Chapter 390: Breaking the Whaling Record

An Dalang helped Xia Rongniang to go inside, and Fu Hongyu came over to greet the old lady.

Old Madam Cui beckoned with a smile on her face: "Hongyu, come and sit here." The old body hasn't seen you for a long time, is the school very busy? ”

Fu Hongyu saluted the brothers in turn, and everyone hurriedly returned the salute. Then Fu Hongyu sat on the chair beside the old lady and replied softly: "Back to the old lady, there are more and more children in the school, and now there are not enough teachers." Master Taichen has brought in hundreds of orphans, and we have a hard time settling these children. ”

Du Dalei interjected: "I complain about Na Zhe, I actually put down the affairs of the school and went to the Ministry of Commerce to get away." I'm tired enough to choke my little red jade. ”

Na Zhe hurriedly shouted out for grievances: "Wronged! The boss sent me to the Ministry of Commerce, but I was reluctant! Lao Du, why do you blame me? ”

"Don't blame you, who do you blame? I can't blame the boss. Anyway, you're better at bullying. ”

Everyone laughed, and Mrs. Cui shook her head: "This Du Dalei doesn't look serious all day long." It's a habit of making trouble! ”

Fu Hongyu glanced at the triumphant Du Dalei, and Du Dalei was immediately honest.

Fu Hongyu smiled and said to Zhao Zizhong: "Brother, there are too few teachers in the academy now, can you think of a way to solve this matter?" ”

Zhao Zizhong waved his hand: "It's easy to solve, let Cao Yongxian take the scholars in the academy to the academy to help." Anyway, they're all pretty idle right now. ”

Wei Hongye asked, "Lao Zhao, can these hairy boys do it?" Will they cause some trouble? ”

Zhao Zizhong replied: "It's okay, these scholars should also exercise." Let's let them go and be the child king for a while. I don't think there will be any problems. ”

Jiang Wuniang also said: "I will mobilize some women who are not busy with things to go to the school and take care of these children." By the way, keep an eye on these scholars, so as not to get anything. ”

Fu Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay now, there is finally someone to do." Rest assured, brothers, we will take care of the children. ”

Old Madam Cui nodded: "Of course we are relieved, Hongyu is the most assertive and capable woman among these women." You say, don't you? ”

The brothers all agreed, and Du Dalei said happily: "Haha, of course. My little red jade is definitely a talent! ”

Everyone chatted for a while, and it was close to noon. At this moment, there was a commotion outside.

Cui Ying'er hurriedly ran out to check, and Mrs. Cui shook her head helplessly: "This child is going to get married soon, and he still looks like he is in a hurry, which is really worry-free." ”

Soon, Cui Ying'er returned. followed by the dusty Liang officials.

"Haha, congratulations to Mrs. Cui, congratulations to Mrs. Cui. Your Cui family finally has a queen! Today I brought back a big fish, some people say that it is a shark in the sea, more than two feet long. It's enough for us to eat. ”

"Really?" Du Dalei asked.

"Why am I lying to you, boy? I went out to sea with the whaling fleet the other day, and when I came back yesterday, a couple of sailors threw a trawl into the sea, and I caught such a big thing. It's not as big as a whale, but it's not small. According to experienced sailors, this big fish is the legendary Jiao Shark. ”

Du Dalei shook his head and said, "Liang Daguan, shark meat is hard and not delicious." I think it's better to forget it, it's nothing to eat. ”

"So, Xiao Du, have you eaten a shark before?"

"I've eaten it, the meat is too hard, it's not delicious at all."

Liang Daguan was very disappointed: "I still want to bring you some fresh ingredients, it seems that the old man has miscalculated." ”

Na Zhe said with a smile: "Liang Daguan, although the meat of sharks is not delicious, shark fin is still a good thing. We have a blessed mouth today. ”

"Shark fin?" Liang Daguan asked, "What is that?" ”

Na Zhe replied: "It's the shark's fin, if that thing is done, it's still good to eat." ”

Liang Daguan was skeptical: "Can you eat fish fins?" I haven't heard of it, huh? ”

Du Dalei said with certainty: "Liang Daguan, shark fin is a very expensive food, you are rare and strange, right?" ”

Liang Daguan was a little unconvinced: "How strange am I rare? Is it good for Lao Tzu to be well-informed? I've been doing business abroad for many years, and I've never seen any scenes. What kind of shark fin are you talking about, I just haven't heard of it. Are you kid stupid? ”

When the brothers saw that Liang Daguan was blushing and his neck was thick, they all spoke out to comfort him.

It turns out that no one eats shark fin in this era, and the earliest record of eating shark fin in China should be during the Southern Song Dynasty.

Mrs. Cui persuaded: "Mr. Liang, don't be like these children. Today is a day of great joy, so let's take it easy. Ask them to have two more drinks with you. ”

Under the persuasion of everyone, Liang Daguan was in a better mood.

Zhao Zi thought about it again and said, "Xiao Du, you go and invite Master Taiqin, as well as Shu Ya, Cao Yongxian, and Gao Yanei." Today we get together. ”

Du Dalei agreed and dragged the reluctant Na Zhe away.

Mrs. Cui asked the maid to go to the kitchen to spread the word, and asked the chef of the Cui family to show the best skills to entertain everyone.

Liang Daguan was in a better mood, and began to boast: "You boys don't know, I went to sea this time and caught four big whales!" What do you think? Lao Tzu is very powerful, right? ”

"Four whales?" An Dalang exclaimed, "Liang Daguan, is it true?" ”

"What am I lying to you for, won't you find out when you go to the beach later?"

Boris said: "Liang Daguan, if it is really four whales, you have broken the record of a single whaling this time." ”

"Broken, broken what?" Liang Daguan asked puzzled.

"It's a record-breaking."

"What does that mean?"

The brothers glanced at each other, it turned out that they were using the words of later generations again, no wonder Liang Daguan didn't understand.

Wei Hongye explained: "Liang Daguan, when we went out to hunt whales in the past, we caught two whales at most at a time. This time you caught four whales, which is a previous record. Because of the previous whaling record, the maximum is to get two whales. That's what it means to break records. ”

"Oh, I see. The old man understood. Liang Daguan suddenly realized.

Zhao Zizhong asked: "Boris, who took the whaling fleet out this time?" How many boats are there? ”

"Boss, this time I arranged for Wang Dafu to be the chief officer, and I went to sea with four warships and three hundred and fifty rookies."

Zhao Zizhong said happily: "I didn't expect it, Wang Dafu, this kid is really a lucky general." Go out on four warships, and get back four whales. Looks like it's time to reward him. ”

An Dalang nodded: "Brother, this kid just wants to find a mother-in-law with a big ass, let's find one for him and fulfill his wishes." ”

Everyone laughed, and Liang Daguan said: "Hahaha, it's really funny!" It turns out that Wang Dafu, this kid, still has such a heavy taste! ”

After laughing for a while, Zhao Zizhong asked, "Boris, if we really get four big whales back, will we have enough manpower?" Do you need to mobilize some people from the workshop to help? ”

An Dalang interjected: "Brother, now you don't have to worry about these little things. They'll take care of it. Now there are many rookies in the escort team, and the people under Cui Zhaorong are all veterans in dealing with whales, so we don't have to worry about these small things. If they really don't have enough people, Lao Cui will come to us. ”

Zhao Zizhong couldn't help but smile dumbly, now the number of personnel on Qishan Island has indeed increased a lot, and it has only been a few days, and the headache of dealing with the whale problem in the past seems to be nothing more now.

Everyone chatted for a while, and Shu Ya, Gao Yanei, Cao Yongxian, and Taiqin monks arrived one after another.

After everyone saw the ceremony, Mrs. Cui took the ladies upstairs to talk, and gave the hall on the first floor to the brothers and a few guests.

After a while, the servants and maids of the Cui family put on a large round table, and the seven brothers, Liang Daguanren, Taiqin, Shu Ya, Gao Yanei, and Cao Yongxian sat down separately, and they were crowded.

Cui Daoshu said: "It's a little crowded, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, or set up another table, right?" ”

Liang Daguan waved his hand: "No, no, it's more lively." Today is a day of great joy, everyone should let go of the amount and drink a few more glasses. ”

Du Dalei teased: "Liang Daguan, how much more can you drink with that little amount of wine?" Let's take it easy, lest you have to send someone to carry you back later. ”

Liang Daguan blew his beard and glared at him and said, "Don't be complacent, you have the ability to fight with Monk Taiqin?" Do you dare? ”

Du Dalei shook his head: "Victory is not martial? Monk Taichen is no match for me either. ”

"What about me?" An Dalang asked with a smile.

Du Dalei shrank his neck: "Da Lang, forget it between our brothers, is it better to agree with the outside world?" ”

Gao Yanei shouted: "Lao Du, it turns out that you are a bully who is afraid of the soft and the hard!" Do you dare to compete with Benyanei? ”

Du Dalei saw Gao Yanei jumping out with no strength, so he said with a smile:

"You kid is very confident, I'll be with you to the end today!"

Zhao Zi saw that the two of them were about to fight, so he hurriedly came out to stop it.

"You two stop a little, this is not a hotel, the upstairs is full of women. You can't make a mistake, so drink less today. ”

When Du Dalei saw that the boss had spoken, he glared at Gao Yanei: "I'll let you go today, kid, if you have a kind, I'll find you to practice alone in a few days." ”

"Who's afraid of whom? This yaman is not scared. ”

The two stared at each other, and neither of them was convinced. At this time, the maids of the Cui family began to serve food one after another, and soon a large table full of delicacies was placed.
