Chapter 117: Salmon Island beyond imagination

(Thank you for the reward, thank you!) In addition, it is about to be put on the shelves, and the time will become more and more tight, so it is urgent to recruit a deputy moderator, and students who have time and interest in participating in the management of the Muzi book review area can apply! )

Qiu Shengong sat in the best Phoenix Mountain Restaurant on Shamen Island, looking at the delicacies served by the guys one by one, full of color, flavor and taste, although he had also desperately changed back to the position of a general, but this kind of banquet was the first time to eat.

"Eat, eat." Li Jing raised his chopsticks and put a golden goose leg in front of him, and Lao Hei took it. The goose leg is fatty, especially this is still roasted by the Phoenix Mountain Restaurant with a secret recipe, and even the wood of the roast goose is specially selected lychee wood used in the south, and many layers of sauce and honey are coated on the goose leg when roasted. The color of this goose leg is golden and brilliant, the entrance is oily but not greasy, crispy and honey, as if it melts in the mouth.

A goose leg, Lao Hei almost shed tears.

Thinking about the days of most of his life before, and then looking at the goose in his hand, he was full of emotion. Looking up, I saw that the other old brothers in the restaurant and the family members of the people were all like hungry ghosts released from the hunger prison at this time, all of them buried their heads in eating violently, like the wind and clouds.

"Why, this dish doesn't suit your appetite, why don't you eat it?"

"General, it's delicious, I've never eaten such a delicious dish before. I'm just afraid that I will never forget the taste of this roast goose in the future, so I simply don't eat it, eat less, and maybe I won't remember it so deeply in the future. ”

"Hahaha!" Li Jing and the others couldn't help laughing, this old black word was too funny. "Just eat, follow me to work hard, in the future, we will eat fragrant and spicy food, and eat goose legs every day until we get tired of eating." In the future, eat goose legs in two portions at a time, and eat one and keep one. ”

Zhang Chengzong also smiled: "Follow our general, you don't have to think about these little things in the future, you have to look at it a little bit." Our generals are willing to serve large pieces of meat and rice all day long to the homeless. You are also an officer, and it is difficult to follow the general, and I am afraid that I will not be able to afford to eat a goose leg. ”

For this meal, Qiu Shengong ate ten big goose legs alone. The goose leg is worthy of being one of the signature dishes of Phoenix Mountain Restaurant, and the price is 100 wen each. When checking out, Lao Hei found that he had eaten 1,000 yuan in one meal, and his eyes were round in shock. For 1,000 yuan, you can buy five buckets of good white rice, and replace it with old corn, which can almost make half a stone. The other dishes are not cheap, and dozens of people directly ate fifteen yuan for this meal.

After eating, Lao Hei insisted that the other brothers take people to unload the goods on the ship to the dock warehouse, but Li Jing refused, but he was very persistent. After the last disaster, Li Jing had to let him go, anyway, there were not too many things. He pulled Qiu Shengong and packed a table of good noodles from the restaurant, and went to their temporary residence to visit the two wounded soldiers.

Not far from the wharf, at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, there is a row of low seaweed shacks. In the cold wind, the wind was blowing, as if it could sweep away the shack at any moment. Lao Hei pointed to the shack: "That's it, after falling out with Feng Liang and his gang that day, I took my brothers to leave Shamen Fort and ran to the dock to get work, so I set up some shacks here temporarily." ”

At this time, a few coughs suddenly came from a shack in the middle, and a voice came out: "Lao Qiu, are you back?" ”

"Lao Qian, Lao Tian, I'm back, see what delicious food I brought you back. Let me tell you, it is the best banquet in the Phoenix Mountain Restaurant that you have never seen in your life, let alone eaten. Guess what other guests I brought back? ”

The straw curtain on the shack was lifted, and a man with a thin appearance and a ring of gauze wrapped around his head greeted him. Li Jing entered the house and found that there was a strong smell of Chinese medicine in the house, and there was no furniture, and there were a few wooden planks spread on a few stones in the small shack, which was estimated to be the bed of a few people. The bed was covered with dry straw and a thin quilt. In addition, all that remained was a simple pot stove made of a few stones by the door. It's so late, the stove is still cold, and I'm still waiting for someone who goes out to get some food.

On the way here, Li Jing had already heard Lao Hei say that the two injured were also soldiers. One is his deputy head Qian Laosan, and the other is Wu Changtian Laoqi, both of whom are rough men who don't have a big name. One of the two people injured his head and the other injured his leg, and they have been recuperated for a long time, and they have not yet recovered from the lack of medical treatment.

Qian Laosan and Tian Laoqi didn't care who came before, they were all hungry at home for a day, and when they saw the good table they brought back, they had already started, and while eating, they listened to Lao Hei tell them what happened before. When they were halfway through the meal, they were surprised when they heard that it was actually the new town general and his four family leaders. There was still a lot of food in his mouth, and he had already hurriedly got up to salute Li Jing.

Li Jing hurriedly pulled them: "You are injured, this is not in the barracks, there is no need to be so polite." Both of them are good men and are not afraid of bullies, which is really admirable to Ben General. What I admire most is a man like you, and I am very fortunate to be your boss. If you don't dislike it, we will be brothers in Pao Ze in the future! ”

There is no arrogance in these words, and the two are completely treated as brothers, Qian Laosan and the two are only the lowest soldiers, where have they usually experienced such a situation, and their good impression of Li Jing has skyrocketed, and they have completely agreed with this new boss in their hearts.

Qian Laosan said with a smile: "When it comes to martial arts, I can only fight three or five at most, but Lao Hei is very powerful, and one can fight at least seven or eight." I heard that when I was in southern Xinjiang, a Mo knife on the battlefield split five southern barbarians and three horses in a row, and all of them were split in two! Damn, if it weren't for Lao Hei's absence that day, his mother's surname would be another twenty, and it wouldn't be our opponent. ”

Lao Hei brought a few small wooden rafts from outside for Li Jing and them to sit on, shook his head and smiled: "Lao Qian, they know how to fight and kill, and they never want to, if no one supports us, even if we beat Feng Liang, what if we beat them?" ”

"Now we don't have a general as our backer, let's go back to the fort now, and we have to clean up the things on Donkey Day this time." Tian Laoqi held the plank between one leg, half leaned on the bed, and said hatefully.

Li Jing listened to the indignant words of a few rough men, and smiled silently. He got up and went to Tian Laoqi's side, and carefully looked at his legs, it is said that his legs were directly discounted at that time, and Lao Hei invited a doctor to show the dressing, and also made a subsplint fixation. After reading it a few times, the doctor's technique is good, the leg bones have almost regrown, and there is no deformation, carefully maintain for about half a year, and then do physical rehabilitation, it can still be restored to its original appearance.

"Your legs are fine, but you need some nutrients, and you have to prevent the invasion of foreign evils. After a while, we will go to the dock to invite a better doctor to come and change the medicine for you, change the medicine a few more times, and then prescribe some tonic medicine, and will raise it for a few days, and it will be a good man. ”

Qian Laosan's head injury is almost good, but he has suffered a serious head injury and still needs some time to recuperate.

Several people laughed when they heard it, and they were in a good mood. Qian Laosan and Tian Laoqi even shouted that Lao Hei would buy some wine to celebrate! After instructing the two of them to recuperate at home, Li Jing went out of the shack with Lao Hei, preparing to go to the dock first to ask a doctor to come over and help them prescribe and change the medicine.

The sun is twilight, and the sky is nearly dusk.

After walking a short distance along the foot of the mountain, the front suddenly opened up, and suddenly there was a lively scene, like a metropolis in a mirage. Just now, the wharf was already lively, and many warehouses, shops, and restaurants could be compared with this side, but they were still a lot worse.

At dusk, the jade street in front of me winds along the foot of the mountain and the coast, and there are ten miles of long streets. The streets are ten zhang wide and are all paved with bluestone slabs. On both sides of the street, there are rows of shops, and the rows of green banyan trees in front of the shops have been lit up.

Li Jing stood at this high end of the long street, looking from afar, as if a Milky Way was reflected in front of him.

How is this possible? There is no such prosperity in Dengzhou City.

Lao Hei saw Li Jing's expression and smiled, anyone who saw this street for the first time would have such an expression, especially at night on this street, which was even more charming.

"General, this is the most lively and prosperous place on Salmon Island." Lao Hei pointed to the long street, "This street is called Heavenly Street, Heavenly Street is caused by Phoenix Wharf, but Phoenix Wharf has also become the first port of Salmon Island because of Heavenly Street." There are 999 shops and storefronts on Heavenly Street, and all kinds of businesses are available here, all-encompassing, and all-encompassing. However, the most are green houses, inns, taverns, teahouses, restaurants, gambling stalls, pawnshops, and then gold, silver and jade, antiques, calligraphy and painting, tailors, grain, rice, cloth, slaughter, meat, wine, and other industries. ”

"This street under Phoenix Mountain is called Heavenly Street, and Salmon Island is also known as Sea Fairy Mountain. Does the general know how big the Da Xie Island is where the Da Xie City is located? The two islands in the north and south together are 20,000 acres in size, which is ten times the size of our Shamen Island. But the South Island of Da Xie Qi is very prosperous, and there are only more than 20,000 people. But does the general know how much the perennial population of Salmon Island is? ”

"How much?" Li Jing was whetted for it.

"At least 30,000, like the many caravans that are now mostly parked in the Pond Bay, the number of people on the island has increased a lot. If it is in June, July, August and March, when there are many storms at sea, there are more merchant ships who come here to take refuge, and the number of people can reach 50,000 at the most. It was not only a haven for sailors and sailors, but also a summer resort for many merchants and officials. ”

Li Jing thought thoughtfully, "But just like that, I'm afraid that the little Shamen Island can't be so prosperous, right?" Whether it is the north and south long islands of Daxie or the large and small black mountain islands of Montenegro, any one can replace it. Presumably, there are some other reasons why Salmon Island is so prosperous today, right? ”

Qiu Shengong glanced at Li Jing with some surprise, his eyes full of admiration. Nodding his head, he said, "The general is right, because Salmon Island is still a center for the northern smuggling trade that has been jointly opened up by all parties!" ”
