Since the old Dragon King rectified the rivers and lakes and ascended to the position of Dragon King, he has set up a banquet in the rivers and seas. Firstly, it is to contact the water monsters from all over the country. Secondly, it is to get together and get acquainted with each other, so that new monsters and old monsters can meet each other.
The Dragon Palace at the bottom of the river was particularly lively on this day.
The sound of gongs and drums is endless, and shrimps, soldiers and crabs greet each other on the road.
The water demons from all walks of life had already prepared gifts and handed them to Prime Minister Turtle in front of the Dragon Palace Gate before entering the venue.
"Long time no see, long time no see."
"I wonder where you have been practicing lately?"
"That's a good place to go. It's indeed a blessed land."
The water monsters from all walks of life exchanged greetings with each other. Some of them had not seen each other for a hundred years. After meeting each other, they naturally talked more. For these water monsters, maybe a hundred years is like three or four years in the human world, not very long.
Prime Minister Turtle counted the gift list and looked at the list of water monsters from all walks of life. Everyone who was supposed to be there was there. After all, who would dare not to give it to the Dragon Lord?
There were a few who hadn't arrived, and Prime Minister Turtle also asked a few questions. Most of them had passed away. Even if a demon lives a thousand years old, there will be a moment when his life span is exhausted.
Ying Yuan, the second prince of the Dragon Palace, is naturally the face of the Dragon Palace. He has worked hard this day and is welcomed by all parties, which shows that the Dragon Palace has a great atmosphere and respects etiquette.
"Prime Minister Gui, how many guests have arrived?" Ying Yuan asked.
Prime Minister Turtle pinched his beard and said: "Your Highness, more than 90% of the water demons from all walks of life have arrived. Everyone who is coming should be here."
Ying Yuan nodded and then asked: "Is Mr. Chen here?"
Prime Minister Gui shook his head and said: "You haven't arrived yet, Your Highness, why don't you let me go and invite Mr. Chen?"
Ying Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait another half an hour."
Prime Minister Turtle nodded, then lowered his head and continued to write the gift list. Many times, he would have to enter the Dragon Palace's treasure house, so he must not be careless.
…
Chen Changsheng stood on the Tingyu sword and headed towards the Tongtian River with the sword.
Mo Yuan followed closely behind with Tao'er in his car.
After a while, Chen Changsheng landed in a long pavilion on the river bank.
Mo Yuan and Tao'er stood beside Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng turned his head and glanced at a restaurant not far away. He thought for a while and said, "Chen happened to go to see an old friend, so you should go to the Dragon Palace first."
After Tao'er and Mo Yuan agreed, they entered the river and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Chen Changsheng looked at the restaurant again, and just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly paused and returned to the pavilion.
"Almost forgot about it."
Chen Changsheng said something and then looked towards the river.
He thought for a moment, then turned his hand and turned it into a long pole. A flash of golden light turned into a fishing line and threw it into the river.
"Chen is asking for a red-tailed friend. I hope I don't have to wait long."
Chen Changsheng sat up cross-legged and waited quietly for the fish to take the bait.
It took no more than a quarter of an hour to sit down.
Chen Changsheng pulled the long pole and saw a red tail entering his eyes.
He paused, looked at the red tail in his hand and thought for a moment, but a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Chen Changsheng said to Na Jiangmian: "Thank you very much."
There were some waves in the river, but it soon calmed down.
And under the river.
But there was a pair of eyes looking at the man in green shirt standing in the pavilion.
The man at the bottom of the river was well-dressed and had a touch of dragon power all over his body. He murmured in his mouth: "Can you see all this?"
"This monk is quite interesting. He obviously has a good way, but he insists on fishing."
Ying Tianze touched his chin and became a little curious about this monk who suddenly arrived.
"It won't matter in a while, and my father won't blame me for anything."
Ying Tianze's figure disappeared at the bottom of the river, and in the blink of an eye he was in the long pavilion on the river, transforming into a handsome young man wearing rich clothes and holding a folding fan in his hand.
As soon as the folding fan opened, he walked towards the inn not far away, waving the fan.
Chen Changsheng walked toward the riverside restaurant with his red tail in his hand.
It was still early in the morning, and the restaurant had just opened, so there weren't many people.
The waiter in the inn was cleaning the table, and when he saw someone coming in, he quickly put down what he was doing, stepped forward and said, "This gentleman, please come in..."
The waiter didn't recognize the person in front of him, but when he lowered his head, his eyes fell on the red tail held in the person's hand.
The red tail is still struggling, especially fresh.
"Such a fat red tail!!" The waiter was shocked.
Chen Changsheng asked: "Is this considered fat?"
The waiter came back to his senses and said, "Where did this red tail sir come from? It's so fat and plump, but it's very rare."
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said: "It's relatively small. Chen once caught one fatter than this a few years ago."
"Can anyone be fatter than this?"
The waiter seemed a little unconvinced.
"Yes." Chen Changsheng didn't explain too much. He looked at the counter and saw no shopkeeper, so he found a table and sat down.
"Isn't your shopkeeper here?" Chen Changsheng asked.
The waiter replied: "Sir, the shopkeeper is in the back hall giving instructions and will be back soon."
"Then Chen will wait." Chen Changsheng said.
The waiter asked: "Sir, would you like to drink alcohol or tea?"
"Don't worry yet." Chen Changsheng said, "I'll wait for your shopkeeper."
The waiter nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Does sir know our shopkeeper?"
"It just happened once."
Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be quite old. It was six years ago. At that time, I was still another guy."
"Six years ago, that's really a long time."
The waiter said: "There were some waiters before I was young. I heard from the shopkeeper that the waiter in the front room used to be very good at talking. Later, the waiter got married and changed jobs, so he had no choice but to change people. After a few orders, the shopkeepers were not satisfied, so they came to my place."
Chen Changsheng smiled and said: "It seems like you have some skills."
The waiter smiled modestly and said, "Sir, I'm just begging for food."
Chen Changsheng handed over the red tail.
The waiter paused and asked: "Sir, this is..."
Chen Changsheng said to the waiter: "Please send this red tail to the back hall for processing. I'm afraid it will become stale after a while."
The waiter carefully took the red tail and said, "This is a treasure, you have to hold it well."
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "Go ahead."
"Here we go, little one."
"Um."
Chen Changsheng just sat in the hall and waited, taking a look at the restaurant. Time had made the wood in the building a little more dusty.
And in that back hall.
The cook and the waiters in the back hall were stunned when they saw the red-tailed cock raised by the waiter.
"So big!!"
"Xiao Shuang, where did you get this red tail?"
Everyone immediately gathered around.
The waiter was shocked and said, "It's mine. The guest at the front hall brought it. Let's burn it out."
"Huh?"
A voice came from behind Xiao Er.
The waiter looked back and said respectfully: "The shopkeeper."
Shopkeeper Zhou glanced at the red-tailed cockroach and said, "Such a big red-tailed cockroach is quite rare."
The waiter in the back hall was very greedy when he looked at it, and he smacked his lips and said, "I just don't know how it tastes."
Shopkeeper Zhou smiled and said: "I was lucky enough to have a taste of it many years ago. At that time, Master Qing was still in charge of the restaurant. The red tail at that time was much fatter than this one."
