(Today's New Year, I wish you all a happy new year, all the best, good health, and family reunion!) ）

Lao Wang breathed a sigh of relief with some satisfaction, and then wiped his hands covered with oil and sweat with the towel on his left shoulder. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info was busy for a while, feeling a little happy, watching her daughter bring out the last dish ordered by the guest.

Near the point of dinner, there are full of diners sitting on their own fish steaks, although there are no food stalls in this place, and even the fish steaks of Lao Wang's house cannot be called food stalls, but it is also necessary to queue up to eat at Lao Wang's house.

Because Lao Wang himself has no ingredients, every time he and his daughter go to the nearby fishermen to buy fresh seafood, so the daily dishes and food are limited, often everyone in order to taste Lao Wang's craftsmanship, only early reservations.

Lao Wang is just an ordinary person, and no one can afford to offend, but fortunately, there are no picky and difficult people around. Everyone came just to taste Lao Wang's craftsmanship, Lao Wang was a little extra happy, since he opened here, not only life has improved, but also let more and more people know themselves, as a former chef, this is the greatest glory.

The weather is nice today! The sun is very comfortable after the rain. The sea is also calm, with a continuous water village on the left, and a small sea area on the right is some small wooden boats and bamboo rafts from nearby families. Everything is peaceful and natural, even if there is a small newly built village on the shore, but those families will rarely come up to Lao Wang's fish row.

There are a lot of people who go to sea every day, and the seafood in the sea is also abundant in this era, but there are relatively few people who go to eat seafood, after all, there are mostly salty seafood, except for those who have no money to buy a ration of salt, and those who are bitter in order to make a living, usually a little rich people are proud of eating freshwater fish.

Lao Wang didn't care about this, in his heart, as long as it was edible ingredients, he could make a lot of delicious food. It's getting late soon, and many people are enjoying the shade on the huge stone-piled dock on the left side of the water village, and after a tiring day, many people are leisurely relaxing their bodies under the noses of the soldiers patrolling the pier, or lying or sitting on the stones.

Lao Wang looked at these people who were close in front of him, and felt some emotion in his heart. I've been living here for almost two years and I've adapted to life here. Watching this place slowly be built, it seems that all this has become an important part of my life. Looking at the harmonious environment around him every day and doing what he loves, Lao Wang feels very satisfied, and it seems that there are many people who come to taste his food today.

As a chef, an imperial chef who served the royal family of Fujian that day! Lao Wang has had his own glory. Although Lao Wang never talked about his past with the people around him, because of the habit of his career since he was a child, he still chose the job he was good at to make ends meet.

Now Lao Wang is called Lao Wang, he forgot his name, and he never told people his original name, he asked people to call him Lao Wang. Just like Lao Zhang and Lao Liu, ordinary and casual, he is called Lao Wang! The people around him also called him Lao Wang.

The Fujian State fought for power and lost the country, and then the warlords fought, and the Southern Tang Dynasty took the opportunity to invade, and Wu Yue Kingdom also came to get a piece of the pie. In the end, the remnants of the Qingyuan Army were in power, and the most bitter were the common people of Fujian. In order to avoid the war and avoid becoming a slave of the aristocracy, Lao Wang was displaced and survived, and wandered all the way to the Han Kingdom, which was also near the sea.

Although the Han Kingdom lived far away in Lingnan, its long coastline was the same as that of Fujian. Moreover, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the economy and people's livelihood have been developed, and all places have been open to the outside world, so the prefectures and counties near Xingwangfu are relatively wealthy.

When the current emperor was still the crown prince, he boldly implemented the national policy to benefit the people and took in the displaced people from various countries who had fled the famine and taken refuge. Exempted from paying taxes for three years for people living in Han who came across the border. Not to mention the support of the domestic people, even the people who have recently relocated to develop wasteland, that is also grateful to Dade.

On the same day, Lao Wang hurriedly fled from the Fujian Kingdom, survived all the way along the coast, and naturally encountered the Han State to conquer and stay in effect. In the end, only a dog, a set of tools for cooking, a young daughter, and a bamboo raft tied by himself came to the Great Han Kingdom, and stopped in the sea near Zhenzhou, on the edge of this quiet sea called Zhenzhou Bay.

It's an excellent haven with deep waters that can anchor large ships; It also has a quiet sea, which is conducive to the cultivation of various ships. Therefore, in recent years, the naval army of the Han Kingdom has been rebuilt and expanded, and it has been decided through the permission of the Xingwang Mansion. Nowadays, a large dual-use port has been established here, not only to build a large-scale naval water village, but also to open up a small sea area for civilian berthing.

Nowadays, on the edge of this coast, near the direction of the water village that stretches for two or three miles, many supporting houses have been built, which can not only supply the daily needs of the water army, but also allow the surrounding people to have a way out. Because people know that it is relatively safe to have a naval army stationed, and if there are merchant ships entering the port, they must need all kinds of trades, because it is very likely to become an important foreign port of the Han Kingdom.

At the same time, the yamen at all levels of the ship market also actively planned, and at the beginning, many large commercial houses and wealthy merchants in the Han Kingdom were allowed to invest, that is, foreign merchants established commercial banks here, and of course, the Han Kingdom also gave them a lot of preferential treatment. Therefore, in the position of the coastal near the water village, it is separated from the water village by the mountain, less than 500 meters away from the water village, and in less than half a year, a street dominated by dozens of shops has been established, forming a village and town integrating market and residence.

Lao Wang had no money, so he could only watch when he concentrated on building houses. The land was controlled by officials of the Han City Bo Division, and the cost of building the land was levied in the name of the state, so ordinary people could not build houses there.

But he came to settle early, and when the Great Han Kingdom decided to build a port here, he had already built a floating bamboo and wood fish steak in the water near the sea of Zhenzhou Bay. So in any case, he still lived in the local area, and even if the port was built, it didn't drive him away. Later, he kept saying that the emperor of the Han State was good, if he was in another country, this was a matter that was not discussed, and the government directly drove away these ordinary people who were in the way.

Usually the fishermen in the vicinity come and go and get acquainted with Lao Wang, when he is not busy, he often comes to sit in groups of three or five, and Lao Wang has also become an old resident here before the establishment of the water village and the wharf, and they are real neighbors.

Lao Wang's fish steak is usually mixed with bamboo chips and hemp rope to form a thigh-thick giant rope, which is very strong, reliable and safe. The whole big fish raft is tied with more than 10 of these giant ropes, and it is tied to four big trees with six or seven people on the shore, so that even if the sea tide rises, there is no need to worry, and it is safe and reliable.

The fish steaks are also tied with several layers of old bamboo, anyway, the bamboo on the mountain does not cost money, and the layers of tied racks are tied into a floating fish steak. The fish steak alone is nearly half a meter high, and it is safe and secure to soak in the seawater.

Lao Wang built two small thatched huts on the fish rafts, which were the homes of the father and daughter to shelter from the wind and rain. Later, a so-called kitchen was built to facilitate Lao Wang's own operation, and it was very convenient to start the fire with dry firewood and branches sent by people nearby.

Although the fish row is firm on the shore, it is estimated that it is troublesome when it is windy and rainy. So in the spare space on the table, Lao Wang tried to only set up four tables, and that's it. The fish raft is connected to the shore and is a raft made of bamboo, which is convenient as a way to go up. It doesn't matter when the tide is not high, you can also use a raft to row up when the tide is high. Although it is simple and not many people can see it, this is Lao Wang's home and the place where he lives.

Because they live by the sea, some of the fishermen nearby are very familiar with Lao Wang. Seeing that fishermen often had a lot of seafood that they couldn't handle, Lao Wang moved the idea of cleaning up. What's more, he also likes the comfort here, and the two of them usually eat these foods, and they also change the tricks for others. What's more, after some people have tasted Lao Wang's seafood, they have praised Lao Wang's craftsmanship, and Lao Wang's business has been endless.

Lao Wang's daughter Xiaoyu is seventeen years old this year, for this war-torn era, it has long been the age to start a family, but Xiaoyu said that he wants to take care of Lao Wang, Lao Wang's temples have turned white, he knows his daughter's mind, but there is no way to be stubborn about Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu has a healthy complexion of coastal people, a slender figure and flexible manners, a pair of dark eyes, and a slightly upturned mouth when smiling at people, which makes people feel very comfortable and cute.

Lao Wang usually cooks seafood, and Xiaoyu is responsible for washing vegetables and cleaning up things. The father and daughter lived a peaceful and ordinary life. Just like today, Lao Wang is very satisfied. The four wooden tables were full, and some of them were even more crowded, and everyone didn't mind, they were all regular customers.

Looking at the few people at one of the tables, they still had empty seats, but they seemed to be a little special, and no one went to squeeze them. There was a rare smile and happiness on Lao Wang's face, they were regular customers who had come frequently during this time.

A table with its own binding, with a top made of bamboo on a hillside along the coast, and a table without legs. Because the table legs are all discarded tree roots, they are nailed together with the tabletop, and they are light and a little clumsy when placed on the bamboo row, which shows a bit of charm.

A few ordinary people who can't be more ordinary, a teenager who ties his hair back casually, always shows a faint smile at people, he has a figure that is rare in southerners. Lao Wang knew at a glance that he was definitely not an authentic southerner, because there were few people with such a tall stature in Lingnan.

But his skin is as healthy as his daughter Xiaoyu, but he doesn't look like a person who does hard work, to Lao Wang's surprise, this young man speaks fluent Mandarin, but he rolls up his trouser legs and drinks the most fruit wine in the south with him, hooking his shoulders and eating the seafood he makes. He is a big fan of the seafood he makes, especially the steamed panfish and prawns.

Seriously, this teenager was noticed by Lao Wang, and there is also his pickiness about his diet. The first time he served fish steak to eat seafood, Lao Wang noticed that he was different. He proposed to himself to use garlic paste to bake the prawns, changing his own traditional boiling technique.

Xiao Yu was a little unconvinced by this young man's suggestion to himself, so he made a bet with him! It was the young man who asked Lao Wang to bake the shrimp with garlic, and if Lao Wang said it was delicious, he would eat it for nothing on the fish steak for three days. If Lao Wang said that it was not delicious, then the young man apologized to Lao Wang and lost half of the money.

It sounds like Xiaoyu will definitely win, and the half-hanging money is definitely not a minority at this time, and many diners on the side were present at the time, knowing the bet between Xiaoyu and this teenager. However, after Lao Wang tasted the taste of the shrimp, he was surprised to leave the boy to taste the various seafood he made. Naturally, Xiaoyu lost, Lao Wang has his own arrogance, and it is impossible for him to help his daughter tell lies for the sake of his livelihood. And this incident also made many people comment on the anecdote, and many old diners were surprised.

After two days, Xiaoyu and the boy were very familiar with each other, because the boy was not annoying, and Lao Wang liked him very much. What especially makes Lao Wang appreciate is that the young man is not alone, he is followed by five friends. But every time they ate together, they paid as usual, but the teenager would laugh and deduct his share. He smiled and said to Xiaoyu that he would eat for nothing for three days!

Lao Wang smiled, he was rarely so happy to see Xiaoyu, because this boy seemed to be about the same age as Xiaoyu. Although, there were two women in the young man's group, and Lao Wang knew at a glance that they must usually be the kind of pampered people, although they are dressed plainly, but their temperament and demeanor cannot be hidden.

Today is the last day of the boy's white meal, because it is dinner and the last meal, and the sun is about to set. Because Xiao Yu saw that the dishes on each table were ready, Lao Wang also stopped, so he came to the young man's table as always.

"Hey! If you eat this today, you won't come tomorrow! The girl's straightforwardness and sincerity made her smile a little picky, looking at the teenager who occupied a seat on the side. I don't know why, a faint sense of loss inexplicably rose in her heart.

The young man was eating with relish, and when he heard Xiaoyu's words, he smiled on his face. Seeing that he did not speak, Lao Wang also walked over. The people who saw this table all looked at the young man, but they didn't speak, which seemed a little strange. Lao Wang is also somewhat knowledgeable, and when he saw that the people on the side seemed to be headed by a young man.

Who knew that at the table next to him, there was a diner who often came to eat, a merchant from the capital who specialized in collecting dried seafood. He sat opposite and saw the truth, Xiaoyu bet that he was also there that day, and couldn't help but coax: "Yo, Lao Wang, your girl is looking for Xiao Langjun!" ”

The people at the next table laughed together, and everyone had almost eaten and almost stopped to watch the excitement.

Xiao Yu's face was even redder, and she was very familiar with these people, so she couldn't help but glance at everyone angrily, but she looked at this young man again, as if she wanted to wait for his answer. Everyone on the side cheered and laughed even harder.

The young man also laughed, and watched Lao Wang come over, regardless of the oil in his hand, he couldn't help but pull him to sit down beside him, and poured him a bowl of fruit wine. Then he glanced at Xiao Yu and smiled, and said lightly: "Thank you for Lao Wang's delicious food and Xiao Yu'er hospitality these days, a certain family misses Lao Wang's craftsmanship every day!" I really have some thoughts that I can't get enough of. But because a certain family is in Xingwang's mansion, it may be necessary to return after a while, in order to thank the old king for his hospitality, I have prepared a small gift for you! ”

He raised the wine bowl to salute Lao Wang, who saw his sincerity and couldn't help but happily raise the bowl.

I saw a sturdy young man sitting on his left hand, although he was dressed ordinarily, but he was not angry and arrogant, probably because of his appearance, many people did not come to squeeze the table. From a bulging cloth bag beside his leg, he took out a clay altar that was taller than a foot. Respectfully put it in front of Lao Wang, Lao Wang looked at the young man with a hesitant expression.

The young man smiled slightly, looked at the little fish with some lost eyes, and said softly: "Don't be nervous! He knocked on the mud seal at the mouth of the tile altar, carefully pulled out the wooden cork at the mouth of the altar, and a faint smell of sauce came.

Lao Wang became nervous, stood up suddenly, stared at the mouth of the altar with his eyes, kept sucking his nose, and said hesitantly: "This is the expensive old soy sauce on the market!" ”

The young man nodded and said with a smile: "A certain family tastes delicious food here every day, but I still feel a little regretful, Lao Wang, your oil is the seller's repeated dilution of light soy sauce, and the taste of the oil is too light." This is a jar of soy sauce puree produced by Beijing Yufang, I hope to make your future delicious more attractive! ”

The dry goods merchant who began to coax on the side also seemed to be nervous, and actually took the initiative to rub over, regardless of the young man's table, the sturdy young man stared at him. When I saw the boy pour out a small half bowl of oil with an earthen bowl, it was as rich as sauce and deep red and transparent.

couldn't help but say: "Sure enough, it's the authentic imperial oil!" A certain family has been running goods all the year round, in order to make the life of the family better, because after tasting a delicious meal in the capital in the past two years, the family must also prepare some. But that is, during the New Year, it will be sold for two or three taels, and a little bit of cooking is used when the family is reunited, and this altar is sold for five taels in the imperial fang! Lao Wang, this young man is not a dowry! ”

The people at the young man's table sat in Lao Wang's residence, and the people who ate on the side were all of different identities, and everyone heard the dry goods merchant say this, and they couldn't help but come together to see what such a delicacy was like. As for what he said about the dowry and the like, many people ignored it.

Lao Wang trembled and picked up a piece of fish meat on the plate with chopsticks, and gently dipped it in the small tile bowl, not eating it immediately, but put it in the empty bowl next to him, sandwiched two small pieces of fish, poured some fish soup and mixed the meat. He just picked up a small piece of meat, put it to his nose and sniffed it, and then gently put it into his lightly opened mouth in anticipation.

The person on the side seemed to be more nervous than Lao Wang, watching him hold it in his mouth for a few seconds, Fang chewed lightly, slightly closed his eyes and looked calm. Just when everyone's hearts were hanging in their throats, Lao Wang's face relaxed, and the folds on his face seemed to be squeezed together, nodding incessantly.

"Good! It's really extraordinary! Well, what a beautiful condiment! He opened his eyes and stared at the young man: "This old soy sauce will give it to a certain family!" His eyes seemed to be a little excited, and he looked at the young man's eyes tightly, as if he was afraid that the young man would regret it, and he couldn't help but feel a little entangled in his heart.

The young man smiled and said: "Before you came to eat the fish steak for nothing this afternoon, a certain family thought that this thing was prepared, and at this time, in front of many friends, how could a certain family lie." He couldn't help but glance at Xiaoyu, and said to Lao Wang: "Lao Wang's cooking skills should be the first along the coast, a certain family ate for three days in vain, and Mengxiao Yuer does not give up or bother, every day fruit and wine are complementary, there is no way to repay, only to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, I hope that Lao Wang will not shirk!" ”

Where will Lao Wang refuse, there must be no one here here, and his head will be kicked by a donkey to excuse himself. During the reign of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, a bucket of rice was sold for only five yuan, and usually one tael of silver was equivalent to 1,000 yuan (consistently). It is the price of rice in the late Tang Dynasty, according to today's rice price of 1.5-2 yuan, which is equivalent to one tael of silver is equivalent to almost more than 2,000 yuan.

It was the chaos in the world at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and iron money was minted everywhere to deal with it, and there were four or five hundred separatist forces for one hanging, and seven or eight hundred for one hanging. However, the Lingnan Liu Dynasty was in the hands of Gaozu Liu Yan, and it minted two batches of copper coins several times, but they were all based on one thousand, so the coastal areas all knew that the Han Kingdom was rich. And this teenager is so generous, no wonder the dry goods merchant is joking.

Because in this era, a well-off family gets married, and it is enough to run about three times. And this young man is five taels of silver at a time, just imagine who is not moved here. After all, Lingnan's money is indeed worth more than other places, and it is almost the same as that of the late Tang Dynasty!

Lao Wang Baobao hugged the tile altar like a baby, and the little fish on the side looked at the young man with a complicated expression. But seeing that the young man poured out the small half bowl of oil and handed it to the dry goods merchant who was watching with a blank eye on the side, Lao Wang seemed to have some pain in his flesh, but surprisingly did not squeak. The dry goods merchant thanked him repeatedly, but immediately shared the leftovers on his table with a few tables of people.

Xiaoyu seemed to be in a trance, and he didn't know what Lao Wang said, but he saw a large number of people coming from the shore, although they were all in strong suits, and they all carried knives in their waists. The people on the fish steak dispersed after seeing the nest, and the young man and his group also bid farewell to Lao Wang.

Some of the generals in the water village will sometimes appear, Xiaoyu has seen it from afar, these people are swaggering with weapons on the shore, and no one cares about the water village, you must know that this is a military place, obviously they know each other.

Xiao Yu didn't know what the boy said to himself, so he stuffed something into his hand, Xiao Yu was confused, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that the young man's figure had disappeared on the other side of the dock, and it seemed that he had gotten on a big boat. Xiao Yu was stunned and saw Lao Wang standing beside him. Quietly looking at himself with concern.

"Little fish, you have grown up, hey, if you ,,,,,,! How could it be! But ,,,,,, good for you, too! But looking at a small fish woven with pearls tightly in Xiaoyu's hand, Lao Wang looked at the dock and said lightly: "It's okay, I can meet him in the future!" ”

At sunset, the sea was flooded with golden waves, and an emaciated fisherman girl stood quietly on a fish row.

The young man walked to the small building ship by the dock, and couldn't help but look back at the fish row in the distance, and could vaguely see the figure of a girl.

Those plainclothes men with knives cleared all the people next to the ship, and there were only five people around the young man, all of whom were on the fish raft. A general in armor on the other side of the ship's tread walked over quickly and saluted the young man.

The sturdy young man who accompanied him got on the boat first, and the boy came aboard without words. Everyone and his party went directly into the hall in the building, which was arranged as a large hall, and at this time seven or eight people were sitting on both sides, and when they saw the young man coming in, they got up and saluted.

The boy walked straight to the main couch, where the two women sat beside him. The young man glanced at everyone, smiled slightly, and his gaze fell on a young man on the right. "You are the tiger shark that Tingcheng praised!"

The young man's eyes were a little excited, and he pulled a beautiful young woman beside him and saluted the young man together: "A certain family is the colonel under the general's seat, He Xiaoyao, who led the order to bring his son Chen to see Your Majesty!" It turned out that this young man who was full of vitality was He Xiaoyao, a tiger shark who was famous in the open sea, and the young woman beside him was his wife Chen Jiuniang.

The young man on the seat was none other than Liu Jixing, the emperor of the Han Kingdom, Liu Jixing looked at He Xiaoyao and laughed, and actually got up and came over to support He Xiaoyao. He Xiaoyao was even more excited, he originally thought that following Captain Karma was to be a pirate in the open sea, but he really didn't expect Captain Karma to be a general of the Han Kingdom.

As a result, He Xiaoyao was appointed as a lieutenant by Captain Karma, who had the right to dictate his own rights, and usually led a building ship combat unit. The last time he attacked Xianyunzhuang, in the end, the Zhangwu army temporarily compromised and withdrew from supervision. Captain Qiang Ke didn't know what to say to Ma Yuxuan, and Yan Liehou finally compromised and gave Xianyunzhuang to Captain Karma.

Chen Jiuniang was unwilling to give up He Xiaoyao, although He Father disappeared and did not know what the final grievances between the He family and the Wuyi Sword Sect were, but she decisively chose to follow He Xiaoyao. As the head and father, Chen Dubiao had no choice, so he had to hold a wedding for the two of them in Xianyunzhuang.

To He Xiaoyao's surprise, the Wang Lu beside Chen Dubiao was actually a figure from the Great Han Kingdom, and he was a more trusted figure under the emperor, and he was sent to contact various factions. He actually persuaded Chen Dubiao not to interfere, as for Chu He's people, as soon as the stolen king Qi Yu made a move, he was completely shocked.

In the end, Xianyunzhuang became the base of the Pacific pirates, and Captain Karma brazenly repaired the military base, and even stationed a pirate army of 500 people.

He Xiaoyao came back to land from the open sea this time, and he was ordered to return. He had already heard a lot about the Emperor from Captain Karma. But I didn't expect to see Liu Jixing and I was very surprised, because Liu Jixing was too young, and He Xiaoyao was surprised to find that he couldn't see through the emperor's cultivation.

Liu Jixing laughed: "Captain! What a lieutenant! Based on your Tiger Shark's achievements and deeds, I should personally make you a general! ”

The general trend of the world! Will the future development and the trend of the times be as the original track? No one can prove anything, and no one can be sure of anything, for Liu Jixing, the original little advantage is to know the direction of history. So Liu Jixing doesn't want to destroy anything, but just hopes that at a certain critical point, he can take advantage of the situation to push history forward, and it seems to be in control at this moment!

If the future of the history of the Central Plains had developed according to the original history, it would have been clear to us long ago. If you want to follow your expectations for the future, you must make a good layout. Since he possessed Liu Gang and returned to Xingwangfu from Shi Zhenren in Luofu Mountain, he began to lay out within his ability. Because I want to play a good game of chess, the next game of chess that belongs to my own era. Regardless of success or failure, there are some things you must do.

The things that have been planned in advance, the people who have been arranged everywhere, seem to be unrelated, but now it seems that everywhere will be closely related. All the overall situation is in his heart, Liu Jixing is extremely confident that he will eventually change history.

Although I didn't do anything deliberately, because all this has inevitably changed after I joined. Liu Jixing knows that his emergence has irreversibly changed the pattern of this era. Liu Jixing is looking forward to it in his heart, and he is even more excited to have his own joining in this era.

Whip the horse and point out the country, what a fascinating thing! In this era of infinite variables, opportunities and inaction coexist, as long as you give something, there must be a reward that you yourself can't predict.

Whether it is the old dead mountains and forests, or the smell of the rivers and lakes, it seems to lie in a thought!
