On the pier of Tianjin Port, baskets full of marine goods are piled neatly. Each pile weighs more than 20,000 kilograms. There are five piles in total, adding up to more than 100,000 kilograms of sea goods.
All the people working at Tianjin Port stopped what they were doing, and each of them opened their eyes wide and stared at the piles of sea fish.
"I've never seen so many fish in my life!"
Some elderly people lamented that fish is not new. Everyone has seen and eaten it, but when they saw more than 100,000 kilograms of fish piled up like a mountain at one time, these people present were all
First time meeting.
"Tsk, what kind of fish is that? It's so big, maybe it weighs hundreds of kilograms?"
Someone pointed to a big fish and said, This one is so big that it cannot be picked up in a basket and can only be placed outside alone. Big fish like this are not uncommon, and there are many big fish like this.
"I'm afraid it won't stop. I saw it when I just got off the boat. Two strong men were holding it with their teeth gritted."
Someone next to me quickly said: "I estimate it may exceed two hundred kilograms. This is the first time I have seen such a big fish."
"I heard that there is a kind of marine fish called a whale in the sea. One head may weigh several thousand kilograms."
"Come on, I've never heard of a big fish weighing several kilograms, how is it possible?"
"I've also heard that there are. People at the shipyard are said to be studying the construction of fishing boats. One type is a boat and a crossbow specially used for hunting whales. This is what Mr. Liu said, and it shouldn't be wrong.
"
"What Mr. Liu said is definitely not wrong."
"Now we are in a good mood. We will probably have meat to eat every meal in the future. This fish is also meat."
When it came to eating meat, everyone on the dock couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
In this era, for those at the bottom, eating enough is a big problem, let alone eating meat. Although after working for Liu Jin here, I can eat three times a day, but it takes several days to eat meat.
For once, eating meat was still a relatively luxurious thing.
In fact, just as everyone expected, more than 100,000 kilograms of marine fish were harvested. Liu Jin was also very generous, announcing that the cement factory, maritime academy, and shipyard would have additional meals, and everyone would be able to eat meat.
Enough fish.
Tianjin cement factory.
As the bell rang for the end of the day, people who had worked hard for a day finished their work, washed the dirty things on their bodies, and then ran to the canteen excitedly.
Before getting off work, the steward had already announced the good news. From now on, there will be meat and fish to eat every meal. The fish and meat are the same as rice. There is enough for them, so you can eat them as you like.
Chen Shuiwa is the one who rushes the fastest. Whenever it is a day to eat meat, he is definitely the first to rush. Otherwise, Chen Shuiwa, who comes from a poor family in the countryside, has never had a few meals of meat since he was a child. As for eating meat,
He is always happy and full of motivation.
It was the same today. He rushed to the cafeteria at almost a speed of 100 meters, completely ignoring the ridicule of the people around him. In his opinion, eating meat was a big deal, more important than anything else. As for whether he would be criticized by others
Ridicule, is this more important than eating an extra bowl of meat?
When he was very close to the canteen, he smelled the fragrance of fish, which made him couldn't help but speed up his pace. He was the first to rush into the canteen and served himself a bowl full of rice very skillfully.
Then he hurried to the food area.
"It's you Shuiba again, you brat. Open your belly and eat as much as you can. From now on, you'll have enough fish and meat."
Everyone working in the kitchen knows this Chen Shuiwa. Every time he eats meat, he is always at the forefront. How could he not know him?
“Is the fish tube enough?”
When Chen Shuiwa heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. Then he looked at the bowl of rice in his hand and was immediately confused. Should he throw the rice back?
"I don't know. Today, the five ships from the Maritime Academy came back from the sea and caught more than 100,000 kilograms of marine fish, which is enough for us to eat in our bellies. Are you afraid that you will get tired of eating meat in the future?"
"Here, let's try this fried large yellow croaker first."
The aunt serving food in the kitchen said with a smile, and then gave Chen Shuiwa a bowl full of fried large yellow croaker.
"One hundred thousand catties of fish?"
When Chen Shuiwa heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded. He was thinking about how many fish these 100,000 kilograms of fish were, but soon he turned his attention to the bowl of fish in front of him.
Find a seat and start feasting.
"Hmm~ It's delicious. It's delicious. It's fried just right. The fish is very fresh and there are very few bone spurs. There are very few bones in the pieces of meat."
While eating, Chen Shuiwa kept nodding. This fish is indeed delicious.
Soon, there were more and more people in the cafeteria, and it started to become very lively. When eating meat, everyone was scrambling for fear of losing. In fact, most people were similar to Chen Shuiwa, but they were just laughing at fifty steps.
Just a hundred steps.
Buckets after buckets of sea fish are constantly brought out, allowing people to eat with open stomachs and eat as much as they want.
Anyway, for Liu Jin now, this food may not be easy to buy, and it is also very expensive. As long as there is a boat, there will be endless fish and meat to eat every day. As for the cost, it is simply insignificant. It can just reduce the consumption of food and save money.
food.
This meat is open and can be eaten casually. I have never heard of it before, let alone had the opportunity to experience it.
There was no unnecessary sound in the entire cafeteria. Everyone was silently looking at the meat in their bowls, eating as hard as they could. After eating, they immediately went to refill their bowls, until they couldn't hold it anymore, and then they started to eat slowly.
started chatting.
"I have lived my whole life and have never encountered anything like this. This meat can be eaten with open belly. This meal is really comfortable. It's a pity that there is no wine, otherwise it would be perfect."
"Looking at how beautiful you are, you still want to drink. Why don't you go to heaven?"
"Haha, let me just say this. It's better to follow Mr. Liu. In days like this, I can't bear to go back. I want to work for Mr. Liu all my life."
"I heard that more than 100,000 kilograms of fish were brought back. From now on, we will have meat to eat every meal. Although the fish meat is delicious, it is still not as delicious as pork and does not have that greasy feeling."
"You just had a meal of fish and meat. You are here to pick and choose. Don't be dissatisfied. That is to say, you are working with Mr. Liu. If you didn't come in, you wouldn't go and see the hungry people in Tianjin City.
They even gnawed away the bark of the trees and started eating the Guanyin soil."
"When you drink water, think of its source. I see that you have been lazy in doing things recently. Please touch your conscience and ask, are you worthy of it?"
"I know in my heart that Mr. Liu is good to us, but recently I have also missed my family. We have enough to eat here, but there is a famine at home, so sometimes I have no time to do things, alas!"
"No, I miss my family a lot. I can't go back now because I'm afraid I won't be able to come in. Then I will also starve. This year's wheat harvest will be impossible, and now all the food has been almost eaten.
, I don’t know how to live from now on.”
Speaking of the current famine, each of these people couldn't help but frown, and they were all worried about their families, because as the old food became less and less, the famine was becoming more and more serious.
