Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 1017 Fireworks

In the next two days, Lu Yihao, Li Guang and Zeng Mao visited several peony gardens. Unfortunately, it was still early, so not many flowers bloomed, and most of them were still flowers.

On this day, Lu Xihao said to the two of them: "Let's go to the north of the city today to see what the so-called fireworks in Luoyang look like."

Immediately, he took his entourage, took several carriages, crossed Huitong Bridge, and arrived near Jingxingfang, north of Luohe River. It was almost noon when we arrived. During lunch time in the factory, all the workers came out to eat. I saw a huge crowd of people, and the crowd was as far as the eye could see.

Lu Yihao was surprised: "So many people! In so many years, I have never seen any city so lively!"

Li Guangdao: "Chen Yuyi said that this is a textile factory, and there are many female workers in the factory. Look, sir, most of the people rushing here are women. It seems that what Chen Yuyi said is true. There are more male workers over there. Where shall we go? go."

Lu Yihao took a look and found that it was indeed what Li Guang said. Then, together with Li Guang and Zeng Mao, they headed to a place with more men.

After walking for a while, Lu Yihao said: "There are so many people now, let's find a place to eat. After dinner, there won't be so many people."

Looking around, Lu Yihao pointed to a restaurant with mushroom and chicken rice noodles and said: "This restaurant is clean, and I have never eaten mushroom and chicken rice noodles before. Come in and have a try."

After that, he stepped into the store.

I saw the diners gathered around the two women serving food in front of them, making a lot of noise and couldn't hear what they were saying.

Zeng Mao said: "How can Xiangfen survive in a place like this? Let's find another one."

Lu Yihao said: "It's okay. I can listen to the people's discussions and know how life is here."

The soldier stepped forward quickly, took a look at the meal the woman had packed, and came back and said to Lu Yihao: "My lord, the two women are just guarding different buckets. One is guarding mushrooms and chicken, and the other is guarding eggs. Green vegetables, different kinds of savouries, and queues at different women’s sides.”

Lu Yihao said: "I'll eat diced mushrooms and chicken. What do you two eat?"

After ordering three portions of rice noodles with mushrooms and chicken, the soldiers went to line up. Lu Yihao and the other three found a seat and sat down.

After looking at it for a while, Li Guang said: "This place is different from other places. The emphasis is on getting food out quickly and not wasting time. My husband, please see, apart from here, the food available outside is also cold tao, meat buns, pancakes and pickles. Even the rice is ready for takeout, so diners don’t have to wait too long.”

Lu Yihao looked out the window. There were stalls selling food next to each other, and what they sold was exactly what Li Guang said. It seems that factory workers have time to eat. After eating, they have to go back to the factory to work quickly and cannot afford to wait.

Lengtao is the jelly of later generations, but the jelly here is made more delicately. The store scoops the jelly into a bowl, scores it four or five times with a special knife, cuts it into several pieces, then pours the seasoning on it, and a bowl of cold jelly is ready.

After a while, the soldiers brought up the ordered rice noodles with mushrooms and chicken and placed them in front of Lu Yihao. Being smart, I brought vinegar and soy sauce.

Lu Yihao imitated others and stirred it a few times before picking up a chopstick and putting it in his mouth. Surprised: "It tastes really good! Try it, try it. Even though it's a small shop, it still tastes really good."

After saying that, he took a few bites and smacked his lips.

Li Guang and Zeng Mao both took a few bites and nodded together. This kind of small shop opened next to many food stalls really has a good idea. Although it looks simple, the smell is not simple. There is a peculiar aroma right at the entrance, which whets your appetite. Little did he know that this kind of snack bar has its own secrets. The food is not about color, flavor or flavor at all. What is wanted is simple, direct and attractive. There won't be any aftertaste after eating it, nor will it make you miss it, it just tastes delicious in the mouth.

After finishing the rice noodles in a few mouthfuls, Lu Yihao said: "Eating this bowl of chicken rice noodles today will make this trip in vain."

Looking up, the crowded crowd had begun to disperse slowly, and there were only twos and threes of pedestrians on the street.

Li Guangdao: "It is indeed a business for factory workers. When the time comes, the crowd disperses quickly."

Lu Yihao said: "This is their business experience. Control your time and do business for half an hour."

Li Guangdao: "How can the smoke from the fireworks mentioned by Chen Yuyi be enough in just half an hour? The rest of the time, there are people walking in twos and threes. Where does the smoke from the fireworks come from?"

Lu Yihao said: "Let's go out for a walk. Only by taking a closer look can we know the truth."

The three people stood up and left the shop, looking at the surrounding shops being cleaned. After just half an hour of business, the ground was in a mess. If the shop is not cleaned quickly, there will soon be no place to stay.

After walking for a while, Lu Yihao looked back at the way he came and said with emotion: "The whole street is as clean as new again. This is where the management efforts were revealed. Just now, the whole street was bustling with people and the ground was a mess. In the blink of an eye, it was clean. As new, the management of this street is not simple.”

As he spoke, Lu Yihao slowly stepped forward, feeling filled with emotion.

Under the rule of the Xuanfu Division, it is not important for the entire street to be as clean as new. When the entire street is in a mess, it is only when it is restored to cleanliness that it is as new as new. This requires treating the pedestrians on the street as a whole, and uniting the shops on both sides of the street and the vendors on the street into a whole. How difficult it is to unite the hawkers on the street, a group of people with half a row of houses, into a whole.

It can be seen from this little incident that Xuanfusi did this because he really regarded the people here as his own.

After walking for a long time and seeing only twos and threes of pedestrians on the street, Lu Yihao found a teahouse and sat down. The first is to take a rest, and the second is to listen to what the people in the teahouse say and learn about their lives.

There were exactly three porters around. One person said: "What do you deserve! Several boats came in the Luohe River today, all carrying cotton. A bale of cotton weighs more than 200 kilograms. The owner of the boat only gave ten cents per bale of cotton. What do you deserve!"

Another person said: "A bale of cotton costs ten cents, which is not bad. If you unload twenty bales a day, don't you have two hundred cents?"

The person from before said: "You have a beautiful idea! If you unload twenty bales of cotton a day, will your body still need it? Let me tell you, the owner of the boat waited at the dock for a long time, and no one helped to unload it. It continued until it reached one It took twenty coins to wrap it up, and only then did Sun Sanlang and a few other desperate people go up and unload it for him!"

The other two people said: "Hey, Sun Sanyang is really desperate for his life!"

After saying that, the three people shook their heads together, and this Sun Sanlang was called Qu.

After taking a sip of wine, one of them said: "Or you can learn from Song Silang. That man just has a good skin, does he really have any ability? With his good skin, he fascinated the spinning workshop Third Sister Xi, isn’t she just as popular now as a spicy drinker?”
