Prisoner of the Wasteland, Clever Tongue Fuels the Fire! Chapter 10: The Adventures of Osawa
Lightning and thunder, turbid waves emptied, winds howled, and dark clouds piled up deeper and deeper like snow, as if they were about to fall from the sky.
The journey to Lancang Daze was not very peaceful.
"It's going to rain." The fishermen collected the sails of the small fishing boat and stopped paddling.
The sky is dark on all sides, and the mountains and rivers are dangerous, and the deep dense forests are connected into a green city wall.
Chi Chao drilled a head out of the fishing house, and more than a dozen points of rain hit him in the face with the wind, and he tasted it with his tongue, it was quite salty.
After coming out of Xiao Nian's belly, he lay on the fisherman's small fishing boat, either bored watching the fisherman paddle, or watching the forest waves flashing on both sides.
Although the Chishui River has a speed of thousands of miles, it is still a long way to reach Lancang Daze.
As night approached, the small fishing boats began to drift down the river, and the fishermen began to prepare for tonight's meal.
The fisherman walked to the side of the boat and pulled it up and put down the fish cage in the river early in the morning, and stuffed a lot of bait in it in the morning, so now the fisherman lifted it up and made a heavy catch.
The fisherman opened the cage and poured it into the hold, and dozens of brown-shelled water snails fell from the cage.
"This is a mud dragon snail that is unique to the Chishui River, which can change color with the surrounding scene and avoid enemies at the bottom of the river." The fisherman held the mud dragon snail in his hand and said to Chi Chao.
At first glance, the snail looks like an inconspicuous pebble, but when it rests in the palm of a fisherman's hand, it gradually turns the color of flesh and skin.
"Taste it." The fisherman handed Chi Zhu a sharpened chopstick.
"Eat it raw?" Chi Chao asked in surprise
"Of course, that's the natural tasting." The fisherman went into the houseboat again to look for something.
Chi Chao is also a person who has eaten oysters, so I think the taste of the two should be similar.
So Chi Chao picked up a mud dragon snail, pried open the snail cover with chopsticks, and inserted it one by one, and a snail the size of a lychee appeared.
The smooth appearance is very much like a pearl, but it is whiter than a pearl, and it is more ivory than it.
Chi Chao swallowed it in one gulp, biting his teeth, the juice leaked out, and his mouth was full of fresh and sweet taste, and there was nothing to exceed.
The taste is tender and smooth, sliding down the throat and into the esophagus, which is cool and delicious, and extremely refreshing.
The fisherman also came out of the tent with a small saucer.
Inside the small dish is a brown sauce with a faint fragrance.
Before Chi Chao saw it, he could already smell it, and it was very fresh. Is it soy sauce?
Chi Chao turned to the fisherman and asked, "Old man, what are you taking?" ”
The fisherman smiled: "This is the juice I fermented with thousands of small fish, it is very delicious, and the snail meat is even fresher when dipped and eaten." ”
"Do you have a name?" Chi Chao knew that it was fish sauce.
"Fish sauce because it's made with fish."
"Why don't you call it fish sauce, it's as precious as the dew on the tip of the grass in the morning, and it takes thousands of fish to get it?" Chi Chao Dao.
"Fish sauce? Good! Good name! It's called fish sauce. The fishermen were delighted.
After eating the snail meat, Chi Chao's stomach still screamed, and the fisherman walked to the bow of the small fishing boat and sat down cross-legged.
Suddenly, a purple bamboo fishing rod appeared in his hand, and with a light flick, the fishing line fell to the edge of a water grass bush on the shore.
Chi Chao walked up to the fisherman and sat down, and said strangely: "Old man, can there be fish in such a rushing river?" ”
"When the water is clear, there are no fish." The fisherman replied.
Chi Chao almost said 'If you are cheap, you are invincible'.
"The more turbid the water, the more fish there are, and the better the quality." The fisherman said, "Let's make you a dish of Xiguo's delicacies: fish belly." ”
"Fish belly? What kind of fish is used? ”
"To make fish tart, catfish is preferred. The meat of the catfish is delicate, snow-white and fat, and there are no fine spines. In the past, there was a 'golden lime jade skin' at the Xiguo State State banquet, with catfish slices and sour and cool golden lime filaments, the color and flavor are all complete, and it is really evocative. ”
"Oh? So where is the best catfish in the waters? Chi Yan asked.
"Among the catfish, the golden catfish of the Chishui River, the nine-whiskered green catfish in the Ping Lake of Xiguo, the yellow-horned catfish of Daze Guitan and the red-tailed catfish in the water of Guiguo Qianshui are the best, among which the yellow-horned catfish has the best taste. If you've tasted it once, I'm afraid it's hard to let go of the taste. ”
Chi Chao was surprised, can sashimi really be so delicious?
"I don't believe it."
The fisherman laughed but did not answer, and after a while, the line suddenly trembled and suddenly straightened.
The fisherman shouted, "Hooked! ”
"Whoa!" With a bang, the water splashed.
A fat catfish with golden gland jumped out of the water, more than three feet long. Shaking his head and tail, bouncing and struggling.
The fisherman pulled up the rod and caught the catfish's flaps, and with his other hand, he broke the bone spurs that could hurt the fish.
"You take care of it." The fisherman threw the goldfish to Chi Chao, and then went into the house to get wine.
Chi Chao started, it was extremely slippery, and he couldn't get his hands on it. Thinking of the previous fisherman's practice, he also took the cheek flap and tidied it up.
Scrape off the mucus on the body surface, cut open the fish belly, clean the fish body, and remove the meat into a ...... Chi Chao's slender fingers seem to be cut and crossed, like a knife cut. When it is chaotic, it is like a bee picking ten thousand stamen, and when it is simple, it is like a large brushstroke, and it is a wonderful art to kill fish.
The fisherman took a look and found that Chi Chao's comprehension of the knife technique was already extraordinary.
"How long have you been learning to knife?" The fisherman asked casually.
"Three years."
"Three years?" The fisherman's face was different, only looking at Chi Chao's skillful and smooth posture, there was no more than ten years of penance to achieve, and he saw a trace of the style of a great master in Chi Chao's knife technique.
"Playing with a knife is so powerful, it's not so much that you are the descendant of the sword god of Gui Kingdom, but that you are the secret disciple of Haixi Pavilion, an unknown place in Xi Kingdom."
Chi Chao smiled bitterly: "Before, the tendons of my right hand were broken, and I said that I would learn the knife without practicing swords in this life, but I didn't expect that the sword skills would be successful, I'm afraid I have an innate talent for swordsmanship." But compared to most of the sword cultivators in the Xi Kingdom, my sword technique is nothing. ”
The fisherman felt that Chi Chao was still humble, the genius Tianjiao he had seen in the past was like a carp crossing the river, but no one had such an amazing talent for cultivation as Chi Chao.
"By the way, Xiao Nian is also a catfish, should we also cut a piece of its meat to make a fish belly to taste." Chi Chao looked at the bottom of the water and drooled.
"Ouch." The fisherman directly gave Chi Chao a violent shudder.
"Don't try to beat me up for a while! Eat fish belly! The fisherman used chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish that was as thin as a cicada's wings and as white as frost and snow, dipped it in the fish sauce, and ate it.
Chi Chao also eats the fish with chopsticks, the sashimi is delicate and smooth, melts in the mouth, and a wisp of fresh and sweet taste lingers on Chi Chao's tongue and teeth, which lasts for a long time.
The two of them chatted casually while watching the dripping rain outside the tent.
The sky was dark, the clouds were heavy, the rain was on the river, and it was June, when the warm wind blew and the river drifted out of a misty white mist.
"The mist fills the river, and the golden catfish plays in the red water." The fishermen looked at the smoke and rain from afar, and chanted for a long time.
"The journey is rainy, and the two of them are drunk." The pool interface answers.
The two looked at each other and smiled, meaning far-reaching.
"Young man, I ask you an important question, eternal life or freedom, which one will you choose?" Slightly drunk, the fisherman suddenly asked.
Chi Chao didn't know why the fisherman would ask such a question, but he thought for a while and made his choice.
"When I was young, I wanted to be free; When I get old, I want to live forever. ”
What an interesting reply. It's good, it's good, it's good. The fisherman smiled, "I hope you will reply to her the same way when you meet her."
"Why did the seniors say that? Who is that "she"? When Chi Chao asked again, the fisherman was already drunk and spitting out.
She? It? He? Who the hell is it? Chi Chao fell into an endless reverie, and fell asleep thinking about it, leaving only the sound of splashes stirred up by the river.
In the early morning of the second day, the fishermen got up early and set sail. Swinging the oars and continuing to sail towards Lancang Daze.
Facing the sunrise, the fishing songs continue, the apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed the ten thousand mountains.
The small fishing boat sailed for several days, and finally entered the tributary from the main stream of the Chishui River, and the small fishing boat became fast and shaky, like wearing flowers and trees, twisting and sliding smartly.
The sky quickly darkened again, and the shadows of the mountains and forests on all sides flashed, flashing a thick yellow line, which was the setting sun.
As the small fishing boat sailed through the foot of a mountain and through the dense forest, the fisherman suddenly knocked down a few wild fruits from the branches with a flick of the long pole of the boat.
"Let's eat a fruit to top your stomach." The fisherman said, change the taste tonight.
Chi Chao picked up the wild fruit, this fruit is as big as a green pear, white as clear snow, after breaking the skin, revealing the flesh inside that is red like blood, and the hand feels as soft and smooth as a tongue.
Chi Chao took a bite of the sweet flesh, ate it fragrantly, overflowed in his mouth, and his lungs seemed to be washed from the inside out, which was very comfortable!
Chi Chao also wonderfully found that he had a little more on his body.
A transparent sapling grew out of the originally lifeless golden soul sea, adding a touch of vitality.
"Is it ......" Σ(っ°Д°; "This is the strange fruit flesh and blood Bodhi of the Lizhou Continent?" Chi Chao was amazed.
Flesh and blood Bodhi is a 50 years of flowering, 50 years of fruiting of Lizhou relics, after taking the effect of reshaping the body, if the body is disabled, flesh and blood Bodhi can make up for the deficiency. Let people grow limbs that were once lost.
There was once a flesh and blood Bodhi flowing out of the black market in Daze, Lancang, which caused a scramble among all forces, and was finally bought by the monarch of the wasteland with a lot of money. So far, it is hidden in the secret vault of the wasteland.
"It's a wild fruit, don't make a fuss. You have a good chance, you will eat what you should eat. The fisherman said that flesh and blood Bodhi was worthless in his eyes.
"Hmm..." Chi Chao couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of filth, which was extremely stinky.
"Cutting the hair and washing the marrow!" Chi Chao couldn't help but exclaim.
It is not strange for the fishermen to shout at Chi Chao, and the exotic flowers and fruits on the mainland are mostly in places that no one often visits, and it is normal for them to encounter them on this trip.
The small fishing boat went all the way to the direction of Lancang Daze, flying day and night.
Fishermen sometimes catch a ghost prawn covered with thorns; Sometimes a few eggs are pulled out of a bird's nest in a tree by the river; Sometimes a floating straw pole is picked up on the surface of the water...... Eating is dumbfounded, and the drowsiness is completely gone.
In just a few days, Chi Chao has experienced nine times of hair cutting and marrow washing, each time it is like another interval in the interval, and the role of the next interval is much greater than the previous interval.
Among the cultivators of the same generation, his physique is unsurpassed.
Next month, one week will be updated!
