Chapter 17 Counting is Counting
Wu Song learned about the path of Mandarin Duck Lake from Brother Hun, gave him two taels of silver to buy props, and went straight away.
Chen Ergou and the others had already arrived at Mandarin Duck Lake, stretching their necks like giraffes, very anxious, and when they saw Wu Song, their faces were immediately full of smiles.
Wu Song has a heart, you hooligans want to come to play with labor and capital, and see how labor and management come up with a plan.
The scenery of this Mandarin Duck Lake is very beautiful, after the heavy snowfall, the willows by the lake are hung with silver crystals, like an ice sculpture world, the lake surface is covered with a thick layer of ice, several naughty children play with spinning tops on it, it is very interesting.
The three hooligans took an iron pickaxe and slammed it on the surface of the lake, and Wu Songqi said, "Chen Ergou, are they doing birds?"
"I don't know anything, the carp in this lake is unusually fat in winter, and there is no fishy smell at all, as long as two pieces of ginger are put in the pot, the water can be boiled and the wine can be drunk, that delicious, indescribable, so the three brothers want to crack the ice cubes and catch a few to honor you!"
Wu Song glanced at it, and laid a yellow mantle by the lake, thinking that it was stolen from the temple, and a carbon stove was placed on it, and on the carbon stove was a pot of water, pigs, beef and mutton, all kinds of vegetables and fruits, and dozens of catties of wine, it seemed that these people had the intention to keep themselves.
"With those three people knocking like this, it is estimated that they will not be able to eat it. Wu Song smiled slightly, and raised his hand to signal the three of them to go away: "Let me come!"
He had already taken a fancy to a stone under the willow tree, the stone had sunk into the soil for about half a meter, and it seemed to be estimated to be five or six hundred catties, he squatted with both feet, hugged the stone with both hands, and shouted: "Get up!"
The stone rose in response, frightened more than a dozen hooligans dumbfounded, Wu Song walked to the lake with the stone, the three hooligans had already dispersed, he smashed it hard into the ground, boom, a loud noise, and then the water splashed, and a large hole of three or four square meters cracked on the surface of the lake.
The hooligans immediately fell down and bowed, praising in their mouths: "Dutou is not a mortal, he is a heavenly wrestler!"
"The man has so much strength! It's a pity that he is messing with a bunch of scoundrels!"
A thunderous voice came from behind him, Wu Song turned around, that person was the fat man he saw yesterday, he was very happy, and went over to salute: "This big brother, you and I are destined, the second time we meet, I don't know the name of Gao?"
"Hmph! How can the name of the Sprinkle family be known to a scoundrel like you!" the big man waved his sleeves and strode away.
Wu Song looked embarrassed, but he also liked him very much in his heart, and sighed: "It's a pity, I don't know who he is." ”
"Dutou, I know that man. Chen Ergou hurriedly said: "The villain has been to Tokyo and has seen this person, he is a small kind of man surnamed Lu Mingda, he is a guy who doesn't know the general situation, and he doesn't have to mind!"
Wu Song was stunned in his heart, it turned out that he was the flower monk Lu Zhishen, wasteful, he let him go easily, I still want to praise him as the boss of Liangshan!
In the midst of sighing, the three hooligans have caught two carps weighing seven or eight pounds, slaughtered in the cheers of everyone, Wu Song has a principle, there are fish do not eat meat, there is meat and do not eat vegetables, it can be seen that he loves fish, plus he drank a lot of wine last night, and it is also very pleasant to drink a bowl of sweet fish soup later, and gradually put down the things that have nothing to do with Lu Zhishen.
Wu Song took a look at this group of hooligans and found that there were two people missing, who were still there when they came just now, and it was estimated that they should have gone to report to Ximenqing, which was exactly the effect he wanted, and the most worrying thing was that they would not notify Ximenqing, thinking of this, they were open-minded.
It is also strange to say that the fish has a fishy smell, and to get rid of it, it is generally to use ginger and shallots, or to let go of the fish blood, but the carp of this Mandarin Duck Lake can be eaten on a blanch in clear water, without a little fishy smell, and it is sweeter and smoother than ordinary carp.
"This carp is a bit evil, why does it taste so delicious!" Wu Song exclaimed.
"There is a kind of aquatic plant growing here at the head of the capital, its roots are like horseshoe, the carp loves to eat this aquatic grass the most, in winter, the aquatic grass withers, the carp can only eat its roots, the carp meat quality that eats this root becomes not rough, and the fishy smell is completely absent, this is a big delicacy in Yanggu County, it can only be eaten in winter. ”
Wu Song listened to Chen Ergou's explanation, and was also very admired, and said with a smile: "Then I have entrusted everyone's Hongfu today." ”
At this time, a hooligan dressed a carp with a tree branch and said, "Brother Chen, I will send this carp for you to enjoy for Mrs. Chen." ”
Mrs. Chen is Chen Ergou's father, Wu Song is strange in his heart, this hooligan Chen Ergou is also a filial son.
Chen Ergou didn't care about what the hooligan said, he just agreed indiscriminately, his eyes kept aiming at the left, Wu Song was in his heart, it seemed that things would start from the left in a while.
"Kill, kill!"
Sure enough, in less than a cup of tea, two young women dressed as maids came running from a mansion on the left, with their hair scattered, but their expressions were not very flustered.
As soon as Chen Ergou saw the two of them, he immediately jumped up and stepped forward to ask, "Two sisters, is something happening in Xiyuan?"
Wu Song smiled and scolded in his heart, you girl, it's too obvious to ask.
"Yes, two thieves broke into the West Garden, passed through the hall, and came to the young lady's boudoir with a plate of orchids at the door, killed the young lady, and asked the eldest brother to capture the thief, don't let him escape!"
Poof! Wu Song almost vomited blood, the girl seemed to have drawn a map, and it was clear that she wanted to go to Miss's boudoir by herself, okay, I will satisfy you and finish this scene for you.
"Chen Ergou, I'll go to Xiyuan to have a look, you will go to the county office immediately and inform the arrest to come quickly!"
When Chen Ergou heard this, he was in the middle of it, he was worried that Wu Song would go to Xiyuan to catch thieves by himself, and now it was the best, he agreed, and ran in the direction of the county government with more than a dozen hooligans.
It is said that Ximenqing received a report from the hooligans sent by Chen Ergou, Wu Song had already arrived at Yuanyang Lake, and immediately held a brocade box, which was naturally filled with silver, went to find the magistrate, and said what Zhang Xiaosan said.
Ximen Qing rode a horse, Zhixian sat in a soft sedan chair, and the group walked to Xiyuan, all the way to nothing, after crossing the Mandarin Duck Bridge, it is the Mandarin Duck Lake, next to the West Garden.
Both sides of the bridge are full of people who want to cross the bridge, blocking the bridge, Ximenqing hurriedly ran over to take a look, only to see that the bridge was sprinkled with fresh fish jumping around, it seemed that there were more than 100 catties, a child was in a hurry to grab it, and kept shouting: "Don't cross the bridge, let me catch the fish and then go over, delay everyone!"
That person was Brother Hui, Ximen Qing saw that it was on fire, and he was in a hurry, so he immediately stepped forward and kicked a few fish away, and shouted loudly: "You bastard boy, hurry up and go away, don't get in the way!"
As soon as Brother Hun saw Ximenqing kicking his fish, he immediately fell in love, the actor sat on the ground, sat on the ground with his feet and hands, cried like a funeral, and shouted: "The county magistrate saw my filial piety, and ordered Wudutou to send me ten taels of silver to treat my father's illness, and the doctor said that he wanted to use this kind of fish from Mandarin Duck Lake as a medicine guide, so I bought more than 100 catties, and if you kick my fish away, you will kick my father's life away, wow, wow......"
He was still a child, his voice was sharp, and the magistrate could understand it in the soft sedan chair, so he immediately came down, walked over, and said loudly: "This official loves the people like a son, see that you are filial, and order Wudu to send you ten taels of silver to treat your father's illness, who dares to spoil your medicine!"
