Chapter 380: Food in the Hands of Maritime Merchants
Zhen Qian also thought in his heart, the Buddha sound is very good, and he bought a lot of Buddha sound CDs in his previous life, and when he was irritable, the whole person seemed to be much more relaxed, and the heart that was stirred by the hustle and bustle of the world was greatly soothed, and there was a "bang"!
Zhen Qian heard the sound and looked back at the bow of the boat, Wei Tuyi was bare, swinging the wooden hammer in his hand and striking on the crossbow machine of the Eight Bull Crossbow, a five-foot-long arrow flew out of the bow of the boat with a whistle, and shot at the side of a shark far away, almost hitting the shark.
The eight-ox crossbow is expected to go up the mountain, and it basically won't miss after aiming, but at sea, the undulating waves shake the ship so badly that it either shoots far or close, and Witui doesn't know what to do, but he knows that it takes time for the arrow to fly in the air, but this time is not easy to master.
Zhen Qian is also a giant on his lips, and it makes a lot of sense to say it, and when he says the amount in advance, the people around him look at him with adoring eyes, and when he operates it, things are often miserable.
Pilates dressed like Wittui re-loaded with arrows, the figures of the two were too "deviant", and the standard armor could not fit into their bodies at all, and they wanted to hunt two sharks to make a set of shark skin armor, which is said to have the function of avoiding water and splitting waves, and is usually hard to find.
Not only sharks can be seen at sea, but also dolphins, which are naturally very close to humans and like to chase boats.
The two guys originally wanted to hunt dolphins, but after hearing that killing dolphins would bring bad luck, they decisively gave up such an idea.
Zhen Qian likes creatures like dolphins very much, and when he sees dolphins cruising by the boat, he will throw a few sea fish down, and when he sees the frolicking dolphins calling to his "warbler", his mood is much better.
Life at sea is boring, you can see either the blue sky or the sea, and after leaving the coastline, those seabirds flying in the sky are rarely seen, but occasionally a seabird is seen falling from the sky and resting on the side of the ship, and sailors generally do not drive away when they see such a situation.
Ke Ming said that the seabirds resting on the boat can be seen, indicating that there is no strong wind nearby (typhoons were called strong winds in the Tang Dynasty), which means peace.
He is not omnipotent, if he doesn't know how to pretend to understand at sea, he is looking for death, this is not such an esoteric truth, what Zhen Qian doesn't understand, he will shut up and leave it to professionals to do, Ke Ming is such a professional.
As long as he is at sea, Zhen Qian himself has to obey Ke Ming's arrangement, all the materials are uniformly dispatched and quantitatively supplied, even the cleanliness problem that he likes to bathe, he has to stop mentioning it with interest, and there is only a certain bucket of water per person every day, this is still because Zhen Qian's identity has half a bucket more, and ordinary people can only barely maintain daily drinking water.
If you really want to bathe, there is no way, you can tie a rope and jump into the sea, as long as you can adapt to bathing in salt water, you can wash as much as you want. Another way is to wait for the rain and stand on the boat to let the rain shower, this feeling of standing under the sky and bathing is only liked by people who have been at sea for a long time.
After five or six days of floating on the sea, Zhen Qian felt that he could already fight with salted fish, and dipped a wet towel in water on his body a little bit, and with a hard pinch of it, he could see black mud stains, and finally wet his upper body, and a copper basin of water had turned into pitch-black ink, so that Zhen Qian had no idea of continuing to wash.
The ship's maritime stewards were clearly well adapted to such a life, and the low and stuffy cabin was like a place to sleep for them, and in their own words, they closed their eyes when they were at sea, and did not go on board if they wanted to be happy.
These maritime stewards knew when to relax and when to shut up, and they liked to sleep in the cabin during the day, and even if they could not sleep, they would not run to the deck to block the sailors, but when the evening came, when the ship stopped to rest, they came out of the cabin like marmots and drank the good wine and food they had brought with them.
Zhen Qian found that he underestimated the ability of these maritime stewards to entertain themselves, except for more than 20 singers who went to the Japanese kingdom on the ship, there were no other women in sight, there was no music and dancing, they knocked on the dishes and screamed by themselves, and a few of them sang hometown songs that were quite interesting.
"Since the king's appearance, the spider weaves on the wall. Close-up to see the concubine's heart, night after night without rest.
The concubine has a double jade ring, and she remembers each other. The ring is the heart of the concubine, and the jade is the virtue of the king.
Emotions increase the appearance, and the energy is lost. The jade is cold and sad, and she thinks about it with compassion.
The wind is frosty and the moon is bright, and the water is blue and the sky is blue. When this water is exhausted, there is no end to this feeling. ”
More often than not, they are throwing pots and throwing dice to gamble, sometimes sitting by the boat and fishing with the sea breeze to entertain themselves, and they will dance with wine when they are bored, which is not surprising at the wine banquet in the Tang Dynasty.
But what they like the most is to ask Light Smoke to play a song for them, as for what to play is not important, especially watching a green veil sitting on the bow of the boat and stroking the piano, when the bright moonlight sprinkles on Light Smoke, like a spotless fairy, these people can't wait to stretch their necks and learn to howl wolf a few times.
"Shopkeeper Xia's air-dried meat is well done, it is not soft or hard to chew, and there are a lot of spices in it!"
"The flavor of the shopkeeper Lu is a must, even if you don't run at sea in the future, you can buy a huge family business with this skill of dried tofu?"
"Lord Zhen! You're kidding! ”
"Do you think I'm laughing? I don't believe it, I paid 100 yuan to buy the recipe in your hand, don't say I didn't remind you? ”
Seasickness is actually a process of adapting to the wind and waves at sea, as long as you can't die, you will always adapt, in Ke Ming's words, when you shake with the waves when you eat, you won't be seasick, Zhen Qian thinks that this is a process of adaptation.
Zhen Qian thinks that he has begun to adapt to the bumps in the sea, because he can easily catch the fish fillets in the hot pot by sitting in the bow of the boat and holding chopsticks in his hand.
The maritime steward was very happy to see Zhen Qian sitting and eating with him, and listening to Zhen Qian's mouth gushing about the food he brought, the maritime steward's face blossomed with joy.
"The air-dried pig ears taste good, but there is more salt, try it with some peppercorns and cinnamon next time?"
Food is fine is food, a local customs create a local flavor, some people like to eat sweets, some people like to put vinegar in the food, most of the food in the hands of maritime merchants can be stored for a long time, there are a lot of spices in it, can be eaten as a vegetable, can also be eaten temporarily, Zhen Qian believes that they can continue to study this kind of food, the preservation technology of the Tang Dynasty should have a great development.
