Chapter 286: Three people eat the swordfish in a can

The boat is full of clouds, and the oars sit on the shore, and the bitter elm looks at the distant mulberry.

Because Erniu followed Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to do things, Xu Si was arranged to carry Maifan stones, take steam baths, cultivate new seeds, and feed the livestock used for seeding, as well as the swimming pool of Xiaobei and the little guys, all of which needed to use this thing.

Xu Si rushed all the way, and didn't forget to practice the guitar, not how he liked music, but that he fell in love with a woman in the inner courtyard, who played a good beard, he felt that he was a little unworthy, what should I do, I went to Zhang Xiaobao to discuss, Zhang Xiaobao gave him a guitar, saying that he could play it with the sound of the beard, as for whether this is the case, Zhang Xiaobao is not clear.

The out-of-tune thousands of rivers and mountains that are against Zhang Xiaobao are always estimated to be no, Wang Juan praises him every time he listens to Zhang Xiaobao, this song can be a battlefield killer, the kind with infinite power.

Xu Si sat on the boat and passed through Jeju at this time, saw Yushan, and missed it in his heart, so he couldn't do it, in fact, it didn't have much to do with Yushan, even if many celebrities wrote things here, the most important thing was that he was hungry and rummaged through the bag, which contained canned food that Zhang and Wang had just researched for a short time.

It is only used in the inner courtyard, not take-out, and it has not even been delivered in the palace, for fear that Li Longji will be addicted to it, so he wants it every day, and this is the canned Yangtze River saury in his hand, the kind of meat that has been removed from the fine scales, removed the internal organs, and even removed the meat with a bitter taste on both sides when the stomach is opened, the cost is very expensive, and it is iron-skinned.

Xu Si was about to eat it, and there was more than half a jar of tempeh sauce left over from yesterday, turned out the pot helmet, and when he wanted to eat the sauce, he clicked his mouth twice, and wanted to drink, but he found that the gourd wine he brought when he came out was drunk the day before yesterday, eat such a good can, don't drink some wine, and I'm sorry for the Yangtze River saury.

Xu Si began to look at the shore, eh~? There is a wine shop on the shore of the north bank, which also sells tea, okay, that's it, "Boatman, dock, near the north shore, I'll go up and eat something, you can eat when you're hungry, and I'll pay you after eating, count it mine." ”

"Guest officer, it's not okay to lean on the past like this, the north shore of the people is still boating, with your head on your head, isn't that looking for a mouth fight to fight?" The man who was rocking the oar asked worriedly.

"You stupid, you move forward, turn your head, just think it's from the other side, don't you do it, hurry, starve me to death." This little problem was too simple for Xu Si.

The boatman heard that it was right, and walked forward, taking advantage of the fact that there were no other boats coming and going, the oars were biased, the boat was transferred over, and slowly pasted to the shore, there were really other boats parked here, and the stakes for the boat were prepared on the shore, and the boatman first put on the gangplank, let Xu Si go up, and then tied the boat, and called the wife and children on the boat, and went to open meat together.

My wife and children are very happy, half a chicken, it takes more than ten or twenty texts, and I have met a good person.

Only men are ready to drink a bowl of rice wine, and if there are too many, they will be embarrassed, and if they can't catch a good talker, they will die in a pit, otherwise next time people would rather go by land.

Xu Si didn't care about this money, how much could he spend on a meal in a small wine shop, he was anxious to find a wine that could be paired with the Yangtze River saury, and asked the shopkeeper's part-time buddy, all the wine that Xu Si could say was the same, and finally had to order a more expensive, half-year aging, the shopkeeper's guarantee was definitely not the kind that was taken out in five and a half months to bluff people, and the day before yesterday was enough for a month.

Xu Si doesn't care if he can't sell it for half a year, or if he really buries it specially, as long as he can drink it, nothing else, he is wronged to order the saury in the can, and he will release it for breath in a while.

Don't forget to shout to the person who is also the shopkeeper and his buddy, "Don't put ginger, don't put other things, you must be the best, and you will be given as much as you want." ”

Since Xu Si followed the new master's family, he doesn't like to drink messy things, and he usually drinks soy milk without sugar, so he immediately replied: "Okay, a bowl of half-year aging, don't mix it with wine in water, serve wine directly." ”

The second half of the sentence is shouted with the kitchen behind, and it is estimated that there are people inside who are busy cooking and mixing drinks, which sounds strange and scary.

Soon, the wine came up, and it was boiled, Xu Si smelled it, yes, he didn't mix the water, no, he didn't mix the wine into the water, it was very pure, and then looked at the six empty wine bowls on the table next to him, and the people who were looking for a convenient place to go finally understood why his alcohol was so high.

Xu Si tasted the wine, frowned, and was quite satisfied, at least it was real wine, although the taste could not be compared with what he drank at home, but no one at home had nothing to eat canned food, there were good cooks to cook, and whoever ate canned food was used for emergency use when he went out, and he was afraid that people in the inner courtyard like himself would not be used to eating in a place where there was no water and clouds outside and between sea clouds.

blame yourself for slander, and drink all the wine you brought in advance, make do with it, this wine is also paired with saury?

When he was about to take the can, he saw the shopkeeper and the man look over, and ordered: "If there are any side dishes, serve a few things, and make up an even number." ”

The shopkeeper and the guy agreed, and happily went to get it, Xu Si was embarrassed to be seen, and it was a bit bad to only order a bowl of wine.

took out more than half a jar of tempeh sauce, thought about it and took out another spicy cabbage with a flat bamboo tube, and finally the canned Yangtze River saury.

When he landed, it caused a few surprised movements, Xu Si knew that this was the curiosity of people who had never seen canned food, and they were used to it, as a subordinate, food, clothing, housing and transportation could reach such a level, that is, it was only possible in Zhang Wang's two families, and Li Junwang also made do, which is why some people did not leave after saving enough money to leave.

didn't care about other people's curiosity, Xu Si picked the canned food with chopsticks, the steamed canned food had a layer of jelly on it, and there was yellow and white meat inside, the yellow one was smoked first, and the white one was directly put in and steamed, one was chewy, one was tender, and there were more than a dozen ginger slices.

Pick up a ginger slice, put it in your mouth and suck it, there is a slight spicy, and there is a fish fragrance, and I sighed in my heart, this is the kindness of the little boy and the little lady, and I have to repay it well.

The shopkeeper and the man also brought four kinds of snacks and dishes, and there were a lot of them, a five-inch plate, full of them, and after putting things away, he took the opportunity to look at the cans, sniffed, and asked with a smile: "This brother, where did you buy the fish?" Looks good. ”

"There is nowhere to sell, the inner courtyard on the Zhuangzi is always available, this is called canned food, naturally good, this is a heart, the master is afraid that the subordinates who are out of the house will not be used to eating things from other places."

Xu Si's mood fluctuated too much today, thinking about the woman in the inner courtyard, and thinking about the good of the main family, so he replied casually.

"Oh." The shopkeeper and the guy answered, in fact, he didn't understand what was going on, which Zhuangzi thought about his subordinates like this? I didn't believe it, so I turned around and went to add tea to others.

There is an eight-and-a-half-year-old boy in the boat family, Xu Si also gave sweet ginger slices when taking the boat, called the bird, the family means that the baby hopes that the baby can spread its wings and fly one day, but in hard days, usually the bird also helps to control the direction when the water is down, and a few days of contact are not unfamiliar to Xu Si, a guest.

Hearing the shopkeeper say that Uncle Xu eats fish, he put down the chicken head in his hand and said: "Uncle Xu likes to eat fish, and when he gets on the boat, the bird will give Uncle Xu a fish to eat, and the bird will catch a big fish." ”

Xu Siyi listened to the little bird's words, and hurriedly smiled, he likes the baby, because the little boy and the little lady are the baby, beckoning, "At that moment, the little bird invited the uncle to eat fish, and now the uncle invites the little bird to eat, and the uncle can't finish eating alone." ”

The little baby knew the preciousness of the contents of the tin sheet, and as soon as he put the head of the chicken into his mother's plate, he jumped over happily, "The little bird will help my uncle eat it." ”

As soon as I ate the bird, I finally found that something was wrong, I have a boat at home, and I usually eat fish, and I am tired of eating it, but why is the fish in this box so delicious? The thorn is crispy as soon as you bite it, and the frozen child is also delicious, put it in the mouth, and it will enter the stomach as soon as it slips, which is cool.

"Uncle Xu, which Zhuangzi are you? Is it really inferior? "The little baby has a straight mouth and has something to say.

"Well, it's a subordinate, Zhangjia Zhuangzi of Sanshui County, who was sent out to do things." Xu Si specially picked a piece of smoked meat for the bird in the can, the little baby generally likes to eat chewy, as a snack, of course, no matter how small it is, it is willing to eat soft things, and it is also good to eat big fat meat, and others can first stuff the chewed stuff in their mouths, and the teeth have not yet grown, and it is a good thing to eat into the stomach.

Little Bird didn't know anything about Sanshui County, nodded casually to indicate that he knew, and lowered his head to help Uncle Xu eat.

The two people sitting next to him to eat understood why a subordinate can eat something that others have never seen, it turned out to be a person from the Sanshui Zhang family, a descendant of the Sanshui Zhang family, not a person from the current person, pick out one at random, they are all masters who can write and calculate, it is said that the guys of the flagship store in Shuiyun can chant poetry with others.

Immediately, a person stood up, clasped his fists and said, "It turned out that Brother Xu is here, and the younger brother respects Brother Xu." ”

As he spoke, he drank a large bowl of wine, and the other person also quickly got up and accompanied him with a bowl.

Xu Si had no choice but to get up, no matter how powerful the main family was, there should be etiquette, even if the wine of the other two people was mixed into the water, he had to accompany a bowl, fortunately, the amount of wine was still there, and the degree of drinking at home was high, and he raised his head to drink the wine, his stomach was strong, and he quietly burped.

The two of them were also interested, no longer bothered, smiled at Xu Si kindly, and asked the shopkeeper and the guy to serve new wine, and when they had something to say to others in the future, the people of the Sanshui Zhang family had drunk wine with them, without the slightest shelf, or the kind that killed a bowl.

The little bird stopped his chopsticks after eating two pieces of fish, not because he didn't want to eat, but because his parents gave him a look, and when he saw Uncle Xu drinking a bowl of wine with someone, he turned his head and asked: "Uncle Xu, where is this fish, the little bird has never eaten it, how much does uncle's fish cost?" ”

"This is the fish in the Yangtze River, and when the bird wants to go in the future, it will row over to see, and the fish is brought to Luoyang when the family boat passes by the Yangtze River."

Xu Si considered the amount of wine he had, motioned to the shopkeeper to bring another bowl, and said to the bird.

"Uncle Xu's family has a boat? Is it big or not? Is it bigger than my ship? "Birds compare.

"Big, you can go into the sea to drive, my uncle doesn't have a boat, it's all the master's boat, built by the two docks over there in Jingshui."

Xu Si gave the little bird another piece of fish and continued.

Xiao Niao didn't eat this time, looked at Xu Si happily and hopefully, and asked carefully, "Uncle Xu, is it really Jingshui Boat Travel?" Is there a new kind of boat there, which looks like other small boats from the outside, but is fast against the current, and has special wheels for rocking nets, so you can catch fish as you go?

The little bird saw it once, the man obviously had a big boat, but instead of rowing a small boat around the little bird, he also told his father that the boat could not be bought by others, so he had to go to Jingshui Boat Line to customize.

The price is not expensive, but how can you buy it? Uncle Xu, can you help me figure out something? ”

Xu Si pondered for a moment, and just when the bird's father came over to pull the bird back, he said, "The bird wants to buy it?" ”

"Yes, my family also wants a good boat, it is not difficult to carry people, and it is convenient to fish, and many people want to buy it." The bird nodded violently.

Xu Si has decided now, "In this case, Uncle Xu will write back now, and Uncle Xu will go home in a few days, Xiaoniao will find other people who want to buy a new ship, send Uncle Xu to Luoyang first, and some stones, Uncle Xu will give money for the shipment, that is, go farther, after arriving in Luoyang, wait a few days, and there will be a new ship sent to Luoyang, and you can bring it back." ”

Xu Si is ready to use his rights this time, since he has discovered the market, he must open up, it seems that he has to add manpower in the Jingshui boat line, the market research work has not been done in place, and all of them are customized, and they must be afraid that they will not sell well.

Xiao Niao was happy now, and he was afraid that Uncle Xu would deceive people, so he asked, "Can Uncle Xu really bring a new ship?" Isn't Uncle Xu a subordinate? ”

"Bird, don't talk nonsense." The bird's father lectured.

Without waiting for Xu Si to explain, one of the two people who had been drinking with Xu Si just now said to Xiao Bird.

"Little guy, your Uncle Xu is not an ordinary subordinate, that is the inner courtyard of the Zhang and Wang families, and what the people of the Zhang and Wang families say is a decision, thank you Uncle Xu."

"Huh? So powerful? Can the subordinate speak for the Lord's house? Thank you, Uncle Xu, my family doesn't need money for this return trip, and what I said is counted, is it my father. ”

The little bird also assured that the little bird's father nodded, which meant that, the son's words came out, and it meant that the adult was the one.

This time it was Xu Si's turn to be surprised, looking at the bird's determined appearance, it seems that he has done this more than once, except for his own master's family, whose adult dares to let the baby be in charge? It's amazing.

With a move in his heart, Xu Si asked Xiao Bird, "Do you want to learn more powerful skills?" If you want to learn from Uncle Luoyang, I will arrange it for you, as long as you are willing to work hard, there will be no difficulty in taking the imperial examination when you grow up. ”

"Really? More powerful than Uncle Xu? "The little bird is tempted, he really wants to be knowledgeable, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity.

"What is uncle? There are many people who are better than their uncle in the main family, especially a group of little babies who have studied for several years, and any one of them is bigger than their uncle's ability, and their uncle can't pass the imperial examination, but they can. ”

Of course, Xu Si understands the ability of his master's family, and the cultivation of talents is generation after generation, and the more the new generation, the more powerful it will be in the future, because the previous generation must write out their experience for future generations to see.

Xiao Niao didn't stare at Xu Si's canned food this time, and ran back to his parents to discuss with his parents whether he wanted to go to Luoyang to learn from others.

Xu Si didn't continue to eat at this time, took out a piece of charcoal, spread out the paper, and began to write a plan on it about selling the ship to a farther place, preparing to find a local yamen after the road, give some money, and then use his identity to let the people of the yamen have an official post to send to Luoyang.

The sun gradually walked to the center of the sky, making people feel warm, Xu Si, who wrote the letter and drank two sips of wine, took the guitar behind his back in his hand, tuned the tune, and began to play gently, only playing but not singing.

When I was about to put away the guitar and continue to hurry, a person came from the river, and praised before I got close: "Good, good song, soft and soft like a woman going out, crisp and crisp like a spring in the heart, this brother invited, under the sound of the piano, suddenly, especially in the pamper, plucked a leaf to peek at the feeling of the favorite people, good music, good piano, good heart one." ”

Xu Si was shocked, what the person said was right, he just missed others, but his mind was heard from the sound of the guitar, as if he had no secret at all, he was very uncomfortable, and he didn't know what this person meant, could it be that he wanted to laugh at himself?

Looking at the person, he was in his twenties, with a clear face, a look in his eyes, a blue scarf on his head, a light gray gown, a pair of pigskin leather boots with wooden soles, a four-finger-wide dribble around his waist, and a head shaking his head in front of him.

Xu Si didn't see what the person was doing, and he didn't talk for a while, so he continued to put the guitar in the cloth bag, as if he hadn't heard what he had just said.

"This benevolent brother, why rush to leave, why don't you play another song and let me listen to it below, huh? The fish in this box is good, the shopkeeper's bowl of wine, don't mix with water, this benevolent brother, what you just said is right? ”

No one came to see it, sitting next to Xu Si, and seeing the bird eating the leftover canned fish, he was ready to taste it, regardless of whether the people allowed it or not.

Xu Sisuan saw that this person should be a literati, and only a literati is so free and easy, when he encounters something strange, he will move forward, and when he encounters something delicious, he will taste it, no matter whether he knows him or not, as long as he thinks that you are the same person, he can drink with you I don't know the southeast and northwest, and I don't feel tired after chatting all night.

When you see that people want to eat canned food, let them eat it, and push another little bit of spicy cabbage in front of the people, eat it all today, and there will be something new to eat tomorrow when you get to the place, and there is a branch in the water cloud room over there.

The person who came was indeed not polite to Xu Si, picked up a piece of saury fish, and ate it beautifully, stretched out his tongue and ****** lips after eating, and boasted: "Tender than lamb fat, crispy as old crispy skin, this benevolent brother, what you just said is right, right?" ”

"Brother Tai must have listened to the errand, where are there women and spring water, listen to Rourou, that is I want to get more silk, listen to the crisp, that is the sound of copper coins, I am crazy about money, my surname is Xu, I have been in the fourth place when I begged on the street, they all called me Xu Si, I am poor and afraid, and when I have nothing to do, I am worried about how to make money."

Of course, Xu Si couldn't admit that the thoughts in his heart were guessed and led elsewhere.

"Oh? How can it be? Under the father's surname is a king character, a single name Wei, the table word Maha, Wang Wei Wang Maha, Brother Xu's business is doing well, how come I have never seen this iron fish box. ”

The visitor also introduced himself and paid attention to the canned food again.
