Chapter 107 Delicious
Lu Yuhong stood on the boat and warned the servants of the Xie family who were delivering the fish: "Be careful, don't spill it!" The servants of the Xie family were not nervous
at first, but after being warned by Lu Yuhong, their hands holding the iron pot became a little nervous. Trembling.
When the boat came over, Lu Yuhong personally took over the iron pot.
Xie Jue came over and joked with a smile: "Brother Lu, you don't want to eat it all, do you?" "
I'm not as stingy as you. Let's go and eat in the cabin. After eating, we can continue fishing."
Lu Yuhong said as he said While carrying the iron pot to the table in the cabin.
Then Chu Lan also came in.
The servants on the boat prepared bowls and chopsticks for the three of them, and the three of them started tasting.
After the first bite, Lu Yuhong showed an expression of surprise: "This fish is so delicious! The meat is tender and fragrant."
Then he started to eat it regardless of the image.
Then he praised: "The side dishes here are also very delicious, and what are these black beans? They are very salty and fragrant!"
Compared to him, Chu Lan and Xie Jue's reactions were much duller. It’s not that the food doesn’t taste good, it’s that the years of education have kept me from losing my image just for the sake of delicious food.
Especially Chu Lan, no matter how delicious the food is, he will never be like Lu Yuhong. Food does not hold such a heavy weight in his heart.
But he also couldn't deny that Wei Ruo's fish was indeed delicious and special, and the method of grilling, boiling and adding a bunch of side dishes was also very novel.
The fish was cut in half. Half of the fish weighed more than two kilograms, but it was not much. With the side dishes, it was only half a pot, and the three of them finished it in a short time.
Lu Yuhong hadn't had enough yet. Looking at the bottom of the pot where even the soup had been consumed, he was still unsatisfied.
Then he urged Chu Lan and Xie Jue to go back and continue fishing: "Don't rest after eating, go back and catch a few more fish." Xie Jue said helplessly: "
Brother Lu, at least let Wei, who is in charge of grilling the fish, Miss, take a rest."
"Then I have to catch a few more fish and keep them. What if Miss Wei wants to grill them? You can't grill her without fish, right?" After saying this, Lu Yuhong
pulled Xie Jue and Chu Lan towards the bow of the boat. go.
Xie Jue glanced at Chu Lan and saw that his expression was normal, so he followed him to the bow of the ship with confidence.
Among the many people of his generation he knew, it seemed that only Lu Yuhong dared to pull the seventh prince like this, and the seventh prince was also extremely tolerant of Lu Yuhong.
Lu Yuhong's identity is part of this, and the two growing up together is also part of it.
When the three returned to the bow of the boat and continued fishing, Wei Ruo, Xie Ying and Xiumei also finished half of their fish.
Xie Ying asked Wei Ruo: "Ruoruo, what are these black beans of yours? It's salty and tastes pretty good." "
This is tempeh, made from fermented soybeans, which can enhance the flavor." Wei Ruo explained.
"It's amazing. You said last time that soy sauce is also made from soybeans. How can one soybean be used to make so many different things?" Xie Ying sighed.
"Soybeans are very useful. If I have a chance, I'll get you some soy milk and tofu curds. It's delicious." Wei Ruodao.
"Okay, okay!" It's not like Xie Ying has never eaten soy milk and tofu pudding, but she is particularly looking forward to what Wei Ruo makes.
Then Xie Ying said with emotion: "Ruoruo, if I were a man, I would go to your house to propose marriage and take you home!" "
If you were a man, I would ignore you." Wei Ruodao.
"Why?"
"It's not good for a husband and wife to be friends. There are few affectionate men in this world, and there are many Chen Shimei who are unkind and unjust." "
It's hard to say. I think my parents are pretty good. My mother doesn't think my father is a minor official. , my father doesn’t mind that my mother is a merchant, and they respect each other as guests." Xie Ying said. "Your parents are rare. In Taizhou Prefecture, do you think there are many families who don't take concubines?" Wei Ruodao said.
"It's really not much. I only know that the prefect doesn't take concubines, and he wouldn't dare to think about it. The prefect's wife is a princess from Prince Huai's Palace. If he dares to take one, then Prince Huai's Palace will not spare the Yuan family." "So
you Yeah, you better be my good sister, I won't miss you if I have delicious food, my future husband may not be so lucky!" Wei Ruodao.
"Okay! Let's be good sisters!" Xie Ying looked happy.
After the two sisters whispered for a while, Xie Ying went back to fishing.
Seeing Lu Yuhong cheating on the opposite side and using two fishing rods, Xie Ying was not to be outdone and asked someone to prepare an extra fishing rod.
Then no matter who of the two takes the bait, the other will stare at it with wide eyes, fearing that the fish caught by the other party is bigger than his own.
Lu Yuhong shouted: "No matter what, I can't lose to a girl's family."
Xie Ying was unconvinced: "What's wrong with a girl's family? Girls' families are not necessarily weaker than men!"
Lu Yuhong: "I didn't say you were weak, it's just that I don't I should be weaker than you."
Xie Ying: "There is nothing that should or should not be done. Let's talk about the facts. I am catching more fish than you now!"
Lu Yuhong: "It's too early to draw a conclusion before it's over!"
Xie Ying: "I will catch more in the future!
I will definitely be better than you!" Lu Yuhong said: "Then let's compete!"
As they said that, the two of them glared at each other several times.
Xie Ying and Lu Yuhong seemed to be competing with each other, neither one convinced the other.
Xie Jue had a headache. As a younger sister, she had never given up defeat since she was a child. She hated the idea of others saying bad things about her family.
As for Lu Yuhong, he has a very competitive personality and will ignore it when he becomes competitive.
I thought there would be no problem if they were on two separate ships, but I never thought that the two of them could fight even though they were so far apart.
Fortunately, the two of them went back to fighting and didn't really quarrel. They just exchanged harsh words in the distance.
While Xie Ying and Lu Yuhong were competing, Wei Ruo grilled a second fish, using the belly portion of the fish Xie Ying had caught.
In the same way, grill both sides until golden brown, then cook with the fried spices and garnishes.
Finally, Wei Ruo added black beans to the fish.
Wei Ruo made two portions of grilled fish at the same time this time, one portion was kept to eat with Xie Ying and Xiumei, and the other portion was given to the three people opposite.
After finishing these two portions, several of them were seventy-eight percent full.
The remaining fresh fish were kept in wooden barrels. Lu Yuhong originally wanted to give them to Wei Ruo, but Wei Ruo declined because it was inconvenient for her to go out, and finally gave them all to Xie Jue.
As for the result of the competition between Xie Ying and Lu Yuhong, there was no winner in the end because the fish caught by the two were of different varieties, sizes and quantities.
In the end, Chu Lan acted as a peacemaker: "Everyone has his own merits, and there is no winner or lose."
Chu Lan had already spoken, and naturally Xie Ying and Lu Yuhong no longer had any opinions.
Then Wei Ruo and Xie Ying separated from the three of them, and they took Chu Lan's boat back to the shore.
Chu Lan, who was still on the boat, asked Lu Yuhong: "Brother Yu, are you satisfied this time?"
