Chapter 441: The Chaotic Canal
Chapter 441: The Chaotic Canal
When Tang Xuan heard this, his hand couldn't help but shake there, and the tea bowl he was holding suddenly fell, and Jiang Feng, who was sitting there, flashed his body, and he was already holding the teacup, just some water splashed out. Tang Xuan calmed down a little, but listening to the two people in the room, talking and laughing about murder, she was really a little scared, and she felt that it was not her own world in a trance.
On the boat, there were no such big rules, Feng Yong over there stood up and took the tea bowl and teapot and put them in front of Jiang Feng.
Seeing that the girl's face was a little wrong, Jiang Feng asked casually:
"What, isn't life on the water uncomfortable?"
Of course, Tang Xuan didn't dare to say that he was a little frightened by what they said, but he quickly shook his head and replied softly:
"The bumps on the water are a little unaccustomed, maybe it's been on the ground for a long time."
The beauty behaves, Chu Chu is pitiful, naturally it is uncomfortable but it is also very good, Jiang Feng understands it very well in his heart, Yangzhou is a water town, and there are countless painting boats, how can a girl like Tang Xuan be unaccustomed to life on the boat.
However, Jiang Feng was too lazy to say it, girls still can't agree with themselves, this is also a matter of course, he didn't tell Tang Xuan about his situation, the other party doesn't know the bottom line, how can he be honest with you. At that moment, he just smiled and said:
"There's no shortage of your little girl's service here, go back to your room and rest."
Hearing this, Tang Xuan didn't care about any politeness and etiquette, hurriedly bowed and thanked him, turned around and returned to his room, the words that Jiang Feng and Feng Yong discussed with a smile made her shudder, she speculated whether Jiang Feng was a Jiang Yang thief who killed countless people.
With Jiang Feng, will he be implicated, maybe it is at the turn of spring and summer, the temperature changes greatly, Tang Xuan may have been affected by the wind cold, and felt a little dizzy, returned to the room, fried a hot soup and drank it, sweating a little, this is more comfortable.
Then I felt a wave of tiredness hit, anyway, Jiang Feng had already said that she didn't always have to be a servant on the boat, Tang Xuan simply lay on the bed to rest, covered with a thin quilt, and unconsciously, in the shaking of the ship, fell asleep.
The ships on the canal are different from those on land, as long as they hold a few places, they can use relatively little manpower to hold the boats, so Jiang Feng and the guards are not tired, after all, it is impossible to have a canal for thousands of miles, and there are countless bandits in each section, so wouldn't it be a chaotic situation in the world.
Jiang Feng was already refreshed at this time, and when he walked to the boat, the sun was good, and the clear air with moisture was blowing in his face, which made people very comfortable.
The two boats on the side are maintaining the same speed as this boat, sandwiching Jiang Feng's boat in the middle, which also means arch guards, more than a dozen soldiers are wiping their swords with river water there, Jiang Feng watched their movements with great interest, and the leader of the guard saw Jiang Feng's attention, stood up with a smile and said:
"Master, the smell of blood after our swords are stained with blood is really uncomfortable on the boat, so we simply clean it with river water."
After the sun rose, there were more boats on the river, and Jiang Feng was about to say a few words to his subordinates, when someone from the adjacent boat shouted loudly:
"This guest officer on the ship, let's anchor a few boats together at night, it's not very peaceful on the river now!"
Almost after Jiang Feng entered Weishan Lake, there were boatmen on the boat who loudly asked for companionship, after all, there were many people, even if there were bandits who wanted to do it, they had to weigh it. However, Jiang Feng politely refused here, because he was also in a hurry.
If it was a delay, it would be meaningless for Deng Min to be caught by others, seeing Jiang Feng's eyes, the boat bosses on the three ships replied with a polite smile:
"This brother, our ship has something important to go to the south, thank you for your kindness."
Since the words are said like this, there is naturally no need to continue, and the boat on the side does not say much, it just dodges the road, and the food on the boat is very distinctive, and the river fresh is even more outstanding. When the boat is sailing, there are people who can fish and fish directly in the water.
At this time, the canal is naturally different from the dirty ditch full of oily garbage in later generations, and the fish that are fished up are also considered pure natural and pollution-free food, although it is the turn of spring and summer, not the season when the fish is fat, but it is also a rare good material, Jiang Feng also felt a little itchy.
Pick it up by yourself, such a fresh fish, pay attention to highlight the original taste of the fish, if the thick oil and heavy sauce under the seasoning cooking, it is not beautiful.
There are so many people on the boat, it is obviously not enough to simply steam the fish or cook, so simply remove the fish bones and scales, and then change the fish meat into thin shreds, and put the fish shreds into shreds after cold water.
The kitchen utensils on the ship are obviously not too big, and the small fire urn is even more convenient, and people are instructed to keep an eye on the fire, as long as it is boiling, immediately draw out the firewood and grass, and add fuel to the water as soon as it is calm, always keep the soup between boiling and not boiling, and the soup will not decrease.
By the time the sun was in the west, it had been boiling for two or three hours, but no water was added, and the fish soup was only reduced a little.
It's just that the ginger that is about to become pureed is left, and the essence of the fish is completely melted, and then a little salt and pepper are sprinkled in, but this kind of soup is too little for hundreds of people, Jiang Feng also has a trick, the boat carries its own supplies and food, and the best silver silk noodles are cooked with other pots and stoves, everyone is given a bowl of noodles, pour a spoonful of fish soup on the noodles, drip a few drops of balsamic vinegar, and remove the only remaining fishy gas.
The delicious fish soup was poured over, and suddenly there was a bit of a stone-to-gold effect, and the noodles became extremely delicious, and the people of the three boats were all smiling and smiling, and almost swallowed their tongues.
When these people were in Huazhou, they had more or less heard the rumors that their adults had superb cooking skills, but at present, Jiang Feng's identity, there are still people there who have eaten his skills, and they are just heard as a strange anecdote, no one thought that there is this blessing to eat today, it is really worthy of the name, and the boat boss over there is also amazed, and said there:
"Our family has been boating for decades, and the fish in this river have been eaten for so many years, but it is the first time I have seen such a delicious practice, which is really amazing."
During the day, the ship was lively, and from time to time other ships came to greet whether they were anchored together at night, and they were all rejected one by one, but as soon as the sun set, the boats on the river suddenly became scarce, and only when passing by some river ports, could you see a large number of ships.
The river was suddenly deserted, and Jiang Feng's entourage was full of energy in their sleep during the day, and at this time they all sat in the cabin, chatting, or wiping their weapons. However, the entire river was extremely quiet, and so were Jiang Feng's boats.
Tang Xuan woke up in such a quiet, after sweating during the day, those uncomfortable feelings disappeared, but she had slept a lot during the day, and at this time she was lying on the bed, feeling the gentle shaking of the ship, and she couldn't sleep at all.
Tonight is quiet, the cold moonlight shines in through the window, it seems quiet and abnormal, there are no waves on the canal, only the sound of water when a boat breaks through the water, Tang Xuan wants to go out and see, everyone who has a certain cultural attainment is quite particular about the realm of feelings.
Of course, this so-called realm mood was generally called 'petty bourgeoisie' when Jiang Feng had not yet crossed.
Tang Xuan didn't know what time it was, but looking at the situation, it should be that the other people had already fallen asleep, the girl walked out of the cabin lightly, stood on the board, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and there were boatmen there to manipulate the bow and stern, so they naturally wouldn't disturb the guests.
The light of the bow lantern reflected Tang Xuan's face, which was already a stunning beauty, and in front of the moon light, it was even more beautiful.
At this time, suddenly Tang Xuan heard a sound on the water under his feet, and a hand suddenly stretched out from the side of the boat to buckle the side of the boat, and came out with a head, staring at Tang Xuan there, and laughing in a low voice:
"What a big beauty, you can sell it for a lot of money if you catch it back and play it a few times!"
This person is thin, but the fierce and beastly aura in his words is full, and Tang Xuan, who was frightened, couldn't even scream, and the person who came out of the water, with one arm, leaned out of the side of the boat, and grabbed Tang Xuan from behind.
Seeing that he was caught, a strong wind suddenly sounded on Tang Xuan's side, and a thick bamboo pole pierced out of the wing of the boat, and the man's cruel smile hung on his lips, and he was stabbed through and fell into the water with a thud. At this time, people jumped up from the other side of the ship, and the soldiers in the wing room were already prepared, and rushed out and began to kill condescendingly.
Tang Xuan screamed, many people in the water came out, one of them rushed to Tang Xuan, just about to make a move, the girl was already frightened, unable to move, suddenly felt that someone was pulling, Jiang Feng was already standing in front of her, the big knife in his hand slashed down, and the bandit immediately became two.
Blood splattered on Tang Xuan's face, and suddenly, the girl felt that she was not afraid, looking at Jiang Feng's back, she only felt extremely relieved and safe.
