After leaving the Shannan East Road Building, turning around, a high platform stood up. The tower above was majestic and majestic. Xu Fu praised: "Zhaoming Terrace is known as the most scenic spot in Xiangyang City. It is really different. I have traveled to many places, but there is no place like this."

Gao Shi said yes.

The two of them stood under the Zhaoming stage and admired for a long time.

During the Tang Dynasty, Xiangyang was the capital of Shannan East Road, and Zhaoming Tower was also renamed Shannan East Road Building. This building was damaged and repaired many times, and it has gone through countless wind and rain. After Wang Xiao went to Xiangyang, it was renovated and became the city center.

A great sight.

Looking at the sky, Xu Fu said: "It's almost noon, and I'm a little hungry. Let's go eat some soup and rice. When we were walking on the road, we saw many high-rise shops in Xiangyang City. They were no less than those in Kaifeng Mansion. Let's go and see what they have.

feature."

Gao Shi agreed, and the two of them walked north.

Cui Qing and his two followers followed slowly and unhurriedly.

Not far away, Xu Fu stopped and said to Cui Qing behind him: "Cui Tongzhi, what are the specialties in Xiangyang?"

Cui Qing said: "I would like to advise you that Xiangyang is located on the main road between the north and the south. It is where the so-called southern boats and north horses are located. Naturally, there are food from both the north and the south. If you want to say it is delicious, it just depends on your own taste. If you want to talk about its characteristics, I really can't say it at the moment.

.”

Xu Fu said: "In such a huge city, there is no delicacy that is known to both young and old?"

Cui Qing thought for a while and said: "Everyone, young and old, knows it, so there are quite a few of them. The ban on cattle was lifted a few months ago, and the price of beef dropped a lot. Everyone is vying to buy it. There is a new kind of beef."

The noodles, the soup is thick and delicious, and it is a specialty in Xiangyang."

Xu Fu said: "We have eaten beef noodles several times in Xiangyang for two days. No matter how delicious it is, we need to change the taste."

Cui Qing said: "Then let's change to rice noodles with mushrooms and chicken nuggets. The soup of this rice noodles is very delicious, the price is not expensive, and it is loved by the people."

"Okay, let's go eat these rice noodles." Xu Fu replied casually.

By the Song Dynasty, rice noodles were very common and could be eaten in most places in the south. Wang Xiaolie improved the production method and used old rice instead of japonica rice, which reduced the cost. There were also specialized workshops and the production methods began to be standardized.

The mountains around Xiangyang and Nanyang are rich in shiitake mushrooms. They are cooked with chicken nuggets and the soup is particularly delicious. It is a perfect match with rice noodles.

Not far away, Cui Qing said: "You don't usually find rice noodles in big restaurants, they are all small shops on the street. If the officials don't mind it, there is a canteen in front, and the food in it is delicious, the most delicious."

Xu Fu said: "We have been walking around for the past two days, and we are about to take a look at the fireworks in Xiangyang. Control, lead the way."

Cui Qing promised and went ahead. Not far away, he arrived in front of a village. There was a gate in front of him and there was a steady flow of people.

Cui Qing said to Xu Fu: "This is a canteen. Many workers from far and near eat here. There are too many people inside, so the officials should go slower."

Xu Fu agreed, and together with Gao Shize, he followed Cui Qing into the gate.

This place is different from ordinary streets. There is a shed above. However, part of the shed is equipped with glass and is not dark. There are various small shops selling food on both sides of the street, all with the same layout. There are no tables and stools inside the facade, only at the door.

A stall. On the street at the entrance, there are tables and stools. Although the tables and stools are slightly different in design and color, they can be seen to be the same. Even the bowls used by the diners are similar. The four characters "Chengbei Canteen" are written on the bowls.

The same goes for other chopsticks and spoons.

Xu Fu looked at it and said, "This place is so weird. It's not like other places where we do business."

Cui Qing said: "This is a canteen. It has many varieties and cheap prices. And because there are many customers, the food tastes good. This is specially set aside by the government for the convenience of the people. Doing business here, taxes are low, and they

It’s different everywhere.”

Xu Fu nodded. He knew where this place was, but he didn't know why the Xiangyang government did this.

After walking a few dozen steps, Cui Qing pointed to the shop next to him and said: "This is Zhenfusi's shop, where you can feel most at ease when eating. Please accept your advice and sit down, allowing the official to go and buy it. This place is different from other places."

, there are no waiters, so the price is cheaper than other places.”

Xu Mansion nodded. He and Gao Shize chose an empty seat and sat down together. Several of Cui Qing's subordinates stood around.

Not long after, Cui Qing put two bowls of rice noodles on the table and invited the Xu family to eat. He returned to the store and ordered two dishes. Then he stood by the table and looked at the crowd on the street.

Xu Fu said, "Commander, why don't you sit down and have a bowl together? It's almost noon, so you should be hungry."

Cui Qing said: "I have been ordered to accompany you for these two days. How dare you sit down when you have responsibilities? You two officials, please use them with ease. This is what I do, so you don't have to be polite."

"If that's the case, we won't be polite." Cui Qing had been accompanying the two of them like this since yesterday. Xu Fu was used to it and didn't bother him much.

After Chen Yuyi took over the relationship for the two of them, he proposed to take a walk around Xiangyang City in the next two days. Chen Yuyi had official business, so he stopped accompanying them, and Cui Qing came instead.

Cui Qing is the guard leader of Wang Xiaolie, and is actually the commander of the security forces of the Zhenfu Division. He looks inconspicuous, and he usually behaves well and is kind to everyone. In fact, this position is very important. Many things are not done by others.

I know. Everyone here at Wang Xiaolie, including Li Yanxian, Chen Qiudao, Wang Ruohai and Chen Yuyi, are all polite to Cui Qing.

Xu Fu was old in officialdom. After spending a day with Cui Qing, he knew that this person was not simple and lacked courtesy.

After a while, they ate rice noodles. Cui Qing went to ask for tea again, so that Xu Fu and the two could rest with tea.

After drinking a few sips of tea, he saw the crowds of people on the street and the business of the surrounding shops was particularly good. Xu Fu couldn't help but said: "There is no other place as lively as this place. They say Xiangyang is prosperous. After seeing it today, I realized what I mean.

Virtual."

Cui Qing said: "Not far from here, after leaving the south gate, there is the industrial zone in the south of Xiangyang, with many factories. There are many businesses and factories nearby. The workers inside have to come out for a walk after work.

Naturally prosperous.”

Xu Fu said: "In the past two days, I have heard from people that there is an industrial zone in Xiangyang. Where is it?"

Cui Qingdao: "It is Xiangyang Prefecture that brought together the factories under its control to provide convenience and called it an industrial zone. There are mountains to the south of Xiangyang City and countless rivers, which merge into Xianghe River, so water conservancy is convenient. Many factories were built there and utilized

Water power is the industrial area in the south of the city."

Xu Fu nodded. But he couldn't figure out why he did this. Where is the government's control over the opening of factories? As long as the taxes are raised, won't it disappear? The factories are gathered together and the population is extremely dense. Isn't there a lot of trouble? What are the benefits of the government? To Gao Gao
