Chapter 109 (And let's tie up the light boat and fish dragon to ask for monthly votes)

  Recommend a friend's book: "Super Brain System" is very exciting and creative, don't miss it:) Book number: 2514947

  "Good boat, good water! The self-come fish and dragon are many and illusory, only in the mountain and water scroll to seek, haha..."

  Liu Ke seems to be in a bad state, holding a black umbrella and swaying with every step as he boarded Zhou Yi's "thief boat". He really thought he had transformed into a elegant scholar from a landscape painting! Zhang Zuo watched with a straight face, thinking: Can't you walk properly? With this swaying gait, if you trip and fall, should I inform Eldest Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law or Third Brother's wife?

  Fortunately, the fishing boat was not small and had been reinforced after purchase. It had a rudder, oars, and a small diesel engine that Liu Ke had installed just a few days ago. With a burst of excitement, Liu Ke leaped onto the boat, causing it to rock slightly but without much turbulence.

  As soon as the two of them were on board, Zhou Yi also brought Jin Yangyang to jump onto the deck, adjusted the rudder, started the diesel engine, and the fishing boat sailed into the depths of Jianma Lake by itself.

  That fish king often appears in the deep center of Jianma Lake and will not easily come to shallow water areas. Zhou Yi has already figured out its activity area, so after setting the direction of the boat, he left Jinyangyang on the deck to watch the water surface, and smiled and invited Liu Ke and Zhang Zhao into the cabin.

  "Wow, little brother, you really know how to enjoy yourself..."

  Yang Ke was a connoisseur and as soon as he entered the cabin, his eyes lit up.

  Although this fishing boat, Zhou Yi, is second-hand, it's not like a young girl, and the second-hand one won't crack and leak water as easily. Moreover, even the wooden window frames in the cabin have a thick layer of varnish, looking smooth and ancient, without any signs of fire damage. In Yang Ke's eyes, this old boat is much better than a new one.

  The small table and stool inside the cabin are also purely handmade wooden furniture; especially the tea table, it's obviously a product of the Republic of China era, with carvings of flowers, birds, insects, and fish on the four sides, this kind of thing is most common in rural areas, farmers don't know its value, but if it falls into the hands of people like Liu Ke, it can be sold for a good price.

  After sitting down, Liu Ke carefully looked at the tea table and stool, and exclaimed in admiration: "Good stuff! Good stuff... Brother Zhou, did you add these tables and round stools yourself?"

  "That's not it. These were all brought along when I bought the boat, the previous owner sold the boat to me and these things came with it."

  "Oh? Brother Zhou, how much did you spend on this boat?"

  Liu Ke stroked the tea table, with a reluctant look on his face.

  "Haha" also didn't have much money, twenty thousand yuan. Zhou Yi smiled and said: "Liu Ge, since you entered the cabin, you've been staring at this tea table, could it be that this is a good thing?".

  Zhou Yi had never really paid much attention to this tea table and stool, but now that Liu Ke couldn't stop staring at it, when he looked again himself, he suddenly felt that the tea table was quite extraordinary, with a lot of character.

  "Old Zhou, your luck is really good, you've picked up a big bargain."

  Liu Ke sighed and said, "This set of things may not be more than the Republic of China period, but this wooden furniture is particular about looking at materials and workmanship, not looking at the era: your tea table and tea stool are all made of Huanghuali wood, and the craftsmanship is exceptional, absolutely not a small shop's product, but rather a product of 'Xuhua' Woodenware Store, a renowned store in Kyoto during the late Qing and early Republic periods. Brother Zhou, do you know how much this set of things could sell for if it were to be auctioned off at my brother's auction house?"

  "Is it just a hundred or eight hundred yuan?" Zhou Yi smiled and said, "It's just a small table with four small stools, what can you turn over the sky?"

  "1.8 million? At least it should be five times more than this!"

  Liu Ke smiled and said, "This is a good set of tableware! Zhou younger brother, with such good tableware, how can you not have wine to call for?" After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhou Yi, implying that where's your good wine? Can't just let us sit here drinking wind, right?

  "Hehe, don't worry, today we have not only wine but also dishes."

  Zhou Yi smiled and opened the small drawer under the case table... He took out chopsticks, wine cups and four small dishes, a five-jin bottle of wine, and a copper wine pot. He placed the four small dishes on the tea tray, opened the wine tank, poured a pot of wine, and put it on the small stove that had just been lit to warm up.

  Those four small dishes were boiled peanuts, fragrant bean sprouts, salted bamboo shoots and thinly sliced cured meat. They were originally very simple and incomplete, clearly having been tampered with.

  "Hehe, don't mind me, two brothers. This is the leftover from my boat ride on the lake yesterday, but it's very clean. If you're not picky, just have a couple of bites, anyway today's main course isn't them..."

  Zhou Yi smiled and said.

  "No big deal, we've had porridge and salted vegetables before, what's there to pick and choose? Ah, I finally get to taste your wine."

  Zhang Zhao thought the wine was warm enough, took over the wine pot and poured a cup for himself and Liu Ke Zhou Yi separately, saying: "I'm starving to death, taste the good wine of my brother." Then he drank it all in one gulp, after finishing, he smacked his lips and said: "Brother Zhou, this is not quite right?"

  Liu Ke took a light sip and slightly furrowed her brow, looking at Zhou Yi with some displeasure.

  They are both wealthy men, and when it comes to appreciating beautiful women and fine wine, they have the highest standards. This good wine is just like a beautiful woman, no need to rush, one sip can test its quality.

  The wine of Zhouyi is not bad, but after drinking it, the two of them knew that it was actually just ordinary Miao wind glutinous rice wine. Although it's rare in Lu Province, if you go to Yunnan and Guizhou Provinces, this stuff is almost everywhere, it's a common product: using this wine to entertain guests is no longer a matter of being rude or not, but rather embarrassing people!

  Actually, they didn't drink wrongly. This is indeed the Miao fragrant glutinous rice wine that Zhou Yi got from Li Yuanfang, not that 'nation-destroying liquor'.

  This is not the petty-mindedness of Zhou Yi, it's just that now is not the time to bring out the 'trouble water'. Without satisfying the appetites of the two big bosses, where can we get a high tide? Without a high tide, how can we make them feel extremely happy and satisfied while being slaughtered, and even wish to be slaughtered a few more times?

  All this is a matter of timing... Killing these two big fools is just like cooking, it's all about the right timing. Now, Zhou Yi is really poor, not like when he was selling pickled radishes, everywhere you go, you need to use money.

  "Zhou, little brother, this is where you're wrong... Others may not know, but how could I not recognize your craftsmanship? This wine probably isn't even brewed by you, and yet you use such inferior stuff to entertain your elder brother?"

  Zhang Zuo was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to really turn against Zhou Yi, so he could only complain on one side and slightly pout on the other, making a half-criticizing and half-coquettish expression. He thought he handled it well, but Zhou Yi was stunned, almost vomiting on the spot, thinking that you're such a big man, why are you acting like a little girl...

  "Hehe, don't get me wrong, you two brothers. You braved the rain to come into the mountains for my sake, and I can still treat you poorly? Zhou Yi smiled as he took out a red clay-sealed wine jug from that pocket and placed it on the tea table: "Have you seen this? This is the fine wine I personally brewed, with a nice name - 'Country-Toppling Water'!"

  "A beauty who brings trouble? Good wine, good wine!"

  Although the bottle hasn't been opened, the fragrance of the wine has already seeped out... that lingering, enchanting aroma..." made both big bosses' hearts beat a little faster, and at the same time, they couldn't help but think of their own lovely, delicate, and charming little honeys...

  Such good wine, a man can't refuse it!

  "I'll pour!" Zhang Zhuo licked his lips like a greedy ghost and reached out to grab the wine jug.

  Slow!

  "Zhang, you're still the boss of 'old place', how could you make such a low-level mistake?"

  "What a low-level mistake! Younger brother, you've been hiding such good wine and not bringing it out, instead using ordinary wine to deceive older brother, that's the real low-level mistake! Hurry up, hurry up, I can barely hold back..."

  "Zhou Yi insisted: 'Zhang Ge you don't understand, Liu Ge must be aware of it, right Liu Ge?'"

  "Zhang Zhao, you're just uncultured, don't know how to eat or drink properly, losing face everywhere."

  Liu Ke suppressed the desire in his heart, and nodded as if he had something to attend to: "How can you not know that red flowers need green leaves to set off their beauty, and good wine needs fine food? Zhou's fresh dishes haven't been served yet, and drinking now would be a waste of good wine. This wine is like a beautiful woman, subtle..."

  "Alright, alright, since wine is like a beautiful woman, then we must drink it! You literary people play with pure emotions, but I'm just a rough and straightforward person. Isn't the goal to catch fish? Little brother, where's your net? I'll go get one and bring it back. Just sitting in the cabin being lazy and complaining, do you think the fish will jump onto the boat by themselves? It's not like they're mermaids."

  Zhang Zhuang was really anxious. Zhou Yi's wine was too enticing, and it was already like this before the jar was even opened - if the jar were to be opened, wouldn't people be driven to distraction?

  "Haha, Brother Zhang, you don't know this, but the fish we're waiting for..."

  Just as Zhou Yi had spoken half a sentence, he heard a loud "whoosh" from the deck outside. He immediately clapped his hands and laughed: "The King of Fish has appeared! Two old brothers, come out with me to open your eyes!"

  "Fish King?"

  Liu Ke and Zhang Zhao exchanged a glance, both becoming excited, and no longer cared about the good wine or not, they hastily followed Zhou Yi out of the cabin.

  At this time, the fishing boat had sailed deep into Jianma Lake. After Zhou Yi came out of the cabin, he first stopped the engine, held the rudder with one hand, and asked Jin Yangyang: "Yangyang, which direction is that big fish in?"

  "Woof woof......"

  Jinyangyang lifted his left front hoof and pointed forward to the left.

  "It's really there!"

  At this time, the rain was getting smaller, and although the lake surface was still shrouded in mist, people's line of sight could already reach 100 meters. Zhou Yi's eyesight was particularly good, and as he looked around, he saw that about 100 meters to his left front, there were occasional ripples on the water, seemingly gathering a large number of fish, and at the center of this group of fish, there was a raised water surface more than half a meter high, churning non-stop, which was a sign of large aquatic animals being active underneath.

  "Indeed it's a big deal... Looking at this water power, I'm afraid it has more than 100 catties? Good fellow, this is really the king of fish!"

  Yang Ke didn't usually have anything to do, but he also liked fishing. However, encountering such a big guy was a first for him, and he couldn't help but feel some excitement: "Fish dragon change, fish dragon change! If the fish is over 100, it's a dragon species. Good job, Zhou old brother, originally prepared this thing for us, haha, great, great, great!"

  People say that fish can transform into dragons, but it's not about really turning into a five-clawed golden dragon. It means that if a fish can leap over a hundred hurdles, it must be the best of its kind, a noble creature that absorbs all the essence of the water; gourmets believe that this fish is extremely nourishing and eating it can prolong one's life.

  At Yang Ke's level, it's no longer just about the color, fragrance and taste, but rather about nourishment. Otherwise, as someone approaching fifty, how can he cope with his young and delicate concubine?

  Zhou Yi pressed down on the rudder, gently plying the oars, and slowly approached this stretch of water. Looking at the distance of twenty or thirty meters, he shouted in a low voice: "Yang Yang, wrap it around for me, and if you succeed, I'll reward you with three big radishes!"

  Jinyangyang had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and after hearing Zhouyi's command, he let out a loud " splash" and jumped into the water. He hadn't wasted his time with the duck brothers and sisters, and his underwater skills had indeed improved significantly. As he entered the water, he was silent and stealthy, like a golden thread, quickly heading towards the location of the fish king: his speed was so fast that it would make countless world-class swimmers ashamed.

  Splash!

  Just as the golden line transformed by Jin Yangyang disappeared into the water, the surface of the water suddenly erupted like a boiling pot, with countless fish jumping out. Then, a huge black shadow about 1 meter 6-7 long and a chubby golden shadow emerged from under the water, entwined in a fierce battle all the way up. The fish king's back half was exposed above the water surface, resembling a small boat.

  "Good fish, good pork!"

  Liu Ke gave a big slap on his thigh. This little golden pig was too awesome! It wasn't an aquatic creature, yet it could fight with the fish king in the water like this, and it seemed to have the upper hand. The fish king tried several times to dive into the water, but it was forced to come up by the pig, step by step, retreating towards the surface of the water. Wasn't this a miracle?

  Zhang Zhuang nodded repeatedly, thoughtfully saying: "Liu Ge, you often say I'm uncultured, but at this moment, I've actually figured out the plot of a strange book..."

  "Oh? You've made some insightful connections, tell me more?" Liu Ke said with some surprise.

  "This strange book is 'Journey to the West'. I've always wondered why Mr. Wu would turn the heavenly marshal Tianpeng, who commands 80,000 aquatic soldiers in the Heavenly River, into a pig. Now I finally understand. It turns out that Mr. Wu was not only a great literary figure but also a biologist, and he probably discovered long ago that pigs can be excellent swimmers. What do you think, Liu?"

  Zhang Zuo was very pleased with himself, thinking "You always say I'm uncultured, but this time I've really shaken you up!"

  "Nonsense, utter rubbish."

  Liu Ke rolled her eyes and thought to herself, "What is this nonsense? With your level of quality, you dare to start a cultural company? If you don't go bankrupt, it's just because you're incredibly lucky!"

  Regardless of whether Jinyangyang is related to Tianpeng Yuanshuai, the combat power it has shown is indeed breathtaking. A few minutes later, the fish king was forced onto the water surface by it, and several times it tried to escape, but was tightly entangled by its swift and fierce attack, anxiously stirring up waves on the water, creating a splash of several meters high.

  Zhou Yi stared intently at the big fish, slowly rowing the boat to within three meters of it. He then put down the oars and picked up a harpoon gun from the deck, standing on the boat waiting for an opportunity.

  "Ahhhroo!"

  Jinyangyang was like he had a spiritual connection with him, as soon as Zhou Yi stood up straight, it suddenly head-butted the big fish's belly, and the big fish, in pain, flapped its tail on the water surface, causing its entire body to leap into the air.

  The Zhou Yi got it right. With a sudden flick of his right hand, the fishing gun instantly transformed into a black light that flew out, targeting the chrysanthemum of that fish king!
