Chapter 15 Issuing False Certificates
This time the fishing process went quite smoothly, and the big guy didn't bother again. After about an hour in the water, the fish that surrounded Li Shiyi and wanted to shred him reached a terrifying peak. According to Li Ersil's later bragging words at the banquet, "Hundreds of fish surrounded Mr. Eleven, and those fish circled around Mr. Eleven, forming a huge tornado, and the river stopped flowing, and the water centered on Mr. Eleven was spinning to swallow him into the water." However, Mr. Eleven did not panic at all, but caught the fish with much more ferocity. We watched from the shore as Mr. Eleven slapped the fish into the basket one by one. It's kind of like ... It's a bit like Mr. Eleven is standing in the water to practice, causing the current to circle around him, and those fish are inexplicably flying towards the fish basket. ”
Just after an hour, Li Ersil had already picked more than 300 catties of fish, and he came back again, and this time Li Shiyi asked him to pick a bucket. In the middle, Captain Tiger said that he wanted to help stun those fish, and Li Shiyi didn't dare to let him do that, but when he saw a hammer that Captain Tiger didn't know where to take it out, some of them hurt for the brains of those fish, so he hurriedly went ashore, saying that he would teach Captain Tiger how to shoot. He didn't have the courage to ask Captain Tiger to put away his hammer, which he had raised and was ready to give the fish a moment. Who knew that the hammer that Captain Tiger had just put away, and when he turned his head, he didn't know that he had taken out a big wooden stick from there. It's the kind of one big end and one small end, and the big one has spiral lines and then extends in a straight line to the small end, just like the wooden stick of the weapon in some games. Li Shiyi didn't expect that there was really such a stick that mages used as crutches, and he couldn't help but stare at it for a while.
"Isn't that okay too? That or ... Captain Tiger was a little aggrieved and was about to take out other weapons.
Li Shiyi hurriedly stopped, I was really afraid that he could still take out something like a mace meteor hammer
"Alas, okay, okay, okay, this is okay," he said, took the stick and threw it at a fish that was jumping happily. "See, it's mainly the head smashed, the upper part of the eye. Because you can't grab it and smash it, you have to look at the right shot, and you should be fine with more practice. Attention said, it's stunning, not smashing, and it won't be long before it tastes good. After speaking, he was a little reluctant to hand the stick back to Captain Tiger, the wooden stick in this shape is really easy to use, and I will find one myself when I have the opportunity to find it in the future.
However, Li Shiyi looked down on Lian Jiazi's ability, except that the strength of the first two sticks was not grasped well and killed a fish, and the captain of the tiger who was skilled in the back actually performed an aerial relay. Li Shiyi, who threw the captain of the fish tiger in the air, directly hit the head with a stick and slapped it into the basket. Seeing that Li Shiyi was very worried that if there was a mistake or he didn't pay attention to the tiger captain, if he was hit by a fish, he didn't know if he could withstand it, but fortunately, there was a Li Ersil who had been helping to watch from the side.
Seeing that it couldn't fit anymore, Li Qiuye came with the big basket in the morning on his back at this time. Li Shiyi didn't catch any more fish, and divided about seventy or eighty catties in the back basket and carried it on his back. The four of them lined up in a row, Li Qiuye was still responsible for taking the clothes and walking in the first, Li Shiyi walked in the second with a seventy or eighty pound back basket, Captain Tiger walked in the third with two large frames of fish that were about to break the flat burden, and Li Ersil was the most depressed, carrying two buckets of river water and walking in the last.
"Why don't you catch it? Those fish, to me, look like they're begging you to catch them. There are at least a hundred of them that are still circling around you just now, and we can take them with us completely, but if I can't do it, won't I run again? Now this little fish is not enough for a pound per person. "Captain Tiger has some complaints, but it's not really complaining, it's just a little hard to figure it out.
"Ever heard of 'open the net'? It is said that when people catch fish, they will deliberately open a gap when they close the net, so that some of the lucky fish can escape, and even the fish that catch the net at the end will release the smaller ones. In fact, this is to thank nature for the gift, and the second is not to kill them all, otherwise there will be no fish to catch one day. ”
"Oh, I see. But the fish in the river I feel like it's endless, and they eat people. Even if it's caught, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing" Li Ersil is indeed not stupid, but Li Shiyi still doesn't quite agree with this point of view.
"Now that we eat fish, what if cattle and sheep one day have the ability to hunt and kill humans for food? In order to survive, there is no right or wrong in these things. However, we should take a long-term view to benefit future generations. Li Shiyi didn't know if he was right about saying this, but he thought so. Although he knew that everyone was just an insignificant individual in this vast world, he was just doing something to comfort himself.
"But after saying that the banquet is held, it won't really be a bowl of fish soup for one person tonight." Captain Tiger still doesn't understand, obviously he can get a few hundred catties of it, so it's good to have one person and one fish.
"Can we add some veggies to it?" Li Qiuye asked
"Of course you can, but don't add anything to it, this fish is a new ingredient, you still have to be careful, I'm worried that if it is not toxic in itself, it will be toxins if it is not properly matched. And Captain Tiger, you should understand that for the time being, it is better for ordinary people to eat less of this fish. Li Shiyi gave Captain Tiger a look
Captain Tiger nodded, remembering that trace of spiritual power and the sense of power that just a few pieces of fish meat brought to his body.
"Then what's the point" Li Qiuye may have been arranged to be in charge of tonight's cooking together, and he seemed particularly concerned.
"At present, I see that there is a lot of stock, which is radish, followed by cabbage, and it should be no problem to add these two. In addition, I heard that the second fool's family once changed to ginger, and now they have made medicinal herbs in the pharmacy, and they can also take them out. Tonight's fish soup with some ginger should be even more delicious. After boiling the pot for a while, I'll take care of the cooking," Li Shiyi actually had a plan, so he confidently took on the job of cooking fish soup to himself.
"Hehe, I still have berry wine there, although it's not much, but it should be enough for everyone to take out a glass of everything" Captain Tiger seems to be really open-minded, and he heard that the patrol has a winery before. It is specially supplied to patrol teams to protect them from fog. Except for large events, outsiders can't drink.
After returning to the Great Elder's house, I saw that many people were gathered around the backyard, and there were even several patrol members with red cloths tied to their arms at the two entrances and exits, all holding machetes and looking like they were facing a great enemy. Li Shiyi guessed badly, and hurriedly rushed to the backyard, followed by Captain Tiger. Everyone saw that one of the two people was carrying a basket of tiger head fish, and the tiger head fish that one was carrying was even more terrifying, and the fish could shake out the fish no matter how hard they were swaying, and some of the fish were already slightly flapping their tails, and they were obviously about to wake up completely. Frightened, the crowd fled.
Fortunately, it turned out that only a jar that was brought in later was broken, and there were not many fish in that jar. Although the twenty or so fish in the yard were clearly headed towards people, only three or four came to the vicinity of the door, and two were hacked to death by the patrol. Li Shiyi hurriedly threw the fish into the vat with his bare hands, and Captain Tiger took the mallet and began to perform his "stuffy stick method". After a while, it was solved. In the end, only one patrol member was bitten and his pants were torn to the price to quell the turmoil. But looking at the big water tank in the yard, Li Shiyi was quite speechless. If this is fully filled with fish, it is conservatively estimated that it can really hold five or six thousand catties. The key is where all these thirty or so vats come from, I haven't seen them before.
When people saw this scene, they were more afraid of this tiger fish, and it could be seen from their eyes that some people might have retreated. If you are prepared to live or die, you will not eat fish. The Great Elder seemed to understand the meaning from Li Shiyi's eyes, walked up to Li Shiyi, patted him on the shoulder, and told him that it was okay, and he had already done his ideological work. There are few people who can hold on to not eating fish tonight, and there is no reason why good things should not be shared. Then he grabbed a tiger head fish that had just been photographed by Captain Tiger and threw it into the water tank. Then he wiped the slippery water on his hands directly on Li Shiyi's clothes, looked at Li Shiyi's somewhat warm eyes, thought about it and washed his hands again, turned around and wiped it on Li Shiyi's body again... Li Shiyi was speechless, thinking to himself: This old man's way of expressing closeness is peculiar enough. If it weren't for the face of your future grandson, I would have to beat you up to see how far this body has come now.
"If you are willing to help, stay, and the rest of you will go to the square with me to prepare," he said and left in style. Almost all women, old and young, were taken away. The women are still the only ones left, Aunt Tian, Aunt Mei and Sister Qiuye, and by the way, there is a four-and-a-half-year-old second girl next door.
Li Shiyi shouted angrily in the back: "Uncle Bureau, take the second girl away!" Hearing this shout, Aunt Hua next door rushed over and took the second girl away.
Well, the rest of the people are mainly from the original family, as well as Captain Tiger and his subordinates. Li Shiyi demonstrated how to kill the fish and throw the internal organs to remove the scales. Then he handed over this work to others, and he and Captain Tiger were responsible for cutting the head of the fish, after all, the fish is a thing, sometimes it can flutter a few times when it is put into the pot, and I am afraid that it will bite someone. I have to say that Captain Tiger's martial arts are really in vain, and he always says that he is the strongest practitioner on the guard. Li Shiyi fished out the fish from the tank and pinched it in his hand, Captain Tiger picked up the kitchen knife and took the knife down, and the position of the knife cut down was not the same.
Finally, before it was completely dark, the smell of fish wafted throughout the square, and the Great Elder spoke before the banquet and even joked, "Everyone should smell more smells, don't let the smell drift across the river, let the people on the opposite side smell it, and they will not hesitate to break the rules to cross the river to grab it." At the same time, he helped Li Shiyi say some good things and help him establish his image. The strangest thing was the last paragraph, which made Li Shiyi not know that it was so profound until a year later.
"My ancestor fought in the dynasty, Mr. Eleven was the child left by the previous captain and Li Shuyuan before the accident, some time ago he was looking for his parents to break through the fog alone, and three years later he was fortunately found by the captain Li Lihu in the fog. Now it is no longer what it used to be with the captain Li Lihu to learn the immortal method. In the near future, it is expected to lead the defenders to win the victory of the Spring Festival! ”
When he said this, the Great Elder did not look at the crowd, but looked up at the statue on the altar on the north side of the square, and Li Shiyi once asked Li Qiuye who the statue that was more than three feet high. Li Qiuye only said that he was an ancestor, but did not elaborate. At that time, Li Shiyi felt that this Great Elder might be giving himself a certificate, which might be the same as getting a public false certificate for himself. Maybe it's for the convenience of the spring party in the future.
Then the banquet officially began, and everyone had a bowl of fish soup in their hands, and the snow-white fish soup was filled with radishes and white and tender fish. Thousands of people got up at the same time and shouted "Eleven Brothers", "Eleven Nephews", "Eleven Brothers", "Eleven Brothers", "Eleven Boys" and "Eleven Uncles" with the soup in their hands. Of course, there are some other names, even if Li Shiyi's hearing is good now, he really can't hear clearly. moved Li Shiyi to the point, this is treating himself as a family, this feels so good.
