Chapter 114 Fishing
This fish has a name, and it is called cold water fish in modern times. Tao Jin didn't know the specific name. But he knew that it was a fish with extremely high nutritional value, and it had no fishy smell and the meat was particularly delicious. Of course, Tao Jin knew about this because he had worked in a sushi restaurant before, so he learned a little.
When I saw this fish in the fish market, Tao Jin remembered the little fur I learned in the sushi restaurant before, so I wanted to try it out, is this fresh dish possible? I don’t think this fish is really OK, because I was competitive at this time and caused trouble for myself. Tao Jin felt a little annoyed.
Now the New Year's Day is coming soon, and I am about to enter the palace. Let's go there to find a fish like that! Tao Jin dragged his head and looked at the sparkling water surface with dejected expression.
Several old fishing men passed by Tao Jin and thought something had happened to Tao Jin. They patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Young man, what's wrong?"
The old men were all wearing coarse cloth clothes, but they were wearing the leisure that Tao Jin rarely saw. Tao Jin smiled bitterly and briefly said about the stuff he was stuffy.
This person has too many thoughts and always needs to vent. Although it is not the best way, it can solve some of the pressure in his heart.
One of the old men carrying a fishing rod on his shoulder laughed proudly after hearing this: "If you go to that teahouse, you will definitely be able to find out the news!"
"What teahouse? What place is that?" Tao Jin asked hurriedly when he heard an old man saying such an answer. After all, this matter has a bright future, and regardless of the result, it is also a good thing.
"That place is easy to find. It is a place that is different from the buildings in all places, and that is it!" As he said that, he did not go with the old men, so he left with great strides.
Tao Jin wanted to chase after him and asked some more, but the figure of the man was gone. He got up and Tao Jin was inquiring while searching for the place the man said.
Sure enough, there was such a place. When I really got there, Tao Jin couldn't help but be surprised. This teahouse was similar to modern design.
The round roof is not something that the Tang Dynasty could have, and it is different from this ordinary teahouse. Tao Jin was fortunate that he first asked about the rules here, otherwise it would be a joke.
Because this place is not only a concentrated place for news, but also a trading place for various light-catching businesses.
Tao Jin handed the silver money to the old man who sold tea and handed a teapot there. However, there was no water in the teapot, and the silver money Tao Jin handed him was not ordinary tea money, it was an ingot of gold!
As a result, Tao Jin said softly in the teapot, and the old man seemed to have not heard it, so he wrote a list and put it into Tao Jin's pot.
There were many people around, but none of them were curious, and no one was inquired. Tao Jin knew that those who could build this place must be talented.
But after a while, another person sat on the table where Tao Jin was sitting. The man had a dark face, and his face was a little oily. His eyes were very small and his nose was a little lying, but his hands were extremely long, and his hands were actually hanging to his knees.
"But are you looking for a fisherman?" Before Tao Jin could speak, the man opened his mouth. Tao Jin knew that this was the candidate this teahouse found for him, so he did not avoid it and nodded directly.
"I'm looking for it, but I'm looking for someone who can take me with me!" Tao Jin looked at the man carefully, and then offered his own conditions.
Tao Jin believes that this person who can register here has some background and even some means. As expected, as soon as Tao Jin finished speaking, the man smiled sarcastically and said, "That's not fun!"
"The fish I am looking for, no one knows, and I don't know where there will be, so I want to follow myself!" These capable people all have some arrogance. As expected, Tao Jin finished speaking, and the man became a little kinder.
"If you want to go, you will need at least ten ingots of gold!" The man began to think that Tao Jin was going to play, and he was a little annoyed. At this time, he understood Tao Jin's intention, so he offered his own conditions directly.
"No problem!" Tao Jin agreed. The man was not vague and said directly: "See you at the pier tomorrow morning!" After that, he received the deposit of Tao Jin's five ingots of gold.
Tao Jin inquired about this teahouse. As long as it is traded here, there will be an appraisal transaction for the owner of the teahouse. If one party regrets it or breaks the contract, the owner will punish it.
As for the punishment, no one knows, but they know that there were several people who broke the contract, but they were gone. So it is safe to trade in this teahouse.
This time, Tao Jin and Yuanbao told Yuanbao about their plans. Yuanbao must be worried again, but he had no choice but to decide what Tao Jin had already decided.
He wanted Tao Jin to take him with him, but Tao Jin refused to agree and had to give up. In fact, Tao Jin was not sure about going fishing in person. After all, he was not familiar with water. If it weren't for the fact that things had forced him to do so, he wouldn't have liked it.
Although Tao Jin could not solve the problem of water quality, there was another way. After searching for someone, he made several leather buckets with sheepskin, filled them with air, carefully sealed them with wax, and made a few simple life-saving supplies. Tao Jin was relieved.
The next morning, before dawn, Tao Jin left the door. When Tao Jin arrived at the wharf, he found that the man was already waiting on the wharf.
Tao Jin was holding several sheepskin tubes, which was a bit inconvenient. The man glanced at Tao Jin, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, just signaled him to get on the boat.
The boat is not big, it is just an ordinary fishing boat, but there are some special places. That is, there is a fixed place at the four corners of the fishing boat.
This is Tao Jin’s first time to make a boat, and it is a fishing boat. The boat has a strong fishy smell. Although it is not pungent, it is a bit difficult for Tao Jin, who is riding a boat for the first time.
The boat was walking in the water, shaking back and forth, and Tao Jin also swayed left and right. Coupled with the fishy smell, the belly rolled back and forth.
The disgusting feeling that I had been pressed down several times finally couldn't be suppressed. Tao Jin lay on the edge of the boat and vomited, and the sour smell spread in the air. The man frowned slightly and threw Tao Jin a jar.
Tao Jin took it and opened the lid and smelled a strong stench. The man signaled Tao Jin to eat some. Tao Jin knew that people like them who often traveled to boats had some of their own special methods, so they held their breath and drank it.
The discomfort in the abdomen gradually eased, and Tao Jin saw clearly that he was already above the vast water surface.
Apart from that man, there was only Tao Jin left. The man looked at Tao Jin and asked, "What does the fish you are looking for?" the man asked.
Tao Jin briefly described it. The man frowned a few times after hearing this and said, "What you said should be there!" As he said that, his hand pointed to a place leaning against a mountain.
"There is a cold spring there. The water is relatively cold. You only have fish you mentioned!" As he said that, he shook his oar and drove in that direction.
At this time, Tao Jin had already adapted to the shaking of the boat. Although he was still a little dizzy, it was much better than at the beginning. The closer he got to the place the man pointed, Tao Jin found that there were more fish, and sometimes he could even see the fish swimming quietly under the water.
In modern times, unless it is a fishing ground for breeding, such a scene would not be seen. "There are so many fish here, why are no one here?" Tao Jin asked in surprise.
The man had a rare expression on his face, but he said with a proud smile: "Do you think anyone has the ability to come here to catch fish?" It was a kind of pride, but it also secretly reminded Tao Jin that there was certain danger here.
After all, there are so many fish, no one comes, so there must be a reason. Sure enough, Tao Jin quickly looked around and found nothing abnormal. The water surface was very stable, and even the shaking of the boat was much less.
The man saw Tao Jin's nervousness and smiled lightly, "This water area is every half an hour, and there is a storm, and the waves are extremely large. Many fishermen died in this area, but no one came after a long time. This place is also called stagnant water!" The man seemed to see what Tao Jin was thinking and explained the reason briefly.
The man's boat was rowing very quickly, and the boat quickly leaned towards the other side. As he approached the mountain, Tao Jin also felt a different coldness from the air than before. He reached out to touch the water, and it was indeed cold.
The man took four ropes and used the four fixed places to fix them tightly, and then hid in the cabin. Seeing that he was like this, Tao Jin hurriedly thought about walking into the cabin, but before he could walk over, he saw a splash of water splashing on the side of the mountain, and then a strong wind blew over.
The wind became heavier and heavier. Tao Jin grabbed the board and approached the cabin. The wind outside was mixed with cold water, and kept pouring it on the boat. The boat tilted to a certain extent. Tao Jin didn't bother to call the man to help, but just grabbed a homemade sheepskin tube with his own hand and grabbed the board with his own hand.
Just as Tao Jin was about to fall into the water, the man grabbed Tao Jin's arm and pulled him into the cabin. Tao Jin was a little angry because the man almost lost his life.
