Chapter 284 The Che Boss of the Vegetarian Restaurant

When Tan Tai Leng Yue saw that her brother-in-law was going out for a drink with Peng Tiancheng, she wanted to go with them.

One reason was that he felt uncomfortable staying in a hotel alone, and the other was that he was afraid that his brother-in-law might be in danger if he went out with this Military Control Commissioner.

She was not very confident about these spies of the Military Intelligence Bureau, even though they were also on her side in the Japanese war zone.

Gu Wenxuan was worried when he saw Tan Tai Leng Yue was alone in the hotel, after all, she was a girl, so he agreed to let her go out for a drink with him, but he told her not to drink too much.

Gu Wenxuan followed the shopkeeper Peng Tiancheng and walked down a street until they came to a food street.

Peng Tiancheng's men opened a small shop with three rooms, and of course they could also put a few tables on the street.

The name of this restaurant is "Penglai Ju".

The restaurant has a nice name, but it is actually a vegetarian restaurant with basically no meat dishes.

Peng Tiancheng walked into his brother's restaurant. There were really not many people in the restaurant at night. Who would come out to eat vegetarian food at night?

Peng Tiancheng's subordinate is called Che Gang. He is really a man from Northeast China, big and strong.

He was originally a small team leader of the Military Control Commission's Fengtian Station. However, because their Fengtian Military Control Commission's Fengtian Station was betrayed by a traitor last year, all the spies in the Fengtian Military Control Commission were captured and killed by the Japanese surrendered soldiers.

He escaped by chance and opened a restaurant here.

Until Shancheng sent Yang Juntian back to take charge of the Fengtian Military Control Station.

After Yang Juntian arrived in Fengtian, he reconnected with Che Gang.

But he let Che Gang continue to run his restaurant, and he also opened another big carriage shop.

However, later on, a traitor betrayed the Fengtian Station. Although Yang Juntian and Che Gang were not involved, they were seriously injured and gradually became dormant without taking any action.

Although Yang Juntian was not involved, all the radio stations of their liaison group were confiscated by the gendarmerie, so they lost contact with Shancheng, and of course their funds were also gone!

Fortunately, Che Gang and Peng Tiancheng both have a business to make a living, otherwise they would really have to run back to the mountain city.

But if they really ran back to the mountain city without permission, they would probably have a hard time, so they insisted on staying in Fengtian.

Che Gang saw Peng Tiancheng walking into his vegetarian restaurant with a stranger, a man and a woman.

He came up to greet him and said, "Boss Peng, are you interested in coming over to have a drink with me tonight?"

Peng Tiancheng said with a smile: "Boss Che, this is my friend Mr. Gu from the mainland!"

Che Gang quickly stepped forward and bowed: "Ah, it turns out to be Mr. Gu, welcome!"

Peng Tiancheng said, "Mr. Gu came from Shanghai. He heard that you cook good vegetarian dishes, so he came here tonight. He wanted to drink some good wine with me and eat some food. Have you prepared the ingredients for your Northeastern Three Fresh Dishes?"

As soon as Che heard the call, he immediately knew that they were his own people, so he quickly led them to the private room inside.

As Che Gang walked, he said, "Speaking of vegetarian dishes, this is really my specialty. Our ancestors were royal chefs who specialized in making vegetarian dishes for the emperor!"

After walking into the private room and sitting down, Peng Tiancheng stopped Che Gang from chattering:

"Don't brag about your vegetarian dishes. I've been craving for them for the past few months! Prepare some delicious meat dishes. Mr. Gu will pay for the meal tonight. Don't be stingy with your goodies."

Then Peng Tiancheng said to Gu Wenxuan:

"Mr. Gu, even though Che Gang runs a vegetarian restaurant, his cooking skills are equally superb!

As for opening this vegetarian restaurant, we don’t want too many people to make noise and disturb our business. Another reason is that we have too little capital, and it is very costly to make meat dishes!”

Four people laughed.

Che Gang said, "Shopkeeper Peng, we have prepared some meat dishes!"

"Mr. Gu is not an outsider, so you can rest assured. If you notify the brothers nearby, ask them to come and gather together.

They probably haven't had meat for a long time. Besides, Mr. Gu lent me some money today, so I can give them some funds for their activities!"

Che Gang asked cautiously, "Manager Peng, how much money did Mr. Gu lend you? Is it enough to fund the activities?"

Peng Tiancheng: "Mr. Gu sent us 2000 dollars!"

Peng Tiancheng was also a cunning guy. He did not tell anyone about the other 3000 yuan, and he also wanted to keep a small treasury for emergencies.

Even 2000 yuan shocked Che Gang: "What? You lent us 2000 yuan? Mr. Gu, you are really a rich man!"

Che Gang knew how hard it was to make money these days. Even if he ran a vegetarian restaurant, he would only have a few dollars left every day.

With these few dollars, he had to pay rent and support his entire family, so there was basically no surplus.

But Mr. Gu immediately lent out 2000 oceans. He also knew that lending these 2000 oceans to the Military Control Commission would probably be like throwing meat buns at a dog and would never come back.

Mr. Gu should have understood this principle, but he still lent out 2000 yuan without hesitation. It seems that Mr. Gu and Shopkeeper Peng must be old acquaintances and they have a very close friendship.

And he definitely doesn't have any good feelings towards Japanese people.

Che Gang was suddenly filled with awe for Gu Wenxuan. He quickly asked his youngest son to call a small spy from the Military Control Commission who was doing a famous business nearby.

Because these little spies often met at Che Gang's vegetarian restaurant, his children also knew them, so he asked his youngest son Che Xiaoxiao to notify them to have dinner at the restaurant.

After a while, his son Che Xiaoxiao brought about 10 men of various looks into their vegetarian restaurant. Among them were shoe repairmen, rickshaw pullers, and some small business owners. There were all kinds of people.

At this time, Che Gang had already put a lot of meat dishes on the table, and the fragrant aroma filled the entire private room.

Peng Tiancheng clapped his hands: "Let's get started, let's eat and talk at the same time!"

These little spies were brought from Peiping by Yang Juntian.

Since they haven't received their salary for three or four months, these people are short of money. So they haven't had a good meal for many days, and their mouths are dry as a bird!

Today, seeing that Manager Peng was holding a banquet here and inviting them to dinner, everyone became impolite and picked up their chopsticks to eat vigorously.

Che Gang took out a bottle of the most precious old Fenjiu from his cupboard and poured a glass for Gu Wenxuan with great respect.

Shopkeeper Peng said jokingly, "Boss Che, won't you pour me a cup?"

Although Manager Peng was Che Gang's immediate superior, he did not pour him a glass of Lao Fenjiu.

"Manager Peng, just pour yourself some Erguotou. Mr. Gu is our precious guest. If everyone pours a glass, my bottle of Fenjiu won't be enough!"

Gu Wenxuan and Che Gang clinked glasses with each other.

Then he said, "Boss, you're welcome. Let's just drink Harbin Beer. I've heard of Harbin Beer in the mainland, but I've never drunk it!"
