Chapter 217 Marketplace
After drinking a sip of wine, Lin Xi couldn't help but praise: "This wine is good! And it's iced with ice water. It's really delicious in the world!"
Li Di laughed when he heard this: "Look, as soon as the sky was dark, how many guests were there? If it weren't for the good things here, how could it attract people? Now, in Xiangyang City, besides those big restaurants, the business here is the best.
When I first opened, there was only this family of fireworks. In just a few months, how many stores have been opened around? They all learned here!"
The lights started to lit up. Lin Xi looked up and saw that on the banks of the Han River, there were stores lined up, and I don’t know how many of them were.
The servant picked up a wooden plate, went to the table, and placed the cold dishes he ordered on the table. He said, "You should eat it first, the roasted and fried ones will come soon!"
After saying that, he quickly walked away with the wooden plate.
Lin Xi looked at the servant's back and said, "It looks like pickled here, and the food is served quickly. And the servant looks very neat."
Li Tang smiled and said, "This is the government's business! The wine and food are real, and the servant is diligent and tidy, so it is not comparable to other shops!"
After tasting a bite of shredded chicken, Lin Xi nodded: "The dishes here taste good. At home, I can't make this taste."
Li Tang said: "Eating is also a science. I heard that under Wang Guan's yamen, there are people who specialize in eating. Among the people who live with us, there are five or six people who do this. But they are not for observation.
The taste is to satisfy the taste of the people. The restaurants and food stalls opened by the government and the government are all studying there. Think about it, how can the taste be bad?”
Lin Xi nodded. Unexpectedly, the people spent so much energy on eating at the yamen. No wonder the restaurants and restaurants opened by the government dare not say that they taste the best in the world, but there is nothing bad to eat.
After eating for a while, the roasted and fried food came up. Li Tang gave Li Di a sheep waist, took one by himself, and said, "This is cheap, but it tastes so good that it tastes so good. It's really rare! It's a good thing here.
Master, baked fat and delicious!”
Seeing that there was no one with him, Lin Xi couldn't help but say, "Why are there just two? We obviously have three people, and one should be one!"
After hearing this, Li Tang laughed and said, "This thing is suitable for men to eat, what do women do when they eat it! There are frogs there, which are the most delicious, just eat them all. By the way, the chicken wings here are also roasted
tasty."
Lin Xi didn't know what it meant, but seeing Li Tang laughing a little despicable, he turned his head and ignored him.
Sheep waists were eaten in this era, but most of them appeared at high-end banquets. Ordinary taverns and ordinary farmers did not have the ability to pack up this thing. In places like Xiangyang, this thing is very cheap. Wang Xiaoli borrowed it.
Through experience in previous lives, I made this snack. In fact, many of the foods in the world of fireworks were proposed by Wang Xiaolie based on his memory and improved by the chefs.
It was getting dark and people slowly gathered together. For a moment, the Han River shore was crowded and very lively.
Lin Xi looked at the lights on the roadside and couldn't help but feel a little dazed. Everything here is very different from what I remembered before, as if I had arrived in a new world. The swaying lights and people chatting and laughing loudly made a look of people
Strange scene.
After eating, the three of them slowly drank the iced wine and blew the cool breeze from the river, which was extremely comfortable. In this era, there were too few such comfortable life.
Two young men and a woman came over and sat at a table next to her. The woman was tall and fat. After taking a step, her fat body shook three times. She was over 20 years old, but her face was not ugly.
Sitting down on the seat, a young man asked for a pot of wine and two big waists.
The woman smiled and said, "I heard that where to eat, what do you two single men need to do with your waist?"
A young man smiled and said, "Put it in place and keep it for later use. If your sister likes it, then--"
"Ph!" the woman spat and smiled.
Lin Xi heard it and realized why Li Tang and Li Di were eating their waists. He couldn't help but blush in the dark night. This kind of thing was strange to say in public. But he also knew that the people who came here were about it.
Things are not taboo.
The young man ordered another catfish, a few cold dishes, and a few hot dishes. He ordered the servant to serve the dishes and talk about the whole thing.
After listening for a while, Lin Xi briefly heard the identities of three people. The woman, who is now working in a spinning mill run by the government, seems to be a small leader. Two young men, one is moving goods at the dock, and the other seems to be in something.
Be a servant in the store.
As the three of them were talking, the two young men were obviously trying to please the woman. They told jokes from time to time, making the woman giggle. Their language was extremely vulgar and there was no shyness. The content of the chat turned to the affairs of men and women in just a few words.
If I hadn't known their identities, I would have thought they were doing something shameful. After a while, the food and drinks came up, and the three of them had a chat while eating, which was extremely enthusiastic.
Listening to such words, Lin Xi felt that she couldn't stay in this place and was restless there.
Li Tang said: "This catfish is about to be cold, why don't my niece taste it? The catfish here are collected and kept in the store for half a month, which is the most plump! And the master's skill is exquisite and it tastes really delicious!"
Lin Xi said: "The grass carp, carp and other things on the market are not expensive. Even the cramped bream can afford it. Why eat catfish? This fish looks scary. I heard that it grows in water and eats everything.
People are unhappy when they see it!"
Li Tang shook his head repeatedly: "You don't know, this fish is not easy to make. When you clean your home, it's hard to remove a fishy smell. Only here is cleaned up very clean and roasted with charcoal fire, which is the most delicious."
Li Di said: "The first roasted catfish was made first in this world, and it soon attracted many people to eat it. Most of the restaurants opened around learned the method here. The best ones are now eaten by the Li family there.
Shop. Next time we come, we will eat there."
Lin Xi curled his lips. No matter what the two of them said, they just didn't eat it.
The three people there were delicious food. While they kept eating, they were talking about the recent casual affairs in Xiangyang. It was nothing more than that after Wang Xiao arrived in Xiangyang, he first came to Shanzhou and then Jingmen. The two big wins were inspiring. Now he is also very excited.
The bank was opened, and the market was prosperous. Then there were all kinds of chores in their work. Today, there were too many jobs at the dock, and the servants there got rewards from customers, and how good the business in the women's yarn field was.
Lin Xi listened while listening to them talking about their work and life, and gradually felt something interesting. The daily lives of these lower-class people are actually rich and colorful. There may be many shortcomings, but they are the most real life. Lin Xi suddenly
I understand a little why Wang Xiaolie gave this place a famous fireworks on earth. Yes, this boring and interesting life is the world.
At this moment, two more people sat on the other side of Lin Xi and the others. They had just sat down and turned to see two women on the other side, and their eyes lit up. One said, "Look over there, Qin Sanlang and Meng Bao
He invited Xi Sanlang to dinner again. In the past few days, we have come to drink and we see them almost every time. I can’t figure out how Xi Sanniang is as fat as a pig, how do the two of them fall in love with her?"
Another said: "What's the point of getting fat? Xi Sanniang is a small leader in the shaved farm. She has a salary of eight guan per month! Qin Sanlang can make three guan per month by moving goods at the wharf? Not to mention Meng Bao
Now, it’s not easy to make two coins a month as a servant!”
The previous one couldn't help but sigh: "What kind of world is this? Xi Sanniang promised someone, but her husband left without her. Speaking of which, she was a widow. Such a widow just earned a few more money,
Someone is so flattering!"
Another sneered: "How many cents a month is worth, I don't know how much more meat you eat! What's the point of getting fat? Meat is eaten into your own mouth!"
Two people were talking about the three people, one by one, one by one. One was angry, the other took it for granted.
After hearing this, Lin Xi learned about the identities of the three people over there. When he turned to look at them, he felt a different feeling. Yes, when did the world become like this? That woman is so fat and she has promised her that she has ever promised her.
Just because a man earns eight coins a month, two young and smart young people are so flattering. When a man and a woman get married, they need the fate of their parents and the words of the matchmaker, but now young people come together to talk to themselves.
Is this good? The rules passed down will be destroyed in a long time. If there is no rules in a world, many things will make people at a loss. Then I think, isn't this good? When a man and a woman get married, they are the ones who are together.
Of course, life is best for the person you like. In the next few decades, this couple will have the rest of their lives.
A moon hangs in the sky, like a gem, reflecting the quiet sky. On the Han River, there are pleasure boats floating, and the laughter of guests comes out with the sound of silk and bamboo. On the banks of the Han River, one cup after another is lit
The lights. People are blowing the wind and talking and laughing.
Everything in Xiangyang Prefecture changes too quickly. In just one or two years, it seems that the world has changed. Not only is the market prosperous, but people's lives have stabilized. With these changes, people's thoughts are also changing. This is better or not
OK, who can tell it clearly?
