Chapter 2814 Daya Village ()

The fish fillets were fragrant, golden in color and soft in texture, and there was no sign of being mushy at all. It was far different from the dark grilled dried fish in my memory.

"It tastes good!" Tan Shuangxi praised, "I have eaten fish fillets before, and most of them were dry, not so loose..."

"This is an Australian method, using a machine to bake fish fillets." The village chief said, "The Chen family built a factory and bought several machines to bake fish fillets."

"Machine? The Chen family is so rich?!" Tan Shuangxi was surprised. Purchasing a new fishing boat is a considerable sum of money, let alone machinery.

"Relying on loans. One penny of interest per year." The village chief's face was red. "Heaven and Earth will provide guarantees, otherwise his family would not even be able to pay off the loan for the fishing boat!"

"This Heaven and Earth Society is simply closer than his father."

"What are you saying? Does his father have so much money?!" the village chief said, "The fish fillets sell well, and the profit is more than ten times higher than selling fish. Dozens of boxes of grilled fish fillets are delivered every day High, and then repackaged and sold to the mainland and Southeast Asia... It is said that the red-haired and Japanese emperors could not even eat without grilled fish fillets..."

Everyone laughed with an expression of "Just brag." The village accountant laughed and said: "This is a big deal. The Chen family's goods are processed for Tiandihui, and we don't know who they will sell them to after packaging." But this processing business is already big enough. More than half of the women in the village are now doing odd jobs in his factory. The daily wages alone cost a lot of money, tsk tsk..."

The resident police officer also joined in with a taste of Shandong news: "When I first came to Qiongzhou, I also ate the fish fillet in the village, and it is not the same thing as what it is now. I think this taste is actually more like the taste of my hometown. , my hometown is called Jiao'ao, it's a small place. We also have grilled fish, and the taste is similar to this. Maybe the leader who made this machine is also from Shandong. "

Tan Shuangxi had read a report in Lingao Times, which seemed to be called "Amazing Grilled Fish Fillets". It also said that Lingao's grilled fish fillets were sold in a big market, so it seems that it was Daya Village. Thinking that the Chen family, a humble fisherman family, was now doing such a big business - he originally thought that the Ma Shi family's industry was big enough, but when he saw that there were mountains beyond the mountains, there were people beyond the people. It is understandable that the Chen family does not want their children to go out to serve as soldiers.

Looking at the young people who were being urged to drink and eat at the main table, he felt more and more upset. Taking the opportunity of toasting, he sat next to the young man who replaced Chen Kecai to join the army. After chatting for a while, he learned that this young man had just come from the mainland in the past year. After being assigned to Daya Village, he worked as a fisherman on the Chen family's fishing boat.

"You're not a fisherman?" Tan Shuangxi was a little surprised, "Are you able to do it?"

"I always got seasick at first, but then I got used to it," the young man said nonchalantly. "Working on a fishing boat is hard, but you can earn several times more money than working as a long-term laborer. After a few years of hard work, you can earn enough to buy land and build a house. ”

"Where is your hometown?"

"Renqiu County, Hejian Prefecture, North Zhili Province."

Tan Shuangxi didn't know where Renqiu County in Hejian Prefecture was at all, but he benefited from the education of the army. He knew that Beizhili was where the capital of the Ming Dynasty was located.

"Beizhili, isn't that where we are in the capital..."

"We still have a long way to go before the capital." The young man said and poured a full bottle of wine for Tan Shuangxi. "Squad leader, please drink..."

Tan Shuangxi saw that he was good at talking and was not the honest person he expected from Rimuna, so he asked: "Looking at you, you don't farm in your hometown, right? How did you come to Lingao?" "Isn't it because of the military disaster? "The young man said helplessly, "To be honest, our hometown is better than here. The terrain is flat and there are not as many hills as here. There is a lot of land for farming and there are many rivers. As long as it is not a drought, there is no problem. We can make do with water farming. The cucumbers and radishes we have there are very delicious, especially the cucumbers with thorny tops and a sweet crunch when you bite them. Although my family is a tenant farmer, my father is good at pickling. During the off-season, I would go to Baoding Prefecture to help people with pickling vegetables. The money I earned could help me pay the rent. My boss also liked my dad’s pickled vegetables and sent hundreds of kilograms of pickled vegetables to his family every year, even though he didn’t have a penny. , but my boss can take care of me when something happens, so my life is pretty good.

"It didn't happen later. In the seventh year of Chongzhen, the Tatars entered the customs, which shocked the whole province. Before the Tatars arrived, we suffered a military disaster. The county magistrate and his servants first asked each family to "donate food" and said they would invite officers and soldiers. After the officers and soldiers arrived, they immediately started to rob us, saying that we couldn’t leave it to the Tatars. My father got the news when he was delivering food to his employer, and he didn’t have time to come back to take us into the city. Fortunately, he knew that there was someone who had been stolen outside the village. The ancient tombs secretly hid food in them, so that we did not starve to death. Those who did not hide the food were starved to death later, and no one dared to help, because helping means that your family is still rich in food, and the whole village. With so many people hungry, everything could be robbed.

"Then the Tatars came. Our whole family hid in the ancient tomb for several days and did not dare to come out. When we came out, we saw that the village was gone, all the houses were burned, and there were many corpses in the village, mostly women, who had been killed. The girl from Lao Wang's family next door, who was only ten years old, died in the yard. She was naked and wasted. The blood trail was dragged from the main room to the yard. I don't know how long she had been crawling before she died. , we didn’t dare to collect the corpses, fearing that the Tatars would come back and find that there were still people alive, so we threw all the nearby corpses into the well and tore down a wall to bury them.

"Later I found out that being killed by the Tatars on the spot was considered a clean death. The people who were captured were even worse. If they couldn't walk, they would be stabbed. A lot of people died of illness on the road without eating or drinking, and they died of exhaustion as coolies working as oxen and horses to transport things. A group of people. When they encountered the siege, they were rushed to the battlefield by the Tatars. The officers and soldiers who defended the city came over with their cannons and arrows, killing them one by one. If you didn't leave, the Tatars would kill them one by one with their swords. The officers and soldiers killed them, and the women who were captured... were even worse! Do you know what the Tatars called them? Shengkou means "cattle". In fact, they are not even as good as animals.

"My father said that we can't stay here any longer. He took the whole family to the south, thinking that it would be peaceful after crossing the Yellow River. The Tatars would never chase them across the Yellow River. But we didn't have to worry about it until we reached the Yellow River. My mother died too. We had no food for a long time. We had to beg for food and we made it to Kaifeng. There were too many refugees, and the defenders refused to let them enter the city. They shot many of them to death, including my father. There was a huge chaos. I got separated from my family. I followed the crowd and continued walking south, thinking that I would have a way to survive when I reached Jiangnan, and then I came to Lingao in a daze."

This kind of experience was nothing to Tan Shuangxi - it was too common. Nine out of ten people in the platoon had such experiences.

"After finally settling down, why do you want to be a soldier again?" Tan Shuangxi couldn't help but ask, "I think being a fisherman is too hard."

"This little bit of hard work is nothing," the fisherman said. "In terms of the ability to endure hardship, no one is as good at farming as we are. It's nice here, and I'd be happy to live here for the rest of my life. But I can't let go of my younger brothers and sisters..." "At this point, his voice deepened, "After my father was hit by an arrow, he took my hand and said that I was the eldest son and had to take care of the family affairs, but now I am the only one left..."

He rubbed his eyes: "When I arrived in Lingao, my life was pretty good. But I couldn't let go of my family - I also knew that there was a high probability that they would all die, but I still had a thought: maybe They are still alive. Even if they work as slaves, maids, or wives, they still have a life left... I just thought about whether I could find them all, or if I couldn't find one, I could bring them back. Living a good life can be regarded as having a family..."

"But I was alone and weak. I was lucky enough to escape with my life. How dare I go back to the mainland? I heard from people who came later that Henan and Beizhi are in even more chaos now. So this time the Chen family asked me if I wanted to be a soldier, and I immediately agreed. If I join the army, I can follow the team to find my relatives! "

Tan Shuangxi looked at the slightly excited young man and didn't know what to say for a moment. I had no choice but to pat him on the shoulder.

The drunken village chief here hooked Zhang Laicai's neck and muttered vaguely: "Brothers, you guys are here this time. We have lost a man in the village... A team of people will come in a few days and we will send another one." A few notices, and a few men missing.”

Before Zhang Lai could react, the resident policeman who was drinking with him slammed his wine glass on the table, "Fu Laoer, you bitch, you forget about me when your life is over, you damn know you How did you get the big house you live in and the duck farm you live in? You earned it yourself, but we also fought it down in Chengmai under a hail of bullets. I can't kill you, you idiot." After saying this, he grabbed Cun. Long skirt.

The village chief wasn't angry at all. He slapped the policeman on the neck with his backhand and continued to murmur: "Old Xie! Old Xie! What do you know... Li Haoze, that's the best guy in the village. Every time he sees me They are all very polite, educated, and good-looking. I want to marry my daughter to him - but our daughter is not educated and feels that she cannot reach a high level. I think that a young man like him will have a bright future if he goes to a military academy. Maybe he will become a high-ranking cadre in the future! Look, you have become a police officer after only one year. Then, two people came to tell me how big a cadre he would be if he became an officer! , He is gone...let alone his sister, I am also sad, right?" As he spoke, his eyes turned red, "If you say no, it will be gone. Who are you in this village? It's just a bachelor with no one at home. As long as there are relatives in the village, I don't dare to look at them! Yes!" I led everyone to send them away by beating gongs and drums..."

　The actual title should be Daya Village (V).
