Chapter 35 Is this fish soup bitter?



Liu Dazhuang was thoughtful, so he didn't make things difficult for them along the way.

After all, it would be bad if there was something wrong with the goods.

It was noon when the group stopped.

Found a place to rest near water.

Nowadays, there is nothing but corn cakes for three meals a day.

Just drinking porridge all the time is not a solution.

Although Qingzhu is good at cooking, it's a pity that a good cook cannot cook without rice.

Lu Anan thought about it and decided that since there was water, he might as well catch some fish.

I have caught fish before when I went to a farm in the countryside, but the fish I raised myself did not experience as much natural selection.

So it looks lazy and is easy to catch.

But the fish in this wild river are not so easy to catch.

Lu Anan borrowed the officer's dagger and sharpened one end of the branch.

She stared at the fish in the water and poked it, but couldn't even feel its shadow.

Lu Qingqing, who was standing by, saw her catching fish and hurried over to Li Zhengming.

"Li Lang, shall we catch some fish too?"

Li Zhengming was quick-witted. He nodded and thought that it would be nice to have some fish soup.

He imitated Lu Anan and used a branch to catch fish.

Lu Qingqing stood aside and gave a few compliments from time to time.

Li Zhengming was quite skilled. After just a few tries, he actually caught a fish.

Lu Qingqing was so happy now. She took Li Zhengming's things and looked proudly at Lu Anan.

"Sister An An, how about... you ask Li Lang to help you catch one too."

Li Zhengming was also very proud, and pretended to be doing it for your own good when he heard that.

"Since An An is your sister, it's not too much to help you catch one."

Lu Anan sneered, and Chu Jinshen walked over.

He didn't know where he got the long sword from, but he stood by the water and swung it twice. The next second, several fish were slapped to the shore.

Lu Anan was shocked for a moment. So this is martial arts?

Chu Jinshen stretched out his hand: "An An, come up."

Lu Anan held his hand and was pulled back to the shore effortlessly.

Yuehuan and Qingzhu stood aside and tried to stop her, but Lu Anan insisted on going down.

But now that they had caught the fish, the two looked at each other, then looked at Lu Anan who was standing with Chu Jinshen, and they couldn't suppress the smile on their lips.

They ran to the nanny with the fish and started chatting and laughing.

Li Zhengming stood there with a bad look on his face.

Lu Qingqing was so angry that she looked at the fish in her hand.

They were much smaller than the ones Chu Jinshen caught.

But it's better than nothing, so she stamped her feet and walked back angrily.

Lu Anan didn't care too much. She just took off her shoes and socks and went downstairs.

Seeing this, Chu Jinshen put his coat on her. The sun was shining brightly, but it was also approaching late autumn.

He found something to wipe the water off Lu Anan's body, and then helped her put on her shoes and socks.

After everything was done, Chu Jinshen felt a little helpless.

"An An wanted to play in the water, so he came up with the excuse of catching fish."

Lu Anan's face flushed. Nothing happened along the way, and she just acted on a whim.

The maids cleaned up quickly and simply cooked some fish soup so that everyone could share some.

In this weather, drinking something hot can warm your body.

But things were not going so smoothly for Mrs. Lu.

After all, they had never handled fish by hand, so the fish's few jumps on the ground would cause a burst of exclamations.

Lu Qingqing stood aside, and Mrs. Lu wanted her to help.

As a result, Lu Qingqing just hid aside in disgust.

"Mom, the fish were all caught by Li Lang. You can just cook it. It won't be a big deal."

As she said this, Li Zhengming came close to Prime Minister Lu.

The two people looked at each other.

"Dad, Li Lang said that if we can return the treasure to the new emperor, we can make amends."

Prime Minister Lu looked up at her and said, "Although I have met Your Majesty, I do not have any treasures."

Li Zhengming frowned and said, "Lord Lu, do you also think that what His Majesty said is wrong?"

Lu Qingqing even agreed: "That's right, Dad. Li Lang is really sincere to his daughter, how could he hurt us!"

Prime Minister Lu's eyes flashed: "You won't harm us?"

"Then why did you appear in the palace with him that day?"

Ultimately, it was Lu Qingqing's own fault that brought harm to the entire Lu family.

It would be fine if she didn't repent now, but she still wished that they could reconcile with Li Zhengming.

Prime Minister Lu didn't show it on his face, but he was very angry inside.

This daughter really can't be kept anymore.

Lu Qingqing became even angrier when she saw that she didn't get any news from Prime Minister Lu.

She blurted out, "Dad just resents me for taking Li Lang away from him."

"But Li Lang and I love each other, what have we done wrong?"

She said this with such righteousness that Lu Anan felt ashamed when she heard it.

What kind of ability does Mrs. Lu have to be able to raise Lu Qingqing to be like this?

Mrs. Lu, who was standing by, finally managed to cook the fish after all this trouble.

But the scales on it were not scraped clean.

She quickly put the fish into the boiling pot, covered it with the lid, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Lang was impatient.

"Mom! I want to eat fish!"

On Lu Anan's side, there is a nanny in charge, and Yuehuan and Qingzhu are good at cooking.

They also picked some wild vegetables from the side to go with it, and the aroma gradually spread.

Lu Lang smelled the fragrance and started crying even more.

"mother!"

He pulled Mrs. Lu's arm and insisted on walking towards Lu Anan.

Mrs. Lu couldn't coax him, but fortunately the fish on her side was also cooked.

He quickly scooped a spoonful of soup, blew on it, and handed it to Lu Lang.

"We also have fish soup, Lang'er, try it."

Lu Lang took a sip and quickly spat it out.

"Bitter! Hard to drink!"

Mrs. Lu was also a little confused, so she took a sip from the spoon.

The fish was not handled properly, its gallbladder was broken, and the whole pot of soup tasted extremely bitter.

Mrs. Lu was a little embarrassed. How could such a good pot of fish soup become like this?

Lu Qingqing looked at the situation, then looked at Lu Anan and others who were sharing the fragrant fish soup, and almost cried with anger.

Why is Lu Anan so lucky!

If Lu Anan heard this, she would just respond indifferently.

There’s nothing I can do, I’m just lucky.

When the officers saw that they had caught fish, they also went down to the river to catch a lot.

Liu Dazhuang looked at the fish soup in the bowl, but his gaze shifted to Lu Qingqing and others.

He had a lot of evil ideas. He calculated the time and thought that he could reach Ping'an Town before the sun set.

Ping'an Town is not very famous, but it is the town closest to the capital.

Therefore, many inns and restaurants were opened in the town to serve traveling merchants and peddlers, who relied on them to make a living.

After Liu Dazhuang went to see Li Datou yesterday, he knew that new goods were about to arrive.

So notify them first.

Now most people have arrived in Ping'an Town.
