A sea breeze was blowing as everyone sat in a row on the rocks, each with a fishing rod in hand; even Empress Dowager Tong joined in.
Not far from the rocks where everyone was fishing, Tulichen led his guards to light several bonfires and set up the bonfire stands that Qingyan had sent.
During the day, very few people are seen at the beach, and people need other means to supplement their income.
As time went by, everyone had a catch, and even Yin caught a few bass.
Kangxi caught none, and his face grew increasingly grim. Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen, though small, had caught quite a few shrimp.
Instantly, Empress Dowager Tong burst into laughter. Seeing his displeasure, she quickly led the children away, leaving only Fei Yanggu, who had caught the most fish, to keep him company.
"Feiyanggu, I remember you weren't very good at fishing, how come you're so good now?" Kangxi still remembered that Feiyanggu's fishing record was definitely on par with his own.
Fei Yanggu was a little embarrassed. He had just competed with Kangxi today, and he was in a good mood. He said, "I don't want to lose to my son. I've been training since then. I think you should practice more often. Luckily, Qiu Mi doesn't have this skill, or it would be embarrassing!"
The waves crashed directly against the rocks. Kangxi kept staring at the waves; he rarely fished. He'd rather spend that time dealing with official documents.
"Those two brats have left, they must be giving me face. Fei Yanggu, are you sure you don't want Saito to accept the navy?" Kangxi asked Fei Yanggu.
Eshuo and Saito were appointed as commanders of the new army, with Eshuo as the principal and Saito as the deputy. In the eyes of outsiders, the Ulanara clan had gained considerable advantages.
"Yes, let the two of them stay in the new army. If they go to the navy, outsiders will have something to use against them." Fei Yanggu shook his head. If they can get close to Kangxi, they should definitely not go outside.
Kangxi laughed heartily. Fei Yanggu's idea was correct. He was also reluctant to part with Saito, after all, the boy was quite capable. He wasn't comfortable entrusting the new army to anyone else after sending him to the navy.
Qingyan watched from afar, taking in every expression on Kangxi's face.
"Little darling, are we having a barbecue today?" Saito was very happy to see that Sulan had prepared a lot of seasonings.
The twins have already started scooping things out of the wooden bucket, showing great curiosity about all the seafood.
Waaah...
Qingyan quickly turned around. Songkelierha had been pinched by a crab, and now, looking at her swollen finger, she burst into tears.
"Little girl, your father said you can't move like that." Yin didn't care at all. The child must experience some setbacks before she can truly understand what is best for her.
Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen was clearly frightened, and a deep unease appeared in his eyes.
"Mother..." Hutulifengsheng Zhalafen saw Qingyan coming over and immediately threw herself into her arms, her little face devoid of any smile.
She patted her daughter's back, looking at the crabs in the wooden bucket. Each one had a large, fat claw, and looked very strong.
"Let's go out, Lanaq." Seto opened his arms and hugged the little girl. "Look, that's a crab. Its two front claws are very strong."
Seto took the two children and led them to the barrel. He crouched down, avoiding the two pincers, and picked up the crab. This kind of stone crab has a lot of meat.
"Wow, that's awesome!" Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen clapped his hands and exclaimed.
While Yin and Yin were discussing dinner, they noticed that Saito had all three children by his side, while Yin Genjue Luo Shi and Qing Yan were tidying up the dinner.
"Lord Saito is very patient, like he's taking care of a child," said Ingenjueluo Shi with envy.
In fact, Yin often took Songkelierha to the residence of the Yingenjueluo clan. Her father and brothers all liked the little girl very much and would take her running around the residence.
“They get even crazier when they play. Before, I went to the new house, and these three actually ran into the vegetable garden to dig for earthworms, and then went to the garden to fish for the worms my father raises.” Qingyan said in a low voice.
Pfft!
Yin Genjue Luo Shi covered her mouth and laughed. Sure enough, they were very fond of their children. Even Yin was like that. During his days off, he would often take his daughter and run around. As soon as she finished dealing with the affairs of the mansion, she would find that the father and son had disappeared somewhere.
"Forget it, is this enough to eat?" Yin Genjue Luo Shi was unsure.
Kangxi said that today was an ordinary day, and the two daughters-in-law would be in charge of cooking. Qingyan's cooking skills were quite good, so she would just be her assistant.
"The tents are all set up, now all we need to do is cook." Qingyan glanced around and saw that the chefs who had accompanied the procession had already begun to assist. Qingyan personally prepared the sea bass.
Qingyan's movements were skillful; she made incisions on the sea bass and then stuffed shredded scallions and ginger into the fish's belly.
"Little darling, did you do it yourself?" Yin Genjue Luo asked, puzzled.
In the mansion, Qingyan was very favored. Why was she so familiar with kitchen matters?
"Hmm." Qingyan didn't say much, only offering to help Yin Genjue Luo Shi.
Yin and Yin sat on the beach, watching the people fishing in the distance, and a sense of melancholy arose in their hearts. When they reached forty, would they still be able to be so leisurely?
"It's good that there are more of these things; the children will be able to understand them better. We can't let them really become ignorant of the five grains," Yin Wuxian said with emotion.
Yin Genjue Luo always said that he and his daughter always played too dirty.
Later that afternoon, lunch was ready. Kangxi could smell the aroma wafting from afar. Seafood was grilling on the grill, sizzling and delicious. Qingyan was using special bamboo tongs to constantly move the seafood around.
Large scallops were topped with glass noodles and chopped green onions, grilled one by one, and then placed on a plate. They were also served with a special sauce.
Empress Dowager Tong sat in the tent with the curtains open, looking at the scallops that Shu had brought out, and she was also a little hungry.
"Aunt, Xiao Guai's cooking is quite good, please try it first." Consort Tong highly recommended the food prepared by Qingyan. Every time, Emperor Kangxi would pay attention and have the imperial chefs try it themselves.
"That child seems alright, a steady one." Empress Dowager Tong had a good impression of Qingyan, and seeing that Yin Genjueluo Shi had a good relationship with him, she felt quite emotional.
Consort Tong used an ivory hairpin to pick up a scallop, topped with vermicelli and chopped scallions, which tasted incredibly delicious.
At the seaside, after Kangxi and Fei Yanggu finished eating, he immediately ordered the guards around him to dig up more scallops.
These are actually quite nice.
Qingyan baked the food one by one, and Yingenjueluo Shi took care of it, giving some to everyone except her.
"Little darling, I'll watch over things for a while, you go and have something to eat too." Yin Genjue Luo Shi admitted that there would definitely be delicious food if she followed Qing Yan.
