fish street dad

"Why are you so happy? You bought so many crabs?" When he was off work in the evening, Wang Kunfeng brought a few fish from the pier as usual, and when he saw his fiancé carrying a basket of big crabs, his eyes almost burst into laughter. Can't see it anymore.

This is really the sun coming out from the west, this river mussel actually buys crabs to eat?Aren't you afraid that the crab spirit will break off with him?

"Recently, the Fenghe minnows are on the market. I hired a boat and asked Xie Huang to buy the minnows for me. It will take at least seven or eight days to go back and forth. While he is away, let's eat crabs for a few days! "Bai Chunsheng smiled contentedly.

It's not easy!Seeing crabs on the market, but unable to eat because there is a crab essence at home, it is really painful!Fortunately, he was clever enough to come up with such a way to "tune the tiger away from the mountain".

As soon as he sent the crab essence away, he immediately went to Yujie with his money bag to buy half a basket of large crabs with green shells that he just caught today. This kind of crabs are a bit like the famous Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs in later generations. They are big and fat with green shells and white shells. The belly is full of teeth and claws, and the meat looks delicious, carrying crabs along the way, Bai Chunsheng's saliva almost couldn't hold back.

I think back then he would feel uncomfortable if he didn’t eat crab once a month, such as king crab, queen crab, swimming crab, blue crab, bread crab, hairy crab, hairy crab, Taihu crab... For the second generation who have money and no place to spend like them For me, eating a meal of crabs is as common as buying a bottle of mineral water!

Unexpectedly, since he came here, made bad friends by mistake, and became friends with that timid crab spirit, he never ate crabs again, it made everyone cry!

Now, after finally tricking that sensitive and fragile crab essence away, while he's not around, shopkeeper Bai wants to eat as much as he can in one sitting!Steamed big crabs, salt baked crabs, spicy crabs, crab porridge, dry pot spicy crabs... all of them must be eaten once!

"Are you a rice field crab? Tomorrow, I'll send someone to bring over some yellow crabs. While Lao Xie is away, you can eat it quickly, and you won't be able to eat it when he comes back." Wang Kunfeng looked at him with a greedy look on his face. Son, can't help feeling a little funny.

"Okay, okay! Send more female crabs. Today these are males. The female crabs of rice field crabs will not be available for sale until half a month later." Bai Chunsheng said regretfully.Although this kind of rice field crab is not the biggest, it tastes a little bigger than ordinary river crabs and has more meat.

"If you really want to eat crabs from time to time, you might as well send that crab spirit to buy from a boat. It's easier than him working in a restaurant. You spend most of the time outside every month. When he's not here, how many crabs do you want to eat? All done." Wang Kunfeng suggested with a smile.

"That won't work! Old Xie is too honest. I'm afraid he will be easily deceived when he goes out. There are a lot of bad people out there now." Although he was very moved by this proposal, Bai Chunsheng still couldn't do anything to sacrifice his friends to satisfy his appetite.

"You are good to this crab spirit..." Uncle Cat snorted coldly.

"What flying vinegar are you eating? Lao Xie and I are good brothers!" Bai Chunsheng rolled his eyes at him, and when he passed by Jishi Medicine Hall, he went in and robbed some high-quality peppercorns and other spices.

Ever since he knew that this Jishi Medicine Hall was also owned by Mr. Cat, Bai Chunsheng had regarded it as his own seasoning shop, and whenever he had nothing to do, he came here to find some cooking spices he was familiar with in his previous life. Dr. Mao couldn't help but get a headache every time he saw him.

"Speaking of which, is Dr. Mao a human or a demon?" Bai Chunsheng asked in a low voice after coming out of Jishi Medicine Hall.

"He's also a half-demon, a descendant of a human race and a cat demon." Wang Kunfeng reminded softly, "So, it's fine to bully him once in a while, don't recruit him, or I won't be able to do justice to you if he scratches me." , after all, they are elders."

"Got it, go back quickly, I'm going to show my skills tonight! By the way, go and invite San Lang and Mrs. Gong over. San Lang hasn't eaten the crabs I made yet."

"You just miss Sanlang and the others?" Wang Kunfeng looked at him motionlessly, almost unable to hide the dissatisfaction on his face.

"I'll make you a steamed dumpling with crab roe when I come back from the crab tomorrow..." Bai Chunsheng coaxed, "I'll eat it for you alone, not for Saburo and the others."

The narrow-minded uncle cat was finally satisfied, he put the fish in his hand by the well, and went out to inform Saburo. He passed by a restaurant on the way and bought two jars of fruit wine. He remembered that Bai Chunsheng liked it very much last time. Fruit wine, it's a pity that there are no wild fruits for brewing this fruit wine locally. Next time, I can ask someone to bring some back and hide it at home. That silly river mussel is very enthusiastic when drunk... Cough!

In the evening, Bai Chunsheng really cooked a crab feast, steamed crabs with some fruit wine, big meat, dipped in a simple dipping sauce made with rice vinegar and minced ginger, it was very delicious, and there was a layer of fried sweet potatoes underneath Spicy crab, fried crab with oily chili, baked crab with egg yolk... Wang Kunfeng also cleaned up the few fish brought back, and made a large pot of porridge with fish fillets, plus a basket of fried crispy Fried fish fillets, a big pot of boiling fish fillets.

Saburo is so big, it is the first time to eat crabs. At first, he didn’t dare to eat it, but he couldn’t stop after taking a bite. The crab legs fried with chili, after biting, take a bite, The mouth is full of fresh fragrance. The crabs in this season are meaty and plump. There is even a lot of meat on the crab legs. The people at the table will chat a few words at the beginning, but then they can’t care about talking and take it wholeheartedly. There the crabs are peeled and eaten.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, and a table of crab feast is almost eaten. Looking at the table full of crab shells and legs, everyone looks at each other. I don’t know who is the first to laugh. The table full of people can’t help laughing .

"Brother Xie, if you see us eating so many crabs, I'm afraid I'll move away tonight~" Sanlang's mouth was rosy, and his eyes were shining, looking very lively, Mrs. Gong was also there While smiling, he wiped the spicy oil and crab meat from his son's nails.

"So, while he is away these few days, let's just have a good time and eat a few more meals! When he comes back, we won't be able to eat such plump crabs." Bai Chunsheng thought of the cream crab that Master Cat promised him tomorrow, and endured it. He couldn't help licking the corner of his mouth.

"How can you eat crab without wine? I just made a few jars of chrysanthemum brewing, and I'll bring some over to you for a taste tomorrow, and then I'll make some delicate snacks and make a pot of ginger tea." Mrs. Gong said with a smile, When she was in her natal family back then, Pingnanhou's Mansion was not as prominent as it is now. It was just an ordinary general's family, and there were not so many rules. The whole family sat together lively and eating together every day. What's up.

Ever since the prince and concubine sent Sanlang to another hospital, and she repeatedly wrote letters home asking for help, but the family ignored her, Mrs. Gong had less contact with her natal family.She knew the helplessness of her natal family. After all, Pingnanhou's mansion was just a new rich man without much background. It was fine outside, but when she went to the imperial city, she could only rely on Prince Yu's mansion.

She did resent her in the past, but now that she is reunited with Saburo, she doesn't want to dwell on the past anymore. It is serious to live with Saburo. too much.

The rest of her life is too short, she doesn't want to waste too much time on those insignificant people.

"Chrysanthemum stuffing?" Bai Chunsheng's eyes lit up.

"A few days ago, I accompanied my mother to worship the Buddha in the temple. I happened to encounter a field of wild yellow chrysanthemums. There was nothing wrong with the mountain. My mother and I picked a lot of fresh yellow chrysanthemums and made some chrysanthemums. We thought about waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival. At that time, each family shared a jar to taste." Saburo explained.

"If I knew it, I would have gone with you. It's rare to see chrysanthemums blooming so early in this season. It's good to pick some and make some chrysanthemum tea." Bai Chunsheng regretted.

"It happens that I don't have to go to work in the future, why don't I go to the Stone Buddha Temple with you? I remember that there is a hillside facing the sun and it is very warm. I think the third brother and the others must have met the yellow chrysanthemums that bloomed in advance there. "

"Brother guessed right, it is the sunny hillside, and there are many wild persimmon trees over there. When we passed by, we saw a lot of persimmons hanging on the trees. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, we can go there to pick persimmons and eat them. "San Lang said with a smile, he will be very good at climbing trees after he becomes a cat, and he will be able to climb to the highest place and pick the sweetest persimmons there.

"Then let's go for a visit in the future. It just so happens that the chili sauce at the workshop is almost done. Let them do the rest of the jars. I've been tired for several days, so I should relax. It's gone." Bai Chunsheng felt that he hadn't given himself a holiday for a long time, thinking back when he was demolishing the second generation, but 365 days a year, every day was a holiday.

The next day, Mr. Cat really kept his promise. Early in the morning, he ordered his subordinates to send over two large baskets of fresh crabs, all of which were mother crabs with lumpy navels. The veteran crab lover, Mr. Bai, couldn’t wait until the evening, so he ordered them at noon. After steaming more than a dozen, I shared it with Saburo who came over to eat after smelling the smell.

"Sanlang, do you have any plans for the future?" After eating the crabs, Sanlang was fine, so he helped him here, cleaned the crabs with a brush, kept them in clean water, and waited to eat at night.

"Not yet. My mother was probably terrified in the past. She needs to see me every day to be at ease. I can't leave her behind to learn how to run a business with my elder brother. Besides, cough! Brother Chunsheng, you don't know, My mother brought out her dowry and the valuable things from my grandfather's family over the years. I figured that even if I didn't do anything, relying on those things would be enough to live a life without worry. "

"So I thought, don't think too much about it for the time being, and stay with my mother first. When my mother gets better, I can either open a shop or buy some fertile land to live on. I can't just sit and eat."

"Speaking of the shop, I have a business here that I want you to do." Bai Chunsheng stood up and wiped his hands, went to the room and brought some papers, "Sanlang, come and have a look."

"What is this?"

"These are some common household pottery utensils I came up with." Bai Chunsheng pointed to the design drawings he had drawn, "That's right, our workshop has been custom-made pottery pots in the kiln factory in the downstream town before. To be transported by boat, the cost of transportation alone is not low, plus the cost of handling at the dock, you also know that after our workshop is established, tens of thousands of pottery pots are used every year, and then they are taken to the kiln downstream. Factory custom-made, let them earn money for nothing, and the cost pressure on my side is also very high.”

"So, brother Chunsheng, you mean to let me open a kiln by myself?"

"Exactly! But, you're not driving alone, let's drive together." Bai Chunsheng smiled, "I have blueprints and patterns, you have the capital, and your brother has a wide range of people, let him find us a few with good craftsmanship." The pottery master, please hire some small workers, and our kiln can be opened."

"When our kiln is opened, you can also buy a shop in the town, which specializes in selling all kinds of pottery for household use."

"This pottery is not expensive. If it is placed in a shop, can it be sold?"

"Are you stupid? The left and right shops belong to my own family, and it doesn't cost much money. Besides, the pottery is not easy to break. If it really can't be sold, it won't be a loss if we take it home and use it for ourselves. I have a whole set of pottery. , the most simple and elegant, you believe brother, once this thing is fired, those literati will definitely like it after seeing it."

The pottery that Bai Chunsheng wants to sell in the shop is naturally not the rough big pottery bowl with two copper plates and one in the ordinary people's house in this time and space, but a set of handmade pottery pots, tea pots, teacups and teapots. There are also simple and elegant brush wash pen holders and the like.

He had discovered this business opportunity in the food shop before. Among the many foreign guests who passed by on the passenger ship, nine out of ten were literate. Presumably, they were not rich and reluctant to take the passenger ship, but took the cheapest one. Passing by merchant ships, how could a well-to-do family be reluctant to teach their children to read and write?After these guests disembark, apart from tasting some local snacks, the greatest pleasure is to find some local products, or some simple, elegant, earthy and uncommon things, and bring them as souvenirs when they go out.

No matter which dynasty, the specialty shops in tourist attractions are the most profitable.

What he wants to earn is not the local people's money at all, but those foreign local tyrants who want to travel around the mountains and rivers when they have nothing to do.

"Besides, even if I don't sell these, the kiln factory just supplies my workshop every year, and the money earned is no less than that of your shop." Bai Chunsheng persuaded, originally he could do this business by himself, but he was lazy. I feel that these two businesses in the family are enough to support him to live comfortably in this strange time and space. No matter how much property he has, he will be exhausted. As a late-stage patient with lazy cancer, Shopkeeper Bai said that as long as he has enough money, he will have more money. In order to put it in the bank, I don't know who will be cheaper after my death.

"That's fine, I'll go back and ask my mother, if my mother agrees, I'll open a kiln factory." Knowing his mother's background, Saburo felt that his mother would definitely agree, after all, before his mother still took He offered a jade pendant that was said to be worth 5000 taels of silver for him to wear, but he rejected it. There were so many people on the pier, and if they went out wearing such an eye-catching jade pendant, wouldn't they be waiting to be robbed?

Sure enough, when Mrs. Gong heard that this was what shopkeeper Bai meant, she agreed without even thinking about it. However, for a worthless kiln factory, buying land, plus hiring a few master craftsmen and a dozen small workers, the full budget is only a thousand dollars. Take the two silver coins, whether you make a profit or lose money, just treat it as a play for Saburo. I think that when he was in the palace, Wulang, who was born by Zhang side concubine, liked to play hydrangea, so he bought a gem hydrangea from a Persian businessman. It cost 3000 taels of silver.

Her Saburo has suffered so much outside these years, why has he ever bought such an expensive toy?

Mrs. Gong is like an old grandmother who dotes on her children, wishing to buy back all the toys the children like.But a mere 1000 taels of silver, even if it is thrown into the water for Saburo to smile, is worth it. What's more, this child has always been sensible and never spends money recklessly. It's all right now, son want to do some serious business?Must support!

Mrs. Gong immediately took out 5000 taels of silver bills, and asked him to buy a bigger place, so that if the kiln needs to be expanded in the future, there is no need to bother to buy it. Some people will move here. When the time comes, if we want to expand, we will have to buy land from these people and let them move, which is not a small amount of money.

"Thank you, mother!" Saburo also thought of this, Dang even accepted the bank note, turned around and went to discuss with his elder brother about buying the land.

"It's not easy to buy such a big piece of land," Wang Kunfeng said after thinking for a while, "Don't ask people first, if they find out that you want to buy it, they will raise the price. I'll go find the brothers in the yamen and see See if anyone has committed a crime and wants to sell the land."

Uncle Cat really deserves to be a bully in Yujie, the schemer is so aboveboard.I paid two taels of silver, and invited some brothers in the yamen to go to the restaurant for a banquet. The next day, someone came to pass the news to me. More than 100 mu of land "donated" to the Yamen.

"Brother Kun, our county magistrate is not a local, and he might be promoted in two years. This time, the young son of Prince Yu's mansion was rescued in this county. Needless to say, the evaluation of the county magistrate must be top-notch. Once it is in the hands of the Elder Master, it must be resold, you just wait."

Sure enough, within a few days, the housekeeper of the county grandpa's family let out the news that the family was going to buy a house in the state capital, and they were short of several hundred taels of silver, and they were going to sell a field outside the city, because the field The quality is not very good, and the price is 100 taels for more than 500 mu of land.

Who dares to bargain for the land of the county grandpa's family?Those who felt that it was worthless shrank their heads and refused to speak. Wang Kunfeng asked the black fish spirit to come forward and bought the land from the county magistrate's housekeeper, and put it under the name of San Lang.

The land is easy to buy, but masters with good craftsmanship are hard to find. Wang Kunfeng has sent his men down to inquire around. It doesn't matter if you are older. As long as the craftsmanship is there, you can always bring a few apprentices out, right?

Compared with the third brother's kiln factory, taking his fiancé out for fun is serious business.

As a not-so-famous city, Qinghe County really doesn't have any famous scenic spots worthy of being praised by the outside world. The only one is probably the Stone Buddha Temple on the hill outside the town.

This Stone Buddha Temple appeared in the previous dynasty. Legend has it that a monk from a traveling party passed by here and stayed overnight in the mountains. A temple was built here to sing the Buddha's voice, so there was this stone Buddhist temple.

In fact, it is a small hill with an altitude of less than 300 meters. There is only a small temple built of stones on the hill. Because of this legend, the incense is more prosperous than other places, but it is far less than the famous big temples in the imperial city.

Bai Chunsheng and Wang Kunfeng are both vulgar demons, and they didn't come here to worship the Buddha. They came here for a picnic and to pick wild chrysanthemums to make tea.

In view of the tender body of a certain mussel that is afraid of the sun, the two of them got up early and rushed to the foot of the mountain before the sun came out. They left the mule cart at the farmer's house at the foot of the mountain, and then went up the mountain with their things. up.

This mountain is not a famous mountain or river, and it is not a day to worship Buddha. There are not many people in the mountain. Occasionally, three or two farmers at the foot of the mountain can be seen planting some peppers, garlic seeds and the like in the mountain area opened up by the mountainside. There are many wild animals in the mountain. Sweet potatoes and corn are easy to be eaten by wild animals, and there are only irritating plants such as mountain peppers and garlic, and no animals will steal them.

"The air in the mountains is so comfortable!" Taking a deep breath, Bai Chunsheng sighed contentedly, feeling the rich dew in the mountains.

"There is water in the south, and there are clouds and mists every morning and evening. I think you are very suitable to live there."

"Why is that so difficult? When I earn enough pension money, where can I go?"

"Let's go, I've seen the wild chrysanthemum." The mountain is not big, and the two big men didn't walk far before they saw the bright yellow on the hillside not far away.

"It's so beautiful here!" Under the morning sun, clusters of small yellow chrysanthemums are stained with dew, and they are half-opened, so they are very suitable for picking to make wild chrysanthemum tea.In his previous life, Bai Chunsheng often accompanied his grandmother to the mountains to pick wild chrysanthemums like this and come back to make tea. Naturally, he knew that it was best to choose the ones that hadn't fully bloomed.

The two squatted there, and a basket was full after picking them.Wang Kunfeng took the sack he carried with him and poured the flowers in the basket into it. When the bag was full, it was almost time for lunch.

"You rest here for a while, I'll get some firewood." Wang Kunfeng followed the sound of spring water in the mountains, and found a spring pit about half a person deep, let Bai Chunsheng rest here, and he went to the forest I went looking for dry wood.

Real life is not the film and television drama that Bai Chunsheng watched in his previous life. Just cut down a tree and it can be used as firewood. When wet firewood is burned, the smoke can be used as wolf smoke. Those who don’t know think that there is a wildfire in the mountains. In addition to smoking mosquitoes There is no other use, so Wang Kunfeng went to the forest to find the kind of branches that would naturally fall after dying, and that could be used to make firewood for cooking.

Bai Chunsheng brought two bamboo tubes. Inside the bamboo tubes were rice and vegetables prepared early in the morning. The openings were stuffed with bamboo slices. When the time came, they could be placed by the fire to make some bamboo tube rice, which would be the staple food.It is not convenient to get other food outside. He made some pancakes last night, and a jar of sweet noodle sauce fried with minced meat and dried beans. Later, he will bake the noodle cakes on the fire until both sides are golden, and then cut them open. Finally, take some fried sauce and stuff it in. It's simple and delicious, but you don't have a pot, and you won't be able to make soup later.Unlike in the previous life, even various soups can be made into portable ones, just brew them with boiling water.

"Chunsheng, what do you think I caught?" Wang Kunfeng's voice came from the forest.
