The Musai port of Castile to Weijia in the Kingdom of Light is generally only half a month's voyage, and this season happens to be smooth, and this route should be very busy, with a large number of ships from the Kingdom of Light transporting grain to and from this coastal route.

Unfortunately, this year, the route is very deserted, the grain trade has stopped, and the sea ships do not need to rush to Mousse.

The Autumn Sonata sailed alone on the way, and did not meet another ship for several days.

An old man fishes on the side of the Autumn Sonata, and the old man's clothes and hair accessories are different from the others.

On a hot day, the old man wore a blue long-sleeved slanted robe, dark trousers, white socks and cloth shoes, and his long white hair was tied in a bun on the top of his head, which was fixed with a strange hair ornament. The old man had a slightly pointed chin, a goatee, and small eyebrows, but a very kind smile.

When the old man saw Jacques coming up from the bilge, he nodded and smiled at him, and Jacques learned the oriental custom and put his hands together and said, "Hello Mr. Wang, I wonder how Mr. has gained today?"

Mr. Wang pointed to the big iron bucket beside him, and laughed loudly: "Jacques Xiaoyou is a little bit fur to learn from the old man's talk, haha! Today, the old man is lucky, he has an awakened level flounder, but tonight I want to see Xiaoyou's cooking skills." ”

When Jacques heard this, his heart sank, this old guy actually caught a strange beast fish!

The probe looked into the bucket, only to see a person hugging the size of a fish, the body of the diamond is flattened, lying on the bottom of the bucket weakly, the peculiar thing is that the two eyes of this fish are on the side of the body, the body surface source can flow, it is indeed a strange beast.

"I was shocked by the old man and injured my internal organs, and I had more air in and less air, so if I want to keep it fresh, it is recommended to cook it immediately and eat it fresh. Mr. Wang was urging Jacques to hurry up and start work.

However, Jacques was more worried about whether there was a problem with the navigation formation, and it stands to reason that no strange beast would take the initiative to approach the sea ship within two or three miles.

Mr. Wang saw Jacques's concern, pointed to his fishing rod, and explained: "The old man's fishing line is a silk, which is extremely tough and can conduct source energy. ”

"Mr. Wang, you're not afraid of catching high-level beasts!"

"Don't worry, not to mention that we are still in the shallow sea, the level of the alien beast is not high, the old man can judge the strength of the alien beast biting the hook by the speed of the ablation light cluster, if it is above the high level of the plasticizer, let it go." ”

"Then I'll rest assured, I'll deal with this ...... What fish?"

"Flounder...... Xiaoyou, this fish is best steamed, marinated in coarse salt cooking wine, steamed over high heat, supplemented with green onion and ginger, and poured with hot oil and soy sauce after it comes out of the pot. ”

Green onion and ginger ......

Steam!......

The old man is really embarrassing!

The theories are set one by one, but they don't work by themselves.

......

By consulting Fat Tangerine, Jacques finally made a plate of steamed fish according to Mr. Wang's request, and the aroma was full of cabin!

Not bothering Lily's cultivation, Jacques dragged her to the restaurant to taste the flounder together.

Even Fat Orange squatted under the table, waiting for Jacques to "accidentally" leak some fish.

A table of four, Jacques, Lily, Fabian and Mr. Wang.

Jacques picked up the knife and planned to divide the large fish on his plate into four portions and divide them among everyone. But I saw Mr. Wang take out two thin green sticks from his wide cuffs, hold them with one hand, deftly pick up a fish eye, dip it in the soup, shake it in front of everyone, and stuff it into his mouth.

Seeing the strange eyes of the other three people, he hurriedly said: "Hahaha, the old man is abrupt, the old man has not been able to taste the dishes of his hometown during the time he has been in your country, and in a hurry, he forgot that the habit of your country is to divide meals." ”

Jacques hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter if you eat separately, we have also eaten in oriental-style restaurants, and we are happy about your tableware just now." ”

Mr. Wang suddenly realized: "This is my country's tableware called chopsticks." Before, Fabian's little friend cooked casually, and the old man ate it casually, so he didn't use it. This time, the fish made by Jacques Xiaoyou is quite similar to my country's cuisine, and in order to appear solemn, the old man took out this pair of jade chopsticks. ”

Fabian didn't mind that Mr. Wang said that he didn't cook well, but he was particularly interested in the affairs of the Bright Divine Kingdom, and hurriedly asked, "Is it that when we arrive in the Bright Divine Kingdom, we have to use this kind of chopsticks for dinner......?"

Jacques said, "Mr. Wang, forgive me, although the three of us all grew up in the port of Musay, and occasionally meet some people from the Kingdom of Light, most of whom are sailors of sea ships transporting grain, but we have no contact.

This is the first time we have contact with your country, and there are many things we don't know about etiquette and culture, and we ask Mr. Wang for advice. ”

Mr. Wang sighed: "To be honest, when Miss Marianne first came into contact with the old man, the old man didn't believe that there would be such a good thing. It was only when the negotiators of your country came to test our details, and in the end, it was the second prince who came forward, and the old man believed in you and took you away.

For 5,000 years, due to the special environment of the Kingdom of God, the communication between the land and the mainland was almost cut off, and they could only venture to the coastal waters to communicate with the mainland.

Therefore, it has avoided the chaotic era of sectarianism and nation-wide rivalry in the past, but it has also formed a tradition of closing the door and window to unify the country.

Therefore, when it comes to etiquette and customs, the Kingdom of God still maintains a large number of rituals before the battle of the gods five thousand years ago.

In fact, although you are not official envoys, you are the first batch of envoys to come to your country since the establishment of your country.

Not to mention people-to-people exchanges, not only is your country's grain trade limited to the port of Mousse, but crews and merchants are not allowed to leave the docks at will.

Our country even prohibits any foreigners from landing, and when we arrive at Weijia City, you will not be able to get off the ship without the old man accompanying us.

The two sides are blocking each other, and it is not surprising that you do not understand our country.

Etiquette culture is not something that can be finished in one or two sentences, and there are still a few days left on the voyage, and the old man can take a moment to talk to you. ”

While he was explaining, Jacques divided the fish, served him a plate of divided fish, and stuffed the whole head of the fish into his plate by the way.

After sitting down, he said, "Thank you, Mr. Wang! Actually, I have always had a question, why the Kingdom of God and us, as well as the countries of the New World, have roughly the same language and writing, but the culture, customs, and even source energy skills are different. ”

Mr. Wang thought for a moment and said, "Your question involves ancient history before the War of the Gods. The old man doesn't know much about ancient history, but the old man has a younger brother who works in the national capital Royol, and he has a deep study of ancient history. It just so happens that we are also going to the national capital, so if you have time, you can ask him for advice.

The old man here has a legend that is widely spread in our country, if the little friend is interested, the old man will talk about it. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, I would like to hear more. ”

Mr. Wang suddenly changed the topic and said: "This fish is very delicious, but unfortunately eating fish without wine is a fly in the ointment." ”

Jacques immediately reacted and said, "I don't know what Mr. Wang thinks of red wine? Among the gifts given to the high priest by His Royal Highness the Second Prince are several bottles of red wine made from grapes, if Mr. Wang is interested, I will go and get them, anyway, there are not two bottles missing." ”
