Adorable Food Goddess

Ye Jiayao inquired about the location of Daming Lake after leaving the Wei Mansion. It was just to the east of Jinan City, but the name was not Daming Lake, but Lianzi Lake. Next, no matter what it is called, the lake is still this lake, and the scenery is still beautiful, as the saying goes: lotus flowers on all sides and willows on three sides, one city is full of spring and half the city is lake.

Today, the sun is shining, the lake is clear, and the willows are shaded. Walking by the lake with the warm wind blowing on the face is really pleasing to the eye and the mind. It's a pity that the lotus in the lake is not in full bloom yet, so we can't see the spectacular scenery of the ten-mile lotus pond.

There are many tourists on the lake wandering in small boats, looking very comfortable, Ye Jiayao ran to the pier, there was only one boat left at the pier, asked the price, and renting a small boat actually cost 200 coppers.

Ye Jiayao couldn't help but tightly clutched her purse, she didn't have a lot of money, and it wasn't enough to go to Jinling with this little money, so how could she have spare money to swim in the lake.

However, it was so hard to come here, just walk on the shore, and I have never been to the Huxin Pavilion, after all, I am a little unwilling.

"Boatman, can it be cheaper? I won't play for a long time." Ye Jiayao discussed with the boatman.

The boatman squinted at her, and then said impatiently: "If you want to rent, rent it. If you don't want to rent, go far away. Don't block my business."

Ye Jiayao still couldn't make up her mind to take out two hundred coppers, and asked cheekily: "The boat owner, can I find someone to rent together?"

The boatman didn't even look at her: "The starting price is two hundred coppers, which is not negotiable, and one hundred coppers will be added for each additional person."

Pooh, you're just a wrecked boat, do you know how many big meat buns you can buy for two hundred coppers? A whole hundred of them can kill you, they are really darker and more ferocious than the bandits in Heifenggang.

"Boater, go to the island in the middle of the lake..." A young man in Chinese clothes walked over, without asking the price, and went straight to board the boat.

The boatman immediately greeted people with a smile on his face: "Guest officer, be careful not to slip."

"Hey, I rented this boat first, you can't snatch it!" Seeing that the last boat was gone, Ye Jiayao quickly grabbed the boy.

The young man turned his head and narrowed his slender phoenix eyes slightly, glanced at Ye Jiayao, and shook off Ye Jiayao's hand in disgust: "You rented it first? Then why didn't you get on the boat?"

Fearing that the business would be ruined by this poor boy, the boat owner hurriedly said, "Who said I rented my boat to you? Can you afford it?"

Ye Jiayao can't stand this kind of snobbery, damn, don't fight for steamed buns, old lady, ahem, I'm going to fight you today.

"Who says I can't afford to rent? Open your eyes and take a good look." Ye Jiayao took out a handful of broken silver and shook it in front of the boatman.

The boatman didn't look down on such a small piece of money at all, and rented it to him at most two hundred coppers, and if it was rented to that noble son, there might be a tip.

"It takes a long time to grind two hundred copper coins. If you don't want to spend money, you can just stand on the shore and look at it. My son, please." The boatman nodded and bowed to the noble son.

Ye Jiayao stopped in front, with her hands on her hips, and said aggressively: "How do you do business as a boatman? Everything has to be said first come, first served, and I didn't say no to renting. Is it written on your boat that no bargaining is allowed, and people are not allowed to think and hesitate? Or Seeing that someone wears better clothes than me and looks richer than me? Do you know what you call it? Snobbish, if you don’t rent the boat to me today, believe it or not, I will overturn your boat.”

The boatman was stunned, he didn't expect this poor boy to be so tyrannical, these days, rascals are afraid of being tyrannical, and tyrannical ones are afraid of their lives, and doing business with peace makes money, if the poor boy insists on making trouble with him, it will be really troublesome.

"Forget it, let's go together and get on the boat together."

The young master said disdainfully: "I like someone, that's fine, whoever pays the highest price will rent the boat to him."

The boatman was overjoyed: "That's great."

Ye Jiayao finally managed to scare the boatman, but this brat has turned out to be a moth again, Nima, isn't he just a rich second generation? Is it amazing to be rich? If the old lady is not in trouble, she is no worse than you. Ye Jiayao leaned over to the young master and sniffed, "Why is it so stinky?"

The young master was immediately annoyed: "What did you say?"

Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes: "I said you smell of copper all over your body, but you are quite handsome. Why do you sound like the kind of person who has a fat brain and only oil and ink in his stomach?"

"You kid, do you know who the young master is? How dare you hurt the young master, you are so courageous." Your son blushed.

Ye Jiayao didn't take it seriously, and Shi Shiran got on the boat: "I don't care who you are, anyway, I rented this boat, and I don't want to be on the same boat with others! How comfortable it is to be alone."

Heart said: Listen to Nima speaking Wu Nong accent, that is, a foreigner, my mother will leave anyway after swimming in the lake, I am afraid you are a ghost!

"Boater, set sail."

Your son was dumbfounded, the boat was snatched just like that?

"Hey, let's go together, the boat fare is half of each person." Your son jumped onto the boat and landed firmly beside Ye Jiayao.

The boat shook for a while, Ye Jiayao couldn't stand still before she sat down, and grabbed the sleeve of the young master in a panic.

"Bah..."

There was only a sound of silk tearing, and the young master's shoulder was torn open.

"Let go, you brat, you tore all your clothes." The young master was furious, and threw Ye Jiayao away with all his strength.

"Who told you to jump up suddenly, you think this is land!" Ye Jiayao tightly pulled his sleeves, the two of them entangled, the boat shook more and more.

"Hey, hey, don't do this, the boat is going to capsize." The boatman said anxiously.

"Bah..."

With another bark, Ye Jiayao tugged at one of her sleeves and fell onto the boat.

The young master looked at his mutilated clothes, his face turned green.

Ye Jiayao was also stunned, Nima, this material looks pretty good, why is it so unstable, it will break if you tear it, it's really fancy but not useful.

"Return...to you." Ye Jiayao got up, patted her buttocks, and returned the sleeve to the young master.

The young master took the sleeve and threw it into the water, gnashing his teeth and glaring at Ye Jiayao: "What do you think? This is the best Hangzhou silk, and you can't buy it for a hundred taels."

Ye Jiayao curled her lips, and said in a choked voice: "You still have the nerve to ask me what to do? If you didn't jump up rashly, would I hold you? If I don't hold you, what would I do if I fell into the water? What if I drowned? Do it? Can you afford it? I haven't asked you for mental damages yet!"

The boatman was afraid that the two of them would quarrel and would get off the boat, so he quickly rowed the oar and propped himself away from the river bank.

Your son saw that this kid was a rascal who refused to accept that you came to bite me, he was so full of smoke, he didn't read the almanac when he went out today, and he met the plague god.

"Hey, it's agreed that one person will get half the boat price!" Ye Jiayao didn't care if he was angry or not, the anger was his own fault, and it was only serious business to finalize the boat price first.

The young master snorted angrily, then gave Ye Jiayao a hard look, and sat down to ignore her.

This episode did not affect Ye Jiayao's mood of visiting the beautiful scenery at all. Anyway, it was not her clothes that were torn, and she saved fifty coppers, so why not be happy?

"Wow, so many fish, and golden carps..."

"Wow, water bird, boatman, what kind of bird is this?"

Ye Jiayao was bluffing excitedly.

The boatman shook his hand and lazily said, "It's an egret."

"Is it a group of egrets in the blue sky? It's so beautiful..." Ye Jiayao sighed, and finally saw the egret in the poem.

Your son cast a contemptuous glance at Ye Jiayao, he looked like a rascal who was not stingy, and also read poems like a literati, really good at pretending.

"Hey, boatman, I heard that there are four strange things about this lake. The frogs don't cry, the snakes are hard to find, the drought doesn't fall, and the rain doesn't rise for a long time. I know the reasons for the latter three, but why the frogs don't cry? ?” Ye Jiayao asked.

The boatman didn't believe it: "I've been begging for life on the lake for more than 20 years, and I still don't know what's going on. Why don't you come and hear why snakes are hard to find, why the drought doesn't fall for a long time, and the rain doesn't rise for a long time?"

Ye Jiayao proudly said: "What's the benefit of me telling you? How about solving a riddle and saving me fifty coppers?"

The boatman shut up knowingly, how could the curiosity in his heart be compared with real money.

But the noble young master who was sulking at the side was aroused curiosity.

"You said, you are right, I will pay for your ship."

Ye Jiayao suddenly felt that this young man was a bit cute, and if she was that stupid donkey, she would definitely not fall for it so easily.

"You can buy me another meal when you get to the island, and I'll tell you." Ye Jiayao is good at making an inch of her feet. If she has the opportunity, she would be an idiot if she didn't. I heard that there are several special delicacies on the island. It's very expensive, and she's short of money, so she wants to save some money.

The young master said angrily, "You speak first."

Ye Jiayao chuckled: "Look at the birds on the lake, aren't there a lot of them?"

Your son raised his eyebrows: "What does it matter?"

Ye Jiayao said: "It doesn't matter, you don't know that many birds not only feed on fish in the water, but also catch insects and snakes? There are so many birds here, it is difficult for insects and snakes to survive."

The young master frowned and thought about it, and said reluctantly: "You are right."

Ye Jiayao curled her lips: "That's how it is."

Nima, in order to visit Daming Lake in my previous life, I made a travel guide on purpose. I know the attractions, customs, food culture, and allusions and legends here.

"Then how can we explain the long-term rain without rising and the long-term drought without falling?" Your young master asked curiously.

Ye Jiayao made a fool of herself: "This explanation is more profound, I don't know if you can understand it."

The young master snorted and said, "Don't be bragging, right?"

Ye Jiayao wrinkled her nose and explained: "The rain does not rise for a long time, it is because the lake has a lot of water outlets, no matter how much water can be discharged in time, as for the long drought, it is because the bottom of the lake is a fine texture The igneous rock, the lake water is difficult to seep down. Do you understand?"

The noble young master said awkwardly: "Who knows if you are talking nonsense."

Ye Jiayao snapped: "Believe it or not, ordinary people's IQ will not understand this."

"Boatman, is he right?" Your son went to ask the boatman.

The boatman said blankly, "It seems to make sense."

He didn't know what that igneous rock was, but seeing what the poor boy said was quite similar, he still decided to believe the poor boy.

"How? How? You pay the boat fare, treat me to something delicious." Ye Jiayao said with a smile.

Your son rolled his eyes, he is worried now, how dare he go to the island in a ragged suit?
