fish pond master

Three rounds of wine.

Of course, what Shi Yu drank was the fat house happy water.But this is not important, what is important is the sense of ceremony, as long as you don't look at the bubbles inside, Sprite can be drunk like a burning knife.

What Shi Xie drank was real baijiu—he brought it with him.

The two chatted from the catches of the past two days to the ocean currents, to the stock funds of the past two days, and then to the overall international situation. Shi Jie was obviously drunk, his face was flushed, and he suddenly slammed the table and said loudly: " There must be something terrible about you that you didn’t tell me! Tell me! My brother took you to play with me when I was a child, and the second dog from the sister-in-law’s house next door snatched your lollipop or I called you back! Your boy’s head I know how many hairs there are, so why don't you tell your brother me about any difficulties?"

It's really hard to say.

Shi Yu blinked his eyes and persuaded him: "Brother, you think too much, I really don't... You see, what's wrong with my life when I have money and leisure? I'll talk to someone again in two years. Life is called one." Le Zizi, where did the terrible thing come from?"

Unexpectedly, Shi Jie pointed at Shi Yu directly and said, "You blink your eyes when you lie! Are you capable of not blinking your eyes and repeating what you just said?"

Shi Yu: "..." Such a long sentence, how could he finish without blinking his eyes?

"Say it!" Shi Jie poked his finger on Shi Yu'e's head, "Say it again if you have the ability! Don't blink!"

Shi Yu had no choice but to repeat it again, Shi Jie stared at him without blinking, Shi Yu also tried not to blink, but unexpectedly, he couldn't help blinking after saying the last word.

"Ha!" Shi Jie reached out and snatched the cup in front of Shi Yu, poured the happy water in it into the sea, and filled him up with his own Wuliangye: "I know you boy won't tell the truth! You Give me a drink! I won’t ask any questions after I drink it!”

It's not that Shi Yu doesn't want to say it, he has two biggest problems now: first, the system; second, the mermaid.

Shi Jie would not believe the former one, but even if he did, there was nothing he could do.

What can he say?

Thinking of this, Shi Yu also felt quite depressed. He looked at the wine glass in front of him, took it for some reason, raised his head and took a sip.The mellow and rich wine instantly diffused from the tip of the tongue to the throat, and then spread along the esophagus to the stomach, and then the burning heat burned all the way from the stomach to the tip of the tongue, and then went up, even the brain became hot Yes, dizzy.

For a moment, Shi Yu felt that he was a little over the top.

——How could he be more serious than a drunkard?

The system cat saw this and was too lazy to look any further. He yawned and lazily walked back to his room to rest: 【You guys keep playing, I'm going to sleep first. 】

"Awesome!" When Shi Jie got up and was still clapping the little seal over there, he also raised his head and poured a glass, and filled them both up: "Ayu, what is there in the city?" No, why are you coming back?"

With the wine glass stuffed in Shi Yu's hand, after two mouthfuls of food, he subconsciously wanted to drink something, so he took another sip: "I have to work overtime, work overtime every day...it's endless...how can it be compared to our free and easy life here? .”

"That's not true." Shi Jie also took two bites of food: "Anyway, you are not short of money now, why don't you go fishing with my brother! Fishing in the open sea is an excitement! Didn't you see that there was an old man who went to the sea yesterday. I caught a tuna weighing more than 150 kilograms, and fought with it for more than an hour before I caught it, and the people in our whole boat were pulling his belt behind him, for fear that he would be accidentally pulled down by the fish!"

Shi Yu showed a psychedelic smile, he was a little too drunk: "It's quite fun... I also caught a mermaid last time... At least 150 catties, I was the only one on the boat, and I gave it to I caught it... hiccup..."

Fishing is fishing, but the ending is a bit cruel.

"...Mermaid? What kind of mermaid? Confucianism, dugong?" Shi Jie got a little tongue-tied: "You...you didn't eat it, did you?"

"Of course not... he caught it, but he escaped by himself." Shi Yu replied.

The two chattered nonsense for a while, and Shi Yu was already lying on the table, and Shi Jie, relying on the amount of alcohol he had trained with the fisherman for many years, was still sitting steadily: "Speaking of...you When you move to the sea, remember to sacrifice to the sea god and let him bless you."

"What year is it, you still pay attention to this..." Shi Yu leaned on his arm and said disdainfully: "It's too troublesome...I just don't do it."

The sacrifice to the sea god explained at the time is often used in things like opening the sea and fishing rafts here, asking the sea god to bless the safety and harvest.This kind of ceremony is simple and simple to say, but it is also troublesome to say.

Generally speaking, rich people will put three animals and five animals in a serious manner, burn incense and paper, hang firecrackers, invite Mr. Yin and Yang to count the auspicious time, and then invite relatives and friends to dinner.The simpler thing is to look at what's in the house, cook a bowl of braised pork or a chicken, all in all, make up three meat dishes, and then have a fragrant kowtow and it's done.

But there is one thing in common, they all have to prepare solid big white steamed buns, and throw them into the sea together with other offerings when the auspicious time comes.

Steamed buns are said to have been invented by Zhuge Kongming during the Three Kingdoms period. After he appraised Nanman, he was blocked from crossing the river. He suspected that it was the evil spirits who died in battle, so he planned to sacrifice to the river god.But he couldn't bear to use real people's heads to sacrifice, so he invented steamed buns as a substitute.

This method has been passed down to the present. Shijia Village holds sacrifices every year before opening the sea, and steamed buns always appear as the most important sacrifices.

Shi Jie smiled and said: "If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer, and you will suffer!"

"Our business depends on the sea for food! You can turn to the sky without asking the god of the sea to bless you!" Shi Jie took a sip of the remaining wine in the glass, and gradually began to lie down: "I see that you have recently ...The problem is quite big, maybe it's because you didn't, didn't pay homage to the God of Sea, that you ran into something bad..."

Having said that, Shi Jie suddenly regained his spirits, got up and walked to Shi Yu's side and dragged him up: "Go, brother... Brother will take you to worship now!"

"Don't go!" Shi Yu struggled a bit, but Shi Jie's strength was so strong that Shi Yu couldn't break free at all, and was dragged staggeringly to the edge of the pavilion.

Shi Jie pressed Shi Yu and knelt down, and took a few untouched fruits from the table, picked up a few untouched shells because the two of them couldn't eat too much, and the like: "One...two, there is still a meat dish!"

"You wait for me, don't get up, you know?"

As soon as Shi Jie left, Shi Yu sat back, his eyes were dazed, and he felt as if he was going to fall asleep in the next second.

Shi Jie went to look in the refrigerator, and found that the refrigerator was empty, and looked into the bucket next to the refrigerator—yes, there were two little red fishes in it.He quickly grabbed one, killed the fish, bled it, and washed it in one go, but he drank a little too much, and the sashimi couldn't be as thin as a cicada's wing, so he cut it half a centimeter thick.

From time to time, he curled his lips and rolled the sashimi into balls. With a slight push, the crystal clear sashimi was pinched into the shape of a rose in his hands.Only then did he go out with the plate, and when he saw Shi Yu kneeling on the spot and falling asleep, he couldn't help laughing.

He put the sashimi, abalone, scallops, and fruits in a row facing the sea, took a rice bowl to fill some rice, took out a cigarette case from his pocket, and took out three cigarettes from it. During the meal, it took more time to push.

"Wake up!"

Shi Yu groaned and woke up from his sleep.

Shi Jie also knelt down beside him, clasped his hands together and said, "Grandpa Sea God bless you, Shi Yu, a descendant of the Shi family, is now begging for food on your land, and it is really disrespectful not to pay you a pier. Prepare steamed buns and incense for you, you can make do with cigarettes first, and we will definitely make up for you tomorrow!"

After he finished speaking, he slapped Shi Yu on the back: "Why are you standing there, read it!"

Shi Yu could only stumble and read: "Grandpa Sea God... bless..."

As soon as the words fell, Shi Jie pressed Shi Yu and kowtowed three times together with him, and then took Shi Yu's hand and asked him to dump all the food into the sea - the cigarettes were not thrown away, which is not environmentally friendly.

It doesn't matter, anyway, after the burning is over, it will be given!

After finishing all this, Shi Jie pulled Shi Yu up, the two supported each other, and stumbled into the room: "It's done! To-morrow, we'll make up the incense steamed buns! Brother, I'll give you some steamed buns again!" You bring two '8888' sounding firecrackers to suppress evil spirits!"

When Shi Jie drank too much, he was full of energy, but when Shi Yu drank too much, he just wanted to sleep, and he didn't care what Shi explained, he just wanted to sleep, so he nodded indiscriminately as he agreed.

The two supported each other all the way to the guest room, and Shi Yu didn't bother to make sure if it was his own room, as long as there was a bed, so the two brothers took half of each side, and it didn't take long for regular snores to sound in the room.

***

The mermaid resting among the giant clams is playing with a pearl the size of a longan's eye.

This pearl is round and orange-red all over. It is different from the colorful pearls of other pearls. Its surface tends to have a soft light texture, and it is whatever color it should be.

The pearl is rolling between the slender fingers of the mermaid, and occasionally a golden glimmer will appear in the place full of light, and if you look carefully, it is covered with fine golden thread-like lines like human pupils, but in the dim At first glance, it is a simple pure orange.

After playing with it for a while, it let the pearl roll from its fingertips, becoming an ordinary member of its bed.

It tilted its ears slightly, as if listening to someone.

It opened, and the sound was as beautiful as a song echoing in the giant clam.

【...His name is Shiyu. 】

The mermaid's restless heart suddenly calmed down, and it slowly lay down, its silver hair covering the whole giant clam like silk.

It closed its eyes and listened to the almost inaudible voice, and replied in a low voice: [... I agree. 】

……

On the other side, the Lisa tribe, who had returned with a full load, returned to live under Shiyu's fishing rafts after hunting.

The little killer whale held a leopard-print moray eel as thick as an arm in its mouth, and frantically circled the entire fishing raft: [Human, where are you, human?I have a gift for you! 】

The little killer whale called a lot, but the corridor was still empty.

That human didn't show up!

The little killer whale whimpered twice, and was about to close its mouth to kill the moray eel and eat it by itself, when suddenly a fish said: 【Are you waiting for that human? 】

[What, you too?Where are you?" The little killer whale replied excitedly.

But what responded to it was the other party's cool sentence: [He is mine now, and I will not allow him to accept your gift. 】

【After all, he can only have me as a fish! 】

Little killer whale: ...? ? ?
