Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 39 Digging in the Mud

The next day, Zhao Zhen first practiced mountain-splitting stick technique with Han Bolong. After learning, he went to the front hall to have breakfast. Yesterday Zhu Sha spoke in general terms, but today Zhu Sha reported in detail. The catches have all been placed, and the fishermen have all rested.

Zhao Yuanli said: "The forty-two fishermen who came with the three Ruan brothers were also arranged in the village, and the fishing boats they brought were all small fishing boats, and they were all parked on the dock. The Ruan brothers also divided their families, and the hero Ruan Xiaowu He and Ruan Xiaoqi have not yet gotten married, so they are arranged to live in the east courtyard. Ruan Xiaoer and his wife live in the same house to support their mother. They also have an adopted son named Ruan Liang, who was arranged to live in the west courtyard yesterday to keep company with Bai Duo's family."

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said: "Now there are fewer people and they can still live in open spaces. I'm afraid there will be a lot of inconvenience in the future. Let's find a larger house next to the manor and let Ruan Xiaoer's family move out. It won't save a lot of money. comfortable."

He hesitated and then said: "As for the Bai family, let's take a look and find a house nearby the hospital."

Zhao Yuanli said: "Master, during the day the four members of the Bai family were in the hospital for consultation. Now they have dug a snake pit in Xikua Hospital and put down the vipers. It is inconvenient to move out."

"In that case, let's do it." Zhao Zhen said.

Zhao Zhen said: "Go to the warehouse to get some cloth. The new farmers and the fishermen who came with the Ruan brothers will each send one piece. The three Ruan brothers will also send two pieces each. Then let the farmer who is a good female worker in the village work with Li Xiao The Erhun family worked together to make tailor-made clothes for each of the three brothers."

Then he said: "I happened to get three more big fish. I took a big carp and made a whole fish feast for seven heroes today. The village manager, Sun Zheng, Li Gu, Zhong Rang, etc. also asked people to give one as a gift. Go fish.”

Zhao Yuanli agreed and went to make arrangements himself.

At You hour, everyone came to sit in the front yard. Vegetables and snacks had been placed on the table. Soon, sixteen fish dishes were served one after another. Everyone was drinking and chatting, Guang Hui said: "There is another full-fish feast today, all thanks to Brother Zhusha's fishing skills."

Zhao Zhen said: "There is only one medium-sized fishing boat in the village. We dare to go fishing in the depths of the lake as a team. We can't catch a few of these 100 kilograms of fish in a month. This time, thanks to the help of the Ruan brothers, we caught more." Two big carps. Normally we don’t see them twice a year.”

Ruan Xiaoer said: "We were born in Shijie Village and grew up in Shijie Lake. Liangshan Boli is also our bathhouse. The village owner's land is bounded by a stream and a large lake, which is connected to the same water. We also caught a lot of big fish, most of them went to They are sold in the market town, occasionally eaten, and stewed randomly. How can you see so many varieties? It is a real treat today." Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi agreed.

When the wine was half drunk, Ruan Xiaoqi was straightforward and cheerful. He couldn't help but said to Zhao Zhen: "Master, I'm talking to brother Bao Xu today. He has been here not long ago. Now he has a job. Our brothers also want to work in the village." Ask for a job here and there." As he spoke, the three brothers stood up and bowed together.

Zhao Zhen quickly helped the three of them up and said: "It's not that we don't arrange duties for the three brothers. I just saw the brothers running around and working hard. I will only wait for the brothers to rest for two days before discussing it. Since I mentioned this today, I will talk to the three brothers. Now Guanghui, Jiao Ting, Han Bolong, and Bao Xu are all coaches at the village. Usually the coach Zhuang Ding also has other things. For example, the Guanghui brothers are building a manor and a pagoda temple in Baishigang this year. Brother Hui went to guard here, brother Han Bolong also ran the tavern business in the village; brother Bao Xu took some villagers to garrison Kushu Tun in the northwest, and brother Jiao Ting garrisoned Zhuangzi.

The four brothers are all tigers on land, but they lack brothers who are like dragons in the water. We also invite the three brothers to serve as instructors and select some brave fishermen who dare to fight to teach them some water kung fu and become sailors. Help me expand the territory of this place. My brother and I have the same temperament and the same spirit. It's just that I have to ask my brother to also serve as the fishing manager. There is no need for the three brothers to worry about trivial matters. I will let Cinnabar be the manager to help you and so on.

There are four-bearded carps in the big lake in the north, which are excellent spiritual creatures. Eating one carp can strengthen your physical condition. Firstly, it is a designated autumn tax credit item in Yuncheng County. Secondly, brothers and I can also enjoy it. Even getting the main world is a good deal. What do you think of this matter, brother? "

When the three Ruan brothers heard this, they were all happy and agreed without any hesitation.

Ruan Xiaoer said: "We are originally fishermen. For us, fishing is the skill of making food. It is the most suitable for us. The uncles and brothers we brought here are also from fishermen. Come and fish with me."

Ruan Xiaowu said: "I have the strength to eat spiritual fish. This Shijie Lake is connected to Liangshan Lake. There is also a spiritual creature, which is used to drill in the mud. This thing is rare, but it requires people to explore in the mud at the bottom of the water. I There is one on the boat waiting for me to fetch it and present it to the owner of the village." He stood up as he spoke.

Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi also stood up: "I also have one on my boat." After saying this, everyone laughed. Within a moment, the three Ruan brothers each fetched a catfish. Zhao Zhen looked around and saw that Ruan Xiaoqi had the biggest one, Ruan Xiaoer had the smallest one, and Ruan Xiaowu was in the middle.

  Eight-bearded catfish

Spiritual objects belong to Shijie Lake. They are often found in the mud and are drilled in the mud.

The spirit does not exceed 25, and it can be increased a little by eating one kilogram.

Zhao Zhen shouted: "It's a good spiritual creature, but it's a pity that I can't feed it."

Li Xiaoer was immediately summoned and told to make the stew into one pot, and to put it all in bowls and divide it into bowls weighing one catty. Li Xiaoer carried the three fish down.

The Ruan brothers came to the table, and everyone in Jiao Ting came to persuade them. They drank more than ten bowls of wine from the big bowl. Within an hour, Li Xiaoer asked two young men to carry two trays, each containing seven bowls, and put them on the table. .

Li Xiaoer said: "The owner of the village cleaned everything carefully. Except for the gills of the fish, he squeezed out the dirt in the belly, along with the fish bubbles, fish blood, fish intestines, etc., and made fourteen bowls. The small one weighed two kilograms, and the large one seven kilograms." The middle one weighs five kilograms. The largest one has a jade ring in its belly." After saying this, he handed it to Zhao Zhen, who didn't have time to take a closer look, so he put it in his sleeve.

Everyone laughed after hearing Li Xiaoer's words, and Li Xiaoer looked confused. Zhao Zhen said to Li Xiaoer, "It's none of your business. The number of pounds corresponds to the names of Xiaoer, Xiaowu, and Qi. Isn't it God's will?"

Everyone laughed again.

Zhao Zhen asked everyone at the table to take a bowl each, but San Ruan refused, saying that they had already eaten and it was of little use to the three of them. Zhao Zhen asked: "How does it taste?"

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "It's so delicious. Even without salt, it's still tastier than other fish."

Zhao Zhen insisted on letting San Ruan eat a bowl each and said: "Then I will eat a bowl. Although it does not increase the attributes, it is still a rare delicacy."

Ruan Xiaoer wanted to refuse, but Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Damn it, just eat it once, brother, don't refuse."

Zhao Zhen said: "Xiao Qi is still satisfied." Eight of the good guys at the table took a bowl. Zhao Zhen saw that there were still six bowls left, so he said to Zhao Yuanli: "Take three bowls and give them to Sun Zheng, Li Gu and Brother Yun. Li Xiaoer, take two bowls and go down with your wife to enjoy them. I'll wait for a drink at the farm. You and your wife have worked very hard, so it's a reward for waiting. I don't think your wife can become a hero and go one step further than you. Miles."

After hearing this, Li Xiaoer knelt down in front of Zhao Zhen and said thank you to the owner of the village for his cultivation. I took two bowls of fish and went down carefully.

Zhao Zhen looked at the remaining bowl of eight-bearded catfish and said to Zhao Yuanli: "Send it to the west courtyard so that Bai Langzhong can also have a taste."
