Liu Yong was stunned for a long time, if it was true ability and insight, Zhou Yu could throw himself a few streets. After all, Liu Yong has traveled through www.biquge.info the past from the modern era, and he can be said to have an insight into Zhou Yu and know everything about it; And Zhou Yu didn't know anything about him. Sun Ziyun, knowing himself and knowing his opponent, will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Therefore, Liu Yong sighed and said, "I'm afraid I will win." ”

Xiao Qiao turned his head to look at the lake, and muttered to himself: "If this is the case, I don't know what Jiangdong will do to me." ”

Liu Yong was stunned, unable to speak. The two were speechless for a while, silent for a long time, and heard a high-pitched shout from a distance, Xiao Qiao raised his head and said with a smile: "It's Brother Zhou, they're back." ”

In fact, there is no need for Xiao Qiao to say, Liu Yong also heard Zhou Cang's thunderous voice. The two of them were on the other side of the ship, so they turned around and leaned on the railing to look into the distance, and they couldn't help but exclaim, it turned out that unconsciously, it was dusk, when the twilight was darker, the sunset was like blood, and the sky was magnificent.

At this time, the sun is like a naughty child, playing all day, tired of playing, can no longer show the slightest dazzling light, lazy, open its red round face, is so lovely, so kind. The sunset is more like a clever painter, with a wave of his hand, the majestic mountains on both sides are inlaid with gold edges, the surrounding clouds are dyed a dazzling red, the blue sky suddenly becomes a colorful canvas, the lake is sparkling, water birds are flying high, and a fishing boat is sailing to ride the wind and waves, which is a wonderful picture.

In a moment, the fishing boat approached, and I saw Zhou Cang standing at the bow of the boat with a big belly, holding five big fish in his right hand, with a proud face. Liu Yong sighed: "It's a pity that there is one more person in a good sunset picture returning to the fishery, just like a little ink dripping in a beautiful picture." ”

Xiao Qiao laughed and said, "Brother-in-law, you still talk about me." Aren't you also arranging Brother Zhou, you're not afraid of me telling him. ”

Liu Yong also smiled: "What am I afraid of, I am not wrong." It's a pity that if Qian'er is standing at the bow of the boat, a figure like a fairy descending to earth, it is really a beautiful picture. ”

Xiao Qiao ignored him, raised his hand and shouted, "Brother Zhou, you're back." What do you have in your hand? ”

Zhou Cang's eyebrows danced, and he slipped the fish in his right hand higher, and said in a loud voice: "Second Miss, look at the fish in my net." He turned his head and said to the boatman: "Drop the sail!" ”

"Brother Zhou, I'll take a look." Xiao Qiao replied in a coquettish voice, regardless of whether Zhou Cang heard it or not, turned around and lifted the hem of his skirt, and hurriedly went downstairs with small steps. Liu Yong shook his head helplessly and followed. After a while, the fishing boat sailed to the shore, Zhou Cang grabbed the boat without waiting to stop, and went up to the deck of the boat in a few steps, holding the fish, and said happily to Xiao Qiao: "Second Miss, this is for you." ”

"Thank you, Brother Zhou!" Xiao Qiao smiled sweetly, looked at the fish and said in surprise, "Wow, this fish is so big." ”

Zhou Cang was praised by her, smiled, and said quite proudly: "Of course." Each one weighs more than a pound. ”

Xiao Qiao looked at it carefully for a while, and then asked, "Brother Zhou, what kind of fish is this, it looks so strange?" ”

Zhou Cang looked dazed, scratched the back of his head, and said with a smile: "I don't know either." ”

Liu Yong saw that the fish had a big head and a big mouth, a flat body with thin scales, a green back and a white belly, and he didn't know it, so he asked the guy on the side: "Uncle, what kind of fish is this?" ”

The man flicked the fish body with his hand and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Childe, this is a sea bass." ”

Zhou Cang handed the fish to the prince and said, "Old man, you will send it to the kitchen in a while, and make it for us in the evening." ”

Liu Yong said on the side: "Brother Zhou, did you catch these five perch?" ”

"Of course......" Zhou Cang's eyes were a little evasive.

"Each fish weighs more than a pound. Brother Zhou still went fishing with him? ”

"I know how heavy it is when I look at it." Zhou Cang said a little insincerely, looking at Liu Yong's suspicious gaze, he was flustered in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Actually, there is only one I fished." ”

"When did Brother Zhou fish? Why didn't we see it in the same boat? Did you see that? A few more sergeants returned to the boat, one of them grinning and asking the other soldiers.

"I didn't see it, I only knew that these were caught by Brother Zhou." Another sergeant held up a few small fish in his hand

Zhou Cang's face suddenly swollen red, stretched out his legs and kicked weakly, and said ashamedly and annoyedly: "Rabbit cubs, they said they were good to help me, but they actually talked like a fart." If you lose money in the future, I won't lend you a few more. The sergeants didn't care, and with a twist they dodged it, giggling again.

Liu Yong also smiled: "Brother Zhou, do you think this kind of fish is so easy to catch?" If you only take one and come back, I might believe it, but if you take five at once, it's unlikely. ”

Zhou Cang snorted and said with a smile: "I'm really stupid." ”

"Brother Zhou, isn't this fish really caught by you?" Little Joe asked.

Zhou Cang said embarrassedly: "Second Miss, in fact, I really want to fish, but we are not familiar with the water in this lake, and the fish are not very willing to bite the hook, so it took us almost two hours to catch such a point." As he spoke, he pointed to the fish that were about half a catty, and said, "The brothers are all out of interest when they see that they can't catch well, so they pack up and plan to come back." At this time, a few fishing boats passed by, and when they saw that we were dressed well, like rich people, they asked us if they wanted this fish. I heard him say that the taste of this fish is extremely delicious, so I bought all of them and wanted to give them to the second lady to try. I'm not showing off sincerely, but I want to say that if I catch it myself, wouldn't it be more sincere, how do I know that these bunnies don't help me......"

"Thank you, Brother Zhou." Xiao Qiao was moved in his heart, gave a salute, and said, "Although this is not caught by Brother Zhou himself, it is also Brother Zhou's heart for Little Sister." Zhou Cang's heart burst into tears when he heard this, and he couldn't stop laughing. Xiao Qiao said pointedly: "It's not like some people who say it well, but they just talk and don't practice." ”

Liu Yong laughed and said busily: "I'll cook the fish myself in a while, okay?" ”

Xiao Qiao smiled secretly in his heart, but pouted and said, "I didn't force anyone." He turned his head and said to Zhou Cang: "Brother Zhou, tell me how to fish." ”

Liu Yong saw that Xiao Qiaoli ignored him, shook his head and smiled bitterly, invited the prince aside and asked, "Uncle, how to cook this sea bass best?" ”

The male said shyly: "Son, the second child has never eaten sea bass, and he won't do it." ”

Liu Yong saw the helpless expression of the young man, and suddenly his heart suddenly dawned, these poor people caught rare and valuable fish will be sold to rich families to supplement their families, where can they be willing to eat. Liu Yong couldn't bear to touch the pain in the old man's heart, so he said, "Uncle, can the master on the ship do it?" It's the same when I asked him. ”

"Childe really wants to cook himself?" Na Zigong was a little surprised, he thought that Liu Yong was just doing it.

"What? Don't believe it? Liu Yong smiled slightly, "It's not that I'm boasting, the dishes I can cook won't necessarily be the master on your ship." ”

The man was dumbfounded, "Okay then." However, the kitchen is under the cabin, it is very messy, the son please wait here, the second child will ask and tell the son. ”

Liu Yong bowed his head and said: "Then there is Lao Lao." There shouldn't be too much fish, just three tails, and the rest will be put in the back kitchen. ”

Liu Yong did not ask to follow him, because he knew that poor people also have self-esteem. He now has a general understanding of the structure of the building ship, the ship is high and wide, has no sails, and looks like a building, so it is called the "building ship". Bounded by the deck, the upper two floors are mainly guest rooms and cargo holds; There are also two floors below, the upper level is the galley, utility room, storage room and crew lounge, and the lower level is the sailor's workshop and wheelhouse. Square holes were dug in the sides of the hull, and two rows of ten long blades protruded, each manned by two sailors. As the ship sailed, the twenty sailors swung their oars in unison according to the order, and the ship was able to move forward steadily. Sailors and helmsmen lived and worked in a rather dark and confined bilge most of the time, almost isolated from the outside world, extremely lonely and empty. Although Liu Yong was very sympathetic, he couldn't do anything, which is why he sent silver taels.

After a while, the boy came back and said that steaming was the best. Liu Yong nodded, which coincided with his thoughts. The steamed food, the original taste, can retain the unique flavor of the ingredients to the greatest extent, so the taste is delicious, and because the cooking time is short, the ingredients are less damaged, and the nutritional value is also the highest.

There is a kitchenette at the back of the second-floor room, but it is also convenient. Liu Yong cleaned up for a while, and Zi Gong had already brought up the cut and washed sea bass and various ingredients. Liu Yong cleaned up the ingredients needed, ginger, green onions and tempeh were already produced in China, and pepper was brought back by Zhang Qian from the Western Regions.

Liu Yong first used a knife to cut a few cuts on each side of the fish, but it was not cut through, then squeezed with lard, and then marinated with rice wine, tempeh, chives, ginger, salt, and pepper for five minutes. Boil the pot on water, steam for four minutes, then pour out the water in the dish, steam for another three minutes, turn off the heat, and simmer for another five or six minutes without removing the lid. Put another pot, put a little water, add a small amount of lard, soy sauce and vinegar after boiling, and then concentrate the juice to thicken and set aside. Remove the condiments from the fish in the steamer, put it on another plate, sprinkle with fresh chives, wash the soup and get out of the pot.

Seeing that Liu Yong's cooking process was fast and skillful, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that Liu Yong's words were true. Liu Yong smiled and said to him: "I see." My husband can do the same and make the remaining two tails, and you can taste them too. ”

The prince was shocked: "Childe, this is unacceptable." ”

Liu Yong smiled and said: "What can't be done, I say make it." Such a delicacy as sea bass should not be greedy, we people have just three tails, too much will be wasted, and it will not be fresh tomorrow. I still have two more tails here, so I won't do it for you. ”

Although Liu Yong's tone was half-joking, his attitude was extremely serious, and even a little domineering, and he did not allow the slightest hesitation. The prince had to thank him for a thousand thanks.

When Liu Yong finished cooking, the dishes cooked by the chef on the ship were also served. The careful Li Gui set up a small table on the second deck, with only two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, although there are not many dishes, they are all Liu Yong and Xiao Qiao's favorite food. A dozen or so sergeants sat around a large table, full of big fish and meat, and a few jars of wine.

Liu Yong only kept the smallest half of the perch, and the rest was brought to Zhou Cang and them.

"Taste it and see how it tastes." Liu Yong smiled.

Zhou Cang first stretched out his chopsticks and put a piece in his mouth, chewed a few bites, frowned, and said, "Why is it so light, it doesn't taste good, it's not delicious." Li Gui said with a smile: "This kind of fish is just to be eaten like this, and it tastes delicious." Zhou Cang shook his head and said, "I don't like it, if you like it, eat more, I'll eat this." As he spoke, he grabbed an oily pig's trotter and chewed it, pointed to the basin with one hand, and muttered in his mouth: "Brother Liu, you can also have a piece, this is enjoyable to eat." ”

Liu Yong actually likes this kind of rough atmosphere of eating meat and drinking in large bowls, but unfortunately he was born with no alcohol, so he had to smile and shake his head. Liu Yong spent so much effort but didn't get a good deal, he was really a little depressed, so he went back upstairs and said to Xiao Qiao: "Is this fish too light and not delicious?" ”

Xiao Qiao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "No, it's delicious!" ”

"Qian'er, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

"Who lied to you? The fish is tender and smooth, and the fragrance is overflowing, I like it very much. ”

"Eat as much as you like." Liu Yong said happily and sandwiched another piece.

At this time, the lanterns hanging on the boat have been lit, and the upstairs and downstairs are brightly lit, as bright as day. Zhou Cang, Li Gui and others sat around and feasted, boxing, gambling and drinking, noisy and noisy, and the atmosphere was very lively. Liu Yong said with hatred in his heart: "Give it to you, it's really a cow chewing peonies, or a beautiful woman to save face." ”

With the sound of the "whooshing" lake, Liu Yong gradually fell asleep, and when he got up the next day, the sky was already bright, and the boat had traveled a long way. Liu Yong simply freshened up and walked out of the door, only to see Xiao Qiao leaning on the guardrail, looking at the wild ducks in the lake with great interest, the shuttle fishing boats, and Zhou Cang accompanied him sullenly.

"Brother Liu, you're coming out." Zhou Cang saw it like seeing a savior, he could finally get out of the sea of suffering, and beckoned, "Come here." ”

Liu Yong smiled and said: "I'm not free, I still have something to do with my husband." Looking at Zhou Cang's dejected face, Liu Yong was secretly amused. After making a pot of tea and putting two teacups, Liu Yong invited Na Zigong upstairs, "Uncle, please sit." ”

The man hesitated and didn't dare to sit down. Liu Yong said sincerely: "Uncle, although we have only been together for one day, you must also know my temperament. Besides, after talking for a while, I'm sitting, you're standing, and I'm having to look up, isn't it too tiring? Na Zigong smiled and sat down cautiously opposite Liu Yong.

Liu Yong stretched out his hand to carry the teapot, and the prince got up and wanted to get it first. "Husband, please take a seat." Liu Yong pressed his left hand weakly, stretched out his right hand and rushed to it first, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Na Zigong, and asked with a smile: "It's rude, I haven't asked my father-in-law for so long." ”

The prince thanked him and said: "What is the honorable surname, the little old man's surname is Wang, line three." ”

"Then I can call you the third master?"

"Don't you dare, Childe killed the little second." The prince shook his hand again and again, "If the son wants to ask, the second child will tell the truth." (To be continued.) )
