197 And they all died
"Hey, don't go!" Ah Cha entangled: "It was a misunderstanding just now, three taels of silver, I went to sea." ”
Seeing that Gu Qing was unmoved, he continued: "My fishing skills are the best in our village. Even if you look for Ahsan, the last person to go to sea is still me, you might as well come to me directly! ”
"I'll give you three taels of silver, you give me three small fish, who should I cry to?" Gu Qing didn't believe a word of what came out of this man's mouth.
"I'll give you three big fish!" Ah Cha half leaned on the stone bench, crossed his legs, his hands on the ground, his slender body pulled back, and the weight of the whole person fell on his hands.
The biceps of both arms were immediately revealed, and the long, messy hair swept casually to the ground.
Ah Cha has thick eyebrows and big eyes. There were three points of cunning, four points of urgency, and one point of worry in his eyes.
A thin face, with a slightly sexy thin lip and a weed in her mouth.
The Adam's apple on the slender neck is high and raised. And under the tattered fishnet jacket, a large abdominal muscle was exposed.
This figure is indeed a good swimmer!
"Deal, however, I will only pay when I see the goods!"
Seeing that Gu Qing agreed, Ah Cha smiled and spit out the weeds in her mouth, stood up and said, "It's easy to say!" You sit down first, and I'll prepare the equipment for going to sea. ”
The small yellow rice in the crockpot had been boiled, and the soup had thickened.
More than a dozen elderly people and children in the neighborhood came over with half a tile and waited in line on the side.
Ahsan removed the crockpots from the campfire and scooped a small spoonful of the tiles that he had given to each person with a homemade wooden spoon.
The old man and child who received the porridge walked to the other side and sat down, they had no chopsticks, they could only blow it cold and lick the thick porridge on the tiles like animals.
The crockpot is not big, and there is not much porridge.
More than a dozen old people and children just finished dividing half a spoonful each.
Putting the empty crockpot back on the campfire, Ahsan took half a handful of small yellow rice, put a handful of rice bran into it, and continued to stir it with her wooden spoon.
Is this boiled to feed the pigs?
But when I looked around, I didn't find a pigsty.
"What do you boil rice bran for? Do you make bait? "Gu Qing doesn't know how to fish, and he doesn't know anything about bait.
She didn't know if fish ate rice bran or not, so she asked.
"We haven't eaten yet!" Ahsan smiled, sat down on the stone and quietly shrunk back his bare feet without shoes.
Gu Qing only felt uncomfortable in her heart.
She took out the money bag and threw it to Xia Zhu.
"Xia Zhu, you go to the town to buy two big iron pots, bowls and chopsticks, rice, flour, oil, meat and the like, you go on horseback, go back quickly!"
It takes half an hour to get to town here, and it only takes a stick of incense to ride a horse.
Xia Zhu couldn't stand it for a long time, and when he heard Gu Qing's words, he immediately rode the black wind towards the town.
Ahsan bit her lip, meat, she hadn't tasted it in a long time.
When the two nobles ate later, she had to keep the people away.
lest they smell the smell of meat, and go up uncontrollably, and go up and rob the nobles of their food.
"Ahsan, I'll help you get through...... Congee, would you like to ask the young people in the village to help me build two stoves? ”
Just now, when Gu Qing asked Xia Zhu to buy two big iron pots, she heard them all.
At the moment, Gu Qing is their only customer, Gu Qing opened her mouth, where did she disagree.
After calling a few young people, they began to pick up stones and build a stove.
More than a dozen people came back to the beach one after another, and these dozen or so people were all middle-aged people in their thirties and forties, both men and women.
They originally walked towards the bonfire on Gu Qing's side, but after seeing Gu Qing, they all dispersed one by one and went to the woods next to them.
It wasn't long before they came out again with a bunch of dead branches in their hands.
Several of the middle-aged men walked up to Ah Sang and pointed at Gu Qing, not knowing what to say.
It was too far away, Gu Qing couldn't hear clearly, and only saw those few people finish speaking, and then burrow into the woods on the side.
The temperature here is much warmer than that in Nanzhou, and Gu Qing, who has been sitting by the bonfire and boiling porridge, has already sweated a thin layer at this time.
The stove over there had just been built, and Xia Zhu had already returned with the delivery of Xiao Er.
Without waiting for Xia Zhu to speak, Ah Sang took the initiative to bring someone over to help unload the things on the carriage.
Two large pots were placed on the stove, and Xia Zhu skillfully washed the pot and boiled the pot.
The newly bought wooden basin contained half a fan of pork and was set aside.
There is also a boning knife and a kitchen knife on the pork.
In another wooden basin, there are a lot of cooking seasonings, and there are three large bags of white rice and three large bags of white noodles on the ground.
Ah Sang came over and asked, "The nobleman bought so many things, is he going to live permanently?" The climate is hot here, so much pork must be salted quickly, otherwise it will stink tomorrow! ”
Gu Qing shook his head, "Everything is bought for you, pots and pans, and food are all for you!" ”
What? Ahsan opened his mouth and didn't say a word for a long time.
In the past, there were many merchants who bought pearls back and forth, and there were all kinds of people, but the first time they bought food for them, there were still so many, and Gu Qing was the first.
"Don't be stunned, go cook. Look at those children one by one, if you don't hurry up, they will all gnaw raw. ”
At this time, the middle-aged people who went to the forest first also came back, and one of them walked towards Gu Qing with a big coconut in his hand.
"Thank you for giving us money to buy food. This coconut is given to you, the nobles taste it, the water in it is sweet, this is only available in our Qingzhou. ”
Gu Qing took the coconut and noticed the new wound on the man's body at a glance.
The wound was slender and should have been injured by thorns on the way to pick coconuts, and there were bright red blood stains on the wound.
"Thank you!"
Ah Sang came over with a firewood knife: "I'll help you open it." ”
"Is everyone in your village here?" Gu Qing took a sip of the coconut in his hand, and the sweet coconut water seemed to be even better than the one in the previous life.
"There are still more than a dozen people who have not returned, they have taken a boat to a further place, and it is estimated that they will return tomorrow."
"There aren't many people in your village." Gu Qing roughly calculated, the number of people in this village is less than a hundred.
Ahsan glanced up at the sea and pursed his lips. It looks a little bleak: "They are all dead, fishing, mussel picking"
Ahsan apparently didn't want to continue the conversation, so he added some firewood to the campfire and left.
The sky gradually darkened, and the sea breeze hit, bringing a bit of coolness, Gu Qing moved to the campfire.
On the stove, under the leadership of Xia Zhu, the first pot of steaming minced meat buns came out of the pot.
The children drooled one by one, staring at the big meat buns in the pot, but their bodies lined up obediently.
Ah Sang brought Gu Qing the first bun out of the cage, and Xia Zhu was helping to pack the bun for everyone.
Gu Qing took a bite, and the taste was exactly the same as Zhu Han's cooking.
The buns in the pot are very large, and the children are carefully holding them with banana leaves one by one, eating in small bites, and many children are scalded by the steamed buns just out of the pot.
After distributing the buns here, the villagers over there have already wrapped the next pot of buns, Xia Zhu finished his work and walked over eating the buns: "County Lord, how does it taste?" Before leaving, the uncle specially taught us to do it, and the uncle also said, I learned the best. ”
Gu Qing smiled: "Well, he's right, you learned the best!" ”
