While the capital city was in chaos due to this memorial, the person involved, Zhu Ping'an, was contentedly collecting his catch.
This big fish, more than one meter long, looked quite ferocious, with a big head. The whole fish was light green with black spots, which were distributed in an orderly manner on the scales, and the belly was light white.
From the appearance, it is a sea bass, but it is very large.
Li Shu and other girls were stunned. It was the first time they saw such a big sea bass.
In fact, if you think about it, it is not surprising to catch bass here at this time. Now is the spring when the temperature is warming up, and the migratory bass has reached the breeding and spawning period. The fat bass leave the deep waters and go to the offshore bay waters to feed and spawn, and swim upstream along the rivers, so it is not surprising to catch bass here on the coast at this time.
However, it can be said that it is lucky that such a big bass can be caught with this kind of fishing rod and the fishing line and fishing rod did not break.
Sea bass tastes the best, fresh and juicy, and is the best fish. "Don't talk about sea bass being good for sashimi, the west wind is gone, and Ji Ying has not returned yet. Asking for land and asking for a house, I'm afraid I'd be ashamed to see Liu Lang's talent" - Xin Qiji's "Shuilongyin". Ancient poets put sea bass on a par with heroes like Liu Bei, which shows the status of sea bass among fish.
When he caught such a big bass, Zhu Ping'an was already thinking of the delicious bass made by the Li family chef.
With such a fish that was more than one meter long, Zhu Ping'an was invincible in this fishing competition.
Li Shu has always had good luck. After Zhu Ping'an caught a big bass, Li Shu also caught a huge one with bared fangs and claws. When he lifted the rod, Li Shu was so scared that her face turned pale.
This is a large lobster that weighs two or three pounds, almost as long as an arm. It waved its two large claws and clamped the bait tightly, unaware that it would soon become a seafood dish...
After that, Zhu Pingan caught another palm-sized fish. Li Shu had good luck all the time. She caught two more fish after catching the lobster. But compared with the big fish caught by Zhu Pingan, they were not good enough. Baozi, the little maid, had bad luck and her fishing skills were very weak. After Li Shu caught five or six fish and lobsters and Zhu Pingan caught a big bass, she still got nothing.
However, at the end of the fishing trip, God finally showed favor to the little maid Baozi and she caught a pink squid that weighed about half a pound.
Seeing the squid reminded Zhu Ping'an of the grilled squid he had eaten in modern times. Street vendors put squid on the iron plate and sizzled it, adding sauce and chili. He and a few other losers in the dormitory ate while walking and watching the beauties hugged by others on the street. It was a feast for the eyes and it was wonderful.
"I beat Zhu Ping'an. I caught the most fish." Li Shu raised her chin slightly, looked at Zhu Ping'an provocatively, blinked her big watery eyes and said in a soft voice.
"Please look at the size of the fish before you speak." Zhu Ping'an pointed at the big bass circled in the big bathtub at his feet and smiled at the arrogant girl who was playing tricks.
"Why do we have to look at the size? We didn't say we would look at the size before." Li Shu's provocative attitude faded, and she snorted twice. "We just compare according to the number of fish."
"We didn't say we would look at the quantity before." Zhu Ping'an spread his hands, expressing helplessness.
"It's just about quantity." Li Shu rolled her eyes at Zhu Ping'an and pouted coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, then let's go by quantity. You win."
Zhu Pingan smiled slightly, spread his hands, and looked indifferent. Fishing is a form of entertainment. Why should we care too much about winning or losing? If we take winning or losing too seriously, we will lose our happiness.
"What do you mean by quantity? That's right. You only caught three fish, but I caught six. There's also a lobster this big..." Li Shu puffed up her cheeks proudly, and gestured with her pink hands to the lobster she caught. Her eyes were full of boasting and pride. At the end, she added with a smile, "This is my first time fishing~~"
Blah Blah…
There is no one more arrogant than me.
Compared with Li Shu's pride and Zhu Ping'an's indifference, the little maidservant beside her hung her head. Looking at the weird-looking squid she caught, she wanted to cry but had no tears. I caught such an ugly fish...
"Then admit that you lose." Li Shu looked at Zhu Ping'an with burning eyes, like a pool of clear spring water, with a delicate forehead and eyebrows, and a charming smile.
"Well, I lost." Zhu Ping'an said indifferently, "Tell me what you want."
"As for the request... I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I'm done." Li Shu blinked her watery eyes cleverly, with a hint of playfulness and pride.
"Whatever." Zhu Ping'an shrugged, then suddenly turned his head to look at the chubby little maid who was lowering her head beside him.
“What…what?”
Zhu Ping'an's sudden action made the little maid Baozi a little at a loss. Her voice trembled after being looked at by Zhu Ping'an for a few seconds.
Uh, why did I suddenly think of a short and famous joke "What... what!"? By the way, is my hormone secretion too much recently? Zhu Pingan shook his head slightly and smiled speechlessly.
Zhu Ping'an's speechless smile, in the eyes of others, was a bit evil...
So, the little maidservant Baozi trembled even more...
Li Shu on the side clenched her hands...
"In terms of quantity, I won over Huaer. I can make a request, right?" Zhu Ping'an said with a smile.
"Ah? What are you doing?!"
After hearing what Zhu Ping'an said, the little maid Baozi was at a loss, and her face turned red all of a sudden.
At this moment, the air around Li Shu seemed to have turned cold...
"I want you to..."
Zhu Pingan looked at the maid Baozi and said something. Then he slowly shifted his gaze from the maid Baozi's face to the lower part...
Hey, where are you looking
Shameless, dirty, wretched... Li Shu looked like she was going to go berserk any minute. The chubby little maid's face looked like it was covered in red ink. Her little hands kept rubbing the corners of her clothes, and her heart was beating wildly: Oh, really, it's so embarrassing, why are you so anxious, I'm the young lady's maid, and when you marry the young lady, you don't need to say anything...
"I want the squid you... caught." Zhu Ping'an's finger fell on the pink squid at the feet of the little maid Baozi, and he pursed his lips and continued.
"Ah, squid." The little maidservant opened her mouth wide.
"Yeah, what else do you think?" Zhu Ping'an nodded, then looked at Li Shu and said with a smile, "Please ask your chef to make some grilled squid and grill it for us."
"I'd rather roast it and make soup with it!" Li Shu glared at Zhu Ping'an and said unhappily.
"Cook some soup. Oh, by the way, I have a question for you." Zhu Pingan suddenly changed the subject and looked at Li Shu.
"You take the test." Li Shu said casually.
"Haha, you agreed to grill it." Zhu Ping'an laughed, "Then I'll trouble your chef."
"childish… "
Li Shu was slightly stunned, then rolled her eyes at Zhu Pingan and gave a coquettish sound.
Waves, beaches, seafood
Thanks to the generous gift of the sea and to the chef of the Li family, Zhu Ping'an touched his swollen belly, lay on the deck, and burped with satisfaction.
By the way, the chef of the Li family is really good. I just mentioned the method of grilled squid, but I didn’t expect that he could really make grilled squid with excellent taste. Well, the steamed sea bass is also good, and the lobster tastes great...
Compared to going to Beijing to take the imperial examination, this trip was a relaxing one to the core. (To be continued.)
