Chapter 303: It's fun, right?
The Piaomiao River connects with the Jiangshui River and the Miaoshui River in the north, and flows south-eastward. It is the confluence of the two rivers and is one of the three major rivers in the Great Zhou.
The river is deep and wide, the river is turbulent, the waves are surging, and when the water flows through, it sounds like the roar of a tiger or a bear.
Yan Xingchuan took Cui Si out of the river on a fishing boat to catch fish. After a period of waves, they sailed into slightly calmer waters.
On the fishing boats, some soldiers were looking around vigilantly, while others were holding fishing nets to catch fish.
Standing on the fishing boat at this time, you can see the river rushing from upstream, huge waves hitting the shore, and many whirlpools created by the turbulent waves dispersing and gathering, gathering and dispersing.
Standing here, it seems as if the saying "The Yangtze River rolls eastward, and its waves wash away all heroes" has become concrete.
The wind brought the unique moisture from the river surface, blowing her clothes into the air. Cui Si had to hold on to the railing to keep her footing.
"How is it?" Yan Xingchuan asked her.
"The waves are magnificent," Cui Si commented. "Crossing the river won't be easy either. Have you built a boat?"
Cui Si then remembered that if they wanted to attack Tongzhou, they would need boats, and it would not be easy for a large army to cross the river and attack the ferry.
"There were a few ships, but not enough. They were still under construction. Jiang Shao knew he would be defeated, so he only kept a few ships. He took two away himself, leaving five. The rest were burned."
"Burned?" Cui Si was stunned.
"Yes." Yan Xingchuan's expression was gloomy. "We shouldn't have let him go."
Cui Si said, "It may not be easy for you to save his life."
If Jiang Shao wanted to fight to the death, Beiyan might really be able to capture him, but the losses would certainly be great. It would be better to let him go, quickly and smoothly capture Miaozhou, let him return to Da Zhou to accept the punishment of the court, and then stage a feud between father and son with the Duke of Heping.
that is......
Cui Si looked at Yan Xingchuan: "I remember when you were at Chongshan Pass, you risked your life to kill Jiang Shao."
Yan Xingchuan also looked at her: "Then do you remember the saying that life is worse than death? Wouldn't that be better?"
The waves in Piaomiao River were turbulent, and ordinary fishermen's small boats did not dare to come to the deep water to fish. There were indeed many fish. Less than half an hour after the soldiers cast the net, they pulled the net up and found all kinds of fish, big and small.
He poured the fish into the cabin, lowered the net again, and then arranged for two people to start sorting the fish according to different species, keeping the big ones and throwing the small ones back into the river.
After casting the net seven or eight times, the fishing boat was full of fish and started its return journey.
We returned to the ferry just as the sun was setting.
The red glow colored half the sky, reflected on the water, and also colored half of the river. The fishing boats returned home through the water.
Someone shouted loudly: "The fish are back, move the fish, move the fish——"
When Cui Si and Yan Xingchuan were about to get off the boat, she looked back and saw the five or six boats full of fish, feeling sad.
"What's wrong?"
Cui Si said, "I was thinking about the expression on your face when you ate the fish."
Fish is eaten for three meals a day, day after day. Who wouldn't get tired of it after eating it for half a year? If they were fishermen living by the sea or the river, it would be fine as they have been used to eating it since childhood. But for them who never ate it before, suddenly eating it like this, it's really...tsk tsk tsk tsk.
Yan Xingchuan sighed as he looked at the fish. "Tell me, is there any way to take the fish to a city farther away from the river and sell them?"
"Unless you are a god who can travel a thousand miles a day." It is difficult to keep the fish after they are brought ashore. If you take them on the road, ten days is already the limit for keeping them. Moreover, you need a tank to keep the fish, and they have to be kept separately. If you put too many fish in one tank, they will lack oxygen and die faster.
It is almost impossible to transport large quantities, but you can try to transport small quantities, but it depends on whether the effort is worth it compared to the reward.
"But you can also let someone try it. They have nothing to do anyway."
"A'si—A'si—"
As the two were talking, they saw Cui Jing and his men running hurriedly from not far away.
Why is he here?
Cui Si frowned, then quickly got off the boat: "Third brother."
After getting off the boat and stepping onto the ground again, Cui Si's legs felt a little weak. Yan Xingchuan reached out from behind to support her and said, "Be careful."
Cui Jing came up angrily with his men: "A Si."
"What's wrong, third brother?" Cui Si walked forward.
Cui Jing looked at Cui Si and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was fine. Then he glared at Yan Xingchuan and dragged her away.
Cui Si was dragged along by him and had no choice but to quicken her pace: "Hey, Third Brother, please walk slower."
Yan Xingchuan had no choice but to follow.
"Is he crazy? He took you to the river, isn't he afraid of being attacked from the other side? He is willing to drag you with him even if it means risking his life, right?" Cui Jing gritted his teeth in anger, but he didn't dare to scold Yan Xingchuan in front of so many people. He could only go home and be angry.
Even Rong'an Town is not safe. It is a rare reunion for brother and sister. Cui Jing planned to let Cui Si stay for a few days and go back quickly. But Yan Xingchuan took her to the river. It was fun, wasn't it?
In exchange for my life.
Cui Si quickly explained, "Third brother, don't be angry. I just wanted to go and take a look. Now that I'm here at Piaomiao River, wouldn't it be a shame if I didn't go and take a look?"
"Although it would be appropriate to visit later, Xianyang City is a long way from here, and it's hard to say when we'll be able to come next time. Besides, with him here, our safety is guaranteed."
Cui Jing's anger did not diminish at all, and he snorted: "That's dangerous too."
"Also, since you don't want to get married, stay away from him to avoid being talked about by others."
"Cui Jing." Yan Xingchuan, who had followed behind, looked a little unhappy when he heard this. "This is our business."
Cui Jing raised his head and said, "Is it possible that I can't interfere in your affairs?"
Yan Xingchuan glanced over coldly, and Cui Jing looked over as well without being frightened by him.
They looked at each other, neither of them giving in.
Cui Si stretched out her hand and frowned, "Okay, I will pay attention next time and won't run around randomly. I won't go there again. By the way, Third Brother, I've thought about it and have two ways to cook fish that I can tell you about."
"How to do it?" When Cui Jing heard that it was a method of cooking fish, his eyes lit up and his expression changed immediately.
There was no way, he was really about to vomit from eating so much fish.
Although with his status and position, it is not a big deal for him to cook his own food, and he is not short of money, he has done so in the past.
But now they are on the march and fighting, he eats and lives with the army, and what matters is the feeling of sharing weal and woe. You say that everyone is eating fish and their faces have turned green, almost like fish faces, but he has his own special meal every day, which is a bit disharmonious.
Cui Si thought for a moment and said, "Have you ever thought about cutting the fish into pieces, marinating it for a while, coating it with flour, and frying it in oil? It would be crispy and fragrant, and it would be much better than steaming or braising fish."
"Also, for example, when making fish soup, you cut the fish into pieces, separate the fish bones, and use the bones to make soup. Then you stir-fry some pickled vegetables, and finally pour the fish soup into the pickled vegetables. Then you put the diced fish in, and add some pepper."
