Chen Xiuli had already received the news that this Qin Baiting and Song Yan were his classmates before, and they had a good relationship, and the Shen Huai brothers and sisters also met often because they were relatives of their stepmother, so they were almost all people he knew before.

"Brother Qin, Brother Song, Shen Gongzi, long time no see." Chen Xiuli stepped forward to greet him and saluted with his fists.

"Ouch, cousin Xiuli, after all, we are all relatives, call my brother Shen Gongzi, are you a little rusty?" Shen Miaolan smiled slightly and interjected.

Chen Xiuli's expression remained unchanged, and he said bluntly: "The prince of the Hou Mansion, don't dare to climb high." ”

Shen Huai only glanced at him indifferently, and didn't seem to put him in his eyes.

"Everyone is out to play, just call your name, don't make these crepe sets." Qin Baiting stepped forward and hugged Chen Xiuli's shoulders and said, "Xiuli, we are on your land, think about how to greet us." ”

"The food festival, all kinds of amusements, enough for you to play for ten days." Chen Xiuli didn't know where to take out a few pamphlets, handed them out, and said to himself, "There are too many delicious things at the food festival, all of which you don't eat in Kyoto, why don't you go out and try them?" If you stay, the inn is full now, and the female dependents stay in Wang's mansion to live, and the male lives with me in the county government? Just a few doorways? Do you think it's possible? ”

As the guest goes, these sons and ladies are all focused on the brochure, where can they take care of these little things, they all ordered their subordinates to clean up, and they are discussing where to go to play on the side.

"Hey, you see, there's also a hunting game, why don't you go and play, you can also barbecue after hunting, this barbecue is barbecue-" Qin Qingrong proposed.

"What's so fun about that? Didn't you just go to this hunt under the leadership of Your Majesty a few years ago? Could it be that they can compare to the pomp and circumstance of this small place? Shen Miaojun refused.

"Then this one, this haunted house, horror paradise." Song Su laughed and proposed.

"I don't want to go to the haunted house, it's scary to watch! If you guys like it, you can just play it yourself. Chen Xiuya was the first to jump out and object.

"Haha, Xiuya, you usually look bold, why don't you even dare to go to the haunted house? I think Song Xiaogongzi's proposal is good, I always listen to what they say on weekdays What ghosts are weird, I can't see real ghosts, and it's not bad to see fakes, and when the time comes, I will return to Kyoto and scare a lady who can't go out of the door and don't step out of the second door. Shen Miaojun smiled, and was a little eager to try.

"Sister, since Xiuya is reluctant to go, then we don't have to force it, this kind of place, there is nothing fun, in case Xiuya is scared, wouldn't it be bad?" Seeing this, Shen Miaolan hurriedly became a peacemaker and persuaded her.

This is why Chen Xiuya likes Shen Miaolan's fake cousin, more than Shen Miaojun's real cousin, Shen Miaolan speaks softly, has always known how to respect other people's feelings, and never takes ideas, which just complements her fiery personality.

"Then let's not go, how about this? This fishing boat experience allows you to go out and catch fish! And there is no sea in Kyoto, so why don't we go and see it? Song Qiao, who had been flipping through the brochure, proposed.

"This is not bad, it is also written, if you catch the seafood, it will belong to us, and you can make it in the kitchen of the dock! Most of the food we eat in Kyoto is chilled or dried, and we haven't eaten this fresh seafood yet! Song Qiao also added.

"Brother Qin, Brother Shen, what do you think?" Chen Xiuya was also moved and echoed.

"We're casual." Qin Baiting lightly hooked the corners of his lips, and his hand was still on Chen Xiuli's shoulder, "Xiuli, this is your territory, you have to do your best to be a landlord today." ”

He said this, Chen Xiuli naturally couldn't refuse, after all, if he returned to Kyoto, he would inevitably have to deal with these people.

"Brother Qin is right, today's cultivation ceremony will take you around this small place." Chen Xiuli responded, but his eyes fell on Wang Shishi, "Shishi, didn't you say to go out to play?" Let's go together, shall we? ”

"I'm not going, I'm going to see the shop." Wang Shishi didn't want to play with people like Chen Xiuya, so she resolutely refused.

Hua Manxi, who had been silent on the side, suddenly stood up, looked at Chen Xiuli with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Brother Chen, I'll go with you." ”

Chen Xiuli naturally didn't expect Hua Manxi to take the initiative to go with him, and he was flattered at the moment, but he forced himself to press his emotions and asked, "It won't delay your business, right?" ”

"I'm fine." Hua Manxi shook his head and said.

Now that it's decided, let people pack up their things, and after a while, it's time to turn around at the dock.

Fishing boats can accommodate dozens of people, and small ones can only carry three or five people. Naturally, they wanted the largest fishing boat, because it was brought by Chen Xiuli, this fishing boat belonged to Wang Shishi, and the steward in charge did not dare to collect money, but Hua Manxi's character was a brother who settled the accounts, and paid the rent himself, so he invited two boatmen who were familiar with waterways to get on the boat.

However, this group of people began to behave again.

"Where do you need a boatman, you don't need a boatman, but I learned to drive a warboat in the army, this small fishing boat, I can take the helm." Song Su said conceitedly.

"Although you have sailed a warship, this sea route is still familiar to the boatmen, so let the boatmen come." Chen Xiuli frowned lightly and persuaded.

"Ouch, Brother Chen, you just don't believe in my skills, my skills in driving a boat, but even His Majesty has praised it, isn't this a compass? Can you still get lost? It's not really fishing, it's just going to have fun. Song Su argued unhappily, "It's all said that it's all about experiencing going to sea and letting someone else drive the boat, what's the matter?" ”

"Xiu Li, let him open it, his skills are okay." Song Yan also frowned when he saw that his younger brother was stubborn, but finally compromised.

"Then let a boatman get on board, you drive, he watchs." Chen Xiuli pondered for a while and retreated.

"I'll drive it, I'll drive it, and I want him to watch it, the master has only started to drive a warship at a few years old, and I still use him to watch, go down, go down, and the master will come by himself!" Song Su still didn't comply, pouting, and the boss was unhappy.

"Brother Xiuli, let him be, if there is something, I will naturally have an explanation for it." Song Yan didn't want to argue over such a trivial matter.

Song Yan is the son of Yi'an Houfu, since he said so, and the others have no opinions, Chen Xiuli naturally is not good to be a villain anymore, so he counted the number of people and let Song Su set off in the boat.

The boat was originally used for fishing, but for this food festival, it has been specially refitted, with the outside deck to enjoy the scenery, and the inside cabin has bed benches to rest.

Although Song Su praised Haikou a little, but the boat is indeed stable, the fishing boat is opened, the sea breeze blows the sails and hunts, and the sea breeze whistles from the ears, the feeling of sudden openness is naturally different from the cruise ship in the canal and lake in Beijing.

The girls thought it was fresh, but they didn't dare to stand on the deck, because the ship was moving fast, and they would feel dizzy when they stood up, so they could only sit in the cabin and lie down.

But through the window, you can also see the turquoise water stirring, and you can also see the big fish swimming from time to time, which is really surprising.

Only Hua Manxi is standing on the deck, she can not only stand, she can also go to the net.

In her previous life, she often went to sea to catch fish, and she also learned how to cast nets with those old fishermen, but it was a little heavy to catch, not only Chen Xiuli, but also Qin Baiting, Song Yan, and Shen Huai also came to help.

After the net was scooped up, there was a salty smell of seawater on the deck, and there were crabs crawling around, live prawns, and all kinds of fish—

"Wow, what kind of fish is this, such a long fish, I've never seen it, and what is this soft bug, this shelled, oops, this shelled thing still moves?" Qin Baiting was like a child, and said happily.

"This fish is a hairtail fish, the meat is delicious, the fat is rich, the taste is good, but there is a shortcoming, out of the water is dead, hurry up with the ice bucket in the rear cabin to calm it, this fish can be boiled, can be steamed, can be stewed, can be sweet and sour, can be fried, there are many ways to eat." Hua Manxi replied lightly, neither flattering nor flattering.

"What about this? This bug? Qin Baiting actually thought it was very interesting and asked again.

"This is a sea cucumber, there are more dried sea cucumbers in the general market, this sea cucumber is relatively large, the price is not low when dried, and there are many dried sea cucumber practices, general stewed soup, more nourishing, and green onion roast, braised and so on." Hua Manxi paused, and then pointed to a shelled creature that Qin Baiting had just said, "This is an oyster, which is a relatively cheap thing on our side, I don't know if you have it in the north?" This kind of general barbecue is the best, steamed, boiled porridge, and oyster roasted are also good. ”

Hua Manxi also introduced other seafood caught by Qin Baiting, such as squid, moray eel, abalone, etc., and even coral, seaweed, and kelp.

Not to mention Qin Baiting, even Shen Huai, Song Yan and a few others listened to it with relish, and their eyes were different when they looked at Hua Manxi.

"Xiuli, you've been here for a few years, why don't you know?" Qin Baiting listened to Hua Manxi's explanation, suddenly looked at his friend, and teased.

Among these people, he has the best relationship with Chen Xiuli, even if Chen Xiuli comes to Shishan County, the two of them often maintain correspondence.

"Like you, I'm going to sea for the first time." Chen Xiuli smiled slightly, and there was a hint of honor in his tone, "But I've eaten all these things."

"I haven't tasted this live seafood yet! If you have a good meal and return to Kyoto, it will be a topic of conversation. Qin Baiting said wistfully.
