Chapter 14: The Banquet

Li Shiyi smiled and looked at the three of them who were speechless with excitement, so he continued

"Originally, I wasn't sure if it was spiritual power, but judging by the expressions on your faces, it was correct. Then this meat becomes even more precious. However, although we eat very little, but after careful analysis, you should be able to judge that even if you eat this thing with scales, one hundred and eighty of them, it may not be able to achieve the spiritual power that breaks through any of the qi veins in the body, of course, except for Captain Tiger, who has reached the full qi vein, you can luck Zhou Tian reserve spiritual power. Because the spiritual power contained in a single person is too low, the absorbed spiritual power cannot be retained in the body at all. And according to the booklet, the rest of us don't have the ability to store spiritual power. Maybe we'll be able to do that when we all reach the level of Captain Tiger, but I want you to forget about it for a while, and even lead people to think that it's just a food that has a physical strengthening effect. In my experience, if this fish contains spiritual powers, once everyone knows about it, there will be many people who will not be able to eat this food.

In addition, please keep my current body changes secret. After all, we don't know the details of the strength of the other side, so there is no need to cause unnecessary trouble. ”

"Mr. Eleven is right, and even I can't reserve spiritual power. That little bit of spiritual power just now couldn't even support me for more than a tenth of the week, and it dissipated, but it did have a nourishing effect on the qi veins. However, due to the limitations of its own surrounding environment, the dissipation of spiritual power is too rapid, and I estimate that I will have to eat at least hundreds of plates at a time and cultivate immediately to run for a week, and it is absolutely impossible to use it to break through the qi veins that were originally bypassed. Although the tiger head fish is useful, it is currently the most correct way to use it only as food. Captain Tiger said as he pondered.

"If only there were people who knew how to do alchemy, it would be nice to gather the energy and take it at one time should be able to greatly improve the effect of cultivation." The lord of the city said in passing.

"At present, we just know that this fish contains a small amount of spiritual power, and other things will be talked about when we have the opportunity later, and now it is just food." The Great Elder put a stop to the topic.

At this time, Captain Tiger interjected: "Sister Akiba did not elaborate on the specific changes in Mr. Eleven's current body before, but only mentioned that your body seems to have suddenly recovered a lot today except for its appearance, and the strangest thing is that you can catch this powerful tiger head fish with your bare hands, and it seems that the tiger head fish cannot bite Mr. Eleven." ”

"Actually, it's not just that, I'm now the most superficial, and I found it in an inadvertent fall into the river a few days ago. The main thing is that now I can clearly feel that all aspects of my body functions and senses are improving rapidly. Even before I read the booklet, I learned to guide my body to open up the Qi pulses. Although there are very few of them at present, it seems that it is not difficult to open them all. Recently, I will try to study the contents of these two booklets, and if I have achieved something, I will let you know. ”

At this moment, the eldest elder's third son, seven-year-old Li Donghao, suddenly appeared at the door and did not dare to come in. The Great Elder asked reproachfully

"Hao'er, didn't you say that you can't come to disturb your father's deliberations? What's going on? Halfway through the words, he gradually showed a doting look. It may be that this little guy is usually too well-behaved, and no one can bear to blame him.

"The second stupid brother is here, saying that he is looking for Mr. Eleven." Li Donghao responded timidly

Li Shiyi didn't expect it to be so soon, he originally thought that he wouldn't come to him today, but since he came, it should be good news.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Donghao, who had the consent of the Great Elder, ran out, he saw Li Ersilly jumping into the courtyard with two large baskets of things.

As soon as he arrived at the hall and put down the basket, before Li Ersil finished greeting him one by one, everyone seemed to remember something, and directly surrounded him and tore off the sackcloth covering the basket. I was so shocked that I couldn't close my mouth. And Li Erdu, looking at everyone's shocked appearance, was so happy that he was really like a second fool now, wiping his sweat and smirking beside him.

The city lord bowed to Li Shiyi excitedly, and Li Shiyi hurriedly went to help, only to find that the Great Elder, the Law Enforcement Lord, and the Tiger Captain also bowed down to Li Shiyi and hugged their fists. Helplessly, Li Shiyi had to help him up one by one, and then said honestly

"Actually, I'm not sure that I can restore the exchange ratio of a hundred years ago," he continued, looking at the puzzled eyes of everyone

"But I'm sure they'll agree in the end, maybe in a few days, or next month, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. Because I'm going to keep the fine iron and it's useful. Captain Tiger: Show me your saber," he said, reaching for it

Although Captain Tiger wondered what he was going to do, he took off his saber without hesitation and handed it over. Li Shiyi took it, took out the saber from the scabbard, and returned the scabbard. Looking at it carefully, it was the first time for Li Shiyi to get such a cold weapon in his hand, and his first feeling was that it was heavier than he imagined. The blade is more than half a meter long, and the handle is half a foot long, and there are actually more than 40 catties. The main thing is that this knife is almost the same as a knife used for chopping wood, it is simply an extended version of the machete, but this simple style is quite liked by Li Shiyi. However, the small potholes visible to the naked eye, and the small cracks looming on the knife edge, not to mention that the knife is actually a little uneven. Obviously, if this knife is brought to the previous world, I am afraid that antique dealers will not accept it, so they can only sell it by catty.

"What does Captain Tiger think of your knife?"

"It's very handy," Obviously, the tiger captain didn't understand what Li Shiyi wanted to ask.

"I mean quality," Li Shiyi said patiently

"Oh, it's okay. Our side is mainly iron-making, no matter what kind of knife, it's actually similar to a kitchen knife, and it's rare to use this thing in normal times. The gang on the other side has a special weapon shop, and the knives there will be much better than this. "What is Captain Tiger saying now, I feel that as long as I can help Mr. Eleven. Then he remembered something and said, "If this knife is useful to Mr. Eleven, take it." ”

"Then give me this knife, I'll give you a better one another day." Li Shiyi was also polite, and continued

"Do you think if you put this knife in the river and let the tiger fish bite it?"

"I don't know," Captain Tiger replied honestly, only that he had heard that the tiger head had an amazing bite and could bite anything, but it was okay for anyone to provoke that thing.

"Everyone, wait a moment, Aunt Tian and I will go to the backyard." With that, he walked briskly towards the backyard.

Fortunately, I came back early, and those tiger fish really lifted the wooden lid and ran out a lot. Fortunately, Aunt Mei went to do the laundry, otherwise it would be too much of a sin to hurt people. Li Shiyi hurriedly threw all the fish back into the tank, and Aunt Tian wanted to help, but Li Shiyi pushed her away and retreated further. Leaving a fish with the most energy, Li Shiyi moved the stone covering the wellhead and covered it on the water tank, and then told Aunt Tian to look at the water tank, not to let anyone approach, and to notify herself as soon as there was a situation. At this moment, Aunt Tian has seen Li Shiyi catch fish, especially just now there was a direct tail that jumped up and bit Li Shiyi's thigh, and she also swung her body with her life, normal people are afraid that the meat has been torn off. The current Aunt Tian didn't look like she had come back to her senses at all, and nodded stupidly. Li Shiyi found a small basin, put the fish in, protected it with one hand and prevented it from jumping out, and went to the hall.

When he arrived at the hall, Li Shiyi put the knife in one hand and the fish in the other, and put the back of the knife directly towards the fish's mouth. The fish was really fierce, no matter what it was, it bit in one bite, and then Li Shiyi let go of the hand that caught the fish, letting the fish swing its body desperately as if it was biting his own thigh. After a while, it was almost over. Li Shiyi took off the tiger head fish, and by the way, he replaced the back of the knife with a blade and cut off the head of the fish, and then buckled the mouth of the fish separately. Called over Li Donghao, put the head and body of the fish back in the basin, and asked him to send it to the kitchen to let Aunt Mei wash her clothes and bring him a bowl of soup for a while, and instructed him not to eat meat and drink soup, and to give him all if he behaves well. Li Donghao was like a little soldier when he received the task, and he really answered "yes" and turned around and ran to the kitchen. Everyone laughed at the child's appearance. The law enforcement officer touched the satin cloth in one hand and carried the weight of the noodle bag in the other. He seemed to be smiling happier than the Great Elder. He said with a grin

"Could it be that Mr. Eleven has a way to make better weapons and then use them to fish?" He wasn't doubting Li Shiyi's ability, but there were too many surprises today. At the moment, he was just chatting with Li Shiyi casually as things developed.

"Yes and no, I probably saw our alchemy this morning. I do have a better way to make better metal. The autumn leaves girl went to get the four treasures of the study. As he spoke, he turned to Li Qiuye.

"You can rest assured, my method is more simple and efficient, and even the smelting will be handed over to a workshop in the future, and other blacksmith shops only need to process, and after a while, we will have to double the proportion of exchanges." Speaking of which, Li Shiyi suddenly felt that he would not be too high-spirited. It's better to keep a low profile, mainly not because I'm afraid of a slap in the face at the end, in the end, if I don't succeed, it's still a bit of a waste of money and labor.

"By the way, Great Elder, I saw a book about the exchange ratio of items a hundred years ago. Let's come in that proportion in the future, but I'll add some other things to the exchange of each mineral, and I'll write in the evening that tomorrow you can send someone to the other side." ”

At this moment, Li Shiyi seemed to be right in everything he said. The Great Elder agreed, and by the way, he asked if there was anything else to explain tomorrow. Li Shiyi was actually a very ordinary dick silk originally, but now he just happens to have a place here. I'm also afraid that I will have a lot of things that I can't handle well, so I said

"It's better for you to decide the details yourself, Great Elder, in fact, many things are only superficial, and now that some Jiang Lang is exhausted, I don't dare to take too many ideas!" After speaking, he bowed his hand to the Great Elder. It's not good to be too noisy, after all, this little achievement is really not worthy of the title of "Mr. Eleven" that everyone calls him.

"Hahaha, Mr. Eleven is humble. Now that you're in charge of the exchange of things, don't call yourself 'below' in the future" The Great Elder is happy, and finally likes this 'Mr. Eleven'.

"This officer?" Li Shiyi was in a trance, and unconsciously became an official? There is a feeling of fluttering.

"Okay, good, good," the city lord also laughed happily: "Then from this moment on, the city lord will officially appoint Mr. Eleven as my guard to change things." ”

Later, they casually talked about other things, such as "Mr. Eleven, when are you going to teach you how to fish", such as "I plan to go to the opposite wall when I have time" and so on. At the same time, Li Shiyi's hands have not been idle. In the end, two paintings were drawn for everyone to see.

"This is a smelting furnace I drew from memories I've seen before, and the dimensions and accessories are all noted next to it. There may be a lot of things that need to be improved, and at first I would go to the site and keep an eye on it. I have also written in detail about the several metals that need to be refined in the short term. "Everyone looked at this strange-shaped furnace, and then looked at the size, they were a little worried that we could make such a huge furnace? Later, when I heard Li Shiyi say that the producer would be a lot more relieved now, besides, if it doesn't succeed once, it will continue to be made. In the future, everyone will have fish to eat, and they are afraid that they will not have the strength to work? Besides, the last thing we lack is ore raw materials, which can be made casually.

"In addition, this is a thing used for fishing, this can be done first, first using the ordinary forging method to purify this fine iron, and then purify. Until the iron bar is made harder and more resilient than this. As he spoke, he raised Captain Tiger's knife that had been bitten out by the tigerfish.

"Now take the remaining fifty catties of fine iron to the blacksmith shop to make it, and take this knife to dissolve, otherwise it should not be enough. The method and size are all on this drawing. Just trouble the autumn leaves girl, let's go for a trip now. Then she turned to look at Li Qiuye, who actually followed the example of her brother's soldier, stood with a pen, and shouted "yes" directly over the drawings and knives. The Great Elder was taken aback. Then I happily went out.

Just then, the little soldier from earlier came back with a steaming bowl of fish soup. Behind him, he bent down and stretched out her hand to protect her youngest son more carefully than the little soldier. Obviously, this little guy has to complete the task by himself, and uses his body to protect the bowl of fish soup. Finally, he put it on the tea table in front of me and looked at Li Shiyi with a serious expression

"Mr. Eleven, the fish soup you explained is ready." Then without waiting for Li Shiyi to praise a sentence, he stood next to Li Shiyi. He didn't speak, but as soon as he stood up straight and remembered that his father didn't let him stay here, he looked at the Great Elder. After seeing his father smile and nod, he smiled happily. Li Shiyi looked at Aunt Tian and was a little worried, and Aunt Tian immediately reacted and said

"Don't worry, I'll let Aunt Mei keep an eye on it in the backyard."

Li Shiyi picked up the spoon, took a sip, tasted it for a while, and then took two sips. Smash your mouth, close your eyes and start to get into the state. This time, it took a full quarter of an hour before he slowly opened his eyes, and turned his head with a smile to bring the fish soup to Li Donghao. Then he touched his head and said

"Dong Hao is really sensible, and the task is executed quite perfectly. Come, bring the fish soup to your mother, and eat it with her. Okay" The little guy didn't seem to think that this was really for himself, and he stared at the fish soup. At this time, Aunt Tian came over and picked up the fish soup and called Li Donghao, saying that she was going to eat it in the wing.

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Li Shiyi shouted at the mother and son

"Eat with confidence, there's more. There are many more in the evening. ”

"It's a drop in the bucket." The lord seems to be thinking about the people who are still starving.

"City Lord, rest assured, how about you come forward to feast the people of the city to drink fish soup tonight?" Li Shiyi said to the city lord with a confident smile

"The whole city? But now we only have 200 catties and the 200 catties in the backyard。。。。。。 Plus I'm there, it should be enough, since I'm happy. Then it's decided, Captain Tiger will inform everyone. The location is in the sacrificial square. The face that was originally full of worry seemed to be full of smiles because of the openness.

Without waiting for Captain Tiger to agree, Li Shiyi took over and said

"Captain Tiger and Li Ersil will accompany me to catch fish for a while, and inform everyone about this matter, so please trouble others to go."

"Still catching fish?" Although there are some doubts in it, Captain Tiger's saliva action has already shown that if he doesn't let him go now, he will let the other party know that he is the leader of the patrol team guarding the other party. They all stood up and wanted to go. Li Ersil still didn't understand the situation at the moment, but seeing Captain Tiger's excited appearance, he hurriedly ran to Captain Tiger and whispered to underestimate it. As a result, Captain Tiger impatiently told him to shut up.

"Do whatever you want, can you still be tricked by following Mr. Eleven?"

Seeing this, Li Shiyi smiled helplessly

"Then it seems that I, Captain Tiger and the two stupid brothers and I should set off early, catch more and come back early. I'll have to worry about the work of preparing the water tank and guarding the house."

After speaking, he took the two of them and the basket out of the door, and as soon as he walked to the door, Captain Tiger left the two baskets that he had looked at back and forth several times when he went out before. said that they should go first, but after only ten minutes of walking, Captain Tiger came running over with two baskets that could fit two adults behind his shoulder. Li Shiyi and Li Ersil were dumbfounded, there were such big baskets there, if these two baskets were full, they would be four or five hundred catties. Can you afford it?

"Hehe, Lao Tzu's strongest title is not fake, if it weren't for the fact that there was no bigger one, I would let you know the difference between Lian Jiazi and you, a mortal, today." The words were said to Li Erdu, and by the way, he almost slapped Li Ersil into the field.
