Blessed Daughter

Lu Yuhong stood on the boat and warned the servants of Xie's family who delivered the fish: "Be careful, don't spill it!"

The servants of Xie's family were not nervous at first, but after being told by Lu Yuhong, the hand holding the iron pot trembled a little.

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

Xie Jue came over, laughed and teased, "Brother Lu, don't you want to take it all by yourself?"

"I'm not as stingy as you. Let's go, eat in the cabin, and continue fishing after eating."

While speaking, Lu Yuhong brought 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 began to taste.

After taking the first bite, Lu Yuhong showed a surprised expression: "This fish is too delicious! The meat is tender and fragrant."

After that, he began to feast on it with some disregard for his image.

Then he praised: "The side dishes here are also very tasty, and what are these black beans? They are very salty!"

Compared to him, Chu Lan and Xie Jue's reactions were much more flat. It's not that the food is not tasty, but because of years of upbringing, he won't lose his image just because of delicious food.

Especially Chu Lan, no matter how delicious the food is, he will not be like Lu Yuhong. Food is not so important in his heart.

But he can't deny that Wei Ruo's fish is really delicious and special, and the way of grilling, boiling and adding a bunch of side dishes is also very novel.

The fish was cut in half, and a fish that weighed more than two catties, half was not much, and with side dishes, it was only half a pot, and the three of them finished eating in a short while.

Lu Yuhong hadn't finished eating yet, looking at the bottom of the pot where even the soup was gone, he couldn't get enough of it.

Immediately afterwards, 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."

Xie Jue said helplessly, "Brother Lu, at least you should give Miss Wei, who is in charge of grilling fish, a rest."

"Then I'll catch a few more and keep them. What if Miss Wei wants to roast them? Can't there be no fish for her to roast?"

When Lu Yuhong said he had landed, he dragged Xie Jue and Chu Lan to the bow of the boat.

Xie Jue glanced at Chu Lan and saw that his expression was normal, so he followed to the bow with confidence.

Among so many people of the same generation he knew, it seemed that only Lu Yuhong dared to pull the seventh prince so much, and the seventh prince was also extraordinarily tolerant towards Lu Yuhong.

Lu Yuhong's identity is a part of this, and the two of them grew up together is also a part.

When the three returned to the bow to continue fishing, Wei Ruo, Xie Ying and Xiumei also finished half of their fish.

Xie Ying asked Wei Ruo: "Ruoruo, what are your black beans? They taste salty, and they taste pretty good."

"This is tempeh, which is made by fermenting soybeans, which can increase the aroma and taste." Wei Ruo explained.

"It's amazing. Last time you said that soy sauce is also made from soybeans. How can one soybean make so many different things?" Xie Ying sighed.

"Soy beans are very effective. If there is a chance, I will make you some soy milk and bean curd. It's delicious." Wei Ruo said.

"Okay, okay!" It's not that Xie Ying has never eaten soy milk and tofu curd, but she is looking forward to what Wei Ruo cooked.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Ying said with emotion: "Ruoruo, if I were a man, I would go to your house to propose marriage and marry you back home!"

"If you were a man, I would ignore you." Wei Ruo said.

"Why?"

"Husbands and wives can't have friends. There are few affectionate men in this world, and most of them are fickle and ungrateful Chen Shimei."

"That's hard to say. I think my parents are very good. My mother doesn't think my father is a petty official, and my father doesn't think my mother is a businessman. The two respect each other like guests." Xie Ying said.

"Your parents are rare, let's say that in this Taizhou mansion, how many families do you think don't take concubines?" Wei Ruo said.

"Indeed, there are not many. I only know that the magistrate does not take concubines. He would not dare to come if he thinks about it. The magistrate's wife is a princess from the Huai Palace. If he dares to accept it, the Huai Palace will not spare the Yuan family."

"So you should still be my good sister. I won't lose you if I have delicious food. My future husband may not have such a blessing!" Wei Ruo said.

"Okay! Let's be good sisters!" Xie Ying looked happy.

After the two sisters whispered for a while, Xie Ying went back to fishing again.

Seeing Lu Yuhong on the opposite side cheating with two fishing rods, Xie Ying was not to be outdone, and asked someone to prepare an extra fishing rod.

After that, no matter which one of the two caught the fish, the other would stare at it with wide eyes, for fear that the fish caught by the other would be bigger than their own.

Lu Yuhong yelled, "No matter what, I can't lose to a girl."

Xie Ying was not convinced: "What's wrong with the girl's family? The girl's family is not necessarily weaker than the man!"

Lu Yuhong: "I didn't say you were weak, but I shouldn't be weaker than you."

Xie Ying: "There is nothing that should or shouldn't be done. Let's talk about the facts. I'm catching more fish than you now!"

Lu Yuhong: "It's too early to draw conclusions!"

Xie Ying: "I will catch more in the future! I must be better than you!"

Lu Yuhong: "Then let's compete!"

As they spoke, the two stared at each other several times.

Xie Ying and Lu Yuhong seemed to be competing with each other, and neither of them accepted the other.

Xie Jue had a headache for a while. This younger sister of hers had never conceded defeat since she was a child.

As for Lu Yuhong, he has a very competitive personality, and he doesn't care about it when he becomes competitive.

I thought it would be no problem to be on the two ships separately, but I never thought that the two could fight across a long distance.

Fortunately, the two fought back, and they didn't really quarrel, they just spoke harshly in the air.

When Xie Ying and Lu Yuhong were fighting each other, Wei Ruo grilled a second fish, using the belly cut from the fathead fish that Xie Ying caught.

In the same way, bake until golden on both sides, then cook with sautéed spices and side dishes.

Finally, Wei Ruo added black beans to the fish.

This time Wei Ruo cooked two grilled fish at the same time, one was kept for Xie Ying and Xiumei to eat, and the other was given to the three people opposite.

After eating these two servings, several people were seven or eight percent full.

The rest of the 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 entrusted them all to Xie Jue.

As for the results of the competition between Xie Ying and Lu Yuhong, there was no winner, because the fish they caught were of different species, sizes, and quantities.

In the end, Chu Lan became a peacemaker: "Everyone has his own merits, and there is no winner or loser."

After Chu Lan had spoken, Xie Ying and Lu Yuhong naturally had no objections.

After that, 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, "Brother Yu, are you satisfied this time?"
