Chapter 349: This Statement Is Wrong (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Everyone!) )
No, this is fifty taels, I want all these fish. But we have other things to do, and we might want you to send someone to our home, okay? Shen Anan really did what he said, and took out the silver unequivocally after speaking.
Seeing a small white hand holding a money bag and handing it to him, Brother Chu felt as if he was in a dream.
It's been a long time since I've seen more than ten taels of silver, and Shen An'an's silver is definitely more than ten taels of silver ingots.
With this money, he may be able to go and look into the eyes of the old lady and make new clothes for the child.
Although Brother Chu wanted to take it over, he still had some doubts in his heart, and he always felt that these two people didn't look like they were here to buy fish. He couldn't help but look at Shen An'an and asked, "You didn't come to buy fish sincerely, otherwise why didn't you bring something to buy fish?" ”
Shen Anan didn't expect that this Brother Chu was still very observant, and said in his heart, since he had asked about this, it was better to talk to him.
She couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Brother Chu, and said with a smile: "Brother Chu is really observant, but the fish we want to buy may be more special." Of course, you don't have to worry, we want these fish of yours too. ”
Brother Chu looked at Shen An'an noncommittally and said, "You want that kind of fish, I'll see if I can help you get it." ”
Shen Anan didn't expect Brother Chu to be so refreshing, and he was immediately very happy, and hurriedly took out the picture of the fish that he had prepared a long time ago and showed it to Brother Chu.
In order to make people see more clearly, Shen An'an restored the original appearance of the fish when he painted, so the fish jumped on the paper and looked very realistic.
"It's this fish." Unexpectedly, after Brother Chu saw this picture, the whole person pondered, and his face was a little unpleasant.
It's just weird, he just said a lot of words to the front.
"Brother Chu knows this fish, right, can you help me find it?" Shen An'an saw that Brother Chu's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. I prayed in my heart that there would be no more moths.
"Acquaintance." After Brother Chu finished speaking, he actually stood up, looked far into the distance, and seemed to be caught in some kind of painful memory. Then he said again, "But I can't help you, I'm sorry." ”
After saying that, he strode forward, and seeing that he could walk, it was a little desolate, and even the way he walked was wrong.
Looking at his back and the look on his face, Shen An'an and Shen Anting knew that he might have a hard time, but they finally found someone who knew about it, how could they give up easily. The two looked at each other the same way, and chased after each other directly.
finally caught up with Brother Chu, and Shen Anan directly pulled Brother Chu's arm and didn't let him go.
"Why, Brother Chu, can you tell us why? You know, it took a lot of effort to find this fish? ”
However, Brother Chu misunderstood, thinking that they were pursuing high profits. Of course, this kind of fish is hard to find, someone once spent a hundred taels to buy a fish like this, and he also knew that this kind of fish is not only expensive, but also very delicious, the taste of this fish is comparable to ginseng bear bile, or even worse, so many people rush to it.
There was a time when many people in their fishing village soaked in the river every day to catch this kind of fish. And that time he was seriously ill, and his brother treated himself in order to catch such a fish. After going out, he never came back, his mother was blind from crying because she missed her brother, and her sister-in-law was widowed at a young age.
He is now shouldering the burden of the whole family's life alone, and his life is very hard.
All of this is caused by this fish, and if no one had paid a high price for this fish in the first place, my brother would not have died young.
So Brother Chu hated this fish, and once swore that he would never catch this kind of fish in his life. Even if he knows who is going to catch this kind of fish, he will fight with others.
It can be said that he was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of the well rope for ten years.
"Go ahead, if you let the rest of the village know that you want to catch this fish, they will drive you away." Brother Chu said to them. Because after someone secretly caught this fish and ate it last month, the person died inexplicably, so this kind of fish has become taboo in their village, saying that it is sent by the river god, and whoever touches it is unlucky.
"Brother Chu, our brother and sister have worked hard to finally find this fish, can you tell me what the name of this fish is and where to find it, we are all grateful to you."
Brother Chu suddenly looked at Shen Anan like an idiot and said, "You don't know what kind of fish it is, why are you looking for it, won't you look for this fish because you want to get rich?" Apparently he thought Shen Anan was lying.
"No, of course not. We also came to look for it for some reason, but it is definitely not a bad thing, so please rest assured about this, and please ask Brother Chu for some advice. ”
It's a pity that Brother Chu didn't believe them at all, and directly refused: "I may have disappointed you, go back, it's dangerous here, and it's going to rain soon." If you don't leave, you won't have a place to stay at night. ”
"Can you tell me the name of the fish? You won't be stingy with this and don't want to tell me. ”
This time, Brother Chu didn't fail to tell him, and said to her: "This fish is called puffer fish!" In our part of the waters, it did happen. But because this fish is poisonous, after eating it, it will die. So the government has banned people from fishing. But because the fish is so delicious, people often offer high prices, so some outlaws will still catch it. ”
Puffer fish? Are you sure it's really a puffer fish? Shen Anan took Brother Chu's hand and tightened unconsciously. Brother Chu looked directly at her hand and asked, "Can you let me go first?" ”
Only then did Shen Anan realize that his behavior was inappropriate, and quickly let go. "I'm sorry, I'm so excited, so ......"
Shen An'an simply didn't explain when he got to the back, and then happily pulled Shen Anting's arm and said, "Brother, the young master is saved." ”
"Why do you say that?"
"Because puffer fish is poisonous, the meat of puffer fish is a delicacy in the world, but it must be reversed. The internal organs of puffer fish, especially the liver, are highly poisonous. After eating, it will be as little as a while, or as many as a few hours, if there is no detoxification, it will definitely kill directly. ”
Brother Chu listened to Shen An'an's theory, and suddenly his mouth suddenly opened, and the footsteps that were originally about to leave also stopped.
"I didn't expect that you have some opinions at a young age, but what puzzles me is that since you can talk about the Tao, why don't you know this puffer fish."
"Because I haven't seen puffer fish with my own eyes, but my master has told me about some of the medicinal and edible values of puffer fish. This puffer fish can be described as a mixture of angels and demons, which makes people love and hate at the same time. There were even people who wrote this poem to praise the deliciousness of puffer fish, but I didn't expect that there would be such a delicious taste in this winter. ”
"An An, where can you hear others sing this poem, come and listen." Shen Anting also thought that his sister's opinion came from Song Ao or the shopkeeper Tong, after all, these two are big foodies, and they are both well-informed.
However, Shen Anting forgot a detail, if Shen An'an's understanding came from, Song Ao and the shopkeeper Tong, why didn't she go directly to them, but came to the riverside to find others.
This will make them beg grandpa and sue grandma, not that there is no way to ask for help.
"Chunzhou sprouts, spring shore flying flowers. When the puffer fish is, it is more expensive than shrimp. Shen An'an remembered this poem, Mei Yaochen's friend Fan Zhongyan stayed away from this thing, but most people remember the first four sentences, which is to praise the deliciousness of puffer fish. But I don't know that this fish "is also strange in its appearance, and its poison is also moo." The angry belly is like a pig, and the angry eyes are like a frog. After speaking, she explained: "It is said that spring is the best time to eat pufferfish, puffer fish eat catkins and fat, and like to swim upstream in groups, compared with fish and shrimp, it is more precious." ”
Unexpectedly, after listening to Shen An'an's poem praising the pufferfish, Brother Chu said: "It's all playthings, this Jiangnan person really doesn't know the danger of this puffer fish." They only saw the deliciousness and deliciousness of the fish, but they forgot that they had to sacrifice their lives at any time in order to eat them. ”
Shen Anan disagreed with Brother Chu's opinion, and hurriedly said: "Brother Chu's words are wrong. Puffer fish is poisonous, but it is delicious when the entrails are removed, the skin is peeled, and the reeds are used to accompany it. As long as we grasp this law, we don't need to talk about fish discoloration. ”
"Say no more, let's go, go now." Unexpectedly, Brother Chu actually yelled at them.
Shen Anting hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him. "Brother Chu, please don't be angry, my sister is also because she is eager to save people, so."
"Brother!" Before Shen Anting finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen An'an.
"Sister, let's stop hiding it, if we delay for one more day, Li Gongzi will be in danger for one more day." Shen Anan listened to her brother's words and immediately stopped talking, but she saw that Brother Chu was very taboo about this puffer fish, and she didn't know if he would make an exception.
After speaking, Shen Anting turned to Brother Chu, "Brother Chu, let's not hide it, we just want to find the puffer fish now and prove the innocence of our friend, as long as it can be confirmed that the person died because he ate the puffer fish, not because of my friend." ”
"What does this have to do with me?" After Brother Chu finished speaking, he walked towards the river beach, and many people saw him walking over, and their mouths suddenly roared.
"Brother Chu, Brother Chu."
"It's time to divide the nets."
There was no way, Shen Anan could only resort to one last resort.
"Guys, I want to buy all the fish you have here, who is in charge?" I saw that she suddenly raised her voice and shouted loudly.
Hearing that Shen An'an was going to buy fish, the fishermen's eyes were as wide as a hundred-watt light bulb.
"Brother Chu, someone bought our fish?"
Then for the elation of others, Brother Chu was not happy. Because he couldn't meet their other request, if Brother Chu agreed to sell them fish, he would definitely relent, and then agree to their request.
