Chapter 107 – Delicious

Lu Yuhong stood on the boat and warned the Xie family underlings delivering the fish, “Be careful, don’t spill it!”

Xie’s subordinate was not nervous, but by Lu Yuhong so admonished instead, the hand holding the iron pot shook a little.

When the boat came over, Lu Yuhong personally took over the iron pot.

Jue Xie walked over and teased with a smile, “Brother Lu, you’re not trying to take it all for yourself, are you?”

“I’m not as cheap as you are, come on, go to the cabin and eat, then we’ll continue fishing afterward.”

Lu Yuhong said as he brought the iron pot to the table inside the cabin.

And then Chu Lan came in.

The ship’s underlings prepared bowls and chopsticks for the three of them, and they savored them.

With only the first bite, Lu Yuhong revealed an expression of surprise, “This fish is also too delicious! The meat is tender and flavorful.”

And then it was a somewhat unimaginative feast.

Then he praised, “The side dishes underneath this are also very flavorful, and what are these black beans? It’s so savory!”

Compared to him, Chu Lan and Xie Jue’s reactions were much more subdued. It wasn’t that the food wasn’t delicious, but the years of upbringing were there, not so much that they lost their image for the sake of mouthfuls of food.

Especially Chu Lan, no matter how delicious something was, he wouldn’t be like Lu Yuhong. The weight of food in his heart would not be that heavy.

But he couldn’t deny that Wei Ruo’s fish was really delicious and special, and this roasting and cooking and putting a bunch of side dishes was also very novel.

Fish is split in half, more than two pounds of fish, got half of the fish is not much, plus side dishes are also shallow small half pot, not a moment the three people will eat up.

Lu Yuhong hadn’t had enough, looking at the bottom of the pot where even the soup had been consumed, he couldn’t get enough.

Immediately afterward, he urged Chu Lan and Xie Jue to go back and continue fishing: “Don’t rest when you’re done eating, hurry back and catch a few more.”

Jue Xie said helplessly, “Brother Lu, you should at least let Miss Wei, who’s in charge of grilling the fish, take a break.”

“Then I’ll have to catch a few more and keep them too. What if Ms. Wei wants to grill them? There can’t be no fish for her to grill, right?”

With that, Lu Yuhong pulled Xie Jue and Chu Lan towards the bow of the boat.

Jue Xie glanced at Chu Lan and saw that there was no difference in his expression before he felt relieved to follow to the bow of the boat.

Of all the people of his generation that he knew, it seemed that Lu Yuhong was the only one who dared to drag the Seventh Prince so much, and the Seventh Prince was extraordinarily tolerant of Lu Yuhong.

Lu Yuhong’s identity is part of this, and the fact that the two grew up together is also part of it.

As the three returned to the bow of the boat to continue fishing, Wei Ruo, Xie Ying, and Xiu Mei had also finished their half of the fish.

Xie Ying asked Wei Ruo, “Ruoruo, what is this black bean of yours? It tastes salty and the flavor is not bad.”

“This is tempeh, made by fermenting soybeans, it can increase the aroma and flavor.” Wei Ruo explained.

“It’s amazing, you said last time that soy sauce is also made from soybeans, how can a soybean still make so many different things.” Xie Ying lamented.

“Soybeans can be very useful, when I have a chance I’ll get you some soybean milk and soybean flower, it’s delicious.” Wei Ruo said.

“Good ah good ah!” It wasn’t that Xie Ying hadn’t eaten soybean milk and soybean flower before, but she was especially looking forward to the one Wei Ruo made.

Immediately after that, Xie Ying lamented, “Ruoruo, if I were a man, I would go to your house to propose marriage and marry you home!”

“I wouldn’t ignore you if you were a guy.” Wei Ruo said.

“Why?”

“Husband and wife are not as good as friends; there are few affectionate men in this world, and the thinly veiled Chen Shimei is predominant.”

“That’s not easy to say, I think my parents are quite good, my mother doesn’t dislike my father’s official small, my father doesn’t dislike my mother’s origin as a merchant, the two respect each other like a guest.” Xie Ying said.

“Your parents are rare, let’s just say that in this Taizhou Prefecture, how many families do you see today that don’t have concubines?” Wei Ruo said.

“Indeed not much, I only know that Lord Zhifu is not concubines, I think he does not dare, Lady Zhifu but from the Huai Wang House of the county, he dared to take, that Huai Wang House can not forgive the Yuan family.”

“So you ah still be my good sister, I have delicious food will not be less you, my future husband may not have such a blessing!” Wei Ruo said.

“Good! Let’s be good sisters!” Xie Ying had a happy face.

After the sisters whispered for a while, Xie Ying continued back to fishing.

Seeing Lu Yuhong on the opposite side cheating with two fishing rods, Xie Ying was not willing to show weakness and also had an extra fishing rod prepared.

And then whoever of the two had a fish on the hook, the other would look at it with wide eyes, fearing that the other had caught a bigger fish than his own.

Lu Yuhong yelled, “In any case, I can’t lose to a girl.”

Xie Ying was unconvinced, “What’s wrong with a girl’s family? A girl’s family isn’t necessarily weaker than a man’s!”

Lu Yuhong: “I didn’t say you were weak, just that I shouldn’t be weaker than you.”

Xie Ying: “There’s no such thing as should or shouldn’t, let’s take the facts, I’m just catching more fish than you right now!”

Lu Yuhong: “It’s too early to draw conclusions before it’s over!”

Xie Ying: “I’ll catch more next! Definitely better than you!”

Lu Yuhong: “Then let’s compare!”

Said the two as they glared at each other with their eyes for several moments.

The two of them, Xie Ying and Lu Yuhong, seemed to be competing with each other, and neither of them was convinced of the other.

Xie Jue had a headache, this sister of his had been defiant since she was a child, and could not stand to see others say that a girl’s family couldn’t do it.

As for Lu Yuhong, he is a straight and aggressive, and he doesn’t care if he is aggressive.

I thought that there should not be any problems on two separate ships, but I never thought that the two could fight even from a long distance away.

It was good that the two fought and didn’t really get into a fight, but only put harsh words in the air.

While Xie Ying and Lu Yuhong were battling it out, Wei Ruo grilled a second fish, using the location of the belly of the fathead fish that Xie Ying had caught and cut off.

Do the same, grill until golden brown on both sides, then cook with sautéed spices and side dishes.

Finally Wei Ruo added black beans to the fish.

Wei Ruo made two portions of grilled fish at the same time this time, one stayed behind to eat with Xie Ying and Xiu Mei, and the other was given to the three people across the street.

After these two servings, a few people were also seven or eight minutes full.

The rest of the fresh fish are raised in barrels, Lu Yuhong originally wanted to give Wei Ruo, Wei Ruo to her out of the house inconveniently politely refused, and finally entrusted all to Xie Jue.

As for the results of the match between Xie Ying and Lu Yuhong, there was no winner or loser in the end, because the two caught different varieties of fish, different sizes, and different quantities.

In the end, Chu Lan made peace, “Each has its own merits, there is no winner or loser.”

Chu Lan had spoken, so Xie Ying and Lu Yuhong naturally couldn’t afford to have any more opinions.

And then Wei Ruo and Xie Ying separated from the three of them, and they returned to the shore in Chu Lan’s boat first.

Chu Lan, who was still on the boat, asked Lu Yuhong, “Is Brother Yuh satisfied this time?”
