The old boatman had never eaten tofu before, and it was worth a little resistant to such a clean thing. However, he didn't dare to eat high-quality fish and meat. He couldn't eat rice alone, which felt wrong, so he boldly picked up a piece of tofu, but after he picked it up several times, it fell into the pot, which made him feel embarrassed to continue doing this for a while, so he could only lower his head and dial the rice.

It's ridiculous to say that his family is in such a fish and rice country, but he has never eaten rice in his life because he doesn't have so much food and doesn't have so much thoughts. Drinking porridge is the greatest expectation and hope. A little more heavy rice porridge is a way to commit evil. If some messy things are added to the rice porridge, it is actually improving life. As for pure white rice porridge, he has never drunk it once.

He didn't finish all the big cake that Ye Tan gave him, but ate one-fifth of it. He was reluctant to let it go, and always felt that he could send it home with the opportunity so that the people at home could also taste this big cake that had never been so soft.

Ye Tan picked up a piece of it with chopsticks and put it in a bowl, then picked up a piece of milky white fish on it, and said with a smile, "This white one is called tofu, it's a bit hot, be careful."

After saying that, he also picked up a piece of fish head meat. This kind of silver carp head, which is not polluted and huge, really tastes great, especially the soup in it, and the rice is really delicious. Unfortunately, he likes the stronger ones even more. When he lifted the pot for the second time, he added a lot of good wine and a little salt. He only started to season before the last high heat after the pot was opened.

Sucking the salt on the tofu made the old boatman want to swallow his tongue, not to mention that this tofu suitable for both young and old is as smooth as eating milk in his mouth. He slowly and little by little, then scattered the rice vigorously, and one-third of the rice was gone in one breath.

After he ate three pieces of tofu and two pieces of fish, he had already eaten two bowls of rice. This was a sea bowl, and one bowl was about one pound, which was surprising, and Ye Tan did not eat much less. Anyway, the two of them ate more than half of the fish in a pot of twenty pounds, and the fish meat was on it. The tofu had been eaten all of them, which made the old boatman keep saying things like doing evil, which made Ye Tan shook his head and said nothing.

People are prone to sleepiness after eating, so after eating, the old boatman was frightened to wash the dishes and chopsticks. After putting them down, he also sneaked to his bed to rest. He was worried that he would accidentally spit the dishes and chopsticks, and that things he had never seen before might kill his life.

After lunch, the person's spirit was stimulated by the slightly warm sunlight and didn't want to move at all.

Ye Tan lay there and stared for a while, but she fell asleep. The old boatman didn't dare to sleep, but he couldn't stand the feeling of comfort after having enough food. He fell asleep as well.

The afternoon autumn wind in Dongting Lake always disappears inadvertently. The reeds and weeds that were pressed by the wind have stood up and come, densely packed, like a large forest with trees not tall. If you stand outside, you just see a reed land, but if you walk in and are not familiar with the road, you may not be able to get out.

Dongting Lake is a freshwater lake. In the past, there were as many reeds as wild game. Of course, in peaceful years, this was the treasure land of the hearts of people living in the surrounding areas. During the war, it became a straw field for cutting their lives. The endless reeds provided them with a natural balance.

The autumn wind stopped, and the sunlight in the sky was slanted, with a faint pale pale. If a person with long hair in white clothes emerged from the water at this time, whether men or women, would be considered ghosts. On this small island, the fish bones on the ground and the pots and pans with a little warmth seemed particularly out of place, because this place should be an ordinary place that even wild beasts didn't like to stay.

But just when Ye Tan and others were asleep, a monkey jumped out of somewhere. It was a domesticated monkey because there were signs of bells hanging on its neck. However, now only a small tuft of hair was squeezed to both sides. It ran from somewhere. The yellow hair was really unable to see any potential of the monkey king. It just felt extremely thin, but very flexible. As soon as it fell down, it made a sound from its mouth. Looking around, it did not notice any movement in the people in the room. So when its eyes turned, it became energetic. It had just walked a few steps towards the stove, but it couldn't help but screaming a small scream, but did not wake Ye Tan and others.

At the place where they just discarded the fish bones, a big brown cat was tasting the delicious food there. Although it was thin, its muscles were developed. Its strong and strong front paws directly grabbed a big bone and gnawed it. Hearing footsteps, he looked up and saw that his eyes, which had been a bit contracting due to the strength of the light, shot out a strange light in an instant, which scared the little monkey and couldn't help but take a few steps back. However, it did not leave because the big cat continued to lower its head to eat. In such a season and in such an environment, it was not easy for you to have a good meal, whether it was a human or an animal.

Sometimes monkeys are like children. They are smarter and full of pranks. The little monkey looked at it for a while and then picked up a branch from the ground and threw it over, then quickly ran back a few steps. However, the big cat ignored it at all and continued to eat.

After a while, the little monkey ran back, tried again, and ran again. After three times, it found that the big cat had eaten several of the bones in front of it, so it didn't care much about it. It reached out and walked slowly to the stove, reached out and opened the lid of the casserole. When it saw the things inside, it grabbed a handful and put them in its mouth. At the same time, it looked around vigilantly, as if it was a thief.

However, after a while, after taking a few bites, it smelled the fragrance in the iron pot. It couldn't help but put the lid of the casserole aside, and then opened the lid with difficulty. There was still half a foot of fish and fish soup inside. At this time, it was still slight heat. When it saw this, it couldn't help but reach out and grab it, but let it go because it was a little hot. As a result, a piece of fish fell directly to the ground, which scared it and took a few steps back.

The sound also woke up the big cat. Its sense of smell was very good. After smelling the fragrance, it naturally would not eat bones there. So it ran over and shocked the little monkey, took a few steps back, and made a whirring sound of food protection in its mouth. Then, taking advantage of the moment when the monkey was not paying attention, it picked up the fish meat, ran away, and soon disappeared into the reed marsh.

The little monkey made a few squeaks, not sure whether it was because the big cat was too stingy or there were too many things. He put his head closer to the iron pot again. Seeing that there were still a lot of things inside, he scratched his head, as if he was trying to find a way to take these things away.

Suddenly, a rapid whistle came from outside. The little monkey turned around and ran away. After a while, he came back. However, he took a few mouthfuls of the umami on his hands, and then took out a leather backpack from behind like a human, then put the remaining rice and fish into it, and turned around and ran away.

When everything around him was silent again, the old boatman's voice came, "Young Master, why do you want it to slander things?"

"Do you think it lives by yourself or is raised by someone?" Ye Tan asked with a smile when he let go of the old boatman's mouth. It seemed that he had seen everything just now.

"It must be someone raised, otherwise such a small monkey would not be able to survive here, and it should be raised by a child, because such a small monkey would not be able to take much, and could only support a few children." When the old boatman said this, he was a little worried because someone seemed to have discovered this place, and then he and Ye Tan would not be able to be directly taken by others.

"Young Master, why don't we leave here."

"Haha, why are you afraid?" Ye Tan stood up and looked at the falling food on the ground and couldn't help but ask.

"It's fake to say you're not afraid of it, but you don't lack food and drink. Why do you come here? Is it to experience life?"

The old boatman smiled awkwardly and said, "For a young man like Ye Tan, he didn't know that other people's lifestyles are different from their own."

"You, you, okay, don't worry, we will leave in two days."

Ye Tan looked at the deep reed marsh not far away and couldn't help but say with emotion.

"Okay." The old boatman touched the money on his chest and the big cake that Ye Tan gave him before. He was not afraid of death, but he was worried that his things could not be sent home.

"Clean up here, I'll find something to eat." Ye Tan said, pointing to everything that was messed up on the ground, then picked up a piece of wood and put it on the water and went out. As a result, when he turned around, he saw the old boatman putting the scattered rice and meat on the ground into the pot, and he couldn't help but frown, "Don't throw all those, clean the place quickly, and wash the pots and pans, and wait for me to come back."

"Ah? I threw it all away?" When the old boatman wanted to ask Ye Tan what he was, the other party was gone, so he could only sigh and sweep the things aside. However, the man was still a little brainy and didn't throw them away. The weather is so cold now that things are not easy for a while. So he found a dry place, put all these things on the stone, and then stood on the water to wash the iron pot and other items very clean, and waited for Ye Tan to come back.

When he stepped on the wooden board, although there was a breeze around him, the place with water was the greatest peace for Ye Tan. Who could kill him here? He still had to thank the other party.

As if someone was pushing it, the wooden board slowly passed through the long narrow waterway, and then saw a round lake with reeds around it. It can be said that it was just a small star in the reed marsh. When Ye Tan just arrived there, he couldn't help laughing.

Because many of the things here are ready-made, looking at a large area of ​​withered lotus leaves, Ye Tan knew that there must be lotus roots underneath. There are not many people eating this kind of thing now, and they mainly don't know how to make it. However, it's not a big deal for him. When the wooden board came to the center of the lotus pond, he found that there were some small things moving below. Ye Tan couldn't help but be even happier. There were river clams and rosy lions. This kind of thing tasted good, but the earthy smell was a little bit heavy. But he had a way. After walking back and forth on the wooden board for a few times, he stopped at a very tall reed, then pulled out a knife to split it directly, and then crossed it a few times, and it became a shrimp basket. Then he began to place it according to the place where he felt before. The water was generally not deep in the places with lotus, and the nutrients were good. As for whether it was fertilized after death or something else, it was not important.

After fiddling with the thing, Ye Tan stood on the wooden board and slowly started digging lotus roots with a long stick. It was a little earlier than in winter, but he just wanted to eat it, so he quickly dug out five or six lotus roots with arms length and thickness. Because they are wild, the surface is not white, but brown. This is the skin. After scraping it clean, it will become white.

Then he moved around with a stick, making the water around suddenly turbid. Of course, the place where the shrimp basket was placed did not move, and he had just put some things inside, but the area here was not large. Apart from the two exits around, the reeds above were natural barriers or fishing, so soon, many fish heads appeared here.

When Ye Tan was young, he once did this in a neighbor's fish pond. As long as it was turbid and the area was not large enough, no matter it was a big fish or a small fish, they would stick their heads out to breathe. After all, the oxygen content in the water is not too high, and with all kinds of soil flying, the taste is not very good. Now it is autumn, and the oxygen content in the water has also begun to decrease due to temperature. Therefore, when he started to muddle the water here, all kinds of fish came out.

Many mountains and rivers in ancient times were the source of treasures. This kind of treasure was not precious, but large amounts.

After he set up more than ten large river clams and hundreds of snails, many tricky fish began to jump up. This is a fish that is easy to die if it comes out of water, but has a very good taste. It is not big, but the meat is delicious. If there is chili, it will definitely be delicious. However, it doesn't matter if it doesn't exist now. He has some solutions.

When Ye Tan caught more than 50 tricky fish, two big catfish, and four or five silver carp with more than 20 kilograms, the things on the wooden board were almost piled up. He slowly paddled the wooden board to the place where he had just finished the shrimp cage and lifted it up. Without looking at it, you could feel that it was filled with green shrimps, and there was also a big golden eel weighing at least three kilograms.

Ye Tan, who had returned home with a full load, threw five yellow and orange diced fish that had just been caught directly when she was passing by a grass nest. As a result, a big noise came from inside. The big cat who had just stolen fish was frightened. However, when she saw those yellow diced fish, she grabbed and bitten it to death because it had a small nest there. In addition to it, there was another big cat as white as jade, and five kittens of five colors waiting to be eaten.

The biggest feature of Huang Ding is its good meat quality, because it is a carnivorous fish, which is stronger and sweeter than ordinary fish. However, because of this, the bones on its body are not something that ordinary people can bear. Ye Tan was once pricked when he was young, and it felt sour and numb, which was not easy to feel.

Unfortunately, big cats don’t care about these things nowadays, and they are experts in fish eating. When the weather is hot, they also enter the water like a dragon. So, they jumped over and bit the fish that wanted to jump back. At the same time, they made a whimpering sound in their mouths, warning the fish that you are dead.

There may be only a dozen kittens in the grass nest. I just learned to leave. I had almost eaten the fish that the big cat stole from Ye Tan before. It was not that I didn’t want to give it to the white female cat, but she couldn’t eat it.

Why? After the kitten crawled out of the nest, you can see a long bloody thing under the belly of the female cat. You can tell at a glance that something happened when giving birth to the kitten. It was a situation where the things inside the lower body were made. If no one helped, it would die in the end, so it didn't move at all. In addition, it ate little, so it was very little milk. Before, it could give five kittens some milk, but now it is gone, so it is completely reasonable to go out to grab things.

Originally, it was normal for two cats to prey, but now there is only one. I have to say that this intensity has also increased a lot.

The kitten was about to approach a yellow dice, but the big cat directly swept it aside, then took the yellow dice that had been bitten to death, which had been exposed, and put it to the white cat, and let it eat it, because if it doesn't eat it, it will definitely be dead.

The white cat might have known this and ate all the fish directly, but the yellow diced sap was generally not big, so it was not full at all. However, the brown big cat did not continue to give it to her, but then bit the rest to death and hung it on a half-human-high short tree. Then he drove all the kittens back, licked their claws and did not eat meat.

Ye Tan didn't know everything about this, so he didn't know even more about the little monkey running back.

At this time, the little monkey was running around, with a copper bell hanging on its neck, and the sound was very good. It was surrounded by a small house made of wood. In addition to two dirty little dolls, there was only an old woman, who was lying there motionless. The girl among the two little dolls looked at the things in the black pottery and said to her brother, "Eat so much today, and eat it tomorrow."

"Oh." The little doll swallowed the saliva nodded sensibly. The food I just ate tasted so good.

"Don't tell others, do you know?" The girl looked around and said in a low voice. There were few people here, but they were even more ferocious.

The little boy wrapped his body with the clothes filled with reeds and thatch nodded, rubbed his dirty fingers and said, "Sister, I'm not saying anything."

"Xiao Nan, you're so good. Go out and have something to do. My sister has to do." The girl's fingers were as dirty as she rubbed her younger brother's head, and then she went out with a tattered wooden basin. Grandma was in poor health and needed to wipe her body.

Xiaonan nodded and went out to play with the monkey. Unfortunately, after searching for a while, he still couldn't find it.

However, if you stand at the door of their house, you will find that this place is simply a village. All the houses in their houses are everywhere, not big or high, and the people inside are similar.

Just as Xiaonan was looking for his monkeys in confusion, he suddenly heard a burst of rapid bells and the little monkey's tragic screams. He couldn't help but feel anxious and ran over to take a look.

After eating a little, the little monkey was in a good mood. It had done oil on his hands and it took a long time. So, it happily found some people in the village. After touching his head with his paws, it seemed to have discovered something. So he thought of a way and grabbed it. Then several children licked its palms respectively. The fragrance of rice and fish soup made the children feel very good. One of the little fat guys looked at the little monkey's palm, which had oil on it, and couldn't help but grab it on its neck and asked, "Tell me, whose family did you steal?"

The monkey naturally couldn't speak, but felt that the little baby who was not good to him suddenly became fierce. He couldn't help but want to pull out his palm, but found that it was not possible at all, so he could only scream.

"What are you doing? Why do you treat Xiao Jin like this?" Xiao Nan hurried over and pushed the fat man, shouting angrily. This is how the anger between the children became.

"Xiao Nan, did you eat meat at home?" Xiaopangdun's father is the leader of this poor village and has almost no special skills. However, when the weather is good, he will still make some delicious food for his son, so he is very familiar with the taste of meat.

"What nonsense is it? My family doesn't have it." Xiaonan's face changed and he defended.

"Hmph, I'll go back and tell me Ada, let's see what you say." Xiaopang threw Xiaojin directly to the ground, turned around and ran away, while Xiaojin quickly ran to Xiaonan's shoulder, looking around in confusion, not knowing what was going on.

When the little girl found some firewood to make a fire and boil water, she found that the house had been flipped through, and all the fish and white rice they had hidden before disappeared. Seeing her, Xiaonan cried directly, "Tie Pang's father is here, saying that we will hide things, and if we don't take them out, we will take them away and slap me."

Looking at the crying brother, the little girl didn't go out to reason, but just had a stiff face to clean up everything around her. It was unreasonable here.

"Young Master, why are you catching this? You can't eat it."

As soon as Ye Tan arrived on the island, he heard the old boatman's words and couldn't help laughing.
Chapter completed!
