Obligations of the elderly

However, the uncle did not become a buyer there honestly. The uncle is a fastidious person. He always uses his own knife when eating fish, and there is more than one. Different sizes of fish use different sizes of knives to cut and slice. , cutting each with different shapes of knives, and soon some stall owners became interested in the knives used by the uncle. In the end, the uncle only had the original knife left, and all the other knives were bought by the stall owners of various fish stalls. up.

How many knives does my uncle have, even selling them all is not enough for the stall owners to share. In the end, my uncle received many orders and agreed on a date for delivery. , On the contrary, there are more!

"Just like A Si, your fate was on the plane, and my fate started from this fish market." He stuffed all the fish that the stall owners gave him into Datou's mouth, and looked at Datou with joy and envy. Seeing his silly expression, the uncle reached out and touched his big head and said.

It seems that the uncle's first pot of gold probably earned by accident in the process of eating and drinking - Gong Si thought to himself.

The uncle is indeed a family of life. After visiting the fish market with his nephew and his users in a leisurely manner (and making a small fortune by the way), he took them to various famous scenic spots in Pontok town to play I got a card.

They went out early in the morning. At that time, there was thick white fog everywhere outside. When they first entered the fish market, there was still a thin layer of fog in the fish market, but they ate fish seriously, and no one I noticed that the fog in the fish market had dissipated at some time, and when they left the fish market, there was only a thin layer of mist left outside. If you look carefully, there is still the sun overhead!

"Pontok is not foggy all the time. Of course, when the weather is bad, it is indeed foggy all day long. But when the weather is good, the fog is only thick in the morning and evening. At noon, it is no different from other places. It is." The uncle introduced, looked outside, and said: "Well, today is a very good weather. I have been to Pontok three times, but I have never encountered such good weather. Your luck is better than mine. "

Gong Si heard the key words and hurriedly asked: "Uncle, so you have been here three times!"

"It's nothing. Whether it's the duration or the frequency, it's incomparable to a serious gold digger." Obviously not taking this matter seriously, the uncle just said something lightly, and then led them onto the street.

Following in the uncle's footsteps, the palaces and streams also walked on the street, and the big heads did not turn back to the space, but followed closely behind the uncle, looking around and observing the world curiously.

It was the first time that Gongsi saw Pontok that was not covered by fog. Well, it can’t be said that there is no fog at all. There is still a layer of fog on the street, but it is not like the thick white fog that can spread all the way to the air. , but only the ground layer is left, and there is a bit of fog in the air, but it looks like tulle.

That's right, the fog is now concentrated on the ground. It's not high enough to touch their knees and barely reach their thighs. In this way, they look like they are flying through the clouds, and the houses in the town are like Like small houses growing out of the dense fog, the whole town looks mysterious and strange, it is like a town only in mythology!Especially the houses in Pontok are almost all made of a kind of round stone, which is a kind of brick-red stone, some are more white, some are more red, generally there are only two floors, looking at the past The tallest house is only three floors, the design is simple and practical, it looks more like a fairy tale.

"There is another theory that the fog comes from a water system regulator." The uncle suddenly said: "The white fog means that he is in this small town, guarding the town, and warning the gold diggers not to mess around here. .”

"Occasionally, the days when the white mist disperses slightly are said to be the days when he is in a good mood and relaxes his warning."

"Then he is too angry, isn't he?" Gong Si expressed his opinion while listening to what the uncle said with relish. The sound attracts.

There were two "quacks", a sound that could be described as ugly pierced the white mist, and came from the front. Gong Si followed the sound and noticed a handsome man standing on the wooden railing in front of him. Big white bird.

The whole body is white, the difficulty is that even the two long legs are white, the eyes are black, but the beak is red, slender and flat, when seeing Gongsi looking at it, the big bird "quacked" twice .

Well, if he hadn't seen the sound coming from its mouth with his own eyes, Gong Si wouldn't have guessed that the bird's voice was so... ugly!

There are many other big birds standing beside this big bird, most of them are the same species as it, and there are also some other species of birds. Gong Si vaguely feels that they look a little familiar. When he took out the local currency, he realized that these birds were the animals on the coins!But apparently they were more handsome than the engravings on the coins.

Seeing Gong Si and the others, a bird called, and the surrounding birds also called. They flapped their wings while singing, and the white mist below was scattered by them. There are fish under each foot, not many, at most two fish under a bird's feet, but there are so many types of fish!And most of them are big fish that are bigger than these birds. I can't tell that these big thin-legged birds are all strongmen.

Gong Si glanced at the uncle.

"Go and have a look, this is another local fish market, but the fish market we just went to was run by humans, while the fish market here is only run by birds," said the uncle.

"Birds can also open a fish market?" Xiliu also felt that this was quite miraculous, and walked over first, and he carefully looked at the fish under the feet of the big birds.

Immediately afterwards, Datou also swam over, followed closely behind Datou, and Gong Si walked behind Datou.

Not to mention, these fish are really fresh, they are alive and kicking. In terms of freshness, these fish might be even better!Gong Si also saw a tangkola fish—the kind of fish that eat gula fish eggs. Uncle said that this kind of fish is actually a difficult fish to catch. Even gula fish is not easy to catch. The fish with eggs is also very difficult to catch.

The big head was drooling when he stared at the tangkola fish. It probably remembered the deliciousness of the gula fish eggs.

"Big head, you have to figure it out, this kind of fish is very bad if there is no fish roe in its stomach. Didn't you eat one before and still vomit?" Big head said.

The big head looked at Gong Si full of expectation, and then at the uncle behind Gong Si.

The uncle also came over and took a closer look at the fish. The uncle said: "Big head has a good eye. This business is doing well. There are fish eggs in the belly of this fish."

"Wow! Datou has learned how to pick fish in such a short period of time? You are worthy of being Datou." Praising Datou, Xiliu took out his wallet, and when he was about to pay, he suddenly hesitated: "This...do you have to pay? What should I do? Pay? The stall owner here... can't communicate..."

The stall owner who couldn't communicate was indifferent to Xiliu who took out his wallet and revealed a stack of big bills, and he didn't look like the owner of the money.

But Datou came out with a few coins out of nowhere—this was the local coin given to him by Gongsi in the previous fish market. Datou’s working money had always been handed over to Gongsi, and now Gongsi gave him money. Just put it away, not at all twitchy, of course, the big head is still quite thrifty in housekeeping, usually earning a lot of money, and spending money... infinitely close to zero.

Immediately afterwards, an astonishing scene happened. The "stall owner" immediately picked one of the coins accurately, and as soon as he let go of the fish, it flapped its wings and left.

One swooped down to catch the fish, and the big head appeared next to the uncle with the fish in his mouth. He let the uncle cut open the belly of the fish, and the golden fish roe flowed out. Since everyone was full, the fish roe this time uncle All squeezed into the big head's mouth.

Datou didn't expect his uncle to give him all the fish eggs. He looked at the palace and then at the stream. His eyes finally fell on his uncle, looking a little flustered.

"It's okay, big head, you can eat. We are all full. As long as you still have an appetite, eat more." Obviously, it knows what it is thinking. Big head is a fish that respects the old and loves the young. Feed it to the younger brothers, and then feed it to the elders. The big head has always been working first and eating later, but now it is filled with fish eggs all at once. Although it is happy in its heart, it is worried that other people are not full, okay?

"Well, I'm full." Xiliu also said.

As for the uncle, he didn't speak, just took out a handkerchief and wiped Datou's mouth.

However, this mouth seems to be wiped too early.

The big head seemed to be more interested in this fish market than the one just now, and he went from stall to stall, and he saw more fish species than before.

No wonder there are many more. The fish market just now was screened by human fishermen. The fish on the market are all good varieties that people are used to eating. The "fishermen" in the fish market here don't pay attention to this. There are some big fish sellers, some small fish sellers, some shell sellers, and even those who ask for random prices. When paying, a big bird pecked away all the coins on its big head in one gulp. It was obviously premeditated, and what was sold was just a small fish. The big head had eaten it at other stalls before, and the taste was not bad, so he sold it for a coin. The big head thought it tasted good and wanted another one, and it was not the first time he bought it without experience. .This big bird is obviously expensive, not only that, it flies up after pecking at the coins, flying faster than other birds, obviously planning to abscond with the money, but it robs the wrong target, the big-headed master flies faster than it Quick, pierce it headlong and swallow it—

Of course, the big-headed master doesn’t eat birds. The big-headed master has no interest in this kind of hairy species. After holding it for a while, he spit it out. The big bird flew away in a panic. Counting the coins left in his mouth by the big bird, uh-huh, there is not one missing... Um...why do I always feel that there are several more?

Forget it, Master Datou can't settle the score!It's fine as long as there are coins to buy fish, it doesn't plan to ask the palace to give it money, it needs to be diligent and thrifty to manage the house!

On the other hand, Xiliu also counted the coins in private, and then said to Gong Si: "It's a big profit."

The bird spit out more coins than it took away, and more than 01:30. If you think about it, you know, if this is really a habitual criminal who charges randomly every time and runs away after collecting it, then it There should really be more coins in the mouth than other birds.

That is to say, when you meet a big head, the idea is hard, and the robber is robbed.

↑

Of course, the big head didn't know it at all, it really couldn't settle the score.

"However, why do these birds take coins?" Xiliu was puzzled, took a coin from Gongsi to play with, and put it under his nose to smell it, which revealed something mysterious.

"This thing...is not metal." Xiliu used an affirmative sentence.

The uncle nodded slightly: "This is made of a fish called Pabola. Coins of different denominations correspond to different materials. Some are fish bones and some are fish meat. Special methods are used to make them as hard as metal. , and then turned into currency, this is Pontok money."

"This place has always been pragmatism. Even if it is money, it must have other functions. It can be cooked and eaten at critical times. Many seabirds like this fish named Pabola very much, but this fish is so big. Incomparably, ordinary seabirds are not capable of hunting at all, and they are smart enough to learn to use this method to exchange coins from humans. After the exchange, they are actually used for eating."

The uncle explained it to the two of them, and they suddenly realized.

"The banknotes are also made of Pabora's shark's fin, but these seabirds don't seem to like the taste of shark's fin." The uncle then added: "In fact, if you add some goji berries and jujubes to the soup, it tastes very good without adding sugar. of."

Gongsi & Xiliu: ... Well, you can tell when you hear it, uncle, you must have tasted it.

As expected of an uncle!

After the heroic act of "recovering the stolen money" just now, no bird dared to deceive the big head. With the remaining money, the big head "buy" a lot of strange seafood, and finally asked the palace for money.

This makes Gongsi a bit strange: the big head usually doesn't ask him for money easily, but if you give it some money, it can always get it back, and occasionally it doesn't have any left, then it must be secretly subsidized for Dongchun, or it is for Aji Yes, the big head is a fish used to children.

Now Dongchun and Aji are not here, but Datou took the initiative to ask him for money. The palace was still a little strange, until Datou took him to a stall in the corner, which was the most inconspicuous stall in the whole fish market. This stall owner... uh... probably also the most inconspicuous stall owner.

Compared with other peers, it is small, about the size of a pigeon. It is black all over, probably with gray in the black. Its eyes, beak, and feet are all black. At first glance, it looks like a black briquette. , and then, that is, it was dark enough, so Gong Si saw it when he pushed his head away from the white mist.

Probably other stall owners pushed it aside, it didn't find a proper stall at all, so it just set up a stall in an inconspicuous place in the corner, and the things on the stall were also very inconspicuous, just two small shells.

It's really just two small shells, the size of your thumb.

It is such a shabby stall owner with the same shabby goods.

I don't know what happened, it was seen by the big head, and then the big head wanted to buy its goods.

"This is still a young bird." Xiliu said, "Look at its feathers, which are different from other birds. They are still fluffy."

Under Xiliu's introduction, Gong Si carefully looked at the bird's feathers. Sure enough, just as Xiliu said, the bird looked gray, and its matted fur was still fluff!

No wonder it is so small, is it still a young bird?If it is a juvenile bird, then its size should be okay.

But this can also explain why its booth is so shabby. How can such a young bird that has not grown its feathers and can't get wet at all go fishing in the sea?Whether it can fly or not is another matter!The reason why the prey is shells, it should be digging on the beach, right?This one doesn't need water.

Feeling sympathetic inevitably, Gong Si took out a handful of coins from his pocket and put them all in front of the little bird.

It looked at the big head, then at the palace, and then at the big bird next to it, which was staring at it covetously. In the end, it weakly snatched the smallest one from it. It ate it directly in front of Gong Si, as if it finally felt relieved, it barked twice at everyone, and then... ran away.

That's right, ran away.

It can't fly, it just ran away with two small wings, and the two shells stayed where they were.

"What a clever little guy." The uncle praised, knowing that even if he took the coin, he would not be able to keep it, so he just took the smallest one and ate it on the spot. This is not cleverness.

only--

The smallest one is the most valuable one.

I don't know if it knows or not.

Gongsi put away the coins, and Datou put away the two shells. They left the bird and fish market and left here. Gongsi saw several scenic spots that were depicted on the banknotes, until finally, they came to The front of the building with the black cross spire depicted on the largest denomination currency.

That is also the tallest building in the area. It is a four-story church. The spire is the same as that on the banknotes and the website introduction. However, the weather is fine today and there is no fog. It looks like a very distinctive black building.Go in and take a look, it’s not so much a church as a bar. People in clergy clothes sell wine here. It is said that it is the wine that blesses the safety of going to sea. Now that there are more gold diggers, these wines have become the wine that blesses their exploration. liquor.

The long tables and chairs are engraved with all kinds of names, everywhere, with all kinds of names.

"This is not scribbling, but a local tradition. As long as someone is born in the local area, he will leave his name here and pray for blessings. Later, the gold diggers came in. As long as they come to Pontok, they will definitely come here and leave a lasting impression on them." Write down your name." The uncle introduced.

"This... isn't that the names of Lin and Ge?" Gong Si found two familiar names at a glance and sat down in an empty seat.

"Huh? Really." Xiliu recognized their handwriting.

Then the uncle took out a knife from his arms and looked at the two of them: "How is it? Do you want to leave your name?"

This is a must - took the knife from the uncle's hand bluntly, Gongsi and Xiliu respectively left their names, glanced at the big head next to him who looked at him foolishly, smiled slightly, Gongsi was still on the table The big head's name was engraved.
