Chapter 192 Full Fish Feast
Chapter 192 Full Fish Feast
Hidden in the deep mountains surrounded by hills is a deep pool of water.
It is like a piece of jade carved by time, lying quietly surrounded by mountains, mysterious and brilliant.
Beside the pool, a waterfall cascades down like an upside-down Milky Way, with water splashing everywhere and the sound of gurgling water never stopping.
The water hits the rocks, splashing white water and forming a thin layer of mist that fills the air and brings bursts of coolness.
Although she had seen many famous places of interest in her previous life, the scene before her still shocked Li Jiaojiao.
It was different from the previous time when I came here consciously. But when I actually stood here, I realized how grand this place is and how insignificant I am.
"Ah Li, do you like it here?" Li Jiaojiao raised her hand and touched the big Ah Li beside her, looking for a sense of security...
Meow~ I like it...
"You are not allowed to eat my fish before they reproduce, okay?" Li Jiaojiao continued to touch them.
Ahri turned stiffly to look at her master: ...Meow?
"I have kept all the fish I bought in the deep pond, but I guess there should be some living creatures in the deep pond. I will call them out later to take a look. If there are many, you can eat them first. There are also koi in the pond in the front yard. You can eat those too. There are more of them."
After Li Jiaojiao finished speaking, she pulled Ali to the edge of the deep pool.
I reached my hand into the water, and a chill ran through my fingertips into my body.
"It's so cold, my fish won't die, right?" Li Jiaojiao quickly released her supernatural power.
There are no outsiders in this space.
She could do whatever she wanted, and her supernatural powers gathered at her fingertips, flashing with bright green light, and then spreading to the entire deep pool.
After a while, the water in the lake responded, and many creatures swam towards the green light.
It's like a fish running towards food, active and happy.
The water surface was surging, and fish of all sizes were vying to move around.
"They're not dead. That's great. They seem to be alive and well. They like it here." Li Jiaojiao can sense the emotions of the fishes through the feedback given by her supernatural powers.
And, there really are Aboriginal people.
However, she only knew two types because they were easy to identify by their appearance.
One is the red-scaled fish, which has a colorful body, with a gradient of gold on the pectoral fins and a touch of red on the dorsal and caudal fins.
Generally, it lives in mountain streams with good water quality. It tastes delicious and has no fishy smell. Legend has it that it is the incarnation of the dragon's ninth son, Chiwen.
The other type is the green bamboo carp, which has a white belly and green back, red eye patches, and red dorsal and caudal fins, with a beautiful appearance.
Green bamboo carp is an extremely rare fish. It likes to live in deep pools and feeds on algae and higher plants.
Green bamboo carp has extremely high requirements for water quality and usually only exists in clear deep pool environments.
The meat of this fish is tender and delicate, and it was one of the attractive targets for anglers in previous lives.
There were also some fish that Li Jiaojiao didn’t recognize, but judging from the water quality of the pond, the fish here should taste good.
I picked up two and threw them on the shore. "Ali, try them and tell me which one is the best."
Ahri, who was happily holding a fish in his mouth, heard the second half of his master's sentence: ...
There is love, but not much.
You are testing the food with a raccoon? ...
After watching the fish in the pond, Li Jiaojiao waited for Ali to finish eating the fish, and then the man and the cat walked along the river...
During this time, the man and the cat were talking, "Ah Li, which of the fish just now tasted better?"
Meow~ almost.
"What about the meat? Which one is firm and tender?"
Ali thought for a while and said, Miaomiao~the first one.
"The red-scaled fish? The colorful one?"
Meow~yes.
"Well, let's try it tonight. Do you like it steamed or grilled? How about boiled fish fillet?"
Meow meow meow~ Ahri has read the random reply.
I have only tried it raw and roasted, and have never tried anything else, so how do I know what flavor I like?
"Oh, don't worry. I don't know how to cook, but I know the theory. I'll ask the chef to make one for each and let you taste them. Then you'll know which one you like."
Meow~ Okay.
Ali wagged his tail unconsciously, but suddenly stopped after a while, as he was infected by the stupid wolf. Fortunately, no one saw this.
Beside them, there were wolves all over the mountain: ...
The river meanders like a silver ribbon, winding among the mountains.
The river water is crystal clear and sparkling, reflecting the surrounding mountains and trees.
After Li Jiaojiao looked at a few places for shellfish, she signaled Ali to speed up. Finally, after looking at the places for lobsters and crabs, she was going to go out for a bath...
Because the number of lobsters and crabs she bought was not large, she originally wanted to raise them all.
Then he remembered that everyone had probably noticed these two creatures that the locals kept their distance from, so he left some of them outside.
Let the kitchen prepare it in the evening, and then you can include it in the recipe of Wangque Tower. Beer and crayfish, hahahahahahaha…
Well, considering that Lu Liang gave her the Wangque Tower in Yuncheng, she let him make the beer.
As for the crab, half was steamed and half was spicy.
Time in space passes slowly, and it seems like a long time has passed...
However, when Li Jiaojiao came back outside, the bath water was still warm. She soaked in it casually and then got dressed and went out.
After going out, I found that the pond in the backyard was surrounded by people, including Minister Lin, Censor Li, Xie Xiao, and a group of strangers.
"County Princess, how do we eat the fish tonight?" Minister Lin was the first to notice Li Jiaojiao and looked at her with hope.
Although the county lady has never cooked herself, many delicious dishes in Yuncheng were prepared with the advice of the county lady. Now that I think about it, I really miss the night market in Yuncheng.
Li Jiaojiao chuckled, "Please wait, I'll go to the kitchen and take a look. We'll have a fish feast tonight."
"Okay, okay, thank you, County Lady. I'm in for a treat again. Hahahaha..." Minister Lin laughed heartily, without any of the serious expression he showed in front of the officials from Los Angeles.
He had no doubt about the fish banquet Li Jiaojiao mentioned. He had never eaten anything bad at the county lord's place.
And even if we take a step back, judging from the cooking skills of Wangquelou's kitchen, it cannot be bad.
Not only Minister Lin, but also Censor Li standing beside him, although he did not say a word, but facing the county lord's smiling face, where was the trace of the Li Jiu clan at all?
The attitude of the two towards Li Jiaojiao made the officials of Los Angeles stare at Li Jiaojiao's departing back in a trance.
"That is the Princess Fuyao who was personally appointed by the emperor, and the savior of Yuncheng." Xie Xiao was still wearing a moon robe, but the difference was that there was a folding fan in his hand. He looked at the direction where Li Jiaojiao left and explained on behalf of the officials of Luocheng.
The official from Luo City took a deep breath and his eyes widened. "The Lady Fuyao who saved Yun City is so young? A miracle doctor... a young miracle doctor..."
"Yes, isn't that what Lord Lin is addressing the county lady? I was confused and didn't even greet her politely."
……
"By the way, do you gentlemen want to stay in Wangque Tower for dinner tonight? Then you should inform the county lady in advance." Xie Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at the officials with a smile.
The official wiped his sweat. He had originally wanted to stay, but now that he saw the county lady herself enter the kitchen, could he still stay?
Everyone's eyes turned to the county governor inquiringly. Sir, please say something...
Luocheng County Magistrate: ...
"Do not……"
"The county lady invites you all to stay for a simple meal tonight." Before the Luocheng County Magistrate could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qingdai who appeared.
"This...thank you very much, County Princess." The county magistrate could only change his words into thanks and smile.
Before, when they came to Wangque Tower to eat, they just had to pay the money. Now that the county lady is cooking, they didn’t bring any gifts. What should they do...
Everyone was so anxious that sweat broke out on their foreheads.
At the critical moment, it was Prince Xie who came to the rescue, "In this case, you all can go about your business and wait until dinner time."
"Yes, yes, thank you for your understanding, Your Highness. We do have official business to attend to, and we will certainly arrive on time later. Take your leave first, Lord Lin, Lord Li, I'll take my leave first." Everyone followed the magistrate in paying their respects, and then hurried home to prepare gifts.
