Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

"Acting Captain, this mission was issued very urgently, mainly because the people of Da Mao have left the mainland, and the promised machines to the mainland have also been broken and discontinued. The superiors hope that you can destroy some important factories to make it difficult for these mud-legged people to carry out construction work.

This is a big game, and you are not the only team carrying out the mission. When the heavy industry development on the mainland comes to a standstill, you will all be the heroes of Country D.

I remember you were working in the Sijiucheng Steel Mill, right? The Steel Mill is also a heavy factory, so destroying it can be considered a great achievement.

By then, you will have everything you want, including money, beauties, and medals. Besides, you have been lurking for so many years and have completed many tasks. When you return, you will be at least a major general.

My dear brother, you have a bright future ahead of you. Maybe I will have to salute you when we meet again in the future."

Dai Wuren thought to himself that he and his brothers had already established their own families over the past decade, with many wives and children. If it was really like what Envoy Lan said, and they escaped after completing the mission, what would happen to their wives and children? They couldn't escape together as a group, right? That was ridiculous.

Moreover, the other party did not understand the situation on the mainland at all. He had been lurking in Sijiu City for more than ten years and had never seen a military factory. According to the information he and his brothers had obtained, those confidential units should be in the deep mountains.

It's impossible to even get close to those places, let alone enter them.

Therefore, even if the heavy factory was destroyed, it would only hurt the Republic's skin.

Seeing that the other party was not moved by his words of inducement, Envoy Lan changed his tone of voice.

"Acting Captain, if you don't do what your superiors ask you to do, it means you have betrayed Country D. I don't need to explain the consequences, right?

The higher-ups don't even need to send anyone to enforce the family rules. They just need to reveal your list of names, and none of you and your brothers will survive.

You don’t want to see that day, do you?”

At this moment, Dai Wuren really wanted to pull out his gun and kill this Lan special envoy, but unfortunately, no matter how much he wanted to do so, his years of hiding life had already made him lose the courage to resist his superiors.

In the early days of the peaceful liberation of Beijing, he was responsible for sabotage in Beijing, killing GC members, poisoning, kidnapping, and sabotage.

He can't turn back anymore. Even if he turns himself in now, peanuts will be waiting for him.

"Envoy Lan, you don't have to say those useless words. If you want the brothers to fight for you, you should at least let them see the benefits and weapons, right?

Li Sanbiao from Team 6 used all the heavy weapons and explosives in the secret warehouse to attack the police station because the fat man from the logistics team was captured some time ago. In the end, he failed and lost everything. Now I don’t even have a rifle in my hand, how can you let my action team carry out the mission?

What about our resettlement allowance? Brothers all put their heads on their belts, so don't say you brought nothing but your mouth.

Even if we go to Caishikou and get a last meal, my men can't go there on an empty stomach, right?"

Envoy Lan saw that Dai Wuren's tone had softened, and said with a smile on his face.

"Of course I have brought the funds, I will give them to you later. As for the weapons, it will take some time. The coastal patrols have been too strict recently, so it will take time to transport explosives and weapons here.

Fortunately, we still have nearly two months to prepare the plan, so there is no need to rush.

You are more familiar with the steel mill than I am. If you have any good ideas or solutions, you can also bring them up."

Dai Wuren didn't want to argue with this guy anymore, so he stood up, brushed off the dirt and dust on his body and said.

"Then give me the funds first, and I'll go back and distribute them to the brothers. The rest can be dealt with after the weapons arrive. Without weapons and explosives, everything we say now is meaningless."

Special Envoy Lan also stood up and asked him to wait for a moment. He turned and walked out of the hut and came back with a box more than ten minutes later.

"Here are twenty large yellow croakers, as a resettlement allowance for you and your men. I won't ask how to divide them, you can make the arrangements as you see fit.

You go back and continue to hide. I will notify you when the weapons arrive. During this time, you should also plan how to complete the mission. The superiors have said that only success is allowed, and failure is not allowed. "

After the two separated, Dai Wuren held the heavy box for a long time in silence. Perhaps he was thinking about how to survive the mission, or maybe he was thinking about how to tell his wife and children about this matter.

Some things are really hard to talk about because he is afraid of being reported by his family. There are many cases like this. Many enemy spies were discovered by their partners after marriage and ended up in jail.

......Dividing line......

Since August, the city has changed again. In the past, you could dine in some small restaurants without a ticket, and at most you would have to pay a little more. But from 8:7 on July 30, all restaurants and dining halls in the city began to require tickets.

The scene of people queuing overnight in front of small restaurants just for a bite of breakfast is gone. Those high-income groups who earn a hundred yuan or more a month also stay away from restaurants because they cannot afford it due to limited budget.

In the entire old city, there were only 18 high-end restaurants left where one could dine without grain coupons or meat coupons, including Donglaishun in Andong Market, Cuihualou Restaurant on Wangfujing Street, Quyuan Restaurant on Xidan North Street, and Datong Restaurant in the Overseas Chinese Building. Of course, the prices were so high that only the old people and the rich could afford to go.

With an income like Yi Zhonghai's, he would go out to eat three times in a row after getting his salary, and then go home and eat dirt for the rest of the time.

It was also at this time that some expensive foreign gadgets attracted the attention of the people in Beijing.

In the past, people in Beijing seldom drank beer. When they sat down to drink, they had to drink white wine. Beer was not considered alcohol, but only a beverage.

But since the food shortage began last year (59), people in Beijing have remembered that beer is also made from barley, and drinking more of it can indeed help relieve hunger.

So many people took thermoses to those who sold bulk beer and started buying it. By the 60s, there was not enough food for people to eat, let alone make beer, so people in Beijing started thinking about other edible things.

Although the double-steamed rice looks like a lot, it is not enough to satisfy your hunger. Western food came to the fore at this time, especially places like Lao Mo that the public was most curious about. Although you couldn't get in without a "guest ticket", you could ask the people eating inside or the service staff to help pack up your food. In the end, there was a queue at the door every day.

As for the prices of Lao Mo, they are really not cheap. Chen Xueru often goes to pack a kind of "fried steak". This thing is thinner than a fried cake and costs ten yuan a piece. But it is beef after all. The most important thing is that it has meat and oil, which can make people in Beijing relive the feeling of eating meat.
