Chapter 3 Whole Fish Feast

Half an hour later, Zhou Dongsheng rowed the boat into a small river bay.

This small river bay is about three zhang wide and more than ten zhang deep, and is flanked by mountains with dense shrubs and wild mangosteens.

This place is indeed a place where fish and shrimp gather, and when you are still at the mouth of the bay, you can see fish jumping out of the water from time to time.

There are also fish that stick their mouths out of the water, and their gills can't help opening and closing, as if they are breathing fresh air.

Seeing this, Li Fei nodded happily and said, "Brother Zhou, don't go any further, lest you scare the fish away and the boat retreat three feet back." ”

Zhou Dongsheng didn't know why, but he did it one by one.

After the fishing boat arrived at the right position, Li Fei reached into his arms, and with a movement of his mind, an earthen explosive had appeared in his hand.

Zhou Dongsheng and Zhou Zhiruo stepped forward, looked at the explosives in Li Fei's hand curiously, and asked cautiously, "Li Gongzi, what is this?" ”

Li Fei said: "This is a palm thunder, you squat, prepare the net, and prepare to catch fish." ”

Unaware of this, the father and daughter removed the net from the top of the canopy, and then squatted down in front of the cabin door.

Seeing this, Li Fei took out a lighter, lit the fuse, threw it at the river where the fish were jumping, and then squatted down.

"Puff"

The explosives crossed a parabola, flew over a distance of more than ten feet, and fell into the water.

The "floating" fish were frightened and immediately sank.

It's a pity that it's too late, except for the time spent in the air, the explosive fuses are only a few seconds left, how far can they swim?

"Knock...... Whoa......"

After a breath, the explosives exploded, and a column of water rose into the sky, and then scattered and splashed down the river, and the waves swung open, causing the fishing boat to rise and fall slightly.

The explosives exploded in the water, but the sound was not loud, but the father and daughter were still startled.

Because of the moment of the explosion, they clearly felt that the whole ship was shaken.

"What a powerful palm thunder."

Zhou Dongsheng muttered in a daze, Zhou Zhiruo's focus was obviously different, she shouted excitedly: "Daddy, there are a lot of fish, go catch fish!" ”

Li Fei heard Zhou Zhiruo speak for the first time, and his voice was delicate and pleasant, and at this time, he was even more crisp and beautiful because of joy.

Li Fei also smiled: "Brother Zhou, go fishing!" lest the fish sink in a moment. ”

Zhou Dongsheng came back to his senses, only to find that within a radius of a few zhang of the thunder explosion in his palm, there was a piece of fish belly with white flowers, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The propagation efficiency of sound in water is four or five times that of air, and the sound of explosions is even more deafening in water.

Most of the fish were shocked to death, and some of them were stunned and didn't die a little further away from the explosion point.

Zhou Dongsheng handed the net pocket to Zhou Zhiruo, picked up the oars, and rowed forward with a grin.

Zhou Zhiruo happily scooped up the white fish with a net pocket and poured them into the cabin.

"Wow, that's a big ...... Hey? Daddy, look, there's a big turtle! ”

Li Fei looked at Zhou Zhiruo, who was as happy as a lark with a smile and chirping, and was also in a very comfortable mood.

……

Li Fei's explosive exploded dozens of catties of fish, including crucian carp, herring carp, grass carp, and silver carp.

There is also an old turtle the size of a fan, about three catties.

That is, the ecological environment in ancient times was excellent, so that the density of fish was higher than that of later generations, so that there could be such a big harvest.

Otherwise, not to mention explosives, even if you bombard them with cannons, you may not be able to blow up many fish.

After catching the fish, Zhou Dongsheng rowed the boat back to the upstream river beach and docked, and transferred all the live fish to the stern.

There is a small warehouse with a lid and water inside, and live fish can be temporarily housed in it and will not die for a short time.

Then the father and daughter took the pots and pans off the boat, put the dead fish in the wooden basins, and brought them to the shore.

There was another ship docked here, and when he heard the movement of Zhou Dongsheng's father and daughter, the boatman got out of the cabin.

Seeing Zhou Dongsheng carrying a large pot of fish in a wooden basin, the middle-aged boatman exclaimed: "Good guy, Dongsheng, where did you catch so many fish?" ”

Zhou Dongsheng grinned and said, "I didn't beat it, it was this son." ”

Li Fei saw that the middle-aged boatman seemed to have a good relationship with Zhou Dongsheng, and greeted with a smile: "Today I invite Brother Zhou and Zhiruo to eat a whole fish feast, and Uncle might as well come together." ”

Seeing that Li Fei was arrogant, well-dressed, with a long sword hanging from his waist, he looked like a young man in the rivers and lakes, and the middle-aged boatman was still a little restrained, "This ...... Not quite right, right? ”

Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, don't be polite, Li Gongzi is a good talker, he invites you to eat fish, you can come." ”

Uncle Wang smiled when he heard this, and said, "Okay, then I'll dip it into the light, I still have some soju, I'll get it." ”

There are more than ten catties of dead fish, enough for them to have a full meal, Uncle Wang takes care of the Zhou family's father and daughter on weekdays, and they are also happy to let Uncle Wang open meat.

Zhou Dongsheng took Zhou Zhiruo to the woods on the shore to pick up dry firewood, Li Fei took out the jungle saber to clean up the fish, and Uncle Wang went to find some stones and set up a simple stove.

When the father and daughter came back with dry firewood, Li Fei had already cleaned up all the fish.

Some of the fish were grilled on wooden sticks, a larger grass carp was used for steaming, and the rest of the soup was all operated by Li Fei himself, and the father and daughter and Uncle Wang were only responsible for burning the fire.

Li Fei skillfully turned the grilled fish, the aroma spread quickly, and looked at Zhou Zhiruo's appearance of secretly swallowing saliva, and couldn't help but smile.

After a short time, the whole fish feast was completed, and the delicious aroma was filled with all around.

The steamed grass carp does not need any condiments, and it is extremely delicious when drizzled with soy sauce, and too many condiments will affect the umami of the fish itself.

Uncle Wang raised the big wine gourd in his hand, and smiled at Li Fei: "Gongzi Li, we are all poor people, we can't afford any good wine, I don't know if Gongzi is used to drinking this bad wine?" ”

Li Fei said with a smile: "What Uncle Wang said, drinking is the mood, and it has nothing to do with the wine itself. ”

"If you are in a good mood, the bad wine is also a jade liquid, and if you are in a bad mood, the entrance of the imperial wine is no different from white water."

When Uncle Wang heard this, he gave a thumbs up and praised: "That's a good thing, it's still Li Gongzi's high realm, hehe." ”

Zhou Dongsheng took a few empty bowls and put them in front of the three of them, and Uncle Wang poured three bowls full of them.

It wasn't a good wine, but it had a strong flavor.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the distillation method was already very mature, and the degree of this wine was not low.

Li Fei saw that the three adults didn't move, and Zhou Zhiruo just watched from the sidelines, not taking the lead, and secretly praised her for being sensible.

He took an empty bowl, took half a bowl of fish soup, and fished a fish into the bowl and put it in front of Zhou Zhiruo.

Then he picked up a grilled fish and handed it to her, and said warmly, "Eat it!" Be careful not to get caught in the bones. ”

Zhou Zhiruo's heart warmed, and she smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Brother Li." ”

Zhou Dongsheng hurriedly said: "You girl doesn't know anything, Gongzi Li calls me Brother Zhou, you should call Uncle Li." ”

Li Fei waved his hand again and again: "But don't, am I that old?" Our sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, meet in Pingshui, and each has its own opinion. ”

"Now is the prime of youth, but when you are young and frivolous, you don't want to be an uncle so early."

"Hahahaha......"

Zhou Dongsheng and Uncle Wang laughed in unison, this Li Gongzi is really a wonderful person.

Zhou Zhiruo saw that her father and Grandpa Wang were smiling so happily, and she didn't feel embarrassed, showing a beautiful smile.
