Lu Yuhong stood on the ship 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 Lu Yuhong's warning, their hands holding the iron pot began to tremble.
When the small boat arrived, Lu Yuhong personally took over the iron pot.
Xie Jue walked over and teased with a smile, "Brother Lu, you won’t take it all for yourself, do you?"
"I'm not as stingy as you. Let's go eat in the cabin, finish this meal, and then continue fishing."
As Lu Yuhong spoke, he lifted the iron pot onto the table inside the cabin.
Then Chu Lan also came in.
The servants on the ship prepared bowls and chopsticks for the three of them, and the three of them tasted the dish.
On his first bite, Lu Yuhong showed a surprised expression and said, "This fish is too delicious! The meat is tender and fragrant."
Then he ate heartily without caring about his image.
Then he praised, "The side dishes are also very flavorful, and what is this black bean? It's very salty and fragrant!"
Compared to him, Chu Lan and Xie Jue's reactions were much calmer. It wasn’t that the food was not tasty, but rather that years of upbringing had prevented them from losing their image for a taste of delicious food.
Especially Chu Lan, no matter how delicious the food is, he wouldn't be like Lu Yuhong. He didn’t think food was more important than his image.
But he cannot deny that Wei Ruo's fish is indeed delicious and unique, and her method of grilling, cooking, and adding a bunch of side dishes is also very creative.
The fish was split in half, and even with just over two pounds of fish, there wasn't much. Plus, with the side dishes, it was only a small pot, and the three of them finished in no time.
Lu Yuhong hadn't eaten enough. Looking at the bottom of the pot where he had even drunk all the soup, he was still unsatisfied.
Then he urged Chu Lan and Xie Jue to go back and continue fishing, "Don't rest after you finish the meal, let’s hurry and catch more."
Xie Jue said helplessly, "Brother Lu, you should at least let Miss Wei, who is in charge of grilling the fish, take a break."
"Then I have to catch a few more fish and keep them, in case Miss Wei wants to grill more. We couldn’t miss out on the opportunity of tasting her grilled fish, right?"
As he said that, Lu Yuhong pulled Xie Jue and Chu Lan to the bow of the boat.
Xie Jue glanced at Chu Lan and saw that his expression had not changed, so he felt relieved when he followed him to the bow of the boat.
Among the many peers he knew, it seemed that only Lu Yuhong dared to pull the Seventh Prince like this, and the Seventh Prince was particularly tolerant towards Lu Yuhong.
Lu Yuhong's identity was part of this, and the fact that the two had grown up together was also part of it.
When the three of them returned to the bow of the boat to continue fishing, Wei Ruo, Xie Ying, and Xiumei also finished half of their fish.
Xie Ying asked Wei Ruo, "Ruoruo, what is this black bean of yours? It was salty and delicious."
"This is fermented black beans, made from fermented soybeans, which can enhance the flavor." Wei Ruo explained.
"It's amazing. Last time you mentioned that soy sauce is also made from soybeans, how could a soybean be used to make so many different things?" Xie Ying sighed.
"Soybeans were so useful. I'll make you some soybean milk and tofu pudding when I get the chance. It's delicious," Wei Ruo said.
"Okay, okay!" Xie Ying had eaten soybean milk and tofu pudding before, but she was particularly looking forward to the one made by Wei Ruo.
Then Xie Ying sighed, "Ruoruo, if I were a man, I would go to your house to propose marriage and marry you!"
"If you were a man, I would ignore you." Wei Ruo said.
