Chapter 86 Fish Porridge
Because the East Market is close to the Imperial Palace, and the nearby is the residence of dignitaries, the people who do business in the market seem much more elegant, and they do not sell as loudly as the West Market. I just waited for someone to get close before I stepped forward to ask.
Gongliang walked with Mi Gu and Yuan Rolling for a while, and suddenly smelled a fragrance at the same time.
This fragrance is fresh and natural, faint, not herbaceous, with a moisture of moisture, tempting and greedy.
Mi Gu smelled the fragrance, and immediately fanned his wings and stood on the head of the poop, and the golden rooster looked into the distance with his independent hand on the canopy, only to see a couple in the alley not far away, a couple was setting up a stall to do business.
A rugged man with a small fish-killing knife in his hand quickly lifted a thin slice from a piece of crystal-white fish meat and placed it on a small clay plate.
The woman next to her immediately took the clay plate, poured the fish meat into the small pot next to the small stove that was already boiling, and then added shredded ginger, adding two spoonfuls of white rice and ancestral secret winter vegetables.
After a few rolls, the fish is cooked, the soup becomes thicker, the white rice is softened, and the ancestral secret winter vegetables are delicious, and the woman throws in a pinch of fresh green wild vegetables, picks up a small spoon and picks out a little fried chives and salt powder from the clay pot at hand, and pours it into the large bowl that has been prepared on the left, and serves it to the guests.
"Guest, your fish porridge is here. ”
When a Confucian saw the fish porridge brought by the woman, he couldn't wait to pick up a piece of fish meat and chew it, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but look up and praise the woman who had not yet left: "Madam, your skills are getting better and better." It's just a little strange, in recent days, the fish in this fish porridge seems to be more delicious and delicious than before. ”
The woman smiled and said, "The guests are old guests, and they should know that the fish used in my fish porridge is brought by my wife and I from the river every morning." ”
"Naturally. Confucius nodded.
"Somehow, for the past few days, a group of strange fish has come up from the river, with fierce temperament and sharp teeth. The water tribe in the river was considered to have suffered a disaster, and most of it was eaten in a few days. The river elder was afraid that the water tribe in the river would be eaten by strange fish, so he went to the court. The imperial court ordered me and other fishermen to arrest them, and anyone who caught them could go to the yamen to receive a reward. It's just that the strange fish is fierce, huge, and the smallest is more than three feet long, how can mortals like me catch it!"
As she spoke, the woman ran to the side and pulled out some sharp teeth.
"Look, this is the strange fish tooth, but it's fierce. ”
Confucius took the tooth and looked at it, it was indeed sharp, the tooth alone was a palm long, you can imagine the huge size of the strange fish.
He said strangely: "Since the strange fish is fierce, how did you catch it?"
"I don't have the skills to wait. ”
The woman said: "Speaking of which, those strange fish have a bad life, and they can't stay in their own water, but they just swim to our territory." When the desolate people in the city heard that there were big fish in the river, they ran to see them. Those desolate people are so violent, as soon as they see the big fish, they jump into the water one after another to catch them, and the small ones deal with them, and the big ones deal with them. In just half a day, he killed more than a dozen strange fish. They couldn't eat so many big fish, so He Lao came forward to exchange things with them and then distribute them to us, otherwise we would not have fish porridge to sell. ”
"Madam, don't just talk about other people's beauty, and serve us a bowl of fish porridge!"
One guest teased.
When the guests heard this, they burst out laughing.
Most of the people who come here to eat porridge are old customers, and they know that the woman has a problem, that is, she likes to talk to a beautiful young man with red lips and white teeth, so these old customers often laugh at her about it. The woman had long since seen the strangeness.
"Okay, right away. ”
The woman responded, and said to Confucius: "Guests, please use it slowly, the slut is busy." ”
Confucius said politely: "Thank you, Madame, for your doubts." ”
Seeing it in the distance, Mi Gu immediately flapped his wings and flew to Baba and said, "Baba is selling delicious fish and fish porridge over there." ”
Needless to say, Gongliang has already seen that he is not blind at such a close distance. In view of the fact that the little guy always likes to step on his head, he warned again: "Don't always step on Daddy's head, be careful that Daddy hits your ass." ”
"Baba, even when you stand on your head, you can see things in the distance. The little guy blinked and said with big eyes, and it made sense.
"Don't you have wings, you won't fly up there!"
"It's not good to look when you fly up. Mi Gu explained to Ba Ba very seriously.
In fact, she likes to stand on the head of the poop, and she feels that it is fun to step on the head of the poop. Of course, she wouldn't tell Baba that Baba would spank her little ass.
Gongliang felt that what this little kid said was like a proverb that circulated in southern Fujian, "Tell the ghost to drag the tiger - deceive the howling boy", which means that the ghost let the tiger be dragged away, which is completely impossible, only a fool will believe it.
He also can't do anything about this little guy, he has said it more than once, but after listening to it, the little guy seems to have forgotten, and next time it will be the same.
can only let her go, anyway, it's not a big deal, it's hard to really beat her little ass.
Gongliang smacked his lips and wanted to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything, and walked with them to the stall selling fish porridge, intending to try what the fish porridge tasted like?
The couple who made fish porridge and sold it in the East Market is quite famous in Dragon City, and they have been making fish porridge with the fish they caught that day, and selling whatever they hit. People in Dragon City often bet on what kind of fish porridge they would eat that day, and sometimes some people guessed, but more often they didn't guess at all.
Qingyang School Palace once had a great Confucian come here to eat fish porridge and wrote a poem that ridiculed his friends:
"The autumn water cold fish is white brocade scales, and the ginger flowers are really fragrant.
Zhuge jade grits are really poor, and they seem to be like Mr. This is precious. ”
After the couple who sold fish porridge got this poem, they cherished it and took it to frame it and hung it on the wall next to the stall, and they would take it back every day, for fear that someone would take it away.
This also led to the phenomenon that whenever a Confucian student with great talent came here to eat porridge, he would write his own poems next to the Confucian verses. Over time, the wall next to the fish porridge stall was filled with dense poems, and it became a scene of a small stall.
In order to admire the demeanor of their predecessors, many children of Qingyang Xuegong will come here to watch, which also drives the business of the stall.
The woman was immersed in boiling fish porridge, when she suddenly felt someone approaching, and when she looked up, she saw a stout young man with a black, white and white strange bear approaching.
On his shoulder, there is also a pink and handsome girl with a colorful tail and wings. The pink little face, the cute little appearance, immediately attracted the woman's attention.
Seeing that a guest was coming, the woman hurriedly poured the boiled fish porridge into a clay bowl and served it to the guest, and wiped a table with a clean rag that no one was sitting on, before saying to Gongliang: "The guest sits here first, and there are still a few guests whose porridge has not been cooked, and then cook the guest's portion when it is ready." Whether the guest wants fish meat, fish intestines, fish maw, and fish tail. There is no fish head today, and recently the fish head is too hard to cook. ”
Gongliang looked left and right, and found that the bowl of fish porridge was not very large, and it was not enough for them to eat, so he said: "Three bowls of fish meat, fish intestines, and fish maw." ”
"Baba, occasionally eat fish tails. Mi Gu hugged Baba's neck and said in a milky voice.
"If you have a tail, you don't have meat. Gongliang reminded.
Mi Gu thought about it with difficulty before deciding to eat meat, because there was no meat on the tail of the fish, which she had eaten.
When the woman heard Gongliang's words, she asked, "Guest, do you want to eat so much?"
Gongliang smiled: "Don't worry, we have a lot of food, I'm afraid that we won't have enough to eat, and I'm not afraid that we can't eat." ”
"Wait a minute, then, and the woman will cook yours when she's done cooking their portion." ”
"Don't worry. ”
The woman was about to cook fish porridge, but when she saw the cute appearance of the little guy, she couldn't help but say, "This girl is so handsome." ”
Mi Gu was not shy, and when he heard the woman's words, he flew and stood on the shoulders of Baba with his hands on his waist and his chin cocked, looking like he was so powerful that the woman giggled.
An acquaintance next to him joked: "Qi Niang, if you like it, give birth to one yourself." ”
The woman was used to messing around in the market, and she was not afraid of his ridicule, so she replied sharply: "We can't give birth to such a handsome baby." This is a fairy doll, not a layman like us. ”
She has stayed in Dragon City for so long, and she can be considered a little knowledgeable, knowing that Mi Gu is not an ordinary person. Besides, can ordinary people grow tail wings?
