"What's the matter? Are you not used to this way of eating? That's right. People here eat sour, spicy, and a little sweet. I heard that you don't eat like this very much outside." While eating, I saw Du Yuhan and Zhu Zi Xuan and the others looked at the meat in the rice bowl and hesitated, and Grandma Lianhua ran over to ask a question.

↑

Grandma Lianhua is the old woman who led the women to untie the dragon. She is the wife of the village head and the most respected woman in the village. However, the reason why she is highly respected in the village is not because of her man, It's because of herself. She was the boss of the women in the village when she was young, and she is still the boss now. The women in the village are willing to ask her for advice on everything, just like the men in the village are more used to looking for the village chief.

She is also a naturally enthusiastic person. She distributed meals to everyone and urged everyone to eat. She hasn't eaten yet. No, noticing the hesitation of the guests, she immediately put down her rice bowl and cared again.

"It...isn't a matter of taste." Du Yuhan smiled dryly, looking at the meat in the bowl, the shock in her mind still hasn't subsided!

Because of the memories of her previous life, the dragon is a fetish in her mind. As early as when she found out about eating Galapo, the three of them were shocked when they found the dragon head. Eating unicorns instead of dragons didn't make them feel any better!

And now—this is a real dragon!Dragon!

This thing can appear in myths and legends, it can appear on statues, and it can appear on the dinner table...

Although the ancestors also have the saying "dragon liver and phoenix marrow".

"Is it because it's a dragon?" Grandma Lianhua said clearly, "People outside of you seem to think that this dragon is a very handsome fetish."

"That's right, that's it, because I always look up at them when I usually look at them, but I didn't expect to see them at the dinner table..." Du Yuhan said.

Grandma Lianhua laughed: "It's also because there are too few dragons outside. This is the only thing in our sea here. If we don't eat them, what else can we eat? We can't eat people, right?"

"In this sea...is there really only dragons?" Du Yuhan asked.

Grandma Lianhua sighed: "Isn't it? My family's ancestors have lived here for generations. Since a long time ago, this sea has been full of dragons. Apart from these guys, there is nothing to eat. At that time, even the coconut in the back There is really nothing, there is really nothing, people here can only eat these dragons, the legend outside says that we are very powerful and good at catching dragons, if we don’t catch dragons, we will starve to death.”

"Your family?" Du Yuhan keenly heard the difference.

Grandma Lianhua smiled again: "Well, the ancestors of the old man and the others came from outside. As far as the real aborigines are concerned, they are ours, the one surnamed Tu."

Grandma told the history of the village - it turned out that the real natives in the village were the ancestors of Lianhua Grandma and the others. The legendary fishermen who were good at catching dragons referred to their ancestors, but the myths and legends did not say that in At the beginning, there was nothing in the sea here except dragons. Even if the fishermen were not good at catching dragons, they could only be good at it. At that time, the place they were on was an island, which did not border any continent. Here, I lived a life of either eating dragons or being eaten by dragons. Later, the explorers sent by the king of the "True Eastern Kingdom" came here. , also brought things from the outside world to them.

Because they eat dragons, the king gave the surname "Tu", which means "slaying dragons". For the first time, this barren land began to communicate with the outside world. I noticed that the local aborigines had been intermarried for a long time. , The king sent new immigrants to live here. These new immigrants were given the surname "Dragon", and waterways were built to allow outside materials to come in.

For the first time, the local aborigines lived a good life. They had all kinds of fruits to eat and all kinds of food crops. The land on their side was so barren that nothing could grow. The king brought in the fertile soil outside to help They improved the soil, and gradually, they finally had all kinds of fruits and grains grown on their own land, and there were also fish species other than dragons in the sea. Of course, the fish species were also brought in from outside by the king.

This is how the saying "the fishermen on the seaside of Zhendong country are good at catching dragons" came into being.

"Coconut seeds, hot peppers, and tamarind are all grown from the seeds brought in at that time. The land here is too barren, and nothing can grow except these! But these three things grow very well. It is also because of this that all the dishes here are sour, sweet and spicy." Grandma said: "It is suitable for the climate here, our place is humid and hot, suitable for eating these."

"It's just that the good times don't last long—" She changed her voice.

After that, there was a battle between Tianlong and human beings. Almost all the land of Zhendong Kingdom was submerged by sea water, and the last thing left was their land. The only remaining land supported the only remaining people of Zhendong Kingdom. At this time, the True Eastern Kingdom no longer exists, and this place has become the True Eastern Realm.

"These dragons are too good to eat. They ate up all the fish that the king brought in before, and they ate each other. They called for rain to flood the only crops left on our island, and washed the seedlings in the crops into the water to eat. And eat our dragons, our children..."

Speaking of this, Grandma Lianhua's expression became serious, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were long and deep. She pursed her lips and said, "Maybe the Tianlong outside is very handsome, but our Tianlong here is really not a good thing."

She said, pointing to the pieces of meat soaked in fragrant spices in the bowl: "This red dragon, before you came here, was making waves on the beach for a long time, and he ate two dragons we raised. They are all cute little dragon cubs." The reason why it was eaten was because the red dragon wanted to eat the doll on the island, and the two dragon cubs fought against the red dragon for the doll to the end and were eaten by it."

"Poor those two little dragon cubs, they are the little dragon cubs that hatched from the last two eggs left by our previous white dragon. Like their aunt, they are very loyal little dragons..."

Speaking of this, there was still a tear in Grandma's eyes. The tears didn't roll down, but she forced them back. Looking at the sea in the distance, Grandma smiled again: "Finally, we also avenged them."

After finishing speaking, she ate the dragon meat in the bowl.

After listening to Grandma Lianhua's narration, Du Yuhan's family was thoughtful.

Hate dragons and love dragons, eat dragons and raise dragons, these are all caused by the special geographical conditions and species structure here. Perhaps, the attitude of people here to dragons is the most simple and primitive attitude?No apotheosis, just the most authentic thoughts formed by touching each other every day?

Love because you are cute, hate because you are hateful?

Thinking of this, Du Yuhan glanced at the food in the bowl, grabbed a piece of meat with his hand and ate it after a while.

Well, not bad.

After him, Zhu Zixuan also made a move. As for Du Yingying... the plate of meat in her bowl was almost liquidated.

As an ordinary aborigine somewhere in the world of cultivating immortals, she didn't have this kind of entanglement for a long time.

This meal is not only to welcome Du Yingying and other guests, but also to celebrate the return of the wanderer from afar.

After a lively meal, everyone started to get busy with business—the boss of the ship and his party did not go out just to collect a ticket to give away, their main purpose turned out to be shopping.

Regarding this point, Du Nan also just found out.

This ship is huge, but there are not many guests. Du Nan felt that it would be a waste to take such a trip this morning!However, looking at the various things brought out of the cabin, Du Nan deeply thought that the boss of the ship was acting shrewdly.

Carrying people was just a way to make some money by the way. Except for the wages of the boatmen, the boss of the boat kept almost nothing and bought everything.

To Du Nan's surprise, the thing he bought the most was soil.

That's right, it's the most common kind of soil, some have aura and some don't, the only thing they have in common is that they are fertile enough.

"Every time I go to a realm, I go down to buy some local soil. We have too little soil here, and the dragons in the sea make troubles from time to time, causing the land around the outer circle to sink further. In addition, the soil on the island is not good, so we can't grow it. I came up with this idea as soon as the things came, and it doesn’t matter if I’m a bit stupid, but I can only think of this idea.” Speaking of the soil he bought, the boat boss laughed and showed his big white teeth.

However, Du Nan's family was rather surprised—isn't this... not land reclamation?Can come up with this method, the boss of the boat is really a formidable person!

In addition to soil, the boat boss also bought a lot of livestock, various vegetables, fruits, and various food crops outside. There are ready-made ones and a large number of seeds. He also bought a lot of fish fry!In fact, not only fish fry, but also all kinds of things that can live in seawater, he bought a little bit.

Somewhat like the king in the story of Grandma Lotus, he brought to the island what was not on the island but was available outside.

"A Ying heard from me that when he grew up, it was extremely difficult to explore the waterway outside, but since he was a child, he decided to go out for the villagers and bring back the things outside." He was carrying things with other people, watching Du Yuhan and others were also helping to transport the goods, and Grandma Lianhua smiled and said to them.

Except for the soil, all the things were uniformly distributed to each family in the village, and the owner of the boat got a share of it. Because of taking the boat out, his family got a little more than other families, but that’s the difference. Yes, it is basically distributed equally by head.

Du Nan's family even got a share!

The things they got were: a handful of seeds, a sapling, a lamb, a bag of grain, and a bowl of fry.There are fewer clothes and so on than others, but the types are not too different.

The chief of the village said: "Since you want to live here for a while, it is equivalent to settling down. There are no sellers in the village. Except for all kinds of things for cooking, you have to grow them yourself, let alone I am generous, but I also have my own selfish intentions, I am borrowing your labor to give the village something to grow!"

Afraid that the Du family would refuse, the village head still said so.

As everyone knows—there was a flash of light in her eyes, but Du Yingying did not refuse, she took all the things, she patted her chest and said: "Okay, thanks to the old man for not treating us as outsiders, our family must treat these things well, I am good at growing things , will never waste anything for you!"

She said that, seeing her generous attitude, the village chief was very satisfied. He is a generous person, and he also admires people who are also agile. Du Yingying's temperament is quite to his appetite, but because the land in the village is really barren, he would rather She didn't take Du Yingying's words to heart.

Giving her things is his attitude towards guests. However, all kinds of crops in the village have been planted and died all the time, and even livestock can't be raised for too long. After all, it is extremely difficult for even a blade of grass to grow on their land. What about feeding the livestock?

At this moment, the old man of the village chief never expected that this kindness sent out would give him a huge surprise in return in the future!

Surprised that the beard is floating!
