Chapter Ninety-Six: Salt is Precious.
The four of them left the boat and walked onto the island, while the fisherman stayed in the boat and took out a rope and began fishing.
Luo Hui led the three of them to the location where he had attacked the water village, and the gate had been blown to pieces by explosives, and there were pieces of wood everywhere.
There are still many traces of blood on the ground that have not completely disappeared, and they are not visible unless you look closely.
The house where the bandits lived was still there, but it was dusty because no one had cleaned it.
Princess Changping believed Luo Hui's words a little, but there were people living here, and there were battles.
After a tour of the island, the four of them returned to the shore.
The old fisherman's barrel had an extra fish bouncing around.
When he saw the four men coming, he collected his fishing rods. Use the planks on the boat to pick up four people on board.
The princess saw at a glance the lively fish, which weighed about a pound.
"Luo Hui, look, what a cute fish!"
"It's cute, this fish looks pretty good!"
Princess Changping puffed up angrily: "You guy, deliberately angry with me!" ”
As soon as Zhou Yaowu heard what they said to eat, his stomach rumbled, which embarrassed several people.
"Have you eaten, haven't eaten for a day!"
Yin Shuang took out some cakes from the bag and handed them to Zhou Yaowu and Luo Hui, and Zhou Yaowu immediately devoured them.
The princess and Yin Shuang looked at each other and smiled, Luo Hui's cake was specially added.
"Hmph, I'll kill you later!"
Luo Hui looked at Zhou Yaowu's hungry appearance, so he gave Zhou Yaowu his cake as well.
Zhou Yaowu ignored it, and devoured the cake in his hand.
After eating, I realized that something was wrong.
"No, why is this cake so salty, is there too much salt!"
Zhou Yaowu was very uncomfortable at this time, and he felt that his mouth was about to explode.
Take out a water bag and drink it all in one gulp!
"Is there water? There is no water! ”
"Isn't there water in the lake," the fisherman reminded him, handing him a scoop.
Zhou Yaowu took the water scoop, scooped a scoop of water, and drank it with a grunt.
Although Luo Hui was a little strange, he didn't pay attention to it, maybe the store put too much salt!
The princess and Yin Shuang glanced at each other, a little weak-hearted. They originally wanted to teach Luo Hui a lesson, but they didn't expect to trap Zhou Yaowu, and they felt a little unhappy.
The fisherman grabbed the fish: "Young masters, young ladies, it's not interesting to just eat cakes, do you want to eat fish!" ”
"Yes!" Luo Hui nodded.
The princess shook her head: "Luo Hui, this fish is so cute, how can you bear to eat it!" ”
Luo Hui smiled: "Last time I saw you eating fish and meat, it was also very fragrant, let me tell you a secret, the cuter it looks, the better it tastes!" ”
"You lie to me, I don't believe it," said the princess, but her eyes took away from the fish.
The fisherman quickly saw that the fish was cleaned and lit a fire. Put some oil in a small frying pan and put the fish in.
The small tongue of fire under the stove licked the bottom of the pot, and the hot oil rattled. Soon the fish was fried to a fragrant aroma, and the fisherman turned the fish over with a wooden spoon to reveal its golden color.
The small frying pan continued to fry the fish, and the aroma was even stronger.
Princess Changping was completely attracted and peeked at it from time to time.
"Okay, no?"
The fisherman looked at the princess and smiled: "Soon, soon!" ”
When the fish is almost fried, the fisherman adds some ginger and garlic.
At this time, the princess could not bear it at all, and she had already secretly eaten a little bread just now. But the smell of this fish is so tempting!
"That's it!"
The fisherman removed the frying pan from the small stove and placed it in front of the princess.
Princess Changping was naturally not polite, and picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in her mouth.
The expression of joy on his face disappeared immediately: "The taste is okay, but it's too light, it doesn't seem to have any salt!" ”
Luo Hui's expression moved, and he also took a bite, the meat was indeed soft and tender, but the taste was too light, and there was indeed no salt!
The fisherman nodded: "Young master, miss, don't you know, now salt is expensive, ordinary people's silver is used to buy rice, and the salt family only eats a pound for half a year, so they usually don't put salt!" ”
Listening to the fisherman's words, Luo Hui felt very sad.
Suddenly one thing came to mind, he looked at the princess and Yin Shuang.
Both of them lowered their heads, and they used the salt that ordinary people regarded as treasures to play pranks, and at this time there was some guilt in their hearts, and they were very guilty of their actions.
Looking at their appearance, Luo Hui understood a little. But the little girl's pranks, he won't care about them.
Luo Hui looked at them with a smile: "Take out the salt!" ”
The two girls were poked in the heart and hurriedly shook their heads in denial: "No, we don't have salt!" ”
Luo Hui smiled: "Do you want to eat this kind of bland fish?" ”
Princess Changping was stunned and stabbed Yin Shuang with her hand.
"The salt water is all here!" Yin Shuang took out a bamboo tube with some grievances, lowered her head and hummed.
It feels like being caught red-handed for a prank!
Luo Hui took the bamboo tube and sprinkled the salt water inside on the fish.
"You guys try it again and see how it tastes?"
The two girls secretly looked at Luo Hui, and when they saw that he was not angry, they put their minds at ease.
Princess Changping sandwiched the fish meat, put it in her mouth, and left with a smile.
"It's so fragrant, it's different with salt!"
The fisherman looked at the four of them and was a little puzzled: "You have arrived at some water, where did the salt come from!" ”
Luo Hui handed the bamboo tube to the fisherman: "The water here dissolves the salt!"
The fisherman carefully dripped a drop of salt water, put it on his index finger, and put it in his hand to suck.
Immediately, his expression changed greatly, and his face was moved.
"It's really salt!"
Luo Hui looked at the fisherman's appearance, and his gaze at the bamboo tube was softer than silver.
"I'll give you these salt waters!"
The fisherman was so happy that he almost jumped up, and he knelt down for Luo Hui: "Thank you, thank you, son!" ”
Luo Hui felt that even if he gave him silver, he might not be so happy.
His heart touched greatly, and salt, in his world is ordinary things that cannot be in the ordinary. But in the eyes of the old man, that is the treasure, the treasure second only to the grain.
Daming still doesn't know how many such people there are, and they can't even afford to eat salt. Not to mention those who don't even have food to eat.
With food, you can live without being strong. With salt, life will taste a little!
At this time, salt is as precious as water living in the desert for many poor people in the Ming Dynasty!
Salt is also a very important thing!
The old fisherman reminded him to elevate salt and grain to an equal footing.
Only when the people have these two things, can the Ming Dynasty be truly saved!
Princess Changping naturally wouldn't think as much as Luo Hui, she and Yin Shuang were eating fish, and they were eating happily, that was called a fragrant!
