Chapter 220: Night Tour of Oriental Harbor 2

Seeing such a situation, Xiao Jing had no choice but to smile bitterly and continue to drive forward. The trade area is a trade area, mainly come to the Oriental Port to buy goods from the wandering traders and pawns, in the past this place was full of Maidno merchants, until seven or eight o'clock in the evening in the trade area are still full of merchants and naturalized workers, the noise will not stop until about nine o'clock. However, with the conflict between the country and Meedno, in order to prevent the Medeno people from spying on the military secrets of the Port of Vostochny through commercial activities and infiltrating into the Port of Vostochny to carry out terrorist activities, the Port Authority of the Port of Vostochny has stopped all applications for entry of Medeno merchant ships. Although there are still many merchants who come to the business zone every day, the vast majority of them are caravans from other cities by land, and the amount of land transportation is far from being transported by sea, so the daily transactions in the trade zone will basically end at about 6 pm. The reason why these staff are still here is mainly because they take the initiative to work overtime and wait for the canteen's supper time to pack supper, after all, there are children at home or they are full of food and sleep.

The farms to which the Senate belonged were now basically able to meet the food consumption of the population of Dongfang Port, and the leased landlords' land in Anyun County and the land cultivated by the operating landlords by technicians were mostly increased by two to three times, except for the farmland that needed to be improved. Even farmland that needs to be improved is planted with cash crops to ensure the supply of edible oil or vegetables. With the support of the Big Farm Project, the food supply is finally not an obstacle to the population development and urban construction of Dongfang Port, and basically every naturalized citizen can have enough food for his family, so that now Xiao Jing casually glimpsed that the body size of several naturalized people has become slightly rounded.

The accumulation of body fat is not an easy task, and before coming to Oriental Port, the naturalized people could only consume carbohydrates, except for rice and flour products, and only some potato tubers were left to eat. And because the amount of food is not enough, they also don't have much surplus food to feed their livestock. Without the animal fat that livestock can provide, and there is not much vegetable oil, so their high-fat intake is basically zero, and when they come to the port of Vostochny to enter the purification camp, there is hardly a fat one. And now the chefs in the canteens of various departments in Dongfang Port are basically not Tang Shuai or Tian Hua's apprentices, and the oil habits that these two veteran chefs developed in the old world can be called luxury in the eyes of the naturalized people, so even if these naturalized chefs have tried their best to save fat and use, there are still many meals in the canteen that can be called high-fat food, so many naturalized people who do not need manual labor positions have begun to have a tendency to become fat.

"The shop over there is lit up!" Jacqueline's eyes lit up, and she pointed to a shop in the distance and said, "Is there anything to buy there?" ”

"It's best to buy things during the day," Xiao Jing hurriedly said, "A lot of things can't be seen clearly under the lamp at night, and if you buy them back and look at them again at dawn, they are often two things, and your mood will be greatly affected." ”

In fact, that store is indeed a grocery store, but it is a commodity transaction, Xiao Jing didn't expect that the store is not closed yet, he has already seen that there are staff members packing up things and counting samples, it is estimated that he is also preparing to get off work, if he takes Jacqueline in now, it is not that he can't buy things, but he really doesn't have many things to buy. Girls tend to be very good at these things, and if they go around there for a while, it might be eleven or twelve o'clock, so they simply find a reason to prevaricate.

Jacqueline sighed, because of her status, she almost never went out to buy things by herself, and often asked the maid to go out to buy. Moreover, there are only a handful of shops that can sell things in Haicheng, and the goods are pitiful, so she doesn't have many opportunities to go shopping, let alone have shopping experience. Although she couldn't understand what it meant to look at it at dawn now, it must have made sense, so she didn't insist on it anymore. Besides, it was Xiao Jing who invited him to come out today, so let's see where he can take him, with his aristocratic status, he shouldn't do anything that doesn't fit his identity, right?

The knot is far from being ghostly and hated by the cold knot the most

Jacqueline's heart is actually a little fluttering now, as a Medeno nobleman and a princess, she is now alone in one of the cities in a state of war with the Medenor. And one of the supreme leaders of the Chinese people sat beside him, and he could only let the other party drive him forward, and he could only hope that Xiao Jing would not be unfavorable to him, and at this time, Jacqueline had already begun to regret that he agreed to come out with Xiao Jing.

The car is driving on a wide road, and although there are street lights on both sides of the road from time to time, due to cost considerations, the street lights do not use gas lamps for lighting, so kerosene lamps are mainly used. You must know that at the beginning of the battle to defend the port of Champong, there are still many gas lamps used in the roads of the Oriental Port, although the cost is a little higher, but the roads of the Oriental Port are illuminated, but with the large-scale expansion of the Oriental Port began, the new street lamps were replaced with kerosene lamps, and many veterans expressed great dissatisfaction with this design method, calling it "the reversal of history". But in Jacqueline's eyes, it is good to have light in the night, like the Father guiding the lost lamb, and with light it can deter evil. So as long as there was light on the road, she wasn't too nervous.

The wheels ran over the hardened pavement and drove out of the business district to near the Oriental Harbor Farmers' Market, where Jacqueline was startled by the sight. The ground to the west of the farmer's market was lined with railroad tracks, and with a gas lamp, a long line of steel vehicles was slowly approaching from a distance, with a large chimney at the front of the car, and the smoke was spewing out thick smoke, and the smoke was accompanied by many flames, which at first glance looked like a devil living in the chimney. Behind the front of the car are many carriages, which are of different colors, some are the color of ordinary wooden boards, some are painted, and some of the windows reflect the light, which is supposed to be glass as a window.

The train slowly pulled into the platform and let out a long hissing sound that made Jacqueline nervously cover her ears with her hands. Xiao Jing explained a little embarrassed, "I'm really sorry to let you be scared by this." ”

"Is this a messenger of the devil?" Jacqueline asked nervously, Xiao Jing hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, this is our means of transportation, just like the car we are sitting in now, this is the train." ”

"Trains?" "Yes," Xiao Jing nodded, "This is the Dongfang Gangxi Train Transfer Station, this is the last train from north to south today, and the workers who live in Beiqiaotou Town will take this last train home, and then take the train to work tomorrow." ”

As long as it wasn't a demon, although the sound and sight of the train as it came scared her, the current situation made her feel familiar.

Several doors of the train carriage were opened inward, and a crowd of people poured out of the carriage and filled the platform at once, and the crowd was walking towards the sides of the platform. At the same time, the gates of the station opened, and the same crowd poured out of the waiting hall and lined up at the door of the carriages. Each person held a small piece of paper in his hand, and a person standing at the door checked each piece of paper before allowing or not allowing the person to enter the carriage.

Sun Ke's hatred is cold, and hatred is far away

The accumulation of human body fat was not an easy task, and before coming to Dongfang Port, the naturalized people could hardly consume carbohydrates, except for rice and flour products, and only some potato tubers were left to eat. And because the amount of food is not enough, they also don't have much surplus food to feed their livestock. Without the animal fat that livestock can provide, and there is not much vegetable oil, so their high-fat intake is basically zero, and when they come to the port of Vostochny to enter the purification camp, there is hardly a fat one. And now the chefs in the canteens of various departments in Dongfang Port are basically not Tang Shuai or Tian Hua's apprentices, and the oil habits that these two veteran chefs developed in the old world can be called luxury in the eyes of the naturalized people, so even if these naturalized chefs have tried their best to save fat and use, there are still many meals in the canteen that can be called high-fat food, so many naturalized people who do not need manual labor positions have begun to have a tendency to become fat.

"How many people can a train like yours carry at a time?" Jacqueline became interested, Xiao Jing said with a smile, "It depends on how many carriages are hung, like the six ordinary carriages pulled by this train, each carriage has ninety seats, which can transport five hundred and forty people who are sitting, and the aisle can also stand people, about one carriage can carry about one hundred and sixty people at most." In addition, there is a luxury car at the back, which has 68 seats, and the luxury car does not oversell seat tickets, so this train can carry about 1,000 people at most. ”

Xiao Jing's eyebrows fluttered when he spoke, full of pride in the crushing of science and technology, in front of the natives, the train is a very terrible black technology. At this moment, the naturalized staff on the platform waved small flags, and some people held iron horns and shouted, "Be careful, don't cross the stock road, there are truck aisles!" ”

In the distance to the north, Jacqueline saw a star-like point of light heading towards her, and as the distance closed, the spot turned into a spot of light, and the spot of light turned into a pillar of light. At this moment, she realized that this was also the light illuminated by the gas lamp, the light approached quickly, and the mechanical sound came with it, and soon she saw clearly through the street light at the level crossing, and it was also a locomotive, and the locomotive looked the same as the passenger car she saw just now, but the carriage pulled behind had no lights.

The truck approached, and by the light of the street lights, she saw that the compartment of the truck was completely different from the compartment of the passenger car, and the compartment of the truck was full of steel, stones, and bags of things, she couldn't understand it, and asked Xiao Jing for advice.

Xiao Jing glanced at it and replied lightly, "Those are all cement, which should be used to pave roads." ”

"What is cement?" Xiao Jing glanced at Jacqueline helplessly, Jacqueline couldn't help but be stunned, that kind of expression was very familiar to her, it was the kind of expression of "how could you not know", but she really didn't know, so Xiao Jing had to talk to her about what is called cement.

As he spoke, the wagons whistled and whistled past the platform. The crowd on the platform has quickly completed the action of getting off the train, and the attendant standing at the door of the carriage is now closing the door. After a while, I saw smoke spewing from the front of the bus, followed by the sound of a steam whistle, followed by the rhythmic sound of the front of the car, dragging the bus car and began to drive along the tracks towards the south.

Xiao Jing sped up the speed of the car a little at this time, drove through the level crossing, and a brightly lit market appeared in front of him, which was Xiao Jing's destination - the farmers' market.

As the name suggests, the Oriental Port Farmers' Market is the largest agricultural market in the Anyun area, where major crops and agricultural products such as livestock and eggs are traded. Because the Oriental Port needs the people of nearby states and counties to provide the Oriental Port with the supply of agricultural products, especially meat and egg products, the farmers' market does not collect taxes, and even the stall management fee will not be charged. But like all farmers' markets in the Old World, as long as no one manages them, the vegetable sellers will throw away the garbage at will, and in the first two months of the market's operation, the entire market is full of sewage and garbage, and it stinks everywhere you go.

Soon this terrible situation was brought to the attention of the health department, and it was not long before an epidemic prevention team was stationed directly in the farmers' market, and all livestock and poultry had to be inspected by the epidemic prevention team before they could be sold, and if they did not pass, they could not be sold in this farmers' market. This administrative measure was naturally opposed by the local natives, you must know that raising a pig or even raising a chicken at this time is definitely not an easy task, and the cost of breeding is quite low. However, once the epidemic prevention team detects parasitic epidemics and other livestock will be killed and inactivated on the spot to prevent infection of other livestock or humans, such an order is well understood by the patriarchs, but in the eyes of the natives, it is simply a violent thing, even if they compensate for their losses, they are very resistant to this practice, and sometimes even dig up the deeply buried livestock carcasses at night and sell them to the nearby county town of Anyun.

However, this behavior finally came to an end after two consecutive outbreaks of swine fever and three chicken plague in the vicinity of An Yun, because the work of the epidemic prevention team was in place, and there was no outbreak of any plague in the entire Dongfang Port area.

Another advantage of their right to speak is that the sanitation of the farmers' market is much better, the epidemic prevention department has implanted the concept of hygiene into everyone's life concept by distributing leaflets, holding lectures, and using microscopes to show sellers the terrible number of garbage and sewage germs.

Of course, Xiao Jing took Jacqueline to this farmers' market not to buy agricultural products, after the establishment of the farmers' market in response to the Senate's call for "active nightlife", a small night market was established outside the market near the current railway station, the main purpose at that time was to let the naturalized people not go back to sleep after dark, so that everyone can also enjoy the beauty of the nightlife, and increase the chance of male and female naturalized people meeting to spark, but now the small night market has slowly expanded into a night snack street.
