Su Yong and others secretly protected and left the palace by car, and soon came to Jiefang Street, the largest commercial pedestrian street in the southeast of Zhongdu City.
This street is the product of the expansion of Zhongdu City. When Su Yonglin first entered Zhongdu City, it was gradually born with the expansion of Zhongdu City.
At that time, there was a reasonable commercial street in Zhongdu City. After Su Yonglin expanded Zhongdu, it gradually increased to three streets, except Jiefang Street, outer manchuria Corner Commercial Street, which was called Fuxing Street, and the southwest corner Commercial Street was called Prosperity Street.
Full of strong flavor of the times.
The three commercial streets have built a prosperous commercial circle in the southeast, southwest and northeast of the capital city, which has a northwest corner compared with the commercial circle, and belongs to the commercial circle that is not found in the areas where state-owned enterprises are located.
And each of these three commercial streets can be regarded as a comprehensive commercial street that pays attention to the nature of daily life, such as food and entertainment, and is deeply loved by residents in Zhongdu and foreigners.
But to say which street Su Yonglin likes best is of course Jiefang Street in the southeast corner.
This is not to say which street is more prosperous.
In fact, the prosperity of the three streets is almost not high, and Su Yonglin’s policy support for small traders is the same
Su Yonglin likes Jiefang Street for a simple reason, because the food in Jiefang Street suits his appetite best.
Although Su Yonglin’s ancestral home is Shandong, he grew up in a land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, and his taste is inevitable. He likes southern rice more than northern cakes.
However, there are many restaurants and restaurants in Jiefang Street, where food tends to the south.
After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the proportion of rice in the diet structure of China people began to increase from the Song Dynasty.
Song people are good at cooking rice and like his ingredients to cook rice.
According to the different ingredients, there are polished rice, Yujing rice, flat peach rice, stone marrow rice, golden rice, plate-swimming rice, pengfan rice, big bone rice, Erhong rice and Xi-xi rice, etc.
It is precisely because of eating rice that many things have been developed, which are different from those in Sui and Tang Dynasties. People used to increase the consumption of rice by a large margin, so the yield of native rice was insufficient, so the Song people still needed to import rice from abroad to meet the needs of the Ministry.
The famous Zhancheng Rice entered China during this period.
After the Song Dynasty, the climate and hydrology in the south of the Yangtze River were more suitable for growing rice, and the habit of eating rice gradually overwhelmed the habit of the residents of the Central Plains in the Northern Song Dynasty who inherited the Sui and Tang Dynasties to eat all kinds of cakes.
Su Yonglin’s living environment and the memory of later generations’ love of rice naturally have many preferences for rice.
He likes to eat all kinds of boiled rice, as well as all kinds of vegetable rice and fried rice. Young people and teenagers are absolute rice activists. Without rice, a meal can’t be delicious.
However, when he went north and east, the hard conditions and customs in the Central Plains made him have to accept the reality that when in Rome, he had to do as the Romans do and eat all kinds of cakes and snacks with the army soldiers, or whatever he had.
No picky eaters and no special incarnations will lead the revolution.
Before asking others to do it, you can do it yourself and strictly abide by it, so as to establish prestige and maintain discipline.
During the occupation of Zhongdu and a few years before the founding of the People’s Republic of China, due to financial difficulties, Su Yonglin still didn’t improve his food much, eating kitchen cakes and drinking pickles soup and practicing frugality.
It was not until three years after the founding of the People’s Republic of China that the situation abroad improved and the court’s finances gradually became affluent that Su Yonglin had improved his diet.
If you can improve, you have to improve. There is no need to hold on to the bitter day all the time.
No one said that revolutionaries should be poor and backward, and exploiters should be luxurious.
If the distribution is well done, the so-called luxury will eventually become a mass business. His goal is to make luxury gradually become a mass business and make all civilians no longer have luxury attributes
So Su Yonglin in the palace added various kinds of fried rice with eggs, all kinds of iron plate rice, all kinds of clay pot rice and all kinds of braised rice with vegetables and meat to the royal menu, and so on.
These rice eating methods have also flowed into a part of Gongting cuisine, a popular dish of the people, with the pork dishes being made public.
All kinds of restaurants and stalls in the three commercial districts in Zhongdu, the birthplace of Gongting cuisine, are keeping up with the trend of the times and striving to promote Gongting cuisine. How to eat all kinds of food in magic change can be described as a hundred flowers blossom and compete for beauty.
So from the third and a half year of Hongwu, the proportion of cake food eaten by residents in Zhongdu Center began to decline.
However, the number of staple foods such as direct rice rice and husked wheat rice began to increase.
The openness of the royal menu has also taught ordinary people a lot of delicious rice practices, and their impression of rice is no longer limited to cooking, and such delicious practices are not limited to the society.
Taking advantage of this wave, the government’s preferential tax policies and the subsidy policies for small and micro vendors, the newly opened restaurants in three commercial streets began to be named [certain restaurant] or [certain restaurant] to specialize in all kinds of meals.
Steamed rice, cooked rice, soaked rice, fried rice, braised rice and so on.
Su Yonglin was very happy when he learned that once he was free or felt a lot of pressure accumulated, he would pull people to the commercial street to find a small restaurant to eat.
This is his only hobby known to court officials.
For Su Yonglin’s personal morality and public interests, Xin Qiji is full of admiration. Su Yonglin demands others to be strict with self-discipline, and at the same time, he can be exactly the same, even higher than this.
Those extravagant habits and ostentation and extravagance of the former royal family have been abolished here, and a few personal hobbies have left the palace and secretly went out to visit a restaurant for dinner.
Going out to eat is also a matter of paying your own money and treating yourself. The entourage can have a meal with him without paying.
Although it is quite stressful for most accompanying officials.
Because Su Yonglin pulls people out to eat without looking at people, generally speaking, if you have an idea, just pull a person out or go out on the way, and when you see an official who has nothing urgent to do, just pull him out to eat.
If it’s okay to be close to the official and change to a small official who is not familiar with Su Yonglin and knows that he is famous, will he be frightened?
Xin Qiji still remembers that when he went out with Su Yonglin, Su Yonglin just pulled a young official to run errands, and the young official was scared.
It’s really not easy to sit and eat with their two bosses. He is afraid of losing a grain of rice when eating, which will make Su Yonglin unhappy.
Xin Qiji guessed that this guy didn’t even know what he had eaten.
However, Su Yonglin felt happy about this.
Today, it’s good that Hu Wei is a senior and middle-level cadre of the Renaissance Association, and a relatively excellent cadre since the founding of the Renaissance Association. Otherwise, it would be impossible to replace Jiang Yucheng as a new prefect.
But I’m still a little nervous if I want to say nervous
So Hu Wei is one position behind Su Yonglin and walks with Xin Qiji to ask questions in a low voice.
"Director Xin, I heard that the chairman likes to take officials out to eat. Is this an assessment?"
Xin Qiji looked ahead and Su Yonglin left and right and looked happy. He smiled and shook his head.
"Don’t be nervous, Chairman. He’s very tired when dealing with politics in the palace every day. It’s rare to come out for dinner. He won’t have his thoughts. He just wants to eat."
Hu Wei nodded his head in disbelief.
"Many people say that this may be a way for the chairman to evaluate officials."
"Don’t think too much, Chairman. I really want to examine officials. There are several ways. There is no need to do such a thing at such a happy time."
Xin Qiji smiled and said, "Just relax and rest. There is no other meaning. Don’t think too much. You can eat whatever you want. The chairman pays the bill."
"Really?"
Hu Wei was stunned. "Isn’t this equivalent to the chairman’s treat?"
"If you say so, it’s true. I’ve had several meals and I haven’t paid for them. Don’t worry, Chairman, the problem of eating has always been generous."
Xin Qiji patted Hu Wei on the shoulder and smiled happily.
At this time, there are many restaurants and stalls opening for breakfast business in Zhongdu Morning Street, and this street is also full of people rushing to eat breakfast and then go to work.
It is worth mentioning that Zhongdu is a city that never sleeps, which has a Lin ‘an style in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Su Yonglin Hongwu cancelled the curfew in Zhongdu in two and a half years. Up to now, there are quite a few night cats in Zhongdu even after midnight, and no one does business for about an hour at the deepest night.
After the night market is over, the morning market will open an hour later.
Shopkeepers and vendors who sell breakfast are very diligent, get up early and come here early to finish their stores and stalls, get ready for cutting and heating, and wait for hungry diners to take care of business.
Chapter 165 Zhongdu Morning Market
There are not many commercial streets in Zhongducheng that sell breakfast.
Many residential streets also have street vendors who get up early to sell breakfast, but some famous stores will make their own names in the commercial street, and the commercial street will start their own morning market wars early in the morning.
If residents in all schools don’t get up late or are in a hurry to go out, they will usually choose three commercial streets to satisfy themselves.
As far as the eyes are concerned, there is almost no difference between Zhongdu Morning Market and Lin ‘an Morning Market in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is as prosperous as a sea of people, as rich in variety, and full of aroma, which is Su Yonglin’s favorite.
If it is more specific, it can be regarded as an all-inclusive breakfast, ranging from northern pasta to Jiangnan meals
Walking along the street and looking at both sides, you can see fragrant sesame cakes, tofu flowers, cakes, crab meat steamed bread, crystal buns, fried vegetable cakes, steamed dumplings, shrimp dumplings and so on at the street stalls. The smell is mouth-watering.
All kinds of stalls are piled up early for past diners to watch and choose.
Diners read it and tell the stall owner what they want to eat, and then sit on the low stool beside the stall. The stall owner will put the food on the low table in front of him and wait for it.
If diners have plenty of time and money, pay more attention to the pleasure and comfort of eating breakfast, and want to have a variety, then abandon the street stalls and go directly to the street breakfast shop.
