Chapter 850 Big Fish

It's a huge treasure, with a pleasant climate, and the seafood and rice are simply a gift from nature.

During the dry season, the bottom of the lake is piled up with a large amount of fertile silt brought by the Jiulong River every year, and it has become fertile land for the local people to sow seeds.

When the rainy season arrives, weeds, which harbor countless insects and microorganisms, are flooded and become natural feed for fish.

It's the dry season, and farmers are planting rice by the lake.

The people here live on stilts that resemble "houseboats", and it is said that when the water rises, they can pull up wooden stakes and move with the water.

Large tracts of lush aquatic plants also nourish many waterfowl, migratory birds, domestic animals, and wild animals.

The vast blue water, reflecting the blue sky and snow-white clouds, is refreshing.

Locals also eat salted fish, but salted fish is expensive, and more poor people wrap the fish in rice and press it into wooden barrels to store it, making it a sour food with a special taste.

The taste of Su oil and the Song people said that it was completely unacceptable.

Fortunately, Su oil brought many gifts to the regent during this trip, including marinade powder and spice powder.

The marinade powder is thirteen spices, and the spice powder is a kind of sauce made from turmeric and pepper, which are abundant in Cochin, and many spices on the Indochina Peninsula, such as cloves, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, and cinnamon.

At the beginning, this was just a makeshift thing made by Su You in order to make sure the Jiaozhi migrant workers on the construction site were well fed and less sick, because these spices themselves are medicinal materials, Shi Wei said that it has the effect of appetizing, strengthening the spleen, inhibiting bacteria and strengthening the liver, plus it is too late to engage in hydrochloric acid soy sauce for two or three months, so I will use this thing to deal with it first.

Boil the sauce in a big pot, throw some radishes, greens, yams, taro and beef and sheep offal and the like, and then a big spoonful of rice and a spoonful of pickles, which is quick and convenient, even if it is the meal of the captive migrant workers, it is similar to the copy of the stilted beef on the Meishan wharf back then, which is fast food.

As a result, I didn't expect that this thing was so well received that the migrant workers didn't change the stewed beef!

This spice powder soon made Su Hui see the business opportunity, and immediately began to make it in large quantities, because Uncle Xiao said that in order to manage Jiaozhi well, it is necessary to pay wages from the business to let them obediently return the money to the business, forming a perfect cycle.

From head to toe, from life to death.

Su Hui wasted a lot of brains, and never imagined that this step would start with something that was affectionately called a "curry" by the locals.

"Curry" means "sauce" in the local dialect.

This time, in order to thank the ten elephants for their support, Su You specially brought many gifts to Fan Shengkai, including silk, yellow and white brassware, porcelain, fine wine, stainless steel riding knife, curry powder, five-spice powder, soap, essential oils, medicines and other gifts.

There's also something that's very popular – yeast.

Fan Shengkai was very happy, especially after knowing that Su Younai was the second official of the Great Song Empire after the prime minister, and Li Shunju was the closest attendant of His Majesty the Great Song Emperor, he felt even more honored.

Zhenla paid tribute to the Song Dynasty, the receptionist was just a protocol envoy, and the position of Su You at the court meeting was far away, and he couldn't even see what he looked like.

Now I am flattered to be so close to him, smiling and reciprocating with courtesy.

So when Su You said that he wanted to fish, Fan Shengkai directly postponed his return to the capital for a day, hehehe, Shaobao said fishing, then let's fish.

For this fishing, Su You uses a fist-sized hook, steamed with fermented rice milk as bait, and kneaded into a large steamed bun made of fruit and vegetable puree.

I can see that Fan Shengkai drooled, how good this thing is for me to eat, Lord Shaobao actually used it as bait!

The fishing rod is a bamboo rod with a thick arm, and the bottom is a large copper wheel, which is a steel core, and the line at the top is at least 400 meters.

Donsari Lake is a dry season, and the big boats in the lake have to go through a specific waterway, so there are not many deep water areas, and big fish are concentrated there.

Li Shunju also lowered the rod with great interest, but he fished more delicately, and while smiling and throwing away the small fish he caught, he said to Su You: "It reminds me of the time when Mingrun and the official family fished on Jinming Pond, and the hidden dragon and milk tiger were also a stormy meeting." ”

Su Youzai instructed the Zhenla people to row a small boat and lead their hooks to dozens of meters away to lay bait, and then instructed them to pour down two buckets of bait, and then inserted the rod into the hole in the stern of the boat, and said with a smile: "The official family is not a fisherman, don't underestimate this rod, this is the top craft product of my Great Song Dynasty." ”

This is really not blowing, in addition to the paint water, porcelain ring, the fishing wheel in Su You's hand is no less than the precision machinery of the clock, the hand cranks, the reel will turn five times, and there is an exquisite pawl structure and pressure brake structure.

The gears are made of blue steel wheels, which is the latest metal anti-rust process of the case.

Su You didn't understand this thing, he just said a mouthful of the concept of metal rust prevention, and the liquid medicine was finally completed by the craftsmen of the case after years of exploration.

Sodium nitrate, sodium hydroxide, sodium nitrite are stirred and dissolved in a certain proportion, heated after mixing, put in metal parts and boiled for a period of time, take out and rinse with hot soapy water for a few minutes, and then rinse with cold water, rinse with hot water, and dry, you can complete the anti-rust process.

In order to confuse foreign countries, this process is called "roasted blue".

The surface of the treated steel parts will form a layer of black or black-blue ferric oxide oxide-based oxide film, with a dense structure and strong corrosion resistance.

The lubricating oil in the parts is the inorganic lubricating oil extracted from Shangzhou Petroleum.

This treatment method solves the problem of rust prevention of various parts on the sea ship in a timely manner.

Including the fish hook, it is also baked blue, but it is usually soaked in purified whale oil.

So Su You is really not a blind blow, his fishing tackle is really the culmination of the top technology of the Great Song Dynasty.

In fact, in later generations, the fishing rod process also reflects a lot of high-end technology, such as the ultra-high-density carbon cloth used in Japan's top fishing rods back then, and people are forbidden to export to flower growers, the reason is that it can also be used to build fighter jets.

The attendant of the boat carefully measured the depth of the water, then smeared the cotton knot on the fishing line to the right height, and attached a buoy made by Seluro to the line.

Su You sighed at Li Shunju: "After decades of being a fish boy, we can be regarded as a person with fish boy to serve today......

Li Shunju couldn't help but feel funny: "Mingrun, your article is righteous, your military achievements and political achievements, no matter how good Tao Zhu's ability is, Lu Ban's skills, what can't you boast of?" As for using fishing to talk about things? ”

Su You glanced at Shi Wei, who was teasing the small fish on the surface with bait in the water: "If I told the capital supervisor that my determination started from a fishing time when I was a child, I didn't even have a fishing hook at that time, and I used bamboo wire as a hook, maybe the capital supervisor wouldn't believe it." ”

Shi Wei still looked at the water, but a shallow smile curled up at the corner of her mouth.

Li Shunju didn't understand what Su You meant, and only saw the float move a few times: "Mingrun, you float seems to have moved......

Su You also looked infatuated: "Where is there such a fast ......?"

"Ouch, it's really moving!" Li Shunju shouted.

Su You hurriedly turned around, only to see the long drifting tail sinking diagonally into the water like an arrow.

"Oh, really!" Su You hurriedly shook the wheel a few times, and then suddenly waved the rod back: "Medium!" ”

"Woo-" The fishing line was suddenly tightened by the big fish under the water, cutting from near to far, and the fishing wheel "da-da" sounded the pleasant sound of metal pawls bouncing on the gears.

"Hahahaha......" Su You jumped on the boat on the side, turned back to Shi Wei and shouted: "Wei'er, there is a big fish in the pot today!" ”

Shi Wei smiled: "Don't be happy too early, if you run away, it's not a big fish, it's a big joke." ”

After getting Shi Wei's reminder, Su You became more careful, just slow down the harvest and ensure that he didn't run, and now he had to toss slowly.

Many fishing boats, and residents on the shore boats, have been watching.

The water quality of the large lake is unusually clear, and gradually, the shadows of large fish appear under the water, longer than small canoes.

The king's boat, the fishing boat, and the lakeshore all let out exclamations.

The big fish was frightened and fell to the bottom again.

Su You hurriedly gestured and greeted, and let the surrounding boats slap the water with bamboo poles and oars, so that the big fish could swim again.

After tossing and turning like this for two hours, in the end, Su You's fishing gear and fishing skills withstood the test, and the big fish finally ran out of strength and lay on the water.

The sergeants on the king's boat threw down the thick rope, Su You caught it, and hooked the iron hook that was used as a climbing side into the gills of the fish, and the sergeants let out a shout and dragged the big fish to the big boat.

This is a huge black Siamese carp, more than a zhang long and weighing more than 500 catties!

Fan Shengkai was dumbfounded, Fan Shizhe bowed to Su You and sighed: "Shao Baozhen is a god and a man!" ”
