Cultivation of Immortals Begins with Drilling Wood To Make Fire

  Chapter 334 [Wharf]

  There are many kinds of food here, and the ingredients in the sea are even richer.

In addition, there is a repairing place for fishing boats next to it, so fishermen like to send some of the freshly harvested things to the back kitchen nearby, and take advantage of the freshness to sell them at a good price, leaving more time for themselves to repair their boats and fishing nets. Both sides are happy .

   And many diners have also recognized this point, and they will come here specially to taste fresh seafood, which makes the business here very hot. From the table of Fang Chang and Chen Yuan, looking around briefly, one can feel that the attendance rate is 80%, the hall is full of clinking cups and dishes, and all kinds of fragrances are wafting around.

  In front of the two of them, there were six or seven kinds of light fish on a white porcelain plate. According to the type, they were served with different vegetables and vegetables that are common here in winter: stewed, steamed, fried, fried, fried, and grilled. In addition, there is a plate of fried shrimp and boiled shrimp with condiments, a plate of garlic fried flower shells, fish maw soup, cold jellyfish, and crispy seaweed with pork belly.

  Although the scale here is limited, the means are not very rich, but the ingredients are rare, fresh and delicious. Like the diners around, Chen Yuan is very happy to eat.

  While talking with Fang Chang, he kept his hands on the table, and quickly ate and drank half full.

   Seeing this, Fang Chang let go of the speed a little bit, so there were not many movements in his hands, elegant and steady, but the dishes on the table decreased rapidly.

   Seeing this strange scene, Chen Yuan was dumbfounded for a few breaths, and then exclaimed:

   "Mr. Fang is really a god."

  At this time, two guys in the store came over, one of them was carrying the tray, and the other opened the way for the one carrying the tray, and moved the dishes on the table to make room.

   "Both guests, shark fin is here, please use it slowly."

   Then the shop assistant brought two bowls from the tray and placed them in front of Fang Chang and Chen Yuan.

  Fang Chang smiled at Chen Yuan:

   "This is a rare item. It was a coincidence that I didn't encounter it when I came last time. The shopkeeper said that it is because sea wolves are fierce and hard to catch, and they need to grow their hair for a long time to keep their shape, otherwise they will be difficult to chew.

   "Today is lucky, there happens to be shark fin to order, let's taste it and see what this rumored treasure really tastes like."

  The two of them moved their chopsticks together and picked up a taste from the bowl.

It’s just that this shark’s fin soup made Fang Chang a little disappointed. Although Gein used a lot of good seasonings in it, the taste of the ingredients themselves was average, similar to chewy vermicelli. Not low.

  Fang Chang shook his head, thinking that if he comes here next time, there is no need to choose this dish.

He smiled at Chen Yuan on the opposite side: "It seems that the taste is not as good as the rumors, maybe more people just eat this rarity and fame." Chen Yuan echoed, expressing his agreement, and then the two laughed together .

  After dinner, they said goodbye at the door.

  Chen Yuan said to Fang Chang:

   "Thank you Mr. Fang for your hospitality today. In the past few years, in order to chase the beautiful scenery of various places, all the money earned on the road has been used on the road. There is not much money left to spend on food and drink. Today is a big deal."

"However, the cuisines of various places are actually part of the scenery of the world. When I am more affluent in the future, I can consider writing the food characteristics of various places in the travel notes, so that people who read it in the future can experience various places without leaving home. Flavor."

  ...

  The official wharf of Chaoyun Port is very prosperous, and there are many ships with masts coming and going.

  The pier is very crowded, and due to the lack of adequate and orderly management, the accumulation of goods is a bit messy. Many people with pens and papers in their hands, calculate and calculate statistics.

   But on this pier, most of them are bag bearers.

   Some of them have been doing this job all year round, while others are just the people around them who come here to do part-time jobs during the slack season.

  After all, although it is tiring here, you can do it if you have the strength, and there is always no shortage of work. Compared with digging in the soil, the income is not bad. Even if you work part-time for a month or so, you can buy a few extra catties of meat and pull a few feet of cloth for the family at the end of the year, buy a rope clay doll for your children, and add quilts for your parents.

They carry rattan bags, go up and down, transport the goods from the ship, transport the supplies into the ship, or transport the goods from this yard, to the surrounding warehouses, or between the roadside carriages, according to the employer's instructions. Move around with orders, and get paid on a piece-by-piece basis from the foreman.

  However, the working people have a lot of wisdom, and they have invented many labor-saving tools, such as booms, chutes, and pulleys, which are widely used here. But often, these things will cause latecomers to be lowered by the employer-they will say that they can't use so much effort, and naturally they will not give the previous money.

   Fang Chang stood here, looked left and right, and immediately came up to greet him with good eyesight: "Sir, are you looking for a ship or a cargo?"

   "What about looking for a ship, and what about looking for goods?" Fang Chang asked casually after hearing the accusation.

   Seeing that Fang Chang was interested in this, the other party obviously became energetic:

"Hey, sir, you should know that our Chaoyun Port is the largest port hundreds of miles north and south. The number of ships passing by and the amount of goods collected and distributed every day can scare people to death. Therefore, coming here, And there are usually only two kinds of people dressed like you, either looking for a ship or looking for goods."

"Those who are looking for a ship often have goods in their hands and are going to find a buyer who has rented a space to sell them, or find a ship to ship elsewhere; those who are looking for goods come from other places by themselves and plan to buy a batch of goods here. Once transported back to the hometown, it will be a large amount of money as soon as it changes hands."

   "And many people who come here for other things will often switch to the latter on the way back. After all, the chance of losing money for this kind of thing is very low, safe and affordable."

  Fang Chang saw the other party's articulate, smiled and said:

   "I am neither the former nor the latter. I am alone. I have no goods and I am not going to buy them. I just want to find a ship to transport passengers and go to the East China Sea."

  Hearing Fang Chang's words, the man opposite him, who was wearing a small cap in green cotton and had a short stature, slapped his thigh suddenly and said:

"Then, Mr. is the third category, and there are quite a few of them. After all, no matter going south or north, taking a boat by sea is very fast. There are a few suitable boats here, do you think about it? The price is absolutely fair Good deal."

  Fang Chang smiled:

   "Since meeting is fate, please take me to have a look, as long as you leave for Donghai as soon as possible."

   "Guest officer, don't worry." The man patted his chest and assured, "Our boats here are big, strong and strong, not afraid of wind and waves, and the captain and sailors are also experienced experts all the year round. I guarantee you will be satisfied."

   "It's just that the guest officer doesn't consider bringing some goods? Buy a batch of goods, rent some space on our ship, and resell them in the East China Sea, and there will be a lot of profit."

  Fang Chang smiled and rejected him.
