Chapter 244 Insulting a fish or insulting a person
"Salmon?"
Chu Nanzhi thought about it in her mind, does salmon still have this name?
Patriarch Sun patiently explained: "This salmon is also called salmon. It is said that it flows from the north of Songhai. Although this fish is rare, not many people like to eat it. Those who went fishing in the past few days caught one back.
When I came just now, Liulang said he was going to kill and pickle the fish and make it into dried fish and sell it at a low price. If Madam Chu likes it, I will let him pickle it and send it to Madam Chu to Luyan Port."
"This salmon, ah, this salmon is better alive."
As Chu Nanzhi said, he took out three taels of silver from his purse and handed it to Patriarch Sun: "I will buy the salmon. Patriarch Sun, let Liu Lang keep it."
"Where can I use this much money?"
Patriarch Sun shook his head and said: "This fish is only worth a hundred coins at most."
"Hundreds of cash?"
Chu Nanzhi angrily took out another two taels of silver and forced it into his hand. Is this an insult to the fish or to me?
In her time, a whole salmon weighing 20 to 30 kilograms cost at least a thousand yuan.
"For no other reason than the rarity of this fish, it will be worth the price sooner or later."
After Chu Nanzhi finished speaking angrily, he began to think about looking for authentic mustard again.
The mustard of this era was ground into powder from mustard seeds, which was mainly used to remove the smell. However, authentic mustard must also use the rhizome of wasabi.
She was also afraid that these people would catch another salmon and pickle it into dried fish and sell it at a low price. She also warned Sun Wuji and Patriarch Sun: "If we catch salmon again in the future, ah, bah, we catch salmon."
, you can send them all to me. It’s a pity to sell them as dried fish at a low price. I’ll give you three taels of silver for each fish.”
"Three taels of silver?"
The two looked at each other in confusion, wondering why she had a soft spot for this kind of fish.
But if you can earn so much money by catching a salmon, why not do it? In the end, they all happily agreed.
After learning about the various fish caught in Haikang County and seeing the fry, Chu Nanzhi already had an overall idea in her mind and said with a smile:
"This time I will take a hundred fish fry back for a trial period to test the water quality of the fish pond. The clan leader and Sun Langjun don't have to rush to collect fry for me now. If everyone catches a lot after the flood season, they will save them for me.
Just tens of thousands of seedlings will be enough, and I will send you fifty taels of silver next time I get the fry."
In fact, it is most appropriate to put six to seven thousand juvenile fish in the pond in front of the Chu family. However, considering the damage during transportation, you still have to buy more appropriately.
After thinking for a while, she added: "The size should be a little more uniform, about half a catty is best. As for the variety, let's just look at the matching."
"Okay, Madam Chu, don't worry, I will definitely live up to my trust."
Sun Wuji looked delighted. She bought a hundred taels of fish fry at one time. This was great news for the fishermen in Shiliba Village after the flood season.
It's just that this woman saved him without any intention of repaying her, which made him feel terrified.
Looking at the little one in front of Chu Nanzhi, Sun Wuji asked earnestly to Patriarch Sun: "Uncle, are there any fresh fish caught from the sea today? Catch two for Mrs. Chu and let her take them back to the inn to make them for the children."
eat."
"Yes, yes. Someone just returned from the beach today and caught a lot of kingfish. I will go and get it myself."
After Patriarch Sun answered, he immediately went to get the fish in a hurry.
Sun Wuji was afraid that she would blame him, so he hurriedly explained: "Mrs. Chu does not intend to repay her kindness, but I am by no means an ungrateful person. If I give you a few fish, I will not have to blame you again, right?"
Seeing that such a strong-willed man was so humble in front of her, Chu Nanzhi suddenly felt a little regretful and replied happily: "Since Mr. Sun is so kind, I feel ashamed to accept it. Thank you very much."
.”
After all, he just felt that he had saved him, and he wanted to repay him.
I happened to have promised Lin Jinxiao to get him some carps when I was at the Chu family. Going back to make them for him today can be regarded as repaying this guy's kindness for sacrificing his life to save him yesterday.
Little Sibao had just heard what Patriarch Sun said about salmon, and had been very curious in his heart. Seeing that his mother had finished explaining the matter, he couldn't help but look up at Chu Nanzhi, and asked with his little eyes wide open.
: “Aniang, should we take the salmon back to the inn together?”
"That fish is too big. Let's let Uncle Laifu keep it for now and pick it up when we get home tomorrow."
Chu Nanzhi picked up the little one and replied softly, then looked at Ma Laifu with burning eyes: "Laifu, please help me raise the hundred fish fry and the salmon first."
Ma Laifu raised his thick eyebrows and said with a smile: "Sister Zhi, don't worry, I will definitely fulfill my mission."
As soon as he finished speaking, Little Si Bao came close to Chu Nan Zhi's ear and whispered: "Mom, I want to see the salmon first."
The name sounds very interesting, and it must be very good-looking.
Chu Nanzhi looked at the little guy's sincere eyes and couldn't refuse. He looked at Ma Laifu with a smile and asked casually: "Is Liu Lang's house far from here?"
"It's not far, just next door to the patriarch's house."
Sun Wuji raised the corners of his lips and looked at Ma Laifu with a chuckle: "Laifu, take Xiaobao and Madam Chu over to have a look."
"good."
Ma Laifu responded and led several people to Sun Liulang's home with an eager look on his face.
When I got there, I saw a man in a coarse cloth shirt coming out of the house holding a fish. The fish in his arms was more than half a meter long and extremely fat. It looked like it must have weighed twenty or thirty kilograms.
Look.
Xiao Sibao pointed at the huge fish and shouted excitedly: "Mom, is that a salmon?"
"Yes, it's very big. I'll cook it for you when I get back to grandma's house tomorrow."
While Chu Nanzhi spoke warmly and carefully, he carefully placed the four treasures on the ground. The little guy nodded and happily ran towards Sun Liulang.
When Sun Liulang saw that it was the Chu family's wife, he immediately stopped, hugged the fish tightly and squatted down, his eyebrows slightly raised and he stared at the little girl running towards her.
Si Bao walked up to him, looked at the giant fish in front of him that was the same size as himself, and immediately smiled like a flower: "Uncle, can I touch the salmon?"
"Of course, this fish belongs to your family now."
I bought it for a huge price of five taels of silver.
Sun Liulang secretly rejoiced, wondering if Mrs. Chu was stupid for spending so much money on a fish that no one liked to eat.
He looked at Chu Nanzhi excitedly and confirmed again: "Ms. Chu, will I bring it to you if I really salvage Da Maha?"
"I won't lie to you. Dahe people don't lie to Dahe people. I keep my word."
Chu Nanzhi promised without hesitation: "If you want to sell fish from the sea at a good price in the future, you can send it to me."
"Yeah."
Sun Liulang smiled from ear to ear. When he saw the flower-like little girl in front of him, he couldn't put it down and stroked the fish in his hand. He was not in a hurry and reminded him patiently: "This fish is not clean. You must wash your hands after touching it for a while."
That’s good.”
Si Bao nodded obediently, but was afraid that his mother would be unhappy. After stroking it for a while, he finally ran towards Chu Nan Zhi with great satisfaction. However, he looked back at the fish in Sun Liulang's hand with great reluctance, and carefully
