In the adobe room, Bai Ming, who pricked up his ears, heard a movement.
He quietly got off the bed, lay down by the window and looked out.
I saw a familiar figure by the river, dragging a sampan towards the shore.
"Brother is back!"
Bai Ming hurriedly put on his straw sandals and unbolted the door of the outer room.
Woohoo!
The cold wind poured in, chilling his neck.
"Why haven't you fallen asleep yet? You have to see me to feel at ease."
Bai Qi carried two fish baskets and stepped into the soil embryo room, all wet.
Water droplets dripped down her hair, and her bronzed skin turned red, steaming out wisps of heat.
"The weather is really cold. If you go into the river and get wet, your hands and feet will freeze."
He took the coarse cloth from his brother and wiped the water on his body.
Fortunately, I have practiced Ba Duan Gong and Jin Dan Da Zhuang Gong.
There is enough energy and blood in the body to withstand the increasingly cold Heishui River.
Otherwise, wait till winter comes.
The livelihood of the two brothers is really in question!
"The stove is still hot, let me boil a bucket of water for my brother.
Brother, there is a mark on your forehead, like a vertical wave..."
Bai Ming, wearing a tattered cotton coat, opened the stove and added firewood inside.
Normally, they would definitely not be so extravagant.
After all, dry firewood is not cheap, and boiling water for bathing every day is the way of wealthy families.
In the past, when cooking, you could pick up some dead branches and scraps of wood.
If you really want to burn firewood, you still have to go to the charcoal shop to buy a few bundles.
When fishermen go into the mountains to cut trees, they are likely to attract the hostility of woodcutter and hunters.
Furthermore, being alone in the woods is inherently dangerous.
Places such as the fish farm, firewood market, and fire kiln are all clearly demarcated.
Anyone who breaks the rules will end badly.
"Is there any? I'll take a shower and rub it in later.
Fortunately, there are still some medicinal materials left for external use.
Boil some water and scald your feet later to dissipate the coldness in your body. "
Bai Qi nodded and put the two seven-star spots and other goodies into the water tank in the corner.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up the lively tiger barbel.
Hit his head hard with the back of a kitchen knife to calm him down.
Then press it on the cutting board, hold the skin of the fish belly with your left hand, and lightly scratch it.
Take out the cod liver, remove the gallbladder and wash it.
Remove other internal organs and rinse with water to remove blood.
Finally slice it and place it in a bowl.
"I heard from Xiantou that Donglailou's 'barrel lung soup' should be supplemented with ham, shiitake mushrooms, and bamboo shoots, and then use the clear soup cooked with native chicken to bring out the flavor, tsk tsk.
I'm not that particular, so I'll just make do with it. "
Bai Qi prepared the ingredients and took out the stone pot at home.
Use fish bones and fish lungs as the soup base and sprinkle some coarse salt.
Wait for the fire to come up and start eating.
"Brother seems to be particularly happy tonight?"
Looking at Bai Qi's lowered and raised corners of his mouth, Bai Ming was a little confused.
What good thing happened?
“I’m lucky, I got some bargains, I can’t help but feel happy.
Haha, I’ll tell you about it later when I have time! "
Thinking of Yang Quan's violent rage and Wang Lezi's misfortune, Bai Qi felt very happy.
Especially if Liang Sanshui becomes the manager of Shangdong City, he will be able to free up his hands and feet and enjoy the big catch.
Taking in five taels of silver every day is not excessive, right?
"When I earn 500 taels a year from Baiji Fish Farm, I will be able to move into the inner city and live in a big house."
Bai Qi suddenly felt that life was very promising. He picked up the fish fillet with his chopsticks, poured it into the boiling clear soup, and started eating directly.
Authentic and quite delicious.
The fish liver of tiger barbel is tender and tender, and the fish meat is delicate, so there is no need for extra seasoning at all.
Perfect for stewing and making soup.
"You should also eat more. Treasure fish are rare, especially this tiger-head barbel. It strengthens the waist and knees, replenishes kidney qi, can fill the gap, and is the most nutritious.
You have been weak since you were a child. You can take better care of yourself in the future so that you can practice boxing and kicking with me. "
Bai Qi is familiar with "The Record of Fishes" and has a good understanding of the methods of treasure fish and the benefits of each.
"Brother, this soup is so nourishing.
After just a few sips, my whole body felt hot. The soles of my feet suddenly became warm and I was no longer afraid of the cold. "
Bai Ming has a small appetite and is full after eating only half of the fish belly.
I added a bowl of fragrant soup and sipped it slowly.
"Of course, otherwise we wouldn't call him Baoyu.
This is also the first treasure fish I have actually eaten in my stomach, which is worth remembering. "
Bai Qi took off his chopsticks like flying and ate happily.
He is a half-trainer who has tempered his strength, and he feels his own changes far more clearly than his brother Bai Ming.
As the fish meat mixed with the soup rolled down into the belly, a warmth spread out.
Like a trickle, it slowly merges into the Qi and blood flowing throughout the body.
It's like every time you take another bite, the ferocious strength tempered increases by one point.
When there was no trace left in the entire stone pot, and even the fish bones had been chewed and swallowed clean, Bai Qi was already full of energy and energy.
It seems to be greatly nourished!
“It makes your waist less sore, your legs less painful, and you feel like a dragon and a tiger!
I'll get another one another day and bring it to Brother Shui to taste.
Forget it for Old Man Liang, he doesn't need this at his age. "
While Adi Bai Ming was putting away the pots and pans, Bai Qi had already started to stand and practice the second move of Jin Dan Da Zhuang Gong!
You must digest it quickly, otherwise you will panic!
His feet are spread apart, the toes are buckled in, and the ten toes are gripping the ground. This is a tiger riding position!
Immediately afterwards, the sound of breathing, which was stronger than the big-character stance, sounded continuously in the room.
It was as if dozens or hundreds of lines were connected together, forming a huge movement like a bellows.
This is a sea of sand!
"Brother, are you really practicing health-preserving skills?"
Bai Ming scratched his head. After finishing his chores, he propped his chin with his hands and looked at Bai Qi, who was practicing martial arts.
"Breathing is like the waves of the black water river, pushing one after another..."
…
…
At dawn, Bai Qi hurriedly got up, took the sampan and headed straight for the reed marsh.
Last night, when he was sleeping and dreaming, he was thinking about the ghost-striped fish hidden in the tank.
"Fortunately, fortunately, no one touched here by accident."
Bai Qi put a dozen fish weighing two to three kilograms into the big fish basket he brought.
Then he held the long pole, cut through the water waves, and sailed towards Dongshi Shop.
Generally speaking, early in the morning is when the pier is the most deserted.
The fishermen have not yet entered the river at this time, so naturally it is difficult for them to catch any fish.
Especially recently, the weather has been very cold and cloudy, so fishing at night is extremely risky, let alone catching night fish!
By the time Bai Qi stopped the sampan, the port had not yet become lively, with only a few laborers looking for work.
He raised his hands flat, picked up the big fish basket and came to the Dongshi shop.
The man who was removing the door panel looked back:
"Brother Qi, is it so early? We haven't even opened yet!"
"Is Brother Shui here? I'm looking for him."
"I'm waiting on daddy in the backyard."
"okay."
"Did we catch treasure fish again? It looks heavy. Do you want me to help carry it, Brother Seven?"
"Need not."
Bai Qi shook his head with a smile and walked through the place where weighing, pricing, and delivery were done.
I saw the workers working on the road and greeted them one by one.
"Seventh Brother, are you here for breakfast?"
"You are in good spirits today, Brother Qi!"
"Brother Qi brought fish again?"
Bai Qi has long been a familiar face in Dongshi Shop, and he is kind-hearted and gets along well with everyone.
"Did you poke the Yinsha carp's fish nest? Are you carrying such a big fish basket so early in the morning?"
Liang Sanshui, who was busy preparing breakfast for his father, opened the steaming steamer and put the steamed buns into a bowl. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Bai Qi, who was wearing short straw sandals and knickerbockers:
"Freshly steamed white flour steamed buns are what my dad likes. I'm tired and get up every day before the chicken crows.
Come on, Ah Qi, take one and try it.
By the way, how are you doing with your strength training?
I forgot to tell you last time that there are more than ten kilograms of good medicinal materials in the warehouse.
There's no use keeping it until it gets moldy, I want you to take it..."
Bai Qi shook his head, put down the fish basket, and asked straight to the point:
"Brother Shui, I heard someone said that the manager of Dongshi Shop is vacant.
Do you want it? "
