Zhuhu Farm is right next door to Hanchuan Farm.

Of course, this is next door, and it certainly doesn't mean that the distance between the two places is really as close as "next door". It took about three or four hours to walk from Hanchuan Farm to Zhuhu Farm.

Wang Shuhui did not take the car. After staying at Hanchuan Farm for a day and a night, Wang Shuhui, who had accumulated half a book of investigation materials, set foot on the next destination, Zhuhu Farm, with a few guards.

Like Hanchuan Farm, Zhuhu Farm is also a closed structure. In order to enter the farm, you must still show your ID and sign for registration. It's just that unlike Hanchuan Farm, it may be that the young cadres in the communication office are not as bright as the head of Xiaohou of Hanchuan Farm, or they don't have any special understanding of the documents of the central organs, anyway, after he looked at Wang Shuhui's documents and checked the documents of several soldiers' Central Guard Corps, there was no violent reaction.

After leading Wang Shuhui and his entourage to the guest house in the east building of the farm department, and after arranging everyone's accommodation, Xiao Zhou, a cadre of the communication office of Zhuhu Farm, left. From the analysis of the situation he just saw in the communication office, Wang Shuhui felt that this young man named Zhou Jun might be in a hurry to go back to the office to review the materials. It seems that this young man wants to take the junior high school certificate exam.

No one pays special attention to himself, which is a happy thing for Wang Shuhui. When he originally went to Hanchuan Farm, he didn't want to disturb the local cadres, and wanted to see the original ecological situation of the place for himself.

Because he didn't want to eat cold potatoes, Wang Shuhui decided to go out to eat with a few guards.

Although the street of Hanchuan Farm is not as prosperous as that of the city, the street where the farm is located is still very prosperous, such as various restaurants and grocery stores. However, Zhuhu Farm is not as lively as Hanchuan Farm. Not only is the street deserted, but even on the street where the business is concentrated, the shops are generally empty.

After walking back and forth several times on this street of about 200 meters, Wang Shuhui and his party found an inconspicuous small chaos stall in the corner.

This kind of food stall is very common in Wuchang and Jingzhou. The standard light meal carts produced by the Baath Party factories are selling very well in the cities where they are based, and they have even been sold to the Jiangnan area.

The wooden frame structure is covered with iron sheets, and on top of it is a smooth countertop made of wood and covered with iron sheets, and between the two stoves is a wooden board. Underneath the two stoves are two stoves burning honeycomb coal. On the stove sat two large iron pots. One iron pot has chaos soup boiling in it, and the other iron pot has boiling water in it. Put the wrapped chaos in the fence, cook it in a large pot of boiling water, put it in a bowl of soup, sprinkle with some chopped green onions, and a bowl of hot chaos is good.

Wang Shuhui's original amount of food was not small, because of the long-term radiation of the space-time gate, his body had a lot of mutations, and the amount of food became larger. So he couldn't eat enough of the chaos in the small bowl at all. For this reason, he and several of the guards chose differently, he asked for noodles that were easier to eat and more abundant.

The noodles soaked in the chaotic soup are generous and delicious. After taking a few sips of soup, Wang Shuhui was very good at tasting the taste of mutton bones and shrimp skin in the chaotic soup. It's really rare to see such a careful chaos soup.

After eating up the noodles in the bowl of the sea in two bites, taking out a few cold potatoes and peeling them off and soaking them in the chaotic soup, Wang Shuhui began to chat with the little boss with a northern accent.

"Boss, eat your noodles, and you can taste your soup with great care. With such good craftsmanship, why isn't the business so lively? ”

Originally, seeing Wang Shuhui take out his own dry food to eat, the owner of the stall was still a little dissatisfied, but after listening to the praise and affirmation in Wang Shuhui's words, the little boss was still very happy.

His attitude was a little enthusiastic, and he didn't see the expressions of a few guards and soldiers change all of a sudden, and he didn't have the eyesight to go to the other side of the stool where Wang Shuhui was sitting, and chatted with the guests.

"That's exactly what the guest said. When I was a child, I originally made a living in Wuchang City. However, in the past few years, the business of Wuchang City has become more and more difficult, so he has been ruthless to make a living in the local area. Who would have thought that the local business would not be as good as the business in Wuchang City. ”

"Oh? Isn't it now that the Ba'ath Party is sitting in Wuchang. I heard that the people's livelihood under the rule of the Baath Party seems to be better than before, why is the business in Wuchang City not doing well? ”

"What the guest officer said is layman's words." found that Wang Shuhui seemed to be very talkative, because the business was cold and he couldn't get anything to say, the stall owner was also interested in chatting.

"The people's livelihood under the rule of the Baath Party is indeed better than in the past when the Ming Dynasty was in the past. Without the exorbitant taxes and the oil of the errands, business is indeed easy to do. But this business is good, and everyone has to go into business. In the same business, there are more people doing business, and it is not easy to do good business. ”

"I, a foreigner who came to Huguang from Beizhili to join my family, wants to grab business with the locals of Wuchang Mansion, which is very difficult. Let's just talk about a purchase channel. Locals in Wuchang Province have Ba'ath Party hukou, and with their hukou and proof on the street, they can get goods from Ba'ath Party grain stores at a bargain price. I, a person without a hukou, can only go to the market to buy the high-priced goods in the grain stores of the Jiangnan merchants, how do you say I can grab business with the locals in Wuchang Mansion? ”

Baath food controls are indeed very strict. Grain could enter but not leave the territory of the Ba'ath Party, so people who did not have a hukou could only buy grain from grain stores run by outsiders. That price is dozens of times more expensive than the grain that locals with hukou buy from Baath Party grain stores.

"I've heard that it's not difficult to get a household registration in the Ba'ath Party's government. As long as there is a certificate from a local, it is fine. You're here to join your relatives and ask your relatives to write you a certificate that you won't be registered with the Ba'ath Party and be able to buy local food? ”

Because Wang Shuhui specially wore a simplified Ming Dynasty-style semi-short gown produced by the Baath Party Garment Factory, this stall owner was much more bold to speak. He whispered to Wang Shuhui:

"Listen to the accent of the guest officer, look at the dress of the guest officer, the guest officer is not a local, right? Is the guest officer an old customer who comes from other places to buy goods? Hehe, I know that the Baath Party's goods are sold all over the world, and the prices are scary. However, the purchase in Wuchang is certainly not as cheap as the local purchase, and you will see that it is a good way. The price of cotton cloth in Xiaogan is cheaper than that in Wuchang, do you always want to go to Xiaogan to buy? ”

"You've got a good eye." Wang Shuhui said casually.

"I see that you are not a local, and you are also from the north with an accent, so the little one always tells you the truth. What the guest officer said was good. But then again. Nowadays, as long as you are a discerning person, you can see that this Ming world is not good. But we small people don't see any general trend. ”

"After all, the imperial court is the imperial court, and although the Baath Party is now sitting in the world of Hubei, in the final analysis, they are engaged in the business of rebellion. I'm an outsider, and I don't want to be involved in this. ”

"Besides, although the imperial court is not good, the imperial court is not so strict under the rule of the Baath Party, is it? I inquired very clearly. It is good to be under the rule of the Ba'ath Party, but the Baath Party is very strict. From home to outside, there is nothing that the Baath Party does not care about. Let's talk about my relative's house. It is true that the Ba'ath Party has given rice rations to the elderly in his family every month, but none of his children have been left, and they have all been taken away by the Baath Party. ”

After further lowering his voice and looking around, he cautiously said to Wang Shuhui:

"Isn't this what storytellers call 'protons'? When the Ba'ath Party raises an incident, the people under the Ba'ath Party's rule, whether they are soldiers of the Ba'ath Party or not, will be anti-thieves all the way! ”
