Chapter Ninety-Three: The Big Cauldron Dish Is Really Fragrant

Some people say that Victoria Harbour in the 50s carried the history of Hong Kong Island for the second half century.

In the era when Hong Kong Island began to gradually transform from an 'entrepot port' to an 'export port', Victoria Harbour, known as one of the world's three deep-water ports, is like a young lady waiting to be married, sitting in a boudoir, waiting for the entry of the 'Prince Charming'......

Early in the morning, the melodious whistle sounded one after another, and billowing white smoke came out of the chimneys of various ships, which was about to flourish in this era, countless goods were loaded onto the ship, and countless goods were also unloaded on the dock, including even boxes of Wang Laoji herbal tea.

Countless dock workers carrying 'work bars' are like well-trained troops, shuttling back and forth under the orders of the foreman.

Perhaps they are the most humble and low-level people of this era, but they rely on their shoulders and backbones to carry the booming economy of Hong Kong Island.

The workers also had a faction, and their arms were tied with strips of cloth of various colors, white, red, earthy yellow, navy blue......

Correspondingly, the major prefixes under Hongmen are Dongfu Gang, Xin'anyi, and Hongxing......

There may be a certain word in other ports that monopolize profits, but in Victoria Harbour there is absolutely no such possibility.

This is the busiest and largest port on Hong Kong Island, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth 10,000 dollars a day, and even the most powerful prefix does not have the strength to enjoy it exclusively.

Zhou Wenqiang mainly pays attention to the dock workers tied with white strips, even in Victoria Harbor, the number of workers with white strips of cloth is enough to rank in the top three.

Moreover, compared to the workers under the control of ordinary prefixes, the smiles on their faces are obviously brighter, and their manners are more evidence-based, which shows their strong cohesion.

Zhou Wenqiang has always thought that the white rice fish is a very mysterious person,

This big fishing family, who became Lei Luo's father-in-law in the movie, is actually the one who single-handedly created the '500 million detective', and Hong Kong and Kowloon don't want to give him face, but his real foundation is a group of dock workers holding 'work bars'.

When have you ever seen such a fisherman?

In Hong Kong films, those big fishers are all 'Radisson' in suits and leather shoes, and Baifanyu is simply the first person to be down-to-earth!

Moreover, the white rice fish has nothing to do with Hongmen, let alone the emerging word Hongxing, but with a group of 'bar heads', it has entered several large wharves in Hong Kong and Kowloon, including Victoria, the world's famous natural harbor.

Even in the port of Victoria, the power of the rice fish can be ranked in the top three.

The dock workers under him are dock workers, without the slightest gangsterism, and Zhou Wenqiang can see the enthusiasm and persistence in the eyes of these workers.

They are fighting hard for the family behind them, for their wives and children, and if anyone dares to invade their territory, their methods can be a hundred times more fierce than those dwarf mules and four-nine boys!

This is a group of 'honest people' who are powerful and have a strong temperament.

Even the most murderous bosses understand a truth, don't bully honest people too much, once honest people are in a hurry, they will really look for you desperately!

Bai Fanyu is definitely not an honest person, otherwise he would not become the mysterious big fisher in the legend of Hong Kong and Kowloon, so his means of controlling these honest people made Zhou Wenqiang even more curious.

Because Zhou Wenqiang found that the rice fish did not use any Jianghu means, but a kind of 'corporate culture' similar to that of later generations.

If it weren't for the fact that he had some understanding of the white rice fish through the movie, Zhou Wenqiang would even suspect that this guy was just like himself, and he was also a traverser......

Dock workers are somewhat similar to later generations of construction site workers, in order to be able to load and unload goods in a hurry, breakfast and lunch are generally solved on the docks, which also brings a new kind of employment, some vendors who specialize in dock meals will set up food stalls in front of the meal, providing a variety of simple and cheap food to these workers.

There are all kinds of noodles, porridge and water, and dish rice, and the taste is very average, but the amount is large and full.

But the workers of the rice fish do not eat this kind of food, they have their own dock canteen,

It is said to be a canteen, but in fact, a pergola is erected on a vacant lot, and there are special cooks who steam pastries, rice, white flour steamed buns, and stew large pot dishes for them.

Today's staple food is steamed steamed buns, and the dish is pork fat stewed with soybean sprouts and sweet potato powder.

Put the cut white fat meat in the big iron pot with the size of the marching pot, add a few bowls of water, and start to boil the lard, and soon the white fat meat will become a fat slice with a burnt skin, and the fragrant lard has accumulated in the pot, and the kitchen worker will pour the washed soybean sprouts into it, and after vigorously turning the shovel, add sweet potato flour and water until it is eighty percent full!

Then cover the pot lid and then do not lift it, and burn it with firewood below, it only takes about half an hour, and a large pot of fragrant pork fat stewed bean sprouts and sweet potato powder is ready.

Don't look down on this kind of cauldron dish, the bottom of the pot is supported by delicious lard, even the great gourds and scumbags of the 21st century, Cai Bo, once said that lard is a delicacy that he loves until death!

Moreover, the pigs of this era are all real organic black-haired pigs, and the lard boiled with this pork is not comparable to the white-haired pigs launched in later generations in order to popularize the meat rate.

When the lid of the cauldron is lifted, you can smell the aroma of pork and bean sprouts half a mile away, and if you look closely at the sweet potato flour in the pot full of gravy and bean sprout soup, your stomach will immediately scream.

The workers held a big black bowl in one hand, and in the bowl were piles of pork fat stewed bean sprouts and sweet potato flour like a hill, and in the other hand they were holding four or five big white steamed buns.

Hundreds of workers squatted on the dockside and started construction at the same time, and just listening to their snoring and eating and drinking made people drool.

Zhou Wenqiang also walked to the marching pot, and the 'master' who flushed the pot smiled: "I'm passing by, seeing that you eat so deliciously, can you build a pot?"

I gave the money. ”

As he spoke, he took out a dollar and handed it over.

The master looked at him with a smile: "Mr. is willing to eat this kind of dock rice, that is to give us face, welcome."

But you don't need so much, look for your Pentagon. ”

Zhou Wenqiang was not hypocritical, smiled and took the five dimes recovered, and at the same time took a big black bowl full of vegetables and four white-flour steamed buns, sent the vegetable bowl to the bottom of his nose and smelled it, stretched out his thumb and praised: "It's so fragrant!" ”

"This little brother is right, although the dock meal is simple and vulgar, and people with a little status can't look down on it, but it's really fragrant, and it's full!

If that's not enough, you can keep adding more. ”

A middle-aged man squatting in the crowd of workers raised his bowl to Zhou Wenqiang with a smile on his face: "Little brother, come here to eat together?" ”

"Haha, this is what you said, eldest brother, if it's not enough, I really want to add food."

Zhou Wenqiang laughed and walked towards the man with a big black bowl......

(It's really not a joke, this kind of big pot dish looks fragrant, Guang and Dark once passed by the construction site, saw the workers eating, just like one hand of the bowl and the other hand steamed buns, at that time it was not good.)

I thought about buying some to try, but unfortunately I was still embarrassed later, and I regret it now when I think about it.

If you have the opportunity, you must try it, this kind of rice can really fill your stomach! )
