Chapter 36: The Cargo of the Creek Is Intercepted Again (100th of the 6th Month)
Chapter 36 The Creek Cargo Is Intercepted Again
Waiting for the person who was the elder brother to take a bite and say that it was delicious, Wang Juan was relieved.
At this time, the people who were working also stopped, washed their hands in the basin of water, wiped their clothes, and even if they were hygienic, they lined up one by one and went to various cooking places to cook, and there were not so many metal utensils, all of which were wooden bowls.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had already eaten, but the child's digestion was fast, and they felt that they could still eat at this time, and the two of them didn't eat, so they directly asked people to serve a bowl of stew, and the person who served the dishes washed and washed the bowl, so they served a bowl to the two people.
is the same as what Zhang Zhong ate at the beginning, there are a lot of fat slices in it, fortunately, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are relatively tough, and the dishes have been stewed for so long, not too greasy, pick up a slice, dip it in garlic sauce, and stuff it into your mouth, it is quite fragrant.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan ate a few pieces and began to observe others, those people ate more fragrantly, but they were not very willing to eat vegetables, and they had to bite into a few bites of rice balls when they ate a bite of food.
"Xiaobao, it seems that our dishes are still small, let the family bring some radish strips and pickles tomorrow, that thing is not expensive, prepare some salted eggs for the children." Wang Juan found the problem and immediately thought about solving it, the food and drink here are paid by the yamen, what do you have to do with all the money?
"Well, bring some tomorrow, I now have a small jar of stinky tofu in my backpack, take them out and eat, but the people around me give it, turn around and let people make more bean curd, improve it, grind it a few more times, how can a pound of beans make four catties of tofu, at that time, only bean cakes can make five catties of tofu."
Then directly make bean curd, there are several salt farms here, salt is not so expensive, according to their way of eating, give two more pieces of bean curd can eat good, than directly eat salted beans and sorghum rice. ”
Zhang Xiaobao thought of the most common thing, if you can, you can also make salted dried tofu, that thing is good for wine, let alone eating.
Wang Juan didn't hesitate, pulled Zhang Xiaobao's backpack open, and found the jar containing stinky tofu from inside, which was prepared like this when the two of them came, and the backpack contained a lot of things.
It's just to get here, to see who it is suitable for, to help Zhang Xiaobao's father get closer to each other, in addition to these things, there are also sweets, waiting for tomorrow morning to give it back.
Stinky tofu is not expensive, but it is impossible for these people to spend their own money to buy it, if they are really rich, who still eats wild vegetables, when the stinky tofu is taken out, people from a distance don't know, but when Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are flooded by the stench, others will know.
Looking over here one by one, those who got stinky tofu were embarrassed to eat it all by themselves, and divided a piece of stinky tofu that was an inch long and an inch wide into four pieces, and then distributed it to others, and used chopsticks to point a little on it, and sipped it into their mouths, which was a kind of enjoyment.
Zhang Xiaobao also has a piece of stinky tofu in front of him, and he also uses chopsticks to tap a little bit there.
"Xiaobao, can you be more serious and learn from others?" Wang Juan said helplessly.
"Learn from others? I didn't learn. Zhang Xiaobao looked up and understood.
"I really didn't learn from others, give me a piece of stinky tofu or bean curd, I can eat it for three days, give me a salted egg, I can eat it for a week, I have become accustomed to these two things, I have money at that time, let others make salted goose eggs, the kind with salt water, I have eaten half a month and there is a little left, that point didn't have time to eat, so I accompanied you."
"What if it's an ostrich egg?" Wang Juan asked.
"Then you have to use more salt water, otherwise it will be bad after eating, in fact, it's okay to be bad, as long as it doesn't grow hair, I like to eat rotten eggs, it's better than stinky tofu, you can also eat a little, otherwise it will smell uncomfortable."
Zhang Xiaobao explained to Wang Juan seriously, and pushed the stinky tofu in front of Wang Juan in front of him.
As soon as Wang Juan went down with chopsticks, he took away one-tenth of the stinky tofu, and Zhang Xiaobao was a little distressed when he saw it, and he ate too much in one bite.
"What? Distressed? Xiaobao, I really don't know what to say about you, you are usually so generous, but as soon as you put it on top of the food, it becomes harsh, especially for yourself, do you really have to be like this? Don't you know that this is also a disadvantage? Easy for people to take advantage of? ”
Wang Juan swallowed the stinky tofu and said to Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao looked at the remaining stinky tofu, put a little bit on it with chopsticks, sipped it into his mouth and said: "My shortcoming, no one has ever taken advantage of it, in fact, I have been waiting for them to take advantage of it, but who dares?" ”
"You did it on purpose?" Wang Juan felt that this was a weakness left by Zhang Xiaobao, so that others could attack.
"No, but it's not okay for someone to attack me with this, I'm just a kind of nostalgia, you know how I got here when I was a kid, I'm very religious about what I can eat, it has nothing to do with how much money I have, I like to eat the spines of tomato fish.
When I was nine years old, I went to a theater for free, and I saw that it was a war movie made more than 100 years ago, and then I fought and fought, and then there was nothing to eat, and on the battlefield, they were left with three people, and they found an enemy tank, and there was a leftover salted cucumber and two fish bones in it.
When they were eating, they said, I have never eaten such fragrant fish bones, I thought it was delicious, other fish bones are not good to bite, I found that the fish bones of the tomato sauce fish can be eaten, I stole some money, sold a can, ate five meals, and there is a lot of soup left, you know what I said so much, what do you want to express? ”
When Zhang Xiaobao said this, he suddenly asked Wang Juan.
Wang Juan thought for a while, nodded and said: "You mean, if a person likes to eat something, it doesn't necessarily mean that this thing is really so delicious, but in a specific environment, this person has left a psychological hint, which is similar to self-hypnosis, do you want to ......." ”
"I want to use this to promote our Malatang, Li Longji will make a pear orchard, why can't we make a drama? To promote our things in the form of drama, we must first promote this Malatang.
You need to find an agent to do it, otherwise Li Longji is idle, ask this, ask that, ask this matter, he is interested, and people will be eyed by him, as well as our cross talk and sketches, and even storytelling, this can be developed, what do you remember? ”
"How can I have time to listen to those reviews? Do you remember? Wang Juan did think this was a good idea, but she used to only care about learning things.
"Well, I've heard of two, one is the Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness, and the other is Bao Gongzhuan, do you think it's okay to take it out?" Zhang Xiaobao said helplessly.
Wang Juan was also depressed with him, it is now the Kaiyuan period, and he really got the black bag out, how much plot do you have to change? I had the time to think of one myself, and I came up with one.
"Xiaobao, why don't we change Journey to the West? or the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, as well as the Water Margin and the Dream of Red Mansions, I have read these four books several times. Wang Juan thought of these four books.
Zhang Xiaobao shook his head and said, "Let's talk about Journey to the West first, what is he promoting?" The surname Tang, oh, the surname Chen, what does he do? Monk, what you said before was okay, but now in the destruction of the Buddha, do you dare to say Journey to the West? Let's talk about the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang was so good in the early stage, but then it was over, and the orthodoxy was gone, will Li Longji admit that he is not orthodox?
You don't talk about romance, you talk about the Three Kingdoms, this is okay, but people can't read books by themselves? Let's talk about the Water Margin, this is a matter of the Song Dynasty, you can change it, you can change some of the environment that is in line with the Tang Dynasty, but can you change the kind of thinking of the Water Margin? Red Mansion, that one seems a bit difficult to change.
The main thing is the language, the Beijing accent, not Mandarin, and not the current things that are close to Cantonese and Hakka, the reason why we can understand it is that I have been to many places, and you may have learned it specially.
That kind of Beijing dialect is also called Sijiu dialect, which is the meaning of Beijing Sijiu City, the Beijing dialect of the Red Chamber is not the same as ours at that time, it should be called Qingjing dialect, you might as well ask you to eat at that time? How so?
'Have you eaten?' The most common saying in Red Mansions is 'Eat Grandpa' and 'Eat Brother' when you answer can't be 'Eat' 'Eat' 'Eat' That's not Red Mansion, you have to answer 'Please' 'No.'' How is it orchestrated? How does the plot fit? ”
Wang Juan was stupid when he heard it, especially the Red Mansion, listening to what Zhang Xiaobao said, it was really hard to tell the difference, "Xiaobao, do you say that the style of the Qing Red Mansion is true or fake?" ”
"When the fake is true, the truth is also false, and there is no place for inaction, who knows whether he is true or false? The world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article, you say, right? ”
Zhang Xiaobao gave a plausible answer.
Wang Juan didn't care about what was true or false, staring at Zhang Xiaobao, "Zhang Xiaobao, I didn't see it, my mouth was closed one by one, and I said that the Red Mansion was in the words of the Red Mansion, so you also have some research on the Red Mansion?" ”
"What's the research, I'm annoying, it's that you love me today, I love her tomorrow, and then she dies, and when I'm older, I'm a monk, and I'm here, I've gone, I've left, I've stayed, it's always that love, and there's a time to say, disgusting, eat quickly, those two pieces of fat are one for one person, I eat the big one, and you eat the small one."
Zhang Xiaobao's mind didn't put it on at all, he said a perfunctory sentence casually, and ate it again.
Wang Juan was stunned and picked up the small piece of fatty meat, and pressed it twice in the garlic sauce saucer, until a lot of garlic there stuck to the fatty meat, and then he stuffed his mouth into it.
Zhang Xiaobao was much smarter, broke the fat meat in the plate, poured some soup into the plate, raised his head and drank it, grabbed a ginger slice and threw it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and finally felt much better.
The people don't know what the two little babies are talking about, it may become a reality, they only understand that the county magistrate drove his guards aside to eat, and brought the children with him, it seems that he has never regarded himself as an outsider, and he has brought his family and the people together, is there a better county magistrate?
The people ate happily, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan ate a lot, Zhang Zhong was willing to see this kind of thing, and just when he wanted to say something, two fast horses galloped from the direction of the county seat.
"Report~! Twenty miles downstream of the wharf, a merchant fleet was intercepted, and twenty ships of goods were not robbed. The man shouted loudly before he even got off his horse.
Zhang Zhong was taken aback and turned his head to look at his son and daughter-in-law.
Zhang Xiaobao put the chopsticks down, "It's shameless to be embarrassed, let's go see it tomorrow, who is so bold, it shouldn't be from Huayuan County." ”
