Chapter 93 The cauldron is really fragrant

Some people say that Victoria Harbor in the 1950s carried the history of the second half of the century Hong Kong Island.

In the era when Hong Kong Island began to gradually transform from a "re-export port" to a "export port", Victoria Port, known as one of the three most profound ports in the world, is like a 28-year-old girl waiting to marry, sitting upright in the boudoir, waiting for the entry of the "Prince Charming"...

Early in the morning, melodious whistles sounded one after another, and white smoke came out from the chimneys of various ships, smearing this prosperous era. Countless cargo was loaded onto the ship, and countless cargo was unloaded on the dock, including boxes of Wanglaoji herbal tea.

Countless dock workers carrying "working bars" are like well-trained troops, shuttled back and forth under the command of the foreman.

Perhaps they are the humblest and lowest-level people of this era, but they rely on their shoulders and backbone to carry the increasingly prosperous economy of Hong Kong Island.

The workers also have a camp. They have cloth strips of various colors tied on their arms, white, red, earthy yellow, and navy blue...

Correspondingly, there are major characters under the Hongmen, namely Dongfu Gang, Xin'anyi, Hongxing...

Perhaps there is a saying that there is a word to monopolize profits in other ports, but there is absolutely no such possibility in Victoria Harbor.

This is the busiest and largest port in Hong Kong. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth tens of thousands of dollars a day. Even the most powerful one is not exclusive to the title.

Zhou Wenqiang mainly paid attention to dock workers with white cloth strips. Even in Victoria Harbor, the number of workers with white cloth strips was enough to rank in the top three.

Moreover, compared with the workers under the general word control, the smiles on their faces are obviously brighter and their behaviors are more well-founded, which shows their strong cohesion.

Zhou Wenqiang always thought that Bai Rice Fish was a very mysterious person.

This Dajiao family, who became Lei Luo's father-in-law in the movie, was actually the awesome figure who created the "500 million detectives". Hong Kong, Kowloon and Black and White have nothing to do to give him face, but his real foundation is a group of dock workers holding "working bars".

When have you ever seen such a lobster?

In Hong Kong films, those "Radison" who are all in suits and tie, Bai Rice Fish is simply the first down-to-earth person!

Moreover, Baijiyu has nothing to do with the Hongmen, and it is not about the emerging character "Hongxing". However, with a bunch of "bar heads", it entered several large piers in Hong Kong and Kowloon, including Victoria, a world-famous natural port.

Even in Victoria Harbour, the power of Baijiyu can rank in the top three.

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

They work hard for the home behind them, for their wives and children. If someone dares to invade their territory, their methods can be a hundred times more fierce than those short mules, Sijiuzai!

These are a group of powerful and tough-tempered "honest people" of Kong Wu.

Even the most cruel ones, the big guys understand one thing. Don’t bully honest people too much. Once honest people are anxious, they will really fight for you!

Bai Rice Fish is definitely not an honest person, otherwise he would not have become a mysterious Dajiao in the legend of Hong Kong and Kowloon. Therefore, his means of controlling these honest people made Zhou Wenqiang even more curious.

Because Zhou Wenqiang discovered that the white rice fish did not use any kind of martial arts, but a kind of "corporate culture" similar to later generations.

If it weren't for the movie about Bai Rice Fish, Zhou Wenqiang would even suspect that this guy is like him and is also a time traveler...

Dock workers are somewhat similar to later construction site workers. In order to seize the time to load and unload goods, breakfast and lunch are usually solved on the dock, which has also brought about a new kind of employment. Some vendors who specialize in making dock rice will set up food stalls before meals and provide various simple and cheap food for these workers.

There are various noodles, porridge, and rice with rice on the top. The taste is average, but the amount is large and the amount is full.

But the workers of Baijiyu don’t eat this kind of food. They have their own pier canteen.

It is said to be a canteen, but it is actually a pergola set up on an open space, with special kitchen workers steaming noodles, rice, white flour steamed buns, and stewing big pot of dishes for them.

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

The cut white fat meat was added to the large iron pot with a size of a marching pot. After adding a few bowls of water, the lard began to boil. Soon the white fat meat turned into fat slices with browned skin, and fragrant lard accumulated in the pot. The kitchen workers poured the washed soybean sprouts in, and after shoveling vigorously, add sweet potato flour and add water until 80% full!

Then cover the dead pot and don’t lift it up. Cook it hard with firewood. It only takes about half an hour to stew a large pot of fragrant pork fat and bean sprouts and sweet potato flour.

Don’t look down on this big pot of vegetables. The bottom of the pot is filled with delicious lard. Even the 21st century big gourmet and scumbag Cai Bo once said that lard is a delicious food he loves until his death!

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

Once the lid of the big pot was lifted, the aroma of pork and bean sprouts could be smelled half a mile. If you walked closer and took a look at the sweet potato flour that was filled with gravy and bean sprout soup in the pot, your stomach would immediately scream in discomfort.

The workers held a big black bowl in one hand, which was piled with pork fat stewed bean sprouts and sweet potato flour like a hill, and in the other hand, they held four or five large white steamed buns, took a bite of vegetable meat, bite half of the steamed bun, and added a bite of thick soup. It tasted so delicious.

Hundreds of workers squatted by the dock and built it at the same time. Just listening to their snoring sounds of eating and drinking makes people drool.

Zhou Wenqiang also walked to the marching pot, and the 'master' who made the tube pot smiled and said, "I am a passing person. Look at how delicious you eat, can you make a pot?

I gave the money.”

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

The master smiled and looked at him: "Sir is willing to eat this kind of dock rice, which is for us to save face. Welcome.

But there is no need to be so much, I will find you five points."

Zhou Wenqiang was not pretentious and smiled and took the 500 cents he had recovered. At the same time, he took a big black bowl full of vegetables and four white steamed buns, and brought the bowl under his nose to smell it. He stretched out his thumb and praised: "It smells so good!"

"This little brother is right. Although the dock rice is simple and vulgar, no one with a slight status looks down on it, it is so delicious, and it's full!

If it is not enough, you can continue to add it.”

A middle-aged man squatting in the worker crowd raised the bowl at Zhou Wenqiang with a smile: "Little brother, come here to eat together?"

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

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

(It's not a joke. This kind of big pot of vegetables looks delicious. Guangnan once passed by a construction site and saw workers eating. They just had a handful of vegetables, bowls and steamed buns. They were so hungry at that time.

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