The further away from Chang'an, the more curious Sun Simiao became about Wang Kuang.

What he couldn't understand was that it was a chore to go from Chang'an to Jian'an, and he had already told His Majesty very clearly that the faster you go to Jian'an, the better. One was that he felt that Wang Kuang's "condition" was. Since it was a terminal illness, the sooner it was diagnosed and treated, the better it was; the other was that this was summer, and the high incidence of hot and cold diseases, especially in the prefectures and counties on both sides of the river. Many people died of this every summer and autumn. If you could get a way to treat hot and cold diseases one day earlier and return to both sides of the river one day earlier, you would die less this year.

He also heard Li Shimin's orders and had to walk non-stop along the way. When he encountered any obstacles, he would directly take out the edict and scold him.

It was definitely a chore to travel thousands of miles, but he did not expect that after he led the small captain who was going to the barracks to select sergeants to the barracks, he heard that he was going to Jian'an, and many people were blushing in favour of the quota to Jian'an. Could it be that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have practiced to be comparable to saints and are so noble? They are fighting to bear the hardships and difficulties?

The surprise was still behind. After leaving, these soldiers and grooms basically didn't like to go to the inn, nor did they like to go to the restaurants in the towns. They all arrived at the time and found a secluded wilderness to bury rice in a pot. In Sun Simiao's opinion, these soldiers were not like soldiers who could charge in battle, but more like kids. They could make delicious food, such as bamboo tube rice, beggar chicken, grilled fish, and barbecue. Almost everyone could do it with one or two hands, and even the vegetarian food prepared for him was very rich.

After asking, I found out that most of these sergeants have been to Jian'an, and some have been to several times. They said that they were all learned from Xuan Delang and they did not show off without pride. Now, as long as they carry a scythe on their bodies, it would be extremely difficult to get hungry for them. They don't know how much food there is in the world to eat, but they know that many things around them are delicious, with meat and vegetarian elements.

Some soldiers also demonstrated on the spot. He took a branch, sharpened one end, found a piece of soil and dug it open, and then pulled it out with his hands, and took out a white insect as thick as a thumb from the soil (this is the cicada larvae. The cicada larvae had to live in the soil for several years, and then shed a cocoon and died after a summer). He used a small bamboo stick, drizzled it clean, roasted it on the fire, sprinkled some oil and sprinkled some salt, and sent it to his mouth to eat with relish.

Sun Simiao was a Taoist, but as a doctor, he had to taste all herbs, and sometimes even insects had to taste. Therefore, for him, the Taoist precepts did not matter whether they were followed or not. It was just that they could not be broken. However, when he was away all year round, sometimes looking for food, it was inevitable that he would taste the meat occasionally.

Along the way, there were also the soldiers who followed Xu Guoxu to recruit Wang Kuang for the first time. They told Sun Simiao vividly how Xuan Delang was so speechless that he had been instructed by the enlightened practitioner. Now the enlightened practitioner has become a disciple. It’s just that Xuan Delang doesn’t recognize him as his disciple. He also said that after that, the enlightened practitioner will no longer quit meat and eat whatever he has.

If you want to ask again, the sergeant couldn't explain why. He just said that Xuan Delang divided all things in the world into animals and plants. Humans are animals, vegetables, flowers and plants are plants. Why are they divided like this, what is the reason and what is the basis? These sergeants couldn't say. They just understood it literally, and the plants need to be planted in the soil as plants, and the others are animals. If they were divided like this, it would be basically correct.

Therefore, it was a rare first time that Sun Yaowang began to taste meat when the food was full, which surprised his followers.

When they arrived in Chizhou, these soldiers cast a flag on the bow of the boat. The flag was tied randomly to the pole with a piece of white kudzu, and the word "Jian'an" was written temporarily and crookedly. But it was strange that when the fishing boats saw these two words, they moved things to Sun Simiao and the others, such as dried fish or fresh fish caught. Basically, they all had food on the fishing boats, and they all moved here, and the soldiers also accepted it calmly.

When asked about the reason, a soldier pointed to the fishing boat not far away and said, "Please look at the old god."

When Sun Simiao saw that the fishing boats faced the river and formed a half-moon shape. The fishermen did not rush to cast a net, but instead took a wooden stick in their hands and knocked them on the boat twice, as if they were just knocking, which would make the fish jump onto the boat automatically.

"What are they doing?" Sun Simiao's entourage was puzzled.

"Let's just look." After all, Sun Yaowang has a wide range of knowledge and knows that fishermen must make sense to do this. It is impossible for them to just stand like this. If fishermen don't fish, they will no longer call fishermen.

In the meantime, fishing boats continued to join the half-month circle, which basically filled the whole half-month. Moreover, after these newly added fishing boats stopped, they would knock on the boat gang with wooden sticks, and then wait quietly.

The soldiers parked the ship outside the half-month circle and explained, "We have to wait for a stick of incense before our ship can pass, otherwise their net will be lost."

In half a stick of incense, a white wave was raised on the river surface in the distance, and the waves were also half-moon-shaped, moving around the fishing boats that were half-moon. At this time, the fishermen on the fishing boats that were surrounded by half-moon-shaped were then down the nets. The nets they were down were strange. They were not the upside down bucket-shaped that was thrown out and covered from the water surface, but a cube with an opening facing upwards, one side lowered and three sides higher. The mouth was stretched out with either a bamboo pole or a wooden stick, and the lower side was pulled out along the boat and down the water.

Gradually, the waves got closer and closer. When two and a half months closed, they formed a complete circle, and fish jumped out of the water from time to time, and the water rolled like boiling. Those who couldn't understand also understood that there were a large number of fish in this circle, and only when there were too many fish until they were crowded, would there be such a tumultuous scene.

At this time, the half-moon circle moving from afar was broken from time to time, and occasionally one or two gray spines exposed to the water surface, rushing towards the fish in the circle.

The fishermen still didn't move. After the river water rolled for about a cup of tea, they shouted one after another. The wooden sticks in their hands hit the boat a few times, and then stopped for a while before they started to get up.

After knocking for a few times, the fishermen saw the half-moon circles made of gray and white spines dispersed, but they did not scatter. Instead, they tumbling around the periphery, poking out a large spine from the water from time to time, and then drilling into the water. However, they were all a distance away from the fishing boat, and they did not rush into the fishing net.

I saw that almost every fishing boat was full of fishing bags. At this time, the net was open, and everyone realized that the mesh of the net used by these fishermen to catch fish was much larger than other places.

The bigger the mesh, the more small fish will be missing. Everyone understands this principle. When you see the fish full of fish again, you will know why you need to use the big-eyed net. There are so many big fish, what are the small fish going to do?

The fishermen who set up the net did not leave, but poured the fish in the net into the boat warehouse. Some people started picking and picking up them, and occasionally took a small fish, knocked them with a wooden stick, knocked them to death or knock them out, and then shouted and threw them at the gray and white backs.

Even Sun Simiao, who was well-informed, was stunned. He only saw that whenever the fish thrown by the fishermen touched the water surface, one or several of them had grayish white backs, pointed and pointed mouths, and a large fish with a squeaking squeaking out of the water surface. Whenever the fish threw out the fish, they would catch the fish and fall back into the water.

Could it be that the half month just now were made up of these big fish? The fishing methods of these Chizhou people are too strange, too labor-saving, and too incredible. I have never heard of hunters having hunting dogs to help hunt, but I didn’t expect that today I actually saw the big fish that could help fishermen fish. Could it be that these big fish were raised manually like hunting dogs since childhood?

Sun Simiao was very puzzled and asked the soldiers to call a fisherman to ask clearly. The fisherman was a little unhappy at first because other fishing boats had already set up anchors to find another place to fish, and he wanted to go with him. But the boat he asked himself to ask was a person who went to Jian'an. Maybe he had something to do with Xuan Delang? If not, he would not have such a flag, so he came over.

When I heard that this was the old god's boat, the old god was going to Jian'an to see Xuan Delang, the fisherman knelt down at Sun Simiao: "Old god, you must take a good look at Xuan Delang. If Xuan Delang's illness can be cured, I will be at peace in my heart."

The news that Wang Kuang was suffering from a terminal illness was known by Li Laoer's publicity. Almost everyone in the world.

Unexpectedly, Xuan Delang was not only so loved in Jian'an, but also the Chizhou people also loved him so much. Sun Simiao added another point to Wang Kuang in his heart.

After asking about their fishing methods in detail, I realized that this fishing method was actually taught by Wang Kuang. The big fish is a porpoise, which is extremely spiritual. After the fishermen surrounded the boat into a half-moon shape, they knocked on the boat gang, which was to inform the porpoise, which means that the boat has arrived at its location. You can also prepare. When there is no more knocking, the porpoise will circle around from a distance for a half-month circle, gathering the fish in the water toward the direction of the fishing boat.

Once the circle is closed for two and a half months, you have to wait for the cup of tea. That is to leave some time for the porpoise to eat. In order to prevent the porpoise from accidentally hurting the porpoise, you have to knock on the boat gang before starting the net and notify the porpoise that you are preparing to start the net here, and then the porpoise will scatter a little further after getting the news.

However, the porpoise will not go far. First, there are still many fish in the water, and second, they know that the fishermen will throw fish to them, so they only cruised outside.

When the fishermen knock on the boat again and shout and throw the fish into the water, the porpoises that had not eaten enough just now will jump out of the water to catch the fish thrown by the fishermen.

After the fishermen finish work, they will still knock on the boat gang a few more times, either notifying the porpoise that it has finished work, or notifying the porpoise that it has stopped working, or telling the porpoise that it has another place to catch a net. What does it mean by knocking a few times means? It is all of them.

"At first, only a few fishermen believed Xuan Delang's words and did what Xuan Delang said. At the beginning, it was not effective, but over time, they found that as Xuan Delang said, those porpoises were familiar with the sound of knocking on the boat, and gradually more and more porpoises cooperated with the fishing boats. Later, this method became more and more widely spread. Now the catch of fishermen in Chizhou area is much higher than before."

"Then you are catching more and more fish, aren't you afraid of fishing all the fish in the river?"

"Xuan Delang said that as long as the net is opened and the small fish is released, as long as the big fish are, the small fish will always grow into big fish." The fisherman smiled silly and scratched his arm: "Xuan Delang also said that the more fish caught, the cheaper the fish price. Therefore, whenever the fish price is reduced, the number of fish will be reduced, or the fish will not be caught for a while, and wait until the fish price rises before. Anyway, it is very easy to raise a family."

"And it is also true that after the beginning of spring and the beginning of summer, I didn't catch fish, and I still had fields to plant at home. Xuan Delang also said that at the turn of spring and summer, it is the time when fish lay eggs. The more fish lay eggs, the more fish there will be in the future, and it will be just spring plowing. So I just stopped fishing, so I had to leave some for my descendants."

Monuments were erected on the riverside pier in Chizhou area, saying that the plunders could not be harmed. Sun Simiao knew about this, but he had always traveled on his legs before, and rarely took a boat like this time. He had never seen a plunders or a fishermen in Chizhou fishing. He had never understood why he did this. Now he finally knew that this was done by Wang Kuang. Protecting the plunders is to establish a trust relationship between the plunders and the fishermen and help the fishermen fishing.

In this way, it is easy for fishermen to catch fish, and it is also easy for river porpoise to eat. This is a mutually beneficial thing.

Seeing how easy the fishermen fished and how great the harvest was, Sun Yaowang understood why these fishermen sent the fish so enthusiastically when they saw the word Jian'an. It was really because of his gratitude to Xuan Delang. No wonder the fisherman heard that he was going to Jian'an to see Xuan Delang, so he insisted on taking a good look at Xuan Delang. As an official, what else can he ask for?

Many things that happened along the river seemed to be related to Wang Kuang. Sun Simiao began to feel a little numb. If he saw something strange and had nothing to do with Wang Kuang, he would find it incredible.

Wang Kuang didn't know that Sun Yaowang had made a special trip to come for his "terminal illness".

Wang Kuangzheng was exhausted and looked for chicodile. What he wanted was not a little bit, but a lot.

Chicory is a type of bitter vegetable. It is everywhere in the fields of Minyue. Wang Kuang, who later generations liked to eat it very much. He liked to eat dried chicory. The dried chicory is called dried chicory, which is usually called dried chicory. It is stewed with ribs, small intestine or large bones. It smells very smelly and has a smell of feet, but it tastes very fragrant. Almost everyone will frown when they smell the stewed dried chicory for the first time. When they look at the brown soup and other things, they don’t think it’s good. But as long as they eat it, there is nothing they don’t like. Wang Kuang remembers that when he was a child, not many people ate dried chicory, but in the two years he wore it, a pound of dried chicory had been sold for forty or fifty yuan, and it may not be possible to buy it.

In the past, Wang Kuang was in a bad mood and had no conditions to eat. The bitter vegetables alone did not taste good. It must be oil and water and broth to taste good. So when Wang Kuang was digging wild vegetables with Wang Xian in the original Taoist temple, he had no need to dig it, or the mutton soup given by E Yue and the mutton soup were much thicker than before, so he dug it to eat. Later, he went to Fulai Inn. Although the conditions were good, he was busy forgetting about this.

During this period, it was because the sun was too poisonous, which made people dizzy. Many people at home often ran out, and some were heatstroke. Although mung beans relieve heat, the effect was actually not as good as bitter vegetable. Moreover, bitter vegetable soup is both a vegetable and a good thing to relieve heat and reduce heat. It has both vegetables and actual effects, killing two birds with one stone. So Wang Kuang then remembered to dry bitter vegetable.

So the poster column at the entrance of Fulai Inn was posted, saying that it was a large amount of dried chicodile vegetables, and it also said in detail how to dry them. Because most people were illiterate, a friend stood by and explained on the first day. On the second day, everyone knew that Fulai Inn wanted to collect dried chicodile vegetables. The children had nothing to do, so they were mobilized by the adults, either in the morning or in the evening, carrying a bamboo basket and carrying a basket and so on, and went to the fields to pick them.

After picking a full basket, I washed the chicodile vegetables by the river and took them home. I had already cooked a pot of water at home. I threw the chicodile vegetables in and burned them, then picked them up, and then spread them on a basket to dry. If the sun is big, it only takes one day to dry it, and it will be broken when pinched.

Chicory needs to be boiled water and then dried. It means that most of the oxalic acid content in it is to remove the high content of oxalic acid so that it will not be numb to taste (all vegetables that taste numb to taste numb are high in oxalic acid and cannot be cooked with tofu). When it is time to be cooked, soak the dried vegetables in water and throw them directly into the soup and stew them with the meat. There is no need to add anything, ginger slices, wine and salt. The stewed soup is either brown or dark green, and this color is related to the time of picking and storage of bitter vegetables. Early picking and drying is dark green when eaten, and the next year it will turn brown, but the effect is the same, and the storage time does not affect the effect.

A child only needs to go out once in the morning and once in the evening. The next day, he can dry about one pound of dried bitter vegetables. He can get five cents when he is sent to Fulai Inn. This is no less than the income of adults for a day. Those who are more diligent, quick-witted, and even earn much more than adults.

Therefore, since the posting was released, I always saw many children every morning or evening, walking in groups of three or five into the fields and up the mountain. I continued to pick them until I went further and further away, and some even walked more than ten miles away. Seeing that the situation was wrong, Wang Kuang hurriedly asked to stop and stopped collecting them. At this time, the dried bitter vegetables had already been stocked up to hundreds of kilograms.

It doesn't matter if an adult walks for more than ten miles or dozens of miles. Children are different. One is that they are easily lost. The other is that if they encounter wild animals, they are easily hurt. If something happens, it will be too late. Wang Kuang doesn't want to push the children to the brink of danger for such a few chicod.

Naturally, with dried bitter vegetables, Fulai Inn launched a new dish. When other restaurants and restaurants saw it, they realized that Fulai Inn intended to collect dried bitter vegetables that no one liked before, so they all came and ordered some dried bitter vegetables for them. They also wanted to have one or two more dishes. Fulai Inn didn't make much money, six cents per kilogram, and deducting labor costs and storage costs, it was basically equivalent to not making any profit.

Of course, Wang Kuang looked down on this little money. He didn't have technical content. He made money more than he did not make a profit. In terms of word of mouth, compared with the two, he naturally had a good reputation. He didn't have to rely on this little money.
