The fish was not fried, but simply gutted and boiled in water, but the soup was still thick white with only a slight yellow tint on the surface.
Very fresh, without the common fishy smell.
It can be said to be quite good.
"How did you get to the river?"
The short and strong man is very talkative and good at chatting.
“Rafting on the blue waves and admiring the scene of hundreds of boats competing for the current is indeed a beautiful thing.”
"Hey, you scholars always speak in a refined manner. Your accent doesn't sound like you're from Fuzhou. Did you come from out of town for a visit?"
"Originally, I was studying abroad in Jiangnan West Road, reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles."
"Oh, he's really rich! They say he's a poor scholar, a poor scholar. How can this scholar be poor? In my entire life, I've never left Fuzhou, let alone this small county."
"If you want to leave, you can try."
"What the hell, I'm leaving now. My wife and kids are starving. My dad's not in good health either. Fortunately, he's healthy. If he was, I'd be in big trouble."
"Don't you save some money?"
The short and strong man did not stop talking.
"Saving, what the hell! Let's not talk about far away things, just talk about fish. Every now and then, we can always catch some well-seasoned knife fish, which are worth one or two taels of silver per catty. We can also catch a few occasionally. When we are close to the sea, we can also catch rare things from the sea. I heard that the precious ones are worth five or six taels of silver per catty.

"With this little money, it's already tight for daily living. If I have a headache or a fever, it's not enough to spend."
The short and strong man couldn't stop talking about this, and combined with the cousin next to him who was still humming, the picture was very vivid.
"No one cares?"
"Who cares? You care? Don't tease me. You're wandering here alone in a shabby boat. You don't come from a wealthy family. You're definitely not going to pass the civil service exam. There's no such thing as a poor family passing the imperial examination.
"Looking at your physique, you have no chance of passing the martial arts exam. The best you can do in the future is to be a teacher. Can you manage it?
"The one with the most potential is actually Tiger Lord's cub. He's been eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks since he was young, and he's been taught by martial arts masters who cleansed his marrow and replaced his blood. We, huh, are just destined to be poor. We weren't born with that kind of talent."
