Lu Yuhong stood on the boat and warned the Xie family servants who were delivering the fish: “Be careful, don’t spill it!
The servants from the Xie family, who were initially relaxed, became somewhat nervous after Lu Yuhong’s warning, causing their hands holding the pot to tremble slightly.
When the small boat approached, Lu Yuhong personally took over the pot.
Xie Jue came over, laughing and teasing: “Brother Lu, you’re not planning on keeping it all to yourself, are you?”
“I’m not as stingy as you, let’s go inside and eat. Then we’ll continue fishing,”
Lu Yuhong said as he placed the pot on a table inside the cabin.
Chu Lan then entered the cabin as well.
The servants on the boat prepared cutlery for the three of them, and they
began tasting the food.
Only at the first bite, Lu Yuhong showed a joyful expression: “This fish is too delicious! The meat is tender and fragrant.”
He then dropped all pretenses and enjoyed the food heartily.
He again praised: “The side dishes underneath are very flavourful too, and
what are these black beans? They’re savoury and fragrant!”
Compared to him, Chu Lan and Xie Jue’s reactions were much more subdued. It wasn’t that the food wasn’t good, but their well-bred manners didn’t allow them to lose their dignity over delicious food.
Especially Chu Lan, no matter how good the food was, he wouldn’t behave like
Lu Yuhong. Food didn’t hold such a weight in his heart.
Yet he also couldn’t deny, Wei Ruo’s prepared fish was exceptionally delicious and the method of grilling and boiling the fish along with a bunch of side dishes was very unique.
The fish was cut in half, and a fish of more than two catties didn’t yield much after getting halved, coupled with the side dishes they only had a half-filled pot. It didn’t take long for the three of them to finish.
Lu Yuhong still wanted more. Looking at the bottom of the pot, which was completely emptied, including the soup, was not enough for him.
He then urged Chu Lan and Xie Jue to continue fishing: “Don’t rest after eating, hurry back and fish more.”
Xie Jue helplessly said, “Brother Lu, at least let Miss Wei, who’s in charge of grilling the fish, take a rest.”
■■Then I have to fish more for backup. What if Miss Wei wants to grill more? We can’t not have fish for her to grill, right?”
Having said that, Lu Yuhong led Xie Jue and Chu Lan towards the bow of the boat.
Xie Jue glanced at Chu Lan and seeing that there was no unusual expression on his face, he felt relieved and followed them to the bow.
Among all the people of his generation that he knew, it seemed that only Lu Yuhong dared to drag the seventh prince around like this, and the seventh prince was especially tolerant of Lu Yuhong.
in addition to Lu Yuhong’s special status, the two had grown up together also played a part in this relationship.
By the time the three of them returned to the bow of the boat to continue fishing, Wei Ruo, Xie Ying, and Xiumei had also finished their half of the fish.
Xie Ying asked Wei Ruo: “Ruoruo, what are these black beans, they’re salty and taste pretty good.”
-This is fermented black bean, made from fermented soybeans, it can enhance
the flavour.” Wei Ruo explained.
“It’s amazing, you said soy sauce is also made from soybeans last time, how can one soybean create so many different things.” Xie Ying marvelled.
“The use of soybeans is vast. If I get the chance, I’ll make some soy milk and tofu for you, they’re delicious.” Wei Ruo said.
“Yes, yes!” Xie Ying had eaten soy milk and tofu before, but she was especially looking forward to what Wei Ruo would make.
Right after, Xie Ying lamented: “Ruoruo, if I were a man, I’d come to your house to propose and marry you!”
