Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 159 The Carp of the Great River
After waiting for a while, the sky was getting dark, and then saw Master Sima Ji appearing, and there were two children beside him, but compared with what Fusu saw, there was an extra fish basket in Master Sima Ji's hand at this moment.

When they arrived at the guest house, a young boy took the fish basket, brought it in front of the housekeeper, and said, "The teacher caught two carp by the river today, and the teacher gave one of them to the housemate, and the other one is for the housemate to ask." Take care of it and send it to the teacher's room."

After hearing this, Sheren smiled even more, since Master Sima Ji came, the business of his inn has improved a lot compared to usual.

Seeing two big carp weighing about seven or eight catties in the fish basket, the smile in Sheren's eyes deepened, and he repeatedly agreed.

Master Sima Ji didn't even look at the people waiting here, and walked straight into the room.One of them walked up to one of the children, and before he could open his mouth, the child said, "Teacher is tired today, please come back."

In a word, everyone who swallowed suddenly was speechless, but they didn't dare to attack, for fear of offending Master Sima Ji.

Looking at this group of people who clearly want to see Master Sima Ji, but they all pretend to be virtuous, Fu Su feels that these people are very funny.

Based on Fusu's observation today, Sima Jizhu is a person who acts rashly, and has always looked down on such hypocrites. The attitude of these people may make Sima Jizhu even more disgusted.

But Fusu quietly walked to the kitchen of the inn, and saw that the waiter who was chatting with him before was handling the carp. The waiter also saw Fusu, and he couldn't help but wonder, "Why did the guest come here?"

But Fusu took out a piece of gold cake from his bosom, put it in front of the waiter, and said: "Can I give the two carps to someone to cook?"

The waiter was astonished, thinking that if this person could easily give him a piece of gold cake, he must be rich or expensive. Would he be able to do such a job as a cook?
Seeing the clerk's suspicious expression, Fusu took out two more gold cakes from his bosom, and said, "If you want, these three golds are your reward."

Seeing Fusu take out two more gold cakes, the clerk's eyes straightened immediately, but the clerk still showed a perplexed expression, and said: "To tell you the truth, honored guest, one of these carp is for Mr. Sima Yes, if the taste of the cooking is not good enough to make my husband unhappy, Sheren will kick me out."

Fu Su smiled and said, "Man, I won't hide it from you. I'm here to see Mr. Sima. Aren't there two carps here? You can watch me cook one of them first. If the taste is not enough, there is only one carp left." Let you prepare it, but if the taste is acceptable, how about leaving one to be cooked by me, and then I will give it to Mr. Sima?"

Hearing Fusu's words, the buddy was also a little moved, even if the person in front of him screwed up a carp, wouldn't there still be a carp?Mr. Sima still explained it in the past, but after thinking about it for a while, the clerk still said: "I have to report this matter to my family, please wait for a moment, distinguished guest."

After a while, Sheren came here and saw that Fusu was still waiting here, he felt a little surprised, at first when he heard the guy talk about it, Sheren still didn't believe it, but now, it seems to be true.

"Your guest, would you like to see Mr. Sima?"

Fusu nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Please give me your blessing."

Sheren pondered for a while, and said: "It's not because I don't want to, Mr. Sima is a distinguished guest of my inn, if it makes him unhappy, as far as my inn is concerned..."

Fu Su smiled and said: "Sheren, if you agree to this matter, regardless of success or failure, I will give you a hundred gold as a gift. I don't know if Sheren is willing?"

Hearing this, Sheren immediately agreed. The reason why he regards Master Sima Ji as a distinguished guest is because Master Sima Ji is in the guest house, which will attract a steady stream of people to the guest house. Therefore, the guests of the guest house Business will be much better than usual.

However, no matter how many people increase, it is impossible to earn a hundred gold. Now there is such an opportunity, of course Sheren will not refuse.

Seeing that the servant agreed, Fusu immediately started to deal with the carp.I saw Fusu cut the carp's head and tail respectively, then patted the fish's back, and pulled out the fishy line.

Seeing this scene, Sheren was amazed, because he has never pulled out the fishy thread when cooking carp. Seeing how Fusu handled it like this, he couldn't help being surprised, but the taste depends on the taste. how to make it...

Fusu looked at the carp in his hand, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional. At this time, the Yellow River was not called the Yellow River because of its crystal clear waters. It was a big river, the real mother river of China, and it relied on the Yellow River to nurture countless descendants of the Yellow River.

And the carps produced in the Yellow River are very plump. If you ask what is the best food in the east of the river, all the gourmets in the world will say in unison: big river carp.

The poem said: "How can it eat fish, it must be the carp of the river."

The reputation of Dahe carp has been well-known all over the world from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Warring States Period!

In later generations, it is natural that such a rare thing cannot be tolerated by ordinary people, and it is even more rare to obtain such a carp weighing seven or eight catties.

Fusu then marinated the carp with some white wine and salt before putting it into the pot.

After a while, the smell of fish filled the air, and Sheren took a sip of the fish soup in the pot. It was indeed a bit different from the carp he made in the past, with much less fishy smell...

Fusu looked at Sheren with a smile, and said, "Sheren, I heard that you have some unique experience in cooking carp, how about sharing it?"

Seeing what Fusu said, Dang even knew that Fusu had guessed his old background, Sheren smiled awkwardly, then turned around and took two kinds of wild grasses and put them into the pot, and simmered for a while.

Surprised in Fusu's heart, he tasted some fish soup. The taste was much more delicious than before. It seems that the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated!
No wonder there is only one guest house left in this east street, the asking price is so high, but people still come to live in it, just this trick is enough.

It's a pity that most of these tricks were lost in the long river of history due to the self-preservation of the broom, not only in cooking, but also in many other aspects. The master mastered a unique skill, and often only taught some disciples he loved and valued, even So some people would rather take it to the coffin than teach it.

And the reason why the Sheren in front of him is willing to share his secret is because he thinks that Fusu will not pose a threat to him. At the same time, Fusu has come up with his own know-how, so Sheren naturally can't cherish it.

After a while, the second carp was cooked by Fusu in the same way. When it was dark, the second pot of carp was finally ready. Looking at the carp in the pot, Fusu showed a satisfied smile.
