Chapter 181 Trivia before the war 1



Tang Yifei's family arrived in Shanghai on the afternoon of July 9, that is, a month ago. Since the nominal father-in-law and mother-in-law moved their families, Qin Chuan, as the son-in-law, had to go and pick up the passenger ship in person with Tang Yifei.

Arriving at the Pier 16, Qin Chuan and Tang Yifei drove two Mercedes-Benzes, Cadillacs and another Studepunkt into the pier, attracting the attention of many passers-by.

Unexpectedly, when Qin Chuan and his party arrived at the pier, they saw Satomi Fu and Chengda Yushi already waiting on the pier.

Seeing the two of them, Qin Chuan and Tang Yifei hurried forward to express their gratitude.

Although Tang Yifei is extremely disgusted with the Japanese, after all, the two people in front of her have really helped her family a lot. It can even be said that it would have been absolutely impossible for the family to arrive in Shanghai so quickly without the help and coordination of the two people.

, so Tang Yifei also expressed her most sincere gratitude to Satomi Fu and Chengda Yushi.

Qin Chuan could feel the sincere gratitude to Qin Chuan and Tang Yifei, and both of them were very happy.

When the Tang family got off the boat, Qin Chuan couldn't help but be dumbfounded and regretted not asking how many people there were in advance.

It turned out that the Tang family not only had Tang Yifei's parents, two brothers and family members, but also two apprentices and their families. Together, there were more than 20 people in total. Not counting them, they also carried many packages, large and small. Qin Chuan

The four cars they brought could not fit at all, but fortunately Satomi and Seita

Youzhi had been prepared for a long time. It is estimated that these two people wanted Qin Chuan to be more grateful to them, so they did not inform Qin Chuan of the number of people who came to Shanghai this time. Instead, they brought six cars with them.

It goes without saying that he is ready to help Qin Chuan pick up people.

When they went out, including Qin Chuan and Tang Yifei, they were a group of five people. When they came back, they totaled nearly thirty people. The ten cars were all filled with people and packages. Fortunately, Qin Chuan's new home was big enough, and there were twenty people upstairs and downstairs.

A room is enough to accommodate these people.

Naturally, Satomi Fu and Seida Yushi couldn't be bothered. After unloading their luggage, they said goodbye to Qin Chuan and left.

Regarding the pomp and circumstance of Qin Chuan picking up the ship, especially when they saw Qin Chuan and Tang Yifei's home, Tang's mother and Tang Yifei's two brothers were so happy that their eyes shone with joy, and their faces were always full of sincere smiles. Only Tang Yifei

Qin Chuan was puzzled by his father's cold face.

I found an opportunity to quietly ask Tang Yifei, and Tang Yifei learned from her mother that the old man was very worried about Qin Chuan's unusual relationship with the Japanese, and even told Tang Yifei clearly that he was just avoiding Shanghai temporarily.

After the war, he will leave Shanghai after they get married. As for whether to return to Peiping or settle down somewhere else, we will decide at that time what happens.

Qin Chuan both admired and felt helpless for the old man Tang who had a clear distinction between love and hate. Although there were many traitors who were willing to be slaves to the country's subjugation, there was no doubt that the vast majority of Chinese people had a strong sense of nationality.

For this reason, Qin Chuan also respected Old Man Tang a lot more, which also made Tang Yifei, who was sweating, breathe a sigh of relief.

For this matter, Qin Chuan had booked a hotel as early as yesterday. It has a more Beijing flavor and was the most luxurious and tallest hotel in Shanghai at the time, the International Hotel.

After a short rest, Qin Chuan left Zhao Yi, who asked to stay at home, and took Jiao Huang and others with him, and warmly invited "father-in-law, mother-in-law" and the Tang family as well as Old Man Tang's apprentices and family members to rush to the dinner venue.

Naturally, there were not enough vehicles close to home. Qin Chuan called Xu Mingda in the afternoon, and the inspection office had already sent six cars waiting outside.

Although Peiping was also a famous big city during the Republic of China, its modern atmosphere was much worse than that of Shanghai. Under Tang Yifei's cheerful introduction, through the car window, the "father-in-law and mother-in-law" looked at the street scene outside the window and

The endless flow of traffic and people couldn't help but admire them. When they arrived at the International Hotel, a group of people

I was even more shocked by the bright neon lights on the Bund. I was even more shocked by the 24-story International Hotel, the tallest building in Shanghai and the tallest building in the Republic of China. Under the guidance of Qin Chuan, I walked into the magnificent hotel.

In the international hotel, everyone was even more surprised and couldn’t open their mouths.

In the luxurious private room, Qin Chuan directly ordered a Manchu-Han banquet in order to let his "father-in-law" and his party get used to the taste.

Unexpectedly, Qin Chuan's actions not only did not win praise from his future "father-in-law", but on the contrary, because he saw Qin Chuan spending money carelessly, it caused the old man to blow his beard and glare. Qin Chuan repeatedly apologized, and saw a crowd of people waiting for him.

The old man gave up with an expectant look, but still did not agree to the entire Manchu-Han banquet and only agreed to order some dishes.

The Manchu-Han Banquet has one hundred and eight dishes, and it requires reservation. Many dishes need to be prepared in advance. It is not easy to cancel the order. Qin Chuan had to go to the hotel manager in person and proposed that there would only be thirty-six dishes tonight, and the rest

It will be delivered to Qin Chuan’s house tomorrow and the day after tomorrow at noon.

Although there are thirty-six dishes, the portions of these dishes are quite generous. Not to mention the steamed bear paws and steamed deer tails, the steamed lamb and braised pig alone are enough for more than thirty people to enjoy a meal. They watched the dishes being served like water.

Exquisite and delicious, the old man still seemed to be suppressing his anger. It was not until Qin Chuan drank three glasses of wine with the old man and repeatedly promised that he would never spend so lavishly in the future that the old man gradually turned from anger to joy.

The old man actually knew very well that Qin Chuan was spending so much money because he wanted to please himself, but he was used to being thrifty, so he still felt very dissatisfied with Qin Chuan spending money like this.

Fortunately, during the banquet, Tang Yifei carefully introduced Qin Chuan's income to her father, mother and two brothers. The old man learned that this son-in-law was not only a well-known writer in Shanghai, but also a university professor and the deputy general manager of Global Business Group.

The shareholder of "Life Herald" and the director of the Inspection Office of the Ministry of Interior in Shanghai can stop sulking after his monthly income is more than 20,000 yuan after including royalties and salaries from several positions.

Everyone in the Tang family enjoyed this meal very happily. Qin Chuan was also very happy. Not only did he toast his "father-in-law and mother-in-law" with several glasses of wine, he also finally had a fight with his two "brothers-in-law" and Tang Yifei's two senior brothers.

Although Qin Chuan only drank a few glasses of liquor with his "father-in-law and mother-in-law" and drank beer for the rest, he still felt a little dizzy after drinking more than 20 bottles of beer.

We ate this meal until after ten o'clock in the evening, then we paid the bill and left.

This Manchu-Han banquet is indeed not cheap. Including the dishes that will be delivered to the Qin family tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, it will cost a full 1,300 French currency. You must know that at this time, French currency and ocean are of equal value, even if they are converted into US dollars,

It costs more than four hundred.
