Chapter 230: Jiang Ning
"Fuck, kill these bastards for me!" Liu Baichuan died unexpectedly in the hands of Liu Baiyu, and after the officers and soldiers were stunned, the bearded man suddenly shouted, and the sound was like thunder, pouring out all the suffocation and anger just now. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
And the rest of the officers and soldiers, who had been waiting for this moment for a long time, raised their firearms one by one, and one by one the projectiles vented out as if they didn't want money.
"Bang bang bang. "In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen water bandits had blood holes opened in their bodies. "Run, run. The bandits were frightened and rushed into the water one by one.
However, how could the officers and men let them go? one after another shuttle boats sailed over, threw large nets into the water, and caught these bandits one by one and stabbed them to death. Soon, the entire surface of the river became blood-red.
There are many boats in the vicinity, and the people on board are so frightened that their faces are shaky and their legs tremble when they see this scene like hell on earth.
It's so tragic, most people haven't even seen a killing, and suddenly seeing such a scene, the impact is too great.
Liu Baiyu quietly jumped into the water, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but as everyone knows, he has already become the focus of the officers and soldiers. Everyone else can run away, but you can't run away with him.
More than a dozen net shuttle boats surrounded him, and dozens of spears were stabbed from the ship at the same time, stabbing him directly into a hornet's nest. One of them also cut off his head, leaving him dead without a whole body.
And when the willow white fish died, they were thinking about a question, how could a good puddle of water be so slippery?
......
After the officers and soldiers exterminated the water bandits of the White Fish Gang, they only asked Fang Hong and the others a little about the situation, and then let everyone leave. Of course, between the lines of their words, you can still hear a hint of warning. Liu Baichuan died at the hands of the Whitefish Gang, and he died in an accident, it was not that the officers and soldiers did not do their best to save them, they didn't want the people on the boat to go out and talk nonsense.
For this point, the old and senior people were submissive and agreed. The death of Lord Yushi on his ship has already made him very frightened, how dare he offend the sailor's people again?
To put it mildly, even if they offend the officials on the ground, they can't offend the soldiers in the water. The county officials are not as good as the current management, they are all mixed on the water, and the other sailors have a hundred ways to kill them.
In the next ten days, Fang Hong and the others were stable all the way without encountering any problems. After all, the sailor used thunder to wipe out the Whitefish Gang, which was enough to keep the rest of the bandits stable for a while.
They came out of the Gan River, entered the Yangtze River, and tossed in the Yangtze River for eight full days before entering the boundary of Nanzhili.
When I arrived in the Nanzhili area, the accent of my speech and the way of life have changed a lot. Fang Hong had never been out of Changning County, and felt that everything outside was new and interesting.
They disembarked from Jiangning, a small city near Jinling, but it is also relative to Jinling, in fact, the prosperity of this city is much higher than that of Changning County.
On the north side of the city, there is a large wharf, and there are many large and small ships coming and going every day, and they can be connected into a series of dragons, which is a magnificent sight.
Fang Hong and the others got off the boat and entered Jiangning. The city of Jiangning is not built tall, after all, it relies on the Yangtze River to defend the city like in the north.
Outside the city gate, there are countless stalls, some selling vegetables, some selling livestock, and some selling some local food, people come and go, it is really lively.
The people around him were all communicating in official language, and Fang Hong needed to listen carefully in order to understand the general meaning. But he didn't find it bothersome at all, but thought it was funny.
The official dialect of the Ming Dynasty is actually the language of the Jianghuai region, and Fang Hong is in Jiangxi, and the local dialect used on weekdays.
"Honey lotus, honey lotus just out of the pot. Fang Hong walked to a vendor, a mat made of bamboo strips, with a few wooden stools set up underneath, and it became a stall. There is a large black cauldron burning on the side, and more than a dozen fatty and sweet lotus roots are boiling in the pot.
In their hometown, lotus root is eaten directly in a pot or sliced and fried. But here, glutinous rice is poured into each lotus root, compacted with chopsticks, and then simmered in a soup pot.
There are two keys to whether the honey lotus root is good or not, one is to see whether the glutinous rice is compacted. When the lotus root is cooked, the compacted glutinous rice swells and overflows through the lotus root holes. Bite into the mouth, soft and glutinous, fresh and sweet, delicious to cool off. The second key is to add brown sugar to the pot, which will color the lotus roots, showing a reddish-brown color, and will make the soup thick, like honey, to remove the lotus roots, and to pull out the slender threads.
"I want one. "Fang Hong has been on the boat for the past few days, and the most he eats is fish and dry food, and he feels that he has a fishy smell on his body.
"Okay. The stall owner skillfully picked up a bamboo copy, poked into the soup, and scooped up a large piece of lotus root. As soon as he put his head on the board, he flew with a knife, and soon cut the honey lotus into four large pieces.
This lotus root is only enjoyable when it is cut into large pieces and bitten. Fang Hong directly grabbed a piece of lotus root with his hand. Because of the brown sugar, even the glutinous rice in the lotus root hole was boiled red, and it had burst out at this time, sticky, and it looked very attractive.
Fang Hong didn't say a word, and took a big bite of the honey lotus. The glutinous rice fully absorbed the brown sugar juice, and as soon as he bit down, the juice ran down his chin and splashed on his body. He hurriedly put his head under the lotus root with one hand and squatted to the side, for fear of getting his clothes dirty again.
The lotus root is boiled crispy, but the inside is crunchy and full of sweet aroma. Glutinous rice is very sticky to the teeth, obviously new rice, and it is very comfortable to eat in the mouth. In one bite, there are both soft and glutinous, as well as crispy and sweet, and several flavors alternate, which is very enjoyable.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, do you want to come and order together?" Fang Hong exclaimed happily, and when he turned around, he found that there was still someone behind him, so he asked vaguely.
“...... No need, young master, you can eat. Shopkeeper Zhao pulled out a smile and waved his hand. It's not that he respects his identity, I'm sorry, the main thing is that he is about to arrive in Jinling City, which is already Chen Xianrong's territory. It can be regarded as a crisis, how can he be in the mood to eat.
Seeing that they didn't eat, Fang Hong was not polite, squatted next to the stall, and continued to feast. In the past, when he was by Fang Dayuan's side, he never dared to eat like this, but since his father was gone, how comfortable he was.
