"It would be too late to notice at that time." Duan Tingxuan was very satisfied with the situation, pulled Su Nuannuan who was still in shock, and said with a smile: "Lady, go downstairs to eat, you have to adapt quickly."
Be despised by... despised.
She is a dignified modern time-travel girl who has been influenced by countless TV dramas and movies, and has successfully acted in dozens of group performances. She is actually despised by an ancient man who has no foundation in acting. It's embarrassing, it's too embarrassing, it seems that it's impossible not to work hard, she wants to use this trip to the south of the Yangtze River to make the scumbag fully realize that she is not just a foodie, but also a very successful actor... Ugh! It seems that in this era, being an actor is not a very promising career.
Thinking wildly in her mind, when Su Nuannuan came back to her senses, she was already standing on the pier. She blinked, looked at the dozens of large boats on the river, and murmured: "What are we... doing?"
"Go to Jiangnan by boat." Duan Tingxuan looked at his wife worriedly: "Lan'er, you are not stupid, are you? Of course you have to take a boat to go to Jiangnan. If the wind is smooth, you can reach Suzhou in ten days."
Siping also expressed full concern about the acting skills of the grandmother who has always admired: "Sister-in-law, this time you go to Jiangnan, you are the highlight, don't be stupid." After careful consideration, Duan Tingxuan decided to pretend to be a cook, and then took himself The cook's daughter-in-law and the younger brother who is learning cooking went to Mingyu Bieyuan to join his cousin and find a job there by the way, so Su Nuannuan is of course an indispensable role in this, and she has to teach these two What about cooking? The teacher in the mansion is afraid of being found out by interested people, so he can only sharpen his guns in front of the battle, but the young master is a genius, and he is very confident in his learning ability.
It's fine to be despised by Duan Tingxuan, but now even Siping, a slave, dares to despise himself. Grandma's anger grew from her heart to her gallbladder. Completely forgetting the equality of everyone she advocated, she squinted at Siping, and she suggested viciously: "Husband, I think Cheng'er is too clever, it's not good, why don't you let him act like an idiot, and save me I have to work hard to teach him how to cook."
"Big... sister-in-law, please forgive me." Siping was shocked when he heard this. Playing like a fool? He has never done this job. If the difficulty is too high, there will definitely be flaws. For fear that the young master, who is obedient to his wife, will agree with Su Nuannuan's sinister proposal, Siping hurriedly bowed to Su Nuannuan.
"Okay. Don't make trouble, the boat is coming."
Duan Tingxuan glared at Siping, but he didn't follow Su Nuannuan's suggestion, which made Siping feel lucky to have escaped from death.
There are all kinds of traveling merchants and ordinary people visiting relatives and friends on the big ship. Women are not in the minority, Duan Tingxuan, Su Nuannuan and Siping, the "family of three", are not very conspicuous in the crowd. It was smooth sailing along the way. The big boat went down the river, and after three or four days, the scenery along the way changed. It was no longer the early spring when the winter still seemed to be bleak. Gradually there is greenery on the shore, and after another three or four days, it is just when the sun is setting. After passing a peach blossom grove, the owner of the ship is probably from the south of the Yangtze River. I love peach blossoms, so the boat docked and anchored.
Peach blossoms in the setting sun, the river is vast. How can Su Nuannuan, who longs for romance, miss such a beautiful scenery? So he ran out of the cabin with great interest, Duan Tingxuan didn't care much about these beautiful scenery, but his wife liked it, so naturally he had to love the house, so he could only pretend to be happy and accompanied Su Nuannuan to the deck .
"There are not many flowers blooming in this peach forest, but in a few days, it will definitely be as beautiful as the clouds and the clouds. Look, there are still people in the valley in the distance." Smoke curled up from the kitchen, and excitedly lowered his voice to shout at Duan Tingxuan, his tone full of yearning.
"If you like it, I'll let someone buy a house here later. When we have free time in the future, how about we come here to live a leisurely pastoral life for a few days?" In the poem and picture scroll, even he can't help being moved if he can have a loved one to accompany him through the day.
Before he finished speaking, he heard a rough voice laughing behind him: "There are so many beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. What is a peach blossom forest in such a small village? If the virtuous couple want to find a place for the elderly, it is better to go further, Suzhou On the outskirts of Hangzhou, there are many picturesque places. Now the emperor has opened the sea and severely attacked the pirates. That area is no longer the troubled place of the past, but has become a peaceful land of fish and rice. It is the best place to retire there. , it’s just that you are still young, it seems that you don’t need to think about retirement so early, right?”
Looking back, it turned out to be the boss of the boat, Duan Tingxuan smiled and said: "You boatman is really enthusiastic, I was just talking to my wife, but now you are moved by what you said, if there is such a place, why wait for retirement? You can live now."
The boatman laughed and said: "That's right, that's right. Living in such a place, I feel like a fairy." After speaking, he sang loudly: "At that time, it was only recorded in the depths of the mountains. How often did Qingxi reach Yunlin? Spring is full of peach blossom water, no Identify where to find the source of immortality."
This is Wang Wei's Peach Blossom Land poem. Duan Tingxuan and Su Nuannuan looked at each other and smiled. I didn't expect that the boss of the boat knew this poem. He sang it in a folk song, which is somewhat tactful, but the other party's voice is too thick, which sounds a little strange Nondescript.
A few people were talking, when they saw a few guys on the boat coming to the side of the boat, regardless of the cold water, they jumped off shirtless, which only surprised Su Nuannuan, Duan Tingxuan also frowned, the boss of the boat was a little displeased Sorry, rubbed his head and said with a sneer: "Now is the time when puffer fish is the best, these guys can't wait long ago, can't they? I stopped the boat in advance today just to let them catch fish. Abrupt little lady."
Su Nuannuan smiled and said: "It's okay, we are just ordinary people, how can we be so particular. It's just... to catch puffer fish in this weather? Can people bear it? Although it's spring, the river is still very cold, right?"
The boat boss laughed and said, "We all grew up on both sides of this river, not to mention this time, even in winter, sometimes we would jump into the water to catch fish. What is this cold water?"
Even Duan Tingxuan was a little surprised, and Su Nuannuan was also tongue-tied, secretly thinking, I didn't expect, I didn't expect that the guys on this boat were actually a group of winter swimming enthusiasts, but compared with the winter swimming talents in Harbin's ice and snow, their number of segments is not the best. Advanced.
The boss of the boat was probably concerned about the harvest of the guys, so he was a little absent-minded when he spoke. Duan Tingxuan and Su Nuannuan were also curious, so they came to the side of the boat a little far away. There is no such thing to eat in the house, but I don’t know if the boss of this boat has any special skills to clean up puffer fish, if they clean up well, we will buy some to eat, will you cook this kind of fish?”
Su Nuannuan also whispered: "The poison of this puffer fish is all in the blood and viscera. If you can clean up the viscera and clean the viscera, if there is no blood in the meat, you will not be poisoned. Let's wait and see. How to clean it up? If you can clean it up neatly, it will be a blessing. If you buy a few, don’t you say that you will be able to go to Suzhou one day? When the time comes, I will find a place to stay and eat it. I only ate it once when I was a child. , the taste is really delicious.”
"I don't believe it, could it be more delicious than perch?" Duan Tingxuan chuckled, but Su Nuannuan said proudly: "The beauties are different, Aunt Jing and Grandma Lan, can you tell the difference between them? The puffer fish and perch are the same, anyway, you will know when you eat it."
The couple were talking in a low voice, and a few people came out of the cabin in twos and threes. Two women went ashore to pick peach blossoms. Su Nuannuan also wanted to go there, but after thinking about it, compared with peach blossoms and puffer fish, of course puffer fish is better. It's more important, so if you are cruel, you don't care about peach blossoms. This is the logic of foodies.
After about two or three quarters of an hour, I saw those guys jumping up one after another grabbing the side of the boat. It turned out that they each carried a net bag when they entered the water. Those guys threw the net bags to the boat boss, and they all laughed and said: "Uncle Qiang, it depends on your craftsmanship, you must remove the blood, don't let us die just for such a small amount of food."
The boat owner laughed and scolded: "You little bastards, just take it easy. I have been sailing on this canal for more than 30 years. Since I was 20 years old, in what year have I not dealt with a hundred and eighty boats? Puffer fish? You can clean it up with your eyes closed.”
After speaking, he sat on the deck and began to kill fish. He saw that he was skillful in his movements, but he processed four or five fish in a quarter of an hour. Sure enough, as Su Nuannuan said, the blood, internal organs and other poisonous parts were all removed. The processed fish is placed on a large plate and cut open from the middle, revealing the fresh color of green and transparent.
Thinking about Su Nuannuan's words, Duan Tingxuan felt his index finger twitch, and asked loudly, "Boatman, do you sell this fish?"
"Sell it, just keep a few pieces for yourself to eat. Since you can make money, why don't you make money?" After handing it to a guy, he squatted down and picked the fish with Su Nuannuan. Amidst the two people's discussions of "this... this is fat..." and "this... this is fresh...", the guys rolled their eyes frequently, and their hearts were full. It's so funny, hey, you just fished it out of the river, but you found a stale one to show us, besides, this puffer fish just started in spring and has been raised for a winter, can it not be fat
They don't know that this is just the fun of Duan Tingxuan and Su Nuannuan. For foodies, what could be more satisfying than choosing the coveted ingredients? Because I have selected six fat puffer fish, put them in net bags, and asked Siping to put them away in the cabin, but unfortunately there is no small kitchen on board, otherwise Su Nuannuan really wants to show her hands now, and the young master is also a little impatient, just thinking of this time Traveling bears heavy responsibilities, it is best not to attract attention, so as to suppress the greedy heart.
