dream of red mansion

People's time is used to learn how to make soup, or to send ginseng to others..."

Well...

Jia Qing, who knew that Daiyu was running on him, just pretended not to hear anything, and said, "Oh, since Sister Bao is so busy, let's leave her alone. Look, is that fish fat?"

Regarding Jia Qing's avoidance of talking about it, Daiyu twitched her mouth, but didn't say anything else, and followed everyone's gaze to look at the big wooden barrel in the middle.

what……?

Daiyu and the others were immediately attracted by the strange fish swimming in the vat.

"Is this a fish?"

No wonder they were surprised, just because the fish in the bucket was really different from the fish they had seen before.The whole body is black, the trunk of the body is rod-shaped, the mouth is big and flat, lurking in the water, there is a sense of treachery.

"Of course it's a fish, and it's a delicious fish..."

Hearing Jia Qing said that it was indeed a fish, Xichun, who squatted down to watch, suddenly lost her guard, and stretched out her fingers to touch its smooth and cold body.

"Sister, be careful."

Clinker Jia Qing suddenly reminded her, and Xichun hurriedly withdrew her hand.

Yingchun didn't understand what he meant, and asked, "Second brother, can this fish still hurt people?"

Jia Qing nodded and said: "There are two rows of sharp side teeth in its mouth. If you accidentally put your fingers into its mouth, you may be bitten by it."

In order to prove his words and let the sisters see and see, Jia Qing said to Ping'er: "Little wood, catch it, open its mouth and let the second sister and the others have a look."

"Huh??... oh..."

Pinger stepped forward hesitantly, and stretched out her hand tremblingly to catch the fish.In fact, she wasn't afraid at first, she and the other two maids took the hook out of its mouth and put it into the bucket just now.But now after hearing Jia Qing's words, she was already afraid of this weird-looking breed.

"Let me come!"

Seeing that Mu Ping'er was struggling to catch the fish, Third Sister You, who came out with her, couldn't see it. She took the initiative to step forward, put both hands together, and caught the fish with one effort, and then took advantage of the situation to break open its large body. Mouth……

Sure enough, in its cavity, fine teeth are densely covered, small and sharp, coupled with its black body, it is really scary.

"Wow, it has so many teeth and looks so sharp, it's scary!

Brother, how did you catch it? By the way, what kind of fish is this? Why have I never seen it before? "

Xichun really felt a little afraid of the fish, so she hurriedly asked.

Jia Qing looked at the faces of the girls and said with a calm smile: "As it looks, this fish is called black fish or stick fish. It is fierce and cruel by nature, and it feeds on other small animals and fish in the water. It is the king of fish.

They can live out of the water for days without dying.If there are black fish in a pond, they can often eat all the other fish in it, and then escape to another water area, where they continue to run amok and do evil. "

"Ah, are they so bad? Brother, if you can catch it, it means that there are also such fish here. Will they eat up all the fish in Qinfang River in the future?

If that was the case, Qinfangxi would not look good at all. "

Jia Qing smiled and said: "No, Qinfang River is so big, there are so many fishes, big and small, and it is connected to other rivers, so the fish will never be extinct.

What's more, all things in nature are born with each other and restrain each other. If there is a long, there must be a short.Their small size and their unfavorable ability to reproduce are the flaws that God restrains them from unscrupulous. "

While admiring Jia Qing's understanding of the habits of these special fishes, Tanchun couldn't help asking: "Why does the second brother know so much about this, and why have we never seen this kind of fish?"

"These are just descriptions in books, and I accidentally caught one when I was fishing in the Imperial College. I have verified it, so I know. By the way, the black fish is just a name among the market. Its real name should be snakehead. .”

"The snakehead, so this is the snakehead. I have read "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", in which there is a record about the snakehead, which is said to be the top grade of insect fish. No wonder I heard the description of the second elder brother a little familiar, so it is so .”

As soon as Jia Qing reported the name, Daiyu, who frowned for a long time, suddenly spoke.

Jia Qingdao: "Sister Lin is well read and has an extraordinary memory, which makes my brother admire."

Jia Qing's compliments made Daiyu very helpful. Seeing that Tanchun and others also showed strange expressions, Daiyu continued: "Although this snakehead is vicious by nature, it is also one of the most protective fish. It is said that this When the snakehead gives birth to offspring, the fish father and mother fish will accompany them for as long as a year until the young fish can hunt on their own.

In addition, snakehead is also known as filial fish. It is rumored that the mother fish will be blind for a period of time during childbirth and cannot hunt for food, so the little fish will swim into the mother fish's mouth first during that time until the mother fish recovers. , its young fish are running out..."

When Daiyu said this, she felt inexplicably sad.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

When everyone heard Daiyu's words of kindness to Yuqiu, they were all moved, and then they heard that Jia Qing actually laughed.

Daiyu frowned, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"No no……"

Jia Qing waved his hands again and again, and then said: "What my sister said sounds good, but I just don't think it's realistic... There is no such thing as a fish that is cruel by nature. It's just a big fish giving birth. After that, I can’t move anymore, so I don’t care about the family relationship, why don’t I eat whatever I meet? Its sons and daughters are all around, so it’s not convenient, so naturally I swallowed a big piece.”

"you!!"

Daiyu was secretly angry when she heard this, and Tanchun and others were also dissatisfied.

"Second brother, why do you say that. You ruined all the good artistic conception!"

"Yes, yes, brother, what you said is really cruel, it's better to say what sister Lin said..."

Although he was criticized verbally and in writing, Jia Qing still did not change his face.Originally, survival is the instinct of animals, especially the ferocious low-level animals like snakeheads. It is by nature, so it is not normal to eat the young fish around you?It's just that it was observed by someone with a heart, and after the spring and autumn pens of good literati, it became a good story, and the snakehead was given the title of "filial fish".

Even Yingchun, who usually only smiles and rarely talks, said: "Second brother, I also think that sister Lin is right. Since this fish is so spiritual, we might as well let it go."

"How about letting it go, I'm planning to have it for today's lunch..."

"no!"

"No."

After some "friendly negotiations", despite Jia Qing's reluctance, this snakehead weighing two or three catties escaped the bad luck, and was released back to nature by the joint efforts of several maidservants.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... Let you succeed so easily! Pity me, I am a cripple now..."

Seeing that the fish was put into the water and quickly disappeared, and looking back to see Jia Qing sitting there performing hard, while it was funny, Daiyu couldn't help feeling distressed.

Second brother's legs aren't all right yet...

But she didn't rush to ask.A question will inevitably lead to the worrying topic a few days ago.As sisters, it is not good for them to discuss the matter of Jia Qing Neiwei in public, not to mention that the matter ended badly.

Now that Jia Qing has shown forgetfulness, it is naturally the best.Thinking of this, Daiyu became happy again, and said with a smile: "I heard from the old lady and the others that this garden was closed, how can you come in and fish?"

Jia Qing laughed and said: "Who said I came here to fish? I got a new batch of high-quality antiques and curios a while ago. I came in to see where these things are still missing, so I can add them as appropriate..."

"Antiques? Brother, where are your antiques?"

"Ho ho ho." Third Sister You couldn't help laughing when she heard Xi Chun's words.
