Chapter 13 A fish banquet, drinking and talking about the world
The four of them sat in a circle. Guang Hui, Jiao Ting, and Han Bolong had all been hanging out in the world for a long time, and they had traveled through a lot of misty worlds. While everyone ate some fruits to cool down, they talked about their own experiences.
Guang Hui wants to say one thing first.
Two years ago, I was in a fantasy world called Shili Village. Livestock in the village were often lost at night, and all doors were closed at night. Even so, the number of livestock in the yard will decrease the next day, and the villagers dare not go out at night. Baozheng summoned the villagers to patrol at night. The phenomenon of losing livestock has improved, but it cannot be eliminated.
"After the Sa family left, Baozheng saw that the Sa family had some martial arts skills and was a monk, so he entrusted me with the matter. The Sa family ambushed the village every night, and finally discovered that it was a big snake that had entered the village to steal food. It stands to reason that a snake can go without food for ten days, so the Sa family followed the big snake into the mist. In a valley not far away, the Sa family saw from a distance a man playing a flute to train the snake. Wearing a loose, collarless, knee-length gown with slits on both sides and a turban on his head, Sajia came forward to argue. He didn't understand the language, so he was not from China. Die.”
"I picked up a snake-making secret book on this guy, and I don't know how to get it into his hands."
···
Jiao Ting picked up the conversation and said:
"Since I left Zhongshan Mansion, I have traveled around and entered many worlds. Although I have no place to settle down, there are two places I always think about."
"This first place is an island. A town called itself the country of Funan. There were many crocodiles here, the big ones were two to three feet long and had four legs. When the king of Funan heard about this, he sent people to capture them and put them in the trench at the city gate. On the evening of the third day of a certain residence, I suddenly saw a man pushed into a ditch by two officials. He said that the county magistrate could not judge whether the man was guilty, so he pushed him into the pond and let the crocodile decide whether he was guilty or not. If you kill him, you won’t eat him even if you smell him.”
After everyone heard this, they all said that he was a confused county magistrate. Asking what happens next.
Jiao Ting took a sip of tea and said: "I don't know if the crocodile has been hungry for a long time, or it is a very evil person. As soon as it was pushed into the pool, it was bitten, torn into pieces and devoured. The second official went back After returning to life, the onlookers were still watching with great interest. I asked the other spectators, "Is there anyone who can survive in the pool?"
Everyone made guesses, "The old man said, hehe, foreigners who competed with the locals for profit suffered this disaster." After hearing this, I felt like the hair on my head stood on end. When I use my fists to show off my skills here, isn't it also about competing with others for profit? At that time, I was anxious, but I didn't show it on my face. I turned back to my residence, packed my luggage, and went to another place overnight.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the city gate, five or seven businessmen came after me and wanted to take me to the county magistrate's office for questioning. Seeing that it was not my head, I knocked away the soldiers guarding the city gate and ran out of the city. Someone with quick feet came to catch me, but they took advantage of me. I punched me and knocked him into the crocodile pool. I kicked him again and again. One person entered the pool, broke away from the others, and fled into the mist. Seeing those two people from a distance, they were also killed and devoured by crocodiles. ”
Everyone laughed and said happily after hearing this.
Unexpectedly, it was Youshi, and the cook asked if he would come to the banquet. The new chef was going to make a whole fish feast, and the ingredients were all ready.
Zhao Zhen asked: "Didn't he let him rest for two days before working?"
The cook returned: "Chef Li came to the kitchen with Manager Tang and saw me. I'm about to pack up the freshly delivered herring. I'm so happy to see the hunter that I accept it, so I'll offer a whole fish feast to show my appreciation."
"Well, let's get a jar of wine. , two pieces of cloth were given to Chef Li."
Zhao Zhen said: "Brothers, please go to the hall to have a feast."
As soon as I sat down, I saw the cook bringing up a large plate, half of which was filled with fish heads. There is a thick layer of chili peppers on top, and when hot oil is poured on it, the aroma is fragrant.
The waiter sings "The first dish is the fish head as an appetizer. Wash the fish head, cut it open in the middle of the fish lip, make a diagonal cut on the thicker part of the fish, mince the chili pepper and steam it with the fish head."< br>
Zhao Zhen held up chopsticks to persuade him, while Zhao Yuanli served on the side. The meat on the fish head is tender and translucent in the mouth, soft and waxy, salty and slightly spicy.
"Er Dao, crispy dragon sun clothes. Wash the fish skin, boil it in hot water, cut into thin strips, cool and season."
"Sandao, blooming golden armor. Wrapped in fish scales Dip in egg liquid and fry in oil. ”
"Four courses, a fragrance that lingers on your lips and teeth, baked fish belly in a clay pot..."
"Five courses, fresh and juicy, fish balls in clear soup..."
"Six courses, you will never get tired of eating them. Fried fish steak..."
"Seven ways, sweet and fattening, braised fish pieces..."
"Eight ways, overflowing with mellow aroma, fish and mutton are fresh in one pot... ·”
"Nine roads, gold mining in the sand, five-spice fish liver..."
"Ten roads, pure and white, fish belly double crisp..."
"Eleven roads, white snow in spring, crab roe Fish brain soup..."
"Twelve dishes, passionate as fire, spicy fish miscellaneous..." "Thirteen dishes, hundreds of mouthfuls, steamed eggs with fish roe..."
"Fourteen paths, ups and downs in the water, fish maw and glue soup..."
"Fifteen paths, clear and clear, fish blood in clear water..."
"Sixteen paths, jumping through the dragon gate, Braised fish in the water..."
Zhao Zhen also did not expect that Li Xiaoer could cook sixteen kinds of fish dishes with different names and tastes from one fish. There was a lot of chatter, laughter and shouting, and Zhao Zhen and the three heroes drank happily and had a feast.
After half-drinking, the three heroes each expressed their feelings and became closer and closer.
At that moment, Zhao Zhen asked, "Brother Han, how did you get involved with Brother Guanghui?"
Han Bolong said: "It's a coincidence that Xiao Ke heard about the owner of the village, Corporal Li Xian, and was about to surrender. While traveling through the fog, they encountered the Guanghui brothers and their convoy, who were being attacked by more than twenty wolves. A black wolf king was howling in the distance, and the wolves were scattered around to rescue them, but the wolf king was exhausted. Right in front of me, I picked up a stick and hit the wolf king on the waist, killing the beast. After that, the other wolves dispersed immediately, and they knew that Brother Guanghui happened to be from the village, so he followed the convoy. Come."
Guang Hui said: "Yes, that wolf king is very cunning. Fortunately, Brother Han Bolong came here by chance, otherwise he would have been injured." He filled a bowl of wine for Han Bolong and raised it. Bowls collide.
“It was a smooth journey when I went there. On the way back, in addition to being attacked by a pack of wolves, I also encountered a blind bear looking for food. He followed the convoy from a distance for more than 20 miles. I was careful all the way. Unexpectedly, the wild wolf took advantage of it," Guanghui said with a slightly self-deprecating tone. Everyone also laughed.
While they were talking and laughing, Li Xiaoer came forward and offered a fist-sized herring stone: "Master, this is the herring stone. Please keep it." Zhao Zhen took it and handed it to him. With Zhao Yuanli who was serving next to him. Let it dry in the shade and then process it into a safe buckle.
"Boy, I didn't know you had such ability. I'm so lucky to join my farm."
"The owner of the farm is too polite. I have been diligent since I was a child and am good at cooking. I opened a small shop to make a living. Because of the good vegetables and the good juice, everyone who came to eat was applauded, so the business went smoothly. Unfortunately, the year was bad, and I had to live in the world because of eating. Unexpectedly, it was a blessing in disguise. I have read the fragments of "Shi Xian Hong Mi" by heart, and I am good at cooking fish."
As he spoke, he took out the ancient book and handed it to Zhao Zhen.

Get career guides, increase the foundation of the fantasy world, and gain +1 luck.
Do you know why this professional guide can increase luck in the fantasy world?
First, characters in the fantasy world can awaken to become professionals through reading and practice. Of course, this also requires a certain amount of talent. For example, Li Xiaoer is a good cook and succeeded in finding his job easily. Based on this, troops can be generated, traded in the main world, and profit can be made.
Both, this object can make people in the main world serve as guides and must become professionals. Therefore, there are Dao patterns on the object, and the user can inherit the many years of experience left by the user or maker. But it can only be used once. The remaining Daoyun can only be used as a basis for training the fantasy world's troops.
Zhao Zhen feels that the current value of this item should be higher than the value of the Secret Record of Snake Making. After all, compared to professions such as doctors that require qualifications, it is easier to get started as a cook. This thing is enough to become the foundation of a small force like my own.
Zhao Zhen said: "Xiaoer, this thing is of great use to me. It's not easy to take it away out of thin air. I will reward you with 10 taels of gold. Don't shirk it." After that, Zhao Yuanli took out the gold from the warehouse and handed it to Li Xiao two.
Zhao Zhen stood up, held three glasses in a row, drank with Li Xiaoer, and invited Li Xiaoer to sit down. How could Li Xiaoer be willing to sit down? He waved his hand and refused. "Master, waiter, what kind of person am I? How dare I sit at the same table with all the heroes."
"Today I am very happy that the owner has taken me in and arranged for me and my husband to make a living and become the chef of the village. I am very happy." Fortunately, there are two knife-hands in the kitchen, which is exactly what I saw today. The big herring I saw today was offered to the Buddha by flowers, so that the village owner and the heroes can try their skills. From now on, the villain is also considered to be in Xixi Village. "It has taken root."
Seeing Li Xiaoer's sincerity and his repaying nature, Zhao Zhen immediately said: "In that case, brother Xiaoer, I won't say any more words of thanks. From now on, the kitchen work will be handed over to my brother."
Li Xiaoer bowed his hands and thanked me: "Master, I have been busy for a long time. I will take my leave today. From now on, I have instructions from the master. The arrangement must be appropriate. "
Not to mention that Li Xiaoer left with wine, meat, cloth, gold, silver and money.
When the two heroes at the table saw that Li Xiaoer had arranged their tasks, they also became interested.
