Ye Xiruo threw all the fish bones into the pot to make fish soup, and chopped some scallions, ginger and garlic to simmer slowly.
The water for boiling the fish balls was already boiled. Ye Xiruo held a spoon and started making fish balls. Xiu Qiyu found it interesting and wanted to try it too, but Ye Xiruo stopped him: "Brother Xiu Qi, you just need to scoop out the fish balls. After they're in the pot, wait for them to float to the surface, and then you can scoop them out after a minute."
Xiu Qiyu nodded, indicating that she understood. At this moment, a rich aroma began to waft from the pot. Seeing this, Xiu Qiyu picked up a piece, blew on it, and held it to Ye Xiruo's lips: "Little Yezi, would you like to try your own cooking first?"
"I definitely won't ruin my own reputation, absolutely not," Ye Xiruo said confidently.
Sure enough, it tasted exactly like she remembered. Ye Xiruo squinted her eyes happily. Her grandmother used to make fish balls for her all the time. The fish balls were already delicious as is when they were freshly cooked, but if you cooked them in fish soup and added some chopped green onions, cilantro, seaweed, and glass noodles, the taste would be absolutely amazing.
Fish balls taste different when deep-fried. They can also be added to hot pot or stir-fried with other dishes; each method has its own merits.
"Brother Xiuqi, you should try it too. When we go back, we can try different kinds of fish balls, and we can also make it a signature dish of Zuixianlou."
Xiu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, the food in this world is very advanced."
"Yes, such a short life, besides realizing those great life ideals, all that's left is to eat."
Ye Xiruo was quick; within an hour, she had cooked a large bowl full of fish balls. Looking back at the green broth, she saw it was almost ready. She poured the broth into two separate hot pots, adding fennel, star anise, goji berries, red dates, mushrooms, and other seasonings to the clear broth. She added a generous amount of red chilies and Sichuan peppercorns to the spicy broth, covered it, and slowly stirred it.
On Xiu Qiyu's side, sword energy crisscrossed, and plates of freshly made, beautifully shaped, and evenly sliced meat were being prepared.
Ye Xiruo even specially prepared two plates of chicken wings and chicken feet, which were her favorites. Of course, she also prepared plenty of fish balls.
The fish soup was ready, its milky white color emitting an enticing aroma. Even without any added ingredients, it was still incredibly delicious. Ye Xiruo tossed in a few fish balls, ladled out two bowls of fish ball soup, and sprinkled some bright green vegetables on top. The flavorful fish soup paired with the bouncy and refreshing fish balls was simply divine.
This was the first time Xiu Qiyu had ever tasted such food. Although it was made with ordinary ingredients, the flavor was surprisingly good. Was it really because of Xiao Yezi's magical touch?
Ye Xi's love for hot pot has never wavered. The clear broth was prepared for Xiu Qiyu, but her true love is always the spicy hot pot.
Xiu Qiyu and Ye Xiruo had eaten hot pot together before, but the ingredients were nothing compared to what Yuan Fei was going to eat today. However, sitting together today, they felt an indescribable sense of relaxation, and they should have an iced drink at this moment.
Sure enough, Xiu Qiyu understood Ye Xiruo's heart best, and soon magically produced two glasses of chilled grape juice.
"Let's have a drink."
"Okay, let's have a drink." Ye Xiruo, Xiu Qiyu, and Ye Xiruo raised their glasses together.
Adding fresh vegetables to hot pot creates a unique flavor. Seafood, chicken, rabbit, and other meats, when added to the rich broth, also become incredibly delicious.
Forgetting all their unpleasantness, Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu ate around the hot pot for two whole hours. Xiu Qiyu's face remained expressionless, but Ye Xiruo was truly full. She rubbed her slightly bulging belly, thinking to herself, "This is truly reaping what you sow."
"Little Leaf, go and rest!"
After eating, she felt lazy and didn't want to move at all. Ye Xiruo felt a little ashamed, but it was really instinct, and she was also desperate.
After the two had finished everything in the space and brought their spiritual power to its peak, a new day had just begun outside.
At eight o'clock, the day began. Linjiang City shed its nighttime glamour and allure, and countless pedestrians and vehicles transformed the entire city into a long, steel dragon. Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu were currently floating above Linjiang City; the environment here was truly harsh.
Once everything is done, we must leave this place as soon as possible.
Linjiang City does indeed have a good geographical location, and there is a dragon vein underground. However, the power of the dragon vein has been over-consumed and is now very weak. In a few hundred years, this dragon vein will dry up. This is something Ye Xiruo does not want to see, but she is powerless to change this situation. The development of Linjiang City is not something that anyone can change.
He sighed. Perhaps when she becomes an immortal, there will be a way to nourish an entire continent. But for now, even burying her alive would be of no use.
The news that Feng Yi got into a fight with a mysterious man at the airport yesterday, seemingly over a beautiful woman, failed to be published. Although many people already knew about it privately, no media outlet dared to report it openly—that's Feng Yi's influence.
"This woman seems to resemble the eldest daughter of the Ye family from back then."
"The eldest daughter of the Ye family is almost thirty. It's still uncertain whether this young girl has even come of age."
"So alike, so alike, so alike, it's just too alike. I was fortunate enough to meet the eldest daughter of the Ye family a few times back then. Her appearance and temperament were simply amazing. No wonder Feng Yi, a man like him, couldn't forget her and remained chaste for her."
"You really think this woman is Ye Xiruo, the eldest daughter of the Ye family?"
"Whether she is really the eldest daughter of the Ye family or not, as long as Feng Yi believes she is, that's enough. Don't you find Feng Yi's expression amusing?"
"That's right. Even if the eldest daughter of the Ye family comes back to life, facing Feng Yi, who is suspected of killing her, do you think she will continue to love Feng Yi to death or hate him to the bone? I am very much looking forward to the eldest daughter of the Ye family's performance."
"There aren't many people these days who can make someone like Feng Yi lose his composure. If we use this opportunity properly, it's not impossible to bring Feng Yi down."
“Feng Yi didn’t go back to Fengshen International yesterday; he drove home alone.”
"I'm really looking forward to what happens next."
"Little Yezi is planning to deal with Feng Yi like this. Do you want me to do it for you?" Xiu Qiyu's voice was somewhat dangerous.
Ye Xiruo waved her hand: "I'll do it myself. We can't let Feng Yi's confidants get away either."
"That's a must. Leave this little thing to me. I'll make sure Xiao Yezi is satisfied."
"I'm going to take care of Feng Yi's matter. See you tonight."
"Perhaps we'll be able to meet again before nightfall."
"I hope so."
