Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

In the wilderness, the food preparation methods were very crude, with almost only a few methods, such as steaming, stewing, roasting and baking, using water to transfer heat. The seasonings were also very monotonous. Except for the clans and the royal family, even salt was rarely available.

Therefore, in the academy, many students feel that they cannot easily leave the academy just for the food in the academy cafeteria.

Hao Ling Jiuyao herself had suffered a lot during her years of wandering in the wilderness, but at least she had developed the skill of cooking. She had only been in charge of the academy's internal affairs for a while, but she had already secretly learned a lot of cooking methods. With the inspiration of Jiang Xinxin, she also picked out a lot of ingredients that could be used for seasoning from the medicinal herbs.

Xuan and Chishui Fenglong played a game of chess, and Chishui Fenglong lost rather embarrassingly. Chen Rong Xinyue received a hint from her brother and quickly suggested, "It would be a waste of time if we don't go fishing in the lake. Besides, I see that the princess didn't prepare any fish, which shows that the princess wants you gentlemen to show off your skills."

Fangfeng Yiying was very supportive of her cheap bestie at this time, and was the first to respond, "Yes, yes, we come to the lake to cruise, we can't just listen to some stringed instruments, how about you gentlemen have a fishing competition?"

Fangfeng Yiying had a good idea. Her cheap second brother Xiangliu was a great monster in the sea. It was just fishing. Who else here could compare to him?

Chishui Fenglong also took the opportunity to invite Xuanxuan and Rushou: "How is it? The two princesses and the young ladies are watching."

As Xuan followed Chishui Fenglong out, he said with a smile, "Haoling has a lot of water. Although I am not good at swimming, I have a few tricks in fishing. My junior brother Ruoshou is the same. Young Master Chishui is good at swimming and fishing. It seems that Young Master Fangfeng is at a disadvantage."

Fangfeng Yiying looked at Chen Rong Xinyue's worried eyes and gave her a soothing smile. When she lowered her head, she couldn't help but complain that Xuan was nosy. Although what he said seemed to be true, there was no need to embarrass him in public like this!

Hao Ling Jiuyao listened to Hao Lingyi happily saying that Xuan would definitely be the first. She felt that even if Chishui Fenglong, a water-savvy person, was not present today, Xuan would not be able to get away with it even if he was in Rushou's hands. What's more, there was Xiangliu who was trying hard to pretend to be a playboy.

Hao Ling Jiuyao couldn't help teasing Hao Ling Yi, "Logically speaking, you grew up with Brother Di Xuan and Cousin Ru Shou, why do you only miss Brother Di Xuan? Is Cousin Ru Shou not good to you?"

Ruoshou also joined in the fun when he heard this: "Yes, yes, I am your cousin, but you always call me Ruoshou. Isn't my cousin good to you?"

Although Hao Lingyi is a little spoiled, after seeing the life of ordinary people in Qingshui Town, most of this arrogance has gone away. What remains is just the arrogance of a little girl. Besides, she has a sweet mouth, and anyone who spends some time with her will like her.

Now that she was being bullied by her brothers and sisters, she just blushed and tried to make herself look innocent but confident: "What are you talking about? Why am I not nice to Ruoshou?! Although we are both brothers, Brother Xuan is different from Ruoshou."

Hao Lingyi's meaning was very clear, Rushou was a legitimate brother, and Xuan was the lover with whom she wanted to spend her life, so after Hao Lingjiuyao and Rushou understood her subtext, they couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in their hearts.

It happened that Xuan heard all this, and turned back to support Hao Lingyi with a smile: "Xiaoyao, don't follow Rushou in bullying Anian, she is still young. Rushou, too, we are brothers, why do you know how to be jealous all day long."

Seeing that Xixuan was so close to her after a long time, and told Haoling Jiuyao not to bully her, Haoling Yi couldn't help but let go of the hand that was holding Haoling Jiuyao, and happily came to Xixuan's side, hugging Xixuan's arm intimately as before and acting coquettishly: "Brother Xixuan is still the best, unlike Rushou who bullies me!"

Chen Rong Xinyue was somewhat interested in Xixuan. She saw that Xixuan was the grandson of the King of Xiyan, and the only legitimate descendant of the late Queen Xiling Lei. She also saw that Xixuan was a relatively upright person, much better than the Fifth and Seventh Kings who were corrupt in private. Naturally, she hoped that if they had to arrange a marriage, it would be best if it was with a gentleman like Xixuan who had both status, good looks, and bearing.

Fangfeng Yiying, who was standing with Chen Rong Xinyue, could not help but lower her head and rolled her eyes at Xuan again. She could see clearly that this grandson of the Western Yan prince had the Second Princess Haoling under his control. Didn't she see that the First Princess Haoling and Rushou both had gloomy faces?

Xiangliu felt somewhat happy when he saw Hao Ling Jiuyao and Rushou's expressions as if they had swallowed a fly when they saw Hao Lingyi's behavior. He raised his eyebrows at Hao Ling Jiuyao and smiled slightly, which made Hao Ling Jiuyao so angry that she rolled her eyes.

Hao Ling Jiuyao was really convinced. This Xiang Liu was so stingy. It was just that the gifts given to her by the two masters were a little swollen, but he was here arguing with her. It was so ugly!

Hao Ling Jiu Yao's eyes rolled and she suggested, "I heard that Fang Feng is well-known in the wilderness for his skill in archery. Master Fang Feng is here today, so fishing is really a bit ordinary. Why don't you show off your archery skills and shoot some fish?"

Chishui Fenglong found it interesting as soon as he heard it. He himself was a person who could not sit still and liked novelty and excitement. Haoling Jiuyao's suggestion really touched his heart. "Your Highness Princess, this suggestion is very interesting. Why don't I assist Master Fangfeng and drive the fish out of the water so that Master Fangfeng can show his skills!"

As he spoke, Chishui Fenglong had already used his spiritual power to stir the water for a while, and he actually managed to pull up a school of fish of moderate size.

Things had come to this point, Hao Ling Jiuyao asked someone to fetch the bow and arrow that he had prepared temporarily. After all, today was just for fun and not for anything else. Xiang Liu took the bow and arrow without a good temper and shot at the school of fish that were lifted up in the air. He shot two fish with one arrow, and both arrows went through the gills. It can be seen that this playboy really deserves the name of Fang Feng.

"Good good!"

Everyone cheered for Xiang Liu's move. Hao Ling Jiu Yao even took out the secret seasonings she brought from the academy: "I have quite a few secret seasonings from the academy here, which are very suitable for frying, stir-frying, or deep-frying. Mr. Fang Feng just needs to shoot the fish. As the host, I will make sure that everyone enjoys their food and has a great time!"

When talking about the secret seasoning from the academy, everyone present couldn't help swallowing their saliva. They had all seen it at Hao Ling Jiuyao's ceremony that day. Even Hao Lingyi, Xuan Xuan and Rushou, who had gotten used to the taste over the past few days, couldn't help but think about it at this moment, because they all knew that Hao Ling Jiuyao was about to leave Wushen Mountain and return to the academy. Even if she left some collections behind, it might not be enough for them to squander.

Xiang Liu couldn't bear to see Hao Ling Jiu Yao showing off with the things from the academy, so he shot two more arrows and caught five fish in total. Then he handed the bow and arrow to Chi Shui Feng Long who was closest to him, "Young Master Chi Shui, try your swordsmanship too. You are a son of a wealthy family, so you must have learned the art of riding and archery since you were a child. Even if your archery is not as famous as Fang Feng's, it must be not bad at all."

Rushou volunteered to assist Chishui Fenglong and interrupted what Xuanxuan wanted to say. In fact, it was not that Rushou did not give Xuanxuan the opportunity to win over Chishui Fenglong, but his cultivation was not as good as Rushou's, and Rushou was worried that he would go wrong halfway.

A group of people quickly shot several large fish. Hao Ling Jiuyao stepped forward to sort them out. Those with fewer bones were marinated in advance to be made into grilled or fried fish, those with more bones were used to make soup, and the rest were used to scrape the fish meat with a spoon to make meatballs and cook them in the fish soup.

After she made this arrangement, everyone was looking forward to it. Because of the interesting fishing and delicious food, the day's lake tour went exceptionally smoothly, and everyone was still not satisfied when it ended.
