Chapter 447 [Drinking the Yangtze River Water and Eating Chongming Crabs] (Two in One Update)

In front of him are three tiled houses hidden under ancient trees and vines, a small courtyard separated by a bamboo fence, fishing nets hanging next to the well, and grape trellises climbing up to green vines next to it, and an old man in his early sixties is sitting at a stone table, with tea in front of him, smoking a dry tobacco pouch.

The green trees, the blue waves, the hanging net, and the old man suddenly formed a quiet and leisurely picture, Zhou Yi pursed his lips, feeling that it was a sin to disturb such an old man.

"Grandpa, someone is looking for you. ”

The bamboo raft girl ran to the well and slapped her hand, grunted her belly, raised her head, and fluttered her youthful hair, but such a wonderful picture was ruined by a peculiar smell, which was a fox odor.

There are thousands of kinds of body odor of girls, each of which is loved and pursued, and the 'Xiangfei Niangniang' also had a fox odor, and Emperor Qianlong just liked it. But Zhou Yi and they don't have this hobby, they couldn't help frowning slightly, they felt that it was a pity, such a beautiful girl suffered from this disease, God is unfair, how will the family marry in the future?

As if seeing the expressions of Zhou Yi and others, the girl's expression darkened, and she ran into the house in a panic and never came out.

"Great monk, why are you here again?"

The old man knocked away the ashes and gave Mingwei a big white eye, obviously not welcoming him.

"This Zhou donor bought a strange stone with a height of 53 meters and a weight of 7,000 tons, and wanted to transport it to Lu Province. It's not easy to travel by air and land, so you have to go by water, so don't you come to find you, the water dragon king?"

Mingwei said with a smile: "It's convenient for you to be convenient with others, and it's time for the Dragon King brother to show his skills." ”

"Fifty-three meters tall strange stone! It turns out that the rich boss has arrived?"

The old man snorted, and didn't look at Zhou Yi and the big monk: "It's not good to have money to do something, buy stones? Do you want to learn from Song Huizong's faint monarch? ”

"Brother Chang, the poor monk doesn't believe it, will you not itch your hands?"

Mingwei doesn't need to be let either. Giggling and sitting opposite the 'Water Dragon King': "The stone is at the South Gate Wharf, just waiting for the old brother's boat; this time it is going to go through the canal, Huaishui, straight into the Yellow River, and then into the Yunshui Mountains, straight to Jianma Lake"

"It happened to be the rainy season, the water level soared, and it was not much difficult to cross the canal from the Yangtze River, but from the tributaries of the Yellow River to the south of Jianma Lake, it was necessary to pass through fifty miles of water ghost beach, and also to cross the Jianshi Canyon. It's too dangerous."

Chang Sihai's eyes lit up, and he unconsciously took over Mingwei's words, and actually chatted.

"It's extremely dangerous for others, but with the poor monk and the dragon king's elder brother joining forces, what place can't you go?"

Mingwei smiled: "Don't worry, the poor monk once traveled all over the world, and made his own feng shui map in the world, and these fifty miles of water ghost beach and the sword stone canyon can't stop me, and then there is the old brother's first boat management method in the world." These two places that are famous for boatmen in the world are nothing, and the difficult old brother doesn't want to conquer these two dangerous places?"

"Monk, what a bastard!"

Chang Sihai stared at Mingwei for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "I was caught by you." You wine and meat monk!"

"You agreed?" Mingwei was excited, as long as Chang Sihai nodded, he had eaten and drunk for most of the month, and he had to get a few jars of five gods to brew back before leaving. This is all negotiated with Zhou Yi.

"How much do you give?"

Chang Sihai looked at Zhou Yi and Liu Wu: "The fifty-three-meter Huashi Gang requires a ship with a displacement of at least 8,000 tons, and a few of my apprentices just have a 10,000-ton bulk carrier purchased from the Yangtze River Freight Company." The deck has been refitted, so it's no problem to put this stone. But it consumes a lot of fuel, and there are great risks on the road, so you have to insure all the crew, so if you calculate it, I'm afraid it will cost about a million to take this trip, is there a problem?"

"Brother Chang, the fair price should be 700,000 yuan, right? You are not a greedy person, how can you learn to open your mouth?" Although it is not to spend Mingwei's own money, it is related to his sense of achievement, so without waiting for Zhou Yi to speak, the great monk cut the price.

"Nonsense, the fair price does not include the risk of more than fifty miles of water ghost beach and sword stone canyon, there is no sonar detector on this boat, it all depends on the master to fight for his life, in case there is anything, I have to leave a few money for the girl, right?"

Chang Sihai blushed slightly, and sighed: "You also know that Xianggu has a problem with 'body fragrance', and it is very expensive to go to a big city for treatment, and it is not good to cover it once or twice." If I can't get rid of her disease, how can my old man go to see her parents under the Nine Springs?

"Zhouyi"

Liu Wu poked Zhou Yi lightly and pointed at the house. Although this girl's illness is not fatal, it can be rested on the girl, and it is also unbearable, thinking of Xiao Yezi's illness, Liu Wu was a little sad, and naturally hoped that Zhou Yi could cure this girl.

Zhou Yi patted her arm, nodded slightly, and signaled that he knew what he knew: "According to what Mr. Chang said, one million, after the stone is transported to Jianma Lake, I will have another thank you gift." I wonder if I can eat the famous Chongming hairy crab at your place, right?"

"Hehe, Mr. Xiao Zhou is a happy person. Since you came to me, there is nothing else, fish, shrimp and crabs can always be enough, Xianggu, Xianggu, wash the dozen or so hairy crabs at home, and grandpa will fry them to entertain guests in a while. ”

"Yes, we're here this time. Zhou Yi looked at the catkins and small leaves with a smile, handed the altar of five gods brew in his hand to the catkins, rubbed his hands and said, "Mr. Chang, do you have more male crabs or female crabs?

"You, rich man in fine clothes and fine food make crabs?

Chang Sihai smiled and shook his head repeatedly: "Let's let the boat family do it, don't spoil things." ”

"Just let him do it. Mingwei snatched the words and said: "Old brother, you don't know anything, although Master Zhou is young, his cooking skills are top-notch, if you let you get this hairy crab, it will be a waste." Don't be polite to him, he's our cook along the way, let him clean up, you and I just wait to eat. ”

"Really? Then my old man is going to open his eyes today. Aunt Xiang, when the crab is washed, bring it over and show it to your Uncle Zhou, so that he can choose. ”

Chang Sihai is an experienced person in the rivers and lakes, look at the beautiful granddaughter. glanced at Zhou Yi and Liu Wu, who were clearly not husband and wife, and casually sent the hat of an 'uncle' to Zhou Yi's head. He is taking precautions, this little white face is rich and bold, and he likes to be unclear with women, although his granddaughter has a personal fragrance problem, but who knows if he is good at this? Emperor Qianlong loved this back then. It's no wonder that Chang Sihai is nervous, his son and daughter-in-law are all gone in a water disaster, he points to such a granddaughter who depends on each other, if anything happens to his granddaughter, he can't live.

"Hmm. Uncle Zhou, you see, the crabs are all alive. ”

With a burst of 'fragrant' wind, Chang Xianggu walked in front of Zhou Yi with her head down, still with the big hat on her head. Zhou Yi raised his head, but he didn't see her face, this girl was too inferior.

"Good crab, worthy of being one of the three Chinese crabs, wonderful. Wonderful. ”

Pick up a Chongming hairy crab and shine it in the sun, the thin crab shell becomes transparent, and it is clear how much crab roe and cream fat there is. Check it with the food identification function, it is still authentic and wild, but it is not the pit daddy that is driven by hormones on the market.

Chinese people laugh at foreigners for not eating crabs, but they don't know that there are more than 300 kinds of freshwater crabs in the world. There are only more than 20 kinds of edible ones, and most of them are concentrated in Asia, especially in China. It's not that foreigners don't eat it, it's just that the first person on their side to eat crabs wasn't poisoned. It's just that the diarrhea is broken, and then I don't dare to eat it. It is still our Chinese people who have the blessing of eating, and the ancestors rushed up one after another to be the 'first person' to eat crabs, which opened up a new battlefield for future generations.

Among the Chinese mitten crabs, the most famous are the Shengfang crab from Baiyangdian, the Qingshui crab from Yangcheng Lake and the old hairy crab from Chongming.

Shengfang crab and Qingshui crab are characterized by a large, hard shell, green color, the fly in the ointment is that the meat is coarse and loose and the fat is not fragrant, so to eat these two kinds of crabs must wait until the autumn fat, eat actually crab roe.

And Chongming old hairy crab is blessed, it is a small shell thin, the flesh is fine and the fat paste is fragrant, do not have to wait for the autumn fat, the female crab will be full of yellow, the male crab fat is thick, this kind of crab to fry to eat. It is to have a particular attention when stir-frying, male crabs and female crabs should be matched reasonably, and it is very good to test the chef's kung fu, if it is fried, the crab paste will be oiled, and if it is not fried enough, the crab roe will have a fishy smell, and the chef who is not good enough even simply fry the male crab and the female crab separately, so as not to be unable to grasp the heat. But in this way, you don't have the delicious blend of male and female crabs, you know

"Good crab, good crab, this time it's a blessing. ”

Zhou Yi praised each other, put down the crab, touched Chang Xianggu's hand, and grabbed it and didn't let go, and pulled it in front of his eyes.

"What are you doing!"

Liu Wu and Chang Sihai roared in unison. Liu Wu was stunned, Chang Sihai grabbed the dry tobacco pouch and rushed over, Mingwei didn't catch it if he wanted to, and secretly complained in his heart, Xiao Zhou, what are you doing, look at crabs, what do you do when you touch the hands of other big girls?

"Hehe, the girl will have body odor, in fact, it is not that her health is bad, but that she is too good. ”

Zhou Yi smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Chang Sihai, who had rushed to him with angry eyes: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Miss Xiang is too shy, if I say I want to take the pulse, I'm afraid she will have to hide in the house again, so I can only make a surprise attack."

"Uh, take the pulse?"

Chang Sihai looked down, but he was not taking the pulse? He also took Xianggu to see the old Chinese medicine doctor, although this Mr. Zhou's method was a little strange, but he was really building the pulse. Chang Xianggu blushed, lowered her head and didn't look at Zhou Yi, but she didn't break free, and this 'Uncle Zhou' fingers came with a burst of cool air, which made her feel very comfortable, and she was reluctant to leave.

"Mr. Zhou, it turns out that you are a doctor?" Chang Sihai hid his hand behind his back and laughed dryly: "You just said that Xianggu's health is very good?"

"It's good, and it's very good. Zhou Yi nodded, and then withdrew his hand: "Mr. Chang, your granddaughter has never had a cold and fever since she was a child, and she can go into the water by pulling up her trouser legs in winter, and she will not be afraid of the cold, taking a hot bath in summer, ordinary people feel very hot with water at 378 degrees, but she wants to use hot water above 45 degrees, otherwise she will not be happy, right?"

"God, Mr. Zhou, how do you know?"

Chang Sihai was dumbfounded when he heard this, and even Chang Xianggu moved the big hat on her head and looked at this young 'uncle' fixedly.

"I haven't finished speaking, your granddaughter suffered from hair loss when she was a child, and almost became bald, but then this disease was cured, and she grew black and shiny hair."

"You see that?"

Chang Sihai really wants to look up to the sky and howl, is this a doctor or a fortune teller. It's obviously a stranger, but it's true, an absolute miracle doctor!

Chang Xianggu had a hat on her head, but she could also see her hair fluttering, as if it was dyed with ink, but who would have thought that this girl was once bald?

"Mr. Zhou, what kind of disease is Aunt Xiang, can it be treated?" Chang Sihai said busily.

"Didn't I say it, Aunt Xiang is not only not sick, but also healthier than the average person."

Zhou Yi smiled and said: "Doctors and Taoists both say that the human body has yang energy, but in fact, it is Yuanyang. The more vigorous a person's Yuanyang is, the better his body will be, such a person is not afraid of cold, rarely gets sick, and has a long lifespan, at least he can enjoy the age of ninety. But there is one point, because the yang energy is too strong, it is easy to sweat and fat, lose hair and produce fox odor, Xianggu lost her hair in her early years, which was caused by the impact of the vigorous Yuan Yang in the body. Later, the hair loss was cured, and the excess Yuan Yang in his body had to be rerouted, and it became a fox odor."

"Uncle Zhou, can my fox odor be cured?"

Chang Xianggu couldn't help but ask.

"Cure is curable. It's just a shame. ”

Zhou Yi shook his head and said: "You got this disease because your physique is too good, which is different from ordinary fox odor." If you treat it fundamentally, you have to use silver needles to suppress your Yangming, Shaoyang, and Sun Six Meridians. Although the fox smell disappears, it will make you become like ordinary people from now on, and you will also be cold and fever in winter. Wouldn't you regret turning back into a real weak woman?"

"If you become an ordinary person, you will become an ordinary person, the girl's family will always get married, if this disease is not cured, how can you get married? Mr. Zhou, you will help Xianggu to cure it, I thank you." ”

Without waiting for Aunt Chang Xiang to speak, Chang Sihai made a choice for her granddaughter.

"If I get an injection, Xianggu's body will probably become worse than ordinary people, and she will no longer be able to live in a wet and cold place.

Chang Sihai has lived more than water all his life, and letting him leave the water is equivalent to killing him, and Zhou Yi knows this truth without thinking about it. Now Zhou Yi wants Chang Xianggu to choose, in order to turn back into a fragrant beauty and leave his grandfather, or continue to live here and be a 'Xianggu'. It was cruel, but no one could help her choose.

"Uncle Zhou, I'm not curing anymore"

It's gone!

Not to mention Chang Sihai, even the catkins are extremely shocked, it is unimaginable to live with this kind of 'body fragrance' for a lifetime.

"Silly boy talking nonsense!"

Chang Sihai instantly understood his granddaughter's intentions, and he didn't feel the old tears: "Grandpa doesn't want you to care, you treat me honestly, find a good family to marry in the future, grandpa can close his eyes when he dies, otherwise you will be unfilial!"

"I don't marry, and I won't leave Bishuiwo, just here with my grandfather, who is in good health and can live to be 100 or 200 years old"

Chang Xianggu lifted off the hat, revealing a beautiful face that made the catkins dazzled and pitiful, and glared at Zhou Yi stubbornly: "If you help me cure it, I will hate you!"

"That's not good, Aunt Xiang is so beautiful, I don't want you to hate me, don't worry, I won't treat you. This is Aunt Xiang's own choice, and we will all respect you, Mr. Chang?"

Zhou Yi laughed, clapped his hands and picked up the crabs: "I'm going to clean up these crabs, everyone has to wait for my delicious meal happily, and no one is allowed to cry." ”

Chang Sihai's grandfather and grandson are both crying noses, and they are crying and crying, this one says grandpa, I don't treat the disease, I will accompany you, and the one who says granddaughter is good, grandpa is actually reluctant to let you go, I can see that Xiaoye also cried, and the eye circles of the catkins were also red.

Mingwei clasped his palms together, and just muttered in his mouth: "Amitabha, what is the suffering of the world, is the suffering of life and death, the suffering of illness, the suffering of separation, and the suffering of affection. Amitabha, but in this way, how is it different from earth, rocks, mountains and trees? I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out, Amitabha Buddha is so fragrant, so fragrant. ”

Chang Sihai and the two didn't cry anymore, they both stared at Zhou Yi who walked out of the kitchen, and there were four dishes on the wooden tray, boiled shrimp, garlic fried carp, stir-fried water celery and fried crab with green onion and ginger.

It's just that the plate of fried crab with green onion and ginger is covered with a large bowl, which can only be judged from the taste.

"It's so hot, the shrimp is just right, the carp knows that it is very tender when it looks at it, and there is this water celery"

Chang Sihai was most proud of saliva celery, and couldn't help but put a chopstick in his mouth, and praised again and again: "Fresh, tender, not only fully retains the fragrance of this water celery, but also completely cooked and thorough." Oh, and this shrimp is even more authentic than the old boatmen for decades. Mr. Zhou, are you a doctor or a cook?

This old man is really, has he done this, the host has not moved the chopsticks, he himself has eaten first.

The catkins swallowed their saliva when they saw it, but Xiao Yezi didn't care so much, grabbed two prawns in one hand, and happily put them into his mouth.

Seeing the food, Mingwei's Zen machine had already been broken, but he didn't go up to eat, but stared directly at the crab buckled under the sea bowl: "Master Zhou, why don't you open this bowl?"
