Chapter 59: The Boatman's Pleading
If it is said to be used to replenish the body, in fact, fish is better than meat!
Fish soup is good, but it depends on what kind of fish, grass carp is not as good as silver carp, carp is not as delicious as crucian carp, but all this is much worse than a kind of delicious food similar to catfish called stone swallow!
It is said that only nobles can eat delicious food, and it is also on the laws of the state capital. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It is said that a few decades ago, a famous man named Ouyang Xiu passed by this place and saw an old man who went to wait for Qingquan every morning, and he caught an almost transparent fish at each clear spring.
It's not big, the biggest is no more than three fingers, but it's unusually awake.
According to the old man, this fish surfaces in the morning when the sun will rise but not rises, foraging for food when the purple gas comes out at the moment of the first rise of the red sun, and then sinks to the bottom of the water when the purple gas subsides, which is rare.
And where this fish is, there will be a spring, and if the enemy comes, he will instantly burrow into the spring and enter the underground river, which is very elf!
However, although this fish is elf, it has a problem, from the moment the sun jumps out of the ground to a moment later, it has a strong habit of foraging, and likes to smell the most fishy.
So the old man searched for springs, and every day he caught one at a spring and went home to replenish his body.
In the end, he proudly told Ouyang Xiu that he was more than one hundred and twenty years old, and he was neither dazzled nor deaf, so he relied on eating this fish.
Ouyang Xiu and his people had to eat a fish soup with the old man, which was indeed delicious, but it was unknown whether it had the effect of prolonging life.
However, when the local officials heard about this, they thought about it, saying that such precious civilians should not be used indiscriminately, and they should be collected as tributes to prolong their lives!
If it is true, then if it is offered, as soon as the emperor is happy, will he raise his official position to a higher level?
Besides, this fish is so precious, it all depends on the spring to survive, and on this land, there are several springs, and of course, there are also a number of stone swallow fish that depend on the spring to survive.
Of course, the treasures are eaten first by the nobles, so after eating a meal of stone swallow fish soup, the chief official of the state government immediately added another one more regulation to the already many regulations on the state government, and civilians are not allowed to quarry stone swallows!
It's a pity that the stone swallow fish will die soon after leaving the original waters, no matter how you pretend it, as long as it leaves that environment, it will die, when people use ice to freeze the stone swallow transported to the city of Fucheng to make soup, eat it and feel dull and tasteless, and then there is no beauty of stone swallow.
"Hmm...... Well! This delicious fish should be given to the emperor as a tribute, so that he can know what he usually eats! It's unpalatable to death! "Yueji was originally such a gentle little lady, but after fainting once, she became like this, she would be coquettish and a little rude.
All right! Maybe that's what she's really like!
However, her nature is also revealed to be kind, because after she thinks it tastes good after drinking the soup, she will feed herself these four woods to drink.
If I hadn't told them myself, the four of us wouldn't be hungry during this time, and I was afraid that they would feed all the fish soup.
It's just that Chen Jin gently clicked his mouth, the fresh aroma of the fish soup is really evocative, it is the taste of Shi Yan.
In fact, the legend of Shi Yan still exists in modern times, but until Chen Jin passed through the first ten years of that time, Shi Yan has been extinct, and the last place to appear is a small mountain village on Guangnan West Road.
I didn't expect that after a thousand years, I could drink such a delicious fish soup, which is not bad!
However, what made this boatman dare to defy the laws of the state government to fish for Shi Yan to curry favor with his own people?
Gongsun Sheng appeared at the hatch, this is a deterrent to the ship, hypnosis can not be commonly used, nor can it be used for ordinary people, otherwise he will be uneasy, but it is different with Gongsun Sheng.
In the eyes of the boat family, this strange Taoist master is more fierce than those legendary generals.
Last night they stopped at a watertown dock and went up to buy some for the road.
When I walked back after buying supplies, I saw the son of a wealthy family in the town galloping through the downtown on a galloping horse, and almost stepped on a little lady of eight or nine years old.
At that time, the Taoist master was still carrying the youngest wooden man on his back, (that is, Chen Jincai), but he knocked the galloping horse out with one punch and saved the eight or nine-year-old lady.
As for the rich family who ran on the horse, who cares?
Therefore, Gongsun Sheng's deterrence against the boat family is the strongest, and there is no one, so far.
Chen Jincai is now in a wheelchair, all wooden, and from time to time Yueji will push him to take a look around the dock town where he is docked, although there are many times when she will drop the wheelchair and drop him too.
But Chen Jincai has already begun to have a good impression of this girl.
Now she is also pushing herself from the cabin to the hatch to look at the sail shadow on the river outside, where the lone heron is the same color as the water and the sky, very beautiful!
The ship's eldest surname is Jiang, and he sails this sailboat with his second son, if the wind and water are smooth, it is also a good choice to easily make money after thousands of miles all the way.
But today he didn't want to make any money, so he took his two sons to the river in the morning to look for the spring, and it took a lot of hard work to catch a few stone swallows, all of which were made into delicious food and given to these strange people in front of him to taste.
Then he knelt at the hatch with his two sons.
Chen Jincai was pushed by Yueji and walked in front of the boatman, his head couldn't be lowered, so he had to turn his eyes down, it was very hard, and in the end he really didn't turn around, and his eyes looked ahead.
"As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you are either a traitor or a thief, what do you think?"
A gentle word, but the boat family surnamed Jiang lowered his body, just a sentence, he actually felt that here, the most frightening thing was not the strange Dao master, but the strange wooden man in front of him!
Everyone who can fight on the rivers and seas and still have children and grandchildren in the same hall and still live in the world has a skill, that is, to see the opportunity of the dawn and watch the blessings and misfortunes of people.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to look at the weather, to see people's minds and temperaments, what kind of people should take it, what kind of people should not take over his business, there is a certain amount of knowledge, after all, the rivers are sparsely populated, in case there is a little bit of bad intentions, the rivers will kill the boatman, and the boat will be hundreds or thousands of times!
However, when he took this business, the boat boss was blind, he thought that a Taoist priest with two Taoist aunts and a few immobile patients would not pose any threat to him, but the fact is that at least two of these people in front of him can threaten the lives of their family.
For example, the strange Taoist named Gongsun Sheng, and the other is this youngest wooden man who can't even move and can only move his mouth, what is Mr. Bai Niu?
However, he felt that he had gone away before yesterday, and after last night, he was very glad that he had taken over the business in the first place!
"The old man does have something to ask for......"
(Hahahaha!) Fifth, third, there are two more chapters in today's task, how do others write these? Oh! Asking for a recommendation, asking for a subscription, asking for a monthly pass? (To be continued.) )
