Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 9 Fishing
Salt and chrysanthemum chrysanthemum leaves were put in the fish soup, and a little salt was also put in the steamed cake made of locust powder. To everyone, it was delicious. Seeing how everyone wanted to swallow the bowl, Sun Xiangfu feels that he has a great responsibility.

"Xiangfu and Dali are both good boys. I didn't forget you when I found something to eat. Our family will remember your kindness." Marin was the first to finish the soup, and took a chopstick-long crucian carp from his bowl to the old man. In the mother's bowl, without waiting for the old mother to give way, he got up and bowed to Sun Xiangfu and Sun Dali who were cooking the second pot of fish soup on the stove, his eyes were full of sincerity and moisture.

"What did Brother Ma say? It's fate to meet in a village from all over the world. Everyone should help each other." Sun Xiangfu helped Marin, who was bending over, and said.

Although the people in the village are all from the north, some are from Youzhou, some are from Bingzhou, and some even moved from Liangzhou. Therefore, being able to be assigned to a village from various places is also a kind of fate.

"Although I, Nie Sanniang, is a woman, I only accept one reason, that you must repay your kindness, Dalang, Erlang, and Sanya, remember, when our mother couldn't survive, it was you Xiangfu brother and Brother Dali has helped us, if the old lady can't make it through that day, you must repay the favor for the old lady."

When Nie Sanniang said this, her eyes were already full of tears. Her family didn't have a good hatchet, she couldn't cut bamboo, and couldn't find bamboo insects to eat, so she took her three children to catch locusts for a day, but After seeing Aunt Cuihua use locust powder to make steamed cakes, more than 100 people in the village are catching locusts today. This year is not a locust plague year. When everyone is catching, how many can they catch? Here, the family ate a few roasted locusts to fill their stomachs, and they were very at a loss for tomorrow's day.

"San Niang's words are reasonable. Our family will never eat your food for nothing. If there is anything you need to do in the future, enjoy your blessings and make great efforts. Just tell us that as long as our family can move, we will help you."

Well, what Wang Fu said directly went to Sun Xiangfu's heart. There is no free lunch in the world, let alone a free supper. If these people don't contribute their labor to help themselves, Sun Xiangfu alone He also has no ability to change everyone's life, so he said.

"As long as everyone can unite as one and twist into one rope, you won't have to worry about food and clothing. As for me, I usually look dull, but occasionally there will be some novel ideas in my mind. It is these ideas that make everyone sitting here Today I drank fish soup and ate locust powder steamed cakes, so we are poor, so we must concentrate on thinking about change and let everyone live together."

"That's the reason." Except for a few ignorant children, everyone echoed.

Sun Xiangfu looked at everyone's expressions and nodded. Obviously, everyone agreed with what he said, so that Sun Xiangfu could tell everyone more of his thoughts.

"So, I have some ideas in my mind, but I can't do it myself, I need to rely on you, I will give you some blueprints in two days, please help me build some tools, before that, you can help us make more fish cages, I will take care of your family's food, and at worst, there will be fish soup for you to drink, so I hope everyone can help me."

Hearing that there is something to do and something to eat, everyone looked happy, Wang Youmi, the old father of the two Wang Fu brothers, said, "If you have something to build, just leave it to my two boys, they have already done everything for me." I'll help you keep an eye on them so they don't get lazy." Wang Youmi, who was full of teeth, grabbed Sun Xiangfu's hand and said.

"Don't worry, Papa Youmi! The two elder brothers are well-off people, and they won't joke about the future of the family." Sun Xiangfu comforted the old man.

With food and drink, and not hungry, everyone will be in a good mood. The pursuit of the ancients is actually just that. Everyone talked for a long time around the stove of Sun Dali’s house. Of course, the center of the topic was mostly about Sun Xiangfu. Some thoughts, now Sun Dali no longer questioned Sun Xiangfu, and in just two days, he had already blindly followed Sun Xiangfu.

The blood blisters on the soles of the feet were pierced with a bamboo stick. Under the service of his younger brother and younger sister, Sun Xiangfu scrubbed his body well before lying on the bed tiredly, closing his eyes, but he did not fall asleep immediately. He wanted to get back to sleep as soon as possible. Familiar with this place, and find out a way to survive, the bottom of the feudal society lives and dies in the thoughts of the upper class, if Qin Qiong didn't stop him today, maybe he would be hacked by the soldier. Moreover, if you split it, you will split it, and there is no place to reason at all.

Therefore, in order to live a safer life, Sun Xiangfu still wants to be an upper-class person. Unfortunately, unlike some other protagonists in time-travel novels, he has his own system or the survival skills of 360 industries. He also knows how to make gunpowder, trains soldiers, and plays politics. Three times, five times and two divisions make one person under ten thousand people, or even directly above ten thousand people.

He is just a student with some achievements in agricultural research, and even learned social experience through film and television dramas. His only specialty is playing with those crops, so his starting point is a farmer.

"I really regret that I didn't read more history books in school." After clarifying some ideas about agriculture, Sun Xiangfu finally hummed lightly, and began to fall asleep.

In the early morning, just after dawn, Sun Xiangfu was pulled out of bed by the two Sun Dali brothers. Today they will have another follower, Nie Sanniang's eldest son Shi Bao, and Datang has the habit of calling people according to their ranking. Sun Xiangfu is Sun Dalang, but calling Sun Dali is also Sun Dalang, which is too heavy, so the address between the two diverges, and they call them by their first names, but there is only one surname Shi in the village, so whoever calls Shi Bao is called Shi Dalang.

Shi Dalang is 12 years old and is almost an adult. Since his father died early and he is the eldest son of the family, he is quite sensible and clever. Today he will learn how to put fish cages and how to make fish cages with Sun Erli. More often, he can drive with Sun Erli all the way.

There is no need to go to the market today, so after harvesting the fish, Sun Xiangfu and Sun Dali pushed the wheelbarrow directly to Cuiyun Mountain. Sun Erli and Shi Bao picked the scale fish and went home. After a while, Qin De came to the side door and looked into the bucket. There were actually a lot more fish in it than yesterday, and his face immediately Overjoyed.

"Duke Guo and Doctor Sun ate the fish you sent yesterday, and they praised it for its deliciousness and nourishment. All the nobles in the mansion also rushed to eat it. They are afraid that you will not be able to supply it, so they are preparing to send the tenants of Shiyi to eat it." Fishing! I didn’t expect you to send so much every day, but it saves you a lot of trouble. After you collect the two pennies, if you send so many fish tomorrow, you will definitely get two pennies.”

After all, Uncle De handed the two strings of copper coins in his hand to Sun Xiangfu, and Sun Xiangfu took it happily and thanked him.

But he didn't leave right away, but said with a smile, "The grass people often catch these fishes, and they have also found out many novel ways to eat fish. They are willing to dedicate these cooking methods to Yigong, hoping that Yigong can eat them." Appetite whetted, body and mind happy."

"Hehe, you boy is a wonderful person. Let's talk about it one by one. If you are praised by the nobles, you will definitely be rewarded."

There are three main cooking methods in the Tang Dynasty, steaming, boiling and roasting.Moreover, there are fewer varieties of seasonings, and the food is relatively bland. Even for a state-level figure like Qin Qiong, the food on the table may not taste as good as the home-cooked dishes cooked by random families in the countryside in later generations.

Therefore, when it comes to cooking, Sun Xiangfu can easily teach people in this era how to behave. After all, Sun Xiangfu has lived in the countryside for more than 20 years. There is no way to cook, because there is nowhere to buy fast food in the countryside.

Therefore, Sun Xiangfu told Uncle De several ways of eating loach and eel in later generations. For example, there are millet flour, soy sauce, rice wine and fine salt wrapped in eel slices and steamed, and yam, radish and loach are stuffed in a crock pot. There are also deboned and sliced ​​eels and loach, steamed with rice with animal oil, etc., all of which can be done under the conditions of this era, but no one has tried cooking methods. I heard that Uncle De, who has a door, is looking for a chef right away. Mother came to record what he said.

So, Sun Xiangfu successfully got acquainted with the back kitchen of the Qin Mansion, and even had the most satisfying lunch in his life with Sun Dali in the kitchen.

"Duke Yi's mansion is really big, the kitchen is several times bigger than my shack, and the vegetables and grains on the shelves are enough for our family to feed for a year! I heard that there are hundreds of maids and servants in the house, and there are hundreds of servants in the house. With three hundred personal guards, you say how rich the Duke of the Tang Dynasty is!"

"Hehe, that's nothing. Duke Yi is considered thrifty. His family has only one wife, three concubines, and two children. If you go to Chang'an, you can see high officials with more than a hundred concubines everywhere. Hey, that's true." It's the world of rich people."

"What is a local tyrant?"

"If you have money, spend it recklessly!"

"But where did they get so much money?"

"We farmers dug it out for them in the field!"

"Ha! This is too unfair."

"There is nothing fair or unfair in this world, only the weak eat the strong, just like the fish in the river, I caught them and ate them, and they have nothing to reason with."

"But it's a fish!"

"It's the same with people."

······
The two of them pushed the empty wheelbarrow and walked down the mountain road. Today they did not take a shortcut to go home, but went to the market to buy some things, plus the two pennies given by Uncle De today, they had nothing in their hands. With four pennies of money, some necessities of life can be purchased.
