Chapter 52: Laborers at the Bottom

For Tang Shiyu, this is just a small episode. On the other side of the pier, there are many small vendors who are constantly busy, almost all of them making steamed buns and baked cakes.

Most people who do manual work don't like to eat anything with water, because it doesn't carry hunger. Tang Shiyu compared with those busy small vendors, and she seemed to be very leisurely.

Waited left and right, and finally waited for lunch time. The people carrying goods on the dock kept coming this way, but when they passed by her stall, they would take a look at it at most but not stop.

Next door to her was a seller of pancakes, so she bought a pancake and put it on the knife board, then opened the barrel and found a piece of fat and lean braised pork from inside. When a burst of fragrance wafted out, someone subconsciously swallowed their saliva.

As if she was indifferent, she took a knife in her hand, cut the braised pork into slices, and then placed them on the pancakes. Thin pieces of braised pork, fragrant, fat but not greasy, ruddy in color.

Then roll up the whole baked cake and bite it down, the outside is crispy and fragrant inside. Everyone subconsciously looked at the baked cake in her hand, as if it was the most delicious thing in the world.

Tang Shiyu raised her head to see how effective her manufacturing was, and as soon as she looked up, she saw Han Dazhuang smiling at her. I saw that he was holding a black nest head in one hand and holding it under the nest head with the other hand, he should be afraid that the crumbs would fall, so he could pick it up and eat it if he dropped it in his hand.

Although she had never eaten such a nest, she watched the other party bite in small bites. There are only two possibilities for a big man to eat like this, one is reluctant to eat a few bites, and the other is that the thing is too hard to bite, and she thinks that the other party belongs to the latter type.

She raised her right hand and hooked her finger at him. And Han Dazhuang was puzzled at first, and then his eyes lit up and he ran over.

"Eun Gong!" Han Dazhuang smiled innocently, he had long wanted to thank his life-saving benefactor, but people were selling things, and he was afraid of disturbing them, so he could only squat opposite her.

"Help me see if this thing is poisonous." Tang Shiyu took out a piece of braised sausage from the bucket and put it on his nest.

"Good!" Han Dazhuang didn't think much about it, he really thought that the other party wanted him to test the poison. When he chewed the braised sausage in his mouth, he felt that this was the best thing he had ever eaten in his life, fat but not greasy, smooth and delicious.

"It's not poisonous, and there's no discomfort on my body." As a qualified drug tester, Han Dazhuang immediately reported his physical condition to Tang Shiyu after eating.

Tang Shiyu: "......"

This stupid big man, she just looked at him stupidly, and pitied him for gnawing on the cold nest head. If it's poisonous, does she dare to sell it here? She's not stupid.

She's a normal person, and she doesn't want to play with fools.

"Brothers, your body is the capital to make money, and you can't drag down your body just because you save a few more money. You are not alone, behind you is a large family. ”

"Our family's Tang braised pork is full of fragrant sauce, fat but not greasy, thin but not firewood, mixed with precious medicinal herbs. After eating our family's Tang braised pork, I kept you in good spirits when you worked in the afternoon. "Can you not be spiritual! Don't eat meat all year round, and occasionally eat secondary meat, for whom, who's spirit.

"The price is also fair, these braised hearts, braised lungs, and braised sausages only cost five and a half catties. You all know the price of pork, and it doesn't get much cheaper than that. "Ten cents a pound seems like a lot, but if you change it to five cents and a half pound, the effect will be different.

She wanted to say a little less, but if it was less, she was afraid that they would not settle the account, because one catty here is sixteen taels, which is equivalent to 640 grams in modern times.

"As for food safety, my pork is bought from Butcher Chen, and I'm sure you know him. Besides, this brother has already tasted it just now, but he is your man, and he will definitely not speak for me, an outsider. Tang Shiyu pointed at Han Dazhuang, who just wanted to defend himself, but was stopped by a look from her.

"I promise it's not poisonous," Han Dazhuang explained to everyone again.

"Give me half a catty, and I'll take it back to taste it for the baby at home." A man who was a young man became the first person to eat crabs.

"At first glance, the eldest brother is a person who loves children, which of these three do you want?" Tang Shiyu patted the other party's ass without showing a trace.

"I think Da Zhuang just ate well." Working at the same dock, they all know each other more or less. In fact, the man himself was hungry, and he thought that he would eat two bites for himself and take the rest back for the child.

Farmers with a little wealthier families only eat meat once a month or two, and those with a little worse family can only buy some meat to satisfy their hunger during the New Year's holidays.

"Half a catty is just right, there is a small piece of braised lung here to add to it, who made the eldest brother the first guest!" As soon as Tang Shiyu's words came out, those who were eager to buy it secretly regretted being one step late.

"Thank you little boss!" The man smiled and paid five cents, he felt that the five cents were worth spent, not only could he buy half a catty of meat, but he also generously gave a small piece.

"Give me half a catty, and put it on top of my meal." A man carries a bamboo lunch box with corn and pickles on top.

Corn here is not eaten after peeling as is the case in modern times, but here it is cooked with the skin attached. The rough taste and sourness of the throat pull don't need to think about it to know whether it tastes good or not. The reason for doing this is nothing more than a poor word, which is not only anti-hunger, but also does not waste things.

"Okay, I'll give you some marinade, this thing is more fragrant than anything you eat." Tang Shiyu dug up half a spoonful of marinade and buckled it on his corn, and the oily marinade buckled on the rice, which made people's appetite move.

"Brothers, if you need marinade to soak rice, come and get it, these marinades don't cost money. The big guys are all out to eat, and it's not easy. "Anyway, these marinades are poured out when they go back, and it is better to use them.

"Is what the little boss said true?" Many people are eager to try, not because they want to take advantage, but because the marinade on the man's rice can be seen by anyone with eyes, and the smell is fragrant enough.

"If I'm telling a lie, can so many of you let me out of here?" Tang Shiyu teased with a smile on the corner of his mouth, which made everyone laugh.

"But we have to say it first, line up to get it, don't create chaos, half a spoonful per person, leave some for the brothers in the back, there must be some things here." Tang Shiyu pointed to the two wooden barrels, and the marinade in them just overflowed the marinated meat.

"The little proprietor is atmospheric!" I don't know who in the crowd shouted, everyone shouted.

Many people want marinade, but there is nothing to hold it, so they have to drink a few sips of water in the bamboo tube cup to free up the marinade.
