farmhouse on the edge of the Great Wall in Xirou, and under the guidance of the tour guide, boarded the tour bus and started the next stop of their trip.
This time their destination is the Summer Palace.
The Summer Palace is located in the northwest suburbs of Beijing and is mainly composed of Wanshou Mountain and Kunming Lake. As early as the Yuan and Ming dynasties, this place has become a famous tourist attraction as "the most spectacular in China" with its beautiful and natural pastoral scenery. Today's Wanshou Mountain was named Wengshan in the Yuan Dynasty. Legend has it that an old man dug a stone urn full of treasures on the mountain and got its name. In front of the mountain is a lake named Wengshan Bo. In 1292 AD (from the Yuan Dynasty to the 29th year of the Yuan Dynasty), the scientist Guo Shoujing excavated the Tonghui River, diverted the spring water from Changping and Xishan into the lake, injected it into the palace wall, and supported water transportation. Wengshan Bo began to become a water storage for the capital. reservoir. From this time to the Ming Dynasty, many influential temples were built around the lake. Among them, the "Dachengtianhusheng Temple" on the northwest coast of the lake was the largest, with magnificent buildings and a white marble fishing platform extending into the lake. Emperors of the Yuan Dynasty often visited here. Enjoy rafting and fishing. During the Ming Dynasty, Wengshan Lake was renamed West Lake, "surrounding the lake for ten miles, it became a resort in the county." Every year when the peaches are red and the willows are green, people in the capital go to the West Lake for an outing to enjoy the spring scenery, which is called "enjoying the scenery of the West Lake". At that time, it was still known as the "Ten Temples of the West Lake" and the "Ten Scenic Spots of the West Lake".
The Summer Palace was once the palace and garden of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty. It was formerly known as Qingyi Garden. It was the last garden built among the three mountains and five gardens. It was first built in 1750 and completed in 1764. It covers an area of 290 hectares, and the water surface accounts for about three-quarters. Before Qianlong succeeded to the throne, four large royal gardens had been built in the western suburbs of Beijing. These four gardens from Haidian to Xiangshan were self-contained and lacked organic connections with each other. The "Wengshan Park" in the middle became an empty area. . In the fifteenth year of Qianlong's reign (1750), Emperor Qianlong renovated this place into Qingyi Garden, connecting the four gardens on both sides with it as the center, forming a 20-kilometer royal garden area from the current Qinghua Garden to Xiangshan. . In the tenth year of Xianfeng (1860), Qingyi Garden was burned down by the British and French forces. In the 14th year of Guangxu (1888), Empress Dowager Cixi spent 30 million taels of silver to rebuild it in the name of raising naval funds, and renamed it the Summer Palace as a summer recreation spot. In the 26th year of Guangxu (1900), the Summer Palace was destroyed by the "Eight-Nation Allied Forces" and many buildings were burned down. It was restored in the 29th year of Guangxu (1903).
