Such a big fish?

Yin Zhaoxian and the scholar surnamed Shi were also shocked for a while, and they watched the fisherman lift the pole in a daze.

A bighead carp weighing more than 20 kilograms is half the leg length of an ordinary person, and the visual impact is still there.

"Huh, huh, huh, huh..."

Ji Yuan didn't walk the fish at all, the water beside the awning boat was rippling violently, and an emerald green bamboo pole was bent like a half moon.

"Hehehe... just when the big fish is taking the bait, and friends come from afar, what a joy!"

Although the big fish slapped the water hard, the curved fishing rod was extremely stable in Ji Yuan's hand. With a shake of his left hand, he lifted the whole fish out of the water and put it into the fish basket on the bow.

The bighead carp's fat head almost got stuck in the mouth of the fish basket, and half of its body was shaking outside even after it was put in.

As far as Yin Zhaoxian and the scholar Shi surnamed were on the shore, hearing the clear and clear voice of the fisherman, the latter was fine, while the former raised his eyebrows with joy.

"It's Mr. Ji! Mr. Ji~~~ Yin Zhaoxian is here~~~"

Yin Zhaoxian was so excited that he waved and shouted in the direction of the black-covered boat a few feet away on the bank of the river. The scholar surnamed Shi next to him was a little shocked. He and Yin Zhaoxian had never seen this person so excited along the way.

At this moment, Ji Yuan's wrist flicked the hook out of the fish's mouth. He put down the fishing rod and lowered his bamboo hat, and turned to greet Yin Zhaoxian who was on the shore.

"Master Yin, after a long time, how is everything going, Master?"

Seeing Ji Yuan's unchanged face, Yin Zhaoxian became even more excited, and hurriedly saluted Ji Yuan, and the scholar surnamed Shi next to him subconsciously bowed his hands together.

"Everything is fine in Yin's house, everything is fine, and we also clean the courtyard from time to time, Mr. Ji, come here quickly!"

Ji Yuan also slightly cupped his hands towards the scholar named Shi, and shouted with a smile: "Here we come!"

The big fish in the fish basket was still thumping, Ji Yuan sat on the bow of the boat, picked up the oar and made a bend, rowing the boat close to the shore.

Seeing Yin Zhaoxian's excited look, the scholar surnamed Shi beside him couldn't help asking curiously.

"Brother Yin, do you know this fisherman?"

"More than just acquaintances, Mr. Ji is not only a neighbor of Yin's hometown, but also my best friend. I haven't seen each other for many years, but I didn't expect to meet here!"

The boat docked within a few strokes, and Ji Yuan stepped off the boat in one step.

If it were Ji Yuan's previous life, meeting true best friends who hadn't seen each other for many years would definitely give each other a bear hug, but in this life, people and friends are mostly reserved, and Yin Zhaoxian is just excitedly holding hands with Ji Yuan, but his hands are strong Not bad.

After a few breaths, the two sides released their hands, Yin Zhaoxian introduced others to Ji Yuan, stretched out his hand to lead Ji Yuan and said:

"Mr. Ji, this is a fellow from Jizhou who accompanied Yin on the way to Beijing."

The scholar surnamed Shi bowed his hands to Ji Yuan again and declared his name: "My servant, Shi Yusheng, is from Chunhui Mansion!"

Ji Yuan also bowed his hands politely again.

"I don't care about fate, and Mrs. Yin is an old acquaintance from the same hometown."

After the introduction, this is considered to be an acquaintance, and Ji Yuan smiled and pointed to the fish basket on the bow of the Wupeng boat.

"It's better to come early than to come by coincidence. A big fish happened to take the bait. Let's treat Mr. Yin and Mr. Shi with this fish at noon today. Get on the boat and let's go to Chenjia Village together."

At the kind invitation of Ji Yuan, Yin Zhaoxian and Shi Yusheng both boarded the black-covered boat, and then he stepped aboard again.

After lifting the paddle, Ji Yuan smiled and reminded the two people who had just sat down on the boat:

"Sit tight!"

Then the oars pushed hard on the shore, and when the boat slid away from the shore, it swayed on the waves for a while, causing the two newly boarded scholars to sway from side to side and hold on to the side of the boat, not daring to stand up casually. .

Since the black-covered boat was rented from the old man Chen, Chenjia Village is naturally near the water. You only need to row north for two miles and turn into a small river, and then row for half a mile to reach Chenjia Village. Standing on the shore and looking out, you can see the outline of the village.

The boat was driving on the river, Yin Zhaoxian and Shi Yusheng got used to it for a while, and they no longer panic because of the bumps of the boat.

"Mr. Ji, where have you been to visit these years? Qing'er has been thinking about you all the time. He said that he must tell you about the outside world when he sees you. There is also the jujube tree in the courtyard, which only bears fruit again in three years. ...and a very powerful old gentleman came here...he is very vigorous when he eats jujubes..."

While rowing the boat, Ji Yuan listened to Yin Zhaoxian's speech either clearly or vaguely, and only smiled when he finished speaking.

"Little Yinqing probably misses the little red fox more, hahahaha..."

Shi Yusheng also listened with a smile on the side. He had never seen Yin Zhaoxian who talked so much, chattering non-stop.

Both of them walked for a long time and were already tired. Sitting on the small boat with a black awning at the moment, admiring the beautiful scenery along the river, it was both a relief and a pleasure.

"By the way, Mr. Ji, you haven't said where you have been to these years, but do you have any strange beauty and interesting experiences to share with Yin?"

Before he knew it, he had reached the mouth of a river, Ji Yuan turned the oars to make the boat turn, and then changed sides to row the boat. At the same time, he smiled and said to Yin Zhaoxian in a joking tone:

"In these years, Ji has slain demons, exorcised demons, met the judges of the underworld and local lands, visited the high gate of the Immortal Mansion, and participated in the Dragon Lord's birthday banquet. It was wonderful, wonderful, hehehehe..."

Ji Yuan was in an open mind, and said these words with a lot of pride.

Hearing these words, Yin Zhaoxian faintly felt that it was very likely to be true, and he could also hear Shi Yusheng who was beside him happily taking it as a joke.

There are not many roads in Chenjia Village, so the boat docked at the edge of the village soon, tied the boat rope, Ji Yuan said hello to two villagers who recognized him, and led Yin Zhaoxian and Shi Yusheng to the old man Chen's house. .

Seeing Ji Yuan coming over, Old Man Chen's family was extremely enthusiastic, especially there was such a big bighead carp in the fish basket, Old Man Chen also admired it.

It was almost noon, Shi Yusheng, Yin Zhaoxian and Ji Yuan were sitting and talking at a table of four immortals. The dishes had already been set on the table, and the smell of fresh fish and meat wafted from the kitchen.

Not having a good meal for two or three days, Yin Zhaoxian and Shi Yusheng were drawn to swallow their mouths one after another, while Ji Yuan looked on amusedly.

Only then did Yin Zhaoxian belatedly notice that Ji Yuan's eyes were not gray, and asked in surprise.

"Mr. Ji, are your eyes okay?"

Ji Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and then he smiled: "It's just a blindfold."

And raised his hand to signal Mrs. Yin not to make a fuss. Although Yin Zhaoxian doesn't know what blindfolding is, it's okay to understand it literally.

“Fish head is good~~~”

Old man Chen brought up a steaming basin with a rag, Ji Yuan hurried forward to help, and put the basin of fish head soup on the Four Immortals table together, taking up a lot of space.

"Hehe, Mr. Ji will still eat it. Our Tongtianjiang bighead carp is very delicious, especially the fish head is the essence of the essence. Such a bighead carp that weighs almost thirty catties is rare. This fish head almost fits in a basin." No less, even if you go to a big restaurant in Gyeonggi Province, you may not be able to eat it!"

The old man Chen said with a smile, and then went back to the kitchen to bring out some other side dishes, including pickles and some sauced meat, and brought out a pot of local wine.

"Mr. Ji also has two scholars, you take it easy, the old man's family will eat in the kitchen!"

"Okay, old man Chen is here!"

"Thank you, Uncle Chen!" "Thank you for the hospitality!"

Ji Yuan and the others thanked each other before preparing to move their chopsticks, and the Chen family happily went back to the kitchen for dinner. Ji Yuan only needed the head of such a bighead carp, and the rest would naturally be given to the Chen family.

With the fragrance of fish overflowing, I had a hearty meal. The fish head was thick and plump without many fish bones. The key point was that the soup was very mellow and delicious, and the two scholars who didn't eat much couldn't stop eating.

At the dinner table, Ji Yuan also talked about the customs and customs of various places. Compared with Yin Zhaoxian and others, who hurried all the way to talk about the details, they were more affectionate.

That kind of joy and harmony when meeting strangers but entering the newlyweds’ home, and winning a lot of applause with a pen to send congratulatory couplets; Shi did his best to each other for decades of kindness...

Everything from Ji Yuan's mouth was full of flesh and blood, which made Yin Zhaoxian and Shi Yusheng both sigh and envy.

At the end of the chat, Ji Yuan also took advantage of the opportunity to suggest that the two scholars take his awning boat to go to Gyeonggi Province on the other side. As for winning the lottery of Zhuangyuandu, he just needs to row the awning boat to Zhuangyuandu and let the two of them board. Just ship.

Naturally, the two scholars readily agreed.

After eating a meal for half an afternoon, most of the food on the table went into the stomachs of the two scholars. Anyway, judging by the posture, Ji Yuan felt that there was no need to prepare dinner for them.

That night the two scholars shared a room at Old Man Chen's house, and Ji Yuan would get up early the next day and row a boat to Zhuangyuan Ferry to wait, so they slept in another room.

After the lights were turned off at night, Shi Yusheng, who was lying on the same bed with Yin Zhaoxian at both ends of the headrest, was still thinking about the day's affairs.

"Brother Yin, who is this Mr. Ji? How can he go through so many things?"

Yin Zhaoxian smiled.

"Forget it, let's think about the imperial examination. Mr. Ji, who plays around with the world, is something mediocre people can't think of."

"That's right, brother Yin used the word game mortals very cleverly! If he hadn't been in contact with him for a day, he really felt like a free and easy fairy. It's no wonder that brother Yin called him a close friend."

"Hehe... go to sleep, go to sleep!"

Yin Zhaoxian tightened the quilt and stopped talking.
