Chapter 2 The golden-scaled red-tailed carp
The long river of time flows slowly unconsciously, and it has been ten years since the "Spring and Autumn" war, and the dynasty is peaceful with singing and dancing, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and everything seems to have become very beautiful.
Snow Night Dynasty, Liangzhou, Lankao County.
After only a few spring rains, the weeds on both sides of the road have pulled out green shoots, although the chill has not decreased slightly, but the city of Lanshao is already extraordinarily crowded.
Especially by the Luoshui River outside the city gate, it is bustling with many people fishing. Fishing in early spring has always been one of the most anticipated events in Lanshao City.
The water in Lankao County is sweet and the fish are plump, especially the carp in the Luoshui River outside the city of Lanshao.
In winter, carp are semi-dormant, and carp are difficult to catch and have little meat. As soon as spring arrives, carp are eager to hunt, and the taste of carp at this time is slowly worth tasting.
There are varieties of carp, such as red carp, yellow carp, and white carp, but the carp of Luoshui River is golden-scaled and red-tailed, with lovely shape, fat and tender, and pure meat taste, which is the best among carp. There is a poem "If it eats fish, it will be the carp of the river." "That's what I'm talking about is this Luoshui River carp.
Regardless of the size of the restaurant in Lanshao City, the signature dish is all this golden-scaled red-tailed carp. The Luoshui River is not big, but it is famous throughout the dynasty because of this golden-scaled red-tailed carp, and even the palace has this golden-scaled red-tailed carp.
Although there are many restaurants in Lanshaocheng, only one dares to open a restaurant by the Luoshui River. The moon building is seven stories high, standing on the top floor, the Luoshui River has an unobstructed view. Especially at dusk, when the glow shines on the Luoshui River, the scenery is even more dazzling.
While eating this delicious delicacy and enjoying the beautiful scenery of this world, isn't this what literati and rangers like to do the most?
Although it is not sunset at this moment, business is still booming in the Moon Building, and the gluttonous diners who have been holding back for a winter have long been eager to taste the golden-scaled red-tailed carp in spring.
The moon floor is not something that ordinary people can consume, the same braised golden scales and red tail, the restaurant in Lanshao City is only three taels of silver at most, but here, according to the difference in floors, the price is also upturned. Until the top floor, a braised golden-scaled red-tailed carp was worth thirty taels of silver.
It can be seen that the people sitting in the Moon Turning Building at this time are not ordinary people, especially the two tables of guests on the seventh floor.
In order to facilitate the literati and rangers, the four walls of the top floor were deliberately dismantled, so as to facilitate the diners to enjoy the beautiful scenery. At this time, the two tables of guests sat in the north and south, facing the Luoshui River in the south, and you could see the anglers fishing below when you lowered your head. To the north is facing the city of Blue Frog.
At the south table sat only a young handsome man, with a handsome face and a dashing posture, holding a wine glass in his left hand and drinking it all, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at the crowd of fishers below. On the young man's table was a long sword, with a beautiful body. In the Snowy Night Dynasty, in addition to military bows and crossbows and military swords, the management of civilian weapons was not very strict, and most young men liked to carry a long sword hanging from their waists.
There were two middle-aged men sitting on the north side, and they were obviously very frightened when they saw their expressions. Even when eating vegetables, his persistent hands trembled slightly, as if he was afraid?
And the faces of the two really don't look like good people, one has a hideous scar that runs through the whole face, which makes people look extraordinarily infiltrating, and the other person is delicate and delicate, but thin as wood, like a skeleton dressed in human skin.
For some reason, the two of them were so trembling when they ate the golden-scaled red tail, which was originally a delicacy.
This eerie atmosphere was not shattered until Scarface trembled and dropped the wine glass in his hand on the table.
"Xiangjiang twin ghosts, why are you so timid, is it possible to really see ghosts?"
It was the young man sitting in the south who spoke, and the young man held a piece of fish meat with chopsticks in his right hand, frowning, as if disturbed by the movement of Scarface.
Before the young man could speak, the two people on the opposite side stood up in horror and looked at the young man who was chewing slowly.
It turned out that the two were terrified by the young man.
"Chu Shuren, our brothers didn't do anything to be sorry for you, why do you want to ......" Scarface said tremblingly, and before he could finish speaking, the young man opposite laughed out loud.
"I said that you two are also famous figures in Jinan County, can you not be so naïve?" The young man laughed as if a soft wind was blowing, but it was not so easy to bear to blow on the faces of the Xiangjiang twin ghosts.
It was as if a lean man in human skin spoke, "Chu dead, we have always been well-watered and do not interfere with river water, so there is no need to do everything, right? Today we just met by chance, there is no need to face each other with swords, right?"
The sound was as hoarse as sandpaper grinding over the tabletop, and it was uncomfortable.
"Yes, yes, it's all fate, it's a good ......time to meet next time," the scar man said hurriedly.
Chu Shuren showed an expression of "Are you funny?", and sneered, "Who told you that we met by chance? Today, all of this was specially arranged by my Chu Shuren for the two of you, what do you think of this Luoshui River?"
"I heard that the reason why the carp in this Luoshui River is so fat and tender is because many people are buried at the bottom of the Luoshui River every year......
Chu Shuren said with a smile, picked up the wine glass with his left hand, raised his head and drank it all.
"In that case, I'll take a lesson...... lean man said hoarsely, his long knife unsheathed.
The man with the scar saw his companion pull out the knife, although he was still very scared, he still picked up the weapon on the table and faced the dead Chu on the opposite side.
Scarface's weapon is special, not an ordinary long knife, but a simple knife that can only be held with both hands.
"Well, how about I finish drinking this glass of wine before I start fighting?" Chu Shuren picked up the wine jug and poured wine towards the cup, not caring at all about the tense atmosphere at the moment.
The Xiangjiang twin ghosts on the opposite side didn't give Chu the dead a chance to finish drinking this cup of wine, although Scarface looked scared to death just now, but when he pulled out the Pu knife in his hand, the momentum of the whole person changed instantly.
With a loud shout, Scarface's right foot stomped the floor of the Moon Tower, and his whole body rushed towards the Chu dead, with a huge impact, the momentum was amazing, obviously Scarface wanted to kill the Chu dead man who was pouring himself on the other side.
After the lean man on the side pulled out the long knife in his hand, his body turned in the other direction and slashed down angrily at the Chu dead.
"Alas, it's really disobedient, are you so anxious to be reincarnated?" The last few words were like spring thunder on the ground, and the Xiangjiang twin ghosts felt that they couldn't seem to hear the sound in their ears.
Without waiting for the Xiangjiang Twin Ghosts to react, the Chu Dead had already floated up, and the long sword in his hand was unsheathed, and for a while, the entire top floor of the Moon Turning Building was filled with sword light and sword shadows.
The menacing Xiangjiang twin ghosts tried their best to block the sword of the Chu dead, but the Chu dead people were like two people, taking care of both sides.
After a while, Chu Shuren withdrew his long sword, and the long sword was as smooth as ever.
Putting the sword into the sheath, Chu Shuren returned to his position, picked up the unfinished glass of wine, and drank it all.
The Xiangjiang twin ghosts fell to the ground in despair, blood gurgling out from the wound on their necks.
"Shopkeeper, this golden scale and red tail is not as good as last year's taste......" Chu Shuren walked down the stairs with a smile and said to the shopkeeper of the Moon Tower.
"Hehe, the guest officer said that he laughed, the guest officer walked slowly, ......" The shopkeeper smiled and sent the deceased of Chu to the downstairs of the moon, looking at the figure that was gradually moving away, the shopkeeper smiled inexplicably.
"You two go up and clean the top floor. ”
"Muddy boy, every time you have to make a mess of me over the Moon Tower. ”
