Chapter 538: The Champion of the Lines


The ears of rice are full and heavy.

Li Shimin tied the feet of his robe up his waist, tied his trouser legs high, pulled his sleeves high, and held a triangular basket net in one hand.

Li Chao followed behind with a handful of nets.

Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda, the two former princes and the current prime minister, followed behind with a wooden barrel.

The eldest grandson Wuji even changed into a vest and shorts like Li Chao, looking like he wanted to show off his skills and fish in troubled waters.

Several other prime ministers also rolled up their sleeves and tied their trousers, took off their shoes, removed their socks, and walked barefoot on the ridges of the terraced fields.

Fortunately, now in summer, it is not as slippery as it is on the ridges in spring.

After rice heading, water management in the field is very important.

You don't have to ask for water all the time, and sometimes you have to drain it.

But when to release water, when to dry the field, how long, and to what extent, this all requires a very experienced Zhuang style to grasp.

After rice heading, it is easy to lodging, and at this time, it is necessary to dry the field to control the rice to continue to grow seedlings.

Wait for the same, and you have to retain water, and you can't let the rice dry, and it is very complicated to grasp it specifically.

Li Chao: When they went to the field, the rice field had already been dried once, and water was put on it again.

After drying the field, there is an advantage, that is, the mud in the field will not be like a swamp, and the foot will go very deep.

After the sun-dried fields were put in water, the mud became a little stronger.

Walking inside, it won't be difficult.

"There are fish there" Li Shimin shouted excitedly, there is a ditch in the field, it is not too deep, but the fish swim by, and there are still waves.

Fang Xuanling came over with a basket, "Your Majesty, use this cover." ” The bamboo basket is a bit like a chicken coop, that is, there is no basket at the bottom, and there is a small opening on the top.

In a place where the water is shallow and clear, if you see a fish, just cover it, cover the fish inside, and then reach in and catch it.

In small rivers and streams, where there are many fish, this tool is quite useful.

Li Shimin stood lightly, turned around and took the basket handed by Fang Xuanling, slowly leaned over, and then slammed it down.

Water splashes.

"Cover it" The next few prime ministers asked.

"It's covered, it's covered, it's scurrying around in the basket."

Li Shimin leaned his head and looked at it a few times, and then turned back proudly.

Rolling up his sleeves, Li Shimin bent down and put his arm into the basket to catch fish.

Although the fish were confined to that small basket, they were still scurrying around desperately.

Slippery and not slippery.

Li Shimin didn't catch it several times, but he was not discouraged, but was very interested.

"There is more than one, it seems that there are three, and the fish is not small."

Li Chao also came from behind and gathered to the side to watch the excitement.

If you let a farmer come, you can catch it in three or two strokes, why do you need to work so hard.

However, Li Chao didn't help Li Shimin, everyone has worked hard for so long, is it possible to come here for a vacation and relax, the most important thing is, of course, the kind of hands-on fun.

Just like many people go fishing, they fish for half a day, and finally the fish is put back again, and they don't come to fish, just to enjoy the fun of fishing.

Li Shimin couldn't afford to eat fish, and he had no one to help him catch fish After touching for a long time and splashing all over his body, Li Shimin finally caught one, and laughed happily.

A carp weighing more than a pound.

"This fish is fat, it will be roasted and eaten in a while, make a mark, this fish is caught by me."

Although the Li family regarded Li Er as their ancestor, in the early Tang Dynasty, there was no such thing as not eating carp.

When he got Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, the higher the more powerful, and finally issued an edict prohibiting the world's carp fishing.

Of course, this edict is not related to the surname Li because the carp is related to the surname, but to Taoism.

Because Taoists believe that the dragon is transformed from the carp and introduces it into the scriptures, the carp has become a sacred object revered by Taoists, which is sacred and inviolable, and is also called Chihui Gong.

Believers will never eat carp.

Of course, Taoism flourished in the Tang Dynasty during the Xuanzong period, and before that, Taoism was not so prosperous.

Even the royal family just pulled Lao Tzu Li Er as an ancestor and put some gold on his face.

Eating carp is, of course, no problem.

Li Shimin likes to eat carp very much.

There are even poems in the Book of Poetry, how can it eat fish, how can the carp of the river marry a wife, and the son of the Song Dynasty means that if you eat fish, you must eat the carp in the Yellow River, and if you marry a wife, you must marry a girl surnamed Song Guozi, a nobleman What is revealed in this poem is the atmosphere of eating fish in the Spring and Autumn Period at that time, with the Yellow River carp as the best.

Carp has always been a delicacy at wine banquets and a precious gift for people.

Carrying two Yellow River carp to visit relatives and friends is a lot of face.

Even Confucius married a wife and had a son, and his son was called Kong Li, because Yu Zhaogong heard that Confucius gave birth to a son, and sent someone to send a carp to congratulate, so Confucius directly named his son Kong Li.

There are many ways to eat carp, the most valuable is the Yellow River carp, the bigger the better, and then the most popular way to eat is the fish belly.

The carp in Lijiatian is not big, and this kind of carp is like a big crucian carp, and it is very good to eat it directly grilled or pickled.

Xiao Yu took a bucket and filled Li Shimin with the three fish, and there was some water in it.

Li Shimin looked at the three carps in the bucket, full of a sense of accomplishment.

Everyone took turns to cover the fish, net the fish, and after a while, everyone finally harvested several fish.

Carrying their harvest, the emperor and the prime ministers were very happy, although there was a lot of water and a lot of mud, they were still very happy.

Passing by the canal by the field, Li Chao stopped.

"How" "Your Majesty, there are several yellow eel caves here, and there are yellow eels."

Yellow eel is a good thing, whether it is fried in slices or directly fried in a circle, it is very delicious.

The yellow eel meat is sweet, delicious, and very replenishing.

It just has no scales, and it looks like a snake.

Some large yellow eels have more than one catty, or even two catties, this kind of yellow eel used to be called tiger eel, or yellow eel, the head is very large, and it is very fierce, and it will bite people.

Li Chao played at his grandmother's house when he was a child, and once after the rain, a tiger eel ran from the ditch to the road, Li Chao reached out to grab it, and his right index finger was bitten at the tiger's mouth.

And if he bit it, Li Chao cried all the way, shook it all the way, and took the eel home.

Then my grandfather touched it with charcoal, and it loosened its mouth, the eel was more than a pound, and my grandmother cut it into sections, and the eel pepper fried a large plate, and Li Chao remembered it deeply.

Later, Li Chao followed his cousins and learned to detain yellow eels in the field, recognize yellow eel holes, and recognize yellow eel roads.

Basically, he could recognize at a glance which was the fresh eel road and hole, and also learned the technique of buckling the eel.

Li Chao stood on the side and looked left and right for a while.

Generally speaking, yellow eels will make holes in paddy fields or ditches, and their holes will be selected on very soft ridges or fields.

The road is the trace.

"There's definitely a yellow eel here, and it's a big yellow eel."

Li Chao said confidently.

"If you look at it like this, you can be sure that there is a yellow eel, I don't believe it," Li Shimin felt that Li Chao was bragging.

Li Chao laughed.

Picking the yellow eel, that first has to be experienced, the old light is old, you can see the yellow eel road at a glance, and you can find the hole along the road.

Of course, finding the yellow eel is only the first step, and the most important thing is to know how to pick.

Otherwise, if you find out, you won't be able to pick it out.

Yellow eels are much more difficult to catch than fish, and they are really slippery.

"Look at me."

Li Chao walked to the entrance of the hole, stretched out his hand and began to pick at one side of the hole, and then put one hand in front of the other hole, and waited for the net.

Slowly picking a few times, picking up the grass at the entrance of the hole, Li Chao startled the snake with the grass, and deliberately poked the hole at once, alarming the yellow eel.

It is generally more troublesome to dig a hole directly, and it is generally more troublesome to catch a yellow eel in the hole, and it is better to drive the yellow eel out of the hole faster.

Sure enough, it only took a few clicks for the yellow eel in the cave to react.

Suddenly burst out of the hole.

In a flash. said that it was too late, it was too fast, and Li Chao's right hand had already moved.

Steady and ruthless Like a shadowless hand, Li Chao used his index finger and middle finger to clamp the yellow eel accurately and ruthlessly.

The yellow eel rolled up in Li Chao's hand, and Li Chao held the yellow eel proudly and showed it to Li Shimin and the prime ministers.

At least half a catty weighs, this is a large yellow eel.

The yellow one is definitely a budgie eel.

Li Shimin's admired five-body throw.

"Sure enough, there is a specialization in the art industry."

"That's, three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion."

"What is the champion?"

asked Li Shimin.

Li Chao thought that he had missed it for a while, but now there is no champion, and the best results in the imperial examination are generally just the head.

"That's what it means."

"Oh," Li Shimin understood.

"Tell me how to pick the yellow eel," Li Shimin asked.

The sun on his head is quite big, and he wears a straw hat, which is also very sunny.

But Li Shimin was very interested, and Li Chao had no choice, so he had to teach him how to find the yellow eel road, recognize the yellow eel cave, and finally let Li Shimin operate it himself.

"Your Majesty, you can also directly step on the hole on the other side with your foot and force the yellow eel out of the hole" Li Shimin learned quite well, and after a few feet, the yellow eel came out.

Li Shimin hurriedly reached out to grab it, but unfortunately, he didn't catch it.

The yellow eel scurries through the paddy fields, running very fast.

Li Shimin couldn't catch up at all, and several prime ministers were in a hurry, blocking the front and chasing after him, but they couldn't catch it.

It was Li Chao, a few arrow steps, caught up, and pinched it with two fingers.

"Your Majesty, to catch the yellow eel, you can't catch it with your hands, you have to use the joints of two fingers to clamp it, and the clamping force is the greatest, so you can not be afraid of the slippery yellow eel."

Li Shimin was unwilling and continued to arrest.

As a result, after catching it for a long time, I finally caught one.

"Your Majesty, the sun is very poisonous, it's better to go back early" Li Shimin was satisfied with the unlucky yellow eel, which was not much bigger than chopsticks, and said happily, "Well, let's go back."

The monarchs and ministers finally began to walk back, far away, a large group of chamberlains, guards, waiting for a long time was already uneasy, such a big sun, in case the emperor suffered from heat stroke, it would be bad, fortunately, the emperor finally went back. t1706231537:
