After watching for a while, the three of them sat down, Jin San said, "When the train was driving, the palace informed me, and I had a long experience."

While the three of them were talking, the servant brought the wine and food and said, "Celebrity, many of the dishes in the small shop are transported from the capital, but there are no other places. The locally produced mutton and the fish in the Yellow River next to them are all delicious, so enjoy it slowly."

After saying that, he bowed and turned around and left.

Just now, Jin San just ordered the dishes to be served, but he didn't give anything. At this time, he looked at the table, which he had never seen before. A plate of fresh fried celery meat, a portion of fried crispy meat, a plate of roast duck, a squirrel mandarin fish, a plate of crispy lotus root, and a plate of shallots mixed with tofu.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Jin San was stunned. He was a wealthy man, and he had never eaten any good things. But he had never seen such dishes. I don’t know where to start, Jin Sanwen said to Yang Sanwen: "Dianzhi, I have never seen some small dishes here, I don’t know what the name is?"

Yang Sanwen picked up the chopsticks, pointed at the celery and stir-fried meat, "This is a good meat cut into shreds and stir-fried with celery. It is delicious and refreshing. Zhongyuan now likes to stir-fry this way, especially the meat and vegetables. Only with such a dish can you see decentness."

Jin San nodded and asked, "Dare you ask what's strange about this dish? Why didn't the meat be cooked and separated from the dish?"

Yang Sanwen smiled and said, "Because this is the Central Plains, how can you eat so vulgarly! What does the best pork taste like when cooked? Don't underestimate this dish. You need cheap and good soybean oil to be eaten in daily life. It's not the Central Plains, you don't want to eat it yet!"

Jin Sandao: "Why should we use soybean oil? Is sesame oil not good? In our Western Regions, we have as much sesame oil as possible, which is cheaper than the Central Plains."

Yang Sanwen said: "Seat oil is fried, soybean oil is fried, different. I am a martial artist, so I can only talk about the difference between them. How can I explain the rest clearly? You will know the difference when you eat it today. The roast duck is made of fat duck and roasted for several hours, crispy and delicious. The fried crispy meat is chosen from good pork with fat and fried flour. It tastes refreshing and fragrant. This fish is not simple. It is made of good Yellow River carp, fried first, and then poured into a sauce. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it has the fresh aroma of the fish, and the sauce is sour and sweet. The lotus root was transported from Xiangzhou. Even if there are in the Western Regions, it is not as sweet and delicious. Finally, this dish of shallots mixed with tofu, the onion is the onion from Bingzhou, and the tofu is fresh tender tofu. When poured with sauce produced in the capital, it is absolutely impossible to eat in the Western Regions."

Tofu was just popular in the Central Plains, and it wasn't even seen in Hexi, let alone the Western Regions. This simplest dish is the most confusing dish that made Jin San the most. He knew what Yang Sanwen was talking about, but he really didn't know what tofu was.

After pouring the wine, the three of them drank two glasses. Jin San and Ren Ze ate several dishes, and praised them all. They all said that only the Central Plains could eat so exquisitely and live up to the reputation of the Supreme Kingdom.

After three rounds of drinking, Jin San asked Yang Sanwen: "Dianzhi, do many guests outside come here to watch the train?"

Yang Sanwen shook his head: "Many of them came here by train from Zhongyuan to see what they did. Or there were a few foreign merchants who came here to see the train like a member of the company. They were here to see if their goods were loaded and when they were shipped out. Or they saw the goods they transported, when they arrived at the station, and when they could be transported away. So there was a teahouse on the second floor, and some businessmen sat here all day long."

Jin San nodded, and then suddenly realized that these people were looking at their goods. There were more people gathering, and this place became a place for merchants to talk about business and exchange information, so the business was particularly prosperous. There were people who watched the popularity as tourist attractions, but only a few of them were among the guests.

This is the Guan Restaurant, Shengzhou's money bag, and the only one can see the cargo yard. If an outside businessman wants to see the train and inspect the business environment, Du Zhongxiao will send a soldier to come here. The soldiers are eating and drinking, and the restaurant has an extra income, which is convenient. Jin San and Ren Ze are not important people. If that is not the case, how could Du Zhongxiao send someone to hand over the letter?

The three of them were drinking when they suddenly heard someone shouting outside: "Hurry, hurry, the train is going to drive outside, what is the number!"

When Jin San heard this, he hurriedly got up, lay down by the window, and said, "The train is about to drive, let's see!"

Ren Ze hurriedly stood up, went to Jin San, and watched the train outside together. Yang Sanwen picked up the glass, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, picked up a piece of fish and ate it, and then got up behind the two of them.

I saw white steam coming out in front of a train outside. Someone shouted the loader back and kept waving the small flag. After a while, a long whistle sounded, and the gasping train slowly moved forward, and the speed became faster and faster. When I left the station, it was like a rushing lightning.

Jin San was stunned. Many cars were connected together, except for the ones in front of the air, and they were filled with goods. The first few sections were all black, and Jin San didn't recognize that it was coal. Shengzhou was full of coal and the quality was excellent. The trains all the way to Bingzhou, and the coal from Shengzhou was used. Most of the last few sections were shipped livestock. Although sheep should not be sold in this season, there were many live cattle and horses imported into the Central Plains. There were also several sections wrapped in boxes, and I didn't know what was contained in it.

There are huge numbers on the carriage, which is the number of numbers that are shouted outside. The merchants shipped goods to Zhongyuan, and the station gave them a receipt. There were only loading cars on it. They could not see it at the specific time when the car was departing.

Until the train disappeared, Jin San and Ren Ze lay by the window with an incredible expression.

Yang Sanwen said: "The train has already gone far. It is better for two people to go back and use some wine and food. Deliver a few more cars. The next time it will be Hebin sent here. After seeing the departure, check the train to enter the station later, and this trip is worth it."

Jin San and Ren Ze returned to the table and sat blankly together, not recovering from the shock just now. After a while, Jin San said to Yang Sanwen: "Dianzhi, how many trips can a car like this be sent in a day? How long can I get to the capital?"

Yang Sanwen said: "It's hard to say how many trips a day or a day. There are thirty or forty rows when there are fewer. There are more than a dozen rows when there are more than two thousand miles to the capital. It takes five days to reach the capital here."

Jin San was startled: "My God! I heard that the train can be kept on the road. If this is the case, wouldn't it be 20 or 30 miles in one hour?"

Yang Sanwen said: "The official is wrong. The train can be 50 or 60 miles in one hour. You only need to add water and coal on the road, so you can keep going. However, there is only one railway to the capital. It takes twice as much time to prevent two vehicles from colliding. If two railways are built between the two capitals, it only takes two or three days to reach the capital. Shengzhou is a key place in Hequ. I heard that the court intends to build another road."

Jin San and Ren Ze looked at each other and couldn't believe it: "More than two thousand miles, there is a road paved with iron in the country. Oh my God, if the goods on the truck are transported, how many camels and horses are needed! In the future, as long as the goods are transported here, will it be very easy to go to the capital?"

Yang Sanwen said: "Of course it's easy! Train transport can't cost much money, and expensive goods, so the freight is not counted."

Jin San nodded: "Oh - So that's it! Then, as long as you sell goods here, you can do business with the Central Plains! I wonder if Shangguo intends to start a business here and allow foreigners to do business?"

Yang Sanwen said: "What do the outsider thinks there are so many people sitting outside for? Many of them are doing business with foreign countries. If you sell goods to the Central Plains, you don't need to transport them here. In a few months, the railway will be connected to Hezhou and transport them there."

Jin Sandao: "That is the case, shouldn't the trade in the Western Regions be in Hezhou?"

Yang Sanwen said: "Of course not. It's just that when transporting it there, it's just saving you thousands of miles. Whether it's people or things, you must submit a letter in Shengzhou to get on the train. It's another matter if you don't enter the Central Plains."

Shengzhou is the gateway to the Central Plains. Only when you are allowed here can you enter the mainland. In addition to managing people and preventing military information, you also have to collect taxes on goods. In the words of later generations, this is the customs and foreign goods must be subject to tariffs.

As the center of Hequ Road, Shengzhou provides various conveniences for foreign merchants, of course not for free. With railways, the area is sparsely populated and developing agriculture is not very necessary. Reclamation of fields is only a consolidation of the border, which is different from the previous dynasties' military farming and garrison troops. The current military rations can be transported from the mainland. Whether the land camp or grazing business depends on which economic advantage is.
