Douluo Continent on the tip of the tongue

When the Qin Dynasty was in Sichuan Province, he worked as a cook in a restaurant and learned Sichuan cuisine. Later, he learned Sichuan cuisine and heard that there was a very famous dish in the south of the Yangtze River called "Huaiyang cuisine". Even Emperor Qianlong's subordinates

Jiangnan, after tasting it, everyone was full of praise, so he wanted to take the waterway to Suzhou and Hangzhou to find a Huaiyang cuisine master to learn from him.

However, they encountered a group of river bandits on the road and finally hit the bank of Dongting Lake by mistake.

After all these twists and turns, he also had some mental shadows about going to Suzhou and Hangzhou, and he didn't know what to do in the future, so he shamelessly stayed at the Dongting Lake and watched every step.

Mudan was in his boudoir, so he couldn't smear the name of his savior for nothing. However, apart from Mudan, Qin Shiwei really didn't know anyone else. He could only live in a house near Mudan's house, and the two of them often interacted with each other on weekdays.

Mudan is a girl with a very easy-going personality. In order to help Qin Shi, who accidentally entered this place, to better integrate into the local life, she would take the initiative to communicate with Qin Shi in her spare time and teach him the local Hunan dialect.

Although the dialects are different, the characters are the same, so learning will not be too difficult.

A few months after Qin Shi came to Dongting Lake, the two were able to communicate on a daily basis.

In return, Qin Shi taught Mu Dan literacy and arithmetic. Although she was just a country girl, being able to read and do some simple arithmetic was always useful.

Although Mu Dan was illiterate, she was a very good girl. By doing embroidery for others or doing laundry for others in exchange for silver, she had enough food and clothing and could save a few cents. After Qin Shi taught her how to read, she

Sometimes he would bring some pork, sometimes a few liters of rice, jokingly saying that this was a "truth" for his husband (the same pronunciation as "Xiu"), but in fact he was helping Qin Shi, who had not yet integrated into the life in the village.

And all of this happened under the witness of Qi Han.

Spring and Autumn are fleeting, cold comes and summer comes, and in the blink of an eye, three years have passed.

In Qi Han's perception, it was only a moment, but every detail of the past three years was clearly presented before his eyes.

Obviously, these memories are not that important for the cooking of peony fish fillets, but they are not completely skipped, but rather give Qi Han an illusion of time perception as a blur.

This magical situation is somewhat similar to "a day in heaven and a year on earth".

Three years later, Qin Shi fully integrated into the Dongting Lakeside. He relied on the Sichuan cuisine he learned in a Sichuan restaurant and opened a small restaurant in the village. Although the Xiang people in the countryside had never tasted Sichuan cuisine, they liked both dishes.

Spicy, there are some similarities, and since this Sichuan cuisine is rare in the Dongting Lake area, his business has gradually become prosperous.

Although he made some money, Qin Shi never thought about moving out of the thatched cottage. He silently knocked down the thatched cottage, asked the well digger in the village to build a well, and built a hall-well style wooden house. Peony laughed at him for making money.

Even though he didn't want to move to a spacious place after getting the money, he just smiled and said he was used to living here and couldn't bear to leave.

Only Qi Han knows his secret.

What he couldn't bear to part with was not this place, but the people here.

Every time he stood in front of Peony, Qi Han could clearly feel how fast the heart of this young man, whose face was calm as if he didn't care about anything, was beating.

But Peony is still as innocent and innocent as she was three years ago. At the age of eighteen or nineteen, the girl has grown into a graceful figure, and her figure has become even more graceful and graceful as she grows taller. She has become a famous beauty from all over the country, and the matchmakers who want to marry her are lined up from the head of the village.

To get to the end of the village, you have to go around again.

Her parents died of illness when she was young, so she didn't have to worry about their parents' fate. Whenever a matchmaker came to talk to her about marriage, she would only be polite for a while, saying that she didn't want to get married for a while. As she came and went, the number of matchmakers became less and less, but the number of gossips in the village increased.

As soon as she said it, she was confused with the foreigner named Qin.

The second reason is that she is so charming that she talks to fish every day, so she might not be a monster.

Yes, through Qin Shi's eyes, observing this girl who spent time with Qin Shi and whose name was closely related to Peony Fish Fillet, Qi Han quickly discovered that the girl was different from others.

Every time she went to Dongting Lake to wash clothes, she would sit by the lake with her knees in her arms after washing the clothes, teasing and feeding the fish in the lake, and talking to the fish by herself for a while.

Because she loves fish very much, although Mudan is not afraid of fish, she never eats fish.

From the perspective of a modern person and an onlooker, Qi Han can actually understand Mudan very well. After all, this girl's parents died when she was young and she has no other relatives. She can only be strong and work hard for life. She also suffers from helplessness when encountering bad things.

People talk about it, and over time, they regard fish as the object of their confiding. As time goes by, they gradually develop a habit, and the fish in the lake become her tree hole.

But in that era when literacy and reading were not common, the villagers were ignorant.

How can humans communicate with fish?

With this idea, coupled with the jealousy of some small-minded people about Mu Dan's beautiful and refined appearance, they gradually began to maliciously slander her, hurt people with rumors, and demonized a poor and kind-hearted girl.

If the truth never comes out, rumors will travel thousands of miles.

Of course, Qi Han was just a bystander at that time. He couldn't even control his body, let alone help this girl.

…

"Peony, are you talking to the fish again?"

Qin Shi strolled over and sat down next to Peony. He looked at the fish that occasionally popped up by the lakeside to eat the bait fed by Peony. He inadvertently glanced at Peony a few times, and then quickly

He turned his head back and said, "The rumors in the village are getting more and more annoying."

"It doesn't matter. I won't hurt anyone, and neither will the fish. Just let them go." Mudan's eyes stayed on a small fish that was being squeezed out by other fish while grabbing bait. She smiled and threw some bait to it, and then lightly

Sighing, "You people in Sichuan Province don't eat fish, so the fish born in Sichuan Province must be happier than the fish here."

Qin Shi coughed dryly and covered his slightly hot cheek with one hand, "Yes, the fish we have over there...are quite big."

Qi Han laughed very cooperatively and made a pig noise.

Knowing that Mudan likes fish very much and never eats fish, Qin Shi no longer eats fish. Even the Sichuan restaurants he opened never sell fish. They claim to the outside world that Sichuan people never eat fish, so there is no fish in Sichuan cuisine.

.

After all, all the villages in the ten miles and eight villages were remote villages. Apart from him, there was no other Sichuanese in the Qin Dynasty. Didn't he have to say this?

The old licker belongs to the category.

As for there being no fish in Sichuan cuisine…

Boiled fish fillets were the first to disagree.

Tofu fish, boiled fish, and water fish also expressed objections.

"If I could just visit Sichuan Province in this life, I would be satisfied." Peony murmured with a bit of longing on her face.

Qin Shi opened his mouth and was about to blurt out "I'll take you there" when he suddenly felt guilty.

If Mudan knew that Sichuan people also like to eat fish, I'm afraid she would be angry with herself.

Looking sideways at Mudan, who was still looking down at the fish seriously, Qin Shi coughed slightly and swallowed back the words he was about to say, "That..."

"Um?"

"What did the fish say to you?"

"They..." Peony smiled slightly, glancing slightly at the fish that kept coming out of the lake and spitting bubbles, and then looked at the sky, her eyes a little absent-minded.

"They told me...it was going to rain, a big, big one."
