Chapter 424: Planting the Flag
After Chen Liangzi got Ning Yuan's instructions and left the yard, Ning Yuan watched him leave before turning around and going back into the house.
It was getting late, but the neighbors in the yard were still as lively as ever.
Ning Wanli and Zhong Yan were both very generous and magnanimous, so there was no need to hesitate. They just took out a large basin and started kneading the dough.
The lunch was quite comfortable, with wine, vegetables and meat.
Of course, there was no such ceremony in the evening, after all, the people who came to help cook at noon had all gone back.
Zhong Yan worked together with some women in the courtyard to knead the dough, and then began to make pulled noodles.
This kind of pulled noodles has very strict requirements on the softness and hardness of the dough.
Pull it out into a long and wide strip and put it in the pot to cook.
Qin Youfang and Meng Guilou also came out from the inner room and helped everyone fight.
Making noodles is still faster. With so many people working together, pot after pot of noodles are soon ready.
I don't know where this tradition came from, but whenever there's a business like this, the women are the ones busy in the kitchen, while the men sit and drink tea, chat, and play cards.
After the meal was ready, they heard them calling and stood up and went straight to get the meal and eat.
After Ning Yuan and his brothers sat in the house eating, drinking and chatting for a while, they were called out by Aunt Pang to serve the meal.
The pulled noodles are chewy and taste delicious when topped with tomato and egg sauce.
Ning Yuan brought a bowl of noodles back to Meng Qing, and then went to get another bowl for himself.
The elders were all chatting and laughing outside the house. The big red lanterns in the yard made the open space in front of Ningyuan's house exceptionally bright.
The evening breeze is blowing gently and it feels very comfortable.
After the men finished their meal, several people from Sichuan and Hunan immediately came to the table to play mahjong.
It was such a happy day today and no one wanted to lose interest, so two mahjong tables were quickly set up.
After Ning Yuan and his friends finished their meal, Feng Sanyuan, Xiao Yang and Sun Kegong said goodbye to each other and went back.
After all, the three of them all have jobs, and they all took leave today, but they have to go back to work tomorrow.
Only Ning Yuan, Ning Wei, Zhong Yuemin and Fatty Fan were left in the room.
Meng Qing was not idle either. After dinner, she went to wash dishes with Zhong Yan and others.
It must be said that this behavior did give the neighbors a better impression of Meng Qing.
Zhong Yan couldn't stop laughing when she heard the neighbors praising her daughter-in-law.
This child is indeed sensible and makes me proud.
A group of people who had experienced this kept praising Meng Qing. Qin Youfang was also very modest. Zhong Yan took Meng Qing's hand and echoed the praises of her daughter-in-law for being sensible.
The atmosphere was quite comfortable, with men playing mahjong and women chatting and laughing.
The moon is bright in the sky, cicadas are chirping, birds are singing, and there is a cool breeze!
Ning Yuan and the others in the room sat down and continued chatting.
Zhong Yuemin and Fatty Fan did not hear the conversation between Ning Yuan and Chen Liangzi. Feng Sanyuan and his brothers were there, so they did not ask any questions.
Now, of course, there are no such concerns. We are all blood brothers, so there is nothing we can't talk about.
"Have those knifemen been settled?"
Zhong Yuemin cracked melon seeds and asked Ning Yuan casually.
Ning Yuan felt a little bloated after eating, and was now rubbing his stomach while slumped on the sofa.
After hearing Zhong Yuemin's question, he nodded calmly and continued.
"Chen Liangzi has already contacted those guys. Let them hide for tonight. I will arrange for them to leave the city tomorrow!"
"Where are we going after leaving the Forbidden City? Today's incident is both small and big!"
Fatty Fan asked with great interest.
Ning Yuan glanced at the door and said in a low voice.
"Tomorrow, we brothers will go to the Youth League Office to get some travel permits, get them to Langfang first, take the train from there, and head south!"
"Going south? Guangzhou? That's a good place to go. Our two families have a lot of connections in Guangdong and Guangxi. Finding someone and settling down shouldn't be a problem!"
Zhong Yuemin became interested instantly after hearing Ning Yuan's plan.
Indeed, the troops of Zhong Shanyue and Ning Wanli fought all the way to Guangdong and Guangxi.
Many officers were transferred to other jobs locally.
Therefore, what Zhong Yuemin said was not an exaggeration.
Ning Yuan wanted to send them to the south, naturally with this in mind. However, Zhong Yuemin was only half right, his real destination was Hong Kong and Kowloon.
"Guangdong and Guangxi are just a transition. If we want to completely resolve this matter, they can't appear in the country. So, I plan to arrange for them to sneak directly to Hong Kong and Kowloon!"
To be honest, Hong Kong and Kowloon during this period were not under the jurisdiction of the mainland, so as long as you sneaked across, it was equivalent to leaving the country.
Furthermore, with Ningyuan’s ambition and layout, it is necessary to establish a presence in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hong Kong and Kowloon.
The special economic zones and the first foreign port will be the first places to benefit from the future economic take-off.
At this time in Hong Kong and Kowloon, the era of the Four Inspectors is about to end, and the Independent Commission Against Corruption is about to be established.
During the transitional period of power transfer, chaos became the main theme of this prosperous land.
Send Zheng Liang, Wu Qiang and the others over there, and Ning Yuan will naturally give them an explanation.
This kid Zheng Liang is just as Chen Liangzi said when he first recommended him.
After experiencing the changes, he became much calmer and more reserved.
He is ruthless and smart. If he can find a suitable person to help with planning, he may be able to take advantage of this period of time to become independent in Hong Kong and Kowloon.
Ning Yuan could also use his father's connections to get some support from Guangdong and Guangxi.
When the special economic zone is established and he and others no longer have to hide in the Qinling Mountains, Ningyuan will be able to rise more quickly through these chess pieces that have been planted in advance.
Of course, only Ning Yuan himself knows about these plans. After all, we are still in an era of information closure.
Not to mention information from abroad, even Zhong Yuemin and Fan Pangzi don't dare to say that they know all the information from all over the country.
So when they heard Ning Yuan say that he wanted to settle these knifemen in Hong Kong and Kowloon, they looked at each other and didn't ask any more questions.
After all, Ning Yuan had just said that this matter could be big or small. As long as the person could not be caught, this matter could only be handled with the least impact.
Indeed, settling down is undoubtedly the best choice.
Fatty Fan and Zhong Yuemin asked what time they would go out tomorrow to meet up with the knifemen and make arrangements.
"Try to go as early as possible. There are still a lot of things to do tomorrow. If we can settle them early, we can breathe a sigh of relief!"
After thinking about it, Ning Yuan said to Zhong Yuemin and Fatty Fan.
"Okay, then let's meet at the gate of the yard at six o'clock tomorrow morning!"
Zhong Yuemin had no objection. Although Fatty Fan was a little hesitant, after all, it was really difficult for him to get up early, but he also knew the importance of this matter, so he nodded quickly.
