Chapter 165 Departure East Win
Tu Danlin did what he said, put everything aside, and set off for Dongying Kingdom with Xiaoman.

"You didn't say we were going to take a boat at the beginning." Xiaoman stood on the deck, wearing a sable hat, wrapped up like a rice dumpling, looking at the scenery on both sides of the river.

"Going down from the Mulun River, the port is not frozen when you leave the sea, and you will arrive at Dongying Kingdom all the way to the southeast, which is faster than the land route." Tu Danlin took a Tang Pozi and stuffed it into Xiaoman's hand, "It's windy on the river , Don’t catch the wind and cold, go back to the cabin.”

"It's rare to come out to play, and the scenery on both sides of the strait is so beautiful, how can I be willing to hide inside." Xiaoman held Mrs. Tang in both hands, and the cold fingertips slowly warmed up.

Tu Danlin saw that she was very interested, so he didn't force her to go back.He leisurely picked up the fishing rod by his hand, leaned on the side of the boat and threw the rod into the water.

"It's so cold, can you catch fish?" Xiaoman poked his head, looking at the float in the water in wonder, as if he didn't believe that any fish would take the bait.

"Be patient," Tu Danlin didn't know when he stood behind her, his left and right hands passed her waist to support the side of the boat, and just happened to wrap her in his arms, "Look carefully at the float, you will be hooked in a while."

"You fish when you are fishing, why are you so close to me, let me go out quickly." Xiao Man pushed Tu Dan Lin's arm, but found that he did it on purpose, the more he pushed, the tighter the circle became.

"Don't move, there are fish!" Tu Danlin suddenly shouted.

I saw that when he lifted the rod with his right hand, the top of the rod was bent into a crescent shape, and the fishing line was taut.

"Ah! I really caught it!" Xiaoman exclaimed.

Tu Danlin took the pole and walked the fish left and right.

"Come on, come on! Tu Danlin! Be careful not to let it run away!" Xiaoman jumped up and down excitedly, remembering from the side, "Be careful, slow down, it is too big and powerful! You Walk it! Come on, come on, Tu Danlin, come on!"

When the fish was relaxed for a moment, he lifted it suddenly, and the huge fish jumped out of the water, and landed on the deck along the direction the fishing rod passed.

"Oh yeah! You are really amazing! Such a big one!" Xiaoman looked at the one-inch-long fish, his eyes lit up like stars, "I didn't expect you to be so talented!"

Tu Danlin didn't go to see what he had gained, but only looked at Xiao Man who was brimming with joy.

Xiao Man stood beside the fish, bent down, and stretched out a finger to poke the head of the fish.Unexpectedly, the big fish jumped again, causing her to stagger backwards in fright, and fell into Tu Danlin's arms.

"It's just a fish, it's up to you." Tu Danlin held her up with a smile on his face.

Xiao Man blushed, and avoided him, turning her head to look at the gentle river.

Tu Danlin turned his head and shouted to the cabin: "Si Xing, order people to stew this fish in fish soup at noon."

Si Xing came out of the cabin and also showed a surprised expression when he saw the fish on the ground.He picked up the paddle at hand and hit the head of the fish with the paddle, causing the big fish to faint instantly.Si Xing walked into the cabin holding the fish mouth.

"Wait," Xiao Man stopped Si Xing, "Today I will cook this big fish."

"Her Royal Highness knows how to cook fish?"

"Are you kidding? My sister's cooking skills have been practiced since she was a child. You will definitely be full of praise." Xiao Man put Tang Pozi in Tu Danlin's hand, took off the mink fur hat and put it on his head, and then Put the fox fur around his shoulders, rolled up his sleeves, took the fish from Si Xing, and walked to the small kitchen on the boat.

Si Xing looked at Tu Danlin with black eyes: "Master, do you really want the princess to be a fish?"

"If she wants to do it, let her do it, as she likes." Tu Danlin put away the fishing rod, smiled and took off the mink fur hat, fox fur and Mrs. Tang, and put them in Si Xing's hands, like Xiao Man. He rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile, "I'll help her."

Si Xing tilted his head, held something in his hand, sighed "A hero is sad and beautiful", and walked into the cabin.

In the small kitchen, the chef on board was sent to rest by Xiao Man.

Holding a kitchen knife, she cleaned the scales, gills and internal organs with three strokes, five cuts, and then skillfully removed the bones of the fish with a dozen knives.Tu Danlin praised again and again in admiration.

Then she chopped the shallots, chopped the ginger, cut the tofu into cubes, fried the fish over low heat, and stewed the soup over low heat.

Instead, white rice was filled, washed with water, and steamed in a pot.

Then, she cut the mushrooms into cubes, chose small rapeseed, fried it quickly with clear oil, and the fragrance was overflowing.

After all this was done, Tu Danlin didn't even have a chance to intervene, he could only praise with all his heart and eyes.He looked at the picture of Xiaoman wearing an apron and busying around, which was so beautiful that it surpassed all the scenery in the six realms of Kyushu.

"If you can't get your hands in, go and set the bowls and chopsticks." Xiao Man commanded Tu Danlin, and put the bowls and chopsticks in his hands.

Tu Danlin held the bowls and chopsticks in a jerky manner, but obediently turned around to set them at the table.

Seeing him like that, Xiao Man laughed out loud, thinking that it really was Master Mozun, who didn't look like he had done any housework at all.

Soon, the fish soup and side dishes made by Xiaoman were served with steaming white rice.

"I didn't know you could cook." Tu Danlin sat at the table, looked at the lunch cooked by Xiaoman himself, and said approvingly.

Xiaoman put a bowl of fish soup in front of Tu Danlin, took out another bowl and put it in front of himself, and said with a smile: "I have no father or mother since I was a child, and no one made anything I wanted to eat. So I learned it by myself. , I can do it gradually. When I have a daughter, I will definitely teach her to cook, so that when I’m hungry, I don’t have to ask for help, and I can do it myself. There is no problem that cannot be cured by a good meal.”

"That can't be done," Tu Danlin took out a box of balm from his sleeve, took Xiaoman's hand, helped her apply it on her hand, rubbed it gently, and said, "If I have a daughter, I will definitely not let her learn If you cook, your daughter should be pampered. Cooking is so tiring, you are not allowed to do it in the future."

Xiao Man wanted to withdraw his hand, but was attracted by the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance of the balm, so he let him apply it unconsciously, "If you have a daughter, I'm afraid she will be spoiled by you and won't be able to marry."

"How come, my daughter will be as smart and beautiful as her mother, and many suitors will come to propose marriage, stepping on the threshold." Tu Danlin raised his head to look at Xiaoman, with a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xiaoman withdrew his hand abruptly, startled, dodged and said: "Okay, enough rubbing, let's eat quickly. The fish soup will become fishy when it cools."

"Okay." Tu Danlin filled a bowl of fish soup for Xiaoman, and then another bowl for himself.

"Where's Si Xing? I left him a lunch in the pot, but I didn't see anyone else." Xiao Man looked around.

"Don't worry about him, let's eat by ourselves." Tu Danlin took a sip of the fish soup, frowned slightly, and looked at Xiaoman suspiciously.

"What's the matter? Isn't it good?" Xiaoman asked a little nervously when he saw his face change.

"You made it just for me?" Tu Danlin's voice trembled slightly.

"Well," Xiaoman nodded, "I asked the cooks of Chiyan Valley, and they said that your taste is very bad now, so the taste should be stronger. So I added more seasoning to your bowl of soup. Isn't it delicious?"

Tu Danlin narrowed his eyes slightly, and a warm current rushed through his cold chest, "This fish soup is really, really delicious."

Xiaoman frowned, and smiled triumphantly, "It's just as long as you like it. I also know how to grow fish in many ways. I'll do it again when you catch another fish."

"Why are you so nice to me all of a sudden?" Tu Danlin asked lightly.

Xiaoman's chopsticks, which were about to pick up the mushrooms, froze, and after thinking about it, he said, "I can't repay you for being so kind to me. I can only do small things like cooking to make you happier. It's a courtesy."

"The more you behave like this, the more I can't let go." Tu Danlin smiled wryly.

Xiaoman put a piece of shiitake mushrooms in his mouth, bowed his head and ate two mouthfuls of rice, and then slowly said: "I can't help you with your stubborn temper. If you don't let me, I won't back down. I won't let you keep pushing like this." Good. I think, the days ahead will be long, so it’s better to think about things later, focus on the present moment now, and enjoy the journey.”
