At noon, the "Black Land" Hotel was particularly busy, because it was the first day of the Spring Festival, many employees of the company also got together with friends and came to the Black Earth Hotel for dinner. The most attractive thing about the company's employees here is the original ecological characteristics.

It contains many varieties of Sichuan and Hunan cuisine, including boiled fish, dry pot chicken, pickled cabbage fish, chopped pepper fish head, back pot meat, dry pot goose intestines, spicy shrimp, Dong'anzi chicken and other traditional Sichuan and Hunan dishes. In fact, this is a specially formulated cuisine to attract the company's employees in the Sichuan and Hunan areas, and the two personal disciples of He Yuanping are in charge, although the taste is not authentic, but it is still popular with Far East workers.
The farmer's pig killing dish is very civilian, it is all live pigs that are killed freshly, and then boiled directly in the pot. Like what sauerkraut white meat stewed blood sausage, pork belly stewed sauerkraut blood sausage, pork stewed vermicelli, pig blood porridge, salt-fried meat residue, garlic white meat, fat sausage, stir-fried heart meat, braised pig tail, fried heart waist, in addition to pig ears, pig mouth strips, pig head meat, pork knuckle and pig's trotters made of zuò pickles, it is definitely a good dish to accompany the wine.
Stewed fish in a wood pot is also called stove fish, in fact, it is to put the dining table on a stove, chop firewood on the stack, and then place a large pot on it, and the river fish with the characteristics of the Northeast caught in winter, like what black fish, Ga fish, fathead fish, carp, Aohua, and expensive big fish, wash the fish and cut it into large pieces.
Then add oil to the pot, add green onions, ginger and garlic, mushroom paste, soybean paste, peanut butter, bean paste, large cooking powder, bay leaf powder, cinnamon powder, soy sauce, sugar, salt, monosodium glutamate, vinegar, and pour in an appropriate amount of stock.

Counting nine cold days, and then scalding a few pots of Far Eastern aged wine, eating this is definitely a very cool thing.
As for the dumpling series, there is no need to introduce it, Song Tao and they used to go to Liu Degui's house to eat. It's just a variety of steamed dumplings that are now large. It is much richer than before, pork, beef, mutton, seafood, river fish, three fresh, roe deer meat and other dozens of kinds, a big skin is thin, thick oil and juicy, that is called a fragrant.
The Black Earth Hotel has been open for more than a year, and not only the employees of Far Eastern Company often have dinner here, but also attract a large number of immigrants from Liaodong. The main reason is that the Tartar girls are too real, the amount of dishes is full, and the price is very fair.
Although it was the first day of the holiday. But Li Ming still worked an extra morning, and he inspected all parts of the company. At noon, Li Ming beckoned a rental carriage and drove towards the Black Earth Hotel. Song Tao notified him last night and asked him to get the position for whatever he said.
Li Ming sat in the carriage and chatted with the middle-aged immigrant who was driving the carriage all the way. In Shenyang, the company issued hundreds of bids for horse-drawn carriages to encourage immigrants to participate in the industry. The Ministry of Commerce will select a group of qualified people from among the immigrants who have signed up to engage in this industry.
For immigrants who obtain bids for the rental of carriages, the company will take out loans. They were provided with horses and four-wheeled carriages to pull carts, and they were trained uniformly. Then work with a unified certificate. However, it is not allowed to rip off passengers, merge passengers and refuse to carry passengers, and once found, it will be disqualified from operating a horse-drawn carriage.
The owner of the rental carriage was from Dongjiang Liaomin, and he was driving a car in a car and horse shop in Shenyang. When the old slave broke Liaoshen, he was arrested by the Tartars in Shenyang, and later fled with people all the way to Mao Shuai in Dongjiang, and Yuan Chonghuan was collected by the Far East when he was cut off.
He went to Vladivostok. He worked as an ordinary stevedore in the storage center, and later went to Shenyang with the storage center until he succeeded in the competition and became a taxi carriage owner in Shenyang.
After all, he has perennial sports car experience, and he recognized Li Ming at a glance as the head of the Far East. Li Minggang got into the car. He said, "Hello chief! ”
Li Ming was stunned, but he immediately understood. People say that the foot teeth of the car and ship shop, these five elements see people the most, and ordinary people can guess eight or nine as long as they pass by the eyes. So Li Ming smiled and asked, "Boss, your car is a loan, how about it?" Is there any pressure? ”
The owner of the car pulled a chief, very excited. smiled and said, "Why not?" Ever since my carriage came into my hands, I haven't been able to sleep at night. But who made me ambitious, as soon as I heard the news, my heart was like grass growing, scratching my heart and liver, and finally I went to compete. I have been working hard for ten years now, and I am content to earn this carriage for my son. In the future, when he has this livelihood, I don't have to worry about him. ”
Li Ming couldn't help but laugh when he heard the words of the car boss. He turned his head to look at the carriage, and found that it was cleanly wiped, and he had placed a small stove next to the passenger seat, which looked very intimate. Because it was a festival, the owner of the car didn't know where to get a few pieces of red cloth and tied them around the edge of the carriage, which made it quite atmospheric.
At this time in Liaodong, the weather is extremely cold. Li Ming sat in the back seat of the carriage, his face felt as if he had been cut by a knife when there was a carport to block the wind, and although there was a small stove beside him, he was also frozen and stiff. One can imagine how much the car owner who sat in front of him facing the cold wind had to suffer.
Li Ming worked overtime during the holiday today, and it was not good for the driver to work overtime with him, so he came out alone. Li Ming had never sat in a rental carriage before. But he can often see that many rental carriages have come out before dawn, isn't it just to pull a few more jobs early.
He sighed in his heart, then took out a box of cigarettes and handed it to the car owner in front of him. The other party was flattered and took the cigarette, and when he saw the brand, he was reluctant to smoke, so he took out a box of cigarettes from his cotton coat, took out one and lit it, and put the cigarette Li Ming gave him into the cigarette case. He said embarrassedly: "Chief, you are a good cigarette, I have to keep it and go home to smoke it." ”
Li Ming waved his hand, then smiled and said, "Take advantage of the Spring Festival to go home and rest for a few days, and have a good holiday with your wife and children." By the way, how is it to live every day? ”
The car boss shook his head and said: "I am reluctant to take a break during the Spring Festival, the more I live during the festival, the better, and if I am usually reluctant to take a carriage, I can sit twice during the festival." Now the daily work is not bad, and if I go to the rent that is handed over to the owner every month, how can it be better than going to work. ”
"How many babies do you have? Are you all in school? ”
As soon as he heard Li Ming ask this, the car boss suddenly came to his senses. He laughed and said: "My mother-in-law is not angry, she only gave birth to one boy, but the girl gave birth to two, haha...... Now they all go to school. Thanks to the owner, the three children in the family don't have to worry about eating and drinking Lazar, if this was put in the past, the three children alone would be enough for us, and in the year of disaster and famine, both girls had to be sold to others. ”
The carriage finally stopped in front of the Black Earth Hotel, and the owner of the car said that he didn't want Li Ming's fare. But Li Ming still took out a work ticket and forced it into the car boss's hand.
The other party took a look and saw that Li Ming was about to get out of the car, so he hurriedly said: "Chief, don't be in a hurry to leave, give too much...... I'll find you ......."
Li Ming smiled and waved his hand, then patted the car boss on the shoulder and said, "Brother, do a good job, follow us in the Far East, and there will be a good life in the future......"
After he finished speaking, he jumped out of the carriage and trotted a few steps into the Black Earth Hotel, leaving the car owner to look at Li Ming's back blankly, I don't know why, Li Ming's words made him feel a warmth in his heart inexplicably, and his body, which had already been frozen, felt hot.
The car boss silently put the work ticket given by Li Ming into his pocket, and then looked at the whip to the side, and the carriage slowly drove into the distance, and the person who drove the car was full of excitement, and he felt more rushed in his heart. (To be continued......)
