Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Book of Songs

The boat floated in the water, and the two people on the boat stepped on it a few times from time to time, and suddenly one of them would close his feet, and then the boat would turn sharply, and the people who would close their feet would laugh and tease each other.

"Let's go, we should go back." Seeing that the time was not early, Lin Mo was ready to return to the shore, but Sun Jing was reluctant to go back, and said angrily that he would stay on the ship for the night tonight.

In the end, Lin Mo took out a manly spirit and said, "Xiao Jing, let's go eat sour soup fish, shall we?" I promise it's delicious. ”

Sun Jing tilted her head and thought about it and said, "Okay, if it's not delicious, I'll eat you!" ”

After speaking, she waved her little hand to make a great man: "Turn around and move towards the shore!" ”

"Order! The little one will turn around, sit tight! Lin Mo pedaled the pedal quickly, and quickly turned the boat around, and then he looked at Sun Jing pitifully.

"Niangniang, please step on the jade feet, otherwise we will have to go around here!"

Sun Jing patted Lin Mo's shoulder and said, "Give me a massage when you go home, I'm tired of my feet today!" ”

At this time, there were only two small boats left on the river on the return trip, and when the other party took the initiative to compete, Sun Jing accepted the challenge without hesitation.

"Let's go!" With Lin Mo's shout, the two boats headed towards the shore almost at the same time.

"Hurry, hurry!" Sun Jing's face was flushed and she stepped on the pedal, vowing to win today's championship.

Lin Mo and Sun Jing had already taken the other party's half a boat position with tacit understanding, but the other party was not a vegetarian, so they quickly chased back, and they were only one meter away.

Lin Mo suddenly exerted force under his feet, and the boat was crooked and slanted to the shore first, making Sun Jing dance with joy, if it weren't for Lin Mo's quick eyes and quick hugging her, she would almost fall into the river.

"Hey! Or let them win, Guohua, you're really useless! "A plump woman about twenty years old stepped out of the boat, her nose was a little collapsed, which made people look a little eye-catching, but after combining with her curved eyebrows, there was some charming taste, and the corners of her mouth were often upturned with a hint of arrogance, coupled with a pair of dreamy yellow clothes and pants, the whole person looked domineering.

"Xiaoxia, didn't my feet be a little left behind?" A young man came ashore with a sad face, and when he saw Sun Jing, his eyes lit up, and then he turned his gaze to the woman named Xiaoxia.

"Xiaoxia, let's go eat sour soup fish, shall we? I inquired clearly when I came, and the sour soup fish here can be regarded as a must in Congjiang City. ”

Xiaoxia glanced at Lin Mo and the others, who were checking out, and said with the corners of her mouth upturned: "What is delicious in this kind of small country place!" Let's go to Congjiang Hotel. ”

"Let's go, let's eat sour soup fish, I promise you eat it once and think about it a second time." Lin Mo took Sun Jing's little hand and gestured to the two people's jaws, and then Sun Jing took him and trotted up.

"Hurry up, I'm hungry now, if it's not as delicious as you say, huh!"

The words from the wind made Xiaoxia's heart a little moved, but because of her denial just now, her face was a little cloudy.

"Xiaoxia, why don't we go and see it first? If it's delicious, let's have a meal, if it's not delicious, let's go to Congjiang Hotel, anyway, it's not bad for that little money, you say, right? Guohua seemed to know more about this Xiaoxia's character, so he gave her a step down the slope of the donkey.

Xiaoxia first raised her eyebrows and glanced at him, and then waited for more than ten seconds before reluctantly nodding in agreement, so the two followed behind and walked slowly to the ferry.

This time the ferry was very stable, Sun Jing actually had the leisure to look around and look at the scenery, and suddenly she took Lin Mo's hand and shouted: "Osprey!" Lin Mo, look, there's an osprey! ”

Under the sunset, there is a small fishing boat parked in front of the right side of the ferry, more than a dozen ospreys stand on several bamboo poles, and then they are driven into the river by fishermen, blue-black feathers sparkle in the sun, they swim on the surface of the river, dive into the water from time to time, and then float to the surface of the water after a while, and then swim to the side of the fishing boat with a bulging throat, the fisherman lifts it to the boat with a bamboo pole, and then skillfully squeezes it under the throat, a crucian carp spits out of the mouth of the osprey, and the fisherman rewards the osprey with a small fish. Throw it back into the water again.

"It's just a few water crows, what's the fuss about? Laugh at! I haven't seen the world. ”

Lin Mo frowned and looked back, it turned out to be Xiaoxia who liked to look at people with slanted eyes, looking at Sun Jing who was puffing up beside him, he smiled slightly.

"The osprey, also known as the cormorant, is an expert fisherman, and can work for the fisherman for more than ten years, which is not comparable to any crow."

"The water crow is the water crow, can it catch fish and catch poetry? I don't know how to pretend to understand! "This Xiaoxia is not a person who will admit defeat easily, but unfortunately the Guohua next to her is really limited in her belly, so she can't help her, so she can only hand her a bottle of drink, thinking that her combat effectiveness will be stronger after moistening her throat.

"Oh!" Lin Mo didn't look back and said: "This can be had, our osprey brother has an amazing relative, Xiao Jing, you learned the Book of Poetry when you were studying, right?" ”

"I've learned!" Sun Jing replied cooperatively, smiling and watching him play treasure.

"Then Guan Ju, you will definitely carry it!" Lin Mo winked at Sun Jing and signaled that the woman behind her was very annoying, waiting to see me clean her up.

"What is the one who closes up and dwells in peace? Be all abroad! Xiaoxia pursed her mouth and said disdainfully.

"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, fair lady, gentleman. This dove is a close relative of our osprey, so he's famous, right? Lin Mo stopped talking after listening to it, knowing that this woman who didn't even know about the dove must be a little timid.

"The dove is also a bird that makes a living from fishing, but its skills are far worse than our ospreys, and it is not an opponent in terms of efficiency or quantity, so ah! This dove's ability to talk about love is much better than its ability to catch fish. ”

Lin Mo's words made Xiaoxia in the back almost full of anger, and actually insinuated that I have the greatest ability to fall in love, and just as she was about to ridicule each other, a middle-aged man in front spoke.

"Hmmm! The young man knows a lot! Not many of today's younger generations know the Book of Poetry! The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed at the current style of study, which was quite worried about the country and the people.

"Have you really memorized the Book of Songs? But I don't think you usually study much! Sun Jing knew Lin Mo's learning style of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, so it was difficult to understand how Lin Mo could know these things.

"You didn't see me when I was studying hard at night! I'm a night owl, and I'm the most efficient at night. Coaxing Sun Jing in his mouth, Lin Mo thought in his heart, could I tell you about my experience of pouring water in some forums in my previous life?

The ferry docked, Lin Mo and Sun Jing walked hand in hand to the shore, and then walked towards the village not far in front.

"They're coming up, too, so annoying!" Sun Jing turned around and saw that the two were also behind, so he whispered to Lin Mo.

"This is not our private place, we don't care where others want to go, anyway, we will go back after dinner, is it possible that they can still follow them to the house?" Lin Mo pinched Sun Jing's nose and pulled her to speed up.

"It smells so good!" Sun Jing sniffed the fragrance in the air with her best efforts, and stared at the signboards in front of her with bright eyes - Wangjiaba Authentic Sour Soup Fish.

The villagers of Wangjiaba are blessed to guard this ferry and tourist resort, but they do not dare to come out to shout and do business during the special period, until a few years ago, after the country began to let go of the reins of the private economy, they have a flexible mind to take the lead in using local specialties: fish and bad chili peppers to start the business of sour soup fish, and for a time there were many customers, so there were many followers immediately, some of them made sour soup fish, and some went to the shore to sell some fried fish and crabs, although they did not say that they were rich and expensive, but they could also earn some money to subsidize their families in the slack season. In later generations, it was directly turned into a farmhouse, and leisure and tourism were not wrong.

These sour soup fish are actually in their own houses, Lin Mo picked a long time to find a cleaner one to enter, and after entering, he found that the layout of the room inside was no different from that of ordinary people, but the proprietress was very bold, and she took Lin Mo to the back to see the fish.

There were hundreds of fish swimming in a large cement pool, and the proprietress pointed to the pool and said, "Look, it's all alive, and my family won't fool the guests with dead fish." ”

Lin Mo nodded in approval, and then he used a net to catch about a pound of fish and handed it to the proprietress .

"You go and sit down, and you'll be fine right away, but I don't have to say anything about my family's craftsmanship!" The proprietress weighed the weight with a scale first, and after showing Lin Mo the scale and the warped scale rod, she smiled and loaded the fish in a big bowl and went to the stove in front.

Small restaurants in Congjiang City or Southwest Province like to build stoves on the side of the gate to show customers their chef's skills and the prosperity of their business, and of course, let customers supervise the production process, otherwise I want a pound of fish, but in the end there are only eight taels on the table, so who to find?

Lin Mo watched the proprietress quickly slaughter the fish, and then cleaned it and put it on the stove, a black-faced man with a cigarette glanced at Lin Mo through the smoke, the corners of his mouth shook, and the long soot was shaken to the ground, and then he quickly poured the stir-fry oil mixed with vegetable oil and lard into the pot, and waited for a bowl of bad chili peppers to be poured into the pot after the green smoke rose.

"Huh!" The spatula stirred the rotten peppers in the pot, and the smell filled the kitchen.

When the heat is almost ready, the chef pours in a bowl of sauerkraut soup from a jar of sauerkraut and finally pours in well water.

"Your chili peppers are so well soaked! It feels authentic when you smell it. Lin Mo praised the proprietress for the authenticity of her family's ingredients.

"That's not it, my sour soup fish is good at this home-made bad chili, you have to choose chili peppers and ginger, and pour them in with good wine, which is not the capital that ordinary people are willing to pay." The proprietress said her unique secrets with her eyebrows, and she was not afraid of being learned by Lin Mo.
