Chapter 11 Suits and Cloth Shoes
Hu Fei went to the chief officer of the war zone to express his gratitude to the chief for this matter. Wei Lihuang comforted him a few words and encouraged him to develop more practical new weapons to alleviate the repeated passive situation of our army on the battlefield.
Hu Fei agreed verbally, but in fact he was not at all concerned about it. No matter how advanced the research of Chinese tiger chariots is, it is useless. In an era when there is no oil field in this country and all fuel must be imported, the more oil-burning machines are used, the more passive the country will be.
Hu Fei is still optimistic about charcoal cars. Before oil fields were discovered in China, charcoal cars were obviously the most practical motor vehicles. This guy is most suitable for the current national conditions of China and the troops that Hu Fei equips him.
Hu Fei has a lot of money. He has the money to buy a car, but where to buy a large amount of charcoal cars is a problem. Fortunately, Hu Fei also has a female god of wealth next to him. Feng Yi and Hu Fei found Feng Yi and asked her to help buy a charcoal car. Feng Yi was naturally willing to help Hu Fei's request. But a day later, the news that Feng Yi received surprised Hu Fei.
It turned out that in the 1940s, there was no factory in my country that could produce cars. Now all cars running on the road from trucks to cars are imported, and those so-called charcoal cars are imported and converted into charcoal cars. If fuel money is not counted, a charcoal car is much more expensive than a fuel car.
Is the price high? You have to buy it even if it is high! We are not afraid of it, we must have it! Hu Fei gave Feng Yi a huge sum of money and asked her to find channels to buy charcoal cars. After giving the work, Hu Fei left the matter without paying attention. The car was handed over to Feng Yi, and the army training and recruitment were responsible for Liu Dong. As for Hu Fei himself, he only cared for Zhang Yayi, who had injured his ankle.
Hu Fei was impatient. At the beginning, he accompanied Zhang Yayi for a walk every day and said love words, which was quite romantic and warm. After three days, he couldn't stay there. The work of caring for patients was not something that no one could do.
Although Zhang Yayi is not that kind of hot-tempered temperament, she is not a weak lady in the boudoir. After Hu Fei instilled her with some fallacies that moderate exercise is conducive to healing her injuries, Zhang Yayi immediately agreed to go out with Hu Fei to "exercise".
Although Hu Fei had been staying for a long time and wanted to relax, he also knew that Zhang Yayi's current physical condition was not suitable for doing a lot of exercise. Therefore, he found a big cart and pulled them into Luoyang City.
They didn't walk quickly when they entered the city. The two of them walked slowly. They were just walking wherever they walked. They stopped and rested when they were tired. Whether it was a restaurant or a bookstore, including a garment shop, department stores, car shops, grain shops, pet shops, no matter where they were, when they were tired, they came into the shop and found a stool to sit down and rest.
The shopkeepers usually don’t chase them. Should they buy things? Come and sit in the store for a while, it will increase popularity, right?
After walking for less than half an hour, Zhang Yayi was tired again. Hu Fei saw that the beauties around him became less energetic. He checked on both sides of the road and found that there was a shoe store less than 20 meters away from them. So go to the shoe store to rest. The two of them went into the store to find a chair to sit down and rest, and then check whether the shoes in this store look good or not, and whether they fit their feet.
The shopkeeper of the shoe store naturally hopes that the more business the better, but he also knows that it is not realistic to expect everyone who enters the store to buy a pair of shoes before leaving. There are too many people coming in and there are more people who are looking at it. Therefore, he did not feel much disgusted with the young man and woman sitting there without saying a word after entering the store. Instead, he poured two glasses of water and handed it to Hu Fei and Zhang Yayi.
Hu Fei felt a little embarrassed when the shopkeeper was so enthusiastic. He stood up and looked around, but he thought the shoes sold in this store looked pretty good. So he pulled Zhang Yayi and the other two to choose a pair. He tried it on his feet, which was quite comfortable.
While the two were trying out new shoes, someone came in outside the shoe store. The man was wearing a suit and tie, wearing a pair of frameless glasses, and at first glance he was the kind of social elites.
"Shopkeeper, do you have black leather shoes here?" The man said a standard official speech, and his eyes were also looking at the people in the shoe store. Seeing Hu Fei and Zhang Yayi trying on shoes, the man nodded and smiled, saying hello.
"What shoes do you want? Wear this kind of shoes on your feet? Sorry, the shop does not have this kind of shoes like you. We only sell cloth shoes here. The pair of shoes on your feet are imported from cowhide. If you want to buy them, you can get a foreign company."
"Foreign companies? No, I never buy things in foreign companies. Let's see if my shoes can be repaired." This man thought he would use the shoe points as a shoe repair shop.
The shopkeeper of the shoe store didn't think there was anything wrong with this person's words. He leaned over and looked at the leather shoes carefully, and then tried the texture with his hands. In the end, he could only shake his head, "No. If we repair them, your shoes will definitely be deformed, and a pair of shoes will be ruined. Why not just wear them like this for a few days? Otherwise, you can try it out with a pair of cloth shoes?"
The man hesitated for a moment, then he agreed happily. He looked at it and picked a pair of black tight-lipped cloth shoes. The man tried to walk a few steps on his feet and jumped again. His face suddenly showed his true joy, "Good shoes! These shoes are more comfortable than leather shoes!"
After paying the money, this person nodded at Hu Fei before leaving. Hu Fei was a little puzzled. I don’t seem to have seen this person before. Why does he always nod at me?
After drinking the water, the shoes were bought. The two of them were in a very happy mood when they put on their newly bought shoes. There was a large group of people in front of them, and there were noisy sounds in it. Hu Fei was originally a lively person, but now he is fine, so he would pull Zhang Yayi into the crowd to see what happened.
In the crowd, two people stood in the middle, one left and one right. The man on the left was wearing a suit, trousers, tied, and a pair of brand new black cloth shoes. The man on the right was wearing a long blue cloth gown and holding a big wolf dog with a black back and yellow hair in his hand. The man was pointing at the suit and talking loudly.
The onlookers looked happily, and a few of them were hooligans and gangsters who were whistling from time to time. When Hu Fei saw that the person wearing suits and cloth shoes was the one he met in the shoe store just now. This was a coincidence.
Tang Zhongming felt that he was in trouble today. He originally went to the Chief Office of the First War Zone to find Commander Wei Lihuang and discussed the establishment of a charcoal automobile manufacturer in Luoyang. However, Commander-in-Chief Wei was not in the Chief Office. When asked where he was going, the guards of the Chief Office said that this was a military secret and did not tell him!
I won’t talk about the construction of the factory until I’m done. I didn’t know what happened when I was walking just now. Maybe my mind was full of charcoal cars, but I actually hit the person in front of me as I walked.
Tang Zhongming has seen the world and knows that the person who is holding the wolf dog must be a local gangster. Such a person is like a dog skin plaster, and it will be troublesome to get it! (To be continued)
