Let Shao Nian, who is here, feel very fresh about everything around him.

He looked left and right, and felt that he only had one pair of eyes, and he was afraid that it would not be enough.

"Little brother, little brother, come and eat some breakfast, hot pork and green onion buns, and thin-skinned and big-stuffed wontons made by yourself. ”

"As long as five eldest sons can be full!"

Only then did he walk to the edge of the big warehouse at Caoyun Wharf, and along the way, Shao Nian encountered two or three stalls greeting his own business.

He silently wrote down the food and trade made by these companies, and always felt that it should be useful.

Then I randomly chose a stall with the most people to eat, found an inconspicuous position, and sat down.

Coincidentally, Shao Nian found this place, facing the center of the side door used by the workers of the Caoyun Wharf to enter and exit.

When the inhabitants of this town have not yet risen, it is crowded with people, like a tidal wave.

Shao Nianshi, who was very curious about this situation, beckoned to the owner of the small shop who came to him, and first asked him for the sauce buns with pork lentil paste and freshly ground small stone ground soybean milk specially recommended by the store, and then pointed to the opposite side of the crowded and unspoken side, and asked inadvertently: "Hey, boss, what's going on on the other side? Why are there so many people?"

Hearing Shao Nianshi's question, the boss who sold another meal was in a good mood, and took advantage of the time to say a few more words to Shao Nianshi.

"Hey, the guest officer is definitely not a local, is he?

"Then you must understand the rules of our Liaocheng Caoyun Wharf. ”

"Most of these people you see are bitter brothers of the Money and Grain Gang. The remaining small part are poor people living in Yuege villages outside Liaocheng City. ”

"What about them, this is the morning market. ”

Shao Nian didn't understand and asked: "What is the morning market?"

The little boss put the pork and lentil stuffed buns in the steamer that were bigger than a fist on the plate, first served them in front of Shao Nianshi's eyes, and then continued to popularize: "This is the same as other docks listed for recruitment." ”

"It's just that this Liaocheng wharf is the territory of the Qianliang Gang, a small wharf, there are not many large companies, and big businesses are recruiting workers here. ”

"Therefore, the listing here has become the deputy hall master of the Money and Grain Gang to do the work for the business alliance of each family. ”

"Those small businesses passing through here handed over the things they needed to the hands of the three masters in charge of the money and grain gang one day in advance. ”

"After paying the corresponding hired workers, when the goods arrive or the ship arrives, the people who naturally have money and grain will organize all kinds of workers to come forward and solve the things you need. ”

"And now this morning market is a real comparison between their money and grain gang and a few small workers' gangs around. ”

"After all, the work of listing in this notary office is also a good one, isn't it?"

Speaking of which, the soy milk in the hands of the stall owner has also been beaten.

A shallow wide-mouthed bowl, with a layer of beautiful bean dregs floating on it, swirling on it, it looks quite real.

When it was handed to Shao Nianshi, he added: "If you have less work and more money, do you have to fight for it?"

"You see a lot of people now, right?"

"Then don't you look at the busiest summer day of water transportation, this dock is full of boats, and the people outside the big field can squeeze into my stall. ”

So powerful?

Then he'll have to take a closer look.

As soon as Shao Nian lowered his head when he thought of this, he began to quarrel on the big field opposite him.

It turned out that two groups of people had a dispute over a list.

The steward who stood on the high platform and held the work order in his hand looked at the excitement as if he had nothing to do.

Seeing these dozen dark-faced men, the anger between them became more and more vigorous, and when Shao Nian, who was afraid of harming the pond fish, the frequency of stuffing buns in his mouth was a little faster.

Probably seeing the young man's concerns.

The calm stall owner opened his mouth again: "Don't be afraid, the guest officers only dare to quarrel for two sentences." ”

"The rules of the money and grain gang at the Caoyun wharf, no matter how big it is, you can't do it within the scope of the wharf. ”

"If anyone dares to break this rule and affect the business of the Money and Grain Gang?"

"At the least, you will be beaten up, and you will never want to enter the dock again, and if you throw it out, you will never want to enter the dock again...... Do you see the people coming and going on the river?"

The stall owner smiled meaningfully at this, and said no more about the things related to the dock.

When Shao Nian thought about it carefully, he understood what the unspoken words of the stall owner were.

He looked towards the place of the conflict again, and sure enough, the atmosphere of gunpowder generally explodes at a moment, and the faces of the two groups of people and horses are about to collide together, but none of these dozen people have made a move.

It's like two people who are fighting, you look at something, you look at what they are shouting at each other, but they don't know how to do it, let the people around them, look, that's called a hurry.

The big rules on the dock, Shao Nianshi also understood.

He drank the soy milk from the big bowl, and then began to walk down the street with his hands behind his back.

From the beginning to the end, he discovered a particularly interesting phenomenon.

That is, there are not many serious restaurants here, and small vendors like the one he had breakfast this morning are like crucian carp crossing the river, one by one.

When Shao Nian, who touched his chin, he felt as if he had touched something.

He felt that he had seen almost, and it was time to go to the center of Liaocheng Town.

Shao Nianshi, who stood up, thanked the stall owner and left five bronze stones on the slightly greasy small table.

With his hands behind his back, like an uncle who gets up and walks in the morning, he walks in the direction of the town.

When he passed the street of his shop, he did not pass through the back door of his shop, but walked along this very narrow and chaotic alley until the other end of the street.

While traversing one small shack after another, Shao Nianshi thought that he had once again experienced some period of his childhood.

The sewage here is muddy, and the people here are staggered.

Maybe it's just four crooked planks of wood, plus a grass roof that only shelters from the wind and rain, and it can become someone's home.

At this time, a small alley with an eaves protruding and sometimes recessing into a stove did not make Shao Nian, who was already dressed decently, feel any discomfort.

He just looked at every household that lived here, and watched them get up early and busily collect the ingredients in the stove.

I asked about the smell of food that wafted around, and I remembered all the details reflected in my eyes.
