Seventh Pagoda

Liangfu had pestered Fu Dali to inquire about the future, and now he was wiping away his tears while complaining to Yunying: "It's all Xiao Wu's fault, why did you issue such an urgent order that caused our emperor to leave the national teacher's side. "

Yun Jian rolled her eyes: "I've already said it, but I misremembered it. Your four whistles are long, one short, three long and two short. You must have misremembered them. You should change your whistle. Hurry up!" Well, just use the whistle, if you’re not in a hurry, just use the flute, otherwise the pipa, drum, zither, gong, aren’t they all good and easy to remember.”

Liangfu jumped up angrily: "Oh, you still have the face to say, if it weren't for your uselessness and making you so embarrassed, would Xiao Wu be so anxious to blow the whistle? Is it because I want to ask someone to help you, if I knew it, I would be better off." Follow along, useless people should stay at home."

The old score of being roasted by Yun Jian on the fire has not yet been settled, and now the two start to fight as soon as they speak, Lai Liangfu is about to grow up, Yun Jian has a round of age, it is really disrespectful.

These people started to make a fuss, and Jing Fulin saw Yang Yulin frowned, put away his fan, and said coldly, "Get out."

In the cold silence of the room, a few guys jumping up and down all sneaked out like thieves, and went to play with Zhishu who was chopping wood in the outer courtyard.

Jia Liang was rescued by Yunying, and now he is well settled.

After a few days of rest, when Yang Yulin regained her spirits, the group set out on the road. The following days were uneventful, perhaps since leaving the palace, the road had never stopped, and the rare tranquility made people suddenly not used to it.

Entering the boundary of Huguang, the rivers and lakes increased in number.

On this day, when he arrived at the edge of the De River, seeing the beautiful water and pleasant scenery, Liang Fu was eager to try it, and clamored to go boating on the lake to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the river.

Although it is far away from Yang's family, it can be said that she has entered the Huguang land boundary, and Yang Yulin has to do her best as a landlord.

Even though they have never been familiar with water and only sank to the bottom of the river once, after all they got a few rafts and accompanied them on the rafts to the river in twos and threes.

Unlike Huarong and Yuanba who traveled all over the world, Liangfu and Fu Dali grew up in the palace, they accompanied Jing Fulin and rarely came out, so naturally they were surprised to see everything.

Ryosuke's eyes were as bright as a cat's, and he poked his head out to look around thievingly, using his arms as oars, and paddled vigorously, so disorganized, he naturally ignored the head and tail, and accidentally bumped into another raft .

The young man's raft was knocked upside down, and he hurriedly used his hands to protect a clay pot on his chest: "It's so dangerous, so dangerous."

Only then did Liangfu see that he had bumped into someone, so he bowed to apologize.

Before the young man could return the gift, a head popped out of the water, dressed in black, holding a bamboo basket in his left hand, and lightly stepped onto the young man's bamboo raft like a ghost.

Bowing to greet the young man, he shouted respectfully in a cold voice: "Master." It means "I'm back".

The young man nodded, and the man in black took two stone tubes, poured the clear water in the stone tubes into the pot prepared on the raft, burned the dead leaves, and took out the lively rivers from the bamboo basket. crucian carp.

He took a slender willow-leaf silver knife, and quickly cut open his stomach, washed it in the river water, and threw it into the pot. After a while, the water boiled, and the man in black called out "Master", which means "put the man in the pot." give me something".

The young man holding the pottery pot passed it over, and the man in black took it respectfully, opened the pot, took two drops, and dropped them into the pot. The clear water in the pot had been boiled to milky white, and the aroma of fresh fish was wafting in every breath. When it opened, Liangfu was about to drop into the river with his saliva.

Watching the fire carefully, the man in black took a pair of bowls and chopsticks, picked up the fresh fish with the fish soup, handed it to the young man, and called "Master" in a warm voice, which means "you can eat it".

The young man took the bowl and chopsticks, and slowly swallowed a mouthful of fish soup. Liangfu looked at it eagerly, and his mind was full of the word "fresh".

Picking up a piece of fish with chopsticks, the color is as white as jade, coagulated and not scattered, it looks like it is full of teeth, when the young man took a bite, Ryosuke was sad, and his heart and eyes were crying "It's so fresh, it looks so fresh, it looks delicious, it's so fresh, it's so fresh, it's so fresh, it looks so fresh, it's so fresh, it's so fresh, it looks so fresh!" It's delicious, delicious..."

The young man chewed slowly and finished a bowl of fish, satisfied. He raised his eyes and saw a circle of rafts surrounding his own raft. The people on the raft were all looking at him eagerly, and he couldn't help but feel a little shy and surprised: "Everyone, this is... "

Liangfu stared straight at the pot, and the young man showed a dazed expression: "The fish in the river can be caught."

The man in black called softly: "Master." The young man looked over in response, and then turned around to explain to Liangfu and the others: "Mianfeng said that although there are fish in the river, you can't catch them..."

"Hmph! Watch me catch a hundred of them!" Yuanba stomped his feet, and almost stomped his own raft into the river, causing Liangfu to soak half of his body in the water.

With a "gudong", Yuanba had already entered the water.

Liangfu asked eagerly, "How do you say that?"

The young man was friendly, and answered him with kind words: "In March, when the crucian carp is at its peak, the fresh fish in the river are alive and kicking, and you can't wait to reach out and catch it, but now it's autumn, and the only remaining crucian carp are all diving in." If you are in deep water, if you are not well versed in water and are extremely familiar with the local waters, you will not be able to catch fish in a hurry.”

As he spoke, he showed a shy expression: "I, because of my greedy mouth, I like to eat fish most of the day, so I dragged Mianfeng into the water to catch fish for me in the cold weather."

Yang Yulin used to stay by Tao Cheng's side, and she was more or less particular about eating. She looked at the pot and asked, "What's in that pot?"

The young man replied to him in a gentle voice: "That's the vinegar brewed by Mianfeng."

The young man only said a simple sentence, but he didn't know how much thought and effort was spent behind it.

Freshly harvested grapes are destemmed and skinned, and the grape juice is boiled, cooled, and then packed into barrels.

Eight wooden barrels of different sizes are numbered from small to large. The smallest is the No. [-] wooden barrel, and the largest is the No. [-] wooden barrel. Each wooden barrel is only half full, and a part is left to stand in the open air to evaporate the water. Remove, the taste of vinegar will become mellow.

Then pour the vinegar from the No. [-] wooden barrel into the No. [-] wooden barrel, fill the No. [-] wooden barrel, then pour the vinegar from the No. [-] wooden barrel into the No. [-] wooden barrel, fill the No. [-] wooden barrel, and process the remaining Wooden barrels, after each wooden barrel evaporates the water again, repeat it again, and so on.

After 12 years, the vinegar can be eaten from the No. [-] wooden barrel.

"The jar in my hand is 25-year-old vinegar, which is older than me. The water used for cooking fish is the living spring drawn by Sleeping Wind from the mountain, and then I take a drop of old vinegar and put it in the soup. Boiled live fish from the river is the most suitable."

Young people grow up by the river and have a natural love for fish.

"The fish fed to the palace every season, even if we try to keep them fresh, when they arrive in the imperial dining room, there will be no vitality left. How can it compare to the freshness of the fish cooked with local ingredients in the raft."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sighed contentedly: "Just because of this fresh fish soup, I don't even want to let me go to the palace to be the emperor."

Yang Yulin couldn't help laughing, and looked up at Jing Fulin.

Jing Fulin didn't think it was disobedient, and then he seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked lightly: "Are you Xie Ziyou?" Then he added in a very strange way: "Master Xie?"

The young man was quite surprised: "My lord, you are being polite. You are not in the government office right now, just call me Ziyou."

Xie Ziyou, governor of Huguang, was the youngest minister of border control since the founding of the People's Republic of China. He held such a high position at such a young age, and there is a story in the middle of the story.

Three years ago, the governor of Huguang was vacant. Among the candidates proposed by the cabinet, Jing Fulin originally preferred Cheng Wendao.

He promoted Xie Ziyou as the sun and moon since he compared the fire, and begged Jing Fulin to take back his order and change to Xie Ziyou.Since Cheng Wendao was determined to promote talents, Jing Fulin had no reason to refuse, and since then he has made up his mind to take a closer look at how extraordinary this so-called young genius is.

Unexpectedly, in the next few years, whether it was going to Beijing to report on his work or regular court meetings, Xie Ziyou would always find an excuse to escape, but his iron teeth and copper teeth were loyal in the book, but he has not even seen a person for three years.

Fortunately, in the past three years, Huguang has been well-organized and harmonious, and its achievements have been outstanding. Jing Fulin didn't bother to care about it, so he just let it go. Looking back now, Xie Ziyou may not have been fascinated by the fish on the river...

Liangfu and Fu Dali both knew the basics, just like Jing Fulin, today was the first time they saw the famous "young genius Xie Ziyou", and they really couldn't help but laugh, no wonder the man in black took each "Master" one by one. It is such a number one person.

Before the two could express their feelings, Yuanba had already bumped headfirst into the raft. He was born with brute force and didn't know how to restrain himself. Liangfu clung to the side of the raft so that Yuanba didn't bump his head into the river, which annoyed him He stretched out his paw and patted Yuanba's head: "Where are the fish!"

Yuanba was visibly frustrated, and even a little frustrated: "This fish is too slippery! I'm so pissed off! I'm so hungry! I can't even catch a single one!"

Liangfu was happy: "Okay, okay, you are useless, if you catch fish in a while, it is not your share."

Yuanba was not happy anymore, he was soaking in the river, and he would shake his hands on the edge of the raft, shaking and coquettishly: "No, no, I want to eat fish, third brother, help me catch the fish, third brother !"

Fu Dali was stunned by him: "Okay, okay, stop, why don't I catch fish for you?"

As soon as Fu Dali plunged into the water, Zhishu followed closely, for fear of making a slight mistake.

After a while, two people came up empty-handed...

Ryosuke: "..."

Yun Jian couldn't stand it anymore: "A bunch of trash!"

He fell into the water neatly, and after a while, he almost cried and got on the raft: "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow ..." The inexplicably familiar sense of frustration filled Yun Jian's heart.

Xie Ziyou was a little embarrassed: "There are still some live fish in Mianfeng's bamboo basket, if you don't mind—" Before the words finished, Liangfu and Yuanba shook their heads in unison: "I don't mind! I don't mind !"

Mianfeng was dressed in black, with a somewhat stern look on his face, he didn't intend to do anything, and just stood by and watched the whole process.

They had to cook these few small fish by themselves.

Although it was crudely prepared and not as delicate as Xie Ziyou's, the fish was really delicious, and when I swallowed the soup in a mouthful, I felt that there were small fish scurrying around in my stomach, and it was so tender that I jumped my feet.

Seeing that the clothes of the few people who went into the water were wet, and the weather was not warm after all, Xie Ziyou proposed to go to the governor's mansion to resettle and change into clean clothes. They originally thought of going to the governor's mansion to steal the fast boat to watch the lights, but they all rushed to the door , is there any reason not to go?
