Chapter 09: Please Eat Yusheng
(0009)
Brigadier Zhang pulled out the bamboo spear, lifted the silver carp, placed it on a rock, and then cleaned the area around the rock with seawater.
In the 17th century, the sea water was basically free of industrial pollution, and its self-purification ability was very strong, although it was salty, it was relatively clean.
He used a firewood knife to break open the green bamboo, cut a sharp piece of bamboo, and then skillfully scaled, sliced, and deboned the silver carp. This was all learned in the army before, although it has not been practiced for a few years, fortunately it has not been completely abandoned. Soon, the crispy raw fish fillet was cut. He threw a few slices of yusheng into his mouth and chewed them with relish.
Yang Yinghan looked at him like a monster, and said a little worriedly: "Yulin, you eat raw fish fillet...... I'm going to have diarrhea. ”
Zhang Zhun smiled and said, "It's okay." You have a slice too. ”
As he spoke, he handed her a bamboo stick.
Yang Yinghan hesitated and didn't dare to move.
Zhang Zhun said encouragingly: "It's really delicious, can I still lie to you?" ”
This phrase worked. Yang Yinghan finally mustered up the courage to slowly pick up a piece of yusheng and slowly put it in his mouth. After chewing it, it looked so strange that my mouth stopped moving. Eventually, though, she ate the fillet.
"How? Isn't it delicious? Zhang Zhun said expectantly.
"There's no taste." Yang Yinghan frowned and said.
"Yusheng is a fresh word, delicious and nutritious." Of course, Zhang Zhun can't let his masterpiece go unappreciated, and said with a smile.
"However, if you eat undercooked food, you will get sick." Yang Yinghan is still very worried.
"No, it won't. Only dirty, poisonous, and spoiled food will get sick if you eat it. This fillet is fresh, clean, and non-poisonous, so how can you get sick? Zhang Zhun continued to lobby.
Yang Yinghan probably felt that what he said was also a little reasonable, so he ate two more slices and gradually got used to the taste of yusheng. But Zhang Zhun also asked her to eat, and she said that she was indeed full. She took out two rice balls, handed them to him, and said, "You can eat them." ”
Zhang Zhun unceremoniously took the rice ball and ate it.
If you're really hungry, don't pretend.
After eating a lot of yusheng and gnawing off two rice balls, Zhang Zhun was finally full.
When he was full, he worked hard, Zhang Zhun found a shallow bay with fish again, lured out the hidden fish with firelight, and then made a ruthless attack. As a result, six large yellow croakers were pierced in a row, each of which was more than five or six catties. Zhang Zhun got a bamboo pole and hung the fish on the bamboo pole, and the two of them carried it back one after the other.
Looking up at the location of the morning star, it should not be even twelve o'clock in the evening. The first month of the month has short days and long nights. The yusheng just now can barely be regarded as a supper. It's not bad to have a beautiful woman to eat supper, which is probably the most primitive entertainment in the Ming Dynasty.
Back in the shantytown, Zhang Zhun suddenly found that Yang Ruifeng and the mouse were lighting torches and preparing to go out to find someone. Seeing the two of them carrying a bamboo rod of fish back, both of them looked weird, and they stopped talking. Yang Yinghan's expression, of course, was very unnatural, lowered his head, and hurriedly hid in the house. Zhang Zhun didn't bother to explain, handed over the fish to the mouse, and went back to sleep by himself.
In the second half of the night, Zhang Zhun really slept soundly.
When I woke up the next day, it was already the sun on my buttocks. Yangjiatun has never had an accurate time, and everyone acts according to the sky. When they came to the mouse's house, Yang Yinghan, Yang Ruifeng, Huang and others had already gone to Laoshan with others to collect firewood, and only Yang Kaide and the mouse were at home.
Breakfast was ready, and it was actually thinly sliced fish fillet. It seems that she still understands quite quickly. It's a pity that she doesn't know that fish fillets are a bit ...... when used for breakfast Fortunately, there are also wild vegetable porridge and wowotou.
After drinking two bowls of wild vegetable porridge and gnawing on four nests, Zhang Zhun and the rat came to Red Rock Beach.
The neighbor's five Yangs were already waiting here, and all five of them seemed eager to try, each carrying a prepared sharp bamboo gun in their hands.
"Erleng!"
Zhang Zhun was about to talk to Wuyang, when suddenly someone next to him shouted.
When I turned my head, it turned out to be the three young people I met yesterday, and they all looked at them with expectant eyes. It seems that they also want to join Zhang Zhun's fishing team.
"Is there something wrong?" Zhang Zhun asked directly.
"Erleng, can you teach us to tie fish too?" The young man at the head asked expectantly.
spoke with the word "also", indicating that they must have communicated with Wuyang, but Wuyang didn't dare to agree rashly. After all, this is something that Zhang Zhun can decide. The three of them didn't give up, and they were waiting for Zhang Zhun to arrive here.
"Yes!" Zhang Zhun said casually.
"Master!" The three of them immediately changed their names.
Zhang Zhun felt that this title was a bit nondescript, as if he was twenty years older. In fact, the age of the second stunned man is not yet seventeen years old, but he is only strong, and he looks like he is twenty years old. However, Shifu is a very common honorific title, and it makes sense for them to teach them kung fu themselves, and they call themselves Shifu.
When Wu Yang heard the three of them call him like this, he also changed his name to the master.
"Okay, don't be polite, it's okay to call me master, it's okay to call me Yulin, they are all brothers in front of the house and behind the house, there is no need to make so many rules. I'm sorry, but the three of you are from the same tun, but I really don't remember your names. As you know, I didn't remember my last name very well. Zhang Zhun nodded and said bluntly.
"The three of us are called Zou Mingjia, Hao Linyong, and Yin Fengyi." Of course, the three of them would not mind, and hurriedly said their names.
These three young people, of course, are also military households, and their whole family is a military household. The more shrewd one is called Zou Mingjia, the black one is called Hao Linyong, and the other one is called Yin Fengyi, who is said to run fast. They are all miscellaneous families from Yangjiatun who migrated from Sichuan.
The Fushan Institute was established during the Hongwu period, and none of the military households were locals, all of whom were transferred from different provinces. The founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was very sensitive to rebellion and rebellion, and did not hesitate to kill for this. As for the guard system, he insisted that only when the military households came from different places could they effectively prevent the gathering of people to rebel.
Because of his regulations, the military households of Fushan came from a total of eight different provinces, forming the most primitive eight tuns. The farthest military families even came from Yunnan. Each tun is from different provinces, with different customs and habits, and different interests and demands, so it is not so easy to rebel.
However, even so, Zhu Yuanzhang was not at ease, and he ordered to add some miscellaneous households in each tun. The so-called miscellaneous households are not the same as most people in the tun. For example, most of the military households in Yangjiatun are from Huguang, so the military households from Sichuan, Henan, and Yunnan have become miscellaneous households.
Zhu Yuanzhang's main purpose in setting up miscellaneous households was to monitor the movements of each tun and prevent people from gathering to make trouble. If there is any disturbance in each tun, miscellaneous households can ventilate and report at any time. Behind the scenes, these miscellaneous households, also known as "Erwuzai", are said to be the earliest titles invented by Yuan Chonghuan, and the meaning of them is understood by everyone.
Because the miscellaneous households have undertaken such a bad surveillance task, in their respective tuns, of course, they will be looked down upon. Everyone else is a military household from one province, only you are from a different province, who is not bullying you? In the 21st century, there are still regional disputes, let alone the Ming Dynasty?
There are only eight miscellaneous households in Yangjiatun. They are naturally a first-class disadvantaged group in the tun, even if it is Yang Kaide, it is not very friendly to these miscellaneous households. Of course, it doesn't go too far. After all, most of the people in the miscellaneous households are also poor. It's not interesting for the poor to make trouble for the poor.
It is already miserable to be reincarnated as a military household. Reincarnation as a miscellaneous household is even more miserable. If you are unfortunate enough to be reincarnated as a remnant of the miscellaneous household, it will really be so miserable that it can't be more miserable. It's just that the three of them are all Yu Ding in the miscellaneous household.
The perverted regulations of the Ming Dynasty are Lao Tzu's military households, and the whole family is a military household. The eldest son inherited the position of Lao Tzu and was called the "Zhengjun". If Lao Tzu has an official position, he is called "Sheren". Others became alternates, known as "Junyu" or "Yuding". For example, in the rat's family, Yang Kaide and his eldest son Yang Ruifeng are the main army, and the rat and his younger brother Yang Dangsheng are both Yu Ding.
The regular army is issued by the imperial court, even if it is in arrears, at least the accounts are still recognized by the imperial court. If the court has money one day, it should be cashed out. But the remnants of the army were miserable. The surplus military has no money and food to distribute, so they can only make a living on their own, but they cannot leave their nationality. Since you can't leave the country, it means that you can't leave the jurisdiction of the Thousand Households. The state does not give money and food, and they are tied with ropes by law, this is the miserable situation of the remnants.
The military families had no entertainment at night, and they did not know how to use contraception, so they could only continue to create people until their wives could not have children. Therefore, even if the premature mortality rate is very high, the average military family will have five or six children. Families of seven or eight, or even a dozen children, are not uncommon.
The regular army's money and food have to feed so many people at home, and the pressure can be imagined. Especially now that the money and food have been in arrears for more than half a year, and they have not been starved to death, it is already a miracle. No wonder you will cry with excitement when you eat a meal of fish, it's so miserable!
The family of three people is really poor, they don't even come to the mice, and they don't eat the last meal. There was no way, so they had to go to the beach every day to try their luck. Because there is no professional guidance, their fishing level is indeed not good, and the harvest is basically none.
Yesterday, after a day of wandering, I got a fish, and the three of them didn't know how to divide it. Seeing that Zhang Zhun got so many fish back, the three of them simply had their eyes protruding. Although they knew that they were miscellaneous and were not very popular, in order to survive, they still mustered up the courage to come to Zhang Zhun.
