Datang first village

What do poor people in Wajima eat?

Wang Ba studied it for a long time, and he almost invited people from the Datang Research Institute to come over. This is a wild vegetable mixed with something, and then it is a big lump.I ate the salty soup mixed with something that I didn't know.

Of the two rice balls given to these Japanese as an extra meal at night, these Japanese ate half of them at most, and kept the rest to take home.After inquiring, I found out that two rice balls like the Japanese had to eat for a day during the war.One meal per meal!

Because there was only one wharf, the delivery speed was too slow. After eating dry food for two days, the soldiers under Niu Ben began to complain. After running at sea for ten days, they finally reached the shore, but they were still eating dry food for the march.It's not that there is no fresh water here, and there are plenty of supplies on board, so let's let him have a meal anyway.

After this commotion, Wang Ba's subordinates followed suit with these things.

When they came to Datian City, they almost starved to death here. The Japanese people's meal is like feeding birds.

"Then let's finish the meal, I just happened to be hungry too!" Early in the morning, Wang Ba actually woke up from hunger. The Japanese didn't eat at night, and he chatted with Kazuo Ota and didn't go back to the boat, so he didn't eat either.

Water is easy to handle, and there are hundreds of Japanese serfs here to carry water.

No need for firewood at all, there are coal stoves on board.

In order not to interfere with the Japanese people's handling of the goods, the ships that docked at the port carried the cooks to the pier.

On the other side, there are thousands of Japanese people queuing up, a very formal contract, a contract from the Ministry of Criminal Justice of the Tang Dynasty, in duplicate.Each copy is a piece of paper, and the size is almost the size of **5.

With the contract, the family can receive one stone of rice every month.

For real rice, a bag is worth a stone, absolutely no fake.Because many Japanese people have also participated in the packaging, they are very clear about how much rice to pack.

The gong for starting work over there has already sounded, and the team here is starting to be a little chaotic.

They planned to press their fingerprints and let the family take the rice back, and then go to work.You know, if you work for a day, you will not only have four dumplings, but also five catties of rice.

"Work will start for an hour tonight." Wang Ba was very generous.

Wang Ba didn't care about the goods. On the contrary, these laborers were the treasures, and it was his task to bring them back to Datang.

Originally, none of the soldiers of the Tang Army did anything, but seeing more and more skinny guys sneaking in, the soldiers under Wang Ba began to pick people one by one.

Take a look at your teeth, stretch your arms, let you jump a few more times, and then you must be able to hold two stone meters to count.

Niu Ben was originally sitting on the pier waiting to eat, but after seeing this scene, he said to Wang Xuance who was sitting next to him also waiting to eat: "This feels weird, a bit like picking an animal."

"You'll get used to it after watching too much." Wang Xuance replied in a low voice.

Niu Ben didn't answer. Anyway, his father, Niu Jinda, was not very kind to the natives in Kuching. Although he had never been stingy about food, the dirty work, hard work, and tiring work were all done by the natives. The work of Datang people is mainly technical work, and there is almost no such thing as pure coolie in Nanyang.

"Do you have Xiangjun cakes on board?" Wang Xuance asked again suddenly.

The name of Xiangjun Cake sounds good, but in fact it is not a good thing.It is the slag left after squeezing the caramel, plus some spices, salt, sugar, and flour re-pressed biscuits. The only advantage is that this thing has a very long shelf life. It can be stored for half a year in the north and three years in Nanyang. months.

Every ship will have it. No one eats this food, but it is life-saving food at critical times.

No matter how daring a seagoer is, he would not dare to take less of this thing. There are at least ten barrels on each ship of [-] tons, and these ten barrels are enough to last for about a month.

"Yes, I have [-] barrels on a boat. I originally planned to sell [-] barrels to the Nanyang people as snacks. But this time, time was tight, and I set off after loading the rice, so I forgot about it. Originally planned, here When it’s over, sell some to the peninsula when Jeju Island supplies.”

"Success, leave two barrels for one boat and give me the rest!"

24 boats, one boat with eighteen barrels is 190 two barrels in total, the real weight of this barrel is two stones, that is to say, the total weight of these biscuits is 380 four stones, and the weight of each biscuit is two taels. 19 yuan worth of biscuits were removed from the boat.

Is this thing worth money?

Li Yuanxing, the King of Qin, only costs a penny for a catty of caramel, and this thing is scum.

Even with the addition of some spices, oil, salt, and sugar that was not squeezed very cleanly, the actual cost of this thing must be lower than the shelled rice.

The most important thing is that when the soldiers of Datang were not desperate for food, they would not easily eat biscuits.

A new notice was posted again, and the first batch of people who got on the boat would get five yuan of fragrant cakes at home.

"The people of Tang Dynasty are crazy, or they are simply too rich. Those biscuits are delicacies that the nobles like me have never tasted. It is too wasteful to give to those peasants." The lord of Jiangtian City shouted.

Kazuo Ota didn't speak, just pointed to those Tang Jun who were cooking.

"What do you mean, Your Excellency Datian!" City Lord Jiangtian didn't understand.

"The people in Tang Dynasty eat flour. I heard that in Chang'an City, such fine flour costs two renminbi per catty. Only high-quality fine flour can be turned into such special dough, so it must be more than two renminbi per catty." Ota Kazuo said very seriously, all the castellan turned their attention to the soldiers who were cooking.

Ramen, the standard fourteen button ramen (16384 pieces).

There is a clear water soup pot on one side, but on the other side, the contents of dozens of iron buckets are poured into the pot.When the water boils, the fragrance spreads for miles.

A bowl of noodle soup, with a few slices of radish, a handful of dried coriander, and a piece of beef, and then poured red chili oil on it, it is delicious enough without eating.

The sergeants of the Tang Dynasty did a lot of work and trained hard, and their appetite must not be underestimated.

What is the old bowl, the tradition of the old Qin people, the diameter of the bowl is one foot, and it is made of Yaozhou blue and white. The bowl of noodles is at least one catty and two taels of Datang's weight. The Datang sergeant squatted aside with one hand and ate with.

"Mr. Datian, have you eaten this morning?" Wang Ba smiled and walked towards the cauldron.

Ota Kazuo didn't eat, because it was about ten o'clock in the morning for breakfast, but this time the Japanese slave workers ate some rice balls, because they were going to work.

"A whole bowl!"

Kazuo Ota didn't refuse, but he definitely couldn't finish the sea bowl. There were also some small boats on the boat, five inches in diameter. In the words of the Tang soldiers, they were small bowls for women.

Four taels of noodles, a bowl of soup.

The Japanese city lords even loosened their belts, and they didn't need to wash the dishes, they had already licked them clean.

"Thank you, General Wang, for your hospitality!" Ota Kazuo said not badly.

Wang Ba laughed: "This is the face of the general, that's all, I have a chance to come to Datang to set a table." Wang Ba said the truth, Ota Kazuo just took it politely.

After another three days, all the rice was finally moved down.

Wang Ba left the rice in Datian City in a big way: "I'll give you the rice first."

Who would have thought that Ota Kazuo did not keep all of them, but distributed them to other city lords, and found a few guys who were obviously dressed as pirates, and gave them [-] shi meters calculated according to Japanese stones, and asked them to go to the direction of Kyoto to recruit people.One stone of rice per person, and one stone for recruiting ten people, and one stone per month.

Kazuo Ota strongly requested to go to Datang to have a look.

There were 24 boats, each of which was crowded with more than 1000 people, and a total of 3 people set off for Haizhou.

Haizhou is the location of Lianyungang in later generations. There is a military port there, and there is also a railway in Xuzhou that will be built directly here, and these Japanese laborers will start working here.

From Wa Island to Haizhou, the boat does not stop, and it is easy to get there in two days and one night.

Compared with those small wooden sailboats of the Japanese people, there is no way to compare them in terms of speed and safety.

Datang has already received people from the ship. A sixth-rank official from the Ministry of Industry, a seventh-rank captain from the Ministry of War, the local county magistrate, and several small officials are responsible for receiving these people.

Datang's port is much stronger than that of the Japanese. 24 ships docked at the same time, and most of the Japanese laborers who were seasick and dizzy were carried down by their own people.

"Men go to the left, women go to the right. Line up." Dozens of sergeants in military uniforms held bamboo sticks and shouted in a half-familiar Japanese language. This time there were 5000 Japanese female workers coming to Datang. It was quickly taken over by dozens of healthy women.

Ota Kazuo was just curious, so he followed to see what Tang wanted these people for?

Out of the pier, there is a fenced place where water is drawn from the river.The first team of 100 people was driven into the fence, and then they were asked to strip off all their clothes. Then someone took a big brush and directly brushed them with lime water, then brushed them with soapy water, and finally rinsed them with clean water.

Ota Kazuo watched carefully, all the clothes of these people were thrown into the fire and burned.

Most of the men had their heads shaved, and then each of them wore two gray-blue, but very beautiful clothes.

is it beautiful?These are the ordinary linen overalls worn by the lowest-level workers in the Tang Dynasty. Each person has two pieces, which can be washed and replaced.Then each person has a stainless steel bowl, five inches in size.Then there is a stainless steel water cup, and then a bamboo basket.

Ota Kazuo deliberately took a bamboo basket and opened it. There were two pairs of strong gloves and a pair of shoes inside.Then there was a bag of cakes that smelled very delicious, then there were a few pieces of candy, and there was something like a shoulder armor that I didn't know what it was made of.

The Japanese people went from the fear when they were asked to massage their bodies to wash their bodies, to the excitement after receiving the things.Dozens of people gathered around and discussed in Japanese language, and the work of washing other people's bodies was also taken over by a few smart Japanese, and then they called for the hands, washed the workers behind, and burned everyone's clothes .

It can be said that, except for people, everything Wajima brought over was burned.

The men all shaved their heads, and the women were given an extra headscarf, and they were required to wear headscarves as long as they were working! (To be continued.)
