Chapter 43: Fishing
There are many canals in Suzhou, there are many fish, there are whitebait, plum fish and white shrimp are the most, there are also sea bass, carp, crucian carp in the depths of the abyss, Yangcheng Lake and the world-famous hairy crab,
At the gate of the Shishan Mountain Temple, there is a big fir tree, and the big fir tree has a very big cover.
There is a big water abyss under the branches, the flowing water is quite rapid, the water flow is deep, there is a stone bridge on the right side of the mouth of the mountain temple, the bottom of the stone bridge is the abyss of gathering water, there is a concave, like a small lake,
There are many big fish in it,
Yuan Chongshan's house is two miles away from the mountain temple,
Yuan Chongshan repaired his house, Ah Jun and Xiaohua also came to play,
Sometimes I buy some wine and food, eat and drink in Yuan Chongshan's small house,
The originally deserted dilapidated house exudes bursts of vitality,
Later, due to the heavy rain, he could hear it clearly in the room, so Ah Jun simply made a plaque "Listening to the Rain Pavilion" in this house with wooden boards.
Ah Jun and Xiaohua brought some quilts and mats, and stayed overnight in Yuan Chongshan's "Listening to the Rain Pavilion".
What Yuan Chongshan didn't expect was that Ah Jun and Xiaohua's quilts turned out to be gold-edged silk quilts.
One is a python money quilt, and the other is a unicorn quilt,
It's not that Yuan Chongshan imagined that he would break the quilt,
In the Ming Dynasty, those who could afford silk quilts were either rich or expensive,
Ah Jun and Xiaohua also have secrets,
Of course, the beggar gang is also a martial arts faction, and some children of the family will also join the beggar gang to seek exercise.
Maybe Ah Jun and Xiaohua are this kind of people,
Of course, they met on the street, and they never went to Ah Jun and Xiaohua's house.
Besides, Yuan Chongshan is just a beggar with wasted hands and feet, poor and two hundred, what can they want from Yuan Chongshan?
It's good to have such friends when you're down,
So Yuan Chongshan has no suspicion with them,
The weather was sunny on this day,
The three of them agreed together to go fishing in the abyss of the mountain temple,
They first went to the back mountain of Shishan and cut a few slender copper thick bamboos to make fishing rods.
I went to Mudu Ancient Town to buy hooks and threads, there are always so many people in the ancient town, who will pay attention to the three beggars, the three beggars with happy smiles on their faces,
Many people think that there is nothing to be happy about the three poor beggars, and what is there to make the three beggars happy?
They bought a line and hook at a fishing tackle shop,
The boss was a bearded man with a puzzle on his face: Do beggars also fish?
Yuan Chongshan and Xiaohua, Ah Jun returned to the "Listening to the Rain Pavilion", used a knife to trim the bamboo pole, made a fishing rod, and connected the line and hook.
A complete rod is ready,
The three of them went to the lion mountain to dig out the earthworms, and the red earthworms were curled together, curled up in the soil, and packed in a wooden barrel.
The three of them steamed the big meat steamed buns they bought from the bazaar in a pot, took out a bottle of liquor, and the three of them drank each other's meals, and after eating and drinking enough, it was noon, and they set off towards the mountain temple.
The three of them were on the stone bridge, skewered earthworms on the fish hook, and hooked down to the depths of the water.
After waiting for a while, the fish has not been baited,
Ah Jun said that fishing requires patience and can't be in a hurry.
The three of them patiently hooked up and down the stone bridge,
Of course, a big bucket of fish was caught in the back,
What carp, crucian carp, perch, whitebait, yellow whiskers, and even tigerfish, flatfish, filled with a large bucket,
Then they rolled up their trousers, and stepped on the mud, and went down into the water.
Touch crabs, screws, pick up scallops,
In the shallows of flowing water, there are small scallops,
There are large oysters in deep water silt.
The three of them each carried a bucket full of buckets and returned to the "Listening to the Rain Pavilion" with a smile.
The unprecedented satisfaction of the trio,
Cooked a large table full of river fresh,
With the old Shaoxing wine that the three of them raised money to buy together,
Not to mention how delicious it is,
When the sky is dark and black, and the moon hangs on the branches,
Xiaohua and Ah Juncai said goodbye,
The two of them dragged their long shadows into the night in the bright moonlight,
Daffodils are planted at the door, and morning glories are already open, fragrant,
Friends are as charming as flowers.
