Chapter 335 Too Heavy
"So fast?" Xue Zhonglan exclaimed.
"It's not fast anymore. It will be dark soon." Yu Mengqing said again.
In the backyard of the general's mansion.
Yu Mengqing had already taken out the iron rack and barbecue ingredients from the space early on.
Even the vegetables were prepared early.
Fortunately, there are a lot of vegetables planted in the backyard of this general's mansion, otherwise, I really don't know how to explain where these things came from.
"Princess, the fish cage in the pond..." When she was about to say something, she heard Qiu reminding her.
"Oh, if you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten. Okay, just arrange for someone to pull it up."
Qiu: “…”
Could she say that this wasn't what she wanted to express?
Instead, we need to give the princess some information first, because when the fish cage is pulled up later, there may be no fish.
Just seeing the princess's confident look, Qiu swallowed her words silently.
Forget it, let’s pull the fish cage up first.
"Mengqing, let's go and take a look together. I wonder what the pond is like now?" Guo Peiying suggested.
Hearing this, everyone looked eager to make a move.
Yu Mengqing shook her head helplessly and said, "Let's go and take a look together!"
Anyway, the fish were pulled out of the pond and everyone saw it with their own eyes, so Yu Mengqing had nothing to feel guilty about.
In the backyard pond.
When Zeng Zhaoming and his friends were pulling the cage, they never thought that there would actually be fish inside.
This pond is neither big nor small, and the fish are not stupid enough to hide in the fish cage!
With this mentality, Zeng Zhaoming finally pulled the fish cage...
"Huh?"
"What's the matter?"
"Is this fish cage stuck by something?" Zeng Zhaoming asked curiously.
Yu Mengqing: "..."
Could she say that it wasn't stuck, but that there were too many fish and shrimps inside and it would take more force to pull it out?
Of course, she also took this fish cage out from the space.
The fish and shrimp in the Lingquan Pond will naturally swim into the fish cage. Xiao Hei told her all this.
After thinking about it, Yu Mengqing ordered: "Be a little harder!"
"I'm afraid of tearing the fish cage."
"No, no, please be a little harder!" Yu Mengqing continued.
Chu Shiheng on the side: "..." How come he didn't know that his wife was such a good actress?
After hearing Yu Mengqing's words, Zeng Zhaoming really pulled it up with great force.
But the fish cage was too heavy, and even for someone who had practiced martial arts for many years, it took him a lot of effort to pull it up.
When Zeng Zhaoming felt something jumping in the fish cage, he pointed at it and subconsciously asked, "Princess, this..."
Looking at the fish cage in front of her, Yu Mengqing naturally saw it too, and said very calmly: "Open it and take a look!"
"Yes, Princess!"
But when the fish cage was opened, everyone was stunned.
"This fish..."
“This shrimp…”
"Isn't it too fat?"
"Not only fat, but also big, and this..."
"Yes, yes, what is this?" Guo Peiying asked, pointing to a crayfish that was bigger than her palm.
Seeing this, Yu Mengqing didn't think there was anything strange about it.
After all, at that time, they didn't know about crayfish.
“This is called crayfish!”
"This is what you call small?" Xue Zhonggui asked in confusion, pointing at the crayfish.
Yu Mengqing: “…” Could she just say, it’s just a name, so there’s no need to be so fussy about it?
Just looking down at the "very big" crayfish, Yu Mengqing herself felt that calling it a crayfish was not appropriate.
"But Mengqing, can this little...crayfish be eaten?" Xue Zhonglan asked.
“Of course you can eat it, and it’s very delicious.”
When she said this, Yu Mengqing's saliva was almost flowing.
How long has it been since she last tasted crayfish? Perhaps it’s been so long that even she has forgotten it?
Add some minced garlic, minced ginger and some chili peppers, and the taste is simply amazing.
"There are two more, I guess there are quite a few, pull them up quickly!" Yu Mengqing said to Zeng Zhaoming again.
Hearing this, Zeng Zhaoming did not hesitate this time.
Someone was immediately arranged to go down.
Sure enough, pulling it up also yielded a lot of rewards.
"Princess, there are so many, we can't finish them all!" Looking at the baskets full of fish and shrimp, Qiu couldn't help but say.
"Well, I'll bring some back to the people working in the mansion later!" Yu Mengqing said casually.
"Princess, this..."
"Go!"
After that, he picked out a few particularly large fish and shrimps from the basket and put them in a basket, then said to Qiu:
"Take this back and eat it later. You can see there's a lot here. I can't finish it. This is just right for Captain Hu to nourish his body."
Yu Mengqing was not exaggerating when she said this.
These are fish and shrimps raised with spiritual spring water, which are of great benefit to Hu Dayong.
"Princess, then I, an old woman, thank you!"
This time, Qiu did not hesitate to be polite with Yu Mengqing, but took it readily.
First of all, she knew that the princess was not the kind of person who was hypocritical.
When she said this, she naturally hoped that I would accept her kindness.
Secondly, she really needs these fish and shrimp.
There wasn't anything good at home, so she mostly ate and lived in the general's mansion.
Her son came back suddenly, and he was injured, so she wanted to let him recuperate well.
Looking at these fish and shrimps, it was obvious that Yu Mengqing herself did not expect there would be so many. The ones she put down were not this big.
I think the fish and shrimp in this pond have gradually grown up.
It’s just that there may not be as big one as in the space.
He also selected a few particularly large crayfish, handed them to the kitchen staff, and said:
"Shell these first, no need to cook them, I'm going to marinate them later."
"Raw pickled? Does it mean eating it raw?" Huang from the kitchen asked in disbelief.
She really didn't know that this kind of thing could be eaten raw.
Not only Huang had this idea, but Chu Shiheng and the others were also shocked when they heard Yu Mengqing say that she wanted to eat it raw.
This is a shrimp, and it’s a raw shrimp. How can it be dead or alive?
Yu Mengqing knew that what she said would provoke such a reaction from them.
But she didn't intend to explain.
When they eat it, they will naturally understand how delicious it tastes.
I’m afraid that by then, they will all scramble to eat it.
"Mengqing, are you planning to peel it and eat it raw?" After trying hard to hold it in, Guo Peiying couldn't help but ask.
