On the endless ice of the Yellow River, Wei Chen sat quietly, motionless with the fishing rod in his hand, staring at Zhao Ceying in front of him, seemingly hesitant to speak.
Only then did Zhao Ceying realize that she had just made a mistake. Even in front of the teacher she trusted most, she shouldn't have been so unscrupulous. She lowered her head in a panic, not daring to look directly into Wei Chen's eyes.
For a moment, it seemed that the only sound left between heaven and earth was the whistling of the cold wind and the shouts of fishermen fishing in the distance.
After a long while, Wei Chen, who was as silent as a statue, suddenly smiled at Zhao Ceying, turned around, shook the fishing rod lightly, sent the baited fishhook deeper into the water, and said quietly: "These words can only...
Speak to your family when there is no one around you, and remember not to spread it to anyone else."
Zhao Ceying was slightly stunned when he heard this, and it took him a while to react. He quickly bowed and said, "This is natural. Students must be careful in their words and deeds in the future."
Just when Zhao Ceying breathed a sigh of relief, the fishing rod in front of Wei Chen suddenly sank, bending like a crescent moon.
Zhao Ceying hurriedly reminded: "Teacher, the fish has bitten the hook!"
Wei Chen had no time to respond to Zhao Ceying at this time. The fish biting the hook struggled fiercely, and the force of pulling on the fishing rod even forced him to stand up.
Wei Chen used both arms to lift the fishing rod upwards with all his strength. His hand holding the fishing rod did not relax at all. The uninterrupted physical exercise for many years finally showed its effect at this moment.
Not far away, Gu Tingye saw the movement and ran over, saying excitedly: "Oh, so energetic, it looks like a big fish! Xingyun, let me help you!"
With that said, Wei Chen came up to help regardless of whether he agreed or not.
The fish on the hook struggled hard for a long time and finally relaxed. Wei Chen saw the opportunity and pulled hard with both hands.
There was only a "swishing" sound, and the fish that was scurrying back and forth in the ice hole was finally lifted out of the water, jumping up and down in mid-air, causing the fishing rod to shake and splashing water all over Wei Chen.
Gu Tingye rushed forward, held down the big carp, weighing twenty or thirty kilograms, and took it off the hook.
Zhao Ceying smiled happily and said: "The yellow river carp we just caught has plump meat and is perfect for making fish dumplings. We are in a good mood today!"
"Fish?"
Gu Tingye's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Fish dumplings, also known as sashimi, have been the most popular method of eating fish in Bianjing City in recent years. Gu Tingye, an old man, will naturally not miss it, and there is a person next to him who is good at making fish dumplings, that is, his foreigner
Room, Zhu Manniang.
The most important thing about fish meat is knife skills. The thinner it is cut, the more delicious it is. The fish meat sliced by Zhu Manniang's hands is as thin as a cicada's wing and almost transparent. It seems to float when you blow it. Gu Tingye never gets tired of eating it.<
/p>
However, Gu Tingye has been staying at Bailudong Academy for several years, and he hasn't tasted this for a long time.
Now is a rare opportunity.
If the carp caught on the bank of the Yellow River can be killed and cooked on the spot, wouldn't it be possible to enjoy the freshest fish meat in the world?
Thinking of the delicious, fresh and tender taste of fish dumplings, Gu Tingye couldn't help but feel a little itchy. He immediately called his chief, Shi Shi, and ordered him to go back to the city to bring Zhu Manniang.
However, what Gu Tingye didn't expect was that after hearing his plan, Wei Chen quickly stopped him and said: "No need to bother so much, let's just set up the pot here and cook a bowl of fish soup."<
/p>
Just kidding! Wei Chen doesn’t have the courage to eat river fish raw. He still wants to stay useful and go back to Bianjing to marry a wife!
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Chen Deng, a famous scholar who was addicted to eating sashimi, got seriously ill and almost died. Fortunately, he met the miracle doctor Hua Tuo, who prescribed a medicinal soup for him to take. As a result, he vomited three liters of parasites in one breath.
After Chen Deng saved his life, he did not have a long memory and continued to eat sashimi to die. This time he was not so lucky. He did not find Hua Tuo to save his life and died immediately.
And in the little days next door, they still ate raw deep-sea fish that had far fewer parasites than river fish. As a result, the parasite disease rate was still among the highest in the world.
All in all, no matter how long the history of fish dumplings is and how popular it is in the Zhou Dynasty, Wei Chen will never touch it.
I really want to eat fish. Why don’t I ask my wife to make me a bowl of fragrant water shield and seabass soup when I get back to Bianjing? Why risk my life to do this?
On the bank of the river, Gu Tingye and Zhao Ceying were both skeptical after hearing Wei Chen's reason for rejecting the fish dumplings.
Isn’t it outrageous that there are insects invisible to the naked eye in this fish meat that is as thin as a cicada’s wing and crystal clear?
Moreover, we have been eating it for so many years, and we still feel nothing?
However, seeing the solemn expression on Wei Chen's face, both of them realized that although this matter sounded a bit outrageous, Wei Chen was obviously not joking with them.
As the saying goes, a son with a lot of money cannot sit down in the palace. Gu Tingye and Zhao Ceying are both people who care about the world and have great ambitions. They will naturally cherish their bodies and would rather believe that they have it than that they don't have it!
Thinking of this, Gu Tingye and Zhao Ceying unanimously gave up the idea of trying something new.
Gu Tingye gave up the idea of asking Zhu Manniang to come over and show everyone her cooking and knife skills, so he called Shitou back.
Wei Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this. He was really worried that these two people were indifferent and would not listen to his side of the story.
Fortunately, they are still afraid of death, or in other words, they are afraid of dying meaninglessly.
After a while, the entourage brought by the three people started cooking the big carp on the river bank, and set up a pot to cook the fish soup according to Wei Chen's instructions.
Yellow River carp is considered to be the best type of river fish. It has just been caught and is as fresh as ever. Although the cooked fish is not as tender as eating it raw, it is still very delicious.
Wei Chen and the three of them each filled a bowl, and then distributed the remaining fish soup to the followers. After tasting it, everyone was full of praise.
After filling his stomach, Wei Chen glanced at Gu Tingye, who was grabbing food from a stone bowl not far away, and suddenly thought of Zhu Manniang mentioned by Gu Tingye just now, and couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
Then he lowered his voice and asked Zhao Ceying who was standing aside: "How is the matter I asked you to entrust Zhao Tuanlian to do? Has the person been found?"
】
"Found it." Zhao Ceying raised her head and said with a smile: "Father said in the letter that the man was a rogue on the street. If my uncle used some tricks, he would be so frightened that his legs would become weak. He would follow him to Yuzhou obediently."
”
Speaking of this, Zhao Ceying paused, glanced at Gu Tingye who was not far away, and lowered his voice: "When the others bring it back, do you want to hand it over to Zhong Huai directly?"
Wei Chen pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Don't worry. Zhong Huai has always been soft-hearted towards women. Even if he knew that he had been deceived, as long as Zhu Manniang begged softly and had children, Zhong Huai might not take advantage of her.
How about.
We must let Zhong Huai see clearly how much affection Zhu Manniang has for him and why she follows him. Only in this way will he completely give up on Zhu Manniang."
