I didn't intend to be a Fairy
Chapter 412 Hometown Love
This is really a remote and wild place, most of the natives can't speak official language, Song You felt deeply when he came here——
It's hard to find someone to ask directions.
Those who can be found are often people from other states, either to serve as officials, or to do business, or to flee from the north. Correspondingly, it is also difficult for them to meet the original person, let alone a Taoist who can talk freely, so every time they talk to Song You, they are very happy, and when Song You finishes asking the way, they will pull Song You to ask Many things about the Central Plains or hometown.
Later Song You learned to be smart——
When you ask for directions, you can find a big shop or a government office.
The officials and merchants of Dayan himself are friendly to Taoists, let alone this remote and wild place.
It is the same today.
Song You arrived at the official yamen in Lan'an County. He reported his name to indicate his purpose and said he wanted to ask for directions. The natives at the gate just went in to report. After a while, the local county magistrate came out to greet him in person.
The county magistrate was also from Yizhou. His surname was Lu. He was fat and was sweating profusely due to the heat.
Seeing Song You was a passion.
That kind of enthusiasm does not come from high or low status, nor does it come from magical powers, nor does it even come from Dayan's respect for Taoists, but from his being a native of his hometown.
It's actually homesickness.
Song You had already seen the direction of the sea. He wanted to simply ask how to go to the sea and where is the most convenient way to go to the sea, and then walked straight to the sea, but unexpectedly, Lu Zhi County insisted on keeping him, so he went to ask his wife to give him a hand. Prepare the room, wine and food, and leave him to talk at night.
Song You saw his heart clearly, so he didn't make any further excuses.
When the food was ready, Lu Zhixian sat with him.
There is a pot of boiled chicken on the table. If you look closely, you will find that it is not clear water, but coconut water. You can also see shredded coconut meat, a plate of grilled pork ribs and pig tails, and a plate of fresh lychees with water. I didn't see any special products in the sea, but I knew that Song You brought a three-colored cat with him on the tour, and prepared a sea fish for the cat.
With the dim light of the sky and the oil lamp, Lu Zhixian held the chopsticks but didn't care to move them, and only cared about talking with Song You.
The cat on the bench was also looking at the fish in the bowl from up to down, left, and right, and saw that it was long and flat, with some reflections on its body.
"Someone Lu from Lingquan County has been there before. It's a good place. I heard that there is a Taoist temple in Lingquan County. It's very, um, very miraculous."
"But on Yinyang Mountain?"
"Oh, that's right! That's the one!" Lu Zhixian's eyes almost lit up, "Could it be..."
"It should be my Taoist temple."
"That's really destined." Lu Zhixian paused for a while, "It's a pity that at that time, um, I was just passing by, and I didn't go to offer two sticks of incense."
"The magistrate must have heard that the Taoist temple is not effective?"
"a ha ha ha……"
Lu Zhixian raised his head and smiled heartily.
Then it suddenly occurred to me that I was only engrossed in chatting with my fellow countrymen, and for a while I forgot to entertain the guests, so I hurriedly said, "Please sir! Please don’t be polite to me, sir, if I have not entertained well, I must have neglected to entertain guests and forgot, please don’t forgive me, sir, please be considerate of me!”
"Where..."
"This chicken is a local chicken. It is boiled in coconut water. Although it is a bit bland, it is better than tender and sweet, and it has a special flavor." Luzhi County paused, "There is very little mutton here, so it is also delicious." It is impossible to use mutton to entertain the husband. Fortunately, the local pigs here grow up eating plantains. Although they are small in size, the meat quality is quite good, and there is not much fishy smell. Got it!"
"The magistrate is too particular."
Song You picked up the chopsticks, followed what he said, and tasted the coconut chicken and roast pork in turn.
What Luzhi County said was really good. The coconut chicken has a light taste, with the sweetness of coconut water, and it is very good without the smell of chicken. Pork ribs are roasted to a half-burnt level, even if there is a bit of fishy smell, it will be removed by high-temperature roasting and covered by the burnt aroma. Heavy meaty aroma, delicious with just a sprinkle of salt.
But what interested him most was the plate of lychees.
Song You peeled one, it was very sweet.
And it was only at this time that he separated his eyes, looked down at his cat, and saw that she took the first bite tentatively, and whispered to her: "This is hairtail, a type of sea fish, just eat it. "
"Sir, you come from Yizhou, and you also have research on sea fish?"
"I just heard about it. I heard that the sea is rich in fish and shrimp. It's quite strange. This time I came here to see it." Song You replied.
"Ha ha!"
The magistrate of Lu County raised his head and smiled when he heard the words, and said to him: "Fish and shrimp in the sea are indeed rare to the mainland. When Lu first came here, he also thought that fish and shrimp could be a good meal, but after a long time, these things are very delicious. It’s easy to get bored, but it’s the lack of supplies here, and it’s difficult to want to eat something else, with other flavors.”
Only after hearing this did Song You realize how rare the table prepared by Luzhi County was.
"We have traveled so far, and heard that there are many strange rumors overseas, so we want to go to the sea to see, try our luck, and see if we can see those strange things with our own eyes, so I want to ask the county magistrate, where did the sea from Lan'an County come from? It’s convenient, how about renting a boat?”
"Huh? Do you want to go to sea, sir?"
The magistrate of Lu county was stunned when he heard the words.
"Exactly..."
"Sir, did you hear about the Lilliputian Yasha Kingdom or about the Sea Demon Sea Dragon King?"
"I've heard about it." Song You paused for a moment, "I also heard that Lan'an County, under the administration of the county magistrate, is the most prosperous and prosperous, and it is the most convenient to go to sea, so I came here."
"That's not easy."
Lu Zhixian was not proud of his compliment, but frowned: "If you just want to go out to sea for fun, such as fishing, go straight down, find any fishing village, find a fisherman, and give some money. They took their husbands out to sea, and even if someone from Lu Xiumu, they would be happy to bring a pot of wine and play with him, but if he wanted to find the things he just said, he would have to go deep into the sea for a hundred or two hundred Only in..."
"Oh? Isn't it convenient?"
"In the past, it was fine, and there were special people to do these businesses. But last year, I heard that a big monster came from the sea and fought with the Sea Dragon King. Later, the Sea Dragon King became very moody. It was fine for the first two months, but from the last two or three From the beginning of the month, people who go out to run a boat, but whoever ran far away, seldom come back, and I don’t know if they were hit by storms or sea monsters, or angered the Sea Dragon King..."
"So I can only buy a boat and go to sea?"
"So going out to sea is very dangerous!" Lu Zhixian said earnestly, "Sir, don't go out!"
"Don't be alarmed, magistrate, traveling the world downstream, he naturally has some skills, but he is not afraid of sea monsters and waves. As for the real dragon on the sea, I really want to pay a visit." Song You said with a smile, "Besides, all of you have come here It’s here, but it has to go out.”
"Sir, even if he knows some spells, the Sea Dragon King is the master Dragon King. The biggest ship is like a plaything by his side, but it is by no means something that can be dealt with by ordinary people!"
"Don't worry about the county magistrate..." Song You could feel the sincerity in his tone, so he said to him sincerely, "To be honest, I'm going to sea, and I'm looking for something. If the Sea Dragon King is a real dragon, he's grown up. If I don't have the knowledge, I won't be afraid of him, but this object must be found."
"This... oops..."
The magistrate of Lu didn't ask any more questions, and didn't persuade him much, he just said to him: "Then we really have to buy a boat and go to sea, but I'm afraid it will be very difficult to meet someone who is willing to go to sea for my husband."
"Then I have to do it myself."
"Well, it seems that the master is very determined." Lu Zhixian sighed and said to him, "The sea was very rough some time ago, and recently there are fewer people who dare to go out of the deep sea. Many people who rely on the sea to make a living are hard If you want to live on, if you want to buy a boat, it will be convenient, as for the price, I will find a native in the yamen to accompany you to buy it, maybe you can get a fair price."
"Thank you magistrate."
"Why do you need to talk about this?" Lu Zhixian said, "Mr. can row a boat and find directions, right?"
"There is a swallow who is traveling with me, and it is very good at finding directions, but it will not get lost at sea." Song You said, "As for rowing, I have to practice in the sea for a few days. Crab and Mussel are very interested, and it would be good to take her fishing."
"this……"
The magistrate of Lu immediately became more worried.
Seeing this, Song You smiled slightly, picked up a lychee, and said to him, "This lychee is still available in Yizhou, but it's very rare in Changjing."
"yes……"
"But it's better to eat iced."
"Ice some?"
"Exactly."
Song You gently fanned the plate of lychees with his hand.
There was a sudden chill in the room.
Lu Zhixian found it very novel, and quickly reached out to touch the lychee, but his hand trembled as soon as he touched it——
The lychee was already cold, as if it had been frozen.
"Sir, you are very capable."
"It's just some tricks of the rivers and lakes. I'm showing my ugliness. I hope that I can give the magistrate some new experiences and talk about it in return for the magistrate's hospitality."
Song You peeled the lychee in his hand while talking, but he didn't put it into his mouth, but took it down and handed it to his cat on the bench. When he eats the second one, there is always a fishy smell on his hand.
"Sir, you might as well stay here for a few more days."
"Thank you magistrate for your kind invitation, but I'm satisfied to stay in Chengzhi county for one night, so I don't want to stay longer." Song You said and paused, "Looking at the sky below, I think the weather is very good these days, so I'll go buy a boat tomorrow and spend time by the seaside. After playing and fishing for a few days, I went to sea."
"The weather is good these days? There are still dark clouds overhead tonight."
"It's just a little rain tonight, and it will be sunny tomorrow."
"Um……"
The magistrate of Lu County was dubious.
But it was just a stranger who met for the first time. Although he wanted to stay with him and talk to him more, but seeing that he had made up his mind, he didn't want to persuade him much, so he just toasted him.
Immediately, the magistrate of Lu asked him about his hometown in Yizhou, the affairs of the Changjing court, power disputes, and the floods in Fengzhou and Yaozhou. Song You also asked him about more strange things at sea and along the coast. The county magistrate also often dealt with these things, and the truth must be weighed. From what he said, it was not bad.
The sanhua cat has been squatting on the bench, lowering its head and seriously fighting against the hairtail. It only stretches its neck and raises its head to stare at it when it hears something it is interested in, such as cooking chicken in coconut water or going fishing on the beach. They glance.
