Sycamore Fall Chapter 66. The direction is wide
The clear white river flows eastward, humming a wordless tune, he happily rides his bicycle all the way, and finally arrives at this weir water town, the taste of white fish is delicious and fragrant, which has made him a little haunted by dreams.
People live a lifetime, since the time to be happy, if there is a surplus, will chase the desire for profit in the heart, this weir water white fish is the rare delicacy he chases, he decided to go to the vicinity to inquire about the white fish, to see the creation of the elf.
Natural selection and survival of the fittest, human beings in the wilderness are united, so that they can survive tenaciously among many species and evolve into the masters of social classes. In the process of self-sublimation, he discovered human nature, created rules and continuously improved them, and also went from drinking blood to selectively selecting ingredients, and inventing countless cooking methods.
He was no more comfortable than the hypocrisy of his own heart, and within the limits of what was permissible, he was naturally glad of good food, and did not ignore the preciousness of life, so he went along the water, and saw several ferries returning from the river.
"Uncle, are you going to catch white fish? How did you get away from this trip? He asked in a respectful tone.
"Oh, no, there are more than white fish in this weir water, there are many polycultured fish, if you want to eat this white fish, you have to depend on luck, you are here to travel in the weir water, good luck today, grab two, just to entertain you, let's go to my restaurant, you can be regarded as coming!"
The uncle parked the fishing boat, carried a large iron bucket from it, and handed it to him, only to see that the white fish was like snow, with red spots, and the blood was all over the body, and it was spitting tiny bubbles, and stayed quietly in the bucket, and he asked puzzledly: "Uncle, is this white fish sick, it doesn't move in this bucket, and it looks like the mutant goldfish, but it's not, is there any explanation?" ”
"This white fish is only found in our weir area, and it cannot be seen in other rivers. This white fish is also called the white dragon, the legend is that the dragon king of the weir water was rescued because of the catastrophe, so as to fall in love with the woman in the mortal world, and want to live with immortality, pull out the dragon scales on the body to prolong his life, and then was detected by the gods, forever turned into a fish as punishment, the red spots on the fish body are the blood and tears that the woman shed when she saw the white dragon's real body, and the burn can not be complete. ”
"The white dragon into the river is like practice, very people can catch, I am also stained with the light of the ancestors, know some of the habits of the white dragon to catch some, legend, this fish is used to staying in the woman's water tank, feel at ease, and are too lazy to move, but the health is very, there is no disease at all, the white dragon king is blood-red, only the eyes are black, I still have a painting dedicated to the white dragon king at home!"
"Then uncle, why do others say that the white dragon is very lively, not like in this bucket?" He asked, still puzzled.
"Hey, in order to make money, it's just to get rich by playing famous, I just open this restaurant, I want to live this life safely, the fish they raise are different from my wild ones, they put cages in the river to raise, they have long been fed and changed their habits, this white dragon only appears in pairs when they are mated, and they have always been alone, the meat quality is naturally not as strong as my wild one, but it is still much better than other fish, and the value of my fish is not comparable to them!" The uncle said proudly.
"I'm lucky to say that, but I don't have much money in my pocket, so I can't afford this!" He was a little disappointed, and suddenly felt that he had been fooled into being a fat sheep.
"Hey, why can't you afford to eat, meeting is fate! I see that you are also a college student, it is better to tutor my children in their homework, it will be regarded as a reward, and there is no need to pay, so you can rest assured, I am not an unscrupulous profiteer, but my ancestors have lived in this weir water, but I can't ruin my reputation, otherwise I won't have the face to meet my ancestors! ”
"I'm sorry, uncle, I thought about it, is your child in junior high school or high school?" He asked.
"It's still early, it's just a primary school student, I'm greedy for fun all day long, I don't want to study, I'm worried, although I can still live by inheriting my restaurant in the future, but I have to complete this compulsory education first, it's enough to have me as a cook at home, and her mother is still virtuous......"
The restaurant is simple, all the organs are complete, but there are not many guests, all because of the low price in front of the door, cooking white soup, the aroma is steaming, lingering in a room, that really lives up to the name of the white dragon!
The wandering tourists in front of the door smelled this strange fragrance, so they knocked on the bamboo door with an embarrassed face and asked, "Is the boss at home, what is this, why is it so fragrant, can we come in?" ”
"Uncle, your business is here!" He laughed.
"Well, it's coming, it's coming! Welcome, what do you want to order! The uncle asked.
"We just want to eat the dish on your table, it's so fragrant, I have eaten countless white fish, not so fragrant, this year I specially brought relatives and friends to travel, boss, see if you can make another one for us, I know this must be a wild white dragon, the price is negotiable!" The guest put on a swaggering face.
"Well, guest, there is only one white dragon, it's all in this pot, but it hasn't moved yet, if you don't dislike it, let's make a table, we're also having lunch!" Uncle greeted warmly.
"Boss, how embarrassing is that, but since you have said so, if I don't come, won't I look down on you, Mengmeng, Xiaohua, come in!" The guest stuffed a large amount of red money into his uncle's pocket and whispered: "Don't refuse, the best white dragon is worth this price, and you can't suffer a loss!" ”
Seeing that the guest was stubborn, the uncle accepted the expensive money with a gesture in his eyes, and the aunt brought out a few dishes from the kitchen, so the host and guest, who had never known each other, feasted together at this square table.
"Boss, your dish tastes so good, why set such a low price, in this scenic spot can be regarded as a wonder, now most of these people who come to travel are not short of money, your price is not good, business is not good, I see, doubling is not a problem!" The guest said.
"Yes, uncle, I have never eaten such a delicious fish, the rivers, lakes and seas are not as fresh as this fish, it really melts in the mouth!" Mengmeng exclaimed, and Xiaohua followed suit.
"Hey, I have to abide by the rules set by my ancestors. Besides, this money is enough, the guests are uninvited, and I don't need to make a fuss, knowing that a good one will naturally become a repeat customer. Cooking can't hurt the taste, what do you do if the price is so high, it's better to have steamed buns to fill your stomach. It is said that cooking is not easy, my ancestors have been cooks for hundreds of years, and they have long looked down on fame and fortune, as long as someone appreciates my food, as long as someone comes here, it can be ......"
The uncle's son only stared at Mengmeng and Xiaohua opposite, and seemed to be very interested in the two of them of the same age, but the innocent gaze was easy to ignore, and he was originally extremely noisy at the dinner table, but at the moment he was also listening carefully to the conversation between his father and another uncle, and the look of wanting to think made him a half-day lecturer a little relieved.
After the wine was exhausted, he read the words and read the chapters, and after completing the teaching task, he had to say goodbye to this enthusiastic and indifferent uncle, who carried the white dragon given to him by his uncle and the special food, and pedaled his bicycle with joy in the direction of the school.
This day's freedom is really pleasant, without Mu Yun's bother, and without the agreement with others, he finally felt the joy he had, it was the satisfaction of doing what he wanted, the sound of the car's whistle in his ears, urging him to go back to school, this uphill journey is more time-consuming than when he came.
"Brother, where are you going! I called you for a long time and didn't answer the phone, did you go out to fool around again, I went to the stadium to find you, and I also went to the broadcast department to ask, where are you now? Mu Yun was like a fried cat, frantically forcing him to reply, as if he could reach over and scratch people with one paw through the phone.
"Yun'er, brother went to Yanshui Town to play, I didn't fool around, I didn't answer your phone on purpose, I was on my way back to school, if you have anything to do with me, tell me quickly, I also expect it!" He explained.
"It's not like I'm looking for you this time, I got the letter, I've opened it and read it, Sister Su Yuan, she wants to come to find you in person, you don't have to go to the mountain city, this time through the sports meeting, we can have a good time!" Mu Yun said with a smile, "Oh, and ah, Sister Xueya wants you to rush a beautiful manuscript for her, which is about the propaganda of Yanshui Town, which happens to be where you have been, so you don't need to take any more materials!" Come back soon, I've prepared a lot of delicious food, go to the back garden to open the celebration, your article has won another award! ”
"Okay, I'll be back soon, you tell Sister Xueya, I will deliver it to her within today, if you are not satisfied, mention it, I will change it, that's it, my phone is about to run out of battery, you just wait for me at the door of the dormitory, bye!"
"Bye-bye!"
Hanging up the phone, he began to think about the Yanshui Town that he had walked through, although he didn't see the whole picture, but there was the story of the white dragon, which was enough to support the article and show the poignant legend to outsiders.
He was looking forward to the arrival of Su Kite, he had been separated for nearly two years, he missed Su Kite very much, although the words in the letter were warm, but after all, it was not as good as a living person in front of him, and he had already thought of how to ask the counselor for leave.
As a member of the editing team of the Broadcasting Department and a member of the Jianzhu Poetry Society, he can use the reason of collecting wind to put forward a normal and unrefusable request for leave.
With such a happy mood, he finally finished his ride and returned to the dormitory again, "Brother Ning, where did you get the goldfish, it's so white that you can almost see the bones, what kind of breed?" Roommate Li Kai asked.
"Brother Kai, this is the white dragon, the one over there in Yanshui Town, it's not a goldfish, it's not expensive, if you like it, go raise one, this fish is quiet, it's not noisy, it's not expensive!" He lifted the vat and smiled.
"Hey, I don't raise fish, I just look strange, I didn't expect you, a person who only knows how to write for a day, still have this hobby, a little curious, by the way, our entertainment department is going to socialize with the etiquette department at night, do you want to come and participate, I heard that there are a lot of good-looking girls!" Li Kai showed a wicked smile that all men understand, and suggested.
"I won't go to participate, after all, I'm from the broadcasting department, I don't have a name, it's too much to be a crowd of onlookers, it's better to stay in the dormitory!"
"Okay, it seems that you can't find a girlfriend, your sister has controlled you too strictly, I can see that she is interesting to you, or you think about her, I rely on Mu Yun This girl is also very good!"
"I know, but I already have someone in my heart, I will come to Nanping the day after tomorrow, if you want to meet, I can recognize you, don't help my sister speak, I know that you were bought by Liu Xuan, according to this situation, you are probably the first to get out of our bedroom, I, I don't have to worry about you, you still have to report!"
"I said Brother Ning, if you don't demolish me, we're still good friends, forget it, since you're so stubborn, then I can't persuade you, by the way, do you want to change bedrooms with me? It's not that I said it, I really can't stand the other four people! ”
"You say they communicate well, just communicate well, and they say things we don't understand at every turn, who is to blame for their own troubles! I'm really worried that something will happen if I live like this, but my counselor's notice hasn't come down yet, are you going to move to apartment four with me? It's quieter and great for your writing! ”
"Brother Kai, I know what you mean, I also told the counselor, there will be results next week, after all, this dormitory has to take care of face, it is not easy to operate, but the hope is great, I only have one friend of you at the moment, I can't bear to be alone, right!"
"Yes, it's right for you to think so, good friends are too rare, why don't you teach me to write articles, I'll go to the website to try the water, pickling girls is a versatile thing, I worship you as a teacher, you can't hide your secrets!"
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, you better go out first, I know you have something to do, go ahead!"
"Come on, then I'll go, you pay attention to safety in the dormitory!"
Smile a little, and move the pen knife again, splendid articles and pens, in the end still have to rely on the accumulation of materials, manpower is poor, imaginary things can not be more specific than the eyes, looking at the narcissus and white dragon by the window, he smiled lightly, rubbing the paper with the depth of the cuts.
Mu Yun is rehearsing the dance, for the performance of the opening ceremony of the Games, she is so beautiful, she is a card-like character, these days, she has really worked hard!
The so-called celebration party at night must have been a prank in Mu Yun's plan, she always likes to play tricks on herself, chuckles, and sighs that the soldiers will cover up the water.
The best time came early, and it was not bad to say that his heart was blooming, but he was in a wide space, which was really his mood now.
