The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 862 Chapter 850 One: Ningzhou Beach Fishing Bone Temple
Duan Wuji smiled and said nothing. It seems that the fishermen nearby don't know much about these sea beasts!

Duan Wuji watched for a while, then walked away.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Master Zhifu, you also saw it just now, those sea beasts that are not dead have been scared away, now the nearby fishermen can go fishing again."

The magistrate Niu laughed and said: "That's right, it's true, if the fishermen around here can go fishing in the sea, my heart disease will be gone.

Your Excellency, I have to thank you all!This immediately solved the survival problem of these fishermen!In the future, I will live in peace as a magistrate in this place.

It is said that this sea beast is not easy to solve, but I didn't expect you to come and get it done in one day.

It seems that disobeying people is not enough, this is still in response to the old saying, people are deader than people, and goods are to be thrown away!

You two are imperial envoys, your ability is not ordinary!

Imperial envoy, I must write a letter to commend the merits of both of you! "

Duan Wuji had no choice but to smile when he heard the compliment from the magistrate Niu!

Not long, a few fishermen ran over.

"Master Zhifu, we have already caught this sea beast. How do you think we distribute these things?"

The Niu Zhifu listened and looked at Duan Wuji.

"Master Imperial Envoy, what do you think about this matter?"

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "I don't want to care about this matter, but since you ask me, then I will tell you what I think!
These sea beasts were shot to death by poisonous arrows. I dare not say whether the meat is poisonous or not!

In my opinion, since they fished it up, give it to them!In fact, whether this sea animal meat can be eaten can be known by doing an experiment.

After cooking the meat of this sea beast, don't you know if you feed it to the dog?
Tell these fishermen, let them find a way to do this experiment.

If you can eat it, it is the best, if you can’t, you can boil its fat with kerosene, so that it is more or less useful! "

The Niu Zhifu listened and nodded.

"Well, your method is the best, it is indeed a safe and good method!

Then I will order them according to your method!

If they were all poisoned, this matter would really be over!

My lord, don't worry about this matter, let me do this matter. "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Well! I've explained this matter clearly to you, and it's up to you when I get down."

Duan Wuji looked up, the sun was already at noon, Duan Wuji pulled the iron ox beside him, and then said in a low voice: "We don't have anything to do here, why don't we find a little girl in a nearby village?" Let's eat in a restaurant!

After we have dinner, let's come back and watch them slaughter sea beasts!
We have never seen such a big sea beast before!

We have to come and have a look after dinner anyway! "

"Well! That's fine!"

Duan Wuji pulled the prefect of Niu with his hand.

"Prefect Niu, we went to the restaurant in the village ahead, let's go there together!"

"You two imperial envoys, go there first! I'll make arrangements later and then go there!
If this matter is not cleared up, I really dare not leave!

This is a matter of life and death for fishermen, I dare not relax a bit! "

"Alright then! Let's wait for you in the restaurant in the village ahead!

You'll have to go there in a while! "

"That's it, that's it! Let's see each other!"

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu walked straight to the village in front of them. This village is not too big, and there are indeed two restaurants in the village.

Duan Wuji and the others stopped in front of one of them called Guo's Restaurant.

When the shopkeeper saw that the two people were dressed gorgeously, they were not comparable to those ordinary people, so the shopkeeper of the restaurant hurried forward to say hello.

"Two distinguished guests, please come inside! There are private seats inside."

The two walked into the restaurant, and the restaurant clerk ran over.

"Two distinguished guests, what do you want to eat? Don't think that we are a small country restaurant. To be honest, we have everything in this restaurant!

The boss of our family had opened a restaurant in Hangzhou before, especially for the seafood, the price here is super cheap! "

Duan Wuji wanted to say: "The two of us just want to eat something casually, if you have any special dishes here, give us a piece of it.

Let me tell you, you must double the amount of this meal, we won’t be able to eat without it.

Of course, we will pay you double the money. "

The guy laughed when he heard that.

"I'm talking about two customers, how come your tone is louder than that of the magistrate.

You want so much delicious food, have you two eaten yet? "

Tie Niu stared at him.

"If you don't hurry up and do it, where is there so much nonsense.

To measure a boy like you is someone who has never seen the world. "

The guy was unconvinced, and shouted at Tieniu: "Why have I never seen the world! Two years ago, I delivered meals to Lord Nazhi County! How come I have never seen the world!"

Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

"Brother Tieniu, why are you arguing with him about these useless things, don't you think it's a shame!
We two brothers are just having a meal here, why bother arguing with him about these useless things? "

After Duan Wuji said this, the iron bull stopped making any noise.

When the guy saw that he stopped talking, he also felt that it was nothing serious.

"You two guests, what kind of wine would you like to drink?
We have so many kinds of fine wine here, just tell me what you want to drink, and I will prepare it for you in a while! "

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "In our Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, isn't the most famous good wine the Nur Hong!
You can serve us three jars first, and you can serve us eight small cold dishes first! "

The guy was overjoyed when he heard that, and immediately turned around and ran out, and within a short time, he brought up three jars of wine and eight small cold dishes.

The two of them were not polite, they picked up the chopsticks on the table and ate and drank.

Not too long, the Niu Zhifu hurried over.

The owner of this restaurant is really a man who has seen the world!

As soon as he saw Niu Zhifu's official clothes, he recognized that this was the local prefect.

"Master Zhifu, why are you free to visit my small restaurant today!

Mr. Zhifu, please come inside quickly! "

The Niu Zhifu laughed and said, "Master Guo, I haven't seen you for so many years, why did you open a restaurant in your hometown!"

The shopkeeper Guo grinned.

"I'm a few years old, and I don't want to mess around in the prefectural city of Hangzhou, so I came back to my hometown.

Lord Prefect, please come inside! "

"Hey! I said Lao Guo, do you have two gorgeously dressed distinguished guests eating here?"

"Yes! Lord Zhifu, why are you asking about this!"

"Don't do anything, these are two businessmen! I'm looking for them!"

After finishing speaking, the Niu Zhifu went straight to the restaurant.

"You two imperial envoys, so you two are here?"

The magistrate Niu saw that the eight side dishes on the table had already been eaten up by Duan Wuji and the others, and the two of them were sitting there drinking wine!

"Man, how do you entertain guests in this restaurant! You've finished all the dishes, so why don't you say you're going to serve them again?"

When the shopkeeper heard the voice of Niu Zhifu, he hurried in!
Seeing that there was indeed nothing to eat on the table, the shopkeeper quickly called the waiter over and asked the waiter to bring them another serving.

When the waiter saw the boss's order, he quickly packed up the empty plates and went to serve them.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Old Niu, since you are here, why are you still standing around blindly, why don't you hurry up and sit down?
Isn't there something wrong today?
The three of us must have a good meal here!

Let's congratulate the three of us too, I really didn't expect that Zhentian did such a beautiful thing! "

Seeing Duan Wuji greeted him, the Niu Zhifu quickly sat down, Duan Wuji poured him a bowl of wine, the three of them ate and drank again,

The guy brought another eight small cold dishes to the people, and finally they had something to stop their mouths from.

Then, all kinds of stir-fried dishes were served one after another, and the three of them were eating and drinking!

There are more than [-] kinds of these stir-fried vegetables. Although there are not too many kinds of these stir-fried vegetables, the average countryman really can't afford them!

After drinking and eating, Duan Wuji thought of asking that Niu Zhifu came.

"Prefect Niu, are those sea beasts poisonous? Have you done any experiments?"

Niu Zhifu grinned when he heard this.

"Of course the experiment has been done. There are small pots on those fishing boats. They stewed several pots of sea animal meat, and then fed them to the dogs. The dogs ate it and it didn't matter at all!

Therefore, I conclude that this sea beast meat is not poisonous, and they can eat it with confidence! "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"Well! That's good! Those sea beasts are so huge, if they take them home.

I don't think they can eat it all for a year!

These sea beasts can more or less solve the life difficulties of some of them. "

"Hmm! That's true. Those sea beasts must weigh more than 1 catties each!

If this is distributed to those fishermen, they will really make a fortune!

Two imperial envoys, let's go!Let's go to the beach again!
Look at how they decomposed the corpses of those sea beasts!

We eat and drink this meal, and there is not much difference in an hour! "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Well, fine then!

Why!Shopkeeper, check us out! "

The shopkeeper ran over.

"Guest officers, you have eaten four taels of silver for this meal, and the shop will charge you four taels of silver!

Wipe away those two coins! "

Tie Niu took out four taels of scattered silver and threw it on the table, then stood up.

"Master Zhifu, let's go!"

"Master Imperial Envoy, the emperor has already given us an order, you eat and drink, all of which are paid for by the government!

How can I let you pay for it yourself!

This is going to spread, it should be said that I have not taken good care of adults. "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"Master Zhifu, we don't care about such a small amount of money, you must not take it to heart, no one knows about this matter if we don't talk about it.

let's go!Don't be blind here, what a joke for the shopkeeper to see! "

The magistrate came here in a hurry today, he really didn't bring any money with him!

Magistrate Niu just got off his donkey, and this matter is over.

When the three of them came to the beach, they saw dozens of fishermen cutting large pieces of meat from the sea beast's carcass with butcher's knives. There were not more than 300 people transporting the sea beast home!

A sea beast has been almost cut up, only the huge bone frame is left.

As soon as these people saw the magistrate coming, they rushed over.

"Master Zhifu, we fishermen discussed and discussed just now, we plan to build a temple not far from the beach to commemorate this good day today!

My lord, can you see this thing? "

"Why can't this work? It's a good thing to build a temple! If you build a temple, the government will send you 50 taels of silver in a few days!
This sea beast is gone, and soon you will be able to go fishing again!

What is the name of this temple? "

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Master Zhifu, look at the huge skeleton of the sea beast, this thing is useless!

In my opinion, just use these sea animal bones as materials, which can save a lot of rafters!
Those few thick sea animal bones shouldn't be a problem to use as purlins. If you do this, you can save a lot of money.

In my opinion, this temple is called Zhenhai Temple, and another name is Fishbone Temple. What do you think? "

The Niu Zhifu applauded and laughed.

"Good, good, good!

Mr. Imperial Envoy, you are still thoughtful!It is indeed a good idea to use the bones of this sea beast for rafters and purlins!

This saves money and is meaningful!After seeing the bones of this huge sea beast, people will know that there were two very great heroes in the Tang Dynasty!

They slaughtered seven sea beasts at this seaside before they built this fishbone temple. This matter will definitely be passed down through the ages!
Hey, I said you people have to show me clearly, these seven sea beasts were slaughtered by these two people, this one is called Duan Wuji, and the other is called Duan Tieniu, they are two cousins.

You guys have to remember this clearly for me!

Otherwise, who knows who killed the seven sea beasts in the future!

The statues in this temple, you can just follow their current appearance! "

When the fishermen heard this, they all focused their attention on the two men, and they were somewhat embarrassed to see them.

Tie Niu said with a smile: "Since we toured the world, we have already set up two temples, why do we set up so many of them!

I think it's nothing to do!

If you have that little energy, why don't you cast a few more nets of fish? "

The magistrate Niu laughed and said, "Using the bones of these sea beasts as building materials is what the fishermen in our area want to do to commend your lord!

If this does not make a huge contribution, even if you ask the local fishermen to build a temple for you, they will not build it for you.

No amount of money can buy such an honor.

I said, Mr. Imperial Envoy, you two brothers should be content.

Xiaguan, I plan to ask someone to build a temple for me, will they build it for me? "

After hearing this, Duan Wuji pulled the magistrate Niu with his hand.

"I said, old cow, don't gossip here, you see it's getting late, let's go back to the city!"
