Mysterious Tribulation

Popular recommendation:

After the fire was put out, the fish soup in the crock was full of aroma.

Although only fish and salt are used, what is taken is a natural delicacy.

Aaron's tummy started to growl when he smelled it on Aaron's thin body.

He scooped himself a bowl of fish soup with a broken bowl, looked at the reddish soup, and slowly blew the heat.

Changed to the former young Fang Yu, even if he hit a big fish, he would be reluctant to eat it himself, and he would definitely sell it at the fish market for money.

Then the small fish and shrimps that can't be sold can be brought back and eaten by themselves.

Smelly fish and rotten shrimp, eating with friends, that's all.

Occasionally there is a festival, or a lot of fish are caught, and crabs, shrimps, and any kind of fish are stewed together into a pot, sprinkled with Mao Mao salt as a tooth sacrifice.

I heard that this way of eating came from pirates in the sea, so it is also called 'Pirate Pot'.

Aaron, however, would rather invest in himself than in others. .

After taking a sip of the reddish fish soup, I immediately felt a strong umami that stimulated my taste buds, and the fish flesh was elastic. After sliding down my throat into my stomach, there was a slight heat flow, which made Aaron no longer feel the rainy night. chill.

"As expected of a little dragon!"

Aaron sighed, and seemed to sense the intense need from the still developing body, and began to quickly eliminate the fish soup.

While eating the 'red blood carp', more fragmentary memories emerged in my mind.

"'Red-blooded carp', known as the 'little dragon species', is rumored to have a trace of the dragon's bloodline, which is a specialty of Taize Lake..."

"People who practice martial arts eat it, they can greatly replenish their vitality, strengthen their roots and cultivate their vitality, and progress is thousands of miles in a day!"

"Three years ago...the 'Red-blooded Carp King' appeared in Taize Lake, and the big family in the mansion, the 'Cao family', forced many fishermen to go into the water to search for them in severe winter... This body's parents died because of this..."

"I will write down this revenge first. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge! If I take revenge, it will not be too late for a hundred thousand years! Even if the parties involved in the Cao family are gone, wouldn't there still be the descendants of the family?"

After drinking the fish soup, throw the fish bones and bones into the lake.

Aaron sat cross-legged, only feeling the heat in his stomach and his whole body warm.

Even if you don't have any martial arts skills, eating 'red blood carp' can also replenish your vitality, which is more beneficial to the thin body of young people.

Taking advantage of this heat, Aaron wrapped himself in a torn quilt and fell asleep directly in the cabin.

The tide rolled and thunderstorms roared.

The boat kept rocking, but Aaron felt reassured.

This is the habit of the body. If it is replaced by a flat and stable ground, he will not be able to sleep.

"Since I came to this world, my pseudonym in the future will be Fang Yu!"

Before going to sleep, Aaron had a thought in his mind.

…

the next day.

Clouds and rain break, the sun shines.

Aaron untied the ropes, boated on the lake, and began to search for fish and cast a net to catch fish according to the experience in his memory.

As a result, one day, nothing!

After all, Fang Yu's fishing skills are not very good.

Then Aaron had been the eldest young master of the nobility before, and later he became the creator, and he had never done fishing at all.

Often it's the head - 'you'll get it'!

Hand - 'No, you won't! ’

The fishing net is used too much, and it is easy to rot due to moisture, so it needs to be repaired by frequent drying.

Aaron later ditched the net and started spearfishing.

Really don't say it.

Relying on his previous rapier skills, the success rate is much higher than fishing.

This gave Aaron a deeper understanding of the level of [Fishing (Beginner)] in his attribute column.

However, there is also a downside to using a harpoon for a fish, that is, after the fish is pierced, it will die soon... There is no way to store it for a long time!

You can eat it yourself, but if you want to sell it...it stinks before you arrive at the fish market!

There is no fixed place for boat dwellers, and it is possible to fish for a few days or ten days on the lake.

In the next few days, Aaron gave up the harpoon and began to think about fishing with fishing nets. With the memory in his mind, he became proficient after a few times. There is no time to come home full.

three days later.

early morning.

Aaron drove his own awning boat and brought all his belongings to the 'Sanshui Wharf'.

No way...the salt is gone!

The soil and salt here vary in color from black and yellow, and are also mixed with sediment. I don’t know how much heavy metal substances they contain.

Aaron didn't dare to eat it directly, so he could only add the 'coarse salt' to water and continue to boil it repeatedly and filter the impurities to make it into fine white salt for consumption.

In this way, the consumption of salt is naturally amazing.

After a few days, there is no salt to eat.

You can only come to the fish market to sell fish for money, and then go to the nearby shop to buy salt…

As for using advanced technology to purify refined salt, or sell sugar?

Aaron didn't even think about it.

Is it true that the government and private salt dealers are good people?

Today, the world is fairly peaceful, and a poor ghost like Fang Yu has no oil left after he has squeezed his body. As long as he is more honest and responsible, no one will trouble him.

As for the intense and concentrated contradictions, those are the plot needs of novels and TV dramas.

If the poor are honest and responsible, they will encounter three or four major disasters and injustices in their lifetime.

Of course, an injustice may break the home of the little people who have no risk resistance...

'It's just a purpose now, can't attract attention! ’

‘You must survive this fragile period until you have the power to protect yourself, keep a low profile, keep a low profile! ’

Aaron, wearing a mink robe and carrying a bamboo basket full of live fish, moored the boat at a berth and went to the pier.

Immediately, a small officer in a soap coat came over, smelled the fishy smell on Aaron's body, and immediately showed a disgusted expression: "The parking fee is three big dollars a day!"

Aaron gave the money honestly. If he did not stop at the pier, he could dock in the surrounding water bays, but it was not safe. Second, the officers often patrolled the surrounding area. When they saw the ships parked in disorder, they towed them away, and even set them on fire!

Otherwise, how can the people's hearts be like iron and the officials be like furnaces?

It is too difficult, too difficult, for a small person who has no power to want to go boating on the lake, regardless of world affairs, and be at ease!

The fish market was right next to the pier. It was not yet dawn. Aaron took a bamboo basket and found an empty spot to squat down and set up a stall.

Although he still has some money in his jacket, this is also to maintain his character.

Anyway, the rest of my life is long, and it's interesting to play the role of a fisherman wholeheartedly.

Immediately, the guests did not come, a man with a full beard, wearing a jet-black bunt, showing strong tendon flesh, and a man in his thirties with two servants stood in front of Aaron: "Yo? Isn't this A Yu?"

"Master Tiger!"

Aaron rolled his eyes, took out five more coins, and handed them over.

'Tiger Lord' is the steward of the 'Goldfish Gang'. This fish market is controlled by the 'Goldfish Gang' by default. Everyone who sells fish has to pay a share of money. This is also a rule!

"Haha... The payment is a lot easier than before, isn't it?"

Tiger Lord squatted down without smiling, opened the fish basket, and glanced at the fish that Aaron brought.

They are all common items, and the quantity is small.

This is similar to Fang Yu's previous gains, or even slightly worse.

Aaron was all smiles, MMP in his heart.

This 'Tiger Lord' is obviously suspicious, suspecting that he has caught some precious fish.

'If you bring that 'red blood carp' to sell, it's almost like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth... um... but the fishermen don't have a long memory, and they all secretly bring it to the city and sell it directly to the restaurant... But it's still very dangerous! ’

…

After finally fooling the 'Tiger Lord', Aaron looked up and found that it was just dawn.

At this time, there are finally twos and threes of people coming to the fish market to buy goods.

All the fishermen were refreshed and began to shout:

"Selling fish!"

"Selling fish!"

"The best red-tailed carp has more than every year, a good sign..."

"Look at this shell, it's fresh and tender!"

"The lively prawns are gone if they come late!"

…

"Auntie, do you want to buy fish?"

Aaron saw an old lady wearing a wooden hairpin and a blue and white cloth dress coming over and hurriedly greeted him.

Make money, not shabby!

"How do you sell this fish, boy?"

Auntie took a fancy to the largest crucian carp, and found that it was really fresh when she caught it, so she asked with satisfaction.

"It used to be ten big coins. I think you are cheaper. You only need eight big coins, and I will help you to dissect and wash them. What do you think?"

The woman hesitated for a while, and finally said, "That's it!"

The sale opened, and Aaron's markdown sale played a big role.

But he watched his biggest fish being bought, and suddenly fell silent...

'After so many days of fishing, the biggest one was bought... I got eight big bucks, just made up for the amount that was exploited before... The next fish are not so easy to sell, what a loss...'

Sure enough, Aaron's hunch came true.

After the biggest fish was bought, a few more customers came, and they were not satisfied.

Even if the price is lowered, it is difficult to impress the other party.

When the sun hits three poles, Aaron has only sold less than half of the fish, and the fish market has ended, and the rest can only be smashed into hands.

After calculating the accounts, a total of 20 big coins were recorded in the account. After deducting the exploitation, there were still 12 big coins left.

"Alas... In places near the river and sea, the fish cannot be sold at a high price, and inland transportation is a hassle... There is price but no market."

Aaron sighed and put away the fish basket, went to a shop in the fish market, added his own savings, took out twenty big coins, and bought a jar of salt.

The salt names of official and merchants are only located in the city.

So this business on the pier actually sells... private salt!

However, it is said that the owner of the business has a good background and can eat well in the official face, so no one cares.

'Private salt is so inferior in quality and high in price... How come people who sell salt are not rolled up? ’

'A monopoly industry... oh, that's fine! ’

Carrying a fish basket and a crock pot, Aaron passed by a fortune-telling booth.

Although he couldn't understand the ghost-like characters, he still knew the pen and paper.

But he just glanced at it and walked over like nothing.

Although he really wanted to learn Chinese characters, Aaron was not in a hurry at all.

After all, you are immortal, so do you still care about this time?

When he came to the fish market this time, he just wanted to find out, and he would not do anything else that could attract attention.

Not long after, Aaron walked out of the fish market and came to a restaurant by the pier.

This restaurant has only a few kitchens and stoves at the back. A shed is built outside to block the sun. It looks very simple. There is also a signboard with peeling paint outside the shed.

Although Aaron is illiterate, he remembers that others call this place "Yuyang Restaurant".

He looked at the sign and secretly wrote it down.

Walking into the restaurant, the tables and stools on all sides lack arms and legs, but most of the people who come to drink here also wear short-breasted clothes, and their clothes are full of patches, and they don't care about it at all.

Some sold wine directly on the counter, holding wine bowls and dishes, and squatting at the door to drink.

Only two kinds of wine are sold here.

One is 'burning a knife', the entrance is extremely strong, and it is the most cold and warm.

The other is 'Old Yellow Wine', which is more fragrant as it is stewed.

The side dishes for drinking are broad beans and dried tofu, as well as sliced ​​white meat.

Burning knife and old yellow wine are a big money and a bowl, broad beans and dried tofu are a big money and a plate, and sliced ​​meat is five big money a plate.

If you really want to eat meat, but you can't afford five big money, you can buy a bowl of rotten meat noodles for three big money.

In the past, every time Fang Yu sold fish at the fish market, he would always come here, order a bowl of 'burning knives', and ask for other snacks depending on the situation.

The lake is humid and the fishermen don't talk about old age. They are not good at bending and stretching in their 30s or 40s. There are many cases of backache and back pain. Drinking alcohol can ward off evil and ward off cold.

Second, I want to see the owner of the 'Yuyang Restaurant' - Siniang!

There are always many unsatisfactory things in life, and after having been submissive for so long, the bitter people also need a place to vent.

After hard work, coming to see the beautiful proprietress, drinking and bragging, and making jokes are also the few pleasures in the life of ordinary people.

"Yo? Ayu, you haven't been here for a while."

Walking into the restaurant and coming to the counter, the shop assistant knew Fang Yu and asked with a smile, "What do you want?"

‘Warm two bowls of wine and a plate of fennel beans! ’

Aaron almost blurted out that this sentence was indeed what a writer had said, but he held back: "As usual!"

"Okay! A bowl of 'burning knives' and a plate of dried tofu!"

Aaron took out two big coins, took the wine bowl and dishes from the counter, and found a corner to sit down and drink slowly.

Although the bench seems to be a little uneven and the tabletop has some thorns... But the previous Fang Yu obviously didn't care about this.

The entrance of the burning knife is extremely strong, like a line of fire going straight into the abdomen, which is completely different from the feeling of eating 'red blood carp' soup.

Aaron picked up a piece of dried tofu and tasted it slowly, while quietly pricking up his ears:

"Speaking of the house...Have you seen the oiran 'White Peony'? I saw it last time. She is really a beauty like a fairy. If you can sleep once, it will be worth dying..."

[In other words, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books at present, Mimi Read, install the latest version. 】

"Haha, Niu Er, you should go to the tofu shop in Xichengtou, what are you thinking of white peony?"

"If you want to see beautiful women, you really have a chance!"

"This year, the Liu family's 60th birthday, UU reading www.uukanshu.com will invite the opera troupe to sing a three-day and three-night drama, and you can eat the water table as long as you say auspicious words!"

…

Not long after Aaron sat down, a few fishermen came in. They were all familiar with each other. After greeting each other, they sat down to eat and drink.

No one mentioned the matter of Lei Liu.

After all, he is not considered 'missing' now, and he will have to disappear for at least a month before anyone notices something strange.

And, I don't know if he ran away with gambling debts, or fed the Dragon King.

The government obviously doesn't care about a black household who doesn't have Qimin's account, even if it is reported, it may not be ignored.

The burning of the knife was very intense, and it didn't take long for Aaron to feel a little drunk.

"Si Niang is here!"

At this moment, someone shouted, and the eyes of everyone in the restaurant lit up.

Aaron also turned his head away from the crowd, and saw a woman with disheveled hair and a plump figure walking from the back kitchen.

She is about thirty years old, and her appearance is not very outstanding, but she has the charm of a mature woman, especially her skin is breakable. The watery almond eyes are enough to make any man addicted.

"I'm late, all distinguished guests take it slow."

Siniang is good at dancing with long sleeves. It is said that she is leaning against a certain soldier in the city behind her back and greeted every customer. Even Aaron in the corner was accurately called by her name and said something deliberately.

For a time, the restaurant was full of people, and the guests and hosts were very happy.

'There are all kinds of forms in the world, all in it...'

As the sun went down, Aaron walked out of the restaurant and walked to the pier with a fish basket.

The good times are always so short and life goes on...
