Lu Yu took his niece down from the roof, and Mrs. Zhang left him at home for dinner.
At this time, it was still early before noon, Lu Yu did not agree, and said that he would take the people in the village out to chop firewood when he returned to the village. Today's weather is sunny and windless, perfect for going out and chopping wood.
Before leaving, Lu Yu jokingly asked Lu Jiayu if he wanted to go home with him.
Lu Jiayu hesitated for a moment, and then actually agreed, she asked Lu Yu if there were any fish and lotus pods to eat at home. Lu Yu said that there were fish and lotus flowers, but he didn't know if he could eat them.
So Lu Jiayu decided and said that he would go to the village with Lu Yu.
Lu Ming said to his daughter: "Isn't there a fish in our family?" Or is your uncle's fish tastier? β
Returning home through the teleportation array, Lu Yu put down the fish, asked Yan Xi'an to accompany her, and went to the backyard by herself, wanting to see if the frozen lotus pods could still be eaten.
When it snowed, it was already the end of August, and there were indeed some lotus leaves and lotus flowers at that time, but most of them had withered, and those lotus flowers, which had grown old and scattered, had become lotus seeds.
Because of this, Lu Yu picked off those old lotus pods and found that the lotus seeds inside seemed to be edible. Of course, it's not just eaten raw, it has to be cooked, it's too hard to eat raw, it's the same as a stone.
And when picking the lotus pod, Lu Yu saw that there were a few fish stuck on the ice that had been re-frozen, and these unlucky fish happened to be trapped by the ice on the surface of the pool, and they were all dead.
Lu Yu took down the frozen fish, cut them and salted them, and then moved in his heart, and took them to Lu Di and Lao Gao respectively. There were still many wild boars and hares in the two families that had not eaten meat, but there were certainly no fish.
After sending two of them, Lu Yu thought that there were still many people who had never eaten fish, so he wanted to send more out. So Lu Yu wanted to go out again, go to the vicinity of Nuantan, catch more of the wild fish that were crowded together, and give them to others.
Because yesterday I said that I would take Yan Xi'an out to fish together, so this time the two of them went together. Lu Jiayu saw that the uncle was going out and was about to hurry, but was coaxed by Lu Yu and asked Yan Xiding and Lan Shaofang to play with her at home.
This time he went to the mountain, Lu Yu brought a basket, a very large one.
When the two of them arrived at the warm pool, they walked a few steps down, and found that there were many fish floating on the water, turning the belly of the fish upward.
"It's a pity that a lot of fish died." Yan Xi'an picked up a branch and flicked the dead fish on the water.
Lu Yu thought to himself: "Even if these fish don't die for a while, they will soon be eaten, so what's the pity about dying sooner or later." He said: "There are so many fish, you see there are quite a few under the water, one squeezed into the other, and many will suffocate and starve to death." β
"Alas, then uncle, hurry up and catch the dead fish, let's share it with others."
"Dead fish have to be caught, and some live fish should be raised, and I will send them into the valley as soon as possible to raise them, and maybe I will be able to feed them." Lu Yu first used a stick to pull the dead fish to the shore, picked them up one by one and put them into the basket.
"Uncle, don't you know how to 'take things from the air'? Why do you have to pick it up by hand? β
"Yes, yes, but I'm not skilled, I'll pick up the dead fish first, and then the live fish will be 'separated' out." After thinking about it, Lu Yu poured the dead fish in the basket to the ground again, ready to use it to hold live fish.
Yan Xi'an smiled: "Then you take it quickly, I want to see it." β
Lu Yu glanced at the basket behind him, then looked at the water, stared for a moment, and waved his hand again.
The live fish at the bottom of the water flew up one after another, as if they jumped up on their own initiative, and as if they were being pulled by invisible fishing lines, and they all landed in the basket accurately.
Afraid that the fish would freeze to death immediately when they came out of the water, Lu Yu didn't dare to delay, lifted the basket, and passed it into the valley, and then poured those fish into the valley stream.
Lu Yu's movements were very fast, and more than a dozen fish in the basket were all sent into the streams in Anding Valley unharmed, and all of them were still alive.
Spread out of the valley, Lu Yu concocted the same method, and moved the fish into the valley twice.
Yan Xi'an saw Lu Yu stop and asked him, "Uncle, there are still a lot of fish in the water, don't you move?" β
"No, there are already fish in the valley, and there is not much water in it, so with so many fish, it's almost the same." Lu Yu said: "I'll catch some more, and we'll take them and give them away." He asked Yan Xi'an again: "Who do you say we want to give it to?" β
"To whom?" Yan Xi'an thought for a while, crossed his fingers and said, "Brother Xiao Ming has it, and Uncle Lu Di and Uncle Gao have also sent it, so you can send some to Sister Fang, the village chief, Uncle Qi Xiang, and ...... There is also the Liang garrison in the town, and the Liang County Order of the county seat. β
"Okay, I'll give it to them." Lu Yu also thought for a while, and then said: "The county seat will not send it first, there are too many people there, and it is not enough to send a few in the past, so let's send more to Liang Shoubei." β
Yan Xi'an nodded: "Xiding and Shaofang like to eat fish, so let's keep a few more." β
A basket full of wild fish, all fresh, Lu Yu brought it back, Lu Jiayu saw it, and immediately made a fuss of "wow, wow, wow".
Seeing so many fish, Yan Jibai was also surprised, and he asked Lu Yu if he had caught all the fish in Yangshan.
Lu Yu said no, some of the fish in the basket were already dead, and the fish over there were too crowded, so he caught these and came back, and there were still a lot of things left in the stream.
Lan Shaofang asked, "Brother Da Yu, are these fish also frozen to death?" β
Yan Xi'an replied: "It's not that they were frozen to death, the water is heated there, and these fish are suffocated." β
"Huh? Can fish suffocate in the water? It's weird. β
Yan Xiding immediately put on a disdainful expression and said: "What's strange about that, although the fish live in the water, they also have to gasp, if there are too many fish staying together, some of them can't breathe, and they will naturally suffocate to death." β
Lan Shaofang still didn't understand, and continued to ask: "Is there gas in the water?" Then when I wash my face, why can't I breathe? β
Yan Xiding couldn't answer this question, he twisted his eyebrows and pondered for a while, and said nonchalantly: "Anyway, that's the truth, there is gas in the water." β
β¦β¦
Lu Yu took out some fish and asked Yan Xiding to give them to Qi Xiang, Fang Daping and Fang Huaru respectively. Although the snow outside has not melted much, it is frozen hard, and people will not sink when they walk on it.
Lu Yu didn't count the number of fish in the basket, and sent out more than a dozen, and there were still a lot left. Although there were many fish left, it was not enough to send one to every family in the village, so Lu Yu took out a few and kept them, and the rest was simply sent to the town with baskets. There are many people on Liang Gen's side, and these fish don't know how many meals they can eat.
Lu Yu took most of the basket of fish to the town guard yamen, and saw Liang Gen and his subordinates reinforcing the doors and windows of the house in the courtyard. And in every room, there are people.
Seeing Lu Yu and the basket of fish he brought, Liang Gen was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise and joy: "Mr. Lu, where did you catch the fish from on this cold day?" β
"We have a warm stream in the mountains over there, and there are a lot of fish in it." Lu Yu smiled and said, "There are a lot of people here, and I don't know if these are enough to eat." β
"Enough is enough, thank you so much." I don't know from which day onwards, the tone of Liang Gen and Lu Yu's speech has become more popular, and they are no longer literary. Lu Yu felt that this was very good, comfortable and natural.
"Okay, put the fish down, I'll go back first." Lu Yu had to go home to cook, and after eating, he had to take someone up the mountain to cut down trees.
Liang Gen said: "That's not good, Mr. Lu sent us so many fish, we have to eat here at noon before leaving." β
"No, no, I have something to do when I go back, it's a little warmer at noon, and the people in our village will go up the mountain to chop wood together, so I won't eat here."
"That'...... I won't keep Mr. Lu. Liang Gen smiled and said, "Mr. Lu can think of us, Liang is really grateful." β
Lu Yu smiled and didn't say anything, he felt that Liang Gen was a good person and a good official, a good person like Shan Tianfang, and he didn't have anything to say.
Before leaving, Lu Yu's heart suddenly moved, and he turned around and asked Liang Gen: "Liang Shoubei, may I ask Brother Ling Liang County Order, how to call it?" β
Liang Gen smiled and said, "My brother's name is 'Liang Kun'. β
Today, there are "little guests" at home, and the "little guests" also like to eat fish, so Lu Yu stewed two more fish.
The vegetables that froze to death in the backyard were all dug out by Yan Xi'an and his brothers this morning. These cabbage greens are frozen and spoiled, and after melting into ice, they are soft and not brittle at all.
And this kind of dish can't be used to pickle sauerkraut, it will rot after pickling, and it will rot into a puddle of stinky water, so you can only cook it and eat it while there is still a dish.
So at noon, in addition to a big pot of stewed fish, Lu Yu fried a few more dishes, fried with lard and pork.
The tofu that Lu Jiayu has eaten since she was a child (and now it is not big) is all sent by Lu Yu, and she has not eaten it much, and she doesn't remember the taste of tofu very much. At noon today, Lu Yu stewed a large pot of grass carp tofu, and Lu Jiayu loved it very much.
Eating tofu, Lord Lu Jiayu said in the same way: "I didn't go home with Uncle Bai today, otherwise I wouldn't be able to eat tofu." β
Lu Yu laughed and sandwiched another piece of tofu for her.
Yan Xiding asked Lu Yu: "Brother Da Yu, didn't you have breakfast in the morning?" β
"No, I went to the valley in the morning to see the goats, so I went straight to town, what's wrong?"
"Hehe, then you didn't get to eat fish jelly."
Lu Yu smiled and said, "Is the fish jelly delicious?" I've eaten it before. "Even in the winter when it's not very cold, if you don't finish the cooked fish, the soup inside will be frozen into something like mush, like rice paste, but it is thicker than rice paste.
"It's delicious, I've eaten several bites." Yan Xiding glanced at his mother and said, "If it weren't for my mother's fear that I would have an upset stomach and took yesterday's fish soup to heat, I would still be able to eat a lot." β
"It's too cold, it's not good to eat fish jelly."
