fish pond master

What would you do if you came across an octopus that raised the white flag of surrender?

Shi Yu thought about it seriously, and then glanced at the red dots on his arms, and decided to... eat it.

After all, the wooden fish flower has been bought back. Wouldn’t it be a waste to eat the wooden fish flower without making octopus balls?

On the contrary, there was a hint of interest in the eyes of the cat in the system, and he jumped up onto the cooking table, fiddled with the octopus that had raised the white flag to surrender, and said: [It may be an intelligent creature, after a while. 】

Shi Yu rolled up his sleeves and looked at the system cat with mocking eyes: [Octopus has always had a high IQ, and the smartest octopus is about the same as a seven or eight-year-old child. When the life span of fish is extremely short ①——You really don’t want to eat it?If you don't eat, I will. 】

【is not what it means. 】The system cat poked the octopus with its paw again, watched it flinch and shrank the poked tentacles behind its body, and said with great interest: 【I mean it may have evolved, it is better than ordinary octopuses. The fish is a bit smarter and has the ability to think independently - it has been sending radio waves before, but you can't hear it, and I doubt it may have the ability to communicate with humans. 】

【I can also communicate with killer whales, and I can also communicate with mermaids. 】Shi Yu shrugged: 【Are you done? I'll chop it up after I'm done. Except for the small octopus balls, do you want to charcoal grill or stir-fry the rest? 】

The system cat gave him a strange look: [You don’t feel right today. Generally speaking, at this time, you shouldn’t be very interested in communicating with it to try to see if what I said is true, or you just think it’s true. If it is very spiritual, let it be released...isn't it? 】

Shi Yu sneered: [That was when Dad was happy, but now he is not happy. 】

The system cat tilted his head: [Why are you in a bad mood today?Isn't everything going well? 】

The tentacles of the octopus waving the rag paused and froze in mid-air. After a while, it waved cautiously again: [Don't eat me!I have surrendered!Human beings, you have to be reasonable!Human, say something, human! ]

Shi Yu gestured at it with a kitchen knife, and seemed to be looking for a better place to start: [There is almost no food left in the house, and I am thinking about a creature that may be intelligent. Should I drink the northwest wind? 】

The system cat subconsciously checked Shiyu's bank card and system token balance, and said in a low voice: [It's not bad... At least it's okay to make ends meet for half a year. 】

Shi Yu raised his eyebrows and decided to use the knife.

The system cat hurried to stop it, its round body stood in front of Shi Yu, and its two paws pressed on Shi Yu's cheeks: [Don't, don't, you have something to say, you save this kind of creature for me to study!If I really evolved myself to understand and communicate with human language, I can get performance! 】

Shi Yu pushed the system cat aside: [Squat down, stir-fry or charcoal grill? 】

The system cat hurriedly pulled it up again: [Hey, isn't it just money!It's not easy for me to get you some money!You wait, I will make a task for you. 】

[Congratulations to the tasker for triggering the adventure mission [Smart Octopus], please try to communicate with the octopus, if it can be confirmed that the octopus can communicate with the tasker in human language, the mission is successful, and the tasker can get One thousand tokens will be rewarded, one hundred thousand common human currency will be rewarded, and one hundred thousand common human currency will be obtained if the mission fails. 】

[It's done, it's done, hurry up and try to communicate. 】The system cat flicked its tail, trying to jump to the best viewing seat on Shi Yu's shoulders, but it jumped twice, because it didn't step on Shi Yu's shoulders with its two little hind legs. He was able to kick Shiyu's abdomen wildly, and opened two openings in Shiyu's undershirt, revealing the embryonic abdominal muscles inside.

Shi Yu looked amused, held the system cat's butt with one hand and sent it to his shoulders, and his mouth was not idle: [Hiss...it's really heavy, it's not that Dad doesn't love you, but that you really love it. It's time to lose weight. 】

[Go away, focus on your mission! 】The system cat twisted its butt, and sat firmly on Shi Yu's left shoulder.Shi Yu stabilized his body, so as not to let his left shoulder collapse, he took down the can of beans from the kitchen window, and placed a '1' and a '0' on the cooking table.

Instead, he said, "Octopus, can you understand me? If you understand, put the tentacles on '1', and if you don't understand, put the tentacles on '0'."

System Cat: [...?No, why not '1' and '2'? 】

Shi Yu replied meaningfully: [Because we don't have '2' here, only '0' and '1'. 】

The system cat held it in for a long time, and then said: [You're going to be pissed off. 】

When the octopus heard Shi Yu's words, it hesitated for a long time before extending its tentacles to the side of '0'.

Before waiting for the human being in front of him to react, he saw the other party laughing, picked it up and threw it into the bucket with the oxygen machine on the side, and put the lid on it, the other party said coldly: " Wait honestly, and I will take you to a place farther away to release you after I finish eating."

The system cat also laughed out loud on his shoulder: [Hahahaha! !Dad laughed so hard, I don't understand why the tentacles are put on the '0'! 】

It laughed enough, and asked again: [Can you ask a few more questions? ! 】

Shi Yu had already twisted a towel at this moment, wiped off the mucus left by the octopus on the cooking table, and said: [Is there anything I can't ask after eating, are you hungry?Cut the nonsense, the mission is completed, right? 】

[It's so reasonable that I can't even refute it. 】The system cat complained, jumped off Shi Yu's shoulder, stepped on the lid of the bucket with graceful catwalks, and lay down on it: [Adventure Mission [Smart Octopus] mission completed, congratulations to the mission holder for obtaining One thousand reward tokens and one hundred thousand common human currency. 】

Shi Yu's eyebrows moved, and at this moment, his mobile phone just heard the announcement: "Alipay has received 88 yuan! ②"

This broadcast sound can be described as the sound of nature, Shi Yu smiled instantly, and peeled a shrimp and stuffed it into the mouth of the system cat, rubbed its head, and praised: "Our system is awesome, the world is the only one in the world. There is no kitten that can make more money than Xixi!"

Under the double blow of delicious food and praise, the system cat only felt himself in high spirits, and waved his paw vaguely: [As long as you can work honestly, money!beautiful boy!house!There is a big drop! 】

After saying this sentence, the system cat suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning, and looked up at Shi Yu stiffly, even the half-bitten shrimp fell out of its mouth: [Shiyu Shiyu, are you trying to trick me? 】

Shi Yu laughed out loud, rubbed its cat's head again, turned around and went to the cooking table to concentrate on making lunch.

[My day!More than time -! 】The system cat wailed, and only then did it figure out that it just heard Shi Yu complaining about the high prices and poverty when he was shopping for vegetables, and the strange behavior when he was getting octopus. Damn, why is he in a bad mood?That's all fake!He discovered the abnormality of the octopus, so he deliberately kept silent and tricked it into issuing tasks so that he could make a lot of money.

While brushing the oyster snails with a brush, Shi Yu took out a palm-sized Chinese Splendid Lobster and washed it, put the shrimp urine and shrimp string with chopsticks, threw it into the boiling water and scalded it until it was half-cooked, and passed it again. Cold water was stuffed into the system cat's mouth, and it smiled and said, "Good boy~!"

System Cat: How angry! ... Well, the lobster is delicious!

Forget it, it will show mercy and forgive this old dog!

It's not the first time anyway.

There are a lot of impurities on the sea oyster snails. If they are not cleaned, they will easily smell. Fortunately, the stall owner has raised them in the water for a night after they are brought back. There is no need to let them soak in water and spit out sand. It took more than 20 minutes After cleaning seven or eight catties of sea oyster snails, the water in the cauldron was also heated up at this time. He poured the sea oyster snails in whole, added ginger slices cooking wine, cinnamon star anise to remove the fishy smell, and let them cook slowly.

After finishing this step, Shi Yu leaned over and found a pot. The system brought a batch of living supplies to the house. He went to the place where the wine was kept and picked out a bottle of 20-year-old Huadiao. A bottle of sauce-flavored baijiu, but I haven't seen this baijiu for a while, it is probably produced by the system under the name of a leather bag company.

He poured Huadiao wine and baijiu into a new pot according to a certain ratio, and added a little salt and spices. When the sea oyster snails in the pot were cooked, he passed the sea oyster snails with clean water and poured them all into the pot. In the pot, let the wine cover the conch, put it in the refrigerator, and wait for time to catalyze this delicacy.

But at noon, you can’t eat it, at least you can’t eat it until evening. The best solution is to soak it until tomorrow.

He took out the scallops and snails he had bought. He peeled the scallops, dug out the meat and stir-fried them, washed the snails and boiled them. The remaining crayfish are split in half, sprinkled with cooking wine, chopped green onion, ginger slices, coriander and garlic, and steamed. The shrimp are also washed and boiled in a new pot.

As for the tentacles of the octopus that have been cut off, the time will naturally not be wasted. The skin on the tentacles will be peeled off after boiling water, and the rest will be chopped with cooking wine to remove the fishy smell and kneaded into balls.Started a pot and added a bag of soup base, rolled the small balls with only octopus in the pot, and soon the small balls were cooked, and added a quarter of a bag of wood fish chips to enhance the freshness, and it was over.

In less than half an hour, Yu was stunned and came out with four dishes and one soup—and it was all seafood without any green leaves.

The system cat's eyes were straightened, fidgeting on the lid of the bucket, and wanted to jump to Shi Yu's side to grab some food, and was afraid that the octopus would take the opportunity to escape, so it made a series of meowing sounds.

Shi Yu brought all the dishes outside, and moved a [-] to [-]-jin cylinder stone and pressed it on the top of the bucket. Only then did the system cat be released, and the system cat rushed to the living room in no time. While washing his hands, Shi Yu said: " Don’t steal it! Wait for me to come over!”

"Meow meow meow!" The system cat yelled twice in the restaurant as a response.

Shi Yu washed his face again, and washed off the oily smoke that had just stuck on him. He felt a little disgusted with his sweaty and oily undershirt, so he took off his shirt as he walked out, and sat down at the dining table.

He glanced at the dishes on the table, and frowned again. He didn't feel good. He always felt unhealthy if he didn't order green dishes. He struggled for a moment, and took two cans of Sprite from the refrigerator—green!Come on, live together.

"Eat it!" Shi Yu gave an order, and the system cat took a garlic lobster to his plate with a whine, and began to eat it bitterly.

Naturally, Shi Yu was not to be outdone, and his eating speed was so fast - it wasn't that he didn't want to feed the system cat, but that he was slow to eat. The system cat could really clean up the table. , not even a shrimp shell left for him.

The delicious smell wafted all over the fishpond, and the mermaid leaning on the cave didn't move at all, as if it didn't smell any strange smell.

And the killer whales: [Mom!The food that humans eat is really delicious! ]

[So hungry QAQ!I want to try it too! ]

[Hold it!Mom said that human food is not suitable for us to eat!You will get sick if you eat it! ]

[...beep. ] Hearing the words, the killer whale turned its head and bit a small fish passing by it, and swallowed it in one gulp, feeling as if it was lonely.

***

After dinner, Shi Yu was finally in the mood to clean up the octopus.

After all, the crockstone couldn't stop the octopus. It had pushed the lid aside a long time ago, peeking at Shi Yu's movements.At this moment, I have witnessed the human beings eating the soup made by its tentacles very happily, and I am already trembling thinking whether this human being intends to release it later or "release it (reincarnation)" later.

After all, its former owner said that the octopus is delicious only if it is alive, and the shelf life is very short if it is dead!

[Woooooo!Humans are really scary! ]

Shi Yu was not too surprised to see that the lid was pushed to the side, he fished out the octopus that gave up resistance from the bucket, and put it on the cooking table.

The octopuses are scared silly - just now!Here it is!This human has killed countless of its fellow humans!

It's over!It's gone!

Shi Yu didn't put any '0' and '1' this time, but put a cucumber and an egg, and asked: [Xi Xi, what do you want to ask? 】

The System Cat hesitated for a moment, then said: 【Ask why it can understand human language. 】

Shi Yu asked kindly: "... Where did you learn the human language? Is it human? If yes, choose cucumbers, not eggs."

The octopus stretched out its tentacles tremblingly and picked the cucumber.

Shi Yu's eyes narrowed, it's incredible, this octopus actually knows cucumbers and eggs! "Have you been raised by humans? Someone taught you? If yes, choose cucumbers, not eggs."

The octopus stretched out its tentacles on the cucumber, crying bitterly. This human being is so smart that he discovered it so easily!

—Although this matter is not a secret.

The system cat teased Shi Yu and said: [Ask it, how far can it communicate with people? 】

Shi Yu asked back: [How can this be answered by whether or not? 】

[You give it a try with your phone, and it's over! 】

[What the hell, if I lose my phone, you can wait to pay me to buy a new one! 】Although Shi Yu said so, he just won a huge sum of money without calling a mobile phone, and directly opened the notepad of the mobile phone and put it in front of the octopus.

"How much do you know about human language? How far can you communicate?"

The octopus stretched out two tentacles, and tapped a line of English on the phone. The translation is: "I have a level [-] English! Level [-] Chinese! My former owner often took me to read novels in the original language and I learned it. Please don't kill me, my lord!"

[Fuck, amazing! ] The system cat sighed.

When it saw it, Yu looked at it for a while, and for some reason, it was a little proud, and then typed and said: "My family lives about [-] kilometers west of your place, and it is fine for the adults to leave me there. You If you find it troublesome, you can throw it out of the window for me, and I can swim back by myself!"

It paused, and added another sentence: "A good man will live a safe life!"

Well, in addition to the original novel, its former owner often replied to other people in front of the computer with this sentence. After several months of learning, this sentence is the language used for blessings among human beings!Absolutely no problem here!

The corners of Shi Yu's eyes twitched, looking at the words on the screen of his mobile phone, he leaned over to fish a net bag and put the octopus in it.He whistled directly out the window and called the little killer whale over.

After a while, the little killer whale swam to the window, and followed Shi Yu to the edge of the corridor. The little killer whale came out of the water with its head tilted: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-?"

[Why do you call me human? ]

[Hey—missionary, so you are not dead yet!Have human beings pushed to this point?Hey, forget it, whoever raises the human is responsible, human!Throw down the missionary, I will kill it for you! ]

The octopus struggled in the net bag. At first, it had several tentacles coming out of the mesh to wait for an opportunity to escape. Now when it saw the killer whale, it immediately retracted all its tentacles: [Why are there killer whales here! ! !Die, die, die!Human, take me away! ]

The little killer whale laughed and said: [Because this human being was raised by our family!It's not just me!Our family is here! ]

Octopus: I choose death.jpg

Shi Yu shook the net bag, looked sideways at the octopus and said, "Come on, translate what the little killer whale is saying?"

The phone was still entangled in the tentacles of the octopus, and the octopus shook again and again, suspecting that if he could translate the language of the killer whale, the human would definitely throw it to the killer whale in anger!

The previous owner said so!The most taboo of human beings is that someone speaks ill of their pets and children!

After three seconds of fierce struggle, the octopus actually typed a line on the phone: "It said, what's the matter with you calling it here as a human being, and exaggerated that you are becoming more and more handsome and suave! It treats you His love is like a torrential river, unceasing, like the flood of the Yellow River, out of control!"

Shi Yu couldn't help laughing, this octopus has a really big vocabulary, he believes that the other party really has a second level of Chinese language.

He said: "You tell it: it is also very cute, can you lift its tail and show me its wound, I am a little worried about it."

The octopus translated it truthfully, and the little killer whale tilted its head to listen, and swished up its tail and shook it in front of Shi Yu: [I'm fine now!It's just a little sore, but it'll be fine soon!Speaking of humans, you are so smart!He actually thought of using missionaries to communicate!You are awesome!As expected of the humans I raised! ]

When Shi Yu saw the little killer whale's tail standing up, he knew it was reliable. He poked the octopus again and said, "What did it say?"

The octopus typed a line: it is boasting that you are smart and quick-witted, and you are worthy of being its friend.

"Then you tell it, let them gather under the corridor south of the house in another hour, I will show them the wound, and change the medicine along the way, if it understands, it will move its fins."

"Okay, okay!" The octopus replied Shiyu sloppily, and conveyed the words to the little killer whale.

The little killer whale was also full of joy, and flicked its fins according to the missionary's intention. It looked at Shi Yu with softer eyes. If Shi Yu hadn't expressed that he still had something to do, it would have dragged Shi Yu into the water for a kiss. kiss him!

Its humans are really cute!

The system cat has been stunned by Shi Yu's wit since Shi Yu got the octopus as a translator: [Slip this way, Shi Yu, you will be able to communicate with killer whales in the future, and everyone will go to sea together in the future, why not? It's not that you can make a lot of money!It's done!We are going to develop! 】

Shi Yu glanced at the system cat, as if he was looking at a mentally handicapped: 【You thought of this? 】

[What else? 】The system cat froze for a moment: 【What else can I do? 】

【You wait here. ] Shi Yu gave an order, took the net bag and went to the house to find a washbasin and a towel to comb out, then took the octopus to the direction of the small pavilion where the mermaid was.

The system cat got furious when he saw it: [Fuck!I told you not to use my comb! ——Wait, Shiyu, do you want to...? 】

Shi Yu replied: "Otherwise? 】

How could such an easy-to-use translator be used on the little killer whale?There is an old man living in his house!Take the translator to find the uncle, and see if you can reach a harmonious negotiation with the uncle!

Well...it's not a negotiation, it's okay to communicate and touch this old man's idiosyncrasies, so as not to be surprised every day in the future and step on a thunder without knowing which day, and die.

The mermaid in the kiosk heard the footsteps in the corridor and knew that the human was coming to it. When Shi Yu walked to the door of the kiosk, he happened to meet the mermaid's opened eyes.

I don't know if it's Shi Yu's illusion, but he always feels that the color of the mermaid's eyes today is a little lighter than yesterday's. If yesterday's mermaid's eyes were the mysterious deep sea, but today's color is the bright and gorgeous offshore layer, It is light light blue.

It was too early in the morning, the light was not very good, and he couldn't see clearly for a while. Now he was facing the afternoon sun, so he could feel the slight change.

Or is such a slight color change due to the chromatic aberration caused by too strong light?

The mermaid didn't make a sound, Shi Yu paused at the door, didn't go directly into the kiosk, but took a small step in after the mermaid stopped looking at him.

The mermaid didn't seem to have any resistance to him, so Shi Yu came to the edge of the small pond, and raised the net bag in his hand as a signal: "Hi, I invited a marine creature that can communicate with humans today. It communicates with you."

The mermaid looked at the octopus.

Octopus: [Dancing grass, dancing grass!Why is this heresy here!The only god in the ocean is my god, Lord R'lyeh!I will never admit it! ]

Mermaid: [Shut up. ]
