Quan Yuxun smiled. "I appreciate your advice. If it weren't too much trouble, I would have eaten at Aunt Xia's for the entire week. This fish cake is truly the best delicacy I've ever tasted."

Xia Yuanfang listened carefully and said with a smile, "Chief Quan, if you don't mind my small house and narrow streets, you are welcome to visit me anytime."

Quan Yuxun took a sip of red wine and said, "Aunt Xia, I will take it seriously."

"I'm not being polite..." Xia Yuanfang smiled. "Colonel Zong helped us a lot when we first met. You are Colonel Zong's friend. It's our honor to host you."

Xia Yuanfang then took the initiative to introduce, "I didn't expect this fish cake to be so delicious. To be honest, I made this dish many times before Chu Jian was born, and although it was delicious, it was never as good as this. After thinking about it, I think it can only be due to the ingredients. Because this time, I only used croaker meat."

Zong Ruoan was lost in thought: "...Snakehead fish? Sounds familiar. Apparently, they're hard to catch, right?"

Quan Yuxun said, "Are these the two words?"

He pulled out a virtual display screen and wrote the word "蠃鱼" in front of everyone.

Xia Yuanfang glanced at Xia Chujian, because the fish was provided by Xia Chujian, and only she knew the two words.

Xia Chujian lowered his eyes slightly.

Xia Yuanfang understood and said with a smile, "Exactly. Has Chief Quan also eaten this kind of fish?"

Quan Yuxun and Zong Ruoan looked at each other and shook their heads.

Zong Ruoan was reminded when he saw these two words. He said, "I remember now. This is a specialty of the Weak Water Lake in the far north of the Strange Beast Forest. Although the 蠃鱼 has a fish body, it has wings and can fly out of the water. It is very difficult to catch."

Quan Yuxun said with emotion, "Occasionally we catch a few mullet, but they are all kept like treasures by the scientists at the Imperial Capital Academy in special ecological fish tanks. People who are not qualified enough are not even allowed to see them."

Not to mention eating it...

If those scientists knew about this, they would probably curse them for "wasting resources".

He and Zong Ruoan looked at Xia Chujian together.

Obviously, they all knew that Xia Chujian had gone to the Monster Forest to carry out a mission.

Zong Ruoan even knew that the wild rhino pork and unicorn beef were brought back from their mission in the Monster Forest.

Then it is not impossible to bring a few more fish.

Xia Chujian: “…”

She cursed Feng Qianzhan in her heart.

Because these mantis shrimp meats were not caught by their team. They didn't even know where to catch mantis shrimps, and of course they didn't know where Feng Qianzhan got them from.

But at this moment, she could only force herself to remain calm, recalling her trip to the Forest of Exotic Beasts. Suddenly, she said, "That Weak Water Lake, is it true that it never freezes no matter how low the temperature gets?"

Quan Yuxun nodded slightly: "Yes, this is one of its major features."

Xia Chujian clapped his hands and said, "That's right. We camped next to a lake. The water was emerald green. Even though the temperature was over 100 degrees below zero, there was only a little bit of ice on the surface. The water still shimmered and didn't freeze."

"That should be the Weak Water Lake. If we have a chance, we should go and see it." Zong Ruoan and Quan Yuxun looked at each other.

Xia Chujian smiled brightly, but was actually cursing in his heart.

I'm just eating a dish. Why do you have to ask so many questions? Is it like being tortured?

Isn’t it okay to just eat what you have?

Do we need to write down the family genealogy of three generations of ancestors and the coordinates of each dish for reference?

I just... don't understand the train of thought of these nobles.

Xia Yuanfang calmly changed the subject: "...It's a pity that we don't have fresh mutton this time. If we could use the meat of the kid goat that is unique to Luoxu State instead of the unicorn beef, I think the taste would be even better."

Quan Yuxun said on the spot: "I have a relative who is cooperating with someone to run a ranch in Luoxu Prefecture. When I return, I will have someone send the freshest kid meat to Aunt Xia."

Zong Ruoan said, "Yu Xun, have you ordered tomorrow's meal now?"

"As long as Aunt Xia doesn't mind, I plan to shamelessly come to your house for a free meal." Quan Yuxun's smile was still warm and gentle.

A few people chatted and laughed.

Xia Chujian brought out the last dish of glutinous rice balls made with sweet osmanthus wine.

"Who wants to eat sweet-scented osmanthus wine glutinous rice balls?"

Zong Ruoan really couldn't eat anymore. He leaned back in his chair, waved his hand and said, "I really can't eat anymore. I'm going to run for an hour in the gym when I get back."

Quan Yuxun couldn't eat anymore, but when he saw the crystal clear osmanthus wine and the white and glutinous rice balls, in addition to the golden osmanthus flowers, there were some red things floating in them, which made the artistic conception even more beautiful.

He actually has a special liking for sweet and sticky food, but no one knows it.

Quan Yuxun couldn't help but say, "Let me try it."

Xia Chujian happily scooped a bowl with him.

However, when she was about to give Wu Fu, she was stopped by Xia Yuanfang.

"There's alcohol in the fermented rice. How big is Wufu? He can't eat this kind of thing."

Xia Chujian tutted twice: "The alcohol in the fermented rice can be ignored, but aunt is the most important, you have the final say."

So she bought all the remaining glutinous rice balls made with sweet-scented osmanthus wine.

After she drank all the glutinous rice wine and ate all the glutinous rice balls, Xia Chujian felt dizzy again.

She lay on the dining table, her eyelids almost unable to open.

Xia Yuanfang apologized and said, "Chu Jian is dizzy again. I'll take her to rest."

Not only Xia Chujian, but Quan Yuxun also gradually felt his eyelids heavy and sleepiness coming on.

He felt embarrassed to fall asleep here, so he stood up and said, "Aunt Xia's meal today was so delicious. I ate too much and am feeling sleepy. I'll come and bother you tomorrow."
