Traveling through the ancient times

After a few people boarded the ship, the cruise ship slowly left the shore and headed downstream.

Lu Mingqian was initially worried about whether Nianchuhua would get seasick, but seeing how excited she was along the way, he realized that he was worrying too much.

Lu Mingcheng took a few people to tour the entire cruise ship from bottom to top, and finally returned to the deck to enjoy the scenery along the way.

Since Qunan is located in the upper reaches, their trip was considered downstream, and the speed was quite fast. They arrived at Chaimu Town near noon.

They needed to get off the boat and find a local to act as a guide. Outside Chaimu Town was the boundless ocean. Asking a local to lead the way would help them find the island more accurately to prevent them from getting lost at sea.

The people in Chaimu Town make a living by fishing, and seafood is the staple food here. After getting off the boat, Lu Mingcheng sent someone to find a reliable person nearby to lead the way for them.

They went to the town, found a restaurant that looked pretty good, and ordered a seafood feast with various kinds of fish, shrimps, and crabs.

Lu Mingqian had been with the three of them for a long time, and seemed to have acquired the attribute of a foodie. As soon as the dishes were served, he began to eat with gusto.

Although for those who were born at the top of the pyramid and are used to eating delicacies from land and sea, this folk special way of eating is still worth a try. What's more, when you are with foodies, everything you eat will taste better than usual.

Neither Shouchuhua nor Jiang Ruixue would act like masters. Whatever they were eating, they would buy a portion for Mingyue Hualing as well.

The two little girls, who were frightened at the beginning, have now become calm and composed. They eat whatever the young lady tells them to eat. Anyway, the young lady will not harm them.

Therefore, even Xingyi and Yanshu were silently sighing in their hearts that since their master became familiar with Miss Jiang and Miss Nian, the quality of the food for them, the servants, had improved a lot. Eating and drinking with their masters all day long, they had all gained a lot of weight!

After lunch, several people walked towards the dock. On the way, they saw some fresh and plump seafood that had just been caught. Chushouhua couldn't help but buy some. There were also cooks on the boat, so they could cook for him in the evening.

Back on the deck, the guard Lu Mingcheng sent to find a guide brought a middle-aged man in his thirties with a strong build to Lu Mingcheng.

The guard introduced the man to Lu Mingcheng as Chen Er, a fisherman in the town who had personally been to the colorful fairy island several times.

This is of course the best thing to do. It is much more reliable to go there in person than just hear about it.

Seeing that these young men and women had extraordinary temperaments and were humble and polite, Chen Er thought that they must be scions of wealthy families who had heard about the Seven-Colored Fairy Island and wanted to go there for a visit.

It was just a trip for them, so there shouldn't be any trouble. Besides, they paid him well, more than he could earn from fishing in one trip. Chen Er greeted them happily and promised to bring them to the island safely.

With a guide, there was no time to waste and Lu Mingcheng directly announced the departure for the Colorful Fairy Island.

Following the direction pointed by Chen Er, they moved forward quickly on the sea.

It was a sunny day today and there was no shelter on the sea. As the sailing speed increased, the sea breeze became stronger and stronger. It was difficult to stand on the deck, so a few people went into the cabin to drink tea and chat.

Chushulhua, who was bored, thought of the seafood they bought when they boarded the ship and said, "Ruixue, shall we go down and cook some seafood?"

Jiang Ruixue was also a little bored, so she readily agreed, "Okay, let's cook some seafood and marinate some meat. When the sun sets, we can go to the deck to have a barbecue and watch the sunset. The sunset over the sea must be beautiful."

They acted immediately and ran to the kitchen excitedly, looking at the fish and shrimps swimming in the tank. They had eaten seafood before, but had never prepared it themselves, so they didn't know where to start.

When the cook saw it, he came forward and said that he would do it himself, saying that the masters didn't know how to cook these things, and they would have a strong fishy smell and could easily hurt their hands.

When Chen Er saw this, he came over to help. These fishermen were quite good at handling seafood. Chushulhua and his friends did not try to overpower them, but just watched them from the side and learned their skills.

With Chen Er's help, a large plate of fish and shrimp was quickly prepared, and the maids also marinated the meat slices.

Lu Mingcheng had asked someone to prepare the barbecue seasonings in advance when he was in Qunan. Now they were all moved to the deck. Lu Mingqian ordered the guard at the helm to slow down, find a sheltered location, set up the barbecue grill and start grilling.

They didn't ask the maid to do it either. Lu Mingcheng was still in charge of the barbecue. Chushouhua was making milk tea for the few people. He poured the coconut juice on the boat into the cups, added some ice cubes and put a few mint leaves on them.

She cut some more fruit and made a plate of fruit salad. The ice cubes and salad dressing were all brought from the hot pot restaurant. She thought that when traveling at sea, she must bring some food and drinks to make the journey more perfect.

The milk tea salad was served, and Lu Mingcheng had also finished grilling some of the food. Then they sat around the table and began to enjoy the sunset over the sea.

Yanshu took over the barbecue job, but he refused at first because he didn't know how to cook barbecue.

As a result, Lu Mingcheng said that if you can't cook, you will never get married. Yanshu rolled up his sleeves and began to imitate Lu Mingcheng, turning the meat and sprinkling seasonings. Although his technique was clumsy, he still managed to roast it, but it was a little burnt.

Lu Mingcheng praised him and rewarded him with the first piece of barbecue he had grilled. If it weren't for the disgust that Lu Mingcheng couldn't hide in his eyes, Yan Shu would have really thought that his master was rewarding him!

Yanshu looked at the black barbecue on the plate in front of him, closed his eyes, and swallowed it in big mouthfuls. He smacked his lips a few times after finishing. It tasted okay, except that the color was a little dark, there was no other problem.

Yanshu felt that he had a talent for grilling meat, so he picked up another piece of meat and continued grilling.

The ones that were roasted later were much better and started to be served on the masters’ tables!

Xing Yi, who was watching from the side, was also eager to try, as he also wanted to get married.

So while Yanshu went to the bathroom, he washed his hands, stood where Yanshu had just stood, and started to grill the meat, imitating Yanshu's movements. He had been observing Yanshu for a long time and was quite adept at it.

Yanshu came back and saw Xingyi occupying his seat, so he walked up to him and tried to push him away. However, Xingyi refused to do so and used his inner strength to stand in a horse stance. No matter how Yanshu pushed him, he did not move at all. All he had in his eyes was the barbecue, which made the people standing by laugh.

Seeing that he couldn't drive them away, Yan Shu took a break and took a piece of meat and started grilling it nearby. There were two big men standing on the grill, and although it was a bit crowded, there was still enough room for them.

Mingyue and Hualing were responsible for serving the dishes and adding tea.

Chu Shihua asked Hua Ling and the others not to just focus on them, but to let them eat something too. Chen Er was also called over, and he and several maids and guards grilled and ate nearby.

This afternoon was very pleasant, watching the sunset gradually disappear into the sea and sky, and the sky also darkened.

The sea breeze was stronger at night, making the food a little chilly. The group had almost finished eating, so they moved into the cabin.

Chen Er came forward and said that if they continued along this route, they should be able to reach the island by daybreak. Everyone was very excited and went back to their rooms to have a good night's rest and regain their energy so that they could have fun on the island tomorrow.
