Chapter 246 Bird Dispute Zhang Qiming wrote hard until late at night and finally finished his calculated the time and estimated that it would be dawn in another hour. So, he didn't sleep either. "Zhou..." He turned around and was about to call Zhou Jiaxing, when he saw that Zhou Jiaxing had fallen asleep on the table. Lying on the materials he had sorted out. These are the people from Yangzhou, these are the people from Qingshan Martial Arts Academy! In order to do what you want to do and know what to do, you can forget about food and sleep. Zhang Qiming had seen him in the mine, practiced in the steel mill, and seen him in Qingshan Martial Arts Academy. This is what a normal person in Yangzhou looks like! Instead of those people in Xuzhou who only think about money and are swimming butterfly in a cesspool! So he didn't call Zhou Jiaxing, but picked up the newspaper Zhou Jiaxing had put on the bookshelf. He naturally wouldn't read the information Zhou Jiaxing had compiled. The newspaper was called "Reform" and was delivered to three states every five days to promote reform policies.
Yangzhou, Yuzhou and Jingzhou have been controlled by the Reform Association. Of the nine provinces in the world, one third are in the hands of the Reform Association. When leaving Yangzhou, Zhang Qiming read the 30th issue, and now the latest one Zhou Jiaxing has is only the 32nd issue. Both issues of the newspaper contain regular content. How to ensure a stable harvest of summer grain in the three states? When a severe flood hit southern Yangzhou, we had to organize disaster relief. What about disciplining someone in the Justice Bureau? What steel mill has steadily increased production in June and is recruiting workers? The fourth batch of graduates from Qingshan Martial Arts Academy are about to graduate. But this news, which was originally boring in Zhang Qiming's eyes, made him read it with great interest. Compared with Picheng and Xuzhou, these things are ordinary, but behind these things is a system that is completely different from Picheng. After he finished reading the two newspapers, he thought about it and started writing another report, "On the Feasibility of Using Tathagata Forbidden Flame to Increase Carbon in the Steelmaking Process." As he was writing, he suddenly heard the chirping of birds outside. It was already daybreak before I knew it, and I continued writing with my head down. The dawn did not prevent him from continuing to write. "Zhou Jiaxing! Zhou Jiaxing! The master is here! Get up quickly!" A voice came from the mind, and along with the sound of knocking on the window, it echoed in the room. Zhang Qiming opened the window, and a huge crow fluttered in. The crow fluttered in, stood on the desk, and knocked Zhou Jiaxing on the forehead with its black beak, waking Zhou Jiaxing up, and then tilted its head to look at Zhang Qiming. "Who are you? Zhou Jiaxing, so you are this..." Crow tilted his head and was about to make up a rumor, but he couldn't continue. Because a blue sword energy surrounded him. "Ha ha ha! Zhou Jiaxing, get up quickly, someone is trying to murder me!" The crow was so scared that its fur stood up. It said, "I have a regular job, with five social insurances and one housing fund. If you kill me, you will offend the Bird Police Bureau and Dean Shi!" "...Mind your own business!" Zhang Qiming has graduated for a few years after all, how could he not know about this shit? The Bird Delivery Bureau was set up by Dean Shi to deliver letters. There are all kinds of birds, including crows, pigeons, albatrosses, wild geese, owls, etc. Dean Shi even specially designated a mountainous area for them to live in.
Among these birds, the one with the best reputation is the owl, which is handsome and no nonsense. The worst reputation is pigeons. As for pigeons... they really stand you up. You were waiting for the mail to be delivered, but the pigeon stood you up. You would want to cook the pigeon into soup! Therefore, pigeons are mostly used by ordinary people. People in the Jiangnan Bureau, for example, prohibit the use of pigeons to send messages. They mostly use owls, and occasionally crows. Crows are smart, alert, and good at everything except gossip. Fortunately, they only gossip about gossip, not the content of the letter. "I have made contributions to the Reform Association, and I have worked hard for Dean Shi! You can't kill me, I want to see the dean, I want to see the dean!" said the black crow, jumping up and down. "Oh~ That's an old senior from Qingshan Martial Arts Academy, not an outsider. Stop making noise!" After being woken up by him, Zhou Jiaxing felt a headache because of his noise. He couldn't help rubbing his face and said. "Huh~ Qingshan Martial Arts Academy?" Crow rolled his eyes and asked, "Which batch of Qingshan were you in?" "You talk so much nonsense, you must be the Crow, right?" Zhang Qiming did not respond to the Crow's words, but asked back. Only people from Qingshan Martial Arts Academy would ask someone which batch of Qingshan students they were from. Why would a crow like you ask which batch of Qingshan students they were from? "Hey, you actually know me!" said the crow, tilting his head. In the bird department, there are dozens of crows. They all look the same to humans, and vice versa, humans also look the same to them, and it is impossible to tell which is which. "Most of the crows have had their mouths sewn by me, so they all recognize me. You are the only one who doesn't recognize me and is a gossiper!" said Zhang Qiming. "Caw!!! You are a mouth-sewing maniac! Zhou Jiaxing, you are going to kill me! I came to pick up something, but I actually met a mouth-sewing maniac!" The crow cawed. There is a terrible legend circulating in the crow circle. There was a man who did all kinds of evil. Whenever he saw a crow, he would sew up its mouth with thread so that the crow could not drink water or eat. He wanted to starve the crows to death! "If you just keep your words down, no one will sew your mouth shut!" Zhou Jiaxing said, comforting the crow. He picked up the documents that had been sorted out on the table, folded them, and stuffed them into the waterproof leather bag behind Crow, saying, "Arrived on time!" "Of course! We are the bird police department, and we will accomplish our mission no matter it rains or shines!" The crow looked at Zhang Qiming beside it, fluttered to the window, flapped its wings and flew into the sky. In the past, he would have liked to have a few pleasantries with Zhou Jiaxing, but today, with the seam-mouthed devil around, he decided to give up. "Oh no! How did I fall asleep!" Zhou Jiaxing sent the information away. He yawned and said, "Let me make some food!" "I'll go with you." Zhang Qiming said. He learned to cook in the mine. By the time Monk Fusheng was called up, breakfast was ready. He simply washed up and came to the dining table, where he saw porridge made of millet and rice, a few steamed buns, and a few stacks of pickles. The pickled vegetables include radish, pickled vegetables, mustard tuber, and pickled beans. This is breakfast. Zhang Qiming broke open a steamed bun, put some pickled vegetables in it, took a bite, and said, "What a familiar taste!" This is how people who work in Yangzhou eat.
Steamed buns are made of starch mixed with salt from pickles. Only if you eat a full meal in the morning can you do heavy work. Fusheng saw Zhang Qiming eating like this and also tried it. The steamed buns are a little sour and very soft, and the pickles are salty and fragrant, really delicious! After dinner, Fusheng and Zhang Qiming said goodbye to Zhou Jiaxing and they were going to Jicheng. Fu Sheng is very curious about Yoshiki. Because no matter in the mouth of Zhang Qiming or Zhou Jiaxing, Jicheng is a good place. I remember when I was a child, breakfast was like this: a bowl of porridge, steamed buns and pickles.
