Chapter 4: The Fish Feast
Chapter 4: The Fish Feast
The "Rainbow Fish" is named after the rainbow by the villagers because the fish shines in the sunlight and presents a rainbow-like halo. The "rainbow fish" can rarely be caught, but the meat is so tender that the whole fish can be eaten even the bones, which can be said to be the top ingredient, and after eating the fish, there will be a strange air flow that swims throughout the body, enhancing physical strength, which is very precious.
The "rainbow fish" is very powerful, and it is difficult for ordinary people to catch it easily; The speed in the water is very fast, even if the water is very good at the best of the effort, it is not so easy to keep up with the "rainbow fish"; In addition, "rainbow fish" generally live in deep water areas, and almost never move in shallow water areas, and only occasionally catch them through fishing, so it is a lucky thing to see "rainbow fish" appear in the circle of fishing.
"Wakakaka...... Big guy, don't run! ”
"Ah, this fish is so beautiful! Fast! You go over there and plug it! ”
"Oops! This fish swims so fast, it's so hard to catch! We enclose it together from four directions. Intercept its escape route. ”
It is rare to see such a precious big fish, and everyone shouts out their own methods, hoping to catch this big fish with colorful light as soon as possible, and even some people go directly to the lake to help round up.
However, the "Rainbow Fish" seems to be full of spirituality, and when everyone is about to rush to it, they can sense it and quickly escape from their personal gaps. However, when Han Yu approached him, his reaction was particularly slow, and the big fish seemed to want to get close to him, but he was a little scared, which made people feel weird.
"Well, could it be that this little creature has a special ability that can make other people or animals closer? It seems that yes, when he appeared in front of me, it made me want to get close to him, and this little guy seemed really special. Ying Xiaoxiao slowly noticed something unusual.
As the circle of round-up became narrower and narrower, the routes that the "Rainbow Fish" could escape became fewer and fewer, and finally, the "Rainbow Fish" felt that there was no way to escape, and rushed towards Han Yu with a big tail, circling around him. Han Yu hugged the big fish tightly, and shouted "Catch it, catch it, hahaha......"
Han Yu hugged the big fish that was longer than his height tightly, and walked to the shore step by step, and the "rainbow fish" did not make any resistance.
"Hey, I've caught a big fish! It's time to go home for dinner! It was getting dark, and one by one the children picked up the fish they had caught and walked back to the village. With the children gone, the entire lakeshore area slowly regained its tranquility.
Ying Xiaoxiao returned to the camp's quarters and ran into a room next to her lodgings, shouting "Uncle Lei, Uncle Lei." I met a very interesting little guy today, only about three years old, but his strength is surprising, and he can hold hundreds of pounds of big fish with both hands. And, moreover, there is a feeling of closeness in the body, and it is really interesting to be a small ghost. Hehe......"
In the room sat an old man in his fifties, his hair was starting to turn gray, and his face was full of vicissitudes, and when he opened his eyes, there was a faint cold light. However, when he looked at Ying Xiaoxiao, his eyes became full of doting.
"Oh? Didn't expect to meet someone in this small mountain village who made you feel interesting? It's unusual, it's unusual. Hehehe......"
"Uh. Where have you gone crazy? Look at you, your clothes are soaked and covered in mud. Hurry, hurry back to the room to change clothes, you're about to become a big girl, and you're so naughty. Ay. ”
"Hee-hee, got it, Uncle Ray. We went fishing just now. ”
"Excuse me, is Mr. Lei here?" Bang, bang, bang, a knock on the door interrupted their conversation.
The old man opened the door slowly, "I am, what's the matter?" ”
"Today we caught a precious "rainbow fish" in our village, and the village chief wanted to invite Mr. Lei and Miss Ying to attend the "rainbow fish" banquet held in the village one hour later. ”
"Well, okay, you go back and tell the village chief that we will be there on time later."
"Hee-hee, that "rainbow fish" was caught by that funny little guy. When Ying Xiaoxiao heard that a banquet was going to be held, she said, "Let's go, change your clothes and go eat big fish." ”
The open space outside the camp gradually became lively, and the village chief took most of the fish caught in the lake today to tonight's fish feast. I saw a huge iron pot set up in the middle of the open space, cleaned and put the golden and colorful "rainbow fish" into the cauldron, all kinds of spices, with the medicinal materials dug up in the mountains, more than 100 years of ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum as big as a face plate, deer antler velvet with golden blood deer, etc., as well as all kinds of fruits.
After the fire boiled, bursts of rich aroma wafted through the entire camp. Forty or fifty tables were arranged around the large iron pot, each with a small iron stove on it, and on the table were trays of various vegetables grown in the village, yams dug in the mountains, wild animal meat hunted, and all kinds of fish caught in the lake today.
As night began to fall, the torches lit outside the camp lit up as if it were day, and all the people came to the camp one after another. The village chief, Shanbo's face turned red with excitement, and he shouted in his loud voice:
"Everyone! Today is the procurement day, and it is also the last procurement day before the New Year this year, and God also favors us, so that we can catch such a precious "rainbow fish" today. In this way, our village borrowed the precious treasure fish given by God for a feast, and rewarded the Eagle Flying Business Alliance that has worked tirelessly to come to our village for so many years to procure and improve our lives. ”
"Lads! Folks in the village! Come on! Let's eat together! Let's dance! Shanbo shouted as he walked to Governor Thunder and said, "Come, Come, Supervisor Thunder, sit down and taste the coarse grains of the countryside together." Don't be surprised, we are all mountain people, and we are not as meticulous as the towns. ”
"Huh...... Where, this "rainbow fish" is a treasure, there is not enough luck, but it is not easy to touch, can eat. The first time I came, I met it, and it was still a big fish, what a lot of luck! ”
"Rainbow fish basically live in deep water and are very spiritual, making them difficult to catch. But I heard that this big fish was caught by a three-year-old child, is it true? ”
During the casual conversation between Mr. Lei and Shanbo, he asked about the person who caught the fish.
"Yes! That little guy is different from the average person when he is born. At a young age, the natural strength can be compared with adults, and the running speed is also; When he goes to the bottom of the mountain to play, there are often small animals coming out of the mountain to circle him; When you go to catch a fish, you don't have to worry much about it, and you automatically swim to him. This little guy is very unusual, but he is just too skinny. It's not worry-free. ”
Speaking of Han Yu, Shanbo said a lot of things. Ying Xiaoxiao listened to Shanbo's boasting beside her, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Singing and laughter rang out over and over again in the camp. When the people in the village talked about the hunting of all kinds of animals and the digging of all kinds of medicinal herbs in the mountains, and the steep and dangerous encounters, the personnel of the procurement team shouted that hunting and collecting medicine were so dangerous that they would die in every minute.
The guards of the procurement group also talked about the various wonderful and exciting things they encountered when they traveled south and north, which made the eyes of these simple people living in the mountains burst into stars, and they were full of yearning for the world outside the mountains. I hope to get out of the mountains and see the wonderful world outside.
"Sambo! Little ladies! Uncle! Hello! A childish but crisp childish voice rang out beside them.
"Little one, why did you come here and not play with your parents, or with the little ones in the village. What are you doing here? ”
"Uncle Ray, this little guy caught the Rainbow Fish. Ying Xiaoxiao didn't wait for Han Yu to answer Shanbo's question, and pointed loudly at the little guy and said to Manager Lei.
Manager Lei looked at Han Yu, huh? I didn't feel anything special. "Hee-hee, Sambo!" "Rainbow Fish" has been cooked, and I came here to tell you about it. ”
"Well, that's right. Okay, good...... Then get ready for a taste of tonight's treasures. Shanbo stood up, "Let's be quiet, the "Rainbow Fish" has been cooked, please find a good place to sit down, our "Rainbow Fish" feast is about to begin, and we are about to taste the treasures. ”
After a while, a pot of delicious fish soup was placed on each table, and everyone had a bowl of fragrant soup in front of them, faintly full of colorful light, even if they smelled the overflowing aroma, the whole person could be refreshed.
