Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 11 Sashimi

On this day, Zhou Cang was adding sea water to the pot when he suddenly heard someone shout, "Hey, that black boy, what are you doing?"

Zhou Cang was startled, the illegal and criminal activities were discovered, he hurriedly looked up, and saw three people walking in the distance, the middle one was about his own age, handsome, dressed in a blue gown, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and two people beside him. The servants dressed up and carried packages.One of them was pointing at himself, and the other said something to the young master in the middle.

Zhou Cang was stunned for a moment, wanting to run away, but he didn't want to give up his salt and donkey. He wanted to fight, but the three opponents still had sharp knives, so he might not be able to fight.Zhou Cang squatted down and secretly grabbed a few stones. It seemed that he would have to carry a pocket full of stones on his waist in the future.

After a while, the three of them came up close. "Why did you come to my house and why didn't you answer? Could it be that you are dumb." The attendant continued to shout.

"Come east on the next road, passing through the treasure land, if you bother me, please ask Haihan." Zhou Cang saluted with fists in his arms, luckily he didn't say that the poor monk came from the Tang Dynasty...

"Young Master, grab it and send it to the official." The attendant next to him asked, his hand was already on the knife, and he seemed to want to make a move, just waiting for the Young Master's order.

"Well", the young man just responded, and then looked at Zhou Cang with great interest. It was obvious that Zhou Cang's fit figure, strong and well-defined muscles were quite eye-catching.He glanced at Zhou Cang's two pots again, and his eyes obviously stayed on the seafood pot for a while.

"Master must have been hungry after working hard all the way. It just so happens that the meal is already cooked, why don't you eat first." Zhou Cang looked at him and acted, and hurriedly made friends.

"Young master has been out for a few days, and it will take a few more days to go to Guangling. The master should be in a hurry, and you should go as soon as possible." A servant said. "If the son is hungry, there is still food in the package..."

"Don't talk too much." The young master said angrily, "Eat something before it's too late to leave."

Zhou Cang hurriedly took out the cooked conch, abalone, etc. and put them on the wooden board, taking the opportunity to throw down the stones in his hand.I saw that the food was a bit lacking. Fortunately, I still caught a few fish today. This year is good, and I am afraid I can't catch anything at the modern seaside.It’s too late to stew, so let’s just make sashimi. Zhou Cang removes the head of the fish, cuts it open, washes it, puts it on another wooden board, slices the fish meat from the spine, then slices the skin, and puts the head, bones [-]. Throw the fish skin into the pot to stew the soup, remove the bones of the remaining fish and slice it into thin fish fillets, which are almost transparent and look very good.Then he took out the soy sauce and vinegar and put them in front of the young master, "Please eat, young master." Then he stood aside in a respectful manner.

One attendant laid cushions on the stone, and the other took out a pair of bowls and chopsticks from the package like a magic trick, and held them to the young master with both hands, and the young gentleman sat down and took the bowls and chopsticks.First, I took a piece of fish, dipped it in soy sauce, put it in my mouth, chewed it slowly, and immediately my eyes lit up. After eating one piece, I took another piece, dipped it in vinegar, put it in my mouth, and quickly picked up the third piece of what Didn't put it in my mouth either.After taking three bites, he let out a sigh of relief. "Your fish cakes are not bad. Why do you have these sauces? It's not as delicious as before."

"This is also because there are various flavors. If it has mustard, it tastes better." Zhou Cang didn't explain too much. "I don't know the name of this fish. The salmon and tuna in the deep sea are even more delicious."

"It seems that you still have a lot of research. It's the first time I've heard of salmon and tuna." The young master nodded, and continued to eat like a storm. Two of the three chopsticks don't touch anything, and they only eat fish fillets. None of them moved.

Uh, I slipped my tongue again. There is no such fish in the coastal waters of China. I heard it when I went to self-service. It said that it was imported fish, and it tasted really good.

Guangling, sashimi?The identity of the visitor is ready to be revealed.

"May I ask if your surname is Chen?" Zhou Cang asked cautiously.

"Oh?" The young master stopped immediately, obviously vigilant, "Leaving aside these things, first tell me who are you? Where are you from?"

"From Xiahui County, surnamed Zhou Mingcang." Zhou Cang concluded that he guessed correctly, this person is Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong.

"Huh?" The young master thought for a while, then turned to look at the two attendants, they all shook their heads slightly to indicate that they hadn't heard of it.

"My family is not a big family in Hui County, and they don't have much reputation except in the village." Zhou Cang explained.

"Oh," the young master paused, "Since I ate your fish sticks, it's not hard for you, you can go away in a while."

"My lord, I'm not a criminal. It's only because I've traveled here that I ran out of money that I thought of the method of cooking sea for salt. You laughed at me."

The words to Chen Cang were quite polite, and Chen Deng also felt that Zhou Cang was not a blind man, so he talked too much, "Then why did you come here?"

"The ancestor of the Xia family was originally from Kansai. Although he was not a well-known family, his family background was quite prosperous. It's just that my father was not good at farming and merchants. It's just because no one recommends him, and his appearance is not liked by others, so he has been unknown." Zhou Cang made a halo for his father.

"So that's how it is." Chen Deng was relieved when he looked at Zhou Cang, and his appearance was indeed a bit like that.

"The salmon and tuna you mentioned are not locally owned, they must also be species from other places."

"Exactly. That's what my father ate when he went to Beihai." God knows if there is any in Beihai.

"Your father is so free and easy to travel around all the time." Hearing these words, there was still some longing.

"My mother has been advising my father to let my father buy more property. However, my father said that if the money is gone and returned, I am born to be useful."

"It's a good sentence that my talent will be useful!" Chen Deng sighed, "Where has your father been?" Chen Deng still wants to find out.

Ha ha, I'm afraid you don't ask. "My father traveled north to Beihai. He said that the north is rich in water and grass, but the climate is cold. The residents don't do farming and are nomadic. They live in aquatic plants. There are also residents who like to go hunting. The folk customs are strong. Now the various ethnic groups live scattered. If there are capable people to rule the group It must be a great trouble to our family, especially the Xiongnu at that time. My father traveled westward as far as the desert, and said that the countries of Jingjue, Shanshan, and Kucha in the west are small and there are many merchants, and there are big countries in the far west. My father came to the East China Sea again, and he said that although he had not seen the Penglai Fairy Mountain, Xu Fu’s eastward journey may not have islands and continents, or there may be a lineage of my Han family; there is an island in the South China Sea called Ryukyu, and some fishermen waited for this island in a storm When I came back, I said that the residents on the island are no different from my Han people, and the grain in the south is rice, which can be cooked twice or three times a year." Zhou Cang quickly showed off.

"Your father is really a strange person, and you have followed your father to various places?" In Chen Deng's eyes, Zhou Cang got rid of blindness.

"Hey, my brother is also regretful, but it's a pity that my brother was not born at that time. I heard all this from my father. At that time, I thought it was fun to listen to it as a story." Zhou Cang beat a snake with a stick. "My father later lived in seclusion with my mother in the mountain village, and I had a younger brother. After that, my father didn't see outsiders, wrote books behind closed doors, and then taught the younger brother academically. The younger brother only knew how to play when he was young, and he couldn't learn a dozen or two." You can see the halo made by Zhou Cang in the sky.

"Then I don't know what your father is doing?" Chen Deng hurriedly asked.
