Located at the intersection of the Yangtze River and Huangpu River, this is the first gateway to Shanghai.
Today is a public holiday, and there are many tourists on the river beach.
There are relatively few foreign tourists, most of whom are local Shanghainese.
Bring a bucket and shovel, and while enjoying the scenery, you can also go to the sea to dig some fresh shellfish before the tide comes in.
Eating is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is the process of digging seafood, which is full of joyful atmosphere.
Standing on the embankment and looking around, there are people everywhere in the sea. Each person has an iron hook and a small bucket in hand, and they throw the shellfish they dug out into the bucket.
If someone digs up a rare shellfish, it will immediately attract a small group of onlookers, and everyone will talk about it, with a mixture of envy and jealousy.
Seeing this situation, Gu Qingcheng could actively participate in it even if he didn't prepare the tools to dig out seafood.
She is a fun-loving girl.
From time to time, they would put on various poses and let Xu Siqi take the photos.
This is a happy moment.
Xu Siqi enjoyed this moment very much.
After all, humans are not machines, and no one can be nervous all the time.
Gu Qingcheng straightened up and looked down at the bucket - it was the bucket Xu Siqi used to clean the car, and it had been kept in the trunk.
After digging for more than half an hour, there were only a small amount of razor clams, clams and conches in the bucket.
Gu Qingcheng sighed: "Hey, there was a mistake."
"What's wrong?" Xu Siqi asked.
"Look at people, they are all using hooks, and you can catch shells with just one hook. Mine is not easy to use." Gu Qingcheng shook the shovel in his hand.
Xu Siqi smiled and said: "I paid a high price for this. Otherwise, the little girl will definitely not be able to sell it."
Not far from Gu Qingcheng, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old female student used an iron piece tied to a branch to carefully search for shells hiding under the beach.
She was the little girl who sold Gu Qingcheng the shovel.
Gu Qingcheng asked loudly: "Little sister, how much have you dug?"
"Almost half a bucket." The female student replied without raising her head.
Gu Qingcheng was immediately speechless.
It seems that it is not a tool problem, but a people problem.
Back on the dam, Xu Siqi brought clean seawater and helped Gu Qingcheng wash the sand off her feet.
The tide will rise in about an hour.
Xu Siqi glanced at his watch. It was now three o'clock in the afternoon and said, "Qingcheng, it's almost time. We should go back."
"All right."
Gu Qingcheng is still not satisfied. This kind of fun cannot be experienced in Shanghai.
Ten minutes later, the car entered Wusong Town.
Gu Qingcheng looked around and asked, "Siqi, why did you come into the town?"
Xu Siqi said: "Didn't you read in the newspaper that you must try braised fish when outing in Wusongkou? The braised fish in Wusong Town is said to be a local specialty. Since you are here, you should try it."
Gu Qingcheng also remembered that his father once mentioned that the braised fish in Wusong Town was indeed famous.
Wusong Town is adjacent to the Huangpu River and is a mooring point for fishing boats and a place for fish traders to settle.
Adapting measures to local conditions and unique ingredients.
Crucian carp is on the market and braised abalone is cooked.
The saury is on the market, cook the braised saury.
When abalone is on the market, it is naturally braised abalone.
Since passengers traveling between Changxing Island and Chongming Island all disembark in Wusong Town, the catering industry in the town is very prosperous.
Hexing Restaurant is located on the side of the Huangpu River in Wusong Town.
Not far away is the east gate of Wusong Steel Works.
If you enter through the east gate, you can walk to the experimental center in less than ten minutes.
Continuing deeper into the factory area, you will find the core part of Wusong Steel Works, including arc smelting workshop, power workshop, water treatment workshop, etc.
After entering Hexing Restaurant, Xu Siqi chose a table by the window. Through the glass window, he could see the side door from a distance.
There are guards on duty at the door, and workers must show their factory entry passes when entering or exiting.
The two ordered one braised abalone, one braised catfish, and one whitebait scrambled egg.
These are the specialty dishes of local restaurants.
Entering November is the season when fish are on the market in large quantities.
The meat is tender, delicious and most delicious.
Soon, the waiter was carrying a big tray and shouting the dishes: "One plate of braised abalone, one plate of braised catfish, one plate of whitebait scrambled eggs, and one tray of white-flour steamed buns."
Gu Qingcheng covered her mouth and smiled: "Siqi, all the dishes we ordered are fish."
"When I arrived in Wusong Town, I just came here to eat fish. If you want to eat chicken and duck meat, why bother traveling so far..."
Xu Siqi looked at the east gate of Wusong Steel Works.
A black Dodge sedan drove up to the door.
All other vehicles entering and exiting the factory, whether trucks or cars, must show their IDs, and trucks must also open their compartments for inspection.
This time it was different. When he saw the Dodge car approaching, the guard on guard immediately opened the door to let him go.
Obviously, this should be a factory interior vehicle.
Judging from the guard's attitude, the status of the car owner is not low.
Xu Siqi took a careful look and saw the Dodge sedan license plate: Shanghai 30575.
Gu Qingcheng ate with gusto and couldn't stop praising it.
The table is very close to the counter.
The boss felt very proud when he heard the guests praise the delicious food.
I saw that the two guests were well-dressed and driving a car. They were either rich or noble, and they couldn't be ordinary people anyway.
Naturally, one has to curry favor with such guests.
Businessmen all have the desire to make profits, and the boss’s idea is very simple.
If these two are satisfied with their meal and invite friends to come to support them in the future, it won't be a matter of one meal.
He asked the kitchen to add another dish, and the boss personally brought it over and said, "Boy, this is the chili fried squid given by the store. If it is convenient in the future, I hope you can come here often to support me."
"Thank you. The dishes all taste good, especially the braised catfish. It's tender and delicious. It's really great."
Out of politeness, Xu Siqi complimented him a few times.
Braised catfish is a signature dish.
Hearing Xu Siqi praise this dish, the boss immediately cheered up and said: "Sir, I am not praising Haikou. In the whole Wusong Town, Hexing's braised catfish is the best! Not to mention the distance, two days ago, the Steel Works
Section Chief Yagawa tasted this dish and said it was a rare delicacy in the world, and even wrote a poem on the spot."
Xu Siqi smiled and said: "It seems that Section Chief Yagawa is still a talented person."
The boss took out a notebook from the counter, turned to one of the pages, and said: "I was very happy at the time, so I asked Section Chief Yagawa to write it in the notebook. Sir, I see that you are a cultural person. How do you write a poem?"
——The pink stone head is still boneless, and the snow-white puffer fish has no medicine. I send a message to God and the river god, why not beg for the water essence scales.
This is Su Dongpo's "The Play of Catfish" written by Su Dongpo of the Song Dynasty.
I guess Section Chief Yagawa was just doing it to suit the occasion and was more or less deliberately trying to tease the restaurant owner.
What surprised Xu Siqi was that the poem "A Detailed Work on a Fish" was actually the handwriting of Ito Masako, the president of Ito Trading Company.
No wonder this guy disappeared without any news. It turned out that he changed his name and hid in Songhu Steel Works...
