  Chapter 244 Insulting fish or insulting people

   "Salmon?"

  Chu Nanzhi pondered in her mind, does salmon still have this name?

Patriarch Sun patiently explained: "This salmon is also called salmon, and it is said that it came in from the northern part of the Songhai Sea. Although this fish is rare, no one likes to eat it. A few days ago, a fisherman who went fishing in the sea brought back one. Just now when the old man came, Liu Lang also said that he was going to kill and pickle it and make it into dried fish and sell it at a low price. If Mrs. Chu likes it, the old man will ask him to pickle it and send it to Miss Chu to Luyan Port."

   "This salmon, ah bah, this king salmon is better than a live thing."

   As Chu Nanzhi said, he took out three taels of silver from his purse and handed it to Patriarch Sun: "I'll buy that salmon, Patriarch Sun let Liulang keep it."

   "Where is this much silver used?"

   Patriarch Sun shook his head and said, "This fish is worth a hundred Wen at most."

   "Hundreds of dollars?"

  Chu Nanzhi angrily took out another two liang of silver and forced it into his hand. Is this an insult to the fish or to me?

  In her era, a whole salmon weighing 20 to 30 catties cost at least a thousand yuan.

  "It's not for anything else, just because this fish is rare, it will be worth the price sooner or later."

   After Chu Nanzhi finished speaking in a rage, she began to plan in her heart to find authentic wasabi.

  The mustard in this era is ground into powder from mustard seeds, which is mainly used to remove fishy smell. However, the authentic mustard must use the root of wasabi.

She was also afraid that these people would catch salmon and salt it into dried fish and sell it cheaply, so she told Sun Wuji and Patriarch Sun: "If you catch salmon again in the future, ah bah, you can catch salmon , can be sent to my side, it’s a pity to sell it cheaply as dried fish, I will give three taels of silver for each fish.”

   "Three taels of silver?"

  The two looked at each other in blank dismay, and they didn't know why she had a soft spot for this kind of fish.

  However, if you can earn so much money by catching a salmon, why not do it, and they all readily agreed in the end.

  After learning about the various fishes caught in Haikang County and looking at the fry, Chu Nanzhi already had an overall idea in her heart, and said with a smile:

"This time I'll take a hundred fish fry back for a trial period to test the water quality of the fish pond. The patriarch and Sun Langjun don't have to rush to collect fish fry for me right now. If everyone salvages a lot after the flood season, they will save it for me. Tens of thousands of seedlings are enough, and I will send everyone another fifty taels of silver when I pick up the fry next time."

  Actually, it is most appropriate to put 6,000 to 7,000 juvenile fish in the pond in front of Chu's house, but considering the damage during transportation, it is still necessary to buy more in moderation.

  After thinking for a while, she added: "The size should be a little more even, about half a catty is best. As for the breed, we should look at the match."

   "Okay, Madam Chu, don't worry, I will live up to my trust."

  Sun Wuji was overjoyed, and she bought a hundred taels of silver fry at one time, which is naturally great news for fishermen in eight villages after the flood season.

   It's just that this woman saved herself and didn't try to repay her, which made him feel terrified.

Looking at the little girl in front of Chu Nanzhi, Sun Wuji asked the patriarch earnestly: "Uncle Clan, do you have any fresh fish from the sea today, catch two for Mrs. Chu, and ask her to bring them back to the post house for the children eat."

   "Yes, yes, there are some who just came back from the sea today and caught a lot of totoaba, so I will go get them myself."

   Patriarch Sun immediately went to fetch fish in a hurry after answering.

  Sun Wuji was afraid that she would blame him, so he quickly explained: "Ms. Chu does not want to repay her kindness, but I am definitely not an ungrateful person. If I want to send my wife a few fish, my wife will not have to shirk with me, right?"

Seeing that such a tough man bowed his brows in front of her, Chu Nanzhi suddenly felt a little bit sorry, so she readily replied: "Since Mr. Sun Lang is so kind, I am ashamed to accept it, thank you very much." .”

  He talked about it, but he felt that he had saved him, and he wanted to repay him.

   It happened that when he was at the Chu family, he had promised Lin Jinxiao that he would get him a few carps, so going back to do it for him today can be regarded as repaying the kindness that this guy sacrificed his life to save yesterday.

Little Sibao just heard Patriarch Sun's talk about the salmon, and he was always very curious. Seeing that his mother had finished explaining the matter, he couldn't help but look up at Chu Nanzhi, and asked with his little eyes wide open. "Aniang, shall we take the salmon back to the post house?"

   "The fish is too big, let's let Uncle Laifu keep it first, and we will pick it up when we go home tomorrow."

  Chu Nanzhi hugged the little one and replied softly, then looked at Ma Laifu with burning eyes: "Laifu, please raise the hundred-tailed fish fry and salmon for me first."

   Ma Laifu raised his thick eyebrows and smiled slightly: "Sister Zhi, don't worry, my younger brother will definitely fulfill his mission."

  As soon as he finished speaking, Little Four Treasures moved closer to Chu Nanzhi's ear, and whispered, "Aniang, I want to see the salmon first."

  Hearing this name is very interesting, and it must be very good-looking.

  Chu Nanzhi looked at the earnest look on the little guy's face, but she couldn't refuse. She looked at Ma Laifu with a smile, and asked casually, "Is that Liulang's family far from here?"

   "Not far, just next door to the patriarch's house."

  The corners of Sun Wuji's lips curled up, and he looked at Ma Laifu with a light smile: "Laifu, take Xiaobao and Mrs. Chu to have a look."

"it is good."

  Ma Laifu responded, and led them to Sun Liulang's house with an earnest face.

When I got there, I saw a man in a coarse cloth shirt coming out of the house holding a fish. The fish in his arms was more than half a meter long and extremely fat. It looked like it might weigh twenty or thirty catties. look.

  Little Sibao pointed to the huge fish and shouted excitedly: "Mother, is that a salmon?"

   "That's right, isn't it big? When I get back to grandma's house tomorrow, I'll make it for you to eat."

  Chu Nanzhi talked warmly and carefully put the four treasures on the ground. The little guy nodded and rushed towards Sun Liulang happily.

  Seeing that it was the lady of the Chu family, Sun Liulang stopped immediately, hugged Yu tightly and squatted down, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he quietly stared at the little girl running over.

  Sibao walked up to him, looked at the giant fish in front of him, and immediately smiled like a flower: "Uncle, can I touch the salmon?"

   "Of course, this fish belongs to your family now."

   It was bought at a high price of five taels of silver.

  Sun Liulang was secretly delighted, and wondered if this Mrs. Chu was stupid to spend so much money on a fish that everyone didn't like to eat.

  He looked at Chu Nanzhi excitedly, and reconfirmed: "Miss Chu, if you really salvage Damaha in the future, will I send it to you?"

   "I won't lie to you, Dahe people don't lie to Dahe people, I keep my word."

  Chu Nanzhi promised without hesitation: "In the future, if you want to sell the fish caught in the sea at a good price, you can send them to me."

"Yeah."

Sun Liulang grinned from ear to ear. Seeing the little girl in front of him fondly stroking the fish back and forth, he was not in a hurry, and patiently reminded him: "This fish is not clean. You must wash your hands after touching it." That's good."

Sibao nodded obediently, and was afraid that his mother would be unhappy. After stroking for a while, he finally ran towards Chu Nanzhi contentedly, but turned his head to look at the fish in Sun Liulang's hand with great reluctance. Asked: "Mother, can we not eat the big maha?"
