Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 278 Marketplace
After taking a sip of the wine, Lin Xi couldn't help but praised: "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, how many customers are there as soon as it gets dark? If it weren't for the good things here, how could it attract people? Now in Xiangyang City, apart from those big restaurants, the business here is the best .When it was first opened, there was only one family, Fireworks. It’s only been a few months. How many stores have opened around? They all learned from here!”

The lights were lit up.Lin Xi looked up, and there were shops lined up on the banks of the Han River, and I don't know how many there were.

The boy brought a wooden tray, went to the table, and put the cold dishes on the table.Said: "Guests eat first, the grilled and fried ones will come soon!"

After speaking, he walked quickly with the wooden plate.

Lin Xi looked at the boy's back, and said: "It looks pickled here, but the food is served quickly. And the boy looks very neat."

Li Tang said with a smile: "This is the business of the government! The food and drinks are real, and the servants are diligent and tidy. How can other shops compare to it!"

After taking a bite of shredded chicken, Lin Xi nodded: "The dishes here are delicious. I can't make this taste at home."

Li Tangdao: "Eating is also a science. I heard people say that there are people who specialize in eating under the yamen where Wang observes. Among the people who live with us, there are five or six people who do this. But they are not for observation. It’s for the taste of the people, but to satisfy the tastes of the people. The big restaurants in the states and counties opened by the government, as well as this kind of food stalls, are all learned there. Think about it, can the taste be bad?”

Lin Xi nodded.Unexpectedly, it took so much energy for the people to eat in the Yamen.It's no wonder that the restaurants and restaurants opened by the government, even though they dare not say that they taste the best in the world, they are not unpalatable.

After eating for a while, the grilled and fried ones came up.Li Tang gave Li Di a mutton kidney, took one himself, and said, "It's cheap, but it tastes so oily, it's really rare and delicious! Thanks to the chef here, it's so fat and delicious!"

Seeing that there was no one of her own, Lin Xi couldn't help but said, "Why are there only two? There are obviously three of us, so there should be one for each of us!"

After hearing this, Li Tang laughed out loud.He said in his mouth: "This food is suitable for men to eat, what do women eat it for? There are frogs there, which are the most delicious. You can eat as much as you want. By the way, the chicken wings here are also delicious."

Lin Xi didn't know what it meant, but seeing Li Tang's obscene smile, she turned her head and didn't ask.

Lamb kidneys are eaten in this era, but they mostly appear in some high-end banquets.Ordinary taverns, as well as ordinary farmhouses, don't have the ability to clean up these things.In places like Xiangyang, this thing is very cheap.Wang Xiaolie borrowed the experience of his previous life to make this snack.In fact, many of the foods in the fireworks in the world were proposed by Wang Xiaolie from memory and improved by the chefs.

As it got dark, people gradually gathered, and for a while, the banks of the Han River were full of people, and it was very lively.

Lin Xi looked at the lights on the side of the road, feeling a little dazed.Everything here is quite different from what I remembered before, as if I have arrived in a new world.The flickering lights and people talking and laughing loudly make up a strange picture.

After eating for a while, the three of them slowly drank the chilled grape wine, blowing the cool wind from the river, feeling extremely comfortable.In this era, such a comfortable life is too rare.

Two young men and a woman came over and sat down at a nearby table.The woman was tall and fat, and when she took a step, the fat on her body would shake up and down three times. In his 20s, his face is not ugly.

Sitting down on the seat, a young man ordered a jug of wine and two big kidneys.

The woman smiled and said, "I heard that you can make up for what you eat, you two bachelors, what do you need kidneys for?"

A young man laughed and said, "Patch it up and save it for later use. If my sister likes it, then—"

"Bah!" The woman spat and smiled.

After hearing this, Lin Xi knew why Li Tang and Li Di were eating kidneys, and couldn't help but blush in the dark.It's weird to say something like this in public.But I also know that people who come here are not shy about this matter.

The young man ordered another piece of catfish, some cold dishes, and some hot dishes.Order the boy to serve the food and chat there.

After listening for a while, Lin Xi roughly recognized the identities of the three people.That woman, who is now working in a spinning mill run by the government, seems to be a small leader.Two young men, one was carrying goods at the pier, the other seemed to be a boy in some store.

The three of them were talking, and the two young men were clearly courting the woman.Tell a joke now and then to make the woman giggle.Their language is extremely vulgar and there is no taboo.The content of the chat turned to matters between men and women within a few sentences.If they didn't know their identities, they would have thought they were doing some shady business.After a while, the food and wine were served, and the three of them ate and chatted very enthusiastically.

Hearing such words, Lin Xi felt that this place could not wait any longer, and was restless there.

Li Tang said: "This catfish is going to be cold, why doesn't my niece have a taste? The catfish here are harvested and raised in the store for half a month, the most plump! And the master's craftsmanship is exquisite, it tastes really delicious!"

Lin Xi said: "Grass carp and carp are not expensive in the market, and even bream is affordable. Why do you eat catfish? This fish looks scary. I heard that it grows in water and eats anything. People are not happy watching it!"

Li Tang shook his head again and again: "You don't know, this fish is not easy to cook. It is always difficult to get rid of the fishy smell when you clean it up at home. Only here, it is very clean and grilled with charcoal fire. It is the most delicious."

Li Di said: "The grilled catfish was first made by fireworks in this world, and soon attracted many people to eat it. Most of the few restaurants around have learned the method here. The best one is now eaten by the Li family over there. Shop. Next time we come, let’s eat there.”

Lin Xi pouted.No matter what the two of them said, they just didn't eat.

The three people over there were enjoying themselves.While he couldn't stop eating, he chatted about the recent gossip in Xiangyang.It was nothing more than that after Wang Xiaoli arrived in Xiangyang, first in Shanzhou, then in Jingmen, the two victories were exciting.Now that banks have been opened again, the market has prospered a lot.Then there are all kinds of chores in the work of the three of them.There is a lot of work at the pier today, what kind of rewards did the boy over there get from the guests, and how is the business in the women's yarn factory.

Lin Xi was listening, listening to them talk about their respective work and life, and slowly felt something interesting.The daily life of these low-level people is actually rich and colorful, and there may be many deficiencies, but it is the most real life.Lin Xi suddenly understood why Wang Xiaolie named this place a worldly firework.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.The two of them just sat down, when they turned their heads and saw the two women on the other side, their eyes lit up.One said: "Look over there, Qin Sanlang and Meng Bao invited Xi Sanlang to dinner again. In the past few days, we came to drink and saw them almost every time. I don't understand, Xi Sanniang is as fat as a pig, and the two of them How to see her?"

The other said: "What's the point of being fat! Xi Sanniang is a small boss in the yarn factory, and she earns eight hundred dollars a month! Qin Sanlang carries goods at the dock, can he earn three dollars a month? Not to mention Meng Bao Now, as a servant, it’s not easy to earn twice a month!"

The former one couldn't help but sighed: "What kind of world is this! Xi Sanniang promised others, but she let go without her husband. Speaking of which, she is a widow's family. Such a widow just made a few more money, so she can't get married. Someone is so flattering!"

Another sneered: "I don't know how much meat I eat for a few dollars a month! What's the point of getting fatter? You eat the meat in your own mouth!"

The two of you said one sentence to the other, talking about the three of them there.One is indignant, the other takes it for granted.

After hearing this, Lin Xi knew the identities of the three people over there.Looking back at them again, I have a different feeling.Yes, when did the world become like this?That woman is so fat, and she once promised someone that two young and bright youngsters would be so flattering to her just because she made eight pennies a month.When a man and a woman get married, what they want is the order of their parents and the words of the matchmaker, but now young people get together to speak for themselves.

is this okay?The rules passed down will be completely destroyed in a short time.There are no rules in a world, and many things will make people feel at a loss.On second thought, isn't this bad?When a man and a woman get married, they live together. Of course, it is best to see the right person.In the next few decades, the couple will spend the rest of their lives.

A round of moon hangs in the sky like a jewel, reflecting the quiet sky.On the surface of the Hanshui River, there are painted boats floating, and the laughter of the guests is heard along with the sound of silk and bamboo.On the banks of the Han River, lamps are lit one by one.People are blowing the wind, talking and laughing.

Everything in Xiangyang Mansion has changed too fast, in just one or two years, it seems to have changed the world.Not only has the market prospered and people's lives have stabilized, but with these changes, people's thinking has also changed.Whether this change is good or not, who can tell?

Lin Xi looked at the moon in the sky, couldn't figure it out for a while, and was a little crazy.
