The two of them sat down near the window in the side room.

The owner of the pleasure boat smiled and served tea. He said to Wei Ting, "The sea bass are very fat now. You two came at the right time. Two big sea bass just landed this morning."

"Sea bass is their signature dish." Wei Ting put the filtered tea next to Su Xiaoxiao's hand, and then took Su Xiaoxiao's cup in front of himself, "Steamed is best, stewed soup is also good."

The owner of the houseboat looked at Wei Ting's actions, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao held her chin with both hands and watched Wei Ting make tea: "Then let's have a steamed one."

He is good-looking and has beautiful hands.

It's a delight to the eyes.

The owner of the houseboat glanced at the young couple with a smile that could not be hidden in his eyes.

"What are you laughing at?" Wei Ting asked.

The owner of the painting boat couldn't help but laugh and said, "This is the first time I see Master Wei so happy."

Su Xiaoxiao said strangely, "Did he? How can you tell that he is happy? He has a stern face all day long, as if someone owes him money."

Wei Ting: “Huh.”

The owner of the houseboat stopped disturbing the two and went to prepare the meal with a smile.

Su Xiaoxiao had nothing to do, so she took a walk on the houseboat and met the proprietress who was wiping the railings.

The proprietress is a talkative woman and talks more than the owner of the houseboat.

From her, Su Xiaoxiao learned that Wei Ting was a frequent visitor to this pleasure boat. As long as Wei Ting was in the capital, he would come here once or twice a month.

Gradually, everyone knew that this pleasure boat was under the protection of the youngest son of the Wei family, and no one dared to make trouble anymore.

Su Xiaoxiao exclaimed: "What does it mean that no one dares to make trouble anymore? Has anyone made trouble before?"

"Yes." The proprietress smiled and said, "It happened a few years ago. My husband and I are not from the imperial city. We spent all our savings over the years to buy this pleasure boat from someone else."

They came with beautiful visions, but unfortunately doing business is never as simple as it seems.

Without power or influence, it is almost impossible to compete for business with a bunch of people with connections.

Especially the dishes they cook taste really good and they have many returning customers, which makes people even more jealous.

Su Xiaoxiao thought about the days when she had fought with Jin Ji in the town, and it was not difficult for her to imagine their situation.

"Once, a few guests came to the pleasure boat and ordered a large table of delicious food. We were so happy and thought it was a big business. But halfway through the meal, one of the guests fell down. They insisted that the food we cooked was not clean and that someone died from the food. They picked up weapons and wanted to smash our pleasure boat to pieces."

"What happened next?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

The proprietress looked in the direction of the wing room. Wei Ting seemed to be drinking tea casually, but the proprietress had noticed that his eyes never left the chubby girl.

The proprietress smiled and said, "Master Wei was also on the boat at the time, but he was not with those people. He was in the next room with a friend, and he came out to help us out."

She said it lightly, but the situation at that time was not so easy.

There is also a considerable force behind that group of people.

Wei Ting was not afraid of them, but there was really no need to offend them for two ordinary people he had never met.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows: "He has a strong sense of justice!"

Okay, give him face outside.

In the side room, Wei Ting was drinking tea, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

Su Xiaoxiao also learned from the proprietress that she was the first girl he brought with him, and that the proprietress had never seen any other girl around him.

Su Xiaoxin said carefully: Yes, there is no other woman, and I already have three sons.

The sea bass is steamed.

Su Xiaoxiao returned to the room.

The boat owner picked a larger sea bass, removed the scales, gills and internal organs very cleanly, and used rice wine and ginger slices to remove the fishy smell. The soup was not strong in taste, retaining the freshness of the fish to the greatest extent.

Su Xiaoxiao took a bite and was somewhat surprised.

Wei Ting picked up the tenderest fish belly and put it into her bowl.

Su Xiaoxiao did not refuse the food fed to her and started eating.

The fish is really fresh.

You wouldn’t have thought this guy is quite good at eating.

Not long after, the boss brought out another bowl of hot sour soup fish balls.

You can taste tiny pieces of ginger in the fish balls, which taste spicy. This milky white fish ball is mixed with a small amount of fat and starch. The gravy is extremely tender. The only drawback is that it is a little greasy.

However, when paired with spicy ginger and a little white vinegar in the soup, the greasy taste instantly disappeared.

She can cook a whole pot of this kind of fish balls! The owner of the houseboat had seen many young ladies who were too polite and refused to eat more. This was the first time he met a real eater. He was so excited that he not only steamed the fish cakes and sliced ​​the fish, but also put the grill on and made a plate of grilled fish.

"Are there any vegetables?" Wei Ting asked.

“Yes, yes, yes!” The owner of the houseboat fried two side dishes, cut some fruits and vegetables, and finally, served the fruit wine made with his own secret recipe.

This kind of fruit wine is very difficult to make, and he only produces two small jars every year, which he does not sell.

Not selling today either.

"It's for you two." He said with a smile.

Wei Ting asked, "Why didn't you send me off before?"

The owner of the painting boat said awkwardly: "Uh... isn't it Madam Wei who is here..."

It was the first time that Su Xiaoxiao was called Madam Wei, and she was stunned for a moment.

"Hmm." Wei Ting muttered vaguely, and finally didn't care about the fact that the owner of the houseboat was willing to offer him wine today.

The fruit wine has a sweet taste and is very refreshing.

When Su Xiaoxiao took the third sip, Wei Ting took the wine glass.

Su Xiaoxiao was dissatisfied: "What for?"

Wei Ting said calmly: "You can't drink anymore."

Su Xiaoxiao asked in confusion: "Why?"

Wei Ting hesitated for a moment before saying, "You drank too much last time."

Su Xiaoxiao snorted, "So what if I'm drunk? Did I do anything to you?"

Wei Ting didn't say anything.

Su Xiaoxiao blinked: "No way...did he really do anything to you?"

She had no recollection of it at all! She had only drunk alcohol once since she traveled through time, and it was when she was tricked by Su Yu Niang...

Wei Ting's eyes flickered.

Well, Su Xiaoxiao had the answer in her mind.

Su Xiaoxiao leaned back in disappointment: "What a loss... I'm such a loser..."

Wei Ting looked puzzled: "What are you losing?"

He was the one who was taken advantage of, so shouldn't he be the one who suffered the loss?

Su Xiaoxiao complained: "Even if you eat meat, you have to taste the saltiness. I clearly did everything to you, but I don't remember it. Do you think this is a loss?"

Wei Ting paused and silently returned her wine glass.

Su Xiaoxiao: “…”

The fruit wine made by the owner of the houseboat is not really a strong liquor, it is similar to old rice wine. After Su Xiaoxiao drank three cups, she was still as sober as before.

The owner of the houseboat came over and asked them how the meal was, and Su Xiaoxiao was very satisfied.

Wei Ting said calmly: "The fruit is not good for brewing."

The owner of the painting boat was confused. What's wrong? Wasn't your wife drinking very enthusiastically? (End of this chapter)
