Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

Li Huaide knew that He Daqing had a lot of clever ideas. Wasn’t this incident his idea?

Now that He Daqing said there was a way to deal with the food shortage, he was really happy.

So he asked anxiously: "Master He, what do you think? Tell us so we can listen to it together."

He Daqing shook his head and said, "Let's talk about this later. Let's get the trip to Tianjin Port done first. That was just an immature idea of ​​mine."

Seeing that He Daqing was unwilling to say anything, Li Huaide felt as uncomfortable as if he was being scratched by a cat.

But he couldn't do anything about He Daqing and could only endure it.

A few people were chatting while looking at the scenery outside.

Soon it was noon.

At this time, the driver was tired of driving and needed to get off the car to rest.

Today's cars are not as easy to drive as those of later generations. The steering wheel is purely a test of personal strength. If you don't have a lot of strength, you really can't do anything with this thing.

So, although being a driver is the most popular profession in this era, not everyone can do it. People with small stature are really not good enough.

A group of people got off the bus, some drained water as needed, and some replenished water as needed.

The two drivers had already found some branches and lit them up, and then roasted the multi-grain cakes they brought with them on the fire.

Li Huaide also took out a few steamed buns and ate them with some pickles. This shows the difference between leaders and ordinary people. How many families can eat big white steamed buns now?

But he still didn't forget He Daqing, and waved to him and said, "Master He, come and eat with us."

He Daqing saw that everyone was eating, so he took out the pancakes he brought from his bag, and then found two scallions and rolled them into the pancakes.

He handed one to Li Huaide and took one for himself and started to bite.

Seeing He Daqing eating with relish, Li Huaide took a bite of the pancake with green onions.

After taking a bite, you’ll realize it tastes really better than the steamed buns you brought with you.

Li Huaide found the pancake more delicious the more he ate, and he finished it in no time.

After eating the pancake with green onions, Li Huaide couldn't help but sigh that being a chef is a good profession, as there are delicious food wherever you go.

Li Huaide has many hobbies in his life. He is greedy for money, lustful, and loves power. But his love for food is no less than the previous hobbies.

After eating and drinking, the group got on the bus again and headed for Tianjin Port.

It was not until two or three in the afternoon that we reached the territory of Tianjin Port.

After arriving at Tianjin Port, no one knew where to find a place selling seafood.

So I listened to Li Huaide and drove directly to the beach, searching along the way.

It was almost dark when they found a village with a large number of fishermen.

Under the guidance of local fishermen, the group found the local village committee and the village chief.

This was a middle-aged man with a short stature and a dark face. When he learned that Li Huaide and his team were here to purchase seafood, the middle-aged man's dark face immediately smiled like a chrysanthemum.

Li Huaide and his companions were warmly welcomed into a low house.

The village chief said, "Hello, I am the village chief here, and everyone calls me Wu Lao Er."

Li Huaide also introduced himself and his group, and then asked: "Village Chief Wu, I just want to know if our village can supply a large amount of seafood. Our steel mill has more than 10,000 people, and the amount needed is not small."

Wu Laoer thought for a moment and said, "Leader, we have seafood in our village, but some of the best seafood we catch has to be sent to the commune for unified purchase. If you want those, you have to go to the commune to purchase them."

Li Huaide and the others all knew that if they wanted to go there, they would need a ticket, and that it was allocated based on need, so it might not be given to you once you went there.

Thinking of this, He Daqing said, "Village Chief Wu, we don't want those that the commune buys in bulk. We can buy some seafood that they don't buy, such as crabs, mantis shrimps and the like. I know that no one wants these things here. They are very cheap, right?"

When Village Chief Wu heard this, he asked in disbelief, "Why do you want that stuff? It's too troublesome to eat. If we salvage it here, we'll feed it to our chickens and ducks."

He Daqing explained again: "Village Chief Wu, these things are worthless here, and no one wants to eat them. But over here, everyone can't get enough food, so having something to eat is better than going hungry."

He Daqing's words made Village Chief Wu silent for a while. He said, "If you say so, then come with me and we'll go to the dock to have a look. If you really want those unwanted things, I can sell them to you when the time comes."

Then, the group followed Village Chief Wu to a simple pier on the seaside.

It was getting dark at this moment, and it was the time when a large number of fishing boats returned.

Outside the pier, there were many small wooden boats. This one was like the small yachts in the parks of later generations, which could only accommodate two or three people at most.

This kind of fishing boat can only be used for fishing nearby. A slightly bigger wave can overturn it.

I really don’t know how fishermen nowadays dare to go out to sea with such a small fishing boat.

But in the distance, He Daqing also saw a few larger sailing ships. This kind of ship looked more like a real ship, with a tall pillar in the middle of the ship where the sails could be hung.

This type of boat can use the wind to fish a little further away. The boat is also much larger and can accommodate seven or eight people.

I came to the dock and watched everyone carrying down baskets of catch.

He Daqing leaned over to take a look. After all, they were fishing in the nearby sea area, so there were few big fish. Most of them were small fish, shrimps, and some shellfish.

He Daqing watched them pick out the larger sea fish and knew that they were going to be sent to the commune for centralized purchase.

As for the remaining small fish and shrimps, everyone just threw them aside casually and no one cared at all.

He Daqing even saw many people pouring small seafood such as clams and mantis shrimps that they accidentally caught back into the sea.

Seeing this, He Daqing had an idea in his mind. It seemed that the fishermen here really did not regard these things as seafood and were too lazy to eat them directly.

Li Huaide and his group didn't understand what was going on, so they just surrounded the big sea fish and almost took a bite of them.

When they learned that these had to be sent to the commune for centralized purchase, their faces were filled with regret.

In modern people's cognition, of course, the more meat a fish has, the better it is. No one wants to eat fish like the ones He Daqing saw. It wastes seasoning and doesn't fill the stomach.
