Chapter 556: Insular Traditions

Because of the complicated road conditions in Southeast Asia, Wang Yue also borrowed the meaning of "Malay Tiger" from later generations, so he provided a large number of bicycles for the Taiwan garrison.

Taipei's urban area has been planned by the starting point city, so it is relatively regular, with the government building as the center, and most of the surrounding houses are built in the starting point city, so they are relatively tall. The other streets are self-built by residents, so they are relatively low, and the streets are cement pavement, which is the cement produced by the self-built cement factory on the island of Taiwan. Keelung is building a heavy industry and energy base, which is rich in mineral resources, especially coal.

The most lively in front of the door is the department store in the starting point city, where most of the goods come from the starting point city. The prices of goods sold on the island of Taiwan enjoy special discounts, so the prices are lower than those in the Jiangnan area, so it has become the most popular place for big girls and little daughters-in-law.

Wang Yue found that although the houses were low, it was quite lively, and many women with heavy makeup were scratching their heads in front of the door, and most of them were men.

He couldn't help but think of a term in later generations, "women standing on the street", so he grabbed a passer-by and asked, "This old man, what do these women do?" Where are they from? ”

It is said that the jobs and land provided by the starting point city to the immigrants can fully guarantee their livelihood, so that they will not fall into the dust so quickly, right?

This is a young man who looks like an immigrant, seeing Wang Yue's question, he looked at a man who understands and said: "These are all Sister Yao, they are all from Dongying, who is the local to do this!" I heard that Dongying is in chaos now, and these women can't survive anymore, so they come here to beg for a living. Because I'm not a Ming person, I can't get my ID card, and I can't find anything serious to do, so I have to do this. After saying that, he walked away with his head stuffy, and his steps were hurried, and there were few idlers in the jurisdiction of the starting point city.

I see, this is also the tradition of that island nation. There is no prohibition of prostitution in the starting point city, prostitution is an ancient industry, and its existence is reasonable. It's better to be blocked, the starting point city has not yet produced a small raincoat, Wang Yue is a little worried about the infection of sexually transmitted diseases, and it seems that he has to make such a plan as soon as possible. However, since ancient times, there have been no large-scale AIDS patients in domestic history like in Africa in later generations, and Wang Yue is very curious about the prevention methods of the ancients.

Liu Ru and Dong Xiaowan, who came out with Wang Yue to collect style, had embarrassed expressions, they used to be prostitutes, belonging to the highest class, playing art, although they are different from prostitutes, they are actually classified as the same kind and have low social status.

Wang Yue snorted and said, "Hey, there's a teahouse in front, let's go sit down." ”

Taipei is a new town and all the buildings are new. This teahouse is quite distinctive, a small two-story loft built entirely of bamboo.

"Please sit down, we provide tea, side dishes, sweets, and snacks here, what do you want to order?" It was a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, with two pigtails and very bright eyes.

Wang Yue didn't expect that there were a lot of food types provided by this small teahouse, "Oh, give us one of the same." ”

Sesame sugar, rice candy, Huantuan, cross-cut, peanut spinach, fried stinky tofu...... Running water seemed to be served, and in addition to that, there was a pot of tea and a few tea cups.

Wang Yue recognized it, this is a special side dish and snack in the countryside of the Jianghuai region. Although his ancestral home in his previous life was from Bingzhou, his mother was from Luzhou, and snacks such as rice candy, huantuan, and sesame candy were usually made by every household in the countryside during the Chinese New Year.

"This little sister, where are you from? How long have you been in Taiwan? Wang Yue tasted a piece of rice candy and asked.

The little girl said crisply: "My family is from Chao County, and I have been here for more than a year. ”

That's right, these are the hungry people who migrated from Anqing.

Wang Yue saw that she was not very old and asked, "Why didn't you go to school?" ”

More than a dozen schools have been built on the island of Taiwan, basically all of which are primary schools, and children with ID cards in the starting point city are enrolled for free, and there is no distinction between men and women.

At this time, an old man walked out of the back hall, and quickly explained: "This guest officer, it's Sunday, so we don't have to go to school." ”

"Oh!" Wang Yue then remembered that today was Sunday: "What do you call it, is it the boss here?" ”

"Hehe, the old man's name is Liu Ronggen, and this small shop is opened by me and my aunt of the Zhang family." The old man rubbed his hands a little stiffly, obviously still a little unfamiliar with the identity of the boss, and then asked, "These foods are still in line with the taste of officials." ”

This is the old man Liu Ronggen who lives with Aunt Zhang's family.

Wang Yue ate the foul smell of tofu again, nodded and said, "The taste is quite authentic!" Have you not all divided the land or arranged for workmanship? How did you start a teahouse? ”

Liu Ronggen said: "This guest officer doesn't know that we and Aunt Zhang's two families are old and small, and the land can't be planted, so we only leave a little vegetable land, which we grow and eat by ourselves." Thanks to the blessing of Lord Wang Sihua, we worked for a year and saved some money, and it happened that Lao Yu used to open a teahouse in the town, so he picked up his old business and started this teahouse. ”

He said and sighed: "Lord Wang Sihua is a good official, I am old, so I won't cause trouble for Lord Wang, and I will still be self-reliant." ”

Wang Yue felt the simple side of the common people, and the prosperity of the Taipei market seemed to be what they created.

Through the window of the teahouse, Wang Yue saw a young soldier, pedaling a bicycle over, posing unusually windy and coquettish, shouting at the opposite house, and a girl immediately came out of it, jumping up and down to him, the two didn't know what to say, the woman timidly got into the back seat, a man and a woman went away in the envious eyes of people, who knows where to fool around? Wang Yue thinks it's very interesting, now is an era when you can easily pick up girls with a bicycle.

Taiwan is exuding vigor, and no matter where the Chinese go, as long as their lives are stable, they will soon be able to flourish and spread out.

"Let's go, let's go to Keelung." Wang Yue dropped the five taels of silver yuan coupons, got up and walked out of the teahouse.

"Guest officer, give too much, give too much." Liu Ronggen picked up the silver yuan coupon and caught up from behind.

Wang Yue waved his hand without looking back and said, "More is considered to reward you." ”

The sun was shining warmly, and the mood was good, so the pace became brisk, and at the end of the street, a black car was waiting there.

Keelung is about 30 kilometers away from Taiwan, and it is also a deep-water port, where a military port has been built in the starting point city, and when Wang Yue and others rushed to Keelung to visit Taiwan's heavy industry construction, the reinforcement fleet had slowly arrived.
