"Huh? Today's fish fillet soup is particularly fresh and sweet. It must be a delicacy I have never tasted before. Where did you get it?" Deep in the Flower Pavilion in Flowing Light City, the Land of Shadows, I saw Boom waiting to put the fish in the bowl.
After slurping up the soup, I smacked it in my mouth a few times before I asked with a smile.
Although Boom has no special requirements for food, as long as it can fill his stomach, he can also distinguish between good and bad food.
However, due to Rikka's exquisite cooking skills, Boom has long been numb to most food. Therefore, this also proves from the side that the fish fillet soup that night was different. It was not a demonstration of superb cooking skills, but the ingredients themselves.
The quality was so amazing to him.
"Hehe, it tastes delicious. If it tastes good, eat more. There are still many."
"I heard that this fish was recently discovered by fishermen in the Northern Rock Sea. It is said that because it has lived in the cold sea since childhood, its body is born with a trace of water psychic power, and its taste is stronger than many fish.
Delicious."
"This is a small gift given to us by the envoy of the Principality of Cambay. Now both Tiegou Island and Crab Island belong to the Principality of Cambay. There is no problem in eating as much as you want in the future."
When Rikka heard Boom praising her cooking skills, she smiled as brightly as the sun. Then the little girl started to introduce the "blue scale barracuda" in a gibberish voice, but except for Christine, who was a vegetarian, everyone else
However, my companions were busy eating and had no interest in learning about a fish.
On the other side of the world, a large fishing boat just happened to unload its anchor. After the ship was completely stable, it quickly threw huge nets into the distance.
"Brother, how many blue-scaled barracudas can we catch this time? The price of this thing is ridiculously high now. It can be sold for five gold coins per pound. I heard that even so, many people can't eat it." "The fish are all gathering here. Whether I can get a wife this year depends entirely on you. The more the better. As long as you come, I promise to drag them all back."
This was a fisherman in his twenties. After he tied the rope firmly, he walked to the captain's side with a playful smile.
Nowadays, Tiegou Island is showing signs of rising again because of the blue-scaled barracuda. At least the lives of the people on the island are no longer as difficult as before, and they no longer have to worry about three meals a day.
On the contrary, many people have become rich by catching a large number of blue-scaled barracudas. Looking at the brand-new small buildings where others live and the kind of prosperous life, who can not be tempted?
"You are so young, but you are only thinking about getting a wife."
"I have said many times that blue-scaled barracuda is not a social creature, so the catch every time it goes to sea varies greatly, or it may be said that it all depends on luck."
"There's another thing you may not know. 'Five gold coins' per pound is the purchase price of the Principality of Cambay. I learned from a bard that blue-scaled barracuda can be sold for every pound."
The high price of twenty gold coins."
"After all, the number of blue-scaled barracudas is too rare, and the wealthy people outside care more about the taste than paying a few gold coins for it."
The captain is a strong man in his thirties, and his dark complexion proves that he has many years of experience in fishing at sea. In fact, why did he not hope to catch a few more blue-scaled barracudas? After all, his wife has been
She was about to give birth. If he didn't want his family to live a better life, he would never go out to sea to fish at this time.
However, catching blue-scaled barracuda can only rely on luck. If you cast a net, you will catch as much as you can. Sometimes there are more than three to five pounds, and sometimes there are not even one.
But even so, countless large and small fishing boats leave Tiegou Island every day. After all, as long as they can catch even two or three lazy barracudas with one net, then the trip will be considered to be in vain.
The captain seemed to have pretty good luck today. At least before the sun set, there were already twelve pounds of blue-scaled barracuda on the boat. The young fishermen were talking and laughing, and seemed very satisfied with today's harvest, while the captain was silent.
Controlling the direction of the fishing boat, his eyes have already been set on Tiegou Island.
At midnight that day, accompanied by a series of baby cries, the captain finally gave birth to his own child. The baby boy was born with his eyes open, and his eyes were as deep as the sea of rocks and as quiet as the night. p>
"Congratulations to both of you, this is a healthy child. David, what a nice name. The gods wish him to grow up healthily in the future."
The speaker is one of the few scholars on Tiegou Island today. Because of the cruel methods used by the Principality of Cambay back then, there are very few professionals who can still survive today.
And just like this scholar, even the surviving professionals are not merciful in the Principality of Cambay, but they disdain to attack junior professionals.
But what is different from ordinary junior professionals is that this scholar has served as a tester for the Secret Law Principality for more than thirty years. Although his strength is not very good, his vision is sharper than many high-level professionals.
"It's just...this baby boy is a little weird. First of all, he opened his eyes right after he was born, and secondly, I vaguely sensed a wave of water psychic power."
"It's a pity. If this situation happened in the past, it would be easy to test it through the magic crystal. But now I can only say that the second son has the talent to become a professional. As for the talent, it is impossible to guess."<
/p>
After saying this, the scholar took the few gold coins handed over by the other party, then turned around and left. The husband was a little excited when he heard this. After all, his ancestors had never had any professionals, so his son would be a little junior ant in the future.
He felt very relieved.
On the contrary, the pale wife said that those things were not important. After all, in the eyes of a mother, the greatest feeling is that her children can live healthily. It is best to marry a beautiful girl as soon as possible, then everything will be perfect. That night, while the husband was describing the blue-scaled barracuda he had caught to his wife, he carefully fed her expensive psychic potion.
The wife complained a few times. After all, her husband was just an ordinary fisherman. Even though he owned his own fishing boat, his life was not very rich. And a small bottle of spiritual potion that replenished blood and replenished Qi cost a full thirty gold coins.
, but where can you enjoy such luxury goods casually?
But love and satisfaction always appeared in the wife's eyes. She felt that she had not married the wrong person, let alone her husband's character.
The couple chatted in low voices, ranging from psychic potions to thick chicken soup, from rubbing their toes to carefully closing the mosquito net. It seemed that the night owls couldn't bear to disturb them, so the night was silent.
But no one saw that the baby boy named David woke up at some point. He was neither crying nor fussing, and he was stretching out his pink hands, as if he was planning to grab something.
Afterwards, little blue light spots appeared around the body of the baby boy David, and those light spots eventually poured into his body.
A natural water magician, so gifted that he has reached the level of a junior professional from the moment he was born. If this kind of genius were placed in the outside world, they would be carefully cultivated by the superiors. After all, this kind of guy,
The possibility of reaching the pinnacle in the future is extremely high.
But today's Tiegou Island has long been reduced to a large fishing port affiliated to the Principality of Cambay. People living here can only live well by going out to sea to fish.
Hey, hey! Little David seemed to be fine, as if those blue light spots had disappeared somewhere, and he waved his little hand unintentionally. I saw some water psychic power condensed instantly, and a water ball with a diameter of half a meter appeared above the crib.
Rupture.
The couple who had already fallen asleep were awakened by the sound of crying. The husband was at a loss to change the bedding for his son. He was curious about how a little baby could pee like this.
The wife leaned on the bed, pursed her lips and smiled softly. She thought this was the most beautiful scene she had ever seen, but she did not pay attention to anything unusual. In other words, she was an ordinary person and could not sense any psychic fluctuations at all.
