Chapter 34 Caught two little cuties

"Prepare this fish, we'll have grilled fish today!"

At the command, the maids and old women all started moving under Yuyan's command. The big fish was scaled and gutted, cleaned and fried in a pan until both sides were golden brown, and then a handful of side dishes were added, filling a whole pot!

The barbecue smell is fragrant enough to begin with, and with the addition of grilled fish and various spices, the aroma fills half of the British palace!

After catching such a big fish on the first cast, Shu Yunfu was full of confidence and cast the hook again.

With a fishing rod in one hand and grilling chicken wings in the other, he is so cool and unruly. There are only a few people like him in the capital, let alone in the whole of Dayong.

But Shu Yunfu did just that. She didn't care about other people's views or comments and lived happily.

"Gudu!"

Just as she was fishing in all directions with her fishing rod, she suddenly heard a loud sound of swallowing saliva. When she looked in the direction of the sound, she saw two three-head-tall little kids hiding behind the tree!
"Miss! Master! Why are you here? Where are the servants serving you?"

Yes, the two little kids hiding behind the tree are none other than Gu Changting and Liu’s children, the eldest daughter Gu Qiuyi and the eldest son Gu Wenyu!

The two little guys are only about three blocks of tofu tall, but they are as delicate as jade, like the golden boy and jade girl under the Bodhisattva's seat. At this moment, they are holding hands and hiding behind a big tree, watching the barbecue that keeps emitting fragrance. Their big round eyes are watery and full of desire.

However, although the little guy was cute, Shu Yunfu frowned.

These two little kids, one four years old and the other three years old, are still at the age when they cannot live without someone around them, but there is no one around them. The Duke of England’s mansion is so big and there are so many people. What should we do if something happens!
"Qiuyi and her brother ran out after smelling the aroma. Aunt Shu, what delicious food are you making? Can Qiuyi and her brother eat it?"

Being discovered, the two little guys were a little nervous and scared, but they soon puffed out their chests and stared at her barbecue. They were so brave. If she remembered correctly, they had only met once at the welcoming banquet and had never spoken to each other.

Should we say that he is worthy of being Gu Changting's son?

"You actually sneaked out!"

Shu Yunfu gasped as her guess came true. Aren't these two little things too bold? But they are also smart enough. They are only a few years old and yet they can sneak away. But now that the Liu family has discovered that they are missing, I'm afraid there will be a big fuss.

"Beautiful Aunt Shu, Qiu Yi is hungry!"

"Wenyu is hungry too!"

Perhaps they felt her kindness, the two little guys were not afraid and ran over, pulling her skirt with their tender little hands, tilting their chubby little faces, and shouting in their tender voices that they were hungry. Their little looks really made people want to stretch out their devilish hands.

"No! You can't eat this even if you're hungry. This is for adults. You're young, you can't eat this."

I couldn't help but pinch the chubby faces of the two little guys, but the words that came out of my mouth were so cold and heartless.

She had no doubt about the charm of this barbecue, but these two were the darlings of the entire British Mansion. She didn't dare to give them any random food, even if they tried to act cute.

"But..." Shu Yunfu changed the subject and watched the two pairs of eyes turn from lost to bright. She winked at them mischievously and said, "I'll ask them to prepare something edible for you."

"What is it? What is it?" "It's delicious!"

The two cubs' eyes were shining, and they almost pulled Shu Yunfu's skirt off.

"Wait!"

The corners of her mouth twitched, and after pulling back her skirt, she tapped the two little guys' noses and instructed Yuyan, "Go and get two servings of the double-skin milk we made today, grill a few skewers of mushrooms and two chicken wings wrapped in rice, and use less seasoning and no chili."

After settling the two little guys who looked well-behaved but were actually naughty and daring, she turned around and sent someone to inform Mrs. Liu that the two darlings were with her and to come here to pick them up.

"Be careful, call me when you see a fish is hooked, and don't let the fish drag you into the water." By then, you won't know whether it's the people fishing or the fish that's fishing the people.

Perhaps it was because they found this strange Aunt Shu unexpectedly easy to talk to and kind. After only a short while of spending time with her, the two little ones were no longer reserved and began to show their true nature as children.

Seeing that she was fishing, he also clamored to join in. If she disagreed, he would blink his big watery eyes and look at her aggrievedly, which made her feel full of guilt. In the end, she could only resist and asked someone to prepare two more fishing rods.

However, there was one thing she had not expected, that even though fishing is such a boring activity, these two little guys actually enjoyed it so much, with a string of grilled mushrooms in one hand and a fishing rod in the other, their cheeks puffed up and their eyes staring at the water, looking like they were ready for a big fight.

I guess these two little guys have treated this as a new game.

"Wow! These chicken wings are delicious!"

“Mushrooms are delicious too!”

However, compared to the fishing activity that did not catch any fish for half a day, it was obvious that the food at the entrance made the two little guys more interested. The crispy chicken wings on the outside and tender on the inside, the soft and delicious rice, and the crispy and juicy grilled mushrooms instantly made the two little guys squint their eyes with joy.

After eating a string of mushrooms, two pairs of big eyes looked at her and the grilled lamb skewers in her hands. Although they didn't say anything, their eyes were full of desire. Silence is better than words here!
“No matter how delicious it is, you can’t eat any more. Your stomachs are so small that you won’t be able to eat more. Besides, the skewers are so greasy, your stomachs can’t handle it.” He calmly retracted the fishing rod, on which hung a palm-sized crucian carp. He turned sideways and touched the little girl’s belly. This girl was very clever and eccentric, and Xiao Wenyu was just a little follower.

"I asked the servants to make fish balls. They are delicious, fresh and tender. How about eating that later?"

"What are fish balls?"

The little girl tilted her head. She had never eaten fish balls. Are they as delicious as barbecued ones?
"Well...you've eaten meatballs, right? Fishballs are just like meatballs, one is made of meat and the other is made of fish."

The economy of Dayong is relatively prosperous, and the food culture is average, but there is a lack of creativity in the cooking. There are too many spices, and they are often added all at once, resulting in dishes with very complex flavors.

However, some dishes require a variety of spices to season, such as braised dishes, while some dishes are meant to be eaten light and original, such as fish balls.

Dayong's territory is not on the sea. The Central Plains is indeed rich in resources, but seafood is rare. Usually they only eat river fish, so river fish such as fish and shrimp are not very popular on the menu.

She has lived in Dayong for more than ten years, and has never seen anyone eat fish balls.
