200th Octopus Pier

When Tu Hao returned home, the kitchen had already prepared a bunch of seafood.

Xu Mingxu waited at the door, and led him to the dining room with a smile: "Sanlang bought a lot today, and it happened that Boss Liang came and made the sauce himself, and he will eat it directly after roasting."

After arriving in Jing County, they had more contacts with Boss Liang.

At the very beginning, Boss Liang didn't want to hug his thigh.After all, he is from Taiping County, and he is not familiar with the place in the capital, let alone doing business, without any connections.

However, after getting along with each other for many years, he discovered that Tu Hao and Xu Mingxu, a young couple, usually have no airs at all, and even treated him with some respect for the elders.In particular, Tu Hao also likes to eat, and he has many new food ideas. Xu Mingxu is also a loyal diner of their roast goose. The two sides communicated like this, as long as they have nothing to do, they often have dinner together.

The door was tightly closed in winter, and when the dining room door was opened, Tu Hao smelled the fragrance, and his saliva almost flowed down: "Wow, leave that squid to me!"

There are no brothers at the dinner table, let alone uncles and nephews?

"This is mine!" Tu San picked up the sizzling grilled squid from the iron plate, and stuffed it into his mouth, regardless of the heat, he ate it quickly, fanning it desperately with one hand.

Xu Mingxu was afraid that his eldest nephew would be killed by his vicious rats, so he quickly pulled him back: "Don't worry, don't worry, you wash your hands and face first, and brother will bake it for you. The sauce is ready, let's not worry." Said He only has the strength of a little mouse when he gets up, and beating someone is just tickling, but the elder nephew may not be able to bear it.

Xu Mingxu prevented a tragic pecking of chickens, and quickly took tools to grill the squid on the iron plate.

Tu Hao grabbed the towel and pointed at the side: "Put the shells on the side to roast first, that's slow. I also want to eat grilled fish, do you have any meat? Pork belly is also delicious. Let's add some mushrooms, garlic sprouts and so on."

"I have them all." Boss Liang replied with a smile, "It was sent from Wanchun Village. Lao Liang, I have a good meal today." He is a food maker, so he is particularly sensitive in this regard.Whether it is vegetables or meat, the ones from Wanchun Village are better than those from other places.

Theoretically, there is not only one Zhuangzi near Wanchunzhuang.Although they all belonged to those nobles in the capital, they were not as strict as Wanchun Manor.He has eaten it a few times through the door, and the taste is really bad.

There were four people at a table, Xu Mingxu, Boss Liang, and Tu San all did it themselves, and only Tu Hao opened his mouth as a good-for-nothing.After he was half full, he had time to observe: "Sanlang, you bought a lot of seafood today."

Before Tu San could speak, the kitchen brought up pots, cleared away the already messed-up iron plates, and left behind plates of clean seafood, meat and vegetables.

Eating a pot is not as nervous as eating a teppanyaki. Tu San wiped his mouth clean, staring at the small shells in the pot that have not yet opened their shells: "Yes. A big ship came over today, and a lot of seafood is still alive." The small pouch given by his uncle before he left, I'm afraid it's really not enough for the little pocket money he has with him.

He also said, "I bought several fish, asked them for some sea water to keep them, and sent them to the capital to eat for my uncles. Before switching to the river, let alone the capital, we also have fish here. There is no way to eat such fresh sea fish."

When it came to the last sentence, Tu San couldn't help being a little proud.As a member of the flood control project, he felt honored.

Xu Mingxu, as the magistrate of Jing County, of course understands the changes better. While scooping up hot ingredients for Tu Hao, he said, "It used to take two full days to travel from the capital to Yurao. Now Yurao arrives in our Beijing city." It takes about half a day to go by water in the county. Big ships can come in, and we will have more rare things along the coast in the future.”

He said to Tu Hao again, "My brother-in-law organized and assembled the big boat today. Others don't have the courage."

He didn't realize it himself, when he spoke to Tu Hao, his voice was a little softer.

The good boss present here is a fine person, and he can watch it quietly.Although Tu San was a tall man, he was actually only seventeen, half a year older than Tu Hao. Every time he looked at him, he felt superfluous.

Tu Hao didn't feel anything.He opened his mouth to eat a bite of meat that Xu Mingxu gave him, thinking of Da Chuan: "I knew I would go to the fish market with Saburo today."

Big ships represent big merchants.In this year, it even represents a big family.

If wealth is measured by means of transportation, among ordinary people, having a healthy donkey is considered a well-off family.If you can have a strong cow, you will already be a well-known family in the ordinary class of good people.

On top of this, the family who can use a carriage at home must be the bureaucratic class.The number and quality of horses also represent their wealth and official rank to a certain extent.After all, it is not possible to ride a carriage with money.

Boats, this means of transportation, are not used by ordinary families, but some families along the river or along the coast will use them.

However, the big ship is another class.

It is no exaggeration to say that the cost of a large ship is now fully worth a house in the capital, and it is a house with a good location and size.This is not something that ordinary big businessmen can afford today. It's not that businessmen don't have enough money, but that businessmen don't have the technology to build ships.

The aristocratic class has mastered most of the resources of this era, and is fully capable of monopolizing knowledge and technology.

For example, when Xu Mingxu built Baiyun Community in Anchang County, the local people didn't know how to paint the walls.For Xu Mingxu, this kind of technology is just common sense.

After Xu Mingxu heard Tu Hao's words, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't you dislike the dirty fish market? If you really want to go, I'll take you there tomorrow, just as I have to arrange things at the pier."

"Sigh..." Tu Hao really disliked the dirty fish market, and was extremely entangled, "Can't we make an appointment at another place?" There is no one who would choose such a date place for a beautiful person.

Hearing them mention the fish market, Boss Liang said, "Xiao Tu is right to dislike it. Now the fish market is the dirtiest place in our county. Xiao Xu, you have to clean it up."

The current county town is really clean.Even the people on the street are cleaner than other places.The vigorous sanitation campaign in summer has achieved remarkable results.Even now, most of the flowers sold on the street are herbs that have the effect of killing insects.The appearance is not as good as those colorful flowers before, but the sales are much better.

It's just that I don't know why it has become popular to grow garlic in the house recently, and now the streets are full of garlic smell...

Xiao Xu, the parent officer, was also a little worried: "Isn't it too late?" There is really no shortage of quick-witted people among the people.I don't know how their news spread, but a few days after the river was dug through, the small fishing boats from Yurao's side came in droves.

One must know that in the summer, Zheng Han was still in Yurao's organization, so he could only see a small boat selling some sea vegetables every few days for what purpose.

The current fish market is not in the county seat, but it is not far from the county seat, and it only takes a short time to walk out of the city gate.

In fact, as early as when Tu Hao started digging the river, he planned to build a wharf.Taking advantage of his family, he was able to see the construction drawings directly from Tu Hao, and the location of the pier was also discussed by the two of them.

After all, if you want to build a wharf, you have to pay attention to various aspects such as water depth and water surface area.

As a result, as soon as Tu Hao finished digging here, his boat came and directly docked at the dock they had chosen.He hasn't even raised the manpower and material resources to build the pier yet!

Xu Mingxu: It's useless to rush yourself suddenly.

But no matter what he thought in his heart, he still had to take Tu Hao to the fish market the next day.

In fact, now that everyone in Jing County is aware of hygiene, the fish market is not as smelly and sewage as Tu Hao imagined.But those who sell aquatic products can't avoid the fishy smell and water.

Although it was early in the morning, the fish market was already very lively, with crowds coming from all over the place.From the costumes, it can be easily seen that there are many ordinary people in the city, some farmers, and even some compradors of big families.

Some shopkeepers and women selling various small commodities also shuttled through it with baskets, yelling a few words from time to time.

There are also vendors selling breakfast, pushing small carts and setting up stalls on the side of the street, and the aroma of various breakfasts wafts unscrupulously in this small fish market.

As soon as Tu Hao got off the carriage, he found his way and walked straight there, but unfortunately he walked like a zombie.

Xu Mingxu specially found a pair of high-toothed clogs for Tu Hao today, just to prevent him from stepping on the sewage. Unexpectedly, Tu Hao's road would be difficult to walk, and his cheeks puffed up slightly with anger: "Who made these clogs? Why are they so tall? ?” Can a gentleman like him wear high heels?

Xu Mingxu looked funny, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud, without showing any expression on his face, he put his arms around his shoulders and leaned into his arms: "Brother, carry you over?"

"No." Tu Hao refused softly with a blushing face.It's not the family that is under the public eye.

When he managed to move to the breakfast stall, he immediately sat down and looked at the menu on the price list energetically: "Shopkeeper, give me one of each!"

The storekeeper immediately responded briskly: "Good!" In the blink of an eye, several steamers and dishes were brought up and set up a table.

There are many things on the table, but in fact there are not many.The delicious smell that wafted out made Xu Mingxu twitch his index finger, pointing to the empty table next door and said to the driver, "Order what you want."

The coachman thanked Tu Hao with a smile, and before he had studied what he should eat, he heard the owner say "Aiya", and turned around to see Xu Mingxu protecting Tu Hao, and he was completely chilled by a basin of sea water.An octopus was still slipping slimily off his shoulder.

A seven or eight-year-old boy, holding a basin in his hand, pointed at Xu Mingxu and laughed.
