Chapter 210: Meet Chu Lan again (2)

Xie Ying came out of the cabin first. Knowing that the other party was the seventh prince, Xie Ying did not dare to act recklessly and said respectfully, "Hello, Young Master Chu and Young Master Lu."

Seeing this, Wei Ruo had to follow her out of the cabin and greet him.

Wei Ruo lowered her head and didn't look directly at Chu Lan. 

"Miss Wei doesn't seem very willing to see me," Chu Lan keenly sensed something.

"Young Master Chu cares about the people and has done so many good deeds for the people in Xingshan County. I greatly admire and appreciate Young Master Chu, and have no intention of not wanting to see you." Wei Ruo quickly denied.

In the heart: I don't want to see you. You were the one who ordered me to be killed in my previous life. Do you still want me to be grateful to you?

Then, the scene fell silent and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Xie Ying looked at the situation and tried to change the subject to ease the awkwardness. She said to Xie Jue, ‘’Big brother, I want to go fishing. I heard that there are so many delicious fish in this East Lake, I want to catch and try them."

As soon as he heard of something delicious, Lu Yuhong became enthusiastic and said, "Really? Then I also want to give it a try. Maybe I can catch shad!"

 

-shad: a type of fish known for its tender meat and rich flavor. Shad is highly valued in Chinese cuisine, particularly in regions like the Yangtze River basin.

 

"Brother Lu, shad are not found in lakes. They usually live in big rivers. They are probably not found in East Lake." Xie Jue explained.

"What kind of fish are there in this lake?" Lu Yuhong asked.

"Common fish such as silver carp, bighead carp, crucian carp, and grass carp must be there. There should also be black carp and perch. I don't know if there is a chance to catch good-quality mandarin fish. In addition, I think yellow croaker is also good." Xie Jue said.

"Okay, then I'll go for the mandarin fish you mentioned!" Lu Yuhong immediately turned around and ordered his subordinates to prepare a fishing rod and other things needed for fishing.

 

-mandarin fish/Chinese perch is a freshwater fish highly prized in Chinese cuisine. 

 

Wei Ruo listened to Xie Jue's talk about the fish species in the lake and thought that she hadn't eaten grilled fish for a long time, which made her a little hungry.

It just so happened that Wei Ruo had brought a few bottles of seasoning with her before she left today. Her original thought was that if she had the chance, she would look for the people at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant to sell her seasoning and see if there was a chance to sell it for a high price.

"Then everyone can go fishing, I'll be responsible for helping everyone to roast the fish." Wei Ruo said.

“I'll do the fishing then. Ruoruo you wait, I'll catch a fat one for you to roast!” Xie Ying was full of confidence.

"Grilled fish is delicious, I also want to try Miss Wei's grilled fish. I wonder if I will have a taste for it?" Lu Yuhong's craving was already aroused.

A person who could make a delicious mushroom sauce should be able to make a delicious grilled fish, right?

Xie Jue saw the situation and could only look at Chu Lan. This matter still depends on the intentions of the Seventh Prince. If he does not agree, then no one will proceed.

"I also want to give it a try," Chu Lan looked quite interested.

Since the Seventh Prince had expressed his opinion, there was nothing more to say.

Xie Jue immediately ordered his servant to arrange it, and then turned to ask Wei Ruo, "Miss Wei, is there anything that you need? Let me know, and I will have them go and arrange it together."

"Okay." Wei Ruo immediately returned to the cabin and wrote a list.

The stove and charcoal needed for grilling fish were on board and did not need to be purchased additionally. But some side dishes and a pot needed to be purchased.

Not long after, some subordinates sent their fishing gear over first.

Then Xie Jue waited for the two boats to get close and went to Chu Lan and Lu Yuhong's boat.

In this way, the men were on one boat and the women were on another, with a little distance between them. So that even if someone saw them, it would not cause gossip.
