Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 661

[Chapter 286 Saury in a can for 3 people to eat]

Chapter 286 The three people ate the saury in the jar and drank the

boat in the clouds, and the six strings rang.

Stop the scull and sit on the shore, and the bitter elm looks far away.

Because Er Niu was working with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, Xu Si was arranged to transport Maifan stones, take a steam bath, cultivate seeds, and feed livestock for seeds, as well as a swimming pool for Xiaobei and the little guys. , need to use this thing.

Xu Si was rushing all the way, and he didn’t forget to practice the guitar. It wasn’t because he liked music. It was because he fell in love with a woman in the inner court who played Hu Jia well. He felt that he was a little unworthy. What should he do? Find Zhang Xiaobao After discussing it, Zhang Xiaobao gave him a guitar, saying that he could match the voice of Hu Jia when he played it, but Zhang Xiaobao didn’t know whether it was the case or not.

The out-of-tune of Zhang Xiaobao’s tune is always unacceptable. Wang Juan praises Zhang Xiaobao every time he listens to it. This song can be a battlefield killer, the kind with infinite power.

Xu Si passed by Jeju on the boat at this time, and saw Yushan, he missed something, and he couldn’t move. In fact, it has nothing to do with Yushan. Even if many celebrities have written something here, the main thing is that he is hungry and flips through his bags. , there are cans that Zhang Wang and his family have just researched for a short time.

It is only used in the inner courtyard, not for takeout, and it has never been delivered to the palace. I am afraid that Li Longji will be addicted to it. He wants it every day. This is a can of Yangtze saury. The meat with a bit bitter taste on both sides is removed, the cost is very expensive, and it is iron.

Xu Si was about to eat it, as well as more than half of the jar of fermented fermented fermented bean sauce that he hadn’t finished yesterday. He took out the pot, and when he was about to spread the sauce to eat, he clicked his mouth twice, wanted to drink, and found a gourd wine with him when he came out. I ran out of drinks the day before yesterday. If you eat such a good canned food and don’t drink some wine, I’m sorry for the Yangtze saury.

Xu Si started to aim towards the shore, eh~?

There is a wine shop on the north shore, which also sells tea. Okay, that’s all. “Boatman, come to the shore, come to the north shore, I’ll go up and eat something. You can eat when you’re hungry. After eating, I’ll pay you, and it’s mine.”

“Guest officer, it’s not good to rely on the past like this. They are still boating on the north bank, with their heads on their heads. Isn’t that a fight?” The man who shook the oars asked worriedly.

“You’re stupid, just move forward and turn your head, just think it’s coming from the opposite side, no, just starve me to death.” This trivial question was too simple for Xu Si.

The boatman was right when he heard it, and walked forward again. Taking advantage of no other boats coming and going, the boat was transferred over and slowly attached to the shore. There are really other boats parked here, and the shore is ready. To tie the boat to the stake, the boatman first got on the springboard and asked Xu Si to go up, and then he tied the boat, and called all the wives and children on the boat, and went to eat meat together. Today’s meal was invited, and at least half a chicken was eaten.

Wife and children are very happy,

half a chicken, that’s more than ten or twenty letters, I have met a good person.

Only men are ready to drink a bowl of rice wine. If there is too much, I will be embarrassed. If I can’t catch a good talker, I will go to hell. Otherwise, I would rather go overland next time.

Xu Si didn’t care how much money he could spend on a meal in a small restaurant. He was anxious to find wine that could be paired with the Yangtze saury. He asked the shopkeeper’s assistant, and he didn’t have any wine that Xu Si could tell, so he had no choice but to I ordered a relatively expensive wine that was aged for half a year. The shopkeeper had guaranteed it. It was definitely not the kind that would be bluffed in five and a half months. The day before yesterday was enough for a month.

Xu Si doesn’t care if he can’t sell it for half a year, or if he really buried it, he can drink it, nothing else, just point out the saury in the can, and let it out in a while.

Don’t forget to shout to the shopkeeper

and the buddy, “Don’t put ginger, don’t put other things, it must be good, you can give as much as you want.”

I like to drink messy things. I usually drink soy milk without sugar, so I immediately replied: “Okay, a bowl of half-year-old wine, don’t add wine to water, just serve wine directly.” The

second half of the sentence is with the following The kitchen shouted, and it was estimated that someone was busy cooking and mixing drinks. It sounded scary.

Soon, the wine came up, and it was boiled. Xu Si smelled it. Yes, no water was added, no, no wine was added to the water. It was very pure. Look at the six empty wine bowls on the table next to you , The person who was looking for a convenient place to go, finally understood why his alcohol intake was so high.

Xu Si took a sip of the wine and frowned. He was quite satisfied, at least it was real wine. Although the taste couldn’t compare to the drink at home, no one in the family could eat canned food. There was a good cook for cooking. Whoever eats canned food, They are all used for emergency use when they go out. They are afraid that people in the inner courtyard like themselves will not be used to eating without a place outside Shuiyunjian and Haiyunjian.

I blame myself for being slanderous, and I drank all the wine I brought in advance. Let’s make do with it. This wine is also considered to be paired with saury?

When I was about to pick up the cans, I saw the shopkeeper’s accomplice looking over and instructed: “If you have any side dishes, serve a few dishes and make up an even number.” The

shopkeeper’s accomplice agreed and went to get it happily. I’m sorry to see it, it’s not good to just order a bowl of wine.

I took out about half the can of fermented bean sauce, and thought about taking out another small flat bamboo tube with spicy cabbage, and then the canned saury from the Yangtze River. Under the gaze of the people who were eating under the shed, I snapped and pressed on the can. With a pull, the can was opened.

Immediately, there were a few surprise movements. Xu Si knew that this was because people who had never seen canned food were curious and used to it. King Li Jun also made do with it, which is why some people clearly saved enough money to leave and did not leave.

Ignoring other people’s curiosity, Xu Si picked the canned food with chopsticks. The steamed canned food had a layer of jelly on it, and inside was yellow and white meat. , one chewy, one tender, and a dozen ginger slices.

I picked up a piece of ginger and sucked it in my mouth. It was slightly spicy and fishy. I sighed in my heart, this is the kindness of the little son and the little lady, and it must be repaid.

The shopkeeper’s clerk also brought four kinds of side dishes for drinking, and the amount was quite large. The five-inch plate was full. After placing the things, he took the opportunity to look at the cans, sniffed, and asked with a smile: ” This brother, where did you buy the fish? It looks good.”

“There is no place to sell it. The inner courtyard of Zhuangzi is always stocked. This is called canned food, which is naturally good. Get used to things elsewhere.”

Xu Si’s mood fluctuated too much today, thinking about the woman in the inner court, and thinking about the good of the master, so he casually replied.

“Oh.” The shopkeeper’s assistant replied. In fact, he didn’t understand what was going on at all. What kind of Zhuangzi thought about his servants like this?

I didn’t believe it, so I turned around to add tea to others.

There was an eight-and-a-half-year-old boy in the Yaochuan family who brought Xu Si here. When he was on the boat, Xu Si gave him a piece of ginger that was too sweet, called Xiaoniao. The family wanted the baby to spread his wings and fly one day, but it was bitter. In the days, the bird usually helps to control the direction when the water is smooth, and the contact for a few days is not unfamiliar to the guest Xu Si.

When the shopkeeper said that Uncle Xu eats fish, he put down the chicken head in his hand and said, “Uncle Xu likes to eat fish. When he gets on the boat, the bird will fish for Uncle Xu, and the bird will catch big fish.”

Xu Siyi

Hearing Xiaoniao’s words, he quickly showed a smile. He likes wazis, because the little son and the little lady are wazis, and he beckoned, “Then the little bird invited the uncle to eat fish, but now the uncle invites the bird to eat, and the uncle can’t finish it all by himself.”

How did the little boy know the preciousness of the stuff in the tin, and as soon as he put the chicken head on his mother’s plate, he jumped over happily, “The little bird will help my uncle eat it.” After eating the

little bird, he finally realized that something was wrong , I have a boat at home, I always eat fish, and I get tired of it, but why is the fish in this box so delicious?

The thorns are crispy when bitten, and the frozen ones are also delicious. Put them in your mouth and slide into your stomach as soon as you can, cool and refreshing.

“Uncle Xu, which Zhuangzi are you from? Are you really a servant?” Xiaowazi said something straight.

“Well, it’s a servant, from Zhangjiazhuangzi, Sanshui County, and was sent out to do things.” Xu Si specially picked a piece of smoked meat for the bird from the canned food. Xiaowazi generally likes to eat chewy meat. Snacks, of course, even the smaller ones are willing to eat soft things, even big fat ones, and others can put the chewed ones in their mouths. The teeth are not fully grown, and it is a good thing to eat into the stomach.

Little bird knows what Sanshui County is, nodding casually to show that he knows, and bowing his head to help Uncle Xu eat.

The two people sitting next to the food immediately understood why a servant could eat something that no one else had ever seen before. It turned out to be a servant of the Zhang family in Sanshui, and the servant of the Zhang family in Sanshui should not be seen by a servant. , Pick one out at random, and they are all masters who can write and calculate. It is said that the guys in the flagship store in Shuiyunjian can recite poems and essays with others.

Immediately, one person stood up, clasped his fists and said, “It turns out that Brother Xu is here, my younger brother respects Brother Xu.” After

speaking, he finished with a big bowl of wine, and the other person also got up quickly and also accompanied him for a while. bowl.

Xu Si had to get up. No matter how powerful the master was, he had to have the proper etiquette. Even if the other two people’s wine was poured into the water, he had to accompany him to a bowl. As soon as he lifted his head and drank the wine, his stomach strained and he burped quietly.

Those two people also knew the interest, no longer bothered, smiled kindly to Xu Si, and let the shopkeeper’s clerk serve the wine, and when they had something to say to others later, the people from the Zhang family in Sanshui drank with them, and there was no trace of it. The shelf, or the kind that kills a bowl.

The bird stopped his chopsticks after eating two pieces of fish. It wasn’t because he didn’t want to eat it, but his parents gave him a wink. Seeing Uncle Xu drinking a bowl of wine with others, he turned his head and asked, “Uncle Xu, where is this fish? The little bird has never eaten, how much did the uncle pay for the fish?”

“This is the fish in the Yangtze River. When the little bird wants to go, he will row over to see it. The fish was brought to Luoyang by the family boat when it passed the Yangtze River.”

Xu Si considered his drink capacity, motioned the shopkeeper to bring another bowl over, and said to the bird.

“Uncle Xu’s family has a boat? Is it big? Is it bigger than my family’s boat?” The little bird compared.

“It’s big, and it can travel in the sea. Uncle doesn’t have a boat. Those are the boats of the master’s family. They were built by the two docks on the Jingshui Shipping Line.”

Xu Si added a piece of fish to the bird and continued.

The little bird didn’t eat this time, looked at Xu Si with joy and hope, and asked carefully, “Uncle Xu, is it really Jingshui Boat Line? Is there a kind of boat there, which looks similar to other boats from the outside, but It is very fast when going against the current, and there are wheels specially designed for swinging the net, so you can fish while walking.

I have seen a bird once, and that person obviously has a big boat, but he is not rowing a small boat. Dad said, that boat can’t be bought by others, so it has to go to Jingshui Boat Company to make it.

The price is not expensive, but how can I buy it? Uncle Xu, can you help me think of something?”

Xu Si thought for a moment, and then the father of Xiaoniao said.

When I came over to take the bird back, I said, “Do you want to buy it?”

“I think, my family also wants a good boat. It’s easy to carry people and easy to fish. Many people want to buy it.” The bird snapped. head.

Xu Si has decided now, “Well then, Uncle Xu will write back now. After a few days, Uncle Xu will go home. Xiaoniao will find other people who want to buy a boat, and send Uncle Xu to Luoyang first. Uncle Xu will pay for the shipping, just go farther, and after arriving in Luoyang, after a few days, a ship will be delivered to Luoyang, and you can bring it back.”

Xu Si is ready to use his rights this time. Now, since the market has been discovered, it is necessary to develop it. It seems that Jingshui Shipping Co., Ltd. has to add manpower. The market research work has not been done properly.

Xiaoniao was happy now, but was afraid that Uncle Xu would deceive people, and asked: “Uncle Xu can really transfer a boat? Isn’t Uncle Xu a servant?”

“Little Bird, don’t talk nonsense.” Xiaoniao’s father taught him a lesson .

Without waiting for Xu Si to explain, one of the two people who had been drinking with Xu Si just now spoke to Xiao Niao.

“Little guy, your Uncle Xu is not an ordinary servant. That is the inner courtyard of the Zhang Wang family. What the Zhang Wang family said is a decision. Thank you Uncle Xu soon.”

“Ah? So powerful? Can the servant speak for the main family? Thank you, Uncle Xu, my family doesn’t need money for the return trip this time, so what I said counts, is it my father?”

Xiaoniao also assured that Xiaoniao’s father nodded, that’s what it meant, and the son’s words represented the adults.

This time, it was Xu Si’s turn to be surprised. Seeing Xiaoniao’s determined appearance, it seemed that he had done this more than once. Except for his own master, who would dare to let the baby be the master?

Amazing.

With a move in his heart, Xu Si asked Xiaoniao, “Would you like to learn a great skill? If you want to learn Uncle Luoyang, he will arrange it for you. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will not have any difficulty in taking the imperial examination when you grow up.”

“Really? Bi Xu Uncle is still amazing?” Xiaoniao was tempted, he really wanted to learn, but unfortunately he never got the chance.

“What is an uncle? There are many people in the main family who are more powerful than uncles, especially a group of little boys who have studied for several years. Any one they take out is more capable than uncle. Uncle can’t pass the imperial examination, but they can.”

Xu Si Of course, you should understand your own ability as a master. The cultivation of talents is a generation after generation. The older the generation, the better it will be in the future, because the previous generation must write down their experience for later generations.

This time Xiaoniao didn’t stare at Xu Si’s canned food, and ran back to his parents to discuss with them whether he wanted to go to Luoyang to learn from others.

Xu Si stopped eating at this time. He took out a piece of charcoal, spread out the paper, and began to write a plan for selling the boat to a far place. He was going to find a local yamen and give him some money after the journey. , and then use his own identity to let the people of the yamen have an official post to send them to Luoyang.

The sun gradually came to the center of the sky, giving people a warm feeling. Xu Si, who wrote the letter and drank two sips of wine, tuned the guitar behind him, and began to play softly, only not playing. Sing.

When he was about to put away his guitar and continue on his way after playing a song, a man came from the river, and before he got close, he praised: “Okay, good song, soft and soft like a woman shouting when she goes out, crisp and clear like a heart like a fountain, This dear friend invited me, and when I heard the sound of my dear friend’s qin, I suddenly realized that among You Jianjia, I stole a leaf and watched the feeling of my favorite Yiren.

Xu Si was startled, the person who came was right, he just wanted someone else, but his thoughts were heard from the sound of the guitar, as if there was no secret at all, very uncomfortable, and he didn’t know who this person was. What do you mean, do you want to laugh at yourself?

Looking at the person, he was in his twenties, with a clear face and bright eyes, wearing a blue-blue scarf, a light gray long gown, a pair of wooden pigskin leather boots, and a four-finger wide belt around his waist. Shaking his head with his hands behind his back, he leaned in front of him.

Xu Si didn’t see what the man was doing, so he couldn’t say anything for a while, and continued to put the guitar in the cloth bag, pretending that he didn’t hear what he just said.

“My dear, why do you have to leave in such a hurry? Why don’t you play another song and let the next one listen to you? Huh? The fish in this box is pretty good. The shopkeeper should add a bowl of wine, don’t mix it with water, this dear friend, just now. Are you right?” The person who came here

didn’t even see him outside, sitting next to Xu Si, and seeing the bird eating the leftover canned fish, he was ready to try it, regardless of whether they allowed it or not.

Xu Sisuan could see that this person should be a literati, and only literati are so free and easy. When encountering strange things, they will go forward, and when they encounter delicious food, they will try it. No matter whether they know each other or not, as long as they think it is you. The same person can drink with you, and chat with you all night without feeling tired.

Seeing that people want to eat canned food, UU read www.sonicmtl.com then let them eat it, and push another bit of spicy cabbage in front of the people, eat it today, and tomorrow there will be something to eat at the place, and there will be water clouds there branch between.

The visitor did not show courtesy to Xu Si. He picked up a piece of saury, ate it beautifully, and after eating a piece, he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, boasting, “It’s as tender as lamb fat, as crispy as old crispy skin. My dear friend, is it true that you just said it?”

“Xiongtai must be a messenger, where are there women and springs, it sounds soft, that’s why I want to get more silk, it sounds crisp, it’s the sound of copper coins. , I’m crazy about money, my surname is Xu, and I used to be the fourth in the street when I was begging on the street, they all called me Xu Si, I’m afraid of being poor, and when I have nothing to do, I think about how to make money.”

Of course Xu Si couldn’t admit what he thought. Guessed and led elsewhere.

“Oh? It’s like this? My father’s surname is a king. The name is Wei, and the name is Moji. Wang Wei and Wang Mojie. Brother Xu’s business is supposed to be doing well. How can I do this iron fish box? I’ve never seen it before.” The

visitor also introduced himself, and began to pay attention to the cans again.
