Siheyuan's Journey Through the Ages

Chapter 46 A Peaceful Journey Home

When Lao Qiao was summarizing, Ma Qing had just finished eating and quickly gave him a thumbs up, "Lao Qiao, your seafood is this good, and what you said is even more insightful. Don't worry, your hometown seafood will be famous throughout the country in the future. By then, people all over the country will eat your seafood, and your family's life will definitely get better."

What could Old Joe do? He smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for your good words. I hope that day will come."

Ma Qing paid the bill. This whole pot cost only 1 yuan. It was real seafood freedom. After saying goodbye, Ma Qing went to the beach to digest his food.

"Xiao Qi, get to work." Ma Qing opened the space door in the sea and saw that the mobile area in the space, which is now the seafood area, was dug into a big pit. A space door appeared above the big pit. The sea water poured down, and the more than 100 acres of seafood area was constantly filled with sea water. Along with the sea water came various shallow sea gravels and seafood. Ma Qing stayed at the beach until the sun was about to set, and finally completed the basic construction of the seafood area. Ma Qing had his own plans for the rest. "Xiao Qi, this seafood area is only more than 100 acres. Can it complete the ecological cycle of aquaculture?"

"Don't worry, I'll put a tide generator in the middle of the seafood area, and get some water purification devices to strictly control the population of each organism in the seafood area. There will be no problem at all. By the way, I've installed water purification devices at every water source in the space to ensure that the water quality in Dreamland is the best on earth." Xiao Qi answered simply.

"Seventh brother is so awesome." Ma Qing gave the free flattery with all his heart.

The night sea breeze brought the sultry heat of September. Ma Qing stood on the passenger ship from Dalian to Tianjin, looking at the dark sea. While there was no one around, Ma Qing secretly opened the space door on the outer surface of the hull of the passenger ship. The robots rushed out to catch seafood for him.

Give me two pots of Dalian abalone.

Give me two scoops of Dalian sea cucumbers.

Give me two baskets of Dalian purple sea urchins.

Big yellow flowers, small yellow flowers, mackerel, oysters, crabs, scallops, and conchs are all caught.

Ma Qing couldn't remember how many he had caught, but it was a lot anyway. Even his cold storage was filled with deep-sea species that could not be farmed. It was free anyway, and he couldn't destroy the ecological balance of the ocean. The extra ones could be used as feed, or at worst, as fertilizer. It was better to be prepared.

When Ma Qingsheng woke up the next day, there was a lot of noise all around. They had arrived in Tianjin.

TJ City, referred to as "Tianjin", also known as Jingu and Jinmen, is a provincial-level administrative region, a municipality directly under the Central Government, a national central city and a megacity of the People's Republic of China. It is located in the North China region of the People's Republic of China, in the lower reaches of the Haihe River Basin, bordering the Bohai Sea to the east, Yanshan Mountain to the north, and the capital Sijiucheng to the west. In his previous life, Ma Qing had no impression of Tianjin except that he knew that people from Tianjin could tell crosstalk.

Ma Qing originally did not plan to stay in Tianjin, because Tianjin was too close to Beijing, and the customs and culture were not that different. Ma Qing no longer had the mood to stay here. As a result, after coming out of Tanggu Port, he did not buy a train ticket for the day at Tanggu Railway Station, and Ma Qing did not want to take a long-distance bus. So he planned to stay in Tianjin for three days. Anyway, he was already here, and he was not short of money, so he simply took a bus to the center of TJ and found a hotel to stay in.

Tianjin Lishun Hotel was one of the famous hotels in Tianjin in the 1950s. Ma Qing did not use the tricks he used in Dalian Hotel this time. When he was checking in, the receptionist turned out to be a literary youth. After further questioning, he found out that Ma Qing was the lyricist of "My Motherland and I". Ma Qing's accommodation suddenly became natural. Ma Qing was secretly proud of himself. He did not expect that he would be famous in Beijing and Tianjin.

Mahua from Guifaxiang, Muslim cakes from Guishunzhai, Maojian from Zhengxingde Tea House, mustard duck feet from Zhengyangchun Duck House, Guobacai from Dafulai, dried tofu from Bengdouzhang, soy sauce from Tianbaolou, steamed buns from Goubuli, western food from Cheeselin, delicious or not, Ma Qing's main focus is on experience, and that's money flowing like water, while buying various tickets and spending, he left with less than 200 yuan. Originally, Ma Qing wanted to experience the atmosphere of Tianjin Crosstalk Garden, but the weather in early September was not so friendly. Ma Qing just entered a garden and turned around and came out. Ma Qing really couldn't make do with the conditions of this era, so he decided not to listen.

Before leaving, Ma Qing bought several bags of Gui Shunzhai's halal pastries and two bottles of Tianjin Zhigu sorghum wine to give as gifts when he returned to the city. He had to bring some local specialties for his loved ones whenever he went out.

On September 8, the Northeast Ring Road tour that lasted more than a month finally came to an end, and Ma Qing finally returned to the courtyard house he had been away from for more than a month.

Sometimes Ma Qing really felt that there was a mysterious force surrounding him. Even though today was Tuesday morning, when Ma Qing entered the hospital, he ran into the third uncle Yan Bugui who possessed the magical skill of "100% goalkeeping success".

"Qing'er, you're back. You've been away for a long time. How is your aunt's house? It seems like you've had a lot of fun. You've become darker." Yan Bugui looked Ma Qing up and down and stared at Ma Qing's backpack.

Well, it's a classic scene. Ma Qing found it funny, but he didn't mind it. As long as it wasn't forced, there was nothing to worry about. Ma Qing opened his backpack, took out a box of Gui Shun Zhai's cakes and handed it to Yan Bugui: "Thank you for your concern, Uncle San. This is a specialty I bought in Tianjin. Please try it. Don't despise it."

"You are a good talker. Now that you have said this, it is my fault for not accepting it. Your uncle did not take it for nothing. Let me tell you one thing. Someone wants to take your house. Don't let him trap you. Everything else is fake. This house in Nanluoguxiang is real. Don't make a fool of yourself."

"Thank you, Uncle San, who is so blind as to covet my Ma family's house?"

"You'll know when the time comes. He hasn't taken any action yet, so there's no point in me saying it first. If he figures it out and doesn't take any action, I'll be considered a rumormonger." Yan Bugui looked towards the courtyard.

"You're right. I'll go back first. I'm exhausted from the journey. I'll catch up on some sleep."

Ma Qing didn't take Yan Bugui's words to heart at all. It was a trivial matter and not worth mentioning. Back in the house, Ma Qing threw his bag away and plunged into his dreamland.

The Dream Village has changed a lot now. Ma Qing looked around and saw a thriving scene everywhere. The second round of staple food has been planted in the staple food area, including 20 mu of rice, 20 mu of wheat, 20 mu of sorghum, and 20 mu of barley. In addition, oats, buckwheat, glutinous rice and other grains have all been planted.

The supplementary food area has everything from corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, soybeans, mung beans, peas, etc.; the vegetable area is more lively, with a wide variety of common and uncommon leafy vegetables, root vegetables, eggplants, melons and fruits, beans, etc. in the north.

Not to mention the fruit section, basically all the fruits and nuts in the north are available, and there are also many varieties of fruits in the south, but most of the fruits may not be available in the short term, and the earliest harvest will take a year;
