Reborn Primitive Age

692 Octopus Porridge

Because the East Market is close to the imperial palace and the residences of high-ranking officials and dignitaries nearby, the people doing business in the market appear to be much more refined, and they are not as loud as those in the West Market.He only waited for someone to approach before stepping forward to ask.

Gong Liang walked with Mi Gu and Yuan Gun Gun for a while, and suddenly smelled a fragrance at the same time.

This fragrance is fresh and natural, faint, not grassy and woody, with a moisture of moisture, tempting the mouth.

Migu smelled the fragrance, and immediately stood on Papa's head with flapping wings. The golden rooster put on the awning with its independent hands and looked into the distance. In the alley not far away, there was a couple setting up a stall for business.

A rough man held a small fish-killing knife in his hand, and quickly removed slices from a piece of crystal white fish, and placed them on a small ceramic plate.

The woman next to her immediately took the pottery plate, poured the fish inside into the small pot with boiling water on the small stove next to it, then added shredded ginger, added two spoonfuls of white rice, and ancestral secret winter vegetables.

After rolling for a few times, the fish will be cooked, the soup will thicken, the white rice will soften, and the secret winter vegetables handed down from the ancestors will smell. Dried shallots and salt powder are put in, and they are taken out of the pot and poured into the large bowl that has been prepared on the left, and served to the guests.

"Guest, your fish porridge is here."

When a Confucian scholar saw the fish porridge brought by the woman, he couldn't wait to pick up a piece of fish and chewed it. His eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but raised his head and boasted to the woman who hadn't left: "Ma'am, your craft is getting better and better. Yes. It’s just that Xiaosheng is surprised that in the past few days, the fish in this fish porridge seems to be more delicious and delicious than before.”

The woman smiled and said: "The guests are regular customers. You should know that the fish used in my fish porridge is brought by my husband and wife from the river every morning."

"Naturally." Confucian scholar nodded.

"In the past few days, for some reason, a group of strange fish came to the river, with fierce temperament and sharp teeth. The aquarium in the river has suffered a disaster, and most of them were eaten in a few days. He is always afraid that the aquarium in the river will be eaten up by the strange fish. , and reported it to the imperial court. The imperial court issued an order for me and other fishermen to catch them, and anyone who catches them can go to the Yamen to receive a reward. It's just that the strange fish is fierce, huge, and the smallest is three feet long. I can catch it!"

As the woman spoke, she ran to the side and took out a few sharp teeth.

"Look, this is the tooth of the strange fish, it's fierce."

The Confucian scholar took the teeth and looked at them. They were indeed sharp. The teeth alone were as long as a palm. You can imagine how huge the strange fish was.

He wondered again: "Since the strange fish is fierce, how did you catch it?"

"I'm not good at waiting."

The woman said: "Speaking of which, those strange fish have bad luck. They can't stay in their own water, but they have come to our land. When the desolate people in the city heard that there was a big fish in the river, they all ran to see it. Those desolate people They were so fierce. When they saw a big fish, they jumped into the water to catch it. One person dealt with the small ones, and a few people dealt with the big ones. In half a day, they killed more than a dozen strange fish. They couldn't finish eating so many big fish, Mr. He Just come forward and exchange things with them, and then share them with us, otherwise we won’t have fish porridge to sell.”

"Ma'am, don't just talk because of her beauty, serve us a bowl of fish porridge!"

one guest quipped.

The guests on the side heard the words and burst into laughter.

Most of the people who come here to eat porridge are old customers. They know that women have a problem, that is, they like to talk to handsome boys with red lips and white teeth, so these old customers often make fun of her for this.Women have long been familiar with it.

"Okay, come right away."

The woman responded, and said to the Confucian scholar: "Guests, please take your time, the bitch is busy."

The Confucian scholar said politely, "Thank you Madam for clarifying the confusion."

Migu saw it from a distance, and immediately flapped his wings and flew in front of Papa and said, "Papa, they are selling delicious fish and fish porridge over there."

Needless to say, Gongliang has already seen that he is not blind at such a short distance.In view of the fact that the little guy always likes to step on his head, he warned again: "Don't always step on Dad's head, be careful that Dad spanks your ass."

"Papa, I can only see things far away when I stand on the head." The little guy blinked his big eyes and said very logically.

"Don't you have wings? You can't fly up there!"

"It won't look good when the wings fly up." Mi Gu explained to Papa seriously.

In fact, she likes to stand on Papa's head, she thinks it's fun to step on Papa's head.Of course, she wouldn't tell Papa that Papa would spank her.

Gongliang felt that what this little kid said was like a proverb in southern Fujian, "Tell ghosts to be dragged away by tigers—to lie to Xiaozi", which means that it is completely impossible for ghosts to be dragged away by tigers. Only a fool would believe it.

He also has nothing to do with this little guy. He has said it more than once, but after listening to it, the little guy seems to have forgotten it, and it will be the same next time.

She can only go, it's not a big deal anyway, maybe it's really hard to spank her ass.

Gong Liang smacked his lips, wanting to talk, but he didn't say anything in the end, and took them to the stall selling fish porridge, intending to try the taste of the fish porridge?

The couple who sell fish porridge in the East Market are quite famous in Longcheng. They always use the fish caught that day to make fish porridge, and sell whatever they catch.People in Dragon City often bet on what kind of fish porridge they could eat that day. Sometimes someone guessed it right, but most of the time they didn't.

A great Confucianist from Qingyang Academy once came here to eat fish porridge, and wrote a poem to ridicule his friends:

"The autumn water is cold and the fish are white with brocade scales, and the ginger flowers are fragrant and pungent.

Zhuge Yuyu grits are really poor, and they are like Mr.'s delicacy. "

The couple selling fish porridge took this poem as precious as their lives, and specially took it to someone else to frame it, and hung it on the wall next to the stall.

This has also led to a phenomenon that whenever Confucian scholars who think they are talented come here to eat porridge, they will write their own poems next to the poems of great Confucians.Over time, the wall next to the fish porridge stall was filled with dense poems, turning into a small stall scene.

Many Qingyang Academy disciples would come here to see the demeanor of their predecessors, which also drove the business of the stall.

The woman buried her head in cooking the fish porridge, when she suddenly felt someone approaching, raised her head, and saw a stout young man walking with a strange black, white and white bear.

On his shoulders sat a pink and pretty girl with a nine-colored tail and wings.That pink and tender little face and cute appearance immediately caught the woman's attention.

Seeing a guest coming, the woman quickly poured the cooked fish porridge into a ceramic bowl and served it to the guest, then wiped an unoccupied table with a clean rag, and then said to Gong Liang: "The guest sit here first, There are still a few guests whose porridge has not been cooked, and they will be cooked for the guests. Do the guests want fish meat, or fish intestines, fish maws, and fish tails. There is no fish head today, and recently the fish head is too hard to cook."

Gongliang looked around and found that the bowl of fish porridge was not too big for them to eat, so he said, "Give me three bowls each of fish meat, fish intestines, and fish maw."

"Papa, I want to eat fish tails." Mi Gu hugged Papa's neck and said in a childlike voice.

"With a tail, there is no meat." Gong Liang reminded.

Migu thought hard before deciding to eat meat, because fish tails are not meaty, and she has eaten them before.

The woman heard Gongliang's words and asked, "Guest, do you want to eat so much?"

Gong Liang smiled and said, "Don't worry, we all eat a lot, maybe we don't have enough to eat, maybe we won't be able to eat."

"Then the guests wait a moment, the lady will cook yours after cooking theirs."

"Don't worry."

The woman was about to cook fish porridge, but seeing the cuteness of the little guy, she couldn't help saying: "This girl is so handsome."

Migu was not shy, when he heard the woman's words, he flew up and stood on Papa's shoulders, with his hands on his hips and his chin raised, looking like he was so powerful, the woman giggled happily.

An acquaintance nearby jokingly said, "Qiniang, if you like it, you can give birth to one yourself."

The woman was used to hanging out in the market, so she was not afraid of his teasing, so she replied sharply: "We can't have such a handsome baby. This is a fairy baby, not ordinary people like us."

She has stayed in Longcheng for so long, and she has some knowledge, knowing that Mi Gu is not an ordinary person.Besides, can ordinary people grow tails and wings?
