Chapter 448: Long
Chapter 448 Ron
Wen Yansheng sat in the back yamen shed, picked his teeth with a toothpick, patted his stomach after a full belch, and couldn't help expressing emotion to his confidant: "Hey, this big yellow croaker also has When you're tired of eating. I'm too tired. It would be great if I could eat some rice. If I continue to eat like this, it will damage my body."
Large yellow croaker stew has been developed to steamed large yellow croaker, and then it was extravagant to deep-fried large yellow croaker, and then it became grilled fish.
In a short period of time, there are more than a dozen ways to eat this cheap large yellow croaker.
Even so, Wen Yansheng still wanted to eat rice.
I ate large yellow croakers for a month.
Is this how people live?
"What Duke Ming said is, then, the villain is going to buy some rice?"
The price of rice has plummeted, and when it reaches two copper coins a catty, it is like jumping off a building for a big sale. Every time the majestic Zhen Guogong comes back with a full load, it is the time when rice merchants and gentry cry blood.
Wen Yansheng suppressed his hand: "You can't buy it."
His face was serious: "I am an official of my parents. Today, the people are in a catastrophe. The price of fish is one yuan, but the price of rice is two yuan. The price difference is more than double. Over the years, the imperial court has suffered disasters year after year. It is the time when the whole world is short of food. The disaster victims in Ningbo Prefecture can eat one more catty of large yellow croaker, and the common people in the world can eat one more catty of rice. For the common people, I, the parents and officials, should set an example and encourage the common people to eat fish. If I take the lead in eating rice, the common people What should I do if I follow suit? Tonight, when cooking fish, add some Shaoxing rice wine to it and cook it for a try, maybe it will taste different. Remember, put a little less salt and more chopped green onion. I also sent six large prawns with the thickness of arms. Hey... It's really embarrassing. It's tasteless to eat, and it's a pity if you don't eat it. It's hard to get along with each other. Let's cook the prawns together. Oh, Put some pepper in it, simmer for an hour and a half, don't let the meat fall apart, please come to Xuezheng at night, he has good wine there, invite him to come, he will bring his old wine to the meeting."
Chang Sui began to salivate unconsciously. This magistrate, every time he talked about food, he had the function of making people drool: "There are still many sea mussels piled up in the back kitchen."
"Also..." Wen Yansheng frowned: "Hey, it's really embarrassing. The sea mussels I made last time always lacked a little flavor. Let's cook them together. Then, take some sauce and eat them with it. .”
"Yes, yes, how about some glutinous rice..."
Wen Yansheng rose up against the case, and said righteously: "I, Wen Yansheng, have been favored by the king and fed by the people. I would rather die than eat rice, and don't talk about it!"
…
What surprised Wen Yansheng the most was that the gentry should have taken some action, but these Ningbo gentry, after putting down their cruel words, disappeared without a trace.
After a few days, the imperial court unexpectedly came down with a decree, Wen Yansheng bestowed a flying fish suit.
This imperial bestowed flying fish suit is nothing to a court official, but to a local parent official, it is a great honor.
Wen Yansheng never expected that instead of offending anyone, he was rewarded. He was so moved that he burst into tears, and at night he cooked fish again and held a banquet to celebrate.
...
When the imperial envoy came to Shuizhai, he promulgated the decree of grace, Tang Yinjia compiled it for the Hanlin Academy, and ordered the governor to prepare the Japanese guard for the government.
Tang Yin bows down, thank you!
Hu Kaishan was the official of thousands of households, and ordered a hereditary order of hundreds of households.
Hu Kaishan's tower-like body shook.
The face of the person who issued the decree turned green with fright.
Then there was a snap, and the tower-like man bowed down, with tears in his eyes: "Thank you."
The fate of life is really amazing. Originally Hu Kaishan was a bandit. After following Fang Jifan, he was pardoned first, and soon...the official fortune was prosperous. More importantly, living here is very fulfilling. Hu Kaishan has begun to stop seasickness. Not only that, but he also became a good hand at getting off the net. Many huge big yellow croakers were fished out by him. The poor in the camp... No, brothers, it is no different from the big brothers in the mountains back then. It's a gut-wrenching temperament, loyal, and daring to work hard.
The word loyalty is indeed the tradition of Biwawei.
Of course, this is also derived from the ancestors who have been poor for eighteen generations in Yiwu County and Yongkang County.
If a person can't live, if he wants to eat, he has to hug into a group and go to the tiger's mouth to **** food. Therefore, Yiwu County and Yongkang County have a tradition since ancient times. Life can be abandoned, but you can't be greedy for life and fear death, and put danger in front of you. Others, if they are greedy for life and afraid of death, or those who eat alone, will often be despised by the villagers, and once you are excluded by your fellow villagers, you will not be able to survive at all.
Hu Kaishan likes these simple and honest people. As long as they are fed enough, they are willing to give their best.
He bows down, thank you.
Then, there were rewards one by one, and everyone in the camp was excited.
Who would have expected that as a soldier, Qiu Ba, who thought he had no future at first, would not only be able to eat enough, but also have excellent food. All the officers and soldiers have to raise a whole body of fat.
Fortunately, the training and working at sea turned their fat into lean flesh. This group of not tall but solid men also bowed down one after another. Some people were inexplicably excited. They were poor, sometimes You can say that they are fools, that’s right, they really haven’t read any books, they only know that there is an emperor Lao Tzu outside the mountain, he is the ruler of the whole world, he is a high existence, and now the emperor Lao Tzu is still thinking about himself, this... How can you not be excited.
Tang Yin has already got up, according to the old rules, he has to give the envoy some tea money, this is the rule he learned in Beijing.
And it just so happens that Tang Yin is very rich now, and every time he lays down it is a net profit of thousands of taels of silver. This is on the premise that it is for disaster relief. Otherwise, this big yellow croaker is sold for three to five yuan, and there are still people rushing to ask for it. He took out a piece of silver and was about to stuff it into the imperial envoy's hand with ease.
The imperial envoy peed in fright and waved his hands: "I dare not, I dare not."
"The envoy has come all the way, and the journey is tiring..."
"I really dare not, I beg Tang Xiuzhuan not to offend the villain."
Tang Yin felt that the envoy was being too polite, and was about to say something.
The imperial envoy groaned and knelt down: "Tang Xiuzhuan, don't... don't do this, don't do this, don't, don't..."
"..."
Tang Yin heaved a sigh of relief.
very strange.
When I was not a Jinshi, I always heard people say that the officialdom is dark and I can't see my fingers. Why did I become an official without so many intrigues and nonsense? It seems that everyone is reasonable , everyone has a breeze in their sleeves.
Tang Yin received the money.
Help up the imperial envoy and order people to entertain him.
Then... ordered people to fire cannons in the water village, all boarded the ship, and raised the flag.
The majestic and majestic Zhen Guogong's banner was hoisted to the mast, Tang Yin took his seat in the boat and gave the order to leave the port.
The majestic Zhen Guogong is no longer just a blessing ship, but is now equipped with a large number of crossbows, the hull has been reinforced several times, and the sails and rudder have been improved.
The sailors are all full of energy, they are treated very well, they are strong and motivated, and after getting familiar with sea ships, they start to feel like ducks in water.
Everyone performs their duties, and the rest of the sailors hold their breath and stand by in three shifts.
The big ship left the port, carrying the hopes of countless people, and began to slowly sail into the distance.
This time, Tang Yin hopes to go to the far sea to try it out. After all, the food demand in the disaster area in Ningbo is much smaller now.
After driving for two days, three islands were marked on the way. At the same time, the advance clippers also discovered several hidden reefs. According to the compass, they arrived roughly fifty miles away from Ningbo Port.
Tang Yin decided to order people to put down the boat. The azure blue ocean gave people a feeling of relaxation and happiness.
But when it was time to let down the cable, someone suddenly shouted: "Yongquan, spring in the sea, look... look!"
Tang Yin was busy ordering someone to fetch the binoculars.
This telescope is made in the Xishan glass workshop, and it really has the function of seeing far.
Just looking through the binoculars, Tang Yin gasped.
His Adam's apple was rolling, and he kept swallowing.
"What's the matter, what's the matter?" Hu Kaishan was also taken aback, and grabbed the binoculars to look. In front of his eyes, more than a hundred feet away, spring water gushed out.
Tang Yin's face was pale, and he muttered in a low voice: "There is a fish in the dark north, and its name is Kun. Kun is so big, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is..."
Thousands of miles, of course, is an exaggeration.
But when Tang Yin saw the big fish under the gushing spring, he still remembered this sentence from "Zhuangzi's Happy Journey".
Looking from a distance, the gushing spring was actually ejected by this big fish.
The big fish with the sponge exposed is just the tip of the iceberg, much bigger than the king of the big yellow croaker.
So...how big is the body hidden under the blue water?
Hu Kaishan began to swallow his saliva: "Such a big fish, it will taste better than the big yellow croaker."
"Don't be joking!" Tang Yin managed to calm down, with a cold face: "What this fish is, I don't know for the time being, let's go back and ask Master Ming first."
"Why don't you try fishing first?" Hu Kaishan looked at Tang Yin, eager to try.
"You..." Tang Yin was speechless.
He felt that he should keep calm, and thought for a long time: "Go forward and observe closer!"
"Forward, forward!" The bannerman issued an order.
Hearing that the ancestor of the big fish was found, everyone jumped for joy. The sailors smelled the smell of silver and fish.
This group of undead guys are all gearing up.
"Prepare the crossbow, prepare the harpoon, prepare the firecrackers, brothers!" Hu Kaishan yelled: "The dead birds are up to the sky!"
"Long live!" The crowd cheered, their faces blushed with excitement, and each went to find weapons, such as harpoons, firecrackers, crossbows, and ballistas. Someone brought a huge net, and Hu Kaishan looked at it. Looking at this excited guy, he slapped him directly: "Bring your **** net!"
The twelfth leader has appeared. Congratulations to the new leader for staying, and happy mentioning the throne of the prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty. Let us use the monthly ticket to thank him!
