Chapter 066: Foodies and Gods

The population of the small fishing village by the lake is actually not large, with a total of about 90 people from 18 families.

When Lu Bai and his party arrived, the men in the fishing village were building a firewood pile by the lake, while the women were busy carrying the dried fish to the firewood pile.

Only the children, running around the adults without worry, shouting and screaming.

It looks like it's preparing for a bonfire.

"Is it a holiday today?"

Lu Bai was slightly curious.

"Who knows. Drake consciously spread his hands for the first time: "There are at least 10,000 true gods in this world, and the number of false gods is more than that of true gods, and each god has its own exclusive celebration festival, who can remember it?"

"Just ask them no. ”

Amanda pouts at the fishermen who are busy with their work.

"Makes sense!"

Drake went immediately, and Lu Bai followed.

Fishermen who noticed that someone was coming, and were busy preparing for the bonfire party, looked at it one after another with a vague vigilance in their eyes.

But probably because none of the four people had weapons, and there were two cute Lori, the fishermen didn't raise their arms and shouted, and put on a fighting posture of jackals with shotguns.

"What are you doing here? Are you going to sacrifice to some great divine crown?"

Drake asked directly, he didn't care what the fishermen looked at him.

"A few nobles, tonight is the birthday of the fish god, we are preparing the sacrifice for the fish god's birthday, if you are interested, please join us to offer sacrifices to the fish god, okay?"

A gray-bearded man who almost wrote on the door of his head that I was an old fisherman carrying the handle in the village stepped forward to welcome Lu Bai and the four on behalf of the fishermen.

Fish God?

That's right, the gods that fishermen worship should indeed be either fishing or the fish themselves.

"If you don't have a follower of the fish god, you can also participate in the fish god's birthday festival?"

Amanda asked.

"Yes! Of course! The fish god who protects us is not a cruel and ferocious being, he doesn't even care if we believe in him or not! He just needs us to serve him a sufficient number of grilled fish on his birthday, and then he will protect us fishermen for the whole year, so that we will not be attacked by the evil beasts and fierce fish in the water when we fish!"

The old fisherman's belief in his fish god seems to be quite high.

Don't care about faith?

It's kind of interesting, could it be that this fish god is actually an elemental god?

According to Lu Bai's known information, this other world seems to be that the elemental gods don't care about faith, and the source of their power comes from the elements themselves, not the power of mortal faith.

Well, it's definitely the elemental god who didn't run away!

"If someone offered me fried chicken drumsticks every day, and offered a lot of fried chicken drumsticks that were enough for me to eat, I would definitely protect him!"

The little fox girl suddenly muttered.

Belch?!

Not to mention, this idea seems to be valid!

Who says God can't be a foodie?

Interesting......

Lu Bai's interest in the upcoming Fish God Festival became stronger.

So after some inquiry, Lu Bai quickly understood the process of the Fish God's Birthday Festival-

After dark, the bonfire will be lit, and the bonfire will be burned to the most prosperous time, the whole fishing village will be men, women and children together to grill fish, the grilled fish will be thrown into the lake water in an endless stream, the fish god will send a black fish messenger to take away the grilled fish tribute, when the fish god feels that it is enough, the black fish messenger will leave.

According to the old experience, 500 large grilled fish are offered at each festival, and you can almost satisfy the fish god.

"After the sacrifice, will this fish god really bless you?"

Lu Bai was more curious about this.

"Of course!"

The old fisherman's answer was categorical.

It's kind of interesting.

Anyway, it's idle tonight, so let's have fun together, but it seems that we should fill our stomachs before that.

While confirming his acceptance of the invitation, Lu Bai also made a request to the old fisherman to buy some fresh fish by the way.

The old fisherman asked people to bring four arms-long fresh fish, but he did not accept the fish sales money handed to him by Lu Bai.

"It's just a few worthless fish, even if you take them to eat!"

The old fisherman resolutely refused to take the money.

However, the old fisherman also made a request, that is, he should not cook fish by the lake, because the old fisherman was not sure if he would anger the fish god by doing so.

This request was very reasonable, and Lu Bai accepted it.

The old fisherman was also very considerate, and he had the wood burned at the leeward of the back of the fishing village, far from the lake, to prepare enough wood to char all four fish.

If you are thirsty from grilled fish, there is a clear and sweet stream next to the firewood.

If you are thirsty, even if you let go of your belly and drink it on your stomach, as for whether drinking raw water will make your stomach upset, it is completely the system...... Well, it's a physical problem.

However, for Lu Bai, the first thing that the stream needs to play is to clean the ingredients.

The little fox girl was busy washing the fish again, while Lu Bai took out the spices and refined salt she carried with her, and did what a part-time chef should do.

When it comes to barbecue, ingredients and spices are equally important.

It's a pity that the time is too hasty, otherwise it will be better to marinate the spices for an hour to put the flavor in, and the taste will be better when baked.

But even in a hurry, when the fire burned enough charcoal, and Lu Bai put the plastered fish on the rack, the aroma of charcoal-grilled cumin quickly spread.

The diffuse aroma made everyone pay attention to the grilled fish that was constantly turned by Lu Bai.

"Why is your grilled fish so fragrant?"

Someone suddenly asked, and his voice was very dull and slurred, as if he had toffee in his mouth.

Lu Bai turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw a bald boy in black clothes by the light of the fire, and the boy was staring at the grilled fish on the charcoal fire with his eyes intended, looking like saliva would flow down at any time.

The boy looked to be twelve or thirteen years old at most, with broad shoulders and a strong back, and a face a bit like Schwarzenegger, but his eyes were clear and simple.

Is it a child from a fishing village who accidentally smelled my grilled fish, so he was attracted to it?

It seems that my cooking skills are becoming more and more masterful!

Lu Bai's heart is very beautiful.

"My grilled fish is fragrant because it uses the secret spices I blended, so I'll give you a try!"

Lu Bai handed over a grilled fish.

The visitor is a guest, and he is still a half-grown child, and he is the age when he is greedy and grows his body.

"Thank you......!

The bald boy thanked him very happily, and then took the grilled fish and couldn't wait to bite it, but he was immediately screamed at the heat.

"It's hot, it's hot...... But really tasty......"

But even though he was grinning his teeth hotly, the bald boy did not give up the grilled fish at all, but devoured it more and more.

In a minute at most, a large grilled fish with a long arm was left with only a mutilated skeleton.

"Can you give me another one?"

The bald boy who had lost the fish skeleton looked at the remaining grilled fish again.

"It's been a long, long time since I've eaten anything so good. ”

Said the bald boy.

"No, no, I won't have anything to eat if you eat again, and I haven't eaten anything delicious for a long time, it's been seven days!"

The little fox girl was the first to refuse.

"I ...... Three hundred and sixty-four years and seven days. ”

The bald boy replied seriously.
