Chapter Seventy-Two: The Cinnabar Mole and the White Moonlight
On the twenty-eighth day of the winter month, Xingang Wharf looked much more decent than three months ago.
Nearly a kilometer of breakwater has been repaired, and the ships moored in the pier finally have a calm harbor.
Standing on the pier and looking north, the most eye-catching thing is the two rows of tall warehouses with blue bricks and black tiles, which are the goods warehouses of the Tamna Chamber of Commerce. The construction site behind is busy, and there seem to be several rows of warehouses under construction.
If Fort Newport is the brain of Newport, then this warehouse is the heart of Newport. Once it stops suffocating, Xingang City will lose its value.
In order to prevent the Tamna Chamber of Commerce from having too much influence in the local area, Tang Youde ordered the security of the warehouse area, which was taken care of by the city hall security team. Today is the day of warehousing, and there are many Li Chao security guards around the warehouse, wearing gray cotton robes, dogskin hats, and jujube sticks around their waists, leading wolf dogs to patrol around, and no one is allowed to enter.
On the wharf, the third-generation large jib crane invented by Zhang Jian is ready. This type of crane has a sturdy tilting cantilever with a pulley at the top of the arm that can be both lifted and rotated. It can also use the lever principle to easily lift the goods that the original workers could not move. This crane crane produced by Jiangnan Machinery Factory has been widely used in the construction site of Jiangnan embankment.
And these behemoths that look like trebuchets are the 'Popeye' dock cranes specially made by Jiangnan Machinery Factory for loading and unloading cargo ships. Although it has various drawbacks, such as being too cumbersome, unable to move after fixed installation, and requiring at least 10 people to operate at the same time, it can significantly improve work efficiency.
With the help of a shipload that could be unloaded in a day by a hundred dock workers, it can be unloaded in a morning, and only forty or fifty people are needed. This makes all of its faults tolerable. In addition, the berths for unloading goods on the dock are fixed, and there is no need to move the crane after it is installed......
Under the protection of the guards, Zhao Gongzi stood on the first pier, admiring the busy scene in front of him.
Who would have imagined that half a year ago, this place was just a barren place?
This kind of pleasure of 'the goddess should be safe and sound in the world' made him intoxicated and felt doubly refreshed!
Watching the workers shouting the trumpet, using a crane to lift thousands of catties of goods from the ship, the boom rotated, and slowly put the goods on the shore, Zhao Gongzi couldn't help but sing:
"Look at the pier, it's magnificent. Mechanical platoon riverside platoon. The big crane, it's amazing, tons of steel, it grabs it lightly and gets up......"
Hearing this, Sister Qiaoqiao behind him looked puzzled, and asked Sister Ma on the side in a low voice: "This is the seaside......
"Childe said that it was by the river, and he has his own reason, just listen to it." Sister Ma coughed lightly. Otherwise, why is she a work secretary and Qiaoqiao a life secretary?
"Oh." Qiaoqiao hurriedly stopped, she rarely followed Zhao Hao out today, lest she embarrass him.
At this time, a galleon with the same flag of the sun and the moon slowly sailed into the dock. Immediately after that, one after another, a huge fleet of ships appeared in front of their eyes!
"It's coming, it's coming!" Tang Youde hurriedly ran over to report: "Childe, our Royal Shipping fleet has entered the port. ”
"I saw it, I saw it." Ma Hongliang...... Oh no, Zhao Gongzi came back to his senses and looked at the boat in front of him with a smile.
At a glance, he saw Chen Huaixiu on the deck, wearing a navy blue hooded suede cloak and a light blue collared jacket. Chen Huaixiu also saw him at a glance, first covered his mouth in disbelief, and then waved his hand at him in surprise.
Zhao Hao also waved happily, seeing that although Sister Huaixiu's dress was still very plain, she had obviously walked out of the dead silence of the surviving person. What a gratifying ...... Oh no, I'm so happy for Sister Huaixiu.
Then I saw Chen Huaixiu suddenly turn around and say something. After a while, a tall figure appeared on the deck like a whirlwind.
I saw that the girl was wearing a dazzling red and white down satin cloak, and inside it was a peach-colored gown. In this monotonous winter day, it is like a budding red peony, so bright and outstanding, eye-catching. As soon as she appeared, she was surrounded by foils.
"Bright Moon!" Zhao Gongzi screamed and hurriedly waved his hands to greet her.
"Brother Zhao!" Li Mingyue, the county lord of Lanling, put his hands to his mouth and shouted excitedly.
"Bright Moon!" Zhao Hao also put his hands to his mouth and responded loudly.
Before the words fell, he saw another slim figure appear in front of him. I saw that the girl was wearing a snow-white cloak and a white fox shawl, standing there with her hands in her heart, looking at him stupidly, holding her heart in her hands and crying and unable to speak.
As soon as the white peony appeared, it divided half of the color of the red peony......
"Uh, Xue Ying is here too? Hey, why are you crying, don't cry, don't cry......" Zhao Gongzi's smile turned into a smirk, and the whole person was dumbfounded. When he reunites after a long absence, he is overjoyed to see each other, but if he sees them together, he may not be twice as happy, or he may be twice as frightened.
God is pitiful, if he knows that they are both on this boat, wouldn't it be good to pretend to be sick?
"Oh ......" Seeing that the son's cinnabar mole and the white moonlight came together, Secretary Ma gently covered his forehead, both of which were big for the son's head.
The so-called two tigers fight, there must be an injury, I don't know which one Zhao Gongzi plans to hurt today?
'There's no good idea?' Even Qiaoqiao was worried about Zhao Hao. But she also knew that she had better watch quietly, it was not something she could mix.
~~
Suddenly, the big ship docked, and the dock workers skillfully pushed the gangway.
The atmosphere on the dock was quite eerie, and everyone held their breath, not knowing what to put on an expression.
Not to mention Tang Youde and Ma Xianglan, even Gao Wu and the guards, they all know the status of the two eldest ladies on the ship, one red and one white, in the mind of the son.
The future housewife must have chosen one of the two, how dare they show the slightest expression of gloating optimism and watching the show, don't they want to mix?
However, they all underestimated the pattern of the two girls, how could they let the people below see the jokes?
The two of them, who had been openly and secretly showing signs before, did not fight for priority when they got off the boat, but walked down from the boat amiably hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder, like a lotus.
Staying at the dock, the two of them let go of their hands and greeted Zhao Haofu together.
"Meet my brother!" A sound like a yellow warbler out of the valley, a kite crying phoenix, crisp and bright.
"Brother, Hailful." A sound like rain hitting plantains, the stream gurgling, gentle and beautiful.
The eyes of the two looking at Zhao Hao were generally blazing, and they also implied anticipation.
It's indisputable, but what girl doesn't want him to respond to herself more specially?
Everyone turned their heads away, but they couldn't help but glance at Zhao Gongzi secretly, wanting to see who he responded to first, and who was more special to him?
Who is Zhao Gongzi? How can you not know that hesitation will lead to defeat, and decisiveness will be given in vain?
He showed the most heartfelt and hot smile, and naturally stretched out his left hand to Li Mingyue.
At the same time, he stretched out his right hand to Jiang Xueying.
Then he gritted his teeth under the stunned gaze of everyone, and at the same time hugged his cinnabar mole and white moonlight tightly, and neither of them let go.
"The breeze and the moon are still there, and the plum blossoms are breaking through the snow to welcome you. Xue Ying, Mingyue, I miss you so ......much" At the critical moment, the bloodline of the old Zhao family was completely awakened, and he was not fighting alone!
Let her sweetheart hug her in public, and the two girls immediately had their brains shut down, so they just hugged him and wept to relieve the pain of lovesickness. It doesn't matter if it's suitable or not, will it be watched lively......
Qiaoqiao's mouth opened slightly, but he didn't expect Childe to be so bold.
Secretary Ma's starry eyes blinked, and even she didn't expect that Zhao Hao would simply serve it in one pot. Although this is a solution to the two offenses, but when it comes to the end of the pot, she suddenly thinks of the things that Childe did to herself and Qiaoqiao when he was at sea, and said in her heart that she is practicing to solve this big trouble, right?
Probably not, Childe...... It's still small.
On the gangway, Chen Huaixiu stood on his feet and looked at the three people who hugged each other tightly with a smile, but his smile was slightly sour. I don't know if it's because I think of my own life, or something else......
It wasn't until the three of them got into the same carriage that she came to her senses and got off the boat and walked towards Ma Xianglan and Qiaoqiao.
Behind him is a stunning girl in a blue dress......
"Scared, Miss Zhang is here too?" Qiaoqiao covered her mouth in surprise, and today she finally understood what Sister Ma often said, 'There are more monks and less porridge, and wolves have more meat and less meat'.
This is simple. The corners of Ma Xianglan's mouth twitched slightly, and she quickly diverted the topic and said to Chen Huaixiu and Zhang Xiaojingfu: "The two of you have worked hard all the way. ”
"It's not hard, you two are really hard, more than two months at sea, I can see that I have lost a lot." Chen Huaixiu hugged them affectionately, showing the demeanor of a big sister. It is also to make Zhang Xiaojing not so embarrassed.
She looked down on Zhang Xiaojing, and after seeing Miss Zhang return the salute to Qiaoqiao, she smiled lightly: "Miss Qiaoqiao, I haven't seen you for a long time, I am now a student of Sister Huaixiu." ”
"Huh?" Qiaoqiao was really suppressed. "Learn, learn what?"
"Learn to be a captain." Zhang Xiaojing pulled the hair on her sideburns, looked at the vast sea and said, "The world is so big, I want to go and see it." ”
"The sea, it's all water, there's nothing to see." Qiaoqiao's head shook into a rattle and said, "I've seen vomiting for the past two months." ”
"On the other side of the sea, there is always a different scenery." Xiaojing smiled and nodded at Ma Xianglan, meaning, good friend, don't demolish me.
Sister Ma nodded slightly, meaning, good friend, don't worry. You're a great trick, someone will eat this set......
'Isn't it up to you to guide you?' ’
"Give people roses, and there is a lingering fragrance in your hands......
The two made a quick eye contact, and they accurately conveyed this joy.
Seeing that the eyes of the Chen gang leader were straight, she was worried about Zhao Hao, in the future, the family will not have to fight openly and secretly, and beat out the dog's brain?
At this time, the second carriage drove over, and the four girls got into the carriage with a smile and a smile.
When the carriage drove away, Jin Xishan approached Tang Youde and whispered: "Mayor Tang, these are Zhao Gongzi's women?" ”
"Ah, what's the matter?" Tang Youde tilted his head and said, "Our Zhao Gongzi is strong and fierce!" ”
"Fierce, really fierce!" Kim Hee-sun thought so deeply and nodded like pounding garlic.
ps. I didn't sleep much last night, and I was in a bad state, so I finished writing......
