Chapter 543 Fishing

Following the path on the side of the manor, they soon arrived at the edge of Taihu Lake.

Lian Chengbi took out a dagger, dug at his feet, and dug out a large piece of soil, and then pinched out an earthworm.

Bait, thread the hook, release the line, and cast the rod.

The fishhook with the earthworms drew a beautiful arc and fell far away on the lake, creating ripples.

After inserting the fishing rod on the grass, Lian Chengbi unloaded the bamboo basket, scooped out half a basket of lake water, and then sank it by the lake, ready to release fish.

"Qilu generation, do you eat Yellow River carp on weekdays?" Lian Chengbi asked knowingly, but he had nothing to say.

Shen Bijun nodded in agreement, and then added, "Mainly carp, but also silver carp, bighead carp, crucian carp, and occasionally seafood from Ludong."

"That's actually quite a lot." Lian Chengbi said, "Most of the fish in Taihu Lake are also these fish, but there is also a specialty white fish. Let's see how lucky we are today."

As soon as he finished speaking, the fishing rod inserted in the grass began to shake slightly.

A fish is hooked!

Lian Chengbi pulled out the fishing rod, then raised it with his hand and lifted it out of the water.

A big fat fish fluttered and swung wildly in the air, but it couldn't get rid of the iron hook that had pierced the fish's mouth.

"What a pity, it's herring." Lian Chengbi shook his head.

He retracted the pole, unhooked the fish, and threw the herring into a bamboo basket in the lake to keep it temporarily. Lian Chengbi said, "But herring also has the benefits of herring. White fish is tender and suitable for steaming. As for herring, it can be grilled and eaten later."

It does seem interesting to eat the fish you caught yourself.

Shen Bijun watched Lian Chengbi dig up another earthworm, clapped his hands and said with a smile, "The next one caught must be Taihu white fish."

Lian Chengbi asked, "Do you want us to make a bet?"

Shen Bijun asked, "What bet?"

"Let's bet on whether the next fish we catch is a white fish. If it's a white fish, you win. If it's not, I'll win." Lian Chengbi said, "The loser must agree to a condition for the winner."

"What conditions?" Shen Bijun asked again.

Lian Chengbi smiled cheerfully and said, "What conditions can exist between husband and wife?"

Shen Bijun's face blushed for a moment, but she felt very interesting, so she agreed, "Okay, I'll bet!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Lian Chengbi wave his hand and throw the rod, change the direction, and sink the bait into the water again.

This time, Shen Bijun, who was involved in a gambling game, could not stay out of it. He stared nervously at the place where the fishing line contacted the lake water, feeling anxious and expectant at the same time.

Lian Chengbi looked funny, but didn't say anything. Seeing that there was no movement from the fishing rod, he went to the nearby woods to pick up some dead branches and leaves, took them to the lake and threw them into a pile.

Shen Bijun turned around and saw it, and couldn't help but ask, "What is this?"

"We'll grill the fish later!" Lian Chengbi said matter-of-factly.

"Grilled fish? Here?" Shen Bijun said in surprise.

"It's not here or anywhere, of course I fish and bake it myself, so it tastes delicious!" Lian Chengbi said.

Shen Bijun's eyes widened, looking very stupid.

She was surprised that Lian Chengbi could grill fish. After all, a gentleman is far away from the kitchen, and Lian Chengbi was a well-known gentleman. He might be able to play chess, calligraphy and painting, and he might be able to sing the wind and the moon, but how could he cook?

Then she saw Lian Chengbi opening the baggage he had just placed next to him. In addition to some bottles and jars, there was actually a small clay pot in the baggage.

"Is this clay pot used to cook fish soup?" Shen Bijun asked.

"Congratulations, you got the answer right. If you catch a white fish later, you will be in luck this afternoon." Liang Chengbi said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, the fishing rod moved again!

"Hurry! Hurry! A fish has taken the bait!" Shen Bijun shouted repeatedly. She obviously had martial arts skills, but she was too nervous to lift the pole.

Lian Chengbi jumped out in one step, pulled up the fishing rod, and saw a big silver-white fish being pulled out of the water. It struggled and shook and sprinkled a curtain of water droplets, shining with colorful colors under the sunlight.

"Taihu white fish!" Lian Chengbi laughed in surprise, looked at Shen Bijun and said, "You win!"

Perhaps for the first time, Shen Bijun's face showed excitement.

That dazzling look and pure beauty made even Lian Chengbi, who was used to seeing beauties, stunned for a moment.

Of course, Shen Bijun knew how beautiful she was. Seeing the surprise in Lian Chengbi's eyes, while she was shy, she couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Even Cheng Bi didn't hide his gaze. Shen Bijun was his wife, and it was natural for him to look at her.

After taking back the fishing rod and throwing the white fish into the fish basket, Lian Chengbi asked Lord Shen Bi, "Have you thought of any conditions?"

Shen Bijun blinked and was stunned for a moment.

She suddenly realized that she really had no conditions to raise, and she was very satisfied with everything so far.

Seeing Shen Bijun stunned, Lian Chengbi shook his head and said with a smile, "If you don't think of it, you can save it first. Let's talk about it later."

Shen Bijun shook her head. She didn't feel anything anymore. She saw Lian Chengbi's long sword leaning on the stone next to her and couldn't help but said, "How about you perform a swordsmanship for me?"

When she heard about her marriage to Lian Chengbi in Shenjiazhuang, she had imagined her married life in her mind. The scene of herself standing against a flower and her husband dancing a sword in the wind was one of the scenes she had imagined.

Since you don’t know what conditions to put forward at this time, just express your expectations.

Even Cheng Bi laughed, is that all?

"Okay!" Lian Chengbi said with a smile, "I'll process these two fish first, and you can watch while eating, okay?"

"Okay!" Shen Bijun smiled like a flower.

Then, she was surprised to see Lian Chengbi gut and scale the two fish, wash them in lake water, marinate the green fish with salt and spices, and then cut the white fish into pieces and put them into the pot.

Fire was made with dead branches, fish was grilled on a wooden rack, and stewed in a clay pot.

In just a moment, the fragrance wafted out.

Seeing Lian Chengbi skillfully turning the grilled fish and stirring the fish soup, Shen Bijun was stunned. This was completely different from the Lian Chengbi she remembered.

"Don't be too surprised. I don't stay in an inn every day when I go out. Occasionally, I live in the wild and have to make my own meals to fill my stomach." Lian Chengbi said with a smile.

Shen Bijun's eyes showed pity and love. She could hear the hardships and difficulties. The Wugui Gongzi, who was famous for his elegance and cleanliness, actually paid a lot in places that others could not see.

"Okay!"

Lian Chengbi first brought the fish soup to the stone in front of Shen Bijun, and then took the grilled fish off the fire and handed it to her.

"It's a little hot, eat slowly." Lian Chengbi said,

"Hmm!" Shen Bijun reached out to take it and nodded repeatedly.

The next moment, Lian Chengbi stepped aside, stretched out his hand to draw his sword, and smiled at Shen Bijun, "Wugui Villa, Dongyou Sword Technique, please taste it, Madam!"
