(Thanks to the Tiexue Tianjiao for his reward, thank you! In addition, it will be on the shelves soon, and time will become more and more tight, so I urgently need to recruit a deputy moderator. Students who have the time and are interested in participating in the management of the Muzi Book Review Area can apply!)

Qiu Shengong sat in the best Phoenix Mountain Restaurant on Shamen Island, watching the delicious dishes served by the guys, all in color, fragrance and taste. Although he had tried his best to get a general's position, this was the first time he had eaten such a table.

"Eat, eat quickly." Li Jing raised his chopsticks and picked up a golden goose leg and put it in front of him. Lao Hei took it. The goose legs were fat and greasy, especially this was roasted in a secret recipe in Fenghuangshan Restaurant. Even the wood for roasting goose is specially selected for lychee wood used in the south. There are many layers of sauce and honey when baked on the goose legs. The goose legs are golden and brilliant in color, oily but not greasy, crispy and honey, as if melting in the mouth.

With a goose leg, Lao Hei almost burst into tears.

Thinking about the days I had lived most of my life before, and looking at the goose in my hand, he was very moved. Looking up, he saw that the other old brothers and the families of the restaurant were like hungry ghosts released from the hungry prison, all of whom were burying their heads and eating hard, like the wind swaying the remaining clouds.

"Why, this dish is not to your appetite, why don't you eat it?"

"General, it's delicious. I, Lao Hei, have never eaten such delicious dishes before. I'm afraid I will never forget the taste of this roast goose again, so I might as well stop eating it. Eat less, and remember it may not be so deep in the future."

"Hahaha!" Li Jing and others couldn't help laughing. Lao Hei's words were too funny. "Even if you eat, follow me to do it well. In the future, we will eat delicious and spicy food, and eat goose legs every day until we get tired of it. In the future, eat goose legs twice at a time, and eat one and leave one for one."

Zhang Chengzong also smiled and said, "Follow our general, you don't have to think about these trivial things in the future. You have to open your horizons. But we generals are willing to serve big meat slices and rice all day long when dealing with refugees. You are an officer after all, can you be afraid that you can't afford a goose leg after following the general?"

During this meal, Qiu Shengong ate ten big goose legs alone. The goose legs are worthy of one of the signature dishes of Fenghuangshan Restaurant, each priced at 100 cents. When checking out, Lao Hei found that he had eaten 1,000 cents for one meal, and his eyes were so shocked that he could buy five dou of good white rice for one thousand cents. It would be almost half a stone for a thousand cents. Other dishes were not cheap, and dozens of people ate 15 cents of money directly for this meal.

After dinner, Lao Hei insisted that the other brothers and people unload the goods on the ship to the dock warehouse. Li Jing refused, but he insisted very much. In the end, Li Jing had to let him go, because there was not too much stuff anyway. He pulled Qiu Shengong and packed a table from the restaurant to visit the two injured soldiers at their temporary residence.

Not far from the pier, next to the foot of Phoenix Mountain, there was a row of low seaweed shacks. In the cold wind, the wind blew, as if the shack could be rolled away at any time. Lao Hei pointed to the shack: "That's it. After the fuss with Feng Liang that day, I took my brothers away from the Shamen Fort and ran to the pier to take care of work, and then set up some shacks here temporarily."

At this time, a few coughs suddenly came from a shack in the middle, and a voice came out and said, "Lao Qiu, are you back?"

"Lao Qian, Lao Tian, ​​I'm back. Let me see what delicious food I'll bring you. Let me tell you, it's the best meal in the Phoenix Mountain Restaurant that you have never seen in your life, let alone eaten. Guess, what other distinguished guests have I brought back?"

The straw curtain on the shack was lifted, and a man who described his thinness and had a circle of gauze wrapped around his head came out. Li Jing entered the house and found that there was a strong smell of Chinese medicine in it. There was no furniture. There were a few wooden boards in the small shack onto several stones, which was probably the bed of a family of people. The bed was covered with dry straw and a thin quilt. In addition, there were only a simple stove made of stones by the door. It was so late, the stove was still cold, and people who were still waiting for those who were out to get some food back.

On the way here, Li Jing had heard from Lao Hei that the two injured were all garrison soldiers. One was his deputy mate Qian Laosan and the other was the sergeant Tian Laosqi. They were both thick men without Daming. One of them was injured by the head and the other was injured by the legs. They had been raising them for a long time and were short of medical treatment and medicine. They had not yet recovered.

Qian Laosan and Tian Laosqi didn't care who were here before. They were hungry at home for a day. When they saw the good table on the table they brought back, they started to move. While eating, they listened to Lao Hei telling them what had happened before. When they were halfway through, they heard that the new town general and his four servants came, both of them were shocked. They were still filled with food, and they had already stood up to salute Li Jing.

Li Jing hurriedly pulled them: "You are injured, and this is not in the military camp. You don't have to be so polite. Both of you are heroes and are not afraid of dominance. This makes me admire you. What I, Li Jing, admire most is that you guys, and I am very fortunate to be your boss. If you don't dislike me, we will be brothers in the future!"

This was said without any airs. They completely treated the two as brothers. Qian Laosan and the others were just the lowest-level guards. They had never suffered such a situation. Their favorability towards Li Jing was soaring, and they had completely agreed with this new boss in their hearts.

Qian Laosan laughed and said, "When it comes to martial arts, I can only fight three or five at most, but Lao Hei is amazing, and the other one can fight at least seven or eight. I heard that when I was in southern Xinjiang, a sword in a row on the battlefield, splitting five southern barbarians and three horses in succession, all of which were broken! Damn, if Lao Hei and the others were not there that day, his mother's surname was Feng's treasure and twenty would not be our opponent."

Lao Hei brought a few small mulberry trees from outside for Li Jing and the others to sit, shook his head and smiled, "Lao Qian and the others knew how to fight and kill, and never thought. If no one supported us, what if we beat Feng Liang and the others?"

"Now we have a general to be our backer. Let's go back to the fortress now. Donkey Ri's things must be cleaned up this time." Tian Laoqi leaned on the bed halfway with a wooden board in one leg, and said hatefully.

Li Jing smiled and said nothing as he heard the angrily words of several rough men. He stood up to Tian Laoqi and looked at his legs carefully. It was said that his legs were directly broken at that time. Lao Hei invited a doctor to show me medicine and also made a secondary splint fixation. After reading it several times, the doctor's technique was good. His leg bones had almost grown again and had not deformed. He carefully maintained it for about half a year, and then did physical rehabilitation and could still return to his original appearance.

"Your legs are fine, but they need some nutrition, and in addition, they need to prevent external evil from invading. After a while, we will go to the dock to invite a better doctor to change the medicine for you, change the medicine a few more times, and prescribe some tonics. We will keep it for a few days and become a vibrant hero again."

Qian Laosan's head injury is almost healed, but he has suffered a severe head injury and needs some rest time.

Several people were laughing and in a good mood when they heard this. Qian Laosan and Tian Laoqi even yelled to ask Lao Hei to buy some wine to celebrate! After instructing the two to rest well at home, Li Jing went out of the shack with Lao Hei and prepared to go to the dock to invite a doctor to come and change the medicine.

The west mountain is dusk and the sky is approaching dusk.

After leaving the shack and walking along the foot of the mountain, the front suddenly became clear, and suddenly there was a lively scene, like a city in a mirage. Just now, the dock was already lively, with many warehouses, shops, and restaurants, but compared with this one, it was still a lot worse than that.

At dusk, the jade street in front of me was along the foot of the mountain, with a winding coast, and a ten-mile long street. The street was ten feet wide, and was covered with bluestone slabs. On both sides of the street, shops and merchants were scattered in combs, and the rows of green banyan trees in front of the shop had already lit up.

Li Jing stood at this high place on the long street. From a distance, he looked like a Milky Way reflected in front of him.

How is this possible? No such prosperous scene was seen in Dengzhou City.

Lao Hei smiled knowingly when he saw Li Jing's expression. Generally speaking, people who saw this street for the first time would have such an expression, especially on the nights of this street, which was even more charming.

"General, this is the most lively and prosperous place on Shaman Island." Lao Hei pointed to Chang Street. "This street is called Tianjie. Tianjie started because of Phoenix Wharf, but Phoenix Wharf has also become the number one port on Shaman Island because of Tianjie. There are 999 shops and shops on Tianjie, and all kinds of businesses are included here, including everything. But the most are brothels, inns, taverns, teahouses, restaurants, gambling stalls, pawn shops, and then gold, silver and jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, tailors, grain shops, rice shops, butchers, meat shops, wine shops, etc.."

"This street at the foot of Phoenix Mountain is called Tianjie, and Shaman Island is also called the Fairy Mountain on the Sea. Does the general know how big the Daxie Island where the Daxie Fort is located? The two islands in the north and south are 20,000 acres in total, ten times the size of our Shaman Island. But the southern island of Daxie Fort is very prosperous, with only more than 20,000 people. Does the general know how much the annual population of Shaman Island is?"

"How many?" Li Jing was irritated.

"At least 30,000, like most caravans are now parked in the boat pond bay, the number of people on the island has increased a lot. If the sea storms occur in June, July, August and March, there will be more merchant ships coming here to shelter the wind, and the maximum number will reach 50,000. This is not only a paradise for sailors and crew members, but also a summer resort for many merchants and officials."

Li Jing thought, "But just that, I'm afraid the small Shaman Island cannot be so prosperous, right? Whether it is the Great Xie Fort, the North and South Chang Islands or the Montenegro Fort, any one of them can replace it. I guess there are some other reasons why Shaman Island can have its prosperity today?"

Qiu Shengong looked at Li Jing in surprise, his eyes full of admiration. He nodded and said, "The general is right, because Shaman Island is also the center of northern smuggling transactions jointly opened up by all forces!"
