332, [Wharf]
There are many kinds of food here, and the ingredients in the sea are even more abundant.
In addition, there is a place for fishing boats to be repaired next to it, so fishermen like to send some of the things they just harvested to the kitchen nearby, and sell them at a good price to leave more time to trim the boats and fishing nets for themselves. Both sides were very happy.
Many diners also recognized this and would come here specifically to taste fresh goods from the sea, making the business here very popular. From Fang Chang and Chen Yuan's table, you can feel that the attendance rate is 80%. In the hall, the cups and dishes are rumbling, and various fragrances are scattered everywhere.
In front of the two, six or seven kinds of fish were served in the white porcelain plate. According to the type, they were stewed, steamed, fried, fried, fried and roasted with vegetables that are common in winter. In addition, there was a plate of fried shrimp and boiled shrimp with ingredients, a plate of fried garlic and fried shellfish, a plate of lean meat soup, cold jellyfish skin, and pork belly crispy kelp.
Although the place is limited to the scale and the means are not very rich, the ingredients are rare and fresh and delicious. Chen Yuan was very happy to eat like the diners around him.
While talking to Fang Chang, he kept eating and drinking, and soon he was half full.
Seeing this, Fang Chang let go of his speed a little, so he didn't see much movement in his hands, and he was elegant and steady, but the dishes on the table decreased rapidly.
Seeing this strange scene, Chen Yuan was stunned for a few breaths, and then exclaimed:
"Mr. Fang is really a god."
At this time, two friends in the store came over, one of them carrying the pallets, and the other one opened the way for carrying the pallets, and moved the tabletop dish to make room.
"Two guests, shark fins are here, please use them slowly."
Then the shop guys took two bowls from the tray and placed them in front of Fang Chang and Chen Yuan.
Fang Chang smiled at Chen Yuan and said:
"This is a rare thing. I didn't meet it last time when I came here. The shop said that it was a sea wolf that was fierce and difficult to catch, and it needed to grow and maintain its shape for a long time, otherwise it would be difficult to chew.
"I'm lucky today, there are shark fins to order. Let's try it and see what this rumored treasure tastes like."
The two of them moved their chopsticks together and picked them up from the bowl to taste.
But this shark fin soup disappointed Fangchang. Although it used a lot of good seasonings in it, the ingredients themselves tasted average, just like chewy fans. Some...the name doesn't match, but the price is not low.
Fang Chang shook his head, fearing that he would come here again next time, so there was no need to choose this dish.
He smiled at Chen Yuan opposite and said, "It doesn't look as delicious as the rumors. Perhaps more people just eat this rare and famous one." Chen Yuan echoed, expressing his agreement, and then the two laughed together.
After dinner, they said goodbye at the door.
Chen Yuan said to the side long:
"Thank you for your hospitality today. In the next few years, in order to pursue the beautiful scenery of various places, the money you earned on the road has been spent on the road, and there is not much extra money to spend on food and drink. Today, this is considered a bit of meat."
"However, food from all over the world is actually part of the scenery in the world. When I am more comfortable in the future, I can consider writing the food characteristics of various places into my travel notes, so that those who read in the future can experience the flavors of various places without leaving home."

Chaoyungang's official wharf is very prosperous, with masts coming and going like forests.
The dock is very crowded, and due to the lack of sufficient orderly management, the goods are piled up a little messy. Many people holding paper and pencils are commuting and counting statistics.
But on this pier, the most are the contract workers.
Some people do this for many years, while others are just the people around them who come to work in a short-term job while the slack farm.
After all, although I am tired here, I can do it with the strength and I always have no shortage of work. Compared to digging food from the soil, my income is quite good. Even if I work for a short period of time, I can buy a few more kilograms of meat and pull a few more feet of cloth at the end of the year, and I can also buy a headband mud doll for my children and add a quilt to my parents.
They carried vine buns, and came up and down, transported goods from the ship, transported supplies into the ship, or moved the goods from the pile yard, the surrounding warehouse, or the carriage on the side of the road, according to the instructions of the employer, and calculated the money from the foreman according to the pieces.
However, the working people have a lot of wisdom. They have also invented many physically-saving tools, such as booms, chutes, pulleys, etc., which are widely used here. But often, these things will cause later generations to be suppressed by employers - they will say that they can't use so much effort, so they will naturally not give the previous amount of money.
Mr. Fang stood here, looked around, and immediately came up with good eyesight and greeted him: "Sir, are you looking for a boat or a cargo?"
"What do you say when looking for a boat? What do you say when looking for goods?" Fang Chang asked casually after hearing what he came to chat with.
Seeing that Fang Chang was interested in this, the other party was obviously energetic:
"Hey, sir, you should know that our Chaoyungang is the largest port for hundreds of miles north and south. The number of ships and the number of goods collected every day can be scary. Therefore, when you come here, there are often only two types of people dress like you, either looking for a ship or a cargo."
"Those who look for ships often have goods on their hands, are preparing to find buyers who rented the boat, or find the ship to transport them elsewhere; those who look for goods are coming from other places, preparing to buy batches of goods here, and transport them back to the countryside and get a large amount of silver and money inflow."
"And many people who come here for other things often change to the latter on the way back. After all, the chance of losing money in such a thing is very low, which is safe and affordable."
Fang Chang looked at the other person with a clever voice and said with a smile:
"I am neither the one in front nor the one behind. I am alone, and I am not carrying goods or preparing to buy goods. I just want to find a passenger ship to go to the East China Sea."
Hearing Fang Chang's words, the man with a green cotton coat and a small hat on the opposite side, with a short figure and a wide mouth and a bright eyes, suddenly slapped his thigh and said:
"Then, sir is in the third category, and there are many such people. After all, whether you go south or north, you can take a boat by sea. There are a few suitable boats here. Do you consider it? The price is absolutely fair and cost-effective."
Fang Chang smiled:
"Since it's fate, I'll take me to see you. Just set off to the East China Sea as soon as possible."
"Don't worry," the man patted his chest and promised, "The ships here are big, strong and strong, and are not afraid of wind and waves. The captain and sailors are also old experts for many years, so I guarantee that you will be satisfied."
"But, the customer is not considering bringing some goods? Buy wholesale goods, rent some cargo spaces on our ships, and sell them in the East China Sea, and you will get a lot of profit."
Fang Chang smiled and rejected him.
