Chapter 32 The heart has never been ancient

The old boatman was still very excited when he saw those big and small fish. These things were usually sold at the market. If he was lucky, he might be able to buy some food. However, other things are not good things in his eyes. If he can't sell them at a good price, he will not be able to get enough food. So, what's the point?

Farmers will not do anything meaningless, because they will starve to death if they cannot fill their stomachs. In the face of life and death, no one can be noble.

Ye Tan did not speak, but smiled, then pushed the wooden board to the shore with both hands and asked the old guy to take all the things over, the sky turned slightly red. This was not the morning, but because of the setting sun.

"You will know after a while. It will be evening in a while. You can make some porridge."

After Ye Tan said this, he began to pick up his fish and prepare to make some delicious food.

At this time, the little girl who relied on her own monkey was not so lucky. Although it was already evening, the house was full of people.

A man with a scar on his face regarded this place as his home and sat on the only bed. The old man had been pushed inside by him and stood up. If he hadn't been unable to speak, the old woman's swear words would have come out long ago.

In addition to him, there were a few people standing at the door, each of whom had very few clothes on his body and his face was full of vicissitudes of life, but the things in his eyes were definitely not good.

The little girl's house had been flipped all over, more thorough than the previous one. Xiaonan and Xiaojin were lying on the ground, their clothes that were not much on their bodies had been whipped, but they were not dead yet. Xiaojin's wrist was broken, and she was lying there screaming.

Tie Pang followed a fierce fat woman, and her words were simple, "Mom, I want to eat meat."

"Little Guy, don't worry, your father will give it to you, wait." The fat woman's face was covered with flesh, and her fat pig-like hands stroked the little fat man's head, which was so gentle, but when she raised her head, she was full of resentment and anger, as if this was her home.

"Xiaobei, your Aunt Tie treats you well. When you and your grandma were soaking in the water, who saved you? Now you are so ungrateful and do such an indignant thing. You dare to eat so much with good things. You don't give your devil grandma and this dead monkey any more food to help the villagers. You said, are you doing it too much?"

After a person robs someone else's things, he should run away or denies it is the right way. However, here, in this unnamed village, it seems that this girl named Xiaobei did something wrong. Her home was occupied, her younger brother was unaware of his life and death. Her grandmother was slapped twice in the face, and her nose was bleeding, but she seemed mute and didn't speak at all.

The man sitting on the bed seemed to be disgusted with the expression of this little girl the most. However, although the little girl was seriously irritated, she looked pretty good. If it weren't for the tigress at home, he would have done it long ago. People would have found ways to destroy things when they couldn't get them.

He stood up and slapped her in the face. When he saw a red palm print appearing on her fair face, he felt an indescribable excitement.

"Xiaobei, just tell you Uncle Tie, where the things were brought from. I won't make things difficult for you, but if you don't speak, your brother and your grandma will probably have to feed the turtle tonight."

As soon as the man named Tiemen finished speaking, several strong men at the door were about to come in and throw Xiaobei's grandmother and brother out, making her eyes red with aggrieved redness and could only keep kowtowing, hoping that the other party could let her family go, and soon a pool of blood appeared on the ground.

"Xiaobei, you can't do this. Come and carry them out. I heard that there will be a cool breeze tonight, freezing these bastards to death."

Tiemen's words are underestimated, but they are very vicious. They fall into the water at night and will even lose their skin even if they don't die.

But, here, in such a village, he is the king, the boss, and the person who keeps his word.

Seeing that they were going to throw their younger brother and grandma out, Xiaobei could only speak, "Uncle Tie, I really don't know, it was brought back by Xiao Jin from outside. Now it is injured, and I don't know if it can be found."

"A beast is still precious. Come on, apply some medicine to it. If it doesn't work tomorrow, it will be beaten to death and thrown away."

Tiemen did not expect that the answer would be like this after waiting for a long time. He said directly. When he reached the door, he touched Xiaobei's face and laughed. When there was no one at the door, Aunt Tie on the road cursed and shouted, "It's another slutty fox, it's better to die early."

Looking at the medicine thrown on the ground, Xiaobei quickly hugged his younger brother and Xiao Jin on the bed and began to take care of him.

The wind suddenly became strong tonight. She spent a lot of effort to block the air leakage in the room. After the old man drank some hot water and rested, Xiaobei felt relieved when he saw that his younger brother and Xiao Jin were not very involved. After washing his face, he quietly left the village.

But she was not as smart as the Tiemen, so she had already sent someone to follow her.

If it weren't for someone who saw someone making these delicious food somewhere, how could Xiao Jin find it?

The so-called characters may not necessarily require much ability, but they will never have less thoughts. If they are less, such as Lu Bu, the result will always be bad.

When the evening breeze blows, people get goose bumps and feel very uncomfortable. The best way at this time is to run to a windproof place as soon as possible, then cover it with a quilt and other warm clothes to sleep well. This way, it will not be easy to freeze to death or wake up by hunger.

But at this time, the old boatman didn't want to fall asleep at all. He wanted to do another thing, that was, to reach out and eat something in front of him, just watching a young man working on the pot while he was sleeping inappropriately, so he made porridge more attentively.

There are not many points to make porridge, just pay attention to two points. The first is to simmer on low heat after boiling, which is also called low heat. The second is to stir it continuously in one direction with a spoon. In this way, there will be a very good pot of porridge.

At this time, the table was filled with a lot of things. He had cleaned up the tricky fish that Ye Tan had caught before. At the same time, it was covered with flour and fryed it thoroughly. It was placed on a small reed woven cover, so that the oil slowly drips along the gap. The fragrance of this thing was so fragrant. If you eat it, you will find that the outside was burnt and tender inside, and the taste was very good. The batter outside was golden, but when the meat inside was broken open, it was snow-white and steaming.

After Ye Tan cleaned up all the big fish, he did not make them what they had eaten at noon. Instead, he cut all the meat on them, wrapped it with batter, and fryed it gently, and then turned into fish fillets. It was just that this kind of fish fillet was the best thing to eat hot pot. Unfortunately, because there are no such conditions here now, I can only wait for a while to set aside.

Although it was already autumn, the shrimps poured out of the reed basket were still very lively. After soaking in wine for a while, Ye Tan began to use them to cook. As for river clams, snails and other things, they also cooked a few dishes.

Although they don’t bring pork ribs and other items, Yetan lacks this kind of thing. Lotus root ribs are cooked in a soiled pot with a low heat. The taste is first-class. The only thing they don’t want is that there is no green garlic, and the color is almost the same.

The big cake I bought before tasted good, but it was not good when it was cold. So Ye Tan cut the cake open and placed it on the fire to grill it and it was delicious for a while.

They only started to eat when the night was rising to the sky and the moon was rising to the west building.

There is not much water in a bowl of sticky rice porridge, but the viscosity is not low. This kind of thing is a trait. However, the old boatman thinks this thing is really good. Anyway, it is not his own home, so it is not up to him to decide how to eat it.

"You eat a bite of this and accompany the pancake, it should taste good."

Ye Tan picked up a fried fish and gently tore it. He saw the white fish inside. The heat slightly rose and drifted over here with a strong fragrance, making people swallow their saliva.

Put it in his mouth and chew it slowly. Ye Tan felt that the taste was still a little light, but now the salt is a valuable daily necessity and cannot be put too much. Otherwise, he would be worried that the old boatman would beat him to death, and he would be a prodigal thing. Why not keep it if he didn't beat him to death?

The old boatman had good teeth. According to Ye Tan's movements, he broke up the fish fish and put it in his mouth. He didn't even let go of the fish bones. He just bite the hot pancake and swallowed it. After eating a bite of the roasted hot pancake, he took another sip of rice porridge. When he looked up at Ye Tan, he sighed, "Young Master, this is so delicious."

"Haha, try this again. Although this thing should be a little spicy to taste good, but unfortunately, there is no way. Now without this condition, I can only eat it so simply." Ye Tan pointed to the fried shrimp and the fried fish fillets and said with a smile. At the same time, he pointed to the Cantonese cuisine made from river clams and snails. He had eaten this thing in his previous life, but that thing was made of seafood. I don't know how the river food was.

Not many people in the Tang Dynasty knew the frying process. Even if they knew that ordinary people would not be willing to add so much oil, how can they live?

However, the old boatman didn't care about these things. As long as Ye Tan said he could eat, he didn't care. Anyway, he had a life of a rotten life. His life these days made him feel that he had committed a bad habit of eating. So he reached out and grabbed a fried shrimp, put it in his mouth, and bit it directly. Then the soup inside came out. The fresh and fragrant smell made him want to shout. Unfortunately, he had been scared by life and could only keep saying, "It's delicious, delicious, really delicious."

When they ate the things on the table almost the same, a stream of fragrance of lotus roots and bone meat floated out. Then the old boatman who had almost eaten enough found that his saliva was flowing out again. There were still a lot of things on the table, but why did the things in the clay pot taste so fragrant?

Ye Tan smiled, looked at the side of his eyes and found a small movement in the reed marsh. However, he did not say anything, but walked over to increase the fire below the pot, and then a strong white water vapor quickly emerged along the hole, with the aroma of pork ribs and the fragrance of lotus roots spreading around this small island.

The old boatman didn't understand why Ye Tan did this. After all, they were full now. If they really made it too bad, they would taste much worse if they ate it tomorrow.

However, he didn't dare to ask, although this young man had a good temper, he saw the arrogance in this person. The arrogance that no one looked down upon was made people feel very afraid.

"Good thing, the flesh and blood are slightly separated, and the taste is so fragrant. The fragrance of lotus root sections also emerges. This pot of food is really suitable for the elderly to drink." Ye Tan seemed to be talking to himself, making the old boatman think that this thing was specially prepared for him. Just as he was about to say a few words happily, he couldn't help looking around after hearing Ye Tan's words.

"If you don't come out again, this thing will be broken."

In the place where Ye Tan fished before, the distance between the two sides was not far, and the weeds were lush and dense reeds were dense. If it were ordinary people, for example, Ye Tan and the old boatman would definitely not be able to get along. However, if it was a child, the skinny one could get over it. Therefore, this soup was a test, and the monkey before was not a good thief.

Maybe she was frightened by Ye Tan's words. Xiaobei turned around and wanted to run, but found that her legs were stuck by two reed roots that were very close. After pulling them for a long time, she couldn't pull them out. Moreover, the straw sandals on her feet fell into the water and disappeared soon. The black and black feet were quickly broken by some short reed roots on the ground, bleeding endlessly, but she didn't say a word, just wanted to pull out her legs and run away.

Ye Tan waited for a while, but he still didn't wait for the person to come. However, the sound in the reed marsh was loud, which made him stop the spoon in his hand without realizing it. At the same time, he turned off the fire and ran towards the place where Xiaobei was. The old boatman was about to say no, but Ye Tan's shadow disappeared. When he came back again, he was already holding a shriveled and thin girl in his arms, but she had wounds on her feet and was still bleeding.

Ye Tan looked at him and said, "Prepare hot water."

The old boatman knew that Ye Tan was very difficult to mess with at this time, so he nodded and started preparing hot water. Although the little girl was not bleeding from her feet, she still did not dare to be arrogant because when she suddenly saw someone, she was startled and pulled her calves hard and pulled a very shallow hole on her ankles. However, the person suddenly came to her and then stopped hurting.

Her nerves are actually confused now, because when she came out of the house, she walked the road when she went out to pick reeds by the lake during the day. Maybe the rice that had not been shaken last year, and she could take it home to make charred rice. However, because the sudden flight of a wild bird scared her at that time, and then she was a little panicked and passed the path she thought was familiar with before. However, when she stopped, she realized that she had taken the wrong path. She was anxious and wanted to walk back, but she didn't expect to see the small island where Ye Tan and others. She was very strange because there were many thieves or people from the water village living in Dongting Lake. They almost didn't set things in such open air, because this was too unsafe and could easily be robbed. Moreover, the wind was strong. If too much wind blows, nothing might be seen.

After she went back, she thought about the things she had eaten before, and then looked at the food her grandmother and brother had eaten, so she asked Xiao Jin to steal some back. Xiao Jin showed unparalleled abilities in the time when their siblings and grandmother could survive, so she believed in it very much and felt sorry for its current experience.

Sometimes she thought that if she could escape from the water village, she would have run away long ago. Unfortunately, she had no choice. Grandma was old and her younger brother was too young. If they ran out, they would have to die.

So, she came here by a stranger, because she had heard the woman in the village say while chatting that there would always be young masters from wealthy families who liked girls like her. If they were good-looking, they would naturally have many opportunities. What if the other party could give them some food, there would always be a glimmer of life.

But I didn't expect that this was the case. After I came, when I met, although I couldn't see his face clearly, the scene of her dirty and bleeding on her feet was indeed not a good scene, so she didn't know what to say.

But the things on his table made her eyes lit up suddenly. There were too many things I had never added. She wouldn't have been discovered if it weren't for being stimulated by a strong fragrance. But even so, she couldn't help swallowing. As long as she gave her some of these things, her grandmother and brother wouldn't be hungry when she went back.

"If you're hungry, wash your face before you can eat it."

When Ye Tan said this, she felt an indescribable tenderness, as if this little baby was his own relative.

But when Xiaobei was saying this, he suddenly struggled out of his arms, and then knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Young Master, please take in Xiaobei and his younger brother and grandma. As long as you can take in them, Xiaobei will be willing to die."

Hearing her kowtow so strongly, the stone slabs and broken stones on the ground wiped the skin from her head, and soon there was a lot of blood on the ground.

"Who dares?!"

The old boatman saw Ye Tan like an angry bull, and the water in his hand splashed out suddenly, and was at a loss.
