This is a fairly famous place in Gangnam-do, especially since it was just the spring equinox and it was a busy farming day.
Taking advantage of the excellent weather, the farmers began to go in groups, carrying their own homemade special tools, along the mountain col, towards a source of water in Lushui.
You must know that Lushui is the lifeblood of Lujiang, a large city in Jiangnan Province.
Naturally, such a large piece of living water does not only have one source, but often several water sources. In addition, the upstream is connected to a large river, which means that the Lushui River flows continuously every year, and is even vaguely rich in fish and shrimp.
As a result, there have been times when the weather has been unfavorable in Lujiang in recent decades, but few people have said that they starved to death.
Just because it is backed by the Lushui River, everyone has a skill or two in catching fish and shrimps.
Unless someone is seriously ill or has lost an arm or a leg, he can always find something to eat when he is extremely hungry.
The reason why Lushui is well-known throughout Jiangnan Road is because of the specialty fish in Lushui, which is considered to be the top-quality Jiangnan fish.
Even the big shots from the capital city of the Jin Dynasty came to Lushui and marveled at the deliciousness of the food.
From that time until now, the capture of river fresh food has become the most important annual income for farmers near Lujiang.
"The Lujiang Four-gill Bass, even when I was working as a catcher in Jiannan Road, I often heard rumors that it is the best fish in the world!"
After following Zhao Youqian all the way, Yan Chixia finally caught up with Zhao Youqian on the way into the mountain.
Seeing those farmers going fishing with their own equipment, I finally understood what attracted Zhao Youqian to come.
It is this specialty of Lushui, and it is also famous all over the country. Even the nobles of the imperial palace of Jin Dynasty try their best to transport a lot of it to the capital city every year during the spring equinox to taste this delicious food.
.
You must know that Yan Chixia had not fully entered Taoism and was still hanging around in the secular world. She was the chief catcher of the four northwest provinces and the entire Jiannan Road, responsible for apprehending the big thief, pursuing the murderer and solving the case.
Even in the entire Jiannan Road, it is considered to be of considerable importance. Although I have never accepted any bribes, the local gangs and even the chamber of commerce should send a lot of money and food every year.
But for such a top-quality thing as the Four-Gilled Bass, I have only heard of it and have never tasted it, so you can know how rare this thing is.
Of course, sometimes this also varies from place to place. For example, here near Lujiang City, during the spring equinox every year, although the four-cheeked bass is rare, it is not something particularly remarkable.
At least those who have some spare money can always buy a few of them during this season and taste the most delicious delicacies of Jiangsu in this spring season.
However, Yan Chixia is also a little confused. The four-cheeked bass is naturally considered to be an extremely delicious food, especially nourished by the aura of their world, the taste is definitely far superior to ordinary ingredients.
However, I have tasted a lot of fish from Zhao Youqian's Zhutian Restaurant, and basically the quality is not too low. There is no need for Zhao Youqian to be so anxious because of such a not-so-rare ingredient, right?
Seeing that Zhao Youqian seemed to have a goal and walked towards the depths of the woods, Yan Chixia had no intention of continuing to speak, but slowly followed his footsteps and walked deeper together.
However, it seemed that there was no intention of showing their identity. Yan Chixia used a trick as soon as she landed, making it appear to ordinary people that he and Zhao Youqian were just two scholars on an outing.
Nothing particularly eye-catching.
The four-gilled bass in the Lujiang River is a sight to behold. It attracts many people to gather here every year to see how to catch it. You can also buy fresh bass directly.
Therefore, it attracts many people to come here every year for spring outings. The two scholars will not attract the attention of the farmers.
Speaking of which, the four-cheeked perch has a beautiful taste, especially the ones near the Lujiang River, which are of the highest quality, and it’s not without reason.
At least Yan Chixia followed Zhao Youqian along the way and discovered that there was a peach forest planted beside one of the sources of the Lu River.
At this time every year, a lot of peach blossoms fall into the stream and are eaten by the four-cheeked bass. The accumulated fat accumulates over time, giving them a faint scent of peach blossoms.
It’s no wonder that there are actually several places in Jiangnan Province that have four-cheeked bass, but they are far less famous than Lujiang.
This unique geographical advantage, coupled with the intentional maintenance of the surrounding farmers, has made the Lujiang four-gill bass more and more famous.
'So according to Tony and the others, this is brand building and word-of-mouth marketing?'
It was a pity that Yan Chixia shook the flask again. It was a pity that Yan Chixia drank up the remaining wine in the sky, so that she saw this pink and white peach blossom forest that filled her eyes, but she didn't You can drink wine.
It turned out that Yan Chixia followed Zhao Youqian, and in just a few steps, she had already passed through the lush green trees. Just like that, she passed through a tangle of trees blocked by lush branches and leaves. When she opened her eyes again, she had already walked into the peach blossom. Among the blooming peach trees.
There are also pink and white petals on the ground. Occasionally, a breeze blows by, and you don't know whether you have entered a peach forest or a fairyland.
"Lao Yan gave it to you, drink it slowly...there's nothing else!"
Realizing that Yan Chixia was addicted to alcohol, Zhao Youqian had no intention of letting him endure it. He turned his hand and a pot of wine exuding the faint fragrance of peach blossoms was delivered to Yan Chixia.
This made the man smile and say "yes" repeatedly, then he quickly took a sip, and then poured the whole pot of wine into his own wine gourd.
Don't underestimate the wine gourd that is quite yellow and even has some stains stuck to the outside.
This is a magic weapon specially refined by Yan Chixia. It can fit a small pond inside without any problem, and its weight can easily collapse a building.
If used to store wine, not only can ordinary wine be slowly transformed into spiritual wine that is useful to cultivators, but it can also be stored for a long time without worrying about it becoming corrupted or sour, which will only make the wine delicious. More and more upgraded.
Zhao Youqian shook his head helplessly when he saw Yan Chixia's drunkard appearance.
Then he continued deep into the peach forest until he came to a water stream. There was a fisherman wearing a coir raincoat, and a small fish was roasting in the stove next to him.
The fish was not big, about three ounces in size, but it seemed to have no scales all over its body. More importantly, there was a thin line faintly drawn along the gills. At first glance, it looked like the fish had four gills.
It is the most famous delicacy of the Lujiang River, the four-cheeked seabass.
But even Yan Chixia, who was happy to get the wine, could see the difference in the bass at a glance.
I couldn't even help but scream out in surprise.
"Four-cheeked perch?"
"Isn't this a legend? There really is such a fish?!"
