Chapter 151 The Disappearing Breakfast Stall
It was May, and Yuncheng finally had a few more cloudy days, although the temperature did not drop much.
A faint golden color appeared on the horizon, and the warm morning sun began to shine, and the gate of Yuncheng slowly opened.
The defenders of Yuncheng came to the city gate wearing armor and holding guns to check the passes of the people who had been waiting outside Yuncheng for a long time.
The gates of Yuncheng now open and close on time every day. The number of people in the city has not decreased, but has increased a lot.
Most of them are the original inhabitants of Yuncheng, who have returned from visiting relatives and brought their families with them...
There are also friendly neighbors around Yuncheng. Their leaders also ordered people to dig spiral wells when they returned, but the progress is a bit slow and it has not been completed yet.
Anyway, it’s not far away, and people who are well-informed want to come over and take a look in advance.
What's more, Yuncheng also has a prince and a miraculous doctor...
There were also numerous spies and secret agents who followed the scent and reached Yuncheng, just to take root before Yuncheng could react.
People lined up to enter the city, and the streets were bustling with hawking sounds.
There are many tourists.
Men and women come and go.
They all had smiles on their faces and walked normally.
A skinny and tall old man, wearing a long green gown, was walking on the streets of Yuncheng with a servant boy.
He seemed curious about everything. He walked slowly and took a look at everything.
The locals are used to it, and it is standard for outsiders.
Cloud City's development has exceeded everyone's expectations, and they are right to be curious.
The old man kept walking until he came to the morning market where the crowds were the busiest. He found a wonton stall and sat down with his servant.
"Dear guests, would you like big wontons or small wontons, or dumplings? Dry-mixed ones or ones with chicken soup?" the young man dressed as a waiter shouted loudly.
Then he wiped his hands on the towel around his neck, took a colorful painting out of the drawer, and placed it on the table in front of the old man.
"Take a look, gentlemen. Tell me when you've made your choice." He turned back to the stove, picked up a bowl on the table, and shouted, "One serving of shepherd's purse wonton with a braised egg. Whose is it?"
"Mine, mine." A man raised his hand hurriedly.
……
The servant boy looked puzzled and turned his head to follow the busy figure of the waiter.
Isn't wonton stall just for eating wontons? When did there become so many choices?
The old man picked up the menu on the table, lowered his eyes and looked at it for a while, but did not make a choice, seeming to be in a dilemma.
The waiter came over again, bowed and smiled, "This is your first time in Yuncheng, right? How about this, you order some large wontons, I'll give you half dry and half chicken soup, you can try both."
Xiao Wonton had existed in Yuncheng before, so it must have existed in other places as well. It was not rare.
Outsiders who come to their stall for breakfast generally like big wontons, and the locals also prefer big wontons.
Thin skin and big filling, very satisfying!
The old man nodded: "That's great, then I'll give you two large wontons. Thank you, young man."
The waiter smiled and took the menu from the old man with both hands, "You're welcome. Please wait a moment."
Soon the large wontons, which were divided into four portions, were served.
The two soups were fresh and fragrant.
Two servings of dry red oil are eye-catching.
The servant boy stared at the wontons in the bowl that were as big as a baby's fist and slowly opened his mouth. Well, they were indeed big wontons!
One bite, the juicy aroma fills the air and it’s very satisfying.
It was as if the road that had been traveled for a long time and with great effort was suddenly smoothed out.
They arrived late, and by the time they finished eating, the nearby breakfast shops had already started to pack up and close.
The old man was curious and turned to ask the waiter, "Why did you close the stall?"
It’s still quite early.
Maybe there will be more customers if you wait a little longer. How can you be so careless in doing business? You have to be able to endure loneliness and keep the shop, only then can it last long.
"This is the East District Morning Market area planned by the County Magistrate's Office. At a certain time, we must clean up and go home."
The man who was in charge of cooking wontons in the shop came out, raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his neck with the towel, and spoke slowly.
Censor Li frowned slightly. This was too overbearing.
There is no compulsory management of shop opening and closing hours.
He had traveled all the way here in disguise, and he felt relieved when he first entered Yuncheng. After all, there were very few cities that could recover so quickly and with such vitality after a disaster.
He had already checked the large tracts of fertile land outside the city. The rice seedlings were all very healthy, but they had not yet bloomed or borne fruit...
There is also a reservoir with a wide surface and sparkling water. The lake water glows green under the sunlight, like emerald inlaid on the earth.
It is indeed a move that benefits the country and the people.
Thinking of this, he relaxed his brows and asked the man with a smile: "Why is this? Could this place have other uses in the future?"
Censor Li's serious and stern face was filled with a sincere smile, and he looked at the man with curiosity.
The man Dashan looked at the old man as if he was a fool. The breakfast shop did not close after the morning. Was he going to waste the whole day here?
Besides, the crowds here really affect the city's appearance.
The county lord's white wolf had trouble running.
Censor Li truly felt the other party's disdain and contempt.
This was something he had never felt since he was born, even though he had been an official for many years...
Fortunately, the waiter gave him an answer in time.
Is this the only answer? ...
The breakfast stalls are their side jobs as everyone has other things to do.
He understands that I need to go to the fields to check and replenish seedlings, fertilize sweet potato seedlings, and take care of vegetables in the vegetable garden...
However, in order to participate in the Yuncheng greening project, we have to go to the south of the city for unified training?
……
The amount of information is a bit large.
Li Yushi's brain, which was usually very fast, seemed to be a bit out of control...
……
"Master, where are we going first?" The servant boy stood beside Censor Li, holding their bags in his arms, standing on the street that was bustling a second ago but now empty.
Seeing how quickly everyone packed up their stalls, you can tell that this is normal, and each stall owner cleaned up the area around them when they left...
Now, the whole street is empty except for the aroma of food in the air...
"Old man, you are from out of town, right? Go find a place to stay first. If you are too late, I am afraid all the places will be reserved." The door of a house opened, and several men, women, old and young came out one after another, holding tools in their hands and wearing bamboo hats. It seemed that they were going to the fields.
"Do you see the tallest building in the distance? Just go to that street." The leading man pointed to a conspicuous building.
"Thank you."
Censor Li thanked the man who showed him the way and walked towards the iconic building in the city with his servant.
As I passed by the streets and alleys, I found that there were small saplings as thick as fingers on both sides of the road.
You can tell at first glance that it was newly planted.
Looking closely at the roots of the saplings, they were carefully watered, without leaving any behind.
This should be the wonton stall, the city’s greening that the two men were talking about.
To water the saplings in a city is indeed a big project...
Censor Li thinks that greening is a good idea, but it is a bit of a waste of manpower and water at this stage.
However, for the long-term development of Yuncheng, it is still very promising.
He silently gave scores to those who gave him advice in his mind, and he passed this item!
Until one day, he got up at the right time to attend the morning court and stood on the roof of Wangque Tower. He saw that the first thing every household did after opening the door was to water the saplings in front of their door...
They cherish this hard-earned green as much as they love their city.
Seeing the saplings at the door growing vigorously, it was as if I had seen the future of Yuncheng...
