Chapter 170: Eating Fish
Ocean Inn.
As its name suggests, this inn is dedicated to those who come to the sea; It is said that it is going to the ocean, but in fact, there is no ocean travel from the north to the government, and at most it can only be in the near sea. First of all, you have to have a longship that can go to the sea, but the most important thing is to have money, and there are many officials up and down the government who need to take care of it.
Once it is found by the government that he has gone to the open sea without doing anything, then he will be punished with the most serious punishment.
The son of the shopkeeper of this inn was once beheaded by the government because of this incident; Fortunately, the shopkeeper had some money in his hand, and he counted it up and down, and his family was spared except for his son.
After that, he opened the inn here. The scale of the inn is quite large, and there are many courtyards around the inn that are the property of the shopkeeper, of course, if someone is willing to spend money, these courtyards can also be rented.
Yang Ming and the others had enough money, so they contracted a courtyard alone.
"Put the fish here." Opening the gate of the small courtyard, Yang Ming commanded the ten Xiao Si behind him.
He found these Xiao Si from near the fish market, and these people were originally specially unloaded at the dock, and they were all three thick. Even if they usually unload goods, they are happy to meet someone who pays them to do coolies, after all, who will have trouble with money.
And Yang Ming and the others are wearing expensive clothes, so naturally they won't do these coolies, so this kind of work is naturally handed over to professional people to do.
"This is your reward, take it and divide it." Yang Ming took out a string of copper coins and handed them to these big men.
The man who was the largest of them took the money and bent down to thank Yang Ming, "Thank you, thank you, my lord." After speaking, he hurriedly withdrew from the courtyard with people, and when he left, he did not forget to close the door of the courtyard.
"Lei Wuji, go inside and get some tables and chairs out." Yang Ming commanded.
"Okay." In response, Lei Wuji hurriedly ran into the back room.
Then Yang Ming stretched out his right hand and pulled it hard, and threw a whole swordfish onto the stone table in the courtyard.
"This—" Pearl was shocked, she had never seen anyone who could fetch something through the air, let alone a large fish weighing more than a load. I'm afraid that even the most powerful porter would never be able to carry it without two or three people.
Looking at Pearl's surprised expression, Twilight Yumo smiled and explained, "Pearl Girl, when a person's martial arts are strong enough to a certain extent, they can do this."
"Martial arts?" Pearl muttered to herself, obviously she didn't know about the things on the rivers and lakes, let alone the division of the martial arts realm on the rivers and lakes.
Yang Ming ignored her, and instead gently ran his fingers over the swordfish's skin, while his fingers kept testing the extent of the fish's rotting. But soon, a smile appeared on Yang Ming's face:
"This guy actually emptied the belly of the fish in advance, and it was preserved with ice, or is his boat draught deep enough?"
"Yang Ming, what's the problem?" Hearing Yang Ming muttering to himself, Twilight Yumo asked curiously.
Yang Ming shook his head: "It's nothing, let you prepare soy sauce and vinegar... Are you ready?"
"Tang Lian has already gone to buy it." Twilight Rain Mo said.
Yang Ming nodded, and then pulled out the Moli knife on his waist.
"What are you doing with your sword?" Twilight Yumo looked surprised, and at the same time, her figure also took a few steps back.
Yang Ming pointed to the swordfish on the stone table: "Such a big fish, can you handle it with a kitchen knife?"
Pearl also echoed: "Ordinary kitchen knives, I'm afraid that the knife will get stuck in it if it is cut halfway, and such a big fish, its bones will definitely be very hard, except for the long knife in the hands of Big Brother, ordinary knives can't be chopped at all."
"Brother Luo, why don't I help you, although I haven't dealt with such a big fish, but I haven't dealt with other fish, I have some experience."
"It's fine." Yang Ming nodded and agreed, "You go and get a kitchen knife, wait and follow my instructions, you will cut the cut meat into slices."
。」
"Okay." With that, Pearl picked up the kitchen knife she had prepared in advance and walked over.
Yang Ming patted the fish's body, and then focused his gaze on its sword kiss:
"Your sword snout is said to be extremely sharp, so let me see how powerful it is."
With a "click", the knife fell in his hand, and Yang Ming cut off the entire sword kiss of the swordfish.
Then he put the entire sword kiss on his fingertips, Yang Ming lightly clicked, and the sword kiss aimed at a tree in the courtyard and instantly burst out.
"Yang Ming, this fish horn is so strong!" Looking at the tree that had been pierced by the sword kiss, Twilight Yumo exclaimed. How can it not be surprising that this tree is as thick as at least three people around it, and it has been directly pierced.
"The speed at which I just threw it is about the same as the speed of this fish swimming in the water." As soon as Yang Ming pulled it, the sword kiss that fell on the courtyard wall was dragged back by him.
"This—" Twilight Rain was startled.
Yang Ming casually threw it to Tang Lian: "This sword kiss will be given to you, it is stronger than those bone nails of yours; If there is another fish, you will fetch it yourself."
Tang Lian saw that this sword kiss was powerful, although his bone-penetrating nail was very penetrating, but no matter how strong he was, he couldn't guarantee that he would definitely shoot through this big tree.
He took the sword kiss with both hands, tucked it around his waist, and then took out his knife and went to cut off the swordfish's sword kiss.
Xiao Se heard the meaning of Yang Ming's words, he leaned in front of Yang Ming and whispered, "According to you, this fish can easily pierce the bottom of the boat, so how did that old man catch it?"
"You'll find out at night." With a whisper back, Yang Ming sent the pearl to hold down the fish. He first cut off the tail with a single knife, and then cut off the whole head.
Finally, along the position of the fish loin, cut it with a knife, and cut a large piece of fish meat whole.
......
Looking at the swordfish that had been broken down into pieces of meat, Yang Ming took several catties of fish meat from it and put it in the pearl's basket: "After you go back, you cut it along the lines on the fish, and then dip it in soy sauce or vinegar... Just eat it raw. Don't cook it, or the meat will be too old."
Pearl nodded, as soon as he spoke, Yang Ming had already cut off a piece of meat, dipped it in soy sauce, and then ate it in one bite.
"It's getting late, Pearl Girl, go back early, and we'll see you early tomorrow morning." Lei Wuji was afraid that Pearl's family would be worried, so he hurriedly reminded him.
"Can you give me that fish head—" Pearl said with a slight bow, a little embarrassed, "My brother likes to eat fish heads."
Yang Ming chuckled, then picked up the fish head and put it in her basket: "Since you like it, take it."
The head of the fish was close to ten catties, and when it was first put into the basket, the pearl was almost caught.
She smiled shyly at Lei Wuji, "Okay, we'll see you tomorrow." With that, he ran out of the courtyard quickly.
"Lei Wuji, Lei Wuji." Yang Ming laughed twice, "I see that other girls seem to be a little interesting to you, don't you mean it?"
"Ahh
Looking at Lei Wuji's appearance, everyone laughed out loud again.
"Okay, when it gets dark, Lei Wuji, you still have to go to the beach to collect octopus." Yang Ming said.
"Brother Ming." Lei Wuji was a little puzzled: "Why don't you want the fisherman to give us such a big cuttlefish."
"That's it." Yang Ming explained, "The bellies of these two fish were emptied by the fisherman in advance.
Although Yang Ming said that the donkey's head was not in the horse's mouth, Xiao Se remembered what Yang Ming had said earlier, and he quickly reacted: "You mean, the cuttlefish was taken out of the fisherman's belly?"
"Who knows." Yang Ming shrugged his shoulders, "Come and eat the fish, it won't be fresh tomorrow."
Yang Ming quickly cut a large piece of fish meat, and everyone quickly picked up chopsticks and ate it.
