Chapter 43 Jinmen
Time passed and the National Day passed. During this period, He Yuzhu was sometimes invited by Lou Bancheng to cook at the steel rolling mill for several days in a row. With the completion of the public-private partnership of the steel rolling mill and the handover of rights, Lou Bancheng became a shareholder who did nothing and no longer asked He Yuzhu to go to the steel rolling mill. The government also started the expansion of steel rolling mills with great fanfare.
After He Yuzhu was free, he thought of the sea in space. If he wanted to fill it with marine species, he had to go to the beach. After all, as soon as the seafood arrived in Sijiu City, it was divided among the major restaurants and wealthy people. It is rare to see live seafood in the market.
Jinmen is located on the Bohai Sea and at the mouth of the Haihe River. It is rich in aquatic products and has been famous far and wide as early as the Yuan Dynasty. It is said that the sound of geese reaches the desert north and the fish tastes better than that in the south of the Yangtze River. There are all kinds of shrimps, crabs, pufferfish, whitebait, sea cucumbers, abalone, shrimp crawlers, all kinds of sea fish, etc.
Jinmen is not far from the Forty-Nine City and is rich in seafood, prosperous commerce, and rich in food culture. Tianjin cuisine, which originated from the folk, takes advantage of the geographical location, draws on the strengths of others, and is unique. There is a direct train connection and the transportation is convenient. It only takes about 3 hours to arrive. It is He Yuzhu's best choice.
Choose a Saturday or Sunday and take the rain with you to see the sea and the outside world.
On this day, He Yuzhu found his master Fan Dakang and asked for leave: "Master, I want to take a few days off. I want to go to Jinmen."
Fan Dakang was very puzzled when he heard that He Yuzhu asked for leave to go to Tianjin and asked, "Why are you going to Tianjin?"
He Yuzhu: "Besides helping the cook in Fengzeyuan, I have nothing else to do now. I want to take advantage of my young age to go out and see the world, and understand the food culture of Jinmen."
Fan Dakang thought for a while and asked, "When will you go and how many days will you go?"
He Yuzhu said: "I will go with Yu Yu in two days. I will go on Saturday and return on Sunday."
"You want to take Yu Yu with you? It's not peaceful outside. Can you take good care of her?" Fan Dakang was a little worried when he heard that He Yuzhu wanted to take Yu Yu with him.
"It's okay, just take the train. It's still daytime, no problem." He Yuzhu said confidently.
Seeing that He Yuzhu had made up his mind, Fan Dakang no longer objected and said, "Okay, don't be impulsive when you go out. If something happens, run away quickly. Don't watch the excitement. Take care of yourself and Yu Yu."
He Yuzhu: "Okay Master, I will take good care of myself and Yuyu."
Fan Dakang was worried and began to tell He Yuzhu: "Be prepared when you go back and bring something with you for self-defense. Hide the money separately and don't put it in one place."
He Yuzhu: "Master, I remember it."
After giving some instructions, Fan Dakang waved his hand and asked He Yuzhu to leave: "Okay, you can go."
He Yuzhu left when he saw that the master had nothing to say.
If he wanted to go to Jinmen, He Yuzhu had to find Wang Dong to open a letter of introduction. Only with a letter of introduction can you buy tickets and accommodation.
He Yuzhu rode his bicycle to the street office to find Wang Dong. At the door of the street office, I happened to meet Wang Dong who was coming back from outside.
"Brother Dong." He Yuzhu called to Wang Dong who was about to enter.
Wang Dong heard someone shouting and turned around to see it was He Yuzhu. He handed his bicycle to his companion and pushed it in, waiting for He Yuzhu to come to him: "Zhuzhu, what do you want from me?"
"I want to go to Jinmen and ask you for a letter of introduction to open a business." He Yuzhu handed Wang Dong a cigarette.
Wang Dong: "Okay, why are you going to Jinmen?"
He Yuzhu: "Go to the beach to gain knowledge and learn other people's craftsmanship."
Wang Dong: "You are so good at cooking, why do you still want to learn?"
He Yuzhu: "Is there no end to learning? Besides, Tianjin cuisine also has its own characteristics. Go and experience it."
Wang Dong: "Okay, I'll get it for you."
Wang Dong came out shortly after entering, handed the letter of introduction to He Yuzhu, and said, "I've done it for you."
He Yuzhu took it: "Thank you, Brother Dong. When I come back, I will bring you the specialties there."
After saying goodbye to Wang Dong, He Yuzhu first went to the train station to buy a train ticket to Tanggu, and then went to pick up Yuyu from school.
In the evening, He Yuzhu said to Yuyu at the dinner table: "How about my brother taking you out to play tomorrow?"
When Yu Yu heard that his brother was going to take him out to play, he immediately asked happily: "Where are we going to play?"
"Brother will take you to see the sea."
"Okay, okay, I haven't seen the sea yet." Yuyu was very happy.
He Yuzhu: "Don't say you haven't seen the sea, and my brother has never seen the sea either. Tomorrow, my brother will take you to Jinmen to see the sea."
Early the next morning, He Yuzhu woke up Yu Yu, had breakfast together and closed the door. Went to the train station with the rain.
"Yu Yu, hold my brother's hand and don't run around. Otherwise, you won't be able to see your brother if you run away." He Yuzhu warned while looking at the train station with people coming and going.
"Yeah." Yuyu looked a little scared when he saw so many people at the train station, and held his brother's hand tightly.
While waiting for the bus, He Yuzhu saw several pickpockets stealing things, but because of the rain, he didn't mind his own business. After a while, I started checking in and getting on the bus.
After getting on the bus, He Yuzhu brought Rainy Water to the seat, let Rainy Water sit on the window seat, and closed the window until he drove the car, then opened it again to prevent anyone from climbing into the window.
After a bumpy ride, we finally arrived at the station after 3 hours. Yu Yu took the train for the first time. He kept looking out the window excitedly without taking a break. That's it after getting off the bus. He Yuzhu had no choice but to find a hotel nearby to stay.
After resting for a while and waiting for the rain to subside, He Yuzhu took the rain to find a restaurant and have lunch. I ordered a few special dishes, including whitebait, prawns, Bazhen tofu, etc.
After eating, I bought a lot of specialty snacks with Yu Yu. It was not until dinner that I returned to the hotel to rest.
Early the next morning, I woke up Yu Yu early and went to the beach together to watch the sunrise.
Seeing the rain screaming and chasing the waves on the beach, He Yuzhu released his consciousness and began to explore the creatures under the beach. Shrimps, shellfish, conch, etc. are all collected into the space one by one.
Yu Yu picked up a lot of beautiful shells at the beach: "Brother, brother, do you think the shells look good?"
"Well, it looks good."
Rainwater put the shells in the bucket and ran out to continue looking.
After playing at the beach, He Yuzhu took Yuzhu to the seafood market. Yu Yu looked at all kinds of seafood, but couldn't name them, so he could only ask his brother.
He Yuzhu answered everyone one by one, but some also called out names.
While He Yuzhu was shopping, he just collected a few large quantities of seafood into the space to speed up reproduction. If the quantity is scarce, you can only buy it with money.
After a visit to the market, there were many kinds of seafood in the space. He Yuzhu carried a lot of seafood in a bucket and came out of the market. When no one was paying attention, he took it into the space to accelerate reproduction, and then took it out to prevent the rain from detecting abnormalities.
After lunch, he returned to the hotel to take a rest, and He Yuzhu started to return with the rainwater.
