Capital Datang

Chapter 534 Civilian Life

Li Zhi was sitting on a chair in the cafeteria, holding a bowl of rice in his left hand and chopsticks in his right hand, and he didn't know what to do, because in front of him was a piece of oily braised pork, and another piece of delicious fish soup, but Li Zhi's psychological shadow on Ghost Crying Island has not been completely eliminated. Although he can't vomit when he sees meat, he can't eat it no matter what. When he was in Li Yin's palace before, he only ate vegetarian dishes.

"Xiao Jiu, what are you doing in a daze, eat quickly, we have to load another eight cars tonight, if you don't eat enough, you won't have the strength to work!" Liu Tou, who was next to him, kindly reminded Li Zhi when he was in a daze.Li Zhi's pseudonym is Yang Jiu, and he is also the youngest among the crowd, so Liu Tou and the others are called Xiao Jiu.

"Oh... oh, good!" Li Zhi agreed helplessly. In fact, he is also very hungry now. He didn't eat enough in the morning. Meat and vegetarian, he only ate some vegetarian dishes and half a bowl of rice, but he had already digested it all after working all afternoon, and his stomach was empty.

Originally, Liu Tou was going to treat guests today, but when they were about to finish today's tasks, they suddenly received a notice from the factory, telling them to work overtime, eat dinner in the factory at night, and improve the lives of the workers. , I only made a dish of braised pork, and the amount for each person was enough, but this was not good news for Li Zhi.

Thinking that he would have to work in a while, and his stomach was so hungry, Li Yin sighed helplessly, holding back his nausea, and stretched out his chopsticks to grab a piece of fatty braised pork, but after working hard for a long time, he still didn't dare to do it.In the end, I had no choice but to eat dry rice, but I didn't eat a few bites.He was choked, and immediately picked up the fish soup in a hurry.Then he took a few sips before sending the meal down.Capital Datang 534

"Huh? This fish soup tastes good, but it's a bit fishy. It would be even better if we put some spirits to remove the fishy smell!" Li Zhi looked at the fish soup in his hand in surprise. A bowl of ordinary fish soup is so delicious!In fact, Li Zhi didn't know that it wasn't about the fish soup at all, and he was too hungry, so naturally everything he ate was delicious. If he had the courage to taste the braised pork, he would probably find it delicious.

"Xiao Jiu. If you don't eat your braised pork, don't waste it. Brother will take care of it for you!" Seeing that Li Zhi's portion of braised pork remained untouched, Hu Han next to him came over and said.When he was in Jizhou, he dreamed of eating meat every day. Now that he has been in Taiwan for half a year, he often eats meat, but his favorite food is this oily and greasy braised pork. In his words: This meat tastes satisfying and satisfying!

"Okay. Brother Hu, just take it!" Li Zhi also smiled.But as soon as he finished speaking, the bearded Da Qiang and the skinny bamboo pole came up to snatch it together with a smile on their faces. Hu Han yelled, "I asked Xiao Jiu for it first", but it was useless at all.In the end, the three of them snatched up a plate of braised pork in a few strokes, while Liu Tou looked at the brothers with a smile, as for Wang San who was with Li Zhi.But he just glanced at it coldly, then lowered his head to eat his own meal.

Although Li Zhi was very hungry.But he was educated by the court since he was a child, and he always eats slowly.Naturally, the speed was not much faster. After Liu Tou and the others had finished eating two bowls of rice, Li Zhi had only eaten half of a bowl, and at this time, the workers in the cafeteria were almost gone. Quite a few, the earlier you work, the earlier you can go home and sleep.

Li Zhi was also embarrassed to let Liu Tou and the others wait for him, so he had to put the rice in the bowl into his mouth in two or three mouthfuls, and then finished the fish soup in a few mouthfuls. Like Liu Tou and the others, he wiped the rice with his sleeve Wiping his mouth, he smiled and said, "Sorry for keeping you guys waiting for so long!"

But Liu Tou patted Li Zhi on the shoulder with a smile and did not speak. In fact, he could see that Li Zhi was definitely not from a poor family, but now he is working with them and eating their meals. If there is any difficulty, it is probably because of the poor family. If this is the case, they don't have to ask too much, otherwise, wouldn't it be like pouring salt on someone's wound?

Hu Han and the others’ views on Li Zhi and Liu Tou’s yiyàng all think that the other party should come to work in the factory because of the decline of his family. This also makes Hu Han and the others admire Li Zhi a little bit. After all, he is a pampered son since childhood It is very rare to be able to do this kind of hard work without complaining of suffering or tiredness on the first day.

The work at night was temporarily increased. Li Zhi and his team had to load eight trucks, which is not a lot, but everyone had worked for a day, so they dragged their tired bodies to work, and the speed was naturally not fast. Where to go, they didn't finish their work until Xu o'clock in the evening, that is, almost nine o'clock.

Li Zhi’s lunch and dinner were not good. Although he didn’t do much work in the evening, he already felt tired and hungry. At this time, Liu Tou said that it was still early, and he agreed to treat him in the afternoon. Why not Going outside for a few drinks now, Hu Han and the others naturally did not object. Although the body is very tired, it is very pleasant to drink a few drinks before going to bed.

The shipyard where Li Zhi and the others are located is called "Hengbo Shipyard". There are also some shipyards around the factory. In fact, this place has been designated by Li Yin alone, and plans to establish a shipbuilding similar to Dengzhou Shiptown. The base, but the development time is still short, and it is not on such a large scale for the time being.

In addition to the factories, there are also many restaurants and shops that rely on these factories for food. For example, next to the Hengbo Shipyard, there is a short street with restaurants of all sizes on both sides, known as a food street. .In fact, the food here is not very delicious. After all, most of the people who come here to eat are workers. It depends on everyone's taste.

Keelung is a city that never sleeps. From the first day of its establishment, there has been no curfew here. In fact, not only Keelung, but all cities on Taiwan Island have no curfew.Although the shipyard is on the outskirts of the city, because there are many factories and many workers work overtime, the shops here do not close until late at night, which is the busiest time.

Li Zhi and the others came out of the factory gate, and then turned to the food street on the left. As soon as they entered here, everyone felt a rush of heat. The restaurants on both sides of the street were brightly lit, and most of the people who came in and out were dressed. Workers in short jackets, and occasionally groups of drunks stumbled past on the street.

Li Zhi grew up in the deep palace, even if he had time to go out, he had to go back before the palace gates were closed. In addition, Chang'an had always enforced a curfew, so it was the first time for Li Zhi to see such a lively scene at night. For a while, he just looked around, forgetting even the tiredness on his body.

Liu Tou and the others were obviously very familiar with this place. While greeting the familiar workers passing by, they introduced the restaurants on both sides to Li Zhi, telling him which restaurant was the most affordable, which restaurant made the best food, and what other restaurants were there? The proprietress of the restaurant is the most beautiful and so on, all these are "messy" and trivial news, but Li Zhi listened with great interest, because he has gradually felt the little pleasures of ordinary people's life.

The group of them walked a few steps in the food street, and then entered a store called "Lao Wang Restaurant". Li Zhi and the others found a table in the corner and sat down, then an old man with gray hair in a white jacket ran up to say hello: "Liu Tou, what do you want to eat today?"

"Old Wang, don't be in a hurry to eat. This is our new Xiaojiu. I won't come to you often in the future. You should get to know him first!" Liu Tou pushed Li Zhi, and then introduced Li Zhi, "Xiaojiu, this is the shopkeeper and clerk of this shop. We call him Lao Wang. His cooking skills are among the best on this street. If you get hungry, come here to eat!"

After hearing this, Li Zhi immediately smiled and said, "From now on, please take care of Mr. Wang!"

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it, Xiaojiu, you should just yàng with other people, just call me Old Wang!" Hearing that Li Zhi was so polite, Lao Wang immediately waved his hands and declined, Li Zhi smiled after hearing this, and didn't insist anymore .Capital Datang 534

Lao Wang and Liu Tou talked a few more words, and then asked them what they wanted to eat. Originally, Liu Tou asked Li Zhi to order, but Li Zhi had just arrived here and was not familiar with it at all, so Liu Tou and the others ordered After ordering a few dishes, each of them ordered another bowl of egg noodles. After all, they all did heavy work, so they couldn't do without the staple food.It is also worth mentioning that rice is cheap and noodles are expensive here in Taiwan, and Liu Tou can invite everyone to eat noodles, which is already very expensive.

Li Zhi was also really hungry, and the noodles made by Old Wang were really good, so he ate up his own noodles in two or three bites. At this time, some dishes ordered by Liu Tou were also delivered, because Liu Tou Knowing that Li Zhi doesn't seem to eat meat dishes, half of the dishes he ordered are vegetarian, which can be regarded as taking care of the newcomers. There are also two jars of wine. Everyone drank it all in one gulp.

Liu Tou and the others are rough people, especially after drinking, they all let go, chatting happily all over the world.And taking this opportunity, Li Zhi asked some questions that he was interested in, such as how many people are there in the factory, how many ships can be shipped every year, etc.?In addition, there are some stories about Liu Tou's living conditions, so as to understand the lives of ordinary people.

Regarding these things, Liu Tou and the others naturally said what they knew, and guessed what they didn't know. Anyway, it was just chatting, as long as there was something to talk about, just maintain a lively atmosphere.

But when they were chatting happily, a person suddenly ran in from outside the shop in a panic. (to be continued...)
