The kitchen squad is in the company headquarters, and two soldiers have to go to the company headquarters to get it for each meal. Fortunately, the distance is not too far and the food is not cold.

Zhu Jiang opened the big bucket of food to look at it and cursed: "Damn it, it's pigs going into the water again. Has the food expenses been all divided by the company's guys? I've eaten it for five days and the pigs going into the water!"

Song Li looked at the cooking bucket after hearing Zhu Jiang say this. It was actually pretty good. It was pork liver soup and fat intestines stir-fried cabbage, and braised pork with potatoes. Because Zhu Jiang is a pig farm, it is naturally close to the water. Others don’t have pigs to store food, but they can handle it. So the cooking class has the daily force of pork liver, pig lungs, pig hearts, and pig belly. The braised pork with potatoes is a standard dish. Guangdong has a good harvest this year. This kind of sweet potatoes and corn have not become a staple food in the late Ming Dynasty, so the people in Guangdong are not interested in this kind of thing with extremely large yields.

However, Guangdong has produced so much, except for the use of winemaking and pig farming in Guangdong, it is only consumed by troops and private camps.

Zhu Jiang was frugal when he was at home. He had eaten vulgar food such as pork, but he couldn't eat it when he came to the army because there was nothing else except these. Zhu Jiang heard from Song Li that there were other meats such as chicken and sea fish in the field troops, but his own pig farm did not have that kind of treatment. Only the pigs were given food every day.

Zhu Jiang opened another big bucket and frowned again when he saw it. It was full of steamed buns and mashed potatoes. Because Henan and Shandong were mostly in the army, everyone basically ate steamed buns, but Zhu Jiang was born in Huguang and was really not suitable for pasta. But there was nothing he could do. He liked not to eat, and he didn't want to eat it. At the beginning, Zhu Jiang made these suggestions with Company Commander Jiang. Most of the soldiers in the company were from Southern Zhili. He was really not suitable for steamed buns, so he asked the company commander to arrange a few meals of rice.

But Jiang Pengju didn't say anything, and said those eight words directly, "If you like to eat, don't eat it, don't eat it."

Zhu Jiang had no choice but to start a trip to steamed buns three times a day.

Zhu Jiang looked at these unchanging foods, and had no choice but to take a steamed bun, put half a bowl of mashed potatoes, and start eating. When the others saw Zhu Jiang moving, they took out their own tableware and started eating.

Zhu Jiang forced himself to finish his meal and watched his subordinates tidy up the tableware. Zhu Jiang said to Song Li: "Song Li, do you like this kind of food?"

Song Li smiled and said, "Sir, I couldn't eat this kind of food before. I was hungry outside. It was normal not to eat for a few days, let alone meat. I really want to thank His Majesty Shenwu Emperor. If the army had not taken me in, I might have been starved to death like my parents!"

Zhu Jiang waved his hand to interrupt Song Li's praise and whispered: "I'm not talking about this, don't you want to eat something else? For example, beef and mutton?"

"Beef? That's illegal! I want to eat mutton, but there are no sheep in this place!"

"Idiot, aren't there any cattle that pulls a cart in the supply office? They come to collect live pigs every three days. We can steal their cattle and then kill them to eat meat. What do you think?"

Song Li was so scared to death when he heard Zhu Jiang say this. Do you dare to steal the cows from the supply department? Not to mention that killing cows is illegal, even the crime of stealing military material is enough for him to lose his head.

"Platform leader, you must not. Our army is extremely strict. Stealing cattle is a crime. To be serious, you will lose your head. To be mild, you will be whipped a few times. The villain will definitely not dare to go!"

Seeing that Song Li disagreed with one hundred, Zhu Jiang had no choice but to give up. It wasn't that he had to eat a bite of beef, but mainly because he wanted to do something to attract Zhao Guodong's attention. It would be better for Zhao Guodong to see that he couldn't support himself on the wall and sent him home. Zhu Jiang had been staying in this place enough. He didn't want to smell the smell of pig manure together, nor did he want to use pig grass and slurry to cook pig food for those who were humming and whispering every day. This was different from the military life he expected.

Now Zhu Jiang has no ambition to compete for the throne with Zhu Hai. He just wants to return to Guangdong and be his own prince of Taiping.

In fact, it is normal for Zhu Jiang to think so. After all, everyone had dreams when they were young, but how many people really realized their dreams? They all gradually recognized themselves when they grew up and found that they were like ordinary people. Then they were slowly worn out by life, and then they became one of the thousands of ordinary people.

Zhu Jiang is also an ordinary person. When he was passionate and found that his ideals were different from reality, he began to retreat and wanted to return to his comfortable life. But Zhu Jiang thought so, and he forgot that when he stood up and prepared to compete with Zhu Hai, he was not alone. There was a bunch of people with different goals behind him. These people would never let Zhu Jiang retreat. Either becoming emperor or Fengyang ban, there was no second way to go.

Seeing that Song Li didn't dare to steal the cow, Zhu Jiang came up with another plan.

"Song Li, the food here is really bad, it's better to do this. Brothers are fine in the afternoon. How about I take you to Dinghaiwei for a trip! Have something good in the city tonight!"

Zhoushan belongs to Dinghaiwei, and the garrison is a large town with 5,000 or 6,000 people. Since Li Zhi stationed here, a large number of new Guangdong troops have entered and exited this place. These Guangdong men are very rich, so Dinghaiwei is becoming more and more prosperous.

Song Li and others came to Zhoushan at different times, but they were all assigned to the pig farm north of Zhoushan as soon as they got off the boat, and they had never been to Dinghaiwei at all. In addition, Jiang Pengju was very strict in the military administration, so they did not dare to go to Dinghai City to visit.

Seeing the ten people hesitated, Zhu Jiang continued, "Don't worry, let's go for an afternoon. If there is anything I have to bear with you, don't worry!"

After Zhu Jiang's repeated persuasion, these people were ready to enter the city with Zhu Jiang. The other six people were afraid of Jiang Pengju and refused to go no matter how they said that.

Seeing that there were only four people following him, Zhu Jiang sighed, "There were only four people." Zhu Jiang took people to the city to prepare for trouble. Only when there were too many people could they attract attention. Only by making trouble by yourself might they be detained for a few days and then they would be fine.

Zhu Jiang ordered the six people left to guard the house, and then prepared and took the four people on the way.

As a prince, Zhu Hongsan treats his son very well. The prince's salary is 36,000 silver dollars a year. In addition to these, Zhu Jiang also has several factories in Dongguan, and he can also get tens of thousands of silver dollars a year. There are also a farm outside Guangzhou city, and he also has a few thousand yuan in income every year. However, this money is managed by Ma Ruyan. Because Zhu Jiang has not been married yet and has not yet grown up in law, Zhu Jiang's monthly living expenses are only a pitiful one hundred silver dollars. However, one hundred silver dollars is also a lot, one silver dollar is equivalent to one tael of silver, while one stone of rice in Guangdong costs three taels of silver, which means that Zhu Jiang can buy more than thirty stones of rice in a month.

So there are a lot of these 100 silver dollars. Even if the prices in Guangdong are soaring, this 100 silver dollars will be enough for a family of five to live for half a year.

The Zhoushan Pig Farm is still twenty miles away from Dinghai City. Zhu Jiang and others started to set off after having dinner. It took an hour to arrive at Dinghai City.

Now the army outside Dinghai City has gone to Nanzhili, leaving a large number of empty barracks and no one lives there. However, there is still a battalion of guard forces left here in Dinghai. After all, although the army has left, Zhoushan is still a logistics base, and there are still many supplies on the island, so the army needs to be guarded.

Zhu Jiang comes from a big city in Guangzhou, so he naturally doesn't look down on such a small county-level city. However, the other four people are here in Dinghai for the first time. These four guys are very curious when they look around.

Dinghai City has come here in recent years because a large mainland population has escaped war. In addition, the Guangdong New Army has tens of thousands of people stationed here. Dinghai City is very prosperous, with dozens of restaurants and brothels. There are many shops on the streets in the city, selling everything, such as Annan rice, Luzon shark fins, Sanfoqi fragrant wood, etc., which makes people dazzled.

When Zhu Jiang saw the four people curious about everything, he laughed and scolded: "You four guys, hurry up and follow me. What's the beauty of this? When I have time, I'll take you to Guangzhou. The south city of Guangzhou will be called Huahua World. This place is a small fishing village compared to Guangzhou!"

Song Li and others knew that Zhu Jiang was born in a wealthy family, so they quickly asked Zhu Jiang to promise that he would take a few people to Guangzhou in the future to open his eyes.

Dinghai City is located near the seaside, and it is the most prosperous part of the city. Zhu Jiang looked at a large restaurant in front of him, which had three floors, so he decided that it was here.

When Song Li saw that he was going to have a meal in such a luxurious place, he was a little afraid and pulled Zhu Jiang and asked, "Platform leader, go to this place? Isn't it too luxurious?"

"What's this? My home in Guangzhou is ten thousand times more luxurious than this!"

The other four people secretly curled their lips and didn't believe it. In fact, Zhu Jiangzhen didn't tell any lies. Even if the temporary palace in Guangzhou didn't invest much money to build it, it would be much better than a restaurant.

When I came to Zhu Jiang, I saw the plaque "Wanghailou". It's right, that's it!

Four men stood in front of Wanghai Tower, and came here to see Zhu Jiang and the other two were about to come in for dinner, one of the men came and greeted him.

The hotel guy relied on his eyesight. When the guy saw that Zhu Jiang and the other five were wearing off-white training uniforms from the army, and a vague smell of pig manure came out of their bodies, he knew that these five guys didn't have much money.

"Wait a minute, are you going to have a meal?" Although I looked down on the five, my good professional habits still made the guy greet him with a smile.

Zhu Jiang nodded: "Yes, we are going to have dinner at your Wanghailou!"

The guy smiled and said, "Five people, if you want to have a meal, go to the restaurant at the first two intersections. You five can eat well, three silver dollars. Wanghailou is not something you can afford to consume!"

Zhu Jiang was stunned. What did you say at this time? No restaurant is not welcome to eat!

"Man, are you afraid that we won't give money?"

"This military master, I can't get a table with ten silver dollars in Wanghailou. I only have a monthly salary, so I'd better listen to my advice to have a full meal!"

Damn, Zhu Jiang hasn't met such a guy who looks down on others in Guangzhou. Zhu Jiang took out three silver dollars from his arms and handed them over to the guy.
Chapter completed!
