Chapter 6 swallowed the boat fish (above)
Uncle Ming hungry for more than half a night, a look at the meal served, but also do not care to speak, I see the situation can not help, what is it waiting for him to finish eating say it, Dajinya first to Uncle Ming on the hot bowl of noodle soup, soup on the thin layer of leeks floated on a layer of crushed froth, noodles with two egg yolks on the top, Dajinya told Uncle Ming: “This noodle soup has a elegant name, the yellow egg yolks, leeks foam is green, so it is called two yellow oriole singing green willow, the following this noodle is even more remarkable, eat a mouthful of noodles do not bite that is silverbeard hanging upside down, bite off that is suspected of being a yellow oriole. Therefore, it is called two oriole song cui-liu, the following this noodle is even better, eat a mouthful of hanging noodles do not bite off that is the silver beard upside down, bite off that is suspected to be the Milky Way fell nine days this, you do not look at the ingredients so much, the egg yolks scattered points, leeks are not too fresh, but the mood is there, how many writers and scholars from ancient times to the big hotels, do not point to something else, point to the hanging noodle soup, for no other reason than that these two yolks to come! What’s the point? It is not just a figure of elegance.”
I and the fat man looked wide-eyed, the big gold teeth is worthy of a can say the word of the traitors, a bunch of scrap metal from his mouth, can also become a gold-embedded jade treasures, the fat man said to the crowd: “I think we went to the United States still pouring what the Ming ware ah, on the old gold of these two times, we partner to open a restaurant is not a fortune ah, or maybe the President of the United States have to bump into the bumps run to The President of the United States will probably come to Chinatown to eat these two egg yolks, not to mention that the President of the United States has not eaten, even my craving for you have been hooked up, there is no more in the pot to give me a bowl of fat master …….”
There is no more noodles in the pot, the remaining half pot of broth, big gold teeth and three bowls of soup, four people drank sparingly, Uncle Ming is almost even licked the bottom of the bowl clean, after eating Uncle Ming suddenly said: “gold teeth son of the noodle soup cooked well ah, aftertaste, not yet finished ah …… but I saw these two round eggs But when I saw these two round eggs, I remembered the beads we looked for in the Kunlun Mountains.
I thought to myself that “雮尘珠”, are the past but also mentioned what is the significance? Could it be related to the coral spiral? Then I said to Uncle Ming, “Do you mean the Ghost Pearl? In ancient times in the mainland called it the phoenix gall, is the royal secret, even the “I Ching” such a large part of the ancient classics, have not been involved in half of the word phoenix, I think it is probably not because of the emergence of the “I Ching” of that period of time in China has not yet invented the word phoenix, but due to the fact that all the secrets about the phoenix gall can only be accessed by the ruling class, in fact, that the bead is not capable of immortality is a kind of misunderstanding of the ancients. ”
Uncle Ming said: “right right, is that what bead, like this bead, in fact, in the South China Sea there are a lot of, when I was young, the very beginning is to follow the home of an uncle to run the ship, at that time the South China Sea is at war, the business to be more difficult to do how hard to do, one year we transported salt and rice things, I did not expect to run into the sea in the sea to swallow the boat of the fish.”
Fatty and I live in Fujian in our youth, I have also heard fishermen talk about the ocean in the distant sea there are big fish swallowing boats, but always unknown details, so let Uncle Ming said in more detail, a question to know, it turns out that “swallowing fish” is not specifically referring to a certain kind of fish, wherever the boat people in the sea can be encountered in the sea can be overrun by the boat in the deep sea giant fish, because I do not know the name, all to “swallowing fish”, “swallowing fish”. The word “swallow boat” is used to call it, and some people who have encountered shipwrecks will also use this word to describe their own encounters at sea, which is the so-called fate of the book mentioned in the “road has a blocking tiger, the water has swallowed the boat fish.”
However, Uncle Ming really ran into a big fish that time, the fish how big can not be described at all, can not be measured by our often said catty and feet of rice, however, this giant fish only in the deep sea in the outer ocean, Xinan south, all belong to the sea, after Hong Kong Fotangmen, is the wind and waves of the deep sea and the ocean, Uncle Ming and his uncle in the sea smuggling, in addition to the salt in addition to the ship’s cabin is also loaded with a lot of black-market goods, that time their ship just out of the mouth of the sea in the Fotangmen encountered trouble. That time their ship had just left Fotangkou and ran into trouble.
It was night, the moon is as bright as a mirror, look around the sea, endless, and just the wind and tide rest, the ship driving very stable, then the sailors on board the ship found the sea rolled up a huge wave, experienced sailors said this is the surge rather than the wave, the sea must be the first wind before the birth of the wave, the sea surge is not the wind, is the sea water itself turbulence formed.
With more and more surges, the sea reveals a mountain, vaguely cross constant in front of the people on board thought it was the occurrence of the sea Zi or surges of the spectacle, have stood on the side of the ship to watch curiously, all the sailors sailed through the waters of this past, have never seen the sea in the mountains and rocks towering over the ocean in the middle of the ocean and the deep sea and how there will be a lone rocky mountain out of the sea?
The group is suspicious of muttering suspicion, suddenly found that the bright moon under the surface of the sea changes again, a moment of effort from the bottom of the sea will float a number of huge rocks, Uncle Ming’s uncle soon found that the big bad, not the waves, but the sea appeared in the big fish, tonight the moon is bright and the wind is quiet, it must be the bottom of the sea group of fish swimming, exposed the surface of the sea is not a mountainous rocky island, but the spine and fins of the fish, and then instructed the crowd must not be loud noise. Then he instructed all the people to never raise their voices and quietly drive the boat far away, otherwise the fish will be alarmed, and once the waves come out, our boat will be sunk by the huge waves.
But not yet wait for the captain’s order to pass down, the sea water is tossed up, floating in the surface of the fish running to the boat where they are coming, this situation can only hurry to turn the rudder and turn around to escape, but the ship is not fast enough, there are several times were nearly overturned by the huge waves, in order to survive, the captain had to order the ship to be able to throw all the things thrown away in order to accelerate the light ship.
Finally threw all the goods, and the ship’s living people threw more than a dozen into the sea, the ship was able to escape death, sailed back to Fotanmen, the ship’s cargo losses, Uncle Ming and his uncle all the family belongings are lost, both of them almost let the debtors forced to jump into the sea, in order to recoup losses as soon as possible, had to take the risk of going to the coral spiral of the eye of the sea to pick beads.
Coral spiral is the seabed of a huge coral forest, which is said to have a bottomless sea eye, the surrounding waters and the deep sea ocean, high winds and waves, dangerous and unpredictable, also known as the graveyard of shipwrecks, coral forests have many giant clams, abound in pearls, whenever the full moon, hundreds of old clams in the sea, will open the shells to adopt the essence of the bright moon, some of the pearls have been growing for a thousand years, for the heaven and earth aura! The only thing, once at that time, through the seabed of the yin fire, the surface of the sea is all bright by the moonlight pearl.
Because of the coral spiral close to the deep sea, many aquatic fish will be attracted by the pearl wandering not to, the sea giant clam in order to protect themselves, easily will not completely open the clam shell, so a year, the seabed pearl reflecting the moon’s spectacle is only a few moments, are in the night of the moon is full want to eclipse.
