Lu Yi looked at her with a smile, listening to Her Royal Highness the princess talk about the place she had just passed, and what fish-

Lu Yi interjected: "Actually, I also think that those fish are too fat, and many of them have been here for decades......"

"Decades?" Liu Yan was stunned: "There are such big fish? No, no, I mean, how long does this fish live? ”

She thought that fish would have a lifespan of about three or five years, but of course, most fish would not even live for three or five years, so they were caught in a net and made into a meal.

"Yes, as long as this fish is well raised, sometimes it will live longer than a human."

"The fish in this garden are ...... So big? ”

"When the garden was built, these fish were brought from other places, and by that time some of them were already quite small, and some were more than two feet long. And then over the years, the garden changed owners two or three times...... These fish have never been replaced. ”

Liu Yan smiled.

I don't know why I think it's a bit ironic.

The garden keeps changing owners, but the fish always live here.

Fish are older than humans. If the fish could talk, they might think they were the real masters, and that the constant comings and goings were just passers-by in the garden.

"If you don't like the fish to be too big, you can give it away, I know there are people who like this kind of fish very much, the bigger the better."

"Well, no." Liu Yan thought for a while: "They have lived here for so long, and they are very used to it, so let them continue to live." ”

Lu Yi smiled.

He noticed that Liu Yan used to live, not raise.

Most people would say raising.

Raise fish, birds, cats and dogs......

The word she used is worth thinking about.

As if he suddenly remembered, Lu Yi took out a boxy box, which was still wrapped in a cloth cloth on the outside.

"This is brought back from Dingbei, it's not worth much, the main thing is to keep it if you like it, and reward people if you don't like it."

"What is it?" Liu Yan stretched out his hand and took it.

The handkerchief is still warm on it, so it should be a close-fitting body.

Is it something valuable?

Liu Yan is now particularly sensitive to the word "gift", and the gift from the eldest sister is too heavy. It makes her want to shiver a little when she hears "give" and "gift" now.

She didn't have to guess her thoughts, it was all written on her face.

Lu Yi said with a smile: "It's really not expensive, and I can't afford it." I didn't buy this one, but someone else thanked me for solving the trouble for him and gave it to me. ”

The small box wrapped in the cloth was quite heavy.

Take the bupa and open the box again.

Inside is a piece of paperweight.

Looking at it is not gold or jade, it is not stone, it should be wood, and there is a texture on it.

But the wood is heavy enough.

There is no shortage of paperweights Liu Yan, she has all kinds of paperweights there, large and small, I am afraid that a box will not fit it, and any one of them is worth more than this.

Before opening the box, Liu Yan was worried that this was another expensive object, but now that she was finally sure that it was not, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good, then I'll take it." However: "This is specially given to you by others, no matter how expensive things are, it is always his heart, so you gave it to me......"

It doesn't seem like a good fit.

Lu Yi smiled: "No matter what it is, the most important thing is to make the best use of it, if you talk about your heart, could it be that someone else gave me two flatbreads before, and I didn't eat them but offered them?" Or, if someone gives me a pair of boots, they don't fit the size, and I can't bear the pain and have to squeeze my feet into those boots. ”

Liu Yan felt that his reasoning was a bit crooked—but it made sense.

If it is said that the things sent by others must be treated well, she can't do it first. Because there are so many things she has received, it seems that she can always receive all kinds of gifts throughout the year, regardless of the New Year's Festival, some of which she still has time to take a look at, and more she has not even looked at.

"Alas, giving it to me is not a good use, and I am not a person who is dedicated to learning." Liu Yan turned over the piece of wood and found that there were still words on the back, but the handwriting was very shallow, and it was really unclear.

She didn't dwell on what it was.

"Is there anything new in Dingbei City?"

Liu Yan is interested in this.

You must know that the number of times she has left the palace is not much, and the opportunities to go out of the city are even rarer. In the past few years, she has only been out of the city a handful of times, and Dingbei City is also a very lively place, with a lot of people, and merchants from the south to the north will also pass through there.

But she had never been there, and she didn't know what Dingbei City was like.

"Naturally, there are new things. On the day I arrived in Dingbei, someone put on an opening competition at the largest restaurant in Dingbei City......"

"Ouch, doesn't the government care?"

"It's not a martial arts competition, it's a wine fight."

Liu Yan was interested: "Fighting wine? How to fight? Do you drink more than anyone? ”

"Naturally, there should be a lot of alcohol, but if you drink too much, it won't be a fight. On both sides of the bucket are the descendants of the brewery who have been making wine for generations, and it is said that their ancestors have been doing this business for hundreds of years. On the other side is a newly opened restaurant, and it is said that they have a booklet that contains many secret recipes for sake brewing that have been lost...... The two sides made an appointment to fight there, and invited many famous people in the city to testify. The competition is divided into three games, one is to see who knows the name of the wine, and the other is to taste, dozens of jars of wine are different, let them smell it, lick it, and tell the ins and outs of the wine. The third is brewing, and each of the two families takes out five jars of wine to invite others to taste to see whose wine is better. ”

"Ah, there are still such a fight." Liu Yan listened very fascinated, and wished that he could be there to see the excitement in person: "Then have you seen how they fight?" ”

Lu Yi smiled and nodded: "When I arrived, it was already the second game." ”

"Can they really taste it?"

Liu Yan is not good at wine. Different wines are put in front of her, and she can only divide them into categories, soju and rice wine are naturally different, and fruit wine and rice wine are also easy to identify. But if the same kind of wine was placed in front of her, she would not be able to tell the difference. Anyway, it's all wine, and it doesn't smell much different when it looks at it.

"Can they all tell?"

"Most of them can be distinguished, the wine, the vintage, the raw materials, and even which winery makes it, you can guess eight or nine without leaving ten."

"That's amazing." Liu Yan nodded: "This is called a specialization in the art industry, right?" ”

"That's right."

"And who wins in the end?"

"Well, it's kind of a win." Lu Yi said: "In the end, the people who fought were quite sober, but the people who invited them to do the evaluation were almost drunk, everyone said that A is good or B, anyway, they are all peers and talents, and they will do business in a city in the future, and they will not see those who look up and look down, so it is better to shake hands and make peace." ”
