The construction of Tianjin City is decent, and only four city gates are opened. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Tianjin City began in the period when Emperor Yang of Sui excavated the Grand Canal, and initially only had a bazaar at the mouth of the Sancha River of Jingang Bridge, known as Sanhui Haikou in history, and was the earliest birthplace of Tianjin City. During the Tang Dynasty, Tianjin became a waterway wharf for transporting grain and silk from the south to the north. The Jin Dynasty set up Zhigu Village in Zhigu, and later set up Haijin Town, which became the northern grain transshipment hub. In the second year of Jianwen in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di led his troops to cross the river through Zhigu to seize the throne of his nephew, and set up a guard in Tianjin in the second year of Yongle, and set up a left guard in Tianjin in the following year, and added a right guard in four years. In the ninth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, three guards were in one.

It was not until the third year of Yongzheng that Wei was changed to a state, and in nine years it was promoted to Tianjin Prefecture, with six counties and one state, and the six counties were Jinghai, Qingxian, Nanpi, Yanshan, Qingyun, and Cangzhou, and one state refers to Tianjin.

Since the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Tianjin has been established for nearly 500 years.

For hundreds of years, Tianjin city as the north-south traffic point, many buildings have extremely high value, in the east gate, there are more than 500 years of history of the Confucian Temple, the temple is less than 50 meters apart in front of the temple, there are two tall archways, one is written on the Depei world, one is written on the Taoist temple ancient and modern. These eight big characters are written in a square and dignified manner, and I don't know which ancient person wrote them.

Outside the east gate is Shuige Street, and there is a Tianhou Temple on Shuige Street that has been built for more than 500 years.

Due to the large number of grains by sea, there are always many ships subverted and sunk every year, and Tianjin is the end point of the Cao Yun, and it is the wharf that is transferred to the inland river to load and unload the grain, so Yuan Taiding three years, the emperor ordered to build the Tianfei Palace near the Sancha River wharf, which was later renamed the Tianhou Temple, for the boat owners to worship the sea god Tianhou. Since then, the Tianhou Temple has been extremely full of incense, and the boat owners have to come here to pray, and people from near and far often come to pray for blessings.

Nanmenwai Street extends to the south to Haiguang Temple, where the earliest modern industrial Tianjin Machinery Bureau of the Qing Dynasty is located.

Tianjin Machinery Bureau was founded by the Minister of Commerce of the Three Mouths in the sixth year of Tongzhi, mainly to produce ammunition and munitions, and later Li Hongzhang took office as the Governor of Zhili and the Minister of Beiyang Commerce, and transferred Shen Baojing from the Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Bureau to Tianjin Prime Minister's Bureau, the scale of Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau expanded rapidly, and the ammunition and weapons of the Huai Army were mostly produced here. The funds of the Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau are allocated by the Tianjin and Yantai customs all the year round to pay 40% of the foreign tax, which is almost 300,000 taels per year. Later, 10,000 yuan was allocated every year from the Northwest Frontier Defense Department of the Ministry of Households, and then foreign medicine was allocated from the Navy Yamen as a subsidy.

The Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau is divided into two bureaus, the east and the west, and the west bureau in Haiguang Temple mainly manufactures military equipment, artillery shells and shipbuilding.

The Eastern Bureau was further east in Jiajiagu, where gunpowder, guns, bullets, and mines were mainly manufactured. In addition, there are also Beiyang Naval Engineer School, Beiyang Mine School, and Beiyang Telegraph School in the East Bureau. There is also a mint in the East Bureau, which mints Guangxu money, and at this time, the silver coins made in the Qing Dynasty that circulated in the market were also minted here. Because the Eastern Bureau was far away, Qin Chuan did not go over to inquire.

There is another thing that surprised Qin Chuan, that is, according to Li Mingfang, this Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau actually built an underwater machine ship in the 14th year of Guangxu, that is, in 1888. According to Li Mingfang's account, Qin Chuan believed that it was a submarine.

According to Qin Chuan's memories in his previous life, the modern submarine in the true sense only appeared in France in 1863, and the British only built the first heat-engine-driven submarine in 1879. At this time, Western countries are also in the process of exploring submarine construction, is this Beiyang Machine Bureau really capable people? It is not inferior to the West in the field of submarines?

Qin Chuan was very skeptical about this.

On the north side of the west gate, there are two mosques in the Ming and Qing dynasties, covering an area of more than 2,000 square meters, and the two mosques are mostly Hui residential areas near them, among which the Peking University Temple also has the couplet written by Li Hongzhang: the upper link is: "The kite flying and the fish leap are all wonderful." The next link is: "Jun Ju Hong's rules are strict." ”

Li Hongzhang's font is square and smooth, and the pen is sharp and round, Qin Chuan stopped to watch it for a long time. It is said that seeing words can read people, Qin Chuan also wants to use the font on Li Hongzhang's couplet to see how Li Hongzhang is? It's just that his calligraphy skills are too bad, and he can't see any taste, but he just thinks that Li Hongzhang's words are upright and atmospheric, and the structure is rigorous, and then he knows that the font in which Li Hongzhang writes the couplets is a line of calligraphy, and he can't see anything else.

Outside the north gate of Tianjin city is Hebei Daguan, it is said that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, crossed the river here, which is the Tianjin of the Son of Heaven, and the name of Tianjin is derived from this.

From Tianjin to Beijing, you have to go out of the north gate to cross the river, and go north along the canal through Xigu and Dingzigu, so the street outside the north gate is called Jingshi Avenue. There are three pontoon bridges on the Haihe River, and the pontoon bridge in Beidaguan is commonly known as the North Pontoon Bridge. There are also two pontoon bridges, one is the Xigu pontoon bridge, and the other is called the Yanguan pontoon bridge that connects Tianjin City and the Yanguan Hall on the east bank of the Haihe River, and the Yanguan pontoon bridge is also called the East pontoon bridge or Menggong Bridge.

The official silver number is located in the northeast of Tianjin City, in addition to the official silver number, there are many large and small silver money shops, and there are five or six pawnshops.

The northwest of the city is mainly where all kinds of temples are located, there are not only the Fangsheng Temple, the Land Temple, the Fire Temple, the Wenchang Palace, the Lu Zu Hall, and even the Sanyi Temple, the Sun Palace.

The Yide Wang family, one of the eight largest families in Tianjin, is on the needle market. This street is full of people, not only go to the temple to worship the Buddha, but also dye shops, pawnshops, cloth shops, tailor shops, shoe and hat shops, grocery shops, and the shops selling snacks and pastries are almost one by one.

After turning around for so long, Chu Yunfei has been bored and followed behind the two of them silently, Chu Yunfei was not interested in the allusions and anecdotes that Li Mingfang told Qin Chuan, he regretted it a little, he had known this, it was better to stay in the factory and help the workers in the workshop transport the fabric cleaning equipment.

But as soon as he arrived on this needle market, Chu Yunfei came to his senses, and his eyes were almost too busy to look left and right.

Qin Chuan didn't notice the change in Chu Yunfei behind him, because at the corner of the street, a bun shop with a black lacquer plaque of the Jude attracted Qin Chuan's attention.

Tianjin City has turned more than half a circle, restaurants, steamed bun shops have seen a lot, to Qin Chuan the deepest impression, is that the steamed bun shop in Tianjin City is not ordinary, almost that street has it, what Defa into a bun shop, Bao Fa into a bun shop, Yihe into a bun shop, Tianli into a bun shop, Fu Ji into a bun shop, Enyude bun shop, Enyuan de mutton bun shop, and a door face restaurant called Lin Fengyuetang also hung the guise of a bun shop, but the bun shop with a plaque, Qin Chuan is the first time to see it today.

Seeing Qin Chuan's thoughts, Li Mingfang explained with a smile: "The owner of this Jude steamed bun shop is named Gao Guiyou, his milk name is Gouzi, the steamed buns he made are steaming when they just come out of the cage drawer, and they look like budding autumn chrysanthemums in the mist. ”

"This Jude bun shop is now the big guy is not called so, because the noble friend is called the dog, his business is booming, the guests call him he can't hear, the guest jokes with him that he ignores people, and then the big guy is called Shunkou, this Jude to a few people called, all call this Jude a dog and ignore it."

"But I didn't expect that this came and went, and somehow the name of the dog ignored the buns spread to the capital, and the Queen Mother Lafayette of Beijing City also specially called him to Beijing City, and made a few drawers of steamed buns outside the Forbidden City for the eunuchs to send in, and the Queen Mother Lafayette said yes after eating. Because of the queen mother's stubble, now in Tianjin Wei's bun shop, only his family is hanging a plaque. ”

Goubuli buns Qin Chuan has not only heard of it, but also eaten it, of course, it is not in Tianjin to eat authentic goubuli buns. Qin Chuan asked the price, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old man told Qin Chuan that there were six buns in one drawer and ten copper plates in one drawer.

When Qin Chuan turned around and wanted to leave, he found that Chu Yunfei's eyes were staring at a small steamed bun that had just been opened, and Qin Chuan couldn't help but smile in his heart.

"After all, he's still a half-grown kid from the countryside."

"Lao Li, you tell the shopkeeper to ask him to send us ten drawers of steamed buns to the dyeing factory at night, and let Yunfei, Yuntao, Sister-in-law Wu, Sister-in-law Qin, and Yunfei's two little apprentices taste what this goubuli bun tastes like."

The two children of the Qin family have been very familiar with Chu Yunfei these days, and the two children are not only reading and reading with Xu Zichuan in the dyeing factory school in the morning, but also pestering Chu Yunfei and Shi Feng to teach them martial arts, calling one of them the master and the other the little master.

"By the way, Lao Li, when we see this Tianjin Wei's famous snacks, you can buy some and let them send them to the dyeing factory in the evening."

When Li Mingfang took out the money, he also saw Chu Yunfei's appearance, shook his head with a smile, and gave the guy two more copper plates, and after explaining to the guy, the three of them went back to the street.

Qin Chuan was chatting with Li Mingfang while watching in the noisy crowd, and suddenly Chu Yunfei, who was following behind the two, said "Huh", with a very surprised feeling. When he looked back, he saw Chu Yunfei's eyes widen with excitement, staring closely at the window of a bun shop.

Qin Chuan followed Chu Yunfei's gaze, and saw that in the kitchen of the bun shop, a fat man with a strong figure stood in front of a wide board full of minced meat, holding a sharpened boning machete in each hand, like a drum, waving the boning knife up and down quickly with both hands, and was chopping up and mincing the meat filling of the big board.

Li Mingfang pointed to the strong man who chopped meat and said: "The owner, this is also a must for our Tianjin Wei, this steamed bun shop is called Sancheng Steamed Bun Shop, he is the shopkeeper here called He Jihan, who will chop meat with a knife with one hand and two hands, and can chop hundreds of catties of meat a day."

Li Mingfang pulled Chu Yunfei by the hand: "Don't look at it, the owner still has something to do, you will go back to the dyeing factory after we finish the transfer." ”

Although Chu Yunfei was still a little reluctant, when he thought that Qin Chuan had an agreement with someone at noon, he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he had to retract his gaze with difficulty and continue shopping with the two.

Along the way, what 18th Street twist, Yangcun dried cakes, cornmeal stalled pot, as well as the Dafulai pot cooked in a special marinade, as well as Luohan tripe, paste skin is fragrant beans, nuts in the shop Amber glass peanuts, milk melon seeds, five-spice pine nuts, as well as Wuqing tofu shreds, Jixian sugar fried chestnuts, donkey rolling, big nose roast chicken, Zhimei Zhai baked cakes with sauce beef, assorted preserved fruits and so on more than 20 kinds of famous snacks. With the matter of the dog ignoring the buns, Qin Chuan had a little more thought, and bought some of almost everything, and he didn't need them to carry it back anyway.

The only thing Qin Chuan didn't let Li Mingfang buy was fried grasshoppers.

Deep-frying grasshoppers is to remove the wings and legs of grasshoppers, put them in boiling oil and fry them until the color is golden and put them in a clay pot with soy sauce, vinegar, shredded ginger, shredded green onions and minced coriander.

The business of this small shop fried grasshoppers was so hot that there were several tables on the street outside the door, and a dozen diners sat around the tables and chewed on them. Qin Chuan really didn't expect that in Tianjinwei, an avant-garde place that pioneered the "foreign atmosphere" in the north, the people here were willing to eat locusts?

This made Qin Chuan feel a little sick to his stomach, seeing that Chu Yunfei also felt the same way, Qin Chuan took the initiative to pull Li Mingfang over quickly this time.

Li Mingfang knew that many outsiders didn't dare to eat this fried grasshopper, so he just smiled and didn't make a sound, and after walking a short distance, Li Mingfang pulled Qin Chuan to a small shop with the window open on the street.

Li Mingfang knew that Qin Chuan was happy today, and his capable owner, after all, was just a big child, and he had been in the dyeing factory for so long, he was willing to make Qin Chuan feel happy, and when he returned to the dyeing factory, there were countless things waiting for him.

"Owner, look, this is Tianjin Wei's famous ear and eye fried cake."

When Qin Chuan looked at it, the so-called ear-eye fried cake was actually not small, the size of a child's fist, and somehow it came up with such a name?

The guy behind the counter also smiled and introduced: "Guest officer, our ear and eye fried cake, the skin is golden, crispy and not gentle, the core is sweet and not greasy, and the taste is very good, I don't believe you can buy some and go back to taste it, and keep it for you to come to visit our small shop next time." ”

Without waiting for Qin Chuan to ask why this fried cake that seemed to be very good-looking, why did it have such a name that couldn't match the eight poles of this fried cake, Chu Yunfei behind him laughed out loud.

"Uncle, is such a big fried cake still called ear eye fried cake? How can human ears and eyes be so big, I think this fried cake should be called donkey ear eye fried cake. ”

Chu Yunfei's words not only made Qin Chuan and Li Mingfang laugh out loud, but the young guy behind the counter couldn't help but hold his stomach and laugh.

Li Mingfang couldn't hold back his laughter, waved his hand and slapped Chu Yunfei.

"You bastard, you speak with some virtue. Let me tell you, it's called Ear Eye Fried Cake, not because of its size, it's because this Fried Cake Shop Liu originally opened this fried cake shop, which was at the mouth of the narrow Ear Eye Hutong outside the North Gate, and was jokingly called Ear Eye Fried Cake by the big guy. ”

Laughing and laughing, this ear and eye fried cake still has to be bought, Li Mingfang paid for it again, and sent it to the dyeing factory at night.

Seeing that he walked to the corner of the street, a sound of "woo, woo" attracted Chu Yunfei's attention, and as soon as the whining stopped, there were bursts of applause from the crowd。。。。。。
