This is not a pier, the boat is easy to run aground when it docks, and he has to jump into the water to push the boat when he wants to leave.
If the other party really wanted to cross the river, it would not be too late for him to land on the shore, and he could earn a few copper coins, which would be worth his effort in getting into the water.
But if the other party didn't want to cross the river, it would be more convenient for him to leave without the boat running aground.
Li Fei also showed a warm and gentle smile, and said: "I am wandering around the world, my home is all over the world, it doesn't matter where I go, it doesn't matter if I can't cross the river."
"But the eldest brother came to ask about it on his own initiative, so I might as well go and see the scenery on the other side."
The boatman chuckled when he heard the words, and said, "Young Master, you are at ease, and you are envious of others."
After finishing speaking, he wanted to propel the boat to the shore so that Li Fei could get on board.
Unexpectedly, Li Fei jumped up, walked a distance of two feet, and landed steadily on the boat.
Seeing this, the boatman exclaimed: "Such handsome kung fu, no wonder you can travel around the world. The world is not peaceful now. If you don't have such good martial arts as you, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect your life."
Li Fei secretly felt ashamed, with his cultivation level, he can be regarded as a top expert in Xiaoao World.
But in the world of Yitian, in terms of cultivation alone, he really can't be ranked high, so he can bluff these ignorant common people.
At the moment, he just said humbly: "Brother is a big praise, you are making a fool of yourself."
After speaking, he sat on the side of the boat, looked at the little girl sitting on the cabin door, smiled and nodded at her, and then said to the boatman who pushed the boat away from the river beach: "Is the little sister the eldest brother's daughter?"
The little girl seemed a little shy. After Li Fei got on the boat, she just peeked at him timidly, and her eyes occasionally passed the long sword in his waist, but she didn't speak.
But there is a saying that "face value is justice".
Li Fei has a handsome appearance and a gentle temperament.
Especially his smile, as warm and gentle as the morning sun.
This made the little girl feel a little more fond of him, less timid, and gradually dared to look him directly.
The boatman heard the words and sighed: "Yes! Zhiruo's mother passed away early, and I have no skills, so I can only let her live on the fishing boat with me, enduring the wind and sun, alas..."
Sure enough it was her.
Relying on the sky to slay the dragon, beside the Han River, the embryo of a beauty.
Combined with these conditions, who else could there be besides her?
"Unlimited freshness, soaring Zhiruo, and envying the freedom of mandarin ducks, such a good name, did the eldest brother come up with it?"
The boatman said in admiration: "It turns out that the young master is both civil and military, I admire him."
After finishing speaking, he said with shame: "I'm ashamed, how could I come up with such a good name. This is when Zhiruo was full week, I paid for my master to name her."
When Li Fei was talking with the boatman, Zhou Zhiruo's beautiful eyes were fixed on the side of his face, and she didn't know what she was thinking in a daze.
Li Feiren was good-looking and pleasant to speak, and had a good chat with the boatman, and they quickly exchanged names.
The name of the boatman is Zhou Dongsheng, because he was born in Dongyue, so he got such a name.
"Brother Zhou, you live on the boat all year round. What do you eat on weekdays? Could it be that you eat fish and shrimp all the time?"
Zhou Dongsheng smiled wryly and said, "We don't have such a good fortune. All the fish and shrimps we catch are sold, and the money we get from the sale needs to be used to buy rice, grain, oil and salt."
"Besides, it's not always possible to catch fish and shrimp. Occasionally, I need to go to the mountains to chop some firewood to sell. I am both a woodcutter and a fisherman. There are guest officials who come from south to north to cross the river, and I am also a boatman."
Hearing Zhou Dongsheng's words, Li Fei was greatly moved, and sighed: "A person who is covered in silk is not a silkworm farmer."
"Those who raise silkworms and sell silk can't afford silk and satin, and those who fish can't even afford fish. What kind of world is this?"
Zhou Dongsheng was silent, he was just a poor man struggling at the bottom of society, what he was asking for was only two meals and one night, how could he think of that.
Li Fei looked at Zhou Zhiruo's rough little feet due to being bare all year round, and the old clothes on her body, and felt a little distressed for no reason.
Although she is really beautiful, she is also really thin.
Li Fei suddenly asked Zhou Dongsheng: "Brother Zhou, do you know where there are more fish and shrimps around here?"
Zhou Dongsheng nodded and said: "Of course I know, but the water where fish and shrimp gather is extremely deep, four or five feet deep, and I can't catch them with my small net, so I can only get some 'crawlers' in shallow water. "
The stone clapper fish that Zhou Dongsheng said is scientifically called "Stone Crawfish".
This kind of fish looks very similar to catfish, has a good taste and high nutritional value. It is a treasure on the table in later generations, worth [-] yuan a catty.
This kind of fish likes to hide under the big rocks at the bottom of the water. Fishermen usually cover the whole rock and its surroundings with fishing nets, and then pry and shake the rocks.
At this time, the stone crawler fish will jump out in shock, just hit the net and get entangled.
Li Fei smiled and said: "Brother Zhou, please row the boat to the deep water area where fish and shrimp gather. Today I will treat you and Zhiruo to a whole fish feast."
"what?"
Zhou Dongsheng sized Li Fei up and down, and said in puzzlement, "Mr. Li, you have neither a fishing net nor a fishing rod, how do you get fish?"
Li Fei said confidently: "I have my own way, you just go there, the premise is that there are really a lot of fish there."
Zhou Dongsheng smiled when he saw this, and didn't ask any more questions, and turned the boat around as he said, and rowed downstream.
Li Fei is a master of martial arts, maybe he really has some extraordinary skills, but he also wants to see it.
Zhou Zhiruo opened a pair of beautiful big eyes, tilted her head slightly, and looked at Li Fei with interest, and she was also aroused by Li Fei's curiosity.
[3.Chapter 3 全鱼宴]
After half an hour, Zhou Dongsheng rowed the boat into a small river bay.
This small river bay is about three feet wide and tens of feet deep. There are mountains on both sides, with dense shrubs and wild mangosteen growing.
This place is indeed a place where fish and shrimp gather. When you are still at the mouth of the bay, you can see fish jumping out of the water from time to time.
There are also some fish with their mouths out of the water, and their gills are constantly opening and closing, as if they are breathing fresh air.
Seeing this, Li Fei nodded happily, and said, "Brother Zhou, don't go any further, lest you startle the fish away and the boat retreat another three zhang."
Zhou Dongsheng didn't know why, but he did it one by one.
After the fishing boat got to a suitable position, Li Fei put his hand into his arms, and with a thought, a homemade explosive appeared in his hand.
Zhou Dongsheng and Zhou Zhiruo leaned forward, looked at the explosives in Li Fei's hands curiously, and asked cautiously, "Mr. Li, what is this?"
Li Fei said: "This is palm thunder, you all squat down, get your net bags ready, and get ready to catch fish."
Unconsciously, the father and daughter took the net bag from the top of the awning, and squatted in front of the cabin door.
Seeing this, Li Fei took out the lighter and lit the fuse, threw it towards the river where the fish were jumping, and then squatted down.
"puff"
The explosives crossed a parabola, flew over a distance of ten feet, and fell into the water.
Those fish with "floating heads" were frightened and sank immediately.
It's a pity that it's too late. Excluding the time of flying in the air, there are only a few seconds left for the explosive fuze. How far can they swim?
"Boom...wow..."
After a breath, the explosives exploded, and a jet of water rose into the sky, and then scattered and splashed down the river. The waves swayed, causing the fishing boat to heave slightly.
The explosive exploded in the water, and the sound was not loud, but the father and daughter were still taken aback.
Because of the moment of the explosion, they clearly felt that the whole ship was shaken.
"What a powerful palm thunder."
Zhou Dongsheng muttered in a daze, Zhou Zhiruo's focus was obviously different, she exclaimed excitedly: "Daddy, there are a lot of fish, hurry up and catch them!"
It was the first time for Li Fei to hear Zhou Zhiruo speak, her voice was delicate and sweet, and now because of her joy, it was even more crisp and sweet.
Li Fei also smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, go catch the fish! The fish won't sink in a while."
Zhou Dongsheng came back to his senses, only to find that within a few feet of where the thunder exploded in his palm, there was a piece of white belly, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
The transmission efficiency of sound in water is four or five times that in air, so the sound of explosions is more deafening in water.
Those fish were basically killed by the shock, and some were fainted and survived the shock in places a little farther from the explosion point.
Zhou Dongsheng handed the net bag to Zhou Zhiruo, picked up the oars, and rowed forward with a grin.
Zhou Zhiruo happily scooped up the blanched fish with a net bag and dumped them in the cabin.
"Wow, this one is so big... Huh? Daddy, look, there's a big turtle!"
Li Fei looked at Zhou Zhiruo who was as happy as a lark and chirping with a smile, and he was in a particularly comfortable mood.
……
Li Fei's dynamite was enough to blow up dozens of catties of fish, including crucian carp, herring, grass carp, and silver carp.
There is also an old soft-shelled turtle the size of a round fan, which weighs about three catties.
That is to say, the ancient ecological environment was excellent, which made the density of fish schools higher than that of later generations, so that such a big harvest can be achieved.
Otherwise, not to mention explosives, even bombarding with cannons may not produce many fish.
After catching the fish, Zhou Dongsheng rowed the boat back to the upstream river beach to dock, and moved all the live fish to the stern.
There is a small tank with a lid and water in it. Live fish can be temporarily placed in it, and they will not die in a short time.
Then the father and daughter took the pots and pans off the boat, put the dead fish in wooden basins, and carried them to the shore.
There was another boat docked here. Hearing the news of Zhou Dongsheng's father and daughter, the boatman got out of the cabin.
Seeing Zhou Dongsheng carrying a large basin of fish in a wooden basin, the middle-aged boatman exclaimed, "Good guy, Dongsheng, where did you catch so many fish?"
Zhou Dongsheng grinned and said, "I didn't hit it, it was this young master."
Seeing that the middle-aged boatman seemed to have a good relationship with Zhou Dongsheng, Li Fei greeted him with a smile, "Today I invite Brother Zhou and Zhiruo to have a whole fish banquet, uncle might as well come together."
Seeing Li Fei's imposing manner, well-dressed clothes, and a long sword hanging from his waist, he looked like a young hero, but the middle-aged boatman was still a little cautious, "This...isn't appropriate?"
Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, don't be too polite. Mr. Li is a talkative person. If he invites you to eat fish, you can come."
Uncle Wang laughed when he heard the words, and said: "Okay, then I'll take a dip. I still have some shochu, I'll go get it."
The dead fish weighed more than ten catties, which was enough for them to have a full meal. Uncle Wang took good care of the Zhou family's father and daughter on weekdays, and they were happy to let Uncle Wang eat meat.
Zhou Dongsheng took Zhou Zhiruo to collect dry firewood in the woods on the bank, Li Fei took out the jungle saber to clean up the fish, and Uncle Wang went to find some stones and set up a simple fire stove.
When the father and daughter came back with dry firewood, Li Fei had already cleaned up all the fish.
Some of the fish were grilled on wooden sticks, a larger grass carp was used for steaming, and the rest of the soup was cooked by Li Fei himself. The father, daughter and Uncle Wang were only responsible for the fire.
Li Fei skillfully flipped and grilled the grilled fish, and the aroma spread quickly. Looking at Zhou Zhiruo's silent swallowing, he couldn't help but smile knowingly.
After a while, the whole fish feast was completed, and the surrounding area was filled with delicious aroma.
The steamed grass carp does not need any condiments, and it is delicious when topped with soy sauce. Too much condiment will affect the umami of the fish itself.
Uncle Wang held up the big wine gourd in his hand, and smiled at Li Fei: "Mr. Li, we are all poor people, and we can't afford any good wine. I wonder if you can get used to this bad wine?"
Li Fei laughed and said, "What did Uncle Wang say? Drinking is based on your mood, it has nothing to do with the wine itself."
"If you are in a happy mood, bad wine is like fine wine. If you are in a bad mood, the entrance of imperial wine is no different from white water."
When Uncle Wang heard this, he gave him a thumbs up and said, "That's a good statement, Mr. Li's realm is still higher, hehe."
Zhou Dongsheng took several empty bowls and placed them in front of the three of them, and Uncle Wang poured three bowls full.
Although the wine was not a good wine, it was very strong.
In the Yuan Dynasty, the distillation method was very mature, and the degree of this wine was not low.
Li Fei saw that the three adults did not move, and Zhou Zhiruo just watched helplessly from the sidelines, and did not take the lead, so he secretly praised her for being sensible.
He took an empty bowl, filled half of the bowl with fish soup, and put a fish into the bowl, and put it in front of Zhou Zhiruo.
Then he pulled out a grilled fish and handed it to her, and said softly, "Eat it! Be careful, don't get caught by the fishbone."
Zhou Zhiruo's heart warmed, and she said with a sweet smile, "Thank you, Brother Li."
Zhou Dongsheng hurriedly said: "You girl is so ignorant, Mr. Li calls me Brother Zhou, you should be called Uncle Li."
Li Fei waved his hands again and again, dumbfounded, and said, "Don't do it, am I that old? We sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes meet each other by chance, and we talk about ourselves."
"I'm in the prime of my youth now, when I'm young and frivolous, I don't want to be an uncle so early."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Zhou Dongsheng and Uncle Wang laughed together, this Mr. Li is really a wonderful person.
When Zhou Zhiruo saw her father and Grandpa Wang smiling so happily, she didn't feel a smile and showed a beautiful smile.
