Huaizhong City, the big wharf in the south of the city.
Originally this place was called "Shangdu". After Zhou Laicheng was captured, the entire ferry was taken over by Commissioner Li and quickly transformed into Shuizhai Wharf.
The main purpose is to maintain the boats. If the boats rented or borrowed from Wu State must be returned, they will definitely not need to be maintained. As for the boats that do not need to be returned, of course they must be well maintained.
If you borrow something that you don't have to pay back, it's your own.
You must take good care of your own things and take care of them.
The official name of the big wharf is "Huaizhong Pier One", and the scale of the embankment is obviously much larger than that of the east and west sides. The flat embankment on the east side is to be converted into a storage yard, and temporary warehouses have been built on it.
There is a sluice between the sluices, which diverts the Huaihe River. In addition to irrigation purposes, it can also be used for navigation of boats.
There are special bulk cargo unloading areas to the north, such as silk, grain, linen, raw materials, armor, leather, etc., but they are not set up next to the Huai River, but deep inland.
To the west of Huaizhong Pier 1 is the market. It was originally a small market that formed spontaneously. After the establishment of the market order, it was divided equally between the government and the people. Bulk materials at the wharf are traded here, and private vendors produce and sell their own goods here.
.
After all, boat travel is relatively convenient, and Huainan’s local specialties can be sold in Huaibei by just a short boat trip.
As you enter and exit, the market in Huaibei feeds countless families of five in Huainan.
"Xishikou is really busy here."
"There is a Xishi Primary School, where the families of martyrs and volunteers can study."
"Well……"
Businessmen from all over the world, as long as they have some knowledge, feel that Li Jie, a beast from the Wu Kingdom, is extremely cruel.
"Brother Linghu's first arrival in Huaizhong City must be the same as when Brother Yu first arrived. Huaizhong City is unique everywhere, why not find a restaurant to sit down and chat?"
"good."
Speaking with accents from northeastern Jin Dynasty, the two of them found a restaurant in "Xishikou" and went in to find a seat to sit down.
There are all tables, chairs and benches, there is a front room, a kitchen in the back, some facing the street and some with windows. You can see the mountains and rivers and the market. The style of this restaurant is also very different from other countries.
"Although sharing meals is common in the local area, it is not common. Nowadays, most people eat at the same table."
I patted the table. It was made of excellent beech wood and processed very neatly. It made people feel comfortable at first sight.
There are two bamboo tubes placed on the table. One bamboo tube has chopsticks inserted upside down, and the other has a long bamboo tube inserted. The latter is used as serving chopsticks for hygiene reasons.
"This restaurant is not privately owned."
"It was originally the canteen at the Xishikou construction site."
"..."
The Jin man who was called Brother Linghu was speechless. He came to Huaizhong City, so he naturally knew what the "canteen" was.
That was supposed to be a shack for low-class bitches to eat. I never imagined that I would come to have a meal.
Before, he would have thought that this old friend was looking down on him, but Huaizhong City was full of weird things, so he wouldn't have thought so much.
After all, in this "canteen", those crocodile-like beasts often come to eat.
Just as I was thinking about the crocodile man, I saw two crocodile men come in, and then in a very awkward accent, they said to the counter: "Large spaghetti noodles, two bowls, and rice, one basin."
"You two captains, don't wait, let's do it."
As soon as the shopkeeper behind the counter opened his mouth, "Brother Linghu" was offended. He said to himself, "You two damn big-headed soldiers, how dare you use the word "captain"? Are you Wu people so shameless?"
But when he saw the dead faces of the two crocodile men, "Brother Linghu"'s frightened mood stabilized again, calm, calm.
"Brother Linghu, if you learn the art of war, where should you serve?"
"It's too early to tell."
After sighing, he saw two young men busy at work. Side dishes had been placed on their table, including meat and vegetables. In addition to the soft beans, there was also a plate of dried bamboo shoots and a plate of fungus, five or six yuan.
Crispy fish and two chicken feet.
Looking at the side dishes that were served, "Brother Linghu" was stunned, especially the crispy fish. It looked like it was fried. What the hell is this?!
He is a descendant of the Linghu family, but he has never eaten fried food many times in his hometown. Oil is too expensive!
"please!"
He took out a pair of chopsticks and handed them over. The treater did not notice the change in the expression on the other side. He took out a pair of chopsticks and sighed: "My wife came from Luojing and wanted to meet Li Zi early. Who knows,
Li Zi is going to Xinzheng. If I had known this, I might as well have gone to Zheng first."
"I think the old slider has his own considerations."
"Alas... To be honest, Master ordered me to come to Jianghuai, it's really... alas!"
With another heavy sigh, "Brother Linghu" said with relief: "Old Huazi is a wise man in this world, and my virtuous brother will surely enjoy his virtues in the future."
Just as the sighing guy was about to speak, he saw the store serving a pot of rice wine, and the sweet smell overflowed, refreshing him.
"There's wine?"
"Huainan rice brewing can only be sold by local government-run restaurants."
Everyone knows that Huaizhong City has been short of rice and grain these past few months.
But there is still food to make wine, which is quite an exaggeration.
However, "Brother Linghu" looked at the dishes on the table, made a calculation in his mind, and nodded slightly: "Huaizhong has abundant ingredients, which is indeed unusual."
This is a very complicated account, but it is generally understandable. The land output is not high. Increasing the yield per unit mu is one way; opening up more fields is also another way; increasing the diversity of food on the table.
Still a method.
As long as he sees that there are so many local taro stocks, "Brother Linghu" believes that the food crisis in Huaizhong City will not be any worse than elsewhere.
The local ability to resist famine is obviously much stronger.
Just from a stack of crispy fish, you can see a lot of things behind it.
The local oil is rich and can be used to make this kind of side dish. So the river fish, which is originally troublesome to eat, can be fried. The big fish bones are hard to say, but the small fish bones that are originally disgusting will be no problem.
"Boy, chicken noodles."
The waiter brought two bowls of noodles to the table. The noodles were not very white, but a little grayish brown. The noodle soup was also a little thick. In addition to chopped green onions, there was also dried shrimps.
A handful of slender and cooked bean sprouts, and a golden and shiny poached egg.
"this……"
Before "Brother Linghu" could sigh, the boy carefully took another pot and tapped it twice on the small plate. The sour smell immediately overflowed.
It's vinegar.
At this time, "Brother Linghu" didn't want to speak at all. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating quickly.
Vinegar...is expensive.
This meal was quite exquisite for "Brother Linghu", and the third funny doctor who was treating the guests had a trembling face when he paid for it.
This meal... is very expensive.
Not many people would spend time in such a restaurant if it is not necessary. Only those with high wages like the Crocodile Man can go to the restaurant to solve the problem of eating.
Eating a bowl of noodles on a cold day, and being on the bank of the Huai River, makes people feel warm and comfortable.
"This Huaizhong City..." "Brother Linghu", who was whisking his beard, was in a happy mood, "It's really good."
Unfortunately, exquisite consumption is a bit expensive. If you want to get a high salary, you have to be like a crocodile.
"A real man should learn the art of war!"
"Brother Linghu is so ambitious."
But at this moment when "Brother Linghu" was full of pride, he was extremely conflicted in his heart: Chicken noodles are delicious and expensive.
If you learn the art of war, you can get a high salary and eat chicken noodles every day!
