【】Chapter 11 【Part 55】

Later, Jiang'an Railway Station Teahouse:

[The ointment dealer is alcohol in his brain, his throat is gurgling. He tries to continue his speech, but he can't say a full sentence. He has a few men, and is quite capable in silence. He has a little status, and it is not uncommon to be drunk outside. He doesn't care about greetings and quickly keeps off. No one pays much attention, but he thinks he is here to pick up the drunk boss]

Don't want any more accidents, Mi Puqing stays in the teahouse:

[Zong Xiaowei was accompanied by himself, and the three of them sat there. Open their hearts and talked all night long. They sat for 12 hours in the teahouse and rested for 24 hours]

The mobile pastry boy is back:

[To low-income workers, Zong Xiaowei has always been very polite. Five-nut filling sweet cakes, 2 pieces of cakes with red date paste. Zong Xiaowei smiled and said: Master, Northerners]

There were also mobile vendors coming over with a smile on their faces:

[Bottled milk. Of course I understand: if you have that temperature, you don’t know what a refrigerator is. If you are afraid of spoiling and losing money, the vendor will be heartbroken (five-nut fillings are quite northern flavors. Usually made pastries, and they are also baked into sesame cakes. With milk, you will be really good for your life. In 1920, ordinary people)]

There are 5 bottles left, Zong Xiaowei wants them all:

[The hawker is in his 40s and his voice is trembling. His clothes have patches, he tied his ankle-sands and straw sandals at bare feet. He grabbed the bottle tightly and placed the table carefully. That scene, I thought the 21st century movie was slow motion. He kept smiling forty thousand. He showed his yellow teeth smoked by dry smoke. He came too suddenly. He was definitely not meant to be cute, but he was afraid that he would accidentally break the bottle. In his 40s, he was old and young. There was no need to explain it thoroughly, and all Chinese compatriots understood]

Just talking to Fu Cunxi, Mi Puqing's eyes came out of the corner of his eyes:

[The straw rope tied to the right ankle is broken, and I use a ragged cloth strip to make do. The expedient approach is definitely no chance. Mobile vendors have no shoes, which is a big problem. I can't find any words to describe the feeling. I muttered to Zong Xiaowei in a low voice and asked if there was still milk outside. The man was very happy and told him the last 5 bottles. 81 Wen copper plates each bottle, and come and collect the bottle later. If you buy the bottles in a row, extra money (usually, no one buys the bottle)]

Zong Xiaowei handed over the money and spoke in a low-key manner:

[No need to find it, my brother buys a pair of shoes. It is better to buy and sell]

The man opened his mouth blankly, his eyes almost glaring:

[Respecting my family so much, I thought I had heard the dream wrong? The long-lost sense of dignity and honor have been lost for many years. The only thing I hope the whole family will have to eat, there is no consideration for being respected at all. It is not that I don’t want to think about it, I dare not think about it. But today, the young man who met by chance... a man of 40 people almost collapsed on the spot. Tears instantly slid across his face, his throat was rumbling, and he couldn’t make a sound. For the convenience of working, his old sleeves had long been rolled over his elbow joints. He had to help pull with his other hand, and he kept wiping his eyes]

Mi Puqing handed over a cigarette, and Zong Xiaowei comforted him:

【With a 'crack', the flames lit up. The light and shadow were bright and warm, every blood vessel. Walking in the middle of winter in the middle of winter, I finally bumped into the place where there was a stove. I hurriedly sat down and rubbed my hands to keep warm, and there was even hot porridge with sugar. I felt that way]

In 1920, good things for cloth shoes:

[No joke, don’t mention leather shoes. They are luxury goods in shops or even glass windows. Low-income workers can only see the Western scenery through glass. We Chinese shops can be casually viewed]

If the Gentile shop, (she) they are very pretending:

[Nine out of ten, a man with a mouth full of Gentile words popped up, with blonde hair and blue-green eyes. Or, the island mansion screamed in a vague way. He thought he was noble and was not allowed to watch low-income Chinese. In 1920, it was just like that. Trying to reason is meaningless]

Many low-income workers only use good cloth shoes to stitch relatives:

[Understanding cloth shoes are patched, colorful and avant-garde and fashionable. Straw sandals are the most economical, so I am too reluctant to wear shoes. Dockworkers start working barefoot in summer. Even in late autumn, there is no way to get a pair of straw sandals. If you save a little, you can only wear socks with straw sandals. In winter, don’t joke. Is it cold? If you can feel it yourself (Battlefoot: Jiang'an Dacheng dialect, no shoes or socks. Barefoot: commonly used in northern China, means no shoes or socks. For example, before, Mipuqing and three others were in Gongzhou. They went to the Bungqiao Road to eat soy milk at breakfast shop. The scene says "barefoot", which means no shoes or socks. For example, the spoken language in Gongzhou must be used "barefoot")]

After saying something off topic, press not to mention:

【Look at this room, the train station teahouse】

As we were eating and chatting, the common people talked:

[My father has gone, and tears flow in his heart. I feel relieved to know that Aunt Qiao is at the moment. The biggest question at the moment is whether to return to Zuoxian County? In the future, do a small business? Keep the old house until you leave? Some land at home is rented to tenants to cultivate. At present, natural conditions are very satisfied with the output. Where is the road? The mansion belongs to the new youth, and you will think about the road of life.]

Jiangan Dacheng, International Port:

[Many new cultures are exposed to various sciences. The idea of ​​the house is preserved. It is best to come here to settle down. At that time, Chinese national entrepreneurs advocated "industry saves the country and industry prosper the country". Such concepts led many aspiring young people. Zuoxian County had a house, and his grandfather was relatively conservative. It was difficult to deal with]

As early as the 5th year of the Republic of China, October 1916:

[Jiangan Dacheng, Island Mansion Textile Company. More than 2,000 Chinese workers went on strike in full swing. The company was paralyzed, and Island Mansion people were almost crazy]

December 1916:

[Jiangan Dacheng area. Chinese customs, burning a large amount of opium]

8th year of the Republic of China, 1919:

[Advocate Chinese culture and organize the first chess competition]

9th year of the Republic of China, June 1920:

[Advocate the inspiration of Chinese compatriots and organize the first swimming competition]

9th year of the Republic of China, June 1920:

[The big city of Jiangan, tens of tons of ship launched. Made in China]

9th year of the Republic of China, June 1920:

[Female compatriots have great pursuits and set up interactive communication institutions. Advocate for progress in education, equality, freedom of marriage, etc.]

After the test, I will interrupt and press it and don't mention it:

[Look at this side, the railway station. Fu Cunxi is thorough in doing things and thinks from the perspective of others. He tells the truth: the teahouse is 24 hours a day, and it is deserted at night. It will be changed soon and the business will be opened until 22 o'clock. I want to say hello and look for someone to replace myself]

Zong Xiaowei smiled and said nothing:

[Mipqing's speech has always been 12 points safe. Don't worry about telling me. Some people are looking for errands. Let's arrange it for you. OK? Go back to Zuoxian County quickly, the travel fee is fine. I'll wait for you (there is definitely no problem if the teahouse deserves the salary. Mr. Shi Kuoyang, there are friends in all industries. Give each other face)]

Speaking of the reasons for the past and after, why did it come to Jiangan:

[Everyone who listened was moved, sighed and sighed. I regretted that we met too late, and we were in harmony with each other]

The next morning, 6:15≈≈ 6:30:

[Tea handover. The year of Gengshen in the lunar calendar, June 29th. August 13th, 1920. (20: pronunciation niàn, 4 tones. Chinese tradition, referring to the number ‘20’)]

In the morning, Nianzhe Waterfall Jindian House:

[Xiangqin accompanied Junxin and came here to confirm it personally. It would be fine if you don't call him "mother" again, just say "Junxin". It's sold during breakfast, so you can eat whatever you want]

Lin Zhaosi, Mi Puqing, Zong Xiaowei:

[I once held a short meeting in Huatingxi: The restaurant business is getting better and better, and everyone is working hard. At the beginning of the business, only when someone is in love with it is everything. Employee meals must be of quality, which is very important. Shareholders may have social gatherings, and all kinds of situations are possible. Diet is just a matter of one's own relationship. Mi Puqing's full-time restaurant manager, arrange specific responses]

Since the start of business, it has been a charge and war:

[Junxin, Xiangqin didn't talk nonsense, she was just a kitchen helper. She never dared to think about it. The business was so good that it was scary. That scene was like eating without money. Breakfast only]

Keep up with lunch:

[The door is full of shoulders, and many people come here without hesitation. When they wait for the seat, they are not very patient. They often keep a close eye on a certain table and want to have a fight. It is too common for the whole family to eat it. It is very common for fans of the 21st century. They all say that they like the atmosphere here. Add new dishes: rice with half a roast chicken, or fried chicken, vegetables and soup (in 1920. It is very novel for ordinary people, fried chicken and roast chicken. At that time, they know how to cherish it and do not waste it. Even high-income people eat it clean)]

Initially staffed, I didn’t think the business was so good:

[It is getting busier and dizzy, and it is very difficult to deal with it. From the front desk to the kitchen, at least 5 people will be added]

While talking, the car from the dock:

[Send helper, who? Haitang, Su Ping Pao. I don’t have time to greet him, so I just rush into the kitchen. But when I see the eating team, I’m very long. I don’t know what to do, and I think about the huge prize lottery tickets (the car from the dock: not a car. The dock office room, with a horse shed. Mule and horse carriage)]

Lunch and dinner, never stopped:

[Customer exchanges are like a tide, not laughing. It is not mainly cooking. Isn't it simple? Don't worry, it's never easy. Everyone can only take turns to eat. Zong Xiaowei and Xiangqin are always at work. Let other workers eat first, and everyone is very happy. Why? The back door of the kitchen is opened, and they carry a small stool or bamboo chair. A few bricks are stacked. The simplest is to squat and eat. After the meal, take a break and light a cigarette. Everyone is posing in the gantry formation]

Staff meals, everything is available:

[If it is not enough, stir-fry again. On that day: Fried Xuelihong, vegetable and egg soup, stewed pork intestine of potatoes, fried dough sticks for breakfast, pasta, vegetable buns, extra sorghum rice. Working outside in 1920 is definitely called "good life"]

I have to say that the power of the mansion is endless:

[I heard about the restaurant's recent situation, so I have no nonsense. I must ask for a few days to go back to Zuoxian County. You guys are suffering, brothers understand the truth... I don't know what to say]

People's hearts are exchanged, I can't say anything:

【Do work together and work for the restaurant】

At around 15 o'clock, Zong Xiaowei must return to the dock:

[Xianqin made an appointment with potential customers and met and negotiated a deal. Doris served rice early and served some dishes. Zong Xiaowei had a large appetite and was never picky about food. Xiangqin had average rice, and she could eat anything. It was only 17 o'clock, and Xuan Jielang arrived]

Two days later, the second day of the seventh month of the Gengshen year of the lunar calendar:

[August 15, early morning. Xuan Jielang drove a horse carriage]

Nianzhe Waterfall Jin Restaurant, breakfast time:

[Add a glass counter, metal shelf inside. The earthen refrigerator under the shelf is full of ice. What are you doing? The pastry is fresh, just two things for now. Do you remember the mobile vendor at the station? Yes, that child. In just 2 days, the tools and raw materials are all ready quickly. I brought them to the restaurant kitchen to make it on site]

Mipuqing confirmed that there is no problem, and the production volume is large:

【Zong Xiaowei is open-minded: I can't sell it, eat it yourself】

After finishing your work, you must be full:

[Extra buns, pasta, and fried dough sticks are given to go home for meals. The wages are paid on the same day. It was quite popular in 1920. I have to say that the father and son were moved by a mess. They refused to give it to him, and they said that the restaurant was too busy and they did not delay the transaction, so they could go back by themselves]

During breakfast, pastries are on the counter:

[The Jiang'an Dacheng area has a lot of delicious food. However, the pastry, five-nut stuffed sesame cakes, 2 square cakes with red date paste, I really have never seen it. All diners' inertial thinking: the things from Nianzhe Water Brocade must be delicious. Take some, paired with hot porridge and soy milk. The taste is really good. I bought it and took it away. After 8:30 in the morning, I will sell it all short]

3 days later, the third day of the seventh month of the Gengshen year of the lunar calendar:

[Morning, August 16th. Do you remember that Huajia Grotto Gate for a long time? Jiubaoliang Road. There is a rice shop/oil sauce seasoning shop near that place]

Mud snail and clam rice shop, or ‘Jiubao Boss Store’:

[Everyone refers to this business, and the neighborhood is a custom. Why are there two titles? There is no way to verify. The owner of the rice shop personally sent two live pigs to the wharf (Milt snail and clams: Jiang'an Dacheng, the region name. Jiubaoliang Road neighbors, all went there to buy vegetables. Clams: pronunciation bàng, 4 sounds)]

Remember, first meeting:

[A gentleman in his 40s, with a melon-shaped hat, a cotton slanted robe, and a cloth cotton shoes. He held a torch directly outside the shop, and the shopkeeper supervised the shop (similar to the 21st century, supermarket manager and accountant)]

In the morning, the pier will explain:

[Xuan Jielang was driving a carriage, Zong Xiaowei followed him. He brought gifts, mud snail and clam rice shop. What? Decent pastry cartons, 2 boxes of sesame cakes, 2 boxes of cakes with date pastry, 2 boxes of imitation Gentile pastries. Bottled milk, 9 bottles (Do you remember, imitation Gentile pastries? Zong Xiaowei first arrived in the Jiangan and bought it for his uncle, and had a long time to save flowers. It was that family, a prosperous area)]

I appreciate Mipu couple very much:
