Elaborate on the world of mortals

Chapter 132
On the narrow kitchen deck at the stern, Yang Bencai put the fish in his hand on the ground.

This koi seemed to have finally realized that it was going to be killed. It jumped up and down twice except for opening and closing its mouth occasionally, but was held down by Yang Bencai, who used the blade of a kitchen knife to hit the fish's forehead heavily " Papa~" took two shots.

This time the fish didn't move at all, as if it was fainted by the shot.

Then Yang Ben just wiped the belly of the fish with the blade, but it didn't cut open, and after another wipe, it still didn't cut open.

"Huh? Is this knife blunt?"

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

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

"Brother Yang, I think it's better to forget it. This fish looks weird to me. Even if the knife is a little blunt, it won't be impossible to cut open."

Yang Bencai saw that the fish was still not moving, so he should have been killed by the knife.

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

After speaking, Yang Bencai pressed the body of the fish again to dissect the belly of the fish, but this time the fish suddenly trembled.

"Hiss"

Yang Bencai put down the knife and covered his hands, a cut was made under his thumb, and blood continued to flow out, dripping onto the deck and onto the koi.

"Flick, bang, bang"

The koi will start to jump on the deck, and Yi Shuyuan can clearly see that the blood dripping on the fish is also sucked into the mouth of the carp during this process.

"Hey, brother Yang, your fish"

Yi Shuyuan reminded at the side that Yang Bencai saw that the fish was jumping and jumping and was about to reach the wooden fence. He subconsciously wanted to hold it down, but it was a step too late.

With a sound of "Plop~", the fish has jumped back into the water.

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

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

"Three or two"

Yang Bencai wanted to cry, but when he looked at his hands, he was even more sad. He threw three liang of silver into the water, and his hand was cut open.

An elderly boatman came by, and he also wanted to prepare dinner. He shook his head and said as if he saw the fish escape.

"Like this kind of fish, I used to run the boat and catch them and release them. It's fine if they escape."

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

"Old man, didn't you say that eating koi has a bright future?"

"I don't know when it was reported that I was lucky to eat, and I haven't seen a few well-developed ones!"

As soon as the old boatman said this, he also put the big fat fish in his hand on the deck, slapped it unconscious with a kitchen knife, and cut open the fish to remove the dirty parts, which was much more agile than Yang Bencai.

"You two younger sons, if you really want to eat fish, come to my place to eat."

"how much is it?"

Yang Bencai asked this question, feeling that everything on this boat needs money.

But the old boatman smiled and looked at Yi Shuyuan.

"I just wanted to buy this fish and release it for this young man, so I will treat you to this meal."

"Hey, that's settled! But he is definitely not releasing life, I just bought it first and said so."

"Thank you, old man."

Yi Shuyuan also smiled and cupped his hands. He did not refute Yang Bencai, but turned his head to look at the water surface at the stern. The fish seemed to be still nearby.
-
The sky was getting dark, and everyone on the big boat was cooking. Although the cooking was done in one place, there were several waves of food and people.

Except for some passengers who brought their own rations to settle themselves in the cargo warehouse under the front end, there were also three waves of hot meals.

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

As for Yi Shuyuan and Yang Bencai, the old boatman who was working together, there were only seven people in total including them.

The inner warehouse was occupied by the party with more people, and Yi Shuyuan and others ate by the galley at the stern. Although it was ventilated on three sides, at least there was a roof over the head, so there was no need to worry about rain.

And the dishes are put in the pot, and there is charcoal in the stove below. A pot of pickled vegetables is stewed with fat heads. The dishes are always steaming, and it is warm to look at.

"Ho, hiss. Yummy, ho"

Yang Bencai's hands were already wrapped, and it would not be inconvenient at all. He put the hot fish in his mouth, and he gasped from the heat, but he still said it was delicious.

Yi Shuyuan blows and blows the fish into his mouth, and he also feels that it is very delicious, especially in this environment and atmosphere, which makes the taste more prominent.

"Hey, isn't it good? Uncle Meng has been sailing for many years, and his craftsmanship is not built."

"The old man is very skilled!" "That's right, it's delicious!"

Yi Shuyuan and Yang Bencai praised each other successively, making the old boatman who cooks smile all over his face, and the other four boatmen also laughed, each serving vegetables and grilled rice.

"In this cold weather, you have to eat a warm meal to be comfortable!"

“Unfortunately no wine”

The old boatman sighed.

After hearing this, Yi Shuyuan thought for a while, then smiled freely.

"Whoever says no, I have it, wait a moment, I'll get it!"

"Really?"

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

"Brother Yi, hurry up, how can such a big fish be gone!"

Yi Shuyuan nodded and smiled, got up and put the bowls 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 go down into the warehouse, but stretched out his hand, and the treasure gourd, which was already gathering stars and moonlight at the top of the mast, flew down and was caught in his hand.

Yi Shuyuan slipped out the folding fan from his sleeve and unfolded it. He poured some wine from the gourd and poured it directly on the fan. into the fan.

After falling a little, Yi Shuyuan threw the gourd again and flew back to the top of the mast. He tossed the folding fan in his hand slightly and then stretched out his hand. When the folding fan fell, it fell into his palm and became a column White porcelain wine bottle.

The people eating at the stern waited for a short time before seeing Yi Shuyuan walking back with a small wine bottle in his hand.

"The wine is here~~"

Yi Shuyuan's tone of voice attracted everyone who was working hard.

"Just wait, the wine bowls are ready!"

"Come on, sit down!"

The boatman next to him graciously helped Yi Shuyuan pick up the bowls and chopsticks from the stool, and invited him to sit down.

Yi Shuyuan raised the wine pot after sitting down.

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

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

Everyone took out their containers and used teacups instead of wine glasses.

Yi Shuyuan uncorked the bottle, and immediately a strong aroma of wine wafted out.

"It smells so good, I'm going to get drunk just by smelling it!" "It makes my mouth water!"

"Come on, old man, you come first!" "Oh good!"

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 came here, there was exactly half a glass left.

"Please!" "Please!" "Come and drink!".
Everyone smiled and touched their glasses, and then took a sip carefully, only to feel that the wine was extremely spicy in their mouths, swallowing it like a ball of fire, but it had a sweet aftertaste, and their bodies suddenly became warmer.

After taking a sip of wine, a thin layer of sweat oozes from the forehead of the drinker.

"Good wine!" "This wine is great!" "Yes!"

"Master Yi, isn't this wine cheap?"

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

"Cheap or not, that is, a glass of wine. It doesn't matter the price of the food or the wine."

"Hahahaha, okay, okay, the old man took advantage of my unintentional actions today, thank you son!"

The old boatman knows his goods, this wine is full of stamina and heat, I am afraid it is some expensive medicinal wine!
"Brother Yi, what kind of wine is this?"

Yang Bencai also asked the same question, it is impossible that this kind of wine is not famous.

"Well, it's called Sun Moon Qiankun Wine, but it's brewed by an individual. The brewer said that this wine combines the sun, moon, starlight, and vitality of heaven and earth in one furnace, and is supplemented with precious medicinal materials. It's not easy to drink!"

"Brother Yi, you are talking nonsense."

"Hey, brother Yang, it's the brewer who is lying!"

"Hahaha, anyway, we are all in the honor of Uncle Meng today!" "Yes, hahaha!"

"Come, come, eat and drink!"

The not-so-violent fire turned everyone's faces red, it was unknown whether it was because of the charcoal fire or the power of the wine.

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

At this time, someone from the inner cabin went out through the front door, stood on the fence on the deck, and urinated into the river.

The laughing and laughing people at the stern seemed to be eating very lively.

Suddenly, the peeing person shook violently, quickly got off the railing, looked at the river, and could vaguely see a vague white shadow floating in the middle of the river.

"oops!"

The person who peed was so frightened that he let out a low cry and rushed back into the cabin.

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

"Call. Call. Come. Where is it. Show up quickly."

At this moment, beside the big boat, in the small inlet where the boatmen used to fish, 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 aura floated towards the center of the river like white smoke invisible to the naked eye in some of the surrounding ships.

At the stern of the big ship, the bodies of the people who had been drinking were hot for a while. In Yi Shuyuan's eyes, their anger rose for a while, and there was no other influence.

But strands of white aura drifted away from other places on the ship.

Inhaling Yang Qi!

"You guys eat, I'll go and relieve myself!"

Yi Shuyuan suddenly opened his mouth to relieve himself.

"Hurry up, hurry up, there will be no food later!"

"must!"

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

When there was no one around, Yi Shuyuan looked at the center of the river, and another white shadow with disheveled hair was moving in the mist on the water surface. This white shadow had form and hands, but had no feet or face.

"What is it?"

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

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

"Humph!"

Yi Shuyuan snorted coldly, his left hand had already grasped the foot ruler that had slipped out of his sleeve, and then raised the foot ruler to lightly pat on the railing of the boat.

"Boom—"

There was a loud noise like thunder in the clear sky, echoing in the sky, the thunder broke the evil, and the phantoms on the water instantly collapsed.

Yi Shuyuan frowned and stared at the river, it was indeed a 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 with a few people cursing. He ignored Yi Shuyuan standing here, but walked to the railing and looked at the river.

"What the hell is there?" "Where is it?"

"Oh? It was obvious just now."

"Are you fucking stupid? Suspicion at night, do you think the fog is a ghost?"

"Young master, have you seen a ghost?"

Yi Shuyuan glanced at the man, shook his head and said nothing.

Those few people went back cursing again.

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

"Is it looking for you?"

On the water surface beside the boat, a red shadow gradually emerged, spitting bubbles towards the water surface, his eyes did not look like fish at all, looking at the long-haired man protruding above the boat, his eyes were full of horror.

Is this person not a mortal?
