Liuyun got acquainted with the girl, and when he learned of the embarrassing situation in the girl's family, he generously helped, and the girl's grandfather, that is, the old storyteller, thanked Liuyun and promised to go to the meeting together the day after tomorrow.

The lady also promised to follow Liuyun to see Zhejiang Chao tomorrow, and agreed to meet next to Yongjinmen.

Liuyun was happy, so he and Zhuang Ke returned to the lake under the willow tree, and the horses of Liuyun and his party were tied under the willow tree.

This Yue country is a country in the south, with many rivers and lakes, and the people of the country are good at driving boats and boats, and it is not a place to produce horses, so horses are rare. And Liuyun and his party have five horses, all of which are tied under the willow trees by the lake, which has already made pedestrians look sideways.

Liuyun and the banker returned to the willow tree, and saw that the three bankers were already waiting here, and a young man was standing next to him.

Liuyun looked at the young man, it was Bu Feng, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Brother Yu is really trustworthy, since this is the case, I will invite you to eat and drink today." ”

Bu Feng said: "The girl is good, it's not easy to refuse." Fortunately, Xiao Ke's business is good today, he has just finished selling fish, and he is here to stop by, thinking about the girl's words, if he doesn't come, he may be rude. So here comes the way. Let Xiao Ke invite the girl to eat and drink today, so as to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. ”

Liuyun said: "How can this work?" You fish every day, you have to subsidize your family, and you must not have much money, how can you invite us? ”

Bu Feng said: "I caught more than ten fresh fish today, and I just sold them for thousands of dollars." Although Xiao Ke is only a civilian, he can still invite the girl to drink once. ”

Liuyun chuckled: "There are five of us in total, and all four of them are good drinkers, and the money you have from fishing and selling today is probably only enough to buy wine." ”

When Bu Feng heard this, he couldn't help but feel that his face was slightly hot, and he was really shy in his pocket, and he wanted to be generous, but a penny was difficult for a hero, and Liuyun was also empathetic, seeing Bufeng's embarrassment, he said: "I am very happy to meet Brother Yu." I'm afraid that Brother Yu's heart won't go, so let's just invite each other, today we will pay for food, Brother Yu's money will pay for wine, how about it? ”

Bu Feng was very happy when he heard this, so he admitted: "The girl has decided like this, and Xiao Ke doesn't feel sorry to go." The hotel in Yuhang City, I know a few places, I don't know what the girl and the four eldest brothers want to eat? ”

The four Zhuang guests said: "All listen to the orders of the young lady." ”

Liuyun asked Bu Fengdao: "What are the delicious dishes in Yuhang City?" ”

Bu Feng said: "The small can be roasted for the fish of Jinniu Lake, which is very delicious." I wonder if the girl is cute and eats fish? ”

Liuyun smiled and said: "I like to eat fish burn, when I was in Gusu, I often ate fish burn, which is produced in Taihu Lake." Today, since you said that the fish in Jinniu Lake is delicious, I want to taste it and see who is superior and who is inferior to the fish in Taihu Lake. ”

Bufeng said: "Since the girl likes to eat fish grill, then go to a hotel next to Qingbo Gate, where the fish grill is fresh fish from Jinniu Lake that day, and the chef didn't say anything about cooking." ”

Liuyun agreed to go to the hotel next to Qingbo Gate to eat fish, and Qingbo Gate was not far from here, so the group led the horse and walked forward.

It turned out that Bufeng sold the fish, saw that here and along the way, according to the Liuyun agreement, came to the lake under the willow tree, saw that Liuyun has not yet returned, met a few villagers, Bufeng stepped forward to investigate, sure enough, it is Liuyun's servant. Bufeng waited for Liuyun here, and not long after, Liuyun and Zhuangke came back, so the group went to Qingbo Gate to eat fish.

Fish grill is a famous dish in the land of Wuyue, that is, the whole fish is grilled, accompanied by seasoning treatment, or made into soup dishes, etc., all of which are whole fish, collectively known as fish grill.

In the past, Wu Wangyi used to love to eat fish and burn, and Wu Wanglu was an assassin who wanted to assassinate Wang Gong, so he got such an assassin. Specializing in thorns, I went to Taihu Lake to learn to make fish burns, and after learning for several months, the fish burns are considered first-class level. So he invited the royal bureaucrats to the banquet, taste the fish roast, and secretly ordered the special Zhu to hide the fish intestine dagger in the fish belly, and kneel to offer the Wu royal bureaucrats, at that time, the Wu royal bureaucrats were tightly guarded, from the palace to the banquet place, all furnished armor. The armor soldiers on both sides guarded King Wu, and the cooks and fishers all knelt and walked forward, caught by the guards, and almost had no chance to start.

However, when Zhuan Zhu was offering the fish, he knelt in front of the king of Wu, removed the belly of the fish, took out the dagger, and assassinated the king with lightning speed, waiting for the guards to react, the king was already dead. Immediately, Zhuan Zhu was cut into pulp by the king's guards, and He Lu led his troops to rush out of the dark room, killed the guards of the Wu king's bureaucracy, and seized the throne of the king of Wu.

It is widely known that Wu Wangyi was assassinated for his love of fish roast, but Taihu Lake fish roast is famous for it.

Bufeng took Liuyun to the hotel next to Qingbo Gate, sure enough, it was a hotel specializing in fish roasting, and there were wine tanks and several large wooden barrels outside the hall, and inside the wooden barrels, there were live fish from several catties to dozens of catties. Liuyun was curious, and stepped forward to take a look. The shopkeeper said: "Most of the carp weighing a few catties are from Jinniu Lake, and most of them are caught in the Qiantang River if they are more than ten catties. Do the guests want to eat from the Jinniu Lake or the Qiantang River? ”

Liuyun asked Bufeng, which fish is good. Bu Feng said: "Each has its own characteristics, the lake fish has a strong taste, but it has a slightly earthy smell, and the river fish taste is not as rich as the lake fish, but it is a little more delicious." ”

Liuyun said: "You and I will eat this lake fish, and the four of them will eat river fish, how about it?" ”

Bu Feng said: "But according to the girl's will." ”

So Liuyun picked a red-tailed carp weighing three or four catties, and picked a herring in the river of more than ten catties for the four villagers.

The shopkeeper enthusiastically invited six people into the hall and set up two seats, Liuyun and Bufeng sat on a small seat, and four Zhuang guests sat on another middle seat.

Less pouring, the fish is cooked, brought to the table, Liuyun can drink, so he asked for a pot of good wine, and drank it with Bufeng. Four Zhuangke, also want a jar of more than ten catties of wine, today is rare Miss treat, the four Zhuangke is also a food-loving generation, when they see this more than ten catties of Qiantang River fish burning, they have already been salivating, but they don't see Liuyun speaking, dare not move chopsticks.

When Liuyun saw this, he smiled and said, "You guys should eat, just don't get drunk." He also ate it with Bufeng, and it tasted fragrant, and it was different from the Taihu Lake fish roast in Gusu, Liuyun tasted it, and said to Bufeng: "The fish roast in Jinniu Lake is also very delicious, compared to the fish roast in Gusu, they all have their own characteristics, and it is really difficult to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages." ”

Liuyun and Bufeng talked while eating, and Bufeng asked: "I visited Jinniu Lake today, will I go to Zhejiang tomorrow?" Now it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the tide rises on the Qiantang River, which is very spectacular. If the Liuyun girl is willing to go, Xiao Coco will be the guide. ”

Liuyun said: "I was going to go to the Qiantang River tomorrow to see the tide, and after seeing the tide, I will go to Huiji the day after tomorrow." ”

Bu Feng said: "That's very good, Xiao Ke also often fishes in the Qiantang River, a little understanding of water, tomorrow when you see the tide, there will be a tide, you must have never seen it." ”

Liuyun said: "What is a tide? ”

Bu Feng said: "The tide maker, is in the tide of the opportunity, driving a small sampan, holding the red flag to stand at the head of the tide, the tide is coming, the tide can make the red flag in the hand not wet, it can be described as thrilling." ”

Liuyun couldn't help but be curious: "In this way, I will definitely go and see it tomorrow." ”

Bu Feng smiled slightly: "Very good, the girl only needs to go to the east embankment of the Qiantang River tomorrow, according to which there are more than ten miles away." There is a tide viewing platform where many people gather to watch the water pour in. Once you're there, you'll be able to see the tide makers show their skills. ”

The two agreed to go to the tide viewing platform by the Qiantang River tomorrow to watch the tide. After eating the fish roast, the two also complied with the previous agreement, Liuyun asked the dealer to pay for the fish roast, and Bufeng paid for the wine.

The fish cooked by this shop is very delicious, and it can be regarded as a delicacy in Yuhangcheng. The four villagers ate to the fullest, and they were addicted. Liuyun also ate very fragrantly, satisfied, walked for most of the day, a little tired, at this time drunk and full, then rode back to the inn to rest, four Zhuang guests in the back guard. Bufeng also packed up the boat and went back to rest.

The next day, Liuyun got up and finished freshening up, went to the city for breakfast, first came to the Yongjin Gate, the lady was already waiting here, Liuyun let the lady ride a horse with herself, the lady had never ridden a horse, Liuyun held the girl and sat on the horse, tried the whip, and walked slowly. Look at the tide viewing platform on the east side of the Qiantang River. The four bankers have already been served, and the way to the past has been explored in advance. The group walked for most of the hour and arrived at the tide viewing platform.

The Qiantang River is a few miles away on the edge of Yuhang City, the river is wide here, about several miles wide, and then a hundred and ten miles downstream, there is the sea. Every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the sea water pours from the sea and pours into the Qiantang River for more than 100 miles, and even Yuhang City, forming a magnificent tidal landscape.

This tide also has a time, and when it comes every day, it is not bad, and it is also strange. The tide on the Qiantang River is present every day of the year, but it is the largest in the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, and it is very small on weekdays, and sometimes people are not aware of it.

At noon, the tide viewing platform was crowded. Liuyun came early, and he stood in the front and the best position with the lady, and the four Zhuang guests were also guarded around. While I was watching, I heard someone in the crowd say that the tide was coming.

Liuyun looked eastward, but saw that the river was still calm as usual, but there were already several young men holding red flags and wearing only calf pants by the riverside, driving sampans, waiting for the tide to come.

These teenagers are the trendsetters. The tide on the Qiantang River is overwhelming, not a child's play, even if the water is good, and is swept into the tide, most of them have no return, and their lives are handed over to the Qiantang River. Unless you are particularly familiar with the temperament of the tide, and the art is bold, you can control the sampan, leap over the rolling waves, after the tide recedes, and can retreat with your whole body, you can win the praise of the people, and the government will also give a reward, select and hire the water division troops, and appoint them to the post of military academy.

The tide makers are all young teenagers, and the artists are bold, and they are often more able to win the favor and love of this Yuhang woman.

Therefore, many teenagers of the Yuhang generation want to become trendsetters, but trend-making children are not what ordinary people can do. Therefore, every year, there are often teenagers who die in the tide, and it is even rarer to be able to really stand on the top of the waves, holding the red flag and not getting wet.

This is the tide on the Qiantang River.
