Chu Lan watched with great interest as the two of them pulled the fishing rod. Wei Ruo’s words just now and her calm reaction to the situation made him somewhat impressed.

After struggling for an incense stick of time, the fish in the water became weaker. Wei Ruo said to Xie Ying, “Let’s pull up hard now.”

Xie Ying nodded, ” Okay!”

The two of them pulled the fishing rod together and finally pulled the fish out of the water.

At the moment the fish came out of the water, Xie Ying exclaimed in surprise.

“Ruoruo, look at what kind of fish this is, it’s so big!” Xie Ying’s voice was extremely excited.

“This is the bighead carp, also called the silver carp and fathead carp. It has a big head and fresh meat.” Wei Ruo said after identifying it.

Bighead carp was a type of fish that could easily grow very large. The fish caught by Xie Ying was estimated to weigh seven or eight pounds, but it was not the limit of this type of fish. There must be even larger fish in this East Lake.

“Ruoruo, let’s grill my fish, it will be delicious!” Xie Ying said happily.

“This fish is too big, and the whole piece may not be easy to cook. I will cut off the fish head later and make fish head soup. The fish belly will be used for grilling, and the fish tail will be fried later.” Wei Ruo said.

“Okay, okay, I’ll listen to you. You can do whatever you say.” Xie Ying nodded repeatedly. Let Ruoruo do the cooking, and she continued fishing!

On the opposite boat, Lu Yuhong looked at Xie Ying’s bighead carp and then at the small crucian carp he caught. He suddenly felt depressed.

No, no, no, how could he lose to a girl?

Lu Yuhong asked his subordinate for an extra fishing rod, he planned to catch more!

After Wei Ruo helped Xie Ying catch fish, she started grilling fish.

The charcoal fire burned just right, the first black fish that was caught had already well-marinated.

Wei Ruo brushed a layer of vegetable oil on the fish, then placed it on the fire to grill it.

While grilling the fish, Wei Ruo used another stove and the pot she bought to stir fry the spices. She added her own soy sauce, salt, five spice powder (sand kernels, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, and star anise ground into powder and mixed in proportion), cooking wine, scallions, and ginger.

After stir frying it for a while, the aroma wafted out and filled the entire lake.

As a foodie, Lu Yuhong’s eyes lit up when he smelled the smell. He stood up and looked towards Wei Ruo.

After frying the sauce until fragrant, Wei Ruo set it aside and waited for the next fish to be grilled.

After the black fish was grilled golden on both sides, Wei Ruo moved the grilled fish to the pot. The bottom of the pot had already been covered with chopped side dishes.

The fish was placed on top of the side dishes, then she added boiled water, and began to cook.

Wei Ruo took out another jar from her backpack, brought out black beans, and laid them on top of the fish.

When the water boiled, a tantalizing smell wafted out. The aroma of the seasonings came out, and the flavor permeated into the fish.

This smell made Lu Yuhong, who had just vowed to catch a big fish to restore his dignity, suddenly lose his fishing mood. He glanced in the direction of Wei Ruo from time to time, afraid of missing something.

Xie Ying was also craving for it, she wanted to taste the grilled fish made by Wei Ruo.

When the cooking was almost done, Wei Ruo asked someone to bring a soup bowl. She divided half of the fish and side dishes into a large bowl, and then ordered the Xie family’s servants to send the remaining fish along with the pot to Chu Lan’s boat.

The subordinates took the iron pot from Wei Ruo’s hands and rowed a small boat towards Chu Lan’s boat.
