The guy got the instructions and went to handle it quickly.

Shao Bing turned around and apologized to Shen Yizhi, "Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."

Shen Yizhi shook his head: "No problem." He then teased: "When you've been away for three days, you should look at someone with new eyes. San Bing has now become the shopkeeper of Tianyi Building. Congratulations."

Shao Bing laughed.

After entering the private room, when Shen Yizi and his companions sat down, Shao Bing presented them with a well-prepared menu.

Shen Yizhi ordered two of his favorite dishes, then passed the menu around and asked everyone to order a few.

Qing Bao and the other two gathered together, leaned over the menu, and tapped with their fingers.

"I want this, this, and this..."

While Shao Bing was writing down their orders, he asked, "Miss Shen, the three little guests ordered so much, I'm afraid they can't finish it, right?"

"You worry too much. They have big appetites." Shen Yizi said with a smile.

Shao Bing looked at the three little guys who were concentrating on ordering food. They were chubby, but their age was there. Even if they had big appetites, they couldn’t eat the amount of ten adults, right?

But since Miss Shen had already said so, he couldn't say anything else.

After ordering the dishes, Shao Bing asked, "Miss Shen, there will be a fish fighting show at 2 o'clock. Are you interested in watching it? If so, I will have someone reserve a seat for you."

Shen Yizhi: "Okay, it would be best if we could have a private room."

Come to think of it, she hasn't watched Douyu for several years and she missed it a lot.

After Shao Bing left, Cui Yue asked, "Sister Shen, what is Douyu? Could it be fighting fish? I only know of fighting crickets, fighting cocks, and fighting dogs, but I have never heard of fighting fish."

Shen Yizhi nodded: "Yes, it is fighting fish. Since there are fighting cocks and fighting crickets, why can't there be fighting fish? In the past, the island was not so lively and prosperous, so people came up with fighting fish as a way to pass the time. After all, it is surrounded by the sea. There are not many other things, but there are many fish, and there are also many fierce fish.

"Over time, fighting fish has become a custom in Qiandao Lake, and many industries related to fighting fish have spawned from it. For example, gambling on fish, fishing, raising fish, selling fish, etc. Of course, the fish here refer to those fierce and aggressive fish."

"What is fish betting?" Cui Yue asked.

Just at this time, the dishes were served. Shen Yizhi took care of Qing Bao and the other two while giving them some science: "Before a fish fight, the venue will usually hold a gambling game, allowing the audience to place bets on who will win or lose."

Cui Yue understood, "Oh, it's just like fighting crickets."

"Yeah, fighting and gambling are usually inseparable."

Everyone was very interested and ate much faster unconsciously for fear of missing it.

There is a circular building behind Tianyi Building, called Douyu Hall, which has three floors. The first and second floors have stands, and the third floor is for private rooms. The large area in the middle is a large pool, which is the Dou Pool. It is filled with seawater, and the fighting fish will take place in it.

Between Tianyi Building and Douyu Hall is a large garden, or to be more precise, a fish pond.

The fish pond is divided into separate pools, in which different kinds of fighting fish are raised. People who come here to fight fish can bring their own fish or buy them here.

The fish here are raised in batches, so they are naturally inferior to those betta fish that are carefully raised individually, but overall they are above average.

However, it is also possible to buy the "black horse fish", which is a fish that looks ordinary but is actually very ferocious.

Some fish are usually quiet and look easy to bully, but once they are picked on by other fish, they will go crazy in a second.

After dinner, Shen Yizhi brought a few people to the fish pond as if they were familiar with the place.

At first glance, there are fish everywhere, big and small, colorful, and some even in strange shapes.

Qing Bao and the others couldn't help but exclaimed: "So many fish!"

As a child who grew up inland, I had never seen so many different varieties of marine fish.

Cui Yue's performance was not much better than Qing Bao and the others. She was as excited as a child.

Together with Qingbao and the others, we lay on the fence and looked into the water.

The water in the fish pond is very clear and you can clearly see every move of the fishes in it.

"Hey, look! That fish can actually change color!"

Cui Yue pointed excitedly at a certain place where a fish was originally red, but just now it turned yellow and then green.

Shen Yizhi smiled and was about to give her some scientific advice when a sneer came from the side: "You country bumpkin are surprised by what you have never seen before!"

How dare you call her a country bumpkin?!

Cui Yue glared at him.

Shen Yizhi also looked over. The woman was wearing a cute goose yellow dress, with her chin slightly raised and a proud look. She was actually an acquaintance. There was also a young man standing next to her, dressed coquettishly and waving a folding fan. Who else could it be but Xia Ben?

It's true that enemies often meet in a narrow road.

"Xia Yan, I haven't seen you for so long, but you're still as mean as ever."

When Xia Yan saw her, her expression changed, "Shen Yizhi, why are you here?"

Shen Yizhi laughed, "Why can't I be here?"

Xia Yan gritted her teeth secretly.

Shen Yizi disappeared for four whole years. During these four years, she lived an easy and comfortable life without her looming over her head. But now she appeared again, appearing in front of her so unexpectedly.

She seemed to feel the fear of being dominated by her again.

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out from the side: "Blind, blind, mean-mouthed, mean-mouthed——"

The one who made the sound was Zhulainiao standing on Cui Yue's shoulder.

The people present were stunned at first, and then burst into laughter, with Cui Yue laughing the loudest.

Xia Yan's face suddenly turned gloomy.

As the daughter of the city's most prestigious family, the Xia family, who dared to laugh at her in person? Feeling the vague gazes from people around her, she felt a surge of anger in her heart.

Sure enough, nothing good happened when Shen Yizhi came back! Why didn't she die outside?

Xia Yan thought hatefully in her heart.

"Mother, this auntie seems to be about to hit someone." Qing Bao said crisply.

Ah, Aunt? Xia Yan's face turned green.

She is only eighteen years old, still a beautiful girl! This brat actually dared to call her auntie, he really has no manners!

Wait, did he just call Shen Yizhi "mother"? Xia Yan crossed her arms and glanced at him: "Shen Yizhi, I didn't expect that you disappeared for four years and brought back a bastard."

The word "bastard" really touched Shen Yizhi's reverse scale. He flashed in front of Xia Yan and slapped her. "Since you can't speak properly, I will teach you."
