When the boat is running, there will be no trouble for Liu Ji and his son. This boat is also the Liu family's own boat. It is not just used to transport medicinal materials. It is used on the Wuling River all year round.
Liu Ji stood on the boat. Next to him stood a boatman. This boatman was actually the captain of the boat and a servant of the Liu family, but his status was not as high as that of Liu Ji. Liu Ji was the son of an expatriate family, and he was also a shopkeeper.
In the Liu family, they were second-class servants, but the captain was only a third-class servant.
But Liu Ji was obviously very familiar with the captain. He looked at the captain and said with a smile: "Xiao Yu'er, you haven't fallen into the river and turned into a fish spirit. It's really surprising to me."
It’s unexpected. Look at your small body. If you run on this river for a few years, don’t let it go to waste.”
The man standing next to Liu Ji was a thin, dark man in his thirties. Perhaps because he had been running on the river all year round, he had dark skin, messy hair, and was only wearing a pair of shorts and a bare upper body.
The feet are bare, but the whole person gives people a very solid feeling.
This man also had a smile on his face, but for some reason, Xiao Hecao always felt uncomfortable when he saw the smile on his face.
The person who Liu Ji called a fish, when he heard what Liu Ji said, he laughed and said: "I said Fatty Liu, you are not beautiful. Even if you don't think you are fat, you are puffy. If it really counts,
Get up, your body, Fatty Liu, is not as good as mine."
Liu Jihaha knew it well: "I mean, Xiao Yu'er, don't just pick and choose. If you are asked to sit in my position, you may not be able to sit in my position."
Xiao Yu'er chuckled and said: "I don't want to sit in your seat, I just like to run on the boat. It's so nice to be on this boat every day. When I have nothing to do, I can sing a few songs and have a few drinks on this boat with my brothers.
Xiaojiu, as long as nothing happens to the ship, it will be a day like a fairy, and only ghosts will be in your position. By the way, why do you have two children today? I heard that you have a child again? What? Could it be?
You said that you have secretly given birth to two more children in the past few years since you came to Green City?"
"Fuck you. Do I have to live an honorable life and have to live a secret life? These two little guys are nothing special. They are the children and nephews of Tian Niu brothers here in Green City. The door manager was in Green City in the past two years.
When we were here, we were very close to these two children. Now that the door manager has returned to his hometown, he always misses these two children. Brother Tian Niu asked these two children to visit the door manager. I said you can take good care of them.
Otherwise, the doorkeeper will scold you."
Xiao Yu'er obviously knows who the door manager is. Although the door manager is now the manager of the outer door, he has a lot of power. He is also one of the few first-class servants in the Liu family, and his status is very high.
Xiao Yu'er nodded and said: "Since you are here to see the door manager, I will naturally take good care of you. Fatty Liu, I think your boy is pretty good. After two years of hard training, he will be a good player in the future."
Liu Ji smiled slightly and said: "He's still far away. Don't look at how powerful he is now. He still has a lot to learn. Come on, don't talk about him. Let's go. We brothers also have a relationship.
We haven’t seen each other for a while, how about we go have a drink?”
Xiao Yu'er laughed loudly and said: "Of course that's good. I've been prepared for it for a long time. Today and last night, I went down to the river specially and fished out a big fish, just in time to have a nice drink with you."
Liu Jihaha knew it: "Brother, you are still thinking of me. You also know that brother, I like to have a sip of fresh fish soup. Let's go, let's go and have a drink." After that, the two of them walked towards the cabin.
Xiao Yu'er glanced at Liu Shun who was standing aside and said, "Shunzi, come with me. I've already learned my skills from your father, so why don't you drink?"
Liu Shun didn't dare to move and turned to look at Liu Ji. Liu Ji nodded and said, "Come here and bring Bao'er and Yu'er with them. They came out on the grass and didn't eat anything good even if they thought about it.
Come and have a few sips of fish soup with them." Liu Shun agreed and went into the cabin to find Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er.
Xiao Yu'er looked at Liu Ji with some confusion and said: "I said, Fatty Liu, what are you doing? We should drink quickly. Why did you ask people to pick up those two children? What a spoiler.
.”
Liu Ji chuckled and said: "Brother, to tell you the truth, I really like these two children, especially the Hecao child. That child is really smart. In my opinion, that child's future achievements will definitely exceed
That boy from our family."
Xiao Yu'er rolled his eyes and said: "Aren't you talking nonsense? That boy is a soul planter. Although he is just a grass soul planter, if he learns it well, he can also become a pharmacist. People like you and me, after meeting him
Everyone must salute."
Liu Ji shook his head and said: "I'm not talking about the gap in souls. You should know that it is not easy for a grass soul planter to get ahead, but this kid Xiao Hecao is indeed extraordinary.
He is very calm and talented at a young age. To be honest, if such a child cannot become successful in the future, it would really be unreasonable."
But Xiao Yu'er chuckled and said: "Brother Liu, you are exaggerating. In the Liu family, you and I have not seen enough young geniuses who have accomplished nothing when they grow up? How can you be sure?
Is this child sure to be able to make a difference?"
Liu Ji looked at Xiao Yu'er's appearance, smiled slightly and said, "Brother, you will know when you see the child." After saying that, he followed Xiao Yu'er into the cabin without saying anything.
For a ship that carries cargo like this, the living space in the cabin is not very large, but there is still some space in the cargo cabin. Although there is some medicinal smell, it does not affect people's eating. There is a small table now.
, there were several side dishes on the table, and in the middle of the table, there was a big fish. This big fish probably weighed five or six kilograms. It was very conspicuous when it was placed on the table.
Xiao Yuer asked Liu Ji to sit down, took out a jar of wine from the side, and said to Liu Ji: "Fat Liu, come here, try the wine on my boat and see how it tastes."
Liu Ji laughed loudly and said: "Xiao Yu'er, don't be greedy for me. Who doesn't know that the wine on your boat is all good stuff. It is specially prepared for you by the family. Without this wine, your small body would be useless."
"You can withstand the wind and waves on the river." Liu Ji is really right. The Liu family takes great care of Xiao Yu'er and the other boatmen. The wine given to them is all specially prepared medicinal wine, which can dispel the wind.
Because of the cold, otherwise people who are always running around will easily get rheumatism.
Xiao Yu'er laughed loudly and said: "It's good to know. Now you are envious. What's the point of being a shopkeeper like that? You have to fight about money every day. Compared to us. It's really...
Not even close."
Liu Ji laughed and did not refute. Xiao Yu'er was not born to do business. He just liked running boats. His father had been running boats all his life. Not long after Xiao Yu'er was born, he let him
My father was carried onto the boat, and he would never be able to leave the boat for the rest of his life.
Liu Ji looked at the sky and said in a deep voice: "Brother, I'm not talking about you. If we look like this tonight, we're probably going to go to Devil's Beach. Don't drink too much and make things worse. Then the family will blame you.
, then it’s my brother who has harmed you.”
Xiao Yu'er smiled and said: "Brother, you can drink it with confidence. I know it well. There has been some unrest at Devil's Beach recently, but it doesn't matter. I am here to ensure that everything is safe and sound along the way."
While talking, Liu Shun had already led Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er in from the outside. As soon as Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er entered the cabin, they immediately saluted Liu Ji and said, "I've met Uncle Liu."
Liu Ji laughed loudly and said: "Bao'er, Yu'er, come on, I've seen your uncle Liu Yu, and this is the fish your uncle Liu Yu caught specially for you."
Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er turned their heads and saluted Liu Yu in unison: "I've met Uncle Liu Yu, thank you Uncle Liu Yu."
Liu Yu has been observing the little crane grass. He just wants to see what kind of child he is. Liu Ji praises him so much that there are few in the world. Now when he sees the little crane grass, Liu Yu is stunned.
He couldn't help but nod secretly, he bowed politely, his eyes were steady, and he had an aura of maturity that didn't match his age, which was really rare.
Liu Yu waved his hand and said: "That's all, no need to be polite, come here and have a sip of fish soup." The two of them responded and sat down at the table with Liu Shun. Liu Shun filled a bowl of fish soup for each of them.
, this fish soup is stewed with the water in the river. It is the so-called original soup and original food. River fish is stewed in the river water. The fish stewed with the water in the river has a unique taste.
Even though Liu Yu and the others were walking on this river, one would think that they would dislike the unclean water of the river. In fact, it was just the opposite. They were very fond of the river water. They believed that the river water was living water and the cleanest water.
Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er each drank a bowl of fresh soup. They felt that the fish soup was much better than the fish soup they made at home. Xiao Yu'er finished the bowl quickly and asked Liu Shun to serve another bowl.
, on the contrary, it was the little crane grass. I drank a bowl of fish soup very slowly, and I didn’t fill it up after I finished drinking it.
Liu Yu, who had been observing the little crane grass, looked at the little crane grass in confusion and said: "Your name is crane grass, right? Crane grass? Isn't this fish soup delicious? Why don't you drink it anymore?"
Xiaohecao shook his head and said: "It tastes good. This fish soup is very delicious. However, my nephew has already eaten sooner or later and is not hungry yet, so he doesn't want to eat more. Uncle Liuyu, please forgive me."
Liu Yu nodded and said: "Okay, if you don't want to drink more, then go and have fun by yourself."
Xiao Hecao shook his head and said: "I want to stay with sister Yu'er here. Sister Yu'er is still young. If she is left here alone, she will be scared."
Liu Yu couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard what Xiao Hecao said. Then he nodded and said: "You can take care of your sister at such a young age. He is such a good boy. Hecao, how old are you today? You have entered school.
?”
Xiao Hecao said respectfully: "My nephew will be seven years old soon. He has been studying since he was five years old. He has graduated and returned home half a year ago. He is preparing to study pharmacology with the pharmacist in Green City."
Liu Yu nodded and said: "I see, what did you learn when you were in school? Can you tell your uncle?" Although Liu Yu looks like a rough man who only knows how to run boats, when he talks, he
, but he is a bit literate, and he has obviously gone to school. Now that he is asking Xiaohecao these things, he is obviously trying to teach Xiaohecao.
When Liu Ji saw Liu Yu's test of Xiaohecao, a strange smile appeared on his face. He was very aware of Xiaohecao's talent. Liu Yu might have hit a brick wall this time.
