After leaving the court, it was almost six o'clock in the evening. It took a full two hours just to read out the charges against the criminals. It was really long and smelly, and there were many people arrested this time, whether they were gangsters or everyone else. To be read once.
Nothing happened, so St. Jose returned home. The courthouse was not far from the Bauhinia Apartments. He only had to walk through San Martin Avenue and then turn into Little Silesia Street to reach his home.
Logically speaking, the court should get off work. Normally, people in the city hall get off work at six o'clock. Once, St. Jesus was handling an important document in the government affairs hall. Just after six o'clock, the young lady ran away, leaving St. Jose behind. The stuff was messy in the wind, so I had to come back early the next morning to handle it, which took three days.
But obviously the court is determined to work overtime today, and tomorrow is the weekend. These big men don't want to continue this mess next Monday, and the surrounding audiences have already left one after another.
When he came to the street, Saint Jose walked leisurely. The city had entered the early stage of summer. The trees on the road occasionally heard the sound of cicadas chirping. It happened to be dusk and the sun had not set. Saint Jose looked at the street. There were not many pedestrians. Saint Jose Martin Avenue is mainly home to a large number of government agencies such as the City Hall, the Police Department, and the courts, as well as banks, large companies, and the like.
The natural environment in Kecheng is actually quite good. There is no heavy industry now, and in fact there won’t be much in the future. The coal industry does not exist at all. It seems that there will be a few foreign-funded automobile assembly plants in the future. The weather is also not bad. , the sky is clear and cloudless, because it is the city center, the streets here are quite clean.
There are some orange trees and orange trees on the roadside. They are planted on the side of the road. Small oranges are already growing. In fact, when Saint Jesus first came here, it was somewhat novel. Now he is used to it and feels that Saint Jesus has quite a personality. Sometimes I would pick a few secretly when I was thirsty.
Saint Jose liked to eat oranges. He was rather naughty at that time. He always told his soldiers and Aragorn, "Don't leave later. I will buy you some oranges first." They always agreed happily, but there were many such things. After doing it a few times, it got boring. Saint Jose laughed again as he thought about it. Not long after he came here, he was really lonely. Sometimes just being in a daze could consume half a day. In fact, it's almost the same now.
You must know that Saint Jose has been to many places in the country in his previous life, and it is extremely rare to see fruit trees planted on the road. I have seen some green mangoes, but they are also extremely rare. Most of them are like camphor trees, ginkgo, birch, and poplar trees. Trees, plane trees, banyan trees, locust trees and the like,
If it is a village road or provincial road in the countryside, some fast-growing forest species of eucalyptus will be planted, but the leaves are mostly covered by car exhaust and dust, but this may be because Saint Jose has too little experience.
In a few decades, I would not even dare to give it to San Jose. There are relatively few cars in Argentina now, and it is not a city polluted by heavy industry. Cement plants and the like are all in towns far away from the urban area. Oranges are occasionally sold on the roadside. There is no psychological burden if you pick it off and eat it. This is how Saint Jose comforted himself.
Most of the other shops on the road were closed, except for restaurants and supermarkets. Passing by a supermarket, Saint Jose planned to go in to buy some food and cook some dinner.
St. Jose walked to the vegetable and meat shelves skillfully and selected them one by one.
"Damn, the price of beef has gone up again. If this continues, I can't even afford meat." Saint Jose took a piece of beef and found that the unit price of 500 grams had increased by 50 pesos compared to yesterday.
Because of the Byrd Brotherhood incident, Saint Jose has not eaten pork in the past month. Argentinian beef is very affordable and can be used for cooking, so it can be used as a substitute.
San Jose also saw increases in the prices of potatoes, fish, chicken, mutton, vegetables, rice, flour, bread, noodles and other agricultural products.
When St. Jesus was getting beef, there was a young lady standing next to her. She must be in her early twenties. Her face was haggard, her eyes were hollow and numb, and she was wearing a headscarf and an apron.
The gray-brown apron was covered with stains that could not be washed away. His hands were rough and there were some cracks. He repeatedly picked up and put down a small piece of beef. Saint Jose estimated that it only weighed about 200 grams. Don’t ask Saint Jose why he knew that, because She had been standing still, and San Jose had walked back and forth three times.
For a full ten minutes, she didn't leave the beef freezer. Finally, she gritted her teeth and put the piece of beef into the shopping basket. When Saint Jose had finished selecting all the dishes, the young lady was still standing there. I was wondering whether to buy a piece of soap at the daily necessities shelf next to me, but in the end I didn’t buy it and went to the bakery section.
St. Jesus shook his head, feeling that he had no ability to change anything now, and left the supermarket after paying.
In Argentina, wages can never rise as fast as prices rise. Prices are rising really fast, and they are getting more and more crazy recently.
However, when Saint Jose was still away from the apartment for some time, he accidentally saw the young lady passing by in a hurry, holding only a large bag of bread in her hand. Saint Jose seemed to have thought of something.
He quickly took out a piece of beef from the cloth bag. He had just taken an extra piece when he paid the bill. Then he rushed to the lady and stuffed the piece of beef into the young lady's hand quickly and accurately.
"Madam, I gave this to you. Please accept it. You're welcome." He left a sentence and then quickly ran away, leaving the young lady messy in the wind. I'm afraid this person is not a fool.
The lady finally accepted Saint Jose's kindness. After all, the child had not eaten meat for a long time. She worked part-time every day and her salary was only enough to rent, but the prices were getting more and more expensive.
She looked at the label and it was the supermarket she just went to. This young man had just walked around behind her and picked up a few pieces of beef. She also saw it. At that time, she was envious. He was not a bad-minded person, he should be a Be a good person.
Like a young man, the haze in his heart seemed to have dissipated a little. Saint Jose didn't know why he did this, and then he felt that he was too naive and like a fool.
After going around a long circle, St. Jose carried the vegetables and walked slowly towards the rental house. The residents of the Bauhinia Apartment went home one after another. Orange lights came on one after another. St. Jose basically didn't recognize the neighbors. , didn’t say hello, the lights in Elena’s house were not on, she probably hasn’t arrived home yet, she is such a good girl who loves to study.
Shenghe entered the house without closing the door, then put on his apron and started cooking.
This time I plan to make use of my specialty as a foodie, stir-fry a few side dishes, take out the ingredients in the bag one by one, and clean them.
Just wash the rice once, put it in the pot and cook it first.
Use a heavy kitchen knife to cut the chicken into pieces and rinse the blood under the tap.
St. Jose bought the wok from Uncle Chen. He turned on the gas stove and boiled water in another iron pot. He planned to blanch the chicken first and make a chicken soup.
While waiting for the water to boil, Saint-Jesse quickly cut the beef into slices, washed the celery, and made a portion of fried beef with celery. This was done until the end.
San Jose also bought a seabass, cut it into shredded ginger, and steamed the seabass.
The rest is scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and then simply cook a portion of pasta and keep it cool on the side.
Boom, boom, boom, St. Jose stuck his head out from the kitchen, and it turned out to be Ms. Elena.
"Mr. Saint Jose, have you made anything delicious?" Elena asked standing at the door.
"Hi, Elena, have you had dinner? Let's meet later?"
"No, is it really okay?" Elena wrinkled her beautiful nose.
"Of course, I know you haven't had dinner yet. The shops are closed now. You usually eat milk and bread at night," Saint Jose guessed, and then returned to the kitchen to continue cooking.
"It'll be ready soon," Saint Jose's voice came from the kitchen.
He first took out the steamed seabass with hot gloves and sprinkled it with some thinly sliced mint leaves.
Then quickly stir-fry beef with celery, fried eggs with chopped green onions, pasta, fried eggs with tomatoes, and fried vegetables one after another, and take out the chicken soup.
After setting the table, Saint Jose prepared knives and forks for Elena, while he used wooden chopsticks to serve a bowl of chicken soup to Elena and himself.
"Elena, please try the chicken soup I cooked for more than an hour. This is a magical chicken soup from the East. Give it a try." St. Hesse seemed to be taking credit. He took it from Old Man Chen. Red dates, angelica and other medicinal materials can replenish qi and blood, which is very suitable for girls to drink.
"Well, I'll give it a try." Saint Jose felt quite confident about this chicken soup, and he didn't know if Elena liked it.
"It tastes really good," Elena said, taking a sip from her spoon, then two more, and St. Jose breathed a sigh of relief.
St. Hesse also had a bowl of chicken soup. He took a sip and it was really delicious. He then tasted a mouthful of sea bass with chopsticks. It was sweet and fresh. He was very satisfied. He quickly gave Mary Jin a plate of pasta and himself a bowl of rice. .
The taste of Argentine rice is average, not as good as the Longjiang rice and Thai fragrant rice I had in my previous life, and Saint Jose has never tasted other more expensive rice.
The two chatted and laughed, and the sumptuous dinner was quickly wiped out, most of it falling into St. Jose's belly. Mary Jin only tasted a little, showing her good breeding, and then the two of them cleared away the dishes together.
When saying goodbye to each other, Saint Jose once again thanked Elena for her help last time when she was drunk, and said that he had not had time to treat her to dinner a few days ago. Mary King smiled and said nothing.
Then Saint Jose sat on the sofa and read the newspaper for a while, then fell asleep after taking a shower.
What a normal and fulfilling day.
…
Early the next morning, St. Jose went to the Prali Factory. The Prali Factory and the Second and Third Plants have fully entered the expansion stage. He has rented out all the abandoned farms in the surrounding area.
In preparation for renovation and expansion, the engineering team is dismantling and removing construction waste. The original shed can no longer meet the needs. Saint Jose needs a modern factory building that is truly sturdy and easy to use.
The indoor breeding greenhouses that have been in disrepair for a long time, in the opinion of Saint Jose, who has a lot of money, must be demolished as soon as possible. The dilapidated buildings cannot be used anymore.
Set up a new and more advanced soda production line like the one in Putrajaya to achieve a greater breakthrough in production capacity.
While waiting in San Jose, Cross also came to the factory and told that most of the important cargo of the ocean-going freighter had been cleared through customs three days ago. More than half of the cargo had been unloaded in Putrajaya two days ago. The Knicks are settled.
Other goods, production equipment, and machinery have been transferred to small steamships that day and are expected to arrive at the dock in Maria Town today.
The cargo ship was transported from the Paranan River to the terminal in Maria Town. When it arrived, people would need to be arranged to unload the cargo. Saint Jose also nodded and prepared to go to Maria Town to make arrangements.
Sanjesé called Aragon again, rented a car, put on a body armor and helmet, took Cross with him, and drove to the Port of Maria Town.
After arriving at the dock, St. Jose saw this huge freighter, the "Mamings" freighter, a leader in river steam freighters. It was produced by the Virginia Shipyard in the United States. It is a younger brother in front of the 10,000-ton freighter, but it is enough for inland shipping. .
The "Mamins" freighter is a second-hand steel freighter purchased by Saint-Jean Cross in Putrajaya. It is a retired American cargo. It is 110 meters long, 16 meters wide, with a draft of 3 meters and a load capacity of 3,000 tons. The huge steel monster also emitted huge steam and black smoke, and its whole body exuded a metallic light.
Saint Hesse arranged for workers to unload the cargo, and some important equipment was arranged to be unloaded by Cross and others. Saint Hesse did not help with the unloading. He just looked at this relatively simple river port terminal and the busy workers. Modern gantry cranes can only open containers one by one for unloading.
St. Jose looked at the 1,000-acre industrial park in the distance, in which stood the Maria Plastic Chemical Factory, which was producing large-scale plastic bottles. Farther away from the chemical factory was the construction site of the new soda plant, which was also tense. During the construction, the framework has been initially exposed.
I was in a trance for a moment, and a little amazed at the rapid changes in Maria Town. The chemical plant is a catalyst. Maria Town will be one of the important industrial bases in Saint Jose's heart and the prototype of a future industrial city.
There are also several huge cargo ships of Argentine Petroleum Company docked next to the "Mamins" cargo ship. They are responsible for transporting petrochemical raw materials for the production of Maria Chemical Plastics Factory.
This small port has become even busier because of Saint Jose. It was busy from ten o'clock in the morning to ten o'clock in the evening. More than 3,000 tons of cargo were unloaded, and a hundred containers were piled in the port's warehouse. They will be sorted and transported to the Kecheng and Maria Town factories the next day to play their role.
