Chapter 196: A Child of the Sea

Joke? Wang Kegu didn't know what a joke was, but she couldn't scold, she heard that he wanted clothes, so she hurriedly stood up from the ground, and then walked to the cabinet to pick up a civilian coarse clothes for him and said: "Young master, the fishing village market in front is simple, there are no ready-made velvet clothes and expensive clothes, time is pressing, and the slaves who buy clothes don't dare to make a big splash, so you just give in first, and then change it when you go to the big city." ”

"The weather is so cold, the replacement is to find guilt, just dress warmly, and luxury is second." Ah Zhen is not a very particular person, he waved his hand and walked in front of the mirror and asked: "Have we arrived in Dengzhou now?" ”

Wang Kegu replied: "It was almost noon, and the Dengzhou wharf was full of official warships, and the minions had a special status, so they did not dare to approach rashly, and turned around on the fishermen's mudflats, only to land and dock at night. ”

Although Ah Zhen is the prime minister of Xia Zhou, but all the seals are not on his body, the world knows that others are in Jinliao, if he suddenly appears in Dengzhou and is not tied up by He Shidao immediately to fight, it is strange, Dengzhou is less than 500 miles away from the Yellow River, but there are more than 1,000 miles away from Jinling.

I looked at the crude person in the mirror for a long time, although it was a little tattered, at least he was wearing clothes, and he was not informal, and when he got home, what did he want? Touching his beard, he comforted himself for a while, and then picked up his face full of hair and asked obscenely: "Sister-in-law, do you think I want to pick out the miscellaneous hair?" ”

Wang Kegu saw him like this for the first time, but the man in the portrait given by the princess was very handsome, and the two of them were very different from each other in and out of the painting, and they didn't know how to answer, so they lowered their heads and said, "The young master can decide for himself." ”

"I didn't think Lao Tzu still had such a manly side." Ah Zhen seemed to be quite satisfied, and stroked his little white face and teased: "I used to look like that, and people looked like I was in the industry of eating soft rice, but now I look a little domineering." The words fell, and he smiled at the bearded man in the mirror: "Okay, it's rare to be so manly, you must let Ting'er take a look, so that she can love her heart." ”

"Yes...... Be. Wang Kegu was silent, suppressed the nausea in her body, and said, "Young master, the fish soup porridge must be hot to taste." ”

"Hello ......" his nose itched, and it was difficult to control another sneeze, Ah Zhen rubbed his nose and said, "I may be cold." ”

"The slave thought of it, the porridge contains grass juice to cure wind and cold, and it should be drunk while it is hot." Maybe cold? Don't say it's him, it's the first time to go to this kind of cold water, she has been infected with wind and cold for a few days, I thought he would have a fever, but I didn't expect the king to look weak, but his body bones are hard and tight, and being young is good.

In fact, if you don't treat a small thing like a cold, you can get better, at most you will suffer a little sin, this sister-in-law is very smart, she actually mixed the medicine into the porridge, it is expected that he will be hungry, and he has to eat, since he wants to take it, then he also has to take medicine, which can be regarded as a clever heart.

Ah Zhen was not afraid of drinking medicine, glanced at her, and took the big bowl of porridge in her hand, even the spoon was useless, and he drank it with a grunt, and suddenly felt that his spirit was all coming, and when he handed out the bowl, he thanked him very uncomfortably: "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”

"Huh?" Just took the bowl, Wang Kegu was slightly stunned, and when she saw the king looking at her sincerely, she turned around and walked out, and her heart couldn't help but warm, although their king often smiled and didn't look serious, but he was a good master.

Ah Zhen came out of the cabin and saw a large number of people sitting quietly on the deck, half of them were already dressed in fishermen's clothes, and when the group saw him, they quickly stood up, clasped their fists and bowed neatly: "Young master! ”

"Sit down, don't be too restrained." Ah Zhen smiled and pressed his hand, but Qunxiong didn't dare to sit down, he patted Cai Jingzhi on the shoulder with a smile and asked, "What time is it?" ”

Cai Jingzhi saw that he was fine, so he was relieved, and hurriedly replied: "It will be dark in another hour and a half, and the slave will be on the ground in the middle of the night, I don't know what the young master thinks?" ”

"Okay, you decide." The wind on the sea was very strong, and the hem of Ah Zhen's clothes was blown crackling, and after answering, he turned to look at the side of the boat, only to see the waves rolling one after another into the distance, gray and cloudy, and the water mist was vast and surging.

This situation made Ah Zhen feel overwhelmed, and unconsciously stepped towards the railing, holding the pole in his hand, inhaling the smell of the wet sea, looking at the connection between the water and the sky, as if he was muttering to himself and asking: "Do you know?" This is the road to the whole world, the road to a strong country that has endured for a long time, it will enrich the people, and it will help us build the land of abundance. ”

The group of heroes didn't understand these at all, they couldn't hear it clearly, and they didn't dare to answer casually, standing quietly behind him, looking at this huge back, and suddenly found that the king and the princess in front of him were also similar, and the two seemed to be the same person, which was really strange.

"Hehehe......" Mo Moheng was blown by the wet wind and dawned, and after a while, Ah Zhencai smiled shallowly, turned around and leaned against the railing, and said to the crowd: "Don't complain about the cruelty of Er, everything she does is for me, for the people and for the country." In my heart, you are all great, and I will give you more missions in the future. Stretching his finger forward, he pointed to the silent man, and roared: "Dali's wealth and prosperity will come from your hands, and I have only one word for you - don't die." ”

The heroes all clasped their fists and bowed forward, "The slave is incompetent, always listen to the young master's instructions." ”

"Okay, I don't like to say those high-sounding words, and you will be annoyed to listen to them." With a wave of his hand, Ah Zhen sat on the deck and beckoned: "Come, everyone sit down, let's have a good chat, and get to know each other." ”

Seeing the king sitting cross-legged on the ground, the heroes glanced at each other neatly, and then sat down slowly, listening respectfully.

Time is fast, day and night like white clouds and dogs, under the misty sky, the ship lights up the sea lantern, the season is winter, the sea breeze roars, and the waves beat fiercely.

Black sky Hao sea, floating and sunken ships take the night as a barrier, slowly drive into the inland sea, the waves are surging one after another, radically surging to the mud hills and sea fields before the night, as the saying goes, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the sea to eat the sea, fishermen will not only fish, but also grow fish.

Fish? How do you grow fish? Of course, fish can not be planted, what can be planted is a mussel with a shell that will not climb, there are many kinds of mussels, freshwater mussels are plantain-shaped, and sea mussels are bamboo-shaped, sea mussels meat is delicious and delicious, but it is one of the main sources of livelihood for the sea family.

Ah Zhen looked at it from afar under the dark and faint light, and saw a large area of sea fields, which were well managed, with shuttles and horns, and the thick mud like hills was stacked horizontally, swaying under the tide, a simple fisherman's scene.

"Stop......" Before the tide had fully risen, he shouted and hurriedly shouted to the ship that was about to rush into the mudfield.

"Stop the ship, stop the ship!" Hearing the king's order, Cai Jingzhi and Wang Kegu shouted in unison, the hull of the ship shook, the sails fell, the paddleboards stopped, and the ship stopped steadily on the sea level in an instant.

Cai Jingzhi and Wang Kegu don't understand what happened to the king? They glanced at each other and asked, "Young Master, the mud bank is right in front of you, why don't you go forward?" ”

"Look." Ah Zhen pointed his finger to the black sea field, and said a little on the left and right: "This sea field is planted with mussels, and it is well organized, and when the summer next year comes, the big and fat mussels will be ripe, our boat is too big, and the mud roads at both ends of the mussel field can only be used by fishing boats, so sailing into it will destroy a large area of mussel fields." ”

The two of them didn't understand this at all, and looked at the muddy ground along his fingers in confusion, and asked: "Young master, you said that there are things planted in the ground in front of you?" ”

"Of course." He glared at the two of them like a monster, and said, "You don't think those mud mounds and mud fields grow like this naturally, do you?" ”

"This ......" Cai Jingzhi was stunned, and he didn't know what to say? A large piece of damp mud will be swallowed up by the tide in half an hour, and it will be bare on top, and it doesn't look like something at all.

Looking at their confused and sluggish appearance, Ah Zhen knew that they were not the Hai family, and said, "Little samples, don't you understand?" Think fishermen just catch fish? ”

"Isn't it?" Wang Kegu naturally asked rhetorically.

"Of course not." Ah Zhen's eyes turned up and asked, "Let me ask you, what have you eaten and swam in the water?" ”

Swimming? The two frowned, looked at him suspiciously, and blurted out: "Fish, shrimp, crab, sea cucumber, conch, oyster, mussel?" ”

"Hahaha." After listening to them, he smiled and shook his head, "It's so boring to live, you guys." ”

When the words fell, he pointed to the mud mound bank of Haitian and said: "Don't look at it, it's just a mound shore, there is a delicacy in the world hidden in it - sea centipedes." ”

"Sea centipedes?" The two were stunned.

"Yes." Ah Zhen pursed his lips and said greedily: "The world's perception of centipedes is always closely related to poison, but in fact, the centipedes in the sea are longer than the centipedes on land, and the body is often soft, fishermen are inconvenient to go to the sea in cloudy days, they always come to the coast in groups to catch, and the tools for catching are also very simple, that is, a broken comb, find the centipede's cave, slowly, slowly dig out the small holes, see the body, then stab it with a comb, when the centipede is stuck in the comb, you can't be in a hurry, you have to take it out slowly, very gently, piece by piece." , otherwise you won't be able to catch the whole one. Speaking of this, he thought for a while and then said, "The longest sea centipede I have ever seen, it is three feet long." ”

Hearing the length of three zhang, the two exclaimed at the same time: "So long? ”

"yes." Ah Zhen swallowed the foam, and suddenly felt very hungry and said: "You don't know, after draining blood and spitting soil, add eggs and green onions, fry them in the pot, and then add two taels of white wine, that taste, tsk......t"

Cai Jingzhi and Wang Kegu looked at his gluttony, their old faces couldn't help but be sluggish, and they didn't know what to say. Eating centipedes, their king is really too different.

"Haha......" Thinking of some things in his hometown, Ah Zhen raised his finger in a good mood and said: "I'll tell you another interesting thing, there is a kind of thing called bamboo shoots in the mud beach soil, this guy looks no different from Xiao Ding, many fishermen catch this thing, and boil it into a cup and bowl shape, one by one is slippery and slippery, the taste is beautiful, the price is quite cheap, commonly known as bamboo shoot jelly." ”

Cai Jingzhi and Wang Kegu didn't say goodbye, they hadn't even heard of it, and they felt very unharmonious. "Little twitter? Bamboo shoot jelly? ”

"Yes." Thinking of the group of crazy mothers in his hometown in the 21st century, Ah Zhen couldn't help laughing, "This thing is delicious, nutritious, and very attractive to girls, so I can always see such a beautiful shadow on the street." As soon as the stalls of the sea people fell, the stall owners drank and bought bamboo shoot jelly! Then the girls rushed over frantically, because the bamboo shoot jelly was very slippery, and it was a small point that left after eating, a pair of small hands held the bowl, holding a spoon and rattling, bang bang and eat this thing on the street, because the bamboo shoots are exactly the same as the small ones, and the sea people commonly call it the sea chatter, so, hehehahahaha......

The two of them who listened carefully saw that the king was talking and suddenly laughing so heartily, and they couldn't help but be surprised, thinking about it. A group of girls, holding bowls in the street, stood in the market and ate small chirp, what was the scene like? Needless to say, it makes people sweat on their foreheads when they think about it.
