Along with the drizzle of rain, the sky gradually became brighter.

After Fang Xuanling and others had a simple breakfast, they set off on their own.

The cruise ship in Taiye Pool has long been moved outside the Daming Palace.

"Even Danfeng Street has such deep water, and other places are probably even more serious!"

Standing on the bow of the boat holding an umbrella, Fang Xuanling saw a scene full of vicissitudes of life.

Many people stood on the rooftops and shouted for help when they saw ships passing by.

There are also some places where the water is not very deep, and the people are working hard to build a dam and pour the water in the yard out basin by basin.

"Prime Minister, this heavy rain really came too suddenly and fell too fast. The key is that it lasted for such a long time. To be honest, I have almost never encountered such heavy rain since I was a child."

Lan He followed Fang Xuanling to Workshop City.

If Li Shimin is not found immediately, everyone will feel uneasy.

The boat continued to move forward, but after a quarter of an hour, there was no water on the street in front of it.

We had no choice but to get off the boat.

However, no one knows how long it will take before there will be a pile of water, so there are still a few people who are dedicated to towing the cruise ship forward.

Fortunately, Fang Xuanling had already considered the difficulty of sailing in Chang'an City, so he chose a smaller cruise ship.

Although the number of people who can sit is relatively limited, the advantage is the flexibility of movement.

"Fang Xiang, it seems that the waterproofing measures and sewers of each building in Chang'an City are different. This heavy rain has really tested the waterproofing capabilities of Chang'an City."

Cen Wenwen followed Fang Xuanling while looking at the damage on both sides.

Although there is no accumulation of water in this section of the street, it is full of mud. After walking for a long time, your shoes will be covered with dirt, and your body will inevitably become dirty.

Fang Xuanling slipped and almost fell.

Just walking and taking a boat, Fang Xuanling and his party headed towards Mingde Gate with great difficulty.

"Fang Xiang, Fang Xiang, wait a minute!"

When Fang Xuanling passed Dayefang with her bare feet and her trousers held in both hands, a shout rang out from beside her.

I saw a dozen people wearing special clothes, led by an official, jogging towards Fang Xuanling.

"Who are you?"

Although Fang Xuanling didn't recognize the person in front of him, he saw that there seemed to be a dozen policemen from the Chang'an Police Department riding bicycles behind him, so he stopped to see what was going on.

"Mr. Fang, I am Xie Tianwu, the Prime Minister of Chang'an County, and this is Yan Liang, the director of the Chang'an Police Station. I just heard that you are going out of the city. I have specially sent you some rain boots and raincoats."

As the magistrate of Chang'an County, Xie Tianwu was able to survive for more than ten years? Naturally, he had his own way of being an official.

What was the news about Fang Xuanling and his party? He just got it from the police station, and immediately found that this was a good opportunity to join Fang Xuanling.

Like rain boots and raincoats? The Chang'an County Police Department always has daily necessities prepared.

Especially the police patrolling the streets, who may have to work in heavy rain? So the police department has equipped everyone with special rain boots and raincoats.

Normally, I don’t feel the goodness of these things, but like today, it’s completely different.

Fang Xuanling looked at her bare feet and felt that the flattery would take its toll first.

"Xie Xian Cheng is thoughtful! This morning? The rain is not that heavy anymore. Although the Taishi Bureau said it will stop raining tonight? But the water in some squares in Chang'an City is already declining. You must organize manpower for disaster relief as soon as possible. Don't let it down.

We have gained the people’s trust in us.”

Fang Xuanling simply said a few words to Xie Tianwu and prepared to move on.

"Fang Xiang, don't worry? I have made arrangements early in the morning. The situation in the city is a little chaotic now, so let Yan Liang stay with you. On the one hand, he is very familiar with the situation of each village in Chang'an City? On the other hand,

On the other hand, it can also prevent some desperate people from taking risks."

Although Xie Tianwu saw several guards behind Fang Xuanling, he still pushed Yan Liang out.

Seeing that Fang Xuanling seemed to want to refuse that day, he immediately added: "As the director of the Chang'an County Police Department, Yan Liang is deeply trusted by His Highness the King of Chu. With him by your side, we all feel more at ease."

.”

"Okay then, we are going to Workshop City, and you can go and direct the disaster relief."

…

"Master, why don't you wait until the water subsides a little before we go?"

In Yang Mansion, the impact of heavy rains is relatively limited.

Under Yang Benman's personal leadership, water embankments have been blocked in front of each door with sand and gravel, and there is basically no obvious water accumulation in the mansion.

"The rain has become lighter, and the accumulation of water will definitely become less and less. There is no risk in going to Workshop City now!"

Yang Benman has hundreds of houses in Workshop City, half of which have been delivered.

If this is flooded, Workshop City will never help repair it for free.

Even when it changes hands in the future, it will not be sold at a high price.

After all, a house that has been soaked in water, even if it has never been lived in, can no longer maintain the same price as a normal new house.

Just like the cars that were soaked in water in later generations, even if the car is still in the parking lot of the Fourth Son store, once it is soaked in water, even if there are no problems after repairs, the price will be reduced by at least 20% to 50%.

"Master, our little raft can't accommodate a few people. In this situation, the four-wheeled carriage is obviously unusable. If we want to go to Workshop City, we probably have to wait till dark to get there. We can't even get there before dark.

It's possible."

It is more than ten miles, and if you walk normally, it will take most of the day.

However, if you encounter a scene like today, you definitely cannot treat it as a normal walk.

Therefore, Yang Dong was worried that he would not be able to reach Workshop City at night. It was really possible.

"We have a raft, so as long as we bring dry food, candles, water and a lighter, it won't be a big problem even if we don't get to the workshop city before dark. There is no curfew outside the city, so at worst we will have to walk in the dark. It's raining heavily.

, it’s impossible to go from morning to night, right?”

Yang Benman was obviously determined to go to Workshop City.

All the liquidity that the Yang family could mobilize was invested in buying a house in Workshop City.

If this is really flooded, the damage will be huge.

"Then...Okay! I'll take a few servants and follow you to Workshop City with my boss!"

Seeing that he had no way to persuade Yang Benman, Yang Dong had no choice but to risk his life to accompany the gentleman.

…

To the north of Guiyifang is Tongguifang.

Near Guiyifang, there is a two-story building that houses a famous snack bar called Maxim's Baozi.

As for the name of this steamed bun, it came from the Prince of Chu's Mansion.

Before that, the steamed buns that everyone was familiar with in later generations were called steamed buns by the people of the Tang Dynasty.

The steamed buns that everyone is familiar with in later generations are steamed cakes, which are the cooking cakes of the Song Dynasty!

That’s right, it’s the Wu Dalang cooking cake that everyone is familiar with.

There is another allusion to this change.

Because Song Renzong's name was Zhao Zhen, and the sounds of "Zhen" and "Zheng" were similar, the people of the Song Dynasty at that time changed the name of steamed cakes to cooked cakes in order to avoid taboo.

There are many similar allusions in history.

There is no way, who makes the heaven and earth great, the emperor is the greatest.

"Shopkeeper Wu, the buns have been made. However, we only moved a briquette stove to the second floor. It is not a stove specially used for steaming buns. The firepower is not strong enough, so the steaming may not be as good as before."

Inside Maxim's Steamed Bun Shop, a waiter wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood in front of Wu Ming with a large pot of steamed buns.

Since the terrain of Tongguifang itself is higher than that of Guiyifang, and the new structure of Maxim's Baozi Shop adopts two floors, although the first floor was flooded, many things were moved to the second floor.

You don’t have to worry about running out of food and drink.

After surviving last night's worries and fears, Wu Ming could already feel that the rain was starting to lighten up when the sky started to get dark.

According to this rhythm, all the accumulated water will disappear by the day after tomorrow at most.

How to turn this heavy rain from a scourge into a help is something Wu Ming has been thinking about.

When I saw Guiyifang again that day, which was almost submerged by stagnant water, I finally had an idea and thought of an idea to make money.

"It doesn't matter. At this time, no matter how unpalatable the steamed buns are, as long as they are eaten, everyone will think it is very delicious. Even many years later, when everyone recalls these buns, they may feel that nothing is more delicious than these buns.

The buns."

Tang Ming was able to successfully build a new-style house from an ordinary person in Tongrailfang and run the Maxim's Steamed Bun Shop in a stylish way. Naturally, he had some foresight.

In fact, what he said makes sense.

Many times, whether a food is delicious or not does not entirely depend on the food itself, but is closely related to the environment in which the person lives.

It is estimated that when many people think back to their childhood, they will think that many things at that time were very delicious.
