He once thought about his various futures, living a life of licking blood all day long with his third brother, and eventually going to jail or being hacked to death...or he could change his ways, find a job, and live his life honestly.
this life...
But no matter how I thought about it, I never thought I would live like this:
Put on the banner of Ming Dynasty's official inspection, and then become a "fisherman".
What's even worse is that fishing is far from being as easy as one imagines.
Hong Tiaoyuan fishes easily, using the most primitive and simple natural fishing method, that is, rowing a sampan and installing a "cloth bag" with three bamboo poles on the shore side of the boat to support it away from the water.
There is a bamboo pole under the boat that is perpendicular to the forward direction of the boat. The bamboo pole lies horizontally in the water, basically close to the bottom of the water, but will never be too close to the bottom of the water to affect the progress of the boat.
The fishermen paddled their boats gracefully upstream along the river. The horizontal pole was in front and the fish pocket was beside them. As long as the horizontal pole swept across the bottom of the water, the frightened fish would jump out of the water, and some of them would jump out of the water.
Back in the water, but there are always some fish jumping in the wrong place, so they jump into the "butou"! The middle of the cloth pocket is a bit fallen, and it is difficult for the fish that jumped in to jump out again. As long as the fishermen are fishing along the shore
Keep paddling forward, and there will always be fish jumping into that cloth pocket.
It seems very simple, but it is difficult to do it.
Let Ding Yunyi, Xiao Yifeng, and Bao Juhua go into battle to fight and bleed with all their might. The three of them would never be ambiguous. But if they let three people fish according to this method, it would really cost them their lives.
Either there was something wrong with the direction of the boat, or "Butou" let go after following the boat for a while. In short, the three of them rowed for a long time, but they didn't even catch a single fish scale.
Xiao Yifeng and Bao Juhua were full of complaints. They originally thought that although Penghu was poorer, they would practice here with Ding Inspector for a period of time and accumulate some capital. Once they returned in the future, they would have the capital to make contributions. Who would have thought that now they are here?
I became a fisherman here.
And he's the kind of fisherman who can't catch any fish.
The real Penghu fishermen nearby couldn't help laughing when they saw the three people busy and clumsy.
These fishermen in Penghu were originally very xenophobic and didn't like to deal with outsiders. After Hong Tiaoyuan came to the island, it took him a long time to get along with them. I didn't expect Ding Yunyi and the three of them to look funny when they went out to fish.
However, the hostility of the Penghu fishermen disappeared, and they found these three people interesting. This was an unexpected gain.
"You can't catch fish like this." Suddenly, a smiling voice said from a fishing boat nearby.
The voice was sweet and beautiful. Ding Yunyi and the other three looked there, feeling refreshed and all unhappiness was forgotten.
She was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. Although her skin color was slightly darker because she had lived at sea all year round, she had a beautiful appearance, a straight nose, crimson lips, and a slim figure. Standing on a small sampan in the sun, she looked very lifelike.
She is a great beauty.
Ding Yunyi, Xiao Yifeng, and Bao Juhua all thought at the same time: It turns out that life at sea is also a lot of fun.
"Little girl, if you can't catch fish like this, how can you catch it?" Ding Yunyi asked without saying anything.
"Little girl? Are you very big?" The girl curled her lips, but she still pointed to their boat channel: "Tie the thread on the left side tighter and the right side looser, so that it will not loosen easily.
Already."
Ding Yunyi and the others were dubious, so they did what the girl taught them. After a try, "Butou" indeed became "honest".
Ding Yunyi was overjoyed at that time and said to the little sampan: "Thank you very much, little girl. What is your name?"
"My name is Axi, what's yours?"
"My name is Ding Yunyi, and I am the new patrol inspector of Peng Hubiao."
"Inspection inspection? How big an official is that?" Ah Xi asked, blinking.
Ding Yunyi was speechless for a moment, but just then Hong Tiaoyuan's fishing boat returned with a full load. Hearing this, he laughed and said: "Xiao Axi, the inspector is a very big official, he can take care of... he can take care of a whole Fujian!"
"Such a big official!" A Xi repeatedly gasped.
How embarrassing is Ding Yunyi that he still cares about a place as big as Fujian? He can't even control Penghu. Hong Tiaoyuan's bullshit has helped him exaggerate too much.
How did Ah Xi know how big an official was? He believed it. He immediately said, "Inspector, Mr. Hong doesn't get paid. Does it mean that an official as big as you can't get paid, so he has to go fishing by himself?"
"Ah, this..."
Ding Yunyi scratched his head, and Bao Juhua, who was beside him, helped to boast: "We, the inspectors, are the most upright and honest people, and the most willing to share the joys and sorrows with their subordinates. Since Mr. Hong and the brothers have to rely on fishing to make a living, we
Of course the same is true for the Inspector."
Ah Xi suddenly realized: "Then you are also a good official."
A good official? I, the "inspector," are barely related to officials. What I say in front of my superiors has no weight at all. We share the joys and sorrows? The dignified boss doesn't get paid. If I don't fish, how can I wait to starve?
Death? Ding Yunyi kept muttering in his heart.
But Ah Xi's innocent and innocent look makes everyone like her.
Those fishermen didn't know how big an official the inspection was. Listening to Hong Tiaoyuan and Bao Juhua singing, everyone thought that the new Ding Yunyi was an amazing official. Then a fisherman said:
"Inspector, a group of Hongyi came here a few days ago. They are from a certain company..."
"Dutch East India Company?" Ding Yunyi said helpfully.
"Yes, it's from this company." The fishermen nodded repeatedly: "The bad ones only come once. Every time they come, they ask us for food and drink. If they show slightest neglect, they will beat and scold them.
Mr. Hong had an argument with them once, and he almost started fighting with them. Mr. Hong said that we have few people and cannot defeat them. When the court sends high officials with troops in the future, we will teach them a lesson. This time you
Are you here to teach those Hongyi a lesson?"
Lesson? Just the three of us teach the Dutch? Ding Yunyi said bravely: "The fleet of the Dutch East India Company has been defeated by Zou Weilian and Zou Fushuai. I don't think I will dare to cause trouble again?"
"But what if it comes again?" the fisherman asked reluctantly.
Seeing that all the fishermen around him were looking forward to him, as if he was his backbone, Ding Yunyi suddenly became proud and said: "If you come back again, I'll beat the crap out of them!"
The fishermen were startled at first, and then cheered:
"The inspection sir is wise. If you come back again, you will beat them to a pulp!"
