The Tan people have been very poor since ancient times, because the various dynasties discriminated against them, and they were basically not allowed to live on the shore.

However, even so, they never betrayed their conscience. Basically, they haven't done too many things that hurt the heavens and reason, and judging from the fact that they just rescued Zhu Zilong, it can prove this.

The conscience is true, the conscience is innocent!

However, this does not prevent them from showing a strong character in order to live. The reason is very simple, "Go to sea for three lives, go ashore and bow your head." The Tan family is known as the "gypsy" of the sea, tired, surprised, lost, and the salty sea breeze are all the flavors of life at sea.

During the wind and waves, there is a danger of capsizing and dying at any time. Because, every time I go to sea, I don't know if I can come back, so I don't have the habit of storage, and I live a tight life, relying entirely on God to eat.

As soon as Zhu Zilong's small gold ingots and big silver ingots appeared, they made all the Tan people blush, dumbfounded, but no one stepped forward to take over.

In the end, the village elder Hong, no matter how Zhu Zilong persuaded him, he was only willing to take a few pieces of money, not a single ingot.

moved Zhu Zilong's doppelganger for a while, which is like someone facing 10,000 yuan but only drawing a 100 yuan meaning. It looks silly, but it's the most moving.

The matter of hiring people to travel far away is not something that can be said in one sentence or two, it is a desperate job, and it is no less dangerous than rebellion. Rao is Zhu Zilong's body is good, but after soaking in the sea all night, he is also weak for a while. So, after drinking another bowl of fish soup, he slept and rested on a wooden bed in a house.

By the time I woke up naturally, it was already evening again.

As the men returned from the sea, the island suddenly became much more lively. As a habit of relying on the mountains and eating the sea by the sea, dinner can only be fish.

Zhu Zilong's Song people's clothes have long been torn and cannot be worn, and now they have changed into a black dress and pants of the Tan family, if they don't speak, they are almost the same as the Tan family.

It is human nature to watch, because there is such an outsider as Zhu Zilong on the island, everyone is surprised or curious. When eating, they all came to the village chief's house to watch!

Compared with the village chief and Ah Zhu, as well as the young man Ah Hai who rescued Zhu Zilong on the boat, the tone of the other Tan family members was even more strange. Unless they deliberately slowed down their speech, Zhu Zilong could barely understand a few words.

Therefore, when Zhu Zilong answered and chatted, he often made jokes. Ah Zhu, who was on the side of provoking, laughed unscrupulously, and his voice spread far and wide.

After the explanation of the village elder Hong, Zhu Zilong figured out why there were only a limited number of people in the village, such as the village chief and Ah Zhu and Ah Hai, who were barely talented in language.

This is because the Tan family is not only poor, but also unable to receive education, whether it is a private school or a public school. Whether it was the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, or the current Song Dynasty, the schools on land were reluctant to teach them.

The Tan family has no written language, only a kind of oral Tan dialect. However, the village chief's family is different, because his original father was a refugee during the Tang Dynasty and was homeless. married the daughter of the Tan family, and because he knew some words and knew some Han dialect, he naturally taught it to future generations.

Passed down to this generation, this Tan family is more or less with the help of the village chief, and they can speak Chinese to some extent. Otherwise, Zhu Zilong chatted with them, but he was afraid that he would really be able to talk to chickens and ducks, and in most cases, he would not be able to communicate.

During the day, I didn't know if I drank some fish soup to sleep, and when I waited for dinner in the evening, Zhu Zilong's doppelganger looked at the food of the Tan family and was speechless for a while.

A lot of taro and salted dried fish, plus, well, fish soup is ok. I ran to the village chief's house to look around, and finally found a little rice, and inquired, it is said that the Han people sold it to them, and the price was ten catties of fish and one catty of rice, so they were reluctant to eat rice during the holidays from time to time.

And only eat two meals a day, breakfast and dinner.

Zhu Zilong can't stand this kind of food, of course, it should be said that if you have money and conditions, no one will be willing to suffer anymore. So, he took out the silver ingots on the spot and bought the rice from each family.

There is no opinion on this kind of equal deal.

So, that night at the village chief's house, there was rice that was only seen during the festival, as well as all kinds of seafood hot pot, although the Tan family did not have any seasonings in their hands, but Zhu Zilong had it.

brushed and brushed, and pretended to take something out of the baggage, took out a few oilcloth wrapping paper, and the good seasoning in it appeared.

There were no chili peppers in the Song Dynasty, but the people of the Song Dynasty liked to eat spicy food.

There are many ingredients that provide a spicy taste, such as chili peppers, green onions, ginger, garlic, scallion, pepper, spicy knotweed, leeks, dogwood, mustard, and mustard gnocchi. This was introduced from the Tang Dynasty and came after the Song Dynasty. It can be used as a substitute for chili peppers!

I saw Zhu Zilong grind the mustard seeds finely, put them in a bowl, mix them with warm boiling water, filter out impurities with fine yarn, add vinegar to taste, and make the simplest mustard sauce. The fish soup is made with fish head and tail and plenty of minced ginger, and the ginger and spicy and fresh fish go well together.

In another bowl, the ginger, garlic and leeks are finely chopped, mashed into a puree, mixed with water, pepper and salt, and mixed well. A Sichuan cuisine, fish, meat and seafood hot pot that the Tan family didn't dare to imagine in the past came out one after another.

------------- the Song Dynasty did not have Hunan cuisine, but there was already Sichuan cuisine (the Northern Song Dynasty had three major cuisines: southern food, northern food, and Sichuan rice), and Sichuan cuisine at that time was also very spicy, and it was as spicy as it is now, because there was a lot of pepper and minced ginger in it.

After a few large tables, almost the village chief's house became a flowing water seat, and the hundreds of Tan families on this island were called comfortable.

After a while, the little water and wine were all put on the table, and soon Zhu Zilong's clone was called a brother and sister with almost all the men in the village. I almost didn't sing anything together, and the friendship lasted for a long time!

On the top of the moon, Zhu Zilong's doppelganger was too strong to drink, and he ran out of the village chief's house in a hurry. Only then did I find out that not only did the village chief's house have no toilet inside, but there was also no public toilet outside.

"It's strange, without C, are all people here defecating in the open ......?" Zhu Zilong's doppelganger touched his head suspiciously.

As soon as I finished muttering in my heart, I saw a group of men coming out of the village chief's house, standing on the beach and pulling open their pants, urinating and urinating in the wind. The big one squats down directly, that is, pulls. As soon as the sea water flushed, it receded, and the stool was gone.

Hemp eggs, it's really open to defecate.

But what about the women? You can't do the same, right? Zhu Zilong thought speechlessly.

However, the reality is that even women are the same. It didn't take long for a group of village women to come out of the village chief's house to eat, and they were also squatting directly on the beach, urinating and defecating basically the same as the men. Just stand a little farther away and don't stand in the same place with the men to urinate!

Zhu Zilong: "...... Embarrassment! ”

Well, embarrassed. But when you think about it, it seems to be quite environmentally friendly. It's much better than pouring oil into the sea, taking out garbage, dumping plastic bags and bottles, and so on.
