Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 15 The fish soup is so delicious!
In the following days, Su Yun tried to think of ways to persuade Governor Chen, but he had no real opportunity.

When faced with something like this that involves political risks, it is not something that can be resolved simply by giving gifts or money. There are too many things to consider.

We must give Governor Chen a plausible reason to appease the people in the court before he can take some risks.

However, such a reason is not easy to find, so Su Yun has not taken any action yet.

On this day, Su Shi still hid in the room and refused to come out. Su Yun was bored, so he came to the riverside. He had an important thing to do today.

He has been preparing fishing tools during this period. Huangzhou is just a small place and there is no specialized fishing tackle store, so he can only find a way to make it himself.

As for fishing rods and other things, he secretly went up the mountain a few days ago to select suitable bamboo, which he then cut into a round shape, straightened, and even made a fire to roast and straighten it. After that, he even boiled it with oil to increase its toughness.

There is no one who specializes in selling fishing lines in Huangzhou, so Su Yun’s task today is to find fishermen on the river to buy them.

He walked along the Yangtze River for a long time, and when he saw fishermen sorting their fishing nets on the shore, he hurried over.

"Morning, uncle. Are you sorting out your fishing nets?"

The fisherman looked at Su Yun unhappily and said, "Brother, if you have eye problems, I know a doctor in the city who is good at treating eye diseases."

Su Yun was immediately annoyed and asked, "How can you talk like that?"

The fisherman took off his hat and angrily said, "I will speak the same way as you do! You are a man in your twenties, but you call me an old man who is less than 20 years old. How polite of you!"

Oh, Su Yun took a closer look and found that it was just a young man. However, it was not Su Yun's fault. The fisherman was wearing old clothes and was hunched over as he sorted the fishing nets. The key point was that his skin was dark from being exposed to the wind and sun. He looked like an old fisherman.

Su Yun felt a little ashamed, but then he became angry again and said, "I suggest you go see an eye doctor. I'm only 15 years old, how come I look like a 20-something?"

The fisherman was stunned, looked at Su Yun for a moment, then laughed and said, "Ha, it turns out you are younger than me, hahahaha..."

The fisherman couldn't stop laughing. Su Yun looked at him speechlessly. Seeing that he couldn't stop, he raised his foot and walked away.

"Hey, young man, what did you call me for?"

The fisherman called Su Yun.

Su Yun turned around and said, "I want to buy some fishing line. Do you have any?"

The young fisherman heard this and said, "Yes, we do. Do you want to fish?"

Su Yun nodded and said, "Yes, the fishing rods are ready, but we are short of fishing line and hooks. If you have any extra ones, I would like to buy some."

The young fisherman chuckled and said, "Don't buy it. It's useless. Fish in this river are not easy to catch. Look over there."

Su Yun looked in the direction the boy pointed and saw a man fishing on the shore. He looked at the boy in confusion, and the boy chuckled and said, "Do you know why that man comes to me to buy fish every day?"

Su Yun was furious when he heard this: "Don't look down on me. I've been fishing many times and never failed to catch anything. I don't have to come to you to buy fish to save face!"

The young man chuckled a few times without knowing what the meaning was, then he took out a few rolls of fishing line from the boat, picked up a few fish hooks, and handed them to Su Yun, saying, "I go ashore here every morning, around this time. After this time, you have to come to my house to find me.

Look, that's the thatched house over there. Don't worry that I don't have fish there. I dug a fish pond and kept the fish that I couldn't sell. You can come anytime, I'll always have fish."

Su Yun: “…”

Su Yun was silent for a while, then asked, "How much?" The young man smiled and said, "Forget it, it's not worth much. Just buy more fish from me in the future."

Su Yun: “…”

If you weren't young, I would definitely beat you up!
The young man had no time to pay attention to Su Yun. He took out a large fish basket from the cabin, which was filled with many big fish.

Seeing that he was struggling, Su Yun reached out to help take it. The young man was stunned for a moment, then let go and said, "Be careful, don't fall into the river."

Su Yun carried the huge fish basket and walked briskly to the shore. The young man followed behind him, amazed at Su Yun's strength and said enviously, "I wish I had your physique."

Su Yun smiled and looked at the big fresh fish in the fish basket. His mouth immediately began to salivate. He had lived in Dinghui Courtyard for so many days and always ate vegetarian food, which made his mouth taste dry. Seeing these big fish, the glutton in his stomach began to stir.

Su Yun said: "Can you make fish soup, fish sashimi, chopped pepper fish head, squirrel fish, braised fish, grilled fish, boiled fish, braised fish cubes...?"

As soon as Su Yun opened his mouth, he could name a dozen ways to cook fish.

The young fisherman exclaimed and looked at Su Yun in confusion.

Su Yun smiled and said, "You bring out the fish, and I'll cook it."

The young fisherman shook his head like a rattle and said, "No, I have to keep it to sell for money."

Su Yun smiled and said, "Then I'll buy fish from you, you cook it for me, and I'll pay you for it, is that ok?"

The boy said, "I only know how to make fish soup."

Su Yun asked, "Is it delicious?"

The young man showed a proud look and said, "Everyone who has eaten it says it's good. If it's not delicious, you don't have to pay. That's what I said."

Su Yun laughed and said, "Okay, if it's really delicious, I'll be empty-handed in the future... Bah! I'll ask you to make fish soup when I catch fish, and I'll pay you enough!"

The young man smiled and said, "You fish yourself and come to my house for dinner. Why do you want money? My family relies on selling fish to buy rice. Otherwise, I wouldn't want this money from you."

Su Yun laughed, took out a piece of silver from his pocket and threw it to the boy. The boy hurriedly caught it, and saw that it was a piece of silver weighing nearly two taels. He was immediately frightened and said, "This fish is not worth so much money. Just give me a hundred coins."

Su Yun smiled and said, "Keep it. I'll have to trouble you a lot in the future. Just count it together."

Hearing Su Yun say this, the young man happily collected the food and made a very delicious fish soup for Su Yun.

Su Yun took the fishing line and hooks with satisfaction, made a few sets of fishing rods, and went to the river to start fishing the next day.

The first time I went fishing, I used leftover rice to make a nest and used earthworms as bait, but came up empty-handed. I went to the boy’s house to drink fish soup.

The second time I went fishing, I specifically looked for some minced meat and pig offal to make a nest, and used pig liver as bait. I came back empty-handed, so I went to the boy’s house to drink fish soup.

The third time I went fishing, I made bait with wine. I fermented leftover rice, minced meat and pork liver together to make a nest with a very strong smell. I soaked earthworms in the bait and used them as bait. I came up empty-handed, so I went to the boy's house to drink fish soup.

The Air Force is the Air Force, but the fish soup is really delicious, and Su Yun also made a good friend in Huangzhou.

Life in Huangzhou also became interesting.
