Xu Shan has lived in Gaoqian Village, Xianju for generations. He works at sunrise and rests at sunset. He occasionally catches fish in his spare time. Every day is just that simple. Why is he called Xu Shan? His parents are not educated and only know a few words.
, just because Xing San, San has the same pronunciation as mountain. There is little oil and salt, and there is no special taste when catching a fish and burning it. Just because I am free. I can’t get a lot of money in the city. Over this period of time, I don’t know
Unconsciously, life has changed. Many rich people from the north moved into the village. They spent a lot of money to take over all the idle land in the village and build houses here. At the same time, many refugees with shabby clothes came to live in the village.
In the thatched hut, they opened up wasteland around them. They heard that their homes in the north were occupied by a powerful country called Jin. Many of the rich people were educated and set up private houses in the village to teach people how to read. They
The tastes are different, including fish, mushrooms, etc. The prices of things that I don’t usually eat are soaring like monkeys in the sky. General fish grilled with scales has increased from five copper coins to
Fifty coppers, and they are still fighting for it. Rich people are very picky. The fish must be alive to be valuable. The general's fish is only worth five coppers if it is dead.
It’s the off-farm season again, so it’s good to try your luck and earn some pocket money. On weekdays, he likes fishing, and he knows that there is a pool called Wumei Pool with more general fish. This secret is only
He knew it alone, and if he told others, he would not be able to make the money, so he kept this secret. Early in the morning, he came to the pond with a fishing rod. General fish likes to eat earthworms, so he
Take out the earthworms you prepared in advance, string them on the hook, and put them in the water.
"Fisherman"
Wumei Lake, the water is clear and cold,
The fisherman is busy casting his line.
The earthworm moves at the end of the fishhook,
People laugh at fish because they are greedy and easy to deceive.
Fame and wealth are used as bait,
People in the world are adults without knowing it.
The fish is hooked and the waves shake the golden shadow,
When someone takes the bait, you fight with me.
Xu Shan was fishing in the Wumei Lake of Yong'an River. He squatted for two hours and finally caught a general fish. However, he found that he was walking in a hurry in the morning and did not bring a fish basket. What should he do? Take a string of willow sticks and catch a fish.
If you take it back, it will be a dead fish and worthless. Xu Shan looked around to see if there was any way to borrow a container to hold the fish. But because the fishing place was hidden and there was no one else, he walked around and found nothing. Here he was.
At that time, I saw a basket floating on the water in the woods. It was made of thin bamboo and was painted with paint. It was shiny. I called several times who the basket belonged to, but no one around responded.
Xu Shan was secretly happy, maybe it was an ownerless thing washed down by the flood, and it was a good time to use it to hold the general fish. So he put the fish in a basket, dipped it into the water, and continued to catch his fish. Another hour passed,
Nothing was caught, and it would be too late any later. It was difficult to feed the general fish, and it could not be sold after dinner time. Xu Shan put away the fishing rod, picked up the bamboo basket and returned to Gaoqian Village. He came to the rich man named Wu.
At home, the rich man looked at it and praised repeatedly: "Good fish, good fish." He ordered the butler to count out one hundred and fifty copper plates for him. Isn't it fifty copper plates each? How could he give so many? Xu Shan was very surprised.
Surprised. You have to be honest in business. If you make a mistake, your future business will be cut off. Xu Shan planned to return the extra money to him. The butler said: "One fish is fifty cents, three fish is one hundred and fifty cents, no
Wrong. It’s rare for three fishes to be the same size, so it’s more honorable for the owner to treat them.”
Where did the three fish come from? I only caught one fish today. When I brought the bamboo basket in, I didn’t take a closer look because the mouth of the basket was small and it was late. Could it be that there were two other fish?
Dive into the bamboo basket? Xu Shan scratched his head, feeling incredible about Yiwu, took the money and returned home.
"You actually caught three?" the daughter-in-law asked happily as she counted her money. General fish are notoriously difficult to catch, so three fish a day was an absolute blessing. He hummed and looked at the roof. The housekeeper couldn't possibly give one fish to three.
It's money for the fish. To this day, he still can't figure out why there are three general fish in the bamboo basket.
I told my daughter-in-law about this, but she didn’t believe it. During the meal, he was absent-minded and put the food out of his mouth several times. The daughter-in-law laughed and cursed a few times and said: "Look, you have become like this after making a small fortune."
.”
After hearing the story about the General Fish, the guests quickly ordered this dish to try it out. The fish took a long time to cook and was served an hour later.
"The Proud Fisherman - General Fish"
The water in the cold pool is cold and foggy at dawn,
The general wears armor and dances underwater.
The fish, shrimps, crabs and turtles were frightened.
pray to heaven,
The fisherman caught it and put it in the cage.
Cut the belly open, remove the gills and put it in the pan,
Bacon and ginger slices are cooked in stock.
The fish soup turns into a cloudy color.
burning red candle,
Prevent it from getting cold and smelly!
This fish tastes good and unique, with both strong and fresh aroma. The guests raved about it and the story continued.
Xu Shan didn't sleep all night. Before dawn the next day, he picked up his bamboo basket and came to Wumei Lake. He was lucky today. He caught one in less than an hour. He put it in the bamboo basket and stared at it.
For a long time, there was still one fish in the basket. Another hour later, another fish was caught. After putting it in, I stared at it for nearly an hour. There were still only two fish, not more. It's strange. Could it be that I remembered it wrong yesterday?
Yes, only three were caught?
Until the evening, no general fish caught again. He picked up the fish basket and looked at it. There were only two in it. The price of two for a hundred cents was not bad. He was slightly disappointed and took the fish to Wu Yuan's house. When he got to the door,
He lifted the bamboo basket in his hand and looked at it again and again, and counted again and again, and there were still two.
The butler was very happy to see him and said: "There are distinguished guests at my house. They are waiting for the general fish. There are several. I will give you an extra three cents for each fish."
He handed the basket over and said, "Just two, I don't know if they are enough."
"Two pieces? That's too little." The steward took the basket and looked inside and said, "Brother is good at joking. It's obviously six pieces, but he said two. Are you afraid that I won't be able to pay for it if you say too much? Or?
Has anyone ordered the other four?"
Xu Shan took it over and looked at it. He was right. It was really six pieces. The bamboo basket was full. He buzzed for a while and couldn't make a sound for a while. It seemed that this bamboo basket was a great one.
Baby, I'm really mad now. He lied and said: "I want to try it out. Since the members need it, my relatives will give it to me later."
After collecting the money, I returned home step by step.
"Treasure Basket"
Caught a fish and put it in the basket,
Pouring out the fish, I was shocked,
Caught a fish into the basket,
When I poured it out, there were three fishes.
All things transform into three and give birth to ten thousand,
Only then did we know that the bamboo basket was a treasure.
Return home happily,
Praise your wife and children for your copper plate.
The daughter-in-law was very happy to hear this, but after a while, she said worriedly: "I don't know how anxious people are when they lose their treasures. Tomorrow you go back to the pond and wait for a good day. If someone comes looking for it, just return it to them. No one will look for it."
God’s gift.”
Xu Shan was extremely reluctant to give up, but his wife made sense, so he nodded in agreement.
