Chapter 211: Golden Carp
Goldfin carp is a special product of Chaobai River in the area of Niulan Mountain, golden scales, golden wings, golden cancan, once sent to the palace tribute.
The chicken head mushroom is produced in the north of Niulan Mountain, the wetland of Niuhe River, where the reeds are thick, the lotus root is in pieces, the mushroom can be seen everywhere, and the chicken head thorn is difficult to pick.
Sesame baked cakes are available everywhere, but the baked cakes in Niulanshan are absolutely unique, and the entrance is fragrant and crispy. The small shop is located at the intersection of the street, the door is not big, but the reputation is very loud, and the supply exceeds the demand.
Xu Deyong took Lin Chao to the bank of the Chaobai River and got on a small wooden boat.
Lin Chao observed and found the location of the net, and the two cooperated to lay the net.
The wide river surface is sparkling in the sun, the reeds on both sides are rows, and the fields are distributed, and the scenery is quite good.
In the distance, there was a shallow beach, a figure swaying, and from time to time someone jumped down from a tree that fell crookedly in the river, and the sound of laughter and play was faintly heard.
It's all teenagers who aren't very old.
Even if the adults don't let them go down to the river when no one takes them, but the adults still have to work, how can they stop them, they are called by the little friends and run away, and some come three or five times a day.
Don't be too happy to swim in the river in the summer, catch fish and dig crabs in the ditch.
Lin Chao rowed a small boat close and shouted: "A group of little rabbit cubs, you can only be by the river, dare to swim inside to see that I don't break your legs." ”
"Uncle Lin Chao."
"Okay, Uncle Lin Chao."
There was a bold saying: "Uncle Lin Chao, can I get on your boat to play?" ”
"Uncle Lin Chao, have you caught the golden carp?"
"Uncle Lin Chao, can you take me to release the gun?"
"Uncle Lin Chao, don't tell my mother ...... see me when you go back."
……
A group of boys, some on the shore, some in the water, gossiping.
A few boys on the shore, all bare-assed, thin, with a somewhat tanned body, and various teapot spouts were exposed unscrupulously.
This Lin Chao's little fan brother is obviously much more than Xu Deyong, and his status is like Xu Deyong in the courtyard.
Lin Chao waved his hand and said: "Roll the calves for me, play for a while and get out of here, if you want to play, wait for the adults to finish work in the evening, and let the adults bring them here." ”
At this time, in the summer, near the river pond, it is convenient to take a bath, and every evening when the work is finished, the family will be dragged in groups.
Coming and going, children learn to swim from an early age.
"Got it."
Some agreed, while others disagreed.
Xu Deyong looked at this scene with a smile, and thought that he could take Xu Huizhen and Xiao Li'er to the Beihai for boating and swimming another day.
Where you swim in the North Sea, the ticket that someone manages seems to be five cents, and where you don't manage it, no one cares about it.
The two sailed away in a small boat.
Xu Deyong faintly heard the teenagers' conversation.
Someone sneered: "Hey, Tiedan, why did you grow hair, and it's a little out-of-the-eye, it's so ugly, haha......." ”
The young man on the side hurriedly cleared up and said, "I don't." ”
"Neither do I."
……
Tie Dan blushed and said: "Don't you see, there are all adults, which means that I have grown up, what do you know." ”
That being said, the boy was still a little uncomfortable.
Some teenagers are experiencing the troubles of growing up.
Some adults are feeling the worry of getting smaller.
There are always adults who say, "What's so annoying about you at this age, it's nothing at all, and you'll understand it when you grow up." ”
But every age has its own pain and pressure, and there is never a high or low one.
……
Xu Deyong and Lin Chao walked around a few times, knocking on the hull of the boat to startle the fish, and moving the possible fish to the torso where the net was placed.
In the evening, Xu Hui took his son Xiaohuzi to the river and shouted at the two people on the river.
The two approached the boat, and Xu Hui gently patted Xiaohuzi's head and said, "What are you doing in a daze, call someone." ”
Xiaohuzi blinked his eyes and pouted slightly: "Little uncle, Uncle Lin Chao." ”
Xu Deyong and the two responded with a smile.
Xu Hui immediately said: "Close the Internet café early today and have a drink together in the evening." ”
Lin Chao smiled and said, "Cheng, I'll see what good goods are available later, otherwise I'll be embarrassed to go." ”
Xu Hui smiled and waved his hand: "you, give me this set back, do I eat less of what you catch!" ”
Lin Chao just smiled.
Xiaohuzi said at this time: "Uncle Lin Chao, I also want to take a boat to catch fish." ”
Xu Hui said: "You sit a fart, you don't want to take a bath." ”
"I want both." Xiaohuzi said truthfully.
Xu Hui said: "Okay, you guys will collect the Internet, I'll take this kid to wash, and I'll go back later." ”
The two sides separated, and Xu Deyong and Lin Chao began to close the net.
The harvest was not good at first, with a few crucian carp scattered in the mix.
Lin Chao said: "The float in front has shifted its position, and there should be a harvest." ”
Sure enough, he felt a pull when he closed the net.
"Whoa."
Continuing to close the net, a golden light came out of the water.
Xu Deyong's eyes lit up and said, "This is the golden carp." ”
Lin Chao also smiled and said, "Yes, I have the face to drink tonight." ”
If there is one, there will be a second, and finally three golden carp will be harvested, that is, the carp with some yellowish scales, which does not look good in the water after coming out of the water.
After packing up all the catches, the two went back to Lin Chao's house to put down their things.
When Xu Deyong saw Lin Chao's child, he gave a few pieces of halva, the two children looked at Lin Chao, and after Lin Chao nodded, the two took it happily, shouting "Thank you, uncle".
After that, Lin Chao took two golden carp and Xu Deyong out of the house.
Xu Deyong said: "Brother Lin Chao, one is enough." ”
Lin Chao said: "That one is raised in a pot, you can take it with you, and let Huizhen taste it too." ”
Xu Deyong smiled and said, "It's so embarrassing." ”
"You're welcome, brother." Lin Chaodao.
Xu Deyong didn't make two sentences more hypocritical, otherwise it would be boring to turn over and over.
The two came to Xu Hui's house, and Lin Chao killed and washed the fish cleanly, and then got out of the pot.
Little Goose and Little Tiger are playing with another golden carp.
Xu Deyong dispersed the smoke, and the three of them sat in the courtyard swallowing clouds and spitting fog on Kan Mountain.
While eating, Xu Deyong pretended to take out two bottles of Xifeng wine from the box under the board car and said, "Come, how about trying this today?" ”
"Phew." Xu Hui said with a smile: "This wine is good, I've tasted it a few times, but it's much more expensive than our small burn, doesn't this make you break the bank, haha." ”
said in his mouth, but took it unceremoniously in his hand.
Xu Deyong likes this uncle's temper very much, he is good enough and not pretentious.
Seeing this, Li Xiufang on the side rolled her eyes slightly at her masters.
Xu Hui opened the wine directly, poured a glass and said: "Well, colorless, bright and transparent, mellow and fragrant, clear but not light, strong but not bright, good wine." ”
As he spoke, he poured it on Xu Deyong and Lin Chao.
The three of them clinked glasses and took a sip, and Xu Hui said: "It integrates the advantages of fragrance and strong fragrance, which is sweet and refreshing, harmonious flavors, and long tail." ”
Lin Chao clicked his lips and said, "It's just that we don't have the strength to burn a little." ”
The little tiger on the side looked at the glass wine bottle with some greed, and the word "want" was written in his eyes.
There is a transparent glass bottle for the small fish and shrimp that you caught, which can be seen directly outside, and taking it out can be shown in the little friends.
Seeing Xu Deyong and the three of them pouring a bottle of wine, their eyes looked at the empty bottle from time to time.
Xu Deyong didn't care at first, noticed a few times, followed his gaze, thought about it, and then took the wine bottle and said, "You want it?" ”
"Hmm." Xiaohuzi immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
Xu Deyong smiled and said: "It's okay for you, that is, don't fall and hurt yourself." ”
"I promise not." Xiaohuzi hurriedly said.
Li Xiufang opened her mouth and said: "Deyong, you are used to him, what are you doing for him, this glass bottle is not cheap." ”
Xu Deyong said with a smile when he heard this: "These two bottles will be yours in the future, I want to ask your parents." ”
Xiaohuzi rolled his eyes and grinned: "Then my sister and I will have one each." ”
Xu Hui smiled and said: "Hey, stinky boy, I still know how to pull up your sister, I know that I am not welcomed, and I don't even know how much one plus one is!" ”
Xiaohuzi raised his chin and said with some pride: "I know, one plus one equals two." ”
As he spoke, he held out two little fingers.
Seeing his son's proud stupidity, Xu Hui couldn't look past it and said, "What about eight plus three?" If you get it right, the empty bottle will be given to you. ”
Xiaohuzi was stunned for a moment, and began to wrinkle his little face and snap his fingers: "Eight plus three ......." ”
……
When Xu Deyong and the others drank two bottles of wine, Xiaohuzi hadn't figured it out yet, and he was a little absent-minded even eating, looking at the little goose on the side in a hurry.
After eating, Xiaohuzi still looked at his father with blank eyes.
Xu Hui drank some wine, his face was slightly red, and he said angrily: "Look at your unproductive appearance, whoever you want, take it and play with it." ”
Xiaohuzi was immediately overjoyed, so he didn't care what his father said, he took one in one hand, and didn't forget to give it to his sister.
Li Xiufang said: "Slow down and don't fall." ”
As he spoke, he glared at his own masters, who doesn't have any points by himself!
……
The next day, Xu Deyong finished exercising in the hospital, and opened the blind box with a thought.
"Poof."
Drop a pack of things.
Xu Deyong: "......"
Damn, this thing can come out.
It turned out to be a high-end "sanitary belt" at this time, that is, something that women use to come to their aunts, or buttons.
It looks like a little bit of a sex toy.
Xu Deyong suddenly had some ideas.
It's just that this thing was given to Xu Huizhen, how could I explain it?
Well, when the time comes, push it to Gangzi, anyway, this thing has been pouring things.
This thing is private, and Xu Huizhen won't talk about it everywhere.
Nowadays, the public-private partnership in the city is gradually free, and the economic exchanges in the countryside are gradually free, and even food and other things can be obtained.
The "free market" is beginning to recover in the countryside.
This trend will continue until this time next year, and the free market has objectively created a hidden property and has a negative impact on the system of unified purchasing and marketing and cooperatives.
After that, it was tightly controlled.
Xu Hui got up and said: "Deyong, you are really energetic, young is good, I don't know how tired I am every day." ”
Xu Deyong smiled and said, "Brother Hui, aren't you still young." ”
Xu Hui waved his hand and said, "I can't compare with you, I'll run three when I see it." ”
Li Xiufang said: "Then you should also learn from Deyong, and you will see the training in the future, so as not to let you grow old faster." ”
Xu Hui rate: "......"
Damn, what do you mean by this? Have you lost it?
Look at the night when the gentlemen don't clean you up.
……
After breakfast, Xu Deyong went to the winery to pick up wine and left, returning to the tavern in the afternoon.
When Cai Quanwu saw him coming back, he immediately came over to help, filled the wine vat in the tavern, and moved the rest back home.
After finishing his work, he saw the golden carp in the wooden barrel hanging next to the car and said, "Hey, this fish is good, I heard that it used to be a tribute from the palace." ”
Xu Deyong said with a smile: "It's stewed in the evening, let's have a drink." ”
Cai Quanwu said: "No, you can eat, I still have something." ”
That's what this guy does.
Xu Deyong didn't say anything more, washed his face, Xu Huizhen handed him a towel and asked, "Is the road going well?" It's okay at home! ”
"Hmm." Xu Deyong wiped his face and said, "It's all fine, don't worry." ”
Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "That's good, I'll leave you a meal, let's take a break." ”
Xu Deyong nodded and said, "Got it, hey, let's go rowing and swimming in Beihai another day." ”
Xu Huizhen was a little moved and said, "Okay, bring grandma with you then." ”
"Yes, but if it's a weekend, there will be a bit of a crowd." Xu Deyong said.
Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "It's okay, there are so many people, isn't it just going to have a good time!" It's a pity that the lotus market in Shichahai has declined before, otherwise it would be lively. ”
Speaking of the lotus market, from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China in the past, every year from the Dragon Boat Festival to the Zhongyuan Festival, on the south, north and east sides of the south, north and east sides of Shichahai and on the middle embankment, the two banks set up mat sheds, pile up in the river, lay wooden planks on top again, use mats to build sheds on the top, put eight immortal tables and chairs on the wooden boards, the mat tents are lined up one after another, and all kinds of vendors gather to form a market.
Because a large number of lotus flowers are in full bloom at that time, it is named after the lotus market.
Lao Beijing people often say: "Let's go to the riverside!" That is, the lotus market here.
And don't set up a stall in the lotus market to sell too much food!
There are yellow and white rice cakes, pea yellow, chestnut cakes, donkey rolling, Aiwowo, Xiaowowotou, grilled cakes, enema, puff pastry, as well as red and white horseshoe cakes, kidney cakes, hot dumplings, siu mai, three fresh meat cakes, flower tiger fritters, fried meat, fried belly, fried eggs, Su made meat, crystal meat, almond tofu and so on.
Rare ones include eight-treasure lotus seed porridge, lotus leaf porridge, pea porridge, eight-treasure tea soup, fried noodles in oil, almond tea, bean juice, wontons, etc.
The most popular are refreshing foods such as seasonal jelly and soft drinks such as sour plum soup.
Among the many foods in the lotus market, Ji Decai is unique, setting up a stall to sell roast beef and mutton by the silver ingot bridge.
Eating barbecue in the middle of summer is a special treat for Beijingers. The barbecue sold by Ji Decai is well-sliced, thinly sliced, tender and delicious, and is well received by customers, and the reputation of "barbecue season" has spread.
There is also Huixiantang Restaurant, and Lu cuisine is also a must.
Let's just say that you are not greedy!
Since the dredging of Shichahai in 51 years, the shadow of lotus flowers can no longer be seen in the water, let alone water chestnuts and chicken head rice. The big lotus land without lotus flowers had to be called Qianhai, and the lotus market without lotus flowers became a north-south passage along the river.
The world has changed, and the lotus market was rebuilt and opened in 90 years, and the famous calligrapher Mr. Qigong wrote the "lotus market" plaque, which was hung on the archway at the entrance of Qianhai West Street.
At that time, various food stalls were set up in the market, which caused very serious pollution.
In order to protect the environment around Shichahai, the relevant departments have abolished all the food stalls, and once changed the lotus market into an antique market.
