Chapter 31: Rivers and Lakes

In the past life, if you went to any barbecue restaurant or barbecue stall, you could see dozens of kinds of barbecue items.

Just like a chicken, you can have chicken legs, chicken wings, chicken breasts, chicken skin, chicken gizzards, chicken hearts, chicken livers, chicken heads, chicken necks, chicken feet, and beautiful chickens. In some places, there are eggs, yolks, hairy eggs, and so on. It is really the so-called chicken you are so beautiful.

And these are often not made by the barbecue parties themselves, but already have an independent supply industry chain.

Independent supply, coupled with convenient refrigerated transportation, allows the national cargo flow to be concentrated in any small place, so don’t be surprised that you can eat goods from the Northeast at a stall in the southwest, and don’t be surprised that you can eat seafood in the inland

, you can eat wild food at the beach.

It's different here. The things on the stalls are things from the surrounding area, and the scope of this "peripheral" is still very narrow.

Therefore, the types and prices of barbecue items on the stalls truly reflect the small ecological situation here.

"The good pork in Huangzhou is as cheap as dung."

This is what Su Dongpo said when he was demoted to Huangzhou as a criminal official in his previous life.

Why is good pork so cheap as dirt? This is not just a matter of "the rich don't want to eat it, and the poor don't know how to cook it."

"Cooking" can't stop it from being cheap.

So the real reason is that it sits on the Yangtze River, and at the same time, various rivers and lakes of various sizes crisscross the territory.

Aquatic products are so abundant!

So, if you don’t know how to cook it, the pork will fall into the inferior category.

Pork, which the majority of the working people refused to eat, came into the eyes of the impoverished Su Dongpo, and then turned into Dongpo meat.

So since no one likes to eat it and the price is extremely cheap, why would anyone raise pigs?

That's because for rural people, there are always some leftovers. Even if there is no food left, there will always be leftover rice. Even if there is no rice left, there will always be water to wash the pot.

Then, whether wheat is ground into flour or rice is pounded into rice, there will be "by-products" such as wheat bran and rice bran, which are not easily eaten by humans, but are good feed for pigs.

Furthermore, there are many wild grasses and waterweeds in the fields, mountains and rivers, which are all excellent pig vegetables.

If you don't raise pigs, all these things will be wasted, but if you use them to raise pigs, it can be said that you are beating children on a rainy day, and you will be idle when you are idle.

Even if the pigs can't be sold at a high price, it doesn't cost any money for a family to raise one or two pigs. At most, it only requires a little effort, and then they are sold at the end of the year, which can provide a small subsidy for the family.

It's impossible to use it to get rich, but it's okay to use it to buy three melons and two dates.

This is the reason why it seems unreasonable but is actually reasonable.

At this time, at this barbecue stall, Xu Guangling discovered that there were only three kinds of fish used for barbecue here, and many stalls only had the same two kinds, and the prices were not very cheap.

There are mountain products, which are not cheap but can be used as barbecue items that are in great demand.

So here, there is either a lot of water but little aquatic products, or there is a lot of aquatic products but they are controlled at the source, and there is a "tiger sitting on the ground"; then there will be a lot of water in small areas such as small hills and lakes, and if it is not done well, there will be formation of

The scale of "Torizawa" and "Torishima".

This is from a secular, ecological distribution perspective.

But through tasting, what Xu Guangling learned was something on another level.

If you taste fish, you will know the water; if you taste birds, you will know the lake; if you taste the hare, pheasant, etc., you will know the vegetation.

If he just takes a casual walk around here, he will immediately become the geography and biology expert here.

Xu Guangling ordered more, but ate less, and very little. He usually only tasted something.

And he ate very slowly.

So most of them ended up in Xu Tonghui's belly.

Xu Tonghui was satisfied with his meal. After all, he would never have been able to enjoy such a "gluttonous meal" when he was in the family. However, at the same time, he suffered from toothache and stomachache from eating, especially when it was time to pay the bill.

"How much? Three hundred and forty dollars?!"

His voice is a bit loud.

As he left the stall and walked back, he finally couldn't help but persuade, "Master, did we spend a little too much?"

"Really, it's just a little bit too much? No, then we will have to spend more every day from now on!" Xu Guangling said with a smile.

"Master!" Xu Tonghui was a little dumbfounded.

At this moment, a big man approached as if he was drunk. His target seemed to be Xu Guangling.

But when he was still four or five meters away, Xu Tonghui stepped forward and kicked out. The big man fell down and rolled four to five meters on the ground, holding his chest and abdomen and screaming in agony.

"Go away! You blind thing! If those beads didn't shine, I would have dug them out long ago to avoid getting into trouble and dragging people down!"

Not only that, he also followed up and stepped heavily on it, firmly trampling the big man's hands holding his chest and abdomen under his feet.

Then, completely ignoring the screams of pain and groans at his feet, he raised his voice and shouted to the people around him: "Whose beast is this? Is someone here to drag it away?"

For a long time, no one answered or came forward.

Only then did Xu Tonghui put his foot down, then came to Xu Guangling and said, "Master, let's go."

After walking for a while, leaving the beach entrance and returning to the previous street, Xu Tonghui explained in considerable detail:

"Master, we must have been a bit lavish in eating and drinking just now, so we were targeted."

"That person is a tempter. If we don't handle it properly and get entangled with him, someone will follow him, maybe a few, or maybe dozens, and then something will happen."

"Is this okay? Will they touch the place where we live in the middle of the night?" Xu Guangling asked.

"Don't worry, young master!" Xu Tonghui patted his chest, as if he was considering taking the actor route, "I already said it secretly later."

"I asked which family the beast belonged to and if anyone would come to drag it away. I told him that I knew there was someone behind me and asked if I wanted to come out and retrieve the place. But no one came, which means they gave up on the matter. I was so happy.

Admit defeat."

"Oh, that means you reached an agreement with the group behind you based on this sentence?" Xu Guangling asked.

"It's like this, young master." Xu Tonghui explained, "If there was someone behind that person, then there must have been an accomplice nearby just now on lookout, maybe the whole group was there, so the result was like that. And if there was no one behind that person

, it’s just him, so he doesn’t have anything to worry about. If I lend him ten courages, he won’t dare to provoke me again.”

"This is normal."

"Even if that person or the group of people behind him are obsessed by Netherworld and want to find a way back, young master, we don't have to worry. People like this are definitely not even close to the monks. How much do I have to do?"

You can hit as many as you want."

"If the other party really involves monks, then we are not afraid anymore. Young Master, a few days ago, didn't the Lord of Jiuqu City and several families here go to our family to congratulate us? In this city, what we are least afraid of is,

That’s the monk.”

"As long as we show our name, no matter it's the city lord's palace or several major aristocratic families, they will try their best to curry favor with us."

"So, young master, just relax, nothing will happen to you!" Xu Tonghui said in detail all the way.

"Well, not bad." Xu Guangling nodded slightly.

This is not a clear praise, but Xu Tonghui is happy in his heart.

It’s best to do such little things more often in the future!

But not too much, otherwise it would be bad if it annoys the young master.
