Lu Ming

Chapter 485 Female Heroes

"Quick, look at this, look at this!"

"Hey, look at that, look at that!"

Chikan Avenue, at the intersection, Mei Fuxi is leading two attendants, standing there like other country bumpkins who have just arrived in Guizhou, looking left and right, dazzled by the cool dresses of young women all over the street.

No wonder the young people's jaws dropped.In the past in Tianjin, they mostly saw muddy calves of rural women, and forearms that were accidentally exposed in summer. Have they ever seen such an exotic style in Yizhou?

Although they had changed into olive green thin military uniforms suitable for Tainan’s climate before they left the camp, they were no different from other soldiers walking on the street, but just looking at the three drooling pig statues immediately exposed their country bumpkin attributes.

"Hey, isn't the lady under the command of the commander-in-chief too comfortable?"

"I'm afraid it's the legacy of the islanders?"

Young Master Mei, who claims to be well-informed, is not sure about the situation now.He couldn't deduce whether the coolness of the street was inherited from the customs of the aborigines on this island or brought by Marshal Cao.

"Okay, don't look at evil! Look at you two, what's the matter?"

After looking at the beauties for a long time, Young Master Mei had drunk ink anyway, and finally remembered not to see evil, and hurried away with his servants.

But leave and leave, the girl still has to see.

Today's task is to go shopping on the street, so they continued to look around happily while walking around the various high-end shops on Chikan Avenue.

After shopping all morning, Meifuxi returned with a full load of bags.But this time he felt cheated - many of the local products he bought in Shanghai Port before were from Yizhou, or they were knockoffs here.

Still the old way, hand over all the goods to the consignment department.This time, he described in detail the origin of these goods in the letter, and then suggested that if the old man was free, he should come to Yizhou to have a look for himself, there are many business opportunities here.

After completing the procurement task, Master Mei took his attendants to the toothbrush festival.This time I chose a hot pot restaurant with a novel way of eating. On the recommendation of the waiter, the young master ordered tomato, red oil, three delicacies, and mushroom soup with four grids, and then ordered a bunch of shabu-shabu dishes.

Travelers are not yet able to use chemical fertilizers to ripen vegetables, nor are they able to make various chemical seasonings, so the tomato soup has a natural sour taste, and the three delicacies soup base is also made from natural ingredients.

Most of the shabu-shabu is seafood, because seafood is the cheapest here.Guests from the north ate a variety of seafood including lobster grouper and large yellow croaker.

The fresh and spicy taste makes diners who eat hot pot for the first time very addicted, sweating and appetizing.Young people can eat it, so staples such as venison, noodles and sesame biscuits were added later.

This means that Master Mei is not short of money—noodles and pot knuckles are common in Tianjin, but they are precious ingredients in Tainan, because flour is transported from the north of the Yangtze River, and the price is high in small quantities, and ordinary people cannot afford it.

Here I want to talk about Taiwanese wheat.

In the early days, Taiwanese did not eat noodles. For thousands of years, local people have eaten rice.As a result, after a large number of rout soldiers flooded in that year, the social conditions for eating pasta first became available.Then just at that time, the US emperor aided a large amount of unsalable flour, so braised beef noodles became popular in the whole region from this point on.

At the same time, Taichung, Taipei and other places have also started the history of growing wheat. Although not all islands can grow wheat, wheat can be grown in some places, and the yield is not low.

Later, due to industrial structure problems, Taiwan began to export high-value fruits, reduce farmland, and import flour, so wheat cultivation once disappeared.

After the 21st century, due to unsalable fruits caused by irregular economic crises, local farmers began to try to grow wheat again to increase their food self-sufficiency.

Due to the limitation of climate and environment, Taiwan can only grow highly spring-sowed wheat varieties in winter, so it cannot be grown in Tainan, and it must be planted on land with a temperature difference between the central and northern parts.

In short, wheat can be grown in Taiwan, and the yield is not low after planting.

But right now the time travelers can't plant this.

Taichung is now dominated by savage malaria and primeval forests, and Taipei is the same and worse, it rains all year round.At the moment, Crossover has only set up the ore industry in Taipei, and it is impossible to consider opening up wasteland to grow wheat—the price paid for two mouthfuls of noodles is really too high.

So for a long time to come, everyone who wants to eat beef noodles will still have to rely on imported flour.

This is also the only food crop that has been imported from Daming since this year: Since a large number of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corns have matured, this side no longer buys rice from Daming, and the saved empty space is used to accommodate people.

After eating hot pot, Mei Fuxi and their happy day continued.Chikan District is not something that can be visited in one day. The commercial street, wharf, government affairs hall, Taijiang viewing yacht, and the most lively night market with colorful lights at night, make the Ming people linger and forget to return, and say that the trip is worthwhile.

Early the next morning, Mei Fuxi went to the kiln area to look at the factory.

When he was in the north, he had heard many general descriptions of the factory from different sources.The speaker was always mixed with some interjections at that time, and there was such a taste of "you are not a hero if you don't reach the Great Wall".

It's finally here today, why don't you hurry up and see it?
The result was completely different from what was expected.Ming people's concept of workshops, even if they have heard the news beforehand, what comes to mind is actually the picture of thousands of craftsmen working together.

As a result, after coming to the real factory, the ice-cooled steel assembly line with huge power is bound to have a huge impact on the visitors.

Meifuxi and the others are no exception.

The sledgehammer roared, the slag shot out, and the red-hot steel block was flattened and rounded like dough. This kind of scene made the young people's blood boil.

In addition to watching the excitement, Mei Fuxi also carefully observed those dizzying production lines.

It is said that he is a general, but in fact, Master Mei, who was born in a merchant family, naturally would not despise the skills of a hundred craftsmen.So when he roughly estimated the production capacity of the assembly line, the young master's first reaction was that this wave was stable. It seemed that the Mei family was betting on the right treasure by tying the handsome man.

Different from the argument that "the virtuous live in" that scholars are used to talking about, what May Fuxi regards as his standard is the truth that "the rich is the master".

If there is money, there will be soldiers, there will be armor and food, there will be heroes and advisers to vote, and "the strong soldiers and horses will live there."On this point, Young Master Mei of the Merchant's Family firmly believed in it.

And Marshal Cao is no longer a matter of being rich.Sitting on so many magical skills, I can't complain that wherever I go, I look like a rich man, full of soldiers and horses, and I am completely different from those beggar soldiers and horses of the court.

Unlike the two silly followers, who also had a smile on their face when they came out of the kiln industrial base, Master Mei had a confident smile.

In this way, the three of them danced and talked about the mechanism ironware, while walking through the boulevard leading from the kiln area to Chikan, preparing to go to the beautiful Xiehu area in the distance to see the natural scenery that is not available in the north.

The next moment, trouble came.

"stop!"

With a sweet shout, the three of Young Master Mei just crossed the road when they were surrounded by four or five girls!
These girls were originally sitting in the gazebo by the road and playing around, but for some reason, when the leader saw Young Master Mei, he yelled and stopped the trio.

Young Master Mei was dumbfounded.

Although his previous occupation was a young hero, but that was a high-profile heroic route, and it has nothing to do with the street tigers who talk to girls on the street.So Mei Shaoxia actually doesn't have much experience in dealing with strange women, let alone this kind of situation that he never expected. In Daming, young girls would walk around when they saw him like this. Surrounded like this?

The other two attendants were not much better.They looked at the young lady who surrounded them in horror, at a loss, not knowing how to deal with this strange situation.The only thing left in my mind is the regulations before going out-no flirting with women.But the regulations didn't tell them what to do if they were molested by a girl?
The trio stood there dumbfounded and dumbfounded, as if they didn't know where to put their hands and feet.Unexpectedly, the next moment, one of the girls who had been jumping up and down couldn't help it, and laughed.

With this smile, the tense atmosphere disappeared, and a group of people burst into laughter.

Then Master Mei and the three were even more dumbfounded.

The one who took the lead among the girls was a round face with a ball head, and it was this young master Mei who stopped her with a coquettish drink just now.

This girl has a pretty face, pink complexion, wearing a light yellow shirt with a knot at the hem.The legs are denim cropped pants, revealing healthy wheat-colored skin, and the whole body is full of youthful flavor.

In this short time, Wanzitou had put his hands behind his back, walked around Master Mei with a smile on his face, and finally walked up to him, raised his head and asked in Mandarin with a Wu Nong accent: "Big man, where did you come from?" ?”

Mei Fuxi has been able to wield knives since she was a child, and she is not short of nutrition, so she has a height of 1.73, which is a proper big man in the eyes of wise people.

Having been puzzled just now, and being ridiculed by these girls for no reason, Master Mei's head was about to break out in cold sweat.Hearing the girl's question now, he immediately relaxed a lot.However, when the eyes met at the next moment, Young Master Mei blushed inexplicably: "Oh, Xiaosheng. The next one, oh, from Tianjin."

Young Master Mei's incoherent reply immediately drew a chuckle.

"Tianjin? Where is Tianjin?" The girl blinked her big eyes a few times.

"Oh, this, thousands of miles north of Tianjin, near the capital."

"It's so far away!" Seeing Mei Fuxi's still puzzled expression, the next moment, the girl smiled and said to Young Master Mei: "Don't worry about it. Even if you come from Tianjin, you have to pay tolls. Big man, this mountain belongs to me." Open, this tree is mine!"

"Ah!" Mei Fuxi was shocked, he looked around at the flat coastline: "Is there a mountain here?"
