Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 166, the meat is enough
On the wharf of Tianjin Port, baskets full of seafood were neatly stacked. Each pile weighed more than [-] catties. There were five piles in total, adding up to more than [-] catties of seafood.

The people working in the entire Tianjin port stopped their work, opened their eyes wide, and stared at the piles of sea fish.

"I've never seen so many fish in my life!"

Some elderly people lamented that the fish is not fresh, everyone has seen it and eaten it, but seeing this fish weighing more than [-] catties at one time, piled up like a small mountain of fish, these people present are all See you for the first time.

"Tsk tsk, what kind of fish is that? It's so big, maybe it weighs over a hundred catties?"

Someone pointed to a big fish and said, this one is so big that it can't be picked out with a basket, and can only be placed outside alone. Big fish like this are not uncommon, and there are many big fish like this.

"I'm afraid it's more than that. I saw it when I got off the boat just now. The two strong men were about to grit their teeth."

Someone nearby said hastily: "I estimate that it may exceed two hundred catties. This is the first time I have seen such a big fish."

"I heard that there is a sea fish called a whale in the sea, each of which may weigh several thousand catties."

"Blow it, I have never heard of a big fish weighing several thousand catties, how is it possible."

"I've also heard that there are people in the shipyard who are said to be researching and building fishing boats. There is a boat and bed crossbow specially used for whaling. This is what Mr. Liu said, so it should be correct. "

"What Mr. Liu said, it must be true."

"Now we're lucky, we'll probably have some meat to eat next, and this fish is also meat."

When it came to eating meat, everyone at the pier couldn't help swallowing.

In this era, for these people at the bottom, getting enough to eat is a big problem, let alone eating meat. Although after working here for Liu Jin, I can eat three meals a day, but eating meat still takes a few days Only once, eating meat is still a luxury.

In fact, as everyone expected, more than [-] catties of sea fish were harvested. Liu Jin is also very generous here, announcing that the cement factory, maritime academy, and shipyard will have additional meals, and everyone can open up to eat meat. Enough fish.

Tianjin Cement Plant.

As the bell for getting off work rang, people who had worked hard all day ended their work one after another, washed the dirty things on their bodies, and ran to the cafeteria excitedly.

Before leaving get off work, the steward had already announced the good news. From now on, there would be meat and fish for every meal. The fish was the same as rice, and it was all enough to eat with open belly.

Chen Shuiwa is the fastest one. As long as it is time to eat meat, he will definitely be the first one. Without it, Chen Shuiwa from a poor rural family has never eaten a few meals of meat since childhood. He is always happy and full of motivation.

The same is true today. He rushed to the cafeteria almost at a speed of [-] meters, completely ignoring the ridicule of the people around him. In his opinion, eating meat is a big thing, more important than anything else. Laugh, is this more important than eating an extra bowl of meat?
When he was very close to the cafeteria, he smelled the smell of fish, which made him quicken his pace. He was the first to rush into the cafeteria, and served himself a bowl full of rice skillfully. Then hurriedly came to the cooking area.

"It's you Shuiba again, kid, eat with your belly open, eat as much as you can, from now on, you'll have enough fish."

Everyone who works in the kitchen knows this Chen Shuiwa. Every time he eats meat, he rushes to the front. How could they not know him.

"Is there enough fish?"

When Chen Shuiwa heard this, her eyes lit up immediately, and then she looked at the bowl of rice in her hand, and she immediately had a problem, should I put the rice back?
"I don't know. Five ships from the Maritime Academy came back from the sea today and caught more than [-] catties of sea fish, which is enough for us to eat with our stomachs open. I'm afraid you will get tired of eating meat in the future?"

"Come on, try this fried large yellow croaker first."

The aunt in the kitchen said with a smile, and then gave Chen Shuiwa a bowl full of fried large yellow croakers.

"One hundred thousand catties of fish?"

When Chen Shuiwa heard this, she was immediately dumbfounded, thinking about how many fish the one hundred thousand catties of fish were, but soon, he turned his attention to the bowl of fish in front of him.

Find a seat and start feasting.

"Mm~ delicious, delicious, fried just right, this fish is very fresh, there are very few bone spurs, there are very few spines in this piece of meat."

While eating, Chen Shuiwa kept nodding her head, the fish was indeed delicious.

Soon, there were more and more people in the cafeteria, and it became very lively. When eating meat, everyone was scrambling to be the first, for fear that they would lose. In fact, most of the people were similar to Chen Shuiwa, just a fifty-step laugh Just a hundred steps.

Bucket after bucket of sea fish is constantly being brought out, making people open their bellies to eat, whatever they want.

Anyway, for Liu Jin now, this food may not be easy to buy, and it is also very expensive. As long as there is a boat, there will be endless fish every day. food.

This kind of meat is open to eat, and I have never heard of it before, let alone have the opportunity to experience it.

There was no unnecessary sound in the whole cafeteria. Everyone silently stared at the meat in their bowls, eating desperately non-stop. chatted up.

"I have lived my whole life, and I have never encountered such a thing. This meat can be eaten casually with the belly open. This meal is really comfortable. It's a pity that there is no wine, otherwise it would be perfect."

"You look so beautiful, and you still want to drink, why don't you go to heaven?"

"Haha, that's all I'm going to say. It's better to follow Mr. Liu. On days like this, I can't bear to go back. I want to work for Mr. Liu for the rest of my life."

"I heard that more than [-] catties of fish were brought back. From now on, we will have meat to eat. Although the fish is delicious, it is still not as good as pork. It doesn't have that greasy feeling."

"You just ate a meal of fish and meat, and you're here to pick and choose. Don't be dissatisfied. That's working with Mr. Liu. If you didn't come in, you wouldn't go and see those hungry people in Tianjin. I even gnawed off the bark, and started eating Guanyin soil."

"When you drink water, you must think of the source. I see that your kid is always lazy in doing things recently. You feel your conscience and say, are you worthy of it?"

"I also know in my heart that Mr. Liu is good to us, but recently I also miss my family. We are full here, but there is a famine at home, so sometimes I don't have the mind to do things, alas!"

"Isn't that right? I miss my family a lot. I can't go back now. I'm afraid I won't be able to get in after I go back. Then I'll starve myself. This year's wheat harvest is gone, and now the food is almost gone. , I don’t know what to do next.”

Speaking of the current famine, each of these people couldn't help but frown, and they were worried about their families, because as the old food became less and less, the famine had become more and more serious.
