Wake up suddenly, back to the time when my wife and daughter had an accident

Chapter 545

"Boss, things in Guanshan Town are not cheap. A lunch for one person costs 5 yuan?"

Hou Song glanced out the window and saw that the yard was quiet in the morning and there was no one in sight.

"You don't know this, right? There are many foreign merchants in Guanshan Town, and those who dare to come here are not short of money. Not to mention a meal of 5 yuan, even 10 yuan will be eaten."

Hou Song thought so too. Those who come here are all dealing in wood. Any one of them is rich.

Meng Haisheng and Lin Jinyan live in one room, and Zhang Ting and Hou Song live in another room. The two rooms are close to each other, so it is convenient to move around.

After a few words, they rested separately. After sitting on the train for so long and riding in the car for several hours, everyone was exhausted.

While Meng Haisheng was packing his luggage, Lin Jinyan went to get charcoal and boiled a pot of water.

"Let's take a break today. I'll go find a local in the afternoon. We can't get around Guanshan Town without a local to help us."

Lin Jinyan talked about his plan while boiling water and making tea.

"Yeah, I thought so too. There are all kinds of people here and we are unfamiliar with the place. It's easy to be cheated."

"What about Ren Heming? Is he from here?"

"Ren Heming is from Guanshan Town, but he often cuts wood in the mountains. I don't know if he is easy to find."

"Wait for you to find a guide first, and then ask the guide later."

"That's the only way."

The two of them knew very well that if they went out to ask like this, they would be cheated 100%.

Meng Haisheng didn't eat either. He drank a bowl of fried noodles and got into bed to sleep.

On the train, the four of them took turns sleeping. After a few days, Meng Haisheng felt that he had never slept thoroughly.

This time, Meng Haisheng slept for three hours, from morning to mid-afternoon.

When he got up, Lin Jinyan was not in the room, and the whole guesthouse was still quiet.

Meng Haisheng was puzzled. Wasn't it said that the guesthouse was always full of people? How come no one was walking around for a day?

"Haishen is awake. You can sleep well. He went out. He said he would be back before the evening. If you are hungry, drink some fried noodles."

Hou Song heard the noise and came to find Meng Haisheng from next door.

"Okay, I'll go out later."

"Where are you going?"

"To the post office to send a telegram to my wife."

Hou Song grinned when he heard Meng Haisheng say that.

"I'll go with you."

"Okay."

Meng Haisheng understood Hou Song's good intentions. They still had to be careful about Guanshan Town. This is a border town, and it is common for people to go missing.

The two left the guesthouse together and asked an old man about the location of the post office.

The two walked side by side to the post office. The north wind whistled past, and Hou Song couldn't help shivering.

"It's really cold here."

"Fortunately, we'll each get a mink coat to wear later. We'll continue to go north in a few days. It's colder there than here. It's probably snowed in Guanshan Forest Farm now."

Guanshan Town is already on the border line, very close to the Snow Country. It's not uncommon to snow before November.

After walking for a while, Meng Haisheng felt that his body was frozen. The two didn't stroll on the road, but hurried to the post office.

Meng Haisheng sent a long telegram to Lin Mucheng to ensure his safety.

Hou Song on the side was amazed.

"Haisheng, telegrams are charged by word, and you're talking so much that it's going to cost a lot of money."

"It's okay. I'm sending a telegram to my wife, and I have to let her know that everything is fine here."

Meng Haisheng doesn't care about that little money. If the telegram wasn't confidential, he would have wanted to say something else.

The two came out of the post office, the sun was already setting, and there were a lot more people on the road.

When the two returned to the guesthouse, many people appeared in the originally quiet courtyard.

The lights in Meng Haisheng's room were also on, and it seemed that Lin Jinyan was back.

"Brother, you're back."

As soon as Meng Haisheng opened the door, he saw a black-faced man sitting around the stove with Lin Jinyan, and Zhang Ting was also putting coal into the stove.

"Well, this is Qin Yao, the guide I found."

"Hello, Comrade Qin."

Meng Haisheng and Hou Song smiled and greeted him.

After a few people exchanged pleasantries, Lin Jinyan got down to business this time.

"I've already asked Master Qin about this. Ren Heming is the head of Guanshan Forest Farm, with more than 200 people under him."

"He came into the forest late this year, and he hasn't left yet. If you want to find him, you can call him now."

Meng Haisheng didn't expect it to be so easy to find Ren Heming, and he didn't expect Ren Heming to be a head of the forest with so many people under him.

I didn't mention this when I reported on Ren Heming in my previous life.

But I thinkYes, if Ren Heming has no one under his command, it would not be so easy for him to exchange food for steel.

"That's great, can we meet tonight?"

Meng Haisheng was a little excited. As long as he found Ren Heming, the following things would not be so vague.

Although he has always wanted to exchange food for steel, this is just a vague plan, and there are too many variables.

But with Ren Heming, the whole plan will be clearer.

"Okay, Ren likes to have some wine, why not ask him to come over for a drink."

Meng Haisheng nodded slightly, this is all a piece of cake.

"Okay, I'll ask Boss Zhao to prepare a table of dishes."

"Then I'll go and invite people now."

When Qin Yao left, it was already completely dark. Meng Haisheng came out to see Qin Yao off, and then he found that the guesthouse they were staying in was not ordinary lively.

Some people who live here permanently cooked hot pot directly in the house, and the house was filled with smoke, like a fairyland.

Meng Haisheng thought that these people should all be here to do timber business.

Since there were pots in other rooms, Meng Haisheng guessed that Boss Zhao should have some too. When he went to Boss Zhao, he mentioned a hot pot, and sure enough, he had one ready.

"Boss Meng, whatever dish you want, just go to the canteen and ask for it. It will be ready and sent to your room."

"Okay."

Boss Zhao is a business man. After a while, someone brought over a small floor table with eight dishes on it, and also a mandarin duck hot pot. The soup base was ready and ready to eat at any time.

It was very comfortable to have hot dishes and hot pot in such a cold weather.

"Brother, you can choose this guesthouse. Although the appearance is not very good, it has everything."

"I asked people, and they all said that Dahai Guesthouse is the most comfortable to live in."

In winter, there are warm kangs to sleep on and hot pot to eat, so of course it is comfortable to live there.

Not long after the dishes were set up, Qin Yao brought Ren Heming in.

Meng Hai had only heard of Ren Heming's deeds in his previous life, but had never seen him. In his imagination, Ren Heming should at least be a middle-aged man.

After all, he could become the head of the wooden team, so he must not be young.

But the Ren Heming in front of him was a little beyond his expectations.
