When the fish was in his mouth, Hu Zhou looked at the three people with a proud face and a smile on his face, as if he was expecting the three people's admiration and surprise.
Lu Zheng, "..."
Liu Qingyan, "..."
Gao Junyu, "..."
Patting Hu Zhou's shoulder, Lu Zheng put the bowls and chopsticks aside, then stood up and silently picked two more fish from the bucket. He came to the water's edge, cleaned the fish bodies, and removed the scales with a knife.
"It will be hard for Jun Yu in the future." Liu Qingyan sighed, held Gao Junyu's hand, and looked at Hu Zhou, "Have you marinated this fish?"
Hu Zhou blinked, "Pickled?"
Liu Qingyan shook her head and sighed again, "In other words, did you add salt?"
Hu Zhou was stunned when he heard this, "No, that's right, when do you add salt to steamed fish? Do you sprinkle it before steaming? I didn't see the master sprinkle salt at that time, so I thought there was no need to add salt to steamed fish."
Liu Qingyan, "..."
Gao Junyu, "..."
Gao Junyu lowered his head and held his forehead, "I actually believed what he said. I believed he really knew how to steam fish."
Liu Qingyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She patted Gao Junyu's hand and comforted her, "I don't blame you. Don't Lu Lang and I believe it too?"
Gao Junyu said angrily, "If I believe him again, I will be a stick!"
She heard this sentence from Hu Zhou, and it is said that it came from Lu Zheng.
"Don't be so extreme." Liu Qingyan had to comfort her again, "After all, the most important thing between husband and wife is trust, and Xiaozhou didn't mean to lie to you..."
Liu Qingyan looked at Hu Zhou's slightly innocent expression and said helplessly, "After all, he really believes that he can..."
Hu Zhou:…(′owo｀)
"Um..." Hu Zhou asked cautiously, "Isn't it delicious?"
Gao Junyu thoughtfully gave Hu Zhou a large piece of fish meat with chopsticks, "Try it."
Hu Zhou blinked and then ate the fish in one bite.
Hu Zhou:/(tot)/~
"Why is this?" Hu Zhou shouted a question from his heart.
"Come here!" Lu Zheng shouted.
"Hey!" Hu Zhou agreed, turned over and jumped to Lu Zheng's side, "Master!"
At this time, Lu Zheng had already scaled and disemboweled the two white fish and was ready.
"Even if you eat raw fish, you still need soy sauce and mustard. Your all-natural steamed fish is really all-natural..."
Lu Zheng shook his head helplessly, "Look, these seasonings are ready!"
Lu Zheng said while handling the fish, add onion, ginger, garlic, refined salt, soy sauce and cooking wine, and smear it all over the white fish.
"Marine it for a quarter of an hour before putting it in the pot."
Hu Zhou was stunned, "Why is it so complicated? Why didn't I see it last time?"
Lu Zheng glanced at Hu Zhou and said, "The last time I cooked fish, you were competing with others. You didn't come over until I put the white fish into the pot and the aroma came out."
Hu Zhou, "..."
is that so?
Hu Zhou scratched his head. He had forgotten, but it was possible, otherwise he would not have had any impression of the steps before putting the fish into the pot.
Alas, I was careless at the time, and I didn’t expect that I would brag to Gao Junyu later.
The next moment, Lu Zheng was seen taking out a few more white fish from the barrel.
"What is this for?" Hu Zhou asked.
"Cook a few more dishes, after all, just one steamed fish isn't enough," Lu Zheng said.
This time, not only did Hu Zhou stand aside and watch obediently, but Liu Qingyan and Gao Junyu also came to the two of them and stopped to watch.
I saw Lu Zheng handling the ingredients skillfully, then gathering the soil into a stove, and taking out pots, pans and various seasonings from the gourd.
"Did you see that?" Lu Zheng waved his hand towards the stove, "This is called professionalism!"
"Yes, yes!" Hu Zhou was dumbfounded at this time and could only nod.
…
After a while, the dishes were served.
Steamed fish.
Braised fish.
Boiled fish.
Paper wrapped fish.
Sweet and sour fish.
Fish head tofu soup.
There is a wooden table, four benches, five dishes and one soup, a basket of steamed cakes, and a pot of green plum wine.
"Done!" Lu Zheng clapped his hands.
Gao Junyu sniffed, pulled Liu Qingyan and said, "Master Liu, you are so lucky!"
Liu Qingyan snickered, and then whispered to Gao Junyu, "Supervise Xiaozhou more."
The next moment, Hu Zhou, who was drooling over several plates of fish, felt a chill on his back.
"Come, serve, eat."
Several people came to the table, had a drink first, and then started immediately.
Hu Zhou is half tiger demon blood, and Gao Junyu is half black bear blood. They are both fish lovers.
The two of them took down the chopsticks like flying and praised the food while eating.
Hu Zhou picked up a piece of boiled fish, put it into his mouth, and asked, "Master, when I was in Tonglin County before, I never saw you cooking?"
Because I hadn’t used up the light of luck to improve my cooking skills at that time!
But of course you can't say that, so Lu Zheng squinted his eyes and asked, "Why, do you think Mrs. Liu's cooking is not delicious?"
Hu Zhou shrank his neck and said, "No, no, no, it's delicious!"
Stop talking and let’s eat fish.
Except for the three fish that Hu Zhou wasted before, all the remaining dozen or so fish have been served on the table.
Each of these deep-pool white fish is more than a foot long and weighs five pounds. After they are cooked, a table full of them is placed.
If they were four ordinary people, they would definitely not be able to finish the meal, but the four of them, Lu Zheng, were obviously not ordinary people, so...
Hu Zhou finally dipped the steamed cake into the braised fish soup and ate all the soup.
Gao Junyu originally wanted to do this, but in the end he didn't feel up to it.
Moreover, the fish was indeed fresh and tender. Even Liu Qingyan, who has little interest in aquatic products, ate about two fish.
…
After eating the fish, they drank green plum wine and chatted for a while.
Hu Zhou and Gao Junyu knew that Lu Zheng had just entered the Dingfeng Mountain realm.
Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan also learned that Gao Junyu and her parents had arrived just the day before yesterday and were preparing for their wedding banquet on the mountain.
Hu Zhou and Gao Junyu couldn't help much, so they simply went down the mountain together and walked around to increase their relationship.
Fortunately, he met Lu Zheng, otherwise if Hu Zhou was asked to cook for Gao Junyu twice, the marriage would have been ruined.
…
After eating and drinking, Lu Zheng cleaned the pots and pans and took back the gourd, and the four of them headed to Dingfeng Mountain together.
This waterfall and deep pool is located outside the boundary of Dingfeng Mountain. Several people rushed all the way, also starting at noon, and finally arrived near Dingfeng Mountain at sunset.
"Young Master!"
"Young lady!"
"Mr. Lu!"
Several people went up the mountain. The guards on Dingfeng Mountain had all seen Lu Zheng. What's more, with Hu Zhou and Gao Junyu leading the way, there was naturally no obstruction.
When a few people reached the mountainside, they found that Hu Yijun and his wife and Gao Xiu and his wife had come to wait outside the mountain gate together.
"Brother Hu! Sister! Master Gao Shan! Mr. Wang!"
After several people said hello to each other, Wang Yuzhi grabbed Liu Qingyan, looking excited and happy.
Hu Yijun also smiled and said, "As the saying goes, arriving early is worse than arriving in time. The dinner has just started, so you two can sit down together!"
