Chinese New Year's Eve, a grand day.

Since the old man's death, the two brothers of the Jiang family have not spent the Spring Festival together. It's not that there is a contradiction, it's just that a high-ranking official, a wealthy businessman, each with their own ideas and lifestyles, forcibly reunited, can only embarrass each other.

This year, however, it was very unexpected that Father Jiang learned that his daughter was going home, so he took the initiative to invite his younger brother to come and spend Chinese New Year's Eve together. Although the second uncle was strange, it was indispensable, so he nodded and agreed.

So, two families of six people got together like this.

At this moment, the brothers were talking secretly in the study upstairs, and the door was closed tightly, which was quite strange. The two ladies are making dumplings downstairs, oh, to be exact, it is Jiang's mother who is making dumplings, and the second aunt is making rice cakes.

The second aunt's name is Yang Qing, born in Jiangnan, scholarly family, with a hazy smell of smoke and rain. She seems to be weak, but with her husband's status and financial resources, she can stay in the main palace for decades, and her scheming is definitely very comparable.

Now it's past eight o'clock, and the Spring Festival Gala is being broadcast on TV, and the two are chatting while watching.

"This party is for northerners, it seems that when it comes to the New Year, the whole country is eating dumplings. But seriously, if I hadn't known so many Southern friends, I used to think so. Jiang Ma smiled.

"I don't often watch it, I just glance at the singing and dancing, those cross talk sketches or something, I don't understand it, and I don't think it's funny. ”

Yang Qing spoke softly, and his hands were also busy, first took out the glutinous rice that had been mashed and cooled in advance, and then mixed the sugar, hemp seeds, green plums, raisins, etc. into filling, brushed a layer of lard on the square plate, spread glutinous rice, and put some stuffing on each layer, a total of three layers.

Then it is steamed in a pot, which is called eight-treasure rice cake.

"Alas, it seems that when you first got married, I tasted your craft once, and I didn't have much chance in the future, but today I have a good mouth. Mother Jiang sighed.

"Heh, everyone is busy, it's time to get together during the Spring Festival. ”

Yang Qing finished cleaning up the rice cakes, glanced at the bedroom, and asked softly: "Sister-in-law, Sumire has been following Xiao Zhai since she graduated, I don't know what she's busy with, I don't say anything when I ask, do you know what's going on?"

"Well, I don't know very well, we really don't understand the things about young people now, and it's hard to ask. ”

Jiang's mother paused and said, "As long as it's safe, I don't care about anything else." ”

"It's still my sister-in-law's heart. ”

She smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

……

In the bedroom, Xiao Zhai and Xiao Jin Pia are lying on the bed, stretching their bodies. One 177, one 175, as far as the eye can see, it's all legs, it's all legs.

My sister was playing a game, and Xiao Zhai was flipping through the app.

In just a few days, seven more items have been added to the biological atlas, and plants are still the most, with nineteen entries, distributed in fifteen provinces. There are thirteen entries for animals, spread over nine provinces.

The weather is still not there, and the geography is still the peach blossom miasma of the grass estuary.

She flipped through the botanical spectrum first, there was nothing special, they were all ordinary alienations, but the medicinal value had increased. Then I looked at the animal spectrum again, but I sighed.

"Black-fin yellow-tailed eel, serpentine, about 110-160 cm long, up to 2 meters long. The original form is a yellow eel, and after the alienation, it gives birth to a fan-shaped black dorsal fin, and the tip of the tail is golden yellow and covered with barbs.

The body is bare, lubricated, scale-free, and mucus-rich. The head is enlarged, and there are fine teeth on the upper and lower jaws and mouth bones, and the bite force is extremely strong, and it can easily bite off the arm bones of adults. Fierce and aggressive, not to be approached.

Found in East Dongting Lake, Yueyang-Junshan-Huarong first-line breeding area, West Dongting Lake, Qili Lake-Muping Lake first-line breeding area, the number is very large, and five people have been bitten.

The blood is toxic, which can irritate the mucous membranes of the oral cavity and digestive tract, damage the nervous system, numb the limbs, respiratory and circulatory failure, and die. However, the toxins are not heat-resistant, and can be eaten by high-temperature steaming, which can replenish qi and blood, strengthen muscles and bones, and also have a relieving effect on some phase toxins. ”

"Giant toe thick-armored turtle, body length 80-130 cm, erect height 50-90 cm, flattened, oval-shaped, dorsal and ventral thick armor, strong defense, can resist all kinds of pistol shots.

The original shape is a soft-shelled turtle, with small eyes, new teeth in the mouth, a slender neck, 5 toes on the front and back limbs, and 3 toes on the inner side with sharp claws.

Gluttonous temperament, when food is insufficient, they can kill each other, and even go ashore to eat people. There is no hibernation habit, and it has been found in various breeding areas of Dongting Lake, and no casualties have been caused. ”

"The spinnaker mussel, the original form of the spinnaker mussel, is widely cultivated in the Dongting Lake area, and there are not many changes, mainly because the volume increases, the color becomes darker, and the habit is not abnormal.

This mussel is unique to Xia and is a good material for pearl breeding. 80-120 mussels, 500 grams of seedless pearls, but also nuclear pearls, colored pearls, night pearls and so on. In addition, bead grafting surgery can be carried out, and the bead nucleus can be implanted in the mantle of adult mussels, and pearls of more than 8mm can be bred.

The meat is edible, and the bead powder has the functions of diarrhea and heat to calm shock, antiseptic muscle, and detoxification of the eyes. The effect of pearl breeding after alienation is not yet known, and it is being tested. ”

Dongting Lake, Dongting Lake......

Xiao Zhai muttered to himself, with a hint of helplessness: "The water tribe has finally exerted its might, and it will be able to bear it in the future." ”

Jin Jin listened to it next to her, leaned over to take a look, and shouted: "Wow, even the yellow eel has become a fine this year, whoever dares to broadcast live, I will reward her with 100 million!"

“……”

Xiao Zhai glanced at her, too lazy to take care of it, and only said: "The three of them are all in Dongting Lake, and the waterside is different from the land, so don't make any trouble." ”

It's no wonder that she's worried, Dongting is much more awesome than Flaming Mountain.

Its predecessor was Yunmeng Daze in ancient times. It is recorded in the "Hanyang Chronicles": "The clouds are in the north of the river, and the dream is in the south of the river." "Together, it is called Yunmeng.

In its heyday, the area reached 40,000 square kilometers, reaching Qizhou in the east, Zhijiang in the west, Jingshan in the south, and Qingcao in the north.

Later, due to sediment deposition, Yunmengze was divided into two parts, north and south, the north of the Yangtze River was a swampy area, and there was a vast lake left in the south of the Yangtze River, that is, Dongting Lake.

If there is a change here, Yunmeng recovers, tsk, don't dare to think, dare not think!

"Xiao Zhai, Xiao Jin, it's time to eat!"

"Well, here we are!"

The two of them lay down for a while, and when they heard the call, they got up and went out.

Dad Jiang and the second uncle also happened to come out, and the second uncle looked at them as usual, he shouldn't know the inside story, but there was also a hint of depression on his face, maybe Dad Jiang revealed something.

At the dinner table, he drank a lot of wine, and soon became dizzy and was helped into the guest room by Yang Qing.

Jiang's mother cleaned up the mess, and Xiao Jin pretended to be well-behaved and ran to help. Dad Jiang looked at his daughter, a little embarrassed and unnatural, and said, "Let's talk?"

"Hmm. Xiao Zhai nodded.

So, the father and daughter went into the study again.

The atmosphere was very weird for a while, and both sides were very polite, not like blood relatives.

“……”

After being silent for a while, Xiao Zhai finally spoke, Rao is Jiang's father was mentally prepared, and he was also taken aback.

"Dad, can you and your mother resign?"
