Chapter 327 Come, try this prawn

On the seaside of Qingzhou, there is a hidden harbor. This is the land bought by Chaijiazhuang and the cargo port built. The terrain here is remote, and it is more than 150 miles away from Qingzhou City. Few people come here.

Ruan Xiaoqi is waiting here, as long as there are craftsmen who come back home, the ship will be dispatched if there are 100 people.

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "We do good deeds here, helping those who can't afford food, and we do it secretly."

Deputy General Xu said: "This is how it is here. The people have no choice. They are forced to eat dirt at home, but they can't go to the city to beg for food. If they go to beg for food, they will be beaten back. When they go out to flee famine, they have to go scattered. Go to the government in batches for fear of rebellion."

Just as I was talking, a group of people came, a craftsman who came back from Yangma Island, and brought back more than [-] people, men, women, young and old, all in rags, just like the beggar team.

He came over and knelt down to Ruan Xiaoqi, saying, "Battle Commander Ruan, you have to save your life."

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "What's the situation, what are you doing when you come here and kneel in front of me, let's talk about things first."

The craftsman said: "I brought a total of fifteen adults and seven children. Among the adults, my third grandfather is 65, who is over age. The seven children are all orphans in the village. They will die sooner or later if they stay at home. Just do it."

Ruan Xiaoqi called the craftsman aside, and said, "When we went back, we gave you thousands of warnings and instructions. It's not that we were cruel and unwilling to help them. You must understand that we sailed to Yangma Island on a big ship. At the age of your third uncle, people may be lost if they become seasick, and people in a boat are worried about the plague, so they can only be thrown into the sea, do you understand?"

"I understand, but my third master is sure to die if he stays at home, and there is still a sliver of life when he goes out. He understands, and I have explained everything clearly." The craftsman said.

"These ten-year-old orphans are also a problem, but it's not a big problem. I'll tell the owner that it's okay to eat and drink. Let's settle in Dinghaigang Wharf. You can tell your third master again, the relationship is strong. .” Ruan Xiaoqi said.

The clerk came over and told everyone again that only strong men and strong women with unbound feet can get wages.The elderly and children will eat and drink when they pass by, and they have to travel by sea. The risk is high. Life, old age, sickness and death are all in peace, so don't come to blackmail people.

But this is better in this age, human life is worthless, there is no such thing as extortion, otherwise Ruan Xiaoqi really dare not accept it.

More than 320 people gathered in the afternoon, and there are still a lot of people who came today. Almost every craftsman came back with more than a dozen people, mainly young and strong men and women, and a small number of children, very few old people, as the saying goes It is said that life in the [-]s is rare since ancient times, and there were so many old people in the years of war and chaos, most of them were eliminated.

"Vice General Xu, arrange for the centipede ship to prepare and sail to the harbor in half an hour," Ruan Xiaoqi ordered.

"Yes."

Xu Tanhai turned around to make arrangements. Ruan Xiaoqi beckoned and called a strong man over in Yangma Island. He was just a 20-year-old laborer who moved bricks and cement.

Ruan Xiaoqi asked: "How many did you bring back?"

"A daughter-in-law, six children, a total of seven." Zhuang Ding said.

"You found your daughter-in-law very quickly, are you new?"

"Well, my mother took five hundred wen and brought her back. She was only seventeen. Her family couldn't live on anymore, and she ate grass roots every day." Zhuang Ding said.

"Do you remember what I told you when I went back?"

"Remember, a woman must be eighteen to get married. I know, she went to arrange a job first, and then get married next year." Zhuang Ding said.

"Okay, young man, do it well."

More than 300 people washed their bodies, threw away their old clothes, and changed into new coarse clothes.

The cooks said: "Check whether your hands and faces are clean. Each person will receive an enamel rice bowl and take it with you. This is your future rice bowl."

These newcomers didn't know the rules, but fortunately, with the help of the artisans who brought them here, everyone lined up and moved forward slowly.

Each person gets a bowl of sorghum rice porridge, and then receives pancakes, which contain green onion and pickles, one pancake for children, two pancakes for adults, and then there are green vegetables, radish and Chinese cabbage stewed in a mess, with a few pieces floating on it Fat meat makes your mouth water.

The most commendable point is that the aunt who does the dishes wears a mask and does not shake her hands.Everyone gets a small bowl of food.

This enamel rice jar is quite versatile, with soup inside and vegetables on top.

There are no tables in the yard, but simple wooden stools. Everyone finds a place to squat and drink porridge and eat pancakes.

"It's delicious, it's delicious, it's delicious." Everyone said while eating.

The craftsman who recruited them said: "Eat slowly, don't worry. Remember, we have enough food here, but we have to follow the rules and order in everything we do. Pancakes are enough, and plain water is enough."

After a while, most of the strong men and women went to line up to get pancakes, and most of the children were already full.

There are also some people who are not full, but dare not go to pick it up. After all, they are newcomers, and they are still timid and afraid of getting into trouble.

It happened that the moonlight was just right that night, and two boats were sent to Dinghai Port, Cangzhou.

Three days later, the two hundred craftsmen had returned.A total of 1000 to [-] men and more than [-] healthy women were recruited.In addition, there are more than [-] old people and children.

However, more than 500 of these 300 children are orphans. Chai Lin arranges for them to live near Yantian, where there is Yantian New Village.

Others boarded the Dafu boat at Dinghai Port and set sail for Yangma Island.

Along the way, the publicity team on each lucky boat explained the treatment of young men who raise horses every day.

The propagandists are all specially trained clerks, they speak and act like pancake sellers, and they are all in one set.

The first battalion of the navy, the flagship, in the huge cabin.

The document began to explain, and the spittle was flying around.

"When you arrive at Yangma Island, you start a new life, a brand new life, which is completely different from your old life," said the document.

"Why is it different?" Some young men asked.

"There are so many differences. For example, how often do you eat shrimp at home?"

A middle-aged man in his 40s said: "In the spring of this year, I kept eating wild vegetables, which made me swollen. I went to the stream to fish for half a day, and got half a catty of shrimp, but the government confiscated them on the way home. , said I fished illegally, and dragged me to a small black house where I was locked up for five days."

The other strong men said: "In times of famine, it's not easy to catch shrimp. Let's catch some once in a while and beat them for tooth sacrifice."

"I want to tell you that when you come to Yangma Island, it will be completely different. In Yangma Island, as long as you work hard, work hard, don't be lazy or play tricks, you are absolutely guaranteed to eat and drink well. I will let you today Taste the taste of our prawns." The secretary waved to the staff, and after a while, six cooks came over carrying three big pots of red prawns, and the fragrance could be smelled from far away .

These are the spicy and fragrant prawns made by the cook on the ship. The prawns were caught by the sailors when the Dafu ship was resting. There are so many prawns in the sea these days, and you can catch a lot of them in one net.

Seven or eight prawns weighing about one catty are very delicious.

"This is the spicy shrimp made by the cook on our big ship. It uses fresh prawns. Each prawn is carefully cooked with palm length, dried chili, ginger, green onion, pepper, and soy sauce. It tastes so delicious It is." said the clerk.

The strong men were all drooling, especially the teenage children, who were even more greedy.
