Chapter 16: Outwitting the Shrimp Monster
I followed the little monkey and galloped towards the village. The little monkey is really worthy www.biquge.info of the name of the little monkey on this island, in the deep forest of his home island, even if I have practiced for a few years, I am only barely "biting" the tail of the little monkey, maybe if it wasn't for the little monkey to lead the way, the little monkey would have thrown me away.
It was supposed to be more than ten miles on foot, but under our desperate rush, it was estimated that it would take a few minutes to arrive.
The little monkey patted me on the back and said, "It's all right, Lord." Have you eaten something unclean in the morning......" I faced the little monkey's teasing, intentional or unintentional, and I could only respond with my retching.
After resting for a while, I slowly approached the entrance of the village, trying to see if the shrimp essence was as powerful as the legend suggests.
There is no need to probe carefully, the shrimp essence, estimated to be about two meters tall, is waving his two forks at the entrance of the village, with a shrimp head on his head, it seems that he is a soft-footed shrimp that has not fully evolved. But after thinking about it, this shrimp essence has at least one hundred and eighty years of cultivation before it can cultivate this lower body, no matter how good it is, it is not something that I, a rookie who has just entered the industry, can deal with.
At this time, I missed Uncle Turtle very much. You can't storm it, you can only outwit it.
My eyes rolled, and it seemed that I could only take one step at a time. As I walked, the shrimp essence's two sky-high eyes noticed my arrival, staring at me directly, it seemed that they had discovered the domineering aura on my body, which was so dazzling in the crowd.
"Boy, you are a little cultivated on this island, you should be the person on this island, this year's offering should be paid, and the 13,000 immortal shells owed before, plus interest, a total of 15,000 immortal shells. ”
The old village chief looked at me with a puzzled look on his face, knowing that I was wondering about the amount of money, so he secretly approached me and said softly: "This annual offering is one hundred and twenty immortal shells, but the previous island owners were too strong, so these sea spirits did not dare to forcibly collect, so they wrote it down year by year, and wanted to wait for a soft persimmon to come, so they could come and knock on the oil and water." ”
The old village chief said that the eight or nine are not far from ten, this shrimp essence just knows that the owner of the island has changed, and he came to test the water, it turns out that I am the soft persimmon.
"Hey, boy, I've been chatting privately for so long, when will I pay the protection fee?!" Shrimp Essence shouted a little impatiently.
Once I refuse, this shrimp essence will inevitably fight to test my strength, then my few taels of straw-like catties will not be tested immediately, and the shrimp essence will definitely have no scruples and kill the village or something. It seems that it can only be delayed.
"Mr. Prawn, it's just past three o'clock in the afternoon, you are in such a hurry, you must have not used lunch, don't be in a hurry to collect money, the village, immediately the village will hold a banquet, feast the prawns, please prawns must appreciate your face." "I had a brilliant idea.
When the village chief saw my instructions, he immediately went back to the village to prepare. Shrimp essence, seeing that we were so enthusiastic, was embarrassed to refuse, and said half-pushed: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate......"
In this way, I walked into the village with shrimp spirit talking and laughing, and the people in the village were also busy greeting, and after a while, a table of wine was formed.
Steamed sweet potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, fried potatoes with potatoes, white radish with carrots, tomato and tomato soup, etc., etc., came into my eyes. Looking at the embarrassed shrimp essence, my face also turned a little red. The shrimp essence said: "This dish, this is unique! I don't know if there is such a ......" "Yes, yes, yes, the banquet, there is no banquet, the focus is not on the dish, on the wine, the village chief serves the wine, and serves the old wine that has been cellared in the village for decades." ”
The village chief saw that I was facing away from the shrimp essence and wincing at him, and he also understood my countermeasures, and hurriedly instructed the villagers to contribute all the wine in the village.
Seeing that I was so good, the shrimp spirit immediately smiled and said: "That's it, that's it, there is no banquet, there is no banquet ......."
Cup after cup, altar after altar, this shrimp essence cup does not leave the hand, and finally the cup is too small, directly holding the jar, and pouring it into his mouth, while pouring, he said to us: "This is an errand under the dragon king, everything is good, just to avoid the mouth, what desire for tongue, you have to quit, I drink here, you can't spread it." After saying that, he glared at us, and went on to drink, what a greedy fellow, drinking from noon until the sun went down, and he was not full of fun.
In the face of the warning of the shrimp essence, I subconsciously nodded, but at that time I was thinking of something else. The brewing technology on this island is really not good, and the degree is too low, so it seems that we will find a time to make a big technological innovation here, which is a later story. According to the massive drinking method of this shrimp essence, even if I contribute all the wine in the village, I can't get drunk with him, it seems that I can only use this thing, and when I think about it, I can't help but feel a pain in my flesh.
I said to the shrimp essence, "I wonder what Brother Shrimp thinks of the wine on this island?"
The shrimp monster waved his hand and said, "Usual, usual." That being said, he didn't stop drinking.
"Brother Prawn, have you ever tasted heavenly wine?" I said, taking out a thumb-sized container from my bosom.
When the shrimp essence heard this, he immediately became interested, "How can you and other mortals care about this heavenly thing?!" This insincere expression, his eyes stared at the bottle in my hand, and the halazi flowed down uncontrollably, and even forgot to drink the wine.
I said: "Of course I can't have it, but my ancestors, by chance, once obtained a jar of immortal wine, and there is a small part of this immortal brew in this bottle, which was originally reserved for the purpose of remembering and paying tribute to the ancestors. ”
"Is this really for me?" This shrimp essence can't stand the temptation, and the saliva has flowed into a puddle at the feet, not a loss of seafood, no shortage of water.
Seeing that I nodded, the shrimp spirit snatched the bottle in my hand and used twelve points of strength, but still did not open the bottle. I said quietly: "Brother Shrimp is drunk, I'll do it for you." With that, he took the bottle, and with a slight turn, a burst of green smoke floated from the mouth of the bottle. Anyone who smelled it couldn't help but be a little intoxicated, and I was careless, and I was also a little dazed.
Shrimp essence is not a seafood that has been cultivated for a hundred years, and after a moment of trance, he immediately snatched the bottle from my hand and drank it all, as if someone was robbing him.
But when the immortal wine flowed into his throat, the shrimp essence sighed: "Good wine, good wine......" and fell heavily to the ground and got drunk.
The fairy wine is not so delicious, and I shouted: "Little ones, tie up this shrimp essence, throw it in the pot and cook it, and eat drunk shrimp tonight." ”
