Chapter 266: The Ruthless Fish Killer
"You'll know if you try it," Yu Banxia replied with a smile.
Then he looked at Liuli and said, "Go call Third Brother and Uncle and ask them if they want to come fishing!"
Liuli nodded, and Xingyu pretended to go to the carriage to get fishing gear.
When Yu Mancang and the others came out, Xingyu also came over with fishing gear and bait.
"Third brother, little uncle, do you want to go fishing with Aqing? I'll make you a fish feast for lunch."
Yu Banxia pointed at the fishing gear and asked the two people.
"Okay, but the boat is moving, so it might not be easy to fish." Yu Mancang said with a smile as he looked at the speed of the boat.
"Who cares about the result? Just enjoy the process." Yu Hongyu laughed.
Yu Banxia shook her head and said with a smile, "You will know if you try it. I will go and accompany my uncle and aunt."
The three men tried fishing. As soon as Yu Banxia entered Xie Wanyun's cabin, a surprised voice came from outside.
"Master San, this fish of yours is too big, isn't it?"
Xie Wanyun was embroidering with an embroidery frame in her hands. When she saw Yu Banxia come in and look up at her, she subconsciously stood up and saluted.
"Uncle and aunt, you have to get familiar with each other quickly." Yu Banxia joked.
Xie Wanyun smiled embarrassedly: "No matter what, the peaceful life now is all thanks to you, Xia Xia, even though I have married your uncle."
"Xia Xia's kindness will always be remembered by my uncle and aunt."
After hearing her say this, Yu Banxia had no choice but to let her go. After all, she couldn't control other people's thoughts.
Yu Banxia picked up her embroidery frame, looked at it, and then asked her for some silk cloth.
I want to embroider a purse for Uncle Yan Ping.
Ayali also wanted to learn, but she was a beginner, so Miaoyue and Yao Qianyu taught her.
Liuli and the other three stood by without saying a word.
"Sit down. It's not tiring to stand." Yu Banxia looked up and saw the four of them standing there.
Liuli smiled at her, then said to the sisters, "Since the master has spoken, please sit down."
The other three people were not polite either. After sitting down, they did not waste any time and meditated and practiced.
It was almost noon when Yu Hongyu rushed in.
"Xia Xia, those baits you use are amazing. You can catch fish almost immediately after you go down. We caught a lot of them."
Yu Banxia put down what he was holding, stood up and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go make something delicious for everyone."
"If you don't mind the boredom, you can catch more. I'll make smoked fish slices later. That'll be delicious, too."
"Okay, let's continue fishing in the afternoon." Yu Hongyu still recognized Yu Banxia's cooking skills.
Seeing that Ayali was still struggling with the silk thread, she smiled and shook her head, asked the three to stay and continue embroidering, and called them when the meal was ready.
Seeing that Liuli and the other three were practicing, she called Xingyu and asked Liuli and the other two to continue, while she took Xingyu to the kitchen to work.
Liuli asked Shuanghua and Feiying to stay while she went to help.
Xie Wanyu also went to help.
Seeing that there were enough people, Shuanghua and the other two did not bother to be polite with their master and continued to sit there and practice.
Yu Banxia was quick and in no time, she had prepared boiled fish, pickled fish and two grilled fish.
Xingyu also fried a lot of fish fillets.
Her knife skills and cooking skills are both top-notch. She can separate all the fish bones without damaging the fish itself.
Yu Banxia taught her how to make sweet smoked fish. After tasting it, Xingyu's eyes lit up.
"Master, let me try to do the rest." Xingyu said to Yu Banxia after finishing the smoked fish in her mouth.
Of course Yu Banxia would not refuse.
"Give this one to the boatmen and let them have a taste too." Yu Banxia instructed Liuying.
Liuying responded quickly and carried the dishes to the boatman with Nanny Zhou.
The boatman was so frightened that he kept saying no, how could they eat the delicious food made by the princess herself.
"Boatman, I will have to trouble you to sail the boat in the next few days. Since the princess asked you to eat, you cannot refuse."
After hearing what Madam Zhou said, the boatman thought it was indeed true and stopped refusing.
He accepted the dishes and went to express his gratitude in person.
"You don't have to be polite, boatman. If you keep being so polite, we will feel uncomfortable." Yu Banxia said to the boatman.
The boatman suddenly realized what was going on and quickly responded and retreated.
"Call Aqing and the others to eat." Yu Banxia instructed Liuli.
Liuli agreed and went out to call people. After a while, they came back.
The kitchen is divided into an inner room and an outer room. There are four tables and chairs in the outer room, so the space is quite large.
After a happy lunch, the men went fishing again.
Yu Banxia took Ayali and the other two to Xie Wanyun's room to embroider purses.
Xingyu was busy in the kitchen happily, with Liuying and Nanny Zhou helping her.
The Erniu brothers spent the whole afternoon fishing. When they were having dinner, they couldn't help but complain, "Major General, don't go fishing tomorrow."
"My body smells like fish. I'm almost turning into a fish."
Yu Banxia chuckled and snapped his fingers, and the fishy smell on his body was no longer there.
"Thank you, master." Because Yu Banxia's identity changed, he also changed his way of addressing him as master.
"You've worked hard today. Go back and rest early after dinner." Yu Banxia gestured for them to continue eating.
Everyone stopped talking, ate, and went back to their rooms.
The boatman quickly brought hot water for them to bathe.
Yu Banxia did not refuse the boatman's kindness, but she was a little obsessed with mysophobia and didn't want to use the bathtub provided by the boatman.
She took Liuli and others into the space to wash up, because she did not tell her uncle and others about the space.
I took out disposable bath bags and gave them them.
Liuli went to help lay the floor and poured hot water before coming back.
I took a bath in the hot spring, but didn't stay there.
Take them back to the boat again.
Uncle Yan Ping asked her to rest early and left her cabin.
After a good night's sleep, the boat sailed all night and arrived at Anping County Pier at dawn.
After asking for instructions, the boatman stopped at the dock for an hour and went down to buy some fresh vegetables, enough for three days.
It takes two and a half days to sail from Anping County to Fucheng.
While the crew was going down to buy supplies, someone came on board to ask the boatman.
"Boatman, this boat is heading to the capital city. We are a group of three. Can you take us a ride?"
The woman who asked the question was in her early forties, and she was very cautious.
The boatman quickly replied: "Sorry, we are chartering the boat and do not accept individual passengers."
Yu Banxia just came out, glanced at the three people, and said to the boatman: "Give them a ride, but they need to abide by our rules."
"Thank you, young lady. Thank you, young lady." The woman thanked quickly.
"How much money does the boatman have?" the woman asked.
The boatman looked at Yu Banxia, and Yu Banxia gave him a look.
The boatman then spoke: "From the county town to the prefecture, the general boat charges fifty coins per person. I have a large boat and it is a chartered boat, so I will charge you one hundred coins per person."
"Okay, okay." The woman took out three hundred coins and handed them to the boatman.
The boatman immediately turned to Yu Banxia: "Miss Yu."
He didn't dare to call her princess in front of outsiders. If the princess agreed, she would not give him a hint with her eyes.
"No need, the boatman can keep it himself!" Yu Banxia said, then turned and walked towards Xie Wanyun's cabin.
