On the deck of the narrow kitchen area at the stern, Yang Bencai put the fish in his hand flat on the ground.

This koi fish seems to have finally realized that it was going to be killed, and it also jumped twice except for the occasional opening and closing of its mouth, but it was held down by Yang Bencai, and slapped it twice with the blade of the kitchen knife to the fish's head.

This time, the fish completely stopped moving, and it seemed to be stunned.

Then Yang Bencai took the blade and wiped it on the belly of the fish, but he didn't wipe it, and after another wipe, he still didn't cut it.

"Huh? Is this knife blunt? ”

Yang Bencai picked up the kitchen knife and looked at it, touched the blade with his fingers, and began to search around, and found a whetstone in the corner over there.

Yang Bencai immediately went to get the stone, and after sharpening the knife, he returned to the position just now.

"Brother Yang, I think it's better to forget it, I look a little weird about this fish, even if the knife is blunt, it won't be uncut."

Yang Bencai saw that the fish still didn't move, and he should have been killed by the knife.

"It's too late to kill or not."

As he spoke, Yang Bencai pressed the body of the fish to cut the belly of the fish again, but this time the fish suddenly trembled.

"Shh

Yang Bencai put down the knife and covered his hand, and a hole was opened under his thumb, and blood continued to flow out, and a drop fell on the deck and also on the koi.

"Papapa, pa"

The koi will start to jump on the deck, and Yi Shuyuan can see it clearly, and the blood that drips on the fish is also caught in the carp's mouth in the process.

"Hey, Brother Yang, your fish"

Yi Shuyuan reminded on the side, Yang Bencai saw that the fish was about to reach the wooden fence, he subconsciously wanted to hold it, but unfortunately it was still a step too late.

"Poof~", the fish has jumped back into the water.

Yang Bencai covered his hands, looked at the blood stains that were smeared on the ground, and then looked at Yi Shuyuan next to him.

"Don't look at me, I'm afraid of killing fish, so I didn't dare to approach just now."

"Three or two"

Yang Bencai wanted to cry without tears, and when he looked at his hand again, he was even more sad, three taels of silver were thrown into the water, and he also made a hole in his hand.

An old boatman came by and was about to prepare dinner, and as if he had seen the fish escape, he shook his head and said.

"Fish like this, I used to run the boat and catch it, and I released it, so it's better to escape."

Hearing this, Yang Bencai endured the pain and looked at the old man.

"Uncle, didn't you say that eating koi fish has a bright future?"

"I don't know when it came out and I had good luck eating, I didn't see a few developed ones!"

The old boatman said this, and also put the big fathead fish in his hand on the deck, slapped it with a kitchen knife, and cut the fish to remove the dirty with his hand, which was much sharper than Yang Bencai.

"You two offspring sons, if you really want to eat fish, come to me for a while."

"How much?"

Yang Bencai asked, feeling that he had to ask for money for everything on this ship.

However, the old boatman smiled and looked at Yi Shuyuan.

"I wanted to buy this fish and release it for this posterity, but I invited you for this meal."

"Hey, that's it! But he certainly wasn't released, but I bought it before I said so. ”

"Thank you, uncle."

Yi Shuyuan also smiled and arched his hand, he didn't refute Yang Bencai, but looked sideways at the water at the stern of the boat, the fish seemed to be still nearby.

——

It was getting dark, and the big ships were all eating on fire, and although the cooking was all in one place, both the dishes and the people who ate were divided into several waves.

In addition to some passengers who brought their own rations to solve it by themselves in the warehouse under the front end, there were also three waves of hot meals.

The three people representing the shipowner ate themselves in the rest cabin, and the boatman was divided into two waves, with more than a dozen people eating around, and there were more dishes, including some passengers who bought meals.

And the old shipwright who Yi Shuyuan and Yang Bencai are here, and there are only seven of them in total.

The inner warehouse was occupied by a large number of people, and Yi Shuyuan and the others ate by the stern galley, although it was ventilated on three sides, at least there was a roof on the head, so there was no need to worry about rain.

And the dishes are put in the pot, there is charcoal in the furnace below, a pot of pickles stewed fat, the dishes are steaming all the time, and it is warm to look at.

"Ho, hiss. Delicious, ho"

Yang Bencai's hand has been wrapped, which will not be the slightest inconvenient, and he will send the hot fish meat to his mouth, and he will be scalded but still delicious.

Yi Shuyuan blows the fish meat and sends it to his mouth, and he also feels that it is very delicious, especially the atmosphere of this environment, which makes the taste highlight three points.

"Hey, not bad, right? Uncle Meng has been running a boat for many years, and his craftsmanship is not built. ”

"Uncle is a good craft!" "That's right, it's delicious!"

Yi Shuyuan and Yang Bencai praised one after another, making the old boatman who was cooking smile, and the other four boatmen also smiled, each picking up vegetables and grilling rice.

"On this kind of cold day, you have to eat a hot meal to be comfortable!"

"It's a pity that there is no wine"

The old boatman sighed.

Yi Shuyuan, who heard this, thought for a moment, and then smiled freely.

"Who said no, I have it, wait a minute, I'll get it!"

"Really?"

"That's nature! By the way, save me some fish, don't eat it all! ”

"Brother Yi, go quickly, how can such a big fish say no!"

Yi Shuyuan nodded and smiled, got up and put the dishes and chopsticks on his stool, and then walked quickly along the side of the boat towards the front.

It's just that when he got to the front, Yi Shuyuan didn't get out of the warehouse, but stretched out his hand, and the top of the mast was already gathering the treasure gourd of the starlight and moonlight at the moment, and it flew down, and he grabbed it in his hand.

Yi Shuyuan slipped out of the folding fan and unfolded it, poured some wine from the gourd, and poured it directly onto the fan surface of the folding fan, and the wine fell into the fan surface without wetting the paper or leaking out from the edges, as if it was poured directly into the fan.

After pouring some, Yi Shuyuan threw the gourd again, flew back to the top of the mast, and the folding fan in his hand was slightly thrown and then stretched out, and when the folding fan fell, it had become a columnar white porcelain wine bottle in his palm.

The people who were eating at the stern of the boat didn't wait long before they saw Yi Shuyuan walking back quickly, still carrying a small wine bottle in his hand.

"The wine is coming~~"

Yi Shuyuan's tone was raised, and it also attracted the people who were bored and cooking.

"Just wait, the wine bowl is ready!"

"Come on, sit down!"

The boatman next to him diligently helped Yi Shuyuan pick up the dishes and chopsticks on the stool and invited him to take a seat.

Yi Shuyuan sat down and raised the wine jug.

"The wine bowl is ready, there is not much wine, only one glass per person, but the wine is very strong!"

"It's good to drink some!" "Yes, yes, yes, don't dislike it!"

Everyone took out the container, and used a teacup instead of a wine cup.

Yi Shuyuan uncorked the bottle, and suddenly a rich aroma of wine wafted out.

"It's such a fragrant wine, you'll get drunk just by smelling it!" "It makes me drool!"

"Come, uncle, you come first!" "Alas!"

Yi Shuyuan stood up and poured wine for the old boatman, stopped after half a glass, and then poured wine for others one after another, and when he arrived here, there was exactly half a glass left.

"Please!" "Please!" "Come and drink!".

Everyone touched the glasses with a smile, and then took a sip carefully, only to feel that the wine was extremely spicy in the mouth, swallowing it like a fire, but with a sweet aftertaste, and the body was warmer all of a sudden.

A small sip of wine is in the stomach, and a layer of fine sweat oozes from the forehead of the drinker.

"Good wine!" "This wine is so good!" "yes!"

"Yi Gongzi, this wine is not cheap, is it?"

Yi Shuyuan also put down the wine glass that he had taken a sip of, and said with a smile.

"Cheap or not, that is, a glass of wine, regardless of the price of the food, regardless of the wine."

"Hahahaha, okay, today, the old man and I made an unintentional move, but I took advantage of it, thank you son!"

The old boatman is knowledgeable, and this wine is full of energy and heat, I'm afraid it's some kind of precious medicinal wine!

"Brother Yi, what kind of wine is this?"

Yang Bencai also asked, this kind of wine can't be famous.

"Well, it's called Sun and Moon Qiankun Wine, but it's made by a person, the brewer said, this wine is a collection of the sun, moon and stars and the vitality of heaven and earth in one furnace, supplemented by precious medicinal materials, it's not easy to drink!"

"Brother Yi, you're."

"Alas, Brother Yang, it's the brewer!"

"Hahaha, anyway, we are all stained with Uncle Meng's light today!" "Yes, yes, hahaha!"

"Come on, come on, eat and drink!"

Not counting the fierce fire that illuminated everyone's faces red, I don't know if it was because of the charcoal fire or the power of wine.

The dishes in the cauldron on the stove were steaming, and the people around them were serving the food, and although the small glass of wine was not much, it was extremely delicious, and the seven of them ate very happily.

At this time, someone in the inner compartment went out through the front door, went to the deck, stood on the fence, and peed on the river.

The laughing people at the stern of the boat also seemed to be eating very lively.

Suddenly, the peeing man's body shook violently, and he quickly got down from the railing, looked at the river, and could vaguely see a vague white shadow floating in the middle of the river.

"Oops!"

The peeing man let out a low cry of fright and rushed back to the cabin.

Yi Shuyuan, who was eating in the back, also stopped his chopsticks at this moment, and a hoarse voice could be faintly heard in his ears.

"Recruited. Recruit. Come. In where. Quickly show up."

At this moment, on the side of the big boat, in the small inlet where the boatmen had fished before, the golden-red carp seemed to be frightened, and carefully swam to the side of the big boat, hiding against the bottom of the boat.

On the surface of the canal, wisps of white breath from some of the surrounding boats drifted towards the center of the river like white smoke invisible to the naked eye.

In the stern of the big ship, there was a burst of heat on the bodies of the few people who had drunk the wine, and in Yi Shuyuan's eyes, their anger rose for a while, and there was no other effect.

But elsewhere on the ship, wisps of white air drifted away.

Inhaling yang air!

"You eat, I'll go relieve you!"

Yi Shuyuan suddenly opened his mouth to relieve himself.

"Go quickly, go quickly, there will be no food later!"

"Definitely!"

Yi Shuyuan nodded and stood up, hurriedly walking to the front of the boat.

When there was no one around, Yi Shuyuan fixed his eyes on the center of the river, and in the mist on the water surface, another white shadow with a cloak was moving, this white shadow had a shape and hands, but no feet and no face.

"What is it?"

"I don't know, sir, it's weird."

Gray Mian's voice came from inside Yi Shuyuan's clothes.

"Humph!"

Yi Shuyuan snorted coldly, his left hand had already grabbed the ruler that slipped out of his sleeve, and then raised the ruler and gently patted it on the railing.

"Boom—"

A loud bang echoed in the sky like thunder in the clear sky, and the thunder shattered the evil, and the shadows on the water collapsed in an instant.

Yi Shuyuan frowned and stared at the river, sure enough, it was an illusory phantom, so who sucked away the yang energy?

Is it underwater?

At this time, the front door of the inner warehouse was opened from the inside, and the gambler came out of it with a few scolding, and when he saw Yi Shuyuan standing here, he didn't pay attention to it, but walked to the railing and looked at the river.

"What the hell?" "Where?"

"Huh? I just had it."

"You're fucking stupid, aren't you? The suspicious ghost of the big night, seeing the fog as a ghost? ”

"This son, you can see the ghost?"

Yi Shuyuan glanced at the man, shook his head and didn't speak.

The men cursed and went back again.

At this time, Yi Shuyuan walked to the other side of the boat and looked into the water below.

"It's looking for you, isn't it?"

On the surface of the water next to the boat, a red shadow gradually emerged, spitting bubbles towards the water, his eyes did not look like a fish at all, and he looked at the long-haired man who was probing on the side of the boat above, his eyes were full of horror.

This man is not mortal?
