79 Invitation to Hunt in the Dome Mountain
Su Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Ah Chou chewing and eating.
Going to this dinner today can be regarded as an opening of eyes, and the flowers are like flowing water.
This pound of silver-spine saury is sold by fishermen at the Sky Eagle Inn for 1,000 yuan. The chef fried it into a delicacy, and when it was served on the table, it was immediately multiplied tenfold, becoming ten taels of silver.
Not to mention these three treasures of Taihu Lake that are sent up like flowing water, at least ten taels and one plates. Other casual dishes with exquisite dishes can't be put on the table without one or two taels of silver. Hundreds of ordinary families have been busy for a year, and they can't earn the silver for these delicacies on the table.
I won't mention all the other expenses.
Just invited Shengming Anu from the rivers and lakes of Wujun County to the banquet, there are not hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, can you move?
Even, this is not something that money can ask for.
Without a big man with a high enough status in the rivers and lakes to come forward, such as Mr. Liu, the high-level of the Tianying Gate, Yanyulou would not let Miss Anu go out to socialize at all.
After this feast, let alone the cost of a few thousand taels of silver.
However, for a wealthy and powerful gang like the Eagle Gate, there is not much property under the door, and this dinner is not luxurious, it can only be regarded as in line with the status of the Tianying Gate.
Su Chen sighed slightly.
People are still different from person to person.
Those young heroes who went to the banquet, they really came to the banquet of the wealthy families, befriended the gangs and magnates of all parties, and talked and discussed about the major gangs in charge of the rivers and lakes in the future, paving the way for the division of the territory of the rivers and lakes in Wu County in advance.
And he and the ugly brothers really just came to mix and eat, thinking about how delicious this sweetfish meat was, and they didn't mean to make friends with other young heroes at all.
"Master Su, why is the food at the Sky Eagle Inn unappetizing?"
Anu told Ah Chou to eat slowly, but when he turned his head, he saw that Su Chen was slow to put down his chopsticks, and he couldn't help but wonder.
"Not really. ”
Su Chen shook his head with a faint smile and sighed: "It's just that there is some emotion in my heart, which makes Miss Anu smile." In the past, when I was young, my family was poor and I didn't have brown rice to eat, so I could only rely on water to eat hairy crabs on the shore of Yangcheng Lake every day.
There are many crabs in the lake, which are big and silly, and easy to catch. The fat meat is fragrant, the taste is delicious, and the fat is extra fat per catty. If you fry it in oil, it is also a delicious dish. But if you just boil and eat, the meat is cold, there is no oil, and you will not be hungry.
Every day is fish, crab, shrimp, add a little rice to boil into porridge, and add a little cabbage leaves, year after year, there is very little salt, oil, sauce and vinegar. I can't eat it, I want to throw it away, but I'm hungry. I could only hold back my tears and stuff the crab legs into my mouth.
I didn't expect to mix in the rivers and lakes for a few years, but I ate the craftsmanship of the chef of the Sky Eagle Inn, which is full of color, flavor and mouthwater. For a while, I felt a lot of emotion in my heart, and I didn't get down. ”
There are many fish products in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.
Crabs are cold and should be tempered with the heat from other foods. If you don't eat rice and oil and water, you will have a full stomach first, and if you eat too many boiled crabs, your stomach will be really uncomfortable.
You can steam, fry, drag noodles, get drunk, etc., and it is okay to eat occasionally, all of which are delicious. But crabs and shrimps are cold, the rich can eat them, but the poor people should not eat them.
The fish is slightly better, but it also needs big fish, so the fishermen only sell the big fish caught in the lake for a good price, and the small fish and shrimp are not worth a few dollars.
Listening to Su Chen's words, Anu couldn't help but show deep sympathy in his eyes, and said: "Su Gongzi was so pitiful when he was young! I eat those Yuwutang crabs every day, and I can't even eat rice! I really can't imagine what kind of miserable life it was!"
"Well, yes. Although I was a boy at the Sky Eagle Inn when I was a child, I was often beaten and scolded, but I could eat leftovers from the inn every day, and I never ate those stupid hairy crabs, so I was much happier!"
Ugly chewed on the meat and nodded in agreement.
The three of them sat at a table and chatted.
"That's right! Today, I chatted with Su Gongzi and Brother Augly, and I felt familiar at first sight, and there was no gift to use as a meeting gift.
A few days ago, when I had nothing to do, I embroidered a gold silk sachet with my own hands. It's a pity that only one was embroidered, so I gave this sachet to my ugly brother first. If there is a chance in the future, I will give another one to Mr. Su. ”
Anu tasted a few mouthfuls of food, and suddenly thought of something, took out a gold silk sachet from the belt around his waist, and stuffed it into Ugly's hand.
"How can this be, Sister Anu's belongings are still woven with gold wire, and the price is more than a thousand gold, how can you give it to me!"
Ah Chou couldn't help but show surprise, and hurriedly put down the chopsticks in his hand and waved his hand.
But Anu looked quite determined and did not allow him to refuse.
Ah Chou could only accept the sachet, thinking of the one hundred taels of silver he earned in the ring, he hurriedly took it out and wanted to give it to Anu, "Otherwise, I have a hundred taels of silver here, which is not much, so I should exchange this sachet with Sister Anu." ”
"What a stupid!"
Anu shook his head with a smile, pushed the silver back, and said, "Sister doesn't lack your silver taels." Keep it for yourself, don't you need money to buy medicinal materials to quench your body and replenish qi when you practice martial arts, so that you can become a master!"
"Oh~...!"
Ah Chou touched the golden silk sachet and the one hundred taels of silver in his hand, thinking that this bit of silver was really useless to Anu, he was a little sad, and finally could only nod.
The hall was silent.
The young heroes who were talking at the other tables stopped talking at this time, turned their heads to look, and saw that Miss Anu gave a sachet to Ugly, and they couldn't help but feel sad and sad, or their hearts burned.
They can't wait to look up to the sky and sigh.
Thinking that there are so many famous young heroes in Wu County, none of them can win the favor of Miss Anu.
It's just that this ugly man has such a blue scar and ugly face, but he doesn't know where he got such a great blessing, and he just had a meal at the same table with Miss Anu, and he was able to get a hand-embroidered gold silk sachet from Miss Anu.
It must be that this ugly man has a sweet mouth and can say good things to please Miss Anu.
...
At this grand dinner, of course, it was not only Su Chen, Anu and Ah Chou at a table at the edge of the hall who were whispering and chatting.
The home field is still a feast for Miss Hanshu.
Han Shu invited the young heroes to introduce each other, get acquainted with each other, and make an appointment to support each other in the future, and take care of each other in the rivers and lakes of Wu County.
The thirteen counties of Wu County are quite large in a radius of thousands of miles, from Qu'a County and Dantu County at the mouth of the Yangtze River in the north, to Yuhang County and Qiantang County in the south of the Qiantang River, Haiyan County in the east, and Yangxian County in the west.
Gangs of all sizes are scattered in different counties of Kure County.
There are some well-known young heroes in the rivers and lakes, who have only heard of their names and have never seen each other.
This time, because of the call of Hanshan Zhenren and Wang Xianling to hold the Wujun Jianghu Conference, all the gang disciples gathered in Gusu City, which gave them a precious opportunity to gather together.
"In Xia Dugu Swordsman Gu Jiufeng, the young gang leader of the Haiyan Gang in Haiyan County, this time he led 300 elite disciples of the gang to participate in the Jianghu Conference. In the future, I will walk the rivers and lakes, and I will rely on the brothers to support me!"
"Brother Gu, I have long admired the name of Your Excellency's "Lonely Sword Technique", and he is the number one young master in Haiyan County!
Most of the young heroes have their own nicknames, such as "Dugu Swordsman Gu Jiufeng", "Shadowless Whip Wuqing", "Desperate Wednesday Lang", and "Broad Giant Sword Han Yun".
At this banquet, they admired each other for a long time and took the opportunity to tout each other's status in the rivers and lakes, which is also one of the core purposes of this grand dinner.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the rivers and lakes of Wujun in the future are the rivers and lakes of my young heroes! Everyone here is expected to be in charge of a gang of people, everyone drink this cup, and in the future, we should advance and retreat together!"
Han Shu and the others introduced it again, and then raised their glasses and said with a smile.
She was quite satisfied with this feast.
Of course, there are some small regrets.
At this originally grand and serious banquet of young heroes, there were two or three more indiscriminate people, which was quite an eyesore.
For example, Wang Fuhao, the eldest son of the master of Gusu County, this unconscious gentleman, licked his face and was close to other young heroes, and his hippie smile was stunned that he was also a hero. It's just that for the sake of his father's county order, it's not good to drive him out.
Also, the two Ah Chou and the disciples of the Medicine King Gang in the corner of the hall relied on Uncle Liu's face to get in.
Han Shu directly ignored the two of them, and did not invite the two of them to introduce them in public.
In addition, everyone else can be regarded as the real young heroes of Wu County, and tonight's banquet can be regarded as a success. Although the appearance of Miss Anu in Yanyulou has gained a lot of brilliance, she is not a person in the rivers and lakes after all.
"What Miss Hanshu said is very true! The rivers and lakes of Wujun are about to be blown by a strong wind. I'm a heroic man, and I'm going to ride the wind and rise to the clouds!
Wu Qing raised his wine glass and drank it all, his face was ruddy, and he smiled proudly.
"Brother Wu is arrogant, and he will do great things!"
When the young heroes heard this, they immediately praised it.
At the banquet, the young heroes praised each other, and then talked about tomorrow's Laba, the hunting in the Qionglong Mountain during the day, and the Jianghu Conference at night.
Laba is the highlight of the entire Wujun Jianghu Conference, and the schedule is very tight.
Early in the morning, Wang Xian Ling personally led the county officials and the people in the city to hold a Laba sacrifice at the gate of Gusu County, the ceremony was grand, and you can see the liveliness.
During the day, the disciples of the big and small gangs would go to the Qionglong Mountain, dozens of miles away on the outskirts of the city, to conduct an ancient hunt and hunt wild beasts to pray for a good harvest in Wu County in the coming year.
In the evening, at the foot of Qionglong Mountain, a small town on the edge of Taihu Lake "Xukou Town", the first Jianghu Conference was held.
This is a rare event in the rivers and lakes of Wujun in a hundred years, and it is necessary to participate.
However, it was the gang leader-level high-level leaders of the various gangs who really participated in this Jianghu conference, and the rest of the gang disciples just joined in the neighborhood and held a bonfire party.
When the young heroes talked about this, they couldn't help but invite each other, and made an appointment to go hunting in Qionglong Mountain together early tomorrow morning, after the Laba sacrifice, and in the evening they would have a bonfire barbecue party in Xukou Town.
"Tomorrow, there's a big hunt in Vault Mountain?"
Anu couldn't help but be interested when he heard everyone talking about it.
In the past year or two, she has always stayed in Yanyulou, and Li's mother is worried about her safety and will not let her go out at will.
Even if he goes out occasionally, there are many guards and maids to follow, so he can only walk around the streets of Gusu City in a carriage at will, otherwise he will be watched by others, which is quite uncomfortable.
Tomorrow is the Laba Festival, and there is a hunting event in Qionglong Mountain, she can just have a pleasant tour of the mountains and waters, and go to the deep mountains and old forests to breathe in the fresh air.
"Su Gongzi, Ah Chou, are you going? Why don't we go hunting in Qionglong Mountain together, take a stroll, and have a companion!"
Anu also wanted to go to Qionglong Mountain to see the excitement and asked.
Su Chen used to pass by Qionglong Mountain.
Dozens of miles to the west of Gusu City is a continuous dome mountain range, the mountain is like a dome and deep, jumping over the dome mountain range, and then not far to the west is the Taihu Lake with thousands of miles of rippling blue waves.
Many years ago, he was bitten by a highly venomous golden ring snake in the mountains, and he knew that there was nothing to visit in the deep mountains and old forests.
Su Chen didn't really want to go to Qionglong Mountain, which was dozens of miles away, and he was a little embarrassed: "Tomorrow, all the gang disciples will gather in Qionglong Mountain to hunt, and there will be many people, I'm afraid it will be easy to get injured by mistake." Miss Anu has never studied martial arts... I'm afraid it's not right!"
"I've practiced some martial arts, and I also have third-rate strength! Besides, aren't Su Gongzi and Ah Chou two top masters in the rivers and lakes? With Su Gongzi and Ah Chou here, as well as the first-class guard masters of Yanyu Tower, what danger can there be. ”
Anu laughed.
Ah Chou nodded hurriedly, and immediately persuaded: "Brother Chen, anyway, you have been bored for several months in Yaowang Villa, this time you came out to relax, and you have been wandering around the county for the past two days, so let's go to Qionglong Mountain for a walk." ”
"Alright then, let's go to Qionglong Mountain tomorrow!"
Su Chen saw that Ah Chou and Miss Anu both wanted to go, but they couldn't help it, so they had to agree.
