The sunset on the horizon dyed the sea red, and the earth was covered with a layer of crimson brocade robes. The dock, which should have been gradually silent, was now noisy. Stevedores came and went, shoulders and backs, and bags of cargo were unloaded from the sea ships and loaded onto horse-drawn wagons.

Men dressed in black uniforms patrolled around the docks, with a pair of eyes like torches, watching the surroundings vigilantly. Hundreds of ships, in addition to some rare crops that were not available in the Ming Dynasty, there are also some precious goods brought back from the West and South Seas.

Rare is expensive, and the common silk porcelain of the Ming Dynasty can be transported to the West for dozens of times or even hundreds of times. In the same way, things that look inconspicuous in the West are worth a lot of money in the Ming Dynasty. The emperor said that except for the things listed in his list, the other goods belonged to the king of Yangjun. After this trip, King Yangjun is definitely a hundred times more worthy! There are so many expensive things, so it is natural to prevent small peeping.

King Yang also seemed to attach great importance to these goods, and rejected Bao Tong's offer to escort him to the town, and sat in front of the simple house of the dock office, watching the bags of goods loaded into the carriage. His expression was faint, his mouth habitually pursed into a line, and his starry eyes flashed with a cold light, giving people a feeling that no one should enter.

A slight abnormal sound of "grunt ......" seemed so clear that it was difficult to ignore when the four of them sat silently opposite each other.

Commander Bao secretly glanced at King Yangjun out of the corner of his eye, and his expression was not a trace of abnormality, as if the abdominal sound had nothing to do with him.

Sensing Commander Bao's gaze, Manager Liu coughed lightly, pulled away his attention, covered his stomach and whispered: "Forgive me, master, the old slave has a bad appetite on the ship during the day, and before it is dinner, his stomach protests." ”

Of course, King Yangjun knew that the chief manager was afraid that he would not be able to save face, so he would relieve him. This Mr. Liu is still a child, and he eats the biggest in the world, what's so embarrassing about this?

His starry eyes turned, glanced at Manager Liu, then looked at Commander Bao, and said lightly: "Commander Bao, is there anything on this dock that can fill your stomach?" ”

This question made Commander Bao difficult. Tanggu Wharf is primitive and simple, most of the food sellers are farmers and peasant women in nearby villages, not to mention the poor food, and I don't know if it is clean. King Yangjun is said to have a slight habit of cleanliness, how can the food here enter his mouth?

Seeing that Commander Bao had a difficult look on his face and had not responded for a long time, King Yangjun said in a hoarse voice with a slight change of voice: "What? What are the difficulties of Commander Bao? ”

Few people know that Zhu Junyang has had an illness since he was a child, and he was once anemic to the point of fainting. Although he was diagnosed and treated by a doctor, his condition improved greatly as he grew older. Especially after practicing martial arts to strengthen the body, few people know about it. Perhaps because of this, Zhu Junyang can't be hungry, he panics and shortness of breath when he is hungry, and wants to lose his temper. Therefore, the tone of conversation with Commander Bao was a little impatient.

Commander Bao hurriedly got up, knelt down on one knee, bowed his head and arched his hand: "King Yangjun, the conditions of the dock are too simple. Weekend...... The last general is afraid that you can't get used to eating the county king! ”

"What's not to be used to? When on the boat, eating raw fish and drinking rainwater has happened to the king? How humble can you be so simple? Zhu Junyang felt the emptiness in his stomach, and his heart was irritable, and his last sentence was tantamount to a scolding.

If you want to say that the person who knows Xiaojun Wang the most, there is no one like Manager Liu, who watched him grow up. He knew that the little county king was so hungry that if he didn't replenish some food, someone would suffer. Manager Liu hurriedly said to Commander Bao: "Commander Bao, you pick up the food on the dock that can be eaten a little and get some here." The old man is almost fainting from hunger! ”

Commander Bao noticed the flickering flames in King Yangjun's eyes, and knew that although King Yangjun was young, he was not a soft-hearted person, so he hurriedly got up and said, "If you want to say that you can barely eat, it is the noodle stall of the Yu sisters." Wait a minute! ”

After King Yangjun waved his hand impatiently at him with a calm face, Commander Bao walked quickly towards Yu Xiaocao's noodle stall. At this time, the workers at the dock were busy working, and the noodle stalls were empty. Han is cooking a fragrant fried sauce, which is made with diced meat and dried tofu in addition to the mish, and the taste is naturally extraordinary.

Originally, at this time, the Yu sisters had already collected their stalls and gone back, but today for special reasons, at the request of the sixth brother, they followed the dock workers to work overtime. Yu Xiaocao sat on the wooden bench, playing with his fingers boredly, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Commander Bao was hurrying over as if there was a vicious dog behind him.

"My lord, it's a great job! Please take a seat, is it a fried sauce noodle or a scallion oil noodle? "I remember at noon, this adult was full of praise for these two noodles, I don't know if it should be business as usual, or order fresh pasta?

Commander Bao sat at the table, and every time he was panting, he shouted loudly: "If you have any noodles, come three bowls first, be quick!" Another plate of pork head meat, red oil ear shreds, fried fat sausage, kelp and dried beans are put together! Fast! As soon as possible!! ”

This adult had just eaten here at noon, and if he wanted to eat, he would definitely not be in such a hurry. Judging by his nervous and eager attitude, it must be that little county king who returned from overseas wants to eat noodles. In the end, he was born as a prince, and a casual sentence can make his subordinates run and break their legs!

Yu Xiaocao secretly slandered the privileges of the powerful in his heart, but said solemnly on his face: "If it is the fastest, it will be fried noodles." The fried sauce has just been boiled, and the noodles are cooked and poured on top of it! You wait a minute, and you'll be fine soon! ”

Xiaocao shouted at her aunt: "Auntie, come three bowls of fried noodles!" Boil the dishes and chopsticks in boiling water! ”

Commander Bao looked at the thin girl approvingly, what a dexterous little guy, from his words and actions, he could guess that the food was prepared for the nobles, and he also specially instructed to cook the dishes and chopsticks. The heart is very fine!

Yu Xiaocao washed his hands carefully, and after scalding the cutting board and knives with boiling water, he carefully cut the pickled vegetables into a plate, mixed the ear shreds with red oil, and put the garlic paste and green onion shreds in the corner of the plate to prevent the nobles from eating these smelly and irritating seasonings. After that, he made a fat sausage again. After these are done, Han's fried noodles are also ready.

Han is a good cook, and after Xiaocao's guidance, he has made all kinds of noodles very authentic, especially fried noodles, which are better than blue, and they are better than the heat made by Xiaocao!

Full of three bowls of fried noodles, plus four plates of authentic Yujia braised vegetables, it is already a relatively luxurious food on the dock. As for the taste, it's not Xiaocao's boast, there is absolutely no food on the dock that can surpass her braised vegetables and fried noodles!

Four plates of braised vegetables were put into the basket layer by layer, and Commander Bao took the lead in grabbing the basket and urged Han and Xiaocao: "Quick! Come with me!! ”

The corners of Xiaocao's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart: You are quite good at picking, the noodles have just come out, and you can burn people's hands red. You are a big man, with thick skin and thick meat, let our women and children still serve noodles, cold and cold.

Fortunately, after not taking a few steps, Commander Bao sent a few of his men to take over their noodle bowls and threw a piece of silver to send the two away.

The three guards on duty had been busy all afternoon, and their stomachs were already growling. They were hooked by the fragrant fried noodles, looked at each other, and whispered to Xiaocao: "The rest of the silver is for you to be rewarded by adults...... Little girl, we are patrolling over there, and you can send a few bowls of noodles over in a while, and your benefits are indispensable! ”

The three guards knew very well that as long as they did not delay the patrol, it was allowed to eat a bowl of noodles instead. I don't know how to make this noodles, but it's so fragrant. The phoenix claw dragon beard noodles on the first floor of the capital don't smell fragrant!

The place where the three guards are on duty, the most lively place in the official dock. Near the sea, you can clearly see the tall and magnificent ships, and the dock workers are busy in the sight of the guards.

In order to successfully complete this errand, the sixth brother worked hard. There are a lot of regular employees in the firm, and all the networks have been activated, and temporary workers have also been gathered, with hundreds of people up and down, and the speed of unloading is also quite amazing. In the afternoon, most of the cargo on the ships was loaded onto horse-drawn wagons and transported to the town's accommodation......

Yu Xiaocao used the wooden board as a tray, and with a little difficulty, he carried three bowls of fried noodles, carefully stepped on the soft sand, and brought the noodles to the three guards. The guards consisted of a team of ten, one of whom was a temporary squad leader.

Smelling the thick aroma of jajangmyeon, the guards couldn't help but forget to look at it. Recognizing Yu Xiaocao, the three guards greeted the team leader with a smile and greeted Xiaocao. As if he was afraid of being snatched by someone, one person served a bowl of noodles, didn't care about the heat, and ate it hiss.

The team leader arranged the rotation and walked over and said with a smile: "You guys are too boring!" I even secretly ate alone! Tell me, how should I punish you? ”

One of the tall guards smiled boldly, "Good! We admit punishment! I'll invite my brother to eat noodles! Don't say it, this small dock actually hides a dragon and a crouching tiger. On this side, I really can't find a second one in the capital that can be compared! ”

The other guards thought he was too hungry, so he ate everything deliciously. But when you actually eat the jajangmyeon in your mouth, you will know that it tastes really good!

After Yu Xiaocao sent all the guards over, he stood quietly aside and waited for the dishes and chopsticks to be collected. She opened her eyes wide with curiosity, looked at the sturdy and atmospheric sea ship up close, and sighed in her heart the butterfly wings that passed through her fellow countrymen. It is estimated that before this fellow crossed over, he studied shipbuilding! It was possible to create an ocean-going ship with both sails and steam! Xiaocao really doesn't know that she has inadvertently found the truth!

Xiaocao, who was looking at the grass with great interest, suddenly found that his uncle had also come to work on the dock today. Uncle is really hard! After a while, I went to Fucheng to deliver food, and I made a lot of money, and I was reluctant to give up the work of carrying goods.

Wait a minute...... What is that? The bag on the uncle's back was scratched with a small hole by something, and the golden seeds that fell from it were corn?
